Video Search Interface With Section Linking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing videoconference recording systems do not efficiently allow users to navigate and access specific sections of video files, limiting the utility of saved video data for reference and sharing.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that processes video files to identify sections based on semantic analysis, generates transcripts, and displays search results with links to corresponding sections, enabling users to quickly access relevant parts of videoconference recordings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If users manually navigate through video files to find specific sections, then they can access video content, but the time required to locate relevant information increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by generating transcripts and indexing video sections before user search. The video file is pre-processed to create a searchable structure with timestamps and text representations, enabling rapid location of relevant sections without manual scrubbing through the entire video.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary search interface that mediates between the user and the video file. This interface accepts search queries, matches them against transcript data, and returns targeted section links, eliminating the need for direct manual navigation through the video timeline.
2Measurement precision
If the video file is divided into many small sections for precise searching, then search accuracy improves, but the complexity of the navigation system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The video file is segmented into discrete sections with associated timestamps and transcript data. Each section represents a logical unit of content that can be independently searched and accessed, enabling precise location identification while maintaining manageable navigation through the use of section links in the search interface.
3Adaptability or versatility
If semantic analysis is performed on the entire video file to enable searching, then search capability is enhanced, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
Semantic analysis is performed as a preliminary action during video processing. The system generates transcripts and creates an indexed structure of video sections before the user needs to search. This upfront processing enables rapid subsequent searches without requiring real-time analysis during user interaction.

AI summary
A method, comprising: receiving a first search query that is associated with a video file; retrieving one or more search results in response to the first search query, each of the search results corresponding to a different section in the video file; and displaying the search results on a display device, wherein displaying any of the search results includes displaying a link that points to the section of the video file, which corresponds to the search result.
