Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of video playback technology, and in particular to a video playback method and device. Background Art

[0003] With the continuous advancement of technology and the evolving needs of users, playing videos in small windows has become a common experience for users in various video-playing applications, enabling them to "watch and search" while watching. It is also an effective means of increasing the playback time of videos on video platforms. However, in related technologies, the activation rate of small window video playback within applications is generally low, and there is no convenient way to guide users to play videos in small window mode. How to provide a user-friendly method for playing videos in a small window is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0004] Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present disclosure proposes a video playback method and device.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a video playback method is provided, the method comprising:

[0007] If an exit gesture is detected during the display of the video details page interface of the application, a small window is displayed on the upper layer of the video details page interface;

[0008] Exit the video details page interface and enter the next interface of the application according to the exit gesture operation;

[0009] If the small window mode is determined to be triggered based on the detected gesture operation during the process of exiting the video details page interface, the small window will continue to be displayed in the currently displayed interface, and the target video will be played in the small window according to the playback progress of the target video in the video details page interface.

[0010] In this way, users can choose whether to play the video in a small window as needed when exiting the video details page of the application. The user operation is simple and convenient, allowing users to watch the target video through the small window synchronously while browsing the next interface of the application. Among them, displaying the small window in the process of exiting the video details page can effectively guide users to use the small window playback function, avoiding users from missing this function due to unfamiliarity or inconvenience in operation. In particular, when users switch interfaces within the application, they can conveniently choose to play the target video in the video details page through the small window as needed, or choose to refuse small window playback, which enriches the user's operation functions during the switching interface within the application and allows users to flexibly choose according to their own needs.

[0011] In a possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0012] Before exiting the video details page interface, if it is detected that the gesture operation on the small window meets the triggering condition, it is determined that the small window mode is triggered.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the trigger condition includes: the end point of the gesture operation is located within the trigger range of the small window and the duration of the gesture operation remaining within the trigger range exceeds a preset duration.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0015] Before determining that the small window mode has been triggered, a small window selection reminder is displayed in the small window window to remind the user to select the small window mode to continue playing the target video. In this way, the user can confirm that they can play the target video in the small window mode through the small window selection reminder, which serves as a guide for users who are unfamiliar with or unaccustomed to using small window playback.

[0016] In a possible implementation, the small window selection reminder is also used to remind the user how to trigger the small window mode. In this way, the user can determine how to quickly trigger the small window mode based on the small window selection reminder.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the method further includes: upon determining that the small window mode has been triggered, displaying a small window play reminder in the small window window, wherein the small window play reminder is used to remind the user to stop the gesture operation to play the target video in the small window mode. In this way, the user can intuitively determine whether the small window mode has been triggered based on the small window play reminder, facilitating a timely response.

[0018] In a possible implementation, the next interface includes a home page interface or a search result interface. In this way, when the small window mode is triggered, the user can watch the target video in the small window while continuing to browse the home page interface or the search result interface.

[0019] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a video playback device is provided, the device comprising:

[0020] A small window display module is used to display a small window on the upper layer of the video details page interface if an exit gesture operation is detected during the display of the video details page interface of the application;

[0021] An interface exit module, configured to exit the video details page interface and enter the next interface of the application according to the exit gesture operation;

[0022] The video playback module is used to continue displaying the small window in the currently displayed interface if it is determined that the small window mode is triggered based on the detected gesture operation during the process of exiting the video details page interface, and play the target video in the small window according to the playback progress of the target video in the video details page interface.

[0023] In a possible implementation, the apparatus further includes:

[0024] The trigger detection module is used to determine that the small window mode is triggered if it is detected that the gesture operation on the small window meets the trigger condition before exiting the video details page interface.

[0025] In a possible implementation, the trigger condition includes: the end point of the gesture operation is located within the trigger range of the small window and the duration of the gesture operation within the trigger range exceeds a preset duration.

[0026] In a possible implementation, the apparatus further includes:

[0027] A selection reminder display module is used to display a small window selection reminder in the small window before determining that the small window mode is triggered. The small window selection reminder is used to remind the user to select the small window mode to continue playing the target video.

[0028] In a possible implementation, the small window selection reminder is also used to remind the user how to trigger the small window mode.

[0029] In a possible implementation, the apparatus further includes:

[0030] The playback reminder display module is used to display a small window playback reminder in the small window window when it is determined that the small window mode is triggered. The small window playback reminder is used to remind the user to stop the gesture operation to play the target video in the small window mode.

[0031] In a possible implementation, the next interface includes a home page interface or a search result interface.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the video playback device provided above are the same as those of the video playback method described above, and are not described here for redundancy.

[0033] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a video playback device is provided, comprising: a processor; and a memory for storing processor-executable instructions; wherein the processor is configured to implement the above method when executing the instructions stored in the memory.

[0034] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium is provided, on which computer program instructions are stored, wherein the computer program instructions implement the above method when executed by a processor.

