Solution Overview

Problem

Existing music videos with lyrics lack engaging visual effects, as lyrics are simply superimposed over the background without correlation, leading to a poor user experience due to basic entry and exit effects and monotonous presentation.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for displaying lyric effects by obtaining and staggering lyrics in multiple colors, superimposing them on image data, and playing audio data synchronously, enhancing visual impact and user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If lyrics are simply superimposed over the video background, then the implementation is simple, but the visual effect is monotonous and user experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidvisual effect quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the lyric text into multiple color channels (e.g., red, green, blue components) and processes each channel independently with different stagger amounts. This segmentation allows the system to create complex visual effects from simple superposition by treating different color components as separate elements that can be manipulated differently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different stagger amounts to different color channels of the same lyric text. Each color channel (red, green, blue) can have its own local stagger parameter, creating varied visual effects for different parts of the lyric display while maintaining overall coherence. This local differentiation transforms uniform superposition into rich visual expression.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Device complexity

If lyrics have basic entry and exit effects only, then the processing is simple, but the presentation is monotonous and user experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing complexityVSAvoidpresentation variety
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic stagger effects where the lyric text continuously moves back and forth in a sinusoidal or oscillating pattern. This periodic motion creates dynamic entry and exit effects that repeat cyclically, transforming static or single-action lyric display into continuously evolving visual presentations that maintain user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms static lyric display into dynamic presentation by applying time-varying stagger effects. The lyric text positions change continuously over time through animated stagger patterns, creating living, moving visual elements rather than fixed text overlays. This dynamic behavior enables diverse entry and exit effects without requiring complex separate processing for each effect type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of manufacture

If lyrics are completely separated from the background, then the overlay is simple, but the correlation with background is lost and user experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoverlay simplicityVSAvoidlyric-background integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the lyric text with the video background through superposition of multiple color channels with different stagger amounts. The combined effect of red, green, and blue channels creates a unified lyric display that visually integrates with the background while maintaining text readability. This merging approach preserves both the simplicity of overlay and the correlation with background.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite visual structure by combining multiple color channel layers, each with its own stagger characteristics. This composite approach allows the lyric display to have both the simplicity of individual layer overlays and the richness of integrated multi-layer composition, achieving visual correlation with the background through the interaction of different color components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
