Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in quickly and conveniently using props within multimedia content applications, leading to a lack of guidance for creation and interaction, which reduces engagement and increases operational complexity.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for dynamically displaying prop icons within publisher icons during multimedia content playback, allowing users to create new content or activate virtual live studios with props, simplifying the process through animations and intuitive interface interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users are provided with multiple props in multimedia content, then the multimedia content can be presented in a colorful way and users can create new content, but users face difficulties in quickly and conveniently using the props

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemultimedia content presentation capabilityVSAvoidprop usage convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and analyzes the multimedia content to automatically identify relevant props before the user needs to use them. By performing this analysis in advance, the system prepares the prop information ready for display, eliminating the need for users to manually search or navigate through multiple menus to find props, thus resolving the contradiction between providing diverse prop functionality and maintaining ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary mechanism (the dynamic icon display in the publisher icon) that bridges the multimedia content and the props. Instead of requiring users to directly access prop libraries or settings, the system uses the dynamic icon as a mediator that visually represents available props and provides direct access to them, simplifying the interaction while maintaining access to diverse prop functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the application provides guidance for prop usage, then user engagement and interaction increase, but the interface complexity and operational steps increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagement and interactionVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses color changes and visual transformations of the publisher icon to provide guidance and information about available props. By encoding prop information in visual changes (such as icon transformation, color updates, or animation patterns), the system communicates rich information to users without requiring additional text labels, buttons, or complex interface elements, thus increasing engagement while maintaining interface simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs dynamic icon transformation that responds to user interaction state and content context. The publisher icon dynamically changes its appearance based on the multimedia content being played and the available props, providing contextual guidance without requiring static interface elements or additional UI components. This dynamic approach enhances user understanding and engagement while avoiding interface complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The invention relates to a method, apparatus and electronic device of page display for application. The method comprises: receiving a play instruction for a multimedia content in an application, wherein the multimedia content is configured with a target prop, and the target prop is used for influencing the playing effect of the multimedia content; in response to the play instruction, in a playing page of the application, playing the multimedia content, and dynamically displaying an icon of the target prop in an icon of a publisher, the publisher being used for creating a new multimedia content configured with the target prop and/or turning on a new virtual live studio configured with the target prop.
