Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.

Example one

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a video playing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is applicable to a situation of playing a video. The method can be implemented by a video playing apparatus, which is configured in a client such as a computer device, and can be specifically implemented by software and/or hardware in the device.

As shown in fig. 1, the video playing method specifically includes the following steps:

s110, monitoring the remaining playing time of the currently played video, and displaying a video playing mode selection control on the current video playing interface when the remaining playing time is less than the preset time.

The video playing interface can be an interface for displaying video content in a video playing application, and the played video can be a short video, a long video, or a small story video with the video duration between the short video and the long video. It will be appreciated that the shorter the time of the video, the more frequent the video switching will be, and in particular the short video will be played.

For example, the video playing interface may refer to a client video playing interface of a video playing application shown in fig. 2, where 101 is a video playing area, where the area may be the entire display screen or a part of the display screen, 102 is information content related to a title and/or a keyword of a currently playing video, 103 is a function control related to the video, and A, B, C and D correspond to different function controls respectively, for example, function controls such as a praise, a share, a comment, and a quit page.

Further, the preset duration may be 5 seconds or a duration set by the user according to the user requirement, and in this duration range, the user may react to perform the next operation. Specifically, when the remaining playing duration of the currently played video is less than the preset time, it indicates that the currently played video is about to be played, and the video playing interface is about to enter the next played video. At this time, the user may wish to enter the video interface that the user wants to watch, rather than the playing interface of the next video that the video playing platform randomly recommends to play. For example, if a user wants to watch a currently playing video repeatedly or watch a video associated with the currently playing video content, an interface for selecting needs to be provided for the user, so that the user can select according to the video watching needs.

In this embodiment, the video play mode selection control includes a first mode control, a second mode control, and a third mode control, and for example, refer to the control (i), the control (ii), and the control (iii) in fig. 2. The first mode control corresponds to a sequential playing mode, the second mode control corresponds to a random playing mode, and the third mode control corresponds to a repeated current video playing mode.

It should be noted that, in a client video playing interface, the position layout of the interface function control and the selection of a specific function may be adjusted according to the requirement of the video playing interface, and this implementation is only an exemplary illustration and is not limited specifically.

And S120, responding to the triggering operation of the user on the video playing mode selection control, and determining the video playing mode.

When a user triggers a corresponding video playing mode control in an appointed mode, the current video playing mode is switched to the corresponding video playing mode, and video playing is carried out according to the playing method of the corresponding video playing mode.

The appointed control triggering mode comprises at least one mode of single click, continuous click, long press or preset direction sliding or gesture induction and the like. It can be understood that, if the user does not trigger the video playing mode control, the video playing mode remains unchanged, and the video is continuously played according to the current video playing mode.

S130, playing the video according to the determined video playing mode, wherein the video playing mode comprises a sequential playing mode, a random playing mode and a repeated current video playing mode.

Specifically, when the video playing mode is the sequential switching playing mode, the video clips associated with the currently playing video in the video clips released by the publisher of the currently playing video are sequentially played. For example, the currently playing video is a second video segment cut out from a television play, and the video segment associated with the currently playing video is a third video segment of the television play that continues on the currently playing video content or a video segment associated with another video. And when the video playing mode is the repeated current video playing mode, repeatedly playing the current video until the user changes the video playing mode or quits the video playing interface. And when the video playing mode is a random video playing mode, randomly playing the video clips released by the publisher of the currently played video. Therefore, the video released by the same video publisher can be randomly played to watch the video segment related to the content of the currently played video or similar to the style of the currently played video.

According to the technical scheme, the method and the device have the advantages that the residual playing time of the video played by the user is monitored, the video playing mode selection control is set on the video playing interface according to the residual playing time, the video playing mode is switched by responding to the triggering selection operation of the user on the video playing mode selection control, the video is played according to the playing mode selected by the user, the flexible switching of the video playing mode among the sequential playing mode, the random playing mode and the repeated current video playing mode is achieved, the requirements of the user on video interaction modes in different scenes are met, the video can be automatically switched to the target to watch the video, the video can be repeatedly played, and the user experience is improved.

Example two

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a video playing method according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment further illustrates a method for playing a video in a sequential playing mode based on the above-mentioned embodiment. Wherein explanations of the same or corresponding terms as those of the above-described embodiments are omitted.

Referring to fig. 3, the video playing method provided in this embodiment specifically includes the following contents:

s210, monitoring the remaining playing time of the currently played video, and displaying a video playing mode selection control on the current video playing interface when the remaining playing time is less than the preset time.

And S220, responding to the triggering operation of the user on the sequential playing mode control, and determining that the video playing mode is the sequential playing mode.

