Media Content Swipe-Trigger Regions for Lower-Cost Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video playback systems require complex operations like long-pressing and clicking to provide interactive feedback, making it difficult to understand and execute controls such as 'Not Interested' on video content.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that displays a preset event trigger region on a video playback page in response to swiping, allowing users to trigger events like 'Not Interested' or 'Interested' through intuitive swiping gestures, with visual and tactile feedback to confirm the action.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a popup panel with hidden controls is used for interactive feedback, then the video content can be protected from accidental interaction, but the operation cost increases and user understanding becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the feedback trigger function from the hidden popup panel and integrates it directly into the video content area. When users swipe or click on the video content itself, the system directly triggers the feedback event without requiring users to first open a popup panel. This extracts the essential interaction function from the complex multi-step process and simplifies it to a single direct action on the video content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the video content display area with the feedback trigger area. The video content and the interactive feedback mechanism are combined into a single integrated interface, where the video content itself serves as both the display medium and the interaction trigger. This eliminates the need for separate popup panels and reduces the operational steps required for feedback.
2Reliability
If a popup panel is used to hide the 'Not Interested' control, then the video content is protected, but the control becomes difficult to understand and locate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the video content area itself interactive rather than hiding controls in a separate panel. The interactivity is locally integrated into the video content display area, allowing users to provide feedback directly by interacting with the video content. This maintains the protective function while improving control visibility and understandability.
Solution Approach 2:
The video content area serves itself by being both the display medium and the interaction trigger. The video content automatically responds to user interactions (swiping, clicking) within its area by triggering the appropriate feedback events, eliminating the need for separate hidden controls that users must locate and activate.
3Reliability
If multiple interaction steps (long-press, click) are required, then the system can confirm user intent, but the operation cost and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the interaction area into different zones within the video content display area. Different swipe directions or click positions correspond to different feedback events, allowing the system to confirm user intent through the specific interaction pattern while reducing the number of steps required. This segmentation enables intent confirmation through spatial differentiation rather than temporal sequencing of multiple actions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic interaction where the system responds differently based on the specific interaction detected (swipe direction, click position, hold duration). The feedback mechanism dynamically adapts to the user's interaction pattern, confirming intent through the nature of the interaction itself rather than requiring a fixed sequence of actions. This dynamic response reduces interaction time while maintaining reliability.

AI summary
A media content processing method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium are disclosed. The method includes: displaying media content on a media content presenting page; displaying a preset event trigger region on the media content presenting page in response to a trigger operation on the media content; and in response to a touch-swiping operation on the media content and the touch-swiping operation meets a first preset condition, triggering a preset event for the media content displayed on the media content presenting page, wherein the first preset condition includes at least one of: a swiping distance after displaying the preset event trigger region being greater than a preset distance threshold; a swiping duration after displaying the preset event trigger region being greater than a preset duration threshold; or an end position of the touch-swiping operation being located in the preset event trigger region.
