Media Playback Subtitle Overlay for Unobstructed Video Viewing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information display methods in multimedia content, such as videos, often obstruct the viewing experience due to integrated subtitles that block the content image, necessitating improved methods for flexible subtitle display.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that separates media content from subtitle information, displaying a preset character control in response to a trigger operation, allowing subtitle information to be displayed based on speech information in the media content, with options for flexible control and enrichment of subtitle content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If subtitles are integrated into the media content stream, then subtitle information can be displayed, but the viewing experience is obstructed due to blocking of the content image
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates subtitles from the media content stream into an independent display layer. Subtitles are displayed in a dedicated subtitle region rather than being integrated into the content image, allowing them to be shown without blocking the visual content. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling subtitle information display while preserving viewing experience quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new spatial dimension for subtitle display by creating a separate subtitle region distinct from the media content display area. This dimensional separation allows subtitles to be presented in a different spatial layer, eliminating the blocking effect while maintaining information accessibility.
2Loss of information
If subtitles are displayed continuously, then subtitle information is always available, but interface utilization is reduced and user experience is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic subtitle display control where subtitles are shown only when needed based on user interaction. The system transitions between subtitle display and non-display states dynamically, allowing users to activate subtitles when required and have them deactivated automatically when not needed, optimizing both information availability and user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically manages subtitle display based on detected user needs without requiring continuous user input. When a user interacts with the media content (such as playing or pausing), the system autonomously determines when to show or hide subtitles, reducing interface clutter while maintaining accessibility.
3Ease of operation
If a character control is displayed in the playing image, then subtitle control is enabled, but the control element occupies space in the content area
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by placing the character control in a specific, non-intrusive location within the playing image where it provides functionality without significantly impacting the overall visual composition. The control is positioned to be visible and interactive while maintaining the aesthetic quality of the content display.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of computers and provides an information display method and apparatus, a device and a storage medium. The method comprises: during the process of playing first media content on a media content stream playback interface, displaying a preset character control in a playback picture of the first media content (101); and, in response to a triggering operation in respect of the preset character control, displaying in a preset area on the media content stream playback interface subtitle information associated with the first media content, the subtitle information associated with the first media content being determined on the basis of voice information in the first media content (102).
