Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Editing effects in existing systems is complicated due to the need to adjust overlapping effect elements, which affects user experience.
Innovation Solution
An editing method and apparatus that presents a template image with multiple effect layers, allows for layer identifiers to be displayed in an editing region based on their adding order, and enables adjustments to these layers through trigger operations, simplifying the editing process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If effect elements are arranged in overlapping layers, then the performance and richness of effects are improved, but the complexity of editing effects increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the effect system into multiple independent effect layers, where each layer can be independently selected and edited. The layer management interface divides effects into separate selectable layers with identifiers, allowing users to work on one layer at a time without being overwhelmed by the entire effect structure. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by maintaining rich multi-layered effects while simplifying the editing process through modular, layer-by-layer manipulation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple effect layers are overlapped to enrich effect performance, then the versatility of effects is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Effects are divided into distinct selectable layers with unique identifiers displayed in a layer management interface. Users can select and edit individual layers independently, transforming a complex overlapping structure into manageable discrete units that are easy to operate on separately.
Solution Approach 2:
A layer management interface acts as an intermediary between the user and the complex multi-layer effect structure. This interface displays layer identifiers and provides selection controls, serving as a mediator that simplifies access to and manipulation of the underlying complex effect layers, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining effect versatility.
3Manufacturing precision
If effect elements are adjusted individually through overlapping layers, then the precision of effect editing is improved, but the time required for editing increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting effects into independently selectable layers with identifiers, the system enables precise editing of specific effect elements without requiring adjustment of all overlapping elements. Users can target and modify individual layers efficiently, achieving precise editing control while reducing the time needed compared to adjusting all effects simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The layer management interface creates a simplified representation or copy of the multi-layer effect structure, displaying layer identifiers and selection controls that mirror the actual effect layers. This intermediary representation allows users to efficiently select and edit specific layers without directly manipulating the complex underlying structure, thereby reducing editing time while maintaining precision.
