Method and system for choosing and playing on-line video fragment

Abstract

An online video fragment broadcasting method includes: setting the fragment time point of video files; acquiring buffering data taking each fragment time point as initiation points; displaying the acquired buffering data, for selection of users; playing the video content starting from the corresponding fragment time point of the buffering data according to the selected buffering data of users. The embodiment of the present invention directly provides a certain number of video fragments (including pictures or part of video contents) to users by automatically setting the fragment time point, so that the users can select the required starting time point of the video fragment by an intuitive mode (such as viewing the actual content of the video screen). Compared with the conventional mode, the present invention can avoid the waste of network transmission resource caused by invalidation dragging of the progress bar.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of Internet video information processing, in particular to a method and system for selecting and broadcasting online video clips on the Internet. Background technique [0002] With the development of the Internet, users have more and more demands for online video viewing on the Internet, and various video-on-demand services emerge in an endless stream. Through such services, users can order any video they want to watch at any time. Video content does not need to be passively selected to watch according to the TV station's program list like traditional TV. [0003] When a user watches a video online, in many cases, it may not be necessary to watch the entire video content, but only some fragments thereof. For example, a user knows that a certain segment of a movie (or a certain TV show) is very exciting, and only wants to watch this part of the content. In order to meet the above needs of users, the traditi...

[0004] But usually the user doesn't know where the video segment he wants to watch should be in the whole video, so he can't accurately drag the progress bar to the corresponding position for playback, and can only drag the progress bar aimlessly , while watching the video content to determine whether the current time point is the content you need to watch, so the user may need to drag the progress bar several times to find the content position you need

[0005] There are obvious technical defects in the above method: firstly, the user needs to spend a long time and adjust the progress bar several times to find the desired video segment, which is inefficient; secondly, under the existing network transmission speed, due to Online video is downloaded and browsed in real time, so every time the user drags the progress bar, the previous buffered data will be invalid, and the video data corresponding to the current progress bar needs to be downloaded again. Therefore, there will be a certain buffer time every time the progress bar is adjusted segment, delaying the user's browsing time and reducing the user experience; moreover, when the user adjusts the progress bar to obtain the desired video segment, since the required precise time point cannot be found at one time, generally there will be invalid video data downloads, Thereby increasing the occupation and waste of network transmission resources
