Solution Overview

Problem

The existing video production process for video calls is cumbersome and affects user experience due to the need for manual recording and editing of video call pictures, making it troublesome.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allows users to send a video call recording request to a server during a video call, receive recording results, and generate a result video based on these materials, simplifying the production process by directly obtaining and processing video and image materials from the server.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If users manually record and edit video call pictures, then they can produce video content, but the production process becomes troublesome and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo production processVSAvoidproduction workflow
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server performs preliminary recording of video streams during the video call, preparing the raw materials in advance. This allows the user to directly obtain pre-recorded video and image materials without needing to manually record during the call, significantly simplifying the production process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary between the video call system and the user's video production needs. It receives video streams, processes them into standardized materials, and delivers them to the user, eliminating the need for the user to directly handle complex recording and editing operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If users manually record video call pictures, then they can obtain video materials, but it requires significant manual effort and time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo production efficiencyVSAvoidmanual recording and editing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service video material acquisition. The server automatically records, processes, and delivers video and image materials based on user requests, eliminating the need for manual recording operations. Users simply need to initiate a request and receive the processed materials, dramatically improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical process of recording and editing is replaced by an automated server-side system. The server automatically captures video streams, extracts key frames, processes materials, and delivers results, substituting manual operations with automated computational processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Quantity of substance

If the server records multiple video streams, then comprehensive video materials are obtained, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo and image materialsVSAvoiddata processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server processes each video stream independently, extracting video materials and image materials separately from each stream. This segmentation allows for systematic handling of multiple streams, where each stream is processed through the same standardized pipeline, making the overall complex process manageable and scalable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The server implements a universal processing mechanism that handles multiple video streams using the same recording, extraction, and processing functions. This multi-functional approach allows the system to efficiently process any number of streams without requiring separate specialized processes for each, reducing overall system complexity.

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

AI summary

A video generation method includes: first, sending a video call recording application request to a server in response to a video call recording application operation acting on a video call page; next, receiving a recording termination operation for a video call picture on the video call page, and obtaining a recording result material corresponding to the video call picture from the server; and then, generating a result video corresponding to the video call picture based on a recording result material. It can be seen that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, during the process of a video call, the server may be requested to record the current video call, and the recording result material corresponding to the video call picture is directly obtained from the server, so that a user can generate the result video corresponding to the video call picture based on the recording result material.
