Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video interaction methods, such as commenting in a comment area, result in a poor user experience and lack of direct interaction between users.

Innovation Solution

A video file processing method and apparatus that allows users to interact via a preset interaction label during video editing, enabling direct interaction with identified objects within the video file.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users interact via comment area, then interaction function is provided, but interaction experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction experienceVSAvoidinteraction effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an interaction label as an intermediary element that bridges the video content and user interaction. Instead of direct interaction through comments, the system uses interaction labels embedded in the video that when triggered, initiate targeted interactions with specific users or objects, thereby improving interaction experience while maintaining effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions interaction from a two-dimensional comment area to a multi-dimensional space by embedding interaction labels within the video content itself. This allows interaction to occur at multiple levels: within the video timeline, at specific frames, and targeted at specific objects or users, thereby enhancing both ease of operation and interaction effectiveness

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

2Loss of information

If interaction is implemented in comment area, then user feedback is collected, but direct interaction between users is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction feedbackVSAvoiddirect user interaction capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The interaction label serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as a visual element within the video, a trigger for user interaction, a identifier for target users or objects, and a mechanism for delivering feedback. This multi-functionality enables both feedback collection and direct user interaction to occur through the same interface element

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where interaction labels not only receive user input but also provide direct feedback to the interacted user or object. When a user triggers an interaction label, the target user receives a notification and can respond directly, creating a closed-loop feedback system that enables real-time direct interaction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present disclosure provides techniques for facilitating interactions via a video playing interface. The techniques comprise acquiring identification information of a first user and a video file, wherein the video file comprises an interaction label, the interaction label comprises identification information of an interaction object identified by a second user, and the interaction label is configured to enable the interaction object to perform an interaction action via the video playing interface; determining whether the first user is the interaction object; displaying the video playing interface that comprises a text box in response to determining that the first user is the interaction object; receiving interaction information inputted by the first user into the text box; and displaying an updated interaction label while playing a video corresponding to the video file in the video playing interface, wherein the updated interaction label comprises the interaction information.
