Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video playback technologies suffer from low adjustment efficiency and poor accuracy when manually adjusting playback speed, leading to a suboptimal video watching experience, especially in live streaming and recorded broadcasting scenarios.

Innovation Solution

A video variable-speed playback method that automatically recognizes target objects and their action features in a video, adjusting playback speed based on these features to match the content's attractiveness, allowing for dynamic speed adjustments that enhance user engagement and accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual playback speed adjustment is provided, then users can adjust playback speed, but adjustment efficiency is low and accuracy is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayback speed adjustmentVSAvoidadjustment efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically adjusts playback speed based on action feature recognition without requiring user manual intervention. The playback device autonomously analyzes video content, identifies key actions, and dynamically modifies playback speed to optimize viewing experience, eliminating the need for users to manually adjust speed while achieving high adjustment efficiency and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors video content through action feature recognition and uses this feedback to dynamically adjust playback speed. By real-time analyzing the recognized actions and their features, the system adapts playback speed to match content importance, ensuring both high efficiency and accuracy in adjustment based on actual video content characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If manual playback speed adjustment is provided, then users can locate video segments of interest, but adjustment accuracy is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo segment locationVSAvoidadjustment accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual mechanical operation with automated computer vision and action recognition technology. By using image processing algorithms to detect and recognize actions in video frames, the system objectively identifies content importance and adjusts playback speed with high precision, eliminating the inaccuracies inherent in manual adjustment methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a digital representation of video content through action feature extraction and uses this copy to determine playback speed adjustments. By analyzing the extracted action features as a digital model of the video content, the system achieves precise adjustment accuracy without requiring direct manual interaction with the video playback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If playback speed is adjusted manually, then users can control viewing pace, but watching experience is affected due to low efficiency and accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayback speed controlVSAvoidvideo watching experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts playback speed based on real-time action feature recognition results. Rather than static manual adjustment, the playback speed continuously adapts to the recognized actions and their features, providing a reliable and engaging viewing experience that responds automatically to video content characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the playback speed parameter automatically based on action feature analysis. By modifying the playback speed parameter in response to recognized actions and their features, the system ensures consistent and reliable viewing experience while maintaining adaptability to different video content types and scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
