Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a single interaction information display scheme is used for hot events, then the device complexity is reduced, but the efficiency of obtaining relevant video data by users is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of obtaining relevant video dataVSAvoidinformation display scheme complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The information display interface is segmented into multiple functional regions: a first region displaying event identification information of candidate hot events, and a second region displaying video identification information corresponding to selected hot events. This segmentation allows users to efficiently access video data by first selecting a hot event and then selecting specific video content, thereby improving information retrieval efficiency without requiring complex multi-step interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The information display interface is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it displays event information, video information, and provides selection capabilities for both hot events and their associated videos. The interface can adaptively adjust the display states of different regions based on user interactions, making a single interface serve multiple purposes and improving overall system efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple candidate video identifications are displayed with selected and unselected states, then the adaptability of the interface is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface adaptabilityVSAvoidinterface structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface employs dynamic display states for different regions. The first region displays event identification information in a first display state, while the second region displays video identification information in a second display state that is visually distinct. When users interact with the interface by selecting hot events or videos, the display states dynamically adjust to reflect the selection status, providing adaptability without requiring complex structural changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If the information aggregation interface displays both event and video identifications, then the ease of operation is improved, but the area required for display increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of accessing video dataVSAvoiddisplay interface area
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The interface utilizes spatial dimensionality effectively by arranging event identification information and video identification information in different regions of the display. The first region is configured for displaying event-level information while the second region displays video-level information. This dimensional arrangement allows users to access both types of information within a compact interface area, improving ease of operation without significantly increasing the required display space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

The present application discloses a video playing method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable medium. The method includes: when an information aggregation interface is displayed on the electronic device, displaying event identification information of at least one candidate hot event on the information aggregation interface, so that when the event identification information of a first hot event of the candidate hot events is in a selected state, at least one candidate video identification corresponding to the first hot event is further displayed on the information aggregation interface, and the candidate video identifications can indicate which video data is associated with the first hot event; and when a first video identification of the candidate video identifications is in a selected state, video data corresponding to the first video identification is played on the information aggregation interface, so that the video data can reflect relevant content of the first hot event. Therefore, the purpose of displaying, to a user, video data corresponding to a hot event can be achieved, which is conductive to enhancing the user experience.
