Real-Time Annotation System for Scene and Audio Context
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is no universal system or method to provide real-time additional information related to what users see or hear in their daily lives, which limits their learning, communication, and productivity.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a camera, tracking unit, conversion program, database, managing program, and input unit that recognizes and identifies keywords from scenes or audio, providing real-time annotations and a list of users viewing or listening to similar content, using visual or vocal outputs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a universal system is implemented to provide real-time additional information, then user learning and communication improve, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into distinct functional modules: camera unit for capturing scenes, tracking unit for monitoring user focus, conversion program for identifying keywords, database for storing annotations, managing program for processing requests, and output unit for delivering information. Each module operates independently but contributes to the overall function of providing real-time contextual information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is designed to handle multiple types of content (scenes, audio, digital data) through a unified architecture. The same core components (tracking unit, conversion program, database, managing program) serve different input types, making the system versatile across various applications while maintaining a consistent operational framework.
2Measurement precision
If real-time processing of scene data is performed, then annotation accuracy improves, but processing speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-processes and stores potential annotations in the database before they are needed. The managing program maintains a ready pool of annotated information that can be quickly retrieved and matched to current scene data, reducing the computational burden during real-time operation while maintaining accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for augmenting a user experience, such as viewing a scene or listening to an audio, is disclosed. The system provides the user with real time annotations for the part of the scene s/he is viewing or the part of the audio s/he is listening to. The scene may include text, objects, human faces or bodies. The audio may include vocal information or musical themes. The annotations include a list of users who are simultaneously viewing similar scenes or simultaneously listening to similar audio.
