Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multimedia editing technologies face challenges in accurately determining multimedia editing information, particularly when setting playback multi-times speed, as the correspondence between playback times of edited multimedia data and the original data is not accurately maintained.

Innovation Solution

A method is provided to determine multimedia editing information by calculating a time deviation based on the first and second playback times and the playback multi-times speed, allowing for accurate correspondence between playback times of the original and edited multimedia data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If playback multi-times speed is set for multimedia data, then playback speed is improved, but the accuracy of correspondence between playback times of edited and original multimedia data deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayback speedVSAvoidaccuracy of correspondence between playback times
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent calculates a time deviation value in advance based on the first playback time, second playback time, and playback multi-times speed. This pre-calculated deviation is then used to adjust subsequent playback time correspondences, ensuring accuracy is maintained from the outset rather than requiring continuous correction during playback

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where the time deviation is continuously applied when determining playback times for frames after the first target frame. Each subsequent playback time calculation incorporates the deviation information, creating a self-correcting system that maintains accurate correspondence throughout the edited multimedia data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If playback multi-times speed is set for multimedia data, then productivity is improved, but manufacturing precision of edited multimedia data deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting efficiencyVSAvoidprecision of edited multimedia data
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The time deviation is pre-calculated using the formula involving first playback time, second playback time, and playback multi-times speed. This preliminary calculation enables rapid processing of entire multimedia sequences without requiring frame-by-frame manual adjustment, thus improving editing efficiency while maintaining precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the editing process by changing from direct frame-by-frame time mapping to a parameter-based approach. By introducing the time deviation as a key parameter and using it to systematically adjust all playback time correspondences, the system achieves both high-speed processing and precise results

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A method for determining multimedia editing information includes: obtaining a first playback time of a first target frame in first multimedia data to be edited, a second playback time of the first target frame for second multimedia data after editing and a playback multi-times speed set for the first multimedia data; determining, based on the first playback time and the second playback time, a time deviation that occurs while editing the first multimedia data at the playback multi-times speed for the first multimedia data; and determining, based on the time deviation, the first playback time, the second playback time and the playback multi-times speed, a playback time of the first multimedia data corresponding to each playback time of the second multimedia data after the second playback time.
