The content of the second electronic device playing the video is not limited here. In addition, it can be understood that the above display of the content of the second electronic device playing the video can also include displaying the playback progress, etc., but the progress of the first electronic device playing the video is independent of the progress of the second electronic device playing the video. The user of the first electronic device can close the content of the second electronic device playing the video displayed on the interface of the first electronic device playing the video, and continue to watch the video with the progress of the first electronic device playing the video.

[0013] That is, through the video sharing method provided by the present application, the user using the first electronic device can switch the perspective to the perspective of the user using the second electronic device to watch the video. In this way, when multiple users watch the video together, they can enjoy the experience of watching the video together even though they are in different places, which is conducive to multiple users sharing wonderful pictures or wonderful clips with each other when watching the video, thereby improving the user viewing experience.

[0014] In a possible implementation of the first aspect above, the video access information includes a link for accessing and playing the video, and multimedia content related to the video; and the first application is a message application, and the first electronic device sends a message to the second electronic device via the message application, and the message includes the video access information.

[0015] That is, the first electronic device shares video access information with the second electronic device through the message application. The video access information presented in the message application can display text introductions, pictures and other multimedia content related to the video. The video access information can be sent to the second electronic device through the message application in the form of a conversation message (i.e., the above-mentioned message).

[0016] For example, a first electronic device (such as a mobile phone) sends video access information of the TV series "The Song of Glory" to a second electronic device (such as a mobile phone) through an instant messaging application such as the Changlian application. The video access information presented in the Changlian application may include multimedia content such as the plot introduction, rating, introduction to the main actors, and stills of "The Song of Glory". In this way, users can quickly understand the details of the video shared in the messaging application, and decide whether they are interested, open the video and watch it with everyone, etc.

[0017] In a possible implementation of the first aspect above, a first electronic device sends video access information of a video to a second electronic device via a first application, including: the first electronic device sends the video access information to the second electronic device via a session interface of a message application; wherein the session interface includes a first user identifier and a second user identifier, the first user identifier is used to identify a first user operating the first electronic device, and the second user identifier is used to identify a second user operating the second electronic device.

[0018] That is, the first electronic device can send the video access information to the conversation interface of the message application, such as the group chat interface in the message application, so that each member of the chat group corresponding to the group chat interface can click on the above video access message to open the video and watch it together. In other embodiments, the above conversation interface can also be a one-to-one chat interface in the message application, that is, the user of the first electronic device can send the above video access information on the one-to-one chat interface with the user of the second electronic device. It can be understood that the user of the first electronic device can also choose to select multiple friends in the address book of the message application (such as friends in the Changlian address book) and send the above video access information to multiple people through multiple one-to-one chat interfaces. In this way, it is convenient for users to share videos with multiple people at the same time.

[0019] In a possible implementation of the first aspect above, the first electronic device obtains the status of the video playback of the second electronic device based on the video playback data, including: in the interface of the video playback of the first electronic device, displaying the progress of the video playback of the second electronic device and the second user identifier; wherein the second user identifier is used to jump to the progress corresponding to the video playback data, or to display the content of the video played by the second electronic device.

[0020] For example, in the above example, the icon of the second electronic device displayed on the progress bar of the video playback interface of the first electronic device can be a second user identifier, and the second user identifier is, for example, the user name and avatar logged in on an instant messaging application such as the Changlian application. For example, the nickname and avatar of the Changlian friend can be displayed above the corresponding progress of the progress bar of the video playback interface of the first electronic device. In this way, it is convenient for users to understand the progress of friends watching videos together, and it is helpful to find chat topics, such as discussing the highlights at different progress, etc., which is conducive to improving the user's viewing experience.

[0021] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the video access information includes a card for accessing the video, where the card includes multimedia content related to the video and a link for accessing the video.

[0022] The card includes a first option and a second option, wherein the first option is used to trigger the playback of a video; the second option is used to trigger the playback of the video through a third electronic device that works in conjunction with a second electronic device; the first electronic device obtains the status of the second electronic device playing the video based on the video playback data, and also includes: in the interface of the first electronic device playing the video, displaying the progress of the third electronic device playing the video and the device icon of the third electronic device.

[0023] The second electronic device plays the video in response to the user's play operation on the video access information, including: the second electronic device triggers the video playback in response to the user clicking the first option of the card; or the second electronic device triggers the video to play on the third electronic device in response to the user clicking the second option of the card.

[0024] For example, the card included in the above video access information is, for example, a session message presenting video-related content obtained by the "@service card" described in the following embodiments. Refer to the relevant description and interface diagram of searching for video keywords by the "@service card" in the following embodiments, for example, Figure 5CAs shown, the user can click the play button (i.e. the first option of the card) on the conversation message to directly open the video in the message application (such as the Changlian application) for playback, and the user can also click the smart screen play button (i.e. the second option of the card) on the conversation message to play the video on the smart screen that cooperates with the mobile phone. In this way, the user can select a device to play the video from multiple devices that are currently connected or coordinated based on the scene, which is conducive to improving the user's viewing experience.

