Description

Audio playback method, electronic device, and storage medium

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application with application number 202311832450.2 filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on December 27, 2023, and priority to the Chinese patent application with the invention name “A method for audio playback, an electronic device and a storage medium”, all contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to an audio playback method, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Art

[0003] With the development and advancement of terminal technology, the number of users using multimedia playback applications (APPs) is increasing. Taking music as an example, users of music apps can generally be divided into members and non-members. Members can play the full content of paid music and free music, while non-members can only play the full content of free music.

[0004] Non-member users can only listen to snippets of paid music, not the full content. Currently, the music playback interface can be displayed within the music app. For non-member users, electronic devices can display a preview of paid music within the music playback interface to prompt them to listen to the preview of the paid music. Displaying the music playback interface isn't limited to the music app; electronic devices can also display it in the control center.

[0005] Currently, for non-member users, the music playback interface displayed in the control center does not display the preview clip icon of paid music. It is impossible to tell whether the music is free or paid, which is a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present application provides an audio playback method, an electronic device, and a storage medium, which enable the electronic device to display an audition clip of the currently playing music in an upper area outside the music application, thereby improving the user experience.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present application provides an audio playback method, where an electronic device includes a first application and a media broadcast control center application, and the method includes: the first application receives and responds to a first operation, and plays the first music in the first application; the first application sends the first music playback information of the first music to the media broadcast control center application; wherein the first music playback information includes: the total duration of the first music, the playback progress of the first music, the start time of the audition segment of the first music, and the end time of the audition segment of the first music; the electronic device displays a first interface including the media broadcast control center application, and the first interface includes the first music playback information.

[0008] Optionally, the first application may be a music application on the electronic device.

[0009] Optionally, the electronic device may display the first interface in a first area, where the first area is a display area outside the first application. For example, the first area may be a display area on a control center.

[0010] Optionally, the first application may also send other music information to the media playback control center application, for example, the first music playback information may also include any one or more of the following: the playback status of the first music, the picture of the first music, the name of the first music, and the name of the singer of the first music.

[0011] Through this method, the first application can send information such as the total duration of the first music, the start time of the audition segment, and the end time of the audition segment to the media broadcast control center application, so that the media broadcast control center application can display the total duration of the first music and the audition segment of the first music. The user can view the audition segment of the first music in the media broadcast control center application.

[0012] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, before the first application receives and responds to the first user operation, the method also includes: the electronic device displays a first prompt message, the first prompt message is used to prompt the user to download a first configuration file, the first configuration file includes multiple fields, the multiple fields include a music audition segment start field and a music audition segment end field; the electronic device receives and responds to the user's operation on the first option in the first prompt message, and downloads the first configuration file.

[0013] In this way, the first application on the electronic device can download the first configuration file for updating, so that the first application can report the start time and the end time of the audition segment of the music to the media broadcast control center application.

[0014] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, before the first application sends the first music playback information of the first music to the media playback control center application, the method further includes: the first application obtains the first music playback information based on the first configuration file.

[0015] Exemplarily, the first configuration file includes multiple fields, such as at least a set meta data field, a VIP start station field, a VIP stop station field, and a set play back state field (which is a field related to music playback progress). The VIP start station field is a field related to the start time of the audition segment. The VIP stop station field is a field related to the end time of the audition segment. The set meta data field is a field related to the total duration of the music. The set play back state field is a field related to the music playback progress.

[0016] In other embodiments, the first configuration file may further include other fields, such as a "set play picture" field, a "set music name" field, a "set musician name" field, and a "set play status" field. The "set play picture" field relates to a music picture field, the "set music name" field relates to a music name field, the "set musician name" field relates to a singer name field, and the "set play status" field relates to a play status field.

[0017] In this way, after the first application downloads the first configuration file for updating, the first application can obtain the first configuration file and generate music playback information based on multiple fields in the first configuration file.

[0018] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation method, after the media broadcast control center application displays the first interface on the first display area, the method also includes: the media broadcast control center application receives a second operation of the user dragging the playback progress of the first music from the first moment to the second moment; when the second moment is outside the audition clip of the first music, the media broadcast control center application rewinds the playback progress of the first music to the first moment.

[0019] Exemplarily, the first music playback information may include multiple fields, such as a VIP start station field, a VIP stop station field, a set meta data field, a set play back state field, etc. The media playback control center application may obtain the start time of the first music audition segment from the VIP start station field and obtain the end time of the first music audition segment from the VIP stop station field.

[0020] After the media broadcast control center application obtains the first music audition clip, the media broadcast control center application can determine whether the second moment is within the first music audition clip. For example, if the second moment is before the start time of the first music audition clip or after the end time of the first music audition clip, the media broadcast control center can determine that the second moment is outside the first music audition clip.

[0021] In response to the second moment being outside the first track's preview, the media broadcast control center application rewinds the first track's playback progress to the first moment. Because the media broadcast control center application retrieves the first track's preview, it can determine whether the second moment is outside the first track's preview and directly handle the process, rewinding to the initial playback time. This eliminates the need for the first application to respond, saving additional interaction between the first application and the media broadcast control center application.

[0022] In combination with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, when the second moment is within the audition segment of the first music, the media broadcast control center application sends a first instruction to the first application; in response to the first instruction, the first application continues to play the first music from the second moment; the first application sends the updated playback progress of the first music to the media broadcast control center application, and the updated playback progress includes the second moment.

[0023] After the media broadcast control center application obtains the audition clip of the first music piece, the media broadcast control center application can determine whether the second moment is within the audition clip of the first music piece. For example, if the second moment is after the start time of the audition clip of the first music piece and before the end time of the audition clip of the first music piece, the media broadcast control center can determine that the second moment is within the audition clip of the first music piece. Because the playback progress of the first music piece has changed, the first application needs to adjust the playback progress of the first music piece.

[0024] Optionally, the first application is not limited to sending only updated playback progress. It can also send other information to the media broadcast control center, such as the playback status of the first music, the picture of the first music, the name of the first music, the name of the singer of the first music, the total length of the first music, the start time of the audition clip of the first music, the end time of the audition clip of the first music, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0025] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, when the user of the first application is a non-member user and the first music is paid music, the duration of the trial listening segment of the first music is less than the total duration of the first music.

[0026] In combination with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, when the user of the first application is a member user and the first music is paid music, or the user of the first application is a member user and the first music is free music, or the user of the first application is a non-member user and the first music is free music, the length of the audition clip of the first music is equal to the total length of the first music.

[0027] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation method, after the first application sends the first music playback information of the first music to the media broadcast control center application, the method also includes: the first application determines whether the playback progress of the first music in the first music playback information is the end time of the first music; when it is determined that the playback progress of the first music in the first music playback information is the end time of the first music, the first application obtains the music playback information of the second music; the first application sends the music playback information of the second music to the media broadcast control center application; wherein, the music playback information of the second music includes: the total duration of the second music, the playback progress of the second music, the start time of the audition segment of the second music, and the end time of the audition segment of the second music; the electronic device displays a second interface including the media broadcast control center application, and the second interface includes the music playback information of the second music.

[0028] The music application can periodically / irregularly send the updated playback progress of the first music to the media broadcast control center, so that the media broadcast control center can periodically / irregularly update the playback progress of the first music. Before the music application sends the updated playback progress to the media broadcast control center, the music application will determine whether the playback progress sent last time (for example, the playback progress of the first music in the first music playback information) is the end playback time of the first music. When the playback progress sent last time is the end playback time of the first music, the music application automatically switches to playing the second music, and the music application sends the music playback information of the second music to the media broadcast control center, so that the media broadcast control center can display the music playback information of the second music in the control center. When the playback progress sent last time is not the end playback time of the first music, the music application also needs to send the updated playback progress of the first music to the media broadcast control center, where the updated playback progress of the first music is later than the playback progress sent last time.

[0029] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation method, the electronic device also includes a media session module and a media session service module; the first application sends the first music playback information of the first music to the media broadcast control center application, specifically including: the first application sends the first music playback information to the media session module; the media session module sends the first music playback information to the media session service module; the media session service module sends the first music playback information to the media broadcast control center application.

In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0054] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to imply or suggest relative importance or implicitly indicate the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0055] The term "user interface (UI)" in the following embodiments of this application refers to the media interface for interaction and information exchange between an application or operating system and a user, which realizes the conversion between the internal form of information and the form acceptable to the user. The commonly used form of user interface is the graphical user interface (GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operations displayed in a graphical manner. It can be a visual interface element such as text, icons, buttons, menus, tabs, text boxes, dialog boxes, status bars, navigation bars, widgets, etc. displayed on the display screen of a wearable device.

