[0027] Sample Environment

[0028] Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. In this example environment 100, an application 120 is installed on a terminal device 110. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the terminal device 110 and / or a device attached to the terminal device 110. In some embodiments, the application 120 may be an application that provides a single primary function, also known as a single-function application. In some embodiments, the application 120 may also be an integrated suite application that provides multiple functions to the user 140. To this end, the suite application may include multiple components for implementing these functions, in which case each component can be considered to correspond to a sub-application. Suite applications in the office field are sometimes also referred to as "office applications," "collaborative office platforms," ​​etc. As examples, the components integrated in the suite application may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: a chat component (also known as an instant messaging (IM) component), a document component, an audio and video conferencing component, an email component, a calendar component, a schedule component, a task component, etc. In some embodiments, the suite application can also be downloaded and installed as a single application on the terminal device 110.

[0029] In the environment 100 of Figure 1 , if application 120 is started, terminal device 110 may present an interface 150 of application 120 to user 140. Interface 150 may include entry controls and access portals for various components provided by application 120, as well as interactive interfaces associated with the components, such as a conversation interface presenting chat content, a video conferencing interface, a file sharing interface, and so on.

[0030] Interface 150 can include a viewing interface for media content, through which user 140 can play media content and view information associated with the media content. Such media content can be, for example, video or audio. In some embodiments, media content can include audio and video files locally on terminal device 110, audio and video files stored in the cloud (e.g., server 130), or audio and video streams. Such audio and video streams can, for example, include a playback stream of recorded media content (e.g., meeting minutes), or a live stream of live content.

[0031] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 communicates with the server 130 to enable the supply of services to the application 120. The terminal device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a television receiver, a radio broadcast receiver, an e-book device, a gaming device or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.). The server 130 can be various types of computing systems / servers that can provide computing power, including but not limited to mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in cloud environments, and the like.

[0032] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0033] As briefly mentioned above, people can use a player to play a video or audio recording of a meeting. During playback, they may want to locate the portion of the video or audio recording corresponding to a specific speaker (for example, the main speaker or the speaker of primary interest) and understand the content of that speaker's speech. Traditional solutions require viewing the entire media content or the entire transcript of the meeting, which is time-consuming and inefficient.

[0034] To this end, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a solution for viewing media content. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in a viewing interface for media content, the speaking time information of one or more speakers associated with the media content is presented to indicate the position of the speaking time period of one or more speakers in the media content. In the viewing interface, speech content information related to the speech content of one or more speakers is also presented, which can be presented in association with the speaking time information. In this way, the speaking time and speech summary of the speaker are presented to the user at the same time, thereby facilitating a quick understanding of the speech content of the speaker of interest. This can advantageously improve the efficiency of viewing media content.

[0035] The following describes embodiments of the present disclosure with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Sample viewing interface

[0037] Fig. 2 A shows the example of the viewing interface for media content, which can be presented, for example, by terminal device 110. The viewing interface includes a zone 201 for playing media content. As mentioned above, media content can be pre-recorded or being recorded. Media content can be, for example, video or audio. In certain embodiments, media content can be a media file for recording a session (for example, a meeting).

[0038] Region 202 of the viewing interface is used to present information about one or more speakers (e.g., speakers) associated with the media content. As shown in FIG2A , region 202 presents speech time information for speakers A, B, and C, indicating the location of their respective speech time periods within the media content.

[0039] The speaker associated with the media content described herein may refer to the entity that utters the voice in the media content. Exemplarily, if the media content is a record of a conversation, the speaker may be a participant in the conversation. In some embodiments, a speaker may include multiple speakers. For example, such a speaker may be determined based on the terminals participating in the online conference. For example, multiple conference participants may access the online conference through the same terminal (or use the same account), then such multiple participants may be identified as the same speaker, although they may include multiple different speakers. Alternatively, in some embodiments, a speaker may correspond to one speaker. It should be understood that any appropriate speaker recognition technology may be used to determine the corresponding speaker in the media content, and the present disclosure is not intended to be limited to this.

[0040] In some embodiments, information about all speakers associated with the media content may be presented in area 202. Alternatively, in some embodiments, information about some speakers associated with the media content may be presented in area 202. For example, a user may select which speakers' information is presented in area 202. For another example, information about a certain number of speakers may be presented.

