[0016] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it is understood that the present disclosure can be embodied in various forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein, but rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure can be more thoroughly and completely understood. It will be understood that the drawings of the present disclosure and the embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0017] In the description of embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "includes" and its derivatives, such as "including," should be understood in an open, inclusive sense, that is, "including, but not limited to." The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on." The term "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment." The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments." Other explicit or implicit definitions can also be included below.

[0018] In this document, unless explicitly stated otherwise, performing a step "in response to" an event means performing the step in response to a determination that the event has occurred, which can include one or more intermediate steps.

[0019] It can be understood that the data involved in the technical solutions of the present disclosure (including but not limited to the data itself, the obtaining or use of the data) should comply with the requirements of the relevant laws and regulations and the relevant provisions.

[0020] It can be understood that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the type of personal information involved in the present disclosure, the scope of use, the use scenario, etc. should be informed to the user and the authorization of the user should be obtained through appropriate means according to the relevant laws and regulations.

[0021] For example, in response to receiving an active request of a user, prompt information is sent to the user to explicitly prompt the user that the operation requested to be performed by the user will require obtaining and using personal information of the user, so that the user can autonomously select whether to provide personal information to software or hardware such as an electronic device, an application program, a server or a storage medium performing the operation of the technical solution of the present disclosure according to the prompt information.

[0022] As an optional but non-limiting implementation manner, in response to receiving an active request of a user, the manner of sending prompt information to the user may, for example, be a pop-up window manner, and the prompt information may be presented in a text manner in the pop-up window. In addition, the pop-up window may also carry selection controls for the user to select “agree” or “disagree” to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0023] It can be understood that the above notification and obtaining of user authorization process is only illustrative and does not limit the implementation manner of the present disclosure, and other manners meeting relevant laws and regulations can also be applied to the implementation manner of the present disclosure.

[0024] As briefly described above, to meet the needs of users for matching a certain segment in a video with at least one segment in another video, a video matching task arises at the historic moment. For example, if one video is created based on another video, or two videos are generated based on the same content source or the same scene, there may be partially matching video segments in them. In performing video matching, whether there are identical or similar content segments in multiple videos can be determined through analysis of video content. The video matching result needs to be shown to the user in a visual manner.

[0025] There may be multiple mutually matching video segments in multiple videos, and these segments may appear at any position in each video and have different lengths. How to show the user accurate and convenient matching relationship indication is a problem. Simple labeling may not enable the user to intuitively see which video content is matched with each other. If the matched segment in the video has a very small proportion on the progress bar, the user may have difficulty in quickly hitting the segment for viewing.

[0026] In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure provide an improved method for video matching. In this approach, a first play interface of a first video and a second play interface of a second video are presented. Then, according to a content matching result between the first video and the second video, a first matching indication information is presented in a region associated with the first play interface and a second matching indication information is presented in a region associated with the second play interface. The first matching indication information includes a visual style indication corresponding to each of at least one first segment in the first video, and the second matching indication information includes a visual style indication corresponding to each of at least one second segment in the second video. Correspondingly, the visual style indications of the first segment of the first video and the second segment of the second video indicated as matching each other by the content matching result are the same, and the visual style indications of the first segment of the first video and the second segment of the second video indicated as not matching each other by the content matching result are different.

[0027] In this way, the user can more conveniently and intuitively view which segments in different videos match each other. In addition, in some embodiments, the matching indication information can also be used to determine the position of these segments in the video or material and the proportion of the total duration, and the matching segments in different videos can also be played synchronously based on user selection to facilitate checking whether the matching result is reasonable. Further, if there are video segments processed by speed change in the video, synchronous playing can also be implemented to achieve the purpose of frame-by-frame comparison.

[0028] FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. The environment 100 includes a video matching platform 110, a user 140, and a video group 130 to be matched. The video group 130 can be uploaded or specified by the user 140 for video matching. The video group 130 can include multiple videos. In FIG. 1, two videos, video A and video B, are taken as examples for illustration. In some embodiments, the video group 130 uploaded by the user 140 can also include video A, video B, and other videos, etc., which are not limited by the present disclosure.

