[0074] The following will be combined with the drawings in this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0075] In one embodiment, Figure 1As shown, a method for playing a media resource is provided. Although a logical order is shown in the step diagram, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in an order different from that shown in the figure. Specifically, the method for playing a media resource may be applied to a terminal, wherein the terminal may include but is not limited to one or more of a smart TV, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a portable computer, a desktop computer, and a car computer.

[0076] It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the priority order of the embodiments.

[0077] according to Figure 1 The method for playing the media resource shown in the figure includes at least steps S110 to S140, which are described in detail as follows:

[0078] In step S110, a second media resource corresponding to the first media resource is obtained.

[0079] Media resources refer to content resources used in the process of media communication. The first media resources may include but are not limited to video resources and audio resources; the second media resources may include but are not limited to video resources, audio resources and picture resources. Video resources may include but are not limited to one or more of movies, TV series, variety shows, short videos and long videos. Audio resources may include but are not limited to one or more of music, audio novels and podcasts. Pictures may include but are not limited to one or more of photographic pictures, painted pictures, computer-generated pictures and dynamic pictures.

[0080] In one embodiment, the second media resource may be an advertisement, which may include but is not limited to one or more of a video advertisement, an audio advertisement, and a picture advertisement.

[0081] The second media resource corresponding to the first media resource refers to: the media resource played during the playing of the first media resource, including: the media resource played at the beginning of the playing of the first media resource, the media resource played in the middle of the playing of the first media resource, and the media resource played at the end of the playing of the first media resource.

[0082] For example, when the first media resource is a video and the second media resource is an advertisement, the second media resource corresponding to the first media resource includes a pre-roll advertisement of the video, a mid-roll advertisement of the video, and an end-roll advertisement of the video.

[0083] In step S120, a placeholder node of the second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource is obtained.

[0084] The second media resource is a media resource played during the playing of the first media resource. The playing time of the second media resource during the playing of the first media resource can be determined by the placeholder node of the second media resource in the playing progress of the first media resource.

[0085] The placeholder node of the second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource refers to: the time point of playing the second media resource during the playback of the first media resource; wherein the time point of playing the second media resource can be referenced by the playback progress of the first media resource.

[0086] For example, when the total playback time of a first media resource is 10 minutes, and the placeholder node of a second media resource corresponding to the first media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource is the 5th minute, the second media resource will be played when the playback progress of the first media resource reaches 5 minutes.

[0087] In one embodiment, a pre-configured placeholder node of a second media resource in the playback progress of a first media resource is obtained.

[0088] In another embodiment, obtaining the placeholder node of the second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource may include: obtaining information of the first media resource; obtaining configuration information of the second media resource; and determining the placeholder node of the second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource based on the information of the first media resource and the configuration information of the second media resource.

[0089] The information of the first media resource and the configuration information of the second media resource can be obtained from the server or locally. The information of the first media resource may include but is not limited to the playback duration information and content information. The configuration information of the second media resource is used to characterize the way in which the second media resource is inserted into the first media resource. The configuration information of the second media resource may include but is not limited to quantity information, duration information and attribute information.

[0090] According to the information of the first media resource and the configuration information of the second media resource, the placeholder node of the second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource may be determined.

[0091] For example, when the information of the first media resource indicates that the playback duration of the first media resource is 12 minutes, and the configuration information of the second media resource indicates that two second media resources need to be equally inserted into the first media resource, it can be determined that the placeholder nodes of the two second media resources in the playback progress of the first media resource are the 4th minute and the 8th minute respectively.

[0092] For another example, when the information of the first media resource indicates that the first media resource describes three plots, and the configuration information of the second media resource indicates that two second media resources need to be inserted into the first media resource while minimizing the impact on the viewing experience, it can be determined that the placeholder nodes of the two second media resources in the playback progress of the first media resource can be the division points between the first plot and the second plot, and the division points between the second plot and the third plot, respectively.

[0093] By adopting the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, a placeholder node of the second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource can be determined according to the information of the first media resource and the configuration information of the second media resource, so that the determined placeholder node meets the user's needs.

