Solution Overview

Problem

There is a challenge in using Virtual Reality (VR) technology for comprehensive presentation of multimedia information, as existing methods struggle to effectively display and control multimedia files within virtual environments.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves an information presentation method and apparatus for an extended reality (XR) terminal device, which includes entering a virtual reality space, receiving a media playing instruction, displaying a playing page for a target multimedia file, presenting a playing controlling panel with a control region and a non-control region, and displaying related information in the non-control region.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a playing page of a target multimedia file is displayed in a virtual reality space, then the multimedia file can be played, but the comprehensive presentation of multimedia information is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive presentation of multimedia informationVSAvoidcomplexity of information presentation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The playing controlling panel is segmented into a control region and a non-control region. The control region contains playback control buttons, while the non-control region displays multimedia file information such as title, artist, and album. This segmentation allows comprehensive information presentation while maintaining clear functional organization and avoiding system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If a playing controlling panel is used to control the target multimedia file, then playback control is enabled, but the display space for multimedia information is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayback control capabilityVSAvoiddisplay space for multimedia information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The playing controlling panel is divided into distinct control and non-control regions. The control region houses playback controls while the non-control region is dedicated to displaying multimedia information. This spatial segmentation ensures that control functionality is preserved while maximizing the display area for information presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The interface utilizes the three-dimensional virtual reality space to arrange control and information display regions in different spatial positions and orientations. This dimensional arrangement allows both control elements and information to be displayed without competing for the same two-dimensional screen space, effectively increasing the available display area while maintaining ease of operation.

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

3Loss of information

If information related to the multimedia file is presented in the non-control region, then comprehensive information is displayed, but the control region may become cluttered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation display completenessVSAvoidcontrol region organization
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The playing controlling panel is clearly segmented into a control region for playback operations and a non-control region for information display. This segmentation prevents information elements from cluttering the control region, maintaining clear functional zones and simplifying the overall control region organization while achieving comprehensive information presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
