Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for generating virtual gifts on live video platforms are time-consuming and costly due to manual design processes, leading to long production cycles and high costs.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that fuse object data with a basic avatar model to automatically generate virtual gift videos, which are then displayed in a target gift tray page, reducing production time and cost by leveraging a network of electronic devices and servers for efficient video generation and display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If virtual gift videos are manually designed on the live video platform, then customization and user demand conveyance are improved, but production cycle lengthens and costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevirtual gift customizationVSAvoidproduction cycle
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses template-based automatic generation where pre-designed video templates are copied and customized with user-specific data (avatar, nickname, gift information). This allows rapid production of customized virtual gifts without manual video creation, resolving the contradiction between customization and production time by leveraging reusable templates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service automatic generation of virtual gift videos through data fusion technology. Users provide basic information and the system automatically generates customized videos without requiring manual intervention in the video production process, significantly reducing production cycle while maintaining customization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If virtual gift videos are manually designed on the live video platform, then customization and user demand conveyance are improved, but production costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevirtual gift customizationVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

By copying and reusing standardized video templates with automated data substitution, the system eliminates the need for expensive manual video production for each customized gift. The template copying approach maintains customization while dramatically reducing production costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual video production process with an automated data fusion and template rendering system. This substitution eliminates labor-intensive manual design while maintaining customization capabilities, thereby reducing production costs.

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

3Productivity

If automatic generation using data fusion is implemented, then production cycle is shortened and costs are reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo generation efficiencyVSAvoidgeneration system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the video generation process into distinct modules: data acquisition, data fusion with templates, and video rendering. This segmentation manages system complexity by organizing functions into separate, manageable components while maintaining high automation and productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a data fusion module as an intermediary between user input data and video template rendering. This intermediary layer standardizes data processing and simplifies the overall system architecture by providing a clear interface between data input and video output, managing complexity effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A video generation method is provided. The video generation method includes receiving a generation request carrying object data from a first target device; fusing the object data with a basic avatar model in response to the generation request, to obtain fused avatar images; generating a virtual gift video based on the avatar images; and sending the virtual gift video to the first target device, where the virtual gift video is used to be displayed in a target gift tray page of the first target device.
