Solution Overview

Problem

The process of switching from media resources to a browser or application for searching information is cumbersome and inefficient, particularly when users need to search for related content during video playback.

Innovation Solution

An information display method and apparatus that synchronously displays a search box with recommended search information on a video playing page, allowing seamless switching of multimedia resources while updating the search information in response to user interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a user exits the media resources to search for information using a browser or application, then the search function can be accessed, but the operation process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of search operationVSAvoidtime for information acquisition
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the search function with the media playback interface by embedding a search box directly on the video playing page. This allows users to access search functionality without exiting the media resource, combining two previously separate operations (media playback and information search) into a single integrated interface, thereby reducing operational steps and time loss

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If a search box is displayed on the video playing page, then the ease of operation for searching is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of search operationVSAvoidcomplexity of information display system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The search box is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a static display element showing recommended search information and as an interactive input field for user queries. It automatically updates based on the currently played multimedia resource, providing multiple functions (display, interaction, dynamic updating) within a single component, thereby reducing the need for additional separate systems

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

3Loss of information

If the search information is updated when multimedia resource is switched, then the relevance of search information is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverelevance of search informationVSAvoidcomplexity of information update mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the search box automatically detects changes in the played multimedia resource and updates the recommended search information accordingly. When a user switches videos or media content, the system receives feedback about the new resource and dynamically adjusts the search recommendations, ensuring continuous relevance without requiring manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The search information update mechanism operates autonomously by monitoring the currently played multimedia resource and automatically refreshing the search box content. The system serves itself by detecting resource changes and updating search recommendations without requiring additional user actions or complex external control systems, thereby maintaining simplicity while ensuring information relevance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

This disclosure describes techniques for displaying information. A search box is displayed in a first preset area of a page, and a first multimedia resource is played in a second preset area of the same page where the search box is displayed. First recommended search information related to the first multimedia resource is synchronously displayed in the search box while playing the first multimedia resource. The first multimedia resource is switched to a second multimedia resource in the second preset area and playing the second multimedia resource in response to a trigger operation. It is synchronously switched to display second recommended search information related to the second multimedia resource in the search box when switching the first multimedia resource to the second multimedia resource.
