Personalized Video Stream Frame Insertion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for providing digital video content fail to integrate personalized information seamlessly, requiring users to switch between video content and personalized data sources, and often rely on limited plug-ins and dedicated hardware, limiting accessibility and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that generates personalized video streams by inserting customized frames into digital video content streams, using a server and downstream device to replace frames with user-specific and common data, allowing for secure, integrated delivery of personalized information alongside video content, with encryption and dynamic updates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If personalized information is provided through separate applications or websites, then users can access personalized data, but users must switch between multiple applications and sources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges personalized information and video content into a single integrated stream by inserting personalized data frames directly into the video content stream, eliminating the need for users to switch between separate applications or websites
2Adaptability or versatility
If personalized video streams are generated for each user, then each user receives customized content, but the system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the personalization process into two parts: a first set of personalized frames inserted by the server containing user-specific data and keys, and a second set of personalized frames generated by the downstream device using the keys to retrieve common content data, distributing the processing load
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces keys as intermediary elements that enable the downstream device to generate personalized frames without requiring direct access to user-specific data, simplifying the system architecture while maintaining personalization capability
3Adaptability or versatility
If frame replacement is used to insert personalized information, then personalized data is integrated into video streams, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-generating the first set of personalized frames with keys at the server before transmission, and pre-positioning common content data at the downstream device, reducing real-time processing requirements during stream delivery
Data Source
AI summary
Described are methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for personalizing video content. A server receives a request for a digital video stream from a client device and generates a first set of personalized frames to be inserted into the requested digital video stream. The server combines the first set of personalized frames and the requested digital video stream to generate a personalized video stream and transmits the personalized video stream to a downstream device. The downstream device generates a second set of personalized frames to be inserted into the personalized video stream and combines the second set of personalized frames and the personalized video stream to generate an updated personalized video stream for transmission to the client device.
