Solution Overview

Problem

Existing short video applications face challenges in implementing complex interactive operations, such as triggering hidden components like easter eggs, due to conflicts between native operation logic and hidden component triggers, leading to incomplete or inaccurate user interactions.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for determining a target trigger region on a video playback interface through gesture detection, distinguishing between hidden and video components based on detection results, and invoking appropriate functions to avoid logical conflicts, including dynamic adjustment and real-time object recognition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If gesture operations are used for video playback interface, then user interaction convenience is improved, but logical conflicts between native operation logic and hidden component triggers occur

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser interaction convenienceVSAvoidinteraction accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The video playback interface is divided into multiple trigger regions, each associated with different components (hidden component or video component). By segmenting the interface into distinct functional zones, the system can accurately determine which component should respond to a gesture operation based on the contact position, thereby avoiding logical conflicts between different operation logics.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A target trigger region detection mechanism serves as an intermediary between the gesture operation and the component triggering. This intermediary layer analyzes the contact position and determines the appropriate target component, ensuring that gesture operations are correctly routed to the intended function without causing logical conflicts.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If hidden components are added to video playback interface, then interaction interestingness is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinteraction interestingnessVSAvoidcomponent complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The hidden component is nested within the video playback interface as an overlay layer. The hidden component's UI elements are positioned on top of the video content, allowing the system to add interactive functionality without creating a separate complex interface structure. This nesting approach maintains simplicity while enabling diverse interactions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the video playback interface are assigned different functionalities - some regions trigger hidden components while others trigger video component operations. By applying local quality differentiation, the system adds interaction diversity only where needed without complicating the entire interface structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If target trigger region detection is implemented, then interaction precision is improved, but detection complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontact position detection accuracyVSAvoiddetection mechanism complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses the existing touch event detection capability of the terminal device to obtain contact position information. Rather than implementing a separate detection mechanism, the system leverages the device's native touch detection service, thereby achieving precise trigger region detection without adding significant complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces complex physical detection mechanisms with software-based coordinate analysis. By substituting mechanical detection with digital coordinate processing, the system achieves high detection precision while maintaining low implementation complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
