Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Although some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, the present disclosure can be realized in various forms. These embodiments are provided for understanding the present disclosure. The accompanying drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are only intended to be exemplary.

[0011] The plurality of steps described in the embodiments of the method of the present disclosure may be executed in a different order and / or in parallel. Also, the embodiments of the method may include additional steps and / or omit the execution of the steps shown. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this regard.

[0012] As used herein, the term "comprising" and its variations are open-ended, i.e., "including". The term "based on" means "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" means "at least one embodiment", the term "another embodiment" means "at least one other embodiment", and the term "some embodiments" means "at least some embodiments". Related definitions of other terms are set forth in the following description.

[0013] In the present disclosure, concepts such as "first", "second", etc. are used only for distinguishing different devices, modules or units, and do not limit the order or mutual dependence of the functions performed by these devices, modules or units.

[0014] The modifiers "one" and "a plurality of" mentioned in the present disclosure are exemplary and not restrictive. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, those skilled in the art should understand them to mean "one or more".

[0015] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the names of the messages or information exchanged between multiple devices are for illustrative purposes only and are not used to limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0016] When using the technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the user shall be notified of the type, scope of use, use scenarios, etc. of the personal information related to the disclosure, and the user's permission shall be obtained in an appropriate manner.

[0017] For example, in response to receiving a user's spontaneous request, prompt information is sent to the user to explicitly prompt the user that the requested operation requires the acquisition and use of the user's personal information. Thereby, based on the prompt information, the user can independently select whether to provide personal information to software or hardware such as an electronic device, an application, a server, or a storage medium that executes the operations of the technical solution of the present disclosure.

[0018] As one implementation form, the method of sending prompt information to the user in response to receiving a user's spontaneous request may be a pop-up window method of presenting the prompt information in text form in a pop-up window. Further, the pop-up window may carry an option control for the user to select "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0019] The above notification and user authorization acquisition process is only schematic and does not limit the embodiments of the present disclosure. Other methods that comply with relevant laws and regulations related to the implementation of the present disclosure can also be applied.

[0020] FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for controlling media content provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be executed by a device for controlling media content. Here, the device can be implemented by software and / or hardware and can be set in an electronic device such as a mobile phone or a tablet PC. The method for controlling media content provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to a scene where comment information on the media content is viewed when the media content is played.

[0021] When a user views the comment content of the currently playing video in an application by triggering the video comment control during video playback, the application usually continues to play the video while displaying the comment content of the video. The playback of the video easily interferes with the user's viewing of the comment content of the video, and as a result, the user cannot immerse themselves in watching the comment content of the video. In this case, in order to view the comment content of the video immersively, the user first needs to instruct the application to cancel the display of the comment content of the video, then perform a trigger operation to pause the video on the video playback page. After pausing the video, it is necessary to re-trigger the video comment control and instruct the application to redisplay the comment content of the video. The method of pausing the video is cumbersome.

[0022] Based on this, the media content control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can solve the technical problems that it is impossible to immerse oneself in watching the comment content of the video when triggering the comment control to view the comment information during video playback, and that it is more cumbersome to pause the video playback after displaying the comment content of the video, and can provide convenience for the user to immerse themselves in watching the comment content.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 1, the method for controlling media content provided in this embodiment may include S101, a step of playing the target media content in the first area of the media content playback page.

[0024] The media content playback page may be a page for playing media content such as a video playback page. The first region may be a region used for playing media content on the media content playback page, such as the main display region of the media content playback page or a sub-region in the main display region of the media content playback page. As an example, the first region may be the main display region of the media content playback page, and the media content page may be a playback page where all of the main display region is a display region of the media content. The target media content may be the media content currently being played on the media content playback page, and the media content may be, for example, graphic and text content or video content, etc. In this embodiment, the type of the target media content is not limited.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 2, the media content playback page can be displayed, and the target media content can be played in the first region 20 of the media content playback page.

[0026] S102: In response to a comment display operation on the target media content, display comment information on the target media content in a second region of the media content playback page.

