Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional live streaming platforms lack efficient mechanisms for users to actively participate in interactions, leading to reduced engagement and interest in live streaming content.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a multimedia content area in the live streaming interface that includes sharing entries for associated multimedia content, such as highlights and related content, along with various sharing options, to enhance user interaction and engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional live streaming interface is used, then the interface structure is simple, but user interaction and engagement are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactionVSAvoidinterface structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The live streaming interface is segmented into multiple functional regions including a multimedia content area displaying highlights, a sharing area with multiple sharing entries, and a comment area. This segmentation allows users to interact with different content types through dedicated interfaces, enhancing engagement without overwhelming the user with a monolithic complex interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a temporal dimension to the live streaming experience by displaying historical highlights and key moments from the stream in chronological order within the multimedia content area. This transforms the traditionally linear live stream into a multi-dimensional experience where users can access both real-time content and past highlights, increasing interaction opportunities.

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

2Productivity

If multimedia content area with sharing entries is added, then user interaction probability increases, but interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction probabilityVSAvoidinterface structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sharing area implements multi-functionality by providing multiple sharing entries that support different sharing methods (social media platforms, messaging apps, copying links) within a single unified interface component. This allows one area to serve multiple interaction purposes, increasing productivity without proportionally increasing overall interface complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically generates and displays relevant multimedia highlights and sharing content based on the live stream context, reducing the need for manual interface configuration. The interface adapts to user needs by automatically presenting relevant content and sharing options, thereby increasing interaction probability while keeping the interface structure manageable through automated content curation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

According to an embodiment of the invention, a method for live streaming interactions and apparatus, device, and storage medium are provided. The method comprises: presenting, in response to an access request for a target live streaming room, a live streaming interface for providing live streaming content; and presenting a target area in the live streaming interface, the target area providing a set of multimedia contents associated with the live streaming content, wherein the multimedia contents correspond to respective time instants related to the live streaming content, and the target area comprises a sharing entry corresponding to each multimedia content. In this manner, embodiments in the present disclosure may provide related multimedia content in a live streaming room (for example, text or video content about a highlight of the live streaming), thereby helping to increase interest in the live streaming room.
