Media File Segment Selection via Gesture and Text Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for processing media files on mobile terminals require users to listen multiple times and manually record start and end moments, leading to inefficient processing and poor user experience due to the need for additional software that occupies CPU and memory resources.
Innovation Solution
A media file processing method and terminal that includes an input apparatus, display apparatus, and processor to select and confirm segments of media files using gestures, displaying text and time information, allowing for fine adjustments and sharing options, thereby eliminating the need for external processing software and improving efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If additional media file processing software is installed on the mobile terminal, then media file processing capability is improved, but CPU resource occupation and memory resource occupation increase, and processing efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the media file processing capability directly into the mobile terminal's native functionality. The terminal integrates segment selection, time marking, and file processing features into its existing media player, eliminating the need for separate processing software. This consolidation maintains processing capability while reducing resource overhead and improving efficiency by removing the burden of multiple software installations.
2Measurement precision
If the user listens to the media file multiple times to record start and end moments, then processing accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by providing visual time markers and progress indicators during media file playback. The system displays time information and allows users to select segments by visually identifying start and end points on the timeline, rather than requiring multiple listenings to memorize timing. This preliminary visualization of time structure enables accurate segment selection in a single playback pass.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary visual interface between the user and the media file timing information. The playback interface displays time markers, progress bars, and selectable time points that mediate the user's interaction with the audio content. This intermediary representation allows users to accurately identify and select segments without needing to mentally track and remember exact timing information through multiple listenings.
3Measurement precision
If the user manually records start and end moments of favorite segments, then processing precision is improved, but operation complexity increases and ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by allowing the media file itself to provide the timing information needed for segment selection. The playback system automatically generates and displays time markers, progress indicators, and duration information based on the actual playback position. Users can directly interact with these automatically provided time references to select segments, eliminating the need for manual timing recording and reducing operational complexity while maintaining precision.

AI summary
The present invention provides a method, including: displaying text information, where the text information is associated with the media file; receiving a first gesture and displaying time information, where the time information is associated with a part that is selected by using the first gesture and of the text information; and receiving a second gesture and acquiring a segment that is confirmed by using the second gesture and of the media file. By using the displayed text information, the displayed time information, and the acquired segment that is confirmed by using the second gesture and of the media file, a terminal does not need to install other processing software to implement processing of a gesture, which reduces memory occupation and a resource occupied in a CPU inside the mobile terminal, and further reduces a burden of remembering a start time and an end time of favorite music by the user, thereby improving user experience. Further, a graphical user interface for processing a media file provides, in a user-friendly manner, diversified visual gesture buttons for the user, which improves efficiency of a graphical interface in processing a media file by using a user gesture, and user experience.
