Solution Overview

Problem

Users need to frequently switch between video playback and conversation interfaces with an intelligent robot to obtain additional information, disrupting the video watching experience.

Innovation Solution

A video playing method and apparatus that integrates a conversation interface with an intelligent robot within the video playback interface, allowing simultaneous video watching and information retrieval through an intelligent robot, with search results and conversation content displayed in separate areas without interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users switch between video playback interface and conversation interface to obtain additional information, then information retrieval capability is improved, but video watching experience deteriorates due to frequent interface switching

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation retrieval capabilityVSAvoidvideo watching experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the video playback interface and conversation interface into a single integrated interface. The video playback area and conversation area coexist on the same screen, allowing users to watch videos and interact with the intelligent robot simultaneously without switching between separate interfaces. This resolves the contradiction by combining two previously separate functions into one unified interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a single-interface design to a multi-area layout design. Instead of switching between separate video and conversation interfaces, the system divides the screen into multiple functional areas (video playback area, conversation area, search result area) that can be displayed simultaneously. This dimensional change allows both functions to operate in parallel within the same interface space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If video playback interface is closed to enter conversation interface, then information retrieval capability is improved, but operation complexity increases due to interface switching

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation retrieval capabilityVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the video playback interface and conversation interface into one integrated interface, eliminating the need for users to close one interface to access the other. Both interfaces operate simultaneously within the same screen space, reducing operational complexity while maintaining full information retrieval capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Loss of information

If search result and conversation content are displayed together, then information accessibility is improved, but display area competition worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoiddisplay area competition
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the interface into distinct functional areas: video playback area, conversation area, and search result area. Each area is dedicated to specific content and can be independently sized and positioned. This segmentation allows all three types of information to be displayed simultaneously without overlapping or competing for the same display space, resolving the contradiction between information accessibility and display area competition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by giving different regions of the interface different functions and display characteristics. The video playback area is optimized for visual content, the conversation area for text interaction, and the search result area for information display. Each area has tailored display properties that optimize its specific function while coexisting with other areas on the same screen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a video playing method and apparatus, a computer device, and a storage medium. The video playing method includes: playing a first video on a video playing interface, in which the first video is a video corresponding to triggered first video preview information among a plurality of pieces of video preview information in a search result corresponding to a video search request; playing, in response to a trigger operation on an artificial intelligence identifier on the video playing interface, the first video in a first area of a conversation interface for a conversation with an intelligent robot, and displaying the search result and conversation content of the conversation with the intelligent robot in a second area of the conversation interface; and switching, in response to a trigger operation on second video preview information in the search result, the first video played in the first area to a second video corresponding to the second video preview information.
