Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in locating and managing scattered multimedia materials such as images, videos, and audios during video clipping due to lack of unified management, affecting user experience.
Innovation Solution
A display method and apparatus that enables unified preview and management of images, videos, and audios in a single application, allowing for batch sorting, similarity detection, and integration of materials, along with functionality for editing and managing audio files.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If materials are stored in different applications, then materials can be organized by application function, but user experience deteriorates due to scattered materials and difficulty in location
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges materials from different applications into a unified material library within the first application. The display interface shows icons representing materials (images, videos, audios) that are aggregated from multiple sources, allowing users to access all materials in one place rather than searching across different applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a mediator component that detects user operations on material icons and facilitates seamless access to materials regardless of their original application source. This intermediary layer handles the complexity of material aggregation and presentation, shielding users from the underlying distribution across multiple applications.
2Adaptability or versatility
If materials are accessed from different applications, then each application maintains its independence, but time consumption increases due to scattered material distribution
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary aggregation of materials from different applications into a unified display interface before the user needs to access them. By pre-organizing and displaying all available materials in the first application, the system eliminates the need for users to search across multiple applications at the moment of need.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal material access interface that can display and provide access to various types of materials (images, videos, audios) from different application sources through a single unified interface, making the system multi-functional in handling diverse material types and sources.
3Quantity of substance
If materials are imported from multiple sources, then material variety increases, but user experience worsens due to lack of unified management
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges materials of various types (images, videos, audios) from multiple sources into a unified management interface. The display interface presents all materials with consistent icons and uniform access methods, allowing users to manage diverse materials through a single standardized interaction paradigm.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies homogeneity by presenting all materials (regardless of type or source) through a unified interface with consistent icon representation and uniform access operations. This homogeneous presentation style simplifies user interaction despite the heterogeneity of the underlying materials.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide a display method and apparatus, and relate to the field of terminal technologies. The method includes: displaying, by a terminal device, a second interface, the second interface including: an icon of a first material and an icon of a second material, the first material being an audio, and the second material being an image, an audio, or a video; receiving, by the terminal device, a second operation on the second interface; displaying, by the terminal device, a first icon in the second interface in response to the second operation; receiving, by the terminal device, a third operation on the first icon; and displaying, by the terminal device, a third interface in response to the third operation, the third interface including: the first material and the second material. Therefore, a user can preview images, videos, and audios in a unified manner in a first application, thereby facilitating the user to quickly locate a needed material from the first application and also facilitating the user to sort the materials in batches.
