Solution Overview

Problem

The process of pairing audio segments and text with video frames is time-consuming and inefficient, requiring significant effort and opportunity costs for content creators, as existing methods rely heavily on manual tagging and external objects that are not easily integrated with video calculations.

Innovation Solution

A model trained on image and text representations is used to generate recommended audio segments and text, allowing for automated pairing by analyzing video frames and updating recommendations based on user input, leveraging machine learning algorithms to improve accuracy and efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual tagging and external objects are used for pairing audio segments with video frames, then the pairing process can be performed, but the time and effort required increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepairing accuracyVSAvoidtime for content creation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual tagging (mechanical human operation) with an automated machine learning model that processes video frames and generates audio segment recommendations. The model extracts visual features from video frames and matches them with audio segments from a database, eliminating the need for manual intervention while maintaining pairing quality.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically generating audio segment recommendations based on video frame analysis. The model autonomously processes video content, queries the audio database, and presents matched segments without requiring external manual tagging or intervention, allowing creators to quickly review and select from pre-generated options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If automated model-based recommendations are used, then the time required for pairing is reduced, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent creation speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The machine learning model serves multiple functions: it processes video frames, extracts visual features, generates audio segment recommendations, and can be retrained with custom data. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems for video analysis, audio matching, and database management into a single unified model, reducing overall system complexity despite the automation provided.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing video frames through the trained model to generate audio segment recommendations before the creator needs to make selections. The model is pre-trained on diverse datasets and can be further customized with creator-specific data, so the heavy computational work is done in advance, enabling quick recommendation generation during actual content creation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If a trained machine learning model is used to generate audio recommendations, then the accuracy of audio-video pairing improves, but the computational resources required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudio-video matching accuracyVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by generating audio segment recommendations for individual video frames or selected key frames rather than processing every single frame in a video. This selective processing maintains high matching accuracy for critical moments while reducing overall computational energy consumption compared to exhaustive frame-by-frame analysis of entire videos.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
