Touch Gesture Video Capture for Seamless Vignette Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video sharing technologies lack an intuitive method for capturing and sharing video vignettes, which are short, contiguous segments that can be easily combined and shared across social media platforms, especially on mobile devices with touch-sensitive interfaces.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that detects user gestures on a touch-sensitive display to initiate and stop video recording, allowing users to capture video segments which can be combined into looping vignettes, shared across connected social media accounts, and processed for seamless playback and filtering.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional video recording interfaces are used, then video capture functionality is provided, but the operation is complex and not intuitive for users
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects gestures on the touch-sensitive display and initiates video recording without requiring users to navigate through complex menus or press multiple buttons. The touch interface serves itself by interpreting direct user contact as recording commands, eliminating the need for traditional video camera controls.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical button-pressing interfaces with touch-sensitive display gestures. Users interact by touching and swiping on the screen rather than pressing physical buttons, simplifying the interaction model while maintaining full video capture functionality.
2Ease of operation
If video recording is initiated by touch gesture, then ease of operation is improved, but precise control over recording start/stop may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The touch interface is divided into distinct functional zones: one area initiates recording when touched, while another area stops recording when touched. This spatial segmentation allows users to precisely control recording start and stop points through deliberate gestures to different regions of the display.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides visual feedback on the display to indicate when recording is active and when it has stopped. This feedback mechanism ensures users can precisely control recording timing while maintaining intuitive touch-based operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple video segments are combined into looping vignettes, then user engagement and sharing capability are enhanced, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically combines multiple short video segments captured during a single touch interaction into a single looping video vignette. This merging process creates shareable content that can be posted to social media platforms without requiring users to manually edit or assemble multiple clips.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary processing of video segments during capture, organizing them into a structured format that can be easily combined into looping vignettes. This preliminary organization reduces the complexity of subsequent processing and sharing operations.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and system for capturing, sharing, viewing, and/or displaying one or more video videos. A user of a computing device performs a gesture involving contacting a touch sensitive display. In response, a video segment is captured while the user maintains contact with the touch sensitive display. Upon releasing contact with the touch sensitive display, recording of the video segment is ceased. In one or more embodiments of the invention, the user may then record one or more additional video segments to be included in a video vignette.
