Real-Time Media Frame Effect Application and Recording Unit Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices lack the capability to apply effects such as changing resolution, format, or skipping frames during media recording, limiting user control over multimedia content in real-time.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a recording unit that detects events to switch between different recording units and apply selected effects on past and future media frames, allowing for dynamic changes in resolution, format, or skipping frames while recording.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If effects are applied after recording is completed using external editing apparatus, then media content can be customized, but real-time control during recording is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by preparing and storing multiple media frames in a buffer before final recording. This allows the system to apply effects to past frames and switch between recording units in real-time without waiting for recording completion, thus achieving real-time adaptability while managing complexity through pre-buffering
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by enabling dynamic switching between different recording units (e.g., different cameras or sensors) and dynamically applying different effects to different frames during the recording process. This allows the system to adapt recording parameters in real-time based on captured events, resolving the contradiction between real-time control and system complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple recording units are switched during recording, then media content variety is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a unified control mechanism that manages multiple recording units through a single interface. The controller can switch between different recording units (cameras, sensors) and apply various effects through the same system architecture, enhancing versatility while keeping the control structure manageable and not excessively complex
3Ease of operation
If effects are applied to past and future media frames, then user control over multimedia content is enhanced, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-buffering multiple media frames before final recording. This allows the system to apply effects to both past and future frames without significant time delay, as the frames are already available in the buffer. The pre-buffering strategy reduces processing time by avoiding real-time capture delays while still enabling comprehensive user control over multimedia content

AI summary
A method for producing a media file in an electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting an event during recording of media frames, determining at least one effect to be applied on the media frames, applying the determined effect on at least one of at least one first media frame from a first set of media frames and at least one second media frame from a second set of media frames, and generating a media file comprising the first and second sets of the media frames.