[0027] The comment display operation may be a trigger operation for instructing the display of comment content on the target media content. For example, it may be an operation for triggering a comment control on the target media content. The second region may be a display region for comment information on the target media content. This second region may have an overlapping region with the first region, that is, the display of comment information on the target media content will conceal the first region to a certain extent. In other words, this embodiment can control the media content played in a scene where the main display region can be used for playing media content.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 3, when a comment display operation for the target media content is received, such as when it is detected that the user has triggered a comment control for the target media content being played on the media content playback page (i.e., the target media content is in a playback state), the playback of the target media content is maintained so that the user can view and / or comment on the comment information for the target media content, and the comment information for the target media content may be displayed in the second area 30 of the media content playback page. For example, a comment panel for the target media content may be displayed in the second area 30 of the media content playback page, and the comment information for the target media content may be displayed in the comment panel.

[0029] Also, when displaying comment information for the target media content in the second area, for example, the playback of the target media content may be maintained, such as maintaining the playback of the target media content in the first area, or the first area may be adjusted based on the second area, and the first area may be adjusted to a new area that does not overlap with the second area, and the target media content may be played in the new area. This can be determined as needed or based on the screen size of the target media content, and is not limited in this embodiment.

[0030] S103: In response to the target trigger operation on the media content playback page, temporarily pause the playback of the target media content and maintain the display of the comment information for the target media content.

[0031] The target trigger operation may be a trigger operation that instructs to temporarily stop the playback of the target media content, such as a playback pause operation on the target media content or an area adjustment operation on the comment information of the target media content, while the comment information of the target media content is being displayed. The operation to temporarily stop the target media content may also be a trigger operation for instructing the temporary stop of the playback of the target media content, such as an operation for triggering the pause control of the target media content, or an operation for performing a specific gesture (double click, slide along a preset direction / preset path, etc.) on the media content playback page. Further, the area adjustment operation on the comment information of the target media content may also be a trigger operation for instructing the adjustment of the display area where the comment information of the target media content is located, such as an operation for triggering the area adjustment control on the comment information of the target media content, or an operation for performing a predetermined gesture (double finger up slide in the second area, single finger up slide in a predetermined sub - area of the second area, etc.) on the media content playback page.

[0032] When receiving a target trigger operation on the media content playback page, the playback of the target media content may be temporarily stopped while maintaining the display of the comment information for the target media content. For example, when receiving a playback pause operation on the target media content, the playback of the target media content is temporarily stopped, and the comment information for the target media content is displayed in the second area, or when receiving an area adjustment operation on the comment information of the target media content, the playback of the target media content is temporarily stopped, and the display area of the comment information for the target media content is adjusted from the second area to the third area.

[0033] In this embodiment, when a comment display operation is received during the playback process of the target media content, comment information for the target media content is displayed, the playback of the target media content is maintained, and when a target trigger operation is received, the playback of the target media content is paused temporarily, and the display of the comment information for the target media content is maintained. After the user finishes viewing the comment information, there is no need to pause the playback of the target media content temporarily, and the playback of the target media content is not automatically paused temporarily when the comment information of the target media content is being displayed. Therefore, it is possible to meet the user's need to view the comment information of the target media content while viewing the target media content, and when the user wants to view the comment information immersively, it is possible to meet the user's need to view the comment information of the target media content immersively, avoid the interference of the playback of the target media content with the user's viewing of the comment information of the target media content, and improve the user experience.

[0034] In this embodiment, the target trigger operation is fixedly displayed within the media content playback page, and it can be displayed when the comment information of the target media content playback page is displayed, such as when a comment display operation for the target media content is received. By acting on a first control that can be displayed, it meets the user's need to pause the playback of the target media content temporarily, and at the same time, by fixedly displaying the first control on the media content page, it is possible to avoid shielding the screen of the target media content. At this time, the media content control method provided in this embodiment may further include the step of displaying a first control for triggering the execution of the target trigger operation on the media content playback page in response to the comment display operation for the target media content.

[0035] The first control may be a control for triggering the execution of a target trigger operation. The first control may include a playback pause control and / or a preset adjustment control. The playback pause control may be used to trigger and execute a playback pause operation on the target media content. This preset adjustment control may be used to trigger an adjustment for the display of comment information on the target media content, such as adjusting the display area and / or display size of the comment information. As an example, this preset adjustment control may include an area adjustment control, and the area adjustment control may be used to trigger the execution of an area adjustment operation on the comment information of the target media content.

[0036] As an example, as shown in FIG. 3, when receiving a comment display operation on the target media content, the comment information on the target media content may be displayed in the second area 30 of the media content playback page, and the first control 31 may be displayed, such as displaying a playback pause control and / or a preset adjustment control on the media content playback page. In this embodiment, the display position of the first control 31 on the media content playback page is not limited. For example, the first control 31 may be displayed within the second area 30, or may be displayed outside the second area 30.

