Solution Overview

Problem

Existing media content posting solutions lack flexibility and personalization, limiting the creative expression and interaction between users.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allow users to capture a target image including a cover image and recorded video before and after a trigger moment, determine corresponding audio, and generate and post a media content based on user-defined settings and editing options, enhancing creative freedom and user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional media content posting solutions are used, then the posting process is simple, but the flexibility and personalization are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility and personalizationVSAvoidposting process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The media content is segmented into multiple components including cover image, recorded video before trigger moment, recorded video after trigger moment, and audio. This segmentation allows users to selectively capture and edit different parts of the media content, providing flexibility and personalization while maintaining a manageable posting process through automated assembly of these segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If media content with cover image and recorded video before and after trigger moment is captured, then the creative expression is enhanced, but the data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecreative expressionVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically capturing the cover image, recording video before the trigger moment, and recording video after the trigger moment. This preliminary capture of all necessary media segments eliminates the need for manual assembly during posting, reducing data processing complexity while enabling rich creative expression through the captured content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges multiple media segments (cover image, before-trigger video, after-trigger video, and audio) into a unified media content structure. This combining approach allows comprehensive creative expression while simplifying the overall posting process by handling all segments as an integrated unit rather than separate processing tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If audio is determined and integrated with media content, then the sensory experience is enhanced, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensory experienceVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically determining and integrating audio with the media content without requiring manual user intervention. The audio is automatically matched and synchronized with the corresponding video segments, enhancing the sensory experience while minimizing additional processing time through automated rather than manual operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Disclosed in embodiments of the disclosure are a method and apparatus for posting a media content, a device and a storage medium, which relate to the technical field of computers. The method includes: obtaining, in response to a shooting operation for a media content obtaining interface, a target image shot in a target shooting mode, where the target image includes a cover image and a recorded video between a first moment before a trigger moment of the shooting operation and a second moment after the trigger moment; determining target audio corresponding to the target image; generating a target media content according to the target image and the target audio; and posting, in response to a posting operation of the target media content, the target media content as a media work in an application.
