Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional technologies fail to enable users to efficiently reply to multiple pieces of barrage information simultaneously, reducing the efficiency of interacting with multiple users during video broadcasts.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that combine first and second barrage information in response to user input, forming combined barrage information and displaying a reply window, allowing users to input and provide combined reply barrage information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional barrage display is used, then multiple barrage information can be displayed simultaneously, but users cannot efficiently reply to multiple barrage information at the same time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate reply operations into a single combined reply operation. When a user selects multiple barrage information items, the system combines them into a unified reply interface, allowing the user to input one reply that is simultaneously sent to all selected barrage sources. This eliminates the need to separately reply to each barrage item individually.
Solution Approach 2:
The reply interface is designed to serve multiple functions: it can handle replies to single barrage information or multiple barrage information simultaneously. The system detects the number of selected barrage items and automatically adjusts the reply behavior, making the same interface universal for both single and multi-target replies.
2Productivity
If users reply to multiple barrage information separately, then each reply can be precise, but the time consumed increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines multiple reply actions into a single operation. When multiple barrage information items are selected, the user inputs one reply message that is simultaneously delivered to all selected targets, reducing the time required compared to sending separate replies to each item.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary selection of multiple barrage information items before the reply is composed. By allowing users to select multiple targets in advance (before writing the reply), the system prepares the multi-reply structure ahead of time, so that when the user finishes composing the reply, it can be instantly sent to all selected targets without additional time delay.
3Device complexity
If individual reply windows are created for each barrage information, then reply context is clear, but the complexity of the interface increases
Solution Approach 1:
A single reply window interface is designed to handle both single and multiple barrage information replies. The interface automatically adapts its behavior based on the number of selected items, maintaining simplicity while preserving context clarity through dynamic adjustment rather than creating multiple separate interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary selection mechanism that allows users to choose multiple barrage information items before initiating the reply. This intermediary step (selection phase) separates the complexity of multi-target identification from the simplicity of the reply composition phase, maintaining interface clarity while enabling complex operations.
