Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video recommendation systems fail to push high-quality content videos without user-initiated selection, leading to complex user operations and reduced accuracy in recommending videos that meet user intentions.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that transmit a video obtaining request in response to a play trigger, receiving and playing a first video and similar videos in separate display regions, allowing for automatic video recommendations without returning to the outer stream interface, thus improving user convenience and accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users actively choose videos based on video covers in the outer stream, then user selection accuracy is improved, but videos without characteristic covers but with high-quality content cannot be pushed to users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo recommendation accuracyVSAvoiduser interaction requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically pushes recommended videos to users without requiring active user selection. The video recommendation apparatus analyzes user preferences and automatically sends videos to the user's terminal device, enabling the system to serve itself rather than relying on users to actively search and select content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary video selection and preparation before user interaction. By analyzing user preferences in advance and pre-selecting appropriate videos, the system can push content to users before they actively search, eliminating the need for users to manually browse and select from many options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If users return to outer stream interface to select videos, then video selection flexibility is improved, but processing time and user convenience are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo selection flexibilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into different functional regions: a first display region shows video covers from the outer stream, while a second display region shows recommended videos from the inner stream. This segmentation allows users to access different video sources simultaneously without needing to return to the outer stream interface, reducing navigation time while maintaining selection flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a new dimension to the traditional two-interface navigation model by introducing an inner stream display interface that operates parallel to the outer stream interface. This dimensional expansion allows users to access recommended videos without leaving the current interface, eliminating the need to return to the outer stream while maintaining the ability to browse various video options.

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

3Ease of operation

If the system pushes videos automatically, then user convenience is improved, but video recommendation accuracy may be worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction requirementVSAvoidvideo recommendation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms to continuously improve recommendation accuracy. By monitoring user interactions with pushed videos and adjusting the recommendation algorithm accordingly, the system refines its understanding of user preferences over time, ensuring that automatic video pushing becomes increasingly accurate and tailored to individual users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a video recommendation method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The video recommendation method includes: transmitting a video obtaining request to a server in response to receiving a play trigger operation for target preview information in preview information displayed on a first display interface, the video obtaining request carrying identification information of a first video corresponding to the target preview information; receiving, from the server, the first video, a second video having a video similarity satisfying a first predetermined condition with the first video, and corresponding second video preview information; and playing the first video through a first region of a second display interface, and displaying a first predetermined number of pieces of preview information within the second video preview information through a second region of the second display interface, the second display interface including the first region and the second region.
