Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by one of ordinary skill in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the scope of the claimed protection. In the present application, the embodiments and features of the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined with each other without conflict. Also, while a logical order is shown in the flow diagrams, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in an order different than here.

The terms "first" and "second" in the description and claims of the present application and the above-described drawings are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order. Furthermore, the term "comprises" and any variations thereof, which are intended to cover non-exclusive protection. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements listed, but may alternatively include other steps or elements not listed, or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. The "plurality" in the present application may mean at least two, for example, two, three or more, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

In addition, the term "and/or" herein is only one kind of association relationship describing an associated object, and means that there may be three kinds of relationships, for example, a and/or B, which may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship unless otherwise specified.

Some technical terms referred to herein are explained below to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.

1. Instant Messaging (IM), also called Instant Messaging, refers to a service capable of sending and receiving internet messages and the like in real time, allowing two or more people to communicate text messages, documents, voice and video in real time using a network, and has been developed into a comprehensive information platform integrating communication, information, entertainment, search, electronic commerce, office collaboration, enterprise customer service and the like.

2. A chat list, in an instant messaging service, the chat list may be used to carry window identifiers of chat conversation windows between instant messaging objects (also referred to as chat objects), and the window identifiers are used to identify corresponding chat conversation windows, for example, a group identifier (e.g., a group chat name) of a group chat or a user identifier (e.g., a user nickname) of a chat object of a private chat, and may further include last chat information in the chat conversation window, that is, the chat conversation window may be identified by the window identifier of the chat conversation window.

The chat list can be presented through a single interface or can be presented through a chat list window, and in an understanding manner, the interface for separately presenting the chat list can be regarded as a maximized chat list window, so the chat list can be also called as a chat list window or a chat list interface.

Referring to the schematic diagram of the chat list shown in fig. 1, where "MQ" represents the application name of the instant messaging application, followed by "32" represents that 32 messages are unread, the upper right corner of the page is represented by dashed boxes and dashed circles, e.g., where "+" is the add buddy control, the control circled by the dashed circle is the contact control, and the avatar framed by the rightmost dashed box is the avatar of the user currently using the instant messaging application. The current displayed 'recent chat' page lists window identifications corresponding to four chat conversation windows, namely 'leaf guess', 'baby health communication group', 'ant fast run', 'flower world', wherein the 'leaf guess' and the 'ant fast run' correspond to private chat windows, and the 'baby health communication group' and the 'flower world' correspond to group chat windows.

3. The chat conversation interface, which may also be called a chat conversation window or a chat window opening, is a window for directly performing instant message interaction with a chat object. The chat conversation window may include a group chat window and a private chat window, the group chat window is a chat window corresponding to an instant communication group, the instant communication group may include a plurality of chat objects, information sent by one chat object in the group chat window may be seen by all the other chat objects, and the private chat window only relates to message interaction between two users, for example, on the premise that the user a and the user B are social friends, the user a may chat online through the private chat window and the user B, or the user a may chat online through the group chat window and the user B corresponding to the group chat that the user a and the user B both join.

Referring to fig. 2, after the user clicks "leaf guess" from the chat list interface shown in the left diagram of fig. 2, the page jumps from the chat list interface to the chat conversation interface with "leaf guess" shown in the right diagram of fig. 2, so that the chat content between the user and the chat object called "leaf guess" can be seen, and during the chat process with "leaf guess", the user may communicate with the chat object through characters as shown in the right diagram of fig. 2, or may also communicate with the chat object through voice messages, and may also perform voice call or video call, etc.

The chat conversation window between "leaf guesses" and "leaf guesses" as shown in the right diagram of fig. 2 is a private chat window. Assuming that the user clicks the group identifier of the "baby health communication group" in the chat list interface, the user can jump to the group chat window corresponding to the "baby health communication group" from the chat list page.

As mentioned above, how to coexist the instant messaging function and the video playing function in the same screen is a problem to be considered. In the related technology, the coexistence of the chat list and the video playing window can be realized in a split screen mode, that is, the chat list and the video playing window are simultaneously displayed on one page, for the split screen technology, during operation, one application (for example, an instant messaging application) needs to be operated to open the chat list, then another application (for example, a video application) needs to be operated to open the video playing window, and then the two opened windows are simultaneously displayed in the same interface according to a certain split screen proportion through split screen operation. That is to say, in a split-screen mode in the related art, two applications are independent of each other and isolated, a user needs to operate the two applications respectively and then further implement coexistence of two windows in the same display interface through split-screen operation, in a same-screen coexistence scheme of split-screen display, the two applications are independent of each other, so that the user needs to operate the two applications respectively to implement coexistence of a chat list and a video playing window on the same screen, the user needs to switch back and forth between the two applications and also needs to perform additional split-screen operation to implement coexistence of the two windows on the same screen, and the user is troublesome to operate.

