Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of multimedia technology, and more specifically, to a video playback method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of multimedia technology, short videos, characterized by their concise content, rich themes, and rapid updates, have gained popularity among various platforms and users. Currently, short video playback software can display multiple videos and automatically play a pre-configured selected video. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This summary section is provided to briefly introduce the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. This summary section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solution.

[0004] In a first aspect, this disclosure provides a video playback method, the method comprising:

[0005] A video stream page is displayed, which shows multiple video cards in at least two columns, and each video card corresponds to a video.

[0006] Based on the preset playback detection area, target video cards that meet the playback conditions are determined in each column of video cards, wherein the preset playback detection area corresponding to each column of video cards is different;

[0007] Play the videos corresponding to all the target video cards.

[0008] Secondly, this disclosure provides a video playback device, the device comprising:

[0009] The display module is used to display a video stream page, which displays multiple video cards in at least two columns, and each video card corresponds to a video.

[0010] The determination module is used to determine the target video card that meets the playback conditions in each column of video cards according to the preset playback detection area, wherein the preset playback detection area corresponding to each column of video cards is different;

[0011] The playback module is used to play the videos corresponding to all the target video cards.

[0012] Thirdly, this disclosure provides a non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processing device, implements the steps of the method described in the first aspect.

[0013] Fourthly, this disclosure provides an electronic device, comprising:

[0014] A storage device on which computer programs are stored;

[0015] A processing device for executing the computer program in the storage device to implement the steps of the method in the first aspect.

[0016] The above technical solution enables the playback of at least two videos on a video stream page, improving screen utilization. Furthermore, since each column of video cards corresponds to a different preset playback detection area, this method is not limited by whether the video cards are arranged symmetrically, making it more universally applicable. Compared to configuring a specific video for playback in related technologies, determining the video to play based on the preset playback detection area is more flexible because it eliminates the need for configuring a specific video, ensuring that every video has a chance to play and improving the utilization of video resources.

[0038] Meanwhile, it is understood that the data involved in this technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition or use of the data) shall comply with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and related provisions.

[0039] With the development of multimedia technology, short videos, characterized by their concise content, rich themes, and rapid updates, have gained popularity across platforms and among users. Currently, short video playback software displays multiple videos and automatically plays a pre-configured video. For example, in some scenarios, the display shows two videos side-by-side, and either one can be played. In other scenarios, multiple videos are displayed, and several can be randomly selected and configured as playable videos, with frames from one of these playable videos played randomly or sequentially. In still other scenarios, each row on the display is configured to include a video and a static image, and the video in that row is played when it's its turn. However, these methods cannot play multiple videos simultaneously, resulting in low utilization of the screen's video playback capacity. Furthermore, unconfigured videos cannot be played, further reducing the overall utilization of video resources.

[0040] In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a video playback method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device, which improve screen utilization by playing at least two videos on a video stream page, and improve the utilization of video resources by using a preset playback detection area to ensure that each video has a chance to be played.

[0041] The technical solution disclosed herein can be applied to video playback products, as well as application platform products, etc., without specific limitations. Through the application platform, users can find the applications they need and download or use some applications without installation. The application platform can display relevant videos on the interface, such as displaying video previews related to the application on the application category interface, application list interface, application recommendation interface, or application download interface. By playing application-related videos, users can gain a more intuitive and quick understanding of the application before downloading or trying it out. Using the technical solution disclosed herein on the application platform, by improving screen utilization and video resource utilization, users can learn more about applications, helping them quickly find the applications they need, improving the efficiency of application selection, and thus enhancing the user experience.

[0042] The technical solution disclosed herein will be described in detail below.

[0043] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a video playback method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The video playback method includes:

[0044] S11. Display the video stream page. The video stream page displays multiple video cards in at least two columns, with each video card corresponding to a video.

[0045] S12. Based on the preset playback detection area, determine the target video card in each column of video cards that meets the playback conditions. The preset playback detection area is different for each column of video cards.

[0046] S13. Play the videos corresponding to all target video cards.

[0047] Among them, video stream (feed stream) refers to the information stream that continuously updates and presents video content to users.

[0048] It should be noted that the video in this embodiment includes multiple image frames, so the video in this embodiment can be a GIF animation, a short video, or a film or television video, etc.