[0025] It is understood that when the user of the second electronic device selects the second option (for example, Figure 5C When a shared video is played by clicking the smart screen play button shown in the figure, the playback progress of the second electronic device displayed on the video playback interface of the first electronic device is the progress of the video being played on the third electronic device. At the same time, the device icon of the third electronic device currently playing the video can also be displayed at the corresponding progress, for example, as shown below Figure 7 Device icon 516b is shown.

[0026] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the second electronic device shares video playback data generated by playing a video with the first electronic device, including: the second electronic device uploads the video playback data to a server that is communicatively connected to the first electronic device and the second electronic device; and the first electronic device obtains the video playback data from the server. The server is a server for running the first application.

[0027] That is, the first electronic device and the second electronic device synchronize video playback data through the server, and the first application on the first electronic device and the first application on the second electronic device are both run through the server. It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the user logged in on the first application of the first electronic device and the user logged in on the first application of the second electronic device are friends with each other, or are members of the same chat group. For example, user A using mobile phone 201-1 and user B using mobile phone 201-2 described in the embodiments below are friends with each other, or both are members of the Changlian chat group "Happy Family".

[0028] In a possible implementation of the first aspect above, the video playback data includes comment messages edited and posted by the user on the interface for playing the video on the second electronic device, and the comment messages are associated with the playback progress of the video; wherein the comment messages can be displayed on the playback interface of the video together with the corresponding playback progress information; and the comment messages are at least used to trigger a jump to the corresponding playback progress.

[0029] That is, the interface of the first electronic device playing the video can display the comment message posted by the user through the second electronic device, also known as the bullet screen, and the comment message is displayed in association with the corresponding video playback progress. The user of the first electronic device can click the bullet screen on the video playback interface to jump to the playback progress corresponding to the bullet screen comment. In other embodiments, other device users watching the video together can click the bullet screen on the video playback interface to jump to the corresponding playback progress, which is not limited here.

[0030] For example, in the following embodiment, user A using mobile phone 201-1 can click on the bullet screen comment posted by user B through mobile phone 201-2 on the interface of playing the video on mobile phone 201-1, and choose to jump to the playback progress corresponding to the bullet screen comment. In this way, when watching a video together, users can switch to the corresponding highlight clips according to the bullet screen content, which is conducive to improving the user's viewing experience.

[0031] In a possible implementation of the first aspect above, the corresponding playback progress corresponds to the time when the comment message is published; or the corresponding playback progress information indicates the time when editing the comment message starts, or the corresponding playback progress information indicates the time when the comment message is sent.

[0032] For example, in the following embodiments, the playback progress corresponding to the bullet screen comments displayed on the video playback interface may be the playback progress corresponding to the moment when user A clicks the post comment button on the video playback interface to call up the input method to start editing the comment message, or may be the post comment interface displayed by user A on the video playback interface (see below). Fig.12 The playback progress corresponding to the moment when the send button is clicked after completing the editing of the comment message in the message sending interface shown in the figure is not limited here.

[0033] In a possible implementation of the first aspect above, the comment message can be shared as a conversation message to other electronic devices via the first application, and the conversation message is at least used to trigger the playback of the video and jump to the corresponding playback progress.

[0034] That is, the comment messages posted by users on the video playback interface can be converted into conversation messages (i.e., messages in the above-mentioned message application) when sent via the message application. The conversation messages converted from the above-mentioned comment messages can also be used as messages for sharing videos. Users of other devices can open the video playback by clicking on the conversation messages converted from the comment messages displayed on the conversation interface, and can jump to the playback progress corresponding to the comment messages. In this way, each member of the chat group can directly open the video and jump to the corresponding highlights through the conversation messages on the group chat interface, making it convenient for each member of the chat group to join in watching the video together and share their own viewing experience.

[0035] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the method further includes: the second electronic device initiating an audio or video call with the first electronic device during video playback; and the first electronic device displaying an audio or video call interface on the video playback interface.

[0036] That is, the user of the first electronic device and the user of the second electronic device can make an audio or video call through the video playback interface. For example, in the following embodiments, user B can click the audio or video call button in the video playback window to initiate an audio or video call to any number of any members in the chat group, such as user A. For example, when user B and user A are making an audio or video call, if user B clicks the avatar of user A on the progress bar in the video playback window to switch to user A's perspective, user B can see the call interface between user A and user B on the video playback window of mobile phone 201-1 after switching. In other embodiments, if user A is in a video call with another user C who is watching a video together in the chat group, after user B switches to user A's perspective, he can also see the call interface between user A and user C on the video playback window of mobile phone 201-1.

