Personalized Song Video Assembly With Timeline-Aligned Clip Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current social media platforms lack the ability to allow users to listen to a longer portion of a song while watching various videos from different users that feature different parts of the song, and there is no feature to seamlessly integrate advertisements into such video playlists based on user preferences and social relationships.
Innovation Solution
A system that selects and combines short video clips from a pool of user-generated content, aligning them to a song's timeline, and incorporates targeted advertisements to create a personalized video clip for a user, considering popularity, creator relationships, and video similarity, while ensuring a seamless viewing experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If multiple short video clips featuring different parts of a song are aggregated into a longer video, then users can listen to a longer portion of the song, but the video continuity and seamless playback are compromised due to gaps between video clips
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-identifies and pre-processes gap filler videos that can be inserted between song segments. By preparing these filler videos in advance and mapping them to specific time gaps in the song timeline, the system ensures continuous playback without interruptions when transitioning between different user-generated video clips.
Solution Approach 2:
Gap filler videos serve as intermediary content that bridges the transitions between disjointed user-generated video clips. These filler videos contain the song audio continuity while providing visual content during transition periods, thereby maintaining both audio-visual synchronization and perceived video continuity for the user.
2Stability of the object's composition
If advertisements are inserted to fill gaps between video clips, then video continuity is maintained, but user experience is degraded due to interruptive advertising
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different qualities and types of content to different temporal segments of the video. Gap filler videos are selectively inserted only during specific transition gaps between song segments, while the main user-generated content segments maintain their original high-quality, non-advertising nature. This localized application of gap fillers minimizes user experience degradation.
Solution Approach 2:
Gap filler videos are designed as temporary, short-duration content elements that serve their purpose during transition periods and are then discarded. They are not permanent part of the user experience but rather transient placeholders that maintain continuity only when necessary, minimizing their negative impact on overall user experience.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a pool of user-generated video clips is used to create personalized videos, then content diversity and user engagement are improved, but system complexity increases due to video selection and synchronization requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the song into discrete time-based segments and separately manages user-generated video clips that correspond to each segment. By dividing the overall video creation task into smaller sub-tasks (selecting videos for each song segment independently), the system reduces the complexity of managing the entire video assembly while maintaining personalization capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system utilizes temporal parameters (start time, end time, duration) of both song segments and video clips as key organizing factors. By mapping videos to song segments based on time parameters and using these parameters for synchronization and gap identification, the system simplifies the complex task of video selection and assembly through parameter-based organization.

AI summary
A plurality of video clips comprising audio of a song are identified from a pool of videos. A portion of the song corresponding to the audio in each video clip is then determined. Using the determined portion, each video clip is mapped to a timeline of the song. A subset of video clips comprising different sections of the song are then selected. Video clips comprising audio from different sections of the song are selected to be included in the personalized video, which is then generated from the selected subset of video clips. The personalized video is then generated for display to the user.