Specifically, when the user selects the control (r) in fig. 2, the corresponding sequential play mode is selected, and the current video play mode is switched to the sequential play mode.

And S230, sequentially playing the video segments associated with the currently played video in the video segments issued by the publisher of the currently played video.

In the sequential play mode, a video segment that continues in content with the currently playing video may be played sequentially. For example, a video published by a video publisher is a series of videos under one topic, and video segments are named as XX on topic, XX in topic, and XX under topic in content or time order. Alternatively, the video released by the video publisher is a decomposed segment of story content such as a television show or a movie, and so on. Thereby ensuring that the user can completely watch the interested video content.

S240, when the video clips released by the publisher do not contain the video clips which are associated with the currently played video or are not played and are associated with the currently played video, sequencing according to the playing times of the video, and sequentially playing the video clips which are related to the currently played video content in the video playing platform.

Specifically, if the video published by the publisher of the currently playing video does not include the video segment associated with the currently playing video, or if the associated segments exist but are already played, the range of searching for the video resource is expanded, and the video associated with the currently playing video content is searched within the video resource range of the whole video playing platform for playing. The order of playing the videos can be played according to the order of the playing times of the videos. The video clips with more playing times show that the attention degree of the video contents is higher, and the interest probability of the user is higher.

Or, in an implementation manner, the video segments with the time interval from the video uploading time to the current time being small may be played in the sequence of the video uploading time.

And S250, when the user plays the last video clip of the currently played video again, displaying a repeated current video playing mode control on a video playing interface so that the user can select and determine whether to play the current video repeatedly.

That is to say, in the process of video playing, when the user actively switches the last playing video of the currently playing video to the current video, it indicates that the user wants to watch the played video again, and then an interface for selecting the video playing mode can be provided for the user on the video playing interface, so that the user can directly set the video playing mode to be the repeat playing. For example, referring to the contents shown in fig. 4, only the repeat play mode control is shown on the current video play interface.

It should be noted that, the step S250 and the above method steps are not strictly limited in sequence, and as long as a user actively switches a video played last in the video playing process, the step S250 may be skipped to, and a repeat playing mode control is popped up, so that the user can switch the video playing mode conveniently.

According to the technical scheme, the method comprises the steps of monitoring the residual playing time of the video played by the user, setting a video playing mode selection control in the video playing interface according to the residual playing time, responding to the trigger selection operation of the user on the sequential playing mode control to switch the playing mode of the video, sequentially playing the video clip associated with the currently played video in the video clip issued by the publisher of the currently played video, realizing the switching of the sequential playing mode of the video playing mode, displaying the repeated current video playing mode control in the video playing interface when the user plays the last video clip of the currently played video again, enabling the user to select and determine whether the current video needs to be played repeatedly, meeting the requirements of the user on video interaction modes in different scenes, and improving the user experience.

EXAMPLE III

Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a video playing method according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment further illustrates steps of a video playing method when a current video playing mode is repeated on the basis of the foregoing embodiment.

As shown in fig. 5, the video playing method in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

s310, monitoring the remaining playing time of the currently played video, and displaying a video playing mode selection control on the current video playing interface when the remaining playing time is less than the preset time.

And S320, responding to the triggering operation of the user on the control of the repeated playing current video playing mode, and determining that the video playing mode is the repeated current video playing mode.

Specifically, when the user selects the control c shown in fig. 2, the corresponding current video playback mode is selected, and the current video playback mode is switched to the current video playback mode.

S330, displaying a control for exiting the current playing mode on a video playing interface when the frequency of repeatedly playing the current playing video reaches a preset frequency.

And counting the repeated playing times in the process of repeatedly playing the current video, and if the repeated playing times reach the preset times, displaying a control for exiting the current playing mode on the video playing interface, namely stopping repeating the current video playing mode. For example, control (r) shown in fig. 6.

S340, in response to the triggering operation of the user on the control for exiting the current playing mode, recommending the video content related to the currently played video theme content for the user and playing the video content.

And when the user triggers the control for exiting the current play mode, the current video is not played repeatedly, and the video content related to the theme content of the currently played video is recommended to the user and played.

Or, in an embodiment, after exiting from the repeated current video playing mode, the video playing may be performed according to the previous video playing mode, or sequentially played, or randomly played, or performed according to the default playing mode of the video playing platform.

If the user does not trigger the exit of the current playing mode control within the set time, the control is hidden and is not displayed any more, and the current video is continuously and repeatedly played.

It can be understood that, when the same user sets different video playing modes in the same video application on different terminals, the video application on different terminals can perform video playing in different video playing modes.

