Video Playback Progress Control for Fast-Forward Without UI Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video playback technologies lack diverse interactive functions, which hinders enhanced user experience during video watching.
Innovation Solution
Implement a pure video playback mode triggered by a touch-and-hold operation in a preset playback control region, hiding function controls and enabling fast-forward playback, with optional speed control via touch-and-hold or tap operations on the playback speed control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If function controls are displayed on the video playback page, then users can access various playback functions, but the visual interference increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts function controls from the main video playback area and relocates them to a dedicated playback control region. This separation removes visual interference from the video content while preserving function control accessibility. The progress bar and other controls are taken out from overlaying the video and placed in a separate area below the video player.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the video playback interface into distinct functional regions: the video display area and the playback control region. This segmentation allows the video content to be viewed without interference from controls, while controls remain accessible in their dedicated region. The progress bar is segmented from the video content and placed in the control region.
2Ease of operation
If users interact with function controls during video playback, then playback functions can be controlled, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple playback control functions into the progress bar region. The progress bar serves both as a visual indicator of playback progress and as a control region for seeking, pausing, and other interactions. This consolidation reduces the number of separate controls users must interact with, simplifying the interface while maintaining comprehensive playback control capabilities.
3Loss of information
If the progress bar is displayed during video playback, then users can track playback progress, but the display space for video content is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent relocates the progress bar from a horizontal overlay on the video content to a vertical or horizontal region below the video player. This dimensional relocation allows the progress bar to be displayed without reducing the video display area. The progress information is moved to another spatial dimension (below the video) rather than overlaying the video content.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a video playback progress control method, apparatus, and device, and a storage medium. The method includes: entering a pure video playback mode in response to a touch-and-hold operation acting in a preset playback control region on a video playback page of a first video; and continuing to play the first video at a preset fast-forward speed on the video playback page in the pure video playback mode, where the preset playback control region is determined based on a display position of a playback control progress bar, and the pure video playback mode is used to hide a function control displayed on the video playback page.
