Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video production methods using material templates lack flexibility as they restrict the adjustment of playback form and effects, and the duration of the material templates cannot be delayed, leading to a simplistic video editing process.

Innovation Solution

A video production method and device that displays material cards in a video production interface, allowing material elements to be edited and added, with edition authority, and supports video playback based on these cards, enabling adjustments such as time, level, and effect changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If material templates are used for video production, then video production efficiency is improved, but video editing flexibility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo production efficiencyVSAvoidvideo editing flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The material template is segmented into multiple independently editable material elements (video, audio, image, text, etc.), allowing producers to edit specific elements without affecting the entire template structure. This enables flexible customization while maintaining template efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic editing capabilities where material elements can be added, removed, replaced, and modified during video production. The playback form and duration can be adjusted dynamically, transforming the static template into a flexible editing system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If material templates with pre-designed playback formats are used, then video production simplicity is improved, but editing capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo production simplicityVSAvoidediting capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The material template serves multiple functions: it provides pre-designed playback formats for simple production, while simultaneously enabling detailed editing of individual material elements. The template structure supports both quick application and granular customization.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a material element management layer between the template structure and the final video output. This intermediary layer allows producers to selectively edit material elements while preserving the overall template design, bridging simplicity and editing capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If material template playback duration is fixed, then video production consistency is improved, but time adjustment flexibility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo production consistencyVSAvoidtime adjustment flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different quality attributes to different parts of the template. The overall template structure maintains consistent playback duration for stability, while individual material elements can have their durations locally adjusted to meet specific timing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