[0037] In this embodiment, when pausing the playback of the target media content in response to a target trigger operation, the playback control of the target media content may be displayed so that the user can conveniently execute the playback operation on the target media content by triggering the playback control. In this case, in response to the target trigger operation on the media content playback page described above, the step of pausing the playback of the target media content includes pausing the playback of the target media content in response to the target trigger operation on the playback pause control, and displaying a playback control for triggering the execution of the playback operation on the target media content.

[0038] The display method and display timing of the playback control can be flexibly set. For example, in response to a comment display operation on the target media content, the playback pause control and the playback control of the target media content may be simultaneously displayed, or in response to a target trigger operation, the playback control of the target media content may be displayed. As an example, the playback control of the target media content may be displayed while maintaining the display of the playback pause control of the target media content, or the playback pause control of the target media content may be switched and displayed to the playback control of the target media content. That is, the display of the playback pause control of the target media content may be canceled while the playback control of the target media content is displayed.

[0039] In one embodiment, the target trigger operation includes a target gesture operation, and the method further includes adjusting, based on the target gesture operation, the area size of the second area and / or the display size of the comment information in the second area in the trigger process of the target gesture operation.

[0040] The target trigger operation may include a target gesture operation. The target gesture operation may be used to instruct an adjustment of the area size of the second area and / or the display size of the comment information displayed in the second area in the trigger process. The target gesture operation may be, for example, a slide operation, a continuous tap operation, or a long press operation.

[0041] In the above embodiment, in the trigger process of the target gesture operation, the area size of the second area and / or the display size of the comment information in the second area may be adjusted based on the target gesture operation. For example, the scaling ratio of the second area / comment information is determined based on the slide distance / continuous tap count / long press time of the target gesture operation, and based on the scaling ratio, the second area (for example, the comment panel) and / or the comment information displayed in the second area is scaled to adjust the area size of the second area and / or the display size of the comment information in the second area. Here, the scaling ratios of the second area and the comment information in the second area may be the same or different, and the second area and the comment information in the second area may be scaled according to the same scaling ratio.

[0042] In the above embodiment, based on the slide distance of the target slide operation, the target gesture operation may include the target slide operation so as to adjust the area size of the second area and / or the display size of the comment information in the second area. For example, the scaling ratio of the second area / comment information is determined according to the slide distance of the target slide operation, and the second area and / or the comment information displayed in the second area is scaled according to the scaling ratio. In this case, the target gesture operation includes the target slide operation, and based on the above-mentioned target gesture operation, the step of adjusting the area size of the second area and / or the display size of the comment information in the second area includes the step of adjusting the area size of the second area and / or the display size of the comment information in the second area based on the slide distance of the target slide operation. Here, the target slide operation may include an operation of sliding along a preset direction or an operation of sliding with multiple fingers. The operation of sliding with multiple fingers may include, for example, an operation of zooming with multiple fingers and / or an operation of pinching with multiple fingers.

[0043] A method for controlling media content provided in this embodiment, a step of playing target media content in a first area of a media content playback page, a step of displaying comment information on the target media content in a second area of the media content playback page in response to a comment display operation on the target media content, and a step of temporarily stopping the playback of the target media content and maintaining the display of the comment information on the target media content in response to a target trigger operation on the media content playback page. By adopting the above technical solution, in the process of playing the target media content, when a comment display operation is received, the comment information on the target media content is displayed, and the playback of the target media content is maintained. When a target trigger operation is received, the playback of the target media content is temporarily stopped, and the display of the comment information on the target media content is maintained, so as to avoid the playback of the target media content interfering with the viewing of the comment information on the target media content, meet various needs of users in viewing comment information, and improve the user experience.

[0044] FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart of another method for controlling media content provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The technical solution in this embodiment may be combined with one or more of the technical solutions in the above embodiments. The step of maintaining the display of the comment information on the target media content described above includes the step of maintaining the display of the comment information on the target media content in the second area or the step of displaying the comment information on the target media content in a different third area, where the third area is different from the second area.

[0045] After temporarily stopping the playback of the target media content described above, in response to a playback operation on the target media content, the method further includes a step of continuing the playback of the target media content and displaying the comment information on the target media content in the second area or the third area.

