[0028] The names of the messages or information exchanged between the plurality of devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only for illustrative purposes, and are not used to limit the scope of the messages or information.

[0029] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present disclosure is not limited to these specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described in some embodiments. In addition, in one or more embodiments, specific features, structures or characteristics can be combined by any suitable means from the present disclosure that is clear to those skilled in the art.

[0030] The preloaded object in the related art is usually multimedia content to be recommended to the user. For example, in the recommendation page of the multimedia content, the videos to be recommended to the user next are determined according to the recommendation algorithm, and these videos are preloaded.

[0031] The preloaded data type in the related art is limited, for example, only to the preloading of the content to be recommended, resulting in a slow loading situation when the user accesses other information, and therefore, the user experience of using the multimedia content application is not good.

[0032] At least one problem to be solved by the present disclosure includes how to improve the loading speed of data in the multimedia application to improve the user experience.

[0033] It is found through research that in addition to the recommended content of the application and the searched content of the user, when the user is very interested in the browsed content, it is also very likely to enter the homepage of the author of the content to understand the information of the author. Considering that the homepage of the author usually also includes a large amount of data, therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure propose a scheme of preloading the homepage of the author in advance. However, since the user will not access the homepage of the author of all the browsed works in most cases, it is necessary to further screen which homepage of the author to pre-load. The following refers to Figure 1 Embodiments of the data loading method of the present disclosure are described.

[0034] Figure 1 The flowchart of the data loading method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. As shown in FIG. 1, the data loading method includes the following steps. Figure 1As shown, the data loading method of this embodiment includes steps S102 to S104. The method of this embodiment can be applied to an application of multimedia content. The application can be a User Generated Content (UGC) application, such as a short video application, a content sharing application, etc.

[0035] In step S102, in response to playing the multimedia content, at least one of the following is acquired: information of a user watching the multimedia content, information of an author of the multimedia content.

[0036] The multimedia content includes at least one of a video, an audio, and a graphic content. The multimedia content in the embodiments of the present disclosure is published by a user in an application, and the user publishing the multimedia content can be referred to as the author of the multimedia content. The multimedia content published by the author can also be referred to as the work of the author.

[0037] In some embodiments, the multimedia content includes a video in a media stream. The media stream refers to a stream of multimedia content recommended to a user based on a specified recommendation strategy. The multimedia content in the media stream can be displayed in an immersive manner, such as full-screen display. The user sequentially browses the videos recommended to him / her through switching operations (such as up and down swipes) of the multimedia content. If the user is interested in the currently played multimedia content, he / she can watch it for a while longer, or go to the author's homepage; if the user is not interested in the currently played multimedia content, he / she will quickly switch to the next multimedia content.

[0038] In addition to the case where the user specifically searches for a certain user and enters his / her homepage, most user actions of accessing the homepage are triggered when the user watches the work of the author. For example, after watching a certain multimedia content for a period of time, or even repeatedly playing it for several times, the user finds that he / she is interested in the author and wants to access the author's homepage. At this time, the author's homepage can be accessed through the author entry in the play interface of the multimedia content. Of course, it is also possible that the user has watched a certain multimedia content for a period of time, but then recalls the multimedia content when browsing other content, and thus enters the author's homepage of the multimedia content through searching, or checking the history browsing record, etc.

[0039] Therefore, the determination process of whether to preload the author's homepage of the multimedia content can be triggered in the process of playing the multimedia content. For example, the step of acquiring information can be triggered immediately when the multimedia content starts playing; for another example, the step of acquiring information can be triggered after the multimedia content has been played for a period of time, such as when a specified time length, a ratio of the played time length to the total time length of the multimedia content, etc. reaches a specified ratio.

[0040] User information may include user attribute information, which is general information applicable to various browsing scenarios, such as age, gender, and preferences provided and authorized by the user during registration. User information may also include user information specific to the currently playing multimedia content, such as browsing history of the currently playing multimedia content. Based on this user information, it can be determined whether the user is interested in the currently playing multimedia content itself.

[0041] The information about the author of multimedia content can include the author's authorized attribute information, such as age, gender, and the field of the work, as well as the author's activity information, popularity information, etc. Therefore, based on the author's information, the level of interest of the entire user group in the application in the author can be determined.

[0042] In step S104, based on at least one of the user information and the author information, it is determined whether to preload the author's homepage in the user's terminal.

[0043] The user's information can reflect the user's interest in the currently playing multimedia content, and the author's information can reflect the author's popularity in the application. In some embodiments, whether to preload the author's homepage can be determined based solely on the user's information; or, alternatively, whether to preload the author's homepage can be determined based solely on the author's information.

