Video Reaction Timestamping for Personalized Content Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video services lack the ability to effectively collect and utilize user reactions during video playback, such as interactions or emotions, to provide relevant content associated with specific frames or user input times.
Innovation Solution
A user interface is provided that allows various interaction types with a video, storing user reactions in association with specific frames based on input time, location, and reaction magnitude, enabling content provision related to these interactions during playback or upon request.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If user reactions are collected and stored in association with specific frames during video playback, then user engagement and personalized content provision are improved, but device complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments user reactions into distinct interaction types (e.g., likes, dislikes, comments) and associates each reaction type with specific video frames through timestamp data. This segmentation allows the system to process and store reaction data in an organized manner, mapping reactions to particular moments in the video without requiring complex real-time analysis of entire video streams.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary data structure that stores reaction information including reaction type, timestamp, and associated frame data. This intermediary layer acts as a buffer between user interaction and content delivery, allowing the system to process reactions asynchronously and retrieve relevant frames based on stored reaction data without requiring complex real-time processing.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple interaction types are provided in the user interface for inputting user reactions, then user engagement is improved, but interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal reaction input mechanism where multiple interaction types (likes, dislikes, comments, shares) are provided through a single unified interface component. This multi-functional interface allows users to express different types of reactions without requiring separate complex controls for each interaction type, thereby reducing interface complexity while maintaining versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The user interface dynamically adapts based on the video context and user behavior. The system can adjust which interaction types are displayed, their positioning, and their visibility based on the current video frame, user history, and engagement patterns. This dynamic behavior allows the interface to provide multiple interaction types when needed while maintaining simplicity during other times.
3Measurement precision
If user reactions are stored with detailed information including timestamp and frame association, then content personalization accuracy is improved, but data storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential elements needed for content personalization from user reactions, specifically the reaction type, timestamp, and associated frame identifier. By extracting and storing only these critical data points rather than complete reaction metadata, the system achieves sufficient timing accuracy for personalization while minimizing data storage requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter representation of reaction data by using compressed timestamp formats and frame reference identifiers instead of storing complete video segment data. This parameter optimization allows the system to maintain precise timing information for associating reactions with specific video moments while significantly reducing the storage volume required for reaction databases.

AI summary
A method, an apparatus, and a non-transitory computer-readable record medium for providing content based on a user reaction related to a video are provided. A content providing method includes: providing a user interface that comprises a plurality of interaction types to input one or more user reactions to a video during a playback of the video; storing a user reaction of a specific interaction type, which is input through the user interface among the plurality of interaction types, in association with a specific frame of the video based on a reaction input time at which the user reaction is input; and providing content related to the specific frame in response to a playback request associated with the user reaction.
