Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems fail to effectively utilize videos and still images generated from virtual spaces beyond streaming, limiting their application and creativity in user interactions.

Innovation Solution

A video processing method that allows users to generate and manipulate videos using format elements, enabling the creation of personalized videos based on selected format data from existing videos, and associating format data with video metadata for further utilization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional systems store and reproduce video with reproduction information, then video reproduction is enabled, but the application and creativity in user interactions are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication and creativity in user interactionsVSAvoidvideo reproduction capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments video content into reusable format elements (avatars, backgrounds, objects, animations) that can be independently selected and recombined. This segmentation enables multiple applications of the same video content while maintaining the integrity of the original reproduction capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal format element library that can be used across multiple video generation scenarios. The same format elements can be reused to create different videos with different avatars, backgrounds, and combinations, enabling one video source to serve multiple purposes and user interactions.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If format elements are extracted and reused to create personalized videos, then user interaction and creativity are enhanced, but the complexity of video processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized video creationVSAvoidvideo processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary extraction and organization of format elements from source videos before actual video generation. Format elements are pre-processed, stored in a library, and made available for selection, which simplifies the subsequent video creation process despite the initial complexity of extraction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a format element library as an intermediary between source videos and personalized video outputs. This library acts as a mediator that stores, manages, and provides format elements, reducing the direct complexity between video processing and user customization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If reproduction information is included as metadata in image files, then scene reproduction is enabled, but the utilization of videos beyond streaming is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveutilization of virtual space-generated contentVSAvoidformat element reusability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments video content into distinct format elements (avatars, backgrounds, objects, animations) that can be independently extracted and reused. This segmentation prevents loss of reusability by organizing content into discrete, manageable units that can be selectively applied in different contexts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates reusable copies of format elements from original video content. These copies are stored in a library and can be instantiated multiple times in different video generations without losing the original content or its reusability, enabling extensive utilization beyond the original streaming context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

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.
