Solution Overview

Problem

Current video playback systems require professional expertise and complex operations to modify video content, making it time-consuming to insert new content during playback, as modifying the source file is necessary.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for content insertion during video playback that allows users to specify an insertion time period and region, enabling the importation of content without modifying the source file, using a computing terminal with a processor and memory to receive and edit settings and content, allowing easy and fast insertion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a producer modifies a source file of the video to insert content, then the video content can be changed, but the operation becomes time-consuming and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of content insertionVSAvoidtime for modification operations
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the video content into multiple segments or time periods, allowing content to be inserted at specific segments without modifying the entire video source file. This segmentation enables targeted content insertion, reducing the complexity and time required for modification operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer between the original video source and the playback system. This intermediary enables content insertion during playback without directly modifying the source file, thereby simplifying the content insertion process and reducing operation time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a producer modifies a source file of the video to insert content, then the video content can be changed, but professional expertise is required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser capability for content insertionVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables end-users to perform content insertion operations themselves during video playback, without requiring professional video editing expertise. The system provides user-friendly interfaces and automated processes that allow ordinary users to insert content easily.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The intermediary layer abstracts the complexity of video modification operations, presenting a simplified interface to users while handling the complex processing in the background. This makes content insertion accessible to users without professional expertise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the source file is modified to insert content, then content insertion is achieved, but the original video file is altered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent customization capabilityVSAvoidintegrity of original video file
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the content insertion process from the original video source file, allowing content to be added during playback without modifying the source. This separation preserves the integrity of the original video file while enabling content customization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The intermediary layer acts as a buffer between content insertion operations and the original video file, enabling content addition while protecting the source file from modification. This maintains the stability and integrity of the original video composition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A method for content insertion during video playback, including: receiving, by a computing terminal including at least one processor, a setting parameter and insertion content, the setting parameter comprising an insertion time period and an insertion region of the insertion content in a video; and importing, by the computing terminal, the insertion content to the insertion region within the insertion time period.
