Video Capsule Embedding for Real-Time Purchasing Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for accessing purchasing resources and services from audiovisual content require users to be redirected to external websites, lacking real-time access.
Innovation Solution
A method that enriches video content with additional information and services using artificial intelligence, allowing users to access these resources directly within the video stream by selecting embedded capsule icons.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users are redirected to external websites to access purchasing resources, then users can access product information and complete purchases, but users lose real-time access within the video content and experience interruption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds purchasing resources and services directly within the video stream by nesting interactive elements (capsules) inside the video content. When users select an element in the video, a capsule icon appears containing related purchasing information and services, allowing real-time access without leaving the video environment. This nesting approach resolves the contradiction by maintaining real-time access while keeping the operation simple and intuitive.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces capsules as intermediary elements that bridge the video content and purchasing resources. These capsules act as mediators by containing embedded links, product information, and service access points within the video stream itself. When users interact with video elements, the capsules provide immediate access to purchasing services without requiring redirection to external websites, thus maintaining real-time access while simplifying user operations.
2Productivity
If video content is enriched with additional information and services, then user engagement and purchasing opportunities increase, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-enriching the video content with embedded information and services during the video creation or distribution phase. Capsules containing purchasing resources, product details, and service links are embedded into the video stream before delivery to users. This advance preparation increases purchasing service efficiency during playback while avoiding the need for complex real-time processing systems, thus resolving the contradiction between productivity and device complexity.

AI summary
A method is used for accessing remote resources and services from video content viewed on the screen of an electronic device held by a user, the video content having been previously enriched from initial content with additional information and/or services previously embedded in the video stream, which additional information and/or services are accessible in response to the user selecting an element of the initial video content being viewed, the additional information and/or services being displayed inside the video content.
