Panoramic video playing method and client

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a panoramic video playing method and a client. The panoramic video playing method comprises the steps that the client obtains user angle-of-view information and recommended angle-of-view information of a panoramic video; the client determines that the angle-of-view range corresponding to the recommended angle-of-view is not within the angle-of-view range corresponding to the user angle-of-view according to the user angle-of-view information and the recommended angle-of-view information; and the client display an image corresponding to the user angle-of-view and an image corresponding to the recommended angle-of-view. According to the panoramic video playing method provided by the invention, the image of the recommended angle-of-view can be promptedand displayed under the condition of not affecting the display of the user angle-of-view of the user in the process of playing the panoramic video, thereby enabling the user to independently make a decision on angle-of-view switching, thus not only ensuring the freedom of independent angle-of-view switching of the user and continuous playing of the image corresponding to the user angle-of-view, but also enabling the user not to miss the important content and improving the user experience.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of video processing, in particular to a panoramic video playback method and client. Background technique [0002] Panoramic video, also known as 360-degree video, refers to the use of multiple cameras to shoot the environment, and through synchronization, splicing, projection and other technologies, images from multiple angles are synthesized into panoramic video images, and multiple frames of panoramic video images are composed Panoramic video. When watching a panoramic video, the user can change the viewing angle arbitrarily up, down, left, and right, so as to obtain a better viewing experience. [0003] Panoramic video contains information in multiple directions such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc., and is limited by the field of view range of the human eye (about 120 degrees) and the field of view range of display devices (such as the viewing angle of head-mounted devices currently on the mark...

Problems solved by technology

First of all, the client automatically switches the user's user perspective according to the recommended perspective sent by the server, which will cause a sudden switch of the screen and affect the user experience; and the content of the recommended perspective may not be the content that the user is interested in, and the automatic switching will interrupt the user's previous experience. viewing experience, causing users to resent

For example, when a user is watching a football game, his attention is attracted by some tidbits in the auditorium, and he turns his head to the auditorium. Users cannot watch the content they want to watch, which deprives users of the possibility to freely choose the user's viewing angle, thereby reducing the user experience

Furthermore, this solution will lead to confusion in the user's sense of space when viewing the panorama

For example, when wearing a helmet to watch a panoramic video, normally when the user's head is tilted to the left, the content on the left side should be displayed, so that the user can feel like being in it; but at this time, the screen suddenly switches to the recommended viewing angle containing key events on the right side, and the It will cause the user to turn his head to the left and see the content on the right, which is contrary to the user's sense of space