[0044] Both user information and author information can reflect the likelihood of a user's interest in an author from different perspectives. By referencing both types of information together, the user's interest in the author of the currently playing multimedia content can be more accurately determined. For example, if both the user information and the author information meet specified conditions, the author's homepage can be preloaded. Alternatively, numerical values ​​corresponding to the user information and the author's information can be determined separately, and based on these values, a numerical value reflecting the user's interest in the author can be further determined. This level of interest can then be used to determine whether to preload the author's homepage.

[0045] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the author's homepage needs to be preloaded in the user's terminal, a process for preloading the author's homepage is performed. For example, relevant data of the author's homepage is pre-stored in the terminal, and when the display of the author's homepage is triggered, the stored data is read from the terminal, thereby improving the loading speed of the page.

[0046] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the author's homepage does not need to be preloaded in the user's terminal, the process of preloading the author's homepage is not performed. Of course, the application can set preloading strategies from multiple dimensions. If it is determined that the author's homepage needs to be preloaded according to other strategies other than the above embodiment, the preloading operation can also be performed on the author's homepage.

[0047] The above embodiments can determine whether to preload the author's homepage according to at least one of the user's information and the author's information when the user browses the playing content, thereby preloading the author's homepage that the user is likely to be interested in, improving the loading speed of data in the multimedia application, and further improving the user experience.

[0048] The information referred to in the process of determining whether to preload the author's homepage is exemplarily described below.

[0049] The specific content involved in the user's information is exemplarily described first.

[0050] In some embodiments, the user's information includes the user's browsing information of the multimedia content. That is, the browsing information is not information that can be applied to any multimedia content, but information that is specific to the currently playing video. The browsing information can reflect the user's browsing situation of the currently playing multimedia content, and further directly represent the user's interest in the currently playing multimedia content.

[0051] The browsing information can include the user's browsing duration of the playing multimedia content, for example, the duration corresponding to the playing progress. For example, for multimedia content such as videos, audios, and image-text content that can automatically switch images, which have a fixed total playing duration, the browsing duration can be the duration corresponding to the playing progress of the multimedia content.

[0052] The browsing information can include the ratio of the browsed duration to the total duration of the multimedia content. Thus, the total duration of different multimedia content can be considered, and the user's interest in different multimedia content can be compared horizontally.

[0053] The browsing duration, the ratio of the browsed duration to the total duration of the multimedia content, when serving as the browsing information, can be represented by a specific numerical value, or can be discretely processed, for example, classified into multiple levels. Both of the above browsing information are positively correlated with the user's interest in the author's homepage.

[0054] In some embodiments, the user's information includes the user's preferred type, specifically, the type of multimedia content that the user prefers. The type can be divided by theme, for example, pets, emotions, sports, entertainment, and the like. The user's preferred type can be manually filled or selected by the user, for example, the user can be asked in the first use of the application, or modified through the setting function provided by the application or other channels during the use of the application. When the user's preferred type is used, the matching information of the user's preferred type and the multimedia content can be determined first, and then whether to preload the author's homepage in the user's terminal is determined based on the matching information or based on the matching information and the author's information.

[0055] The type of the currently playing multimedia content can be determined in a variety of ways. Some creators add tags and description texts to the multimedia content when publishing the multimedia content. In some embodiments, the type of the multimedia content is determined based on at least one of the tags and the description texts of the multimedia content. When processing the description texts, semantic analysis can be performed to extract the subject matter or keywords of the texts to determine the type. Then, matching information can be determined according to the type of the multimedia content and the type preferred by the user. For example, in the case where the type preferred by the user is the same as the type of the multimedia content, or the similarity is greater than a specified value, or they belong to the same high-level category, it is determined that the two match, i.e., it is determined that the preference of the user is consistent with the content expressed by the multimedia content.

[0056] The specific content involved in the author's information is described exemplarily below.

[0057] The author's information includes the author's popularity. The author's popularity refers to the popularity of the author in the application or the platform where the application is located. The popularity can be determined from the number of likes, the number of followers on the author's homepage, or according to indicators such as the number of likes, the number of comments, the number of collections, and the number of reposts of the author's works. The author's popularity directly reflects the degree of attention the author receives from users in the application.

[0058] The author's information includes the author's activity. The author's activity reflects the frequency of the author's production of works or use of the application. The author's activity is determined according to indicators such as the number of works published by the author and the number of comments published, for example. A user with high activity is a deep user of the application, and the probability of producing popular works is relatively high, so it can indirectly reflect the degree of attention of users in the application.

[0059] The author's information can be the indicators described in the above embodiments themselves, or it can be the result of discretizing the values of these indicators, such as determining the level corresponding to the value of the indicator.