[0094] In step S130, based on the media resource scheduler, it is determined whether the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node.

[0095] The media resource scheduler can monitor the playback progress of the first media resource and the second media resource, and control the player to play the first media resource and the second media resource. The media resource scheduler can obtain the playback progress of the first media resource in real time, and determine whether the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node of the second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource.

[0096] In step S140, when the playing progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node, the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node is played.

[0097] When the media resource scheduler monitors that the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node corresponding to the second media resource, it can trigger the player to play the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node.

[0098] In one embodiment, playing the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node may include: playing the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node based on a Video Ad Serving Template (VAST) protocol.

[0099] The VAST protocol is a standard protocol developed by the Interactive Advertising Bureau for delivering and managing video ads on the Internet. It aims to ensure seamless delivery and display of ads between different advertising technology platforms and video players. The VAST protocol allows the ad server to provide detailed information about the ad to the video player, such as the type, duration, location of the media file, etc., so that the video player can correctly load and play the ad.

[0100] The VAST protocol is often used in some simple video advertising scenarios, such as pre-roll ads, post-roll ads, pause ads, etc. In these simple video advertising scenarios, the playing time of ads can be easily determined. The VMAP protocol is often used for multi-point interstitial ads, and may also be used in some single-advertising scenarios that require more sophisticated ad control.

[0101] In one embodiment of the present application, the second media resource is played during the playing of the first media resource, and the number of the second media resources can be multiple, so in this embodiment, the second media resource is actually multi-point inserted in the first media resource. On this basis, if the first media resource is a video and the second media resource is an advertisement, then the second media resource is a multi-point inserted advertisement.

[0102] The VAST protocol can better determine the location and time of ad display when delivering single-point ads, but for multi-point insertion, to accurately control the delivery of ads at different time points in the video, a more sophisticated time synchronization and positioning mechanism is required. The VAST protocol itself may not be able to provide sufficiently accurate time control, which may cause the timing of ad insertion to be inconsistent with expectations, affecting the accuracy and effectiveness of ad delivery. Therefore, in related technologies, multi-point insertion of ads is generally based on the VMAP protocol.

[0103] In one embodiment of the present application, the media resource scheduler determines whether the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node of the second media resource, thereby achieving accurate control of the playback time of the second media resource, without relying solely on the VAST protocol to determine the playback time of the second media resource. Therefore, when the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node, the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node can be played based on the VAST protocol.

[0104] In another embodiment, playing the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node may also include: playing the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node based on a VMAP protocol.

[0105] By adopting the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the media resource scheduler can determine when to play the second media resource without fixing the link of the second media resource in the first media resource in advance, so there will be no problem of link failure. When the first media resource is a video and the second media resource is an advertisement, the advertisement can be successfully and accurately inserted into the video.

[0106] Based on the above technical solution, as an embodiment, the method may further include: in response to a change in the configuration information of the second media resource, obtaining the changed configuration information of the second media resource; and re-determining the placeholder node of the second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource according to the information of the first media resource and the changed configuration information of the second media resource. The determining whether the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node based on the media resource scheduler may include: determining whether the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the re-determined placeholder node of the second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource based on the media resource scheduler.

[0107] In one embodiment of the present application, dynamic insertion of the second media resource can be implemented. When the configuration information of the second media resource is changed, the changed configuration information of the second media resource can be directly obtained, and the placeholder node of the second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource can be re-determined based on the information of the first media resource and the changed configuration information of the second media resource.

[0108] The configuration information of the second media resource may be changed before playing the first media resource, or during or after playing the first media resource.

[0109] The media resource scheduler can determine whether the playback progress of the first media resource has reached the placeholder node of the re-determined second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource. If the playback progress of the first media resource has exceeded the placeholder node of the re-determined second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource, the second media resource can be determined as a played second media resource. For example, if the second media resource queue includes an unplayed second media resource, the second media resource can be determined as a played second media resource by deleting the second media resource in the second media resource queue.

[0110] If the playback progress of the first media resource just reaches the re-determined placeholder node of the second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource, the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node may be directly played.