In view of the above, the inventors of the present application consider how to reduce the user operations and further achieve co-screen coexistence of the chat list and the video playing window, and based on this, the inventors of the present application consider that an association between the chat list and the video playing window is established, and the two functions, namely the instant messaging function and the video playing function, are linked through the association. On this basis, the inventor of the present application has proposed a scheme for controlling video playing, and specifically, a shortcut entry for playing a video is embedded in a chat list interface, the shortcut entry indicates, for example, through video entry indication information, the shortcut entry is equivalent to a centralized push entry for the video, the centralized push entry is associated with the video that can be played, after a user clicks the shortcut entry, a system can automatically determine or determine the video that needs to be played currently according to a selection operation of the user, and then play the video, and display the current chat list interface and a video playing window for playing the video on the same screen, thereby realizing the on-screen display of the chat list and the video playing window, and further providing a product interaction scheme in which the chat list and the video playing window coexist on the same screen.

Through the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, a user can directly play videos through the solidified video playing shortcut entry in the chat list interface, the co-screen coexistence of the video playing and the chat conversation window can be realized by simply performing one-time operation in the chat list interface, and the back-and-forth operation and switching between two mutually independent applications are not needed as required in the related technology, so that the efficiency of controlling the video playing in the process of chatting with other users can be improved, the use of the user is facilitated, and the use experience of the user can be improved. The quick and friendly man-machine interaction mode can realize the co-screen coexistence of the instant messaging function and the video playing function of the user, and is beneficial to improving the user viscosity.

In order to better understand the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, some brief descriptions are provided below for application scenarios to which the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application is applicable, and it should be noted that the application scenarios described below are only used for illustrating the embodiment of the present application and are not limited. In specific implementation, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can be flexibly applied according to actual needs.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is an Application scenario applicable to the embodiment of the present Application, where the Application scenario includes a terminal device 301 and an integrated server 302, a client corresponding to an integrated Application is installed in the terminal device 301, and the integrated Application in the embodiment of the present Application refers to an Application program capable of providing an instant messaging service and a video playing service at the same time, that is, the embodiment of the present Application is improved from an Application (APP) level and provides an Application integrating an instant messaging function and a video playing function at the same time, where the video playing service may be an online video service or a local video service, in other words, the integrated Application integrates functions of a conventional instant messaging Application and a video Application in the related art, so as to provide functions corresponding to the two applications at the same time. The integrated server 302 is a background server providing service support for the integrated application, and communication can be performed between the terminal device 301 and the integrated server 302. A user can log in a client of the integrated application installed in the terminal device 301, and after the chat list is opened, the user can operate a video playing shortcut entry displayed in the chat list to request the integrated server 302 to provide a video playing service, so that a video playing window can be simultaneously displayed in a display interface of the chat list, and the video playing window and the chat list can coexist on the same screen.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, only "integrated application" indicates an application that integrates both the instant messaging function and the video function, and in the implementation process, the "integrated application" may have other application names, for example, the "MQ" shown in fig. 2 may be understood as an application name of a specific "integrated application", and the embodiment of the present application is not limited.

The terminal device 301 in fig. 3 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a notebook computer, an intelligent wearable device (such as a smart watch and a smart helmet), a Personal computer, a smart television, a smart speaker, an in-vehicle smart device, or other devices capable of supporting both an instant messaging function and a video playing function. And, the integrated server 302 in FIG. 3 may be a personal computer, a midrange computer, a cluster of computers, and so forth.

That is to say, the user can use the terminal device 301 as in fig. 3 to implement the co-screen coexistence of the chat list and the video playing window by using the method for controlling video playing in the embodiment of the present application, and a specific method for controlling video playing will be described in detail later.

To further illustrate the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, the following detailed description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description. Although the embodiments of the present application provide the method operation steps as shown in the following embodiments or figures, more or less operation steps may be included in the method based on the conventional or non-inventive labor. In steps where no necessary causal relationship exists logically, the order of execution of the steps is not limited to that provided by the embodiments of the present application. The method can be executed in sequence or in parallel according to the method shown in the embodiment or the figure when the method is executed in an actual processing procedure or a device.

The embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling video playing, which may be executed by a device having both an instant messaging function and a video playing function, for example, the method may be executed by the terminal device 301 in fig. 3. The method for controlling video playing provided by the embodiment of the application is shown in fig. 4, and the flowchart shown in fig. 4 is described as follows.

Step 401: receiving a first trigger operation aiming at video entry indication information in a chat list interface.

