Each column of video thumbnails may include thumbnails of multiple categories and display corresponding category labels. Alternatively, each row of video thumbnails may include thumbnails of multiple categories and display corresponding category labels.

[0095] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the target video application displays a thumbnail in its video display interface. Figure 11 abbreviation Figure 12 abbreviation Figure 13 abbreviation Figure 21 Thumbnails 22, 23, 31, 32, 33, 41, 42, 43, tag 1, tag 2, tag 3, and tag 4, wherein the above thumbnails Figure 11 abbreviation Figure 12 abbreviation Figure 13 Multiple categories (abbreviations) correspond to label 1 Figure 11 abbreviation Figure 12 For the same category, abbreviation Figure 13 (These are the same category as label 1, making a total of 2 categories), displayed in the first column, in abbreviated form. Figure 21 Thumbnail 22 and thumbnail 23 correspond to multiple categories (thumbnail) with label 2. Figure 21 Thumbnails 22 and 23 belong to the same category, but are different from tag 1 (a total of 2 categories), and are displayed in the second column. Thumbnails 31, 32, and 33 correspond to multiple categories with tag 3 (thumbnails 31, 32, and 33 are all different from tag 1, a total of 4 categories), and are displayed in the third column. Thumbnails 41, 42, and 43 correspond to multiple categories with tag 4 (thumbnails 41 belong to one category, thumbnails 32 and 33 belong to another category, and tag 1 belongs to a third category that is different from the previous two categories, a total of 3 categories), and are displayed in the fourth column. Thus, by using video thumbnails and tags corresponding to one category in each column, the videos to be selected for playback can be presented to the user more intuitively.

[0096] It should be noted that this may include, but is not limited to, arranging each column or row according to the same number of categories and distribution method, that is, the number of categories corresponding to each column or row is the same, or arranging each column or row according to different distribution methods, that is, the number of categories corresponding to each column or row is different.

[0097] As an alternative approach, the method also includes:

[0098] In response to a third interactive operation obtained in the video display interface, the display interface is switched from displaying the first information matrix to playing the second video of the target category, wherein the third interactive operation is used to select a target category label in at least one category label, and the target category label is the category label of the target category.

[0099] Optionally, in this embodiment, the aforementioned third interactive operation may include, but is not limited to, interactive operations performed on a preset interactive object such as clicking, long pressing, releasing, and double-tapping, or voice interaction, VR interaction, AR interaction, gesture interaction, etc., and may also include, but is not limited to, combinations of the above. The aforementioned third interactive operation may be the same as the first interactive operation or the second interactive operation, or it may be different from the aforementioned second interactive operation and the first interactive operation.

[0100] For example, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of another optional video playback method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the target video application displays a set of video thumbnails and at least one category label in its video display screen. The set of video thumbnails may include, but is not limited to, thumbnails. Figure 1 abbreviation Figure 2 abbreviation Figure 3 And tag 1, each thumbnail or tag is associated with one or a class of videos, used to trigger playback after selection. In response to the third interactive operation performed on tag 1, the video corresponding to tag 1 (corresponding to the second video mentioned above) is selected and played.

[0101] The above is merely an example, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitations.

[0102] As an alternative approach, the method also includes:

[0103] When playing the second video in the video display interface, in response to the obtained video switching operation, the video display interface switches from playing the second video to playing the third video of the target category. The video switching operation is used to indicate switching the currently playing video in the video display interface.

[0104] Optionally, in this embodiment, when playing the second video, a video switching operation can be obtained to switch the second video to the third video of the target category. The video switching operation may include, but is not limited to, interactive operations performed on a preset interactive object such as clicking, long pressing, releasing, double-tapping, or voice interaction, VR interaction, AR interaction, gesture interaction, etc., and may also include, but is not limited to, a combination of the above.

[0105] For example, taking the video switching operation as an upward swipe operation, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of another optional video playback method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 9 As shown, when the second video is playing in the video display interface, and an upward swipe operation is detected in the video display interface, the second video is switched to the third video.

