DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0033] Hereinafter, various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that, unless otherwise specified, the relative arrangements, mathematical formulas, and numerical values of the members and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0034] Also, for the sake of convenience of explanation, it should be understood that the dimensions of each part shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn in actual proportional relationships.

[0035] Hereinafter, the description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually just for description and should never be construed as any limitation to the present disclosure and its application or use.

[0036] Although the techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be described in detail, when appropriate, the techniques, methods, and devices should be regarded as part of the specification.

[0037] In all of the examples shown and described herein, any specific values are not to be construed as limiting, but rather should be construed as illustrative only. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0038] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following attached drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in a particular attached drawing, there is no need to further explain it in subsequent attached drawings.

[0039] The inventors of the present disclosure have found that the related art above has problems such as low content push efficiency and deterioration of the experience of browsing users.

[0040] In view of this, the present disclosure proposes a technical solution for audio playback that can improve the experience of browsing users by improving content push efficiency.

[0041] FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of some embodiments of the playback method of the present disclosure.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 1, in step 110, when a browsing user views audio content in a media stream, an audio clip of the audio content is played for the browsing user. For example, the media stream includes a plurality of media contents, and the media content includes at least one of video content, audio content, image content, and text content.

[0043] For example, a content poster on a media push platform may determine an audio clip of the audio content to be posted. The audio clip may be the most exciting part of the audio content to which it belongs. When a browsing user views the audio content, instead of playing the complete audio for the browsing user, the audio clip is played. On the one hand, it can attract the browsing user more quickly, and on the other hand, it can help the browsing user find the audio content they are interested in more quickly. Thereby, the content push efficiency is improved and the experience of the browsing user is improved.

[0044] For example, the audio clip and the complete audio belong to one audio file and share the statistical data of the audio file, such as like data, favorite data, listening data, etc.

[0045] In some embodiments, in response to the posting user inputting cut-out information for the complete audio, visualization content having a first predetermined control for switching from playing the audio clip corresponding to the cut-out information to playing the complete audio is generated, and in response to the posting operation of the posting user, the audio content including the visualization content is posted to the media stream. When the browsing user views the visualization content, the audio clip is played for the browsing user.

[0046] For example, first, the complete audio is obtained. The complete audio is, for example, uploaded by the posting user from the terminal local or obtained from the network. The method of obtaining from the network is, for example, obtaining from the cloud or obtaining through the RSS source link input by the posting user.

[0047] For example, in response to the submitting user inputting clipping information for complete audio, visualization content of the audio clip corresponding to the clipping information is generated. The visualization content has a first predetermined control for jumping to the complete audio.

[0048] For example, the clipping information is for identifying the start and end of the audio clip that the submitting user wants to clip. For example, the clipping information includes the start time point and the end time point of the audio clip, or includes the start time point and the duration of the audio clip, or includes the end time point and the duration of the audio clip, etc.

[0049] For example, the submitting user inputs the numerical value and sign of the clipping information via an input box.

[0050] For example, the submitting user determines the clipping information by controlling a movement control in the track area of the complete audio. The movement control is for identifying the start position and the end position of the audio clip.

[0051] For example, in response to the submitting user starting to edit an audio clip, an audio clip editing interface is displayed. The audio clip editing interface includes the track area of the complete audio, a first movement control, and a second movement control. The first movement control and the second movement control are respectively for identifying the start position and the end position of the audio clip in the track area. In response to the submitting user finishing editing the audio clip, the playback time points corresponding to the first movement control and the second movement control are used as the clipping information for the complete audio.

[0052] For example, the visualized content may be video content, or may be multimedia content whose playback effect is similar to that of a video. For example, it includes multimedia content in which moving images and audio are played simultaneously. The first predetermined control may be provided on the playback interface of the visualized content.

[0053] For example, the visualized content includes description information of the audio clip. The description information includes, for example, at least one of a title, a jacket image, or a text description. Also, a background, an animation effect, etc. may be generated. These information, background, animation, etc. may be automatically generated or edited by the poster, and then synthesized with the audio clip to generate visualized content.

