Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional video content playback methods require users to click on icons multiple times to access and play video content, leading to a complex and time-consuming process, especially when browsing multiple videos on the same display page.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that detect a play condition for video content on a video display page, adjusting a player instance to the selected content block and playing the video content directly, eliminating the need for users to navigate through detail pages and reducing resource occupation by instantiating a player instance on the video display page.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the conventional technique uses icons to represent video contents on a video display page and requires users to click icons to enter detail pages for playback, then users can access video information, but the playback process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo playback processVSAvoidtime cost for browsing video content
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the video display page with the playback functionality by integrating a player instance directly into the video display page. This allows video content to be played directly on the display page without requiring users to navigate to separate detail pages, thereby simplifying the playback process and reducing time cost

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a traditional multi-page navigation model to an in-page playback model by embedding the player instance within the video display page itself. This dimensional change eliminates the need for users to leave the current page context, directly addressing the time loss and operational complexity issues

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

2Loss of information

If the conventional technique requires users to click icons and enter detail pages to play video content, then video information can be displayed, but the operation process becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo content information accessVSAvoidplayback process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines information display and playback functionality into a single integrated interface. The player instance is embedded within the video display page, allowing users to access both video information and playback capabilities without navigating through multiple pages or complex processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The video display page is enhanced to serve multiple functions simultaneously: displaying video information and providing direct playback capability through the integrated player instance. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate detail pages while maintaining full access to video content

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

AI summary

An method for playing video contents including detecting whether or not a play condition for playing a video content corresponding to a first content block in a video display page is met. When it is detected that the play condition for playing the video content corresponding to the first content block is met, adjusting a player instance corresponding to the video display page to the first content block, and playing the video content corresponding to the first content block through the player instance. The technical solution of the present disclosure simplify a play process of playing a video content, avoid that a user browses information related to the video content after entering into a new detail page by clicking icons on the video display page one by one, and enable the user to directly watch a video content corresponding to a content block on the video display page.