[0060] It should be clear to those skilled in the art that the above description of the specific content included in each type of information is exemplary, and those skilled in the art can select any one of the above information or a combination of multiple information as needed, or further include other types of information, which will not be described here.

[0061] Two embodiments of determining whether to preload the author's homepage are described exemplarily below.

[0062] Figure 2 A flowchart of a data loading method according to some other embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. As shown in Figure 2 The data loading method of this embodiment includes steps S202 to S204.

[0063] In step S202, a first reference value is determined based on a plurality of indicators involved in at least one of the user's information and the author's information. That is, the plurality of indicators can be the plurality of indicators in the user's information, or the plurality of indicators in the author's information, or at least one indicator in the user's information and at least one indicator in the author's information.

[0064] For the user's information or the author's information, the content can be represented in a numerical form. And each kind of information can include one or more specific indicators and their content. For example, the author of the work X currently played for user A is user B, the user's information for example includes: [A's browsing duration: 15s, A's preference type matching work X: yes, B's activity level: high, B's hotness: high], which can be represented in a numerical form as follows: [A's browsing duration: 15, A's preference type matching work X: 1, B's activity level: 3, B's hotness: 3], where 1 represents that A's preference type matches work X, 3 represents B's activity level, and 3 represents B's hotness.

[0065] In some embodiments, the weighted sum of the plurality of indicators can be used as the first reference value. For example, in the above example, the weighted sum of 15, 1, 3 and 3 can be used as the first reference value.

[0066] In step S204, in response to the first reference value being greater than a specified reference value, it is determined to preload the author's homepage in the user's terminal.

[0067] In some embodiments, in response to the first reference value not being greater than the specified reference value, it is determined not to preload the author's homepage in the user's terminal. Alternatively, in the case where the first reference value is not greater than the specified reference value, other considerations can be further referred to for decision.

[0068] The above embodiments can determine the first reference value by comprehensively considering various factors, so as to balance the influence of each indicator.

[0069] Figure 3 A flowchart of a data loading method according to yet some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. As shown in the flowchart, the data loading method of the embodiments includes steps S302 to S304. Figure 3

[0070] In step S302, it is determined whether a plurality of indicators involved in at least one of the user's information and the author's information satisfy a condition corresponding to each indicator. The explanation of "plurality of indicators" can refer to the explanation in step S202, which will not be repeated here.

[0071] ​The conditions corresponding to each indicator are, for example, a specified threshold range, a specified level range, etc., such as the browsing time exceeds the specified time, the user's preferred type matches the type of multimedia content, the author's popularity exceeds the specified level, etc.

[0072] In step S304, in response to multiple indicators involved in at least one of the user information and the author information satisfying a condition corresponding to each indicator, it is determined to preload the author's homepage in the user's terminal.

[0073] In this embodiment, whether to perform preloading is determined after all indicators involved in determining whether to perform preloading satisfy certain conditions, so that preloading can be performed when all indicators are relatively good.

[0074] Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiments are only two exemplary determination methods. Those skilled in the art can use other implementation methods as needed, which will not be described here in detail.

[0075] Figure 4A Schematic diagram of a multimedia content playback interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 4A As shown, a video 411 is played on a play page 41. Page 41 also includes an author control 412 for video 411, such as an author's avatar. In response to a user triggering control 412, the author's homepage can be displayed. If the homepage is preloaded, the content on the author's homepage can be displayed more quickly.

[0076] Figure 4B FIG. 1 shows an interface diagram of an author's homepage according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 4B As shown, the author's homepage 42 may include information such as the author's avatar 421 , name 422 , and introduction 423 .

[0077] In some embodiments, the author's homepage also includes a works list 424, which includes preview information of one or more multimedia contents published by the author. The preview information may include the cover of the multimedia content and, if necessary, further include information such as the title and number of likes, or may include a placeholder control (e.g., a blank box).

[0078] If the work's cover, title, and other information are displayed by default when the homepage is loaded, this information will be loaded along with the author's homepage. If only a placeholder is displayed by default when the homepage is loaded, the cover, title, and other information will be displayed in the placeholder after the work corresponding to the placeholder is preloaded.

[0079] In case the user is further interested in the works of the author, the works in the works list 424 can be browsed by triggering the display of the works. Since the works list also includes multimedia content, there will be a certain delay if the data is requested from the server side in real time and loaded when the display is triggered. Therefore, the multimedia content in the home page can also be preloaded.

[0080] Figure 5 A flowchart of a method of preloading multimedia content in an author's home page according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. As shown in Figure 5 the method of the embodiments includes steps S502-S504.

[0081] In step S502, in response to determining that the author's home page is preloaded in the user's terminal, the number of multimedia content in the home page that needs to be preloaded is determined.

