Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The embodiment of the invention provides a method for playing videos by using video client software, which is applied to a browser and can comprise the following steps:
receiving a click instruction of a user on a webpage link;
responding to the click instruction, and sending a downloading request of the video corresponding to the webpage link to a server corresponding to the webpage link, so that after the server receives the downloading request, a downloading address of the video is searched locally, the searched downloading address is fed back to the browser, and meanwhile, the identity of the video client software corresponding to the webpage link is fed back to the browser;
receiving a download address and an identity fed back by the server;
detecting whether a first service which is registered by the video client software with the identity identification by using the discovery protocol and is consistent with the local equipment identification exists in the local area network or not based on the discovery protocol; target video client software corresponding to the first service registers the first service when being started, and cancels the first service when being closed, and a communication port which can be called is preset when the target video client software registers the first service;
and if so, sending a download address of the video to the communication port of the target video client software corresponding to the first service, so that the target video client software requests the server for video data according to the download address, and further playing the video.
It should be noted that the method for playing a video by using video client software provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a browser, where the browser is common software that can be installed on a terminal device, and the video client software is software that can be installed on the terminal device and plays a video. The video client software may register for service on the lan using the discovery protocol described above and may be discovered by other devices or software that enter the lan.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the video client software registers the service in the local area network by using the discovery protocol, a communication port which can be called is preset, and the communication port is randomly distributed. Because the video client software is registered for service when being started and is unregistered when being exited, the distributed communication port is occupied for a short time within a short time period between the start and the exit of the video client software, and the communication port is redistributed when the client is restarted next time, so that the phenomenon that the browser and the video client software cannot normally communicate through the specified port due to the fact that other software occupies the specified port in advance in the prior art is reduced, and users feel better.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for playing a video by using video client software according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a browser and includes the following steps:
s101, receiving a click instruction of a user on a webpage link;
it should be noted that a web page link is essentially a part of a web page, and is an element that allows connection with other web pages or sites. It refers to a connection from one web page to a target, which may be another web page, a different location on the same web page, a picture, an email address, a file, or even an application. In the embodiment of the invention, the webpage link mainly refers to a link for a video, and users can share the video through the webpage link.
Specifically, after the user clicks the web page link, the browser receives a click command generated by a click operation of the user. When the terminal equipment for installing the browser is non-touch screen equipment, a user can click through connecting equipment such as a mouse and the like; when the terminal equipment for installing the browser is touch screen equipment, a user only needs to directly click with a finger.
S102, responding to the click instruction, and sending a downloading request of the video corresponding to the webpage link to a server corresponding to the webpage link, so that after receiving the downloading request, the server locally searches a downloading address of the video and feeds the searched downloading address back to the browser, and simultaneously feeds the identity of the video client software corresponding to the webpage link back to the browser;
it should be noted that the web page link in the embodiment of the present invention is a link to a video in a certain video website, and the video may be downloaded and then played.
Specifically, after receiving a click instruction of a user in step S101, in response to the click instruction, a link target of the web page link is displayed on a browser, and the browser can send a video download request to a server corresponding to the web page link according to the web page link, where the download request at least includes a name identifier of the video; correspondingly, after receiving the download request, the server may locally search for the download address of the video having the name identifier according to the name identifier carried in the download request, and then send the searched download address to the browser. In the above, the web page link is a link for a video in a certain video website, so the server corresponding to the web page link is the server corresponding to the video website, and the video client software is the client of the video website, for example: and the pps client on the mobile phone.
For example, the web page link is a movie link of an "love art" video website, when a user clicks the link, the browser sends a download request of the movie to a server corresponding to the "love art" video website, the server corresponding to the "love art" video website searches for a download address of the movie according to the download request, and sends the download address to the browser after the download address is found; and, the identity that can represent "love art" client software is fed back to the browser, such as: the name of 'love art' is directly used as an identification.
S103, receiving the download address and the identity fed back by the server;
specifically, after the server corresponding to the web page link feeds back the download address of the video and the identity of the video client software corresponding to the web page link to the browser in step S102, the browser may receive the download address and the identity accordingly.
