Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video management systems struggle to facilitate efficient editing of videos shot in scenarios with multiple sections, lacking effective tools for prioritizing and managing video content based on user ratings.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device and method that includes a display for rating video sections, an input interface for user interaction, and a controller to generate management data for arranging video information in a priority order, enabling efficient editing of videos with multiple sections based on user ratings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple videos are captured for each section in a scenario, then the completeness and quality of video content improve, but the complexity of managing and selecting the appropriate videos increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo content qualityVSAvoidvideo management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating management data that includes priority orders for videos before the editing process begins. The controller creates this management data based on shooting dates, section information, and video properties, so that when editors need to select videos, the prioritization work has already been completed, reducing the complexity of video selection during editing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically managing video prioritization without requiring manual intervention. The controller generates management data that automatically orders videos by priority based on objective criteria (shooting date, section, video properties), allowing the system to serve itself in organizing videos rather than requiring editors to manually sort through all captured videos.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Manufacturing precision

If manual selection and organization of multiple video takes is required, then editing precision can be maintained, but the time required for the editing process increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting precisionVSAvoidediting time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary organization of videos by generating management data that includes priority orders before editing begins. This preliminary action sorts videos based on shooting dates, section information, and video properties, so that editors receive pre-organized video lists rather than having to manually sort through all takes, significantly reducing editing time while maintaining precision through the structured organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by providing editors with management data that reflects the priority ordering of videos based on objective criteria. This feedback mechanism allows editors to see which videos have been prioritized and why (based on shooting date, section, video properties), enabling them to make informed decisions quickly without losing editing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If videos are arranged without a standardized management system, then flexibility in editing is maintained, but the efficiency of the editing process decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting efficiencyVSAvoidmanagement system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies segmentation by dividing video management into distinct components: section information, shooting date, video properties, and priority order. The controller generates management data that segments videos into organized groups based on these criteria, allowing editors to work with structured, segmented video lists rather than unorganized files, thereby improving editing efficiency without requiring a fully complex centralized management system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An electronic device for managing a video in a scenario including a plurality of sections includes: a display that displays information; an input interface that inputs a user operation; and a controller that controls the display in accordance with the user operation input by the input interface. The controller causes the display to display a rating screen to acquire rating information from the input interface, the rating screen prompting the user to rate the video associated with each section of the plurality of sections, the rating information indicating user rating of the video, and generates management data in accordance with the acquired rating information, the management data managing a priority order in which video information is arranged on an edit screen for editing a plurality of videos associated with the plurality of sections, and the video information indicating each of the videos.