[0106] For example, taking the video switching operation as shaking the terminal as an example, when the second video is playing in the video display interface, if the operation of shaking the terminal is detected, the second video will be switched to the third video.

[0107] As an optional solution, switching from playing the first video to displaying the first information matrix in the video display interface includes:

[0108] A set of video thumbnails is displayed in the video display interface. Each video thumbnail in the set is either a thumbnail of the video cover or a thumbnail of a frame from a video.

[0109] Optionally, in this embodiment, the video thumbnail may include, but is not limited to, a video cover thumbnail pre-configured for the video, or a thumbnail of a frame in the video. The thumbnail may also be a dynamic image, for example, a 2-3 second clip of a highlight scene from the video may be used as the video thumbnail.

[0110] As an alternative approach, the method also includes:

[0111] When the first information matrix is ​​displayed in the video display interface, in response to the obtained sliding operation, the first information matrix displayed in the video display interface is switched to the second information matrix. The sliding operation is used to switch the information matrix displayed in the video display interface. The first information matrix and the second information matrix may have some identical parts or both different parts. The video thumbnails and category labels in the second information matrix are used to trigger the playback of a video when selected; or...

[0112] When the first information matrix is ​​displayed in the video display interface, in response to the received zoom-out gesture, the first information matrix displayed in the video display interface is switched to a third information matrix. The number of video thumbnails in the third information matrix is ​​greater than the number of video thumbnails in the first information matrix. Some video thumbnails in the third information matrix are obtained by scaling down the video thumbnails in the first information matrix; or

[0113] When a set of video thumbnails is displayed in the video display interface, in response to the obtained zoom-in gesture operation, the first information matrix displayed in the video display interface is switched to the fourth information matrix. The number of video thumbnails in the fourth information matrix is ​​less than the number of the first information matrix. The video thumbnails in the fourth information matrix are obtained by zooming in on some of the video thumbnails in the first information matrix.

[0114] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first information matrix may be switched to the second information matrix by a sliding operation, including but not limited to the first information matrix including the aforementioned set of video thumbnails, and the second, third, and fourth information matrices including another set of video thumbnails that are different from the aforementioned set of video thumbnails. The set of video thumbnails included in the first information matrix and the other set of video thumbnails included in the second information matrix may be different sets of video thumbnails under the same category, or they may be different sets of video thumbnails corresponding to different categories. The aforementioned set of video thumbnails and the other set of video thumbnails may be partially the same or completely different.

[0115] For example, Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of another optional video playback method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 10 As shown, taking a rightward swipe as an example, when a set of thumbnails is displayed in the video display interface (thumbnail...), Figure 1 abbreviation Figure 2 abbreviation Figure 3 When a group of video thumbnails is created, in response to a right swipe, the group of video thumbnails is switched to another group of video thumbnails. Figure 4 abbreviation Figure 5 abbreviation Figure 6 (Another set of thumbnails).

[0116] Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned sliding operation may include, but is not limited to, sliding up, sliding down, sliding left, sliding right, or sliding to the upper left, sliding to the upper right, or sliding in any direction.

[0117] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fact that one set of video thumbnails is partially the same as another set of video thumbnails may include, but is not limited to, video thumbnails that are partially the same as determined by the sliding direction.

[0118] For example, Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of another optional video playback method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 11 As shown, taking a rightward swipe as an example, when a set of thumbnails is displayed in the video display interface (thumbnail...), Figure 1 abbreviation Figure 2 abbreviation Figure 3 When a group of video thumbnails is created, in response to a right swipe, the group of video thumbnails is switched to another group of video thumbnails. Figure 1 abbreviation Figure 2 abbreviation Figure 3 abbreviation Figure 4 abbreviation Figure 5 and abbreviation Figure 6 (Another set of thumbnails).