[0049] In some implementations, on the application platform, each video card can correspond to an application. The video card can be used to display related videos of the corresponding application. The video corresponding to the video card can be a preview video, introduction video, operation video, or other related video content of the corresponding application.

[0050] In some implementations, on the application platform, clicking or selecting a video card can jump to the corresponding application trial interface or application download interface. Optionally, the video card is provided with function buttons, such as displaying "Download" or "Open" function buttons for the corresponding application in a specific area or position of the video card. The specific area or position of the video card can be the lower right corner, lower left corner, etc., and this disclosure is not limited thereto. Optionally, in response to detecting a preset operation on the function button, such as a click operation, the user can jump to the corresponding application trial interface or download page. Furthermore, in addition to setting function buttons on the video card, text information such as the corresponding application's rating and name can also be added to the video card.

[0051] For example, in response to loading or entering the video stream page, the video stream page is displayed. The video stream page displays multiple video cards in at least two columns. See also... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The diagram shown illustrates a video stream page. The video stream page displays multiple video cards in a two-column format. These two columns of video cards can be viewed as follows: Figure 2 The mutual symmetry shown can also be as follows: Figure 3 The asymmetry shown is a mutual misalignment. From Figure 3 It is evident that the two columns of video cards are misaligned because the right column contains shorter cards.

[0052] For example, each column of video cards corresponds to a preset playback detection area, and the preset playback detection areas for each column of video cards are different. For example, see [link to example]. Figure 4 The two dashed boxes shown represent the preset playback detection areas. The shape of the preset playback detection area can be... Figure 4 Besides the square shape shown, the shape can also be a circle, ellipse, triangle, etc., and this disclosure does not specifically limit it. In addition, the preset playback detection area can be located in the middle of the screen, and the preset playback detection area can be invisible to the user.

[0053] In some implementations, the video stream page displays multiple video cards in a two-column format, with each column corresponding to a different preset playback detection area. For each column, based on the preset playback detection area corresponding to that column, the target video cards that meet the playback conditions can be identified, and then the videos corresponding to all target video cards can be played.

[0054] In some embodiments, determining the target video card that meets the playback conditions in each column of video cards according to the preset playback detection area may be: for each column of video cards, determining the target video card whose overlapping area with the corresponding preset playback detection area is greater than a preset area threshold.

[0055] The preset area threshold can be either 60% or 65% of the video card's area. For example, for video card a1 in column A, determine if the overlapping area between video card a1 and its corresponding preset playback detection area is greater than 60% of video card a1's area. If so, video card a1 is identified as the target video card. If not, determine if video card a2 is the target video card. This process is repeated until the target video card in column A is identified.

[0056] In some embodiments, to improve the efficiency of determining target video cards, determining target video cards whose overlapping area with the corresponding preset playback detection area is greater than a preset area threshold can be achieved by: determining candidate video cards that overlap with the corresponding preset playback detection area, and determining the overlapping area of ​​each candidate video card with the corresponding preset playback detection area. Candidate video cards with overlapping areas greater than the preset area threshold are then determined as target video cards.

[0057] For example, for the video cards in column A, candidate video cards with overlapping areas with the corresponding preset playback detection areas are identified. Assuming the candidate video cards are video card a7 and video card a8, the overlapping areas of candidate video cards a7 and a8 with their corresponding preset playback detection areas are further determined, and candidate video cards with overlapping areas greater than a preset area threshold are identified as target video cards.

[0058] In some embodiments, determining the target video card that meets the playback conditions in each column of video cards according to the preset playback detection area can be: for each column of video cards, determining the target video card whose center point is located within the corresponding preset playback detection area.

[0059] For example, for the video cards in column A, if it is determined that the center point of video card a8 is located within the corresponding preset playback detection area, then video card a8 can be identified as the target video card.

[0060] In some embodiments, playing the videos corresponding to all target video cards can be done by simultaneously playing the videos corresponding to the target video cards in each column of video cards.

[0061] For example, assuming each column of video cards includes a target video card, the videos corresponding to the target video cards in each column can be played simultaneously.