[0056] One or more multimedia applications may be installed on the electronic device 100 , and the user may play music, videos, e-books, etc. through the multimedia applications to enhance the user experience of the electronic device.

[0057] Multimedia application users can generally be divided into member users and non-member users. Member users can play the full content of paid multimedia files and the full content of free multimedia files within the multimedia application. Non-member users can only play clips of paid multimedia files and the full content of free multimedia files within the multimedia application.

[0058] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may not only display the multimedia file playback interface within the multimedia application, but may also display the multimedia file playback interface on the control center, so that the user can view detailed information of the currently playing multimedia content, such as the title of the multimedia content, the total duration of the multimedia content, and the playback progress of the multimedia content.

[0059] For example, the multimedia application may be a music application, and the multimedia content may be music within the music application. The following embodiments of the present application are described by taking the electronic device 100 playing music within the music application as an example, but this is not intended to be limiting.

[0060] 1A-1G are schematic diagrams showing an electronic device 100 playing music within a music application based on user operations.

[0061] Figure 1A shows the desktop of electronic device 100. The desktop of electronic device 100 displays application icons for multiple applications, such as a weather application icon, a stock application icon, a calculator application icon, a settings application icon, an email application icon, a music application icon, a video application icon, a browser application icon, a map application icon, a gallery application icon, a memo application icon, a voice assistant application icon, and a photo application icon. A page indicator is also displayed below the multiple application icons to indicate the total number of pages on the desktop and the position of the currently displayed page in relation to other pages. For example, the desktop may include three pages, and a white dot in the page indicator may indicate that the currently displayed page is the rightmost of the three pages. Optionally, multiple tray icons (such as a dialer application icon, a messaging application icon, a contacts application icon, and a camera application icon) are located below the page indicator. The tray icons remain displayed when switching between pages. Optionally, a status bar is displayed in a portion of the upper area of ​​the desktop. The status bar may include: one or more signal strength indicators for a mobile communication signal (also known as a cellular signal), a battery status indicator, a time indicator, and the like.

[0062] For example, as shown in FIG1A , electronic device 100 may receive a user input operation (e.g., a single click) on a music application icon on the desktop. In response to the user input operation, electronic device 100 may display user interface 1100 shown in FIG1B . User interface 1100 is the main interface of the music application provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0063] As shown in FIG1B , the user interface 1100 may include multiple music playback options, such as an artist list option, a song ranking option, a playlist option, a radio station option, and a recommended playlist option. The artist list option may display multiple songs corresponding to one or more artists based on user operations, the song ranking option may display multiple songs ranked from high to low in popularity based on user operations, the playlist option may view multiple songs collected or downloaded by the user based on user operations, the radio station option may play radio station audio based on user operations, and the recommended playlist option includes a playlist 1 option, which may display multiple songs recommended by the system to the user based on user operations.

[0064] For example, as shown in FIG1B , the electronic device 100 may receive a user input operation (e.g., a single click) for the song list 1 option in the user interface 1100. In response to the user input operation, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 1200 shown in FIG1C . The user interface 1200 includes multiple song options recommended by the system for the user. For example, the multiple song options may include, but are not limited to, song 1 options, song 2 options, song 3 options, and song 4 options. The electronic device 100 may receive a user input operation for any one of the multiple song options and play the song content.

[0065] For example, as shown in FIG1C , the electronic device 100 may receive a user input operation (such as a single click) for the Song 1 option in the user interface 1200 . In response to the user input operation, the electronic device 100 may play Song 1 and display the music playback interface of Song 1 .

[0066] As shown in FIG1D , the electronic device 100 displays a music playback interface 1300 for song 1. The music playback interface 1300 may include the music title “Song 1,” the total duration of the music (e.g., 4 minutes and 42 seconds), the music playback progress (e.g., playing to 42 seconds), a playback progress bar, a start / pause music playback option, a play previous music option, a play next music option, a download option, a share option, and more options.

[0067] Optionally, if the current user of the music application is a member user and song 1 is free music, the music playing interface 1300 shown in FIG1D may be a music playing interface of the free music, that is, the member user can listen to the full content of the free music.

[0068] If the current user of the music application is a member user and song 1 is a paid song, the music playing interface 1300 shown in FIG1D may also be a music playing interface of the paid song, that is, the member user can listen to the full content of the paid song.

[0069] If the current user of the music application is a non-member user and song 1 is free music, the music playing interface 1300 shown in FIG1D may be a music playing interface of the free music, that is, the non-member user can listen to the full content of the free music.

[0070] In some embodiments, in response to a user input operation (e.g., a single click) on the Song 1 option in the user interface 1200, the electronic device 100 may also display a user interface 1400 shown in FIG1E . The user interface 1400 is similar to the music playback interface 1300, except that an identifier 1401 and an identifier 1402 are further shown on the playback progress bar in the user interface 1400. The identifiers 1401 and 1402 are used to indicate that the current user can only listen to the segment between the identifiers 1401 and 1402, and cannot listen to the entire content of Song 1.

[0071] In some embodiments, marker 1401 may be referred to as an audition segment start marker, and marker 1402 may be referred to as an audition segment end marker.

[0072] Optionally, when the user of the current music application is a non-member user and song 1 is paid music, when the electronic device 100 plays song 1 based on user operation, the electronic device 100 can display the user interface 1400 shown in Figure 1E. The user interface 1400 shown in Figure 1E can be a music playback interface for paid music.

[0073] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 is not limited to displaying the music interface of the currently playing music within the music application. The electronic device 100 can also display the music interface of the currently playing music in other locations, such as in the control center.

[0074] In a possible implementation, the control center may be a pull-down notification bar.

[0075] For example, as shown in FIG1F , the electronic device 100 may receive a user sliding operation (e.g., a downward sliding operation) on the user interface 1400. In response to the user sliding operation, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 1500 shown in FIG1G . The user interface 1500 includes a plurality of device control options, such as a WLAN on / off option, a Bluetooth on / off option, a mobile data on / off option, an airplane mode on / off option, an automatic on / off option, an instant sharing on / off option, music playback information 1501, a brightness adjustment option, and the like.

[0076] Among them, the music playback information 1501 displays multiple information of the currently playing music, such as the music name, music picture, singer name, total music duration (for example, 4 minutes and 42 seconds), music playback progress (for example, played to 42 seconds), playback progress bar, start / pause music playback option, play previous music option, play next music option, etc.

[0077] However, as shown in Figure 1G, when logo 1401 and logo 1402 are displayed in the music application, if the current user of the music application is a non-member user and song 1 is paid music, the audition clip logo is not displayed in the drop-down notification bar. For example, logo 1401 and logo 1402 are not displayed, and the user cannot perceive whether the currently playing music displayed in the drop-down notification bar is paid music or free music, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0078] Secondly, in some embodiments, the user can also drag the playback progress bar to change the playback progress of the current music. However, if the user of the current music application is a non-member user and song 1 is paid music, the user cannot tell whether song 1 is paid music or free music. When the user drags the playback progress bar to the outside of the audition segment, some music applications will automatically switch to playing the next song, some will rewind to the music playback progress before the user dragged the playback progress bar, and some will rewind to the beginning of the audition segment to start playing the music. In other words, different music applications have different strategies in response to the user dragging the music playback progress outside the audition segment, which can easily cause confusion.

[0079] Based on this, the present application provides an audio playback method, which includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0080] Step 1: The music application receives a user operation to play a first piece of music and obtains music playing information of the first piece of music.

[0081] Music playback information includes, but is not limited to, any one or more of the following: music playback status, music title, music image, artist name, total music duration, music playback progress, audition segment start time, audition segment end time, etc. The audition segment start time and audition segment end time are used by the media playback control center to display the audition segment start mark and audition segment end mark in the control center.

[0082] Step 2: The music application sends the music playing information of the first music to the media play control center.

[0083] Step 3: The media broadcast control center displays a first user interface in the control center. The first user interface includes a start mark and an end mark of the audition segment of the first music.

[0084] In this way, the music application can report the start time and the end time of the audition segment of the first music to the media broadcast control center, so that the user can check in the control center whether the first music is free music or paid music.

[0085] In some embodiments, the user can also drag the playback progress bar to change the playback progress of the current music. However, if the user of the current music application is a non-member user and the first music is paid music, when the user drags the playback progress bar to drag the music playback progress outside the audition segment, the media playback control center can control the music playback progress to rewind to the music playback progress before the user dragged the playback progress bar, or control the music playback progress to rewind to the beginning of the audition segment to start playing music, or switch to playing the next music. Ensure that for paid music, the strategy in response to the user dragging the music playback progress outside the audition segment is the same, and no confusion will occur.

