Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image editing software requires users to individually search for and apply templates and perform operations separately for each image, leading to a time-consuming and inefficient process when editing multiple images.

Innovation Solution

A multimedia processing method that allows users to select a template with multiple image sub-templates, assign original images to these sub-templates, and display preview effects with editing controls, enabling simultaneous editing of multiple images.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users edit multiple images individually using separate template operations, then each image can be edited with appropriate templates, but the editing process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting efficiencyVSAvoidtime required for editing
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple individual image editing operations into a single batch editing operation. Users can select multiple images and apply templates to all of them simultaneously through one unified interface, rather than opening and editing each image separately. This combining of operations directly addresses the efficiency problem by reducing the number of separate steps required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by allowing users to pre-select multiple images and pre-choose templates before the actual editing process begins. The system prepares the editing environment in advance by loading all selected images and available templates into memory, so that when editing starts, all operations can proceed simultaneously without sequential delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If users manually search for and apply templates to each image separately, then precise template matching can be achieved, but the operation process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoidtime for template selection and application
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the template selection and application process into a single unified operation. Instead of requiring users to search for and apply templates to each image individually, the system allows users to select a template once and automatically apply it to all selected images in batch, dramatically simplifying the operation while maintaining template matching quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent makes the template application function universal by designing it to work with multiple images simultaneously. The same template can be applied across different images in one operation, and the system automatically adapts the template to each image's characteristics. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for repeated manual operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If individual image editing operations are performed separately, then each image can be optimized independently, but the overall processing complexity and time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebatch processing capabilityVSAvoidsystem operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple independent editing operations into a single integrated batch processing system. The system combines image selection, template application, and rendering into one unified workflow that processes multiple images simultaneously, reducing overall system complexity despite the increased productivity capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a multimedia processing method and apparatus, and a device and a medium. The method comprises : in response to receiving a template selection instruction of a user, acquiring a target template corresponding to the template selection instruction, wherein the target template includes a plurality of image sub-templates; receiving at least one original image, which is uploaded by the user for the target template; determining original images corresponding to the image sub-templates, and obtaining a plurality of target images on the basis of the image sub-templates and the original images corresponding to the image sub-templates; and when the plurality of target images are previewed, displaying, in an image preview interface, a preview effect of the plurality of target images corresponding to the target template, wherein the image preview interface comprises an image editing control, which is used for adjusting the plurality of target images. The embodiments of the present disclosure can effectively shorten the time taken for multi-image editing, and improve the efficiency of multi-image editing.
