[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Although several 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 intended to be illustrative only.

[0011] The steps recited in the method embodiments of the present disclosure may be performed in different orders and / or in parallel. Also, the method embodiments may include additional steps and / or omit performance of steps as shown. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0012] As used herein, the term "comprises" and variations thereof are open-ended, i.e., "comprises." The term "based on" means "based at least in part on." The term "in one embodiment" means "at least one embodiment," the term "in another embodiment" means "at least one other embodiment," and the term "in some embodiments" means "at least some embodiments." Relevant definitions of other terms are provided below.

[0013] The concepts of "first", "second", etc. referred to in this disclosure are used only to distinguish between different devices, modules or units, and do not limit the order or interdependence of the functions performed by these devices, modules or units.

[0014] The modifications "a" and "a plurality" referred to in this disclosure are exemplary and not limiting, and should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to mean "one or more," unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0015] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the names of messages or information exchanged between 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, the user shall be notified of the type of personal information to be disclosed, the scope of use, and the usage scenario, etc., in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and consent shall be obtained from the user in an appropriate manner.

[0017] For example, in response to receiving a user's voluntary 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, so that the user can independently choose whether or not to provide personal information to software or hardware, such as an electronic device, application, server, or storage medium, that performs the operation of the technical solution of the present disclosure, based on the prompt information.

[0018] In one implementation, the method for transmitting prompt information to the user in response to receiving a voluntary user request may be a pop-up window method that presents the prompt information in the form of text in a pop-up window, and the pop-up window may further carry an option control for the user to select "agree" or "disagree" to providing personal information to the electronic device.

[0019] The above notification and user authorization obtaining process is merely a general outline and is not intended to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure, and other methods that comply with relevant laws and regulations may be applied to implementing the present disclosure.

[0020] 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for controlling media content provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be performed by an apparatus for controlling media content. The apparatus can be implemented by software and / or hardware and can be configured 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 scenario in which comment information on the media content is viewed when the media content is being played.

[0021] When a user triggers a video comment control during video playback to view the comment content of a video currently being played in an application, the application typically continues playing the video while displaying the comment content. The video playback easily interrupts the user's viewing of the comment content, preventing the user from immersively viewing the comment content of the video. In this case, to immersively view the comment content of the video, the user must first 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, the user must retrigger the video comment control to instruct the application to redisplay the comment content of the video. This is a cumbersome method of pausing a video.

[0022] Based on this, the media content control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can solve the technical problem of not being able to immersively view the comment content of a video when triggering comment control to view comment information during video playback, and the technical problem of pausing the video playback in a more cumbersome manner after displaying the comment content of a video, and can provide convenience for users to immersively view the comment content.

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

[0024] The media content playback page may be a page for playing media content, such as a video playback page. The first area may be an area used to play media content on the media content playback page, such as a main display area of ​​the media content playback page or a sub-area in the main display area of ​​the media content playback page. For example, the first area may be the main display area of ​​the media content playback page, and the media content page may be a playback page in which the entire main display area is a display area for media content. The target media content may be media content currently being played on the media content playback page, and the media content may be, for example, graphic content or video content. This embodiment does not limit the type of target media content.

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

[0026] S102: In response to a comment display operation for the target media content, comment information for the target media content is displayed in a second area of ​​the media content playback page.

[0027] The comment display operation may be a trigger operation for instructing the display of comment content for the target media content, for example, an operation for triggering comment control for the target media content. The second area may be a display area for comment information for the target media content. This second area may have an area overlapping with the first area, i.e., the display of comment information for the target media content will obscure the first area to some extent. In other words, this embodiment can control the media content played in a scene where the main display area can be used for playing the 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 a user has triggered a comment control for the target media content displayed on the media content playback page during the playback process of the target media content (i.e., when the target media content is in a playback state), the playback of the target media content may be maintained and the comment information for the target media content may be displayed in the second area 30 of the media content playback page so that the user can view and / or comment on the target media content, 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] In addition, when displaying comment information on the target media content in the second area, the playback of the target media content may be maintained, for example, by 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, which 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 a target trigger operation on the media content playback page, pause the playback of the target media content, and maintain the display of comment information for the target media content.

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

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

[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 and playback of the target media content is maintained; and when a target trigger operation is received, playback of the target media content is paused and the display of 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, and playback of the target media content is not automatically paused when the comment information of the target media content is displayed. This meets the user's needs to view the comment information of the target media content while watching the target media content, and when the user wants to immersively view the comment information, it meets the user's needs to immersively view the comment information of the target media content, thereby avoiding the playback of the target media content interfering with the user's viewing of the comment information of the target media content and improving the user experience.

