Video Player Volume Line Switching to Prevent Display Obstruction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional video player software disrupts the user's viewing experience when adjusting sound volume, as the volume display is typically centered and obstructive.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that switch the video player's progress bar to a volume line on the interface in response to volume adjusting instructions, displaying the volume change process without obstructing the video view, and optionally hiding the volume view to prevent disturbance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the volume view is displayed in the central position of the video player interface, then the user can easily know the volume adjusting process, but the volume view influences the user viewing the video
Solution Approach 1:
The volume adjustment interface is extracted from the central video display area and relocated to the video player control bar at the bottom of the screen. This separation allows the volume control functionality to be independently accessed without obstructing the video content, resolving the contradiction between ease of volume adjustment and video viewing clarity
Solution Approach 2:
The volume control is moved from the two-dimensional central display area to the one-dimensional control bar at the bottom edge of the screen. This dimensional relocation allows volume adjustment to occur in a separate spatial zone that does not interfere with the main video viewing area, eliminating the obstruction problem while maintaining accessibility
2Loss of information
If the volume view is displayed markedly to make it easy for the user to know the volume adjusting process, then the user can easily monitor volume changes, but the volume view obstructs the video display
Solution Approach 1:
The volume adjustment interface elements (volume slider, volume buttons) are extracted from the central video display area and relocated to the control bar at the bottom of the screen. This extraction allows volume information to be displayed and adjusted without occupying screen real estate that would otherwise be dedicated to video content, thus preventing obstruction while maintaining visibility
Solution Approach 2:
The volume control functionality is localized to the control bar region at the bottom of the screen, rather than being distributed across the central video area. This localization concentrates the volume adjustment interface in a specific area that does not interfere with the main video display, allowing marked volume indicators without obstructing the video content

AI summary
A method for displaying sound volume, a device for displaying sound volume, terminal equipment and a storage medium are provided. The method for displaying sound volume includes acquiring a volume adjusting instruction on a video displaying interface and switching a playing progress bar on the video displaying interface to a volume line and displaying on the volume line a process of changing a length of the volume line in accordance with the volume adjusting instruction.
