Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video processing technologies lack diversified approaches to meet the varied needs of users, particularly in enhancing user experience through interactive and engaging content during video playback.

Innovation Solution

A video processing method that includes displaying a hot topic panel entrance on the play page of a target video, allowing users to trigger the display of a hot topic panel with related content, such as comments and articles, and providing interactive features like commenting and submitting videos directly from the panel.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional video playback interface is used, then interface simplicity is maintained, but user interaction diversity and video processing approaches are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo processing approachesVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into functional modules: hot topic panel entrance, hot topic panel, comment display area, and video playback area. Each module serves a specific function, allowing the system to provide diverse video processing approaches while maintaining interface clarity through modular organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The hot topic panel is displayed in a pop-up dimension overlaying the video playback interface, rather than requiring navigation to a separate page. This dimensional change enables additional interaction opportunities without adding sequential steps, thus enhancing versatility without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If hot topic panel is always displayed, then user access to hot topic content is facilitated, but video playback area is occupied and user experience is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to hot topic contentVSAvoidvideo playback area
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The hot topic panel transitions from a hidden state to a visible pop-up state upon user interaction with the entrance, and can be dismissed to return to full video playback. This dynamic behavior allows the panel to occupy screen space only when needed, facilitating easy access to hot topic content while preserving video playback area during normal viewing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The hot topic panel is nested within the video playback interface as an overlay layer, allowing it to utilize the same screen space without requiring additional physical area. The panel can be opened and closed without permanently reducing the video playback area, thus improving accessibility while minimizing space occupation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple video collections are switched frequently, then content diversity is improved, but interface stability and user context are disrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent diversityVSAvoidinterface stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The hot topic panel entrance and panel design serves multiple collections of videos universally, rather than requiring separate interfaces for different video collections. This multi-functional design allows users to access diverse content from multiple collections while maintaining a stable, consistent interface structure, thus improving content diversity without disrupting interface stability.

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

AI summary

A video processing method, apparatus, device and storage device is provided. The method comprises: displaying, on a play page of a target video, a hot topic panel entrance; and in response to receiving a trigger operation for the hot topic panel entrance, displaying a hot topic panel on the play page of the target video, wherein the hot topic panel displays hot topic contents for a first set of videos to which the target video belongs.
