Solution Overview

Problem

Current content conversion technologies are limited in providing multi-ended conversions and isolating content to a certain extent, failing to fully facilitate user preferences for multimedia content transformation, which restricts social interactions, learning, and efficient content transfer and storage.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that receive user preferences to convert multimedia content by separating input content into audio, text, and video using static or dynamic delimiters, generating output content based on content characteristics from library files, and transmitting the output content to another device, reducing data size and enhancing conversion capabilities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If content conversion technology is used to transform multimedia content according to user preferences, then content adaptability and user experience are improved, but data size and bandwidth requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent adaptabilityVSAvoiddata size

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments multimedia content into distinct components (audio, video, text, subtitles) and processes each separately. This allows selective conversion of only necessary components based on user preferences, reducing overall data size while maintaining adaptability. For example, converting only audio to text for hearing-impaired users rather than converting entire video content.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and processes only the specific content elements needed for conversion based on user preferences, rather than converting entire content sets. This extraction approach minimizes data processing requirements and bandwidth usage while still achieving the desired content adaptation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Manufacturing precision

If comprehensive content conversion is performed to isolate and transform all content elements, then content isolation and conversion completeness are improved, but processing complexity and time increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent isolation precisionVSAvoidprocessing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamic processing that adapts to user preferences and content types. The system dynamically determines which content elements require conversion and processes only those, rather than applying static comprehensive conversion to all content. This dynamic approach maintains high isolation precision while reducing processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically identifies and processes only the content elements that need conversion based on user preferences, without requiring manual specification of all elements. This self-service mechanism reduces processing complexity by autonomously determining the minimal necessary processing scope while maintaining conversion completeness.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Speed

If real-time content conversion is performed, then content transfer speed and user interaction responsiveness are improved, but processing load and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent transfer speedVSAvoidprocessing energy

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial conversion by processing only the specific content elements required by user preferences rather than converting all content. This partial action approach reduces processing load and energy consumption while maintaining real-time performance for the necessary content components.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action
