Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional content sharing applications do not effectively provide users with interactive information associated with multimedia content, limiting user interaction and engagement, especially when users lack permission to view clear versions of the content.

Innovation Solution

Implement a method and apparatus that determine user permissions for clear content viewing, display blurred content with interactive information in clear mode, and dynamically switch and display multimedia content parts to prioritize primary content, enhancing interaction through dynamic presentation of interactive items.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a blurred version of multimedia content is displayed to users without permission, then content protection is improved, but user interaction quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent protectionVSAvoiduser interaction quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display content is segmented into two independent parts: blurred multimedia content and clear interactive information items. This segmentation allows the multimedia content to remain protected while interactive elements maintain full functionality, resolving the contradiction between content protection and interaction quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Interactive information items serve as an intermediary layer between the user and the protected multimedia content. Users can interact with clear text-based information (comments, likes, shares) without needing to view the actual multimedia content, thus maintaining both protection and interaction quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If interactive information items are displayed in a static mode, then system complexity is reduced, but user engagement deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The interactive information items are displayed in a dynamic mode that responds to user interactions. When users perform actions like liking, commenting, or sharing, the corresponding information items are highlighted or animated, creating an engaging experience without requiring complex system changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Visual changes such as color transitions or highlighting are applied to interactive information items to indicate user actions and enhance engagement. This simple visual feedback mechanism improves user experience without significantly increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

AI summary

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a method, apparatus, device and storage medium for information display are provided. The method comprises in response to a target multimedia content to be presented to a first user, determining whether the first user has a permission to view a clear version of the target multimedia content. If it is determined that the first user has no permission to view the clear version of the target multimedia content, displaying a blurred version of the target multimedia content; and displaying an interactive information item associated with the target multimedia content in a clear mode. In this way, the interactive information items associated with the multimedia content can be displayed while the blurred version of the multimedia content is displayed, so as to provide more rich and interesting information display.