[0062] See Figure 5 In column A, video cards a8 and a9 overlap with their corresponding preset playback detection areas. The overlap area between video card a8 and its corresponding preset playback detection area is greater than 60% of video card a8's area, while the overlap area between video card a9 and its corresponding preset playback detection area is less than 60% of video card a9's area. Therefore, video card a8 is the target video card in column A. Furthermore, video card b in column B... 10 and b 11 It overlaps with the corresponding preset playback detection area, where video card b 10 The overlapping area with the corresponding preset playback detection area is smaller than that of video card b. 10 60% of the area, video card b 11 The overlapping area with the corresponding preset playback detection area is greater than that of video card b. 11 60% of the area. Therefore, video card b 11 This refers to the target video card in column B of the video cards. Figure 5 As shown, video card a8 and video card b 11 The corresponding videos are all played on the screen.

[0063] It should be noted here that, Figure 5 In the middle, video card a8 and video card b are playing simultaneously on the screen. 11 When playing the corresponding video, the audio can be turned off while the video image frames are played, and video cards a8 and b... 11 The playback progress of the corresponding videos can be different. In addition, the video card can display a brief description of the corresponding video, and the video corresponding to the video card will play within the display area of ​​the video card.

[0064] See Figure 6 In column A, video cards a8 and a9 overlap with their corresponding preset playback detection areas. The overlap area (x) of video card a8 is less than 60% of the area of ​​video card a8, while the overlap area of ​​video card a9 is greater than 60% of the area of ​​video card a9. Therefore, video card a9 is the target video card in column A. Similarly, in column B, video cards b8 and b9 overlap with their corresponding preset playback detection areas. The overlap area of ​​video card b8 is less than 60% of the area of ​​video card b8, while the overlap area of ​​video card b9 is greater than 60% of the area of ​​video card b9. Therefore, video card b9 is the target video card in column B. Figure 6As shown, the videos corresponding to video card a9 and video card b9 are both playing on the screen.

[0065] In some embodiments, playing the videos corresponding to all target video cards can be: if there are multiple target video cards in any column of video cards, play the videos corresponding to the multiple target video cards in that column of video cards in sequence according to a preset priority.

[0066] For example, see Figure 7 In column A, video cards a8 and a9 overlap with their corresponding preset playback detection areas. The overlap area between video card a8 and its corresponding preset playback detection area is less than 60% of video card a8's area, while the overlap area between video card a9 and its corresponding preset playback detection area is greater than 60% of video card a9's area. Therefore, video card a9 is the target video card in column A. Furthermore, video card b in column B... 10 and b 11 It overlaps with the corresponding preset playback detection area, where video card b 10 The overlapping area with the corresponding preset playback detection area is greater than that of video card b. 10 60% of the area, video card b 11 The overlapping area with the corresponding preset playback detection area is greater than that of video card b. 11 60% of the area. Therefore, video card b 10 and video card b 11 All of these are target video cards in column B. In this case, for the video cards in column B, the video cards can be played sequentially according to a preset priority. 10 and video card b 11 The corresponding video. Let's assume video card b. 10 It has a higher priority than video card b. 11 If the priority is set, then while the video corresponding to video card a9 is playing on the screen, video card b will play on the screen first. 10 The corresponding video will then play video card b. 11 The corresponding video.

[0067] In some implementations, the preset priority is determined based on at least one of the following: the order in which each target video card enters the preset playback detection area; the display position of each target video card; the size of the overlap area between each target video card and the preset playback detection area; and the sliding direction of the video stream page on the screen.

[0068] See below. Figure 7 This describes the priority among multiple target video cards.

[0069] One example is video card b. 10 Compared to video card b 11 First, enter the preset playback detection area to determine video card b. 10 It has a higher priority than video card b. 11 Priority.

[0070] Another example is on the screen, according to video card b 10 Displayed on video card b 11 Above, you can identify video card b. 10 It has a higher priority than video card b. 11 Priority.

[0071] Another example, according to video card b 10 The overlapping area with the preset playback detection area is smaller than video card b. 11 The overlap area with the preset playback detection area can be used to determine the video card b. 10 It has a higher priority than video card b. 11 Priority.

[0072] Another example is that, based on the upward scrolling direction of the video stream page on the screen, video card b can be identified. 10 It has a higher priority than video card b. 11 Priority.

[0073] In some embodiments, determining the target video card that meets the playback conditions in each column of video cards according to a preset playback detection area can be: in response to a sliding operation on the video stream page, determining the target video card that meets the playback conditions in each column of video cards according to a preset playback detection area.

