Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video editing technologies lack the ability to enrich editing modes and improve user experience to meet the growing demands of users.

Innovation Solution

A video editing method that utilizes material description information in a first video editing template to guide the acquisition of user materials, generating a video based on these materials according to the template's editing operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional video editing methods are used, then the editing process is simple, but the video editing modes are limited and user experience is not enriched

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo editing modesVSAvoidediting system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining video editing templates that include material description information, editing operations, and video generation parameters. Users can directly select from these pre-configured templates rather than creating editing workflows from scratch, which enriches editing modes while maintaining simplicity. The templates are prepared in advance with all necessary editing logic, allowing users to benefit from complex editing capabilities without dealing with the underlying complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces video editing templates as an intermediary between the user and the complex video editing system. The templates act as a mediator that translates user selections into complex editing operations automatically. This intermediary layer hides the system complexity from users while providing diverse editing modes, as the templates encapsulate pre-configured editing logic and material requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If material description information is used to guide material selection, then material acquisition accuracy improves, but the template structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematerial selection accuracyVSAvoidtemplate structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the video editing template into distinct functional modules: material description information section, editing operation section, and video generation parameter section. This segmentation allows the template to incorporate detailed material selection criteria without creating overall structural complexity, as each segment handles a specific function independently. The material description information is segmented into separate fields that can be filled and processed independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by enhancing specific portions of the template structure with detailed material description information while keeping other portions simple. The material selection guidance is localized to specific fields within the template where it is most needed, rather than adding complexity throughout the entire template structure. This allows precise material acquisition without uniformly increasing template complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If automated video generation from user materials is implemented, then editing efficiency improves, but control over the editing process is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo generation efficiencyVSAvoidediting process controllability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the video editing template configurable and adaptable. Users can dynamically adjust template parameters, material description requirements, and editing operations based on their specific needs. The system transitions from a static automated process to a dynamic one where users can modify the automation degree, allowing efficient automated generation while maintaining control through adjustable parameters and optional manual intervention points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
