[0002] When users download or play videos on video websites, they usually choose to download or play a video version with a lower resolution in order to save traffic or shorten the download speed. However, setting a lower download resolution will result in a lower video definition, which will weaken the user's video viewing experience. In addition, if the user subsequently needs to use the downloaded video as material for secondary editing, too low definition will also be detrimental to the user's processing of the video. If a higher download resolution is set, traffic will be wasted and the download speed will increase. Summary of the invention

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are usually a class, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first certain thing can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0025] The video downloading method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an optional embodiment of the video downloading method provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0027] Step 101: Receive a first input of a first video.

[0028] It is understandable that the first input may be an input received through a user input unit, for example, may include a touch screen, a mouse, a keyboard, a camera (gesture input), etc. The first input is used to indicate downloading the first video in a target manner. The first input may include at least one step of input operation, for example, clicking a control displayed on the touch screen for indicating downloading the video in a target manner, and further may include clicking a confirmation button, etc.

[0029] Step 102, in response to a first input, downloading a first video in a target manner.

[0030] Among them, in the downloaded first video, the first video segment of the first video is at the first resolution, and the second video segment of the first video is at the second resolution; and the first resolution is different from the second resolution.

[0031] That is, when the first video is downloaded in a targeted manner, different resolutions may be used for downloading different video segments in the first video.

[0032] For example, when downloading a first video, the first video may be divided into a plurality of video segments, and then each video segment is downloaded separately, wherein each video segment is downloaded at a corresponding resolution, and finally the plurality of video segments are spliced ​​in chronological order, or the entire first video may be downloaded in chronological order (i.e., the earlier part of the entire video is downloaded first), and when the time point at which the next video segment starts is reached, the resolution is switched from the resolution corresponding to the current video segment to the resolution corresponding to the next video segment, and then the video is downloaded. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0033] Therefore, after the entire video is downloaded, there may be multiple resolutions in the entire video, and different video clips may have different resolutions. Of course, the resolutions in two video clips that are not adjacent in time may be the same. For example, the resolutions of the first video clip and the second video clip that are adjacent in time sequence are different, while the resolutions of the first video clip and the third video clip that are not adjacent may be the same. It is understandable that the first video includes a plurality of video clips, and these video clips can form a complete first video by arranging and playing them in a certain time sequence.

[0034] It is understandable that when downloading the first video in a target manner, the resolution corresponding to each video segment can be determined according to the segment parameters of each video segment. The segment parameters refer to the parameters of the video segment. For example, the segment parameters can be the length, size, playback volume, recommendation level, etc. of the video segment.

[0035] Specifically, the playback volume situation can be the number of times a video segment is played, or it can be the ratio of the number of times the video segment is played to the number of times the entire video is played, etc. In short, the playback volume situation is a parameter related to the playback volume.

[0036] The degree of recommendation can be obtained by statistics based on the operations of multiple users on the first video. For example, when watching the first video, the user can mark the video, like the video, etc. In this case, the time points corresponding to the marking, liking and other recommendation operations performed by multiple users are recorded, and the number of marking and liking (recommendation operations) corresponding to the time points where the users performed the recommendation operations are recorded, so as to obtain the recommendation status corresponding to different clips (different time points) in the entire first video.

[0037] In one example, each video segment in the first video may be automatically divided based on segment parameters by a preset algorithm. For example, multiple playback volume intervals may be pre-divided, and after determining the playback volume at each moment in the first video, segments whose playback volume is continuously within the same playback volume interval and whose continuous time exceeds a preset duration are divided into one video segment.

[0038] In another example, the video segments in the first video may be manually divided by the user after the segment parameters at different times are displayed on the video progress bar. For example, the user may click once at a position on the video progress bar to indicate marking a time division point at the corresponding time, and the time division point is used to divide the two video segments.

[0039] In combination with the above example, another example can be provided to recommend automatically divided video segments to the user, which can be confirmed or modified by the user, including adjusting the number of video segments, the start and end time of each video segment, etc.

[0040] After the first video is divided into M video segments, the resolution corresponding to each video segment may be manually set by a user or automatically set according to a preset algorithm.

[0041] For instance, taking the user setting the resolution as an example, before receiving the first input of the first video, the segment parameters of each video segment in the first video may be displayed, and then after receiving the user's second input of the first video segment among M video segments, the resolution of the first video segment may be set to the first resolution in response to the second input.

[0042] It can be understood that the segment parameters of each video segment in the first video can be displayed on the progress bar of the first video, and the user can directly observe and know the segment parameters of different video segments of the first video, so as to quickly determine the more important parts of the first video.

