Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies face challenges in accurately selecting a recognition unit for scene cutting from content, as users lack the expertise to appropriately set recognition engines and cutting rules, leading to inefficient and inaccurate scene cutting.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus and method that allows users to select a recognition unit based on their operation state when designating a sample scene, enabling the system to automatically set the recognition engine and cutting rules for precise scene cutting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a recognition engine is used to perform recognition processing on content for scene cutting, then the accuracy of scene cutting is improved, but the complexity of setting the recognition engine and cutting rules increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccuracy of scene cuttingVSAvoidcomplexity of setting recognition engine and cutting rules

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically selects the appropriate recognition unit and configures cutting rules based on the user's operation state when designating a sample scene. The control device performs recognition processing autonomously without requiring the user to manually set recognition engines or cutting rules, thereby maintaining high cutting accuracy while eliminating setup complexity for the user.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-configures multiple recognition units with different recognition targets (such as character recognition, object recognition, scene recognition) before the user performs scene cutting. When the user designates a sample scene, the control device automatically selects the most appropriate pre-configured recognition unit based on the operation state, avoiding the need for the user to perform complex setup actions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple recognition units are provided for different recognition targets, then the versatility of the system is improved, but the difficulty of selecting the appropriate recognition unit increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveversatility of recognition processingVSAvoiddifficulty of selecting recognition unit

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The control device monitors the user's operation state when designating a sample scene and uses this feedback to automatically select the most appropriate recognition unit from the available options. The system analyzes the operation state (such as the type of scene being marked, the duration selected, or specific user interactions) and dynamically chooses the recognition unit best suited for that particular operation, making the selection process transparent and automatic for the user.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program capable of selecting a recognition unit that performs recognition processing appropriate for cutting of a scene from a content.A recognition unit to be used for recognition processing on a content is selected from a plurality of recognition units on the basis of a state of an operation of a user when the user designates a sample scene to become a sample of a scene to be cut from the content. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an information processing system that cuts a desired scene desired by a user from a content.
