Solution Overview

Problem

Current video playback methods during live broadcasts are monotonous as they only allow for either video or text mode on the same live-broadcast page, lacking the ability to simultaneously play multiple videos in different modes, which limits user engagement and diversity.

Innovation Solution

A method where a client sends indication information to a server to play a target video in video mode and another target video in text mode simultaneously, receiving and playing both video and text data on a live-broadcast page, enabling the simultaneous display of multiple videos in different formats on the same page.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a video client performs live broadcast in a single video playing mode or text playing mode, then the system complexity is low and operation is simple, but the function of playing live-broadcast videos on the same page is monotonous and cannot meet the requirement of playing multiple videos simultaneously

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction of playing live-broadcast videosVSAvoidvideo playing mode
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the live broadcast content into multiple independent video streams that can be played simultaneously on the same page. Each video stream is treated as a separate playable entity, allowing users to watch multiple live broadcasts at once without switching between different pages or modes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent makes the live broadcast page capable of supporting multiple playback modes (video and text) simultaneously on the same page. The system is designed to handle both video playing mode and text playing mode in parallel, enabling the page to serve multiple functions at once.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If the video client allows simultaneous playback of multiple live-broadcast videos in different modes on the same page, then the function versatility is enhanced, but the switching operation becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimultaneous playback capabilityVSAvoidlive broadcast switching operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple video playback functionalities into a single unified page interface. Instead of requiring separate pages or complex navigation for different video streams, the system combines multiple playback windows and controls into one integrated view, simplifying user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of simultaneous playback by allowing multiple video streams to coexist on the same page in different spatial regions or modes. This transforms the traditional single-video-at-a-time interface into a multi-dimensional playback space where users can view multiple streams concurrently.

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

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a video playing method performed at a client. The method includes: sending, by the client, first indication information to a server, the first indication information being used to instruct to play, in video mode, a first target video to be live broadcast, and instruct to play, in text mode, a second target video to be live broadcast; receiving, by the client, first live-broadcast data sent by the server, the first live-broadcast data including video data of the first target video and text data of the second target video; and simultaneously playing, by the client, the video data of the first target video and the text data of the second target video on a second live-broadcast page. The embodiments of the present disclosure resolve a problem in the related technology that a function of playing live-broadcast videos on a same live-broadcast page is monotonous.
