[0045] The execution subject of the video display method provided in this disclosure can be the aforementioned electronic device (including mobile electronic devices and non-mobile electronic devices), or it can be a functional module and / or functional entity in the electronic device that can implement the video display method. The specific implementation subject can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0046] The video display method provided by the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1, this disclosure provides a video display method, which may include the following steps 101 to 104.

[0048] 101. Display the first video and at least one channel control in the first video stream.

[0049] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a first video from a first video stream and at least one channel control are displayed on a video playback page.

[0050] For example, the first video stream includes a sequence of videos to be displayed. At least one channel control may include a channel control at the bottom of the video playback page, a channel control at the top of the video playback page, or a channel control on the side of the video playback page; this is not limited to these options.

[0051] In some embodiments of this disclosure, at least one channel control may include a homepage channel control, and may also include channel controls for different content categories or themes, such as "Recommended" channel controls, "Following" channel controls, "Hot" channel controls, "Featured" channel controls, and special channel controls for documentaries, music, movies, etc.

[0052] In some embodiments of this disclosure, at least one channel control can be any of the channel controls currently displayed on the video playback page, or it can be a channel control located in a preset display area among all the channel controls currently displayed on the video playback page. For example, the preset display area is a preset display area that is prone to accidental touches.

[0053] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a first triggering operation on the first video can be used to trigger the update of the first video to a third video in the first video stream. For example, the first triggering operation can be an up-swipe or down-swipe operation in the area where the first video is located, etc., and is not limited here.

[0054] 102. In response to a trigger operation on the target channel control in the at least one channel control, acquire the second video stream.

[0055] 103. Display the second video in the second video stream and the return control.

[0056] For example, the second video stream is different from the first video stream. The second video stream is a video sequence to be displayed that is different from the first video stream, obtained in response to the trigger operation of the target channel control, refreshing the channel content.

[0057] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a second triggering operation on the second video can be used to trigger the update of the second video to a fourth video in the second video stream. For example, the second triggering operation can be an up-swipe or down-swipe operation in the area where the second video is located, etc., and is not limited here.

[0058] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a second video from a second video stream and a return control are displayed on a video playback page, while at least one channel control is also displayed on the video playback page.

[0059] 104. In response to the triggering operation on the return control, display the first video.

[0060] For example, the return control is the entry point to return to and display the first video.

[0061] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a triggering operation on the return control, the first video can be re-displayed on the video playback page, which also displays at least one channel control.

[0062] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the first video is a live stream preview video, in response to the triggering operation of the return control, the user can enter the live stream page corresponding to the first video and display the first video on the live stream page.

[0063] In this embodiment of the disclosure, in response to a trigger operation on the return control, a return to display the first video is triggered. Thus, if a user accidentally triggers the target channel control, causing the channel content to update, the user can trigger the re-display of the first video by triggering the return control. Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, by providing a return control for returning to previously viewed videos while simultaneously triggering channel content updates in response to a trigger operation on the channel control, an entry control for retrieving previously viewed videos is provided. This allows users to quickly retrieve previously viewed videos by triggering the return control, especially after a user accidentally refreshes the channel content due to a touch of the channel control, thereby improving the user experience.

[0064] In some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG2, a first video from a first video stream and at least one channel control are displayed on the video playback page. In response to a triggering operation on the "Home" channel control, as shown in FIG3, a second video from a second video stream and a return control are displayed on the video playback page.

[0065] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the return control may also include a prompt message, which prompts the user to trigger a return to display the previously viewed video by triggering the return control.

[0066] For example, the prompt message can be the identifier of the first video, such as the name of the first video, the cover of the first video, etc.; the prompt message can also be a prompt such as "Find the previous video" or "Return to the previously watched video"; the specifics can be determined according to the actual situation, and are not limited here.

[0067] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 102 above can be based on obtaining the second video stream from a local cache or from a server; no limitation is made here.

[0068] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 102 described above can be specifically implemented through step 102a as follows.

[0069] 102a. In response to a trigger operation on a target channel control in the at least one channel control, a refresh request is sent, and a second video stream is obtained based on the refresh request.

[0070] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a trigger operation on a target channel control, a refresh request is sent to the server to obtain the refreshed second video stream from the server. Exemplarily, the client sends a refresh request to the server, inquiring whether there is new content available for display. The refresh request may include parameters such as the timestamp of the last refresh, so that the server can accurately return the latest content that meets the user's needs. After receiving the refresh request, the server performs data querying and processing based on the request parameters. If there is new content, the server packages this content into a specific data format (such as JSON format) and returns it to the client. If there is no new content, the server may return an empty result or a status code indicating that there is no new content. After receiving the server's response, the client parses and processes the data. If it is new content, it is integrated into the display list of the video playback page, ready for display. If there is no new content, a prompt message may be displayed to the user, informing them that there is currently no new content to watch.

[0071] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after step 101 described above, the video display method provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may further include step 105 as described below.

