Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods are cumbersome for creating and managing layouts of digital content that include multiple types of assets, such as photos, videos, links, and services, making it difficult for users to easily curate and share such content.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for creating a layout of digital assets, involving user selection of a base form, presentation of elements associated with digital assets, and generation of a URL-linked image that represents the layout, allowing for easy inclusion and display of various digital content types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users manually create and manage posts with multiple types of digital content, then content customization and control are improved, but the complexity and time required for creation and management increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments digital content into standardized elements (text, images, videos, links, services) that can be independently selected and combined. Users build complex posts by assembling these discrete elements rather than managing them as a monolithic structure, reducing cognitive load and management complexity while maintaining full customization capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a universal post structure that can accommodate multiple types of digital content (photos, videos, links, services, live streams) within a single standardized framework. This multi-functional template allows users to create diverse content combinations without learning different management systems for each content type.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users manually create and manage posts with multiple types of digital content, then content control is improved, but the time required for creation and management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides pre-configured post templates with predefined structures for different content types. Users can select from ready-made templates (e.g., photo albums, video compilations, service listings) and simply populate them with their specific content, eliminating the need to design structures from scratch and significantly reducing creation time while maintaining full content control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to copy and reuse successful post structures and content arrangements across multiple posts. Once a user creates an effective layout or content combination, they can replicate it for future posts, reducing repetitive manual work while maintaining consistent quality and control over their content presentation.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple types of digital assets are integrated into one post, then content diversity and information richness are improved, but the difficulty of creating and managing the post increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides a comprehensive post into distinct elemental components (text blocks, image galleries, video players, link cards, service widgets). Each element is independently manageable and can be selected from standardized options, allowing users to incorporate diverse content types without facing the overwhelming complexity of managing them as an integrated whole.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a standardized post structure as an intermediary framework that mediates between diverse digital assets and the user interface. This intermediate layer provides uniform handling mechanisms for different content types, simplifying management operations while preserving the ability to include photos, videos, links, services, and other digital assets within a single post.

AI summary
Methods, systems, and media for creating a layout of digital assets are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: presenting a layout of digital assets, wherein the layout of digital assets includes a plurality of elements; receiving a selection of a digital asset from a group of available digital assets to be included in the layout of digital assets; in response to receiving the selection of the digital asset, causing a representation of the digital asset to be presented in the layout of digital assets; causing an image that represents the layout of digital assets to be created, wherein the image is associated with a Uniform Resource Locator (URL); and in response to determining that the URL has been selected, causing the image to be presented.
