Solution Overview

Problem

Current video playing applications or video players provide only a single video in a playing interface without additional information, lacking convenience and richness, thereby affecting user experience.

Innovation Solution

A display method and apparatus that allows multiple target sub-videos to be played sequentially on a user interface alongside multiple images, enabling users to trigger an image to jump to associated information, enhancing user interaction and experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single video is displayed in the playing interface, then the interface is simple, but the user experience is limited and lacks richness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctionality richnessVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video content is segmented into multiple sub-videos that can be played sequentially, while related images are displayed in an image display area. This segmentation allows the interface to present multiple pieces of content without overwhelming the user, as each element remains distinct and manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple content elements (sub-videos and images) are merged into a single unified playing interface. The interface combines video playback functionality with image display and information access, creating a multi-functional platform that enhances user experience without requiring separate applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple sub-videos and images are displayed simultaneously, then the user experience is enhanced, but the interface becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-functionalityVSAvoidinterface structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into distinct functional areas: a video playing area for sequential sub-video playback and an image display area for showing related images. This spatial segmentation organizes multiple content elements without creating visual chaos, maintaining interface clarity while delivering multi-functional content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The playing interface is designed as a universal platform that handles multiple content types (videos and images) and multiple operations (playback, display, and information access). This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate interfaces for different content types, reducing overall system complexity.

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

3Loss of information

If users want to access additional information about an image, they need to perform multiple operations, but this increases operation complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidoperation steps
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Related information about each image is pre-associated and prepared in the system. When a user selects an image, the corresponding information is already ready for immediate display, eliminating the need for users to perform multiple search or navigation operations to find related content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system acts as an intermediary that automatically connects images with their related information. Instead of users manually searching for and connecting related content, the system mediates this relationship by providing direct access to associated information through a single user action.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A display method, apparatus, device and storage medium, the method includes: displaying a user interface for playing a target video (S101), where the user interface includes an image display area, and the target video includes multiple target sub-videos; playing each target sub-video in the target video sequentially on the user interface while displaying multiple images in the image display area (S102), where the multiple target sub-videos respectively correspond to the multiple images displayed in the image display area; and in response to a first triggering operation acting on a target image in the image display area, jumping to and displaying target information associated with the target image (S103), where the target image includes any image displayed in the image display area. The method can provide users with convenient operations to realize multi-functionalization, thereby meeting their needs and enhancing their operational experience.
