Solution Overview

Problem

The current interaction mode for effect selection in media content acquisition is cumbersome and results in a poor user experience due to its simplicity.

Innovation Solution

A media content acquisition method and apparatus that displays an effect presentation bar in an inactivated state, which can be switched to an activated state upon user trigger, allowing dynamic selection of target effects for enhanced interaction and operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional effect selection interface is used, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates due to complicated operations and simple interaction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffect selection operationVSAvoidinterface structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the effect selection function directly into the media content acquisition interface by integrating the effect presentation bar into the acquisition page. This allows users to select effects without navigating to a separate effects page, combining multiple functions (media acquisition + effect selection) into one unified interface, thereby improving ease of operation without significantly increasing perceived device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The effect presentation bar implements dynamic state switching between inactivated and activated states. In the inactivated state, it maintains a compact preset layout that does not obstruct the media acquisition interface. When users trigger effect selection, it switches to an activated state displaying multiple effect contents in a preset target layout. This dynamic behavior allows the interface to adapt its complexity based on user needs, improving ease of operation while maintaining simplicity when effects are not being selected

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If effect presentation bar is always visible, then ease of operation improves, but area of display area deteriorates due to occupation of screen space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffect selection accessibilityVSAvoiddisplay area
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The effect presentation bar dynamically changes its visibility and layout state based on user interaction. In the inactivated state, it occupies minimal screen space with a compact preset layout. Upon user trigger, it expands to an activated state displaying multiple effect contents. This dynamic approach ensures the bar is accessible when needed while minimizing its occupation of display area during normal media acquisition operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The effect presentation bar is segmented into different display states (inactivated and activated) with different layout configurations. The inactivated state uses a compact preset layout that occupies minimal space, while the activated state expands to show multiple effect contents. This segmentation allows the interface to optimize display area usage based on the current operational context

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure are a media content acquisition method and apparatus, and a device, a readable storage medium and a product. The method comprises: displaying a media content acquisition page in response to a media content acquisition operation, wherein a preset display area of the media content acquisition page includes an effect presentation bar in an inactivated state, the effect presentation bar including at least one effect content displayed in a preset target layout; switching the effect presentation bar from the inactivated state to an activated state in response to a preset trigger operation by a user on the effect presentation bar; determining a target effect currently selected by the user; and performing the media content acquisition operation based on the target effect.
