Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for generating video preview content are inadequate in quality, particularly in discerning header and tail text content and rapid changes in video content, often requiring manual intervention to achieve high-quality previews.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for generating video preview content that involves parsing a video to obtain image frames, filtering out slice headers and tails using image recognition, and generating preview content based on filtered image frames, which can include calculating similarity between adjacent frames and determining a screening number for optimal preview content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If manual intervention is used to generate high-quality video previews, then the quality of preview content is improved, but the time consumption and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepreview content qualityVSAvoidpreview generation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically analyzing video content through image recognition and similarity calculation algorithms. The device autonomously identifies slice headers and tails, filters repetitive content, and generates preview images without requiring manual intervention, thereby maintaining high quality while reducing time consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual mechanical operations are replaced with automated computational systems. The patent substitutes manual video analysis with computer-based image recognition technology and automated similarity comparison algorithms, eliminating the need for human operators while achieving consistent high-quality results

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

2Measurement precision

If manual intervention is applied to discern header and tail text content, then the accuracy of content identification is improved, but the operational complexity and time required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetext content identification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Manual text identification is replaced with automated optical character recognition (OCR) technology. The system uses computer-based image recognition to automatically discern and identify text content in video frames, achieving high accuracy without requiring human operators to manually examine and transcribe text

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

Solution Approach 2:

An intermediary computational layer is introduced between the video content and the final preview generation. The patent employs image recognition algorithms as an intermediary that automatically analyzes and identifies text content, serving as a bridge that translates visual text information into actionable data for preview creation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If all image frames are used for preview generation, then the completeness of video representation is improved, but the file size and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo content completenessVSAvoidpreview generation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential and non-repetitive image frames from the video sequence. By identifying and removing slice headers, tails, and duplicate content through image recognition and similarity comparison, the patent extracts a optimized subset of frames that represent the video content completely but with reduced quantity, improving generation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the selection criteria for image frames based on similarity thresholds and content importance. By changing the parameters of frame selection (using similarity calculations and text content analysis), the system optimizes which frames are included in the preview, maintaining completeness while reducing overall frame count

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
