Furthermore, the method embodiments may include additional steps and / or omit the execution of the indicated steps. The scope of this disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0013] As used herein, the term "including" and its variations are open inclusion, i.e., "including, but not limited to." The term "based on" means "based at least partially." The term "one embodiment" means "at least one embodiment," the term "another embodiment" means "at least one other embodiment," and the term "several embodiments" means "at least several embodiments." Relevant definitions of other terms are given in the following description.

[0014] It should be noted that concepts such as "first" and "second" mentioned in this disclosure are only used to distinguish different devices, modules or units, and are not for limiting the order or interdependence of functions executed by these devices, modules or units.

[0015] It should be noted that the modifications of "one" and "plurality" mentioned in this disclosure are not restrictive but general. As those skilled in the art should understand, unless specifically stated in the context, it should be understood as "one or more".

[0016] The names of messages or information interacted between multiple devices in the embodiments of this disclosure are only for the purpose of description, and do not limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0017] Referring to FIG. 1, a flow of an embodiment of the multimedia information presentation method of this disclosure is shown. The multimedia information presentation method shown in FIG. 1 includes the following steps.

[0018] Step 101, present target multimedia information in the multimedia information stream and present an anthology presentation control.

[0019] Here, the anthology presentation control is used to indicate the multimedia information anthology to which the target multimedia information belongs.

[0020] Present the target multimedia information in the multimedia information stream and present a related multimedia information control for the target multimedia information.

[0021] Here, the multimedia information anthology may include one or more multimedia information. The multimedia anthology may be realized in the form of a multimedia stream. Here, the multimedia information stream may include at least two multimedia information. The term "stream" characterizes a presentation form of a regular layout of information. The multimedia information stream may be called a feed stream, and the feed stream may be understood as an information outlet. The feed stream can present content to the user in the form of an information stream. When establishing a connection with others or information, one can obtain a lot of necessary things just by the operation of updating, and it is always being updated.

[0022] As an example, the multimedia information may include information in at least one form of text, graphics, images, audio, video, and animation.

[0023] It should be noted that the target multimedia information may be any one of the multimedia information in the multimedia information stream. The addition of the word "target" here is for the convenience of explanation and does not specifically refer to anything.

[0024] Step 102: Present relevant multimedia information control for the target multimedia information.

[0025] Here, in the process of presenting the target multimedia information, relevant multimedia information control may be presented. The relevant multimedia information may have a relevant relationship with the target multimedia information. Specifically, the target multimedia information and the relevant multimedia information indicated by the relevant multimedia information control belong to the same multimedia information anthology, that is, the relevant multimedia information indicated by the relevant multimedia information control belongs to the multimedia information anthology.

[0026] The multimedia information anthology here is different from the multimedia information stream described above. For example, the multimedia information anthology may include Video A and Video B, which are the first and second episodes introducing precautions for feeding puppies. The multimedia information stream described above may include Video A and Video A, which is a video introducing natural scenery. Video A and Video A may differ in terms of content or distributor, and the relationship between Video A and Video A may simply be that they are placed together in the same multimedia information stream in this instance.

[0027] Step 103: In response to detecting a trigger operation on the associated multimedia information control, the information content of the associated multimedia information is presented.

[0028] In this case, the information content of the related multimedia information may be presented in response to the detection of a trigger operation on the related multimedia information control.

[0029] For example, when a user clicks on a related multimedia information control, the information content of that related multimedia information can be displayed.

[0030] Selectively, the above information content may include multimedia information screen content.

[0031] Step 104: In response to detecting a trigger operation on the anthology presentation control, an information indicator is presented to indicate the multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology.

[0032] The above informational information may include, but is not limited to, the title, cover page, and distributor.

[0033] As an example, referring to Figure 2A, Figure 2A shows that video A (i.e., target multimedia information) is presented to the presentation interface 201. The anthology presentation control 202 presented to the presentation interface may be used to indicate a multimedia information anthology (i.e., Collection - Puppy Feeding Instructions), and video A belongs to the multimedia information anthology (i.e., Collection - Puppy Feeding Instructions). The related multimedia information control 203 presented to the presentation interface 201 may indicate related multimedia information (e.g., video B) related to video A in the multimedia information anthology (i.e., Collection - Puppy Feeding Instructions).

