Solution Overview

Problem

Current video playback systems require cumbersome two-page switches for users to view videos published by the current video author during landscape playback, disrupting the user experience.

Innovation Solution

A landscape interaction method and apparatus that allows users to view a list of videos published by the current video author directly on the landscape playback page by triggering a display area with author information, eliminating the need for page switches and enabling continuous video playback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users click on controls to view other videos by the current author during landscape playback, then users can access the author's video list, but users must switch between landscape playback page and portrait playback page twice, making operations cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo browsing operationVSAvoidpage switching process
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the author video list display function into the landscape playback page itself. When users trigger the author information area during landscape playback, the system displays the author's video list within the same landscape page without requiring page switches. This combines the video playback function and author profile viewing function into a single integrated interface, eliminating the need to switch between landscape and portrait modes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the dimensional arrangement of the interface by displaying the author video list in a second display area of the landscape page rather than transitioning to a separate portrait page. This spatial reorganization allows multiple functions (video playback and author profile viewing) to coexist in the same dimensional space (landscape mode), reducing operational complexity.

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

2Loss of information

If users switch to portrait playback page to view author videos, then users can see the video list, but the current video playback is interrupted and user experience is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo playback continuityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent prepares the author video list for display within the landscape playback page in advance. When users trigger the author information area, the system has the video list ready to display in the second display area of the same landscape page, ensuring continuous video playback without interruption. This preliminary preparation of the display layout maintains playback continuity while providing access to author videos.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent ensures that video playback continues uninterrupted while users browse the author's video list. By displaying the video list within the landscape playback page rather than switching pages, the system maintains the continuous playback of the current video while allowing users to simultaneously view and select other videos from the same author, preserving the continuity of the useful action (video playback).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful 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.
