Media Player Scenario Controls for Diverse Recommendation Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current music player applications have limited and single recommendation scenarios, restricting the acquisition of diverse user preference information and optimizing recommendation algorithms.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that present a second user interface with controls for media playback scenarios, allowing users to select target controls to switch to media items from a media library associated with those scenarios, enhancing user interaction and preference collection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If media player applications provide limited recommendation scenarios, then the application structure remains simple and easy to operate, but the diversity of user preference information acquisition is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the recommendation system into multiple independent scenario modules (e.g., exercise scenario, relaxation scenario, focus scenario), each with its own controls and media library. This allows the system to provide diverse recommendation scenarios while maintaining a modular structure that doesn't overly complicate the overall application architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a universal control structure that can be applied across different recommendation scenarios. The same interface framework and control mechanisms are reused for each scenario, allowing the system to handle multiple scenarios without proportionally increasing complexity. Each scenario uses the same underlying architecture but with different configured parameters and media content.
2Loss of information
If media player applications provide limited recommendation scenarios, then the user interface remains simple, but the ability to optimize recommendation algorithms through diverse user preference data is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic scenario switching that allows the user interface to adapt its complexity based on user needs. Users can dynamically enable or disable specific recommendation scenarios and adjust their preferences without being overwhelmed by a permanently complex interface. The system dynamically presents only the relevant controls and options for the currently active scenario.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces scenario controls as intermediary elements between the user and the recommendation algorithm. These controls serve as a simplified interface layer that captures user preferences indirectly through scenario selection rather than requiring direct complex parameter adjustments. The scenario controls mediate between simple user actions and the complex recommendation algorithm optimization.

AI summary
A method and an apparatus for controlling media player application is provided. The method comprises: in response to detecting a predetermined user operation in a first user interface of the media playback application, presenting a second user interface of the media playback application, the second user interface comprising at least a first set of controls associated with media playback scenarios; receiving a user's selection of a target control in the first set of controls; and in response to the selection, switching a currently played first media item displayed on the first user interface to a second media item, the second media item being selected from a media library associated with a target media play scenario corresponding to the target control.
