Audiobook Player Interface for Direct Playback and Content Reading

Resolve Bottlenecks,
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Current audiobook applications require multiple navigation steps to transition from content delivery to playback, leading to low interaction efficiency and user experience.

Innovation Solution

An audiobook player page is displayed directly upon selecting a target audiobook, with integrated functional areas for displaying key and extended content introduction information, allowing simultaneous audio playback and content reading.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If traditional multi-step navigation is used to transition from content delivery to playback, then users can access detailed information at each step, but interaction efficiency and user experience deteriorate due to excessive navigation steps

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent introduction informationVSAvoidinteraction efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the content delivery page and playback page into a single integrated audiobook player page. The player page contains both the content introduction information (first and second content introduction information) and the audio playback functionality in one unified interface, eliminating the need for multi-step navigation while preserving all necessary information.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The audiobook player page serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays content introduction information (both key and extended content), provides audio playback controls, and allows users to navigate between different information views. This multi-functional design replaces the traditional separate pages with a single universal interface.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Device complexity

If traditional multi-step navigation is used to transition from content delivery to playback, then system structure remains simple and modular, but user experience deteriorates due to additional navigation steps

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem structureVSAvoidnavigation time

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines what were previously separate system components (content delivery page and playback page) into a single integrated audiobook player page. This merging eliminates navigation time while the modular internal structure (with distinct first and second content introduction information areas) maintains manageable system complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds informational depth to the player page by incorporating multiple layers of content introduction information (first and second content introduction information) within the same interface space. This dimensional enrichment provides comprehensive information without requiring additional navigation steps or increasing structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Ease of operation

If direct access to playback is implemented without content introduction, then interaction efficiency improves, but users lose access to informative content introductions

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinteraction efficiencyVSAvoidcontent introduction information

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the content introduction display and audio playback functions into the same interface space. The first content introduction information and second content introduction information are both displayed within the audiobook player page alongside the playback controls, allowing users to access both information and playback functionality simultaneously without sacrificing either.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an information display method and apparatus for an audiobook, an electronic device, and a storage medium. An audiobook player page is displayed in response to a trigger operation for a target audiobook on a content delivery page, where first content introduction information of the target audiobook is displayed in a first area of the audiobook player page, the first content introduction information including an introduction to key content of the target audiobook. Second content introduction information of the target audiobook is displayed in the first area of the audiobook player page in response to a first trigger operation for the audiobook player page, where the second content introduction information is an introduction to extended content of the target audiobook.
