Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience and degraded experience due to increasing drafts of multimedia data buffered in video category applications, requiring repeated creation of new data for sharing.

Innovation Solution

A multimedia data processing method that displays a first icon in a shooting page to browse pre-buffered multimedia data, allowing users to select and publish these drafts directly from the shooting page.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multimedia data is buffered in video category APPs for later sharing, then users can preserve created content for future use, but the number of drafts increases over time causing inconvenience and degraded user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepreservation of multimedia dataVSAvoiduser experience when publishing drafts
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by displaying identification information of pre-buffered multimedia data directly on the shooting page before the user intends to publish. This allows users to preview and select drafts in advance, eliminating the need to navigate through multiple pages or menus when ready to publish, thus resolving the contradiction between preserving drafts and maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If users continuously create new multimedia data instead of reusing drafts, then sharing functionality remains simple, but productivity decreases and user experience degrades

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of sharing multimedia dataVSAvoidtime spent recreating multimedia data
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By displaying draft identification information on the shooting page in advance, the system enables users to select and publish existing drafts without recreating content. This preliminary display of available drafts directly addresses the productivity-time loss contradiction by making draft reuse as efficient as new creation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The shooting page is enhanced to serve multiple functions: both creating new multimedia data and accessing/pre publishing existing drafts. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by integrating draft management into the primary creation workflow, eliminating the need for separate draft management operations and thereby improving productivity without increasing time investment.

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

3Ease of operation

If draft management functionality is added to the shooting page, then access to pre-buffered data becomes intuitive, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccessibility of draft publishingVSAvoidcomplexity of shooting page interface
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by displaying only identification information of drafts on the shooting page rather than full draft content or complex management options. This segmented approach provides intuitive access to drafts while maintaining interface simplicity, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The embodiment of the present disclosure discloses multimedia data processing method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. The method comprises: displaying a first shooting page which includes a first icon; displaying identification information of one or more pieces of pre-buffered multimedia data according to an operation of a user on the first icon; acquiring a publishing instruction for target multimedia data of the one or more pieces of pre-buffered multimedia data according to the identification information; and in response to the publishing instruction, publishing the target multimedia data to a network. Due to the fact that the user usually enters the shooting page when wanting to share multimedia data through a terminal, therefore the user can see a draft browsing entrance more intuitively and publish a draft to the network by directly displaying the draft browsing entrance in the shooting page, and the probability of the draft being successfully published is increased. Therefore, the user is prevented from continuously creating new multimedia data when sharing the multimedia data, so that the user experience is improved.
