Solution Overview

Problem

Media content creators face increased workload and reduced efficiency due to the need to create the same content in multiple formats for different social media platforms, which supports various modalities such as videos, presentations, and images.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allow for the conversion of main modality media content into target sub-modality media content within a terminal device, using a modality conversion algorithm, enabling creators to convert content without manual intervention, thereby reducing workload and improving efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a media content creator creates the same content multiple times for different media modalities, then the content can be published on various social media platforms, but the workload increases and creation efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent format adaptabilityVSAvoidcontent creation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs modality conversion automatically after content creation, converting the created content from one modality to multiple other modalities. This preliminary action of automatic conversion eliminates the need for manual recreation, resolving the contradiction between content adaptability and creation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates copies of the content in different modalities through automatic conversion. Instead of manually creating separate versions, the system generates modalities such as images, videos, and audio by converting the source content, thereby maintaining versatility while improving productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Manufacturing precision

If a media content creator manually creates content for each media modality, then the content quality can be controlled, but the time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent quality controlVSAvoidcontent creation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic modality conversion as a preliminary action after content creation, generating multiple format versions without requiring manual intervention. This maintains quality control through automated processes while significantly reducing the time required for content preparation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides self-service through automatic modality conversion, where the created content automatically generates its own conversions to other modalities. This eliminates the need for manual recreation while maintaining quality standards, resolving the time quality contradiction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A media content creation method includes: displaying, by a terminal device, a main modality editing interface; generating, by the terminal device, main modality media content in response to an editing operation performed on the main modality editing interface; converting, by the terminal device, the main modality media content to target sub-modality media content in response to a modality conversion operation; and displaying, by the terminal device, the generated main modality media content and the target sub-modality media content.