[0029] In the environment 100 of FIG. 1, the video matching platform 110 performs a video matching task based on the multiple videos uploaded or specified by the user 140, and presents an interface / page 150 based on the content matching result. This interface / page 150 can include any appropriate page that can be provided to indicate the content matching result of the multiple videos to the user. The interface / page 150 is also sometimes referred to herein as a "matching result presentation page".

[0030] The video matching platform 110 can be run on a suitable electronic device. The electronic device here can be any type of device with computing capability, including terminal devices and / or server devices. The terminal device can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal including a mobile handset, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio broadcast receiver, an electronic book device, a game device, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of such devices or any combination thereof. The server device can include, for example, a computing system / server, such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, etc. In some embodiments, the video matching platform 110 can be implemented based on cloud services.

[0031] It should be understood that the structures and functions of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only, without implying any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0032] Various example implementations of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0033] Example embodiments of image processing are described below with reference to the example interfaces / example pages shown in FIGS. 2A-2B.

[0034] For better understanding of various embodiments of the present disclosure, reference is made to the example user interfaces 200A-200B shown in FIGS. 2A-2B in the example embodiments below. FIGS. 2A-2B show schematic diagrams of example user interfaces 200A-200B for video matching, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the user interfaces shown in FIGS. 2A-2B and other figures below are merely examples, and various designs can actually exist. For example, various graphical elements and / or controls in the user interfaces can have different arrangements and different visual representations, one or more elements and / or controls among them can be omitted or replaced, and one or more other elements and / or controls can also exist. In addition, any suitable content can be included in the user interfaces. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0035] In example embodiments of the present disclosure, example user interfaces 200A-B can be presented at the video matching platform 110. For ease of discussion, some implementations of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the environment 100 of FIG. 1 and the example user interfaces 200A-B. While these embodiments are described as being implemented at the video matching platform 110 of FIG. 1, in particular at the application client of the video matching platform 110, in other embodiments, the video matching platform 110 can perform these operations with the assistance of a server device.

[0036] In the example of FIG. 2A, assume that the video group for which content matching is performed includes a first video and a second video. In the matching result presentation page, the video matching platform 110 presents a first playback interface of the first video and a second playback interface of the second video in the result showcase area. As shown in the example user interface 200A of FIG. 2A, the video matching platform 110 presents a first playback interface 201 of the first video and a second playback interface 202 of the second video in the result showcase area.

[0037] In some examples, the playback interface includes at least a video frame and a progress bar. As shown in the example user interface 200A of FIG. 2A, the first playback interface 201 includes at least a video frame 211 and a progress bar 212. The second playback interface 202 includes at least a video frame 221 and a progress bar 222.

[0038] In some embodiments, the video matching platform 110 presents first matching indication information in a region associated with the first playback interface of the first video based on the content matching result between the first video and the second video. Correspondingly, the video matching platform 110 also presents second matching indication information in a region associated with the second playback interface of the second video.

[0039] In some examples, the video matching platform 110 can match the first video with the second video and determine a content matching result between the first video and the second video. The content matching result can indicate a matching relationship between one or more segments in the first video and one or more segments in the second video. For example, one segment in the first video can match to one or more segments in the second video. A pair of segments in the two videos match each other if the content in the pair of segments is of a high similarity or reaches a certain threshold. The video matching platform 110 can utilize any suitable video matching technique and can determine whether a pair of segments in a video match each other according to any content matching criteria. Embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited as to how the video matching platform determines the content matching result.

[0040] The video matching platform 110 presents the first matching indication information and the second matching indication information in the respective associated areas of the first playback interface and the second playback interface according to the content matching result between the first video and the second video.

[0041] The area in the first playback interface and / or the second playback interface for presenting the matching indication information can include a progress bar within the respective playback interface, and / or a matching display area independent of the playback interface. As shown in the example user interface 200A of FIG. 2A, the associated area of the first playback interface includes a progress bar 212, and / or a matching display area 213 below. The associated area of the second playback interface includes a progress bar 222, and / or a matching display area 223 below the playback interface. The video matching platform 110 presents the first matching indication information and / or the second matching indication information in the respective associated progress bar and / or matching display area of the first playback interface and / or the second playback interface will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 2A-2B.

