Video Clip Recognition for Automatic Full-Video Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video playback systems require users to manually search and initiate playback of full videos after watching short video clips, leading to cumbersome operations.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that automatically determine when a current video is a clip of a target video and seamlessly switch to playing the target video from its start time upon satisfaction of a playback switching condition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users watch short video clips through a video client, then users can quickly access and view video content, but users cannot directly access the full video without additional search and manual operation
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary identification and association of the short video clip with its full video source before the user completes their viewing action. When a short video clip is selected for playback, the system automatically determines the corresponding full video and prepares the playback interface, so that when the user expresses interest in the full video, the transition is seamless and requires minimal additional input.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that bridges the short video clip and full video. This intermediary is the automatic determination and association system that links the two video types, enabling smooth transition without requiring users to manually search or navigate through complex interfaces.
2Reliability
If users manually search for and play full videos after watching short clips, then users can access complete video content, but the operation process becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary identification and association of the short video clip with its full video source before the user completes their viewing action. When a short video clip is selected for playback, the system automatically determines the corresponding full video and prepares the playback interface, so that when the user expresses interest in the full video, the transition is seamless and requires minimal additional input.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual search and selection process with an automated system. Instead of requiring users to manually search through video libraries or use complex search interfaces, the system automatically substitutes this mechanical process with algorithmic determination of the corresponding full video based on the short video clip metadata.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the video playback interface provides both short video and full video options, then users have more viewing choices, but the interface complexity and user confusion increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the video playback functionality into distinct but coordinated components: a short video playback mode and a full video playback mode. Each mode operates independently with its own playback logic, while the system manages the transition between modes through automatic determination mechanisms, maintaining interface simplicity despite offering multiple viewing options.
Data Source
AI summary
A video playback method is provided, including: displaying a video playback interface, and playing a current video on the video playback interface; and in accordance with a determination that the current video is a video clip corresponding to a portion of a the target video and a video playback switching condition is satisfied: playing the target video on the video playback interface starting from a playback start time of the target video.