[0119] Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned shrinking gesture may include, but is not limited to, two fingers tilting and approaching each other. When a shrinking trajectory that matches the response angle (excluding horizontal and vertical angles) is detected, it is determined that the above-mentioned shrinking gesture has been obtained. At this time, in response to the obtained shrinking gesture operation, a set of video thumbnails displayed in the video display interface is switched to another set of video thumbnails.

[0120] It should be noted that the number of video thumbnails in the third information matrix being greater than the number of video thumbnails in the first information matrix may include, but is not limited to, the number of video thumbnails in another set of video thumbnails in the third information matrix being greater than the number of video thumbnails in one set of video thumbnails in the first information matrix. Some of the video thumbnails in the other set of video thumbnails are obtained by reducing the size of the video thumbnails in the first set of video thumbnails. That is, the number of thumbnails in the other set of video thumbnails is greater than the number of thumbnails in the first set of video thumbnails. However, the thumbnail size of the other set of video thumbnails is smaller than the thumbnail size of the first set of video thumbnails.

[0121] Furthermore, the number of category tags in the third information matrix may be greater than the number of category tags in the first information matrix. In other words, the number of video thumbnails and category tags in the third information matrix is ​​greater than the number of video thumbnails and category tags in the first information matrix, or the number of either video thumbnails or category tags in the third information matrix is ​​greater than the corresponding number in the first information matrix. For example, if the first information matrix includes 2 videos and 2 tags, the third information matrix may include, but is not limited to, 3 videos and 2 tags, or 2 videos and 3 tags, or 3 videos and 3 tags.

[0122] For example, Figure 12This is a schematic diagram of another optional video playback method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 12 As shown, when the video display interface displays images with thumbnails... Figure 1 abbreviation Figure 2 abbreviation Figure 3 When the above set of thumbnails is formed, in response to the obtained zoom-out gesture operation, the set of video thumbnails is switched to another set of thumbnails (thumbnail). Figure 1 abbreviation Figure 2 abbreviation Figure 3 abbreviation Figure 4 abbreviation Figure 5 abbreviation Figure 6 abbreviation Figure 7 and abbreviation Figure 8 (Another set of thumbnails).

[0123] When a set of video thumbnails is displayed in the video display interface, in response to the obtained zoom-in gesture operation, the set of video thumbnails displayed in the video display interface is switched to another set of video thumbnails. The number of video thumbnails in the other set of video thumbnails is less than the number of video thumbnails in the first set of video thumbnails. The video thumbnails in the other set of video thumbnails are obtained by zooming in on some of the video thumbnails in the first set of video thumbnails. At this time, the number of video thumbnails in the other set of video thumbnails is greater than the number of video thumbnails in the first set of video thumbnails.

[0124] Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned magnification gesture may include, but is not limited to, two fingers tilted apart. When an expansion trajectory that matches the response angle (excluding horizontal and vertical angles) is detected, it is determined that the above-mentioned magnification gesture has been obtained. At this time, in response to the obtained magnification gesture operation, a set of video thumbnails displayed in the video display interface is switched to another set of video thumbnails.

[0125] It should be noted that the number of video thumbnails in the fourth information matrix being less than the number of video thumbnails in the first information matrix may include, but is not limited to, the number of video thumbnails in another set of video thumbnails in the fourth information matrix being less than the number of video thumbnails in one set of video thumbnails in the first information matrix. Some of the video thumbnails in the other set of video thumbnails are obtained by reducing the video thumbnails in the first set of video thumbnails. That is, the number of thumbnails in the other set of video thumbnails is less than the number of thumbnails in the first set of video thumbnails. However, the thumbnail size of the other set of video thumbnails is smaller than the thumbnail size of the first set of video thumbnails.

