Multi-Terminal Video Merging Using Time and Position Attributes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional image display systems only allow users to view videos captured by multiple mobile bodies on a single screen without the ability to generate a combined or merged video using these videos.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that obtains and combines or merges videos from multiple mobile terminals based on attribute values such as positional and time information, generating a combined video in a time series or spatial manner, and includes features for managing and rewarding right holders of the videos.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If videos from multiple mobile terminals are displayed on one screen, then users can view eyesight views of others, but it is impossible to generate and provide one useful video using the videos captured by each of two or more mobile terminals
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple videos captured by different mobile terminals into a single integrated video output. The video generation unit merges videos from multiple sources based on their attribute values (positional information, time information) to create one cohesive useful video that represents a consolidated view of the captured scenes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a video generation unit as an intermediary component between the video reception unit and the output. This intermediary processes the multiple received videos, selects appropriate ones based on attribute values, and generates a new integrated video output, thereby enabling useful video generation from multiple sources.
2Productivity
If multiple videos are processed and combined, then one useful video can be generated, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the video processing system into distinct functional units: a video reception unit that receives multiple videos, a video generation unit that processes and combines them, and attribute value comparison mechanisms. This segmentation allows each unit to perform its specific function independently, managing complexity through modular design while enabling useful video generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses attribute values (positional information, time information) as parameters to automatically select and combine appropriate videos. By comparing these parameters against predetermined conditions, the system determines which videos to merge and in what order, enabling automated useful video generation without manual intervention and reducing operational complexity.

AI summary
An information processing device includes: a video obtainer configured to obtain two or more videos captured by and transmitted from each of two or more mobile terminals associated with an attribute value set including one or more environment information which includes a positional information for identifying a capturing position or a time information for identifying a capturing time; a video generator configured to generate a combined video by combining the two or more videos associated with different time information from each other in a time series manner or a merged video by merging a part of the two or more videos associated with different positional information from each other in a spatial manner among the two or more videos obtained by the video obtainer; and a video transmitter configured to transmit the combined video or the merged video generated by the video generator.