[0042] The first matching indication information and / or the second matching indication information includes a color element on the progress bar, and / or a matching segment display below. As shown in the example user interface 200A of FIG. 2A, the first matching indication information includes a color element on the progress bar 212, and / or a matching segment display below. The second matching indication information includes a color element on the progress bar 222, and / or a matching segment display below.

[0043] In some examples, the first matching indication information and / or the second matching indication information can include a progress bar. The first matching indication information and / or the second matching indication information can include a progress bar and a matching segment display area below. The present disclosure does not limit this.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first matching indication information includes a respective visual style indication of at least one first segment in the first video. The second matching indication information includes a respective visual style indication of at least one second segment in the second video.

[0045] Correspondingly, the visual style indications of the first segment of the first video and the second segment of the second video indicated as matching each other by the content matching result are the same, and the visual style indications of the first segment of the first video and the second segment of the second video indicated as not matching each other by the content matching result are different.

[0046] In some embodiments, the selectable visual style indications include, but are not limited to, color-based visual style indications, fill pattern-based visual style indications, graphical-based visual style indications, and any other visual styles that can be visually distinguished from each other. For example, mutually matching segments can be indicated with the same color, mutually non-matching segments can be indicated with non-identical colors, and so on. In the example of FIGS. 2A and 2B, different fill patterns are used as examples of different visual style indications. Of course, color-based visual style indications and fill pattern-based visual style indications can also be considered non-identical to each other. Embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to specific visual styles. Selection and configuration can be made as needed in actual applications.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 2A, the video matching platform 110 can match the first video 211 with the second video 221 to obtain that there are four segments of matching content between the first video 211 and the second video 221 (e.g., segment 1 of the first video 211 matches segment 3 of the second video 221, segment 2 of the first video 211 matches segment 2 of the second video 221, segment 3 of the first video 211 matches segment 1 of the second video 221, and segment 4 of the first video 211 matches segment 4 of the second video 221). Based on the matching result of the first video 211 and the second video 221, the video matching platform 110 presents information of four different visual style indications (e.g., four different fill pattern visual style indications 212-1, 212-2, 212-3, 212-4) in the area associated with the first playback interface 201 (e.g., the area corresponding to the progress bar 212).

[0048] Accordingly, the video matching platform 110 also presents information of four different visual style indications (e.g., four different fill pattern visual style indications 222-1, 222-2, 222-3, 222-4) in the area associated with the second playback interface 202 (e.g., the area corresponding to the progress bar 222). In some examples, the video matching platform 110 uses the same visual style indication for the first segment of the first video 211 and the second segment of the second video 221.

[0049] For example, if the first segment of the first video 211 and the second segment of the second video 221 are matching video content, the video matching platform 110 uses the same visual style indication 212-1 for the first segment in the area corresponding to the progress bar 212 and the visual style indication 222-3 for the second segment in the area corresponding to the progress bar 222.

[0050] If the first segment of the first video 211 and the second segment of the second video 221 are mismatched video contents, the video matching platform 110 indicates the visual style of the first segment 212-1 and the visual style of the second segment 222-1 are different in the corresponding regions of the progress bars 212 and 222.

[0051] The following will continue to refer to FIGS. 2A-2B to describe the video matching platform 110 presenting the first matching indication information and / or the second matching indication information in the progress bars associated with the first playback interface and / or the second playback interface, and / or the matching display region below.

[0052] The following will first refer to FIG. 2A to describe the video matching platform 110 presenting the first matching indication information and / or the second matching indication information in the progress bars associated with the first playback interface and / or the second playback interface.

[0053] In some embodiments, the video matching platform 110 presents the first matching indication information on or in the adjacent region of the first progress bar of the first playback interface. The video matching platform 110 presents the first matching indication information (e.g., color elements, filling patterns, etc.) on or in the additional region adjacent to the first progress bar 212 of the first playback interface 201.