[0037] It is understandable that, since the content of the audio and video call may involve the user's personal privacy, if you want to obtain the audio and video call interface on the other party's device during the operation of switching to the other party's perspective, the other party's device can request the authorization of the user of the other party's device in the form of a pop-up window before the audio and video call interface on the other party's device can be displayed. In the above example, especially for other users besides user A and user B (for example, user C is also in a one-to-one video call), based on privacy protection, even if user A authorizes user B to switch to his perspective, only the call interface with user C or only the avatar of user C is displayed on the interface displayed by the mobile phone 201-1 seen by user B, and user B cannot obtain the content of the call between user A and user C. In other embodiments, if users A, B and C are chatting in a group call through the above audio and video call button, user B can obtain the content of the call between users A and C by switching to the perspective of user A, which is not required here.

[0076] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It will be appreciated that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. In addition, for ease of description, only some but not all structures or processes related to the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that in this specification, similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following accompanying drawings.

[0077] exist Figures 1A-1E In the scenario shown, in order to solve the problem that users are inconvenient to interact and communicate when watching videos together, this application provides a video sharing method, which improves the service experience of users watching videos together in a group chat by providing the following functional solutions:

[0078] First, the method provided in the present application realizes sharing of videos in a group chat interface or in multiple one-to-one chat interfaces at the same time by sharing video access information in a conversation interface in a message application (such as an instant messaging application). For example, the video access information corresponding to the searched keyword is shared by entering "@service card + search keyword" in the chat input box of the conversation interface. The video access information includes text introduction, multimedia data such as pictures, and playback links, etc., so that users can initiate invitations to watch videos together in group chats, and users can also choose to play videos on the current group chat device or on the smart screen from the content recommended by the service card, that is, users are supported to watch videos on other devices;

[0079] Secondly, the method provided by the present application adds a perspective switching function and a progress switching function through a video playback interface watched by multiple users, so that users can switch to other users' viewing perspectives or switch to other users' viewing progress to watch highlights together, thereby increasing the fun of sharing when watching videos together, and each user watching the video together can control his or her own viewing progress, and the exit of others from watching the video together will not affect the user's continued viewing;

[0080] Thirdly, the method provided by the present application associates the bullet screen comment message displayed on the video playback interface with the corresponding playback progress to mark the playback progress corresponding to the user's comment, thereby facilitating the user to click on the bullet screen to choose to jump to the highlight clip at the playback progress corresponding to the bullet screen comment. At the same time, a "synchronization" function option is added to the above-displayed bullet screen. When the user makes a comment, the user can choose to synchronize the comment to the group chat. In this way, members of the group chat who have not yet watched the video together can click on the comment to open the corresponding progress in the corresponding video and watch the highlight clip corresponding to the comment together. Alternatively, the user can click on the program label below the comment to open the program video corresponding to the comment and start watching it, which is conducive to increasing the group chat atmosphere and sharing fun, and improving the user experience.

[0081] Fourthly, the method provided in the present application adds a "video call / voice call" function button to the video playback interface. Users can use the button to initiate a video call or voice call to other members, making it easier for group chat members who are watching videos together to communicate with each other.

[0090] On the mobile phone 201-1: after detecting that the user initiates a call on the video playback interface, the video playback module 2011a sends an instruction to initiate a call to the audio and video call module 2013a, and the audio and video call module 2013a receives or sends call information through the session management module 2015a; after detecting that the user sends a message and / or comment, the video playback module 2011a sends a message and / or comment content and a sending instruction to the message sending module 2014a, and the message sending module 2014a sends the message and / or comment content through the session management module 2015a. The session management module 2015a sends information and / or comments in the form of conversation messages. The session management module 2015a displays the received messages through the message display module 2012a. The comments posted by the user can be sent to the video playback module 2013a through the message display module 2012a for synchronous display. If the user clicks on the message or comment to open the video and the corresponding playback progress, the message display module 2012a can send a video playback instruction to the video playback module 2011a, and the video playback module 2011a plays the video and directly jumps to the corresponding progress.

[0091] On mobile phone 201-2: the information transmission and module interaction process between the video playback module 2011b, the session management module 2015b, the audio and video call module 2013b, the message sending module 2014b and the message display module 2012b are the same as the information transmission and interaction process between the modules in the above-mentioned mobile phone 201-1, and will not be repeated here.

[0092] Specifically, the functions of each module on the mobile phone 201-1 or the mobile phone 201-2 can be summarized as follows:

[0093] The video playing module 2011a or 2011b is used to obtain the corresponding video content from the video service module 2022 of the server 202, play the video content to the user and manage the playing status, playing progress, etc., and upload the playing status and progress, etc. to the data synchronization module 2021 of the server 202;

[0094] The message display module 2012a or 2012b is used to display chat messages sent by users, information related to shared videos, and comments posted by users when watching videos, etc.;

[0095] The audio and video call module 2013a or 2013b is used to process relevant messages during the audio and video call, events triggering the audio and video call and relevant processes, etc.;

[0096] The message sending module 2014a or 2014b is used to send the chat information edited and input by the user, the video selected for sharing, and the comment message edited and input by the user;

[0097] The conversation management module 2015a or 2015b is used to manage and synchronously update the chat group member list and other information, and manage the chat group conversation messages and conversation messages between contacts.

