Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional video abstract generation technologies are used, then video content can be summarized, but rapid screening and retrieval of video content is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo abstract generation efficiencyVSAvoidvideo content screening and retrieval
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing video content into structured image data and storing it in a database before abstract generation is needed. This allows rapid screening and retrieval during actual use, as the data is already organized and indexed for efficient access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms video content into structured image data with specific parameters (spatial coordinates, time stamps, object attributes) that enable efficient searching and retrieval. By changing the data representation from raw video to structured parameters, the system achieves both efficient abstract generation and rapid content screening.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If structured image data is stored in a structured manner, then browsing and search efficiency is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo content browsing and searchVSAvoidstructured data processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments video content into discrete structured image data units with specific attributes (spatial, temporal, object characteristics). This segmentation allows independent processing and efficient retrieval of specific elements without handling the entire video dataset, reducing operational complexity despite the structured format.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces a database as an intermediary between raw video content and the abstract generation process. This intermediary stores structured image data in an organized manner, simplifying access and retrieval operations while managing the complexity of structured data processing through standardized storage and query mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