[0034] In this embodiment, the target trigger operation acts on a first control that is fixedly displayed on the media content playback page and that may be displayed when displaying comment information on the target media content playback page, such as when a comment display operation for the target media content is received, to meet the user's need to pause the playback of the target media content, and at the same time, by fixedly displaying the first control on the media content page, it is possible to avoid obscuring the target media content on the screen. In this case, the media content control method provided in this embodiment may further include displaying a first control on the media content playback page for triggering execution of the target trigger operation in response to a 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 includes 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. The preset adjustment control may be used to trigger an adjustment to the display of comment information on the target media content, such as adjusting the display area and / or display size of the comment information. By way of example, the preset adjustment control may include an area adjustment control, which may be used to trigger the execution of an area adjustment operation on the comment information of the target media content.

[0036] 3, when a comment display operation for the target media content is received, comment information for the target media content may be displayed in the second region 30 of the media content playback page, and a first control 31 may be displayed, such as 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 region 30 or outside the second region 30.

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

[0038] The display method and timing of the playback control may be flexibly configured. For example, in response to a comment display operation for the target media content, a playback pause control and a playback control for the target media content may be simultaneously displayed, or in response to a target trigger operation, a playback control for the target media content may be displayed. For example, the playback control for the target media content may be displayed while the display of the playback pause control for the target media content is maintained, or the playback control for the target media content may be displayed while the display of the playback pause control for the target media content is canceled, such as by switching the display of the playback pause control for the target media content to the playback control for the target media content.

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

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

[0041] In the above embodiment, in the triggering 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, a scaling ratio of the second area / comment information is determined based on the sliding distance / number of continuous taps / long press duration of the target gesture operation, and the second area (e.g., a comment panel) and / or the comment information displayed in the second area is scaled based on the scaling ratio 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, the target gesture operation may include a target slide operation to adjust the region size of the second region and / or the display size of the comment information in the second region based on the sliding distance of the target slide operation. For example, a scaling ratio of the second region / comment information is determined according to the sliding distance of the target slide operation, and the second region and / or the comment information displayed in the second region is scaled according to the scaling ratio. In this case, the target gesture operation includes a target slide operation, and the step of adjusting the region size of the second region and / or the display size of the comment information in the second region based on the target gesture operation includes adjusting the region size of the second region and / or the display size of the comment information in the second region based on the sliding distance of the target slide operation. Here, the target slide operation may include a sliding operation along a preset direction or a sliding operation with multiple fingers. The sliding operation with multiple fingers may include, for example, a zooming operation with multiple fingers and / or a pinching operation with multiple fingers.

[0043] The present embodiment provides a method for controlling media content, including the steps of: playing the target media content in a first area of ​​a media content playback page; displaying comment information for the target media content in a second area of ​​the media content playback page in response to a comment display operation for the target media content; and pausing the playback of the target media content and maintaining the display of the comment information for the target media content in response to a target trigger operation on the media content playback page. By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the present embodiment includes, in the process of playing the target media content, displaying comment information for the target media content and maintaining the playback of the target media content when a comment display operation is received; and pausing the playback of the target media content and maintaining the display of the comment information for the target media content when a target trigger operation is received, thereby avoiding the playback of the target media content from interfering with the viewing of the comment information for the target media content, thereby meeting various needs of users in viewing comment information, and improving the user experience.

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

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

[0046] The method further includes a step of pausing the playback of the target media content and / or maintaining the display of comment information for the target media content, and then canceling the display of the comment information and maintaining the pause of the playback of the target media content or continuing the playback of the target media content in response to a display cancellation operation for the comment information.

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

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

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

[0050] In this embodiment, upon receiving a target trigger operation, the playback of the target media content may be paused, and the second area may continue to display comment information for the target media content.

[0051] Taking the target trigger operation 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, and when the playback pause operation is triggered, the playback of the target media content is paused and the comment information for the target media content is maintained in the second area; 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, and when the playback pause operation is triggered, the playback of the target content is paused and the second area and / or the comment information are restored to their original sizes before receiving the playback pause operation.

[0052] In this embodiment, after pausing playback of the target media content, the user may adjust the display area for comment information for the target media content by performing an area adjustment operation. In this case, the method further includes, after maintaining the display of the comment information for the target media content in the second area, adjusting the second area to a third area in response to the area adjustment operation on the media content playback page, and displaying the comment information for the target media content in the third area. For example, upon receiving an area adjustment operation on the media content playback page, the method may adjust and display the comment information for the target media content in the third area, such as adjusting the second area to the third area and displaying the comment information for the target media content in the third area.

