Solution Overview

Problem

Users face complexity and inefficiency when searching for and playing videos featuring multiple favorite actors in variety shows, as existing methods require frequent cropping and searching, leading to high operation complexity and resource wastage.

Innovation Solution

A video playback method and apparatus that allows users to trigger an object recognition operation on video content, presenting recognized actors in an operation management area with corresponding video clips played according to set rules, eliminating the need for frequent searches and resource-intensive operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually search and crop video clips featuring multiple favorite actors in variety shows, then they can obtain the desired video content, but the operation complexity increases and resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation complexityVSAvoiddevice and network resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs object recognition, video clip capture, and playback without requiring user intervention for each individual operation. The server autonomously identifies actors in video content, extracts relevant clips, and delivers them to the client device, eliminating the need for manual searching and cropping operations while reducing resource consumption through optimized server-side processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual mechanical operations (user clicking, cropping, searching) are replaced by an automated recognition system using artificial intelligence and object detection algorithms. The system substitutes human-driven mechanical interactions with automated computational processes that identify actors and extract video clips efficiently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of information

If users frequently crop and search for video clips of favorite actors, then they can find the desired content, but the operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent retrieval completenessVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server performs preliminary object recognition and video clip extraction before the user requests the content. By pre-processing the video content to identify and extract clips featuring favorite actors, the system eliminates the need for users to perform repeated cropping and searching operations, reducing operation complexity while ensuring complete content retrieval

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If the system plays multiple video clips simultaneously in the operation management area, then users can view all favorite actors' content at once, but device resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent viewing efficiencyVSAvoiddevice energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments video content by identifying and extracting individual clips featuring different actors, then presents these segmented clips in the operation management area. This segmentation allows users to view multiple actor clips simultaneously without processing entire videos, improving viewing efficiency while reducing device resource consumption through targeted clip playback rather than full video rendering

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