[0054] In some embodiments, the video matching platform 110 presents the second matching indication information on or in the adjacent region of the second progress bar of the second playback interface. The video matching platform 110 presents the second matching indication information (e.g., color elements, filling patterns, etc.) on or in the additional region adjacent to the second progress bar 222 of the second playback interface 202.

[0055] In some embodiments, the extension length of the visual style indication of each of the at least one first segment on or in the adjacent region of the first progress bar is the same as the length of the corresponding first segment.

[0056] In some examples, the extension length of the visual style indication of each of the at least one first segment on or in the adjacent region of the first progress bar 212 is the same as the length of the corresponding first segment. For example, the length of the visual style indication 212-1 of the first segment on the first progress bar 212 is the same as the time length of the video segment corresponding to the first segment. The length of the visual style indication 212-2 of the first segment on the first progress bar 212 is the same as the time length of the video segment corresponding to the first segment.

[0057] In some embodiments, the extension length of the visual style indication corresponding to each of the at least one second segment in the second progress bar or in the adjacent area of the second progress bar is the same as the length of the corresponding second segment.

[0058] In some examples, the extension length of the visual style indication corresponding to each of the at least one second segment in the second progress bar 222 or in the adjacent area of the second progress bar 222 is the same as the length of the corresponding second segment. For example, the length of the visual style indication 222-3 of the second segment in the second progress bar 222 is the same as the length of the corresponding video segment. The length of the visual style indication 222-1 of the second segment in the second progress bar 222 is the same as the length of the corresponding video segment.

[0059] The following continues to refer to FIGS. 2A-2B to describe the video matching platform 110 presenting the first matching indication information and / or the second matching indication information in the area associated with the first playback interface and / or the second playback interface, respectively (e.g., the matching display area below the first playback interface and / or the second playback interface).

[0060] In some embodiments, the video matching platform 110 presents the first matching indication information in the first area outside the first playback interface. In some examples, the video matching platform 110 presents the first matching indication information in the matching display area 213 below the first playback interface 201.

[0061] In some embodiments, the video matching platform 110 presents the second matching indication information in the second area outside the second playback interface. In some examples, the video matching platform 110 presents the second matching indication information in the matching display area 223 below the second playback interface 202.

[0062] In some embodiments, the size of the visual style indication corresponding to each of the at least one first segment in the first area is not proportional to the length of the corresponding first segment. Correspondingly, the size of the visual style indication corresponding to each of the at least one second segment in the second area is not proportional to the length of the corresponding second segment.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 2A, in the first area (e.g., the matching display area 213 below the first playback interface 201), the size of the visual style indication 213-2 corresponding to the first segment is not proportional to the length of the corresponding first segment. In the first area, the size of the visual style indication 213-3 corresponding to the first segment is not proportional to the length of the corresponding first segment.

[0064] In the second region (e.g., the match presentation region 223 below the second playback interface 202), the size of the visual style indication 223-1 corresponding to the second segment is not proportional to the length of the second segment it corresponds to. In the second region, the size of the visual style indication 223-4 corresponding to the second segment is also not proportional to the length of the second segment it corresponds to.

[0065] In some embodiments, when presenting the match indication information in the underlying match presentation region, the size of the presented visual style indication is not strongly correlated to the length of the matching segment. In this way, even if a segment is relatively short, the visual style indication corresponding to the segment can still have a certain size, which can facilitate user selection for viewing.

[0066] In some embodiments, the size of the visual style indications corresponding to the plurality of first segments can be the same, and the size of the visual style indications corresponding to the plurality of second segments can also be the same, regardless of the lengths of the segments. In some embodiments, among the plurality of first segments, the size of the visual style indication corresponding to a relatively long first segment can be greater (e.g., longer) than the size of the visual style indication corresponding to a relatively short first segment. For the plurality of second segments, the size of the visual style indications can also be set according to similar rules.

[0067] In some embodiments, in the first region, the size of the visual style indication corresponding to each of the at least one first segment is equal to or exceeds a lower limit size. Accordingly, in the second region, the size of the visual style indication corresponding to each of the at least one second segment is equal to or exceeds the lower limit size.

