Music Player Video Playback Mode Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The display mode of traditional music players is monotonous, offering only lyric play mode and album play mode, limiting user interaction to either lyrics or album pictures while listening to music.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for a music player that allows users to switch between playback modes, including a new video playback mode within the music playback page, enabling users to watch videos synchronized with music without page changes, while maintaining music playback progress and allowing video switching through gestures or controls.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional music player display modes are used (lyric play mode or album play mode), then the music playback function is simple and easy to operate, but the display mode is monotonous and limits user interaction
Solution Approach 1:
The music playback page is designed to support multiple display modes (lyric play mode, album play mode, and video play mode) within a single interface. The playback interface can dynamically switch between different modes based on user selection, allowing one interface to serve multiple functions - displaying lyrics, album artwork, or videos while playing music, thereby increasing adaptability without requiring separate applications for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The playback interface is made dynamic by enabling real-time switching between different display modes. Users can change the display mode during music playback, and the interface adapts its content accordingly - showing lyrics in lyric play mode, album art in album play mode, or video content in video play mode. This dynamic reconfiguration allows the same interface to provide varied experiences without structural changes.
2Ease of operation
If video playback is added within music playback page, then user engagement is enhanced and video playback is convenient, but the interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The video playback function is merged with the existing music playback page rather than being implemented as a separate application or interface. The same playback page that displays lyrics and album art also supports video playback through a unified interface. This merging approach allows users to access video playback conveniently within the music player without needing to switch to a different application, thereby improving ease of operation while sharing the same interface infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The playback interface is designed with multi-functionality to handle both music playback and video playback within the same environment. The interface can dynamically adjust its content based on the selected mode - displaying music-related content (lyrics, album art) or video content - allowing one interface to serve multiple purposes. This universality enables convenient video playback access while avoiding the need for separate video playback applications.
3Adaptability or versatility
If video switching operation is received during music playback, then video playback flexibility is improved, but the music playback progress may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures the relationship between music tracks and video content, allowing video switching operations to be performed without disrupting music playback. When a video switching operation is received, the system can quickly retrieve the corresponding video content based on the current music playback position and switch videos while maintaining music continuity. This preliminary preparation of video-content mappings ensures that video switching can occur flexibly without affecting music playback reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism that decouples video switching operations from music playback control. When a user performs a video switching operation, the intermediary layer handles the video selection and switching independently, while the music playback continues uninterrupted. This intermediary approach allows video flexibility and music continuity to coexist by mediating between the two functions and preventing interference between them.

AI summary
The present application belongs to the technical field of music playback, and disclosed thereby are a music playing method, device, terminal and storage medium. The method comprises: playing first music by means of a music player, and playing a video in a music playing page, the first music corresponding to at least two videos; receiving a video switching operation in the music playing page, the video switching operation comprising at least one of a sliding operation, a clicking operation, a long pressing operation and a pressing operation; switching the video playing in the music playing page according to the video switching operation, and continuing to play the first music by means of the music player. The music player in the embodiments of the present application adds a new playing mode, in which the user can watch a video directly on the music playing page while listening to the music, and can switch the currently playing video. In the whole process, no additional video application program is needed, which improves the efficiency of the user watching the video and enriches the playing modes of the music player.
