Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video processing technologies lack diverse and enriching interaction functions during the video play process, which affects user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that enable transitioning between different video play pages based on trigger operations, allowing users to jump from short-form videos to long-form videos, with features like zoom-out effects and prompt information to enhance interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users watch short-form videos (first video) with shorter duration, then video consumption efficiency is improved, but users cannot access the complete long-form content (second video) without additional operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo consumption efficiencyVSAvoidaccess to complete content
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The first play page (short-form video) embeds an access entry that contains the second video (long-form video). When users interact with the access entry, the second video is nested within the first play page, allowing seamless access to complete content without leaving the current page context. This nesting structure enables both efficient short-form consumption and access to complete long-form content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The access entry for the second video is pre-configured and displayed on the first play page before users need it. This preliminary preparation allows users to instantly access the complete long-form content by simply interacting with the pre-positioned access entry, eliminating the need for separate search or navigation operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the second video is displayed in a new separate page, then complete content access is improved, but user context and continuity are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomplete content accessVSAvoiduser context continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of opening the second video in a completely separate page, the patent embeds it within the first play page using the access entry mechanism. The second video maintains its full content while being nested in the context of the first video's play page, preserving user context and continuity through visual and navigational connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The access entry acts as an intermediary element that bridges the first video and the second video. It provides a visual and functional connection between the short-form and long-form content, allowing users to transition between them while maintaining contextual awareness through the intermediary's presence on the play page.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If the access entry for the second video is always visible, then content discoverability is improved, but the first play page becomes cluttered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent discoverabilityVSAvoidplay page display area
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The access entry is designed as a dynamic element that can change its display state based on user interaction. It can be hidden or shown on demand, transforming from a static clutter element to a dynamic, context-aware interface component that adapts to user needs without permanently occupying display space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The access entry is positioned in a specific localized region of the first play page (such as a corner or edge area), concentrating the additional functionality in a dedicated space rather than distributing it throughout the entire page. This local placement minimizes interference with the main video content while maintaining discoverability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a video-based interaction method, apparatus, and device, and a storage medium. The method includes: first, obtaining, in response to a preset trigger operation acting on a first play page of a first video, a second video corresponding to the first video, where the first video includes some video clips in the second video, and video duration of the first video is less than that of the second video; and then jumping to a second play page from the first play page, and playing the second video on the second play page.
