Solution Overview

Problem

Current multimedia technologies for video playback interfaces limit the dimensions of comment information, resulting in a poor interactive experience and low human-computer interaction rates due to the limited nature of text or image-based comment information.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that display comment information with a video clip playback control, allowing users to input and match comment content with relevant video clips, enabling the playback of target video clips within the comment interface, thereby expanding the information dimension and enhancing user interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If comment information is limited to text or image format, then the comment interface is simple and easy to operate, but the information dimension is limited and interactive experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation dimensionVSAvoidcomment interface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges video clip functionality with comment information display, combining two previously separate features (video playback and comment viewing) into a unified interface. This allows users to watch video clips directly within the comment section without navigating away, thereby expanding information dimension while maintaining interface simplicity through integration rather than addition of separate controls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The comment interface is enhanced to serve multiple functions: displaying traditional text/image comments, presenting video clip information, and enabling video playback control. This multi-functionality allows a single interface to provide diverse interaction modes (text-based and video-based) without requiring separate interfaces, thus improving information dimension while managing complexity through unified design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If video clip playback control is added to comment information, then interactive experience is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive experienceVSAvoidcomment interface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Video playback controls are merged into the comment information display area, allowing users to interact with video clips directly where comments are viewed. This integration improves ease of operation by eliminating the need to switch between separate video and comment interfaces, while managing complexity through unified control mechanisms that leverage existing interface patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically matches and retrieves relevant video clips based on comment content, reducing the need for manual video search or selection. This self-service approach improves interactive experience by providing contextually relevant video content automatically, while minimizing the complexity of manual video management operations for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A comment information display method is provided. In the method, a video and a comment interface are displayed. A video clip matching result of a comment content that is input via the comment interface is obtained. Target comment information including a video clip playback control element in the comment interface is displayed based on the video clip matching result including a target video clip that matches the comment content. The target video clip is played back based on a user selection of the video clip playback control element in the comment interface.