[0072] 105. In response to a trigger operation on a target channel control in the at least one channel control, display a refresh message indicating that the video stream is in a refresh state.

[0073] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the refresh prompt message can be in the form of text or in the form of animation, and no limitation is made here.

[0074] In this embodiment of the disclosure, displaying refresh prompts can effectively remind users that the current video stream is in a refresh state, thereby improving the user experience.

[0075] For example, before displaying the second video in the second video stream, in response to the triggering operation of the target channel control, a channel content refresh animation (i.e., refresh prompt information) is displayed. The specific details can be determined according to the actual situation and are not limited here.

[0076] For example, the icon of the target channel control can be switched to a refresh icon with an animated effect. For example, the refresh icon can be a looping arrow or a rotating icon, and can also be displayed in combination with text such as "Refresh" or "Update," etc., without limitation here.

[0077] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a triggering operation on the "Home" channel control, before displaying the second video in the second video stream and the return control on the video playback page, as shown in FIG4, the "Home" channel control is updated to a rotating icon.

[0078] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the at least one channel control is used to indicate at least one channel, which includes a plurality of first-type channels and a plurality of second-type channels.

[0079] For example, at least one channel control corresponds to at least one channel, multiple first-type channels can be channels with different content categories or themes, and multiple second-type channels can be channels with different content categories or themes.

[0080] In some embodiments of this disclosure, multiple first-type channels are, for example, bottom navigation, and the corresponding channel controls are located in the first display area of ​​the video playback page (e.g., the first display area is the bottom navigation area), and multiple second-type channels are, for example, top navigation, and the corresponding channel controls are located in the second display area of ​​the video playback page (e.g., the second display area is the top navigation area).

[0081] In some embodiments of this disclosure, multiple first-type channels correspond to multiple first-channel controls (one-to-one correspondence between multiple first-type channels and multiple first-channel controls), and multiple second-type channels correspond to multiple second channels (one-to-one correspondence between multiple second-type channels and multiple second-channel controls). The multiple first-channel controls include a target first-channel control, which can be a first-level channel control corresponding to a first-level channel; the multiple second-channel controls are second-level channel controls corresponding to the first-level channel controls, with each second-level channel control corresponding to a second-level channel. When the target first-channel control is selected on the current video playback page, and the target second-channel control among the multiple second-channel controls is also selected, the video stream displayed on the current video playback page corresponds to the channel indicated by the target first-channel control and the channel indicated by the target second-channel control.

[0082] For example, the target first channel control is the homepage channel, and the multiple second channel controls may include "Recommended" channel controls, "Following" channel controls, "Popular" channel controls, "Featured" channel controls, and special channel controls such as documentaries, music, and movies. The target second channel control can be any one of the multiple second channel controls. For example, if the target second channel control is a "Recommended" channel control (indicating a recommended channel), then the video stream displayed on the current video playback page corresponds to both the homepage channel and the recommended channel.

[0083] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first video stream and the second video stream correspond to the same first type channel and the same second type channel.

[0084] For example, the first video stream corresponds to the first channel among the plurality of first type channels and the second channel among the plurality of second type channels, the target channel control indicating the first channel or the second channel, and the second video stream corresponding to the first channel and the second channel.

[0085] For example, the first channel is the homepage channel, and the second channel is any one of the following channels: recommended channel, followed channel, popular channel, featured channel, and special channels such as documentaries, music, and movies.

[0086] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by triggering the first channel or the second channel, the first video stream can be refreshed to the second video stream, thus providing a variety of ways to achieve refresh efficiency for the corresponding first and second channel video streams.

[0087] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first video stream and the second video stream correspond to the same first type channel and different second type channels.

[0088] For example, the first video stream corresponds to the first channel in the plurality of first type channels and the second channel in the plurality of second type channels, the target channel control indicates the third channel in the plurality of second type channels, and the second video stream corresponds to the first channel and the third channel.

[0089] For example, the first channel is the homepage channel, the second channel is the recommended channel, and the third channel is the follow channel.

[0090] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first video stream and the second video stream correspond to different first-type channels. Some of the first-type channels may be the same as some of the second-type channels, such as the first-type channels including recommendation channels, short drama channels, etc., and the second-type channels also including recommendation channels and short drama channels, etc. However, the video stream corresponding to the recommendation channel in the multiple first-type channels is different from the video stream corresponding to the recommendation channel in the multiple second-type channels (which also correspond to the target first-type channel in the multiple first-type channels).

[0091] For example, the first video stream corresponds to the first channel in the plurality of first type channels and the second channel in the plurality of second type channels, and the target channel control indicates the fourth channel in the plurality of first type channels, and the second video stream corresponds to the fourth channel.

[0092] For example, the first channel is the homepage channel, the second channel is the recommended channel, and the fourth channel is the short drama channel located in the first display area.

[0093] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after step 103 described above, the video display method provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may further include step 106 as described below.

