Video Content Title Amendment System for Personalized DVR Organization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for organizing video content, such as those used in digital video recorders (DVRs), often rely on titles assigned by content providers, which may not effectively cater to individual viewer preferences, leading to inefficient organization of recorded content.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that allow users to amend video content titles to user-defined ones, with the ability to automatically assign these titles to directories based on categories, using a set-top box device and video content organizing server, enabling more personalized organization and retrieval of video content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If video content is organized using titles assigned by content providers, then the organization structure is simple and easy to maintain, but it does not effectively cater to individual viewer preferences and needs
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the title information into two distinct parts: the original content provider title and a user-defined custom title. This segmentation allows the system to maintain the simplicity of provider-assigned titles while adding user customization capability through separate custom title fields, thereby improving adaptability without significantly increasing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism - a title amendment interface and processing layer - that sits between the content provider's original titling system and the user's viewing experience. This intermediary allows users to modify titles locally without changing the underlying content metadata structure, enabling personalization while maintaining system simplicity.
2Productivity
If users can amend video content titles to user-defined ones, then personalized organization and retrieval efficiency improve, but system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary organization by automatically categorizing video content into directories based on user-defined titles and keywords before retrieval is needed. This preliminary action reduces the search space and improves retrieval efficiency, as users can navigate to pre-organized categories rather than searching through all content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service functionality where users independently amend titles and organize content into their own directory structures without requiring complex system intervention. The system provides tools and interfaces that enable users to perform their own organization tasks, improving retrieval efficiency through user-driven customization while keeping system complexity manageable.
Data Source
AI summary
A method of organizing video content includes receiving video content title amendment data at a video content organizing server from a set-top box device. The video content title amendment data indicates that a first title of the video content has been changed to a second title of the video content. The method also includes receiving a request at the video content organizing server from a remote device to access data relating to the video content. Further, the method includes sending video content second title data to the remote device in response to receiving the request. The video content second title data indicates the second title of the video content.
