Temporal Token Files for Selective Multimedia Content Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Consumers face difficulty in finding relevant multimedia content within vast amounts of user-generated content due to inefficient searching and retrieval methods, particularly for specific portions of video content or cognitive information.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that generate a temporal token file by annotating multimedia content snippets with textual tokens using NLP, extracting timestamps, and linking them to multimedia files, enabling selective access based on user input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If traditional searching methods are used to find relevant multimedia content, then comprehensive content can be accessed, but search time and difficulty increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-generating temporal token files that contain structured metadata, timestamps, and semantic information about multimedia content segments. This preprocessing allows the system to quickly retrieve relevant content without performing complex searches at query time, directly reducing search time and difficulty for users
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces temporal token files as an intermediary structure between the raw multimedia content and user queries. These token files contain extracted metadata, timestamps, and semantic tokens that mediate between the user's search intent and the actual multimedia content, enabling efficient retrieval without direct complex searching
2Loss of energy
If users access specific portions of multimedia content, then bandwidth usage is reduced, but finding the relevant portions becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary extraction and organization of content metadata, timestamps, and semantic tokens into temporal token files before user queries. This allows the system to identify and deliver only the specific portions of multimedia content that are relevant to user needs, reducing bandwidth usage while making content location easy through the pre-structured token information
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments multimedia content into discrete portions with associated temporal tokens that capture semantic meaning and timing information. This segmentation allows the system to retrieve and transmit only the specific segments users need rather than entire files, reducing bandwidth usage while the structured tokens make finding these segments straightforward
Data Source
AI summary
A method for accessing selective multimedia content within a multimedia file is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving from a user, a user input for accessing at least one of a plurality of multimedia content present within the multimedia file. The method further includes analysing a temporal token file associated with each of the plurality of multimedia content upon receiving the user input and generating a summary associated with the at least one of the plurality of multimedia content based on the analysis. The method further includes identifying the at least one of the plurality of multimedia content in response to the analysis and selectively providing access of the at least one of the plurality of multimedia content to the user.
