Solution Overview

Problem

Current messaging applications lack the ability to perform complex video editing, such as face replacement, and require third-party software, limiting user interaction with generated videos.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for generating personalized videos with customized text messages using pre-generated video templates, facial landmark parameters, and text parameters, allowing users to create and modify videos in real-time on mobile devices, including face synchronization and text animation, which can be integrated into communication chats.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users use existing messengers for video editing, then basic visualization effects and text modifications are available, but complex editing capabilities such as face replacement are not provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo editing capabilityVSAvoidediting software requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges complex video editing capabilities including face replacement, face synchronization, and text animation directly into the messaging application interface. This integration allows users to perform advanced editing operations without needing external third-party software, thereby improving adaptability while reducing device complexity requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The messaging application is enhanced with multi-functional video editing capabilities that can handle both basic modifications (filters, text) and complex operations (face replacement, synchronization). This universal approach enables a single application to serve multiple editing needs, improving versatility without requiring separate specialized software.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If third-party video editing software is used for complex editing, then advanced editing features are available, but user interaction and integration with messaging is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting feature capabilityVSAvoiduser interaction
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By combining advanced editing features directly within the messaging application interface, the system eliminates the need for users to switch between multiple applications. Face replacement, synchronization, and text animation can all be performed through the messaging interface, improving ease of operation while maintaining advanced capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The messaging application serves as an intermediary platform that integrates video editing capabilities directly into the communication flow. This allows users to create, edit, and send personalized videos without leaving the messaging environment, thereby improving user interaction and operational ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If basic video modification tools are provided in messengers, then ease of use is maintained, but complex editing capabilities are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interface simplicityVSAvoidediting capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The video editing capabilities are segmented into different functional modules including face replacement, face synchronization, text animation, and visualization effects. Each module can be independently accessed and applied through the messaging interface, allowing users to maintain ease of use while gaining access to complex editing capabilities through organized, modular tools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically provides editing capabilities based on user needs and context. Advanced features like face replacement and synchronization are made available through the messaging interface, allowing the system to adapt its functionality while maintaining a simple and intuitive user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Described are systems and methods for generating personalized videos with customized text messages. An example method includes receiving an input text, a video template including a sequence of frame images, and at least one parameter for animation of the input text across the sequence of frame images, generating, based on the input text and the at least one parameter for animation, a configuration file including a text style for the input text for a frame in the sequence of frame images, and rendering, based on the configuration file, an output frame of an output video, where the output frame includes the frame in the sequence of frame images and a layer, and where the layer includes the input text stylized based on the text style. The method further includes providing an option enabling a user to change the at least one parameter for animation.