[0034] As an example, referring to Figure 2C, Figure 2C shows that after the user clicks the multimedia information control 203 in Figure 2A, the presentation interface may present video B, and video B belongs to a multimedia information anthology (i.e., collection - puppy feeding instructions).

[0035] As an example, referring to Figure 2D, Figure 2D shows that after a user clicks the anthology presentation control 202 in Figure 2A, the presentation interface can display information indicators (e.g., Title A, Title B, Title C) of the multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology.

[0036] It should be explained that, in the process of presenting a multimedia information stream, the multimedia information presentation method according to this embodiment can present an anthology presentation control and a related multimedia information control when the presented target multimedia information belongs to a multimedia information anthology and has related multimedia information. When the user triggers the anthology presentation control, they can see the information indicator of the multimedia information in the anthology, and when the user triggers the related multimedia information control, they can be presented with the information content of the multimedia information. As a result, in scenarios where the target multimedia information belongs to a multimedia information anthology, the user's operation path can be reduced, the efficiency of the user viewing related multimedia information can be improved, and the consumption of computing and communication resources can be saved.

[0037] Specifically, in the process of a user viewing target multimedia information belonging to a multimedia information anthology, the user is already aware that the target multimedia information already exists in an anthology related to the content, as indicated by the anthology presentation control prompt, and is likely to desire to view more related multimedia information in the anthology. According to the method of this embodiment, the user can achieve presentation of information content of related multimedia information in a single operation, avoiding the process of the user entering a collection, searching, and then clicking play (at least two operations), or entering the distributor's homepage and then clicking play (at least two operations). This improves the user's operational efficiency and reduces the consumption of computing and communication resources used to present the collection or distributor's homepage.

[0038] In contrast, with the current technology, users can enter a multimedia information anthology stream or personal page by clicking on a corresponding control, but the interaction paths for entering and exiting are relatively long, interrupting the user's continuous viewing experience.

[0039] In some embodiments, the method further includes updating and presenting the information content of the multimedia information in the multimedia information stream to a presentation interface in response to the detection of a first update operation.

[0040] Here, the first update operation described above may be used to update the multimedia information presented in the presentation interface.

[0041] For example, the first update information may include a slide operation. The multimedia information stream may include video A and video A. For example, referring to Figures 2A and 3, when the user performs a slide-up operation in Figure 2A, the presentation interface can switch from presenting video A to presenting video A (as shown in Figure 3).

[0042] In other words, if the user has not triggered a multimedia information control, the playback logic is that the playback queue continues to use the multimedia information stream and, in response to the user's first refresh operation, continues to play the multimedia information from the multimedia information stream.

[0043] It should be explained that if a user does not wish to view the relevant multimedia information, continuing to present multimedia information in the multimedia information stream provides the user with multimedia information other than the multimedia information set, thereby increasing the richness of multimedia information available to the user and enabling the presentation of multimedia information that suits the user's preferences.

[0044] In some embodiments, the method further includes, when presenting the information content of the related multimedia information, updating and presenting the information content of the multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology on the presentation interface in response to detecting a second update operation.

[0045] Here, the second update operation described above may be used to update the multimedia information presented in the presentation interface.

[0046] For example, the second update may include a slide gesture.

[0047] For example, a multimedia information anthology includes video A, video B, and video C. The user triggers the associated multimedia information control to present video B. When presenting video B, the video content of video C from the multimedia information anthology can be presented in response to the detection of a slide-up operation.

[0048] In other words, after the user triggers a multimedia information control, the playback logic is that the playback queue switches from a multimedia information stream to a multimedia information anthology. In response to the user's second refresh operation, the multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology is played.

[0049] It should be explained that when a user chooses to be presented with relevant multimedia information, they may wish to continue viewing other content in the multimedia information anthology. By making the trigger for the multimedia information control a node that switches the playback queue, it is possible to ensure that the update operation after presenting the relevant multimedia information continues, allowing playback of multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology to continue, satisfying the user's needs and saving the user the effort of searching for content they want to watch.

[0050] In some embodiments, the number of associated multimedia information controls is at least one.

[0051] For example, there are two related multimedia information controls: one marked with the words "Previous Episode" and used to jump to and display the multimedia information located one rank above the target multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology; and the other marked with the words "Next Episode" and used to jump to and display the multimedia information located one rank below the target multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology.

[0052] In some embodiments, the associated multimedia information indicated by at least one associated multimedia information control includes at least one of the following: multimedia information that ranks one position above the target multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology, and multimedia information that ranks one position below the target multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology.

