Effect Behavior Panel for Faster Multimedia Effect Creation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing effect creation processes in multimedia applications are complex and time-consuming due to the need for intricate navigation through hierarchical structures and long click paths, increasing the design complexity for creators.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for effect creation that includes an effect behavior panel with an object select box, an action select box, and a trigger select box to select a trigger for triggering the action, allowing for simplified configuration of object, action, and trigger selections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional hierarchical navigation methods are used for effect creation, then comprehensive control over effect parameters is achieved, but the operation complexity and time required increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The effect creation interface is segmented into distinct functional regions: a first region for selecting effect types and a second region for configuring effect parameters. This segmentation allows users to access different configuration aspects without navigating through deep hierarchical menus, thereby reducing operation complexity and time while maintaining comprehensive control over effect parameters.
2Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive effect parameters are made accessible, then effect customization capability is improved, but interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional vertical hierarchical navigation to a horizontal dimensional layout where effect types and parameters are arranged side-by-side in separate regions. This dimensional change allows comprehensive effect customization capabilities to be accessed within a single screen view, reducing interface complexity while maintaining adaptability and versatility.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for effect creation. A method comprises: presenting an effect behavior panel for an effect in an edit mode; providing at least one command edit region in the effect behavior panel, a command edit region comprising an object select box to select at least one object in the effect, an action select box to select an action to be performed by the at least one object, and a trigger select box to select a trigger for triggering the action; and applying a target action command for a target object into the effect based on receiving, within a command edit region, selections of a target object, a target action to be performed by the target object, and a target trigger, the target action command defining that the target object performs the target action when the target trigger occurs.
