[0022] In the description of this application, the numerical designations preceding each step do not indicate the order in which the steps are performed, but are merely there to facilitate the description of this application and the distinction between each step. Therefore, please understand that these should not be considered limitations on this application.

[0023] First, we provide an interpretation of the terms used in this application.

[0024] "Danmaku" refers to content such as text, emojis, images, and animations that pop up when watching videos over a network and move along a predetermined direction. There is no established English term for "danmaku," and it is usually called "comment," "danmaku," "barrage," "bullet screen," or "bullet-screen comment." While danmaku allows video viewers to post comments and reactions, unlike typical video sharing sites where comments are only displayed in a dedicated comment section below the player, danmaku is displayed in real time on the video screen as sliding subtitles, ensuring that all viewers can notice them.

[0025] For example, the data structure of a bullet pattern is: { Time displayed in the video (in seconds); Type of bullet pattern; Size of the bullet hell text; The color of the bullet hell text; Date the bullet pattern was created; The class name of the bullet hell pattern; Bullet hell content (e.g., text, images, controls); Whether or not the bullet patterns have borders; The color of the bullet hell frame; The style of spacing between lines in a bullet hell pattern; It can be expressed as}.

[0026] Candidate comments: Comments sent by viewers while watching multimedia content.

[0027] Martian language: This refers to a writing system incomprehensible to Earthlings, composed of symbols, unusual characters, or denormalized characters such as parts of Chinese characters. Martian language is a writing system developed by young internet users to express their individuality, using a large number of homonyms, similar-sounding characters, and special symbols to represent sounds. Such a writing system differs significantly from everyday writing systems, and its grammar is quite unusual, hence the name "Martian language."

[0028] The embodiments of this application provide a technical solution for displaying bullet patterns. In this technical solution, by switching text styles, multiple candidate bullet patterns are displayed in bullet pattern format in the multimedia display area, thereby achieving a display effect in which the text style of the bullet patterns changes, improving the interactivity and playability of the bullet patterns and enhancing the user experience. Further details will be described later.

[0029] Finally, for ease of understanding, an example operating environment is provided below.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1, the operating environment diagram includes service platform 2 and the client.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Figure 2 schematically shows a flowchart of the bullet barrage display method according to Embodiment 1 of this application.

[0043] As shown in Figure 2, the bullet display method may include the following steps S200 to S206, of which, Step S200 displays a multimedia display area for displaying multimedia content.

[0044] In step S202, multiple candidate bullet patterns corresponding to the multimedia content are obtained.

[0045] In step S204, in response to the text style switching command, the text style of the multiple candidate bullet patterns is switched from the first text style to the second text style.

[0046] In step S206, the second text style is used to display a plurality of candidate bullet patterns in bullet pattern format in the multimedia display area.

[0047] By switching the text style of multiple candidate bullet patterns from a first text style to a second text style, and using the second text style to display the multiple candidate bullet patterns in bullet pattern format in the multimedia display area, a display effect in which the text style of the bullet patterns changes is achieved, improving the interactivity and playability of the bullet patterns and enhancing the user experience.

[0048] Steps S200 to S206 and other optional steps will be described in detail below.

[0049] Step S200 displays a multimedia display area for displaying multimedia content.

[0050] The multimedia display area may be an area or combination of areas on the screen of a device for displaying multimedia content, and may include a player, controls, and / or other display elements, such as play / pause, volume control, playback speed, progress bar, and / or bullet comment settings. The multimedia display area may be full screen, quarter screen, half screen, three-quarter screen, etc. The player may support various video types, such as live streaming, on-demand content, movies, television programs, user-uploaded videos, animations, etc.

[0051] The aforementioned multimedia content may include live video, on-demand video, images, various types of text (e.g., news, novels, etc.), music, etc.

[0052] In step S202, multiple candidate bullet patterns corresponding to the multimedia content are obtained.

[0053] Multimedia content is associated with comments, messages, or interactive content (candidate comments) posted by viewers when they view the multimedia content. Candidate comments may be all comments in the relevant comment pool, or a selection of comments from the comment pool. The selection criteria may include random selection, viewer level, comment type, prohibited words, posting time, etc.

[0054] In step S204, in response to the text style switching command, the text style of the multiple candidate bullet patterns is switched from the first text style to the second text style.

