Electronic Apparatus Moving Image Section Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in changing sections of moving image data in long-duration content due to small pointer width, making it hard to perform drag operations and adjust sections in existing electronic apparatuses for creating new moving image content.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus with a creation means, reproduction means, operation reception means, and control means that allows users to easily change sections of moving image data by inputting operations during reproduction, extracting new section data based on the reproduction position, and controlling the creation of composite moving image content, including features like face and voice detection for improved convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the total reproduction time period of the moving image data is long, then the user can access more content, but the width of the pointer becomes too small making it difficult to perform drag operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the moving image data into multiple sections with specific time points (start point, midpoint, end point) and provides separate selection mechanisms for each section rather than relying on a single pointer across the entire long duration. This segmentation allows users to easily select sections without dealing with a narrow pointer across the full time period.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent pre-defines key time points (start point, midpoint, end point) of the moving image data sections before user selection. Users can directly select these pre-defined points or the sections between them, eliminating the need to manually position a narrow pointer across the entire long reproduction time period to make selections.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a GUI with pointer drag operation is used to select sections, then the user can change sections, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming for long-duration content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the section selection process into discrete, pre-defined options (start point, midpoint, end point) rather than requiring continuous pointer dragging across the entire timeline. This segmentation simplifies the GUI operation by reducing it to selecting from predefined points rather than performing complex drag operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically provides and manages the section selection process by pre-defining key time points and sections. The user simply needs to select from these pre-organized options rather than manually navigating through a complex GUI with narrow pointers, making the system serve the user's selection needs more efficiently.

AI summary
Disclosed is an electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus includes a creation unit to combine first section data in moving image data with other content data to create a composite moving image content, a reproduction unit to reproduce the moving image data, an operation reception unit to receive a predetermined operation input by a user during reproduction of the moving image data, and a control unit to extract second section data including a reproduction position of the moving image data at a time when the predetermined operation input is received and control the creation unit so that the creation unit changes the first section data in the composite moving image content into the second section data, the second section data being different from the first section data.