[0111] If the playback progress of the first media resource has not yet reached the re-determined placeholder node of the second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource, the playback progress of the first media resource can continue to be monitored until the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the re-determined placeholder node, and then the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node is played.

[0112] In one embodiment, during the process of playing the first media resource, a newly added second media resource corresponding to the first media resource can be inserted into the first media resource for playback. The newly added second media resource can also be regarded as a change in the configuration information of the second media resource. Based on the configuration information of the newly added second media resource and the configuration information of the original second media resource (which can be ignored if there is no original second media resource), as well as the information of the first media resource, the placeholder nodes of each second media resource (including the newly added second media resource and the original second media resource) in the playback progress of the first media resource can be determined, and then based on the placeholder nodes of each second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource, it is determined whether to play each of the second media resources, and when the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node corresponding to any second media resource, the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node is played.

[0113] By adopting the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, when the configuration information of the second media resource changes, the placeholder node can be re-determined according to the changed configuration information, and then whether to play the second media resource can be determined according to the re-determined placeholder node, thereby realizing dynamic insertion of the second media resource.

[0114] Based on the above technical solution, as an embodiment, the determination of whether the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node based on the media resource scheduler may include: determining the playback time point corresponding to the playback progress of the first media resource based on the media resource scheduler; determining the insertion time point of the second media resource according to the placeholder node of the second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource; and calculating whether the playback time point corresponding to the playback progress of the first media resource is equal to the insertion time point of the second media resource.

[0115] The media resource scheduler can monitor the playback progress of the first media resource to determine the playback time point corresponding to the playback progress of the first media resource. The media resource scheduler can determine the insertion time point of the second media resource based on the placeholder node of the second media resource in the playback progress of the first media resource. The insertion time point of the second media resource refers to the time point at which the second media resource is played in the playback progress of the first media resource.

[0116] The media resource scheduler may calculate whether the playback time point corresponding to the playback progress of the first media resource is equal to the insertion time point of the second media resource. When the playback time point corresponding to the playback progress of the first media resource is equal to the insertion time point of the second media resource, it is determined that the playback progress of the first media resource has reached the placeholder node; when the playback time point corresponding to the playback progress of the first media resource is not equal to the insertion time point of the second media resource, it is determined that the playback progress of the first media resource has not reached the placeholder node.

[0117] For example, the placeholder node corresponding to the second media resource is located at 1 / 2 of the playback progress of the first media resource; the total playback time of the first media resource is 10 minutes; the media resource scheduler can determine that the insertion time point corresponding to the placeholder node is the 5th minute; the media resource scheduler can monitor the playback progress of the first media resource in real time to obtain the playback time point corresponding to the playback progress of the first media resource; when the media resource scheduler monitors that the playback time point of the first media resource is the 5th minute, which is equal to the insertion time point of the second media resource, the playback progress of the first media resource can be determined to have reached the placeholder node. By adopting the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the playback time point corresponding to the playback progress of the first media resource and the insertion time point of the second media resource can be determined, so as to accurately determine whether the playback progress of the first media resource has reached the placeholder node according to whether the playback time point is equal to the insertion time point, so as to determine whether to play the second media resource.

[0118] Based on the above technical solution, as an embodiment, before the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node, the method may further include: obtaining the difference between the insertion time point of the second media resource and the playback time point corresponding to the playback progress of the first media resource; when the difference is less than a difference threshold, loading the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node.

[0119] In order to ensure that when the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node, the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node can be quickly played, the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node can be preloaded.

[0120] When the playback progress of the first media resource has not yet reached the placeholder node, the media resource scheduler can obtain the difference between the insertion time point of the second media resource and the playback time point corresponding to the playback progress of the first media resource, and the difference represents the time required from the playback time point to the insertion time point. When the difference is less than the difference threshold, it represents that the placeholder node is about to be reached, so the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node can be loaded. The difference threshold can be set in advance according to actual needs.

[0121] Optionally, the data volume of the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node can be obtained, and the difference threshold can be determined according to the data volume of the second media resource, and the data volume of the second media resource is proportional to the difference threshold, so as to ensure that the loading of the second media resource can be completed before reaching the placeholder node.

