Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video editing techniques do not effectively synchronize visual effects with audio data, lacking a mechanism to enhance user experience through audio-reactive video effects.

Innovation Solution

A video effect synchronization system that applies audio-reactive video effects to body joints in a video clip by analyzing music characteristics, such as beat and frequency information, to control the animation of animated objects based on the audio, using a computing device and server communication to synchronize the effects in real-time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional video editing techniques are used, then video effects can be applied, but the visual effects are not synchronized with audio data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesynchronization accuracyVSAvoidaudio-reactive capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic video effects that automatically adapt to audio characteristics in real-time. The system analyzes audio data (beat, frequency, amplitude) and dynamically adjusts video effect parameters such as animation speed, intensity, and timing without requiring manual intervention, thus achieving both synchronization accuracy and audio-reactive capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs feedback mechanisms where audio analysis results are continuously fed back to control video effect parameters. The audio processing module extracts features like beat and frequency information, which then feedback to the video effect rendering module to adjust the visual effects in real-time, ensuring synchronization between audio and visual elements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If audio analysis is performed to control video effects, then user experience is enhanced, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the video editing process into distinct functional modules: audio data processing module, feature extraction module, and video effect rendering module. Each module handles a specific task (audio analysis, feature extraction, effect application), which simplifies the overall processing complexity while enabling sophisticated audio-reactive effects that enhance user experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal video effect synchronization system that can handle multiple audio characteristics (beat, frequency, amplitude) and apply various video effects through a single integrated framework. This multi-functional approach avoids the need for separate processing systems for different effect types, reducing overall processing complexity while providing diverse audio-reactive capabilities

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

AI summary

ANIMATION EFFECT ATTACHMENT BASED ON AUDIO CHARACTERISTICS Systems and methods for rendering a video effect to a display are described. More specifically, video data and audio data are obtained. The video data is analyzed to determine one or more attachment points of a target object that appears in the video data. The audio data is analyzed to determine audio characteristics. A video effect associated with an animation to be added to the one or more attachment points is determined based on the audio characteristics. A rendered video is generated by applying the video effect to the video data.
