[0032] The inventors discovered that an immersive display structure can improve the efficiency of switching multimedia content, making it easier for users to gain an immersive experience. However, because the immersive display structure prevents users from knowing in advance which multimedia content will be displayed, users cannot proactively filter the content to be displayed. Especially for long multimedia content, users may need to watch for a long time before determining whether it is of interest. The immersive structure makes it difficult for users to quickly filter the content they want to watch.

[0033] The present disclosure provides a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for displaying multimedia content, which improve the switching and display efficiency of multimedia content and facilitate fast and accurate screening of multimedia content.

[0034] The method for displaying multimedia content disclosed herein can be performed by a display device for multimedia content, which can be provided on a client and implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. When the display device is implemented in the form of software, it can be provided within an application (APP). The display-related steps in the present disclosure can all be implemented by a graphical user interface (GUI).

[0035] Some embodiments of the method for displaying multimedia content of the present disclosure are described below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 .

[0036] FIG1 is a flow chart of some embodiments of the method for displaying multimedia content of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG1 , the method of this embodiment includes steps S102 to S104.

[0037] In step S102, in response to a preset trigger operation, the current multimedia content in the multimedia content stream is played in the playback interface, a selection area of ​​the multimedia content stream is displayed, and identifiers of the multimedia content in the multimedia content stream are displayed in the selection area, wherein the identifiers of the multimedia content are arranged in the order of the multimedia content in the multimedia content stream, and the multimedia content supports switching and playing in sequence in response to a sliding operation in a preset direction in the playback interface.

[0038] For example, the preset triggering operation includes, but is not limited to, launching an application, triggering a control in a selected area, triggering a multimedia channel entry, updating a multimedia channel, or triggering the current multimedia content. In response to the preset triggering operation, the current multimedia content in the multimedia content stream is played in the playback interface while the selected area of ​​the multimedia content stream is displayed.

[0039] The current multimedia content may be played in full screen (full screen) mode in the playback interface, or may be displayed in the playback interface according to the size of the current multimedia content.

[0040] The multimedia content stream is, for example, an immersive information stream (or feed stream), including one or more multimedia contents. The multimedia contents in the multimedia content stream can be switched and played in a single column on the screen, that is, the multimedia content stream can be an immersive single column information stream.

[0041] The multimedia content stream may be a multimedia content stream recommended to the current user, i.e., the user currently viewing the content. The multimedia content stream may be determined based on a preset recommendation strategy. For example, an AI (Artificial Intelligence) model may be employed to determine the multimedia content stream recommended to the current user based on at least one of the following: the type of multimedia content of interest, historical operational behavior information, and information about the users the current user pre-configures. For example, the historical operational behavior information includes relevant information about at least one of the current user's viewing, liking, commenting, sharing, following, and collecting behaviors. The relevant information about at least one of the current user's viewing, liking, commenting, sharing, following, and collecting behaviors may include the type of the corresponding multimedia content, the user who published it, and the like. Regarding viewing behaviors, the relevant information may also include information such as viewing duration. After determination, the identifiers of the multimedia content included in the multimedia content stream recommended to the current user may be stored in a database in a table format. When the current user begins playing the multimedia content, the identifiers of these multimedia content are retrieved from the database.

[0042] For example, the selection area is displayed in the upper layer of the playback interface, or in a floating layer above the playback interface, which does not affect the playback of the current multimedia content. The identification of the multimedia content arranged in the order of the multimedia content in the multimedia content stream is displayed in the selection area. The multimedia content in the multimedia content stream supports sliding operations in a preset direction in the playback interface, and is switched and played according to the arrangement order of the identification of the multimedia content. That is, the arrangement order of the identification of the multimedia content in the selection area is the same as the order in which the multimedia content is switched and played in response to the sliding operation in the playback interface. For multimedia content other than the current multimedia content, the user can switch by sliding operations or selecting operations in the selection area.

[0043] The sliding operation in the preset direction can be determined based on the display orientation of the screen. For example, for a portrait display, the sliding operation in the preset direction can be an upward sliding operation, and for a landscape display, the sliding operation in the preset direction can be a left sliding operation. For example, in response to the sliding operation in the preset direction, the playback page of the current multimedia content is slid out of the screen area, and the playback page of the next multimedia content in the multimedia content stream is slid into the screen area, thereby achieving an immersive display mode.