[0053] For example, a multimedia information anthology may include Video A, Video B, and Video C. For Video B, Video A is multimedia information ranked one position above Video B in the multimedia information anthology, and Video C is multimedia information ranked one position below Video B in the multimedia information anthology.

[0054] Selectively, the ranking of multimedia information in a multimedia information anthology may correspond to the multimedia information number. The multimedia information number may be obtained by the user during the process of generating the multimedia information anthology, or by sorting according to the upload time.

[0055] To explain this, by presenting at least one relevant multimedia information control, we can provide users with a path to switch to at least one relevant multimedia information, thereby improving the richness of selectable multimedia information, quickly providing users with multimedia information that suits their preferences, and minimizing the user's search costs.

[0056] In some embodiments, the step may include presenting relevant multimedia information controls to the target multimedia information, and presenting the relevant multimedia information controls in response to the satisfaction of predetermined presentation conditions.

[0057] The pre-set conditions presented here may be set according to the actual application scenario, and are not limited thereto.

[0058] In some embodiments, the preset presentation conditions include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: a first time length between the present time and the start time of presentation of the target multimedia information is greater than a first time length threshold; a second time length between the present time and the end time of presentation of the target multimedia information is less than a second time length threshold; the presentation of the target multimedia information begins when the information time length of the target multimedia information is less than a third time length threshold; and the ratio of the first time length between the present time and the start time of presentation of the target multimedia information to the target multimedia information time length is greater than a preset ratio threshold.

[0059] Here, the current time is between the start time of the presentation and the end time of the presentation.

[0060] Selectively, the pre-set presentation conditions may include a first time length between the current time and the start time of presentation of the target multimedia information being greater than a first time length threshold. For example, the relevant multimedia information control may be presented 10 seconds after the start of video playback.

[0061] Selectively, the pre-set presentation conditions may include the condition that the second time length between the current time and the end of presentation of the target multimedia information is less than the second time length threshold. For example, the relevant multimedia information control may be presented when there are 5 seconds remaining until the end of video playback.

[0062] Selectively, the pre-set presentation conditions may include initiating the presentation of the target multimedia information if the information duration of the target multimedia information is less than a third duration threshold. For example, if the video is relatively short, for instance, with a video duration of 8 seconds, the relevant multimedia information control may be presented when video playback begins.

[0063] Selectively, the pre-set presentation conditions may include the ratio of a first time interval between the current time and the start time of presentation of the target multimedia information to the target multimedia information duration, which is greater than a pre-set ratio threshold. For example, if the video duration is 1 minute, the relevant multimedia information control may be presented when the video has been played for one-third of the duration, i.e., at 20 seconds.

[0064] To explain, by setting pre-defined presentation conditions and presenting relevant multimedia information controls at the timing indicated by these conditions, user interference can be reduced, and prompts can be provided to the user at the appropriate time. In contrast, if relevant multimedia information controls are presented from the beginning of the presentation of target multimedia information, when the user is focused on viewing the target multimedia information and has relatively little interest in viewing other multimedia information, presenting relevant multimedia information controls at that time may provide information that is of relatively low demand to the user and interfere with the user's attention. This implementation method, by selecting the timing to present relevant multimedia information controls, can provide the user with new content that can be presented at the time when it is necessary to switch presentations, thereby reducing the amount of time the user has to search for relevant multimedia information.

[0065] In some embodiments, a first area of ​​the anthology presentation control displays an indicator of the multimedia information anthology, and a second area of ​​the anthology presentation control displays the associated multimedia information control.

[0066] For example, the second area may present two related multimedia information controls: one marked with the words "Previous Episode," which, when clicked, triggers the presentation of the previous episode of the target multimedia information; and the other marked with the words "Next Episode," which, when clicked, triggers the presentation of the next episode of the target multimedia information. This allows for providing users with related multimedia information options they are more likely to want to watch, thereby increasing the probability of meeting user needs.

[0067] Here, the second area is used to trigger the presentation of information content of related multimedia information, and the first area is used to trigger the presentation of information indicators of multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology.

[0068] For example, referring to Figure 2A, in Figure 2A, the anthology presentation control 202 may include a first area and a second area, and the related multimedia information control 203 is located in the second area. The first area may present an indicator of the multimedia information anthology. The user can trigger the presentation of information content of the related multimedia information by clicking the second area. Clicking the first area in the figure can trigger the presentation of information indicators of the multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology.

