Synchronizing Still Image Editing with Moving Image Playback Sections
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multimedia content editing systems fail to synchronize the editing of still images with moving images effectively, particularly when still images are switched or removed, leading to a lack of synchronization in the editing process.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that receives editing instructions for still images with multiple pages and generates synchronized moving images by associating and editing the playback sections of the moving images to match the arrangement configuration of the still images, allowing for removal, duplication, and sorting of pages within the moving images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If still images are edited independently from moving images, then editing flexibility is improved, but synchronization between still images and moving images deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the moving image into multiple playback sections, each corresponding to a still image page. This segmentation allows independent editing of still image arrangements while maintaining synchronization by linking each edited page to its corresponding playback section, thus resolving the contradiction between editing flexibility and synchronization reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback mechanism where editing operations on still images automatically trigger corresponding edits on moving image playback sections. The playback sections are dynamically updated based on still image editing results, ensuring synchronization is maintained while allowing flexible still image editing.
2Reliability
If moving images are divided into multiple playback sections corresponding to still images, then synchronization is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal data structure where each still image page is associated with a playback section through a common identification system. This multi-functional approach allows the same data structure to serve both still image management and moving image synchronization functions, reducing system complexity while maintaining synchronization reliability.
3Reliability
If editing operations are applied to both still images and moving images simultaneously, then synchronization is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary segmentation of the moving image into playback sections before editing operations begin. By pre-establishing the correspondence between still image pages and playback sections, the system avoids time-consuming real-time synchronization calculations during editing, thus maintaining synchronization reliability while reducing processing time.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a reception section that receives an editing instruction with respect to an arrangement configuration of a still image including plural pages, and a generation section that generates a moving image which corresponds to the arrangement configuration of the still image edited due to the editing instruction and which is acquired through combination with a moving image including playback sections corresponding to the still image.