[0044] In some embodiments, in response to a change in the display orientation of the screen, the display size of the current multimedia content and the selection area is adjusted based on the size of the playback area and the parameters of the current multimedia content. Operations such as screen rotation may cause the display size to change but do not affect the displayed content.

[0045] In some embodiments, the multimedia content includes: one or more of text, images, video, and audio. For example, the multimedia content is a video, graphic information, or a collection. In some embodiments, the identifier of the multimedia content includes: at least one of a thumbnail and a name (title) corresponding to the multimedia content.

[0046] In step S104 , in response to a selection operation on the identification of the target multimedia content in the selection area, the target multimedia content is played.

[0047] The multimedia content in the multimedia content stream includes target multimedia content. The current user can select the identifier of any multimedia content in the selection area as the identifier of the target multimedia content. The current user can select the identifier of the target multimedia content in various ways, such as by clicking, voice, or other operations, which will not be further described here.

[0048] In response to the selection operation of the target multimedia content identifier, the target multimedia content is played. If no sliding operation in a preset direction or selection operation in the selection area is received at the end of the target multimedia content playback, the target multimedia content can be played in a loop. Similarly, the current multimedia content can also be played in a loop.

[0049] In the method of the above embodiment, while playing the current multimedia content in the multimedia content stream recommended to the current user, a selection area of ​​the multimedia content stream is also displayed, and the identifiers of the multimedia content in the multimedia content stream are displayed in the selection area. The arrangement order of the identifiers of the multimedia content is the same as the order in which the multimedia content supports switching and playing in response to a sliding operation in a preset direction in the playback interface. In response to the selection operation of the identifier of the target multimedia content in the selection area, the target multimedia content can be played directly. The method of the above embodiment, based on the immersive display of multimedia content, adds a selection area, so that the current user can more intuitively see the multimedia content that will be displayed later, and the current user can switch multimedia content in two ways. Through the selection area, the current user can more quickly and accurately filter out the multimedia content he wants to watch, thereby improving the efficiency of multimedia content switching and display, and realizing fast and accurate screening of multimedia content.

[0050] In some embodiments, when the selection area includes multiple identifiers of multimedia content, the multiple identifiers of multimedia content are displayed in a list format. The multiple identifiers of multimedia content can be displayed in the same layer (or floating layer).

[0051] The selection area may display only the identifiers of multimedia content after the current multimedia content, or may display the identifiers of the current multimedia content and / or the multimedia content before the current multimedia content. The number of multimedia content identifiers displayed in the selection area may be determined based on the size of the screen, the size of the selection area, and the size of the area for the multimedia content identifiers.

[0052] In some embodiments, the selection area is smaller than the playback interface and does not completely block the playback of the multimedia content. For example, one side of the selection area (or floating layer) overlaps with one side of the playback interface. For example, the selection area (or floating layer) can slide out from one side of the playback interface. The selection area can be displayed with a first predetermined transparency, but is not limited to this example.

[0053] In some embodiments, in the selection area, the identifier of the current multimedia content is displayed with a first effect, and the identifiers of multimedia content other than the current multimedia content are displayed with a second effect. The identifier of the current multimedia content (i.e., the multimedia content being played) and the identifiers of other multimedia content other than the current multimedia content are displayed with different effects, which can enable the user to more intuitively and accurately determine the location of the current multimedia content, thereby distinguishing the multimedia content before and after the current multimedia content, improving the efficiency of selection, and thus improving the switching and display efficiency of multimedia content. For example, the identifier of the current multimedia content and the identifiers of other multimedia content can be displayed with different colors and different special effects, or the identifier of the current multimedia content can be highlighted by framing, highlighting, etc., or a prompt message that is being played can be added to the identifier of the current multimedia content, etc., not limited to the examples given. For example, a mask is added to the identifier of the current multimedia content, and the prompt message that is being played is displayed in the mask. The mask can be displayed with a second preset transparency.

[0054] In some embodiments, for the multimedia content that has been played in the multimedia content stream, the playback progress of the played multimedia content is displayed at the identifier of the played multimedia content in the selection area; or for each multimedia content in the multimedia content stream, the playback progress of the multimedia content is displayed at the identifier of the multimedia content in the selection area.

