Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video playback systems lack interactive modes that enrich the user experience by linking video content with associated book content, limiting the user's understanding and engagement.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that display audio identifications during video playback, allowing users to trigger audio playback of associated sentences from the corresponding book, along with optional display of text content, comment information, and book circle information, enhancing the interaction between video and book content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If video playback is enhanced with interactive book content linkage, then user engagement and understanding are improved, but system complexity and information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent embeds book content (sentences, paragraphs, chapters) within the video playback interface. When users interact with audio identifications during video playback, nested book content is displayed including sentence text, related paragraphs, chapter information, and comment sections. This nested structure allows rich interactive functionality while maintaining a compact user interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an audio identification mechanism as an intermediary between video playback and book content access. The audio identification is generated from book sentences and serves as a bridge - when triggered during video playback, it retrieves and displays associated book content without requiring direct complex interactions between video and book systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If multiple types of book content information are displayed during video playback, then user understanding is enhanced, but information overload and interface clutter increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser understandingVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments book content into hierarchical levels: audio identification (trigger), sentence level (basic info), paragraph level (detailed content), chapter level (structural context), and comment level (user interactions). Users can progressively access deeper levels of information based on their needs, avoiding initial information overload while providing comprehensive details when required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic content display where the amount and type of book information shown adapts based on user interactions. Initially, only essential audio identifications are shown during video playback. Upon user trigger, sentence text appears; further interactions reveal paragraph content, chapter information, and comments. This dynamic progression prevents interface clutter while ensuring information availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A video display method and apparatus, and a computer device and a storage medium. The method includes: in response to a video play request for a target video, acquiring the target video and audio of associated statements which correspond to the target video, wherein the associated statements are extracted from a target book corresponding to the target video (101); playing the target video, and when a target segment in the target video is played, displaying an audio identifier (102); and in response to a trigger operation for the audio identifier, determining, from the associated statements, a target statement which corresponds to the target segment, and playing audio of the target statement while playing the target segment (103).
