[0053] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Embodiment 1

[0055] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a video playback method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and this embodiment is applicable to the case of playing a video. The method can be implemented by a video playback device, which is configured in a client such as a computer device, and can be implemented by software and / or hardware in the device.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the video playback method specifically includes the following contents:

[0057] S110: monitor the remaining play time of the currently played video, and when the remaining play time is less than a preset duration, display a video play mode selection control on the current video play interface.

[0058] The video playback interface may be an interface for displaying video content in a video playback application, and the video being played may be a short video, a long video, or a short video with a storyline whose length is between a short video and a long video. It is understandable that the shorter the video, the higher the frequency of video switching, especially when playing short videos.

[0059] For example, the video playback interface can refer to Figure 2 The client video playback interface of a video playback application is shown, wherein 101 is the video playback area, which can be the entire display screen or a part of the display screen, 102 is the title and / or keywords and other related information content of the currently playing video, 103 is the function controls related to the video, such as like, share, comment and exit page function controls, and A, B, C and D correspond to different function controls respectively.

[0060] Furthermore, the preset duration can be 5 seconds, or a duration set according to user needs. Within this duration, the user can react and proceed to the next step. In this embodiment, the user can trigger the control on the video playback interface within the preset duration. Specifically, when the remaining playback time of the currently playing video is less than the preset time, it means that the currently playing video is about to be finished, and the video playback interface is about to enter the next playing video. At this time, the user may want to enter the video interface they want to watch, rather than the playback interface of the next video randomly recommended by the video playback platform. For example, if the user wants to watch the currently playing video repeatedly or watch a video associated with the content of the currently playing video, then it is necessary to provide the user with an interface for making a selection so that the user can make a selection based on their own video viewing needs.

[0061] In this embodiment, the video playback mode selection control includes a first mode control, a second mode control and a third mode control. For example, reference may be made to Figure 2 Among them, the first mode control corresponds to the sequential play mode, the second mode control corresponds to the random play mode, and the third mode control corresponds to the repeat current video play mode.

[0062] It should be noted here that in a client video playback interface, the position layout of the interface function controls and the selection of specific functions can be adjusted according to the needs of the video playback interface. In this implementation, only illustrative explanations are given without specific limitations.

[0063] S120: Determine a video playback mode in response to a triggering operation of the video playback mode selection control by the user.

[0064] When the user triggers the corresponding video play mode control in an agreed manner, the current video play mode will be switched to the corresponding video play mode, and the video will be played according to the play method of the corresponding play mode.

[0065] The agreed control triggering method includes at least one of a single click, a continuous click, a long press, a preset direction slide, or a gesture sensing method. It is understandable that if the user does not trigger the video playback mode control, the video playback mode remains unchanged and the video continues to play according to the current video playback mode.

[0066] S130. Play the video according to the determined video play mode, wherein the video play mode includes a sequential play mode, a random play mode, and a repeat current video play mode.

[0067] Specifically, when the video playback mode is the sequential switching playback mode, the video clips associated with the currently playing video in the video clips published by the publisher of the currently playing video are played sequentially. For example, the currently playing video is the second video clip taken from an episode of a TV series, and the video clip associated with the currently playing video refers to the third video clip of the TV series that continues the content of the currently playing video or a video clip related to other videos. When the video playback mode is the repeat current video playback mode, the currently playing video is played repeatedly until the user changes the video playback mode or exits the video playback interface. When the video playback mode is the random video playback mode, the video clips published by the publisher of the currently playing video are played randomly. In this way, by randomly playing videos published by the same video publisher, you can watch video clips related to the content of the currently playing video or similar in style.

[0068] The technical solution of this embodiment monitors the remaining playback time of the video played by the user, sets a video playback mode selection control on the video playback interface according to the remaining playback time, switches the video playback mode in response to the user's triggering selection operation of the video playback mode selection control, and plays the video according to the playback mode selected by the user. The video playback mode is flexibly switched between the sequential playback mode, the random playback mode and the repeat current video playback mode, which meets the user's needs for video interaction in different scenarios. It can automatically switch to the target viewing video and repeatedly play a certain video, thereby improving the user experience.

