Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies obstruct online videos with presentation content displayed in small windows, leading to low effectiveness as users subconsciously close these windows to watch videos clearly.

Innovation Solution

A method to determine a presentation time point and position for presentation content relative to a video's caption and edge, allowing it to be displayed in a target region without obstructing the video, ensuring the content is shown effectively without user interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If presentation content is displayed in small windows during online video playing, then information can be pushed to users, but the presentation content obstructs the online video and users close it immediately

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepresentation content deliveryVSAvoidvideo obstruction
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent positions presentation content in the vertical dimension between the caption and video edge rather than using separate small windows. This dimensional placement allows information to be delivered without obstructing the main video content, as the presentation content integrates into the existing video layout space.

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

2Productivity

If presentation content is displayed during video playing, then user engagement with information increases, but user experience deteriorates due to obstruction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation delivery effectivenessVSAvoidvideo watching experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by placing presentation content in a specific localized region between the caption and video edge. This localized placement ensures that information is delivered effectively in a designated area while the rest of the video remains unobstructed, maintaining overall viewing experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Quantity of substance

If presentation content covers the video in small windows, then multiple information channels are provided, but the content is closed immediately reducing effectiveness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation channelsVSAvoidcontent display duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the presentation content with the video playback interface by positioning it within the video display area between the caption and edge. This merging eliminates the need for separate small windows, allowing information to be delivered continuously without requiring users to open or close separate content channels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A method includes: determining, when a target video is played, a presentation time point corresponding to presentation content of the target video, the presentation content and the target video having been retrieved as separate content items by the device from one or more remote servers; acquiring a display position of a closed caption of the target video and a position of a video edge that is located closest to the closed caption on the display; determining a target presentation region between the closed caption and the video edge according to the position of the closed caption and the position of the video edge; and displaying the presentation content in the target presentation region when the target video is played to the presentation time point corresponding to the presentation content.
