[0025] Example Environment

[0026] Figure 1A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which an embodiment of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. In the example environment 100, an application 120 is installed in a terminal device 110. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the terminal device 110 and / or an attached device of the terminal device 110. In some embodiments, the application 120 may be an application that provides a single main function, also referred to as a single-function application. In some embodiments, the application 120 may also be an integrated suite application that can provide multiple functions to the user 140. To this end, the suite application may include multiple components for implementing these functions, respectively, in which case each component may be regarded as corresponding to a sub-application. Suite applications in the office field are sometimes also referred to as "office applications", "collaborative office platforms", etc. As an example, the components integrated in the suite application may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: a chat component (also referred to as an instant messaging (IM) component), a document component, an audio and video conference component, an email component, a calendar component, a schedule component, a task component, etc. In some embodiments, the suite application may also be downloaded and installed as an application on the terminal device 110.

[0027] exist Figure 1 In the environment 100, if the application 120 is started, the terminal device 110 can present the interface 150 of the application 120 to the user 140. The interface 150 may include entry controls and access entries of various components that the application 120 can provide, and interactive interfaces associated with the components, such as a conversation interface for presenting chat content, a video conference interface, a file sharing interface, and the like.

[0028] Interface 150 may include a viewing interface for media content, through which user 140 can play media content and view information associated with the media content. Such media content may be, for example, video or audio. In some embodiments, the media content may include an audio and video file locally stored in the terminal device 110, an audio and video file stored in the cloud (e.g., server 130), or an audio and video stream. Such an audio and video stream may, for example, include a playback stream of recorded media content (e.g., meeting minutes), or a live stream of live content.

[0029] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 communicates with the server 130 to provide the service of the application 120. The terminal device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, personal communication systems (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, television receivers, radio broadcast receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination of the foregoing, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as "wearable" circuits, etc.). The server 130 can be various types of computing systems / servers that can provide computing power, including but not limited to mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in cloud environments, and the like.

[0030] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for exemplary purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0031] As briefly mentioned above, people can use a player to play a video or audio recording of a meeting. During such playback, people may want to locate the corresponding part of a specific speaker (for example, the main speaker or the speaker of main concern of the meeting) in such a video or audio recording, and may want to understand the content of the speech of the specific speaker. In traditional solutions, people need to view the entire media content or the entire text record of the meeting. This takes a lot of time, thereby reducing efficiency.

[0032] To this end, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a solution for viewing media content. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in a viewing interface for media content, speech time information of one or more speakers associated with the media content is presented to indicate the position of the speech time period of one or more speakers in the media content. In the viewing interface, speech content information related to the speech content of one or more speakers is also presented, which can be presented in association with the speech time information. In this way, the user is presented with the speaker's speech time and speech summary at the same time, thereby facilitating a quick understanding of the speech content of the speaker of interest. This can advantageously improve the efficiency of viewing media content.

[0033] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with continued reference to the drawings.

[0034] Example viewing interface

[0035] Figure 2AAn example of a viewing interface for media content is shown, which can be presented, for example, by terminal device 110. The viewing interface includes a region 201 for playing media content. As mentioned above, the media content can be pre-recorded or being recorded. The media content can be, for example, video or audio. In some embodiments, the media content can be a media file for recording a session (e.g., a meeting).

[0036] The viewing interface area 202 is used to present information of one or more speakers (eg, speakers) associated with the media content. Figure 2A As shown, the speaking time information of speaker A, speaker B, and speaker C is presented in area 202 to indicate the positions of the corresponding speaking time periods of these speakers in the media content.

[0037] The speaker associated with the media content described herein may refer to an entity that utters a voice in the media content. Exemplarily, if the media content is a record of a conversation, the speaker may be a participant in the conversation. In some embodiments, a speaker may include multiple speakers. For example, such a speaker may be determined based on the terminals participating in the online conference. For example, multiple conference participants may access the online conference through the same terminal (or use the same account), then such multiple participants may be identified as the same speaker, although they may include multiple different speakers. Alternatively, in some embodiments, a speaker may correspond to a speaker. It should be understood that any appropriate speaker recognition technology may be used to determine the corresponding speaker in the media content, and the present disclosure is not intended to be limited to this.