[0098] In the server 202, the data synchronization module 2021 receives the video playback status and progress uploaded by the playback devices such as the mobile phone 201-1 and the mobile phone 201-2, and synchronizes the data between the devices; the video service module 2022 can respond to the video query and playback requests on the playback devices such as the mobile phone 201-1 and the mobile phone 201-2, and return the video-related data content to each device for playback by each device. For the request to query / obtain the video information, the video service module 2022 sends the relevant video information to each device in the form of a session message through the group and message management module 2023; the group and message management module 2023 manages and synchronizes the group members, and manages and synchronizes the session messages through the session management modules on the mobile phone 201-1 and the mobile phone 201-2.

[0099] Specifically, the data synchronization module 221 is used to synchronize the video playback information of some or all members in the chat group playing the video through the video access information in the chat group, including the playback status and playback progress of the corresponding video;

[0100] Video service module 222, used to provide video related information query services and provide video playback content and other related data services;

[0101] The group and message management module 2023 is used to manage the addition and deletion of members in the chat group, as well as the storage, sending and receiving, and synchronization of real-time messages in the chat group.

[0102] It can be understood that the above-mentioned video playback module, message display module, audio and video call module, message sending module and session management module can be set in the application layer of the operating system of mobile phones 201-1 and 201-2. For example, the instant messaging application configured or installed on mobile phones 201-1 and 201-2 includes the above-mentioned modules. In other embodiments, for example, the operating system of mobile phones 201-1 and 201-2 is the Hongmeng operating system (Homney OS), the above-mentioned video playback module, message display module, audio and video call module, message sending module and session management module can be set as atomic functional modules of the framework layer, and called by various application programs of the application layer. For example, the Changlian application and video application on mobile phones 201-1 and 201-2 can call the above-mentioned modules to achieve the effect that can be achieved by the video sharing method of this application, which is not limited here.

[0103] As an example, the instant messaging application installed on mobile phones 201-1 and 201-2 is taken as an example to illustrate the present application scheme, wherein the account of user A is logged in on mobile phone 201-1, and the account of user B is logged in on mobile phone 201-2, and user A and user B are members of the same chat group.

[0104] Based on the above Figure 2 The communication system shown and Figure 3 The system software architecture is shown, and an implementation process of the video sharing method of the present application is introduced below with an application scenario combining Embodiment 1 to Embodiment 4.

[0105] Embodiment 1

[0106] The embodiment of the present application is based on a scenario in which users share video information in a group chat, and introduces in detail the implementation process of the video sharing method provided by the present application.

[0107] Figure 4 The specific implementation process of the video sharing method provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown. The following steps are included:

[0108] 401: Mobile phone 201-2 detects the operation of user B querying video information in the chat group.

[0109] Specifically, user B inputs a command to call out a video service card and a search keyword in a predetermined format in the chat group displayed on mobile phone 201 - 2 to search for video information corresponding to the keyword.

[0110] refer to FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C As shown, user B can Figure 5A Click the Changlian application icon 501b in the desktop application icon of the mobile phone 201-2 to open Figure 5B The smooth connection interface 502b shown in FIG. Figure 5B As shown, the recent contact list displayed on the interface 502b includes a chat group 503b, for example, the name of the chat group 503b is "Happy Family"; user B clicks on the chat group 503b on the Changlian interface 502b to open Figure 5CIn the group chat interface 504b shown, user B can edit and input "@video service card and query keywords" in the chat box 5041b, for example, in the format of "@my smart screen Jinxiu Nange", to query relevant video information, where "my smart screen" is a device service card that supports Changlian application sharing, which can be saved in the form of Changlian application "contact" for users to call. When mobile phone 201-2 is connected to a smart screen device, the smart screen device can be saved as a "contact" in the Changlian application running on mobile phone 201-1. Users can also customize the contact name for the smart screen device, such as defining it as "my smart screen" or "XXX's smart screen", etc., without limitation here.

[0111] refer to Figure 5C As shown, the user enters "@my smart screen" on the group chat interface 504b to wake up the video playback service provided by "my smart screen"; "Splendid Southern Song" is the keyword for querying the program name. After waking up the video playback service corresponding to "my smart screen", the user can search for the video content named "Splendid Southern Song" to query the relevant program content, generate video access information and share it to the group chat interface 504b. In other embodiments, the user can also enter "@my smart screen currently playing" to share the video access information related to the video currently playing on the smart screen device to the group chat interface 504b. The presentation form of the video access information can refer to Figure 5C The session message 510b shown, Figure 5C The interface shown will be described in detail below and will not be repeated here. Members in chat group 503b can click on the video access information to choose to play it directly on the mobile phone running the Changlian application, or choose to play it on a smart screen device connected to the mobile phone, without limitation.

[0112] It can be understood that any member of the chat group 503b can enter @video service card and query keywords of the video to be shared in the chat box of the group chat interface and send it to query video related information corresponding to the query keywords.