[0069] Embodiment 2

[0070] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a video playback method provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further illustrates a method for video playback in a sequential playback mode. Explanations of terms that are the same or corresponding to those in the above embodiments are not repeated here.

[0071] See also Figure 3 The video playback method provided in this embodiment specifically includes the following contents:

[0072] S210: monitor the remaining play time of the currently played video, and when the remaining play time is less than a preset duration, display a video play mode selection control on the current video play interface.

[0073] S220: In response to a user triggering operation on a sequential play mode control, determining that the video play mode is a sequential play mode.

[0074] Specifically, when the user selects Figure 2 When you click on the middle control ①, the corresponding sequential playback mode is selected, and the current video playback mode is switched to the sequential playback mode.

[0075] S230: sequentially play video segments associated with the currently playing video among the video segments published by the publisher of the currently playing video.

[0076] In the sequential playback mode, video clips that are continuous with the currently played video can be played in sequence. For example, the video publisher releases a series of videos under a theme, and the video clips are named XX Theme Upper, XX Theme Middle, and XX Theme Lower according to the content or time sequence. Or, the video publisher releases a video that is a decomposed clip of the story content of a TV series or movie, etc. This ensures that users can watch the video content they are interested in completely.

[0077] S240: When the video clips published by the publisher do not contain video clips associated with the currently playing video or video clips associated with the currently playing video that have not been played, sort the videos according to the number of times they are played, and play the video clips related to the currently playing video content in the video playback platform in sequence.

[0078] Specifically, if the video posted by the publisher of the currently playing video does not contain a video clip associated with the currently playing video, or if there is an associated clip but it has been played, the scope of the video resource search is expanded to search for videos associated with the currently playing video content within the video resource scope of the entire video playback platform for playback. The order of video playback can be played according to the number of video playbacks. The more video clips are played, the higher the attention of the video content is, and the greater the probability that users are interested in it.

[0079] Alternatively, in one implementation, the videos may be played in the order of their upload time, with priority given to playing video clips with a short time interval between the video upload time and the current time.

[0080] S250: When the user replays the previous video segment of the currently playing video, a control for repeating the current video playback mode is displayed on the video playback interface to allow the user to select whether to repeat the current video.

[0081] That is, during video playback, when the user actively switches the previous video of the currently playing video to the current video, it indicates that the user wants to watch the previously played video again. In this case, an interface for selecting the video playback mode can be provided for the user on the video playback interface, so that the user can directly set the video playback mode to repeat playback. Figure 4 The content shown only displays the repeat play mode controls on the current video playback interface.

[0082] It should be noted here that there is no strict order restriction between S250 and the above method steps. As long as the user actively switches to the last played video during video playback, the process can jump to step S250 and pop up a repeat playback mode control to facilitate the user to switch the video playback mode.

[0083] The technical solution of this embodiment monitors the remaining playback time of the video played by the user, and sets a video playback mode selection control on the video playback interface according to the remaining playback time, switches the video playback mode in response to the user's triggering selection operation of the sequential playback mode control, and sequentially plays the video clips associated with the currently playing video among the video clips published by the publisher of the currently playing video, thereby realizing the switching of the video playback mode sequential playback mode. When the user replays the previous video clip of the currently playing video, the repeat current video playback mode control can be displayed on the video playback interface to allow the user to select whether to repeat the current video, thereby meeting the user's needs for video interaction in different scenarios and improving the user experience.

[0084] Embodiment 3

[0085] Figure 5 This is a flow chart of a video playback method provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further illustrates the steps of the video playback method when repeating the current video playback mode.

[0086] like Figure 5 As shown, the video playback method in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0087] S310: monitor the remaining play time of the currently played video, and when the remaining play time is less than a preset duration, display a video play mode selection control on the current video play interface.

[0088] S320: In response to a user triggering operation on a control for repeating the current video playback mode, determining that the video playback mode is a repeating current video playback mode.