[0055] A text style switching command is a command that triggers a switch in the text style of a candidate bullet pattern from a first text style to a second text style. This style switching command may be triggered and generated when the user actively clicks a text style switching control (e.g., a button) displayed in the multimedia display area, or it may be triggered and generated when a pre-configured automatic control program automatically clicks a text style switching control displayed in the multimedia display area, or it may be generated when a pre-configured control program directly generates the style switching command.

[0056] The aforementioned text style refers to the visual representation method used when text characters in candidate bullet patterns are displayed in the multimedia display area, and includes attributes such as language, font, size, color, layout, line spacing, character spacing, and variant character conversion.

[0057] In a selective embodiment, the first text style is the default text style, and the second text style is a variant style, such as the Martian style.

[0058] The default text style refers to pre-configured text characters, such as Mincho font, size 5, and black Chinese characters.

[0059] Variant character styles refer to variant characters converted from Chinese characters. These variant characters are all special characters / symbols pre-configured to have a correspondence with Chinese characters, such as Martian characters. In some embodiments, they may be converted Eskimo characters, oracle bone script, etc.

[0060] In this embodiment, the effect of displaying Martian language bullet patterns is achieved by switching the text style of the candidate bullet patterns from the first text style to a Martian language style or the like.

[0061] In a selective embodiment, see Figure 3, the text style switching command is: Step S300, which displays the text style switching control, This is obtained by step S302, which generates the text style switching command in response to a trigger operation on the text style switching control.

[0062] The text style switching control may be displayed in any area of ​​the multimedia display area, for example, in the center of the multimedia display area, in the upper right corner of the multimedia display area, or outside the multimedia display area.

[0063] The text style switching control may consist of a single text style switching icon, or it may consist of a single text style switching icon and a description of the switching icon. The text style switching icon may be any icon, for example, a Mars icon. The description of the switching icon may be any description, for example, the description of the switching icon may be "Go to Mars".

[0064] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the text style switching icon and its description can change according to the user's click operation. For example, the text style switching icon is initially a Mars icon, and the description is initially "Go to Mars". When the user clicks the text style switching control, the text style switching icon changes from a Mars icon to an Earth icon, and at the same time, the description changes from "Go to Mars" to "Return to Earth".

[0065] The trigger operation may be a single click, a double click, a swipe, or the like.

[0066] In this embodiment, displaying a text style switching control makes it easier for users to flexibly control the display style of the bullet hell text.

[0067] In a selective embodiment, the text style switching control has a pre-set display time period.

[0068] The aforementioned display time period is a pre-set time period that triggers the display of the text style switching control. For example, if the display time period is from 14:00 to 16:00 on December 18, 2024, the text style switching control will only be displayed within that time period and will not be displayed outside of it.

[0069] Step S300 may include popping up the text style switching control at a predetermined position if the current time falls within the display time period.

[0070] In actual applications, during playback of multimedia content, it is determined whether the current time falls within the display time period. If it is determined that the current time falls within the display time period, a text style switching control pops up at a predetermined location. This predetermined location may be located within the multimedia display area or outside the multimedia display area.

[0071] In this embodiment, by displaying the text style switching control only during the display period, it is possible to avoid the control occupying the display screen for extended periods, thereby improving the user experience. The text style switching control may also be triggered and pop up based on other conditions. For example, it may pop up in real time based on the user's voice (including keywords).

[0072] In a selective embodiment, the method is The method further includes the step of hiding the text style switching control if the current time exceeds the display time period.

[0073] In this embodiment, by hiding the text style switching control, it is possible to avoid the control occupying the display screen during non-specific time periods.

[0074] In a selective embodiment, the method is The method further includes the step of switching the display state of the text style switching control from a first state to a second state when the text style switching control is triggered.

[0075] The first state and the second state are two different display states. The difference between these two states may be that the color of the text style switching control is different, that the text style switching icon included in the text style switching control is different, that the descriptive words for the switching icon included in the text style switching control are different, or that both the text style switching icon and the descriptive words for the switching icon included in the text style switching control are different.

[0076] In this embodiment, the state before and after a trigger operation is performed on the text style switching control is represented using two types of display states, allowing the user to easily distinguish whether or not to perform a trigger operation on the text style switching control.

