Solution Overview

Problem

Consumer-recorded video content on mobile smart devices often suffers from user errors such as lens obstruction, shaky footage, improper orientation, and audio issues, leading to poor quality recordings and user frustration despite advanced hardware and software features.

Innovation Solution

A video recording assistant method that analyzes inputs like video frames, audio frames, and sensor data to detect user errors, providing feedback through graphical icons and audio messages, and automatically editing out errors by marking specific frames, with the option to switch camera modes and pause recordings for correction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If smart devices are enabled with many hardware and software video recording features, then video recording capability is improved, but user errors still occur leading to poor quality recordings

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo recording capabilityVSAvoidrecording quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements real-time feedback mechanisms that monitor recording parameters and provide corrective guidance to users. The system analyzes accelerometer data, gyro data, and audio levels during recording, then provides feedback through the interface to guide users on proper device handling, orientation, and recording techniques, thereby improving recording quality despite limited user expertise

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-diagnosis and self-correction by automatically detecting user errors through sensor analysis and autonomously providing corrective instructions. The feedback mechanism serves itself by continuously monitoring and guiding without requiring external intervention, enabling users to improve their recording skills through integrated guidance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If users manually monitor and correct recording parameters, then recording quality can be maintained, but user frustration increases due to the complexity of proper recording techniques

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecording qualityVSAvoiduser operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides automated feedback that simplifies operation by telling users what to do rather than requiring them to know complex recording techniques. The feedback interface translates complex sensor data into simple, actionable guidance, making proper recording techniques accessible to average users without increasing operational complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The feedback system acts as an intermediary between complex recording parameters and the user. It translates accelerometer data, gyro data, and audio level information into simple visual or auditory guidance, bridging the gap between technical complexity and user capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If real-time analysis of video and audio inputs is performed to detect user errors, then recording quality improves, but device processing load and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecording qualityVSAvoiddevice energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs partial analysis by focusing on specific, critical parameters (accelerometer data, gyro data, audio levels) rather than analyzing all possible recording parameters in full detail. This selective analysis approach maintains recording quality improvement while reducing overall processing load and energy consumption compared to comprehensive analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
