Video Summary Generation Using Audience Review Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video summary methods fail to accommodate individual viewer preferences, as they are pre-defined and do not account for varying viewer interests, leading to summaries that may be too long or too short for specific viewing times.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that generate video summaries based on audience reviews, allowing viewers to request summaries of specific lengths by selecting frames from the video that reflect interesting points, using statistical analysis to identify and rank candidate frames based on similarity and importance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If pre-defined video summary methods are used, then the summary generation process is simple, but the summary cannot accommodate individual viewer preferences and varying viewing time requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-generates multiple video summaries with different lengths (e.g., 1-minute, 3-minute, 5-minute versions) in advance using statistical analysis of audience reviews. When a viewer requests a summary, the system simply retrieves the pre-generated summary of the requested length, avoiding real-time generation complexity while maintaining adaptability to different viewing time preferences.
Solution Approach 2:
The system varies the length parameter of video summaries to accommodate different viewer preferences and viewing time constraints. By generating summaries in multiple length versions and allowing viewers to select their preferred duration, the system adapts to individual needs without requiring complex real-time adjustment mechanisms.
2Duration of action of moving object
If traditional video summary methods are used, then the processing time is short, but the summary length does not match specific viewing time requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-generates video summaries in multiple length versions (1-minute, 3-minute, 5-minute, etc.) before viewer requests. This allows the system to immediately retrieve and deliver the appropriate summary length without real-time processing delays, matching viewer time constraints while minimizing actual viewing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically provides different summary lengths based on viewer requests and time constraints. By maintaining multiple pre-generated versions with varying durations, the system adapts to different viewing scenarios (e.g., quick review vs. detailed overview) without requiring complex real-time generation, thus respecting viewer time while providing appropriate content length.
Data Source
AI summary
A computer-implemented method includes receiving a viewer request for playing a video summary of a video, wherein the viewer request includes a length of the video summary, generating the video summary of the viewer-requested length comprising a set of frames selected from the video based on audience reviews of the video, and playing a video stream of the video summary.