The video entry indication information in the embodiment of the present application may be understood as the aforementioned shortcut entry for playing a video, and the video entry indication information is an indication identifier for indicating video playing. The video entry indication information is displayed in the chat list interface, namely, a centralized push entry for playing the video is embedded in the chat list interface, namely, the function of playing the video quickly is linked in the chat list interface, so that a user can directly and quickly play the video in the chat list interface, the video can be quickly played, and the operation of the user is facilitated.

Referring to fig. 5, after the user enters the chat list interface, in addition to the chat conversation interface identifier corresponding to the chat conversation interface, video entry indication information is displayed in the chat list interface. In fig. 5, the chat conversation interface identifier corresponding to the "leaf guess" outlined by the dashed line frame is taken as an example, and the chat conversation interface corresponding to the "leaf guess" can be entered by clicking the chat conversation interface identifier, that is, the chat conversation interface identifier is used for linking and indicating the chat conversation window with the chat object.

In a specific implementation process, a specific presentation form of the video entry indication information may be, for example, an icon as shown in fig. 5, for example, an icon in a "player" style, or may also be a character, for example, a text of "video shortcut entry" or an english word of "vedio", and the like.

The initial location of the video entry indicator displayed in the chat list interface may be, for example, an area of the chat list interface that is as unobscured as possible from the chat conversation interface logo or other content, such as the right blank area at the bottom of the chat list interface as shown in fig. 5, or may be located elsewhere. After the video entry indication information is initially displayed, the user can readjust the display position of the video entry indication information according to the use habit or viewing requirements of the user, in other words, the video entry indication information displayed in the chat list interface has a movable attribute, and the user can move and adjust the display position of the video entry indication information in a click and drag manner on the screen.

In the embodiment of the present application, the video entry indication information displayed in the chat list interface has an attribute associated with video playing in addition to the movable attribute, so that when a user performs a specified operation on the video entry indication information, the video entry indication information may be triggered to associate with video playing, for example, the specified operation is referred to as a first trigger operation, further, when the terminal device receives the first trigger operation performed on the video entry indication information by the user, it is determined that the playing of the associated video needs to be triggered by the video entry indication information, the first trigger operation on the video entry indication information in the embodiment of the present application may be that the first trigger operation is directly applied to the video entry indication information itself, for example, the "player" icon in fig. 5 is directly clicked, or the user directly speaks a voice of a "video shortcut entry" when performing control by using a voice control operation, and so on. In another embodiment, the first trigger operation may also be a special operation performed in the chat list interface (in this case, the special operation may or may not directly act on the video entry indication information), such as an operation of continuously clicking the screen twice in a specified area, or a gesture operation of drawing a special graphic (e.g., an L line or a circle) on the screen, or some physical key operation, and so on. That is to say, the operation type and the operation mode of the first trigger operation in the embodiment of the application may be various, and in the actual use process of these modes, the user may set the operation type and the operation mode by himself or herself, and certainly, the operation type and the operation mode may be preset by the system.

Step 402: and displaying the chat list interface and the video playing interface corresponding to the target video according to the triggering of the first triggering operation.

Step 403: and displaying a video selection interface according to the triggering of the first triggering operation, and displaying a chat list interface and a video playing interface corresponding to the target video according to the triggering of the selection operation of the target video aiming at the video selection interface.

The first triggering operation in the embodiment of the present application is an operation for triggering video playing through the video entry indication information, so that after monitoring the first triggering operation, the terminal device may determine a video that needs to be played, for example, the video that needs to be played is referred to as a target video.

In the embodiment of the present application, there may be two general ways for determining the target video according to the first trigger operation, where the first determination way is to manually select the target video to be played by the user according to the trigger of the first trigger operation, for example, this way is referred to as a user-defined selection way, and the second determination way is to perform video recommendation by default directly according to a preset recommendation policy by the system, for example, the second determination way is referred to as a system automatic recommendation way, and for convenience of understanding, these two ways are separately described below.

Firstly, a user self-defines a selection mode.

The user-defined selection mode may include the following two modes.

Mode 1: the method comprises the steps of determining a video selection interface according to an operation type of a first trigger operation, displaying the determined video selection interface, and determining a target video according to a selection operation aiming at the video selection interface, wherein the video selection interface can comprise an online video selection interface or a local video selection interface.

For example, when the first trigger operation is an operation of clicking the video entry indication information once, the corresponding determined video selection interface is an online video selection interface, and when the first trigger operation is an operation of clicking the video entry indication information twice consecutively, the corresponding determined video selection interface is a local video selection interface; for another example, when the first trigger operation is a click operation of clicking video entry indication information as shown in a diagram in fig. 7, the corresponding determined video selection interface is an online video selection interface, and when the first trigger operation is a slide operation of sliding across video entry indication information as shown in a left diagram in fig. 8, the corresponding determined video selection interface is a local video selection interface. That is to say, in the embodiment of the application, the display to the corresponding different video selection interfaces can be directly triggered according to the difference of the operation types of the first trigger operation, so that the user can conveniently select the target video which the user actually wants to play from the associated triggered video selection interfaces.