[0126] Furthermore, the number of category tags in the fourth information matrix may be less than the number of category tags in the first information matrix. In other words, the number of video thumbnails and category tags in the fourth information matrix may both be less than the number of video thumbnails and category tags in the first information matrix, or the number of either video thumbnails or category tags in the fourth information matrix may be less than the corresponding number in the first information matrix. For example, if the first information matrix includes two videos and two tags, the fourth information matrix may include, but is not limited to, one video and two tags, or two videos and one tag, or one video and one tag.

[0127] For example, Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of another optional video playback method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 13 As shown, when the video display interface displays images with thumbnails... Figure 1 abbreviation Figure 2 abbreviation Figure 3 abbreviation Figure 4 abbreviation Figure 5 abbreviation Figure 6 abbreviation Figure 7 and abbreviation Figure 8 When the above set of thumbnails is generated, in response to the acquired zoom-in gesture operation, the set of video thumbnails is switched to another set of thumbnails (thumbnails). Figure 1 abbreviation Figure 2 abbreviation Figure 3 (Another set of thumbnails).

[0128] The above is merely an example, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitations.

[0129] As an optional approach, in response to the first interactive operation obtained on the video display interface, after switching from playing the first video to displaying the first information matrix on the video display interface, the method further includes:

[0130] In the video display interface, obtain the fourth interactive operation performed on the target video thumbnail in the first information matrix, wherein the fourth interactive operation is used to trigger a video search based on the target video thumbnail;

[0131] In response to the fourth interactive operation, a fifth information matrix is ​​displayed in the video display interface. Each video thumbnail in the fifth information matrix is ​​used to trigger the playback of a video when it is selected. The video corresponding to each video thumbnail in the fifth information matrix is ​​a video searched based on the target video thumbnail.

[0132] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fourth interactive operation may include, but is not limited to, interactive operations performed on a preset interactive object such as clicking, long pressing, releasing, and double-tapping, or voice interaction, VR interaction, AR interaction, gesture interaction, etc., and may also include, but is not limited to, combinations of the above. The fourth interactive operation may be the same as, or the second or third interactive operation, or may be different from, or may be different from, the third, second, and first interactive operations.

[0133] Optionally, in this embodiment, the video corresponding to each video thumbnail in the fifth information matrix is ​​a video searched based on the target video thumbnail, and may also include, but is not limited to, the video corresponding to each category tag in the fifth information matrix being the category tag corresponding to the video searched based on the target video thumbnail.

[0134] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target video thumbnail may include, but is not limited to, thumbnails of similar videos that the user wants to watch from a set of video thumbnails. For example, when the user wants to watch sports-related videos, they can select the target video thumbnail related to sports from the set of video thumbnails and perform an association search based on the video corresponding to the target video thumbnail through the fourth interactive operation to obtain the other set of video thumbnails.

[0135] It should be noted that the videos corresponding to the thumbnails in the other set of video thumbnails mentioned above are all videos that are related to the target video thumbnail in the same dimension or multiple dimensions.

[0136] Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned video search based on the target video thumbnail may include, but is not limited to, determining multiple category tags of the target video thumbnail after obtaining the fourth interactive operation. For example, taking a fitness video of a celebrity as an example, the tags of the person appearing in the fitness video (celebrity) can be obtained, as well as the tags corresponding to the fitness field and the scene tags associated with the fitness video (e.g., office, home). By searching for the above tags, another set of video thumbnails is generated based on the thumbnails of the videos with high matching degree among the multiple videos obtained by retrieval, and then displayed.

[0137] For example, Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of another optional video playback method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 14 As shown, the target video application displays a set of video thumbnails in its video display screen. These video thumbnails may include, but are not limited to, thumbnails. Figure 1 abbreviation Figure 2 abbreviation Figure 3 Each thumbnail or tag is associated with one or more videos, used to trigger playback when selected, in response to the thumbnail. Figure 1 The fourth interactive operation described above (corresponding to the aforementioned target video thumbnail) is performed based on the thumbnail. Figure 1 Searching for videos displays another set of video thumbnails (including thumbnails). Figure 4 abbreviation Figure 5 and abbreviation Figure 6 Among them, abbreviation Figure 4 abbreviation Figure 5 and abbreviation Figure 6 It is based on abbreviation Figure 1 (Thumbnail image obtained from the search).

