Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video management systems struggle to effectively manage video shooting for multiple sections in a scenario, particularly in scenarios involving multiple cuts, angles, and inserts, which complicates the editing process.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device and method that facilitate video shooting management by allowing users to set groups of cuts, manage common video within these groups, and provide comprehensive information support from scenario planning to pre-editing, including long take shooting and cut-specific settings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If video shooting is managed section by section without grouping, then each cut can be individually managed, but the overall management complexity increases when handling multiple sections in a scenario

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo shooting managementVSAvoidscenario with multiple cuts
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the video shooting management into groups of cuts that can be managed together. By dividing the scenario into multiple groups where each group contains related cuts, the system allows users to manage video shooting more efficiently without being overwhelmed by the complexity of handling all cuts individually across multiple sections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If detailed cut-specific settings are provided for each section, then shooting accuracy is improved, but the workflow becomes more complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo shooting accuracyVSAvoidworkflow time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the management of multiple cuts into groups, allowing users to set common video shooting parameters for all cuts within a group simultaneously. This combining approach maintains shooting accuracy for each cut while significantly reducing the time and complexity of configuring individual cut-specific settings, as users only need to define the group parameters once rather than repeatedly for each cut.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Duration of action of moving object

If long take shooting is implemented across multiple cuts, then continuous video capture is achieved, but the management and organization of footage becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontinuous video captureVSAvoidfootage management
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the continuous video capture into organized groups of cuts, where each group represents a logical unit of long take shooting. This segmentation allows the system to manage and organize extensive footage more effectively by categorizing it into meaningful groups rather than treating it as a single undifferentiated mass, thereby reducing management complexity while maintaining continuous capture capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
