Solution Overview

Problem

Current multimedia data capture and processing devices lack a convenient method to incorporate additional information, such as branding or advertisements, into captured multimedia data, limiting user convenience and promotional opportunities for manufacturers.

Innovation Solution

A multimedia data processing method and device that captures initial multimedia data and incorporates preset information, such as advertisements or branding, into the data, generating a second multimedia data that presents the additional information, which can be output to users or processed for further use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional multimedia data capture devices are used to record scenes directly, then the captured data remains original and unaltered, but the ability to incorporate additional information such as branding or advertisements is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveability to incorporate additional informationVSAvoiddevice structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent embeds a broadcasting module within the image sensor module, creating a nested structure where the broadcasting capability is integrated inside the existing sensor architecture. This allows the device to incorporate additional information (branding, advertisements) while maintaining a compact form factor and avoiding significant structural changes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The image sensor module is designed to serve multiple functions: capturing images/videos and simultaneously broadcasting additional information through the integrated broadcasting module. This multi-functionality allows the device to both record scenes and embed promotional content without requiring separate dedicated devices.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If additional information is embedded into captured multimedia data, then user convenience and promotional opportunities are enhanced, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidmanufacturing process

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the broadcasting module with the image sensor module into a single integrated unit. This merging of functions into one module simplifies the manufacturing process compared to assembling separate components, while still enabling the embedding of additional information such as branding and advertisements into captured media.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If multimedia data is processed to include preset information, then broadcasting effectiveness is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvebroadcasting effectivenessVSAvoidprocessing time

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The broadcasting module is pre-configured with broadcasting information (branding, advertisements) before the image capture process begins. This preliminary preparation allows the additional information to be embedded seamlessly during capture without requiring extensive post-processing, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining broadcasting effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