This memory can store instructions or data that have just been used or are being recycled by processor 110. If processor 110 needs to use the same instruction or data again, it can directly access the memory. This avoids duplicate accesses, reduces processor 110 latency, and thus improves system efficiency.

[0127] Pressure sensor 180A is used to sense pressure signals and convert them into electrical signals. In some embodiments, pressure sensor 180A can be located on display screen 194. There are many types of pressure sensors 180A, such as resistive, inductive, and capacitive. A capacitive pressure sensor can include at least two parallel plates made of conductive material. When force acts on pressure sensor 180A, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. Electronic device 100 determines the intensity of the pressure based on this change in capacitance. When a touch operation is applied to display screen 194, electronic device 100 detects the touch intensity based on pressure sensor 180A. Electronic device 100 can also calculate the touch location based on the detection signal from pressure sensor 180A. In some embodiments, touch operations applied to the same touch location but with different touch intensities can correspond to different operation instructions. For example, when a touch operation with an intensity less than a first pressure threshold is applied to a short message application icon, a command to view short messages is executed. When a touch operation with an intensity greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold is applied to a short message application icon, a command to create a new short message is executed.

[0143] FIG3 shows a schematic diagram of a software architecture of an electronic device 100 .

[0144] The software system of the electronic device 100 can adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a micro-kernel architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. In the embodiment of the present invention, the Android system with a layered architecture is used as an example to illustrate the software structure of the electronic device 100.

[0145] As shown in Figure 3, a layered architecture divides the system into several layers, each with distinct roles and responsibilities. Layers communicate with each other via software interfaces. In some embodiments, the system can be divided into four layers: application layer, application framework layer, system library layer, and kernel layer, from top to bottom.

[0146] The application layer may include a series of application packages, which may include a music application and a media playback control center, etc. Among them, the music application may be used to play music, and the media playback control center may be used to display music information of the currently playing music in the control center.

[0147] Not limited to music applications and media playback control center, the application package can also include camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, music, video, short message and other applications.

[0148] The application framework layer includes a media session module (media session) and a media control module (media controller).

[0149] The system library includes a media session service module (media session service).

[0150] The media session module is used to receive music information sent by the music application and send the music information to the media session service module. The media session service module then sends the music information to the media broadcast control center. The media broadcast control center can display the music information in the control center so that the user can view the music information of the first music in the control center.

[0151] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may also receive user operations in the control center to change music playback information. In response to the user operation to change the music playback information, the media playback control center may send a first instruction to the media control module, indicating the user operation to change the music playback information. The media playback control center then sends the first instruction to the media session module, which then sends the first instruction to the music application.

[0152] In response to the first instruction, the music application can play music based on the updated music playback information. The music application also needs to send the updated music playback information to the media session module, which then sends the updated music playback information to the media playback control center, which can display the updated music playback information in the control center.

[0153] The application framework layer can also provide an application programming interface (API) and a programming framework for the applications in the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

[0154] For example, the application framework layer may also include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a telephony manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, and the like. The window manager manages window programs. It can obtain the display size, determine whether a status bar exists, lock the screen, and take screenshots. The content provider stores and retrieves data and makes it accessible to applications. This data may include video, images, audio, incoming and outgoing calls, browsing history and bookmarks, and a phone book. The view system includes visual controls, such as those for displaying text and images. The view system can be used to build applications. The display interface may consist of one or more views. For example, a display interface including a text notification icon may include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying images. The telephony manager provides communication functions for the electronic device 100, such as managing call status (including connected and ended calls). The resource manager provides various resources for applications, such as localized strings, icons, images, layout files, video files, and the like. The notification manager enables applications to display notifications in the status bar. These notifications can be used to convey notification messages and can be displayed for a short period of time, disappearing automatically without user interaction. For example, the notification manager is used to notify you of download completions, message reminders, and more. The notification manager can also appear as an icon or scrolling text bar in the system's top status bar, such as notifications from background applications. It can also appear as a dialog window on the screen. Examples include text messages in the status bar, beeping, vibrating electronic devices, or flashing indicator lights.

[0155] The system library can also include multiple functional modules. For example: surface manager, media library, 3D graphics processing library (for example: OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engine (for example: SGL), etc. The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provides the fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications. The media library supports playback and recording of a variety of commonly used audio and video formats, as well as static image files, etc. The media library can support a variety of audio and video encoding formats, such as: MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc. The 3D graphics processing library is used to implement 3D graphics drawing, image rendering, synthesis, and layer processing, etc. The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

[0156] The kernel layer is the layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer includes at least display driver, camera driver, audio driver, sensor driver, etc.

[0157] The following describes in detail an audio playback method provided in an embodiment of the present application in conjunction with a UI diagram and a software module interaction diagram.

[0158] 1. The music application obtains a first configuration file and reports the start time and the end time of the audition segment to the media broadcast control center based on the first configuration file.

[0159] Based on the above analysis, when a music app plays paid music, it does not report the start and end times of the audition clip to the media broadcast control center. The media broadcast control center is also unable to display the audition clip in the control center. Non-member users of the music app are unable to determine whether the music is free or paid. This is because the music app lacks fields for the start and end times of the audition clip. When the music app starts playing music, it does not report the start and end times of the audition clip to the media session module, and the media session module does not report the start and end times of the audition clip to the media broadcast control center.

[0160] In order to enable the music application to report the start time and end time of the audition segment to the media broadcast control center, the music application can add a new audition segment start time field and an audition segment end time field, and the media session module can also add a new audition segment start time field and an audition segment end time field, so that the music application can report the start time and end time of the audition segment to the media session module, and the media session module will then report the start time and end time of the audition segment to the media broadcast control center.

[0161] In some embodiments, the audition segment start time field and the audition segment end time field can be set in the first configuration file. The electronic device 100 can download the first configuration file from the music application server and report the audition segment start time and the audition segment end time to the media session module based on the audition segment start time field and the audition segment end time field preset in the first configuration file.

[0162] Optionally, the first configuration file may include not only the audition clip start time field and the audition clip end time field, but also other fields, such as the playback status field, the music name field, the singer name field, the total music duration field, the music playback progress field, the music picture field, etc.

[0163] Table 1

[0164] Table 1 shows a schematic diagram of the composition structure of a first configuration file. As shown in Table 1, the first configuration file includes multiple fields, such as a vip start station field, a vip stop station field, a set meta data field, a set play back state field, a set play picture field, a set music name field, a set musician name field, and a set play statua field. Among them, the vip start station field is a field about the start time of the audition clip. The vip stop station field is a field about the end time of the audition clip. The set meta data field is a field about the total length of the music. The set play back state field is a field about the music playback progress field. The set play picture field is a field about the music picture field. The set music name field is a field about the music name field. The set musician name field is a field about the singer name field. The set play statua field is a field about the playback status field.

[0165] After obtaining the first configuration file, the music application can report the start time of the audition segment to the media session module based on the VIP start station field in the first configuration file. The music application can also report the end time of the audition segment to the media session module based on the VIP stop station field in the first configuration file.

[0166] Optionally, the first configuration file may also be updated periodically / irregularly.

[0167] Optionally, the first configuration file in the media session module may be pre-installed in the electronic device 100 when the electronic device 100 leaves the factory. The first configuration file in the media session module may also be downloaded periodically / irregularly by the electronic device 100 from the music application server.

[0168] The music application on the electronic device 100 may download the first configuration file from the music application server.

[0169] In some embodiments, if the music application is not pre-installed with the first configuration file when the electronic device 100 downloads the music application, after downloading the music application, the music application server can send the first configuration file to the electronic device 100, so that the electronic device 100 can bind and store the first configuration file and the music application. For example, the first configuration file can be stored in the same area as the installation file of the music application.

[0170] For example, as shown in FIG4A , in response to the first configuration file sent by the music application server, electronic device 100 may display prompt bar 5100 shown in FIG4A . Prompt bar 5100 includes the text "Music application has been updated. Do you want to download the update file?" This text prompts the user whether to update the music application. Prompt bar 5100 also includes a confirmation option and a cancel option. The user can use the confirmation option to update the music application and obtain the first configuration file. The user can also use the cancel option to stop updating the music application.

