Child Frame Video Rendering Without Popup Webpage Disruption
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video streaming technologies struggle to seamlessly integrate video streams with linked web content, often requiring popup windows that disrupt user experience and can be blocked by browser settings.
Innovation Solution
A frame and child frame system is used to render video streams alongside linked web content, allowing the video to be reduced and overlaid on top of the content without using popup windows, enabling interactive and non-disruptive viewing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If popup windows are used to display linked web content, then web content can be displayed separately from video, but user experience is disrupted and browser settings may block the content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the video player and web content display into a single integrated window structure. The video is embedded within the web page content in the same window, eliminating the need for separate popup windows. This merging approach ensures that both video and web content are reliably displayed together while maintaining continuous user experience without interruptions or browser blocking issues.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a mediator component that manages the interaction between video playback and web content display. This mediator coordinates the rendering of video and web page elements, handling their spatial relationships and interactions within the unified window, thereby resolving conflicts between video display requirements and web content accessibility.
2Productivity
If video is reduced in size to fit alongside web content, then both video and web content can be displayed simultaneously, but video display quality may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic sizing and positioning of video elements within the web page. The video display dimensions and location are not fixed but can be adjusted based on available space, user preferences, and content importance. This dynamic approach allows the system to optimize both the simultaneous display of multiple content types and the maintenance of acceptable video quality by adapting to different viewing scenarios.
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques for display using frame and child frame technology for video and webpage rendering are disclosed. A video stream is received. The video stream is displayed as a video in a window on a device display along with a link. The link includes a webpage uniform resource locator (URL). A selection of the link made by a user is received. The selection is made in response to a call to action. The video is rendered along with results of the link that was selected. Rendering of the results of the link includes a webpage associated with the webpage URL. The user can interact with the webpage while the video is being rendered. The video is reduced to render the video as a reduced video on a portion of the device display. The rendering the reduced video and webpage is accomplished without a popup window.
