Landscape Video Playback Switching on Portrait Mobile Screens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Horizontal videos are constrained to a small area in a portrait view, leading to a poor user consumption experience due to the inability to rotate the horizontal screen for full-screen playback.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a landscape access control on the playback page for horizontal videos, allowing a click operation to transition to a landscape display page for full-screen viewing, and enabling switching operations within this page.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If horizontal video is displayed on a vertical screen, then the video can be viewed on mobile devices, but the video occupies only a small area causing poor consumption experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a dimension switch mechanism that allows transition between portrait and landscape display modes. When landscape mode is activated, the display orientation changes from vertical to horizontal, enabling full-screen playback of horizontal videos and significantly increasing the video display area while maintaining device compatibility
2Area of stationary object
If the screen is rotated to landscape mode for full-screen playback, then the video display area increases, but the operation becomes more complex requiring mode switching
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the video orientation type and provides appropriate display mode recommendations. For horizontal videos, the landscape mode is automatically suggested or activated, reducing the need for manual user intervention and simplifying the operation while maximizing the display area
3Area of stationary object
If landscape display mode is enabled for horizontal videos, then full-screen playback is achieved, but the user interface layout must be reconfigured
Solution Approach 1:
The user interface is designed to be dynamic and adaptive, automatically reconfiguring the layout based on the detected display mode and video orientation. In landscape mode, the interface elements such as tab bars and control buttons are automatically positioned and sized appropriately, eliminating the need for manual layout adjustments while maximizing video playback area

AI summary
A method and an apparatus for displaying video, an electronic device, and a medium, where the method includes: under a condition that a display type of a target video is a horizontal video, displaying a landscape access control on a playback page of the target video; in response to detecting a click operation on the landscape access control, displaying a landscape display page of the target video and displaying the target video on the landscape display page; and in response to detecting a switching operation for the landscape display page, displaying a switched video on the landscape display page. This method realizes the full-screen viewing of the horizontal video in the vertical screen player, and improves the viewing experience for the user.
