Solution Overview

Problem

Existing search applications provide a cumbersome interaction process for users to access multimedia content related to search results, leading to a poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

Display multimedia content on a search result page triggered by a search keyword, followed by an interactive control after a preset time, allowing direct access to a target landing page upon user interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If traditional search result pages only display text-based search results, then the interaction process remains simple, but the content richness is insufficient and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent richnessVSAvoidinteraction simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges text-based search results with multimedia content (videos, images, audio) into a unified search result page. The interactive control integrates multiple functions (play, pause, skip) into a single interface element, allowing users to access multimedia content directly from the search results without navigating to separate pages, thereby enriching content while maintaining interaction simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The interactive control is designed as a multi-functional element that can trigger different actions (playing video, viewing images, listening to audio) based on the type of multimedia content. This universal control mechanism handles various content types through a single interface, enhancing content diversity without complicating the user interaction model

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

2Quantity of substance

If multimedia content is displayed immediately upon search, then content richness improves, but the interaction process becomes cumbersome and user experience worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent richnessVSAvoidinteraction process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-loading multimedia content metadata and preparing the interactive control in advance during the search result generation process. The interactive control is configured with all necessary playback functions before the user interacts with it, so when the user clicks play or pauses, the content is already ready to stream without additional navigation or loading steps, thus enriching content while avoiding interaction complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The interactive control serves as an intermediary element between the search result and the multimedia content. Instead of requiring users to navigate to separate video players or content pages, the interactive control mediates all interactions (play, pause, skip, volume) directly within the search result context, simplifying the interaction process while enabling rich multimedia content display

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If multiple interaction steps are required to access multimedia content, then interaction precision is maintained, but the time consumption increases and productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction precisionVSAvoidcontent access efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the multimedia content access process into distinct functional components within the interactive control (play button, pause button, skip buttons, volume control). Each segment handles a specific interaction function, maintaining precise control over content playback while allowing users to access any function immediately through dedicated controls, eliminating the need for multiple navigation steps and improving access efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to an interaction method and apparatus, a readable medium, and an electronic device, which can improve content richness of a search result page and improve an interaction experience of a user. The interaction method includes: displaying a search result page in response to a search operation triggered by a search keyword, the search result page displaying search result content obtained by searching based on the search keyword and multimedia content triggered and displayed by the search keyword; displaying an interactive control after the multimedia content is displayed for a first preset time, the interactive control being used for triggering and displaying a target landing page corresponding to the multimedia content; and displaying the target landing page in response to a trigger operation for the interactive control.