[0055] The playback progress can be displayed only for multimedia content that has been played (including currently playing), or for each multimedia content. For multimedia content that has not been played, information such as progress of 0 or not played can be displayed. By displaying the playback progress, the current user can more intuitively determine which multimedia content has been watched and which has not been watched, as well as the playback progress, thereby improving selection efficiency, thereby improving the efficiency of switching and displaying multimedia content.

[0056] In some embodiments, description information of each multimedia content item is displayed at the location of each multimedia content item in the selection area. The description information includes at least one of the following: an introduction, the publisher's identifier, duration, playback progress, number of views, number of likes, number of favorites, number of comments, number of reposts, and the current user's attention to the publisher. The publisher's identifier may include, for example, at least one of the publisher's avatar and name. This description information allows the current user to more quickly and accurately identify multimedia content of interest, improving selection efficiency and thereby enhancing the efficiency of switching and displaying multimedia content.

[0057] As shown in Figure 2, an identification area 202 of multiple multimedia contents is displayed in the form of a list in the upper layer (or floating layer) of the playback interface 201, which is used to display the identification of the multimedia contents. The selection area (or floating layer) occupies the left part of the playback interface. The identification area 202 of each multimedia content may include two sub-areas, which may be used to display the thumbnail and name (title) of the multimedia content respectively. Each identification area 202 may also include: description information of the corresponding multimedia content. For example, the description information includes: introduction, identification of the publishing user, duration, playback progress, number of views, number of likes (favorites), number of collections, number of comments, number of reposts, and at least one of the current user's attention information on the publishing user.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 2 , the identification area of ​​the multimedia content being played may be highlighted in a framed manner.

[0059] In some embodiments, the selection area includes an identifier of part of the multimedia content in the multimedia content stream. In response to a first switching operation of the current user on the identifier of part of the multimedia content in the selection area, the identifier of the multimedia content after the part of the multimedia content is displayed in the selection area according to the order of the multimedia content in the multimedia content stream; and / or in response to a second switching operation of the current user on the identifier of part of the multimedia content in the selection area, the identifier of the multimedia content before the part of the multimedia content is displayed in the selection area according to the order of the multimedia content in the multimedia content stream.

[0060] Based on the size of the selection area, only the identifiers of a portion of the multimedia content in the multimedia content stream may be displayed in the selection area. The current user can switch the identifiers of this portion of multimedia content to the identifiers of another portion of multimedia content. For example, the first switching operation is an upward swipe operation in the selection area, and the second switching operation is a downward swipe operation in the selection area. For another example, the first switching operation is a triggering operation of a first switching control button, and the second switching operation is a triggering operation of a second switching control button, etc. The first switching operation and the second switching operation can be flexibly configured and are not limited to the examples shown.

[0061] In some embodiments, if the identifier of the multimedia content in the selection area supports sliding switching, in response to sliding to the bottom or top, a switching control is displayed, and in response to triggering the switching control, the identifier of the switched multimedia content is displayed. The identifier of the switched multimedia content continues to support sliding switching.

[0062] In some embodiments, the method for displaying multimedia content further includes: displaying user identifiers of one or more recommending users; and in response to a selection operation on the user identifier of a target recommending user, displaying a page of the target recommending user, wherein the one or more recommending users include the target recommending user. The user identifiers of the one or more recommending users may be displayed in a selection area or in a display area for recommended users in a floating layer, wherein the selection area and the display area for recommended users are different areas.

[0063] The one or more recommended users may be determined based on the behavior of the current user or the behavior of all users. In some embodiments, each of the one or more recommended users satisfies at least one of the following conditions: the number of times the current user has accessed multimedia content published by the recommending user exceeds a first threshold; the number of times the multimedia content published by the recommending user has been accessed exceeds a second threshold.

[0064] Visits may include specific actions such as watching, commenting, liking, following, collecting, sharing, etc., but are not limited to the examples given. Recommended users may include users and / or popular creators that the current user frequently watches.

[0065] For example, a user identifier includes at least one of a user name, a user profile picture, and user-related descriptive information. The user-related descriptive information includes, for example, at least one of the number of users following the user, the number of likes on the user's multimedia content, the number of views on the user's multimedia content, the number of comments on the user's multimedia content, the number of favorites on the user's multimedia content, and the number of shares on the user's multimedia content.

[0066] As shown in FIG3 , a display area 301 for recommended users and a selection area 302 may be displayed in the upper layer (or floating layer) of the playback interface. The display area 301 for recommended users may be located above the selection area 302 to facilitate viewing and selection by the current user, but this example is not limiting. The display area 301 for recommended users may be fixed.

