Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If video applications are used for audio playback, then video functionality is utilized, but audio playback experience is not optimized and user needs are not met

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudio playback capabilityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by enabling the video application to perform both video playback and audio playback functions. The audio playing page is integrated within the video application framework, allowing the same application to serve multiple purposes (video and audio) rather than requiring separate dedicated applications for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies segmentation by separating the audio playback interface from the video playback interface. When audio-only mode is selected, the video playing page transitions to an audio playing page with distinct controls and layout optimized for audio consumption, while maintaining the ability to switch back to video mode if needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If audio and video applications are integrated, then diverse user needs are met, but application complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional diversityVSAvoidapplication structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video application is designed to handle both video and audio playback through a unified architecture. The same application container and control system manage both media types, reducing the need for separate application structures while providing diverse functionality.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The application dynamically adjusts its interface and functionality based on the selected playback mode. The video playing page can transform into an audio playing page through configuration changes, allowing the system to adapt its complexity to the current operational context rather than maintaining fixed complex structures for all scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The present disclosure provides an audio/video processing method and apparatus, a device and a storage medium. The method includes: first, in response to a preset trigger operation acting on a video playback page corresponding to a target video, obtaining an audio corresponding to the target video, wherein the target video is a video in a video information flow; and then switching from the video playback page to an audio playback page, and playing back the audio corresponding to the target video on the audio playback page.
