Solution Overview

Problem

Current media information presentation methods are direct and non-user-selective, leading to reduced user experience and resource utilization, as media information is often inserted without user choice, such as unsolicited advertisements within content.

Innovation Solution

A method where an image file is received from a server, analyzed for key words, and used to determine relevant media information, which is then presented to the user as brief information, allowing the user to initiate the presentation of associated media files, thereby enhancing user control and experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If media information is directly inserted into content without user selection, then resource utilization is improved, but user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static, forced media presentation into a dynamic, user-controlled process. Users can initiate media playback by interacting with image files, and the system adapts by providing brief information previews before full media playback. This dynamic approach resolves the contradiction by making resource utilization dependent on actual user interest rather than forcing all media presentations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by displaying brief information about media content before the user commits to watching the full media. This allows users to preview and evaluate media relevance beforehand, ensuring that resource-intensive full media playback only occurs when users are genuinely interested, thus optimizing resource utilization while maintaining good user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If advertisements are inserted without user choice, then advertiser ROI is improved, but user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertiser ROIVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where user interactions with image files and brief information are tracked and analyzed. This feedback loop allows the system to learn user preferences and behavior patterns, enabling more targeted and relevant media recommendations that are more likely to be watched voluntarily, thereby improving advertiser ROI without compromising user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If media information is presented without user initiation, then resource utilization is improved, but user engagement deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent empowers users to self-select and initiate media playback based on their own interests and needs. Rather than the system forcing media presentations, users actively engage by interacting with image files and brief information to trigger media playback. This self-service approach ensures that resource-intensive media playback occurs only when users genuinely want to watch, simultaneously improving resource utilization and user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A non-transitory computer-readable medium is provided. The medium stores a program executable by a processor of a client to receive an image file from a server and present the image file to a user of the client. In response to an operation performed by the user on the image file, a media information presentation request is sent to the server. A notification message of to-be-presented media information is received from the server. The notification message includes brief information of the to-be-presented media information. The brief information is presented to the user of the client. A media file presentation request is sent to the server in response to an operation performed by the user on the brief information. A link address of a media file is received from the server. The media file according to the link address is obtained and presented to the user of the client.
