Media File Management Using Music Beat Points
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in locating specific folders among numerous media files on portable devices, as conventional thumbnail representations do not provide a complete picture, making it hard to navigate through large collections of images and videos.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for media file management that analyzes music files to detect beat points, generating media data with effects and transitions based on these points, which are used to organize and present media files, including images, videos, and texts, thereby facilitating navigation and classification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional thumbnail representations are used to display folders, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but the loss of information increases because thumbnails cannot show the complete picture of the folder
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the folder representation into multiple visual elements: thumbnails showing individual media files, folder metadata (count, date, type), and contextual information. This segmentation allows users to see both individual items and aggregate folder information simultaneously, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds another dimension of information display by showing folder metadata and statistical information alongside or instead of traditional thumbnails. This dimensional expansion allows the interface to convey comprehensive folder contents information without increasing the visual complexity of individual display elements.
2Quantity of substance
If a large amount of folders are stored in the device, then the quantity of media files is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring specific folders increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs color-coding to categorize and differentiate folders based on their contents, types, or metadata. This visual encoding system allows users to quickly identify and locate specific folders among large quantities by color rather than having to read through text labels or examine individual thumbnails, reducing the difficulty of detection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary organization and tagging of folders based on their contents, automatically generating metadata, categories, and visual identifiers. This preliminary action of organizing information before user interaction enables rapid location and retrieval of specific folders without requiring users to manually search through large quantities of unorganized content.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods and systems for media file management are provided. A music file is provided. The music file is analyzed to obtain a frequency spectrum corresponding to the music file, and at least one beat point on the time line is detected for the music file based on the frequency spectrum. Media data is generated for a plurality of media files in the electronic device based on the music file and a theme defining effects or transitions between the media files, wherein the sequence of the respective effects or transitions, and the corresponding media files which are selected for the respective effects or transitions are determined according to the at least one beat point of the music file.
