Video Map Overlay for Production Location Association
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Consumers face frustration in determining the production locations of media content, such as movies or TV shows, as they need to search through irrelevant information and may not easily access the necessary details.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that associate scenes in media content with a map of their production locations, allowing users to receive and present location information during video playback, and switch between different formats of map information based on user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If consumers use a separate service like a search engine to locate information about media content production locations, then they can access the information, but they have to sift through many irrelevant results and may not be able to easily access the information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines map information and media content into a single integrated display interface. The map is overlaid with video content, allowing users to view production locations and media content simultaneously without needing to switch between separate services or search engines, thereby eliminating the need to sift through irrelevant results
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that automatically associates media content with its production location coordinates. This intermediary process links the video content and map data behind the scenes, so users can directly access relevant production location information without manual searching or filtering
2Loss of information
If map information is presented in a detailed format, then location information is comprehensive, but the user interface becomes cluttered and harder to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the interface into distinct functional layers: a background map layer providing location context, an overlay video layer displaying media content, and interactive elements for user engagement. This segmentation allows comprehensive location information to be presented without cluttering the interface, as each layer serves a specific purpose and can be independently controlled
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes multiple display dimensions by overlaying video content on top of the map interface. This dimensional arrangement allows location information and media content to coexist in the same visual space without competing for attention, maintaining both completeness and navigability

AI summary
Methods, systems, and media for associating scenes depicted in media content with a map of where the media content was produced are provided. In some embodiments, a method for presenting map information with video information is provided, the method comprising: receiving a request for a video from a user device; determining if there is location information associated with portions of the video; in response to determining that there is location information associated with the video, causing first map information corresponding to the location information to be presented in a first format during presentation of the video; receiving an indication that the first map information has been selected; in response to receiving the indication, causing second map information corresponding to the portion of the video that was being presented to be presented by the user device, wherein the second map information is presented in a second format.
