Solution Overview

Problem

Users watching live video broadcasts on mobile devices often need to frequently switch between video pages and third-party instant communication tools to chat with friends, creating a cumbersome experience.

Innovation Solution

A method for implementing message interaction in a video playing page that allows users to create groups and associate them with video content, enabling chat functionality directly within the video client, eliminating the need for frequent interface switching between video and social application clients.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users switch between video page and third-party instant communication tool to chat, then chat functionality is available, but operation convenience deteriorates due to frequent interface switching

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation convenienceVSAvoidtime for interface switching
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the chat functionality of third-party instant communication tools into the video playing page by creating a group chat interface that displays directly within the video client. This integration allows users to chat about video content without leaving the video interface, eliminating the need for frequent switching between applications and thereby improving operation convenience while reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If chat functionality is integrated into video playing page, then operation convenience improves, but system complexity increases due to group management requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechat accessibilityVSAvoidgroup management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent leverages the existing group management capabilities of third-party instant communication tools and integrates them into the video client. By reusing the established group creation, invitation, and management mechanisms from the social application, the system achieves multi-functionality without proportionally increasing complexity. The video client utilizes the social tool's proven group management infrastructure, thereby providing integrated chat functionality with controlled system complexity.

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

AI summary

A method for message interaction in a video page, a computing device, and a storage medium are provided. The method for implementing message interaction in a video playing page includes: requesting a video interaction system to create a corresponding group when receiving an instruction for creating a group by a first user of the computing device; obtaining an invitation link for joining the group and invoking a social application client; sending a request for associating a first video content selected and the group to the video interaction system, so that the video interaction system associates the first video content with the group according to the request; and presenting, in a playing page of the first video content associated with the group, an interaction message of each member in the group.
