Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video processing technologies lack interactivity and interestingness in adding video effects, leading to a suboptimal user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that obtain a moving instruction to control the path of an animated object in a video frame, determine icons within the path, and add corresponding video effects, such as makeup or animation effects, to enhance user interaction and engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a single effect adding method is used, then the process is simple, but the interestingness and user interaction are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of effect adding processVSAvoidinterestingness and user interaction
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static, single effect adding method into a dynamic, multi-effect system. Multiple video effects can be added simultaneously with different parameters (position, size, transparency, animation speed) that can be adjusted independently. This allows the system to adapt to different user preferences and creates more interesting visual outcomes while maintaining operational simplicity through unified control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal effect adding system that can handle multiple types of video effects (text overlays, images, animations, decorative elements) through a single integrated interface. This multi-functional approach enhances user interaction by providing diverse effect options while keeping the operation process simple and consistent across all effect types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple video effects are added with individual control, then the interestingness and user interaction are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindividualized control and interactivityVSAvoidcomplexity of effect control system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple effect control functions into a unified interface and control system. Instead of separate controls for each effect type, the system provides unified parameters (position, size, transparency, animation) that work across all effect types. This combining approach maintains individualized control capability while reducing the perceived complexity for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent manages complexity by standardizing effect parameters across different effect types. By using consistent parameter names and control mechanisms for position, size, transparency, and animation speed across all effects, the system enables individualized control without proportionally increasing interface complexity. Users interact with the same set of parameters regardless of which effect is being modified.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If manual control of each effect parameter is required, then the precision of effect positioning is improved, but the time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of effect positioningVSAvoidtime for adding and adjusting effects
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms that provide real-time visual preview of effect positioning and parameters. As users adjust parameters, the system immediately displays the resulting effect placement and appearance, allowing for precise positioning without requiring multiple manual adjustments. This feedback loop reduces the time needed to achieve desired precision by enabling immediate visual verification and correction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent provides default parameter settings and pre-configured effect templates that are optimized for common use scenarios. When users add effects, reasonable default values for position, size, and other parameters are automatically set, allowing for quick implementation without requiring manual adjustment of every parameter. Users can then refine these pre-set values if needed, significantly reducing the time investment required for precise effect positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
