Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video clipping software makes it inconvenient and inefficient for template creators to generate video templates, as they face difficulties in selecting and replacing materials.

Innovation Solution

A method for video editing that presents a template publishing interface based on a target video draft, allowing users to set replaceable materials directly on the interface, and generates a target video template by replacing these materials.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If template creators use existing video clipping software to generate templates, then video templates can be created, but the process is inconvenient and inefficient with low template generation efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemplate generation efficiencyVSAvoidconvenience of template creation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables template creators to automatically mark materials as replaceable through automated detection and analysis of video materials, rather than requiring manual configuration. The system self-identifies which materials should be replaceable based on template structure analysis, reducing the operational burden on creators while maintaining high efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis and marking of replaceable materials during the template creation process itself, rather than requiring separate post-processing steps. By automatically identifying and marking replaceable materials as the template is being created, the system eliminates subsequent manual adjustment steps and improves overall workflow efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If template creators manually select and replace materials in video templates, then custom templates can be created, but the process is time-consuming and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemplate customization capabilityVSAvoidtime for material selection and replacement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces the manual mechanical process of material selection and replacement with an automated computational system. The system automatically analyzes template structures, identifies replaceable materials, and manages material substitution based on predefined rules, eliminating the time-consuming manual operations while preserving full customization capability

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an automated intermediary layer between the template creator and the material replacement process. This intermediary automatically manages the complex task of identifying and replacing materials based on template structure analysis, allowing creators to focus on high-level template design while the system handles the time-consuming detailed material management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of manufacture

If the interface provides detailed controls for material replacement, then template creation is flexible, but the interface becomes complex and difficult to operate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of template creationVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts the complex material replacement logic from the user interface and implements it as an automated background process. By removing the need for users to manually configure material replacement settings and automatically identifying replaceable materials, the system simplifies the interface while maintaining flexible template creation capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-analysis of template structures to automatically identify and mark replaceable materials without requiring user intervention. This self-service approach eliminates the need for complex user controls and configuration options, simplifying the interface while preserving full template creation flexibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