Furthermore, in the process of playing the video, a preset number of videos to be played are cached in a data pool in advance, the data pool is a memory space used by the client to cache the video data acquired from the server, a video data source is provided for the video player, and at least one piece of video data is played in the data pool. The client can automatically or passively request the video data from the server under the operation of the user (the user pulls down or pulls up to refresh the video play list), and the content of the requested video data is determined according to the video play mode. For example, when the video playing mode is the sequential switching playing mode, a video clip associated with the currently playing video in the video clips published by the publisher of the currently playing video is requested, and the video clips are stored in the data pool according to the sequence of the video. And when the video playing mode is the random video playing mode, requesting the video clip issued by the issuer of the current playing video, and randomly putting the requested video clip into the data pool. And when the video playing mode is the default playing mode in the video playing platform, requesting the video according to the default playing rule, and caching the video into the data pool according to the video hot degree.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 7, 10 video information streams may be stored in the data pool as the data source for video playing, and in fig. 7(a), video information stream 1-video information stream 10 are stored, for a total of 10 video data. The area below the dotted line in the figure may be called the red line area, and the area above the dotted line is called the data security area. When the video is automatically switched to the video stream in the red line area, such as video stream 7, the client requests new video data from the server according to the rule for acquiring video in the current playing mode, and the played video streams 1-6 are removed from the data pool and temporarily stored in another storage space for standby. Then the data pool is as shown in fig. 7(b) after new video data is acquired. Video data stream 7-video data stream 12 have moved to the position of video information stream 1-video information stream 6 and the remaining positions are also filled with the new video data requested.

In one embodiment, the video data removed from the data pool is stored in another storage space, and may be deleted after a preset time according to a rule. Alternatively, when the client does not request new video data, the removed video data can be retrieved and played, for example, the video information stream 1-6 that has been removed are put into the data pool again, and then the client can play the videos again.

According to the technical scheme, the method and the device have the advantages that the residual playing time of the video played by the user is monitored, the video playing mode selection control is set on the video playing interface according to the residual playing time, the repeated current video playing mode is entered in response to the triggering selection operation of the user on the repeated current video playing mode selection control, the control exiting from the current playing mode is popped up after the repeated playing times reach a certain number so as to be selected by the user, the flexible switching of the video playing mode between the repeated current video playing mode and other playing modes is achieved, the requirements of the user on video interaction modes in different scenes are met, the user can automatically switch to the target to watch the video, the certain video can be played repeatedly, and the user experience is improved.

The electronic device 12 may further include other removable/non-removable, volatile/nonvolatile computer system storage media. By way of example only, storage system 34 may be used to read from and write to non-removable, nonvolatile magnetic media (not shown in FIG. 9, and commonly referred to as a "hard drive"). Although not shown in FIG. 9, a magnetic disk drive for reading from and writing to a removable, nonvolatile magnetic disk (e.g., a "floppy disk") and an optical disk drive for reading from or writing to a removable, nonvolatile optical disk (e.g., a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or other optical media) may be provided. In these cases, each drive may be connected to bus 18 by one or more data media interfaces. System memory 28 may include at least one program product having a set (e.g., at least one) of program modules that are configured to carry out the functions of embodiments of the invention.

A program/utility 40 having a set (at least one) of program modules 42 may be stored, for example, in system memory 28, such program modules 42 including, but not limited to, an operating system, one or more application programs, other program modules, and program data, each of which examples or some combination thereof may comprise an implementation of a network environment. Program modules 42 generally carry out the functions and/or methodologies of the described embodiments of the invention.

Electronic device 12 may also communicate with one or more external devices 14 (e.g., keyboard, pointing device, display 24, etc.), with one or more devices that enable a user to interact with electronic device 12, and/or with any devices (e.g., network card, modem, etc.) that enable electronic device 12 to communicate with one or more other computing devices. Such communication may be through an input/output (I/O) interface 22. Also, the electronic device 12 may communicate with one or more networks (e.g., a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), and/or a public network, such as the Internet) via the network adapter 20. As shown, the network adapter 20 communicates with other modules of the electronic device 12 via the bus 18. It should be understood that although not shown in the figures, other hardware and/or software modules may be used in conjunction with electronic device 12, including but not limited to: microcode, device drivers, redundant processing units, external disk drive arrays, RAID systems, tape drives, and data backup storage systems, among others.

The processing unit 16 executes various functional applications and data processing by executing programs stored in the system memory 28, for example, implementing a video playing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the method includes:

monitoring the remaining playing time of the currently played video, and displaying a video playing mode selection control on a current video playing interface when the remaining playing time is less than a preset time;