[0094] 106. In response to a triggering operation on the return control, display the content associated with the first control on the first video.

[0095] For example, the display area where the first control is located is adjacent to the display area where the target channel control is located, and the first control is an extended control associated with the first video.

[0096] For example, the content associated with the first control can be related information about the first video (such as introduction information, comment information, episode information, etc.) or related videos that match the first video (video clips of similar or related types), without limitation here.

[0097] In this embodiment, since the user retrieves the first video through the back control, it indicates that the first video is the video the user needs. Therefore, triggering a refresh of the channel content via the target channel control is a user error. Thus, by displaying the first video simultaneously with the first video via the back control, and simultaneously displaying the content associated with the first control on the first video, the user can quickly return to the first video and display the content associated with the first control after accidentally refreshing the channel content by triggering the back control. This improves the user experience by displaying the content associated with the first control without requiring user interaction with it.

[0098] In some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG2, a first control associated with the first video is also displayed on the video playback page, and the display area of ​​the first control is adjacent to the display area of ​​the "Home" channel control. As shown in FIG5, in response to the triggering operation of the return control, the first video is displayed on the video playback page, and the content associated with the first control is displayed on the first video.

[0099] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after step 101 above, the video display method provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may further include step 107 below, and step 104 above may be implemented by step 104a below.

[0100] 107. In response to a trigger operation on the target channel control, cache the first video stream.

[0101] 104a. In response to the trigger operation on the return control, retrieve the cached first video stream and display the first video in the first video stream.

[0102] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a triggering operation on the return control, a cached first video stream is obtained, and a first video from the first video stream is displayed on a video playback page. The video playback page also displays at least one channel control.

[0103] In this embodiment of the disclosure, since the user chooses to return to display the first video through the return control, the first video and the first video stream are video content that meets the user's needs. Therefore, in response to the trigger operation of the target channel control, the first video stream is cached, so in response to the trigger operation of the return control, the first video stream can be quickly obtained and the first video in the first video stream can be displayed. The user can also trigger the viewing of videos other than the first video in the first video stream through the trigger operation.

[0104] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 104 can be specifically implemented through steps 104b and 104c.

[0105] 104b. In response to a trigger operation on the return control, obtain a third video stream that matches the first video.

[0106] 104c. Display the first video in the third video stream.

[0107] For example, the third video stream is a video stream that is different from both the first and second video streams.

[0108] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a first video from a third video stream is displayed on a video playback page, and at least one channel control is also displayed on the video playback page.

[0109] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a third triggering operation on the first video can be used to trigger the update of the first video to a fifth video in the third video stream. For example, the third triggering operation can be an up-swipe or down-swipe operation in the area where the first video is located, etc., and is not limited here.

[0110] In this embodiment of the disclosure, since the user returns to the first video via the return control, it indicates that the first video is the video the user needs. Therefore, the third video stream that matches the first video is also the video the user needs. In this way, the user can easily trigger the viewing of other videos in the third video stream that match the first video by triggering the operation, without the user having to search for videos that match the first video by performing an operation, which can improve the user experience.

[0111] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 104 can be specifically implemented by steps 104d to 104f.

[0112] 104d. In response to the trigger operation on the returned control, obtain the first video.

[0113] 104e. Insert the first video into the second video stream at a position adjacent to the second video.

[0114] For example, the first video can be inserted before the position of the second video in the second video stream, or it can be inserted after the position of the second video in the second video stream; there is no limitation here.

[0115] 104f: Display the first video in the second video stream.

[0116] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first video in the second video stream is displayed on the video playback page, and at least one channel control is also displayed on the video playback page.

[0117] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by inserting the first video into the second video stream, the first video can be quickly re-displayed to the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0118] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 104d can be implemented by step 104d1, and step 104e can be implemented by step 104e1.

[0119] 104d1. In response to a trigger operation on the return control, a preset number of videos are obtained, including the first video and the videos displayed before the first video.

[0120] For example, the preset number of videos can be all videos from the first video stream, or only some videos from the first video stream; this is not limited here.

[0121] For example, the preset quantity can be determined according to the actual situation, and is not limited here.

[0122] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the preset quantity can be a fixed value, or it can be determined based on the number of videos already displayed before step 102 (in this case, the preset quantity will not exceed the quantity threshold; that is, if the number of videos already displayed on the video playback page before step 102 exceeds the quantity threshold, the preset quantity is equal to the quantity threshold; if the number of videos already displayed on the video playback page is less than or equal to the quantity threshold, the preset quantity is the number of videos already displayed on the video playback page. For example, the quantity threshold can be determined according to the actual situation, and is not limited here).

[0123] 104e1. Insert the preset number of videos into the second video stream at a position adjacent to the second video.

[0124] For example, a preset number of videos can be inserted before the location of the second video in the second video stream, or a preset number of videos can be inserted after the location of the second video in the second video stream; there is no limitation here.
