Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile terminals face limitations in attaching large video files to messages due to size restrictions imposed by messaging services, which hinder user convenience and the ability to share bigger videos.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal with a controller that divides large videos into slice files, allowing each slice to be attached to a message, thereby overcoming size limitations and enabling the sharing of larger videos.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a large video file is attached to a message, then the video sharing capability is improved, but the messaging service size restriction is violated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo sharing capabilityVSAvoidsize restriction violation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The video file is divided into multiple slice files, each within the size limit of messaging services. The controller generates slice files by segmenting the original video data into manageable portions that can be individually attached to messages, thereby enabling video sharing while complying with size restrictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the video is divided into slice files, then the compatibility with messaging service is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessaging service compatibilityVSAvoidvideo processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The controller automatically performs the video slicing operation without requiring user intervention. The system self-manages the complex process of dividing videos, generating slice files, and handling attachments, thereby improving messaging service compatibility while minimizing the perceived complexity for the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If a video is split into multiple slice files, then the file size limitation is overcome, but the operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefile size limitation overcomingVSAvoiduser operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically handles the entire video slicing and attachment process. When a user selects a video larger than the messaging service limit, the controller autonomously divides it into appropriate slice files and attaches them, eliminating the need for users to manually split files and maintaining operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
