Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for displaying video comments on smart terminals lead to increased resource consumption and stability issues, particularly when the number of comments is large, causing the video playback to stutter and the main video content to be obscured.

Innovation Solution

A method that optimizes the comment display process by dividing video files into frames, generating mask frames, and reducing the update frequency of mask frames based on computer performance parameters, such as browser frame rate, to improve stability and prevent comment overlap with video content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a large number of comments are displayed in real-time on the video, then user interaction and engagement are improved, but resource consumption increases and video playback stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidvideo playback stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action by updating mask frames at specific intervals rather than continuously. The system determines update timing based on video frame changes, using triggers such as frame difference detection to initiate mask frame updates only when necessary. This periodic update mechanism reduces computational load and resource consumption while maintaining the effectiveness of comment display stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Adaptability or versatility

If comment display functionality is added to video playback, then user experience is enhanced, but device resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoiddevice resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs self-service mechanisms through automatic frame difference detection and trigger-based update initiation. The video playback system monitors its own state changes and automatically triggers mask frame updates when video content changes, without requiring external intervention. This self-monitoring and self-triggering mechanism optimizes resource usage by updating only when necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting mask frame update frequency based on video content changes. The system monitors video frame parameters and adjusts the update rate accordingly, using frame difference thresholds and trigger conditions to modulate resource consumption. This adaptive parameter adjustment ensures smooth comment display while conserving device resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If mask frames are updated frequently to maintain display stability, then comment display quality is improved, but processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomment display stabilityVSAvoidprocessing load
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic action through trigger-based update mechanisms that initiate mask frame updates only when specific conditions are met, such as video frame changes or user interactions. This approach replaces continuous updating with event-driven periodic updates, significantly reducing processing load while maintaining display stability during critical moments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamics by making the mask frame update frequency adaptive rather than fixed. The system dynamically adjusts update timing based on real-time video content changes, using frame difference detection and trigger conditions to modulate update rates. This dynamic adjustment ensures stability when needed while reducing processing load during stable video segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
