Bullet Screen Comment System with Integrated Social Functions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems do not effectively integrate social functions into bullet screen message systems, limiting user interaction and engagement with video content by not allowing real-time commenting, liking, reposting, and following during video playback.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for a bullet screen information system that displays comments and social functions like Comment, Like, Repost, and Follow while a video is playing, allowing users to interact with the content in real-time by sending requests to a server for storing social information and updating activity counts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If social functions are integrated into bullet screen message system, then user engagement and interaction are enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple social functions (like, comment, repost, follow) into a unified bullet screen message system. The server integrates these diverse interaction types through a common processing framework, where all social actions are handled through standardized APIs and data structures, reducing the complexity that would arise from implementing each function separately.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a universal social interaction framework that handles multiple types of social functions through a single integrated architecture. The server provides multi-functional capabilities by processing different social actions (liking, commenting, reposting, following) through unified event handling mechanisms and common data models, allowing one system to serve multiple purposes.
2Productivity
If real-time social interactions are enabled during video playback, then user participation increases, but processing load on server increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining social function templates and interaction patterns before users engage with the content. The server prepares handling mechanisms for various social actions in advance, so when users participate in real-time, the processing follows pre-established pathways, reducing the actual processing load during high-participation periods.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service mechanisms where the client device handles initial processing of social interactions locally before submitting to the server. The terminal device manages local state updates, activity counts, and interaction tracking, reducing the processing burden on the server while still enabling real-time user participation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple social functions are displayed with each screen message, then interaction options increase, but interface clutter increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display of social functions by showing different interaction options at different times or contexts. Instead of displaying all social function buttons simultaneously with each bullet screen message, the system divides the interface into manageable portions, showing only relevant interaction options based on the current context, user preferences, or message type, thereby reducing visual clutter while maintaining full interaction capabilities.

AI summary
Techniques for displaying comment information are described herein. A method includes playing the target video, displaying the comments information associated with a video when said video is being played, displaying the social functions corresponding to said specific comment information when receiving the selection command corresponding to the specific comments information currently displayed, receiving the social information sending command corresponding to said social functions, obtaining the command inputted by the user on said social function panel, displaying said command corresponding to said specific comments information, and sending the server a request to add said command of said specific comments information so that said server will add said command into the comments information of said target video and record said command as the social information of said specific comments information. This invention allows the user to use more social functions when using the comments.
