Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video interaction technologies have a poor display mechanism for bullet screens and emojis, which obstructs the central area of the video image, leading to a suboptimal user experience for both video viewing and message interaction.

Innovation Solution

The method involves displaying target messages in a target message display area whose orthographic projection is located on the left side and/or right side of a preset central area of the video image display area, ensuring that the messages do not obstruct the central video area.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If bullet screens and emojis are displayed in the video image display area, then user interaction is enabled, but the central area of the video image is obstructed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactionVSAvoidcentral video area
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The display area is segmented into a central video display area and a peripheral message display area. The message display area is divided into left and right regions relative to the central area, allowing messages to be displayed without obstructing the central video content. This spatial segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling interaction while preserving central video visibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The message display area is positioned in the peripheral region of the video image display area, utilizing the two-dimensional space around the central area. By moving messages from the central region to the peripheral regions (left and right sides), the solution enables message display without obstructing the central video area, thus resolving the contradiction between interaction and video viewing quality.

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

2Loss of information

If messages are displayed in the central area of the video image, then message visibility is improved, but video viewing experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage visibilityVSAvoidvideo viewing experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Different regions of the display area are assigned different functions with different quality characteristics. The central area is dedicated to video display with high visual quality, while the peripheral left and right areas are dedicated to message display. This local differentiation ensures that messages are visible without compromising the video viewing experience in the central area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The display area is segmented into functional zones: central video area and peripheral message areas. By segmenting the display space, the patent ensures that messages are displayed in peripheral regions rather than the central area, maintaining both message visibility and video viewing quality simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Device complexity

If a simple display mechanism is used for bullet screens and emojis, then device complexity is reduced, but interactive experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay mechanismVSAvoidinteractive experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display mechanism is segmented into distinct functional areas: central video display and peripheral message display. This segmentation enables rich interactive features (multiple message types, positioning, styling) without increasing overall system complexity, as each segment has a dedicated function. The peripheral message display area can accommodate various message types and interactions while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
