Video Interaction Controls for Seamless In-Frame Page Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge of seamlessly transitioning from a video play interface to a target page while ensuring user experience in video-based interactions is not adequately addressed in existing technologies.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that determine the successful loading of a resource corresponding to an obscuration in a target video, display an interaction control on the video play interface, and allow switching to a target page upon user interaction, ensuring the interaction control aligns with the video's display elements, and optionally utilize transition animations and pre-rendering to enhance the user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the interaction control is displayed on the video play interface to enable switching to a target page, then the functionality and versatility of the video player is improved, but the visual quality and immersion of the video content deteriorates due to obscuration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the obscuration region semantically correlated with the video content. The interaction control is not arbitrarily placed but is associated with specific display elements in the video frame, making the obscuration meaningful rather than harmful. This transforms the local quality of the obscured region from negative (visual obstruction) to positive (semantic relevance).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism - the interaction control with semantic correlation - that mediates between the video content and the user interface. This intermediary allows the obscuration to serve a dual purpose: maintaining visual quality by being semantically relevant while providing functionality as an interaction control for switching to target pages.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the resource for the interaction control is loaded and displayed, then the interaction functionality is improved, but the loading time and response delay increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-loading the interaction control resource along with the video content. The resource corresponding to the obscuration is loaded in advance during video playback, so that when the video is played to the target time instant, the interaction control is already available for immediate display and interaction, eliminating loading delays.
3Ease of operation
If the interaction control is correlated with video display elements, then the user experience and immersion are improved, but the system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes different parts of the video frame serve different functions. Specific display elements in the video are selected to be correlated with interaction controls based on their semantic relevance. This local differentiation allows the system to maintain simplicity for most of the video content while adding interaction functionality only where semantically appropriate.

AI summary
A method for video-based interaction method includes: when a target video is played back to a target time, determining whether a resource corresponding to a mask in the target video is successfully loaded, the resource comprising an interactive display image having a correlation with a target display element; if the resource is successfully loaded, assigning the interactive display image as a display image of an interactive control, displaying a mask comprising the interactive control on a current playback interface; and when a trigger operation with respect to the interactive control is received, skipping from the current playback interface to a target page, thus implementing the displaying of the target page. For the present solution, because the interactive control is related to a display element in a video image frame, a user can be immersively brought from the video playback interface to browsing the target page, thus ensuring user experience.
