Solution Overview

Problem

The existing video playback systems require multiple page switches to view videos published by a video author, which is cumbersome and unfavorable for users.

Innovation Solution

A landscape interaction method that allows users to directly display a target-video list and switch to a personal homepage of the video author within the landscape playback page without leaving the landscape mode, simplifying operations by integrating video viewing controls and lists directly on the landscape playback page.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If 2D icons are used to display application programs, then the number of displayed icons is limited by screen area, but the user can quickly locate and operate icons in a two-dimensional space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen areaVSAvoidnumber of displayed icons
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from 2D icon display to 3D landscape display, adding a vertical dimension to the interface. Application programs are represented as three-dimensional objects that can be positioned at different heights and depths, effectively increasing the display capacity beyond what flat 2D screens can accommodate while maintaining intuitive user interaction

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

2Device complexity

If traditional menu systems are used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the user operation time increases and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structureVSAvoiduser operation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual copy of the real-world landscape environment within the electronic device interface. Users interact with three-dimensional objects that visually represent applications, files, and other data, allowing intuitive manipulation similar to physical objects rather than navigating through multiple menu layers, thereby reducing operation time without significantly increasing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-arranges three-dimensional objects in a logical spatial configuration that anticipates user needs. Frequently accessed applications can be positioned in prominent locations, and related items are spatially grouped, allowing users to locate and access information faster without requiring complex search procedures or multiple menu navigation steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Provided are a landscape interaction method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method includes: receiving a first trigger operation acting on a first display area of a landscape playback page, where the first display area includes a display area of author information of a current video author, and the current video author is a publisher of a first target video in the landscape playback page; and in response to the first trigger operation, displaying a target-video list of the current video author in a second display area of the landscape playback page, where the target-video list includes at least one video item of at least one target video published by the current video author.