[0113] 402: Mobile phone 201-2 sends a video information query instruction to server 202 in response to the operation instruction of user B.

[0114] Specifically, after the processor of the mobile phone 201 - 2 processes the “@video service card and query keyword” operation instruction input by user B on the group chat interface 504 b of the Changlian application, it can send a query instruction to the server 202 through the wireless communication module.

[0115] 403: The server 202 queries the corresponding video information based on the received query instruction, and stores the queried related video information.

[0116] Specifically, for the aforementioned example, the group and message management module 2023 on the server 202 receives a query instruction message from user B on the Changlian application to wake up the video service card and query for keywords corresponding to the program name. For example, the query instruction message corresponding to user B entering "@My Smart Screen The Song of Swords and Silk". The group and message management module 2023 identifies the keyword "The Song of Swords and Silk" in the query instruction message and queries the video service module 2022 to obtain relevant video information corresponding to the above query keyword. The video information may include, but is not limited to, video identification, video introduction, video duration, poster, and other information.

[0117] 404: The server 202 sends the queried relevant video information to the chat group.

[0118] Specifically, for the aforementioned example, the group and message management module 2023 on the server 202 sends the relevant video information of "The Song of Swords and Silk" obtained to the corresponding chat group in the Changlian application. The session management module 2015a on the mobile phone 201-1 used by user A or the session management module 2015b on the mobile phone 201-2 used by user B can both receive the video information, that is, the Changlian application running on the mobile phone 201-1 or the mobile phone 201-2 receives the relevant video information of "The Song of Swords and Silk".

[0119] 405: The mobile phones 201-1 and 201-2 display the video information received in the chat group in the form of a session message.

[0120] Specifically, the session management module 2015a on the mobile phone 201-1 converts the relevant video information received in the chat group into the form of a session message and displays it on the chat interface of the chat group opened in the Changlian application through the message display module 2012a; the session management module 2015b on the mobile phone 201-2 converts the relevant video information received in the chat group into the form of a session message and displays it on the chat interface of the chat group opened in the Changlian application through the message display module 2012b. Among them, the session message converted by the session management module 2015a or 2015b includes the above-mentioned relevant video information.

[0121] For example, for the aforementioned example, refer to Figure 5C As shown, the corresponding chat interface opened in the Changlian application on the mobile phone 201-2, that is Figure 5C As shown in the group chat interface 504b, a session message 510b containing relevant video information of "The Song of Swords and Silk" is displayed. The program name can be displayed on the session message 510b, for example Figure 5CIn the example of Splendid Southern Song, the conversation message 510b may also display a play button 511b, a smart screen play button 512b, and a shared status bar 513b showing the members and number of people who are watching the video together in the chat group 503b. Interface reference for displaying a conversation message containing video information related to Splendid Southern Song on mobile phone 201-2 Figure 5C As shown, no further description is given here.

[0122] In some other embodiments, the above session message 510b may also include multiple programs, see Figure 5D As shown, user B edits and inputs the query information "@My Smart Screen Recently Hot" in the above step 401. After the server 202 finds the relevant video information, it sends the obtained recently hot video information to the chat group 502b. The conversation message 510b containing the recently hot video information displayed on the mobile phone 201-2 can include multiple video program names, such as Figure 5D The program name 1, program name 2, program name 3, program name 4, etc. are shown. The popularity of each program name can be displayed below the program name, such as displaying the playback frequency information, etc. The conversation message 510b can also include the above-mentioned play button 511b corresponding to each program name. Below the conversation message 510b, an option button can also be provided, such as Figure 5D As shown, the view more button 514b, the user can click the button 514b to open more program lists.

[0123] It is understandable that the mobile phones and other electronic devices used by the members of the chat group 503 run the above Figure 3 The instant messaging applications of each module of the mobile phone 201-1 or 201-2 shown in the figure can request and receive the relevant video information obtained by querying the server 202 through the above steps 401 to 405 and convert it into the above-mentioned video information. Figure 5C or Figure 5D The conversation message 510b shown is displayed in Figure 5C or Figure 5D The group chat interface 504b is shown and will not be described in detail here.

[0124] 406: Mobile phone 201-1 detects that user A clicks on a conversation message in the chat group containing relevant video information to play the video.

[0125] Specifically, refer to Fig. 6A As shown, user A can click the play button 511a in the conversation message 510a containing the relevant video information in the group chat interface 504a displayed in the Changlian application running on the mobile phone 201-1 to directly play the video on the mobile phone 201-1. Fig. 6AOr in some other embodiments, user A can also click the smart screen play button 512a on the group chat interface 504a to play the video on the smart screen, see Fig. 6A Operation ② shown in the figure, in which the smart screen that can play the video can be connected to the mobile phone 201-1 of user A with Figure 2 It is understood that user A can also learn which group members are watching the video content corresponding to the session information 510a by clicking the sharing status bar 513a on the group chat interface 504a.

[0126] Understandably, Fig. 6A Other group members in the chat group 503a shown can also click on the conversation message to open the relevant video, which will not be repeated here.

