Synchronized Audio Video Recording Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing user interfaces for revoicing digital media content are complex and require multiple steps, making it difficult for users to directly access and record voice inputs synchronized with video content.
Innovation Solution
A graphical user interface (GUI) with a progress element featuring selectable elements associated with specific time intervals of voice data, allowing users to record sound inputs directly while playing the corresponding video image data, simplifying the revoicing process by providing direct access to specific moments in the video.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional revoicing user interface is used, then voice recording functionality is available, but the interface complexity increases and user operation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The progress element is segmented into multiple selectable elements, each corresponding to a specific time interval of voice data. This segmentation allows users to directly access and record voice inputs for specific portions of the video without navigating through complex menus or multiple steps, thereby simplifying the operation while maintaining comprehensive functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The selectable elements are pre-configured to correspond to specific time intervals of voice data in the video. When a user selects an element, the system has already prepared the corresponding video segment and recording parameters, enabling immediate voice recording without requiring users to manually set up multiple parameters or navigate through complex interfaces.
2Productivity
If traditional revoicing interfaces with multiple steps are used, then comprehensive control is achieved, but the time required for voice recording increases
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the voice data into time-interval segments represented by selectable elements, users can directly access and record voice inputs for specific portions of the video. This eliminates the need to proceed through multiple sequential steps for each recording task, significantly reducing the time required while maintaining comprehensive control over the revoicing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-prepares the selectable elements with their corresponding time intervals and video segment associations before user interaction. This preliminary configuration allows users to immediately begin recording upon selection without experiencing delays from manual setup or navigation, thereby improving productivity and reducing time loss.
3Ease of operation
If direct access to specific video moments is provided, then user convenience improves, but the interface structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The progress element visually represents both the video playback progress and the selectable time intervals for voice recording in a single integrated component. This merging of functions allows users to directly access specific video moments through the progress element without adding separate navigation controls or complex interface structures, maintaining simplicity while providing direct access functionality.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for recording voice samples for video rendered on an electronic device including a display unit and a microphone. The video includes image data and voice data, and the voice data has one or more time intervals when the voice data is to be rendered with corresponding image data. The method is executed by a processor of the electronic device and includes displaying on the GUI a videoplayer element and a graphical or progress element representing progress of the video, the progress element including one or more selectable elements, each being associated to a time interval of the voice data and positioned on the progress element according to the time interval. When a user selection is received on a first selectable element, the microphone records sound data while the video player element is simulataneously played. The image data corresponds to the time interval associated to the first selectable element.
