Wearable Multimedia Capture and Cloud-Based Automated Editing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modern mobile devices often fail to capture important spontaneous moments due to their limitations in capturing events too quickly or users forgetting to take images or videos when emotionally engaged.
Innovation Solution
A wearable multimedia device with a cloud computing platform that automatically captures multimedia data, processes it using a data processing pipeline, and formats it based on user preferences, allowing seamless editing and playback across various devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If a wearable multimedia device automatically captures and processes multimedia data through a cloud computing platform, then the capability to capture spontaneous moments is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cloud computing platform as an intermediary between the wearable multimedia device and the user. The device captures raw multimedia data and uploads it to the cloud platform, which then performs automated processing, editing, and formatting based on user preferences. This intermediary approach allows the device itself to remain relatively simple while achieving high automation through cloud-based processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service automation where the cloud computing platform automatically processes multimedia data without requiring continuous user intervention. The platform uses user preferences stored in the system to autonomously edit, format, and prepare multimedia content for playback, enabling the system to serve itself in the processing workflow.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multimedia data is processed through a cloud computing platform with multiple applications, then the editing capability is improved, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing multimedia data in the cloud and pre-generating multiple formatted versions based on user preferences before the user requests playback. User preferences are stored in advance, allowing the cloud platform to proactively prepare processed content, reducing the time required when the user actually wants to view or use the multimedia data.
3Quantity of substance
If the system stores multimedia data in an online database, then the memory capacity is improved, but the data transmission time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the storage function from the wearable device itself and places it in an external online database. The device captures and uploads data to the cloud-based database, freeing up local memory on the wearable device. This separation allows the device to maintain lightweight operation while leveraging the extensive storage capacity of cloud-based databases.