[0038] In some embodiments, information of all speakers associated with the media content may be presented in area 202. Alternatively, in some embodiments, information of some speakers associated with the media content may be presented in area 202. For example, the user may select which speakers' information is presented in area 202. For another example, information of a certain number of speakers may be presented.

[0039] In some embodiments, the speech time information can be presented to the user in the form of a timeline. For example, for the first speaker, the terminal device 110 can present a first timeline of media content, and display the first speech time period of the first speaker in the first timeline in a first style. Correspondingly, for the second speaker, the terminal device 110 can present a second timeline of media content, and display the second speech time period of the second speaker in the second timeline in a second style different from the first style. The timelines presented for the speakers (for example, the first timeline and the second timeline mentioned above) can be collectively referred to as speech timelines.

[0040] continue Figure 2AIn the example of FIG. 20 , timeline 210-1 for speaker A, timeline 220-2 for speaker B, and timeline 220-3 for speaker C are displayed in area 202, which are also collectively or individually referred to as timeline 220. On each timeline 220, the speech time period of the corresponding speaker is highlighted, and the highlighting style is different for different speakers. In this way, the user can also intuitively understand at which moments the speaker did not speak and at which moments the speaker spoke frequently. Such information is more helpful for users to quickly obtain desired content.

[0041] also, Figure 2A The display style of the speech time period shown is only exemplary and not intended to be limiting. Different speakers can be distinguished in any suitable style, such as the displayed color, the width of the displayed line, etc.

[0042] In addition, representing the speech time periods with different time axes is only exemplary, and the speech time information can be presented in any suitable manner, and is not limited to being presented in area 202. For example, the corresponding speech time periods of each speaker can be identified in different styles in the playback progress bar of the media content.

[0043] In some embodiments, the presented speech timeline may also support various types of user interactions. For example, if the terminal device 110 receives a selection of a position in a timeline, the media content may be played starting from the moment corresponding to the selected position. Figure 2A As shown, the user can click on the position 250 in the speech timeline 210 - 1 to indicate that the media content is expected to be played from this position. Accordingly, the terminal device 110 can start playing the media content from the time point corresponding to the position 250 .

[0044] In some embodiments, a timeline associated with the media content may be displayed in the viewing interface, also referred to as a fourth timeline or a play timeline. A play mark indicating the current play time is displayed on the play timeline. It should be understood that the "current play time" indicates the time corresponding to the image or frame displayed in the media content display area, and the media content may be in a state of being played or paused. Figure 2B Describe an example. Figure 2B As shown, a playback time axis 260 is displayed in the viewing interface, on which a playback mark 261 is displayed. The current playback time is in the speech time period of speaker A. Accordingly, a position mark 262 is displayed on speaker A's speech time axis 210-1.

[0045] In some embodiments, the play mark on the play timeline may jump with the trigger operation on the speech timeline. In response to the trigger operation (e.g., user click) on the first position in the speech timeline, the play mark may be displayed at the second position corresponding to the first position on the play timeline. That is, the play mark jumps.

[0046] contrast Figure 2B and Figure 2C , the user triggers (eg, clicks) the position 263 in the speech timeline 210-1. Accordingly, the display positions of the play mark 261 and the position mark 262 are changed. Figure 2D Another example is described. The user triggers (eg, clicks) the position 264 in the speech timeline 210-2. Accordingly, the display position of the play mark 261 is changed. The position mark 262 is displayed on the speech timeline 210-2 instead of the speech timeline 210-1.

[0047] In some embodiments, whether a position in the speech timeline is triggerable depends on whether the speaker corresponding to the speech timeline is speaking at the time corresponding to the position. Specifically, a position in the speech timeline corresponding to a speaker that is within the speech time period of the speaker is triggerable. For example, a position in the speech timeline 210-1 that is within the speech time period of speaker A is triggerable, and a position in the speech timeline 210-2 that is within the speech time period of speaker B is triggerable. For example, Figure 2E In the example of FIG. 2 , the position 265 on the speech timeline 210 - 2 is not within the speech time period of speaker B, and therefore cannot be triggered. If the user attempts to trigger the position, a prohibition sign 266 may be presented.

[0048] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may also present the speech ratio information of one or more speakers in the viewing interface to indicate the ratio of the corresponding speech time period of one or more speakers to the duration of the media content. Figure 2A In the example of , the proportions “YY%”, “ZZ%”, and “WW%” are displayed for speaker A, speaker B, and speaker C, respectively.

