Unified Video Stream Generation for Communication Records
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current instant communication systems fail to efficiently save and view video data from video communication sessions, and cannot handle mixed communication data formats, leading to inconvenient communication and storage issues when participants use different communication tools.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method and electronic device that obtain frame images from various data types, generate a video stream by combining these images, and store it as a communication record, allowing for convenient playback and handling of different data formats.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If video data from both communication parties is processed and stored separately, then the communication record can be complete and comprehensive, but the storage and playback complexity increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges video data from both communication parties into a single integrated video stream. The processing unit combines the first video data from the local device and the second video data from the remote device, generating one unified video stream that contains both perspectives. This single video stream is then stored as one communication record, eliminating the need to manage separate storage systems while preserving complete communication information.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing unit performs multiple functions: it separately processes different video data formats, handles frame rate synchronization, generates the integrated video stream, and manages storage. This multi-functional approach allows the system to handle various communication scenarios (video-to-video, video-to-text, text-to-text) through a single unified processing mechanism, reducing overall system complexity.
2Loss of information
If video data is stored in original format from both parties, then the quality and detail of communication record is maintained, but the storage space and retrieval efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of storing duplicate video data from both parties separately, the system merges them into a single integrated video stream. This consolidation reduces storage space requirements while maintaining all essential communication information in one optimized data structure.
3Ease of operation
If frame images are generated from both video streams and combined, then a unified playback experience is achieved, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The processing unit performs frame image generation and synchronization during the video communication session itself, rather than as a post-processing step. By preliminarily processing the video data and generating the integrated video stream in real-time or near real-time, the system prepares the communication record for efficient storage and rapid playback without requiring extensive post-processing time.

AI summary
The present invention provides an information processing method and an electronic device. The method is applied in a first electronic device and comprises: obtaining a first data; obtaining P frame images based on the first data, where P is an integer larger than or equal to 1; obtaining a second data based on a data channel with a second electronic device; obtaining Q frame images based on the second data, where Q is an integer larger than or equal to 1; generating a video stream of M frame images based on the P frame images and the Q frame images, where M<P+Q. With the present invention, based on the video data of both communication parties, the video or voice data can be clipped based on a processing rule to generate a video stream, such that the resulting video stream can be more compact and continuous and have a better viewing effect. The generated video stream can be used as a communication record for the communication parties which is convenient for the user to view or play as desired.
