Video Content Generation Using DVE Templates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video-production systems lack an efficient method to seamlessly integrate front-facing and rear-facing camera content from end-user devices into broadcast video content, particularly in scenarios like news reporting where simultaneous capture and real-time integration of the reporter and event footage are required.
Innovation Solution
A computing system receives video content from both front-facing and rear-facing cameras of an end-user device and uses a Digital Video Effects (DVE) template to generate third video content that combines both streams, enabling side-by-side presentation of the reporter and event footage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If video content from front-facing and rear-facing cameras is captured simultaneously for news reporting, then the ability to present both reporter and event footage is improved, but the complexity of integrating and synchronizing these video streams increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the video integration task into separate processing streams for front-facing camera content and rear-facing camera content. Each video stream is processed independently through its own DVE template application, allowing complex integration to be broken down into manageable segments that can be handled separately before being combined in the final broadcast output.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a DVE (Digital Video Effects) template as an intermediary processing layer between the raw camera inputs and the final broadcast output. This intermediary system handles the complex tasks of synchronization, positioning, and integration of multiple video streams, shielding the end system from the complexity of direct stream manipulation while enabling versatile content presentation.
2Reliability
If real-time integration of multiple camera streams is performed, then the quality of video programs is enhanced, but the processing time and computational resources required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies DVE templates in advance to the video streams during the capture and initial processing phase, rather than performing complex integration operations in real-time during broadcast. By pre-positioning and pre-synchronizing video content using templates, the system reduces the computational burden during live transmission while maintaining high video program quality.
3Productivity
If DVE templates are used to combine video content from multiple cameras, then the integration efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs DVE templates as a universal solution that can handle multiple video streams from different camera sources (front-facing, rear-facing, and additional cameras) using the same template-based framework. This multi-functional approach allows a single template system to manage diverse integration scenarios, improving productivity while containing system complexity through standardized processing.

AI summary
In one aspect, an example method includes (i) receiving, by a computing system, first video content captured by a front-facing camera of an end-user device; (ii) receiving, by the computing system, second video content captured by a rear-facing camera of the end-user device, wherein the first video content is captured by the front-facing camera while the second video content is captured by the rear-facing camera; and (iii) using, by the computing system, the received first video content, the received second video content, and a DVE template to generate third video content that includes the received first video content and the received second video content.
