Solution Overview

Problem

In social media platforms, users often feel their original content is misappropriated when derivative versions become more popular, and new users face a high barrier to creating original content due to unfamiliarity with editing options.

Innovation Solution

A computing system that allows users to apply an edits model from a first video to a second video, enabling users to reuse edit operations while ensuring proper credit and permissions, with a graphical user interface facilitating the process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users create original content from scratch, then creativity and originality are improved, but the barrier to entry and complexity of operation increase for new users

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecreativityVSAvoidbarrier to entry
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-applies a sequence of edit operations (edit model) to transform the source video into the target video. This preliminary action of capturing and storing the edit sequence allows new users to simply select and apply the model without needing to learn complex editing techniques themselves.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system copies the edit model (sequence of edit operations) from the source video and applies it to the target video. This copying mechanism allows users to replicate successful editing patterns without creating content from scratch, reducing the barrier to entry while maintaining creativity through variation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Ease of operation

If derivative videos are created using existing edit models, then ease of content creation is improved, but the original creator's credit and recognition are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of content creationVSAvoidoriginal creator's credit
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides feedback to the original creator when their edit model is applied to another video. The creator receives notification and can view the derivative video, ensuring their contribution is recognized. This feedback mechanism balances the ease of creating derivative content with protecting the original creator's reputation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If edit models are made accessible to all users, then user engagement and creativity are improved, but control over how the original content is used is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidcontrol over content usage
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system allows dynamic control over edit model accessibility. Creators can configure whether their edit models are public (accessible to all users) or private (accessible only to them). This dynamic setting enables creators to maximize engagement when willing to share while maintaining control and protecting their work when desired.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A computing system is provided which includes a client computing device including a processor. The processor is configured to execute a client program to display a first video published by a first user on a video server platform, to a second user. The processor is configured to execute the client program to display a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface includes a selectable input component configured to enable selection of an edits model of the first video. The edits model includes a series of edit operations applied to the first video. The processor is configured to execute the client program to, in response to selection of the selectable input component, apply the edit operations to a second video. The processor is configured to execute the client program to publish the second video by the second user on the video server platform for viewing by other users.
