Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for editing moving images lack the ability to dynamically add audible effects that match temporal changes, such as music or sound effects, to a moving image, which is not feasible due to the complexity of temporal changes in a moving image compared to still images.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for editing moving images that involve analyzing the image and sound data to extract specific timing points and adding sound effects or background sounds based on characteristics such as scene division and emotional intensity, using a server and client terminal setup with a communication network to dynamically generate and associate sound effects with image changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a single audible effect is added to a moving image, then the editing process is simple, but the audible effect cannot match temporal changes in the moving image

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting process simplicityVSAvoidability to match temporal changes
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The moving image is divided into multiple time sections (first time section, second time section, etc.), and different audible effects are added to each section. This segmentation allows the editing system to match different temporal changes in the moving image with appropriate sound effects, resolving the contradiction between editing simplicity and adaptability to temporal changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple audible effects are added to match temporal changes, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to match temporal changesVSAvoidediting system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The editing device automatically extracts specific timings from the moving image and adds appropriate audible effects without requiring complex manual configuration. The system self-services by autonomously analyzing the video content and making editing decisions, which reduces the perceived complexity for users while maintaining high adaptability to temporal changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If audible effects are added based on detailed analysis, then the matching precision improves, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetiming extraction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary extraction of specific timings from the moving image during the editing process, allowing for accurate matching of audible effects with temporal changes. By proactively identifying key timing points in advance, the system achieves high precision in sound-video synchronization without excessive processing delays during final rendering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method for editing a moving image by a computer includes obtaining the moving image, extracting a specific timing in the moving image by analyzing the moving image, and adding at least one sound effect to the specific timing. Furthermore, a method for editing a moving image by a computer includes obtaining the moving image, dividing the moving image into one or more scenes by analyzing the moving image, determining a characteristic of each of the one or more scenes, and determining a background sound to be added to each scene based on the characteristic
