Touchscreen Video Capture and Audio Splicing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for creating music videos, capturing images, and combining videos are time-consuming and costly, requiring separate recording and editing processes.
Innovation Solution
A portable electronic device with touch-sensitive display capabilities allows for simultaneous video capture and audio playback, enabling users to record videos and images while playing music, and seamlessly splice and encode video segments with associated audio.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If separate recording and editing processes are used for music videos, then video quality can be maintained, but time consumption and costs increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions (video recording, audio playback, screen capture, and editing) into a single integrated system. The electronic device can simultaneously record video, play audio files, capture the display screen, and splice segments together in real-time, eliminating the need for separate recording and editing processes while maintaining quality
Solution Approach 2:
The device performs multiple functions through a single system: it acts as a video camera, audio player, screen recorder, and video editor simultaneously. This multi-functionality allows users to create music videos by recording the device's own display while playing music, capturing images, and combining video segments without requiring separate specialized equipment or processes
2Manufacturing precision
If video camera is positioned at specific angles to capture printed images, then image quality improves, but the process becomes time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of physically positioning a camera to capture printed images at specific angles, the system uses digital copying by capturing the display screen of the device itself. The screen displays the image, and the camera records the screen, eliminating the need for physical positioning and angle adjustments while maintaining image quality
Solution Approach 2:
The system nests the camera inside the device being recorded. The electronic device contains both the display screen and the camera, allowing the camera to capture the screen's output directly. This nested configuration eliminates external positioning requirements and simplifies the capture process
3Reliability
If multiple videos are recorded separately and then combined through editing, then video quality is preserved, but the complexity and cost of the process increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges video recording, audio synchronization, and editing functions into a single integrated process. Multiple video segments can be recorded and spliced together within the same device without requiring external editing equipment, reducing complexity while maintaining video quality through proper encoding and synchronization
Solution Approach 2:
The device performs preliminary encoding and organization of video segments during the recording process itself. Video segments are pre-processed and stored in a format ready for splicing, reducing the complexity of subsequent editing operations and eliminating the need for complex post-processing equipment