[0069] It should be explained that by positioning the related multimedia information control section within the anthology presentation control, it is possible to reduce distractions from related multimedia information to the user, and to effectively and timely remind the user when they want to focus on the multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology.

[0070] In some embodiments, step 102 includes presenting the associated multimedia information controls outside of the anthology presentation controls.

[0071] Here, the anthology presentation control displays the cover information, playback control, and title information of the multimedia information anthology.

[0072] As an example, referring to Figure 2B, the position of the anthology presentation control 202 in the presentation interface 201 is shown, and the area of ​​the presentation interface 201 other than the anthology presentation control 202 may be used to present the related multimedia information control 203.

[0073] It should be explained that the related multimedia information controls and the anthology presentation controls are independent of each other, allowing for strong prompts to be made to the user. In other words, when a single independent control appears in the presentation interface, the user's attention is likely to be drawn to this independent control, thereby providing a relatively clear prompt to the user and drawing their attention to the content prompted by the related multimedia information controls.

[0074] In some embodiments, the method further includes presenting a page element corresponding to the target multimedia information in a third area of ​​the presentation interface. The presentation interface may be used to present the target multimedia information.

[0075] In some embodiments, step 102 includes stopping the presentation of the page element corresponding to the target multimedia information and presenting the associated multimedia information control in the third area in response to the fulfillment of a predetermined presentation condition.

[0076] As an example, referring to Figure 4, which shows the presentation interface before the related multimedia information control is presented. In the presentation interface shown in Figure 4, the second area 402 presents the title (A video), background music information (song yyy), and interaction control (marked with the text "Click to Favorite"). If the pre-set presentation conditions are met, the presented content in the second area is replaced from the title (A video), background music information (song yyy), and interaction control (marked with the text "Click to Favorite") to the related multimedia information control 203, as shown in Figure 2B for details.

[0077] It should be explained that, when pre-defined presentation conditions are met, the presentation area of ​​the page element corresponding to the target multimedia information in the presentation interface can be converted to the presentation of related multimedia information controls, thereby maintaining fewer elements in the interface while simultaneously providing the user with more useful information at the current time. Fewer elements in the interface result in a cleaner interface, less distraction to the user, and less obstruction to the multimedia information presented by the interface. When pre-defined presentation conditions are met, it is possible to understand the appropriate timing for presenting related multimedia information, and at this time, the user may need the prompt provided by the related multimedia information controls rather than the information provided by the replaced content.

[0078] In some embodiments, the associated multimedia information control includes a display stop subcontrol.

[0079] As an example, referring to Figure 2B, Figure 2B shows the presentation stop subcontrol 2031.

[0080] In some embodiments, the method further includes, in response to detecting a trigger operation on the presentation stop subcontrol, stopping the presentation of the associated multimedia information control and presenting a page element corresponding to the target multimedia information in the third region.

[0081] For example, when the user clicks the presentation stop subcontrol 2031 in Figure 2B, the second area of ​​the presentation interface 201 may change from the presentation of the related multimedia information control 203 to the presentation of the title (A video), background music information (song yyy), and interaction control (marked with the text "Click to Favorite"), i.e., the interface shown in Figure 4.

[0082] It should be explained that the provision of the presentation stop sub-control is closely linked to the independent presentation format of the related multimedia information control 203. Since the related multimedia information control 203 is presented independently of the anthology presentation control and occupies a relatively large interface area on the presentation interface 201, when a user receives a prompt for the related multimedia information control 203 and determines that they do not need to use the related multimedia information control 203, they can avoid interference from the related multimedia information control and improve the presentation effect of the multimedia information by operating the presentation stop sub-control.

[0083] In some embodiments, the page element corresponding to the target multimedia information includes at least one of a title, background music information, and interaction controls.

[0084] In some embodiments, the page element corresponding to the target multimedia information includes at least one of the following: a title, background music information, interaction controls, user indicators, location information, and information type.

[0085] Here, location information may jump to presenting a location-related information interface in response to a user trigger.

[0086] Here, the information type may be used to indicate the type to which the currently presented multimedia information belongs.

