In this step, in the process that the video playing client normally plays the video program, the client plays the advertisement according to the advertisement processing mode selected by the user, and the initial video description file needs to be updated under the condition that the user selects the delayed playing advertisement, so as to realize the delayed playing of the advertisement.

As an alternative embodiment, the advertisement processing mode includes at least one of the following:

starting to play the advertisement after delaying the third time length;

and delaying to the target time point to start playing the advertisement.

Optionally, the third time period is any one of:

a preset fixed time length; for example, the user can only select to play the advertisement after delaying for N minutes, where N is 3, 5, 10 minutes, etc.; the user can select the advertisement playing to delay K times at most;

the video playing client determines the time length in real time according to the currently played video content; the video playing client intelligently selects the time point of the delayed playing of the advertisement according to the video content, for example, the video playing client identifies factors such as the shot and the wonderful degree watched by the current user, and intelligently puts the time point of the advertisement playing after the wonderful content is finished; the user can select the advertisement playing to delay K times at most;

the video server determines the time length in real time according to the currently played video content; the video server intelligently selects the time point of the delayed advertisement playing according to the video content, for example, the system identifies factors such as the lens watched by the current user, the wonderful degree and the like, and intelligently puts the time point of the advertisement playing after the wonderful content is finished; the user may choose to defer the advertisement play up to K times.

The target time point is any one of the following items:

a time point selected by a user in a mode of dragging and dropping video thumbnail browsing; for example, a user can directly drag an advertisement slot, the advertisement slot plays the abbreviated fast-playing content of the video, and the user determines the advertisement playing time point specified by the user through the abbreviated fast-playing content of the video; the user can select the advertisement playing to delay K times at most;

the video playing client determines a time point in real time according to the currently played video content; the video playing client intelligently selects the time point of the delayed playing of the advertisement according to the video content, for example, the video playing client identifies factors such as the shot and the wonderful degree watched by the current user, and intelligently puts the time point of the advertisement playing after the wonderful content is finished; the user can select the advertisement to be played and postponed for K times at most

The video server determines a time point in real time according to the currently played video content; the video server intelligently selects the time point of the delayed advertisement playing according to the video content, for example, the system identifies factors such as the lens watched by the current user, the wonderful degree and the like, and intelligently puts the time point of the advertisement playing after the wonderful content is finished; the user may choose to defer the advertisement play up to K times.
