Video Encoding Device Embedding Metadata for Highlight Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices require significant time and resources for generating highlight videos as they necessitate post-processing of original video data to determine the sections for the highlight video, which is inefficient.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device that generates additional information based on user interaction and encodes images as video data, storing a video file including this information, thereby reducing the need for post-processing and enhancing the generation of highlight videos.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If post-processing is performed on original video data to determine sections for highlight video, then the highlight video can be generated, but the time and resources required increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by embedding additional information (metadata, timestamps, scene descriptors) during the original video capture and encoding phase. This pre-prepared data structure allows the highlight video generation to directly query and assemble sections without performing intensive post-processing analysis, thus reducing generation time while maintaining accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The video encoding process serves itself by automatically generating and embedding the additional information needed for future highlight video creation. The encoding system creates a self-contained data structure that includes all necessary metadata for section identification, eliminating the need for separate analysis processes and reducing overall processing time
2Measurement precision
If post-processing analysis is performed on original video data, then sections for highlight video can be identified, but computational resources are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by capturing and encoding additional information (scene metadata, timestamps, descriptive tags) at the time of original video recording. This pre-extracted data is stored with the video, allowing highlight sections to be identified through simple data queries rather than computationally intensive post-processing analysis, thus reducing energy consumption while maintaining identification accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a simplified copy of essential video information in the form of embedded metadata and additional information structures. This copy contains the critical data needed for section identification (timestamps, scene descriptors), allowing the system to work with this lightweight data representation instead of analyzing the full original video data, thereby reducing computational resource requirements
3Productivity
If additional information is embedded during image capture, then post-processing time is reduced, but the complexity of the encoding process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the additional information generation and video encoding processes into a single integrated operation. The encoding system simultaneously compresses video data and embeds metadata, timestamps, and scene descriptors into the same data stream, creating a unified file structure. This combination eliminates separate processing steps and reduces overall system complexity despite the enhanced functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The video encoding process is designed to be multi-functional, simultaneously performing compression, metadata generation, timestamp embedding, and data structure creation. This universal encoding system handles multiple tasks in one pass, reducing the need for separate specialized components and simplifying the overall system architecture while enabling fast highlight video generation
