Floating Layer Video Preview for Feed Stream Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current small video Feed stream technologies require users to click on a video cover to enter a new playing page for viewing, causing inconvenience as only one cover is displayed at a time, making it difficult for users to preview and filter content efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for previewing videos by determining the first video cover fully displayed on the screen, playing it on the current screen through a floating layer player, and allowing users to jump to a subpage for full playback upon clicking, with options to sequence play other videos and loop playback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users click on video cover to enter playing page for viewing, then users can watch video content, but users cannot efficiently preview and filter multiple videos
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a floating layer player that overlays the current feed stream page, adding a new dimensional layer for video playback. This allows video content to be displayed in a third dimension (the floating layer) without requiring users to navigate to a separate playing page, thereby enabling efficient previewing while maintaining the original page context.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically plays video content in the floating layer when the user hovers over or selects a video cover, performing the preview action beforehand. This preliminary playback allows users to filter videos based on content before deciding to watch fully, saving time by avoiding entry into the playing page for mere previewing purposes.
2Productivity
If only one video cover is displayed at a time, then the display structure is simple, but users cannot efficiently filter content
Solution Approach 1:
The floating layer player serves multiple functions: it displays video preview content, allows pausing and stopping, and provides a bridge between the feed stream page and the full playing page. This multi-functional component enables efficient content filtering without requiring a completely redesigned display structure, maintaining relative simplicity while enhancing productivity.
3Loss of information
If users enter playing page to watch video, then users can view video content, but users lose the current screen context
Solution Approach 1:
The floating layer player is nested within the current feed stream page, creating a nested display structure where the video playback interface is contained within the original context. Users can view video content while still seeing the surrounding feed stream elements, maintaining spatial context and reducing navigation complexity. The floating layer can be dismissed to return to the original page state.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an apparatus for previewing video, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: determining a first video corresponding to the first video cover fully displayed in a current screen when stop of a slide on the screen is detected; playing the first video on the current screen for user previewing; jumping to a subpage corresponding to the first video and playing the first video on the subpage when a click operation to the first video is detected. According to this disclosure, users can know the specific content of the video during the previewing process, so as to determine whether they are interested in the video. If they are not interested, the uses may skip it directly and continue watching the next video; else, the users may click the video to further watch the full video content, so that the users can intuitively filter the watching contents, thereby improving the user experience.
