Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video SMS message technologies fail to effectively emphasize key points in the video content, requiring recipients to listen to audio to determine the user's intended highlights, which complicates the display and understanding of the message.

Innovation Solution

The method involves adding graffiti input, such as touch track input and additional pictures, to the video SMS message during the shooting process to emphasize key points, optimizing the display effect by reducing the reliance on audio and enhancing user interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If video content is sent without graffiti annotations, then the message transmission is simple and direct, but the key points and highlights in the video cannot be effectively emphasized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvekey point emphasisVSAvoidmessage structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video message is segmented into multiple layers: the base video content layer and the graffiti annotation layer. This segmentation allows the video content and annotations to be independently processed and combined, enabling effective emphasis of key points without overwhelming the overall message structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the video content and graffiti annotations into a unified message structure. The graffiti annotations are superimposed on the video content, combining visual information with highlighted annotations to create a comprehensive message that preserves both the original content and the emphasized key points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If recipients rely on audio to determine key points, then no additional visual annotations are needed, but the display effect is not optimized and user experience is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage interpretationVSAvoidvisual highlight
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from audio-only indication of key points to visual annotations in the spatial dimension. By adding graffiti annotations that appear directly on the video content, the system provides visual highlights that are immediately perceivable without requiring audio processing, thereby optimizing display效果和用户experience.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The graffiti annotations serve as an intermediary between the video content and the recipient's understanding. Instead of relying solely on audio to convey key points, the annotations act as visual mediators that directly highlight important information, making message interpretation easier and more intuitive.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If graffiti input is added to emphasize key points, then the display effect is optimized and key points are highlighted, but the message structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvekey point emphasisVSAvoidmessage structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The message structure is segmented into distinct functional components: the video content container and the graffiti annotation layer. This segmentation allows the complex annotation features to be isolated from the core video message, managing structural complexity while preserving key point emphasis capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
