Description

Title: Video clip communication system
DESCRIPTION
The present invention generally relates to a system for communication via video clips, and specifically for combining and merging sets of videos that are contextually related into a video object.
BACKGROUND
Communication and providing information via short video clips is becoming more popular and there are many companies currently involved in this technology. For current video hosting websites, such as YOUTUBE, the user interface includes a video display window where a currently selected video is presented, along with various means by which one or more other videos may be selected for viewing. However, where most systems are perfectly suited for one-to-one (video chat) or one-to-many (YOUTUBE, SNAPCHAT) relations, they are not equipped to handle many-to-many relations in an easy and manageable way. YOUTUBE does not provide automatic means for assembling and editing video clips of different origin based on a common context or purpose or means for handling nonpublic private questions and replies by using video clips.
When a group of people are communicating by means of video chat clips, several branches and types of communication exist, where a response is not always a response to the previous clip, but to something a few clips back. Due to the asynchronous nature of chatting online in general, this effect is even more pronounced, where multiple messages or clips may have been received before the person has the chance to send his response, and the communication is disrupted and becoming inconsistent and non-informative.
Examples of how current technology doesn't handle many-to-one relations: a person wants to ask several questions to a large group of people with specific interests or profile. The questions are the same, and answers are given by the group. Whether we find an answer of the group most preferably, does depend on the correct answer, but also on the person (with the selected and filtered profile) we find most equipped to answer the question. This invention allows a person to ask questions to people who are not in your FACEBOOK/WHATSAPP environment, but are based for example in a specific location, or have the background or profile you find most equipped to answer the question.
The problem is compounded as the number of available videos increases.
When a number of people in a company are responsible for interviewing candidates for a new job, they want to reach a large number of potential candidates and most of the questions are the same. Normally they would use a program like SKYPE to have a conference call with every candidate. This has the disadvantage that everyone must be available at the same time and candidates have to be scheduled. This known method is inefficient because multiple interviewers have their own set of questions. Moreover usually more than one vacancy is open at the company, so that several questions are the same and candidates must often answer the same questions. When a large amount of candidates apply for several vacancies, the process of selecting and rejecting candidates is troublesome and not easy to manage.
For job agencies, applying for jobs and managing candidates are even more complicated, where multiple companies with multiple vacancies must be matched with multiple candidates.
The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods, systems and computer programs for communication via video clips, and specifically for combining and merging sets of videos that are contextually related into an information video.
Object of the present invention is therefore to provide for a computer-implemented method which overcomes the disadvantages of the know methods and systems. Accordingly the method according to the invention comprises: providing a set of information requests by a first group of users in a first database, the users of the first group being provided with one or more authorization levels, reading the set of information requests by a second group of users from the first database, answering one or more questions from the information request by one or more users of the second group, wherein the reply of the user is recorded with a video tool and an answer video clip is created, transferring the answer video clip from the video tool to the video storage, which is associated with the first database, transferring the identification labels of the user and of the answer video clip into the database, authoring and merging the answer video clips into a video object based on the identification labels, the set of information requests and on the authorization level of the user of the first group in the first database, providing the merged video object to the user of the first group having the associated authorization level.
The features and advantages described in this summary and the following detailed description are not all inclusive. Many additional features and advantages will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art in view of the drawings, specification and claims hereof.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The figures (FIGS) depict a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure for purposes of illustration only. One skilled in the art will readily recognize from the following discussion that alternative embodiments of the structures and methods illustrated herein may be employed without departing from the principles described herein.
Figure (FIG.) 1 is a block diagram of the method and system for an interview in accordance with one embodiment;
Figure 2 is a block diagram of the method and system for merging video clips in accordance with a second embodiment;
Figure 3 is a block diagram of the method and system for viewing an interview in accordance with a third embodiment;
Figure 4 is a block diagram of the method and system for replying a video and transcoding the reply video in accordance with a fourth embodiment.
Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the computer-implemented invention according to the invention. A user of the second group, e.g. someone (candidate) who wants to respond to a vacancy advertisement or apply for a job, starts in step 1 an interview on a computer device, including a smart phone, tablet or personal computer. Based on the information request in the advertisement or other communication means, including identification labels, of a user/interviewer from the first group, including a company having a vacancy or a job agency, the user/candidate from the second group loads in step 3 the relevant data from a database 2: the set of information requests. This set of information request may comprise questions, additional information, limitations, chapter/sections, levels. The question may be presented as written text on a display of the computer device used by the user/interviewer of the second group, or may be a question video clip loaded in step 7 from storage 8. In response to the question loaded in step 6, the user of the second group records the reply in step 12 creating an answer video clip by using a video tool including a camera app on a smart phone or a webcam on a personal computer. In the next step 13 is checked if the recorded reply in step 12, the answer video clip, meets the requirements set, like a limitation or restriction of the (maximum minimum) duration of the answer video clip or (maximum minimum) number of responses or amount of video clips. If all the limitation restrictions are met, the answer video clip is uploaded to a (video) storage 8, 27 which is associated with the database 2. In the next steps 11, 10, 9 are checked if all the requirements of the set of information requests are met. These requirements are e.g. the amount of questions in the sector/chapter 5 or level 4 or a combination thereof. Sets of questions in a level from a specific user/interviewer from the first group are combined in a chapter. For each stage or selection round of the job application process a different set of questions and chapters may be available and checked. If all the requirements within a set of information requests are met, the user/candidate of the first group is asked to approve the combined response to the set of information requests presented. After approval by the candidate, this approval is stored in the identification labels of the user/candidate. Subsequently all the replies, including the identification labels with the set of answer video clips, of the user/candidate of the first group are stored in the database 2 and/or (video) storage 8, 27 for review by one or more users/interviewers of the first group.
