Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If each video application has its own independent setup functions and interfaces, then each application can have customized functionality, but user experience becomes inconsistent across different applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal video control interface that can be called by multiple different video applications. This interface provides common setup functions (collection, downloading, screen projection, sound effect adjustment, frame rate adjustment, close time setting) that work across all video applications, ensuring consistent user experience while maintaining application-specific customization capabilities through the same unified interface.
2Ease of operation
If a unified video control interface is implemented across all video applications, then user experience consistency is improved, but the complexity of integrating multiple functions into one interface increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the video control interface into distinct functional modules, each handling a specific setup function (collection, downloading, screen projection, sound effect adjustment, frame rate adjustment, close time setting). This modular segmentation allows the complex unified interface to be managed through separate, well-defined components that can be independently developed and maintained, reducing overall integration complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a universal video control interface as an intermediary layer between the user and multiple video applications. This mediator handles all setup operations uniformly, translating user requests into application-specific commands without requiring direct integration between each application and every function, thereby simplifying the overall system architecture.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple setup functions are provided in the video control interface, then functionality and versatility are enhanced, but the interface becomes more complex and harder to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the comprehensive video control interface into distinct functional segments (collection, downloading, screen projection, sound effect adjustment, frame rate adjustment, close time setting). Each segment is presented as a separate, clearly-defined option that users can select independently, making the interface manageable despite offering multiple functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a universal video control interface that provides more setup functions than any single application might need individually. Users can access and use only the functions they require (partial action) from the comprehensive set of available options, rather than being forced to navigate through application-specific interfaces for each function.

AI summary
A method for video control can be applied to a terminal. The method can include: displaying video application setup options on a video playback interface for setting video application functions corresponding to video usage effects; receiving a setup operation by one of video application setup options; correspondingly processing and playing video data to be played according to a video application function corresponding to the setup operation. By additionally providing a video application setup option, the terminal can perform various processing operations on a video, for example, free from video processing functions of various video applications, and perform, according to an operation instruction initiated by a user, corresponding video processing operations on various video applications and various video scenarios.