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

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

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

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

[0057] For example, when an area adjustment operation on a media content playback page is received, the process of triggering the area adjustment operation does not adjust the display area of ​​the comment information and / or the size of the comment information in the second area 30, or the process of triggering the area adjustment operation adjusts the area size and / or the display size of the comment information in the second area 30. Then, as shown in Figure 5, when the area adjustment operation is triggered, the playback of the target media content is paused, the second area 30 (as shown in Figure 3) is adjusted to the third area 50, and the comment information for the target media content is displayed in the third area 50, for example.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the adjustment method for adjusting the second region to the third region can be flexibly configured, such as by scaling the second region to adjust the second region to the third region. The second region can also be expanded to the third region, i.e., the region size of the second region can be expanded to obtain the third region. In this case, the step of adjusting the display region of the comment information from the second region to the third region and pausing the playback of the target media content in response to the region adjustment operation on the media content playback page described above includes the step of expanding the second region to the third region and pausing the playback of the target media content in response to the region adjustment operation on a preset adjustment control.

[0059] In this embodiment, the methods for displaying information in the second and third areas may be the same or different. The method for displaying information in the second area may be different from the method for displaying information in the third area, i.e., information may be displayed in the third area using a method for displaying information that is different from the method for displaying information in the second area. Examples of the method for displaying information include the display size of the information (e.g., font size, etc.), the display style of the information (e.g., color or font, etc.), the information displayed and / or the arrangement of the information, etc. The information includes comment information on the target media content.

[0060] In this embodiment, the second area displays a first preset number of first comment information and m pieces of sub-comment information for the first comment information, and the third area displays a second preset number of second comment information and n pieces of sub-comment information for the second comment information, where 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 area is different from the number of second comment information displayed in the second area, and / or the number of sub-comment information for each first comment information displayed in the second area is different from the number of sub-comment information for each second comment information displayed in the second area.

[0061] The first comment information may be comment information that automatically expands and displays at least one sub-comment information in a second area, and the second comment information may be comment information that automatically expands and displays at least one sub-comment information in a third area, 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 a preset number of pieces of first comment information to be displayed. The second preset number may be a preset number of pieces of second comment information to be displayed. Both the first preset number and the second preset number may be set based on demand, and the present embodiment does not limit the numerical values ​​of the first preset number and the second preset number. For example, if 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. If the number of pieces of comment information including sub-comment information for the target media content is equal to or greater than the first preset number / second preset number, the number of pieces of first comment information / second comment information displayed in the second area / third area is the same as the first preset number / second preset number. If the number of pieces of comment information including sub-comment information for the target media content is less than the first preset number / second preset number, the number of pieces of 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 a preset number of pieces of sub-comment information to be displayed for each piece of first comment information. n may be a preset number of pieces of sub-comment information to be displayed for each piece of second comment information. Both m and n can be set based on needs. This embodiment does not limit the values ​​of m and n. For example, if the area size of the third area is larger than the area size of the second area, n may be greater than m. For each piece of first comment information, if the number of pieces of sub-comment information included in the first comment information is m or more, m pieces of sub-comment information for the first comment information may be displayed. If the number of pieces of sub-comment information included in the first comment information is less than m, the number of pieces of sub-comment information displayed for the first comment information may be less than m. For each piece of second comment information, if the number of pieces of sub-comment information included in the second comment information is n or more, n pieces of sub-comment information for the second comment information may be displayed. If the number of pieces of sub-comment information included in the second comment information is less than n, the number of pieces of sub-comment information displayed for the second comment information is less than n.

[0064] In this embodiment, the comment information for the target media content is sorted differently when displayed in the second area and when displayed in the third area. That is, when comment information for the target media content is displayed in the second area and the third area, the comment information for the target media content can be sorted in different ways. For example, when comment information is displayed in the second area, multiple pieces of comment information for the target media content can be sorted according to the attention level of the multiple pieces of comment information. When comment information is displayed in the third area, multiple pieces of comment information for the target media content can be sorted according to the attention level of the multiple pieces of comment information and the value evaluation of the multiple pieces of comment information. In addition, the sorting weight of certain types of comment information (e.g., comment information including only @ content and / or comment information including only emoticon pictures) can be reduced, or certain types of comment information can be placed at the end of the sorting order.

[0065] In one embodiment, the method further includes a step of, after displaying the comment information for the target media content in a second area of ​​the media content playback page, additionally displaying a third preset number of target sub-comment information in the second area in response to a sub-comment information viewing operation in the second area, and / or, after displaying the comment information for the target media content in the third area, additionally displaying a fourth preset number of target sub-comment information in the third area in response to a sub-comment information viewing operation performed in the third area, wherein the target sub-comment information is sub-comment information of a 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 a sub-comment information viewing operation is received, the number of sub-comment information pieces additionally displayed in the second area may be different from the number of sub-comment information pieces additionally displayed in the third area. For example, when a sub-comment information viewing operation for one comment information piece displayed in the second area is received in the second area, a third preset number of sub-comment information pieces may be additionally displayed in the comment information, and when a sub-comment information viewing operation for one comment information piece displayed in the third area is received in the third area, a fourth preset number of sub-comment information pieces may be additionally displayed in the comment information.
