Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video management systems face challenges in managing multiple sections or cuts during video shooting, leading to potential management errors.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device and method that includes a display for information display, an input interface for user operations, and a controller to manage video shooting across multiple sections, allowing for seamless transition between sections and reducing errors through user-controlled section changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If automatic OK/NG selection is performed for multiple takes, then shooting efficiency is improved, but management errors increase due to incorrect section association

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshooting efficiencyVSAvoidmanagement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary association between shot videos and section information during the shooting process. By automatically managing multiple takes and associating them with the correct section before final review, the system ensures accurate section association while maintaining shooting efficiency. The controller stores section information in advance and applies it to each take automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If manual section association is performed, then management accuracy is improved, but shooting efficiency decreases due to increased operator workload

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanagement accuracyVSAvoidshooting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically associating shot videos with section information without requiring manual operator intervention. The controller automatically manages the association between multiple takes and sections, reducing operator workload while maintaining management accuracy through automated section information storage and application.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple sections are managed simultaneously, then video production versatility is improved, but management complexity increases leading to errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo production versatilityVSAvoidmanagement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments video production into distinct sections (cuts) and manages each section independently with its own identification information. The controller handles each section separately, storing and managing section information for multiple cuts independently, which reduces management complexity while maintaining versatility in handling multiple sections simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An electronic device for managing video shooting including a plurality of cuts, including: a display that displays information on the video shooting including the plurality of sections; an input interface that inputs a user operation; and a controller that controls the display according to the user operation input on the input interface. After a video associated with a first section of the plurality of sections is shot, the controller changes an associated section into a second section from the first section, according to the user operation on the input interface, the associated section being associated the shot video, the second section being different from the first section.
