Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for capturing and sharing photos from videos in shooting scenarios are inefficient and do not enhance user experience.

Innovation Solution

A human-machine interaction method that allows users to extract and share photos from videos by displaying an interface with an association region and operation region, enabling seamless sharing of associated photos and videos with a target terminal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually process and share photos extracted from videos using existing methods, then photo sharing is possible, but the operation complexity increases and sharing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesharing efficiencyVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the video player interface with the photo sharing interface into a single unified interface. When a video is playing, extracted photos are displayed in an association region alongside the video, and the share control is integrated into the same interface, eliminating the need to switch between different applications or screens for sharing photos from videos.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The share control is designed to handle multiple functions: it can share both the currently playing video and the extracted photos associated with the video. This multi-functional control reduces the need for separate sharing mechanisms for different content types, simplifying the overall operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of time

If users switch between video player and gallery application to share photos, then photo sharing can be achieved, but the time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime consumptionVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically extracting photos from the video and displaying them in the association region before the user initiates sharing. This pre-processing and pre-display of content eliminates the need for users to manually navigate to gallery applications to select photos, saving time and improving convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The unified interface acts as an intermediary between the video player and the sharing functionality. Instead of requiring users to switch between applications, the interface mediates by integrating both video playback and photo sharing capabilities in one place, with the share control serving as the mediator for initiating sharing operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If existing methods are used for photo extraction and sharing, then basic functionality is provided, but user experience is not enhanced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidcontent selection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds a new dimension to the video playback interface by incorporating an association region that displays extracted photos alongside the video. This spatial arrangement allows users to view and select photos in the same interface where the video is playing, creating a multi-dimensional content presentation that enhances user experience and selection efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

Embodiments of this application provide a human-machine interaction method and apparatus, and an electronic device. In the method, a first interface is displayed in a gallery application in response to a first operation of a user on a thumbnail that is of a video and that is displayed in a first album or a photo tab. A picture of the video is displayed in a display region of the first interface. The first interface further includes an association region and an operation region. The association region includes an identifier of the video and an identifier of at least one photo associated with the video. The at least one photo is generated based on the video. The operation region includes a share control. The video is shared with a target terminal in response to the user operating the share control. According to embodiments of this application, a video can be shared in a scenario in which an associated photo is generated based on the video.