[0171] When the user confirms to update the music application, as shown in Figure 4A, the electronic device 100 can receive the user's input operation (such as a single click) for the confirmation option in the prompt bar 5100. In response to the user's input operation, the electronic device 100 can display the prompt bar 5101 shown in Figure 4B, which includes the text "Downloading update file". The prompt bar 5101 also includes a download progress 5102 and a cancel option 5103. The text can be used to prompt the user that the current electronic device 100 is downloading the first configuration file from the music application server. The prompt type of the text can also be any one or more of a picture prompt, a dynamic image prompt, and a video prompt. The download progress 5102 is used to indicate the download progress of the first configuration file downloaded by the electronic device 100 from the music application server. The cancel option 5103 can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to cancel downloading the first configuration file from the music application server.

[0172] Through this method, the electronic device 100 can subsequently download the first configuration file from the music application server.

[0173] 2. The music app plays music and displays the music information of the currently playing music in the control center.

[0174] 4C and 4D show UI diagrams showing the electronic device 100 displaying music information of the currently playing music in the control center.

[0175] 1A to 1E , the electronic device 100 may receive a user operation to play music in a music application, such as Music 1, and display the music playback interface 1300 shown in FIG. 1D or the user interface 1400 shown in FIG. 1E .

[0176] Based on the above description, it can be seen that when the user of the current music application is a member user and song 1 is free music, the music playback interface 1300 shown in Figure 1D can be a music playback interface for free music.

[0177] When the user of the current music application is a member user and song 1 is paid music, the music playback interface 1300 shown in FIG1D may also be a music playback interface for paid music.

[0178] When the user of the current music application is a non-member user and song 1 is free music, the music playback interface 1300 shown in FIG1D may be a music playback interface for free music.

[0179] When the user of the current music application is a non-member user and song 1 is paid music, the user interface 1400 shown in Figure 1E can be a music playback interface for paid music.

[0180] The electronic device 100 is not limited to displaying the music interface of the currently playing music in the music application. The electronic device 100 can also display the music interface of the currently playing music in other locations, such as in the control center.

[0181] In a possible implementation, the control center may be a pull-down notification bar.

[0182] For example, as shown in FIG4C , the electronic device 100 may receive a sliding operation (eg, a downward sliding operation) from the user on the user interface 1400 . In response to the sliding operation from the user, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 1600 shown in FIG4D .

[0183] The user interface 1600 shown in Figure 4D is similar to the user interface 1500 shown in Figure 1F, except that the music playback information 1601 shown in the user interface 1600 also includes an identifier 1602 and an identifier 1603. The identifier 1602 and the identifier 1603 are used to indicate that the current user can only listen to the segment between the identifier 1602 and the identifier 1603, and cannot listen to the complete content of song 1.

[0184] In some embodiments, the logo 1602 may not be displayed in the music playback information 1601.

[0185] In other embodiments, if the user of the music application is a member user and song 1 is paid music, or the user of the music application is a non-member user and song 1 is free music, or the current user of the music application is a member user and song 1 is free music, the electronic device 100 may not display the logo 1602 and logo 1603 shown in Figure 4D.

[0186] In this way, if the music application is pre-installed with the first configuration file, the music application can report the audition segment start time and audition segment end time fields in the first configuration file to the media session module. The media session module then reports the audition segment start time and audition segment end time to the media broadcast control center. The media broadcast control center can then display the music audition segment to improve the user experience.

[0187] As shown in FIG5 , FIG5 shows an interactive schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 displaying initial music playing information in the control center.

[0188] The electronic device 100 may display the initial music playing information in the control center, including but not limited to the following steps:

[0189] 1. The music app receives a user action to play music.

[0190] The user operation of playing music can refer to the description in the embodiments of Figures 1A to 1C. The music application can play the music in the music application based on the user operation and display the music playback interface.

[0191] 2. The music application sends the initial music playing information of the first music to the media session module.

[0192] In response to the user operation of playing music, the music application can obtain initial music playing information of the first music and send the initial music playing information of the first music to the media session module.

[0193] The initial music playback information of the first music may include but is not limited to any one or more of the following: playback status (such as playing status or paused playback status), music name, music picture, singer name, total music duration, music playback progress, audition clip start time, audition clip end time, etc.

[0194] Optionally, when the first music is free music, the initial music playback information of the first music may not include the start time of the trial listening segment and the end time of the trial listening segment.

[0195] Optionally, when the first music is free music, the start time of the trial listening segment may be the start time of playing the first music, and the end time of the trial listening segment may be the end time of playing the first music.

[0196] When the first music is paid music, the initial music playing information of the first music may include the start time of the trial listening segment and the end time of the trial listening segment.

[0197] Optionally, when the user of the music application is a member user and the first music piece is a paid music piece, the start time of the trial listening clip can be the start time of the first music piece, and the end time of the trial listening clip can be the end time of the first music piece. That is, the trial listening clip is the complete content of the first music piece, and the member user can listen to the complete content of the first music piece.

[0198] 3. The media session module sends the initial music playing information of the first music to the media session service module.

[0199] After the media session module receives the initial music playing information sent by the music application, the media session service module sends the initial music playing information of the first music to the media session service module.

[0200] 4. The media session service module sends the initial music playing information of the first music to the media play control center.

[0201] 5. The media playback control center displays the initial music playback information of the first music in the control center.

[0202] After receiving the initial music playback information of the first music sent by the media session service module, the media playback control center can display the initial music playback information of the first music in the control center, so that the user can view the initial music playback information of the first music in the control center.

[0203] Exemplarily, the media playback control center can also display the music playback information 1501 shown in Figure 1G in the control center. In this way, the electronic device 100 can quickly view the music information of the music currently playing by the music application in the control center without opening the music application.

[0204] Exemplarily, the media playback control center can display the music playback information 1601 shown in Figure 4D in the control center. In this way, when the user of the music application is a non-member user and the first music is paid music, the user can view the audition clip of the first music in the control center.

[0205] FIG6 is a flowchart of an audio playback method provided by the present application.

[0206] As shown in Figure 6, the software architecture of electronic device 100 includes, but is not limited to, the interaction and collaboration between the application layer, application framework layer, system library, and kernel layer. The application layer primarily involves music applications and a media playback control center. The application framework layer primarily involves a media session module and a media control module. The system library primarily includes, among other things, a media session service module.

[0207] After the electronic device 100 receives the user's operation to play the first music in the music application, the electronic device 100 may display the music information of the first music in the control center, including but not limited to the following steps.

[0208] S601: The music application receives a user operation to play music.

[0209] The user operation of playing music can refer to the description in the embodiments of Figures 1A to 1C. The music application can play the music in the music application based on the user operation and display the music playback interface.

[0210] For example, the music playing interface may be the music playing interface 1300 shown in FIG1D . The music playing interface may also be the user interface 1400 shown in FIG1E .

[0211] S602: The music application obtains a first configuration file.

[0212] S603: The music application generates initial music playing information of the first music based on multiple fields in the first configuration file.

[0213] Optionally, the music application may not only be based on the multiple fields in the first configuration file, but may also obtain the user account information logged into the music application and the music information of the first music piece to generate the initial music playback information for the first music piece. The user account information logged into the music application may include both member and non-member users, and the music information of the first music piece may include both free and paid music. The user account information and music information are used to determine the start and end times of the audition segment in the music playback information.

[0214] For example, if the first piece of music is paid music and the user of the music application is a member, or if the first piece of music is free music and the user of the music application is a member, or if the first piece of music is free music and the user of the music application is a non-member, the current user has permission to listen to the entire content of the first piece of music. In this case, the start time of the audition clip in the music playback information is the same as the start time of the first piece of music, and the end time of the audition clip in the music playback information is the same as the stop time of the first piece of music. If the first piece of music is paid music and the user of the music application is a non-member, the current user does not have permission to listen to the entire content of the first piece of music and can only listen to a portion of the first piece of music. In this case, at least one of the start time and the end time of the audition clip is different from the start time and the stop time of the first piece of music.

[0215] In response to a user operation of playing music, the music application may obtain a first configuration file and obtain multiple fields from the first configuration file.

[0216] Exemplarily, the multiple fields in the first configuration file may be the multiple fields shown in Table 1, and the music application may generate initial music playback information of the first music based on the multiple fields.

[0217] The initial music playback information of the first music may include, but is not limited to, any one or more of the following: playback status (e.g., playing status or paused status), music title, music image, singer name, total music duration, music playback progress, audition segment start time, audition segment end time, etc. The audition segment start time may refer to the start time of the music audition segment, and the audition segment end time may refer to the end time of the music audition segment.

[0218] In some embodiments, when the start time of the music audition segment is the start time of the first music, the start time of the audition segment in the initial music playback information of the first music can be the same as the start time of the first music, for example, it can be time 0.

