Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video interaction methods require complex operations on interactive pages, leading to a degraded user experience and ineffective recommendation results, as users need to stop watching videos or switch pages to interact.

Innovation Solution

A video interaction method that displays an interactive window at a preset position on the video playback page, allowing users to interact without pausing the video, by receiving object determination and collection operations, and displaying relevant information and target pages for collecting objects related to the recommended video.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users interact on separate interactive pages, then interaction functionality is provided, but user experience degrades and operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction operation complexityVSAvoidpage switching requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the interactive window and video playback page into a single integrated interface. The interactive window is embedded within the video playback page, allowing users to perform interactions (such as liking, commenting, or other actions) without leaving the video playback context. This eliminates the need for page switching and reduces operation complexity while maintaining full interaction functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The video playback page serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays the video content and hosts the interactive window for user actions. This multi-functional design allows the same page to handle both video playback and user interaction, eliminating the need for separate interactive pages and reducing the overall system complexity.

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

2Productivity

If users switch to interactive pages for engagement, then interaction is enabled, but video playback is interrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction efficiencyVSAvoidcontinuous video playback duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

By combining the interactive window with the video playback page, users can engage in interactions without interrupting the video playback. The interactive window operates within the same page context, allowing simultaneous video viewing and user engagement, thus maintaining continuous video playback while enabling efficient interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent ensures continuous video playback by allowing interactions to occur within the same page context. The video playback continues uninterrupted while users perform actions in the interactive window, maintaining the continuity of the useful action (video viewing) while enabling interaction functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Adaptability or versatility

If complex interaction operations are required, then interaction functionality is comprehensive, but user experience and recommendation effectiveness decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction functionalityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The integration of the interactive window within the video playback page provides comprehensive interaction functionality (such as liking, commenting, sharing, or other actions) while maintaining a simple and intuitive user interface. Users can access multiple interaction options without navigating to separate pages, thus preserving ease of operation and enhancing user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The interactive window is segmented into distinct functional areas or buttons, each representing a specific interaction action. This segmentation allows comprehensive interaction functionality to be presented in an organized and accessible manner, enabling users to easily find and execute desired actions without overwhelming complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a video interaction method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The video interaction method comprises: in response to a recommended video of a target object being played to a first time node, displaying an interactive window at a preset position on a video playback page and continuing playing the recommended video; receiving an object determination operation acting in the interactive window; displaying first object information of an object to be collected in the interactive window, wherein the object to be collected is related to the target object; receiving a collection operation for the object to be collected; and displaying a target page for a user to collect the object to be collected.
