Solution Overview

Problem

Users watching a live streaming video in one room desire to seamlessly view live streaming videos in other rooms without interrupting their current viewing experience.

Innovation Solution

A display method and apparatus that includes displaying an object aggregation interface on a live streaming video page in response to a user operation, showcasing candidate objects with category description information, allowing users to switch between live streaming videos within and across categories through interactive controls.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users switch from one live streaming video to another by manually searching, then they can view different live streaming rooms, but the viewing experience is interrupted and time is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of switching between live streaming videosVSAvoidtime lost during manual search
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-fetches and caches live streaming video data from multiple rooms before the user needs to switch. When a user views a live streaming video, the system proactively retrieves data from other recommended rooms in advance, so that when switching is needed, the data is already available, eliminating manual search time and maintaining continuous viewing experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces a recommendation mechanism as an intermediary between the user's current viewing and potential alternative streams. This intermediary pre-processes and organizes data from multiple rooms, presenting curated options to users rather than requiring manual browsing, thus reducing switching time while improving ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If the system displays detailed information about multiple live streaming videos, then users can make informed viewing choices, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation about candidate live streaming videosVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the display of candidate live streaming video information into hierarchical levels: basic information (thumbnail, title, viewer count) is always visible, while detailed information (streamer profile, stream content, interactive features) is organized into expandable sections or separate panels. This segmentation preserves comprehensive information while maintaining a clean, non-overwhelming interface structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The interface dynamically adapts its complexity based on user interaction. Initially, only essential information is displayed to maintain simplicity. When users show interest in specific candidates (e.g., hovering, tapping), the system dynamically expands to reveal additional details. This dynamic behavior ensures information completeness is available on demand without permanently increasing interface complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The present application discloses a display method and apparatus, and electronic device, and a computer readable medium. The method comprises: when a client is displaying a livestreaming video page and a first livestreaming video is displayed on the livestreaming video page, displaying an object aggregation interface on the livestreaming video page after the client receives a first operation triggered for the livestreaming video page, wherein a first candidate object corresponding to first category description information is displayed on the object aggregation interface, and the first candidate object is used for describing a first candidate livestreaming video; and then, after the client receives a trigger operation for a first control on the object aggregation interface, displaying at least one piece of second category description information on the object aggregation interface, so that a user views livestreaming videos under a plurality of categories by means of the object aggregation interface. Therefore, the livestreaming viewing requirement of the user can be better satisfied, and the livestreaming video viewing experience of the user can be effectively improved.