[0049] In some embodiments, the presentation order of the speech timeline can be determined based on the speech ratio of the speaker. For example, if the speech ratio of "speaker A" reaches "70%", which is greater than the speech ratio of "speaker B" "30%", then the speech timeline 210-1 can be presented in priority to the speech timeline 210-2, such as Figure 2A shown.

[0050] refer to Figure 3, which shows an example of a viewing interface for media content, which can be presented, for example, by the terminal device 110. In the viewing interface, speech content information related to the speech content of the speaker is presented. The speech content information may include any suitable information related to the speech content of the speaker. For example, the speech content information of a certain speaker may include the important speech content or excerpts of the speech content of the speaker. In some embodiments, the speech content information may include speech summary information to summarize the speech content of one or more speakers. For example, a speech summary of the speech content of each speaker may be presented.

[0051] The speech content information can be presented in association with the speech time information. For example, the speech content information of each speaker can be presented in association with the speech time information of the speaker. Specifically, Figure 3 Speech content information 310-1 of speaker A and speech content information 310-2 of speaker B are shown, which are also collectively or individually referred to as speech content information 310. It should be understood that, limited by the display area of ​​the interface, the speech content information of speaker C can be displayed by sliding the screen.

[0052] In some embodiments, the speech content information of each speaker can be presented adjacent to the speech timeline of the speaker. Figure 3 As shown, the speech content information 310-1 of speaker A is adjacent to the speech timeline 210-1, specifically below the speech timeline 210-1; the speech content information 310-2 of speaker B is adjacent to the speech timeline 210-2, specifically below the speech timeline 210-2.

[0053] In some embodiments, the speech content information may be presented in the viewing interface by default. In some embodiments, the speech content information may be presented in response to user input. For example, a first control for displaying the speech content information may be presented in the viewing interface. If the first control is triggered by the user, the terminal device 110 may present the speech content information in the viewing interface. For example, Figure 2A In response to the user clicking the first control 220, the Figure 3 Speech content information 310 is shown.

[0054] In some embodiments, in response to the presentation of the speech content information, the terminal device 110 may present a second control for hiding the speech content information in the viewing interface. If the second control is triggered by the user, the presentation of the speech content information in the viewing interface may be stopped. For example, after the speech summary 310 is presented, Figure 2A The first control 220 in is converted to Figure 3The second control 320 is shown. If the user clicks the second control 320, the speech content information 310 can be collapsed.

[0055] In the examples described above, the controls for presenting and hiding speech content information are common to different speakers. In other examples, a separate control can be set for each speaker to present and hide the speech content information of the speaker. In this way, the user can understand the speech content of the speaker he is interested in.

[0056] In some embodiments, the speech time period of the speaker may include multiple sub-time periods. Accordingly, speech content information related to the speech content in at least one of these sub-time periods, such as a speech summary, may be presented. Such a sub-time period may be any sub-time period, or may be a time period whose length exceeds a threshold length. For example, as shown in the timeline 210-1 for speaker A, the speech time period of speaker A includes multiple sub-time periods. If the length of one or more of the time periods exceeds the threshold, a summary of the speech content of such time periods may be presented. In this way, the user can understand the speech content of the speaker at a refined time granularity, thereby more accurately locating the speech content of interest or concern.

[0057] In some embodiments, a summary of speech content corresponding to a sub-time period may be presented. In such an embodiment, if the speech content summary is selected, a position mark may be presented at the sub-time period corresponding to the selected speech content summary on the speech timeline of the speaker. This may further facilitate viewing of speech content of interest or interest.

[0058] It should be understood that for the purpose of description only, although the above Figures 2A to 3 An example of a viewing interface is discussed, but the various aspects discussed above (e.g., provision of a speech timeline, style of a speech timeline, interaction of a speech timeline, style of controls, presentation position of various elements, etc.) may be independently or in different ways. Figures 2A to 3 The combinations shown in are provided.

[0059] also, Figures 2A to 3 Although the example shown in is for reviewing recorded content, the embodiments of the present disclosure can also be used to view real-time media content (e.g., live audio and video streams). Accordingly, the speech timeline discussed above can be used to indicate the temporal distribution of historical speech content of at least one speaker associated with the historical portion of the real-time media content.
