Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional video stream feedback methods are inaccurate and disrupt the playing experience due to human-computer interaction interfaces blocking the video stream.

Innovation Solution

A method that pauses the current video stream when a trigger condition is met, invokes a human-computer interaction portal to gather feedback, and resumes playing a different stream after feedback is received, ensuring the playing experience is uninterrupted.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a human-computer interaction portal is displayed to collect user feedback, then feedback accuracy is improved, but the video stream playback is blocked and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback accuracyVSAvoidvideo stream blocking
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the display state of the video stream based on the presence and state of the interaction portal. When the portal is displayed, the video stream is paused or stopped; when the portal is closed, the video stream resumes playback. This dynamic state transition resolves the contradiction by making the video stream blocking conditional rather than constant.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The video stream playback follows a periodic pattern: playing normally, pausing when feedback is requested, and resuming after feedback collection. This periodic interruption and resumption allows the system to collect accurate feedback without permanently blocking the video stream, maintaining overall playback continuity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Loss of time

If user feedback is collected during video playback, then feedback timeliness is improved, but the interaction interface blocks the video stream and reduces playback smoothness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback timelinessVSAvoidplayback smoothness
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system triggers the interaction portal at predetermined moments during video playback, such as at key plot points or after specific time intervals. This preliminary timing ensures feedback is collected at optimal moments for timeliness while minimizing disruption to the overall playback experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically controls the playback state based on interaction portal state. When the portal is displayed for feedback collection, playback is temporarily paused; when the portal is closed, playback immediately resumes. This dynamic adjustment balances feedback timeliness with playback smoothness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If the interaction portal is displayed over the video stream, then feedback collection capability is improved, but the video playback effect is degraded due to blocking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback collection capabilityVSAvoidvideo playback effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic control where the video stream playback state is directly linked to the interaction portal display state. When the portal is displayed to enhance feedback collection capability, the video stream is paused to maintain playback quality. When the portal is closed, playback resumes, ensuring reliability of the video playback effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts the feedback collection function into a separate interaction portal that can be independently displayed and closed. This separation allows the feedback collection capability to be enhanced without permanently degrading the video playback effect, as the portal can be temporarily displayed and then removed to restore full playback quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Embodiments of the present application provide a video stream playing control method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The method comprises: in a situation that a human-computer interaction entrance invoking triggering condition is satisfied, stopping playing a first video stream, and invoking a human-computer interaction entrance for the first video stream while displaying a playing picture of the first video stream; after target feedback information is obtained by means of the human-computer interaction entrance or an instruction for closing the human-computer interaction entrance is received, closing the human-computer interaction entrance, and playing a second video stream different from the first video stream, the target feedback information comprising feedback information for the first video stream.