[0041] In some embodiments, the speaking time information can be presented to the user in the form of a timeline. For example, for the first speaker, the terminal device 110 can present a first timeline of the media content, and display the first speaking time period of the first speaker in the first timeline in a first style. Correspondingly, for the second speaker, the terminal device 110 can present a second timeline of the media content, and display the second speaking time period of the second speaker in the second timeline in a second style different from the first style. The timelines presented for the speakers (for example, the first timeline and the second timeline mentioned above) can be collectively referred to as speaking timelines.

[0042] Continuing with the example of Figure 2A , area 202 displays a timeline 210-1 for speaker A, a timeline 220-2 for speaker B, and a timeline 220-3 for speaker C, collectively or individually referred to as timelines 220. On each timeline 220, the corresponding speaker's speaking time period is highlighted, with the highlighting pattern varying for each speaker. This allows users to intuitively understand when a speaker was not speaking and when they were speaking frequently. This information helps users quickly access desired content.

[0043] 2A is merely exemplary and not intended to be limiting. Different speakers may be distinguished in any suitable manner, such as by displayed color, displayed line width, and the like.

[0044] Furthermore, representing the speaking time periods using different time axes is merely exemplary, and the speaking time information may be presented in any suitable manner and is not limited to being presented in area 202. For example, the corresponding speaking time periods of each speaker may be indicated in different styles in the playback progress bar of the media content.

[0045] In some embodiments, the presented speech timeline can also support various types of user interactions. As an example, if the terminal device 110 receives a selection of a position in a timeline, the media content can be played starting from the moment corresponding to the selected position. For example, as shown in Figure 2A, the user can click on position 250 in the speech timeline 210-1 to indicate that the media content is desired to be played starting from that position. Accordingly, the terminal device 110 can start playing the media content from the time point corresponding to the position 250.

[0046] In some embodiments, a timeline presented in association with the media content may be displayed in the viewing interface, also referred to as a fourth timeline or a playback timeline. A play mark indicating the current playback moment is displayed on the playback timeline. It should be understood that the "current playback moment" indicates the moment corresponding to the image or frame displayed in the media content display area, and the media content may be in a state of being played or paused. An example is described with reference to FIG2B . As shown in FIG2B , a playback timeline 260 is displayed in the viewing interface, on which a play mark 261 is displayed. The current playback moment is in the speaking time period of speaker A. Accordingly, a position mark 262 is displayed on the speaking timeline 210-1 of speaker A.

[0047] In some embodiments, the play icon on the playback timeline can jump in response to a trigger operation on the speech timeline. In response to a trigger operation (e.g., a user click) on a first position in the speech timeline, the play icon can be displayed at a second position on the playback timeline corresponding to the first position. In other words, the play icon jumps.

[0048] Comparing Figures 2B and 2C , the user triggers (e.g., clicks) position 263 in speech timeline 210-1. Accordingly, the display positions of play mark 261 and position mark 262 change. Another example is described with reference to Figure 2D . The user triggers (e.g., clicks) position 264 in speech timeline 210-2. Accordingly, the display position of play mark 261 changes. Position mark 262 is displayed on speech timeline 210-2 instead of speech timeline 210-1.

[0049] In some embodiments, whether a position within the speech timeline is triggerable depends on whether the speaker corresponding to the speech timeline is speaking at the moment corresponding to the position. Specifically, a position on the speech timeline corresponding to a speaker that is within the speech time period of the speaker is triggerable. For example, a position on the speech timeline 210-1 that is within the speech time period of speaker A is triggerable, and a position on the speech timeline 210-2 that is within the speech time period of speaker B is triggerable. For example, in the example of Figure 2E, position 265 on the speech timeline 210-2 is not within the speech time period of speaker B and is therefore not triggerable. If the user attempts to trigger the position, a prohibition sign 266 may be presented.

[0050] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may also display speech ratio information for one or more speakers in the viewing interface, indicating the ratio of the corresponding speech time period of the one or more speakers to the duration of the media content. For example, in the example of FIG2A , the ratios "YY%," "ZZ%," and "WW%" are displayed for speakers A, B, and C, respectively.

