Solution Overview

Problem

Existing prop selection methods in photo and video rendering are inefficient and time-consuming, requiring repeated loading of prop resources to find desired props, which reduces processing efficiency and user engagement.

Innovation Solution

A prop processing method and apparatus that intuitively recommends props based on recommended videos, including pre-recorded introduction or effect videos, allowing users to select and apply props more efficiently by displaying a recommended video set and using prop configuration templates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users repeatedly load prop resources to determine desired props, then users can find props they want to use, but time consumption increases and processing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprop selection accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-generates and stores prop configuration templates and effect preview videos before user selection. When a user views a preview video, the corresponding prop configuration template is already prepared and can be instantly applied, eliminating the need for repeated loading and testing during the selection process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates preview copies of prop effects through rendered videos that showcase the visual impact of props. Users can view these preview copies to understand prop effects before actual application, reducing the need for repeated trial-and-error loading of full prop resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Ease of operation

If users manually test multiple props to determine preferences, then users can select desired props, but processing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprop selection easeVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system prepares prop configuration templates and effect preview videos in advance. When users view a preview video and like it, the corresponding prop configuration is already ready for instant application, transforming a previously time-consuming manual testing process into a simple one-click selection operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces effect preview videos as an intermediary between prop resource storage and user selection. These previews serve as a mediator that allows users to evaluate prop effects visually without directly loading and testing the actual prop resources, thereby improving operational ease while maintaining processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If prop resources are loaded for testing, then users can evaluate prop effects, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprop effect informationVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates lightweight preview videos that capture and display prop effects without requiring the full prop resources to be loaded into memory. These preview copies contain the visual information needed for evaluation while consuming significantly fewer computational resources than loading actual prop assets for testing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-renders effect preview videos and stores them for on-demand playback. This preliminary processing transfers resource consumption from the user interaction phase to the background preparation phase, allowing users to evaluate prop effects by playing pre-rendered videos rather than triggering resource-intensive loading operations during selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
