Solution Overview

Problem

Current digital media systems lack the ability to seamlessly embed and play audio and video content within static digital media such as photos and web pages without requiring separate screens or applications, limiting the dynamic interaction and sharing of multimedia content across various devices and platforms.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented system and method that uses data frame packets to embed audio and video into static digital content, allowing users to create and share multimedia-rich content, such as photos and web pages, that can be interacted with directly on mobile, tablet, and desktop devices, enabling embedded voice comments and text captions to be played or viewed without additional software or processes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If audio and video content are embedded into static digital media, then dynamic interaction and multimedia sharing are improved, but device complexity and software requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemultimedia interaction capabilityVSAvoidsoftware application requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines audio, video, and static digital media into a single integrated data structure (data frame packet). The audio and video elements are embedded within the same data container as the static media, allowing them to be transmitted, stored, and displayed together as one unified object rather than requiring separate software applications for each media type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The data frame packet structure is designed to handle multiple media types (static images, audio, video) within a single universal format. This multi-functional data structure can be processed by a single software application that can display and interact with all media types without requiring separate specialized applications for each format.

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

2Ease of operation

If multimedia content is embedded in static pages, then separate screen navigation is eliminated, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser navigation simplicityVSAvoiddata assembly process
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments multimedia content into discrete data frame packets, where each packet contains a static media element and its associated audio and video elements. This segmentation allows the system to process and transmit each media unit independently while maintaining the ability to present them together on a single screen without complex navigation between separate files or applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The data frame packet acts as an intermediary structure that bridges static digital media and dynamic multimedia elements. By using this standardized data container as a mediator, the system can assemble complex multimedia content into a format that is simple for users to interact with on a single screen, while the complexity of data assembly is handled at the packet construction level rather than during user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Disclosed is computer implemented digital media systems and methods, including software application tools and related methods that employ a data frame packet process or other software application or process to enable a user to embed, assemble and/or associate one or more digital elements (e.g., audio, video, or text), individually or collectively, with or within a digital element (e.g., an image), using a computer system such as a mobile, tablet or desktop device. For example, the disclosed photo application system and method empower users to automatically create a chronological timeline display of the user's photos uploaded into the system, to add text captions, voice, audio narration, and/or video clips that will play with a chronological slideshow. The disclosure provides a social networking application that allows users to uniquely create and share rich digital media content through applications, email, SMS/text, and transmission through interfaces with external applications.