[0054] For example, before posting the visualized content of the audio clip, a preview of the visualized content of the audio clip is displayed. Thereby, the poster can adjust the audio clip or other information for generating the visualized content according to the effect of the preview.

[0055] For example, in response to the posting operation of the posting user, the audio content of the audio clip is posted to a media stream (Feed), and the audio content includes the visualized content. The media stream includes a plurality of multimedia contents. The browsing user can sequentially view the multimedia contents in the media stream by a switching operation. The multimedia contents include, for example, videos, image texts, audios, etc.

[0056] According to the above embodiments, the posting user can select and post a part of the complete audio, for example, select and post the most attractive highlight in the complete audio. Thereby, when the browsing user views the visualization content corresponding to the audio clip, the user can more easily and quickly understand the content of the complete audio, and can jump to the playback interface of the complete audio when interested. Therefore, the above embodiments increase the playback entries of the audio, improve the information acquisition efficiency of the viewers on the one hand, and increase the click-through rate of the creator's audio on the other hand.

[0057] For example, the media stream includes a short video stream, an image-text set, an audio stream, etc. In response to the posting operation of the posting user, the visualization content of the audio clip is posted to the short video stream, and the complete audio is posted to the audio stream.

[0058] The short video stream is a stream that is easy for browsing users to obtain information. It includes a plurality of short videos and visualization content, and the length of each video and visualization content is smaller than a predetermined value. When browsing the short video stream, what the browsing user views is the short video and visualization content pushed by the system. For example, when the browsing user performs a gesture operation such as swiping up or swiping down, what is viewed may be a short video, or may be the visualization content of the audio clip posted according to the above-described embodiments.

[0059] The audio stream includes a plurality of audios, and adjacent audios are, for example, works in the same album. Compared with the media content in the short video stream, most of the audio works in the audio stream have a long duration.

[0060] The above embodiments construct a channel between a short video stream and an audio stream, and utilize the characteristics of the short video stream, namely, concentrated information volume and high information density, to attract viewers to view the visual content of the audio clip, and guide the browsing users to the audio stream. Thereby, it facilitates the browsing users to switch between different categories of media.

[0061] For example, the posting user may trigger the creation and posting of an audio clip by selecting a creation control. For example, in response to the posting user's operation on the creation control, an upload page is displayed. The upload page includes a video upload control and an audio upload control. In response to the posting user's selection of the audio upload control, an audio upload interface is displayed.

[0062] The creation tool in the above embodiments supports both video posting and the posting of visual content of audio. Thereby, the creation tool is applicable to scenarios where video streams and audio streams coexist, for example, scenarios where visual content of audio clips is posted to a short video stream.

[0063] In some embodiments, when a browsing user views audio content, a first predetermined control is displayed in a first form, and after a predetermined time, the first predetermined control is displayed in a second form, where the second form is for guiding the browsing user to perform a first predetermined operation.

[0064] For example, the first form is a first predetermined color, and the second form is a second predetermined color. Or, the shape corresponding to the first form of the first predetermined control is different from the shape corresponding to the second form. Or, the transparency of the first form is higher than that of the second form.

[0065] For example, the above technical solution may be realized according to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2a to 2b.

[0066] FIG. 2a shows a schematic diagram of some embodiments of the playback interface of the present disclosure.

[0067] As shown in FIG. 2a, when an audio clip is played, the first predetermined control 2a is for playing the complete audio. For example, the first predetermined control 2a includes text information to guide the browsing user to tap, such as information like "Play now" and the total duration of the complete audio. When the browsing user has just browsed the audio content, the first predetermined control 2a in the playback interface is arranged to be colorless and translucent.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 2b, when the duration of time that the browsing user has browsed the playback interface exceeds a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds, etc.), the first predetermined control 2a is switched to and displayed as the first predetermined control 2b. For example, the color of the first predetermined control 2a may be arranged to be a translucent first predetermined color, and the color of the first predetermined control 2b may be arranged to be an opaque second predetermined color.

[0069] For example, the playback interface may include controls such as an avatar button of the audio poster, a like button, a comment button, a favorite button, and a share button.

