[0081] In some embodiments, the target information structure further includes an identifier of the media asset version, and the controller 250 of the server 200 is further configured to: receive an acquisition request of a first media asset version, the acquisition request of the first media asset version carrying a language corresponding to the first media asset version; acquire an identifier corresponding to the first media asset version based on the language of the first media asset version; and acquire the first media asset according to the identifier corresponding to the first media asset and send the first media asset to the display device.

[0082] In some embodiments, before constructing the target information structure according to a language version corresponding to each sub-media asset in a plurality of sub-media assets, the controller 250 of the server 200 is further configured to: when the plurality of media asset versions of the target media asset are provided by different partners, acquire the plurality of media asset versions to construct the target information structure.

[0083] In some embodiments, the controller 250 of the display device 200 is configured to: generate a media asset version acquisition request and send the media asset version acquisition request to the server; receive a target information structure sent by the server; the target information structure includes each media asset version corresponding to a target media asset and a language corresponding to each media asset version; acquire the language corresponding to each media asset version based on the target information structure, and display in a preset interface.

[0084] In some embodiments, the controller 250 of the display device 200 is further configured to construct a touch button corresponding to each language respectively based on the language corresponding to each media version; the touch button is used to switch the language version of the target media.

[0085] In some embodiments, the controller 250 of the display device 200 is further configured to, in response to the user triggering the first touch button, generate a first media version acquisition request carrying the identification of the first media version; send the first media version acquisition request to the server to request the first media version corresponding to the first touch button; and receive and render the first media.

[0086] In some embodiments, the controller 250 of the display device 200 is further configured to, in response to the user triggering the first touch button, acquire the identification of the first media version from the target information structure according to the language corresponding to the first touch button; and generate the first media version acquisition request based on the identification of the first media version.

[0087] To further illustrate the present solution, the following will be described in an exemplary manner combined with Figure 6 It should be understood that, Figure 6 the steps involved in the above description can include more steps or fewer steps, and the order between the steps can be different, as long as the video language switching method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be implemented, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0088] Figure 6 A flowchart of a video language switching method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 6. Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 6, the video language switching method specifically includes the following steps:

[0089] S601, constructing a target information structure according to a plurality of media versions of a target media.

[0090] The plurality of media versions are respectively the target media corresponding to different languages; the target information structure includes each media version and the language corresponding to each media version.

[0091] In some embodiments, the target media asset can be a video provided by the player, specifically, a movie, or a TV series, or a variety show, or various types of videos; wherein the multiple media asset versions of the same target media asset in different languages can be understood as: each language version corresponds to the same media image content, but the audio of each two media assets is different, that is, the multiple language versions of the same target media asset correspond to the dubbing of the multiple languages. For example, the target media asset can be the movie "Xanadu", that is, the multiple media asset versions are the English dubbing version, the Chinese dubbing version, the Japanese dubbing version, and the like of "Xanadu".

[0092] Specifically, the homepage of the video can display the length of the video, the type of the video, the main actors, and the brief introduction of the video, and the like.

[0093] In some embodiments, the different language versions of the same video are provided by multiple partners, for example, the English version and the Chinese version of "Xanadu" are provided by partner A for dubbing, and the Japanese version is provided by partner B for dubbing. Since the copyright of each partner needs to be protected, when the user enters the homepage of "Xanadu" on the display device, only the language versions provided by the same partner can be seen, that is, when the user enters the homepage restricted by partner A, the user can only switch between the Chinese dubbing version and the English dubbing version. If the user wants to watch the Japanese dubbing version, the user has to re-enter the homepage restricted by partner B for dubbing, which is very inconvenient.

[0094] In the prior art, the media asset versions in different languages provided by the same partner can be aggregated in one information structure by the method of combining shells; the information structure usually includes the identification (ID) of the target media asset, the title of the target media asset, and the language of the multiple language versions of the target media asset; wherein the identification of the target media asset is used to represent different videos; the title of the target media asset is used to represent the name of the corresponding video of the target media asset. It should be noted that the multiple media asset versions of the target media asset are all included in the videos field, that is, the videos field includes the videos of all media asset versions provided by the same partner of the target media asset.

[0095] In the embodiments of the present application, the target information structure can be included in the vender_aggr_info field; specifically, the vender_aggr_info field includes the identification (ID) of the multiple media asset versions corresponding to the target media asset and the corresponding languages, and there is no need to aggregate the video corresponding to the media asset versions of different languages in one information structure by the method of aggregation, but only the ID and the language of the media asset versions of different languages need to be written into the vender_aggr_info field, that is, the target information structure, and then there is no need to consider the copyright restriction problem caused by the aggregation operation.