As understood in conjunction with fig. 6, after the online video selection interface is triggered to be displayed according to the first trigger operation, the online video selection interface may be displayed in a full screen (as shown in b diagram in fig. 6) or may be displayed on the same screen with the chat list window in a certain ratio. The online video selection interface shown in the b diagram in fig. 6 may support a user to search for a video, or may perform corresponding personalized recommendation on content that may be interested in the user according to past viewing records of the user, or may also show popular content recommended by the online video platform to the user, and so on, and the user may select a target video according to the actual viewing requirement of the user, for example, as shown in the c diagram in fig. 6, the user clicks the video "tianhaakio-seamless" in the online video selection interface, that is, the video is taken as the target video, and after the selection operation of "tianhaakio-seamless" by the user is monitored, the target video may be played.

As will be understood in conjunction with fig. 7, after the local video selection interface is triggered to be displayed according to the first trigger operation, the local video selection interface may be displayed in a full screen (as shown in the right diagram of fig. 7) or may be displayed on the same screen as the chat list window in a certain ratio. The local video selection interface, as shown in the right diagram in fig. 7, may enable a user to select a video stored locally by the terminal device as a target video, while the video stored locally by the terminal device is placed in a plurality of folders, for example, a plurality of video folders such as "camera shooting", "american picture application", "MQ download", "video application", and the like. The 'camera shooting' comprises an original video shot by a camera carried by the terminal equipment; "art beautifying application" includes video captured or processed by some image or video beautifying application; "MQ download" includes video downloaded by MQ applications as previously described, such as video sent by a chat object of MQ or video published by a buddy ring; "video applications" include video downloaded by some video applications. Further, the user can select a target video to be played from one of the folders.

In the mode 1, the corresponding video selection interface can be directly triggered by the operation type of the first triggering operation, so that a user can quickly reach the video selection interface needing to select the video through a specific one-time operation, and the selection efficiency of the target video can be improved.

Mode 2: according to the triggering association display of the first triggering operation, through the first-level selection interface comprising the online video selection option and the local video selection option, the user can select the "online video selection" or the "local video selection" according to the own viewing requirement, after the user selects one of the options, the user can enter the second-level selection interface, for example, the user clicks the "online video selection" option, the page jump can be triggered to the second-level selection interface shown in the b diagram in fig. 6, for example, the user clicks the "local video selection" option, the page jump can be triggered to the second-level selection interface shown in the right diagram in fig. 7.

Therefore, in the user-defined selection mode, the user manually selects the target video again according to the trigger of the first trigger operation, so that the selected target video can meet the actual watching requirements of the user as much as possible, the selection effectiveness is high, meanwhile, various operation modes can be provided for the user, the operation pleasure in selecting the video can be improved, and the use experience of the user is further enhanced.

And secondly, automatically recommending a mode by the system.

And determining a video selection mode according to the operation type of the first trigger operation, and automatically determining a target video according to a preset recommendation strategy according to the determined video selection mode, wherein the video selection mode comprises a system automatic recommendation mode and the first user-defined selection mode.

The type of operation for the first trigger operation has been described above and will not be described again here. For example, when the user performs a long press operation of touching the video entry indication information, it indicates that a target video needs to be automatically recommended to the user by the system, for example, the target video recommended by the system by default is a video (a local video or an online video) that the user interrupted watching last time, or may be a local video that the user just downloaded, or may be a video that the user just published, or may be a video that is playing before entering the current chat list interface, or may be a video that a chat object of the entering chat conversation interface is currently watching, and so on. By means of the automatic default recommendation mode of the system, the target video which the user wants to watch can be played quickly according to the preset recommendation strategy, the intelligence of the system is enhanced, and meanwhile the playing efficiency of the target video can be improved to a large extent, so that the watching experience of the user is enhanced.

After the target video is determined, the target video can be played, for example, a playing component of the system is called to play the target video, when the video is played, the video is generally presented in a video playing interface mode, so that a video playing interface is also corresponding to the target video.