[0219] In some embodiments, when the end time of the music audition segment is the end time of the first music, the end time of the audition segment in the initial music playback information of the first music may be the same as the stop time of the first music.

[0220] S604: The music application sends initial music playing information of the first music to the media session module.

[0221] S605: The media session module sends the initial music playing information of the first music to the media session service module.

[0222] S606: The media session service module sends the initial music playing information of the first music to the media play control center.

[0223] After the music application obtains the initial music playback information of the first music, the music application sends the initial music playback information of the first music to the media session module, the media session module then sends the initial music playback information of the first music to the media session service module, and the media session service module then sends the initial music playback information of the first music to the media broadcast control center, so that the media broadcast control center can display the music playback interface of the first music in the control center based on the initial music playback information of the first music.

[0224] S607: The media playback control center displays a first user interface in the control center, where the first user interface includes initial music playback information of the first music.

[0225] After receiving the initial music playing information of the first music sent by the media session service module, the media broadcast control center displays a first user interface in the control center, where the first user interface includes the initial music playing information of the first music.

[0226] Among them, the first user interface may include playing status, music name, music picture, singer name, total music duration, and music playing progress.

[0227] In some embodiments, when the user of the music application is a member and the first music is paid music, or the user of the music application is a member and the first music is free music, or the user of the music application is a non-member and the first music is free music, the first user interface may not include the start time and end time of the audition segment. For example, the first user interface may be user interface 1500 shown in Figure 1G, and user interface 1500 includes music playback information 1501. In this way, the electronic device 100 can quickly view the music information of the music currently playing in the music application in the control center without opening the music application.

[0228] In some embodiments, when the user of the music application is a non-member user and the first music is paid music, the first user interface may include an audition segment start identifier and / or an audition segment end identifier, the audition segment start identifier is used to indicate the audition segment start time, and the audition segment end identifier is used to indicate the audition segment end time. Exemplarily, the first user interface may be the user interface 1600 shown in FIG4D , the user interface 1600 includes music playback information 1601, the audition segment start identifier may be identifier 1602 in the music playback information 1601, and the audition segment end identifier may be identifier 1603 in the music playback information 1601. In this way, when the user of the music application is a non-member user and the first music is paid music, the user can view the audition segment of the first music in the control center.

[0229] Optionally, since the playing progress of the first music is continuously updated, S602-S607 may be executed continuously / irregularly / periodically so that the media broadcast control center can update the playing progress of the first music.

[0230] 3. The media playback control center receives the user operation to change the music playback information and updates the music information in the control center.

[0231] Exemplarily, the user operation of changing the music playing information may include but is not limited to any one of the following: pausing the playing of music, switching to playing the previous music, switching to playing the next music, adjusting the playing progress of the first music, and the like.

[0232] In some embodiments, the user operation of changing the music playing information can be divided into two categories, namely, the user operation of adjusting the playing progress of the first music and the user operation of not adjusting the playing progress of the first music.

[0233] 7A-7B are schematic diagrams showing the media broadcast control center responding to a user operation of not adjusting the playback progress of the first music.

[0234] Exemplarily, the user operation other than adjusting the playing progress of the first music may be a user operation of pausing the playing of the first music.

[0235] As shown in FIG7A , the electronic device 100 may receive a user input operation (e.g., a single click) for the start / pause music playback option in the user interface 1600. In response to the user input operation, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 7100 shown in FIG7B . The user interface 7100 is similar to the user interface 1600, except that the display format of the start / pause music playback option in the user interface 7100 is switched from the currently playing state to the stopped state. When the music application pauses song 1, the media playback control center also updates the music playback information accordingly, i.e., the music playback information indicating that song 1 is paused is displayed in the control center.

[0236] The user operation other than adjusting the playing progress of the first music may also be other operations, such as switching to playing the previous music, switching to playing the next music, etc.

[0237] FIG8 shows an interactive schematic diagram of a media playback control center displaying and updating music playback information based on a user operation of a non-adjusted first music playback progress in a control center.

[0238] 1. The media broadcast control center receives a user operation other than adjusting the playback progress of the first music.

[0239] For example, the user operation other than adjusting the playing progress of the first music may be an input operation for the option of starting / pausing playing music as shown in FIG. 7A .

[0240] In other embodiments, other operations other than adjusting the playing progress of the first music may be performed, such as switching to playing the previous music, switching to playing the next music, etc.

[0241] 2. The media broadcast control center sends a first instruction to the media control module.

[0242] 3. The media control module sends a first instruction to the media session module.

[0243] 4. The media session module sends a first instruction to the music application.

[0244] In response to a user operation other than adjusting the playback progress of the first music, the media playback control center may send a first instruction to the media control module, the media control module may send the first instruction to the media session module, and the media session module may send the first instruction to the music application.

[0245] The first instruction is used to indicate the type of user operation. For example, the type of user operation may include but is not limited to starting / pausing music, switching to playing the previous music, switching to playing the next music, etc.

[0246] 5. In response to the first instruction, the music application plays the second music or pauses the first music.

[0247] After receiving the first instruction sent by the media session module, the music application may play the second music or pause the first music in response to the first instruction.

[0248] In some embodiments, if the first instruction indicates a user operation of pausing playing of music, then in response to the first instruction, the music application pauses playing of the first music.

[0249] In some embodiments, if the first instruction indicates a user operation of switching to playing the previous music or switching to playing the next music, then in response to the first instruction, the music application can continue to play the second music, which is the previous music or the next music of the first music.

[0250] In some embodiments, in response to the first instruction, the music application also needs to obtain updated music playback information so that the media playback control center can update the music information of the currently playing music.

[0251] Among them, the updated music playback information may include but is not limited to any one or more of the following: playback status (such as playing status or paused playback status), music name, music picture, singer name, total music duration, music playback progress, audition clip start time, audition clip end time, etc.

[0252] The updated music playing information may be different from the initial music playing information.

[0253] For example, when the user operation other than adjusting the playback progress of the first music is a user operation to pause the playback of the first music, the playback status in the updated music playback information is different from the playback status in the initial music playback information. For example, the playback status in the initial music playback information is the playing status, and the playback status in the updated music playback information is the paused playback status.

[0254] In some embodiments, when the user operation other than adjusting the playback progress of the first music is a user operation of pausing the playback of the first music, the updated music playback information may also include only the playback status (e.g., paused playback status). In this way, the amount of information sent by the music application to the media playback control center can be reduced.

[0255] For example, when the user operation other than adjusting the playback progress of the first music is to switch to playing the previous music or to switch to playing the next music, the music name, music picture, singer name, total music duration, music playback progress, audition clip start time, and audition clip end time in the updated music playback information are different from the music name, music picture, singer name, total music duration, music playback progress, audition clip start time, and audition clip end time in the initial music playback information.

[0256] 6. The music application sends the updated music playback information to the media session module.

[0257] 7. The media session module sends the updated music playback information to the media session service module.

[0258] 8. The media session service module sends the updated music playback information to the media playback control center.

[0259] 9. The media playback control center displays updated music playback information in the control center.

[0260] In response to the first instruction, after the music application obtains the updated music playback information, the music application sends the updated music playback information to the media session module, the media session module then sends the updated music playback information to the media session service module, and the media session service module then sends the updated music playback information to the media playback control center.

[0261] After receiving the updated music playback information sent by the media session service module, the media playback control center may display the updated music playback information in the control center.

[0262] For example, when the user operation other than adjusting the playback progress of the first music is to pause the playback of the first music, the media playback control center can display the user interface 7100 shown in Figure 7B based on the updated music playback information, that is, the media playback control center displays the music pause playback interface in the control center.

[0263] FIG9 shows a schematic flow chart of another audio playback method provided by the present application.

[0264] S901: The media broadcast control center receives a user operation other than adjusting the playback progress of a first piece of music.

[0265] User operations other than adjusting the playing progress of the first music may include but are not limited to any of the following: starting / pausing playing music, switching to playing the previous music, switching to playing the next music, etc.

[0266] Exemplarily, the user operation other than adjusting the playing progress of the first music may be an input operation for the start / pause music playing option shown in FIG. 7A , which switches the first music from the start playing pause state to the pause playing state.

[0267] S902: The media broadcast control center sends a first instruction to the media control module.

[0268] S903: The media control module sends a first instruction to the media session module.

[0269] S904: The media session module sends a first instruction to the music application.

[0270] In response to a user operation other than adjusting the playback progress of the first music, the media playback control center sends a first instruction to the media control module, the media control module sends the first instruction to the media session module, and the media session module sends the first instruction to the music application.

