Multimedia Playback Interactive Selection via Server Association
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current multimedia playback technologies primarily involve passive reception of content, lacking user participation and interaction, which limits engagement and interaction opportunities during media playback.
Innovation Solution
A method where a terminal device obtains a playback identifier from a multimedia playback device, sends an association request to a server, and receives candidate options to select a second media resource, allowing users to participate in the playback decision-making process by feeding back their chosen option to the server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If passive content reception is used, then media playback is simple, but user participation and interaction are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by receiving user selections through terminal devices and using these feedbacks to determine subsequent media resources for playback. The server collects selection information from multiple terminals and uses this feedback to dynamically choose the next media content, enabling interactive user participation while maintaining manageable system complexity through centralized processing
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between the multimedia playback device and the terminal devices. It receives playback identifiers from the playback device, distributes candidate media resources to terminals, collects user selections, and determines the next media resource. This intermediary approach enables user interaction without requiring direct complex connections between all devices
2Ease of operation
If interactive selection of media resources is implemented, then user engagement is improved, but time for media playback is extended
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by providing multiple candidate media resources to terminal devices before the actual selection and playback transition. Candidate options are prepared and made available in advance, allowing users to make selections without causing significant delays in the overall playback timeline, thus maintaining user engagement while minimizing time loss

AI summary
System and methods for multimedia playback are provided. A terminal device may obtain a playback identifier of a multimedia playback device. The terminal device may send an association request to a server based on the playback identifier. The association request may enable the server to establish an association between a terminal device and the multimedia playback device. The terminal device may receive a plurality of candidate options pushed by the server. The plurality of candidate options may be pushed to the terminal device associated with the multimedia playback device when the server detects that a preset time point arrives after the multimedia playback device plays back a first media resource. The terminal device may obtain a target option selected from the plurality of candidate options. The terminal device may feedback the target option to the server to enable the server to determine a second media resource to be played back by the multimedia playback device.
