Video Supplementary Data Display via Metadata Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing online media platforms disrupt the user experience by requiring users to search for additional information related to video content in separate windows, and manual searches often fail to yield relevant information about the video's subject matter.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that analyze video metadata to identify tradeable objects, segment videos based on these objects, and generate user interface elements for playback and supplementary data display, allowing users to access relevant information concurrently with video playback without leaving the video interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users search for additional information in a separate medium, then information accessibility is improved, but user experience is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the video playback interface and supplementary information display into a single integrated interface. The system displays video content along with related supplementary data (such as stock prices, company information, or other contextual data) simultaneously within the same viewing area, eliminating the need for users to switch between separate windows or applications while maintaining access to both video and information.
2Loss of information
If manual search is performed by user, then information retrieval is attempted, but relevance of information is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically retrieves and displays supplementary information related to the video content without requiring manual user search. The server monitors video playback and automatically fetches relevant data (such as real-time stock prices, company profiles, or related statistics) based on the video's subject matter, presenting this information to users passively as they watch, thereby ensuring both retrieval efficiency and information relevance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses metadata and content analysis of the video to dynamically determine what supplementary information is most relevant to display. By analyzing video content, tags, and contextual data, the system provides feedback-driven information selection, ensuring that the displayed supplementary data is precisely aligned with what the user is currently viewing and likely interested in.
3Reliability
If supplementary data is provided in real-time, then information freshness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes connections to data sources and pre-identifies relevant supplementary information categories based on video metadata before playback begins. This preliminary preparation allows the system to quickly retrieve and display real-time data without complex processing during video playback, reducing operational complexity while maintaining information freshness.
Data Source
AI summary
A processor-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes: receiving, from a media data source, video data associated with a video; obtaining metadata from the received video data, the metadata including text associated with video content of the video; identifying one or more tradeable objects associated with the video based on the metadata; determining one or more segments of the video corresponding to the one or more identified tradeable objects, the one or more video segments having respective playback start timestamps; generating, for display on a client device, one or more user interface elements corresponding to the one or more video segments, the one or more user interface elements being selectable to initiate playback of the respective video segments; receiving, via the client device during playback of the video, a first user input selecting a user interface element corresponding to a first one of the video segments; in response to receiving the first user input: generating supplementary display data associated with a first tradeable object corresponding to the first video segment; and sending, to the client device, the supplementary display data.