[0271] The first instruction is used to indicate the type of user operation. For example, the type of user operation may include but is not limited to starting / pausing music, switching to playing the previous music, switching to playing the next music, etc.

[0272] S905: In response to the first instruction, the music application plays the second music or pauses the first music.

[0273] After receiving the first instruction sent by the media session module, the music application may play the second music or pause the first music in response to the first instruction.

[0274] In some embodiments, if the first instruction indicates a user operation of pausing playing of music, then in response to the first instruction, the music application pauses playing of the first music.

[0275] In some embodiments, if the first instruction indicates a user operation of switching to playing the previous music or switching to playing the next music, then in response to the first instruction, the music application can continue to play the second music, which is the previous music or the next music of the first music.

[0276] S906: The music application obtains updated music playback information.

[0277] Updated music playback information may include but is not limited to any one or more of the following: playback status (such as playing status or paused playback status), music name, music picture, singer name, total music duration, music playback progress, audition clip start time, audition clip end time, etc.

[0278] The updated music playing information may be different from the initial music playing information.

[0279] For example, when the user operation other than adjusting the playback progress of the first music is a user operation to pause the playback of the first music, the playback status in the updated music playback information is different from the playback status in the initial music playback information. For example, the playback status in the initial music playback information is the playing status, and the playback status in the updated music playback information is the paused playback status.

[0280] In some embodiments, when the user operation other than adjusting the playback progress of the first music is a user operation of pausing the playback of the first music, the updated music playback information may also include only the playback status (e.g., paused playback status). In this way, the amount of information sent by the music application to the media playback control center can be reduced.

[0281] For example, when the user operation other than adjusting the playback progress of the first music is to switch to playing the previous music or to switch to playing the next music, the music name, music picture, singer name, total music duration, music playback progress, audition segment start time, and audition segment end time in the updated music playback information are different from the music name, music picture, singer name, total music duration, music playback progress, audition segment start time, and audition segment end time in the initial music playback information.

[0282] The audition clip start time may refer to the start time of the music audition clip, and the audition clip end time may refer to the end time of the music audition clip.

[0283] In some embodiments, when the start time of the music audition segment is the start time of the first music or the second music, the start time of the audition segment in the updated music playback information can be the same as the start time of the first music or the second music, for example, it can be time 0.

[0284] In some embodiments, when the end time of the music audition segment is the end time of the first music, the end time of the audition segment in the initial music playback information of the first music can be the same as the stop time of the first music or the second music.

[0285] S907: The music application sends the updated music playing information to the media session module.

[0286] S908: The media session module sends the updated music playing information to the media session service module.

[0287] S909: The media session service module sends the updated music playback information to the media playback control center.

[0288] After the music application obtains the updated music playback information, the music application sends the updated music playback information to the media session module, the media session module then sends the updated music playback information to the media session service module, and the media session service module then sends the updated music playback information to the media broadcast control center, so that the media broadcast control center can display the music playback interface of the first music or the second music in the control center based on the updated music playback information.

[0289] S910: The media playback control center displays a second user interface in the control center, where the second user interface includes updated music playback information.

[0290] After receiving the updated music playing information sent by the media session service module, the media play control center displays a second user interface in the control center, where the second user interface includes the updated music playing information.

[0291] Among them, the second user interface may include the playing status, music name, music picture, singer name, total music duration, and music playing progress.

[0292] In some embodiments, when the user of the music application is a member user and the first music or the second music is paid music, or the user of the music application is a member user and the first music or the second music is free music, or the user of the music application is a non-member user and the first music or the second music is free music, the second user interface may not include the start time and the end time of the audition segment. In this way, the electronic device 100 can quickly view the music information of the music currently playing in the music application in the control center without opening the music application.

[0293] In some embodiments, when the user of the music application is a non-member user and the first music or the second music is paid music, the second user interface may include an audition segment start identifier and / or an audition segment end identifier, the audition segment start identifier is used to indicate the audition segment start time, and the audition segment end identifier is used to indicate the audition segment end time. Exemplarily, the second user interface may be user interface 7100 shown in FIG7B , user interface 7100 includes updating music playback information, the audition segment start identifier may be identifier 1602, and the audition segment end identifier may be identifier 1603. In this way, when the user of the music application is a non-member user and the first music is paid music, the user can view the audition segment of the first music or the second music in the control center.

[0294] Optionally, when the first music is paused, the playing progress of the first music also stops updating, and S906-S910 do not need to be executed continuously / irregularly / periodically.

[0295] Optionally, when the music application plays the second music, since the playing progress of the second music is continuously updated, S906-S910 can be executed continuously / irregularly / periodically so that the media playback control center can update the playing progress of the second music.

[0296] 10A to 10D are schematic diagrams showing the media playback control center responding to a user operation of adjusting the playback progress of the first music.

[0297] The first music may be paid music or free music.

[0298] If the first music is paid music and the user of the music application is a member, the first user interface may not include a preview segment start marker and a preview segment end marker. For example, the first user interface may be user interface 1500 shown in FIG1G . Optionally, the first user interface may also include a preview segment start marker and a preview segment end marker. The preview segment start marker may be located at the beginning of the first music, and the preview segment end marker may be located at the end of the first music.

[0299] If the first music is paid music and the user of the music application is a non-member user, the first user interface may include a trial listening segment start mark and / or a trial listening segment end mark. For example, the first user interface may be user interface 1600 shown in FIG4D .

[0300] In the case that the first music is free music, when the user of the music application is a non-member user or a member user, the first user interface may not include the audition segment start mark and the audition segment end mark. For example, the first user interface may be the user interface 1500 shown in Figure 1G.

[0301] First, the specific implementation of the media broadcast control center responding to the user operation of adjusting the playback progress of the first music when the first music is paid music is introduced.

[0302] 10A-10B show a UI diagram of a media broadcast control center responding to a user operation of adjusting the playback progress of the first music when the first music is paid music and the user of the music application is a non-member user.

[0303] As shown in Figure 10A, the initial playing progress of the first music is located at position 1604 shown in Figure 10A. The user can speed up the playing progress of the first music, and the user can also slow down the playing progress of the first music.

[0304] For example, as shown in FIG. 10B , the electronic device 100 may receive a user operation of dragging the play progress bar from position 1604 to position 1605 .

[0305] In response to the user's drag operation, when position 1605 is still within the audition segment of the first music, as shown in FIG10B , electronic device 100 may display user interface 7200 to adjust the playback progress of the first music to a target playback progress, which may be position 1605 shown in user interface 7200. The target playback progress is different from the initial playback progress.

[0306] Figures 10C-10D show UI diagrams of the media broadcast control center responding to the user's operation of adjusting the playback progress of the first music when the first music is paid music and the user of the music application is a member user, or the first music is free music and the user of the music application is a member user, or the first music is free music and the user of the music application is a non-member user.

[0307] If the first music is paid music and the user of the music application is a member, or if the first music is free music and the user of the music application is a member, or if the first music is free music and the user of the music application is a non-member, the user can listen to the entire content of the first music. The user can adjust the playback progress of the first music to any position.

[0308] As shown in Figure 10C, the initial playing progress of the first music is located at position 1604 shown in Figure 10C. The user can speed up the playing progress of the first music, or the user can slow down the playing progress of the first music.

[0309] For example, as shown in FIG. 10C , the electronic device 100 may receive a user operation of dragging the play progress bar from position 1604 to position 1607 .

[0310] In response to the user's drag operation, since the user can listen to the entire content of the first music, as shown in FIG10D , the electronic device 100 can display a user interface 7300 and adjust the playback progress of the first music to a target playback progress, which can be position 1607 shown in the user interface 7300. The target playback progress is different from the initial playback progress.

[0311] FIG11 shows an interactive schematic diagram of a media playback control center displaying and updating music playback information based on a user operation of adjusting the playback progress of a first piece of music in a control center.

[0312] 1. The media playback control center receives a user operation to adjust the first music to the target playback progress.

[0313] For example, the user operation of adjusting the play progress of the first music may be the user operation of dragging the play progress bar from position 1604 to position 1605 as shown in FIG. 10A .

[0314] Exemplarily, the user operation of adjusting the play progress of the first music may also be the user operation of dragging the play progress bar from position 1604 to position 1607 as shown in FIG. 10C .

[0315] 2. The media broadcast control center determines that the target playback progress is within the trial listening segment of the first music, or that the current user has the right to listen to the full content of the first music.

[0316] In response to the user operation of adjusting the first music to the target playback progress, the media playback control center can determine that the target playback progress is within the audition segment of the first music, or that the current user has the authority to listen to the complete content of the first music.

