Voice Input Button for Bullet Screen Comments on Mobile Video
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bullet screen posting methods disrupt the video watching experience by requiring users to navigate to an input interface, where the comment input box occupies a significant portion of the screen, hindering normal video playback.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that display a voice input button on the video playing interface, allowing users to input voice comments by pressing and holding the button, which are then converted to text and posted without leaving the video playback interface, using a voice conversion module and sending a bullet screen posting request to a background server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the mobile terminal jumps to an input interface for comment input, then the comment can be entered, but the input box occupies the entire screen or a large part of the screen, affecting normal video watching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces voice input as a new dimension of interaction, allowing users to input comments through speech rather than text typing. This changes the input method from a two-dimensional text entry interface to a voice-based interaction that occurs within the video playing interface, avoiding the need to switch to a full-screen input interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the comment input function from the traditional text input interface and integrates it directly into the video playing interface through a voice input button. This allows the comment input functionality to be accessed without leaving the video playback context, thus preventing the screen from being occupied by a separate input interface.
2Ease of operation
If the input box occupies a large part of the screen, then the comment can be entered, but normal watching of the video is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the comment input functionality with the video playing interface by placing a voice input button within the video playback area. This integration allows users to post comments without leaving the video context, maintaining the video watching experience while enabling easy comment input through voice commands.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical text typing process with voice-based input. Instead of requiring users to manually type comments in a text input box, the system captures voice input and converts it to text, thereby eliminating the need for a large text input interface and preserving the video watching experience.
3Productivity
If users manually type comments, then the comment can be posted, but the risk of input errors increases on small mobile terminals
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual text typing with voice-based input and automatic voice-to-text conversion. This substitution eliminates the need for users to manually type comments on small mobile screens, thereby reducing input errors and improving both the efficiency and accuracy of comment posting.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides self-service by automatically converting voice input into text comments. The voice conversion module processes the user's speech and generates the corresponding text without requiring manual typing, thereby reducing input errors and improving comment posting accuracy on mobile terminals.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables users to post bullet screen comments without interrupting video playback, improving user experience by reducing screen occupation and lowering the risk of input errors on small mobile terminals, while maintaining accurate and efficient comment posting.
Implementation Method 1
invoking a voice conversion module, and converting the voice information into text information by using the voice conversion module
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a bullet screen posting method and apparatus, and belongs to the field of video playing technologies. The method includes: displaying a voice input button on a playing interface during a process of playing a video; receiving a press-and-hold signal acting on the voice input button; collecting voice information by using a microphone within duration of the press-and-hold signal; invoking a voice conversion module, and converting the voice information into text information by using the voice conversion module; and sending, by a video playing application, a bullet screen posting request to a background server, where the bullet screen posting request carries the text information. The method resolves a problem in the related technologies that when a user enters a comment in an input box, an input interface occupies an entire screen or occupies a large part of a screen, and normal watching of a video by the user is affected.
