COPYRIGHT AND TRADEMARK NOTICE

This application includes material which is subject or may be subject to copyright and/or trademark protection. The copyright and trademark owner(s) have no objection to the facsimile reproduction by any of the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office files or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright and trademark rights whatsoever.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to automatically detecting inflection points in a music track and enabling transitions at those spots, thereby creating a transition video. Secondly, it relates to being able to automatically stop recording the video at the identified transition points of the music track so that a user may continue recording the video in hands-free mode. Lastly, it relates to marking the inflection points in the music track and making a marked-up version of the music track to create automated transition videos.


BACKGROUND

Nowadays, video posting and sharing are growing over digital platforms, and users share their memories and events of life with friends around the world. With the propagation of digital cameras and mobile devices, users have more digital content to share on digital platforms. So, there is a massive amount of need for users to edit videos. Video transition effects are widely used in video editing to connect shots for creating cohesive and visually appealing videos. However, it is challenging for non-professionals to choose the best transitions due to the lack of cinematographic knowledge and design skills.


There are some existing editing tools to assist with video editing. However, their primary target users are professionals, while novices may find it challenging to learn. Moreover, they still lack the ability to automatically video edit. Also, many of these editing tools require manual video editing. The main problem with manual video editing today is that it requires a massive amount of work from the user: the user must record each segment, then edit each segment to a level where a smooth transition is achieved in the resulting video. These edits may include cropping a portion of the video from each segment at the end or the beginning, aligning the body frames between the different segments, and resizing the body frames as needed to achieve alignment. Unless positioned accurately to use the same distance and angle from the camera, perfect alignment may not be achieved using these techniques.


In the light of the aforementioned discussion, there exists a need for a certain system and method for automatically creating transition videos with novel methodologies that would overcome the above-mentioned challenges.

Alternatively, CPU 610 may contain only a single general-purpose processing unit.


RAM 620 may receive instructions from secondary memory 630 using communication path 650. RAM 620 is shown currently containing software instructions, such as those used in threads and stacks, constituting shared environment 625 and/or user programs 626. Shared environment 625 includes operating systems, device drivers, virtual machines, etc., which provide a (common) run time environment for execution of user programs 626.


Graphics controller 660 generates display signals (e.g., in RGB format) to display unit 670 based on data/instructions received from CPU 610. Display unit 670 contains a display screen to display the images defined by the display signals. Input interface 690 may correspond to a keyboard and a pointing device (e.g., touch-pad, mouse) and may be used to provide inputs. Network interface 680 provides connectivity to a network (e.g., using Internet Protocol), and may be used to communicate with other systems (such as those shown in FIG. 1) connected to the network 104.


Secondary memory 630 may contain hard drive 635, flash memory 636, and removable storage drive 637.

Removable storage unit 640 may be implemented using medium and storage format compatible with removable storage drive 637 such that removable storage drive 637 can read the data and instructions. Thus, removable storage unit 640 includes a computer readable (storage) medium having stored therein computer software and/or data. However, the computer (or machine, in general) readable medium can be in other forms (e.g., non-removable, random access, etc.).


In this document, the term “computer program product” is used to generally refer to removable storage unit 640 or hard disk installed in hard drive 635. These computer program products are means for providing software to digital processing system 600. CPU 610 may retrieve the software instructions, and execute the instructions to provide various features of the present disclosure described above.


The term “storage media/medium” as used herein refers to any non-transitory media that store data and/or instructions that cause a machine to operate in a specific fashion. Such storage media may comprise non-volatile media and/or volatile media. Non-volatile media includes, for example, optical disks, magnetic disks, or solid-state drives, such as storage memory 630. Volatile media includes dynamic memory, such as RAM 620. Common forms of storage media include, for example, a floppy disk, a flexible disk, hard disk, solid-state drive, magnetic tape, or any other magnetic data storage medium, a CD-ROM, any other optical data storage medium, any physical medium with patterns of holes, a RAM, a PROM, and EPROM, a FLASH-EPROM, NVRAM, any other memory chip or cartridge.


Storage media is distinct from but may be used in conjunction with transmission media. Transmission media participates in transferring information between storage media. For example, transmission media includes coaxial cables, copper wire and fiber optics, including the wires that comprise bus (communication path) 650. Transmission media can also take the form of acoustic or light waves, such as those generated during radio-wave and infra-red data communications.
