Digital Media Message Generation with Segmented Content Modules
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic device messaging applications lack the ability to combine diverse digital content segments, such as video and images, into an integrated message and provide insufficient editing capabilities, limiting their functionality for creating rich digital media messages.
Innovation Solution
The system allows users to generate digital media messages by combining various digital content segments like audio, video, and images, providing editing features and guiding text scripts during message creation, enabling the replacement of video segments with images to reduce file size and improve network efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users combine multiple digital content segments (video, images, audio) into integrated messages, then message richness and communication effectiveness are improved, but file size and network load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments digital content into distinct modules (video segments, image segments, audio segments, text segments) that can be independently selected and combined. This allows users to create rich messages by choosing only necessary content types rather than transmitting complete video files, thereby reducing overall file size while maintaining message richness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of content representation by converting video content into segmented formats with associated metadata and text descriptions. This parameter transformation enables the same informational content to be transmitted in a more compact form, reducing file size while preserving communicative value.
2Productivity
If users replace video segments with images to reduce file size, then network efficiency is improved, but message expressiveness may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces text scripts and metadata as intermediary elements that bridge the gap between image segments and original video content. These intermediaries carry descriptive information about the replaced video segments, preserving message expressiveness through textual representation while allowing the use of compact image formats for transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of transmitting complete video files, the system creates simplified copies in the form of key frames or representative images accompanied by text descriptions. This copying approach captures the essential visual information while dramatically reducing file size, maintaining network efficiency without complete loss of expressiveness.
3Ease of operation
If existing messaging applications transmit isolated content segments as attachments, then file transmission simplicity is maintained, but content integration and user experience are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges previously separate content types (video, images, audio, text) into a unified message structure where all segments are integrated and synchronized. This combining approach maintains ease of operation by providing a single transmission interface while dramatically improving content integration capabilities, allowing recipients to experience all media types together as a cohesive message.

AI summary
A method of generating a digital media message includes receiving a script of the digital media message, receiving a digital video segment based on the script, determining text of the digital media message corresponding to at least a portion of the video segment, and providing the text via a display of an electronic device. The method also includes providing a plurality of images, each indicative of a respective digital content segment, and receiving a first input indicating selection of a first digital content segment. The method further includes associating first digital content segment with either a first portion or a second portion of the video segment, and associating the various portions and the first digital content segment with a play sequence of the digital media message such that the first digital content segment will be presented simultaneously with at least part of the first portion when the digital media message is played.
