Automated Video Editor Server for Multi-Stream Event Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Editing videos from multiple video streams is a cumbersome task, requiring significant time and monetary investment for post-production, making it challenging for individual users to share complex streams, especially in multi-player online video game streaming where live broadcasting involves high costs and equipment requirements.
Innovation Solution
An automated video editor server system that receives and processes multiple video streams, selects relevant content based on event information, and generates a single output stream in real-time, incorporating features like split screens, crossfades, and post-production effects, allowing for efficient editing and streaming without human intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual video editing from multiple video streams is performed, then video quality and content selection can be optimized, but significant time and monetary costs are required for post-production and professional equipment
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automated video stream selection and editing through self-service mechanisms where the computer automatically monitors multiple video streams, detects events based on predetermined criteria, and compiles selected clips without requiring professional editors or extensive post-production time
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical editing processes with automated electronic systems that use algorithms to monitor video streams, detect events, and compile output videos automatically, eliminating the need for professional equipment and manual post-production workflows
2Reliability
If professional equipment and software are used for live broadcasting of multiplayer gaming events, then broadcast quality can be improved, but significant monetary costs are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides multi-functional capabilities by using standard computer hardware to perform multiple tasks including monitoring multiple video streams simultaneously, detecting events across different games and platforms, compiling selected clips, and outputting the final video, eliminating the need for specialized professional broadcasting equipment
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes readily available, inexpensive computer hardware and software resources that can be easily obtained and disposed of or updated, replacing expensive professional broadcasting equipment with affordable consumer-grade components that achieve sufficient broadcast quality
3Productivity
If multiple video streams are monitored and processed in real-time, then relevant moments can be captured automatically, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the complex task of monitoring multiple video streams into separate modular components including individual event detectors for each stream, a central coordination mechanism, and an output compiler, allowing each component to handle specific functions independently and reducing overall system complexity
