Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multimedia processing technologies face complexity and inefficiency when processing multiple segments, requiring the last segment to be deleted first, which complicates user interactions and reduces processing efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allow direct processing of any multimedia segment based on user selection, eliminating the need to process segments in reverse order, by receiving a selection operation, determining a target segment, and processing it according to a chosen mode, such as deletion, insertion, or re-capturing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If multimedia segments are processed in reverse order (last segment first), then processing can be completed, but operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveEase of multimedia segment processingVSAvoidProcessing order complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent inverts the conventional processing order by enabling users to select and process any multimedia segment directly without being constrained to reverse order processing. The system reconstructs the multimedia information after processing regardless of selection order, allowing arbitrary segment selection while maintaining flexibility in processing sequence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Productivity

If arbitrary multimedia segments are processed directly without reverse order constraint, then user experience improves and operation efficiency increases, but processing complexity management becomes challenging

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveMultimedia processing efficiencyVSAvoidProcessing workflow complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the multimedia information into independent editable units (multimedia segments) that can be individually selected and processed. Each segment is treated as an independent entity with its own processing workflow, allowing parallel or sequential processing without inter-segment dependencies, thereby simplifying the overall processing management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the processing workflow based on user selections. When a user selects a segment for processing, the system dynamically reconstructs the multimedia information structure to accommodate the processing of that specific segment, enabling flexible and adaptive processing sequences rather than rigid predetermined orders.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A method for processing media content includes: receiving a selection on a media segment in a media content, where the media content comprises at least two media segments; determining a target media segment based on the selection; and receiving a request for processing the target media segment, in response to a triggering on the target media segment; wherein in response to the request including a request for re-capturing processing, the method further includes: re-capturing a plurality of media segments; and replacing the target media segment with the at least one media segment of the plurality of media segments.