[0043] By providing an implementation method for users to independently set the resolution of each video clip, users can set the resolution according to their preferences. For example, users can set a higher resolution for video clips that they are interested in or need, and set lower resolutions for the rest, thereby improving the flexibility of resolution setting when downloading videos.

[0044] Furthermore, the step of receiving a second input from a user for a first video segment among the M video segments, and setting the resolution of the first video segment to the first resolution in response to the second input, may specifically include the following steps:

[0045] receiving a first sub-input from a user, where the first sub-input is used to select a first video segment;

[0046] In response to the first sub-input, N controls are displayed, where the N controls are used to indicate different resolutions;

[0047] Receive a second sub-input of a first control among the N controls by a user;

[0048] In response to the second sub-input, the resolution of the first video segment is set to a first resolution, and the first control is used to indicate the first resolution.

[0049] Among them, the second input includes a first sub-input and a second sub-input, that is, a second input used to indicate that the resolution of the first video clip is set to the first resolution, specifically including a first sub-input used to indicate the selection of the first video clip and a second sub-input for selecting the first control indicating the first resolution.

[0050] For example, the user can click on the time range of a certain video clip in the time progress bar of the first video (first sub-input), thereby indicating the selection of the video clip. Then, the user can click on the control provided on the page for representing different resolutions to select the resolution he or she wants (second sub-input), and then the resolution can be set to the resolution of the corresponding video clip.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, the resolution corresponding to each video segment in the first video is selected through the first sub-input and the second sub-input, so that each segment in the first video can be downloaded with different resolutions.

[0052] Optionally, the resolutions of the above-mentioned N controls may be optional resolutions determined according to the current network speed and / or segment parameters of the corresponding video segment.

[0053] In this optional implementation, several optional resolutions are determined according to the current network speed and / or the segment parameters of the corresponding video segment. After the first video segment is selected through the first sub-input, the N displayed controls can be determined according to the segment parameters of the first video segment or the current network speed. For example, for a video segment with a playback volume between 200,000 and 300,000, optional resolution controls of 720P and above are provided, for a video segment with a playback volume between 100,000 and 200,000, optional resolution controls of 720P and below are provided, and for a video segment with a playback volume less than 100,000, only a 480P resolution control is provided.

[0054] It can be understood that if the first video clip has a higher playback volume, that is, the first video clip is considered to be a more exciting clip in the first video, then the resolution indicated by the N displayed controls may be a higher resolution option; if the first video clip has a lower playback volume, that is, the first video clip is considered to be a more boring clip in the first video, then the resolution indicated by the N displayed controls may be a lower resolution option.

[0055] In addition, when the current network speed indicates that the network speed is poor, after the first video clip is selected through the first sub-input, the N controls displayed may be controls with lower resolutions, such as 360P and 480P controls, and when the current network speed indicates that the network speed is good, after the first video clip is selected through the first sub-input, the N controls displayed may be controls with higher resolutions, such as controls corresponding to 1080P and 4K.

[0056] Specifically, when providing different optional resolutions for different video clips, the user may first select a certain video clip, and then display the control for the optional resolutions provided for the video clip. The control may be marked with a resolution value. Then, the user may select a control from the provided controls to indicate that the resolution represented by the control is set to the resolution of the currently selected video clip. It should be noted that the specific resolution values ​​of the N optional resolutions provided for each video clip may be different, and the number N may also be different. The implementation method of providing optional resolutions based on the current network speed is similar to that of providing optional resolutions based on the playback volume, and will not be repeated here.

[0057] By providing optional resolutions through the segment parameters of the video segment and / or the current network speed, the user's selectable resolution can be limited to a resolution that is more suitable for the video segment and / or the current network speed. While increasing the user's flexibility in setting the resolution, it also takes into account the video segment and / or the current network speed.

[0058] In another example, the resolution of the video segment may not be set by the user, but may be automatically assigned, and may be set according to the segment parameters of the corresponding video segment. For example, a video segment with a higher playback volume may use a higher download resolution, and a video segment with a lower playback volume may use a lower download resolution. Alternatively, a larger video segment may use a lower download resolution, and a smaller video segment may use a higher download resolution, and so on.

[0059] In combination with the above example, another example may be provided to recommend the resolution of each video clip to the user, and the user may confirm or modify the resolution.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, the first video includes M video segments, and the M video segments include a first video segment and a second video segment. Accordingly, in response to the first input, step 102 of downloading the first video in a target manner may specifically include the following steps 1021 and 1022:

[0061] Step 1021, in response to the first input, obtaining segment parameters of M video segments;

[0062] Step 1022, downloading the first video in a target manner according to the segment parameters;

[0063] Among them, when the segment parameter of the first video segment is greater than the segment parameter of the second video segment, the first resolution is greater than the second resolution; when the segment parameter of the first video segment is less than or equal to the segment parameter of the second video segment, the first resolution is less than or equal to the second resolution.

