Solution Overview

Problem

Current video search methods are inefficient due to reliance on random video covers, leading to low search effectiveness and high data traffic consumption, as users need to watch complete videos to understand processing effects.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that acquire and present multimedia resources specifically showing the use effect of target entity objects within multimedia content, reducing data traffic by providing dynamic images or video clips that visually represent the effect without requiring full video playback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If complete video is played to understand the effect of target object, then user can fully understand the processing effect, but data traffic consumption increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunderstanding of processing effectVSAvoiddata traffic consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts key frames from complete videos to create video covers that represent the processing effect. Instead of requiring users to watch entire videos, the system extracts and displays representative key frames showing the target object and its processing effect, thereby reducing data traffic while maintaining understanding of the effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates video cover copies that represent the essential information of complete videos. These video covers are generated by extracting key frames and are used as search results, allowing users to understand processing effects without consuming the full video data, thus reducing data traffic consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Device complexity

If random video cover is used as search result, then system complexity is reduced, but search effectiveness decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch result generation complexityVSAvoidsearch effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-processing videos to extract key frames and generate video covers before the search operation. This preprocessing step creates ready-to-use video covers that can be directly displayed as search results, improving search effectiveness without significantly increasing system complexity during the search operation itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments videos into key frames that represent the processing effect. By dividing the video content into discrete, representative frames, the system can display informative video covers as search results, improving search effectiveness while keeping the mechanism relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of information

If user watches complete video to understand processing effect, then accurate understanding is achieved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunderstanding of processing effectVSAvoidtime to understand effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts key frames from complete videos to create video covers that represent the processing effect. Instead of requiring users to watch entire videos, the system extracts and displays representative key frames showing the target object and its processing effect, thereby reducing time consumption while maintaining understanding of the effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Ease of manufacture

If video cover is generated randomly, then generation process is simple, but user cannot acquire effective information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo cover generation simplicityVSAvoideffectiveness of search information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-processing videos to extract key frames and generate video covers before the search operation. This preprocessing step creates ready-to-use video covers that can be directly displayed as search results, improving search effectiveness without significantly increasing system complexity during the search operation itself.
