Embodiment 1

[0037] figure 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for preloading a video according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] In step S100, the scroll event of the video list can be monitored.

[0039] Computer software or mobile phone applications that provide video playback functions can display videos that users can click to play through the video list. Users can choose the video they are interested in from the video list to play. For example, video names may be displayed in a list form in the video list, or a certain frame or poster of a video may be displayed in an icon form.

[0040] When the user intends to select a video to play, he can operate the scrolling control of the video list to browse, for example, slide the scrolling control of the video list, thereby triggering a scrolling event. Scroll events include scroll control scroll, scroll control scroll stop. The scrolling of the scrolling control may represent the scrolling state of the scrolling co...

Embodiment 2

[0051] figure 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method for preloading a video according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0052] In step S1000, similar to the first embodiment, the scrolling event of the video list may be monitored. Since this step has been described in detail in Embodiment 1, it will not be repeated here.

[0053]In step S2000, when the scroll stop is detected, the video displayed in the video list window when the scroll stops can be added to the preloading task queue, and the preloading task queue can be managed.

[0054] In step S3000, videos in the preloading task queue may be preloaded.

[0055] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0056] In some cases, the scrolling event of scrolling stop may be triggered multiple times, causing too many videos to be added to the preloading task queue for preloading, which may also cause excessive network traffic consumption. For ex...

Abstract

The invention discloses a video preloading method and device, a video player, and an electronic device. The method comprises the following steps: monitoring scroll events of a video list; when scroll stop is monitored, adding a video displayed in a video list window when scroll stops to a preloading task queue; and preloading the video in the preloading task queue. According to the invention, while faster video play experience is obtained, network flow consumption used for preloading the video can be remarkably reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of video playback, and more specifically, to a method, device, video player, and electronic device for preloading video. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, in order to obtain a faster video playback experience during video playback, a function of preloading videos is provided, that is, a short section of content from the beginning of each video in the video list is pre-downloaded. In this way, when the user clicks on the video to play the video, the video will start playing directly without waiting for the network to load. [0003] However, users generally do not watch every video in the video list. Users will selectively watch videos according to their own interests or hobbies. When the user does not use free WiFi but connects to the network through mobile data, if each video in the video list is still preloaded, this will greatly increase network traffic consumption. [0004] Therefore, a new...
