Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for creating video summaries are either time-consuming and prone to human error or lack accuracy due to the inability to integrate user feedback and prioritize content effectively, making them inefficient and unreliable.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to analyze video and audio content, generate transcription text, create building block models, prioritize elements based on user feedback, and generate summaries within a specific time frame, allowing for user-driven prioritization and refinement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual editing is used to create video summary, then user can control content selection, but the process is time consuming and prone to human error

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of video summaryVSAvoidtime required to create video summary
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback loops where user interactions (likes, dislikes, comments) on video frames are collected and used to retrain the machine learning model. This allows the system to learn from user preferences and improve its frame selection accuracy over time, resolving the contradiction between automated speed and selection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses machine learning models to automatically analyze video content, identify important frames, and generate summaries without requiring manual user intervention. The model autonomously performs content analysis, frame selection, and summary generation, dramatically reducing time consumption while maintaining reliability through continuous learning from user feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If automated video summary is generated without user feedback integration, then time is saved, but the summary lacks accuracy expected by users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of video summary generationVSAvoidaccuracy of video summary
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates multiple feedback mechanisms including user interactions (likes, dislikes, comments) on generated frames and overall summary feedback. This feedback is processed to update the building block model and refine frame selection criteria, enabling the system to maintain high productivity while continuously improving accuracy to meet user expectations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts its frame selection criteria based on user feedback and interaction patterns. The building block model is continuously updated to reflect changing user preferences and contextual requirements, allowing the automated system to adapt its behavior to maintain both speed and accuracy across different use cases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional manual approach is used, then user understanding of video content is required, but the process is less efficient and less reliable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser control over video summaryVSAvoidefficiency of video summary creation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the video summary creation process into distinct components: automatic frame selection by the building block model, user feedback collection, model retraining, and summary generation. This segmentation allows users to maintain control over the overall process and content preferences while the automated components handle time-consuming analysis tasks, improving both efficiency and user control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The building block model serves multiple functions: initial frame selection, response to user feedback, adaptation to different video types, and generation of summaries in various formats. This multi-functionality maintains versatility and user adaptability while achieving high productivity through a single integrated automated system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Productivity

If video summary must fit specific time frame, then presentation efficiency is improved, but manual skilled editing is required which is time consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime frame efficiency of video summaryVSAvoidskill requirement for video editing
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system autonomously handles the complex task of fitting video summaries into specific time frames by analyzing video content, selecting key frames, and adjusting the summary duration automatically. The building block model performs content analysis and temporal optimization without requiring skilled manual editing, achieving time frame efficiency while eliminating the need for complex user skills.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