[0082] The determining step can be performed before the multimedia content is played, i.e. before the author's home page is displayed, or after the author's home page is displayed.

[0083] When preloading the multimedia content in the author's home page, the number of multimedia content to be preloaded can be according to a default value, or can be dynamically determined. When the number is dynamically determined, it can be determined according to the information of the user device.

[0084] In some embodiments, the number of multimedia content in the home page that needs to be preloaded is determined according to at least one of the performance of the user device, network information. The performance of the user device reflects whether the user device has the ability to handle the preloading of multimedia content. The network information reflects the success probability of downloading the multimedia content, or the necessity of preloading at the current time.

[0085] The performance of the user device can be determined according to the model of the terminal. For example, the performance of commonly seen models of terminals on the market can be pre-analyzed, and the performance level or performance score corresponding to each model can be determined according to the analysis results. Thus, the performance of the user device can be determined according to the model of the user device. The performance of the user device and the number of multimedia content to be preloaded are in a positive correlation, i.e. under the condition that other conditions are unchanged, the higher the performance, the more the number of multimedia content to be preloaded, and the lower the performance, the less the number of multimedia content to be preloaded.

[0086] The network information may include, for example, a wireless access mode. The wireless access mode may include, for example, cellular access and non-cellular access, and the non-cellular access may include, for example, wireless fidelity (WiFi) access (or WLAN access). The network access level of the wireless fidelity access is higher than that of the cellular access, and the cellular access may include, for example, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, and the like. The network access level is positively correlated with the amount of multimedia content that needs to be preloaded. Because, in the WiFi access mode, traffic billing is usually not required, more preloaded data can be accepted by default.

[0087] The network information may include, for example, network quality. The network quality is positively correlated with the amount of multimedia content that needs to be preloaded, that is, under the condition that other conditions remain unchanged, the higher the network quality, the more multimedia content that needs to be preloaded, and the lower the network quality, the less multimedia content that needs to be preloaded.

[0088] In some embodiments, the weighted sum or the multiplication result of the values corresponding to the plurality of indicators can be used as the amount of preloading or the preloading level. In the case of determining the preloading level, the amount of multimedia content that needs to be preloaded in the author's homepage can be determined according to the predetermined correspondence between the amount and the level.

[0089] In step S504, the multimedia content of the author is preloaded according to the amount of multimedia content that needs to be preloaded in the homepage.

[0090] For example, multimedia content equal to the determined amount can be preloaded. Because the amount of works published by the author may be relatively large, in the case where the total amount of works of the author is greater than the preloading amount, the multimedia content published by the author most recently can be preloaded first.

[0091] The above embodiments can dynamically determine the amount of works of the author that needs to be preloaded on the basis of determining that the homepage of the author needs to be preloaded, so that the preloading of other works of the author can be performed according to the actual situation, and the browsing experience of the user is improved.

[0092] When displaying the list of works, the user may not be interested in any of the preloaded multimedia content and trigger a refresh operation. For example, the refresh control is triggered to refresh, or the user swipes up the list of works and triggers the display of preview information of multimedia content that is not preloaded. At this time, more multimedia content can be further loaded. In some embodiments, the supplementary loading quantity is determined based on at least one of the performance of the user device and network information; in response to the user's refresh operation on the author's homepage, the author's non-preloaded multimedia content is preloaded based on the supplementary loading quantity. That is, the preload quantity (which can be called the first preload quantity) and the supplementary loading quantity determined in step S502 can appear in pairs. For example, multiple sets of value pairs (a1, b1), (a2, b2), (a3, b3) can be pre-set... When the first preload quantity is determined to be a1, the supplementary loading quantity is b1; when the first preload quantity is determined to be a2, the supplementary loading quantity is b2, and so on. Therefore, when a user wants to view more works on an author's homepage, the current status of the user's device can be comprehensively considered to determine the appropriate amount of supplementary loading, thereby improving the success rate of preloading and enhancing the user experience.

[0093] The above describes the relevant embodiments of the data loading method of the present disclosure. The following further introduces the embodiments of the relevant devices and equipment of the present disclosure.

[0094] Figure 6 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a data loading device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, the data loading device 60 of this embodiment includes: an acquisition module 601, which is configured to acquire at least one of the information of the user watching the multimedia content and the information of the author of the multimedia content in response to playing the multimedia content; a first determination module 602, which is configured to determine whether to preload the author's homepage in the user's terminal based on at least one of the user's information and the author's information.

[0095] In some embodiments, the user information includes the user's browsing information of multimedia content and at least one indicator of the user's preferred type; the browsing information includes at least one indicator of the browsing time and the ratio of the browsing time to the total time of the multimedia content; or, the author information includes at least one item of the author's popularity and the author's activity.
