Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in accurately determining the progress relationship between different types of multimedia resources, leading to inefficiencies and a reduced viewing experience due to the need for manual checking.

Innovation Solution

A multimedia resource display method and apparatus that generates a display page showing multiple multimedia sub-resources with an association relationship, allowing simultaneous playback and display of these resources, facilitated by a client and server interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple types of multimedia resources are converted for user viewing, then user watching requirements are met, but users cannot accurately determine the progress relationship between different types of multimedia resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemultimedia resource type conversionVSAvoidprogress relationship information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically provides feedback to users about the progress relationship between different multimedia resource types. When users view one type of multimedia resource, the system monitors their progress and displays corresponding progress information for associated resources of other types, eliminating the need for users to manually check progress relationships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary mechanism that automatically tracks and displays progress relationships between different multimedia resource types. This intermediary function bridges the gap between different resource types by providing automated progress synchronization information, preventing information loss about progress relationships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If users manually check to determine the progress relationship between multimedia resources, then accurate progress information can be obtained, but it takes much time and reduces watching experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprogress relationship accuracyVSAvoidtime for manual checking
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service functionality where the progress relationship information is automatically tracked, synchronized, and displayed without requiring user intervention. The system serves itself by monitoring user progress on one multimedia resource type and automatically updating progress information for associated resources, eliminating time-consuming manual checks while maintaining precise progress accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of manufacture

If different types of multimedia resources have different playback paths, then each resource type can be optimized for its specific format, but users cannot perceive the progress relationship between associated resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayback path optimizationVSAvoidprogress synchronization information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal progress tracking mechanism that works across multiple different multimedia resource types and playback paths. Despite different playback optimizations for various resource types (videos, images, text, audio), the system provides a unified progress synchronization function that displays progress relationships consistently across all resource types, preventing loss of progress synchronization information.

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

AI summary

This application provides techniques for presenting multimedia resources. The techniques comprises obtaining a browsing instruction submitted by a user, and sending a browsing request to a server based on the browsing instruction; receiving a multimedia resource delivered by the server for the browsing request, and generating a browsing page based on the multimedia resource and displaying the browsing page to the user; in response to receiving a touch instruction performed by the user on the browsing page, determining multiple sub-resources with an association relationship from the multimedia resource based on the touch instruction; and generating a display page including at least two sub-resources based on the multiple sub-resources, and displaying the display page to the user.