[0122] By adopting the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application and preloading the second media resource, it can be ensured that when the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node, the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node is quickly played, thereby improving efficiency.

[0123] Based on the above technical solution, as an embodiment, when there are multiple second media resources corresponding to the first media resource, the obtaining of the second media resource corresponding to the first media resource may include: obtaining a queue consisting of multiple second media resources corresponding to the first media resource; the second media resources in the queue are arranged in order from front to back according to the placeholder nodes. The determining whether the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node based on the media resource scheduler may include: determining whether the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node of the second media resource at the front of the queue based on the media resource scheduler.

[0124] When there are multiple second media resources corresponding to the first media resource, multiple second media resources can be obtained and put into a queue to obtain a queue of second media resources. The second media resources in the queue can be arranged in order from front to back according to the placeholder nodes in the playback progress of the first media resource. Each queue of second media resources corresponds to a first media resource, and the second media resources in the queue are all second media resources corresponding to the first media resource.

[0125] For example, there are three second media resources corresponding to the first media resource, namely, second media resource A, second media resource B and second media resource C; the insertion time point corresponding to the placeholder node of second media resource A is the 1st minute; the insertion time point corresponding to the placeholder node of second media resource B is the 3rd minute; the insertion time point corresponding to the placeholder node of second media resource C is the 6th minute; then, in the second media resource queue, second media resource A is ranked first, followed by second media resource B, and finally second media resource C.

[0126] When determining whether the playback progress of the first media resource has reached the placeholder node, the media resource scheduler may only determine whether the playback progress of the first media resource has reached the placeholder node corresponding to the second media resource that is at the front in the queue of the second media resource. When the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node corresponding to the second media resource that is at the front in the queue of the second media resource, the player is controlled to play the second media resource that is at the front, and the second media resource is deleted from the queue of the second media resource.

[0127] By adopting the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, only determining whether the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node corresponding to the second media resource that is at the front of the queue of the second media resources can greatly save computing resources compared to determining whether the playback progress reaches the placeholder node corresponding to each second media resource each time.

[0128] Based on the above technical solution, as an embodiment, after playing the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node, the method may further include: deleting the second media resource corresponding to the placeholder node from the queue; determining whether the queue is empty; when the queue is not empty, polling to start the media resource scheduler; when the queue is empty, closing the media resource scheduler.

[0129] When the playback progress of the first media resource reaches the placeholder node corresponding to the second media resource that is at the front in the queue of the second media resource, the media resource scheduler controls the player to play the second media resource that is at the front and deletes the second media resource from the queue of the second media resource.

[0130] It can be checked whether the queue of the second media resource is empty. When the queue of the second media resource is not empty, it proves that there is a second media resource that has not been played, so the media resource scheduler is also needed to control the playback of the second media resource. Therefore, the media resource scheduler can be polled to start.

[0131] When the queue of the second media resource is empty, it proves that the second media resource has been played completely, so there is no need for the media resource scheduler to control the playing of the second media resource, and therefore, the media resource scheduler can be closed.

[0132] By adopting the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, it is possible to determine whether to start the media resource scheduler by checking whether the queue of the second media resource is empty, so as to shut down the media resource scheduler when the queue is empty, thereby saving processing resources.

[0133] In one embodiment, Figure 2As shown, the media resource scheduler can be an advertising video scheduler, the first media resource can be a feature film, and the second media resource can be an advertisement. The advertising video scheduler can obtain the progress of the feature film playback, and according to the difference between the feature film playback progress and the advertisement placeholder node, load the advertisement in advance, and record the played feature film and the loaded advertisement. When the feature film playback progress reaches the advertisement placeholder node, the advertisement is played. When the advertisement is successfully played, the advertisement can be deleted from the queue, and it can be determined whether the queue is empty after deleting the advertisement. If it is empty, the advertising video scheduler can be closed; if it is not empty, the advertising video scheduler can be polled. When the playback is unsuccessful, the advertising video scheduler can control the player to replay the advertisement according to the recorded feature film and advertisement.