[0064] It is understandable that the M video segments in the first video may be automatically divided according to the viewing records of the first video by a large number of users. For example, the first video may be divided into M video segments according to the number of times the first video is viewed at each time point when a large number of users view the first video.

[0065] Further, step 1021 may be executed to respectively obtain segment parameters corresponding to the M video segments, and the segment parameters indicate, to a certain extent, the playback status or excitement of each video segment in the first video.

[0066] It can be understood that if the segment parameter of one video segment among the M video segments is greater than the segment parameter of another video segment, it can be considered that the video segment is more exciting or has been played more times than the other video segment, that is, the user has a higher viewing demand for the video segment.

[0067] Therefore, when the segment parameter of the first video segment is greater than the segment parameter of the second video segment, it can be considered that the first video segment is more exciting or has been played more often than the second video segment, and the user will have a higher demand for watching the first video segment, so the first resolution can be set to be greater than the second resolution, that is, the first resolution with a larger resolution is used to download the first video segment, and the second resolution with a smaller resolution is used to download the second video segment. When the segment parameter of the first video segment is less than the segment parameter of the second video segment, it can be considered that the first video segment is less exciting or has been played less often than the second video segment, and the user will have a higher demand for watching the second video segment, so the first resolution can be set to be less than the second resolution, that is, the second resolution with a larger resolution is used to download the second video segment, and the first resolution with a smaller resolution is used to download the first video segment.

[0068] For example, in the case that the first video is a 4-minute video, according to the viewing records of a large number of users, it is found that the first video has been played 200,000 times from 1:30 to 2:00, and 100,000 times from 2:40 to 3:00, and the number of plays in other time periods is less than 100,000 times. Then the first video can be divided into three video segments, and the three video segments are downloaded at different resolutions. In the downloaded video, the resolution of the video segment from 1:30 to 2:00 is 1080P, the resolution of the video segment from 2:40 to 3:00 is 720P, and the resolution of the video segments in other time periods is 480P.

[0069] In this embodiment, the excitement or playback times of different video clips are represented by segment parameters, and then the resolution of the corresponding video clip is set according to the segment parameters. A higher resolution is set for video clips with higher segment parameters, and a lower resolution is set for video clips with lower segment parameters. This can improve the user's experience of watching videos. The viewing effect is clearer for video clips with more playbacks or more excitement, while a lower resolution is used for video clips with less playbacks or less excitement. This can save traffic used for downloading videos and reduce the time used for downloading videos without affecting the user's viewing experience.

[0070] Combine the following Figure 2 and Figure 3 An exemplary description of a specific implementation is given as follows.

[0071] refer to Figure 2 This is an optional interface diagram. In the playback page of the first video, a "segmented download" control 201 can be provided. After the user clicks the control 201, the playback volume 205 can be prompted above the progress bar 202 of the first video. The playback volume 205 indicates the number of playbacks at the corresponding moment of the progress bar 202 through the height of the wavy line.

[0072] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that the left time period 206 of the first video is a "highlight" segment with a relatively high playback volume, while the right time period 207 is a common segment with a relatively low playback volume. It should be noted that Figure 2 The left time period 206 and the right time period 207 are provided for explanation and are not necessarily displayed on the interface. The user can set the video clip and select the download resolution based on the playback volume 205. For this video, optional 1080P controls 203 and 720P controls 204 are provided.

[0073] Furthermore, after displaying the playback volume of the first video at different times, a third input may be received, the third input is used to set the video segment, and in response to the third input, the first video may be segmented to determine a plurality of video segments. Furthermore, a second input may be received, the second input is used to set the download resolution of each video segment, and in response to the third input, the download resolution of each video segment may be set. In this way, when downloading the first video, the first video is downloaded based on the download resolution set for each video segment.

[0074] The second input and the third input are similar to the first input and can be received by the user input unit, which will not be described in detail here. The second input and the third input can be set directly by the user, for example, Figure 2 A segment point is inserted on the progress bar 202 shown to set the segment, and after clicking the progress bar 202 of each segment to select the corresponding segment, a download resolution is selected from the provided optional download resolutions.

[0075] By displaying the playback volume of the first video at different times, it is convenient for the user to set the video segment and the download resolution of each video segment based on the playback volume. Alternatively, the second input and the third input can also be confirmed or adjusted based on the automatic recommendation.

