Video Playback Interface With Associated Picture Thumbnails
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic devices do not support the simultaneous display of videos and associated pictures during video recording, requiring users to exit the video playback interface to browse associated pictures, which is cumbersome and time-consuming.
Innovation Solution
A method and electronic device that enables the display of video playback interfaces alongside thumbnails of associated pictures, allowing users to switch seamlessly between video and picture preview interfaces without exiting the video playback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users exit video playback interface to browse associated pictures, then they can view the pictures, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the video playback interface and picture browsing interface into a single unified interface. The picture display area is integrated within the video playback interface, allowing users to view both video and associated pictures simultaneously without exiting the playback mode. This combination eliminates the need to switch between separate interfaces, directly resolving the contradiction by improving ease of operation while reducing time loss.
2Adaptability or versatility
If video playback interface displays only video content, then the interface remains simple, but users cannot access associated pictures without additional steps
Solution Approach 1:
The video playback interface is segmented into distinct functional areas: a video display area for playing video content and a picture display area for showing associated pictures. This segmentation allows the interface to handle multiple functions (video playback and picture browsing) simultaneously while maintaining a clear, organized layout. The division of functions increases adaptability without excessively complicating the overall interface structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a spatial dimension to the video playback interface by incorporating a picture display area alongside the video display area. Instead of requiring users to navigate through multiple interfaces (temporal dimension), the solution provides parallel access to both video and pictures within the same interface space. This dimensional expansion enables the interface to handle multiple functions simultaneously while maintaining simplicity.

AI summary
A picture display method and a related electronic device, includes: displaying a first interface of the gallery application, where the first interface includes a first thumbnail, and the first thumbnail is a thumbnail corresponding to a first video; detecting a first input operation performed by a user on the first thumbnail; obtaining, based on a group ID of the first video, thumbnails of N associated pictures associated with the first video, where the associated pictures are captured pictures in a recording process of the first video; and displaying a video playback interface of the first video, where the video playback interface includes a first display box and a second display box. The first display box is used to display an image of the first video, and the second display box is used to display the thumbnails of the N associated pictures.
