Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems are inadequate in preventing pirate broadcasting, especially for live and instantly presented video content, as they cannot instantly mark video content with subscriber credentials, leading to potential time and data losses.

Innovation Solution

A content marking system that uses a server to divide video content into image frames, randomly select and mark frames with unique subscriber credentials, and combine them to form a marked video part for live transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If video content is marked with subscriber credentials in real-time, then pirate broadcasting detection capability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepirate broadcasting detection capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video content is divided into multiple image frames, and unique marks containing subscriber credentials are embedded in specific frames. This segmentation approach enables reliable pirate broadcasting detection by distributing identification markers throughout the video stream without requiring complex real-time processing of the entire video content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The server pre-processes video content by dividing it into frames and embedding marks before transmission to clients. This preliminary action ensures that detection capability is already in place when video is received, eliminating the need for complex real-time analysis and reducing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If video content is divided into image frames and marked, then pirate broadcasting detection precision is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection precisionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By dividing video into discrete image frames and embedding marks in specific frames rather than processing the entire video continuously, the system achieves high detection precision while minimizing processing time. The segmentation allows parallel processing and reduces the computational burden on any single frame.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system embeds marks in selected frames rather than all frames, providing sufficient detection precision with reduced processing requirements. This partial action approach maintains effectiveness while reducing overall processing time and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If marks are embedded in video frames, then copyright protection is improved, but video quality may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecopyright protectionVSAvoidvideo quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

Marks are embedded in specific local regions of selected video frames rather than uniformly across the entire video. This local quality approach provides effective copyright protection while minimizing impact on overall video quality by concentrating modifications in discrete, localized areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A pirate broadcasting detection system detects the credentials of a subscriber if it is detected that a video part is used by at least one pirate user other than the subscriber while a video part created by a source is received from the source and transmitted to a client of a subscriber.
