Audio Spectrum Playback Progress Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional audio playback applications display playback progress using a separate progress bar, which is simple but occupies significant space, and when audio spectrum is also displayed, it requires additional space, affecting user experience.
Innovation Solution
Displaying playback progress through an audio spectrum that blends with the progress bar, using color and shape changes to represent played and unplayed audio, allowing users to perceive progress without needing a separate progress bar.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a separate progress bar is used to display playback progress, then the progress information is clearly visible, but the display space is significantly occupied
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the progress bar function with the audio spectrum display by using the filled portion of the audio spectrum bars to represent playback progress. The audio spectrum serves dual purposes: visualizing audio frequency content and indicating playback progress through the filling effect, thereby eliminating the need for a separate progress bar and saving display space.
Solution Approach 2:
The audio spectrum display is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it visualizes the audio frequency spectrum for entertainment purposes and concurrently displays the playback progress information. This multi-functional design allows one display element to serve both aesthetic and informational roles, reducing the overall space required in the interface.
2Illumination intensity
If audio spectrum is displayed separately from progress bar, then audio visualization is clear, but display interface space is consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the audio spectrum visualization with the progress bar into a single integrated display element. The audio spectrum bars are filled proportionally to indicate playback progress, so the same visual element serves both as audio visualization and progress indicator, thereby maintaining visualization quality while reducing display space consumption.
3Loss of information
If traditional separate display method is used, then progress and spectrum are both visible, but user experience is affected due to space occupation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines progress bar and audio spectrum into one integrated display, maintaining all necessary information while improving user experience by freeing up display space. The filled audio spectrum bars provide both visual entertainment and progress indication, creating a more pleasant and efficient user interface.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the disclosure provide an information displaying method and device. The method includes: acquiring audio data to be played; displaying an audio spectrum corresponding to the audio data, where the audio spectrum displays a playback progress of the audio data. The embodiments of the present disclosure display a playback progress of audio through an audio spectrum, which can blend the audio spectrum with a playback progress, possessing rich display effects, and can also save a space occupied by a progress bar when displayed separately; meanwhile, a user can perceive the playback progress of the audio when enjoying the audio spectrum, improving an audio playback experience of the user.
