Highlight Information Entry Points for Seamless Long Video Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video recommendation methods for long videos, such as movies and TV dramas, are unsatisfactory as they require complex jump operations between short and long video formats, affecting user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that receive and display highlight information corresponding to predetermined playback positions in long videos, allowing users to seamlessly watch long videos by using highlight information as an entry point, reducing the need for additional video segments storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If highlights are clipped into short videos and distributed in recommendation streams, then users can quickly access attractive fragments, but complex jump operations between short and long videos are required which affects user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the long video into multiple highlight fragments with predetermined playback positions. Each highlight is a discrete segment that can be independently accessed and played back within the context of the full video, allowing users to jump to specific segments without complex operations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-processing the long video to identify and mark highlight fragments with their corresponding playback positions before distribution. This pre-organization of content allows users to directly access highlights without requiring complex jump operations, as the entry points are already prepared and marked
2Productivity
If short video highlights are used for recommendation, then users can watch attractive fragments, but the distribution effect for long videos remains unsatisfactory
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses highlight fragments as intermediaries between the recommendation system and the long video content. These highlights serve as mediators that attract users to long videos while maintaining the ability to watch condensed versions, thus improving long video distribution effectiveness without sacrificing recommendation productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the video content universal by providing multiple viewing modes: users can watch full long videos, skip to highlight fragments, or watch shortened versions. This multi-functionality ensures that the same content serves both short video recommendation needs and long video distribution goals simultaneously
3Adaptability or versatility
If jump operations are required between short and long videos, then highlight access is enabled, but user experience in long video playback is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic playback where the video player can seamlessly switch between different viewing modes (full video, highlight fragments, shortened versions) based on user interaction. This dynamic adaptation maintains playback continuity by smoothly transitioning between formats without disrupting the user experience
Data Source
AI summary
A video recommendation method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: receiving highlight information of a target video, wherein the quantity of the highlight information is at least one, and the highlight information corresponds to a predetermined playback position in the target video; and displaying the highlight information, and after receiving a triggering operation of a user on the basis of the highlight information, playing the target video. By using the technical solution, a playback position corresponding to a clip or highlight point in a long video can be taken as a starting point in the highlight information, a user is guided to browse the long video, so that the user can acquire the highlight content of the long video at a fastest speed, and watch the long video seamlessly.
