Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional video production methods require users to be proficient in synchronizing movements between watching and shooting, posing a high skill barrier and leading to low user engagement and stickiness in video communities.

Innovation Solution

A video production method that allows users to watch reference video content alongside recording their own content, using separate display regions for reference and real-time video, with features like adjustable display modes, additional resources, and variable playback speeds to facilitate easier video creation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users use separate terminals for watching and shooting videos, then they can reference video content while recording, but the operation becomes complex and users cannot keep up with movements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of video productionVSAvoidterminal configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the reference video playback function and real-time video recording function into a single terminal device. The terminal displays both the reference video content and the real-time camera feed simultaneously on one screen, allowing users to imitate movements without switching between multiple devices. This integration simplifies the operation while maintaining the ability to reference video content during recording.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If users imitate video movements without proficiency, then they need multiple terminals for reference and shooting, but this increases operational difficulty

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser skill level adaptabilityVSAvoidvideo production process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal acts as an intermediary device that bridges the reference video content and the real-time camera feed. By displaying both videos simultaneously on the same interface with synchronized timing, the terminal mediates between the user's limited skill level and the requirement to imitate movements accurately, making video production accessible to ordinary users without requiring proficient synchronization skills.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If traditional video production methods are used, then professional content is generated, but user engagement and stickiness in video communities decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent qualityVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables ordinary users to easily copy and imitate professional video content by providing a simplified interface that displays reference videos alongside real-time camera feed. Users can replicate movements and actions from the reference video without requiring advanced skills, thus generating user-generated content (UGC) that mimics professional quality. This lowers the barrier to content creation, increasing user engagement and stickiness in video communities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A video production method and apparatus, a storage medium and a computer device. The method comprises: receiving a follow-photography instruction while reference video content is played on a video playing interface, wherein the follow-photography instruction comprises a reference video identifier; displaying a first video display area and a second video display area on a screen of a terminal; playing the reference video content in the first video display area, and recording, in the second video display area, the displayed real-time video content; and generating a target video based on the recorded real-time video content and the reference video content. By means of displaying a first video display area and a second video display area on a screen of a terminal, playing reference video content in the first video display area, and recording, in the second video display area, the displayed real-time video content, when recording a video, a user can perform with reference to the reference video content, so as to lower the user's difficulty in referring to a recording, so that user stickiness can be improved.