[0317] If the first music is paid music and the user of the music application is a member, or if the first music is free music and the user of the music application is a member, or if the first music is free music and the user of the music application is a non-member, the current user has the right to listen to the entire content of the first music. The user can adjust the playback progress of the first music to any position.

[0318] 3. The media broadcast control center sends a first instruction to the media control module.

[0319] 4. The media control module sends a first instruction to the media session module.

[0320] 5. The media session module sends a first instruction to the music application.

[0321] In response to the user operation of adjusting the first music to the target playback progress, when the target playback progress is within the audition segment of the first music, or the current user has the authority to listen to the complete content of the first music, the media broadcast control center can send a first instruction to the media control module, the media control module then sends the first instruction to the media session module, and the media session module then sends the first instruction to the music application.

[0322] The first instruction is used to indicate the type of user operation. For example, the type of user operation may include adjusting the first music to the target playback progress, etc.

[0323] Optionally, the first instruction may carry target playback progress information.

[0324] Optionally, the target playback progress information may also be sent to the music application independently of the first instruction, and this application does not limit this.

[0325] 6. In response to the first instruction, the music application plays the first music and adjusts the playing progress to the target.

[0326] After receiving the first instruction sent by the media session module, the music application adjusts the first music to the target playback progress in response to the first instruction.

[0327] In some embodiments, in response to the first instruction, the music application also needs to obtain updated music playback information so that the media playback control center can update the music information of the currently playing music.

[0328] Among them, the updated music playback information may include but is not limited to any one or more of the following: playback status (such as playing status or paused playback status), music name, music picture, singer name, total music duration, music playback progress, audition clip start time, audition clip end time, etc.

[0329] The updated music playing information may be different from the initial music playing information. For example, the music playing progress in the updated music playing information is different from the music playing progress in the initial music playing information.

[0330] In some embodiments, the updated music playing information may also include only the music playing progress, which can reduce the amount of information sent by the music application to the media play control center.

[0331] 7. The music application sends the updated music playback information to the media session module.

[0332] 8. The media session module sends the updated music playback information to the media session service module.

[0333] 9. The media session service module sends the updated music playback information to the media playback control center.

[0334] 10. The media playback control center displays updated music playback information in the control center.

[0335] In response to the first instruction, after the music application obtains the updated music playback information, the music application sends the updated music playback information to the media session module, the media session module then sends the updated music playback information to the media session service module, and the media session service module then sends the updated music playback information to the media playback control center.

[0336] After receiving the updated music playback information sent by the media session service module, the media playback control center may display the updated music playback information in the control center.

[0337] Exemplarily, the media playback control center may display the user interface 7200 shown in FIG. 10B or the user interface 7300 shown in FIG. 10D based on the updated music playback information, that is, the media playback control center displays the target playback progress of the first music in the control center.

[0338] FIG. 12 shows another interactive schematic diagram of a media playback control center displaying updated music playback information in the control center.

[0339] S1201: The media broadcast control center obtains the playback progress of the first music.

[0340] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can adjust the playing progress of the first music through user operation.

[0341] For example, the user operation of adjusting the play progress of the first music may be the user operation of dragging the play progress bar from position 1604 to position 1605 as shown in FIG. 10A .

[0342] Exemplarily, the user operation of adjusting the play progress of the first music may also be the user operation of dragging the play progress bar from position 1604 to position 1607 as shown in FIG. 10C .

[0343] S1202: The media broadcast control center determines that the target playback progress is within the audition segment of the first music.

[0344] Based on the description of the embodiments in Figures 5 and 6, when the electronic device 100 receives a user's request to play the first music in the music application, the music application sends the initial music playback information of the first music to the media playback control center. The media playback control center can obtain an audition clip of the first music from the initial music playback information. The audition clip of the first music includes the start time and the end time of the audition clip of the first music.

[0345] For example, if the first music is paid music and the user of the music application is a member, or if the first music is free music and the user of the music application is a member, or if the first music is free music and the user of the music application is a non-member, and the current user has permission to listen to the full content of the first music, then the start time of the trial listening segment in the music playback information is the same as the start time of the first music, and the end time of the trial listening segment in the music playback information is the same as the stop time of the first music. That is, the trial listening segment of the first music is the full content of the first music.

[0346] If the first song is paid music and the user of the music application is a non-member, the current user does not have permission to listen to the entire first song and can only listen to a portion of the first song. That is, the preview clip of the first song is less than the entire first song. At least one of the start time and the end time of the preview clip differs from the start time and the stop time of the first song.

[0347] Exemplarily, the initial music playback information of the first music may include multiple fields, such as a VIP start station field, a VIP stop station field, a set meta data field, a set play back state field, a set play picture field, a set music name field, a set musician name field, and a set play status field. The media playback control center may obtain the start time of the audition segment of the first music from the VIP start station field and the end time of the audition segment of the first music from the VIP stop station field.

[0348] After the media broadcast control center obtains the audition clip of the first music piece, the media broadcast control center can determine whether the target playback progress is within the audition clip of the first music piece. For example, if the target playback progress is after the start time of the audition clip of the first music piece and before the end time of the audition clip of the first music piece, the media broadcast control center can determine that the target playback progress is within the audition clip of the first music piece.

[0349] S1203: The media broadcast control center sends a first instruction (target playback progress) to the media control module.

[0350] S1204: The media control module sends a first instruction (target playback progress) to the media session module.

[0351] S1205: The media session module sends a first instruction (target playback progress) to the music application.

[0352] In response to the user operation of adjusting the first music to the target playback progress, when the target playback progress is within the audition segment of the first music, or the current user has the authority to listen to the complete content of the first music, the media broadcast control center can send a first instruction to the media control module, the media control module then sends the first instruction to the media session module, and the media session module then sends the first instruction to the music application.

[0353] The first instruction is used to indicate the type of user operation. For example, the type of user operation may include adjusting the first music to the target playback progress, etc.

[0354] Optionally, the first instruction may carry target playback progress information.

[0355] Optionally, the target playback progress information may also be sent to the music application independently of the first instruction, and this application does not limit this.

[0356] S1206: In response to the first instruction, the music application adjusts the first music to the target playback progress.

[0357] After receiving the first instruction sent by the media session module, the music application adjusts the first music to the target playback progress in response to the first instruction.

[0358] S1207: The music application obtains updated music playback information.

[0359] The first instruction to update the music playback information may include but is not limited to any one or more of the following: playback status (such as playing status or paused playback status), music name, music picture, singer name, total music duration, music playback progress, audition clip start time, audition clip end time, etc.

[0360] The updated music playing information may be different from the initial music playing information. For example, the music playing progress in the updated music playing information is different from the music playing progress in the initial music playing information.

[0361] In some embodiments, the updated music playing information may also include only the music playing progress, which can reduce the amount of information sent by the music application to the media play control center.

[0362] S1208: The music application sends the updated music playing information to the media session module.

[0363] S1209: The media session module sends the updated music playing information to the media session service module.

[0364] S1210: The media session service module sends the updated music playback information to the media playback control center.

[0365] In response to the first instruction, after the music application obtains the updated music playback information, the music application sends the updated music playback information to the media session module, the media session module then sends the updated music playback information to the media session service module, and the media session service module then sends the updated music playback information to the media playback control center.

[0366] S1211: The media playback control center displays a third user interface in the control center, where the third user interface includes updated music playback information.

[0367] After receiving the updated music playback information sent by the media session service module, the media playback control center may display a third user interface in the control center, where the third user interface includes the updated music playback information.

[0368] Among them, the second user interface may include the playing status, music name, music picture, singer name, total music duration, and music playing progress.

[0369] For example, the third user interface may be the user interface 7200 shown in FIG. 10B or the user interface 7300 shown in FIG. 10D .

[0370] Optionally, since the playback progress of the first music is continuously updated, S1207-S1211 may be executed continuously / irregularly / periodically so that the media broadcast control center can update the playback progress of the second music.

[0371] In some embodiments, the music application can periodically / irregularly send the updated playback progress of the first music to the media broadcast control center, so that the media broadcast control center can periodically / irregularly update the playback progress of the first music. Before the music application sends the updated playback progress to the media broadcast control center, the music application will determine whether the playback progress sent last time is the end playback time of the first music. When the playback progress sent last time is the end playback time of the first music, the music application automatically switches to playing the second music, and the music application sends the music playback information of the second music to the media broadcast control center, so that the media broadcast control center can display the music playback information of the second music in the control center. When the playback progress sent last time is not the end playback time of the first music, the music application also needs to send the updated playback progress of the first music to the media broadcast control center, wherein the updated playback progress of the first music is later than the playback progress sent last time.