As shown in fig. 6, after the user selects the target video "seamless" to be played in the online video selection interface as shown in the diagram c in fig. 6, the interface may automatically jump from the diagram c in fig. 6 to the diagram d in fig. 6, that is, directly go back from the online video selection interface to the chat list interface, and pop up the video playing window corresponding to the playing component (e.g., player), directly play the target video, and after playing the target video, the video entry indication information originally displayed in the chat list interface is hidden and displayed. In a specific implementation process, the video playing interface and the chat list interface can be displayed on the same screen in a certain proportion, that is, after the chat list interface originally displayed in a full screen is compressed, the video playing interface is displayed in an area outside the chat list interface, for example, as shown in a diagram d in fig. 6, in a vertical screen state of the terminal device, in order to not affect a user to perform instant messaging chat, the video playing interface can be placed above the chat list interface, and the display area of the video playing interface is smaller than that of the chat list interface, and of course, other display proportions can be adopted to display the two interfaces on the same screen; in other embodiments, for example, the video playing interface may also be directly displayed in the chat list interface, or the video playing interface may be directly overlaid on the chat conversation interface for stacked display, and so on. In addition, the display proportion of the chat list interface and the video playing interface can be dynamically adjusted in the process of watching the video by the user.

After the chat list interface and the video playing interface are displayed on the same screen, the user may perform a second trigger operation on the video playing interface, where the second trigger operation is, for example, a click operation of touching the video playing interface, or, for example, a sliding gesture operation of sliding out a "√" shape from left to right in the video playing interface as shown in the left diagram in fig. 8, and so on. Therefore, after monitoring a second trigger operation for the video playing interface, the terminal device may request a control display resource from the background server according to the trigger of the second trigger operation, and may display a video playing operation control corresponding to the control display resource after obtaining the control display resource, where the video playing operation controls are operation controls associated with the video playing interface, and the video playing interface may be correspondingly controlled through the operation controls. The control display resource includes control icons corresponding to the video playing operation controls to be displayed, and display positions corresponding to the control icons, for example, as shown in the right diagram in fig. 8, a total of 6 video playing operation controls are displayed at different positions, where 4 video playing operation controls are located in the video chat interface, and 2 video playing operation controls are located outside the video playing interface.

That is to say, after the target video is played through the video playing interface, a plurality of operation entries of the player can be quickly called through shortcut operation, and then the video being played can be correspondingly controlled or some additional operations can be performed through the operation entries. The video playing operation control in the embodiment of the present application may include, for example, a minimization control, a full screen control, a close control, a change video control, a video screenshot control, a capture small video control, a pause/play control, a share control, and the like.

Taking the minimized control as an example, please refer to fig. 9, after the user performs a third trigger operation on the exhaled minimized control, for example, after clicking the minimized control, the system may monitor the third trigger operation, and further hide the video playing interface according to the third trigger operation, and simultaneously display the minimized playing indication information, for example, display the minimized playing indication information at the originally displayed position of the video entry indication information, that is, control the video synchronous playing of the minimized video playing interface, and simultaneously resume the full-screen proportional display of the chat list interface. The minimized playing indication information is indication information indicating that the target video is in the minimized window playing, the minimized playing indication information may be in the form of a floating pendant or in other forms, as shown in the right diagram in fig. 9, meanwhile, the minimized playing indication information may include a video identifier of the target video currently being played, that is, a video identifier of the target video currently being played, or the minimized playing indication information may include both a video identifier and a playing progress of the target video currently being played, where the video identifier is, for example, a video name. Meanwhile, the minimized playing indication information may further include a control for controlling the minimized playing indication information, for example, an "x" shaped closing indication information shown in the right diagram of fig. 9 and located at the upper right of the minimized playing indication information, and after a specific operation is performed on the closing indication information, the display of the minimized playing indication information may be closed, and at the same time, the playing of the target video is exited, that is, the target video is closed.

Taking a full-screen control as an example, please refer to the left diagram in fig. 10, after a user performs a specified operation on the called full-screen control, for example, after clicking the full-screen control, the system may monitor the specified operation, and then display the video playing window in full screen according to the specified operation, that is, as shown in the right diagram in fig. 10, thereby implementing full-screen playing of the target video, and at this time, the video playing interface is displayed maximally, completely covers the chat window, and in order to facilitate full-screen viewing by the user, the video playing can be performed in a horizontal screen manner.

Taking a replacement video control as an example, for example, as the right replacement video control in the rectangle dashed frame in the right diagram of fig. 8, after the user performs a specified operation on the replacement video control, the terminal device may determine the video to be switched and played according to the specified operation, for example, the system automatically determines the video to be switched and played or the user manually selects the video to be switched and played, and then switches the video played in the video playing interface from the target video played before to the video to be switched and played again, so that real-time switching of the video can be realized in the process that the video playing interface and the chat list interface coexist on the same screen. The video switching instruction information may be referred to as video switching instruction information, and the information may explicitly instruct the user of an operation entry for video switching.

