Personalized Video Trailer Generation via Plot Element Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing content delivery systems fail to engage users effectively with personalized content because standard video trailers do not feature segments aligning with individual user interests, leading to missed opportunities in content consumption.
Innovation Solution
A computer-based process that automatically generates personalized video trailers by segmenting content into plot elements based on user preferences, using machine learning models to select and arrange segments that match user interests, creating a coherent trailer that showcases relevant plot progression.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If standard one-size-fits-all trailers are used, then production complexity is low, but user engagement and content viewing likelihood decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments video content into distinct plot elements (introduction, complication, resolution, etc.) and creates separate trailers tailored to each plot element type. This allows the system to generate personalized trailers by selecting and combining appropriate plot element segments based on user preferences, resolving the contradiction between personalization and complexity through structured content organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by analyzing user profile data and dynamically selecting which plot element segments to include in trailers based on individual user preferences. This parameter-based customization enables personalized trailers without requiring complete redesign of the trailer generation process, balancing adaptability with manageable system complexity.
2Productivity
If content is segmented and personalized for each user, then user engagement increases, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary segmentation of video content into plot elements during content ingestion or pre-processing, creating an organized structure of reusable segments. This preliminary action allows the system to quickly assemble personalized trailers by selecting pre-segmented plot elements rather than segmenting content in real-time, reducing generation time while maintaining personalization effectiveness.
3Adaptability or versatility
If trailers are customized to show only user-interested segments, then relevance to user interests improves, but coherence and plot progression may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by selecting specific plot element segments that match user preferences while maintaining the overall narrative structure. Each trailer is customized with plot elements relevant to the user's interests, but these segments are arranged in a coherent sequence that preserves story flow and dramatic progression, resolving the contradiction between personalization and coherence.

AI summary
Systems and methods for generating individualized content trailers. Content such as a video is divided into segments each representing a set of common features. With reference to a set of stored user preferences, certain segments are selected as aligning with the user's interests. Each selected segment may then be assigned a label corresponding to the plot portion or element to which it belongs. A coherent trailer may then be assembled from the selected segments, ordered according to their plot elements. This allows a user to see not only segments containing subject matter that aligns with their interests, but also a set of such segments arranged to give the user an idea of the plot, and a sense of drama, increasing the likelihood of engagement with the content.
