Video Pop-Up Window Layout for Fast Hot Topic Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for switching between hot topics on websites or software pages require users to repeatedly navigate between multiple pages, consuming server resources and affecting response speed, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that allows a pop-up window to display multiple candidate hot topics in a horizontally scrolled manner, with the current topic partially visible at the boundary, enabling users to view additional topics without leaving the primary page.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users navigate between multiple pages to switch hot topics, then users can access different hot topic information, but server resources are occupied and response speed is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds a pop-up window containing hot topic statistics page content within the hot video playing page. The pop-up window displays multiple candidate hot topics in a horizontally scrolled manner, allowing users to switch topics without leaving the current page. This nesting structure eliminates the need for repeated page navigation, reducing server resource overhead and improving response speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from traditional vertical page navigation to a horizontal scrolling dimension within the pop-up window. Multiple hot topic video prompt screens are arranged horizontally, allowing users to browse and switch between hot topics by horizontal scrolling, thereby accessing multiple topics without page reloads.
2Ease of operation
If users navigate between multiple pages to switch hot topics, then users can access different hot topic information, but user experience is degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The pop-up window is nested within the hot video playing page, providing immediate access to hot topic statistics without requiring users to leave the current context. Users can view and switch between hot topics directly in the pop-up window, eliminating the time-consuming back-and-forth navigation between pages.
Solution Approach 2:
The pop-up window pre-displays multiple candidate hot topics in a horizontally scrolled format. Users can preview multiple hot topics before selecting one, and the system maintains the current hot topic context. This preliminary display of options allows users to make informed selections quickly without repeated page loads.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the pop-up window displays all candidate hot topics, then users can view more options, but the current hot topic may be obscured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different display qualities to different regions within the pop-up window. The video prompt screen corresponding to the current hot topic (first target hot topic) is partially displayed at the boundary of the pop-up window, while other candidate hot topics are displayed in the main area. This local differentiation ensures the current topic remains visible while showcasing multiple options.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses horizontal scrolling to arrange multiple hot topic video prompt screens side by side. The current hot topic's video prompt screen is positioned at the boundary (edge) of the pop-up window, allowing it to be partially visible while other candidate topics occupy the central viewing area. This spatial arrangement in horizontal dimension maintains awareness of the current topic while presenting alternatives.
