Solution Overview

Problem

Existing media platforms fail to efficiently and conveniently present recommended content to users based on their interaction operations.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for interface interaction that displays a first present page of media content, transitions to a first information display page with associated media contents upon a sliding instruction, and switches to a second media content page with a direction different from the initial sliding instruction, enhancing interaction efficiency and content presentation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional media platform interaction methods are used, then the interface structure is simple, but recommended content cannot be presented to users conveniently and efficiently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent presentation efficiencyVSAvoidinterface structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into multiple functional layers: the first present page displays media content in a media stream, the first information display page shows associated media contents, and the second present page presents different media content. This segmentation allows efficient content presentation while maintaining manageable interface complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new interaction dimension by implementing bidirectional sliding operations. Users can slide in a first direction to access associated media contents and in a second direction (different from the first) to switch between media content in the media stream. This multi-dimensional interaction enables efficient content presentation without requiring complex interface structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If multiple pages and interaction modes are introduced to improve content recommendation, then content presentation efficiency improves, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent interaction convenienceVSAvoidinterface structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The first information display page serves multiple functions: it displays associated media contents, responds to first sliding instructions to show media information pages, and responds to second sliding instructions to switch media content in the media stream. This multi-functionality improves ease of operation while avoiding the need for additional separate interfaces, thereby controlling interface structure complexity.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If unidirectional sliding interaction is used, then the interaction logic is simple, but the ability to navigate between different media contents is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation capabilityVSAvoidinteraction logic
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interaction logic is made dynamic by implementing direction-dependent sliding operations. When a first sliding instruction is received, the system displays the first information display page; when a second sliding instruction in a different direction is received, the system displays the second present page. This dynamic response to different interaction directions enhances navigation capability while keeping the interaction logic adaptable rather than overly complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to interface interaction. The method provided herein includes: displaying a first present page of a first media content in a media stream based on media stream downloaded from a server; displaying a first information display page based on a first sliding instruction received in the first present page, the first information display page displaying a first group of media contents associated with the first media content; and in response to receiving a second sliding instruction in the first information display page, displaying a second present page of a second media content in the media stream, a direction associated with the second sliding instruction being different from a direction associated with the first sliding instruction. In this manner, the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the efficiency of recommending media contents.
