Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge lies in converting cartoon content with motion cuts into still images for electronic devices that cannot display movement, ensuring that all visual information intended by the cartoonist is conveyed effectively without dynamic capabilities.

Innovation Solution

A cartoon content editing method and apparatus that allows users to select and generate still cuts from motion cuts by inserting scenes during the movement, using a controller and input receiver to display and edit cartoon content, enabling the creation of still images that represent the motion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If cartoon content with motion cuts is converted to still images for electronic devices without motion display capabilities, then accessibility and compatibility are improved, but visual information completeness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecompatibilityVSAvoidvisual information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The motion cut is segmented into multiple still image frames that capture different moments of the movement. By dividing the continuous motion into discrete still frames, the system preserves visual information while adapting to devices that cannot display motion. The controller extracts and displays multiple still images from the motion cut sequence, ensuring comprehensive visual representation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from temporal dimension (motion over time) to spatial dimension (multiple still frames). Instead of displaying motion as a continuous temporal sequence, the system presents multiple still images that capture the spatial progression of movement, allowing devices without motion capability to convey the same visual information through static frames.

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

2Loss of information

If still cuts are generated from motion cuts by inserting scenes during movement, then visual information completeness is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual informationVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The controller pre-processes motion cuts to identify and extract key still frames that represent important moments in the movement sequence. By performing preliminary analysis of the motion data to determine which frames contain critical visual information, the system reduces the complexity of subsequent processing while ensuring complete visual representation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically analyzes motion cut data and autonomously selects appropriate still frames without requiring manual intervention. The controller independently determines which scenes during movement should be captured as still cuts, reducing operational complexity while maintaining visual information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
