Video Stream Production Value Analysis System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Online meetings lack visual fidelity compared to in-person meetings, resulting in lower engagement due to insufficient production value, largely because users are unaware of the attributes that enhance or detract from the production value of their video streams.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a processor and memory that analyzes data from a camera to identify improvements in environmental attributes and user actions, providing notifications and recommendations to enhance the production value of video streams, such as adjusting lighting, positioning, and minimizing distracting behaviors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If users use standard cameras in online meetings, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but visual fidelity and production value deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system comprising a camera controller and processing device that acts as a mediator between the simple camera and the meeting platform. This intermediary analyzes camera data, determines environmental attributes, and generates recommendations without requiring complex modifications to the camera itself, thus improving visual fidelity while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to self-improve their video quality by providing automated analysis and recommendations. The camera controller automatically captures data, analyzes environmental attributes, and presents actionable recommendations to users, allowing them to enhance production value without requiring expert knowledge or complex manual adjustments.
2Loss of information
If users are provided with real-time feedback and recommendations, then production value and engagement are improved, but information processing requirements and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information processing task into distinct modules: data capture by the camera, environmental attribute determination by the processor, and recommendation generation by the camera controller. This segmentation allows each component to handle specific aspects of information processing, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive analysis capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements partial action by providing selective recommendations based on the most significant environmental attributes rather than analyzing every possible parameter. The camera controller prioritizes recommendations that have the greatest impact on production value, reducing information processing requirements while maintaining effectiveness.
3Productivity
If the system analyzes multiple environmental attributes, then production value improvement potential increases, but data processing time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the camera continuously capture environmental data in the background before meetings or during setup phases. The camera controller pre-analyzes environmental attributes and prepares recommendations in advance, reducing real-time processing requirements and enabling faster deployment when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses periodic action by analyzing environmental attributes at specific intervals rather than continuously processing all data streams. The camera controller periodically updates environmental assessments and refreshes recommendations based on changes in the environment, balancing analysis comprehensiveness with processing efficiency.

AI summary
Apparatus, methods, and computer program products that improve production value of a video stream are disclosed. One apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor to receive, from a camera, a signal including data for an environment a portion of which is within a field of view of the camera and the data represents a set of attributes related to a current situation of the environment. The code is further executable by the processor to analyze the data to determine one or more improvements for the attribute(s) related to the current situation of the environment that, after implementation, would increase a production value of a video stream of the current situation of the environment and notify a user of the determination. Methods and computer program products that include and/or perform the operations and/or functions of the apparatus are also disclosed.
