Video Tagging Interface for Selectable Segment Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in finding specific segments of videos related to their interests within large video collections, as existing systems lack efficient methods to navigate through video content based on topics or entities, leading to time-consuming manual searches.
Innovation Solution
A system that generates selectable inputs based on tags associated with video transcripts, allowing users to select specific times within a video to watch segments related to their interests, by analyzing audio data to identify entities and topics and displaying these inputs for easy navigation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users manually search through video content to find specific segments, then they can locate desired content, but it takes a substantial amount of time and effort
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of video content by generating transcripts and extracting tags/entities before the user searches. This pre-processing creates an indexed structure of video segments with associated metadata, allowing users to quickly jump to relevant portions without manually watching or searching through entire videos.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces tags and entities as intermediary elements between the user and video content. Instead of directly searching video segments, users search for tags/entities that represent key subjects, people, or topics in the video. These intermediaries enable indirect but efficient access to specific video portions through semantic matching rather than direct temporal or spatial search.
2Loss of information
If the system provides complete video content, then users can access all information, but users must manually navigate through large amounts of content to find relevant segments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments video content into discrete portions associated with specific tags and entities. Each video segment is independently indexed with metadata about its content (people, topics, objects), allowing the system to present only relevant segments to users based on their search criteria, rather than requiring them to navigate through the entire video.
Solution Approach 2:
Tags and entities serve as intermediaries that bridge complete video information and user-friendly navigation. The system maintains full video content while using tags as a navigation layer that simplifies access to specific portions, enabling users to find relevant content without manually browsing through unrelated segments.
3Productivity
If the system analyzes video transcripts to generate tags and selectable inputs, then users can quickly access relevant video segments, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically generating transcripts from video audio and autonomously extracting tags and entities without requiring manual annotation or curation. This automated content analysis enables the system to build its own indexing structure, improving access speed while managing complexity through automation rather than manual processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual video analysis and tagging mechanisms with automated computational processes. Instead of human reviewers manually transcribing and tagging video content, the system uses speech-to-text conversion and natural language processing algorithms to automatically generate transcripts and extract meaningful tags, substituting mechanical human labor with computational automation.
Data Source
AI summary
One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for displaying videos based upon selectable inputs associated with tags are presented. For example, a video may be identified. A transcript, associated with the video, may be determined. The transcript may comprise a plurality of text segments. The transcript may be analyzed to generate a plurality of sets of tags associated with the transcript. A plurality of selectable inputs may be generated based upon the plurality of sets of tags. A video interface, comprising the plurality of selectable inputs, may be displayed on a first device. A selection of a first selectable input may be received via the video interface. The first selectable input may be associated with a first tag of the plurality of sets of tags and a first time of the video. A second device may display the video based upon the first time of the video.
