Solution Overview

Problem

Users often fail to upload videos to social networking services (SNS) due to unawareness of specific video upload requirements, such as time limits, size, or resolution ratios, leading to upload failures.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal with a controller that records and converts videos to meet the video upload requirements of selected SNSs, displaying preview screens and visual effects to indicate recording progress and allowing users to adjust settings like brightness and zoom, ensuring compliance with SNS specifications before uploading.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the user records a video without knowing SNS upload requirements, then the user can record videos of any duration and format, but the video upload fails due to non-compliance with SNS specifications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo upload success rateVSAvoiduser operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting the target SNS platform and pre-converting the recorded video to meet that platform's specific requirements (duration, resolution, format) before the upload process begins. This eliminates upload failures caused by format mismatches without requiring users to manually adjust settings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides self-service functionality by automatically identifying SNS upload requirements and performing the necessary video conversions without user intervention. The controller autonomously handles the entire process from detection to conversion, making the system both reliable and easy to operate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If the system automatically converts videos to meet SNS requirements, then upload success rate improves, but processing time and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo upload success rateVSAvoidvideo processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs video conversion in advance during the recording process itself, rather than as a separate post-processing step. By continuously monitoring recording duration and automatically stopping or trimming the video to meet SNS requirements before the user finishes recording, the system eliminates delays that would occur after recording completes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the system provides detailed controls for brightness and zoom during recording, then user control precision improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecording control precisionVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple control functions (brightness adjustment, zoom control, recording parameters) into a single integrated camera module with unified control interface. This consolidation provides comprehensive functionality while reducing the perceived complexity for users, as all controls are accessed through one cohesive system rather than separate components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A mobile terminal including a wireless communication processor configured to wireless communicate with a video upload service; a camera; a touchscreen configured to display a preview image received from the camera; and a controller configured to when the image received from the camera starts to be recorded into a video, control the video to be recorded to meet a video upload requirement of the video upload service, and upload the recorded video to the video upload service via the wireless communication processor.
