Solution Overview

Problem

The correlation between videos in social video applications is poor, leading to reduced user interaction and complexity in browsing associated videos.

Innovation Solution

A video association method is introduced, allowing users to associate an original video with a target video through a capturing, editing, and posting process, with switch buttons enabling seamless transitions between videos.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If videos are posted independently in social video applications, then each video can be viewed separately, but the correlation between multiple types of videos is poor and user interaction is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo correlationVSAvoiduser interaction
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple videos into an associated video group where each video is linked to others through commentary relationships. The video posting interface allows users to associate multiple videos together, and the playback interface displays these videos in an organized manner with navigation between them, thereby improving video correlation and user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a commentary as an intermediary element that connects original videos and associated videos. The commentary serves as a mediator that provides context and links between different videos, enabling users to understand relationships between videos and increasing interaction through the commentary section.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If users manually browse and search for associated videos, then they can find relevant content, but the browsing process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo association informationVSAvoidbrowsing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-associating videos with commentaries and organizing them into associated video groups before user browsing. The system pre-establishes relationships between videos and prepares the playback interface to display these associations, so when users browse, the information is already organized and readily available, reducing browsing time and effort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the video browsing experience into distinct sections: original video playback, commentary section, and associated video sections. Each segment is clearly defined with navigation controls, allowing users to efficiently move between different video types without confusion, thereby reducing browsing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If a video association feature is added to social video applications, then video correlation and user interaction are enhanced, but the device complexity and interface complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactionVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the commentary section multi-functional, serving both as a text/comment area and as a video association mechanism. The same interface element (commentary section) handles both user comments and video associations, reducing the need for separate dedicated interfaces and thereby reducing overall system complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent nests associated videos within the commentary section of the original video playback interface. The associated videos are displayed in a nested structure that integrates with the existing video player layout, allowing the association feature to be embedded within the current interface rather than adding a completely separate system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

Described herein are techniques for generating videos. The techniques comprise displaying a video generation interface for generating a video in response to receiving an instruction via an element configured to associate the video with an original video; displaying an interface element on the video generation interface, wherein the interface element is configured to switch to display the original video; and displaying a video posting interface for posting the video in response to detecting a completion of generating the video, wherein the video posting interface comprises the interface element configured to switch to display the original video.
