Foldable Display Video Playback Area Separation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The virtual keyboard interface covers a large area of the video playback interface, disrupting the normal viewing experience when users attempt to perform operations like inputting a bullet screen, dragging a progress bar, or setting video settings, as these operations overlay the video playback area completely, preventing users from watching videos effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for a foldable display screen that separates the video playback area from an auxiliary display area based on the video aspect ratio, allowing the video playback area to be displayed while providing an auxiliary area for controls like inputting a bullet screen, dragging a progress bar, or setting video settings without obstructing the video playback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a virtual keyboard interface is overlaid on the video playback interface to enable bullet screen input, then the ease of operation is improved, but the area available for video playback is reduced significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into multiple independent display areas, with the video playback interface occupying one area and the virtual keyboard interface occupying another area. This spatial segmentation allows both the video playback and bullet screen input functions to operate simultaneously without interfering with each other, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and video playback area.
2Ease of operation
If control interfaces for video operations are displayed over the video playback area, then the ease of operation is improved, but the video viewing experience is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The control interfaces (such as virtual keyboard, progress bar, and video settings) are displayed in a separate dimension or area from the video playback area. Instead of overlaying controls on top of the video content, the system utilizes additional display space to position these controls, allowing users to access video operations without the controls blocking or disrupting the video viewing experience.

AI summary
A method of playing a video, applied to a terminal having a foldable display screen, includes: displaying a video playback interface for a target video; determining a video playback area and an auxiliary display area other than the video playback area in an unfolded display area of the foldable display screen according to a video aspect ratio of the target video when the foldable display screen is in an unfolded state; and displaying an auxiliary control related to playing the target video in the auxiliary display area. In the unfolded state, the video playback area for playing the target video is separated from the auxiliary display area for operating the target video, such that the target video can still be played normally when the target video is operated on, thereby allowing the user to perform the operation while watching the video.
