Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the existing processes for creating and posting short videos are used, then the functionality is complete, but the operation process is cumbersome and user experience is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposting process simplicityVSAvoidprocess complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the capturing interface and editing interface into a single integrated interface. The capturing user interface element and posting user interface element are merged such that capturing and posting operations can be performed through a unified interaction flow, eliminating the need for separate complex processes and reducing operational burden on users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The capturing user interface element serves multiple functions: it can initiate capturing operations, and upon completion, automatically transition to the editing interface for further processing and posting. This multi-functional design reduces the number of separate operations needed and simplifies the overall user experience.

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

2Productivity

If the existing video creation and posting processes are used, then content can be posted, but user engagement and stickiness are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposting efficiencyVSAvoidtime for creation and posting
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically transitioning from the capturing interface to the editing interface upon completion of capturing. The editing interface is prepared in advance with appropriate tools and options, eliminating delays and reducing the time required for post-capturing operations, thereby improving overall posting efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent ensures continuity of useful action by maintaining a seamless flow from capturing to editing to posting. The interfaces are designed to transition smoothly without interruption, keeping the user engaged in the creative process continuously and reducing idle time, thus improving productivity and user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