[0089] Specifically, when the user selects Figure 2 When the middle control ③ is clicked, the corresponding repeat current video playback mode is selected, and the current video playback mode is switched to repeat current video playback mode.

[0090] S330: When the number of times the currently playing video is repeatedly played reaches a preset number, a control for exiting the current playing mode is displayed on the video playing interface.

[0091] During the process of repeatedly playing the current video, the number of repeated playbacks is counted. If the number of repeated playbacks reaches a preset number, an exit control for the current playback mode is displayed on the video playback interface, i.e., the current video playback mode is stopped. For example, Figure 6 The controls shown in ④.

[0092] S340: In response to the user's triggering operation on the control for exiting the current play mode, recommending video content related to the theme content of the currently playing video to the user and playing the video content.

[0093] When the user triggers the control to exit the current play mode, the current video will not be played repeatedly, and video content related to the theme of the currently playing video will be recommended to the user and played.

[0094] Alternatively, in one implementation, after exiting the repeating current video play mode, the video may be played in accordance with the previous video play mode, or played sequentially, or played randomly, or played in accordance with the default play mode of the video play platform.

[0095] If the user does not trigger the control to exit the current playback mode within the set time, the control will be hidden and no longer displayed, while the current video will continue to be played repeatedly.

[0096] It is understandable that when the same user sets different video play modes in the same video application on different terminals, the video application on the different terminals can play the video in different video play modes.

[0097] Further, in the process of video playback, a preset number of videos to be played are pre-cached in a data pool. The data pool is a memory space used by the client to cache video data obtained from the server, providing a video data source for the video player, and at least one video data is provided in the data pool for playback. The client can automatically or passively request 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 playback mode. For example, when the video playback mode is a sequential switching playback mode, the video clips associated with the currently playing video in the video clips published by the publisher of the currently playing video are requested, and the video clips are stored in the data pool in the order of the video. When the video playback mode is a random video playback mode, the video clips published by the publisher of the currently playing video are requested, and the requested video clips are randomly placed in the data pool. When the video playback mode is the default playback mode in the video playback platform, the video is requested according to the default playback rules, such as caching the video in the data pool according to the popularity of the video.

[0098] For example, Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the data pool can store 10 video information streams as the data source for video playback. Figure 7 (a) stores video information stream 1 to video information stream 10, a total of 10 video data. The area below the dotted line in the figure can be called the red line area, and the area above the dotted line is called the data safety area. When the video automatically switches to play the video information stream in the red line area, such as video information stream 7, the client will request new video data from the server according to the rules for obtaining videos in the current playback mode, and at the same time remove the already played video information stream 1 to video information stream 6 from the data pool and temporarily store them in another storage space for standby use. Then, after the data pool obtains the new video data, it will be Figure 7 (b) The video data stream 7 to the video data stream 12 are moved to the positions of the video information stream 1 to the video information stream 6, and the remaining positions are also filled with the requested new video data.

[0099] In one embodiment, the video data removed from the data pool is stored in another storage space and can be deleted after a preset time according to the rules. Alternatively, when the client cannot request new video data, the removed video data can be retrieved and played again, such as putting the removed video information stream 1 to video information stream 6 back into the data pool, so that the client can play these videos again.

[0100] The technical solution of this embodiment monitors the remaining playback time of the video played by the user, and sets a video playback mode selection control on the video playback interface according to the remaining playback time, responds to the user's trigger selection operation of the repeat current video playback mode selection control to enter the repeat current video playback mode, and pops up a control for exiting the current playback mode after the number of repeated playbacks reaches a certain number for the user to choose, thereby realizing flexible switching of the video playback mode between the repeat current video playback mode and other playback modes, meeting the user's needs for video interaction in different scenarios, and can automatically switch to the target viewing video and repeatedly play a certain video, thereby improving the user experience.

[0101] The following is an embodiment of a video playback device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The device and the video playback method of the above embodiments belong to the same inventive concept, and the video playback method of the above embodiments can be executed by the video playback device of this embodiment. For details not described in detail in the embodiment of the video playback device, reference can be made to the embodiment of the above video playback method.
