Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inefficiencies in obtaining desired videos, as they must either shoot new videos or manually search through numerous videos stored on electronic devices, which is time-consuming and cumbersome, especially when multiple video saving folders are involved.

Innovation Solution

A video display method that allows users to view video identifiers associated with a target object in a camera's photographing preview interface, enabling direct access to desired videos without the need for shooting or manual searching, by displaying N video identifiers within the interface, where N is a positive integer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If users manually search through videos stored on electronic devices, then users can find desired videos, but users spend a lot of time searching through multiple folders

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo retrieval timeVSAvoidsearch operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an image recognition system as an intermediary between the user and video storage system. The system automatically identifies objects in user-provided images and retrieves related videos without manual folder navigation, thus reducing retrieval time while maintaining ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual searching process with an automated image recognition and video retrieval system. Instead of manually browsing folders, users simply upload an image and the system automatically processes it to find and display related videos, significantly reducing time consumption

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

2Productivity

If users shoot videos personally to obtain desired content, then users can get specific videos, but users spend much time shooting

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo acquisition efficiencyVSAvoidvideo shooting time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having users provide reference images in advance that contain the target objects. The system then uses these pre-provided images to automatically retrieve related videos, eliminating the need for users to spend time shooting videos while still achieving the goal of obtaining desired video content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple video saving folders are created for organization, then videos are well-organized, but users need to open folders separately for searching which is cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo storage organizationVSAvoidfolder navigation operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the video retrieval process from the traditional folder navigation approach. Instead of requiring users to manually open and search through multiple organized folders, the system extracts the essential function of finding videos by using image recognition to directly locate and display relevant videos regardless of their folder locations, thus maintaining organizational structure while eliminating cumbersome navigation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
