Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multimedia processing systems fail to accommodate diverse user preferences for different display genres of the same multimedia resource.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for multimedia resource processing that includes a genre switch control on a resource display page, allowing users to switch between different genres of the same multimedia work based on a trigger operation, and a system to determine and obtain a second multimedia resource of a target genre for display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single genre multimedia resource is displayed on the resource display page, then the display content is simple and clear, but it cannot meet the diverse preferences of different users for different display genres

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenre switching capabilityVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The resource display page is designed to display multiple genres of multimedia resources (video, image-text, audio) for the same multimedia work through a unified interface. The display module can present different genre resources based on user selections, making the system universal and adaptable to various user preferences without requiring separate display pages for each genre.

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

Solution Approach 2:

A genre switch control is introduced as an intermediary element between the user and the multimedia resource display. This control allows users to switch between different genres (video, image-text, audio) of the same multimedia work by triggering genre switching logic, thereby resolving the contradiction between simplicity and versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple genres of multimedia resources are displayed on the resource display page, then user preferences are accommodated, but the display interface becomes complex and cluttered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenre diversity supportVSAvoidinterface usability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display of multiple genres is achieved through temporal segmentation rather than spatial clutter. The display module presents one genre at a time based on the triggered genre switch, dividing the display function into separate, manageable segments (video display, image-text display, audio display) that are activated sequentially through the genre switch control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The resource display page implements dynamic genre switching where the displayed content adapts based on user interaction with the genre switch control. The system transitions between different display states (video, image-text, audio) dynamically, allowing the interface to remain simple while supporting multiple genres through state changes rather than simultaneous display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If genre switching is implemented through complex controls, then precise genre selection is achieved, but the operation becomes difficult and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegenre selection accuracyVSAvoidgenre switching operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The genre switch control is designed to be self-service and intuitive, automatically cycling through different genres when triggered. Users simply need to activate the genre switch control once, and the system autonomously manages the genre transitions, eliminating the need for complex selection interfaces or multiple interaction steps while maintaining precise genre selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus, device and a storage medium for multimedia resource processing, and the method includes: displaying a first multimedia resource on a resource display page, a genre switch control is provided on the resource display page, in response to a trigger operation for the genre switch control, determining a target switch genre, and obtaining a second multimedia resource based on the first multimedia resource and the target switch genre, wherein the second multimedia resource is of the target switch genre, and the first multimedia resource and the second multimedia resource are of different genres of a same multimedia work, and switch from the first multimedia resource to the second multimedia resource on the resource display page. Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure can realize a switching display function for different genres of the same multimedia work based on a target switch control on the resource display page, so that requirements of different users on different display genres of a same multimedia resource are met.
