Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If the video content is made comprehensive and detailed, then the information quantity increases, but the user watching time and engagement decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo content quantityVSAvoiduser watching time
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the long video into multiple highlight segments based on recognized key moments. Each segment is independent and can be watched separately, allowing users to consume only the most important parts without time loss while preserving comprehensive content information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts highlight segments from the original long video by identifying and separating key moments. This extraction process removes unnecessary portions while retaining essential content, enabling users to watch condensed versions that reduce viewing time requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If the video is made longer to provide comprehensive information, then the content completeness improves, but the user interaction and sharing increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent completenessVSAvoiduser interaction
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the video into discrete highlight segments, the system makes comprehensive content more accessible. Users can interact with individual segments rather than the entire long video, improving ease of operation while maintaining content completeness through the collection of all segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary highlight recognition and segmentation before user interaction. By pre-identifying and preparing highlight segments, the system reduces the effort required for users to engage with content, as they can directly access pre-processed highlight portions without manually searching through long videos.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Quantity of substance

If the video platform provides comprehensive video content, then the information richness increases, but the user experience and sharing decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo information richnessVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and presents only the most valuable highlight segments from comprehensive video content. This extraction maintains information richness by preserving key moments while improving user experience by eliminating the burden of consuming entire long videos.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses highlight recognition technology to identify and extract meaningful segments based on analyzed video content. This feedback mechanism ensures that the presented segments are indeed the most valuable portions, maintaining information richness while optimizing user experience through automated selection of relevant content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
