Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional video work creation apparatuses require new shooting operations for each video work, even for similar works, leading to inefficiencies in the creation process.

Innovation Solution

A video work creating apparatus that allows selection of templates, registers shot video segments, and reuses segments from other video works applied to different templates, facilitating efficient creation by referencing scenes and segments across multiple templates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If new shooting operations are performed for each video work, then each video work can be created with customized content, but the creation process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo work creation efficiencyVSAvoidshooting operation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-shooting video segments for multiple potential scenes and storing them in advance. When creating a video work, the system selects and assembles from these pre-prepared segments, eliminating the need for new shooting operations each time. This resolves the contradiction by investing time upfront to gain efficiency in subsequent creations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates copies of shot video segments that can be reused across multiple video works. Instead of shooting new content for each work, the system copies and reassembles existing segments according to different templates and scenarios, dramatically reducing creation time while maintaining customization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Productivity

If multiple video works are created from scratch, then each work can be optimized for its specific purpose, but the overall creation process becomes repetitive and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebatch video work creation efficiencyVSAvoidoperation management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments video works into discrete, reusable shot segments that can be independently selected and assembled. Each video work is composed of multiple segments that can be drawn from a common library, allowing efficient batch creation while maintaining the ability to optimize each work for its specific purpose through selective assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal library of shot video segments that can serve multiple different video works and purposes. The same segment library supports creation of various video works with different templates and requirements, reducing repetitive operations while maintaining optimization capability for each specific work.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A video work creating apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention includes: a template selection receiving unit that receives selection of a template to be applied to a video work to be created from among a plurality of templates; a shot video segment registration unit that registers each of a plurality of shot video segments corresponding to a plurality of scenes included in the selected templates; and a video work creating unit that creates a video work based on the registered plurality of shot video segments, the shot video segment registration unit being configured to register, if the selected template has a reference scene that refers to a scene included in another template as a scene-to-be-referred-to, a shot video segment corresponding to the scene-to-be-referred-to which has been registered to create another video work to which the other template is applied, as a shot video segment corresponding to the reference scene included in the selected template.
