Visual Object State Adjustment for Multimedia Message Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic devices face limitations in efficiently transmitting and displaying multiple media contents, such as images and videos, due to constraints in message length and visual representation, which can lead to user experience issues during multimedia messaging.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a processor and communication circuit that adjusts the visual state of media content before and after transmission, allowing for the display and transmission of multiple media contents as a group, with visual objects representing each content and indicating transmission progress, enhancing user interaction and efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple media contents are transmitted as a group in a single message, then transmission efficiency is improved, but visual representation and user interface complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides multiple media contents into individual visual objects within the message bubble, each representing a separate media item. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple media contents efficiently while maintaining clear visual representation through distinct, manageable visual elements rather than a single complex representation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new visual dimension by displaying visual objects that represent media contents within the message bubble interface. This dimensional approach to visual representation allows multiple media items to be displayed simultaneously in a structured manner, resolving the complexity issue by adding organizational structure rather than increasing overall complexity.
2Ease of operation
If visual objects representing media contents are displayed in the message interface, then user interaction is improved, but message interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses visual objects as visual copies or representations of the actual media contents within the message interface. These visual objects serve as simplified proxies that enable user interaction without requiring the full media content to be rendered, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining interface simplicity.
3Manufacturing precision
If the visual state of media content is adjusted before transmission, then transmission accuracy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs visual state adjustment of media contents as a preliminary action before transmission. By adjusting the visual state in advance and displaying it in the message interface, the system ensures transmission accuracy while the visual adjustment process occurs during the user composition phase, minimizing perceived processing time.

AI summary
An electronic device includes a communication circuit, a display, and a processor. The processor transmits the media contents to the external electronic device using the communication circuit. The processor displays a plurality of visual objects in the display that respectively represents the media contents. Before transmitting the first media content to the external electronic device, the processor displays a first visual object representing the first media content within a first state in which a visual aspect is adjusted. After the first media content is transmitted to the external electronic device, the processor changes the state of the first visual object to a second state different from the first state.
