Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in locating specific parts of media content added to favorites due to the diverse and rich nature of media content, leading to a poor user experience when trying to access these favorites.
Innovation Solution
A media content favoriting method and apparatus that allows users to select and favorite specific segments of media content, such as video or audio, within a larger piece, with interactive controls for playback and favoriting, including dynamic effects for feedback and segment-based favoriting operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users favorite entire media content, then all content is saved for later access, but users cannot easily locate specific segments within the favorited content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides media content into multiple segments with unique identifiers. When users favorite content, they can select specific segments rather than the entire media file. The system then provides direct access to these segmented favorites, solving the problem of locating specific parts within favorited content.
2Ease of operation
If the media content favoriting control is displayed only during specific playback intervals, then the interface remains clean, but users cannot access favoriting functionality outside those intervals
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the media content favoriting control universally accessible throughout the entire playback process, not limited to specific time intervals. This allows users to access favoriting functionality at any point during playback, enhancing both usability and flexibility.
3Quantity of substance
If users can favorite multiple segments from the same media content, then more content is saved, but the interface becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements segment-based favoriting where users can select multiple distinct segments from the same media content. Each segment is treated as an independent favoritable unit with its own identifier, allowing multi-segment favoriting while maintaining a clean, manageable interface through structured segmentation.

AI summary
This disclosure discloses a media content favoriting method and apparatus, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium, relating to the field of media content display interaction. The media content favoriting method includes: playing first media content by a playing control in an interactive interface; displaying a media content favoriting control which comprises a first input area and a media information display area of second media content, the second media content corresponding to a first segment between a first time point of the first media content and a second time point of the first media content, and a duration of the first segment being less than a duration of the first media content; and performing a favoriting operation on the second media content in response to detecting an input signal from the first input area.