It should be noted that, in addition to the manner of calling out through the second trigger operation introduced in the embodiment of the present application, the video playing operation controls may also be displayed simultaneously when the video playing interface is displayed, and the manner of calling out through the second trigger operation may facilitate the user to display the video playing interface when the video playing interface is needed.

For example, the video playing interface shown in the left diagram of fig. 9 is referred to as a small screen playing mode, the video playing interface shown in the right diagram of fig. 9 is referred to as a mini-pendant mode, and the video playing interface shown in the right diagram of fig. 10 is referred to as a full screen playing mode. Different playing modes can meet different watching requirements of users, or are biased to watch videos, or are biased to online chatting, or both the watching videos and the online chatting need to be considered simultaneously, so that different using requirements of the users can be met.

In a possible implementation manner, when the user performs a fourth trigger operation (as shown in the upper left diagram in fig. 11) on the closing control for the video playing interface for the outgoing call described above, for example, performs a touch operation of clicking the closing control, the playing of the target video, that is, the closing of the target video, may be terminated, and the display interface of the chat list including the video entry indication information at the beginning (as shown in the right diagram in fig. 11) is returned, that is, the display of the video entry indication information is resumed.

In another possible embodiment, when the user performs the fourth triggering operation on the aforementioned fourth triggering operation for the minimized playing indication information (as shown in the lower left diagram of fig. 11), for example, the fourth triggering operation on the "x" shaped closing indication information at the upper right of the minimized playing indication information, the playing of the target video may also be terminated, that is, the target video is closed, and the terminal device may hide the display of the minimized playing indication information and return to the display interface of the first chat window including the video entry indication information (as shown in the right diagram of fig. 11), that is, resume the display of the video entry indication information in the chat list interface.

The above description explains two ways of closing video playing through fig. 11, so that in the process of watching video coexistence, the user can select a corresponding way to quit the playing of the video, which is convenient for operation.

In the embodiment of the application, after the user associates the video playing based on the video entry indication information in the chat list interface, the user can send a video watching invitation to the friend. For example, when the user needs to send out a video viewing invitation, the user may perform a fifth triggering operation, and after monitoring the fifth triggering operation, the device may generate video viewing invitation information according to the triggering of the fifth triggering operation, the video viewing invitation information is determined based on the playing address of the video being played (such as the aforementioned target video), for example, the video viewing invitation information includes the playing address, and then the video viewing invitation information is sent to the chat object needing to be invited, through the quick sending of the viewing invitation, a video viewing invitation can be sent to the opposite-end chat object, for example to a chat conversation interface corresponding to a specific chat conversation interface identification in the chat list interface, for example, the chat conversation interface corresponding to the specific chat conversation interface identifier is called as a first predetermined chat conversation interface, so that online sharing of the video is realized. The video viewing invitation information may be presented in a form of "text + URL address", or may be only "URL address", or may also be in a form of two-dimensional code, and the like.

In a possible implementation manner, the display interfaces of the chat list interface and the video playing interface display invitation viewing identification information, the invitation viewing identification information is, for example, a sharing control called out in the video playing interface, or a text prompt of "inviting friends to see together" as shown in fig. 12, or the invitation viewing identification information may also be other display presentations. Taking "invite friends look together" in fig. 12 as an example, a user may perform an object selection operation with respect to "invite friends look together", after monitoring the object selection operation with respect to "invite friends look together", the device may determine a first predetermined chat session interface according to the object selection operation, for example, as shown in the bottom right diagram in fig. 12, when the user clicks "invite friends look together", the device is triggered to jump to a display interface of a directory, the display interface of the directory is understood to be an invite object selection interface, and the user may select a user in the directory to be invited to view, for example, the user selects a nick star called "wang inframe" to perform a video viewing invitation, after selecting "wang inframe", based on the object selection operation performed by the user to select "wang inframe", the user may trigger to jump to a private chat session window with "wang inframe", namely, a chat conversation interface with the wang downy is presented, and video viewing invitation information of 'inviting you to view' seamless Tian 'collection 8 and clicking' view 'is sent to the wang downy' so as to realize the rapid sharing and sending of the video viewing invitation information and improve the invitation efficiency. As in the previous example, the chat session interface corresponding to "wang performance" may be understood as the first predetermined chat session interface, and in another embodiment, the user may select a plurality of first predetermined chat session interfaces including the private chat window and the group chat window at a time. In other embodiments, in addition to the manner of selecting a friend from an address list as shown in fig. 12, the user may directly select one or more chat conversation interface identifiers from a plurality of chat conversation interface identifiers included in the chat list interface, and then the chat conversation interface corresponding to the chat conversation interface identifier selected by the user may be used as the first predetermined chat conversation interface.

