Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for generating theme-based videos are inefficient, requiring manual selection and editing of images, which consumes significant time and resources, and lack the ability to automatically adapt to user preferences and engagement metrics.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that automatically generates theme-based videos by querying an image database based on user profile information and engagement metrics, selecting images and soundtracks, and adjusting engagement metrics based on user feedback, using machine learning to determine image content and criteria.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If manual selection and editing of images is used for generating theme-based videos, then the quality and relevance of images can be controlled, but the time and resources required for video creation increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage selection qualityVSAvoidvideo creation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic video generation by allowing users to input simple criteria (theme, number of images, time range), after which the system autonomously queries the image database, selects appropriate images, and generates the video without requiring manual image selection or editing, thus resolving the contradiction between quality control and time consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-organizes images in a structured database with metadata and tags before video generation is requested. This preliminary organization allows rapid retrieval and selection based on user criteria, eliminating the need for manual image browsing and selection during the video creation process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If static theme selection is used, then the system structure remains simple, but the system cannot adapt to user preferences and engagement metrics

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser preference adaptationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates engagement metrics (views, likes, shares, comments) as feedback to continuously optimize theme recommendations. The theme selection algorithm uses this feedback data to learn user preferences and adjust theme suggestions dynamically, enabling adaptability while managing complexity through data-driven automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from static theme selection to dynamic theme recommendation by continuously updating theme relevance based on real-time engagement metrics and user behavior patterns. Themes are dynamically adjusted and personalized for each user based on their interaction history and current engagement trends

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Manufacturing precision

If comprehensive image criteria are applied, then the relevance of selected images to the theme improves, but the querying and processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage theme relevanceVSAvoidvideo generation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The image database is pre-indexed with comprehensive metadata, tags, and thematic classifications before querying. This preliminary structuring allows the system to rapidly filter and retrieve relevant images using multiple criteria simultaneously without requiring time-consuming sequential processing, thus maintaining both high relevance and fast generation speeds

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The image selection process is divided into multiple independent filtering stages (theme matching, time range filtering, quantity selection). Each stage processes images independently based on specific criteria, allowing parallel processing and efficient query execution while maintaining comprehensive relevance checks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Implementations relate to generating theme-based videos. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method to automatically generate a theme-based video includes obtaining image criteria for a theme from a theme definition, querying an image database to obtain a plurality of images that meet the image criteria, determining that a count of the plurality of images satisfies a threshold based on the theme definition, and generating the theme-based video that includes one or more of the plurality of images.
