Search Interface Dynamic Video Thumbnail Recommendation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional search interfaces only provide a search bar and top search terms, leading to a poor user experience by not effectively guiding users to relevant content.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for search page interaction that switches the display interface to a search interface upon a preset operation, displaying recommended content with dynamic video thumbnails, allowing users to jump to detail pages and play interfaces for selected videos through subsequent operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If only a search bar and top search terms are provided in the search interface, then the interface remains simple and easy to understand, but user experience deteriorates due to lack of effective content guidance
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of user search history, behavior patterns, and preferences before the user even completes their search. This allows the system to pre-generate personalized recommended content lists and dynamic video thumbnails that are immediately available when the user enters the search interface, providing proactive content guidance without requiring additional user effort.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary recommendation system that acts as a bridge between the simple search interface and the vast content database. This intermediary layer processes user inputs and search context to generate personalized content recommendations and dynamic video previews, effectively mediating between the user's simple search action and the complex information retrieval without exposing the complexity to the user.
2Loss of information
If recommended content with dynamic video thumbnails is displayed in the search interface, then user experience improves through better content guidance, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The search interface is segmented into distinct functional zones: the original simple search bar area, a separate recommended content display area with personalized lists, and a dynamic video thumbnail preview area. Each segment serves a specific purpose and can be independently controlled. This segmentation allows the system to add rich content guidance features while maintaining the simplicity of the core search functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface implements dynamic elements including real-time video thumbnail generation that responds to user interactions, adaptive recommended content lists that update based on search context, and animated transitions between states. These dynamic features enhance user engagement and content guidance while the system automatically manages the complexity through programmatic control rather than static interface design.
3Loss of information
If multiple interaction operations are supported for navigation, then user engagement improves through seamless navigation, but ease of operation deteriorates due to multiple operation types
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal click-based interaction model that serves multiple navigation functions. The same click gesture can select recommended content items, play video thumbnails, navigate to detail pages, or return to search results. This multi-functional click interface eliminates the need for users to learn multiple operation types while providing comprehensive navigation capabilities through contextual interpretation of the click location and target.

AI summary
Techniques for searching page interaction are described herein. The disclosed techniques include in response to a first preset operation on a search control in a current display interface, switching the current display interface to a search interface and displaying at least one subject of recommended content in the search interface and displaying a dynamic thumbnail of at least one video corresponding to each subject of recommended content under the subject of recommended content; in response to a second preset operation on a target subject of recommended content, jumping to a detail page corresponding to the target subject of recommended content; and in response to a third preset operation on a dynamic thumbnail of a target video, jumping to a play interface of the target video.