[0035] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a computer program product is provided, including a computer-readable code, or a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium carrying the computer-readable code.

[0042] Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings represent elements with the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless otherwise indicated.

[0043] The word “exemplary” is used exclusively herein to mean “serving as an example, example, or illustration.” Any embodiment described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

[0044] In addition, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed description to better illustrate the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present disclosure can be practiced without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, components, and circuits well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail in order to highlight the main points of the present disclosure.

[0045] In the related art, when a user plays a video in full-screen or non-full-screen mode using an application, a control for triggering small-window playback will be displayed to the user on the video playback interface. After the user triggers the control, the application will continue to play the currently playing video through the small window, and at the same time exit the full-screen mode or the interface displayed to the user in non-full-screen mode and return to the previous interface. In this way, the user can continue to browse the previous interface while continuing to watch the video in the small window floating above the previous interface. However, this requires the user to click the control to trigger small-window playback to trigger small-window video playback, requiring the user to remember the operation method of small-window video playback. In particular, in some cases, the description of the function of the control icon may not be intuitive, or even hidden in the next-level menu, making it difficult for users to find and operate. Even for users who are not used to small-window playback, this function may be completely ignored. In addition, for scenarios such as user video browsing and searching, this method of triggering small-window video playback brings great inconvenience to users' browsing and searching.

[0046] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a video playback method and device, which can enable users to choose whether to play the video in a small window as needed when exiting the video details page. The user operation is simple and convenient, so that the user can watch the target video synchronously through the small window while browsing the next interface of the application. Among them, displaying the small window in the process of exiting the video details page can effectively guide the user to use the small window playback function, avoiding the user from missing this function due to unfamiliarity or inconvenience in operation. In particular, when the user switches interfaces within the application, the user can conveniently choose to play the target video in the video details page through the small window as needed, or choose to reject the small window playback, which enriches the user's operation functions during the switching interface within the application, allowing the user to flexibly choose according to their own needs.

[0047] Figure 1 illustrates a flow chart of a video playback method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of interface changes in the video playback method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1 , the method includes steps S101 through S103. The method can be applied to a terminal device. The following describes the implementation of the video playback method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure in conjunction with Figures 1 and 2 .

[0048] As shown in Figure 2, in step S101, when an exit gesture operation is detected for the video details page interface T1, a small window P is displayed on the upper layer of the video details page interface T1. The user gesture operation detection can be performed while the application's video details page interface T1 is being displayed to the user. If an exit gesture operation is detected for the video details page interface T1, the next application interface T2 to be displayed after exiting the video details page interface T1 can also be determined.

[0049] The application may be an APP capable of playing videos, and this disclosure does not limit this. The video details page interface may be an interface for displaying detailed information about the target video. As shown in FIG2 , the following content may be displayed in different areas of the video details page interface T1: the target video, an introduction to the target video, videos associated with the target video, etc., and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0050] "Small windows" may include windows displayed on other interfaces in the form of floating windows, etc., and can be configured to be movable, resizable, closable, clickable to enter full-screen playback, etc. As shown in the examples below, small windows can also be used to display various reminders to guide user operations and serve as trigger conditions for triggering small window mode.

[0051] In one possible implementation, the exit gesture operation for the video details page interface T1 can be a gesture such as a sliding gesture along a preset direction on the video details page interface T1. The preset sliding direction can be rightward as shown in FIG2 or leftward, etc., and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0052] In this embodiment, the interface displayed to the user before the user selects the current video details page interface T1 can be determined as the next interface based on the user's historical operations. For example, the next interface can be the homepage interface, the search results interface, etc., and this disclosure does not limit this. In this way, when the small window mode is triggered, the user can continue to browse the next interface while watching the target video in the small window.

[0053] Taking the following interface as an example, that is, the home page interface or the search result interface, in an application APP that can play videos, for example, the home page interface or the search result interface usually displays a thumbnail of the video. After the user clicks the thumbnail, he enters the video details page interface of the video. After exiting the video details page interface, he returns to the home page interface or the search result interface. In combination with this embodiment, if an exit gesture operation is detected during the display of the video details page interface of the application, a small window is displayed on the upper layer of the video details page interface. If the small window mode is triggered, the user can continue to browse and select other videos of interest on the home page interface or the search result interface, or watch the selected target video at the same time. If there are no other videos of greater interest, the user can also switch back to full-screen mode through the small window to continue watching the target video, thereby meeting the various needs of users and providing users with a more flexible and convenient operation mode.