[0070] In some embodiments, the audio content includes visualization content, and the playback interface of the audio content of the visualization content includes at least one of a jacket image of an audio album to which the audio content belongs or related text content of the audio content. For example, the playback interface shown in FIGS. 2a-2b includes a jacket image of an audio album and corresponding text content of the audio content, and may further include related information of the audio content submitter (for example, the browsing username, etc.).

[0071] For example, the animation effect of the background of the playback interface may be set by the submitter of the audio content. The title of the playback interface is set by the submitter and may be the title of the audio content by default. For example, a jacket image may be obtained based on the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of RSS (Really Simple Syndication) audio content. Text content may be obtained based on the URL of RSS audio content.

[0072] In some embodiments, the background color of the playback interface of the audio content is determined based on the colors included in the jacket image of the audio album to which the audio content belongs. For example, the background color of the playback interface shown in FIGS. 2a-2b includes the colors appearing in the jacket image.

[0073] In some embodiments, when an audio clip is played, in response to the browsing user performing a third predetermined operation, it switches to and plays other media content in the media stream. The media stream includes content of other categories different from the audio content. For example, the content of other categories includes at least one of image·text content or video content.

[0074] For example, when the browsing user swipes up on the playback interface shown in FIGS. 2a-2b, the media content preceding the audio content in the media stream may be switched and displayed. When swiping down, the media content following the audio content in the media stream may be switched and displayed.

[0075] In some embodiments, in response to the browsing user performing a second predetermined operation, the complete audio of the audio content is added to the browsing user's favorite content. For example, in response to the browsing user performing a second predetermined operation on a second predetermined control in the playback interface of the audio content, the complete audio of the audio content is added to the browsing user's favorite content.

[0076] For example, the second predetermined control may include text information, such as "listen later", and other information used for function descriptions. When the browsing user taps the second predetermined control, the complete audio is added to the browsing user's favorite content. The browsing user may play the complete audio in a favorite function module such as "My Audio".

[0077] In step 120, in response to the browsing user performing a first predetermined operation, the complete audio of the audio content is played for the browsing user. In some embodiments, in response to the browsing user performing a first predetermined operation on a first predetermined control in the playback interface of the audio content, the complete audio is played. For example, when the browsing user taps the first predetermined control, the complete audio continues to be played based on the current playback progress of the audio clip.

[0078] For example, the above technical solution may be realized according to the embodiment of FIG. 3.

[0079] Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of some other embodiments of the playback interface of the present disclosure.

[0080] As shown in Figure 3, when the browsing user taps the first predetermined control in Figures 2a - 2b, it switches to the playback interface in Figure 3. The playback interface includes playback controls for audio content, and the playback controls include related information of the audio content such as a playback progress bar, the progress of the current playback, and the total duration of the audio content.

[0081] In some embodiments, when the complete audio is played, in response to the browsing user performing a fourth predetermined operation, it switches to and plays other audio content in the audio album to which the audio content belongs, or audio content in another audio album.

[0082] For example, the fourth predetermined operation includes a first switching operation and a second switching operation. In response to the browsing user performing the first switching operation, it switches to and plays other audio content in the audio album to which the audio content belongs, and in response to the browsing user performing the second switching operation, it switches to and plays audio content in another audio album.

[0083] For example, both the first switching operation and the second switching operation are swipe operations, and the swipe directions of the first switching operation and the second switching operation are different.

[0084] For example, in the playback interface of FIG. 3, in response to a swiping-up operation by the browsing user, the previous audio content in the audio album where the current audio content is located is played for the browsing user, and in response to a swiping-down operation by the browsing user, the next audio content in the audio album where the current audio content is located is played for the browsing user. In response to an operation where the browsing user swipes left or right, audio content in another audio album is played for the browsing user.

[0085] In the above embodiment, when performing an audio content push in the media stream, first an audio clip is played for the browsing user, and after the browsing user performs an operation, the complete audio is played for the browsing user. In this way, the browsing user can confirm whether they are interested in the audio content in a short time. Thereby, it is possible to easily determine whether to push the complete audio to the browsing user, improve the content push efficiency, and improve the experience of the browsing user.
