Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multimedia data processing systems fail to efficiently merge and deposit video content within a session window, requiring users to switch to external software for video editing, which complicates the process and reduces operational efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A multimedia data processing method that allows users to select and synthesize multimedia data directly within a session interface, eliminating the need for external software, by performing operations such as long-press and drag actions to combine multimedia data and generate synthesized content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users switch to external specialized video editing software to merge multimedia data, then the merging capability is improved, but the device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to requiring multiple software applications and switching between them

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemerging capabilityVSAvoidsoftware switching requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the multimedia merging capability directly into the session application interface, combining previously separate functions (messaging and media editing) into a single integrated application. This eliminates the need to switch to external software while maintaining merging capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The session application is enhanced to perform multiple functions: it serves as both a messaging application and a multimedia merging application. The interface can handle both text communication and video merging operations, making the application universal and eliminating the need for specialized external tools.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If users switch to external software for video merging, then the merging function is achieved, but the productivity and ease of operation worsen due to interrupted workflow and additional software navigation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemerging functionVSAvoidoperational efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables continuous operation within a single application interface. Users can seamlessly transition from receiving multimedia messages to merging them without interrupting their workflow by switching applications. The session interface maintains continuous useful action by handling both communication and merging tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Ease of operation

If the session interface integrates multimedia merging functionality, then the ease of operation improves, but the device complexity increases due to additional processing requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface integrationVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a synthesis interface as an intermediary layer between the session interface and the underlying processing system. This mediator handles the complexity of multimedia processing while presenting a simplified interface to users, managing the trade-off between ease of operation and processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
