Variable Interval Skip Logic for Multimedia Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multimedia playback systems can only skip content in fixed time lengths, leading to a non-optimized implementation mode when playing multimedia files of varying lengths.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method and electronic apparatus that allow skipping between specific moments of a multimedia file based on predefined conditions, enabling non-fixed time intervals for improved user experience by switching between different time intervals based on user operations and preset identifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If skip is carried out in fixed time lengths, then the implementation mode is simple, but the optimization of playback is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the skip time interval variable rather than fixed. The system dynamically adjusts the skip interval based on the current playback position, allowing shorter skips at the beginning of content and longer skips as playback progresses, thereby optimizing user experience while maintaining manageable system complexity through algorithmic control
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of skip time interval from a constant fixed value to a variable that changes based on playback state. By modifying the time interval parameter dynamically according to current playback position and content characteristics, the system achieves adaptive skip functionality that optimizes playback efficiency
2Ease of operation
If skip is carried out in fixed time lengths, then the control logic is simple, but the user experience is not optimized
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically determining optimal skip intervals based on current playback state without requiring explicit user input for each skip operation. The playback control unit autonomously adjusts skip parameters according to predefined criteria related to content type and playback position, enhancing user experience while keeping the interface simple

AI summary
The present invention discloses an information processing method applied in an electronic apparatus, and the method includes deciding whether a first condition is satisfied when the electronic apparatus plays the first data; switching from a first moment of the first data to a second moment of the first data if result of decision indicates that the first condition is satisfied, the second moment and the first moment constituting a first time interval; deciding whether a second condition is satisfied; switching a third moment of the first data to a fourth moment of the first data if result of decision indicates that the second condition is satisfied, the fourth moment and the third moment constituting the second time interval; wherein the first condition is the same as the second condition, and the first time interval is different from the second time interval.
