Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulty in quickly acquiring relevant multimedia content due to the large number of search results displayed in relevance order, leading to low information acquisition efficiency.

Innovation Solution

An information display method that includes displaying an event context in a search result page with multimedia information and key information summaries, using different presentation forms to highlight key information, enabling rapid content acquisition and in-depth information access.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multimedia content is displayed in the search result in the order of relevance, then the completeness of search results is improved, but the user is unable to quickly acquire the multimedia content of interest, resulting in low information acquisition efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of search resultsVSAvoidinformation acquisition efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the large number of multimedia search results into organized groups or categories based on relevance and event context. By dividing the content into manageable segments with clear structural organization, users can quickly locate information of interest without being overwhelmed by the total volume of results, thus resolving the contradiction between result completeness and acquisition efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of information

If a large number of multimedia contents are displayed, then the coverage of search information is improved, but the user cannot quickly acquire content of interest due to information overload

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage of search informationVSAvoidtime to acquire content of interest
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-organizing and pre-processing multimedia content into structured event contexts with hierarchical relationships before display. Content is pre-categorized, tagged, and arranged in logical sequences based on relevance and importance, enabling users to immediately access information of interest without needing to manually filter through large volumes of unorganized results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If all multimedia content is presented in detail, then the comprehensiveness of information is improved, but the user reading burden increases and information consumption efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensiveness of informationVSAvoiduser reading burden
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic content presentation where the level of detail displayed adapts based on user interaction and context. The system provides hierarchical information display with summaries at higher levels and detailed content accessible upon user request, allowing the interface to dynamically adjust between comprehensive viewing and simplified browsing modes to reduce reading burden while maintaining information availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

An information display method and apparatus, a computer device and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: receiving search information; in response to the existence of a target event matching the search information, displaying an event context of the target event in a first area of a search result page. The event context includes a plurality of event nodes, a core content of each event node is presented through first multimedia information and first key information corresponding to the event node, the presentation form of the first key information is different from the presentation form of the first multimedia information, and the first key information is a summary of the first multimedia information.
