Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack an efficient method for creating and distributing user-generated and crowd-sourced video content that meets the quality standards for inclusion in linear television programming, requiring manual editing and formatting, which is time-consuming and costly.
Innovation Solution
A content creation and distribution system that includes a user-friendly video file recording and editing system capable of capturing and transcoding video files into appropriate formats for linear television, allowing automatic uploading and filtering, ensuring compliance with predetermined constraints and quality standards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual editing and formatting is used for user-generated video content, then quality standards for linear television programming can be met, but production time and costs increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary transcoding and formatting of user-generated video content into television-appropriate formats before distribution. The video processing system automatically converts various input formats into standardized TV formats, eliminating the need for manual editing and preparation time at later stages.
Solution Approach 2:
The video processing system enables self-service automated transcoding and filtering of user-generated content. The system automatically processes, formats, and prepares video content for linear television programming without requiring manual intervention, allowing the content creation process to serve itself.
2Manufacturing precision
If manual editing and formatting is used for user-generated video content, then quality standards for linear television programming can be met, but production costs increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The video processing system enables self-service automated transcoding and filtering of user-generated content. The system automatically processes, formats, and prepares video content for linear television programming without requiring manual intervention, allowing the content creation process to serve itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual mechanical editing processes with automated electronic video processing. The video processing system uses automated transcoding technology to convert and format video content, substituting human labor with machine-based automated processes that reduce both time and cost.
3Productivity
If automated transcoding and filtering is implemented, then production efficiency increases, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The video processing system is divided into distinct functional modules including video capture, transcoding, filtering, and distribution components. Each module handles a specific aspect of the processing workflow, making the overall complex system manageable through segmentation of functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The video processing system is designed as a universal platform that can handle multiple video formats, resolutions, and content types through a single integrated system. The automated transcoding and filtering capabilities provide multi-functional processing that manages complexity through consolidation rather than requiring separate systems for each function.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving and distributing user-generated video content. In one aspect, a method includes receiving video data from a client computing device, where the video data is captured using a camera connected to the client computing device in accordance with instructions executed on the client computing device to provide the video data in accordance with predetermined constraints. The video data is automatically transcoded into at least one different format based on user credentials associated with a user of the client computing device and/or attributes associated with the video data. At least one format of the transcoded video data defines a video file in a format appropriate for inclusion in a linear television programming transmission. The transcoded video data is uploaded to a server for distribution.
