Video Tag Layout Tool for Production Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video production processes lack an efficient method for integrating and managing video tags that provide information about visible items during playback, limiting the ability for sponsors to monetize scenes and items within videos effectively.
Innovation Solution
A video tag layout tool and interface are introduced, allowing users to input and manage video tags during the production process, enabling sponsors to specify tag information, display options, and estimate revenue potential, with viewers able to toggle tag visibility during playback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If video tags are integrated into the production process, then revenue generation capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The video production process is segmented into distinct phases (pre-production, production, post-production) with tag integration capabilities at each stage. The system divides tag management into separate functional modules including tag input interface, tag placement tools, and revenue estimation components, allowing complex functionality to be managed through modular, independent units that can be activated as needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by allowing sponsors and producers to input tag information, select items for tagging, and estimate revenue potential during the pre-production and production phases, before the video is finalized. This advance planning and configuration enables revenue generation capabilities to be built into the video structure beforehand, rather than adding complexity during final assembly.
2Loss of information
If multiple tag information fields are collected, then information completeness is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The tag input interface is designed to be dynamic and adaptive, automatically adjusting the number and type of information fields based on the specific video context, item type, and sponsor requirements. The system can dynamically simplify or expand the input form, showing only relevant fields for each situation, thereby maintaining information completeness while adapting to different operational contexts to preserve ease of use.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a tiered information collection approach where essential tag fields are always collected, while additional optional fields are presented based on specific needs. This partial action principle ensures that the minimum necessary information is always gathered for functional tag operation, while allowing for expanded information collection when needed, without requiring all fields to be completed in every case.

AI summary
A first method utilizes placeholder tags to facilitate a user's adding a tag to a video scene during a production process of a video. The tag is associated with an item depicted in the video and characterized by size, shape, temporal duration, and spatial location properties with respect to the video scene. A second method facilitates a user's customizing a video scene during a production process of a video, wherein computer-generated graphic content (logo or brand name for the tagged item) is overlaid on the item depicted in the video and associated with the tag. A third method facilitates a user to add a tag to a video scene during a production process of a video, where the video scene is related to another video scene associated with the video, and the method stores data associated with said another video scene to note the tag.
