Innovation Solution
A messaging application allows users to generate custom graphical elements by selecting a region of a video and applying visual effects, enabling efficient communication without the need for extensive searching.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users search through multiple pages of pre-defined graphical representations, then they can find suitable graphics for communication, but it leads to inefficiency and resource waste due to lack of automation
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables users to create their own custom graphical elements by recording video clips and applying visual effects, eliminating the need to search through pre-defined graphics. This self-service approach allows users to generate personalized graphics on-demand, significantly reducing search time and improving operational efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-provides a library of visual effects that can be automatically applied to user-recorded video clips. This preliminary preparation of effects allows for rapid customization of graphics without requiring users to manually create each element from scratch, thus reducing time investment while maintaining ease of operation
2Adaptability or versatility
If users manually select and customize graphical elements, then communication expression is enhanced, but device complexity and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a universal video recording and processing framework that handles multiple types of graphical elements through a single interface. By using standard video capture and filtering capabilities already present in mobile devices, the system achieves high adaptability without requiring complex specialized hardware or software components
Solution Approach 2:
The system achieves graphical element customization by applying parameter-based visual effects (such as color filters, brightness adjustments, and standard transformations) to recorded video clips. This approach allows for versatile graphic customization while maintaining system simplicity, as these are standard image processing operations that can be efficiently implemented without complex algorithms
3Measurement precision
If extensive searching is required to find suitable graphics, then selection precision is improved, but productivity in communication sessions decreases
Solution Approach 1:
Users immediately create custom graphics by recording short video clips during communication sessions, eliminating the need to search through extensive libraries. This on-demand creation approach maintains selection precision by allowing users to capture exactly what they want to express, while dramatically improving productivity by reducing interaction time
Solution Approach 2:
The system has visual effects pre-configured and ready to be applied to user-recorded clips. This preliminary preparation allows users to quickly transform their video recordings into customized graphical elements without delays, thus maintaining high selection precision while boosting communication productivity through rapid graphic generation
Data Source
AI summary
Methods and systems are disclosed for generating a custom sticker. In one embodiment, a messaging application implemented on a first device receives a video and input that draws a selection of a region of the video. The messaging application generates a graphical element comprising the region of the video drawn by the input and applies one or more visual effects to the graphical element to create a custom graphic. The custom graphic with the one or more visual effects is sent from the first device to a second device.