[0068] In some examples, by setting the lower limit size, the size of the box in the underlying match presentation region is always greater than or equal to the lower limit size, regardless of the length of the segment for which match indication is provided. This can also facilitate user selection and viewing.

[0069] In some embodiments, the video matching platform 110, in response to detecting selection of the first visual style indication corresponding to the target first segment in the first region, expands the first visual style indication in the first region. Accordingly, the video matching platform 110, in response to detecting selection of the second visual style indication corresponding to the target second segment in the second region, expands the second visual style indication in the second region.

[0070] In some examples, if the video matching platform 110 detects that the user 140 selects the first visual style indication 213-1 corresponding to the target first segment in the matching display region 213, the first visual style indication 213-1 is expanded in the matching display region 213. If the video matching platform 110 detects that the user 140 selects the second visual style indication 223-3 corresponding to the target second segment in the matching display region 223, the second visual style indication 223-3 is expanded in the matching display region 223.

[0071] In some embodiments, in response to the first visual style indication being expanded, the video matching platform 110 presents the time range occupied by the target first segment in the first video in association with the expanded first visual style indication. Similarly, in response to the second visual style indication being expanded, the video matching platform 110 presents the time range occupied by the target second segment in the second video in association with the expanded second visual style indication.

[0072] For example, in FIG. 2A, if the visual style indication 213-1 of segment 1 in the first video is expanded, the video matching platform 110 presents the time range occupied by the segment in the first video, e.g., the segment length is 7S and the time range is 00:00-00:07, on the expanded visual style indication 213-1.

[0073] If the visual style indication 223-3 of segment 3 in the second video is expanded, the video matching platform 110 presents the time range occupied by the segment 3 in the second video, e.g., the segment length is 28S and the time range is 31:12-31:40, in association with the expanded visual style indication 223-3.

[0074] For ease of understanding, the following description will refer to the video matching platform 110 expanding the first visual style indication and / or the second visual style indication in the first region and / or the second region in response to detecting the selection of the first visual style indication and / or the second visual style indication corresponding to the target first segment and / or the target second segment in the first region and / or the second region. For ease of understanding, the first region and / or the second region will be collectively referred to as the matching display region, the target first segment and / or the target second segment will be collectively referred to as the target segment, and the first visual style indication and / or the second visual style indication will be collectively referred to as the visual style indication. However, this is merely exemplary and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0075] As shown in the example interface 200B of FIG. 2B, if the video matching platform 110 detects that the user 140 selects the visual style indicator 231-1 corresponding to the target segment in the match showcase area 231, the video matching platform 110 expands the visual style indicator 231-1 corresponding to the target segment in the match showcase area 231. The match showcase area 232 shown in FIG. 2B is the expanded version of the visual style indicator 231-1 corresponding to the target segment.

[0076] If the visual style indicator 231-1 corresponding to the target segment is expanded, the video matching platform 110 presents the time range of the target segment in the video to which the target segment 231-1 belongs in association with the expanded visual style indicator. For example, the target segment 1 occupies 7 seconds in the video to which it belongs, and the time range is: 00:00-00:07.

[0077] The video matching platform 110 presents the first match indication information and / or the second match indication information in the progress bar associated with the first playback interface and / or the second playback interface, and / or the match showcase area below, as described above.

[0078] The following will continue to describe that the user selects the visual style indicator corresponding to a segment, and the video matching platform 110 presents a secondary progress bar corresponding to the segment so that the user can view each frame corresponding to the segment.

[0079] In some embodiments, the video matching platform 110 presents a secondary progress bar corresponding to the target first segment in an area outside the first progress bar of the first playback interface in response to detecting the selection of the first visual style indicator corresponding to the target first segment in the first match indication information. The secondary progress bar is longer than the target first segment. In some examples, the user 140 can view each frame corresponding to the target first segment based on the secondary progress bar.

[0080] If the user 140 selects the visual style indicator 212-1 corresponding to the target first segment in the first progress bar 212 corresponding to the target first segment in the first match indication information, the video matching platform 110 presents a secondary progress bar corresponding to the target first segment in an area outside the first progress bar 212.