In another possible implementation, the user can perform a gesture operation from the start of the video playing interface to the termination of the chat list interface, as shown in fig. 13, the gesture operation track of the user starts from the video playing interface and passes through three chat conversation interface identifications of "guess of leaf", "baby health communication group" and "flower world" in the chat list interface, for example, the chat conversation interface corresponding to the chat conversation interface identification (i.e. the flower world) at the end position of the gesture operation can be determined to be the aforementioned first predetermined chat conversation interface, as shown in the right diagram of fig. 13, after determining "flower world" as the first predetermined chat conversation interface, the user can directly input the video watching invitation information of 'inviting you to watch < 8 th collection of Tian' seamless ', please click on < x > to watch' into the chat conversation interface. Alternatively, optionally, the chat conversation interfaces corresponding to all chat conversation interface identifications passed by the operation trajectory of the gesture operation may be determined as the first predetermined chat conversation interface, and the left diagram in fig. 13 is continued, and if the method is adopted, the chat conversation interfaces corresponding to the three chat conversation interface identifications of "guess by leaf", "baby health communication group", and "flower world" may be determined as the first predetermined chat conversation interface, and then the video viewing invitation information is sent. Through the gesture operation of sliding across the video playing interface and the chat list interface, the meaning of inviting to the opposite-end user is intuitively simulated in action, so that the video watching invitation information can be generated and sent, the user experience is strong, the interestingness of the operation is high, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In the embodiment of the application, for the chat objects associated with the chat conversation interface identifiers in the chat list interface, all the chat objects or a part of the videos which are currently watched by the specified chat objects can be obtained, such as the names and the playing schedules of the watched videos, and then the video playing indication information corresponding to the chat objects can be generated according to the information, and the obtained video playing indication information is displayed, so that the user can intuitively and real-timely check the video situation currently watched by the opposite-end user, more common chat topics can be generated among the users, and the interactive experience is improved. Specifically, for example, at least one piece of video playing indication information corresponding to a video currently being viewed by a chat object in a second predetermined chat conversation interface may be obtained, and the second predetermined chat conversation interface may correspond to a group chat window or may also correspond to a private chat window, where the second predetermined chat conversation interface is, for example, a chat conversation interface corresponding to a pre-specified chat conversation interface identifier in a chat list interface, or may also be a chat conversation window corresponding to all chat conversation interface identifiers in the chat list interface, and then the obtained at least one piece of video playing indication information is displayed in real time.

As shown in the left diagram of fig. 14, in the chat list interface including the video entry indication information, the video related information being viewed by the chat object in the chat conversation interface associated with each chat conversation interface identifier is shown below each chat conversation interface identifier, and it can be seen that some users in ABAB 3 rd collection and flower world are viewing taihao laugh cheer and food temptation. As shown in the right diagram of fig. 14, when the video playing interface and the chat list interface are displayed on the same screen, video playing indication information is correspondingly displayed above each chat conversation interface identifier in the chat list interface, and through the way of the related display, the promptness is enhanced, and the user can easily view the video playing indication information. For example, when the video playing interface shown in the right diagram of fig. 9 is in the mini-pendant mode, the video playing indication information may also be displayed.

In the specific implementation process, the user can customize the visible attribute of the video playing indication information to the friend, for example, the user can set that the video playing indication information that the user is watching the video is only presented to a part of friends (such as good friends or relatives of the user), and the video playing indication information is not presented to unfamiliar friends or strangers, so that privacy protection can be facilitated to a certain extent.

When at least one piece of video playing indication information is displayed, a user can utilize the video playing indication information to realize fast switching of own video, for example, the user can perform a sixth triggering operation on target video playing indication information in the at least one piece of video playing indication information, for example, perform the sixth triggering operation of long-time pressing the target video playing indication information, the terminal device can monitor the sixth triggering operation, and then according to triggering of the sixth triggering operation, the video played on a video playing interface is switched to the video indicated by the target video playing indication information, so that one-key synchronous playing of the video being watched by a friend is realized. For example, as shown in fig. 15, after the user clicks the target video playing instruction information "food temptation", the video played on the video playing interface is switched from "seamless" being played to "food temptation", and by this way, the video can be switched quickly and conveniently, and the video being watched by the current chat object can be switched, so that online communication with the chat object is facilitated.

In a possible implementation manner, if the target video playing indication information includes a video identifier of the indicated video, for example, only the video identifier or both the video identifier and the actual playing progress, the target playing progress may be determined according to a preset playing policy, and the video indicated by the target video playing indication information is played on the video playing interface according to the determined target playing progress. The predetermined play policy is, for example, play from the start time of a video, or play from a place where a user last viewed the video is interrupted, or play may be started from other predetermined times, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited.

