Interactive Digital Video Feed Object Selection System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current Internet technologies do not provide an easy way for users to interact with moving objects within digital video feeds, such as those used in Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), limiting user engagement and functionality.
Innovation Solution
A system that synchronizes digital video feeds with corresponding content feeds, allowing users to select and interact with moving objects by embedding links to associated information within the video feed, enabling retrieval and display of relevant content upon user selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If digital video feeds are integrated into web applications, then video delivery capability is improved, but interactivity with moving objects deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The video feed is segmented into individual detectable objects, each with unique identifiers. This allows the system to treat each moving object as a separate interactive element rather than a continuous video stream, enabling object-level interaction while maintaining video delivery capability.
Solution Approach 2:
An intermediary layer is introduced between the video feed and user interface consisting of object detectors and event handlers. This intermediary detects moving objects, tracks their positions, and translates user interactions with video content into actionable events, bridging the gap between passive video viewing and active object manipulation.
2Loss of information
If moving links are embedded in digital video feeds, then information accessibility is improved, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Moving links and associated information are prepared and embedded in advance during video feed processing. Object metadata, including links to additional information, is attached to detected objects before the video is delivered to the client, eliminating the need for complex real-time information retrieval and reducing system complexity during playback.
Solution Approach 2:
Information layers are nested within the video feed structure, with metadata and links embedded within object definitions that are themselves embedded within the video stream. This nested structure allows information to be accessed at multiple levels without requiring separate systems, managing complexity through hierarchical organization.

AI summary
A system that facilitates interactions with a digital video feed. During operation, the system receives the digital video feed, which includes a corresponding content feed, wherein the corresponding content feed is synchronized with the digital video feed, and wherein the corresponding content feed contains information associated with moving objects within the digital video feed. Next, the system plays the digital video feed within a viewer and allows a user to select a moving object being displayed within the viewer. In response to the selection, the system obtains content associated with the moving object and displays the content to the user.