[0074] For example, the triggering condition for determining the target video card that meets the playback conditions in each column of video cards according to the preset playback detection area could be entering the video stream page, displaying / loading the video stream page, swiping the video stream page, or the video stream page changing from swiping to being still.

[0075] In some embodiments, the video playback method may further include: responding to a user's swipe operation, re-determining whether the target video card meets the playback conditions; if the target video card does not meet the playback conditions, stopping playback of the video corresponding to the target video card; if the target video card meets the playback conditions, continuing playback of the video corresponding to the target video card. By swiping and observing video playback and playback stoppage, users can indirectly perceive the approximate location of the preset playback detection area, as well as the approximate triggering conditions for video playback and playback stoppage. Thus, users can independently select the video card they want to preview and play by swiping. Therefore, this method of determining the target video card based on the preset playback detection area to play the corresponding video can achieve the purpose of users independently browsing video content and improve the user experience.

[0076] The above technical solution enables the playback of at least two videos on a video stream page, improving screen utilization. Furthermore, since each column of video cards corresponds to a different preset playback detection area, this method is not limited by whether the video cards are arranged symmetrically, making it more universally applicable. Compared to configuring a specific video for playback in related technologies, determining the video to play based on the preset playback detection area is more flexible because it eliminates the need for configuring a specific video, ensuring that every video has a chance to play and improving the utilization of video resources.

[0077] Based on the same concept, this disclosure also provides a video playback device, which can be part or all of an electronic device through software, hardware, or a combination of both. (See also...) Figure 8 The data processing device 800 includes:

[0078] The display module 810 is used to display a video stream page, wherein the video stream page displays multiple video cards in at least two columns, and each video card corresponds to a video.

[0079] The determining module 820 is used to determine the target video card that meets the playback conditions in each column of video cards according to the preset playback detection area, wherein the preset playback detection area corresponding to each column of video cards is different;

[0080] The playback module 830 is used to play the videos corresponding to all the target video cards.

[0081] This device allows for the playback of at least two videos on a video streaming page, improving screen utilization and providing users with more comprehensive video content for selection. Furthermore, by determining the target video card based on a preset playback detection area and playing the corresponding video, users can autonomously browse video content, enhancing the user experience. In addition, compared to configuring a specific video for playback in related technologies, determining the playback video based on the preset playback detection area is more flexible because it eliminates the need for configuration, ensuring that every video has a chance to play and improving the utilization of video resources.

[0082] Optionally, the determining module 820 includes:

[0083] The first determining submodule is used to determine, for each column of video cards, the target video card whose overlapping area with the corresponding preset playback detection area is greater than a preset area threshold.

[0084] Optionally, the first determining submodule is configured to:

[0085] Identify candidate video cards that overlap with the corresponding preset playback detection area, and determine the overlap area between each candidate video card and the corresponding preset playback detection area;

[0086] The candidate video cards whose overlapping area is greater than the preset area threshold are identified as the target video cards.

[0087] Optionally, the determining module 820 includes:

[0088] The second determining submodule is used to determine, for each column of video cards, the target video card whose center point is located within the corresponding preset playback detection area.

[0089] Optionally, the playback module 830 includes:

[0090] The first playback module is used to simultaneously play the video corresponding to the target video card in each column of video cards.

[0091] Playing the videos corresponding to all the target video cards includes:

[0092] The second playback module is used to, when there are multiple target video cards in any column of video cards, sequentially play the videos corresponding to the multiple target video cards in that column of video cards according to a preset priority.

[0093] Optionally, the preset priority is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0094] The order in which each of the target video cards enters the preset playback detection area;

[0095] The display position of each of the target video cards;

[0096] The size of the overlapping area between each target video card and the preset playback detection area;

[0097] The direction in which the video stream page slides on the screen.

[0098] Optionally, the determining module 820 is configured to, in response to a sliding operation on the video stream page, determine the target video card that meets the playback conditions in each column of video cards according to the preset playback detection area.

[0099] Regarding the apparatus in the above embodiments, the specific manner in which each module performs its operation has been described in detail in the embodiments related to the method, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0100] Based on the same concept, this disclosure also provides a non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processing device, implements the steps of any of the above video playback methods.
