Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional video production software is used, then video production functionality is provided, but the process becomes complex and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo production process simplicityVSAvoidvideo production process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video production process is segmented into distinct steps (selecting images, adding text, choosing templates, exporting) and presented as a linear workflow in the dialog page. Each step is handled separately with dedicated input fields and controls, making the complex process manageable and easy to follow for users without prior experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The voice assistant application serves as an intermediary between the user and the video production system. It provides a natural language interface where users can describe their video needs, and the system automatically processes these requests through the video production workflow, reducing the complexity users must directly manage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If comprehensive video production features are provided, then functionality is improved, but operation difficulty increases for inexperienced users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo production functionalityVSAvoidoperation difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides intelligent recommendations for text content, image selection, and template choices based on user input. For example, when a user selects images, the system automatically suggests relevant text captions and appropriate video templates, allowing the system to serve itself in completing the video production workflow without requiring extensive user knowledge.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system prepares and presents relevant options to users in advance at each step of the workflow. Templates, text suggestions, and processing options are pre-configured and presented before the user needs to make decisions, reducing the cognitive load and operation difficulty while maintaining comprehensive functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An electronic device displays a dialog page of a voice assistant application. In response to a user operation of tapping a video generation control by a user, the electronic device generates a first video, and displays a preview prompt window of the first video in the dialog page. After displaying the preview prompt window of the first video, the electronic device displays a video add card in the dialog page. If receiving a user operation of the user on the first control, the electronic device displays a text edit window in the dialog page. The electronic device obtains text content in the text edit window, and further generates a second video based on the text content and the first video, and displays a preview prompt window of the second video in the dialog page.
