Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for learning multimedia resource editing require two devices, one for playing tutorial videos and another for editing, leading to inefficient use of device resources.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allow multimedia resource editing by playing tutorial videos on a single device, where the tutorial video is displayed as a floating window on the editing page, enabling users to perform editing operations while learning, thereby reducing device resource occupation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If two devices are used (one for tutorial playback, another for editing), then the learning process can proceed smoothly with clear tutorial viewing, but device resources are wasted and operation convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation convenienceVSAvoiddevice resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the tutorial playback function and the editing function into a single device by displaying the tutorial video as a floating window overlaying the editing interface. This allows users to watch tutorials and perform editing operations simultaneously on one device, eliminating the need for two separate devices and improving operational convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The tutorial video is displayed in a floating window dimension that overlays the editing interface, creating a multi-layered display structure. This dimensional approach allows both the tutorial content and editing operations to coexist in the same physical device without interfering with each other, effectively utilizing screen space in a three-dimensional display arrangement.

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

2Productivity

If two devices are used (one for tutorial playback, another for editing), then tutorial viewing and editing can occur simultaneously, but device resource occupation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelearning efficiencyVSAvoiddevice resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functions (tutorial playback, editing operations, and resource management) into a single integrated system. By making the editing page obtain and display tutorial videos autonomously, the system eliminates the need for separate devices while maintaining simultaneous tutorial viewing and editing capabilities, thus improving learning efficiency without increasing device resource occupation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The editing page is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as both the editing workspace and the tutorial playback interface. The page can autonomously obtain, display, and control tutorial videos while simultaneously handling editing operations, making a single device universal enough to replace what previously required two separate devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If tutorial video is displayed as floating window on editing page, then single device can be used for both learning and editing, but interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation convenienceVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into distinct functional layers: the editing operations layer and the tutorial playback layer (floating window). This segmentation allows each layer to operate independently while coexisting in the same interface space, managing complexity by separating concerns into modular components that can be controlled and displayed independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The floating window acts as an intermediary element between the tutorial video source and the editing interface. It mediates the display of tutorial content without interfering with the underlying editing operations, providing a clean separation that manages interface complexity while enabling dual functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A method for editing multimedia resource based on a tutorial is provided. The method includes: acquiring a tutorial video; and playing the tutorial video on a resource editing page in a form of a floating window; where the tutorial video is configured to instruct a user to perform an editing operation on an imported multimedia resource on the resource editing page.