[0087] To explain, the more specific items a page element containing the target multimedia information has, the simpler the presentation interface becomes after replacing the page element with a related multimedia information control, and the more effective the prompting of related multimedia information becomes. The fewer specific items a page element containing the target multimedia information has, the more interaction entries can be reserved after replacing the page element with a related multimedia information control, allowing the user to receive prompts for related multimedia information controls while simultaneously continuing to operate the interaction entries, thus realizing the functionality provided by the interaction entries.

[0088] In some embodiments, the method further includes presenting prompt information in response to the target multimedia information being the most recent in the multimedia information anthology.

[0089] Here, the prompt information is used to prompt that there is no multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology whose update time is later than that of the target multimedia information.

[0090] For example, if the video currently playing is the latest episode of the collection, the prompt information could be displayed as "This is the latest episode." Clicking the prompt information would switch the playback queue to the multimedia information anthology.

[0091] In some embodiments, the method further includes, in response to detecting a trigger operation on the prompt information, presenting an information indicator to point to multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology.

[0092] For example, a collection panel may be presented, and information indicators for referring to multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology may also be included.

[0093] One thing to explain is that if what is currently being presented is the latest episode in a multimedia information anthology, the user may want to watch the latest episode, and by reminding the user that it is the latest episode, it is possible to prevent the user from searching for the latest episode and not being able to find it.

[0094] Referring further to Figure 5, as an implementation of the methods shown in each of the above figures, this disclosure provides one embodiment of a multimedia information presentation device, the embodiment of this device corresponds to the embodiment of the method shown in Figure 1, and this device can be specifically applied to various electronic devices.

[0095] As shown in Figure 5, the multimedia information display device of this embodiment includes a first display unit 501, a second display unit 502, a third display unit 503, and a fourth display unit 504. Here, the first display unit is used to display target multimedia information in a multimedia information stream and to display an anthology display control for indicating the multimedia information anthology to which the target multimedia information belongs; the second display unit is used to display related multimedia information controls for the target multimedia information; the third display unit is used to display the information content of related multimedia information in response to the detection of a trigger operation on the related multimedia information control, where the related multimedia information indicated by the related multimedia information control belongs to the multimedia information anthology; and the fourth display unit is used to display an information indicator for indicating multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology in response to the detection of a trigger operation on the anthology display control.

[0096] In this embodiment, the specific processing of the first presentation unit 501, the second presentation unit 502, the third presentation unit 503, and the fourth presentation unit 504 of the multimedia information presentation device, and the resulting technical effects, may be described by referring to the related explanations of steps 101, 102, 103, and 104 in the corresponding embodiment in Figure 1, and will not be explained further here.

[0097] In some embodiments, the device is further used to update and present the information content of the multimedia information in the multimedia information stream to a presentation interface in response to detecting a first update operation.

[0098] In some embodiments, the device is further used to update and present the information content of the multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology on the presentation interface in response to detecting a second update operation when presenting the information content of the associated multimedia information.

[0099] In some embodiments, presenting the information content of the related multimedia information in response to the detection of a trigger operation on the related multimedia information control includes, in response to the detection of a trigger operation on the related multimedia control, simultaneously presenting the target multimedia information and the information content of the related multimedia information to the presentation interface when the presentation of the target multimedia information is not yet complete, and stopping the playback of the target multimedia information and playing the information content of the related multimedia information to the presentation interface when the playback of the multimedia information is complete.

[0100] In some embodiments, the number of associated multimedia information controls is at least one, and the associated multimedia information indicated by at least one associated multimedia information control includes at least one of the following: multimedia information that ranks one position above the target multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology, and multimedia information that ranks one position below the target multimedia information in the multimedia information anthology.

[0101] In some embodiments, presenting the relevant multimedia information control to the target multimedia information includes presenting the relevant multimedia information control in response to the fulfillment of pre-set presentation conditions.

[0102] In some embodiments, the preset presentation conditions include at least one of the following: a first time length between the current time and the start time of presentation of the target multimedia information is greater than a first time length threshold; a second time length between the current time and the end time of presentation of the target multimedia information is less than a second time length threshold, wherein the current time is between the start time and the end time of presentation; the presentation of the target multimedia information begins when the information time length of the target multimedia information is less than a third time length threshold; and the ratio of the first time length between the current time and the start time of presentation of the target multimedia information to the target multimedia information time length is greater than a preset ratio threshold.

[0103] In some embodiments, a first area of ​​the anthology presentation control displays an indicator of the multimedia information anthology, and a second area of ​​the anthology presentation control displays the associated multimedia information control.
