Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile devices lack the capability to dynamically generate and edit video content in real time, similar to digital photo editing, as video editing is tedious and time-consuming, involving cutting, reordering sequences, and adding effects, which is not feasible on mobile devices.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for mobile devices that allows users to create and edit video content in real time by selecting theme-based styles, music, intro, outro, and effects during recording, with effects applied continuously and instantly rendered as video is recorded, using a graphical user interface for interactive control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional video editing processes are used on mobile devices, then video editing functionality is provided, but the process is tedious and time-consuming with lengthy rendering

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo editing speedVSAvoidrendering time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and prepares video content during the recording phase by applying thematic styles, effects, and music selections in real-time as the video is being recorded. This preliminary action eliminates the need for post-recording rendering, allowing the video to be immediately available for sharing without lengthy processing delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The video recording system automatically applies selected thematic effects, transitions, and music during the recording process itself, without requiring separate manual editing steps. The system serves itself by integrating editing capabilities directly into the recording workflow, eliminating the need for dedicated post-processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If real-time effects are applied during video recording, then dynamic video generation is achieved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo creation simplicityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile device integrates multiple video processing functions including recording, effect application, theme selection, music integration, and rendering into a single unified system. This multi-functional approach allows the device to handle complex video creation tasks while maintaining a simple user interface, as all these functions work together seamlessly through a single theme-based framework.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If theme-based styles with music and effects are integrated, then comprehensive video editing is provided, but processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo style optionsVSAvoidprocessing energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple video editing elements including thematic styles, visual effects, transitions, and music tracks into a single integrated theme package. By combining these elements that are normally processed separately into unified themes, the system reduces overall processing energy requirements while maintaining comprehensive video editing capabilities across multiple parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

According to a preferred aspect of the invention, there is provided a system and method that allows a user to implement dynamic video editing in real time during the recording of a video. The user chooses a theme and associated styles/effects, etc., which are immediately applied to the video as it is recorded so that results are visible as soon as the recording is finished. The associated music defines the recording time of the video and changes in the character of the music are used to select effect markers positions at which the user will be able to apply or implement effects. The inventive system handles the selection, definition, implementation and placement of effects by the user and applies those effects in real time which provides an output at the conclusion of the recording that is immediately available for further use or distribution by the user.