[0067] In some embodiments, in response to a third switching operation on the recommended user identifier in the recommended user display area, the switched recommended user identifier is displayed. For example, the third switching operation may be a sliding operation in the recommended user display area, or a triggering operation of a third switching control, etc., without limitation to these examples.

[0068] The target recommended user's page may include relevant information of multimedia content published by the target recommended user. In response to the current user's selection operation of the multimedia content published by the target recommended user, a play interface is displayed and the selected multimedia content is played.

[0069] In some embodiments, when the selected multimedia content is played, a regenerated selection area is displayed. The identifier of the selected multimedia content may be inserted between the identifiers of the multimedia content in the original selection area to obtain the regenerated selection area. For example, the identifier of the selected multimedia content is inserted after the identifier of the previously played multimedia content. Alternatively, the multimedia content stream may be regenerated, and the regenerated selection area includes the identifiers of the multimedia content in the regenerated multimedia content stream. The regenerated multimedia content stream may be composed of multimedia content associated with the selected multimedia content. The regenerated multimedia content stream may be generated based on a different recommendation strategy than the original multimedia content stream.

[0070] While displaying the newly generated selection area, a newly generated recommended user display area may also be displayed. The target recommended user may no longer be displayed in the recommended user display area, and a new recommended user may be displayed instead. A portal to the page of the user who published the multimedia content may be displayed elsewhere in the playback interface, allowing the current user to re-enter the target recommended user's page through this portal.

[0071] The method of the above embodiment provides information in two dimensions, namely, recommended users and multimedia content, so that the current user can make a selection. The current user can quickly find the content of interest in different ways, further improving the efficiency of multimedia content switching and display.

[0072] In some embodiments, in response to the opening of an application, a playback interface is displayed, the current multimedia content in the multimedia content stream is played in the playback interface, and a selection area of ​​the multimedia content stream is displayed; or, in response to a triggering operation on a multimedia channel entrance, a playback interface is displayed in the multimedia channel, the current multimedia content in the multimedia content stream is played in the playback interface, and a selection area of ​​the multimedia content stream is displayed; or, in response to an update operation on a multimedia channel, a playback interface is displayed in the multimedia channel, the current multimedia content in the multimedia content stream is played in the playback interface, and a selection area of ​​the multimedia content stream is displayed; or, in response to a sliding operation in the playback interface, the playback page of the previous multimedia content is switched to the playback page of the current multimedia content, the current multimedia content in the multimedia content stream is played in the playback interface, and a selection area of ​​the multimedia content stream is displayed. There are multiple ways to trigger the simultaneous display of the selection area and the playback of the current multimedia content, that is, there can be multiple preset triggering operations, all of which can be based on an immersive display method and increase the display of the selection area. Of course, one or more identifications of recommended users can also be displayed, which will not be repeated here.

[0073] In some embodiments, the multimedia content channel includes multiple channels, the duration or generation strategy of the multimedia content stream in different channels is different, and the multimedia content in different channels is played in different ways. For example, the multimedia content channel includes: a first channel and a second channel, the multimedia content stream in the first channel is a first multimedia content stream, and the duration of the multimedia content in the first multimedia content stream is greater than a preset duration. The multimedia content stream in the second channel is a second multimedia content stream, and the duration of the multimedia content in the second multimedia content stream is less than or equal to a preset duration. In the first channel, when the multimedia content in the first multimedia content stream is played in the playback interface, the selection area of ​​the first multimedia content stream is displayed, and in the second channel, when the multimedia content in the first multimedia content stream is played in the playback interface, the selection area is not displayed.

[0074] As shown in Figure 3, multiple channels can be set up, and Channel 2 can display a selection area while playing multimedia content. Multiple channels can be divided not only based on the length of the multimedia content, but also based on other different dimensions. For example, the channels of users currently followed by the user, live broadcast channels, etc.

[0075] Multiple multimedia content channels are divided. For longer multimedia content, a selection area is displayed during playback, while for shorter multimedia content, the selection area is not displayed. This can adapt to the characteristics of different multimedia content and provide users with a better immersive experience.

[0076] In some embodiments, an entrance to a multimedia content channel is displayed; in response to a triggering operation on the entrance to the multimedia content channel, the multimedia content channel is entered and a play interface is displayed, wherein the selection area is in a hidden state.