[0096] For example, the current target media asset has five media asset versions corresponding to five languages, and therefore, the vender_aggr_info field includes the corresponding relationship between the ID of the five media asset versions and the language, specifically, A media asset version ID, language: Chinese; B media asset version ID, language: English; C media asset version ID, language: Japanese; D media asset version ID, language: Korean; and E media asset version ID, language: French.

[0097] S602, receiving a media asset version acquisition request sent by the display device.

[0098] The media asset version acquisition request is used to acquire each language corresponding to the target media asset.

[0099] In some embodiments, the display can receive an instruction issued by a user, specifically, when the user opens the display and enters the homepage of the playing software, finds a video work that the user wants to watch, enters the homepage of the video work, and clicks the homepage of the video work at the moment, the display device detects and immediately generates the media asset version acquisition request to acquire all language versions of the video work.

[0100] For example, when the video work that the user wants to watch is the movie "Flower X Lan", the display device detects and immediately generates the media asset version acquisition request to acquire all language versions of the movie "Flower X Lan" at the moment when the user clicks the movie "Flower X Lan" to enter the homepage of the movie "Flower X Lan" to play the video.

[0101] S603, in response to the media asset version acquisition request, sending the target information structure to the display device; so that the display device displays each language corresponding to the target media asset according to the target information structure.

[0102] In some embodiments, after the server receives the media asset version acquisition request, the target information structure is immediately sent to the display device.

[0103] Optionally, while the server sends the target information structure to the display device, the server can also send the target media asset in a default language to the display device, and the display device can render the target media asset in the default language and play the first page of the target media asset first, so that the user can watch the corresponding video while obtaining all language versions of the target media asset, thereby improving the user experience. For example, the default language can be set as Chinese, so that when the target information structure corresponding to the target media asset is obtained, the Chinese version of the target media asset is sent to the display device together with the target information structure.

[0104] According to the above technical solutions, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for constructing a target information structure according to a plurality of media asset versions of a target media asset, wherein the plurality of media asset versions correspond to different languages of the target media asset, the target information structure includes each media asset version and a language corresponding to each media asset version, a media asset version obtaining request is received from a display device, the media asset version obtaining request is used to obtain each language corresponding to the target media asset, the target information structure is sent to the display device in response to the media asset version obtaining request, and the display device displays each language corresponding to the target media asset according to the target information structure. According to the embodiments of the present application, the target information structure is constructed according to the plurality of media asset versions of the target media asset, and the target information structure is sent to the display device, so that the display device can obtain all languages corresponding to the target media asset through the target information structure, and is no longer limited by the copyright problems caused by different partners in the prior art, thereby facilitating user selection.

[0105] As an extension and refinement of the above embodiments, Figure 7 For example, another video language switching method is provided in the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 The video language switching method includes the following steps:

[0106] S701, a server constructs a target information structure according to a plurality of media asset versions of a target media asset.

[0107] The plurality of media asset versions correspond to different languages of the target media asset, and the target information structure includes each media asset version and a language corresponding to each media asset version.

[0108] In some embodiments, the method is implemented with reference to the following:

[0109] When the plurality of media asset versions of the target media asset are provided by different partners, the plurality of media asset versions are obtained to construct the target information structure.

[0110] Specifically, the media assets corresponding to the multiple media asset versions will be stored in an audio database. When it is detected that the multiple media asset versions correspond to the same target media asset, all media asset versions corresponding to the target media asset will be immediately retrieved from the audio database, and the identifiers corresponding to the multiple media asset versions will be generated to construct the target information structure and associate the multiple media asset versions with the identifiers.

[0111] S702. The display device generates a media asset version acquisition request and sends the media asset version acquisition request to the server.

[0112] In some embodiments, the display device can receive instructions issued by the user. Specifically, when the user turns on the display device, enters the homepage of the playback software, and finds the movie "Hana-Ran", the display device will immediately generate the media asset version acquisition request to obtain all language versions of the movie "Hana-Ran" the moment the user clicks on the movie "Hana-Ran" to enter the homepage of the movie "Hana-Ran" to play the video.

[0113] S703, The server receives a media asset version retrieval request sent by the display device.

[0114] The media asset version acquisition request is used to obtain the various languages ​​corresponding to the target media asset.