[0046] After pausing the playback of the target media content and / or maintaining the display of the comment information for the target media content, in response to a display cancellation operation for the comment information, cancel the display of the comment information, maintain pausing the playback of the target media content, or further include the step of resuming the playback of the target media content.

[0047] Correspondingly, as shown in FIG. 4, the method for controlling media content provided by this embodiment is as follows. S201: It may include the step of playing the target media content in the first area of the media content playback page.

[0048] S202: In response to a comment display operation for the target media content, display the comment information for the target media content in the second area of the media content playback page, and execute S203 or S204.

[0049] S203: In response to a target trigger operation on the media content playback page, pause the playback of the target media content and maintain the display of the comment information for the target media content in the second area, and execute S205 or S206.

[0050] In this embodiment, when receiving a target trigger operation, it may pause the playback of the target media content and maintain the display of the comment information for the target media content in the second area.

[0051] When the target trigger operation is used as an example of a playback pause operation, if the target trigger operation is a playback pause operation on the target media content, in the trigger process of the playback pause operation, the display area of the comment information and / or the size of the second area / comment information are not adjusted. When the playback pause operation is triggered, the playback of the target media content is paused, and the display of the comment information for the target media content in the second area is maintained, or in the trigger process of the playback pause operation, the area size of the second area and / or the display size of the comment information are adjusted. When the playback pause operation is triggered, the playback of the target content is paused, and the second area and / or the comment information can be restored to the original size before receiving the playback pause operation.

[0052] In this embodiment, after pausing the playback of the target media content, the user can also adjust the display area of the comment information for the target media content by an area adjustment operation. In this case, after maintaining the display of the comment information for the target media content in the second area described above, in response to the area adjustment operation on the media content playback page, the second area is adjusted to a third area, and the step of displaying the comment information for the target media content in the third area is further included. As an example, when receiving an area adjustment operation within the media content playback page, steps such as adjusting the second area to a third area and displaying the comment information for the target media content in the third area can be performed to adjust and display the comment information for the target media content in the third area.

[0053] S204: In response to the target trigger operation on the media content playback page, pause the playback of the target media content, display the comment information for the target media content in the third area, and execute S205 or S206. Here, the third area is different from the second area.

[0054] The third region may be a region different from the second region. For example, the third region may have a display position and / or region size different from those of the second region. As an example, the region size of the third region may be larger than the region size of the second region. For example, the second region is the display region of the comment information when the comment information is displayed in half screen, and the third region may be the display region of the comment information when the comment information is displayed in full screen. The third region may be the same as or different from the first region.

[0055] In this embodiment, when a target trigger operation is received, the playback of the target media content may be temporarily paused, and the comment information for the target media content may be adjusted and displayed in the third region.

[0056] In one embodiment, when the target trigger operation is a region adjustment operation, the comment information for the target media content may be adjusted and displayed in the third region. That is, when adjusting the display region of the comment information, the playback of the target media content may be temporarily paused. In this case, the step of temporarily pausing the playback of the target media content and / or maintaining the display of the comment information for the target media content in response to the target trigger operation on the media content playback page includes adjusting the display region of the comment information from the second region to the third region and temporarily pausing the playback of the target media content in response to the region adjustment operation on the media content playback page.

[0057] As an example, when receiving a region adjustment operation on a media content playback page, in the process of triggering the region adjustment operation, the display area of the comment information and / or the size of the comment information in the second region 30 are not adjusted, or in the process of triggering the region adjustment operation, the region size and / or the display size of the comment information in the second region 30 are adjusted. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when the region adjustment operation is triggered, the playback of the target media content is temporarily stopped, and the second region 30 (as shown in FIG. 3) is adjusted to the third region 50, and comment information on the target media content is displayed in this third region 50, etc., comment information on the target media content is displayed in the third region 50.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the adjustment method of adjusting the second region to the third region can be flexibly set to adjust the second region to the third region by scaling the second region. The second region may be expanded to the third region, that is, the region size of the second region can be expanded to obtain the third region. In this case, in response to the region adjustment operation on the media content playback page described above, the step of adjusting the display area of the comment information from the second region to the third region and temporarily stopping the playback of the target media content includes the step of expanding the second region to the third region in response to the region adjustment operation on the preset adjustment control and temporarily stopping the playback of the target media content.

