Automated Video Link Embedding via Script Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The manual process of embedding and annotating navigation links within videos is time-consuming, leading to a lack of effective direction to related videos, which diminishes revenue for content owners and limits user engagement.
Innovation Solution
An automated system generates scripts to embed and annotate video clips within target videos, using a selection module to create a link video list and a script generation module to produce mask and annotation scripts, thereby embedding and annotating navigation links automatically.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If manual process is used to embed and annotate navigation links in videos, then video processing can be performed with simple equipment, but the time and effort required increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically selects relevant videos and generates annotation scripts without human intervention. The automated script generation module creates mask scripts and annotation scripts based on video characteristics, eliminating the need for manual video processing while reducing processing time and effort
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with automated computational processes. The selection module uses algorithms to automatically identify relevant videos based on video characteristics, and the script generation module uses automated processes to create annotation scripts, substituting manual labor with computational automation
2Productivity
If automated script generation is implemented, then video processing speed increases, but the complexity of the production system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The automated system is divided into distinct functional modules: a selection module that identifies relevant videos based on video characteristics, and a script generation module that creates annotation scripts. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function efficiently, increasing overall productivity while managing system complexity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The automated script generation module serves multiple functions: it generates mask scripts for video processing, creates annotation scripts with navigation links, and integrates with the selection module to process multiple video characteristics. This multi-functionality increases processing throughput while consolidating operations into a single integrated system
3Ease of operation
If manual video annotation is performed, then system implementation remains simple, but user engagement and revenue opportunities are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates comprehensive annotation scripts with navigation links to related videos, enabling users to easily access and engage with relevant content. This automated annotation process improves user engagement and creates revenue opportunities without requiring complex manual implementation, as the system handles the complexity internally

AI summary
For automated post roll production, a selection module 320 generates a link video list 240 from a video database 110. Each link video 200 in the link video list 240 includes at least one clip characteristic 215 matching a video characteristic of a target video 105 and each link video 200 is associated with a video clip 210 and a video address 205. The selection module 320 further selects a link video 200 from the link video list 240 according to a policy 115. A script generation module 325 generates a mask script 285 that specifies a mask dimension 415, a mask mark in 420, and a mask location 410 of the video clip 210 of the selected link video 200 within the target video 105. The script generation module 325 further generates an annotation script 280 that specifies a link location for a navigation link.
