Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If manual selection and determination of target multimedia information is performed by staff members, then the degree of adaptation between multimedia information and preset insertion entity can be improved, but the productivity and efficiency of the insertion process deteriorates due to time-consuming manual operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedegree of adaptationVSAvoidinsertion efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic inclination matching where the computer automatically acquires background inclination information from the video frame, compares it with foreground inclination information of candidate multimedia elements, and determines the target multimedia information without human intervention. This self-service automation resolves the contradiction by eliminating manual operations while maintaining adaptation quality through algorithmic inclination comparison.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical process of staff members visually determining and selecting multimedia information is replaced by an automated computational system that uses inclination information acquisition and comparison algorithms. This substitution transforms the manual selection process into an automated image processing and data comparison task, improving efficiency while preserving adaptation accuracy.

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

2Manufacturing precision

If manual picture determining and selecting is performed to find target multimedia information with highest degree of adaptation, then the quality of multimedia insertion is improved, but the complexity of the insertion process increases due to manual intervention requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinsertion qualityVSAvoidprocess complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex manual decision-making process is extracted and replaced by a dedicated automated module that specifically handles inclination information acquisition and comparison. By isolating this function into a specialized automated component, the overall process complexity is reduced while maintaining insertion quality through focused algorithmic processing of inclination data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms the subjective quality assessment performed manually into an objective parameter-based comparison using inclination information. By changing from qualitative manual judgment to quantitative parameter comparison (inclination angles and differences), the process becomes more systematic and less complex, while ensuring consistent insertion quality through measurable criteria.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple pieces of multimedia information are separately inserted into preset insertion entity, then the adaptability of multimedia information to different video frames is improved, but the time required for the insertion process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemultimedia adaptabilityVSAvoidinsertion time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary acquisition of inclination information for multiple candidate multimedia elements before the actual insertion decision. By pre-processing and storing inclination data for all candidate elements, the system enables rapid comparison and selection during the insertion process, maintaining adaptability across multiple candidates while reducing the time required for final selection and insertion execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An information insertion method is provided. In the method, background inclination information of a preset entity in a video frame to be inserted with information is acquired. The background inclination information is of a bearing surface of the preset entity in the video frame. At least one piece of foreground inclination information corresponding to at least one piece of multimedia information is acquired. An inclination difference between the background inclination information and each of the at least one piece of foreground inclination information is acquired, to obtain at least one piece of inclination difference information. Target multimedia information that meets an inclination difference condition is determined from the at least one piece of multimedia information according to the at least one piece of inclination difference information. The target multimedia information is inserted onto the bearing surface of the preset entity of the video frame to obtain a target video frame.
