Solution Overview

Problem

Current video processing technologies limit user interaction by only supporting text and expressions, restricting the ability to send static pictures, dynamic pictures, and video clips, which affects user experience and diversity in comment interactions.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allow users to send comments in the form of static pictures, dynamic pictures, or video clips, enabling richer expression and interaction, with the option for users and video posters to confirm and integrate these comments into the video playback, ensuring they do not disrupt the video experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If comment interaction is limited to text and expressions only, then system simplicity is maintained, but user expression diversity and interaction richness are restricted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomment expression diversityVSAvoidcomment system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The comment system is segmented into different comment types (text comments, picture comments, video comments) that can be independently selected and processed. This allows the system to handle multiple expression forms without requiring a complete redesign of the entire comment infrastructure, thus increasing versatility while managing complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The comment system is designed to universally accept multiple types of content (text, pictures, videos) through a unified interface and processing mechanism. The terminal device and server are configured to handle various comment types using the same fundamental architecture, enabling multi-functionality without proportionally increasing system complexity

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If diverse comment types (pictures, videos) are allowed, then user interaction richness is improved, but system processing complexity and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomment type diversityVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as an intermediary between the terminal device and the video playback system. It receives, validates, and processes diverse comment types before integrating them into the video stream. This intermediary layer abstracts the complexity of handling different media types from the terminal device, allowing versatile comment processing while keeping individual device complexity manageable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses data copying and transmission of metadata rather than direct manipulation of large media files at the terminal. Comment data including picture and video information is copied to the server for processing, reducing the computational burden on terminal devices while still enabling diverse comment types to be handled effectively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If comments are integrated into video playback, then user engagement is enhanced, but video playback smoothness may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomment integration capabilityVSAvoidvideo playback stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Comments are pre-processed and validated by the server before being integrated into the video playback stream. The terminal device receives prepared comment data that is already formatted and timed for seamless integration. This preliminary action ensures that comment integration does not disrupt video playback smoothness, as the processing work is completed in advance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces direct manipulation of video playback mechanics with data-driven comment overlay. Instead of interrupting or mechanically altering the video playback process, comments are integrated as data layers that are rendered on top of the video stream. This substitution maintains playback stability while enabling rich comment interaction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide video processing methods and devices, an electronic device, a computer-readable storage medium, a computer program product and a computer program. In response to a comment data input instruction for a target video, a terminal of a comment sender acquires a comment material, wherein the comment material includes an image; and in response to a request instruction for sending comment data, if the comment data has been confirmed, the comment data is presented in a playing process of the target video, wherein the comment data comprises the comment material.
