Personalized Video Clip Building Blocks for Telecommunication Services
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current telecommunication services lack effective personalization and individualization options, particularly for video-enabled terminals, where users desire unique video-based features to express their identity, both personally and professionally, but are limited by the complexity of video data and the availability of standard audio-based solutions.
Innovation Solution
A system and method utilizing pre-configured video clip building blocks to create personalized video clips for various telecommunication services, such as mailbox greetings, ring tones, and email services, allowing users to customize and combine these blocks with music and audio, and convert formats for video-enabled terminals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If standard audio-based ring back tones are used, then telecommunication services are provided with simple implementation, but users cannot distinguish between different users' terminals and express individuality
Solution Approach 1:
The video clip is segmented into multiple reusable building blocks (e.g., greeting sections, company presentation sections, service information sections) that can be independently selected and combined. This allows users to create personalized video services by assembling predefined segments rather than producing entire videos from scratch, thereby enhancing personalization while controlling complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
Video building blocks are pre-configured and stored in the system before users need them. These pre-prepared video segments (greetings, company profiles, service descriptions) are available for immediate selection and combination, eliminating the need for users to create video content from scratch and reducing the complexity of video production and management.
2Adaptability or versatility
If video clips are used for personalization instead of audio, then users can express unique identities and enhance professional appearance, but the complexity of video data management increases
Solution Approach 1:
Video content is divided into discrete, reusable building blocks that can be independently managed, stored, and combined. This segmentation reduces the overall complexity of video data management by breaking down large video files into smaller, manageable units that can be selectively assembled according to user preferences and service requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of video content from complete, monolithic files to modular building blocks with specific attributes (type, duration, content category). This parameter change enables more efficient storage, retrieval, and combination of video segments, reducing management complexity while maintaining high personalization capability.
3Ease of operation
If pre-configured video building blocks are used, then personalization can be achieved easily and quickly, but the number of available unique combinations is limited compared to full custom video creation
Solution Approach 1:
The video content is segmented into multiple independent building blocks that cover different aspects (greetings, company information, services, contacts). Users can easily personalize by selecting and combining these segments, achieving both ease of operation and sufficient customization flexibility for expressing unique identities and professional appearances.
Solution Approach 2:
The same set of video building blocks can be universally applied across different telecommunication services (ring back tones, mailbox greetings, email signatures, contact information displays). This multi-functionality allows users to maintain consistent personalization across multiple services using the same building blocks, enhancing both ease of operation and adaptability.

AI summary
A system and a method provide individualized clip telecommunication services to a user of a telecommunication network. A clip is defined by comprising at least video data. The system comprises a clip configuration subsystem configured to arrange a personalized clip based on pre-configured clip building blocks. Further, the system comprises a service provision subsystem configured to provide a personalized clip telecommunication service by subjecting a respective personalized clip to at least one basic clip utilization service. The basic clip utilization service may be selected from a group comprising a mailbox greeting service for video-enabled terminals, a ring tone service for video-enabled terminals, a ring back tone service for video-enabled terminals, an outbound greeting service for video-enabled terminals, an email service, a download service, a video format conversion service, a common access service, as well as a timer delivery service.
