Solution Overview

Problem

Existing music video technologies provide a poor user experience due to simple superposition of lyrics and videos, basic entry and exit effects of lyrics, and lack of engaging visual interactions.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for displaying lyric effects that involve obtaining image and music data, determining a target time point, adding animation effects to target images, displaying target lyrics on these images, and playing corresponding audio data, thereby enhancing user engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If lyrics are simply superimposed on video, then the display is straightforward and easy to implement, but the user experience is poor and engaging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of implementationVSAvoiduser experience quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transforming static lyric superposition into dynamic interactions. Lyrics are made to respond to audio rhythm through animation effects (scaling, rotation, color changes), and users can interact with lyrics through touch gestures. This dynamic behavior resolves the contradiction by maintaining implementation feasibility while dramatically improving user experience quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes multiple parameters of the lyric display system: animation effects with adjustable intensity, color variations, position adjustments, and interaction sensitivity. These parameter changes allow the system to maintain ease of implementation through standardized effect libraries while achieving rich, engaging user experiences through configurable parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If basic entry and exit effects are used for lyrics, then the implementation is simple, but the visual interaction is lacking and user engagement is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomplexity of effect implementationVSAvoidvisual interaction quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the lyric effect system into independent animation effect modules (entry effects, exit effects, highlight effects, interaction effects). Each module can be independently designed, implemented, and configured. This segmentation allows complex visual interactions to be built from simple, reusable components, resolving the contradiction between implementation simplicity and visual interaction quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal effect application framework that can handle multiple types of visual interactions through a common architecture. The same framework supports various animation effects, user interactions, and audio synchronizations, making the system versatile. This universality allows the system to achieve rich visual interactions without proportionally increasing implementation complexity.

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

3Device complexity

If lyrics are displayed without animation effects, then the display is clean and simple, but the visual appeal and user engagement are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomplexity of display systemVSAvoidvisual appeal
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining animation effect templates and configurations before actual lyric display. Effect parameters such as animation types, durations, intensities, and triggers are prepared in advance. This allows the system to achieve visually appealing animations without complex real-time computation, resolving the contradiction between display simplicity and visual appeal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for displaying lyric effects, an electronic device, and a computer-readable medium. The method includes: obtaining, based on a lyric effect display operation of a user, an image sequence and music data to be displayed, the music data including audio data and lyrics; determining a target time point, playing at least one target image corresponding to the target time point in the image sequence, and determining target lyrics corresponding to the target time point in the lyrics; and adding animation effects on the at least one target image, displaying the target lyrics on the at least one target image, and playing a part of the audio data corresponding to the target lyrics.
