Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multimedia content processing technologies, particularly for long image-text types such as articles and image-text in short video software, fail to meet user browsing requirements due to limited display functionality.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that enable switching between a multimedia information stream display style and an image-text format display style for article content, allowing users to transition between these styles based on preset triggers, with features like progress bar control, voice and background music playback, and dynamic adjustments to reduce discontinuity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If article content is displayed in multimedia information stream format with automatic playback, then user engagement and entertainment value are improved, but user browsing control and reading efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay functionVSAvoidbrowsing control
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically switches between two display modes: multimedia information stream mode (first display style) and image-text format mode (second display style). This dynamic adaptation allows the display function to adjust based on user needs, providing both automatic playback entertainment and manual browsing control as required

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If article content is displayed in image-text format, then user browsing control and reading efficiency are improved, but user engagement and entertainment value deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrowsing controlVSAvoiddisplay function
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The display system is designed to perform multiple functions by supporting both multimedia information stream display and image-text format display. This multi-functionality ensures that the system can adapt to different user requirements, providing both entertainment-oriented automatic playback and efficiency-oriented manual browsing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If display mode switches between multimedia stream and image-text format, then display versatility is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay functionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display system is segmented into two distinct display styles: first display style for multimedia information stream and second display style for image-text format. Each segment handles specific display requirements independently, managed by a switching mechanism that selects the appropriate segment based on user interaction, thereby reducing overall system complexity through functional decomposition

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
