Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for generating video effects are inflexible, as they cannot change configuration files such as background settings and do not allow for free adjustment of the foreground viewing angle.

Innovation Solution

An animation effect generation method and apparatus that acquire an image frame file and a configuration file, generate an animation file based on the image frames, playing times, and configuration, and control effect image frames to play based on preset shooting parameters.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional video effect methods are used, then video effects can be generated, but the system lacks flexibility in changing configuration files and adjusting viewing angles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility in changing configuration files and viewing anglesVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic configuration where the animation file can be generated with different background images and viewing angles by modifying configuration parameters. The system dynamically adjusts the animation generation process based on user-selected configuration files, enabling flexible changes in background settings and foreground viewing angles without requiring system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent separates the animation generation system into distinct modular components: image frame extraction module, animation generation module, and configuration file module. This segmentation allows independent modification of configuration files (background images, viewing angles) without affecting the core animation generation logic, thereby improving adaptability while managing complexity through modularity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If traditional video effect methods are used, then effects can be applied to videos, but the process is time-consuming and less efficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanimation generation efficiencyVSAvoidtime required for animation generation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary extraction of image frames and pre-processing of animation data before the actual animation generation. By preparing the image frame files and configuration data in advance, the system reduces the time required during the animation generation phase, thereby improving overall productivity and reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses image frame copying and reuse mechanisms where extracted image frames are efficiently copied and applied to multiple animation configurations. This copying approach avoids redundant processing and enables rapid generation of different animation variants from the same source material, significantly improving generation efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Manufacturing precision

If traditional video effect methods are used, then effects can be generated, but the quality and definition are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanimation quality and definitionVSAvoidease of animation generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs parameter changes in the animation generation process, where high-resolution image frames are processed with adjustable quality parameters. By modifying parameters such as image resolution, animation frame rate, and rendering quality, the system achieves high-definition animation output while maintaining ease of generation through automated parameter adjustment based on configuration files.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