[0372] 13A-13B show another UI diagram of the media broadcast control center responding to the user operation of adjusting the playback progress of the first music when the first music is paid music and the user of the music application is a non-member user.

[0373] In some embodiments, when a user drags the playback progress of a first music track outside the audition segment, in one possible implementation, the electronic device 100 rewinds the playback progress of the first music track to the initial playback progress, which is the playback progress before the user adjusted the playback progress of the first music track. In other possible implementations, the electronic device 100 rewinds the playback progress of the first music track to the start of the audition segment. In other possible implementations, the electronic device 100 automatically switches to playing the second music track, thereby notifying the user that they cannot listen to music content outside the audition segment.

[0374] For example, the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the example that when the user drags the playback progress of the first music out of the audition segment, the electronic device 100 rewinds the playback progress of the first music to the first progress.

[0375] As shown in Figure 13A, the initial playing progress of the first music is located at position 1604 shown in Figure 13A. The user can speed up the playing progress of the first music, and the user can also slow down the playing progress of the first music.

[0376] For example, as shown in FIG. 13A , the electronic device 100 may receive a user operation of dragging the playback progress bar from position 1604 to position 1606 .

[0377] In response to the user's dragging operation, since position 1606 is outside the audition segment, as shown in Figure 13B, the electronic device 100 can display the user interface 1600, that is, the playback progress of the first music is rewound to the initial playback progress to prompt the user that the audio content outside the audition segment cannot be listened to.

[0378] In some embodiments, in response to the user's dragging operation, when the position 1606 is outside the audition clip, the electronic device 100 may also display the prompt information 1608 shown in Figure 13B in the control center. The prompt information 1608 includes the text "You can currently only listen to the audition clip. You can listen to the full content after purchasing a membership. Do you want to purchase a membership?" This prompt information is used to remind the user that the playback progress of the first music cannot be adjusted beyond the audition clip. The prompt information 1608 also includes a purchase membership option and a cancel option. The user can purchase a membership of the music application through the purchase membership option. After purchasing the membership of the music application, the user can listen to the full content of the first music, and the user can also adjust the playback progress of the music application at will. The user can also choose not to purchase a membership of the music application through the cancel option. The user can still only listen to the audition clip of the music application, and the user can only adjust the playback progress of the music application within the audition clip.

[0379] Optionally, in response to the user's dragging operation, when the position 1606 is outside the audition segment, the electronic device 100 may not display the prompt information 1608 shown in FIG. 13B , and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0415] Exemplarily, the first configuration file includes multiple fields, such as at least a set meta data field, a VIP start station field, a VIP stop station field, and a set play back state field (which is a field related to music playback progress). The VIP start station field is a field related to the start time of the audition segment. The VIP stop station field is a field related to the end time of the audition segment. The set meta data field is a field related to the total duration of the music. The set play back state field is a field related to the music playback progress.

[0416] In other embodiments, the first configuration file may further include other fields, such as a "set play picture" field, a "set music name" field, a "set musician name" field, and a "set play status" field. The "set play picture" field relates to a music picture field, the "set music name" field relates to a music name field, the "set musician name" field relates to a singer name field, and the "set play status" field relates to a play status field.

[0417] In this way, after the first application downloads the first configuration file for updating, the first application can obtain the first configuration file and generate music playback information based on multiple fields in the first configuration file.

[0418] In one possible implementation, after the media broadcast control center application displays the first interface on the first display area, the method also includes: the media broadcast control center application receives a second operation of the user dragging the playback progress of the first music from the first moment to the second moment; when the second moment is outside the audition segment of the first music, the media broadcast control center application rewinds the playback progress of the first music to the first moment.

[0419] Exemplarily, the first moment may be the moment corresponding to the position 1604 shown in FIG. 13A .

[0420] The second moment may be the moment corresponding to the position 1606 shown in FIG. 13A .

[0421] Exemplarily, the first music playback information may include multiple fields, such as a VIP start station field, a VIP stop station field, a set meta data field, a set play back state field, etc. The media playback control center application may obtain the start time of the first music audition segment from the VIP start station field and obtain the end time of the first music audition segment from the VIP stop station field.

[0422] After the media broadcast control center application obtains the first music audition clip, the media broadcast control center application can determine whether the second moment is within the first music audition clip. For example, if the second moment is before the start time of the first music audition clip or after the end time of the first music audition clip, the media broadcast control center can determine that the second moment is outside the first music audition clip.

[0423] In response to the second moment being outside the first track's preview, the media broadcast control center application rewinds the first track's playback progress to the first moment. Because the media broadcast control center application retrieves the first track's preview, it can determine whether the second moment is outside the first track's preview and directly handle the process, rewinding to the initial playback time. This eliminates the need for the first application to respond, saving additional interaction between the first application and the media broadcast control center application.

[0424] In one possible implementation, when the second moment is within the audition segment of the first music, the media broadcast control center application sends a first instruction to the first application; in response to the first instruction, the first application continues to play the first music from the second moment; the first application sends the updated playback progress of the first music to the media broadcast control center application, and the updated playback progress includes the second moment.

[0425] For example, the first moment may be the moment corresponding to the position 1604 shown in FIG10A , and the second moment may be the moment corresponding to the position 1605 shown in FIG10A .

[0426] For example, the first moment may be the moment corresponding to the position 1604 shown in FIG10C , and the second moment may be the moment corresponding to the position 1607 shown in FIG10D .

[0427] After the media broadcast control center application obtains the audition clip of the first music piece, the media broadcast control center application can determine whether the second moment is within the audition clip of the first music piece. For example, if the second moment is after the start time of the audition clip of the first music piece and before the end time of the audition clip of the first music piece, the media broadcast control center can determine that the second moment is within the audition clip of the first music piece. Because the playback progress of the first music piece has changed, the first application needs to adjust the playback progress of the first music piece.

[0428] Optionally, the first application is not limited to sending only updated playback progress. It can also send other information to the media broadcast control center, such as the playback status of the first music, the picture of the first music, the name of the first music, the name of the singer of the first music, the total length of the first music, the start time of the audition clip of the first music, the end time of the audition clip of the first music, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0429] In a possible implementation, when the user of the first application is a non-member user and the first music is paid music, the duration of the trial listening segment of the first music is less than the total duration of the first music.

[0430] In one possible implementation, when the user of the first application is a member user and the first music is paid music, or the user of the first application is a member user and the first music is free music, or the user of the first application is a non-member user and the first music is free music, the length of the audition clip of the first music is equal to the total length of the first music.

[0431] In one possible implementation, after the first application sends the first music playback information of the first music to the media broadcast control center application, the method also includes: the first application determines whether the playback progress of the first music in the first music playback information is the end time of the first music; when it is determined that the playback progress of the first music in the first music playback information is the end time of the first music, the first application obtains the music playback information of the second music; the first application sends the music playback information of the second music to the media broadcast control center application; wherein the music playback information of the second music includes: the total duration of the second music, the playback progress of the second music, the start time of the audition segment of the second music, and the end time of the audition segment of the second music; the electronic device displays a second interface including the media broadcast control center application, and the second interface includes the music playback information of the second music.

[0432] The music application can periodically / irregularly send the updated playback progress of the first music to the media broadcast control center, so that the media broadcast control center can periodically / irregularly update the playback progress of the first music. Before the music application sends the updated playback progress to the media broadcast control center, the music application will determine whether the playback progress sent last time (for example, the playback progress of the first music in the first music playback information) is the end playback time of the first music. When the playback progress sent last time is the end playback time of the first music, the music application automatically switches to playing the second music, and the music application sends the music playback information of the second music to the media broadcast control center, so that the media broadcast control center can display the music playback information of the second music in the control center. When the playback progress sent last time is not the end playback time of the first music, the music application also needs to send the updated playback progress of the first music to the media broadcast control center, where the updated playback progress of the first music is later than the playback progress sent last time.

[0433] In one possible implementation, the electronic device also includes a media session module and a media session service module; the first application sends the first music playback information of the first music to the media broadcast control center application, specifically including: the first application sends the first music playback information to the media session module; the media session module sends the first music playback information to the media session service module; the media session service module sends the first music playback information to the media broadcast control center application.

[0434] In one possible implementation, the electronic device also includes a media session module and a media control module; the media broadcast control center application sends a first instruction to the first application, specifically including: the media broadcast control center application sends the first instruction to the media control module; the media control module sends the first instruction to the first application.
