Solution Overview

Problem

In large-scale video game or animation development, existing systems fail to efficiently integrate multiple video constituent data and balance development tasks, leading to inefficiencies and difficulties in maintaining visibility of the final result across multiple platforms.

Innovation Solution

A video creating system that integrates multiple video editing tools with a server for continuous data transmission and integration, allowing real-time updating of video data across various platforms, enabling developers to work efficiently and balance tasks effectively while ensuring seamless multi-platform development.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multiple video constituent data are integrated by conventional managing systems, then the scale of work increases, but the efficiency of work decreases and balance adjustment between tasks becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of video constituent dataVSAvoidefficiency of work
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the video creation process into multiple independent editing tools, each handling specific video constituent data (character design, motion design, effect creation, layout design, sound design, scene editing). This segmentation allows parallel development while maintaining individual control, resolving the contradiction between handling multiple data elements and maintaining work efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback mechanisms where the server automatically integrates and stores updated video constituent data, and the integrated video data can be viewed by all designers. This real-time feedback loop enables balance adjustment between tasks while maintaining overall efficiency, as designers can see the impact of their work on the final integration without manual coordination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Quantity of substance

If multiple designers cooperatively work on video constituent data, then the comprehensiveness of the work increases, but the difficulty in grasping the overall work increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of designersVSAvoiddifficulty in grasping overall work
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as an intermediary between multiple designers and the integrated video data. It automatically receives, integrates, and stores video constituent data from various editing tools, then makes the integrated results available to all designers. This intermediary eliminates the need for designers to manually track overall progress, as the server handles the complexity of integration automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The server provides universal access to integrated video data for all designers across different editing tools. Each designer can view the current state of integration regardless of which specific tool they are using, enabling easy grasping of overall work progress while maintaining specialized individual work streams.

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

3Ease of operation

If individual work is advanced while confirming visibility as final result, then the motivation of individual designers increases, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisibility of final resultVSAvoidcomplexity of the system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service functionality where the server automatically performs the integration of video constituent data without requiring manual intervention from designers. When designers save their work in individual editing tools, the server automatically integrates these changes and updates the final video data, which is then immediately visible to all users. This automation maintains simplicity while enabling individual designers to advance their work with immediate visibility of the final result.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A video creating system includes: a plurality of individual editing tools for creating and/or editing the plurality of video constituent data; a server that acquires the plurality of video constituent data thus created and/or edited and creates one piece of video data by integrating the acquired video constituent data; and a target display section for displaying the video data acquired from the server on a predetermined machine platform. Each of the plurality of individual editing tools includes a data transmitting section that continuously operates on the individual editing tool. Whenever the video constituent data are created and/or edited, the data transmitting section transmits new video constituent data thus created and/or edited to the server. Whenever the new video constituent data are acquired, the server continuously creates the latest video data by integrating the plurality of video constituent data including the new video constituent data.
