Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cartoon content distribution systems do not allow users to easily capture, share, or edit partial high-definition images of cartoon content, limiting user flexibility and creativity in accessing and modifying digital cartoon content.

Innovation Solution

A content distribution method and system that registers and captures high-definition original images of unit scenes from cartoon content, enabling users to select and distribute partial images, edit lines, and create collections, using a computer system with a register and provider functionality to manage and share these images.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If the entire episode or page of cartoon content is distributed, then the completeness of content is ensured, but the distribution size and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent completenessVSAvoiddistribution time
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The cartoon content is divided into multiple unit scenes, allowing users to select and distribute only specific portions rather than entire episodes or pages. This segmentation enables partial image distribution while maintaining content integrity for selected segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts and distributes only the desired partial images or unit scenes from the complete cartoon content. Users can select specific unit scenes to capture and share, eliminating the need to distribute unnecessary content while preserving the essential selected portions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Manufacturing precision

If high-definition original images are registered for all unit scenes, then the image quality is improved, but the storage space and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

High-definition original images are registered and stored only for specific unit scenes that are likely to be captured or shared, rather than maintaining uniform high definition across all content. This local quality approach optimizes storage by focusing on frequently accessed or important segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-registers high-definition original images for unit scenes during content upload or preparation phase. This preliminary action ensures that when users want to capture partial images, the high-definition versions are already available without requiring real-time processing or conversion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If users can capture and share partial images, then the user flexibility is improved, but the content protection and copyright control become more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser flexibilityVSAvoidcopyright control
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements tracking and recording mechanisms that monitor which unit scenes are captured and shared by users. This feedback loop allows the content management system to maintain records of partial image distributions, enabling copyright tracking and control while still permitting user flexibility in selecting and sharing content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A method and a system for distributing Internet cartoon content, and a recording medium are disclosed. The content distribution method comprises the steps of: registering a high-definition original image for at least one unit scene of all the unit scenes of the cartoon content; and capturing the high-definition original image of the unit scene selected by a user from the cartoon content.
