Adaptive Video Address Conversion for Mobile Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional social network video playback on mobile terminals is hindered by small video playback areas and poor video playback effects due to system differences between mobile terminals and personal computer clients, reducing user experience and platform competitiveness.
Innovation Solution
A video processing method that involves a mobile terminal requesting and a server adapting video addresses to generate optimized status update data with adaptive video addresses, enabling improved video playback on mobile terminals by converting source video addresses into formats suitable for mobile devices, such as MP4, IFRAME, or H.264 formats.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional web page designed for PC client is used on mobile terminal, then the video can be played, but the video playback area is small and the video playback effect is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by converting the video address into different formats (MP4, IFRAME, H.264) specifically optimized for mobile terminal playback. This transforms the video playback parameters to be suitable for mobile screens, thereby improving video playback adaptability and playback area without requiring a complete redesign of the web page structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism through the server that receives the video address, determines the terminal type, and converts it into an appropriate playback format. This intermediary process enables seamless adaptation between PC-based video sources and mobile terminal requirements, resolving the contradiction between maintaining video source compatibility and optimizing for mobile playback area.
2Quantity of substance
If advertisement information, recommendation information, and comment information are presented around the video playback area, then more content is displayed, but the video playback effect is impacted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by optimizing the video playback area specifically for mobile terminals while allowing other content elements (advertisements, recommendations, comments) to be arranged in surrounding areas. This creates different quality levels in different regions of the display - full-screen or optimized playback in the central video area, and supplementary content in peripheral areas - thereby maintaining video playback quality while preserving content quantity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If video address conversion is performed to improve mobile playback, then video playback effect is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the server to automatically detect terminal types and perform appropriate video address conversions without requiring complex client-side processing or manual intervention. The system serves itself by having the server handle all adaptation logic, thereby improving mobile video playback compatibility while keeping the overall system complexity manageable through centralized automated processing.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a video processing method, a mobile terminal, and a server. The method may include: sending, by a mobile terminal, a request to a server for pulling status update data of a social network, so that the server acquires original status update data that is requested to be pulled, the original status update data including a source video address; performing, by the server, adaptation processing on the source video address, to generate an adaptive video address; updating, by the server, the original status update data by using the adaptive video address, to obtain optimized status update data, and returning the optimized status update data to the mobile terminal; and obtaining, by the mobile terminal, adaptive video data according to the adaptive video address in the optimized status update data, and playing the adaptive video data.
