Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video processing technologies struggle to meet users' diversified demands for video-based interaction functions due to the lack of efficient methods for screening and playing video collections with varying playback sequences.

Innovation Solution

A video processing method that displays a search result video collection with a playback sequence on a search result page, allowing users to select and play target videos through sliding, episode-selecting controls, or episode-selecting lists, enabling seamless transitions between pages for enhanced user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple video collections are displayed on the search result page, then users can access diversified video content, but the page layout and user interface become complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo content diversityVSAvoidpage layout complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the video collection display into separate, independent playback windows for each collection. Each window is a self-contained unit that can be controlled independently, allowing multiple collections to coexist on the search result page without creating a complex unified interface. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by maintaining content diversity while simplifying the overall page structure through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If users can select and play target videos from video collections directly on the search result page, then user interaction efficiency is improved, but the control and navigation mechanisms become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo selection efficiencyVSAvoidcontrol mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the video selection function and the playback function into a single integrated playback window. When users select a target video from the video collections on the search result page, the selected video plays directly in the existing playback window without requiring navigation to a separate playback page. This merging eliminates the need for complex multi-page navigation controls while maintaining efficient user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of operation

If video collections with playback sequences are displayed, then users can navigate through episodes systematically, but the navigation interface requires more controls

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveepisode navigation easeVSAvoidnavigation control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-organizes video collections with defined playback sequences before display. Each video collection is structured with episodes arranged in a predetermined order, and the playback window automatically recognizes and follows this pre-established sequence. This preliminary organization eliminates the need for complex navigation controls during playback, as the system already has the episode order prepared, requiring only simple user actions to advance through the sequence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
