Solution Overview

Problem

Current interactive experiences in the audio and video field are limited, lacking user engagement due to the inability to interact with objects within multimedia files during playback.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method and apparatus that acquires and outputs target data to continuously present frames of images within a target period, allowing for input operations to change the output effect of a target object without affecting the continuous presentation of images, enabling interactive operations on objects within the data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If interactive operations are enabled on objects within multimedia files during playback, then user engagement is enhanced, but the continuous presentation of images may be disrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidcontinuous presentation of images
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the multimedia file into a base stream (continuous image presentation) and an interactive stream (object-specific data). The base stream maintains continuous playback while the interactive stream provides object data that can be modified without disrupting the base stream's continuous presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that separates the interactive object manipulation from the continuous image presentation. The system processes interactive operations on object data independently while maintaining the continuous flow of base stream data, allowing both functions to coexist without mutual disruption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If interactive operations are allowed during playback, then user engagement improves, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive operationsVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the processing into separate streams: a base stream for continuous playback and an interactive stream for object operations. This segmentation allows the system to handle interactive operations independently without increasing the complexity of the continuous playback processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by only processing interactive operations when needed (when user input occurs) rather than continuously processing all possible interactions. This reduces processing complexity by activating interactive processing only on demand rather than maintaining constant high-complexity processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Information processing method, information processing apparatus, and electronic device are provided. The information processing method includes: acquiring target data; outputting the target data in response to a play instruction, the target data being configured to continuously present a plurality of frames of images within a target period; acquiring an input operation before an end of the target period; and changing an output effect of a target object based on a response of the target object to the input operation if a target image corresponding to the input operation includes the target object. The output effect changed by the response of the target object to the input operation does not affect the output effect of the target object in a continuous presentation of the plurality of frames of images within the target period.
