Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video applications lack interactive effects that link with user bodies, resulting in poor quality and limited content richness, as current effects do not integrate seamlessly with video content.

Innovation Solution

An effect processing method and apparatus that adjusts the display position of multiple effect areas based on a preset form, determines a background image, and displays the effect object within it, enhancing interaction and richness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional effect props are added to video applications, then the content richness is improved, but the interaction with video content remains poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent richnessVSAvoidinteraction quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making different parts of the effect object have different properties. Specifically, the effect object is divided into multiple effect areas with different transparency values, where some areas are more transparent than others. This allows certain regions to interact more subtly with the background video content while other regions maintain stronger visual presence, thereby improving both content richness and interaction quality simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If effects are added without linking to user body, then the application functionality is improved, but the integration with video content deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffect functionalityVSAvoidintegration quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a new dimension of transparency control to achieve better integration. By adding the transparency dimension to effect areas, the effects can now blend seamlessly with the background video content while maintaining their functional properties. This dimensional addition allows effects to be both functionally rich and visually integrated, resolving the contradiction between effect functionality and integration quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple effect areas are created, then the effect form flexibility is improved, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffect form flexibilityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the effect object into multiple effect areas, each with independent transparency properties. This segmentation allows for greater effect form flexibility as each area can be controlled independently. The complexity increase is managed by implementing systematic processing methods that handle each segment efficiently, balancing the trade-off between flexibility and complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a special effect processing method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method comprises: acquiring an original image to be processed in response to a special effect triggering operation; performing special effect processing on an area to be processed of a preset image object to give a special effect area in the condition that the preset image object is present in the original image; adjusting an area display position of at least one special effect area on the basis of a preset special effect form in the condition that two or more special effect areas are present, so as to give a special effect object in a special effect form; and determining a background image corresponding to the special effect object, and displaying the special effect object in the background image to give a special effect image.
