Inter-Terminal Multimedia Editing for Social Networks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current social network service (SNS) applications are cumbersome for users to edit and publish multimedia information, such as audio and video, as they require manual transfer between devices, contradicting the goal of convenient information sharing.
Innovation Solution
A method and terminal system that allows inter-terminal interactions for editing and publishing multimedia information, where a command terminal searches and communicates with an execution terminal to record and transmit multimedia content directly into the SNS application, simplifying the editing process and enhancing user convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional manual transfer method is used to import multimedia information from mobile phone to PC terminal, then the multimedia information can be included in SNS application content, but the editing process becomes too cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functions of multiple terminals (mobile phone's recording capability and PC terminal's SNS application) into a unified editing workflow. The mobile phone terminal and PC terminal are combined to work together, where the mobile phone captures multimedia information and the PC terminal processes and publishes it through the SNS application, eliminating the need for manual transfer and making the process as convenient as native PC operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the mobile phone terminal and PC terminal. The server receives multimedia information from the mobile phone, processes it, and delivers it to the PC terminal for insertion into the SNS application. This intermediary mechanism automates the data transfer process, replacing manual file transfer operations with automated network-based transmission.
2Quantity of substance
If traditional method of connecting mobile phone to PC terminal is used, then multimedia information can be transferred, but the process cannot meet users' actual need for convenient information editing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by having the mobile phone terminal send multimedia information to the server in advance, before the user needs to publish it on the SNS application. The server pre-processes and stores the information, so when the user wants to publish, the data is already prepared and ready for quick insertion, eliminating the time-consuming manual transfer and processing steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical connection method (physical cable connection between mobile phone and PC) with an electronic/network-based system. Multimedia information is transmitted through network protocols via the server, substituting the physical mechanical transfer process with automated digital transmission, which significantly reduces transfer time and eliminates manual intervention.
3Ease of manufacture
If PC terminal is used for editing weblogs, then text and image editing can be performed, but typing long paragraphs or articles is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional workflow by having the mobile phone (with fast capture capabilities) record the multimedia information first, then transfer it to the PC for publishing. Instead of creating content on the PC and then transferring it, the system captures content on the mobile device and brings it to the PC, leveraging the strengths of each device to improve overall productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of information input method from text typing to multimedia recording. By allowing users to record audio, video, or take photos on their mobile phones and import these multimedia files directly into the SNS application, the system transforms the slow process of typing into the fast process of multimedia capture and import, significantly increasing publishing speed.
