Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video processing applications on mobile terminals either replicate the complex functions of PC software, making them difficult to use, or simplify them, resulting in poor functional expandability and user dissatisfaction.

Innovation Solution

A video processing method and apparatus that partitions the display interface into a video preview region, track editing region, and processing function navigation region, allowing users to trigger processing functions and display preview images and editing identifiers, enabling seamless integration of rich processing features.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If video processing APP completely copies PC terminal functions and logic, then functional completeness is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to complex interface and difficult usage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional completenessVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display interface is segmented into multiple functional regions: a first display region for video preview, a second display region for processing function navigation, and a third display region for editing track display. This spatial segmentation allows comprehensive video processing functions to be organized into distinct, easily accessible areas, resolving the contradiction between functional completeness and ease of operation by distributing complexity across organized zones rather than presenting it as a unified complex interface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from traditional linear or hierarchical navigation to a multi-region spatial layout where different function types are accessible simultaneously in different areas of the screen. The editing track region provides a timeline dimension for sequence-based editing, while the navigation region provides categorical access to processing functions, creating a two-dimensional functional space that improves ease of operation while maintaining comprehensive functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If video processing APP simplifies functions and logic, then ease of operation is improved, but functional expandability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidfunctional expandability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The processing function navigation region is designed as a universal interface that can display multiple types of processing functions (filtering, adjustment, effects, etc.) through a unified navigation structure. This universal design allows the application to maintain ease of operation with a consistent interaction pattern while supporting extensive functional expandability by simply adding new function types to the existing navigation framework without requiring interface redesign

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The display interface dynamically adjusts content presentation based on user interactions and selected functions. The editing track region dynamically updates to show editing identifiers and track information corresponding to selected processing functions, while the navigation region adapts to highlight relevant function categories. This dynamic behavior allows the interface to remain simple and easy to operate while accommodating a wide range of processing functions through adaptive content reorganization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of manufacture

If multiple display regions are used for video preview, editing track, and processing functions, then functional organization is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional organizationVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display interface is divided into three distinct functional regions, each with a specific purpose: video preview, processing function navigation, and editing track display. This segmentation organizes complex video processing functions into manageable, purpose-specific zones that are easier to implement and maintain, reducing the actual device complexity by breaking down the overall system into independent, well-defined modules with clear boundaries and responsibilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a video processing method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium, the video processing method includes: receiving a to-be-processed video; displaying, on a display interface, a preview image of the to-be-processed video through a video preview region, displaying an editing track of the to-be-processed video through a track editing region, and displaying at least one processing function through a processing function navigation region; and when receiving a trigger operation for any processing function, displaying, in the video preview region, a preview image of a processed video obtained by processing the any processing function, and displaying, in the track editing region, an editing identifier corresponding to the any processing function. The editing identifier and the editing track of the to-be-processed video are superimposed and displayed in the track editing region.
