Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video stream scenarios interrupt user experience by requiring users to wait for resource downloads to complete, leading to disrupted viewing rhythms or premature termination of downloads due to eagerness to view subsequent videos.

Innovation Solution

A resource download method that includes displaying a download progress description and prompt objects on the video playback page, indicating that video switching does not interrupt the download process, and providing prompts for complete download status, ensuring uninterrupted viewing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users wait for resource downloads to complete before switching videos, then download reliability is improved, but user experience and viewing rhythm are disrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedownload reliabilityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs download actions in advance and allows them to continue in the background without requiring user presence or video playback continuity. The download process is initiated and then decoupled from the video viewing session, enabling users to switch videos or exit without interrupting the pre-started download operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If users switch videos immediately to view subsequent content, then user experience is improved, but download completion rate decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoiddownload completion rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The download process continues uninterrupted in the background even after the user switches videos or exits the application. The system maintains the download operation's continuity independently of the video playback state, ensuring that the useful action of downloading completes successfully regardless of user navigation behavior.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Loss of information

If download progress and status are clearly displayed, then information completeness is improved, but interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedownload status informationVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into distinct functional elements: a download control button for initiating downloads, a progress indicator showing download status, and a prompt object informing users about background download capability. Each element serves a specific information purpose without creating overall interface complexity, as they are simple, separate components rather than a complex integrated system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A resource download method, apparatus, device, medium and product are disclosed in the present application. The method includes: in response to a trigger operation for a resource download control displayed in a video playback page, adding and displaying a download progress description object and a first prompt object in the video playback page, wherein the resource download control is used to trigger a download process of a resource associated with a first video displayed in the video playback page, and the download progress description object is used to describe a download progress of the resource; after switching the first video displayed in the video playback page to a second video, in response to determining that the resource has been completely downloaded, adding and displaying a second prompt object in the video playback page, wherein the second prompt object is used to prompt that the resource has been completely downloaded.