[0081] Additionally, if the user 140 selects the visual style indicator 213-1 corresponding to the target first segment in the match showcase area 213 corresponding to the target first segment in the first match indication information, the video matching platform 110 can jump to the position of the visual style indicator 212-1 corresponding to the target first segment in the first progress bar 212, and present a secondary progress bar corresponding to the target first segment in an area outside the first progress bar 212.

[0082] Accordingly, in response to detecting the selection of the second visual style indication corresponding to the target second segment in the second matching indication information, the video matching platform 110 presents a secondary progress bar corresponding to the target second segment in a region outside the second progress bar of the second playback interface. The secondary progress bar is longer than the length of the target second segment. In some examples, the user 140 can view each frame corresponding to the target second segment based on the secondary progress bar.

[0083] If the user 140 selects the visual style indication 222-3 corresponding to the target second segment in the second progress bar 222 corresponding to the target second segment in the second matching indication information, the video matching platform 110 presents a secondary progress bar 224 corresponding to the target second segment in a region outside the second progress bar 222.

[0084] Additionally, if the user 140 selects the visual style indication 223-3 corresponding to the target second segment in the matching display region 223 corresponding to the target second segment in the second matching indication information, the video matching platform 110 can jump to the position of the visual style indication 222-3 corresponding to the target second segment in the second progress bar 222 and present a secondary progress bar 224 corresponding to the target second segment in a region outside the second progress bar 222 so that the user 140 can view the second segment frame by frame.

[0085] In some embodiments, regardless of whether the user selects the visual style indication corresponding to a certain segment in the first video or the second video on the progress bar, a secondary progress bar corresponding to the selected segment can be presented. Since the secondary progress bar is longer, it can be convenient for the user to select a position of the segment in the secondary progress bar for viewing.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first matching indication information presented by the video matching platform 110 in the region associated with the first playback interface includes a length indication of each of the at least one first segment presented in association with the first matching indication information.

[0087] As shown in the example user interface 200A of FIG. 2A, if a first segment (e.g., segment 1) of the first video matches a second segment (e.g., segment 3) of the second video, the video matching platform 110 presents a length indication (e.g., 7S) of the first segment on the first visual style indication 213-1 corresponding to the first segment in the region (e.g., matching display region 213) associated with the first playback interface 201 of the first video.

[0088] In some embodiments, the second matching indication information presented by the video matching platform 110 in the region associated with the second playback interface includes a length indication of each of the at least one second segment presented in association with the second matching indication information.

[0089] As shown in the example user interface 200A of FIG. 2A, if the first segment (e.g., segment 1) of the first video matches the second segment (e.g., segment 3) of the second video, the video matching platform 110 presents a length indication (e.g., 28S) of the second segment on a second visual style indication 223-3 corresponding to the second segment in a region (e.g., matching showcase region 223) associated with the second playback interface 202 of the second video.

[0090] In some embodiments, although only the presentation of the length indication of each segment at the matching indication information in the matching showcase region is shown in the figures, additionally or alternatively, the length indication of each segment can also be presented at the matching indication information in or near the progress bar of each of the first video and the second video. Embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0091] In the foregoing, various embodiments of presenting matching indication information of matching segments in videos are described in connection with the matching between two videos. It should be understood that embodiments of the present disclosure can also be similarly applied to scenarios where three or more videos need to be matched. In such scenarios, based on the content matching result of the three or more videos, matching indication information discussed in embodiments of the present disclosure can be used to indicate the matching video segments in the three or more videos to let users quickly understand and determine which segments in the videos are matching each other, obtain more information related to the matching segments. In addition, it is also possible to support users to conveniently and quickly view each segment in each video.

[0092] In summary, by using matching indication information (e.g., color elements or any other visual indication), it is possible to more explicitly correspond the matching segments in the first video and the second video on the progress bar and / or other associated regions. By the matching showcase region, it is more convenient for users to select and view the matching segments. Further, in some scenarios (e.g., when the length of a segment occupies on the progress bar is particularly short), by providing a secondary progress bar, it is more convenient for users to perform fine selection operations.