[0127] In addition, refer to Fig. 6A As shown, a video playback window 515a may also be displayed in the upper right corner of the group chat interface 504a, and the real-time number of viewers of the video may also be displayed through a sharing status bar 513a below the video playback window 515a. Figure 6B As shown, if the video information queried by user B in the above step 401 contains multiple programs, such as the video information related to the most recent hits, the above video playback window 515a displayed on the group chat interface 504a may be Figure 6B In the form shown, the video playback window 515a shows that one person is watching "Program Name 1", three people are watching "Program Name 2", and two people are watching "Program Name 3". The sharing status bar 513a below the video playback window 515a shows how many people are watching the video together, for example, six people are watching the video together. It can be understood that if the group members in the chat group watch more programs, for example, there are four or more programs, the user can also slide left on the video playback window 515a (refer to Figure 6B To view the number of people who are watching other programs at the same time, perform the operation ③) shown in the figure.

[0128] It can be understood that the above-mentioned video playback window 515a can be a floating window. In other embodiments, the video playback window 515a can also be displayed in other locations or in other forms, which is not limited here.

[0129] 407: In response to the operation instruction of user A, mobile phone 201-1 opens the relevant video information and plays the video.

[0130] Specifically, after mobile phone 201-1 receives an operation instruction from user A to click the play button 511a, the video playback module 2011a requests the corresponding video data from the video service module 2022 in the server 202 based on the video identifier in the relevant video information contained in the session message 510a, for example, the video identifier is the identification number (ID) of the relevant video, and starts playing the corresponding video. In other embodiments, after mobile phone 201-1 receives an operation instruction from user A to click the smart screen play button 512a, mobile phone 201-1 can call the video playback module on the smart screen to request the corresponding video data from the video service module 2022 in the server 202 based on the interconnection relationship between the mobile phone 201-1 and the smart screen, and start playing the corresponding video.

[0145] Embodiment 2

[0146] The embodiments of the present application are based on a scenario in which users switch to other members' perspectives when watching a video together in a group chat, or switch to other members' playback progress to watch the video together, and the implementation process of the video sharing method provided by the present application is introduced in detail.

[0147] Figure 8 The specific implementation process of the video sharing method provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown. The following steps are included:

[0148] Steps 801 to 810 are the same as those in the first embodiment. Figure 4 The described steps 401 to 410 are identical and will not be repeated here.

[0149] The difference between step 811 and step 411 in the first embodiment is that in step 811 of the present embodiment, when mobile phone 201-2 receives and displays the video playback data on mobile phone 201-1, the interface of the video playback window displayed is the same as that in the first embodiment. Figure 7 Shown is different.

[0150] Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of a video playback window interface provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0151] like Fig. 9 As shown, in the video playback window 901b from the perspective of user B displayed on the display screen of the mobile phone 201-2 in the embodiment of the present application, a progress bar 902b displays the total duration 9021 of the video and the duration 9022 of the video that has been played. The progress position of other group members who are watching the video together in watching the video is also displayed above the progress bar 902b, wherein the duration 9022 of the video that has been played matches the progress position, for example Fig. 9 As shown, the progress position B 9023 of the local user B watching the video, the progress position A9024 of the user A watching the video, and the progress position C 9205 of the user C watching the video, so in Fig. 9 In the perspective of user B, the played time 9022 corresponding to the progress position B 9023 of user B is displayed as "01:02:19". In addition, the video playback window 901b also displays an exit button 903b, an exit watch together button 904b, and an audio and video call button 905b, wherein user B can initiate an audio and video call to any member of the chat group 504b by clicking the audio and video call button 905b. It can be understood that user B can also select multiple members of the chat group 504b to initiate a group voice call or a group video call by clicking the audio and video call button 905b.

[0152] like Fig. 9 As shown in the video playback window 901b, a switch view button and a switch progress button may also be displayed above the avatars of other members. The user may click the avatar of the target object for whom the view or progress is to be switched to pop up the above two buttons. For example, user B clicks user A's avatar (refer to Fig. 9 As shown in operation ④), a switch perspective button 906b and a switch progress button 907b are displayed above the avatar of user A. For illustration, the switch perspective button 906b may be displayed as "switch to TA's perspective", and the switch progress button 907b may be displayed as "synchronize to TA's progress". In other embodiments, the display form and display content of the switch perspective button and the switch progress button may be other, which are not limited here.

[0153] Refer to the above Figure 3The communication system software architecture and Fig. 9 As shown, the progress of user A watching the video is displayed at progress position A on the video playback window 901b from the perspective of user B. When user B clicks on the avatar of user A at progress position A and clicks on the switch perspective button 906b, the video playback module 2011b on the mobile phone 201-2 obtains the video playback data on the mobile phone 201-1 based on the data synchronization module 2021 from the server 202. The Changlian application running on the mobile phone 201-2 can respond to the operation of user B and display the video playback window from the perspective of user A at this time (see below). Fig. 10C 901a shown); wherein the video playback data includes the video playback progress and data such as comments and barrages posted by all users during the video playback process. The video playback module 2011b on the mobile phone 201-2 can also obtain the status data of the audio and video call of user A, so as to synchronously display the audio and video call window of user A's perspective during the above-mentioned switching of perspectives.

