Solution Overview

Problem

Existing web platforms require users to navigate multiple areas to gather information, leading to inefficiencies, increased network and computing resource consumption, and prolonged information retrieval times, degrading user satisfaction.

Innovation Solution

Creating interactive videos in the form of series of HTML pages that allow users to interact with embedded HTML links and elements, reducing the need to visit multiple web pages, thereby conserving network and computing resources and decreasing loading and buffering times.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users visit multiple areas within the web platform to gather information, then users can access comprehensive information, but network resources and bandwidth are constantly consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidnetwork resources consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple web pages into a single interactive video player interface. Users can access various types of information (statistics, account balance, trade instructions) that were previously spread across multiple separate web pages within one unified video player, eliminating the need to navigate between different URLs and reducing network resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The video player is designed as a universal interface that performs multiple functions: displaying video content, showing statistics, checking account balance, providing trade instructions, and enabling user interactions. This multi-functional design consolidates what were previously separate platform areas into a single versatile tool.

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

2Loss of information

If users visit multiple locations within the web platform, then users can find all needed information, but computing resources are consumed to process all user requests

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidcomputing resources consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-loads and caches various types of information (video content, statistics, account data, trade instructions) within the video player before users need to access them. This preliminary action reduces the computing resources required during user interaction, as the data is already available in memory rather than requiring real-time requests to multiple server locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The video player acts as an intermediary between the user and the underlying web platform. It provides a localized interface that mediates user requests, consolidating data from multiple platform areas into a single manageable structure that reduces the overall computing burden on the server.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If users navigate through multiple web pages to obtain information, then users can access detailed content, but time to obtain meaningful information significantly increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidinformation retrieval time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the video player interface into multiple functional panels (video display panel, statistics panel, account information panel, trade instruction panel) that can be independently configured and displayed. This segmentation allows users to access specific types of information quickly without navigating through entire web pages, reducing information retrieval time while maintaining comprehensive content availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A device configured to determine a time on a progress bar and to identify a timestamp in the video timing map based on the time on the progress bar. The device is further configured to identify a source scene identifier corresponding with the identified timestamp and to play a video scene corresponding with the identified source scene identifier. The device is further configured to identify a first animation identifier corresponding with the identified timestamp and to play a first animation associated with the first animation identifier. The device is further configured to determine that the first animation identifier is present in the audio sample buffer, to identify an audio sample associated with the first animation identifier, and to play the identified audio sample.
