Solution Overview

Problem

Users watching a live streaming video in a particular room face challenges in seamlessly switching to view live streaming videos from another room.

Innovation Solution

A display method and apparatus that includes displaying an object aggregation interface on the live streaming video page in response to a user operation, featuring first candidate objects describing candidate live streaming videos and controls for category switching, allowing users to switch between different live streaming categories and videos.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a user is watching a live streaming video in a particular room, then the user can view the current live streaming content, but the user cannot easily view live streaming videos from other rooms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to view multiple live streaming roomsVSAvoiddifficulty in switching between live streaming rooms
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the live streaming interface by introducing an object aggregation interface that displays multiple candidate objects (live streaming videos from different rooms) separately from the current playback area. This segmentation allows users to access multiple rooms without leaving the current viewing context, thereby improving versatility while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The object aggregation interface acts as an intermediary between the current live streaming playback and other available live streaming rooms. It provides a bridge that allows users to discover and switch to other rooms seamlessly, resolving the contradiction by making the switching process intuitive and easy to operate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If an object aggregation interface is displayed showing multiple candidate live streaming videos, then users can navigate to other rooms, but the current live streaming video view may be blocked or obscured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to access multiple live streaming categoriesVSAvoidinformation blocking of current live streaming video
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves the information blocking issue by transitioning the object aggregation interface to a different spatial dimension - specifically, a bottom sheet that slides up from the bottom of the screen. This dimensional change allows the aggregation interface to coexist with the current live streaming video display without obscuring it, as the bottom sheet occupies a separate visual layer that does not block the main content area.

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

3Loss of information

If category description information is displayed on the object aggregation interface, then users can identify different live streaming categories, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisibility of category informationVSAvoidcomplexity of object aggregation interface
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the category description information expandable and collapsible based on user interaction. The first category description information is displayed by default, and additional second category description information can be expanded upon user request. This dynamic behavior allows the interface to maintain simplicity when not needed while providing comprehensive category information when required, thus balancing information visibility with interface complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
