[0011] Figures 2 to 5 A schematic diagram of an interface for playing streaming media is shown according to some embodiments of the present disclosure;

[0012] Figure 6 Block diagrams of apparatus for streaming media playback according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown; and

[0013] Figure 7 A block diagram of a device capable of implementing several embodiments of the present disclosure is shown.

[0014] In all the accompanying figures, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements. Detailed Implementation

[0015] It is understood that all user-related data involved in this technical solution should be obtained and used only after authorization from the user. This means that if it is necessary to use a user's personal information in this technical solution, the user's explicit consent and authorization are required before obtaining this data; otherwise, no related data collection and use will be carried out. It should also be understood that when implementing this technical solution, relevant laws and regulations should be strictly followed in the process of data collection, use, and storage, and necessary technical measures should be taken to protect user data security and ensure the secure use of data.

[0016] It is understood that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of this disclosure, users should be informed of the types, scope of use, and usage scenarios of the personal information involved in this disclosure in an appropriate manner in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and user authorization should be obtained.

[0017] For example, upon receiving a user's proactive request, a prompt message is sent to the user to explicitly inform them that the requested operation will require the acquisition and use of the user's personal information. This allows the user to independently choose whether to provide personal information to the software or hardware, such as the electronic device, application, server, or storage medium performing the operations of this disclosed technical solution, based on the prompt message.

[0018] As an optional but non-limiting implementation, in response to a user's active request, sending a prompt message to the user can be done via a pop-up window, where the prompt message can be presented in text format. Furthermore, the pop-up window can also include a selection control allowing the user to choose "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0019] It is understood that the above notification and user authorization process are merely illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the implementation of this disclosure. Other methods that comply with relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of this disclosure.

[0020] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0021] In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "comprising" and similar terms should be understood as open-ended inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc., may refer to different or the same objects unless explicitly stated. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0022] As mentioned above, when a user opens multiple streaming media content sequentially or simultaneously on the foldable display screen of a foldable terminal device, the multiple streaming media play simultaneously. For example, when a user opens a live stream and / or video sequentially on the foldable display screen, the live stream and video will play simultaneously in different areas of the foldable display screen, making it impossible for the user to focus on watching any one streaming media content. Furthermore, because multiple streaming media are playing simultaneously, the audio of the multiple streaming media interferes with each other, resulting in a poor user experience when watching streaming media.

[0023] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a method for streaming media playback, applicable to electronic devices having a foldable display screen. In this method, in response to a user-triggered input to play a first streaming media, the first streaming media is played in a first display area of ​​the foldable display screen. A first user input is received to trigger the playback of a second streaming media in a second display area of ​​the foldable display screen. Based on the first user input, the presentation of the first streaming media is paused, for example, by pausing playback or muting the first streaming media. Simultaneously with pausing the presentation of the first streaming media, the second streaming media is played in the second display area. Thus, by muting or pausing playback of the first streaming media, interference with the sound and image of subsequently opened streaming media is avoided, ensuring that the user can more clearly view the currently opened streaming media content, thereby improving the user's streaming media viewing experience.

[0024] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method 100 for streaming media playback according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Method 100 can be implemented by any electronic device having computing capabilities and configured with a foldable display screen, including but not limited to mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, in-vehicle devices, augmented reality / virtual reality devices, laptops, super mobile personal computers, netbooks, personal digital assistants, IoT devices, industrial terminals, and various electronic devices with foldable display capabilities. The embodiments of this disclosure do not impose any limitations on the specific type of electronic device.

[0025] For ease of understanding, it will be combined Figures 2 to 5 The diagram shown illustrates the playback of streaming media. Figure 1 The streaming media playback method 100 is available, but it should be understood that... Figures 2 to 5 The exemplary diagrams of playing streaming media in the illustrations are non-limiting.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown in box 102, a first streaming media is played in a first display area of ​​the screen. The first display area refers to a specific area included in the unfolded foldable display screen for playing the first streaming media. In some embodiments, user-triggered input to play the first streaming media is received, and based on this input, the first streaming media is played in the first display area of ​​the foldable display screen. For example, user-triggered input to play a short video is received, and based on this input, the short video is played in the first display area of ​​the foldable display screen.

