Solution Overview

Problem

Existing intelligent terminals fail to actively generate videos related to specific portraits in photos, leading to a poor user experience when viewing historical memories.

Innovation Solution

A video processing method that includes displaying interfaces for generating moment videos based on user interactions, allowing the electronic device to recognize portraits and automatically create videos from related photos, enhancing user experience by facilitating quick recall of shared memories.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the user manually taps portrait tags to view related photos, then the user can access photos related to a specific portrait, but the user experience is poor because videos cannot be generated actively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidautomatic video generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates moment videos by detecting portraits in photos and autonomously selecting related photos, eliminating the need for users to manually search through portrait tags. The electronic device serves itself by performing video generation tasks without continuous user intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-processes photos by detecting portraits and organizing related photos before the user needs them. When a user views a photo containing a portrait, the system has already prepared the necessary photo collection for video generation, enabling immediate video creation without manual searching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If the system generates moment videos automatically based on portrait detection, then user experience is greatly improved, but the device complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical operations (user tapping portrait tags and selecting photos) with automated image recognition technology. The portrait detection module uses computer vision algorithms to automatically identify and track portraits across photos, substituting user manual work with intelligent automated systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The moment video generation function integrates multiple capabilities: portrait detection, photo selection, video compilation, and automatic playback. This multi-functional module handles the entire video creation process within a single integrated system, managing complexity through functional consolidation rather than separate components.

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

3Loss of time

If the user flips through multiple photos manually to recall memories, then the user can view related photos, but it takes a lot of time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime to recall memoriesVSAvoidmemory recall efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-organizes photos by detecting portraits and grouping related photos together before the user needs them. When a user views a photo containing a portrait, the system has already prepared the complete set of related photos for video generation, eliminating the time users would otherwise spend manually flipping through photos to find related memories.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
