Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video playing applications require numerous page jumps and complex operations to find related videos, leading to inefficiency.

Innovation Solution

A video presentation method and apparatus that includes presenting an associated-video recommendation entry on a video playing interface, triggering an extension panel with recommended video cards, and playing associated videos directly from these cards to reduce page jumps and operation complexity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional video playing interface is used with multiple page jumps to find related videos, then video navigation completeness is improved, but operation complexity increases and user efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo navigation completenessVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the video playing interface and the extension panel into a single integrated interface. The extension panel is displayed alongside the main video player, allowing users to access recommended videos without leaving the current page. This combines the functionality of video playback and video recommendation into one unified interface, eliminating the need for multiple page jumps while maintaining complete video navigation capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a spatial dimension by displaying the extension panel in a side or overlay position relative to the main video player. This creates a multi-region layout where the main video interface and recommended video interface coexist in different spatial zones of the same screen, allowing users to browse recommended videos without navigating to separate pages

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional video playing interface with multiple page jumps is used, then comprehensive video recommendation is achieved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo recommendation comprehensivenessVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-fetching and displaying recommended video information in the extension panel before the user actually requests to watch those videos. The recommended videos are prepared and presented in advance within the same interface, so when users click on a recommended video, playback can start immediately without the time delay of navigating to a separate page

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If extension panel with video recommended cards is displayed, then user experience is improved, but interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the user interface into distinct functional regions: the main video playing area and the extension panel with recommended video cards. Each region has a specific function and is visually separated, making the complex interface manageable. The extension panel contains multiple independent video recommended cards, each representing a separate video option, allowing users to easily distinguish and select from different recommendations without being overwhelmed by a monolithic interface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
