Gallery Thumbnail Linking for Auto-Generated Video Images
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile phone camera functions do not adequately satisfy user requirements for interestingness in video recording and viewing experiences.
Innovation Solution
A video processing method that enables a 'one record for multiple gains' function, automatically generating images associated with recorded videos, and displaying them alongside thumbnails in a gallery application, allowing seamless viewing and interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple images are displayed on the gallery interface, then the user can view both video and image thumbnails, but the display interface becomes cluttered and difficult to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The gallery interface is segmented into different display modes: a simplified view showing only video thumbnails for easy navigation, and a detailed view showing both video and image thumbnails when a video is selected. This segmentation allows the interface to present information in appropriate quantities based on user needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface transitions from a two-dimensional grid of all thumbnails to a hierarchical structure where videos and images are organized in separate dimensions. Video thumbnails are displayed prominently, with associated images accessible through expansion or separate viewing, adding a layer of organizational dimensionality.
2Loss of information
If the gallery displays all recorded content, then users can access both videos and images, but it becomes difficult to distinguish and access video-associated images
Solution Approach 1:
Visual indicators such as badges, icons, or highlighted borders are introduced as intermediaries to mark images that are associated with videos. These indicators serve as mediators that connect the image to its parent video without requiring users to manually trace relationships, making the association immediately detectable.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual process of identifying video-associated images through file naming conventions or folder structures is replaced with an automated visual indication system. The system automatically detects and displays association relationships through graphical interfaces, substituting mechanical file organization with intelligent visual cues.
3Loss of information
If the interface displays detailed information about videos and images, then users can make informed decisions, but the interface becomes complex and less user-friendly
Solution Approach 1:
The interface employs dynamic information display where the level of detail shown adapts based on user interaction. Initially, only essential video information is displayed to maintain simplicity. When users select or hover over video thumbnails, additional information such as associated images, duration, and metadata dynamically appears, providing comprehensive information only when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
Different parts of the interface have different levels of information density. The main gallery view maintains high simplicity with minimal information display, while specific areas such as video detail views or expanded selections provide comprehensive information. This local differentiation of information quality allows the interface to be both simple and informative.

AI summary
A video processing method, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The video processing method includes: displaying a first interface of a camera application, where the first interface of the camera application includes a first control; in response to a first operation on the first control, starting to record a first video; displaying a first interface of a gallery application after the recording of the first video is completed, where the first interface of the gallery application includes: a first thumbnail corresponding to the first video; and displaying a second interface of the gallery application in response to a third operation on the first thumbnail, where the second interface of the gallery application includes: the first thumbnail and a third thumbnail of a second image, and the second image is an image automatically acquired from the first video.
