Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video playback systems require complex operations like long-pressing and clicking to provide interactive feedback, making it difficult to understand and execute controls such as 'Not Interested' for uninteresting videos.

Innovation Solution

A video processing method that allows users to swipe up or down on a video playback page to trigger a preset event region, which simplifies the interaction by displaying a 'Not Interested' control, adjusting its size and color, and providing tactile feedback to confirm the action.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the 'Not Interested' control is hidden beneath a popup panel, then the interface can accommodate more controls, but it increases operation cost and makes it difficult for users to understand and execute the control

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface control capacityVSAvoiduser operation cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the 'Not Interested' control from the hidden popup panel and displays it directly on the video player interface. This allows the control to be immediately accessible to users without requiring them to long-press and open a panel, thereby reducing operation cost while maintaining the ability to accommodate multiple controls through other UI elements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a popup panel that appears between the user's swipe gesture and the 'Not Interested' control activation. This intermediary panel provides visual feedback and confirmation to users, making the hidden control mechanism more understandable while still allowing access to additional controls within the panel

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the 'Not Interested' control requires long-pressing and clicking operations, then more interactive functionalities can be provided, but it increases operation cost and reduces user feedback penetration rate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive functionalityVSAvoiduser feedback penetration rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent positions the 'Not Interested' control in a predetermined location on the video player interface and makes it accessible through a simple swipe gesture. This preliminary positioning allows users to quickly provide feedback without needing to perform complex sequences of operations, thereby increasing the penetration rate of user feedback while maintaining rich interactive functionalities through other means

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the control interface is simplified to reduce operation cost, then user feedback penetration rate increases, but the ability to provide comprehensive interactive functionalities may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoidinteractive functionality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a popup panel that serves multiple functions: it confirms the 'Not Interested' feedback, provides additional control options, and gives visual feedback to users. This multi-functional design allows the interface to remain simple for the primary function while accommodating comprehensive interactive functionalities through the versatile popup mechanism

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