[0115] S704. In response to the media asset version acquisition request, the server sends the target information structure to the display device, so that the display device can display the various languages ​​corresponding to the target media asset according to the target information structure.

[0116] In some embodiments, the purpose of sending the target information structure to the display device is to show the user the various media asset versions corresponding to the target media asset, providing the user with a choice of multiple language versions. The user only needs to select the language version they want to watch according to their own preferences to meet their needs.

[0117] S705, Display device receives target information structure sent by server.

[0118] The target information structure includes each media asset version corresponding to the target media asset and the language corresponding to each media asset version.

[0119] S706. The display device obtains the language corresponding to each media asset version based on the target information structure and displays it in a preset interface.

[0120] In some embodiments, after receiving the target information structure, the display device parses it to obtain multiple media asset versions in the target information structure, that is, to obtain all languages ​​of the target media asset that the user can select.

[0121] Optionally, in the above step, the display in the preset interface can refer to the following steps:

[0122] Based on the language corresponding to each media asset version, a touch button corresponding to each language is constructed.

[0123] The touch button is used to switch the language version of the target media asset.

[0124] In some embodiments, after obtaining the language corresponding to each media asset version of the target media asset from the target information structure, all languages in which the target media asset exists are displayed to the user in any form, for example, in the form of a pop-up window, and the present application does not make any limitation on this.

[0125] For example, referring to Figure 8 , a schematic diagram of a touch button corresponding to each language is shown. When the user touches the control for switching the language, a pop-up window as shown in Figure 8 will be popped up immediately to display all languages corresponding to the target media asset. The user can switch the language of the current target media asset by touching the touch button behind the corresponding language according to his / her preference. Referring to Figure 8 , the black color covering the entire circle indicates that the currently played media asset is the one corresponding to the Chinese dubbed version. When the user switches to the media asset corresponding to other languages, the black color covering range of the circle behind the corresponding language in the pop-up window will change with the user's touch. It should be noted that the language corresponding to the played media asset version and the language corresponding to the unplayed media asset version can also be distinguished by any other form, and the present application does not make any limitation on this.

[0126] As an extension and refinement of the above embodiments, Figure 9 another video language switching method is shown, as shown in Figure 9 , which includes the following steps:

[0127] S901, the display device generates a first media asset version acquisition request in response to the user's triggering of a first touch button.

[0128] The first media asset version acquisition request carries the identifier of the first media asset version.

[0129] In some embodiments, referring to the following steps A and B:

[0130] Step A, in response to the user's triggering of the first touch button, the identifier of the first media asset version is obtained from the target information structure according to the language corresponding to the first touch button.

[0131] In some embodiments, the user can configure the above-mentioned settings according to their preferences. Figure 7 When the user selects the language they want to watch in the pop-up window, which corresponds to the first touch button in this step, after the user triggers the first touch button, since the first touch button corresponds to the first media asset version, the identifier corresponding to the first media asset version is obtained from the target information structure, which is used to generate a request to obtain the first media asset version, so that the request to obtain the first media asset version carries the identifier of the first media asset version, in order to obtain the first media asset version.

[0132] Step B: Generate a request to obtain the first media asset version based on the identifier of the first media asset version.

[0133] S902, The display device sends a request to the server to obtain the first media asset version, in order to request the first media asset version corresponding to the first touch button.

[0134] In some embodiments, after generating a request to obtain the first media asset version, the display device sends the request to the server. The server obtains the first media asset based on the identifier of the first media asset version carried in the request and finally sends the first media asset to the display device for playback to meet user needs.

[0135] S903, The server receives a request to obtain the first media asset version.

[0136] The request to obtain the first media asset version carries an identifier corresponding to the first media asset version.

[0137] S904. The server obtains the first media asset according to the identifier corresponding to the first media asset, and sends the first media asset to the display device.

[0138] S905, The display device receives the first media data and renders and plays it.

[0139] In some embodiments, after the display device receives the first media asset, it renders and plays it. It should be noted that in this embodiment, a first touch button can also be set at a preset position on the media asset playback interface to open a pop-up window for switching languages. When the user touches the first touch button, all languages ​​of the currently playing or soon-to-be-played media asset version will immediately pop up, so that the user can switch to their favorite language at any time, which is convenient for the user and improves the user experience.

[0140] The embodiment of the present application sends the target information structure to the display device, so that the display device displays each language corresponding to the target media asset according to the target information structure.
