Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in correlating media content with corresponding topics, leading to a poor user experience due to the inability to conveniently and quickly browse media content based on topic information.

Innovation Solution

An interaction method and apparatus that allows users to play media content and display topic information within an interaction interface, enabling users to trigger specific media content segments related to the topic information, improving user experience by allowing quick access to relevant media content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually search for media content related to topics, then they can find relevant content, but the process is time-consuming and inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of browsing media contentVSAvoidtime to find relevant media content
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes media content by automatically identifying and extracting topic information during content ingestion. Topic keywords and segments are tagged and organized in advance, so when users query, the matching is immediate rather than requiring manual search through entire content libraries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates topic-based copies or indexes of media content metadata without duplicating the full content. These topic indexes contain key information such as topic keywords, time segments, and content descriptors that enable rapid retrieval while maintaining efficient storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Loss of information

If the interaction interface displays detailed topic information, then users can identify relevant content, but the interface becomes complex and cluttered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of topic informationVSAvoidcomplexity of interaction interface
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is divided into distinct functional zones: a media playback area, a separate topic information display area, and control elements. Topic information is segmented into key attributes (topic name, related segments, brief description) rather than displaying all metadata at once, reducing visual clutter while maintaining information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Topic information is displayed in a hierarchical or layered manner, with primary topic details visible in the main interface and additional information accessible through expansion or secondary interactions. This multi-dimensional presentation maintains information completeness without overwhelming the primary interface view.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Measurement precision

If the system processes and analyzes media content to extract topic information, then relevant content can be identified, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of topic identificationVSAvoidspeed of media content playback
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Topic analysis and keyword extraction are performed during the media content ingestion and indexing phase, not during playback. This pre-processing ensures accurate topic identification without impacting real-time playback performance, as the analysis work is completed beforehand.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts only essential topic-related metadata (keywords, segment timestamps, brief descriptors) from the full media content during indexing, separating this extracted information from the main content stream. This allows precise topic matching while maintaining efficient playback of the original media content without redundant processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

The present disclosure provides an interaction method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer readable storage medium. The interaction method includes: playing first media content in an interaction interface by means of a play control, the interaction interface including a topic control; in response to detecting a trigger operation on the topic control, displaying a first topic information set; and in response to detecting a first trigger operation on first topic information in the first topic information set, playing, by means of the play control, second media content corresponding to the first topic information, the first topic information being related to the first media content.