[0138] The above is merely an example, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitations.

[0139] In this embodiment, a fourth interactive operation is performed on a target video thumbnail from a set of video thumbnails in the video display interface. In response to the fourth interactive operation, another set of video thumbnails is displayed in the video display interface. Through the interactive behavior of the fourth interactive operation, the information of the target video thumbnail can be parsed, and a purposeful search can be performed based on the above information. This allows users to quickly and directly find relevant video content, expand user interests, bring users a brand-new video exploration and interactive consumption experience, improve the efficiency of users watching videos, and increase the conversion rate and consumption results of videos.

[0140] As an optional approach, the fourth interactive operation performed on the target video thumbnail in the first information matrix in the video display interface includes:

[0141] The drag operation performed on the target video thumbnail is obtained in the video display interface. The drag operation is used to drag the target video thumbnail to the target search area.

[0142] Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned drag operation may include, but is not limited to, pressing and holding the target video thumbnail, moving it to the target search area, and then releasing the target video thumbnail to trigger a video search based on the target video thumbnail.

[0143] For example, Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of another optional video playback method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 15 As shown, the target video application displays a set of video thumbnails in its video display screen. These video thumbnails may include, but are not limited to, thumbnails. Figure 1 abbreviation Figure 2 abbreviation Figure 3 Each thumbnail or tag is associated with one or more videos, used to trigger playback when selected, in response to the thumbnail. Figure 1The drag operation (corresponding to the aforementioned target video thumbnail) involves dragging the target video thumbnail to the target search area to determine the search criteria based on the thumbnail. Figure 1 Searching for videos displays another set of video thumbnails (including thumbnails). Figure 4 abbreviation Figure 5 and abbreviation Figure 6 Among them, abbreviation Figure 4 abbreviation Figure 5 and abbreviation Figure 6 It is based on abbreviation Figure 1 (Thumbnail image obtained from the search).

[0144] In this embodiment, users can directly drag and drop the videos they want to search for into the search area. When they release the target video thumbnail, a quick search for the target video thumbnail will be initiated.

[0145] As an alternative, in response to the fourth interactive operation, a fifth information matrix is ​​displayed in the video display interface, including:

[0146] In response to the fourth interactive operation, a first set of video thumbnails is displayed in the video display interface, wherein the first set of video thumbnails includes thumbnails of videos searched in the same dimension related to the target video thumbnail; or

[0147] In response to the fourth interactive operation, a second set of video thumbnails is displayed in the video display interface, wherein the second set of video thumbnails includes thumbnails of videos searched under multiple dimensions related to the target video thumbnail.

[0148] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first set of video thumbnails, which includes thumbnails of videos searched under the same dimension as the target video thumbnail, can be understood as each video thumbnail in the first set of video thumbnails belonging to the same dimension (corresponding to the aforementioned level) as the target video thumbnail. For example, when the category tag corresponding to the target video thumbnail is "game", the video thumbnails included in the first set of video thumbnails may correspond to video thumbnails of the same dimension, such as "movie" or "music".

[0149] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second set of video thumbnails, which includes video thumbnails searched under multiple dimensions related to the target video thumbnail, can be understood as video thumbnails with multiple dimensions (corresponding to the aforementioned levels) in the second set of video thumbnails. Furthermore, some video thumbnails in the second set of video thumbnails are allowed to have the same dimensions as the target video thumbnail. For example, when the category tag corresponding to the target video thumbnail is "game," the video thumbnails included in the second set of video thumbnails can have category tags such as MOBA games, a specific game, etc., and may also include, but are not limited to, video thumbnails with corresponding category tags such as "movie," "music," etc. That is, thumbnails with the same dimensions are allowed, but multiple thumbnails with different dimensions must be included.