[0077] In response to the current user's waving operation on the selection area (or floating layer), the selection area is displayed. Similarly, the display area of ​​recommended users can be hidden. In response to the waving operation on the display area (or floating layer) of recommended users, the display area of ​​recommended users is displayed. The selection area and the display area of ​​recommended users can be located in the same floating layer (or layer).

[0078] When starting to play the current multimedia content, the selection area, the display area of ​​the recommended user, or the floating layer are hidden, so that the current user can get a better immersive experience. The current user can call up the corresponding area by triggering the control of the selection area, the control of the display area of ​​the recommended user, or the control of the floating layer, or by voice or other means, not limited to the examples given. The selection area and the display area of ​​the recommended user can be called up by one control, for example, the selection area and the display area of ​​the recommended user can be called up at the same time by the control of the selection area (or the control of the floating layer).

[0079] Other embodiments of the method for displaying multimedia content of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIG. 4 .

[0080] FIG4 is a flow chart of some embodiments of the method for displaying multimedia content of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG4 , the method of this embodiment includes steps S402 to S410.

[0081] In step S402 , an entrance to a multimedia content channel is displayed.

[0082] As shown in FIG. 5 , multiple channel entry controls may be displayed, and channel 2 may represent an entry to a multimedia content channel.

[0083] In step S404, in response to the triggering operation on the multimedia content channel entrance, the multimedia content channel is entered, a playback interface is displayed, the current multimedia content in the multimedia content stream is played in the playback interface, and a control for selecting an area is displayed. The selection area and / or the display area for recommended users are hidden.

[0084] The contents included in the selection area and the display area of ​​the recommended user can refer to the above embodiment and will not be described in detail here. When the selection area and / or the display area of ​​the recommended user are displayed in a floating layer, the control of the selection area and the control of the floating layer can be the same control.

[0085] As shown in FIG5 , the current user can trigger the entry control corresponding to channel 2.

[0086] In some embodiments, when the selection area is in a hidden state, only the first area is displayed, and controls for the selection area are displayed in the first area.

[0087] The first area may also display a display area for recommended users, which may be hidden. Alternatively, a third area may be included, which may display a display area for recommended users. Displaying the first and third areas indicates that the display area for recommended users is displayed. The first and third areas may be located in the same floating layer (or layer).

[0088] In some embodiments, after entering a multimedia content channel, before the control of the selection area is triggered for the first time, a prompt message is displayed at the control of the selection area. The prompt message can be used to prompt the current user to trigger the control of the selection area to display the selection area and / or the display area of ​​recommended users. The control of the selection area and the control of the display area of ​​recommended users can be different controls, and can trigger the display of the selection area and the display area of ​​recommended users respectively, or can use the same control of the selection area (or floating layer) to trigger the display of the selection area and the display area of ​​recommended users at the same time.

[0089] As shown in Figure 5, after entering channel 2, the current multimedia content can be played directly in the playback interface 502, without the current user having to trigger the playback of the current multimedia content again. The selection area is hidden and does not block the content being played, so that the current user can have a better immersive experience. A prompt message 503 can be displayed next to the control 503 of the selection area (or floating layer). The control 503 of the selection area (or floating layer) can also indicate the direction of display in the form of graphics or the like.

[0090] In step S406 , in response to a triggering operation on a control of a selection area, the selection area of ​​the multimedia content stream and / or the display area of ​​recommended users are displayed.

[0091] The current user can trigger the full display of the selection area and / or the recommended user display area by clicking the control of the selection area (or floating layer) or dragging the selection area (or floating layer) along the display direction. It should be noted that the recommended user display area can also be displayed by triggering a control different from the control of the selection area.

[0092] In some embodiments, the current multimedia content in the multimedia content stream is played in the playback interface, and the first area and the second area are displayed simultaneously, and the selection area is displayed in the second area. A display area for recommended users can also be displayed in the second area.

[0093] As shown in Figure 2 or Figure 3, the display area of ​​recommended users can also be displayed while displaying the selection area. The control of the selection area (or floating layer) can change the direction of the graphic indication to hide the selection area and / or the display area of ​​recommended users.

[0094] In step S408 , in response to a triggering operation on a control of the selection area, the selection area and / or the display area of ​​the recommended users is hidden.

