Floating Window for Video Introduction on Mobile Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video play applications on mobile devices provide a complex and inefficient user experience for learning about video content, requiring multiple taps and loading unnecessary information, leading to network stalling and high traffic consumption.
Innovation Solution
A floating window displayed on the poster browsing page allows users to quickly view video introduction information by selecting a poster, including text and image content, with controls for playback, sharing, and favorites, reducing the need for multiple page transitions and minimizing network load.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user taps a poster to access video details page, then the user can view video information, but the interaction process becomes complex and inefficient requiring multiple taps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by displaying video introduction information in a floating window that appears immediately when the user taps a poster. This pre-presents the information the user will need without requiring navigation to a separate details page, thereby reducing interaction steps and time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the video information display by separating it into two parts: the main poster browsing interface and a floating window overlay. This segmentation allows the introduction information to be displayed independently in the floating window while the user remains on the poster browsing page, avoiding full page transitions and reducing operational complexity.
2Loss of information
If the video details page loads all video information including unrelated content, then comprehensive information is available, but network traffic consumption increases and network stalling occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential video introduction information needed for user decision-making and displays it in the floating window. Unnecessary detailed information is excluded from the floating window display, thereby reducing network traffic consumption while still providing sufficient information for users to evaluate videos without loading complete details pages.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by loading and displaying only the critical portion of video information (introduction/summary) in the floating window rather than all available video details. This partial information suffices for users to make viewing decisions, avoiding the network overhead of loading complete video detail pages for every poster tap.

AI summary
An information display method is disclosed. The method may include: displaying, by a terminal, at least one poster in a first display area of a screen (S101); receiving, by the terminal, a first input used to select a poster from the at least one poster (S 102); and obtaining, by the terminal, story line introduction information associated with a target video, and displaying a first window in a suspended manner in the first display area, where the first window displays the story line introduction information associated with the target video, and the target video is a video represented by the poster selected through the first input (SI03). The foregoing method helps a user quickly learn of a target video during video browsing on a video website. This is quite convenient and efficient.
