Synchronized Video Player for Multilingual Quality Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for quality control in video localization, subtitling, and production are inefficient as they require manual comparison of multiple video iterations in different languages one by one, making it tedious and impractical to correct numerous videos within a single session.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented video player and quality control method that allows for the simultaneous and synchronous review and correction of multiple video iterations in different languages by displaying them in individual windows within the same screen, with synchronized controls for playback, commenting, and report generation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple videos are reviewed one by one for quality control, then each video can be examined in detail, but the review time becomes excessively long and the process becomes tedious
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple video playback operations into a single synchronized display system. Multiple videos are shown simultaneously in separate windows within the same screen, allowing quality control reviewers to compare multiple video iterations (same video in different languages) at once. This combining of previously sequential review tasks into a parallel display system resolves the contradiction by maintaining detailed review capability while dramatically reducing total review time from 100 minutes to 2 minutes for 50 videos
2Productivity
If multiple videos are displayed and controlled simultaneously, then review efficiency increases, but system complexity and resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal video player system that can simultaneously handle multiple video playback operations through a single integrated interface. The system provides synchronized control (play, pause, stop, rewind, fast-forward) for all displayed videos through common control mechanisms, making the system adaptable to reviewing any number of video iterations without requiring separate control systems for each video. This multi-functionality approach increases productivity while managing system complexity through a unified rather than multiplicated architecture
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional video review methods are used, then resource requirements remain low, but the ability to perform simultaneous review of multiple videos is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the video review process by displaying multiple videos in separate windows within the same screen, allowing simultaneous viewing of different video iterations. Each video is independently controllable yet synchronized with others, enabling the system to handle diverse review scenarios (comparing translations, checking consistency across languages) without requiring a complete system overhaul. This segmentation approach provides adaptability for simultaneous review while managing computational resources through efficient use of browser-based HTML5 video capabilities and localized processing

AI summary
A video player and a computer-implemented quality control method for video creation arranged to compare iterations of the same video in different languages comprising the steps of (a) drag and drop a plurality of videos in a video player embedded in a navigator displayed in a screen; (b) show the plurality of videos in the screen wherein each video is individually shown in one window within the same screen; and (c) simultaneously and synchronously control all the videos displayed in the screen.
