Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for favoriting videos are undiversified, lacking variety in how users can interact with and organize media content.

Innovation Solution

An interaction method and apparatus that allows users to add media content to a collection based on specific interactive operations, such as liking or commenting, by performing a trigger operation, enabling the creation of diverse ways to organize and favorite media content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users perform traditional favorite operations on media content, then the favorite function is achieved, but the interaction way is undiversified

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction wayVSAvoidoperation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables a single trigger operation to achieve multiple interaction outcomes. When a user performs a trigger operation (e.g., clicking a button), the system can interpret this as different intentions based on the current context, such as adding to collection, liking, or commenting. This multi-functional approach diversifies interaction ways without requiring separate operations for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the function of a trigger operation based on the current state and context. The same trigger operation can have different effects depending on the media content type, user state, or interface configuration. This dynamic interpretation allows one operation to serve multiple purposes, enhancing versatility while maintaining operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple separate operations are provided for favoriting media content, then the interaction way is diversified, but the operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction wayVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of providing separate operations for each favorite-related function, the patent uses a single universal trigger operation that can achieve multiple outcomes. The system determines the specific function based on context, such as the type of media content, the current interface state, or associated parameters, thereby maintaining operational simplicity while achieving functional diversity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary layer (the trigger operation mechanism) that mediates between the user's simple input and the complex underlying functions. This intermediary translates a single trigger operation into different actionable outcomes based on context, shielding the user from operational complexity while providing versatile interaction capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an interaction method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method includes: receiving a first trigger operation, where the first trigger operation is associated with at least one piece of media content that is media content on which a current user has performed a first interactive operation; and adding the at least one piece of media content to a media content collection in response to the first trigger operation, where the media content collection is a collection of at least part of media content on which the current user has performed a second interactive operation.
