Solution Overview

Problem

The production of sensory media, such as 4D movies, is hindered by high production costs and time due to the need for repetitive manual viewing and analysis, and existing automated techniques fail to provide satisfactory sensory effects as they do not consider context information.

Innovation Solution

A neural network learning model-based sensory effect information providing apparatus and method that extracts sensory effect information by analyzing videos, using a video analysis engine to separate frames, extract feature points, and associate sensory effects with objects or events, thereby generating sensory information for reproduction apparatuses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual viewing and analysis method is used to extract sensory effect information, then the accuracy and quality of sensory effects can be ensured, but the production time and cost increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensory effect information accuracyVSAvoidproduction time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical viewing and analysis process with an automated video analysis engine that uses neural networks and deep learning algorithms to extract sensory effect information from video frames, thereby eliminating the time-consuming manual process while maintaining extraction accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing the video analysis engine to automatically extract sensory effect information without requiring manual intervention, using trained neural network models to perform the analysis independently and generate sensory effect metadata

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Extent of automation

If simple image analysis based on screen switching is used, then the automation level increases, but the quality of sensory effects deteriorates due to lack of context information analysis

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation levelVSAvoidsensory effect quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from simple screen switching detection to multi-dimensional analysis by extracting features from video frames including color histograms, motion vectors, and contextual information, thereby analyzing sensory effects across multiple dimensions rather than just temporal transitions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-training neural network models with large amounts of video data and sensory effect information before actual sensory effect extraction, enabling the automated system to understand context and generate high-quality sensory effects without manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
