SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING SEARCH AND REPLACE FUNCTIONALITY FOR VIDEOS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045904 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING SEARCH AND REPLACE FUNCTIONALITY FOR VIDEOS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system and method for searching and replacing a portion of a video. It involves retrieving the video and generating a video index that indexes various elements of the video such as text, audio, and video. A search query is received, which can include text, audio, image, or video elements. Features and embeddings are extracted from the search query and compared with the video index to identify a portion of the video that matches the search query. The identified portion is then automatically replaced with a replacement portion to generate a revised video.

  • The system and method involve searching for and replacing a portion of a video.
  • A video index is generated to index elements of the video such as text, audio, and video.
  • A search query is received, which can include text, audio, image, or video elements.
  • Features and embeddings are extracted from the search query.
  • The search query features are compared with the video index to identify a matching portion of the video.
  • The identified portion is automatically replaced with a replacement portion to generate a revised video.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Content editing and modification in videos.
  • Video search and retrieval based on specific elements.
  • Video summarization and highlighting of relevant portions.
  • Video content personalization and customization.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient and accurate searching for specific elements within a video.
  • Automated replacement of portions in a video based on search queries.
  • Streamlining video editing and modification processes.
  • Enhancing video content management and organization.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved video search and retrieval capabilities.
  • Time-saving and automated video editing and modification.
  • Enhanced user experience through personalized video content.
  • Efficient management and organization of video assets.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system and method and for searching for an element in and replacement a portion of a video is conducted by retrieving the video and generating a video index for the video, the video index indexing a plurality of elements of the video such as text, audio and video. to search in the vide, a search query is received that includes at least one of a text element, an audio element, an image element, or a video element. features and embeddings are extracted from the search query before comparing the search query features with the video index to identify a portion of the video that includes one of the text element, audio element, image element or video element of the search query. the identified portion is then automatically replaced with a replacement portion to generate a revised video.