[0154] It can be understood that in other embodiments, during the above-mentioned process of switching perspectives, a pop-up notification may be used to ask user A whether he agrees that user B switches to his perspective to watch the video and whether he authorizes user B to obtain the status data of the audio and video call on mobile phone 201-1 after switching perspectives, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0155] Similarly, when user B clicks on the avatar of user A at progress position A and clicks on the switch progress button 907b, the video playback module 2011b on the mobile phone 201-2 jumps to the playback progress of the video being watched by user A at that time based on the acquired video playback data of user A and continues to watch the video.

[0156] It can be understood that when user B switches to user A's perspective or switches to user A's progress, user A and user B can maintain an audio or video call, communicate and interact, and discuss the highlights of the video.

[0157] The above process is detailed in the relevant descriptions in the following steps 812 to 815, which will not be repeated here.

[0158] 812: Mobile phone 201-2 detects that user B initiates an audio or video call.

[0159] Specifically, user B clicks the audio or video call button 905b in the video playback window 901b displayed on the Changlian application running on the mobile phone 201-2, selects the call partner, and clicks OK to initiate a voice call or video call.

[0160] refer to Fig. 10AAs shown, when user B clicks the audio or video call button 905b, the group member list 1001 in the chat group 504b is displayed on the mobile phone 201-2. User B clicks the check box 1002 behind user A and user C, and clicks the confirmation button 1003 in the upper right corner of the group member list to initiate a voice call or video call to user A and user C.

[0161] 813: In response to the operation of user B, mobile phone 201 - 2 initiates a voice call or a video call to mobile phone 201 - 1 through server 202 .

[0162] Specifically, in response to the operation of user B initiating an audio or video call, the video call module 2011b on the mobile phone 201-2 sends a call initiation instruction to the audio or video call module 2013b, and the audio or video call module 2013b initiates a voice or video call, and sends or receives a call message through the session management module 2015b. The session management module 2015b on the mobile phone 201-2 synchronizes the session message with the session management module 2015a on the mobile phone 201-1 through the group and message management module 2023 on the server 202, thereby realizing the audio or video call between the mobile phones 201-2 and 201-1, that is, the audio or video call between user B and user A. Similarly, the process of user B initiating an audio or video call to user C is the same as the above process, which will not be repeated here.

[0163] refer to Fig. 10B As shown, after user B successfully initiates an audio or video call with user A and user C, an audio or video call window 1004 is displayed in the video playback window 901b from the perspective of user B displayed on the mobile phone 201-2. The audio or video call window 1004 displays user A's video window 1005, user C's video window 1006 and user B's call window 1007. It can be understood that the picture displayed in the video window 1005 is the image data captured by the camera of user A's mobile phone 201-1 and synchronized through the data synchronization module 2021 on the server 202. Similarly, the video window 1006 and the call window 1007 are the image data captured by the camera on the electronic device used by user C and the camera on user B's mobile phone 201-2, respectively.

[0164] Back to Fig. 10B As shown, the video call window 1004 also displays an exit / switch to voice button 1008, and user B can click the button 1008 to switch the ongoing video call to a voice call or exit the ongoing video call. Fig. 10BAs shown, from the perspective of user B, user A's video window 1005 and user C's video window 1006 can be displayed as large windows or as front windows, which is in line with the user's calling habits. In other embodiments, the above-mentioned audio and video call window 1004 can also be displayed in other forms, which are not limited here.

[0165] 814: Mobile phone 201 - 2 detects the operation of user B switching to another person's progress, and switches to the playback progress of user A to continue playing the video.

[0166] Specifically, user B clicks on the avatar of user A in the video playback window 901b displayed on the Changlian application running on mobile phone 201-2 (refer to the above Fig. 9 Operation ④) shown in FIG. 1 shows the switch view button 906b and the switch progress button 907b above the avatar of user A. Click the switch progress button 907b (refer to FIG. 1). Fig. 10B Operation ⑤) shown in the figure selects to switch to the playback progress of user A. In response to the operation of user B, the video playback module 2011b on the mobile phone 201-2 adjusts the progress of the corresponding video played on the current mobile phone 201-2 to the video playback progress synchronized with user A based on the video playback data of user A synchronized with the data synchronization module 2021 on the server 202, such as the video playback progress and the comments and barrages posted by all users during the video playback process, that is, the progress of the corresponding video played on the mobile phone 201-2 of user B is switched to the playback progress of user A. It can be understood that when user B switches to the playback progress of user A, the progress of the video watched by user B before is replaced by the playback progress of user A, and the previous playback progress of user B is cleared.

