Solution Overview

Problem

Current multimedia playback technologies lack the ability to seamlessly integrate multi-speed playback with progress adjustments, leading to inefficient user interaction and limited functionality in multimedia resource playback.

Innovation Solution

A method and terminal implementation that allows continuous playback in multi-speed mode by using a progress adjust operation as a playback start point, combining multi-speed and progress adjust functions to enhance interaction efficiency and diversity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If multi-speed playback mode is implemented, then playback speed flexibility is improved, but interaction complexity increases when combining with progress adjustments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayback speedVSAvoidinteraction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the progress adjustment operation with the multi-speed mode triggering. When users perform a progress adjust operation (dragging the progress bar), the system automatically triggers multi-speed playback mode without requiring separate user actions. This combines two functions (progress adjustment and mode selection) into one operation, reducing interaction complexity while maintaining playback speed flexibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The progress adjust operation is designed to serve multiple functions: it adjusts the playback progress position and simultaneously triggers the multi-speed playback mode. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate controls for progress adjustment and speed mode selection, simplifying the user interface and interaction flow

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

2Measurement precision

If multi-speed mode is retriggered after progress adjustment, then playback accuracy is improved, but continuity of playback is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayback position accuracyVSAvoidplayback continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary setup by configuring the multi-speed mode to be automatically triggered and maintained during progress adjustment operations. The playback position is pre-calculated based on the drag distance, and the multi-speed mode is pre-configured to activate at the new position, ensuring both accuracy and continuity without requiring retriggering

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If multi-speed and progress adjust functions are integrated, then functionality is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctionality integrationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The progress bar component is designed to serve multiple functions: it displays playback progress, allows progress adjustment through dragging, and triggers multi-speed playback mode based on drag distance. This universal design integrates multiple functions into a single component, enhancing versatility while avoiding the need for separate complex control systems

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically determines whether to trigger multi-speed mode based on the progress adjustment operation itself, without requiring additional user inputs or complex configuration. The drag distance on the progress bar self-determines the playback speed level, making the system adapt to user needs automatically while keeping the control logic relatively simple

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Provided is a method for playing back a multimedia resource. The method includes: playing back the multimedia resource on a playback interface; playing back the multimedia resource in a multi-speed mode in response to a first multi-speed set operation on the playback interface, wherein the multi-speed mode corresponds to a reference playback multi-speed; and continuously playing back, in response to a progress adjust operation on the playback interface, the multimedia resource in the multi-speed mode using a playback progress corresponding to the progress adjust operation as a playback start point.
