Solution Overview

Problem

Current video playing applications or video players provide only a single video in a playing interface without additional information, lacking convenient and rich functions, which affects user experience.

Innovation Solution

A display method and apparatus that allows multiple target sub-videos to be played sequentially on a user interface alongside displayed images, enabling users to jump to associated target information by triggering an image, thus simplifying operations and enhancing user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a single video is displayed in the playing interface, then the interface is simple and easy to operate, but the user experience is poor and lacks rich functions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface simplicityVSAvoidfunctionality richness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple videos and images into a single playing interface, where the video playing area displays target sub-videos and the image display area shows corresponding target images. This merging of multiple content types into one interface achieves both simplicity (one interface) and richness (multiple videos and images), resolving the technical contradiction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The playing interface is designed with multi-functionality, serving as both a video player and an image display system. The interface can play multiple target sub-videos sequentially while displaying corresponding images, and users can interact with either videos or images, making the interface universal and adaptable to different content types.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple videos and images are displayed in the playing interface, then the user experience is enhanced and functions are enriched, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctionality richnessVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the playing interface into distinct functional areas: a video playing area for displaying target sub-videos and an image display area for showing target images. This segmentation organizes the multiple content types in a structured manner, reducing perceived complexity while maintaining functionality richness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a correspondence relationship between videos and images as an intermediary structure. Each target sub-video has a corresponding target image, creating a structured linkage that simplifies the interface logic. Users interact with either videos or images, and the system automatically manages the correspondence, reducing the complexity of managing multiple independent content items.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If users manually search for and screen content associated with a target image, then complete information can be obtained, but the operation process is tedious and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidoperation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-establishing the correspondence relationship between target sub-videos and target images before user interaction. The system pre-organizes the content structure so that when users trigger an image, the corresponding video information is immediately available. This preliminary organization eliminates the need for users to manually search or screen through content, significantly reducing operation time while maintaining information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A display method, apparatus, device and storage medium, the method includes: displaying a user interface for playing a target video (S101), where the user interface includes an image display area, and the target video includes multiple target sub-videos; playing each target sub-video in the target video sequentially on the user interface while displaying multiple images in the image display area (S102), where the multiple target sub-videos respectively correspond to the multiple images displayed in the image display area; and in response to a first triggering operation acting on a target image in the image display area, jumping to and displaying target information associated with the target image (S103), where the target image includes any image displayed in the image display area. The method can provide users with convenient operations to realize multi-functionalization, thereby meeting their needs and enhancing their operational experience.