In another possible implementation manner, if the target video playing indication information includes the video identifier and the actual playing progress of the indicated video, the video indicated by the target video playing indication information may be played on the video playing interface according to the actual playing progress, for example, the video is directly played at a moment corresponding to the actual playing progress, so that absolute synchronization of video playing with the opposite-end chat user is achieved, and the two users can conveniently discuss and communicate in time according to the same watching progress.

In the actual use process, if it is necessary to chat with a certain friend, taking the chat list interface shown in the left diagram in fig. 16 as an example, if the user wishes to chat with "leaf guess", a seventh trigger operation may be performed on the chat conversation interface identifier corresponding to the "leaf guess" in the chat list interface, for example, a click operation of clicking the avatar of the "leaf guess" is performed, after the device detects the seventh trigger operation, the chat conversation interface corresponding to the "leaf guess" may be entered from the chat list interface (as shown in the right diagram in fig. 16) according to the trigger of the seventh trigger operation, for example, the chat conversation interface identifier corresponding to the seventh trigger operation is referred to as the target chat conversation interface identifier, and the chat conversation interface corresponding to the target chat conversation interface identifier may be referred to as the target chat conversation interface, after entering the target chat conversation interface from the chat list interface, the user can continue playing the video because the user generally performs online chat on the target chat conversation interface, so that the video playing interface and the target chat conversation interface can be displayed on the same screen, that is, the video can be seamlessly switched between the chat list interface and the chat conversation interface, so that the user can view the video while chatting, and the user experience is better.

In the process of switching from the chat list interface to the target chat conversation interface, two modes can be provided.

First, when exiting from the chat list interface (i.e. when hiding the display of the chat list interface), the video playing interface can be hidden and the video playing can be paused, and at the same time, the playing progress information when the video playing is paused is recorded, when switching from the chat list interface to the target chat conversation interface, the video playing interface can be displayed on the same screen as the target chat conversation interface, and the video playing progress information when the video is paused before the interface switching can be continued to play the video, that is, when switching the interface, the video playing interface is also hidden and then displayed, but when playing is paused, the user can continuously watch the video content without missing the video content when playing is continued in the target chat conversation interface.

Secondly, when the chat list interface is quitted (i.e. the display of the hidden chat list interface), the video playing interface is not hidden but continuously displayed, which is equivalent to the switching between the chat list interface and the target chat conversation interface, when the user watches, the video playing interface displayed on the upper half part of the screen does not change, and the lower half part of the screen realizes the interface conversion from the chat list interface to the target chat conversation interface, so that even when the interface is switched, the video playing interface is continuously displayed, thereby reducing the interference of the user on watching the video as much as possible and realizing the immersive continuous watching.

In many terminal application functions, instant messaging application is an application function which is widely applied at present, video playing is also an application function with strong entertainment, most users have more time and situations for using the instant messaging function, and generally enter a chat list interface in chatting, so that the embodiment of the application integrates video entry indication information in the chat list interface, namely, an entry for fast playing the video is embedded in a chat scene which is widely applied, so that the user can quickly call out the video playing function in the chatting process, and a more friendly and humanized man-machine interaction mode can be realized through the co-screen coexistence of the chat list and a video playing window.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, in order to realize the co-screen coexistence of the chat list and the video playing window, the quick entry of the chat list interface can be embedded into the video playing interface, so that a user can call the chat list interface directly through the quick operation of the quick entry of the embedded chat list interface in the process of watching a video, and the called chat list and the video playing window can be displayed on the same screen, thereby realizing the purpose of one screen with multiple purposes.

The embodiment of the application can meet the requirement that a user can have better experience to play and watch videos while carrying out online instant chat with other people, namely, a product interaction mode that a main path (namely a chat list) selected by a plurality of chat conversation windows and videos are played simultaneously is provided, and the requirement of the user for watching chat is met.

In the embodiment of the application, the video entry indication information on the chat list interface can be displayed in a pendant form, and a user can conveniently select a desired video on a main path (namely a chat list) which does not influence the selection of a chat conversation window. And when the video is selected, for example, when the video is selected online, multi-dimensional selection such as searching, personalized recommendation, hot recommendation and the like can be supported. After the user opens the video, the user can conveniently select the chat list in the process of watching the video. In addition, when the user's focus of attention needs to be placed on the chat list, the video window can be minimized very conveniently, i.e. the video playing window is made to present a mini-pendant mode, so that the interface of the chat list is more sufficient, and the normal playing of the video is not affected. Moreover, when the video does not need to be watched, the playing can be quickly closed, the chat list is completely focused, and the use is flexible.

Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application provides a device for controlling video playing, where the device for controlling video playing may be a hardware structure, a software module, or a hardware structure plus a software module.
