Solution Overview

Problem

The process of publishing image-text type media content is cumbersome and time-consuming due to the need to switch between multiple pages for capturing, editing, and publishing, leading to inefficiencies in the authoring process.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allows direct switching from a capture page to a publish page for adding target materials and publishing media content, bypassing the editing page when unnecessary, and includes features for selecting and managing content and background musical materials directly on the publish page.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the user follows the traditional multi-page workflow (capture page → editing page → publishing page), then the media content can be properly edited and published, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepublishing operation simplicityVSAvoidpublication time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the capture page and publishing page functionalities by allowing the publish button on the capture page to directly trigger the publishing interface. This eliminates the need to navigate through the editing page for simple publish operations, combining what were previously separate workflow stages into a more direct path.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the essential publishing functionality from the traditional multi-page workflow. By allowing direct access to the publishing page from the capture page through a dedicated publish button, it separates the core publishing action from the optional editing steps, enabling users to publish directly without completing the full editing sequence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Productivity

If the system requires navigation through multiple pages (capture, editing, publishing), then comprehensive content management is achieved, but the authoring path becomes long and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthoring efficiencyVSAvoidinterface navigation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the capture and publishing functionalities into a more integrated workflow. The publish button on the capture page serves as a direct gateway to the publishing interface, merging what were previously distinct operational phases into a streamlined sequence that reduces navigation steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the publishing workflow into independent access points. Instead of requiring a linear progression through all pages, it creates separate entry points to the publishing functionality, allowing users to access the publish page directly from the capture page when editing is not required, thus segmenting the optional editing step from the mandatory publishing step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If the system provides separate editing and publishing pages, then detailed content customization is possible, but the number of operation steps increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematerial addition operationVSAvoidoperation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the material addition and publishing functionalities and makes them directly accessible from the capture page. By placing a publish button that directly opens the publishing interface with material addition capabilities, it removes the requirement to navigate to a separate editing page just to add materials for publication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent prepares the publishing interface with material addition capabilities in advance, so that when users click the publish button on the capture page, they are immediately presented with the publishing page where they can add materials without having to go through intermediate editing steps. The publishing page is pre-configured to accept material additions directly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method for publishing media content, a device and a storage medium are provided. The method for publishing media content includes: in response to a first triggering operation acting on a first control on a first page, switching from the first page to a second page, wherein the first page is a capture page, and wherein the second page is configured to trigger an addition of a material; in response to a second triggering operation acting on a second control on the second page, displaying at least one material in a selectable state; in response to a material selection operation acting on at least one first material of the at least one material, switching the at least one first material from an unselected state to a selected state; and in response to a media content publishing operation, publishing media content generated based on the at least one first material.