[0054] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the small window P needs to be displayed on the upper layer of the video details page interface T1, the small window P can be displayed on the upper layer of the video details page interface T1 according to the default display position and default display size of the small window P. Alternatively, when it is determined that the small window P needs to be displayed on the upper layer of the video details page interface T1, the selected display position and selected display size selected by the user can be determined based on the user's historical behavior data, and then the small window P can be displayed at the selected display position on the upper layer of the video details page interface T1 according to the selected display size. Alternatively, when it is determined that the small window P needs to be displayed on the upper layer of the video details page interface T1, the small window P can be displayed on the upper layer of the video details page interface T1 according to the display position and display size of the small window during the user's last triggering of the small window mode to play the video. It can be understood that the display position and display size of the small window P can be set according to the user's settings, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0055] In one possible implementation, the method may further include: before determining that the small window mode is triggered, displaying a small window selection reminder in the small window window P. The small window selection reminder may be used to remind the user to select the small window mode to continue playing the target video. In this way, the user can use the small window selection reminder to determine that the target video can be played in the small window mode, and then select it according to needs, thereby guiding the user to use this function. In some embodiments, the small window selection reminder may also be used to remind the user of the triggering method of the small window mode. In this way, the user can determine how to quickly trigger the small window mode based on the small window selection reminder.

[0056] In this implementation, the small window selection reminder can be displayed to the user in the small window P in the form of text, pictures, animated pictures, videos, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this. For example, as shown in Figure 2, the small window selection reminder is displayed in the form of the text "Drag to this small window to play". Since the small window has a certain area, it can display more intuitive and rich reminder information, and can be continuously displayed on other interfaces, so it can play a better guiding and prompting role for the user. It is understandable that those skilled in the art can set the implementation method of the small window selection reminder according to actual needs, such as using double-clicking the small window as a trigger condition, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0057] As shown in Figure 2, in step S102, the video details page interface T1 is exited and the next interface T2 of the application is entered according to the exit gesture operation. Gesture operation detection can also be performed during the process of exiting the video details page interface T1 and entering the next interface T2 of the application, and then whether the user has triggered the small window mode can be determined based on the detected gesture operation. The trajectory of the gesture operation, the location where it stays, the duration of the stay at the location, etc. can be detected to determine whether the user has triggered the small window mode based on the inspection results.

[0058] In some embodiments, in the process of exiting the video details page interface T1 according to the exit gesture operation, the video details page interface T1 can be exited and the next interface T2 can be displayed according to the preset switching method between the video details page interface T1 and the next interface T2, thereby realizing the display switching between the video details page interface T1 and the next interface T2. For example, as shown in Figure 2, the video details page can be continuously moved out of the currently displayed interface and continuously moved into the next interface according to the sliding speed of the exit gesture operation, until the video details page is completely moved out of the interface and the next interface is completely moved into the interface. In this process, the small window can always be displayed on the current and next interfaces, continuously providing reminder information to the user, and guiding the user to use the small window function. It can be understood that those skilled in the art can set the implementation method of exiting the video details page interface and entering the next interface according to the exit gesture operation according to actual needs, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0059] As shown in Figure 2, in step S103, if it is determined that the small window mode is triggered during the process of exiting the video details page interface T1, the small window window continues to be displayed in the currently displayed interface, and the target video is played in the small window window according to the playback progress of the target video in the video details page interface. In some embodiments, if it is determined that the small window mode is triggered, the display of the video details page interface T1 can be directly ended and the display of the next interface T2 can be carried out, and the small window window P can be displayed on the upper layer of the next interface T2 to play the target video in the small window window P according to the playback progress of the target video in the video details page interface T1.

[0060] In a possible implementation, the method may further include: before exiting the video details page interface T1, if it is detected that the gesture operation for the small window meets the trigger condition, then it is determined that the small window mode is triggered. In some embodiments, the trigger condition may include: the end point of the gesture operation is located within the trigger range of the small window P and the duration of stay in the trigger range exceeds a preset duration. In some embodiments, the trigger range may be a preset range including the area occupied by the small window P. For example, as shown in Figure 2, the trigger range may be the area where the small window P is located. It is understandable that those skilled in the art can set the trigger conditions according to actual needs, and the present disclosure does not limit this. In this way, the small window is also used as a "control" to trigger the small window mode. Compared with conventional controls, the small window area is larger, more eye-catching, more convenient to operate, and less likely to cause misoperation.

[0061] In some embodiments, the preset duration in the trigger condition can be set according to user settings to meet the selection requirements of different users for triggering the small window mode.

[0062] In one possible implementation, if the video details page interface is completely exited, or exited to a predetermined stage, the small window mode is not triggered and the small window may no longer be displayed.

[0063] In one possible implementation, the method may further include: if it is determined that the small window mode has been triggered, displaying a small window play reminder in the small window window P, wherein the small window play reminder is used to remind the user to stop the gesture operation to play the target video in the small window mode. In this way, the user can intuitively determine whether the small window mode has been triggered based on the small window play reminder, facilitating timely response by the user.

[0064] In this implementation, the small window playback reminder can be displayed to the user in the small window window P in the form of text, pictures, animated images, videos, etc., and this disclosure does not limit this. For example, as shown in Figure 2, the small window selection reminder is displayed in the form of the text "Release your finger to play in the small window." It is understood that those skilled in the art can configure the implementation method of the small window playback reminder according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit this.
