Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for generating effect texts in image editing applications produce static texts with limited styles and poor visual effects, lacking diversity and personalization.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for generating text animations by acquiring target text and reference data, converting it into a text image, and then into a text animation, using techniques such as texture overlay, mask application, and generative models to create dynamic and personalized effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If static effect text templates are used, then the generation process is simple and fast, but the visual effect and style diversity are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetext generation speedVSAvoidtext style diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static effect text templates into dynamic text animations by introducing temporal dimension and motion characteristics. The system generates animated text with various motion patterns (fade in, slide, bounce, etc.) and dynamic effect parameters that change over time, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and diversity by maintaining simple template structure while adding dynamic animation layers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying multiple dimensions of text effects including animation duration, motion amplitude, timing functions, and effect intensity. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system generates diverse text animations from standardized templates, achieving style diversity without complicating the core generation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If preset effect text templates are used, then the operation process is easy, but the visual expression capability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemplate calling simplicityVSAvoidvisual expression richness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds the time dimension to traditional static text templates by introducing animation sequences. Text effects are no longer confined to a single frame but unfold over multiple frames with temporal progression. This dimensional expansion enriches visual expression while maintaining the simplicity of template-based operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces animation parameters and motion curves as intermediary elements between the user and the final text effect. Users select templates and basic parameters, while the system automatically generates complex animation sequences through intermediate processing layers, preserving ease of operation while achieving rich visual expression.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If only static effect texts are generated, then the processing complexity is low, but the visual impact is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing complexityVSAvoidvisual impact
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action through cyclic animation patterns where text effects repeat or progress through defined sequences. Animation loops, oscillating motions, and rhythmic effect variations create dynamic visual impact without requiring overly complex processing, as the periodic nature allows for efficient rendering and prediction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