[0027] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of streaming media playback is shown. The foldable display screen 202 includes a left portion 204 and a right portion 206. A first display area 208 is located in the middle region of the foldable display screen 202. Figure 2As shown, when a user triggers an input to play a video of an athlete's race walking, the video of the athlete's race walking is played in the first display area 208 located in the center of the screen 202 based on the input.

[0028] In box 104, user input is received to trigger the playback of a second streaming media in a second display area of ​​the screen. The second display area refers to a specific area of ​​the foldable display screen in its unfolded state used for playing the second streaming media, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the second display area 210 can be located on the right side portion 206 of the foldable display screen 202, and correspondingly, the first display area 208 is adjusted to the left side portion 204 of the foldable display screen 202. In some embodiments, the right side portion 204 is configured to have higher priority, and the most recently triggered streaming media is played on the right side portion 204.

[0029] In some embodiments, the first input may be a swipe in the second display area 204 for switching streaming media. Based on this first user input, swiping in an existing playback window in the second display area 210 switches to playing the second streaming media. (See reference...) Figure 2 Once a playback window has been started in the second display area 210, the user can slide within the existing playback window to switch to playing a second streaming media. For example, when a playback window in the second display area 210 is playing a video of an athlete playing tennis, the system receives an up-and-down swipe input to switch the video. Based on this swipe input, the video of the athlete playing tennis is switched to another video, and the other video is played in the existing playback window.

[0030] In box 106, in response to user input, the presentation of the first streaming media is paused, and the second streaming media is played in the second display area. In some embodiments, pausing the presentation of the first streaming media includes muting the first streaming media in the first display area 208. In some embodiments, when the first streaming media is a video, playback of the video is paused, and controls for replaying the video are displayed. For example, playback of a race walking video of an athlete in the first display area 208 is paused, the video is muted, and controls for replaying the race walking video of an athlete are displayed.

[0031] When the first streaming media is video content, in response to a first user input, playback of the first streaming media in the first display area 208 is paused and muted, while the second streaming media is played in the second display area 210. In some embodiments, when the first streaming media is paused, a control for replaying the first streaming media is displayed in the first display area 208. When the user triggers the control to replay the first streaming media, the first streaming media is replayed. For example, when a race walking video of an athlete is paused in the first display area 208, the user triggers the replay control, and the race walking video of the athlete is replayed.

[0032] In some embodiments, when the first streaming media is a live stream, the live stream is muted, a mask is applied to the first display area 208 to obscure the image of the live stream, and the comment content of the live stream is cleared. A mask is a visual overlay on the streaming media content, which has a certain degree of transparency, obscuring the content of the live stream without completely covering it. In some embodiments, a prompt message for the live stream and a control for resuming the live stream can be displayed on top of the mask in the first display area 208. The prompt message may include information such as the title of the live stream, the main body of the live stream, and the number of followers of the live stream. For example, when the first display area 208 is playing a live sports event, a user-triggered short video content is played in the second display area 210, the live sports event in the first display area 208 is muted, a mask is applied to the first display area 208 to obscure the live stream, and the comment content in the live sports event is cleared. When the user wants to rewatch the live sports event, the control for resuming the live sports event can be triggered, and the live sports event is resumed upon receiving the user's trigger of the control.

[0033] In this way, when a user opens multiple streaming media on a foldable terminal device, the newly opened streaming media can be played first, and the previously opened streaming media can be muted or paused. This allows the user to focus more on the currently opened streaming media and avoids problems such as the user not being able to clearly view the streaming media or audio interference, thus improving the user experience.

[0034] Figure 3 The diagram illustrates the playback of a streaming media, including a first display area 208 and a second display area 210. The streaming media displayed in the first display area 208 is video, while the streaming media displayed in the second display area 210 is a live stream. The live stream includes notification information and a comment section, which contains comments from users watching the live stream.

[0035] In some embodiments, a first user input is received to trigger the playback of a live stream in the second display area 210. Based on the first user input, playback of the video in the first display area 208 is paused and the video is muted, while the live stream is played in the second display area 210. In some embodiments, when the video in the first display area 208 is paused, controls for playing the video are displayed in the first display area 208.

