Sony patents AI tool to score and tweak game videos for better engagement
Sony has filed a patent for a system that uses a machine learning model to analyze video content, such as gameplay clips, and assign them a score based on how likely they are to be interesting. The system can then automatically modify the video data, such as adjusting game scenes or storylines, to improve these scores.
In the filing’s own words
System, process, and device configurations are provided for analyzing video data, such as electronic game data, and generating scoring data for video data. Processes and device configurations include training a video data analysis model to generate scoring parameters, and for an evaluation tool for video data. Highly viewed and popular videos may be used as training input to the video analysis model. At least one score parameter may be determined for scoring videos. For electronic games, at least one score may be associated with a game scene, gameplay storylines, and for scoring video data in general. Analysis of game titles and game design may be performed during design to ensure that game scenes will have a high likelihood of user interest. Embodiments may also include modifying gameplay and gameplay storylines, and evaluating game promotional videos.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: providing video data as input to a video analysis model, wherein the video analysis model comprises a machine learned model; obtaining, as output from the video analysis model, at least one score parameter for the video data; altering the video data based on the at least one score parameter to generate altered video data; and outputting the altered video data.
