Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content-sharing applications require cumbersome mode selection for video capturing, leading to user frustration and reduced participation in content creation.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allows seamless transition between single-segment and multi-segment capturing modes, enabling users to capture, edit, and post content efficiently by integrating capturing and editing pages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users are provided with multiple capturing modes (single-segment and multi-segment), then the adaptability of the application is improved, but the device complexity increases due to mode selection requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapturing mode adaptabilityVSAvoidmode selection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The capturing page is designed to perform multiple functions: it can capture single segments, capture multiple segments continuously, and provide editing capabilities all within one unified interface. This eliminates the need for separate modes or pages, resolving the contradiction by making the device universal rather than complex

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the capturing functionality and editing functionality into a single capturing page. The editing tools are integrated directly into the capturing interface, allowing users to switch between capturing and editing without navigating to separate pages or modes, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If a single-segment capturing mode is used, then the ease of operation is improved, but the productivity decreases due to repeated navigation between capturing and editing pages

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapturing operation simplicityVSAvoidcontent creation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The editing tools are merged into the capturing page itself. After capturing a segment, users can immediately access editing functions without leaving the capturing interface, eliminating repeated navigation and improving productivity while maintaining ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The capturing and editing actions become continuous rather than interrupted by page transitions. Users can capture segments and edit them in an uninterrupted workflow within the same page, enhancing productivity without complicating the operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for content capturing. The method includes, presenting a first capturing page corresponding to a single-segment capturing mode to capture a first video segment; in response to an indication of capturing completion being detected while the first capturing page is being presented, presenting a first editing page for editing at least the first captured video segment; and presenting a second capturing page to capture a second video segment based on an indication of new capturing being detected while the first editing page is being presented. In this way, it is possible for users to conduct content creating more easily and quickly, and different capturing requirements can further be met.
