Solution Overview

Problem

Existing e-commerce applications struggle to meet diverse interactive function requirements, particularly in information display methods, which hinders user experience.

Innovation Solution

An interaction method and apparatus that displays a video playback page with a target object, triggering a search result display or guidance page upon user interaction, enhancing search efficiency by minimizing user operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional search interfaces are used in e-commerce applications, then users can perform searches, but the search efficiency is low and user experience is hindered due to multiple operation steps required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch efficiencyVSAvoiduser operation steps
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically collecting target object search instructions and triggering search result display pages without requiring users to manually initiate search operations. The video playback page automatically collects search instructions and triggers relevant search result pages based on preset trigger conditions, eliminating the need for users to perform multiple manual search steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The video playback page performs self-service by automatically collecting search instructions and triggering search result display pages based on user viewing behavior and preset trigger conditions. The system serves itself by detecting when search results should be displayed and automatically navigating to relevant search result pages without requiring additional user intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If diverse interactive function requirements are met through traditional interfaces, then functionality is provided, but the interface complexity increases and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive function requirementsVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video playback page achieves universality by serving multiple functions: it not only plays videos but also automatically collects search instructions, determines when to display search result pages, and triggers navigation to relevant search results. This multi-functional design allows a single interface to handle both video playback and search functionality without increasing overall interface complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges the video playback function with the search function by integrating search instruction collection and search result display triggering directly into the video playback page. This consolidation combines multiple previously separate operations into a unified interface, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining diverse interactive capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The disclosure relates to an interaction method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method includes: displaying a video playback page, where the video playback page is used for playing a target video, and the target video is associated with a target object; displaying a target object search result display page and/or a guidance page if first operation information on the video playback page by a user satisfies a preset trigger condition and a target object search instruction is collected, where the guidance page includes search prompt information, and the search prompt information is used for showing an entry into the target object search result display page; and the target object search result display page is used for displaying search results related to the target object.