[0150] As an optional solution, in response to a first interactive operation received on the video display interface, the video display interface switches from playing a first video to displaying a first information matrix, including:

[0151] In response to a zoom-out or zoom-in gesture received on the video display interface, the video display interface switches from playing the first video to displaying the first information matrix; or

[0152] In response to a single-click or double-click operation received on the video display interface, the video display interface switches from playing the first video to displaying the first information matrix.

[0153] Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned shrinking gesture may include, but is not limited to, two fingers tilting and approaching each other. When a shrinking trajectory that matches the response angle (excluding horizontal and vertical angles) is detected, it is determined that the above-mentioned shrinking gesture has been obtained. At this time, in response to the obtained shrinking gesture operation, the playback of the first video is switched to the display of a set of video thumbnails.

[0154] Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned magnification gesture may include, but is not limited to, two fingers tilted apart. When an expansion trajectory that matches the response angle (excluding horizontal and vertical angles) is detected, it is determined that the above-mentioned magnification gesture has been obtained. At this time, in response to the obtained magnification gesture operation, the playback of the first video is switched to the display of a set of video thumbnails.

[0155] Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned single-click and double-click operations may be implemented by means of touch devices, fingers, etc.

[0156] It should be noted that the above-mentioned single-click and double-click operations may include, but are not limited to, knuckle-click and knuckle-double-click operations. The above-mentioned response to the knuckle-click or knuckle-double-click operation obtained on the video display interface, switching from playing the first video to displaying a set of video thumbnails in the video display interface may include, but is not limited to, detecting the single-click or double-click operation of the knuckle, and switching from playing the first video to displaying a set of video thumbnails in response to the obtained single-click or double-click operation of the knuckle.

[0157] For example, Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram of another optional video playback method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 16 As shown, by tapping or double-tapping the screen with your knuckles, you can switch from playing the first video to displaying a set of video thumbnails.

[0158] As an optional solution, in response to a first interactive operation received on the video display interface, the video display interface switches from playing a first video to displaying a first information matrix, including:

[0159] In response to a first interactive operation obtained on the video display interface, a target video thumbnail set and a target category tag set are obtained, wherein the target video thumbnail set includes a set of video thumbnails and the target category tag set includes at least one category tag;

[0160] Given that the target video thumbnail set and the target category tag set are arranged into an information matrix, a first information matrix is ​​determined in the information matrix according to the display size of the video display interface, wherein at least a portion of each video thumbnail in the first information matrix is ​​displayed in the video display interface, and at least a portion of each category tag in the first information matrix is ​​displayed in the video display interface.

[0161] The first information matrix is ​​displayed in the video display interface.

[0162] Optionally, in this embodiment, after the first interactive operation is obtained, a request message to obtain a set of target video thumbnails can be sent to the server. The server returns the set of target video thumbnails and arranges them into a video thumbnail matrix. According to the display size of the video display interface, a set of video thumbnails is selected from the video thumbnail matrix.

[0163] The following specific examples will further explain this embodiment:

[0164] S1, when a user opens the video browser application, a full-screen video of weather or trending content appears immediately (corresponding to the first video mentioned above), and plays automatically, creating an intuitive perception for the user that the video browser is a platform that allows them to browse videos.

[0165] S2: Users can swipe up to view a short video or mini-video under that specific category on one screen; users can switch between specific categories by swiping horizontally left or right on the phone screen.

[0166] S3: For first-time users, a navigation interaction guide appears after 3 seconds: a two-finger pinch-to-release gesture and a video matrix animation to guide the playback. This will not appear again afterward.

[0167] S4, if the user makes a corresponding gesture on the phone screen (corresponding to the first interactive operation mentioned above), the user enters the video matrix after passing through the corresponding state. At this time, the text title of each video disappears, and a dynamic cover thumbnail of the video appears (hereinafter referred to as dynamic cover). The short video closest to the center of each column displays a refined category dynamic label that highlights the video's attributes, replacing the traditional text navigation bar. The short videos maintain the dynamic cover, and clicking the category dynamic label (corresponding to the second interactive operation mentioned above) will enter the category restoration of that column for one full-screen consumption.