[0076] For example, before receiving the second input, segmented recommendations of the first video may also be displayed, where the segmented recommendations are segments of the first video recommended based on the amount of playback of the first video at different times. For example, Figure 3 As shown, two recommended video segment identifiers are provided: video segment identifier 302 and video segment identifier 304. These two video segment identifiers can divide the first video into three video segments. Video segment identifier 302 and video segment identifier 304 are provided with deletion identifier 301 and deletion identifier 303 respectively.

[0077] In this way, receiving the second input may include receiving a second input for selecting a segment recommendation or adjusting the segment based on the segment recommendation. That is, the user may not adjust the segment recommendation, and after clicking the start download control 306, the video segment is set according to the recommended segment; or the user may also adjust the video segment, for example, by deleting the time segment point of the corresponding video segment by deleting the mark 301 and the mark 303, by adjusting the position of the video segment mark 302 and the video segment mark 304 to adjust the start / end time of the corresponding video segment, or by clicking a position on the progress bar to insert a time segment point, and so on.

[0078] Through the above segmentation setting method, it is convenient for users to adjust settings based on the recommended segmentation method, reducing user operations.

[0079] Similarly, before receiving the second input, the recommended resolution of the corresponding video segment can also be displayed for at least part of the video segment of the first video. Figure 3 As shown, for the three video clips, each video clip is displayed with a recommended download resolution. For example, for the first video clip on the left, due to the high number of views, a 1080P download resolution logo 305 is displayed in the clip area, indicating that it is recommended that users use the higher 1080P download resolution to download the clip.

[0080] Thus, receiving the second input may include receiving an input for selecting a recommended resolution for at least part of the video clip or selecting an optional resolution other than the recommended resolution. Here, the optional resolution may include a recommended resolution that is optional when the first video is downloaded. For example, Figure 3 As shown, you can click the progress bar of the first video clip on the left to select the corresponding video clip, and then click the two optional download resolutions provided on the right to set the download resolution of the corresponding video clip to the download resolution selected by the user, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the download resolution of the video clip.

[0081] Through the above-mentioned download resolution setting method, it is convenient for users to adjust and set based on the recommended download resolution, thereby reducing user operations.

[0082] If the first video is downloaded in segments, after the first video is downloaded, the downloaded files may be multiple compressed packages, each of which contains a video segment of the first video, and each video segment is downloaded at a corresponding download resolution. The compressed package may also include a configuration file of the video segment corresponding to the first video, so that the player can play it according to the configuration file. The above is only used as an example to illustrate the file type obtained after downloading the first video, and is not used to constitute a limitation on the file type obtained by downloading in the embodiments of the present application.

[0083] Then, after downloading multiple video clips of the first video, a fourth input for instructing to play the first video can be received, so that in response to the fourth input, the first video is spliced ​​and played based on the time sequence of each video clip. For example, when each video clip exists in the form of a compressed file, each compressed package can be decompressed, and the video clips decompressed from the multiple compressed packages can be spliced ​​together and played according to the time sequence provided in the configuration file of each compressed package. In one example, the fourth input can be clicking the play control in the playback page of the first video, and accordingly, the download can be equivalent to caching the first video locally from the server of the video playback platform. By splicing and playing the videos in time sequence, correct playback after the first video is downloaded in segments can be achieved.

[0084] The video download method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a video download device. In the embodiment of the present application, the video download device executing the video download method is taken as an example to illustrate the video download device provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0113] The processor 1010 is used to perform the following steps:

[0114] Receiving a first input of a first video;

[0115] In response to the first input, downloading the first video in a targeted manner;

[0116] Among them, in the downloaded first video, the first video segment of the first video is at the first resolution, and the second video segment of the first video is at the second resolution; the first resolution is different from the second resolution.

[0117] Optionally, the first video may include M video segments. Before the processor 1010 receives a first input of the first video, it may further perform the following steps:

[0118] Displaying segment parameters of each video segment in the first video;

[0119] receiving a second input from a user regarding a first video segment among the M video segments;

[0120] In response to the second input, a resolution of the first video segment is set to a first resolution.

[0121] In an optional implementation manner, when the processor 1010 receives a second input from a user regarding a first video segment among the M video segments and sets the resolution of the first video segment to the first resolution in response to the second input, the following steps may be included:

[0122] receiving a first sub-input from a user, where the first sub-input is used to select a first video segment;

[0129] In response to the first input, obtaining segment parameters of M video segments;

[0130] The first video is downloaded in a targeted manner according to the segment parameters.

[0131] Among them, when the segment parameter of the first video segment is greater than the segment parameter of the second video segment, the first resolution is greater than the second resolution; when the segment parameter of the first video segment is less than or equal to the segment parameter of the second video segment, the first resolution is less than or equal to the second resolution.
