Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video editing technologies lack functionality to enrich user experience by effectively integrating and displaying shooting and editing materials in a way that enhances video processing capabilities.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that display shooting and target video editing materials in separate editing material tracks, allowing for time region and relative relationship determination based on their presentation times in the target effect video, enabling further editing functions and improved user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If video editing functions are expanded to display shooting and editing materials separately, then video processing capabilities are enriched, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo processing capabilitiesVSAvoidediting system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The editing material track is divided into separate display regions for shooting video material and target video editing material. This segmentation allows each material type to be displayed and edited independently while maintaining their temporal relationships, thereby enriching video processing capabilities without overwhelming system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a temporal dimension by displaying time regions and relative relationships between materials along the time axis. This dimensional approach organizes complex editing information in a structured manner, allowing versatile video processing while keeping the interface manageable through visual temporal organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple editing materials are displayed and edited simultaneously, then editing functionality is enhanced, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting functionalityVSAvoidediting operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The editing interface segments different material types into distinct display regions within the editing material track. Shooting video material and target video editing material are separated visually, allowing users to operate on each type independently while maintaining awareness of their temporal relationships, thus enhancing functionality without excessive operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes equipotentiality by maintaining consistent temporal reference frames across different material types. All materials are aligned to the same time axis with clearly defined time regions, making it easier for users to understand and manipulate multiple materials simultaneously despite the enhanced functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #12Equipotentiality
