Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for favoriting media content, such as videos, offer a narrow selection of ways for users to organize and manage their favorites.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allow users to add media content to a favorites list and display a favorites folder list with identifiers, enabling media content to be directly added to specific folders through trigger operations on these identifiers, along with options for creating new folders and displaying additional folder information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users can only add media content to a general favorites list, then the system is simple to operate, but the organization and management capabilities are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The favorites list is segmented into multiple folders, allowing users to organize media content into different categories. The system displays a favorites folder list with identifiers, enabling users to add content to specific folders rather than a single undifferentiated list, thus improving organization capability while maintaining manageable complexity through structured division
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a folder dimension to the traditional flat favorites list structure. By adding this organizational dimension with foldable folder lists and identifiers, the system enables multi-level organization without significantly increasing operational complexity, as users interact with familiar list-based interfaces extended into hierarchical folders
2Adaptability or versatility
If users can add media content to multiple folders, then the organization flexibility is improved, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically adding media content to a favorites list upon user request, then subsequently displaying the favorites folder list for further organization. This two-stage approach allows flexible folder selection while maintaining operational simplicity, as the initial favoriting action remains straightforward and folder assignment follows as an optional refinement step
Solution Approach 2:
The favorites list serves as an intermediary between the media content and the folder structure. Users first add content to the favorites list, then the system mediates by presenting folder options, allowing flexible organization without requiring users to directly navigate complex folder hierarchies, thus maintaining ease of operation while enabling versatile organization

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for favoriting media content, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method includes: in response to a favorite operation for media content, adding the media content to a media content favorites list of a current user and displaying a favorites folder list of the current user, where the favorites folder list is configured to display a first identifier of at least part of favorites folders of the current user; and in response to a trigger operation for the first identifier, adding the media content to a favorites folder corresponding to the first identifier on which the trigger operation acts.
