Feed Audio Preview Playback for Faster Content Push

Resolve Bottlenecks,
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing audio program push platforms have low content push efficiency, resulting in poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

Implementing an audio playing method that plays an audio clip initially and allows users to switch to the complete audio upon performing a preset operation, with visual cues and controls to guide users, and supports publishing audio clips with visual content for easy access.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If complete audio is played for browsing users, then user experience is improved, but content push efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser experienceVSAvoidcontent push efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The audio content is segmented into two parts: an audio clip (preview) and complete audio. The system first pushes the audio clip to users for quick browsing, and only provides the complete audio when users show interest by performing preset operations. This segmentation allows efficient content pushing while maintaining good user experience.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by playing audio clips before the complete audio. Users first encounter and evaluate the audio clip, and only those who are interested proceed to play the complete audio. This preliminary filtering improves content push efficiency by avoiding unnecessary delivery of full content to uninterested users.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If audio clip is played initially, then content push efficiency is improved, but user engagement depth deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent push efficiencyVSAvoiduser engagement

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The audio clip serves as an intermediary between the complete audio content and the user. It is a simplified version that allows users to quickly assess interest without committing to the full content. This intermediary enables efficient content pushing while preserving the option for deeper engagement through the complete audio.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements dynamic content delivery: audio clips are played initially for all users, and the complete audio is dynamically provided only to users who perform preset operations indicating interest. This dynamic adjustment optimizes both content push efficiency and user engagement depth.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If visual content with audio clip is published, then accessibility is improved, but information completeness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveaccessibilityVSAvoidinformation completeness

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a visual content copy that contains the audio clip, which is then published in the feed. This visual copy provides accessibility to users browsing the feed, while the complete audio information remains available in the original audio content for users who want full information.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying
