Solution Overview

Problem

Current video capturing methods require specialized software and user expertise, making video splicing and clipping cumbersome and inconvenient for users, as they need to manage software installation, export, and import processes.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for capturing video that allows users to acquire video segments through intuitive interface operations, such as long-press and release of a press-to-capture control, and synthesizes these segments into a target video without requiring dedicated video processing software, using a terminal device with a capturing module, determination module, and synthesis module.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If dedicated video processing software is used for video splicing and clipping, then video processing capability is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to software installation, system requirements, and high technical threshold

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo processing capabilityVSAvoidsoftware installation and system requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges video capture and video processing functions into a single integrated application. The terminal device captures video segments and processes them (splicing, clipping, filtering) within the same application environment, eliminating the need for separate video processing software installation and reducing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The application performs multiple functions including video capture, video processing, and video publishing within a single terminal device. This multi-functional approach replaces the need for multiple specialized software tools, reducing device complexity while maintaining comprehensive video processing capability.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If dedicated video processing software is used, then video processing functionality is improved, but ease of operation worsens due to required user expertise and complex操作流程

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo processing functionalityVSAvoiduser expertise requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides automated video processing capabilities that do not require specialized user expertise. The terminal device automatically captures video segments according to simple user triggers and handles processing operations internally, making the system self-sufficient and easy to operate for ordinary users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides video content into discrete segments captured by simple user actions (e.g., pressing a button). Each segment can be independently processed and recombined, allowing users to create complex video compositions through simple repetitive actions rather than mastering complex software operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If video processing software is used, then video manipulation capability is improved, but loss of time increases due to export and import processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo manipulation capabilityVSAvoidexport and import time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines video capture, processing, and storage operations within a single continuous workflow in one application. Video segments are captured directly into the application's memory buffer and processed in-place, eliminating the time-consuming export-import cycles required when using separate video processing software.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous operation throughout the video creation process. Video capture, processing, and assembly occur in an uninterrupted sequence within the same application environment, preventing the workflow interruptions and time losses associated with exporting from one application and importing into another.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

Provided is a method for capturing a video. The method includes the following steps: a video captured instruction is acquired, and video capturing is performed on a target scenario until a video captured pause instruction is acquired, so as to obtain a video segment captured between the video captured instruction and the video captured pause instruction; it is determined whether a video generation instruction is acquired; if the video generation instruction is not acquired, the video captured instruction and the video captured pause instruction are acquired repeatedly to obtain corresponding video segments until the video generation instruction is acquired; and based on the video generation instruction, a target video is generated according to the obtained video segments. Further provided are an apparatus for capturing a video, a terminal device and a storage medium.