[0168] S5 allows users to smoothly scroll the video cover matrix in all directions (up, down, left, right) depending on the zoom level. Users can zoom in and out of the matrix with two fingers, and get what they see is what they get. Clicking on any video cover that interests users will enter the full-screen immersive consumption overlay for that video, and continue consuming the video in a sequential manner, one screen at a time.

[0169] In addition to clicking on a video of interest, the S6 also allows users to press and hold a video and drag it into the search box. When the edge of the video approaches the search box, the edge of the search box will be highlighted, indicating that the user can release the video. The search box can receive the video and explore surrounding videos from different angles and directions based on the video, allowing users to navigate and consume content.

[0170] This application utilizes a tagging algorithm to finely categorize and display video content, and employs gesture recognition to optimize the retrieval and sorting of video content, thereby providing users with a new interactive way to navigate video content. This approach can intuitively explore user interests and provide more natural navigation.

[0171] The following optional embodiments may also be included, but are not limited to:

[0172] (1) Sub-categories present users with refined vertical navigation and 20 tertiary tags arranged in a loop. If the user does not have enough tertiary tags, the platform's hottest dramas and other advantageous video categories are inserted after the third and fifth categories and tag switching is completed.

[0173] (2) Figure 17 This is a schematic diagram of another optional video playback method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 17As shown, the gesture switches to video matrix navigation. In video playback mode, a gesture response area layer is added. When the user's two fingers tilt and approach each other, conforming to the convergence trajectory of the response angle (excluding horizontal and vertical angles), the user can enter the video dynamic cover preparation layer. This layer requests more relevant tags and video content data from the server, displaying multiple categories of video covers on the user's end. At most, one short video or mini-video dynamic cover preview can be played in the same column on each screen at the same time. At this time, the gesture sensor detects a single finger swipe and executes to fill in the short video content in the screen space in the opposite direction of the swipe.

[0174] (3) Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram of another optional video playback method according to an embodiment of this application. The drag-and-drop navigation implementation process is as follows: Figure 18 As shown, when a finger is pressed and held on a video for more than half a second, the video coordinates are marked, and a movable video cover image appears. Dragging it upwards records the video's trajectory. When the cover image enters the upper 30% of the phone screen, the search box border is highlighted, indicating that the search box application layer has responded. Simultaneously, video-related data is sent to the server. When the finger leaves the screen, a page refresh is executed. The server parses and obtains the video title keywords and secondary video tags, associates and overlays them, uses the overlaid tags as a refined category to retrieve the video, and sends the video cover image to the client to display three related categories in three columns. Dragging the original video's key tags displays them within the search box as navigation.

[0175] This application firstly reduces the cognitive and learning costs for users of new platforms: upon opening the video browser application, users can immediately recognize the platform's ability to consume videos. Secondly, the clear vertical column organization of content categories is more user-friendly and efficient, while the horizontal inclusion of finely categorized videos gives users a unique sense of control over their video content consumption through a video matrix. The dynamic tag design and innovative interactive navigation methods are more in line with the habits of younger users, increasing their willingness and preference to consume, and enhancing user stickiness. Furthermore, by dragging and dropping videos into the search box, users can extract hidden keyword information within the videos, navigating to relevant categories of video content, expanding their interests, and providing a brand-new video exploration and interactive consumption experience.

[0176] It is understood that in the specific implementation of this application, data related to user information, user interest videos, etc. are involved. When the above embodiments of this application are applied to specific products or technologies, user permission or consent is required, and the collection, use and processing of related data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of the relevant countries and regions.

[0177] It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, the foregoing method embodiments are all described as a series of actions. However, those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not limited to the described order of actions, as some steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously according to this application.
