Virtual Space Video Reformatting for Avatar Customization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems fail to effectively utilize videos and still images generated from virtual spaces beyond streaming to users, limiting their application and creativity.
Innovation Solution
A video processing method that allows users to generate videos with different avatars using selected format elements from a virtual space, enabling the creation and manipulation of videos through various formats and settings, and associating format data with the videos for further utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional systems store reproduction information with video images for basic playback functionality, then video reproduction is enabled, but the system fails to effectively utilize videos beyond streaming, limiting application and creativity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts format data (avatar information, camera settings, lighting conditions, scene parameters) from the video content and stores it separately as reusable metadata. This allows the video content to be streamed once while the extracted format data can be applied to generate new videos with different avatars or settings, enabling versatile utilization without re-streaming the original video data.
Solution Approach 2:
The stored format data serves multiple functions: it enables video reproduction, allows generation of new videos with different avatars, supports video editing and manipulation, and facilitates creative applications. The same format data structure supports various operations including avatar substitution, scene recreation, and video format conversion, making the system highly adaptable.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users want to create customized videos with different avatars from virtual spaces, then creativity and flexibility are enhanced, but the complexity of video generation and format management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments video content into distinct format data categories (avatar information, camera settings, lighting conditions, scene parameters, animation data). This segmentation allows users to selectively modify individual elements (e.g., change only the avatar while keeping camera settings) without having to manage the entire video structure, reducing the perceived complexity while maintaining customization flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary extraction and organization of format data from source videos before user customization. By pre-processing videos to separate and store format data in structured formats, the system prepares reusable components in advance, making the subsequent video generation and customization processes simpler and more user-friendly despite the underlying system complexity.

AI summary
A video processing method executed by processing circuitry, the video processing method comprises obtaining at least one format element which is used to generate a first video including a first avatar in a virtual space; and generating a second video, including a second avatar different from the first avatar, using a selection format element which is selected from the at least one format element.
