VIDEO CLASSIFICATION AND SEARCH SYSTEM TO SUPPORT CUSTOMIZABLE VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18327125 titled 'VIDEO CLASSIFICATION AND SEARCH SYSTEM TO SUPPORT CUSTOMIZABLE VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for classifying, indexing, and retrieving videos based on multiple dimensions. It allows users to search for videos based on specific parameters and creates customized clips from the responsive videos.

  • The system classifies and indexes videos based on multiple dimensions.
  • Users can search for videos by specifying desired parameters.
  • The system searches an indexed database for videos that match the query parameters.
  • It creates clips extracted from the responsive videos that are tailored to the query parameters.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Video streaming platforms can use this system to improve their search and recommendation features.
  • Content creators can easily find and retrieve specific video clips for editing or reuse.
  • Researchers can efficiently search and analyze large video datasets based on specific criteria.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Traditional video search systems often rely on metadata or manual tagging, which can be time-consuming and subjective.
  • Users may struggle to find specific video content within large databases.
  • Existing video retrieval systems may not provide tailored clips based on specific query parameters.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved video search accuracy and efficiency.
  • Customized clips allow users to find and use relevant video content more effectively.
  • Enhanced user experience on video platforms with better search and recommendation capabilities.


Original Abstract Submitted

A video classification, indexing, and retrieval system is disclosed that classifies and retrieves video along multiple indexing dimensions. A search system may field queries identifying desired parameters of video, search an indexed database for videos that match the query parameters, and create clips extracted from responsive videos that are provided in response. In this manner, different queries may cause different clips to be created from a single video, each clip tailored to the parameters of the query that is received.
