Synchronized Video Sharing During Real-Time Calls
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video call systems do not allow users to share videos in real-time during calls, limiting the interactive experience and depth of interaction among users.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that switches a call interface to a sharing interface upon detecting a video sharing event, enabling simultaneous video viewing and real-time communication between users, with features like interactive controls and privacy protection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users share a video during a real-time call, then video sharing functionality is achieved, but the call interface cannot be maintained simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the video sharing interface with the real-time call interface into a single unified interface. This allows both video sharing and real-time calling to occur simultaneously without requiring users to switch between separate interfaces, thereby achieving both video sharing capability and maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The call interface is designed to serve multiple functions: it can display real-time call content, share videos, and maintain communication all within the same interface. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for interface switching while preserving both video sharing and real-time call capabilities.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the call interface is switched to a sharing interface for video display, then video sharing is enabled, but real-time call communication is interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines video sharing display and real-time call communication within the same interface framework. The call audio stream and video sharing visual content coexist simultaneously, ensuring that call communication continuity is maintained while video sharing functionality is activated.
Solution Approach 2:
The real-time call communication continues uninterrupted during video sharing. The system maintains the call audio stream active while overlaying or displaying the shared video content, ensuring continuous useful action for both communication and sharing purposes.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a separate sharing interface is used for video sharing, then video content can be displayed, but user interaction depth is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges video sharing controls and call controls into a single integrated interface structure. This unified design reduces overall interface structural complexity compared to having separate sharing and call interfaces, while still providing both video sharing capability and call functionality.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a video sharing method, apparatus, device and medium. Wherein, the video sharing method is used for an electronic device of a first user, comprising: displaying a target call interface, the target call interface being used to make a real-time call between the first user and at least one second user; when a video sharing event is triggered, the target call Interface is switched to be displayed as a target sharing interface, the target sharing interface being used to display a first video shared between the first user and the at least one second user and to keep the real-time call between the first user and the at least one second user. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, it enables the first user and the second user to watch the first video synchronously, and realize sharing of the first video.
