Effect Tag Display for Faster Visual Effect Search
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users struggle to quickly perceive differences between various effect items in image processing or video production tools, leading to prolonged search times and reduced efficiency in effect production due to the difficulty in locating the desired effect item.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that display effect information by associating effect tags with their action positions in an image, using tags that include both text and graphic representations to visually convey the effect action position and display effect, thereby improving user understanding and search efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If effect items are displayed in the form of common text, then the display is simple and easy to implement, but users cannot quickly perceive differences between different effect items and search time is prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes by displaying effect tags with different background colors corresponding to different effect action positions (e.g., foreground, midground, background). This allows users to quickly perceive differences between effect items through color differentiation, significantly reducing search time while maintaining relatively simple display implementation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from one-dimensional text display to two-dimensional visual display by incorporating graphical icons and color coding into the effect tags. This dimensional enhancement enables users to quickly understand effect action positions and differences visually, reducing search time without excessive complexity increase.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a wide range of effect items are provided, then the versatility of the effect production tool is improved, but it becomes difficult for users to rapidly locate a desired effect item
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different visual characteristics (colors, icons) to effect tags based on their specific effect action positions. Each effect item displays localized visual information corresponding to its function, allowing users to quickly identify and locate desired effects among a wide range of options without compromising versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces effect tags as intermediary elements that mediate between the user and the actual effect items. These tags provide visual previews and position information, serving as a bridge that helps users rapidly locate and understand effect items before applying them, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining a wide range of effects.
3Loss of information
If effect tags are displayed without visual representation of action position, then the display implementation is simple, but users cannot understand the effect action position and display effect
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses color changes in effect tags to represent different effect action positions (foreground, midground, background). This visual encoding transmits position information efficiently without requiring complex display mechanisms, reducing information loss while maintaining relatively simple tag display implementation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds visual dimensionality to effect tags by incorporating graphical icons and color coding that represent spatial position information. This transforms plain text tags into visually informative displays that convey effect action positions and display effects, preventing information loss without excessive complexity increase.

AI summary
Provided in examples of the disclosure are a method and apparatus for displaying effect information, an electronic device and a storage medium. The method includes: determining, in response to a viewing trigger operation for effect items, a plurality of types of effect items corresponding to the viewing trigger operation; and obtaining an effect tag corresponding to each type of effect item, and displaying the effect tag, where a tag display mode of the effect tag is associated with an effect action position of the effect item corresponding to the effect tag in an effect application image. According to the technical solution of the example, the effect of representing the effect action position of the corresponding effect item in the image by materializing an arrangement of the effect tags is implemented. Advantageously, a user can understand the effect action position and an effect display effect of the corresponding effect item in the image in a process of browsing the effect tags, so as to quickly search for the effect item, improve efficiency of effect production, and improve user experience of the effect production.