[0051] In some embodiments, the order in which speech timelines are presented may be determined based on the speech percentage of the speakers. For example, if the speech percentage of "Speaker A" reaches "70%", which is greater than the speech percentage of "Speaker B" of "30%", speech timeline 210-1 may be presented in priority over speech timeline 210-2, as shown in FIG2A .

[0052] Reference is made to Figure 3, which shows an example of a viewing interface for media content, which can be presented, for example, by the terminal device 110. In this viewing interface, speech content information related to the speech content of the speaker is presented. The speech content information may include any suitable information related to the speech content of the speaker. For example, the speech content information of a certain speaker may include the important speech content or excerpts of the speech content of the speaker. In some embodiments, the speech content information may include speech summary information to summarize the speech content of one or more speakers. For example, a speech summary of the speech content of each speaker may be presented.

[0053] Speech content information can be presented in association with speech time information. For example, each speaker's speech content information can be presented in association with that speaker's speech time information. Specifically, Figure 3 shows speech content information 310-1 for speaker A and speech content information 310-2 for speaker B, collectively or individually referred to as speech content information 310. It should be understood that, due to limitations on the display area of ​​the interface, speaker C's speech content information could be displayed by sliding the screen, for example.

[0054] In some embodiments, each speaker's speech content information can be presented adjacent to the speaker's speech timeline. For example, as shown in Figure 3, speaker A's speech content information 310-1 is adjacent to speech timeline 210-1, specifically below speech timeline 210-1; speaker B's speech content information 310-2 is adjacent to speech timeline 210-2, specifically below speech timeline 210-2.

[0055] In some embodiments, speech content information may be presented by default in the viewing interface. In some embodiments, speech content information may be presented in response to user input. For example, a first control for displaying speech content information may be presented in the viewing interface. If the first control is triggered by the user, the terminal device 110 may present the speech content information in the viewing interface. For example, FIG2A shows a first control 220. In response to the user clicking on the first control 220, the speech content information 310 shown in FIG3 is presented.

[0056] In some embodiments, in response to the presentation of speech content information, terminal device 110 may present a second control in the viewing interface for hiding the speech content information. If the second control is triggered by the user, the presentation of the speech content information in the viewing interface may cease. For example, after the speech summary 310 is presented, the first control 220 in FIG. 2A transforms into the second control 320 shown in FIG. 3 . If the user clicks on the second control 320, the speech content information 310 may be retracted.

[0057] In the examples described above, the controls for presenting and hiding speech content information are shared by different speakers. In other examples, separate controls can be set for each speaker to present and hide that speaker's speech content information. In this way, users can learn more about the speeches of speakers they are interested in.

[0058] In some embodiments, the speaking time period of a speaker may include multiple sub-time periods. Accordingly, speech content information related to the speech content in at least one of these sub-time periods, such as a speech summary, may be presented. Such a sub-time period may be any sub-time period, or may be a time period whose length exceeds a threshold length. For example, as shown in the timeline 210-1 for speaker A, the speaking time period of speaker A includes multiple sub-time periods. If the length of one or more of the time periods exceeds the threshold, a summary of the speech content of such time periods may be presented. In this way, the user can understand the speech content of the speaker at a refined time granularity, thereby more accurately locating the speech content of interest or concern.

[0059] In some embodiments, a speech summary corresponding to a sub-time period may be presented. In such embodiments, if the speech summary is selected, a location marker may be displayed on the speaker's speech timeline at the sub-time period corresponding to the selected speech summary. This further facilitates viewing speech content of interest or concern.

[0060] It should be understood that, for descriptive purposes only, although examples of viewing interfaces are discussed above in conjunction with Figures 2A to 3 , the various aspects discussed above (e.g., the provision of a speech timeline, the style of a speech timeline, the interaction of a speech timeline, the style of controls, the presentation position of various elements, etc.) may be provided independently or in a combination different from that shown in Figures 2A to 3 .

[0061] Furthermore, while the examples shown in Figures 2A to 3 are for reviewing recorded content, embodiments of the present disclosure may also be used to view real-time media content (e.g., live audio and video streams). Accordingly, the speech timeline discussed above may be used to indicate the temporal distribution of historical speech content of at least one speaker associated with a historical portion of real-time media content.