S104, based on a discovery protocol, detecting whether a first service exists in a local area network, wherein the first service is registered by the video client software with the identity identifier by using the discovery protocol and the equipment identifier used during registration is consistent with the local equipment identifier;
target video client software corresponding to the first service registers the first service when being started, and cancels the first service when being closed, and a communication port which can be called is preset when the target video client software registers the first service;
it should be noted that the discovery protocol may provide a function of discovering devices or software in a local area network, when an anchor device or anchor software enters the local area network, the discovery protocol may register a service, declare that the anchor device or anchor software exists in the local area network, and broadcast a device identifier and a provided specific function when the anchor device or anchor software registers the service, where the device identifier is a device identifier of a terminal device where the software is located, and the device identifier may be an IP (network protocol) address or a MAC (physical) address of the device. When other equipment or software enters the local area network, the broadcast message can be received and actively responded if the equipment or software wants to, and then communication connection is established with the anchor equipment or the anchor software.
Correspondingly, in the embodiment of the invention, when the video client software corresponding to the webpage link is started, the monitoring service is registered in the local area network, and the equipment identification and the provided specific function are broadcast when the monitoring service is registered, wherein the monitoring service is used for monitoring the browser which sends the call signal to the local area network. The video client software installed in different terminal devices register for the listening service with different device identifications, so that there will be a plurality of video client software registering for the listening service in the local area network, but their device identifications are different. And when the video client software exits from the local area network, the monitoring service is automatically cancelled. When the video client software registers the monitoring service each time, a communication port which can be called is randomly allocated by a server corresponding to a discovery protocol in the local area network, but when the video client software cancels the monitoring service, the calling function allocated to the communication port fails. If the registration interception service and the cancellation interception service of the video client software are taken as one period, the communication ports in each period may be inconsistent. When the video client software registers for the monitoring service, if the device identifier is the same as the local device identifier of the browser, the video client software and the browser are installed on the same terminal device, and more effective communication can be performed. In this case, for better reference description, the listening service registered by the video client software installed on the same terminal device as the browser is referred to as a first service, and the client software is referred to as target video client software.
Specifically, in step S103, a download address of the video and an identity of the video client software are received, after the browser enters the local area network, it is detected according to the discovery protocol whether there is a monitoring service registered by the video client software having the identity in the local area network, and when there is a monitoring service registered by the video client software having the identity, it is further determined whether the device identifier of the video client software when registering the monitoring service is consistent with the local device identifier, and the monitoring service consistent with the local device identifier is determined as the first service, and the video client software corresponding to the first service is the target video client software.
In practice, a multicast domain name system mdns protocol is usually used to discover devices or software in a local area network, and then the detecting whether there exists a first service in the local area network, which is registered by video client software having the identity using the discovery protocol and in which the device identity used during registration is consistent with the local device identity, based on the discovery protocol may include:
and detecting whether a first service which is registered by the video client software with the identity identifier by using the multicast domain name system protocol and is consistent with the local equipment identifier when the video client software is registered exists in the local area network or not based on the multicast domain name system protocol.
Specifically, the multicast domain name system protocol is an mdns protocol, which mainly realizes that hosts in a local area network can discover and communicate with each other without a traditional DNS server, and the browser and the video client software follow the mdns protocol, wherein the video client software uses names or name prefixes and the like known by those skilled in the art to register and monitor services. The principle of mutual discovery is consistent with the principle of mutual discovery of the discovery protocols, the mdns protocol is only one specific form of the discovery protocol, and those skilled in the art can know more local area network protocols with mutual discovery functions, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
And S105, if the video exists, sending a downloading address of the video to the communication port of the target video client software corresponding to the first service, so that the target video client software requests the server for video data according to the downloading address, and further playing the video.