[0077] In a selective embodiment, the multimedia content is live video, and the text style switching command is obtained by an operation that generates the text style switching command when the live time of the live video reaches a predetermined live point in time.

[0078] The aforementioned live time can be set and modified in advance depending on the actual situation.

[0079] For example, if the live time is December 18, 2024, at 8:00 PM, the system detects whether the current live time will become December 18, 2024, at 8:00 PM during playback of the live video. When the live time becomes December 18, 2024, at 8:00 PM, the text style switching command is automatically generated, and thereafter, all candidate bullet comments sent from that point onward are displayed in bullet comment format in the multimedia display area using the second text style.

[0080] In a selective embodiment, the multimedia content is on-demand video, and the text style switching command is When the playback progress of the on-demand video reaches a predetermined playback point, the text style switching command is generated, or When the playback progress of the on-demand video is adjusted to fall within a predetermined playback progress interval, this is obtained by the operation that generates the text style switching command.

[0081] The predetermined playback time and predetermined playback progress interval can be set and modified in advance according to the actual situation.

[0082] For example, if a predetermined playback point is the 20th minute of multimedia content playback, the system detects whether the current playback progress reaches the 20-minute mark during playback of the on-demand video. When the current playback progress reaches the 20-minute mark, the text style switching command is automatically generated, and thereafter, all of the candidate bullet comments associated with that playback progress are displayed in bullet comment format in the multimedia display area using the second text style.

[0083] For example, if a predetermined playback progress interval is 30 to 50 minutes of multimedia content playback, dragging the playback progress of the on-demand video to 40 minutes during playback will determine whether the adjusted playback progress is within the predetermined playback progress interval. Since the 40th minute falls within the 30 to 50 minute timeframe, it can be determined that the adjusted playback progress is within the predetermined playback progress interval. At this time, the text style switching command is automatically generated, and subsequently, all candidate bullet comments associated with the 40 to 50 minute interval are displayed in bullet comment format in the multimedia display area using the second text style. For candidate bullet comments associated with the 50 minute interval and beyond, the default setting allows for normal display; that is, the first text style is used to display the candidate bullet comments associated with the 50 minute interval and beyond in bullet comment format in the multimedia display area.

[0084] In this embodiment, by setting the generation timing of corresponding text style switching commands for live video and on-demand video, the text style switching commands can be automatically generated for both live video and on-demand video, improving applicability.

[0085] In step S206, the second text style is used to display a plurality of candidate bullet patterns in bullet pattern format in the multimedia display area.

[0086] In actual applications, when using the second text style to display multiple candidate bullet patterns in bullet pattern format in the multimedia display area, the second text style can be used only for multiple candidate bullet patterns that are not yet displayed, without performing text style conversion on the candidate bullet patterns currently displayed in the multimedia display area.

[0087] In another embodiment, candidate bullet patterns currently displayed in the multimedia display area can also be displayed in the second text style within the multimedia display area until they slide out of the multimedia display area.

[0088] As described above, by switching the text style of multiple candidate bullet patterns from the first text style to the second text style, and using the second text style to display the multiple candidate bullet patterns in bullet pattern format in the multimedia display area, a display effect in which the text style of the bullet patterns changes is achieved, improving the interactivity and playability of the bullet patterns and enhancing the user experience.

[0089] To make this application easier to understand, illustrative application examples are provided below with reference to Figure 6.

[0090] Step S600 displays a multimedia display area for displaying multimedia content.

[0091] In step S602, when the multimedia content is played to a predetermined first playback progress, the display of the text style switching control is started. The first playback progress is the progress to start displaying the text style switching control, and the first predetermined progress is the 10-minute mark.

[0092] In step S604, in response to the text style switching command, the text style of the multiple candidate bullet patterns is switched from the first text style to the second text style. For example, a Chinese sentence is converted to a Martian sentence or an Oracle Bone Script sentence.

[0093] In step S606, the second text style is used to display a plurality of candidate bullet patterns in bullet pattern format in the multimedia display area.

[0094] In step S608, when the multimedia content is played to a predetermined second playback progress, the normal display of candidate barrages following the multimedia content is resumed in the multimedia display area without continuing to display the text style switching control. The second playback progress is the progress of the text style switching control's display completion, and the second predetermined progress is the 20-minute mark.
