Solution Overview

Problem

Current information search methods are cumbersome and inefficient as they require users to manually scroll through or select between different types of search results, making it difficult to view multiple types of search results simultaneously.

Innovation Solution

An information display method and apparatus that receives search information, acquires target videos and structured information, and generates separate search result pages for videos and structured information, with the structured information page displayed above the video page, allowing for simultaneous viewing of various search results by overlaying the video page with a popover and adjusting the display based on user interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If search results are displayed one by one in list form requiring manual scrolling or tab selection, then the display method is simple and easy to implement, but the operation becomes cumbersome and search efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of viewing search resultsVSAvoidsearch efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The search results are segmented into different types (videos and structured information) and displayed in separate layers. The video search results are displayed in the background layer while structured information results are displayed in the foreground layer, allowing users to view multiple types of results simultaneously without manual switching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a spatial dimension by overlaying different types of search results in different layers (foreground and background). This dimensional change allows users to access multiple result types simultaneously by simply scrolling, transforming the traditional single-layer sequential display into a multi-layer parallel display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If multiple types of search results are displayed simultaneously using overlay pages, then search efficiency improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch efficiencyVSAvoiddisplay structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The overlay page mechanism serves multiple functions: it displays structured information results, provides navigation between different result types, and maintains the ability to switch to full-screen video playback. This multi-functional design achieves complex display needs without proportionally increasing system complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The structured information results are nested within the overlay page structure, which itself is nested within the main search result display framework. This nested organization allows the system to manage multiple layers of information display in a hierarchical manner, reducing overall structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

An information display method and apparatus, a computer device and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: receiving search information; acquiring at least one target video corresponding to the search information and structured information corresponding to the search information, the structured information provides a key content for answering the search information; generating a first search result page and a second search result page, the first search result page is used for displaying the target videos, and the second search result page is used for displaying the structured information; and loading the first search result page and the second search result page, the second search result page being located above the first search result page.
