Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a messaging system implements multi-video clip capture functionality, then users can create more diverse and creative media content, but the system lacks an efficient way to present and persistently display available augmented reality content items during the capture process
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the augmented reality content presentation into two distinct interfaces: a carousel interface for primary navigation and selection, and an explorer interface for detailed browsing and discovery. This segmentation allows users to efficiently select AR content during video capture while maintaining access to comprehensive AR content libraries, thereby resolving the contradiction between operational simplicity and content versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system persistently stores selected augmented reality content items during the multi-video clip capture process, so that once a user selects an AR content item, it remains available throughout the entire capture session. This preliminary action eliminates the need for repeated selections and ensures continuous access to chosen AR effects, improving ease of operation while maintaining creative flexibility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system presents multiple augmented reality content items during video capture, then user creativity is enhanced, but the interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
By separating AR content presentation into a carousel interface (for essential selection functionality) and an explorer interface (for comprehensive browsing), the system manages interface complexity through functional segmentation. Each interface handles specific tasks, preventing information overload while maintaining access to diverse AR content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an AR content manager as an intermediary component that handles the complex logic of managing multiple AR content items, switching between interfaces, and persisting selections. This mediator abstracts the complexity from the user interface, allowing the presentation of multiple AR content items without directly increasing perceived interface complexity for the user.
3Ease of operation
If the system allows switching between different interfaces for AR content selection, then user experience is improved, but the complexity of managing persistent selections across sessions increases
Solution Approach 1:
The AR content manager is designed as a universal component that handles multiple functions: managing both carousel and explorer interfaces, persisting AR content selections, coordinating interface switching, and maintaining state across the entire multi-video clip capture session. This multi-functional design consolidates complexity into a single management system rather than distributing it across multiple separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements persistent storage of AR content selections with immediate feedback to the user. When a user selects an AR content item in either interface, the selection is stored and confirmed, providing feedback that the choice is preserved. This feedback mechanism simplifies the user experience by making the persistent state management transparent, even though the underlying complexity of managing selections across interface switches remains.

AI summary
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for presenting available augmented reality (AR) content items. The program and method provide for displaying a capture interface in accordance with a camera mode configured to capture multiple video clips; displaying a carousel interface for presenting a first set of AR content items, each being selectable to apply respective AR content to captured video; receiving first user input selecting an explore tab included which is selectable to switch to an explorer interface for presenting a second set of AR content items; switching from the capture interface to the explorer interface; receiving, via the explorer interface, second user input selecting an AR content item from among the second set; and updating, in response to receiving the second user input, the first set of AR content items to include the selected AR content item.
