Innovation Solution
A system and method for creating live multimedia mixing compositions using a dynamic media pairing module with primary and secondary media players, a cue and pass system, and a media screen, allowing for independent play mode operations, real-time customization of audiovisual mixing parameters, and sharing via social media platforms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional audio-video mixers are used for multimedia mixing, then media files can be played and mixed, but the equipment becomes burdensome and complex to handle
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple media players (first media player, second media player) and mixing functions into a single integrated system. The media screen displays multiple media files simultaneously while the system handles mixing operations, eliminating the need for separate external mixers and reducing overall equipment complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs multiple functions within a single platform: playing media files, mixing audio-video content, displaying multiple files simultaneously, and enabling user customization. This multi-functional approach replaces traditional separate equipment (players, mixers, displays) with one unified system that simplifies operation.
2Productivity
If traditional mixers with separate auxiliary equipment are used, then media mixing can be performed, but the set-up time becomes time consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-loads and queues multiple media files in the media screen before mixing operations begin. Users can prepare and organize media files in advance, so when mixing starts, everything is ready to go immediately, eliminating time-consuming setup during actual content creation.
Solution Approach 2:
By integrating the media library, playback functions, and mixing capabilities into one system, the patent eliminates the need to connect and configure separate auxiliary equipment. This unified approach significantly reduces setup time while maintaining full mixing functionality.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional mixers with finite built-in effects are used, then basic media treatment is available, but the types of features that can be explored are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides universal media handling capabilities that work across different file types and formats. The media screen can display and process various media files simultaneously, and the mixing system adapts to different content types, enabling extensive feature exploration without being constrained by predefined mixer limitations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts and customizes mixing parameters based on the specific media files being processed. Rather than offering fixed, finite effects, the system adapts its capabilities to the content, allowing users to explore diverse mixing features and configurations tailored to each project's needs.
4Ease of operation
If external physical mixers are used, then media mixing can be performed, but additional controllers to regulate are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges all control functions into the unified system interface. The media screen and control system are integrated, allowing users to regulate and adjust mixing parameters through a single interface rather than managing multiple separate controllers. This consolidation simplifies operation by reducing the number of devices users must handle and configure.
