Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video processing technologies fail to meet the diverse and evolving needs of users by lacking enriched functions for interacting with video content.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for video processing that displays a target page with separate areas for video playback and fragment information, allowing users to view and interact with fragment information corresponding to video fragments, including content attributes and interpretation, and enabling seamless transitions between video and fragment information through user triggers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If video content is displayed without enriched interaction functions, then the interface remains simple, but user needs for diverse video processing functions are not met

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo processing functionsVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into distinct functional areas: a first area for video playback and a second area for fragment information display. This segmentation allows the system to provide diverse video processing functions while maintaining interface simplicity by organizing complexity into modular, spatially separated sections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a spatial dimension to video interaction by displaying fragment information corresponding to different video time points in a second area alongside the video playback area. This dimensional expansion enables enriched video processing functions without complicating the linear video playback experience.

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

2Ease of operation

If fragment information is displayed separately from video playback, then video content can be viewed, but user interaction with specific video fragments is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo fragment interactionVSAvoidvideo content context
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system establishes bidirectional feedback between video playback and fragment information display. When video playback progresses to a specific time point, the corresponding fragment information is automatically displayed in the second area. Conversely, user interaction with fragment information can trigger playback to the corresponding video time point, creating a feedback loop that enhances interaction while preserving context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Fragment information serves as an intermediary element connecting video playback and user interaction. The fragment information, displayed in the second area, acts as a mediator that provides detailed content attributes and interpretation of specific video fragments, enabling enhanced interaction without losing the broader video context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple video functions are integrated into one interface, then user needs are met, but the interface becomes cluttered and difficult to operate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo processing capabilitiesVSAvoidinterface usability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is divided into functionally distinct areas: video playback in the first area and fragment information in the second area. This segmentation allows multiple video processing functions to be integrated while maintaining ease of operation by organizing features into logical, spatially separated zones that reduce visual clutter and cognitive load.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