[0095] In some embodiments, when the first and second areas are displayed simultaneously, in response to a triggering operation on a control for the selection area, the second area is hidden, and only the first area is displayed. The current user can trigger a control on the selection area (or floating layer) to hide the selection area and / or the display area of ​​recommended users again. For example, the current user can click on the control on the selection area (or floating layer) or drag the control on the selection area (or floating layer) in the direction of hiding.

[0096] The selection area and / or the display area of ​​recommended users can also be hidden in other ways. In some embodiments, the selection area is hidden in response to the selection area being displayed for a preset period of time, or in response to a preset operation on the playback interface. Similarly, the display area of ​​recommended users can be hidden in response to the display area of ​​recommended users being displayed for a preset period of time, or in response to a preset operation on the playback interface.

[0097] For example, if the selected area is displayed for a preset period of time but the current user does not perform any corresponding operation in the selected area, the selected area and / or the display area of ​​recommended users can be automatically hidden to enable the current user to better view the current multimedia content. For another example, the current user can perform a preset operation such as a click in the playback interface to hide the display area of ​​the selected area and / or the display area of ​​recommended users.

[0098] In some embodiments, after the selection area and / or the display area of ​​the recommended users are hidden for the first time, a prompt message may be displayed in the control of the selection area (or floating layer). Of course, if the display area of ​​the recommended users corresponds to a separate control, the prompt message may also be displayed in the control of the display area of ​​the recommended users.

[0099] In step S410 , in response to a selection operation on the identification of target multimedia content in the selection area, the target multimedia content is played.

[0100] In some embodiments, the target multimedia content is played and the selection area is hidden; or the target multimedia content is played, and the identification of the target multimedia content in the selection area is switched from the first display effect to the second display effect, and the identification of the current multimedia content is switched from the second display effect to the first display effect, wherein the identification of multimedia content other than the target multimedia content and the current multimedia content in the selection area is displayed with the first display effect.

[0101] When switching from the current multimedia content to the target multimedia content, the selection area and / or the display area for recommended users can be hidden, and then later re-displayed based on the methods of the aforementioned embodiments. Alternatively, when switching from the current multimedia content to the target multimedia content, the selection area can be displayed, but the display effects of the current multimedia content logo and the target multimedia content logo in the selection area are switched. The specific display effects can be referred to in the aforementioned embodiments and will not be described in detail here.

[0102] In some embodiments, when the target multimedia content has been played but not yet completed, the target multimedia content is played starting from a point in time when the target multimedia content has not yet been played according to the playing progress of the target multimedia content.

[0103] In some embodiments, in response to an update operation on a multimedia content channel, the multimedia content stream is updated. The display manner of the updated multimedia content stream, the display manner of the selection area and / or the display manner of the recommended user display area can refer to the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0104] In some embodiments, the multimedia content in the multimedia content stream includes a collection, which is a collection of multiple multimedia content items with the same theme. The collection identifier includes the theme of the collection. The collection identifier may also include an image, description information, etc. corresponding to the collection. The description information corresponding to the collection includes at least one of the following: the identity of the publishing user, the duration, the playback progress, the number of views, the number of likes (favorites), the number of collections, the number of comments, the number of reposts, and the current user's attention information for the publishing user.

[0105] In some embodiments, in response to a selection operation on an identifier of target multimedia content in a selection area, playing the target multimedia content includes: in response to a selection operation on an identifier of a collection in the selection area, playing multiple multimedia contents in the collection in the order of the multiple multimedia contents in the collection; or in response to a selection operation on an identifier of a collection in the selection area, displaying a details interface of the collection, wherein the details interface of the collection includes identifiers of multiple multimedia contents in the collection, and in response to a selection operation on an identifier of any multimedia content in the collection, playing the multimedia content corresponding to the selected identifier.

[0106] For example, when playing multiple multimedia contents in a collection in the order of the multiple multimedia contents in the collection, the identifiers of the multiple multimedia contents in the collection can be inserted into the selection area or the identifier of the collection can be expanded and displayed as the identifiers of the multiple multimedia contents in the collection.

[0107] A return control for the collection's details page may also be displayed, and the collection's details page may be returned to in response to triggering the return control.

[0108] The method of the above embodiment realizes hiding and displaying the selection area and / or the display area of ​​the recommended user, which can not only ensure the immersive viewing experience of the current user, but also improve the switching and display efficiency of multimedia content.
