Dynamic Video Tag Synchronization via Controller
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video playback systems on digital networks limit user and third-party interaction with video content, as existing methods for adding comments, advertisements, and additional information are restrictive and do not allow for dynamic synchronization with video playback.
Innovation Solution
A system that allows users to create, edit, and synchronize tag datasets with video playback, including visual and audio information, which can be modified by users and third parties, and controlled by a tag controller to ensure appropriate content is presented, enabling enhanced user interaction and advertising integration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional advertisement methods are used (text or images placed near video), then advertising can be displayed, but user interaction with video content remains limited and advertisements cannot be dynamically synchronized with video playback
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic tags that can be created, edited, and synchronized by users and third parties. These tags are not static but can be modified over time, allowing advertisements and user-generated content to be dynamically synchronized with video playback. The tag controller enables real-time adjustments to tag content, positioning, and timing based on video content analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a tag controller as an intermediary component between video content and display elements. This mediator manages the creation, synchronization, and presentation of tags, coordinating between video playback, user-generated content, and advertising materials. The tag controller analyzes video content and automatically positions relevant tags at appropriate moments during playback.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users are allowed to create and post comments about video content, then user participation increases, but control over undesirable content becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the tag controller monitors and evaluates user-generated tags before they are displayed. The system provides feedback to users about tag appropriateness and automatically filters or rejects undesirable content. This continuous feedback loop maintains content quality while preserving user participation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary filtering and moderation actions to user-generated tags before they are published. The tag controller pre-processes tag content, checking for policy violations and automatically approving or rejecting tags before they appear in the video playback experience. This preliminary action prevents harmful content from reaching users.
3Reliability
If advertisements are integrated with video content, then advertising effectiveness improves, but the system becomes more complex and harder to manage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments advertising content into discrete, manageable tags that can be independently created, controlled, and synchronized. Each advertisement is broken down into individual tag elements with specific timing and positioning parameters, making the advertising system modular and easier to manage. This segmentation allows precise control over ad placement without complicating the overall system.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for handling video tags. The tags are displayed synchronized to a video. A controller manages and modifies tag data that can be created by one or more users. The controller identifies a tag dataset for use with a video and provides information for synchronization and display of the tags. In a particular embodiment, features of a social-network website implementation are disclosed whereby a user community can post, filter, rate and display tags.