Specifically, when the first service registered in the local area network exists in step S104, the download address of the video is sent to the communication port of the video client software corresponding to the first service, and after receiving the download address, the video client software can request the video data from the server according to the download address, and then play the video data. Generally, a server provides a segmented download, that is, a video corresponding to a web page link is pre-divided into a plurality of segments, when a download request of video client software is received, a first segment of video clip is transmitted to the video client software, and after a predetermined time or after a download request of the first segment of video clip by the video client software is received, the video clip is continuously transmitted until all the video clips are transmitted.
Compared with the prior art, when the video client software registers services in the local area network by using the discovery protocol, the video client software is preset with a communication port which can be called, and the communication port is randomly allocated. Because the video client software is registered for service when being started and is unregistered for service when being exited, the distributed communication port is occupied for a short time within a short time period between the start and the exit of the video client software, and the communication port is redistributed when the client is restarted next time, so that the phenomenon that the browser and the video client software cannot normally communicate through the specified port due to the fact that other software occupies the specified port in advance in the prior art is reduced, and users feel better.
Further, in practice, the browser may not detect the first service and may play locally, possibly due to detecting a failure, the video client software not registering for service in the local area network, or the detected registered service not being the first service. Based on the above requirement, as shown in fig. 2, another method for playing a video by using video client software is provided in an embodiment of the present invention, where the method includes S101 to S105, and the method may further include:
s205, if the first service does not exist, video data are requested from the server according to the downloading address and played in a webpage.
Specifically, if it is detected in step S104 that the first service does not exist, the video data may be requested from the server directly and locally according to the download address fed back by the server, and then played. Generally, a server provides a segmented download, that is, a video corresponding to a web page link is pre-divided into a plurality of segments, when a download request of video client software is received, a first segment of video clip is transmitted to the video client software, and after a predetermined time or after a download request of the first segment of video clip by the video client software is received, the video clip is continuously transmitted until all the video clips are transmitted.
Therefore, when the first service cannot be detected, the video can still be played in the browser as in the prior art, so that diversified selections are provided for playing the video, the probability that the video cannot be played in the video client software due to various errors is reduced, and the user experience is better.
Furthermore, in a scenario, the browser may not detect the first service, possibly because the device in which the first service is installed does not have video client software with an identity identifier, so as to enable the user to have a better experience in local video viewing, the user may be reminded to download the video client software, and the video is played in the video client software. Based on the above requirement, as shown in fig. 3, another method for playing a video by using video client software is provided in an embodiment of the present invention, where the method includes S101 to S105, and the method may further include:
s305, if the first service does not exist, displaying prompt information about downloading the target video client software.
Specifically, when it is detected in step S104 that the first service does not exist, prompt information about downloading the target video client software is displayed. The prompt information can be output in a pop-up window form or a message reminding form, and after receiving the prompt information, a user can download the target video client software through the local area network, so that the video can be watched in the target video client software by using the method of the embodiment of the invention.
Therefore, when the target video client software is not installed in the terminal equipment where the browser is located, the prompt information can prompt the user to download the target video client software, the prompt information is more humanized, after the user downloads the target video client software according to the prompt information, the user can watch videos in the target video client software according to the method described in the embodiment of the invention, and the user experience is better.
Furthermore, in practice, the target video client software may be in a background running or sleeping state when not being used, and a reminding mechanism may be added before sending the download address to the target video client software. Based on the above requirement, as shown in fig. 4, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for playing a video by using video client software, where the method includes, on the basis of steps S101 to S105, the method may further include:
s406, if the first service exists, sending a reminding instruction to the communication port of the target video client software, and further executing the step of sending the download address of the video to the communication port of the target video client software;
and the reminding instruction is used for reminding the target video client software to prepare to receive the download address.
Specifically, if it is detected in step S104 that the first service exists, a reminding instruction is first sent to the communication port of the target video client software, where the reminding instruction can remind the target video client software to prepare to receive the download address. And then sending the download address of the video corresponding to the webpage link to the communication port of the target video client software.
Therefore, the probability of success of receiving the download address by the target video client software can be increased by adding the reminding mechanism, and the user experience is better.
Compared with the prior art, when the video client software registers services in the local area network by using the discovery protocol, the video client software is preset with a communication port which can be called, and the communication port is randomly allocated.
