Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional text effect technologies are inflexible, requiring application updates to add new text effects, limiting user experience and design versatility.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for text effect processing that allows for dynamic text effects by transmitting a request for a text effect resource to a server, receiving and processing it to gradually display and disappear text on a terminal's screen with multimedia playback progress, without updating the client application.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If text effects are embedded in fixed application versions, then application stability is maintained, but text effect flexibility and adaptability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetext effect flexibilityVSAvoidapplication update frequency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the text effect system into two independent parts: the client application (which remains stable) and the text effect resources (which can be updated independently on the server). This allows text effects to be flexible and updatable without requiring application updates, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the client application and text effect resources. The server stores and manages text effect resources, allowing the client to dynamically access and apply different text effects without updating the application itself. This mediator enables text effect flexibility while maintaining application stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If new text effects are added through application updates, then text effect functionality is improved, but user experience and design versatility deteriorate due to inflexibility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign versatilityVSAvoidtime for application updates
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-loading and caching text effect resources on the server before they are needed by the client. When a user wants to use a text effect, it is already available on the server and can be quickly retrieved and applied, eliminating the need for time-consuming application updates and immediately enhancing design versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary that stores and manages text effect resources independently from the client application. This allows new text effects to be added, modified, or removed on the server side without requiring application updates, thereby improving design versatility while eliminating time losses associated with updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If text effects are hardcoded in the application, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but text effect manageability and flexibility deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetext effect managementVSAvoidresource distribution system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the server to automatically manage, store, and distribute text effect resources to multiple clients without manual intervention. The system autonomously handles resource updates, version management, and distribution, making text effect management easy while the centralized architecture actually reduces overall system complexity compared to manual client-side management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method and an apparatus for text effect processing, an electronic device, and a computer readable storage medium. The method comprises: sending to a server a request to acquire a text effect resource, the text effect resource being used to implement a display effect of text associated with multimedia; receiving a text effect resource sent by the server; and on the basis of the text effect resource, performing effect processing on text, causing the text to be displayed on a terminal screen following playback progress of the multimedia, and gradually disappear from the terminal screen.