[0167] It can be understood that the function of switching progress button 907b is beneficial for users to share the same screen in the video content. For example, when user B is communicating with user A during a video call, user B switches the current video playback progress to user A's playback progress to facilitate communication.

[0168] 815: Mobile phone 201-2 detects the operation of user B switching to another person's perspective, and switches to user A's perspective to watch the video.

[0169] Specifically, user B clicks on the avatar of user A in the video playback window 901b displayed on the Changlian application running on mobile phone 201-2 (refer to the above Fig. 9 Operation ④) shown in FIG. 4 shows the switch perspective button 906b and the switch progress button 907b displayed above the avatar of user A. Click the switch perspective button 906b (refer to FIG. 4). Fig. 10BOperation ⑥) shown, choose to switch to the perspective of user A. The video playback module 2011b on the mobile phone 201-2 responds to the operation of user B, obtains the video playback data of user A synchronized by the data synchronization module 2021 on the server 202, such as the video playback progress and the comments and barrages posted by all users during the video playback process, and displays the screen currently displayed on the mobile phone 201-2 as the video playback window 901a displayed on the mobile phone 201-1 of user A. The video playback module 2011b can also obtain the audio and video call data conducted by user A through the Changlian application, such as the window status of the audio and video call conducted by user A at this time. The video playback module 2011b switches the video playback window 901b on the mobile phone 201-2 to the video playback window 901a of the perspective of user A displayed on the mobile phone 201-1 based on the above-mentioned video playback data and the window status of the audio and video call. Reference Fig. 10C As shown, at this time, after switching to the video playback window 901a from the perspective of user A, the positions of user A's video window 1005 and user B's video window 1007 in the audio and video call window 1004 have been aligned. Fig. 10B In addition, the progress position 9024 below the head portrait of user A is highlighted, and the played time 9022 is also displayed as "00:35:50". At this time, the video playback window 901b displayed on the mobile phone 201-2 may also display an exit button 1009. User B can click the button 1009 to exit the perspective of user A and switch back to his own perspective. That is, after user B clicks the button 1009, the screen displayed on the mobile phone 201-2 changes from Fig. 10C The screen changes to Fig. 10B The screen shown.

[0170] It can be understood that the function of switching perspective button 906b is conducive to users sharing the same screen in the video content. For example, when user B is communicating about the video content during a video call with user A, to facilitate communication, user B switches the current mobile phone display screen to user A's perspective to discuss with A.

[0171] It can be understood that when user B switches to user A's perspective, mobile phone 201-2 can send a confirmation notification of "Do you agree to switch perspective" to mobile phone 201-1 through server 202. After user A clicks "Confirm" or "Agree" on mobile phone 201-1, user B's mobile phone 201-2 can switch to user A's perspective to continue playing the video.

[0172] In other embodiments, the operation method for the user to switch to the perspective of others and the form of screen change on the electronic device such as the mobile phone used by the user can be other, which are not limited here.

[0173] It can be understood that there is no requirement for the execution order of the above-mentioned steps 812 to 813, step 814 and step 815. In other embodiments, steps 812 to 813 and step 815 may be executed first, and then step 814; or step 814 or step 815 may be executed first, and then steps 812 to 813. There is no limitation here.

[0261] The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (API) and a programming framework for the applications in the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

[0262] like Fig. 20 As shown, the application framework layer may include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, and the like.

[0263] The window manager is used to manage window programs. The window manager can obtain the display screen size, determine whether there is a status bar, lock the screen, capture the screen, etc. The content provider is used to store and obtain data and make the data accessible to applications. The data may include video, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc.

[0264] The view system includes visual controls, such as controls for displaying text, controls for displaying images, etc. The view system can be used to build applications. A display interface can be composed of one or more views. For example, a display interface including a text notification icon can include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying images.

[0265] The phone manager is used to provide communication functions of the electronic device 100, such as management of call status (including connecting, hanging up, etc.).

[0266] The resource manager provides various resources for applications, such as localized strings, icons, images, layout files, video files, etc. The notification manager enables applications to display notification information in the status bar. It can be used to convey notification-type messages and can disappear automatically after a short stay without user interaction. For example, the notification manager is used to notify the completion of downloads, message reminders, etc. The notification manager can also be a notification that appears in the system top status bar in the form of a chart or scroll bar text, such as notifications of applications running in the background, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, a text message is prompted in the status bar, a prompt sound is emitted, an electronic device vibrates, an indicator light flashes, etc.

[0267] Android Runtime includes core libraries and virtual machines. Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and management of the Android system.

[0268] The core library consists of two parts: one part is the function that needs to be called by the Java language, and the other part is the Android core library.

[0269] The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the Java files of the application layer and the application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used to perform functions such as object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

[0270] The system library may include multiple functional modules, such as surface manager, media library, 3D graphics processing library (such as OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engine (such as SGL), etc.

[0271] The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provide fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications. The media library supports playback and recording of multiple common audio and video formats, as well as static image files. The media library can support multiple audio and video encoding formats, such as: MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc.
