Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for processing virtual object actions are inefficient due to high time costs and user operation difficulties in generating action videos, particularly in generating action video frames using generative adversarial networks (GANs).

Innovation Solution

A method involving receiving an action instruction with an identifier and time-dependent information, determining an action video frame sequence, identifying a preset state image at a target time, generating a connection video frame sequence to connect the preset state image with the action video frame sequence, and splicing these sequences to create an action video, utilizing pre-collected and pre-stored action videos.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If generative adversarial networks (GANs) are used to generate action video frames, then action video generation capability is improved, but processing time and operation complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaction video generation capabilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-collects and pre-stores action video frames and their corresponding action identifiers in a database before actual use. When generating an action video, the system retrieves pre-prepared video frames based on action identifiers rather than generating them in real-time using GANs, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining video generation capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses pre-collected action video frames as copies or references to generate new action videos. Instead of creating entirely new video frames through complex GAN generation processes, the system selects and combines existing pre-stored action frames that match the required action identifiers, reducing computational complexity and time requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Manufacturing precision

If key point information is provided according to time sequence, then action video generation accuracy is improved, but user operation difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaction video generation accuracyVSAvoiduser operation difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables the system to automatically match action identifiers with corresponding action video frames without requiring users to manually provide key point information in time sequence. The system self-determines the appropriate video frames based on action identifiers, eliminating the need for complex user input while maintaining generation accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces action identifiers as intermediary elements that bridge the gap between user intentions and video frame selection. Instead of requiring users to provide detailed temporal key point information, users simply input action identifiers, and the system uses these intermediaries to automatically retrieve and combine the appropriate action video frames, significantly simplifying the operation process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If action video frames are spliced according to time sequence, then action video continuity is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaction video continuityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the action video into discrete segments or frames, each associated with specific action identifiers. The system processes and splices these segmented frames based on their action identifier sequences rather than continuous time sequences, simplifying the processing logic while maintaining video continuity through proper segmentation and reassembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