[0036] In some embodiments, receiving a second user input that triggers playback of the first streaming media in the first display area 208, and in response to the second user input, pausing the presentation of the second streaming media, and then playing the first streaming media in the first display area 208. (See reference...) Figure 3When a user triggers a control in the first display area 208 to play the video, the presentation of the live stream in the second display area 210 is paused, and the video is played in the first display area 208. In some embodiments, a second user input is received to trigger the playback of a third streaming media in the first display area 208. In response to the second user input, the presentation of the second streaming media is paused, and the third streaming media is played in the first display area. When the user swipes the video in the first display area 208, the first streaming media is switched to the third streaming media 302, the presentation of the live stream is paused, and the third streaming media 302 is played in the first display area 208. In some embodiments, pausing the presentation of the live stream includes muting the live stream, applying a mask 304 to the second display area 210 to obscure the image of the live stream, and clearing the comment content of the live stream.

[0037] By implementing the above method, users can re-trigger the paused video or switch videos. Furthermore, during video playback, the live stream can be muted and paused, avoiding issues such as users being unable to clearly view the video or experiencing audio interference, thus improving the user experience.

[0038] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of streaming media playback is shown, including a first display area 208 and a second display area 210. Both the first display area 208 and the second display area 210 display live streams.

[0039] In some embodiments, a first user input is received to trigger the playback of a live stream in the second display area 210. In response to the first user input, the live stream in the first display area 208 is muted, the presentation of the live stream in the first display area 208 is paused, and the live stream in the second display area 210 is played. Pausing the presentation of the live stream in the first display area 208 includes applying a mask 402 to obscure the image in the first display area 208, clearing the comment content of the live stream in the first display area 208, and displaying prompt information (such as blogger and follower count) and controls for resuming the live stream on top of the mask 402.

[0040] In some embodiments, a second user input is received to trigger the playback of a live stream in the first display area 208. In response to the second user input, the rendering of the live stream in the second display area 210 is paused, and the live stream is played in the first display area 208. Pausing the rendering of the live stream in the second display area 210 includes applying a mask 404 to obscure the image in the second display area 210, clearing the comment content of the live stream in the second display area 210, and displaying a prompt message and controls for resuming the live stream on top of the mask 404.

[0041] By implementing the above method, users can re-trigger the paused live stream, and during the playback of the live stream, the live stream in another display area can be muted and paused, avoiding problems such as users being unable to clearly view the live stream and audio interference, thus improving the user experience.

[0042] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of playing streaming media is shown, including a first display area 208 and a second display area 210, wherein the streaming media displayed in the first display area 208 and the second display area 210 are both videos.

[0043] In some embodiments, a first user input is received to trigger the playback of a video in the second display area 210. In response to the first user input, the video in the first display area 208 is muted, the presentation of the video in the first display area 208 is paused, and the video in the second display area 210 is played. Pausing the presentation of the video in the first display area 208 includes pausing the playback of the video in the first display area 208 and displaying controls for playing the video in the first display area 208.

[0044] In some embodiments, a second user input is received to trigger the playback of a video in the first display area 208. In response to the second user input, the presentation of the video in the second display area 210 is paused, and the video is played in the first display area 208. Pausing the presentation of the video in the second display area 210 includes pausing the playback of the video in the second display area 210 and displaying controls for playing the video in the second display area 210. In some embodiments, a second user input is received to trigger the playback of another video 502 in the first display area 208. In response to the second user input, the presentation of the video in the second display area 210 is paused, and the switched video 502 is played in the first display area 208. In some embodiments, a trigger operation is received for the other video 502, the playback of the other video 502 is paused, and the presentation of the video in the second display area 210 is also paused, so that the videos in both display areas of the foldable display screen 202 are in a paused playback state.

[0045] By implementing the above method, users can re-trigger the paused video and, during video playback, mute and pause the video in another display area, avoiding issues such as users being unable to clearly view the live stream and audio interference, thus improving the user experience.

[0046] The above is for reference only. Figures 1 to 5The described example embodiments provide a method for streaming media playback. Compared to existing technologies, its advantages are: when a user opens multiple streaming media sequentially or simultaneously on a foldable terminal device, the user can prioritize playing the later-opened streaming media and mute or pause the previously opened streaming media, allowing the user to focus more on the currently opened streaming media and avoiding problems such as unclear streaming media viewing and audio interference, thus improving the user experience.
