Solution Overview

Problem

Current image editing applications are limited to simple functions and fail to meet the diverse needs of users, lacking the ability to record and share image editing processes effectively.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for generating a recorded video of the image editing process by obtaining and sequencing editing process images, allowing users to review and share their editing steps, which includes receiving confirmation, undo, and redo operations to manage the editing process images.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If image editing applications provide only basic editing functions, then the application structure remains simple, but the application cannot meet the diversified needs of users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional versatilityVSAvoidapplication complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The image editing application is transformed into a multi-functional platform that not only performs basic image editing operations but also automatically generates recorded videos of the editing process. The system integrates multiple functions including image filtering, sticker addition, and video recording/exporting within a single application, allowing users to both edit images and share their editing processes through generated videos.

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

2Loss of information

If the application records all editing process images, then the complete editing process can be reviewed, but the processing time and memory consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting process information completenessVSAvoidvideo generation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential editing process images that represent key moments in the editing workflow, rather than recording every single intermediate state. This selective extraction approach captures the core editing process while significantly reducing the number of images that need to be processed and stored, thereby decreasing video generation time and memory consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Manufacturing precision

If multiple editing operations are executed sequentially, then comprehensive image processing is achieved, but the editing process becomes complex and difficult to manage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting operation precisionVSAvoidediting process manageability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically capturing and storing each editing operation as it occurs during the user's workflow. The editing process images are recorded in real-time as users apply filters, add stickers, or perform other operations, eliminating the need for users to manually track or manage each editing step. This automatic preliminary capture simplifies the user experience while maintaining comprehensive recording of all editing operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
