Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video processing technologies fail to enrich interactive functions to meet diverse user requirements and enhance user experience.

Innovation Solution

A video processing method that allows switching from a single-column video stream on a playing page to a two-column stream on a list page via a pinching operation, enabling interactive functions such as sliding, searching, and previewing videos, and allowing transitions between different video streams based on user preferences and recommendations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single-column video stream is displayed on the video playing page, then the video playback function is simple and clear, but the interactive functions are not enriched and user experience is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive functionsVSAvoidpage structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic page transformation where the video playing page can transition to a video list page through a pinching operation. The page structure changes from a single-column video stream to a two-column video stream, allowing the system to adapt between simple playback mode and enriched interactive mode based on user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of interaction by adding the video list page with two-column layout as an additional view dimension. Users can switch between the video playing page (single-column) and video list page (two-column) to access different functional modes, enriching the overall system capabilities without permanently complicating the base structure.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple video classification tabs are provided, then video categorization is comprehensive, but the interface becomes complex and difficult to operate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo categorizationVSAvoidinterface operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the video list functionality into a separate page (video list page) that is accessed through pinching operation. This separates the comprehensive video categorization features from the simple video playback interface, allowing users to access detailed categorization only when needed while maintaining simplicity during normal playback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The pinching operation serves as an intermediary mechanism that mediates between the simple video playing page and the comprehensive video list page. This gesture-based transition provides an intuitive and easy way to switch between views without adding complex navigation elements to either page.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Quantity of substance

If a two-column video stream is displayed on the video list page, then more videos can be viewed simultaneously, but the display layout becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of videos displayedVSAvoiddisplay layout
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the video display into two distinct columns on the video list page, allowing simultaneous display of multiple videos. This segmentation organizes the increased quantity of displayed content into a structured layout that is easier to navigate compared to a single crowded column, balancing information density with visual organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Provided in the present disclosure are a video processing method, apparatus and device, and a storage medium. The method comprises: in response to a preset pinching operation acting on a video playing page, skipping from the video playing page to a video list page, wherein the video playing page corresponds to at least one video classification tag, each video classification tag corresponds to a video stream, and videos in a first video stream corresponding to a first video classification tag are presented on the video playing page in the form of a single column; and presenting videos in a second video stream on the video list page in the form of double columns, wherein the second video stream is different from video streams respectively corresponding to the video classification tags. According to the present disclosure, the function of switching from a first video stream presented on a video playing page to a second video stream presented on a video list page is provided by means of a preset pinching operation acting on the video playing page; and videos in the second video stream can also be presented in the form of double columns, thereby enriching a video-based interaction function, and improving the user experience.