Each user/interviewer of the first group receives the answers of the one or more user/candidate of the second group of his own chapter/section and is able to evaluate or score the answers of the one or more candidates. Each user/interviewer of the first group may also be presented the answers of the one or more user/candidate of the second group of chapters/sections of other users/interviewers of the first group. When all the users/interviewers of the first group have scored the users/candidates a selection is performed between the users/candidates and the selected users/candidates are promoted to a next level or round. Then, the selected users/candidates of the second group may start again in a new level with a new set of information requests comprising additional sets of questions from the same or other users/interviewers from the first group. The personal introduction and optionally other replies in the answer video clips of the user/candidate of the second group are by means of the identification labels transferred to the answers of the next level, so that the user/candidate of the second group is not obliged to answer the same questions twice or all over.
The highest scoring users/candidates of the second group may be invited to a personal face-to-face interview.
Figure 2 shows in more detail a block diagram of the method and system for merging video clips according to the invention. If a user/interviewer of the first group wants to see a set of replies or conversations 20 of one ore more users/candidates of the second group, a filter is selected in step 21 based on one or more identification labels. These filers include a specific user/candidate from the second group, or a specific information request like a specific vacancy or specific company. In the next step 22 a merge algorithm is selected for merging the answer video clips stored. In step 26 the answer video clip is loaded from (video) storage 27 and processed in step 28. The intermediate video object is combined in step 29 to a MP4 encoded file 32 or streamed by means or HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) 33. If more replies are requested in step 30 the relevant data, including the set of information requests and the identification labels, is loaded in step 34 from database 2. In step 24 the loaded data is filtered and sorted and searched in step 25 based on the selected filters in step 21.
In an advanced embodiment of the present invention, in step 28 the method of processing the video clip comprises a step of adding additional textual information to the video clip. This additional textual information is preferably presented as a block of data, like a header, but may also be presented as a caption or a title. The textual information is preferably obtained from the set of information requests and/or the identification labels and advantageously comprises labels, which are useful during viewing the video clips including the person speaking on the video clip, the vacancy involved or the type of video clip, like answer or question.
Furthermore in an additional step, combining the individual video clips into a intermediate video object in step 29 is performed by using video editing tools including fade-in and fade-out or dissolving. Advantageously, viewing the intermediate video object by a person is less fatiguing, disturbing or disruptive due to the quick changes and cuts of clips of e.g. different candidates.
Figure 3 shows in more detail a block diagram of the method and system for viewing an interview according to the invention. If a user of the first group, here a HR (Human Resources) team 50 wants to view the set of answers of a user/candidate of the second group, firstly a candidate is chosen in step 51. Secondly, in step 52, the level of the candidate within the selection procedure is chosen in step 52. In step 53 the set of information requests for that candidate at the chosen level are loaded from database 2. In step 54 the sector/chapter is chosen containing the (video) questions of one or more users/interviewers of the HR team. In step 56 is checked if the user/interviewer has the authorisation level for viewing replies in sections/chapters of other users/interviewers. If the user/interviewer is authorized, in step 56 the question video clip is loaded from the (video) storage and the answer video clip is loaded from the (video) storage in step 59. The question and the answer are displayed to the user/interviewer in step 60. In step 61 is checked within the identification labels if a follow-up question and reply is assigned; and the question and the answer is displayed to the user/interviewer when a follow-up is available. In step 65 the user/interviewer decides, after viewing the question and the answer, if a follow-up question is necessary, and records a follow-up question video clip in step 66 with a video tool. If the user/interviewer decides that a follow-up question is not necessary, the user/interviewer provides a score to the reply, which data/information is stored in the database 2. In step 71 the set of information requests and/or the associated identification labels are updated (in database 2) with the data about the follow-up question. In step 62 is checked if all questions are answered. If a follow-up question has been added, the user/candidate is informed about the new follow-up question in step 67. If all questions are answered, including the follow-up questions, in step 63 is checked if the user/candidate of the second group has gathered enough score-points from the users/interviewers of the first group for unlocking the next level for the user/candidate in step 69. If the user/candidate failed to pass the current level due to a lack of score-points, the user/candidate is informed that another candidate(s) is chosen for the vacant job.
Figure 4 shows in more detail a block diagram of the method and system for replying a video and transcoding the reply video in accordance with the invention. If a user/candidate of the second group wants to reply to a question video clip, firstly is checked in step 81 with the set of information requests and with the identification labels in step 3, loaded from the database 2, if the user is allowed to reply. If the user is allowed, the created answer video clip recorded is uploaded in step 14 to the (video) storage 27. From this storage 27 the element video clip is loaded in step 26 and transcoded in step 28. The transcoded element video clip is stored in storage 27 and the database 2 is updated with the new information within the set if information requests. Additionally a step of adding additional textual information to the video clip is comprised in the method or a step processing the video clip(s) by using video editing tools including fade-in and fade-out or dissolving.
