Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video processing technologies fail to enrich video-related functions to meet diverse user demands and improve user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for video processing that includes displaying a second playback page with a related recommended video list while continuing to play the first video, allowing users to browse recommended videos during playback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a traditional video playback interface is used, then the playback function is simple and clear, but the video-related functions are not enriched and user experience is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo-related functionsVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into multiple functional layers: a first playback page for basic video playback and a second playback page for enriched interactions. The second page includes a preset playback window for continuous video playback and a preset area for displaying recommended video lists, allowing users to access enhanced functions without disrupting the core playback experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a single-page interface to a multi-page interface structure. When users trigger a preset operation on the first playback page, the system switches to the second playback page which adds recommended video list functionality alongside continuous playback, effectively adding a new dimension of interaction without removing the original playback capability.

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

2Area of stationary object

If the video playback window is reduced to display recommended videos, then more video content can be shown, but the video playback experience may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay area for recommended videosVSAvoidvideo playback continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The display area is segmented into two distinct regions: a preset playback window dedicated to continuous video playback and a preset area for displaying recommended video lists. This segmentation ensures that the playback function maintains its original display area and experience while the recommended videos occupy a separate, non-intrusive space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The second playback page acts as an intermediary interface that mediates between the video playback function and the recommended video display function. It allows both functions to coexist without interference, maintaining playback reliability while enabling enriched video-related interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a method, apparatus, device and storage medium for video processing. The method includes: first, in response to a preset trigger operation on a first playback page corresponding to a first video, obtaining playback progress of the first video, and displaying a second playback page; then, continuing to play the first video based on the playback progress in a preset playback window on the second playback page; and presenting a related recommended video list of the first video in a preset area on the second playback page, wherein the related recommended video list of the first video includes at least one recommended video corresponding to the first video. Apparently, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the related recommended video list of the first video is presented while the first video is played, so that the user may browse the related recommended video of the first video in the process of watching the first video. Therefore, the video-based interaction functions are enriched, and the video interaction experience of the user is improved.