[0059] In this embodiment, the method of displaying the information of the second region and the third region may be the same or different. The method of displaying the information of the second region is different from the method of displaying the information of the third region, that is, a method of displaying information different from the method of displaying the information of the second region may be used to display information in the third region. Examples of the method of displaying the information include the display size of the information (such as font size, etc.), the display style of the information (such as color or font, etc.), the information to be displayed and / or the arrangement order of the information, etc. The information includes comment information on the target media content.

[0060] In this embodiment, in the second region, first comment information with a first preset number and m sub-comment information of the first comment information are displayed, and in the third region, second comment information with a second preset number and n sub-comment information of the second comment information are displayed. The first preset number is different from the second preset number, and / or m≠n, and both m and n are positive integers. That is, the number of first comment information displayed in the second region is different from the number of second comment information displayed in the second region, and / or the number of sub-comment information for each first comment information displayed in the second region is different from the number of sub-comment information for each second comment information displayed in the second region.

[0061] The first comment information may be comment information that automatically expands and displays at least one sub-comment information in the second region, the second comment information may be comment information that automatically expands and displays at least one sub-comment information in the third region, and the first comment information and the second comment information may be the same or different comment information on the target media content.

[0062] The first preset number may be the preset display number of the first comment information. The second preset number may be the preset display number of the second comment information. Both the first preset number and the second preset number can be set based on demand, and in this embodiment, the numerical values of the first preset number and the second preset number are not limited. As an example, when the area size of the third area is larger than the area size of the second area, the second preset number may be larger than the first preset number. When the number of comment information including the sub-comment information of the target media content is equal to or greater than the first preset number / second preset number, the number of the first comment information / second comment information displayed in the second area / third area is the same as the first preset number / second preset number. When the number of comment information including the sub-comment information of the target media content is less than the first preset number / second preset number, the number of the first comment information / second comment information displayed in the second area / third area is less than the first preset number / second preset number.

[0063] m may be the number of sub-comment information preset for each first comment information. n may be the number of sub-comment information preset for each second comment information. Both m and n can be set based on demand. This embodiment does not limit the values of m and n. As an example, when the area size of the third area is larger than the area size of the second area, n may be larger than m. For each first comment information, if the number of sub-comment information included in this first comment information is m or more, m sub-comment information of this first comment information may be displayed. If the number of sub-comment information included in this first comment information is less than m, the number of sub-comment information for the first comment information to be displayed may be less than m. For each second comment information, if the number of sub-comment information included in this second comment information is n or more, n sub-comment information of this second comment information may be displayed. If the number of sub-comment information included in this second comment information is less than n, the number of sub-comment information for this second comment information to be displayed may be less than n.

[0064] In this embodiment, the comment information for the target media content has different sorting orders when displayed in the second area and when displayed in the third area. That is, when displaying the comment information for the target media content in the second area and the third area, the comment information for the target media content can be arranged in different ways. For example, when displaying comment information in the second area, multiple comment information for the target media content can be arranged according to the attention levels of the multiple comment information. When displaying comment information in the third area, multiple comment information for the target media content can be arranged according to the attention levels of the multiple comment information and the value evaluations of the multiple comment information, etc. Also, the sorting weight of a specific type of comment information (for example, comment information containing only @ content and / or comment information containing only emoticon pictures, etc.) can be reduced, or a specific type of comment information can be arranged at the end of the sorting order.

[0065] In one embodiment, after displaying comment information for the target media content in a second area of the media content playback page, in response to a sub-comment information viewing operation in the second area, further comprising the step of additionally displaying a target number of preset sub-comment information in the second area, and / or after displaying comment information for the target media content in the third area, in response to a sub-comment information viewing operation acting in the third area, further comprising the step of additionally displaying a target number of preset sub-comment information in the third area. Here, the target sub-comment information is sub-comment information of third comment information that is the target of the sub-comment information viewing operation, and the third preset number is different from the fourth preset number.

[0066] In the above embodiment, when receiving a sub-comment information viewing operation, the number of sub-comment information additionally displayed in the second area may be different from the number of sub-comment information additionally displayed in the third area. For example, when receiving a sub-comment information viewing operation for one piece of comment information displayed in the second area in the second area, a target number of preset sub-comment information may be additionally displayed for the comment information, and when receiving a sub-comment information viewing operation for one piece of comment information displayed in the third area in the third area, a target number of preset sub-comment information may be additionally displayed for the comment information.
