Solution Overview

Problem

Current video recommendation systems lack variety in user interactions, limiting the ability for multiple users to communicate and comment on videos simultaneously, which affects user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allows users to recommend videos with additional comments, enabling multiple users to interact and comment on the same video, with the system storing and displaying recommendation information on a playback interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If video recommendation is implemented with basic user information only, then the system is simple to operate, but the interaction variety and user experience are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction varietyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The recommendation information is segmented into multiple components: basic user information, recommendation comments, and user interactions. This segmentation allows the system to progressively build interaction variety by adding comment functionality and multiple user participation without overwhelming complexity, as each component can be developed and managed independently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from one-dimensional basic user information to multi-dimensional interaction by adding temporal dimension (multiple users recommending over time) and content dimension (recommendation comments). This dimensional expansion enables richer interactions while maintaining the original simple user information structure as a foundation

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

2Loss of information

If multiple users can comment on video recommendations, then user communication and interaction are enhanced, but the data processing and storage complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication effectivenessVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple user comments and recommendations are merged into a single consolidated data structure (second video information) that combines all recommendation information. This merging approach preserves complete communication information from multiple users while simplifying storage and processing by treating the consolidated data as a unified entity rather than managing separate comment streams

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If recommendation comments from multiple users are displayed, then user experience and interaction variety are improved, but the interface complexity and information display burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction capabilityVSAvoidinterface usability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The playback interface is enhanced with a universal comment panel that serves multiple functions: displaying recommendation comments from multiple users, providing interaction controls for users to add their own comments, and maintaining the original video playback functionality. This multi-functional panel consolidates various interaction capabilities into a single unified interface element, preserving ease of operation while enabling rich user communication

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a method, apparatus, and electronic device for processing of video recommendations. The present disclosure enables: at least one of second users can recommend a video to a first user, and when recommending the video, the second user can add own recommendation comment on the video, and the first user sees the comment on the video from the at least one of second users on a playback interface of a first client, and can also conduct operations such as comment, like, etc. on the comment by the second user, and can further recommend the video to a third user.
