In this embodiment, the highlighting mark may be a mark obtained by adding a bold outer frame to the outer side of the first preview information; the outer frame may have a special color, such as red or yellow.

In this embodiment, step S205 is the same as step S103, and therefore, explanation of the same contents will not be repeated here.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram (top) of an initial state and a schematic diagram (bottom) of a preset data flow of a video display area according to the present embodiment; wherein the video recommendation list (i.e., card list) is hidden or not present in the video display area in the initial case, which results in the playing of the first video being located in the video display area (i.e., page 1). At this time, the first video index value of the first video played in the video display area may be D _ L _ K, and the first video index value is located in a preset data stream, as shown in the preset data stream diagram, D _ L ═ D _ L _1 … D _ L _ K … D _ L _ N ], where the position of D _ L _ K is an index position of the first video in the preset data stream, and the preset data stream is used for the user video display area to play the corresponding videos in the order of the video stream. In addition, when the user performs a vertical sliding operation in the video display area, the played video may be switched in order in the data list D _ L.

It can be seen that, by implementing the implementation manner described in fig. 6, after the interactive instruction is detected, the extraction of the video tag and the acquisition of the second video can be completed according to the information paired by the interactive instruction and the first video currently being played in the current video display area, so that the video recommendation list is associated with the first video, thereby ensuring the stability and integrity of video playing, and facilitating the output of a subsequent video recommendation list.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating another video playing method according to an embodiment of the present application. The flow chart of the video playing method depicted in fig. 8 is improved according to the flow chart of the video playing method depicted in fig. 2. Specifically, embodiment 3 is used to further explain the video playback process on the basis of embodiment 1 or embodiment 2, and therefore embodiment 3 may be a further embodiment of embodiment 1, and may also be a further embodiment of embodiment 2. The video playing method can comprise the following steps:

S302, when a first interactive instruction along a first direction is received, dividing a video display area into a first sub display area and a second sub display area according to the first interactive instruction.

S303, playing a first video in the first sub-display area, and displaying a video recommendation list in the second sub-display area; the video recommendation list comprises first preview information of the first video.

In this embodiment, steps S301 to S303 are the same as steps S101 to S103, and therefore, explanation of the same contents will not be repeated herein.

In this embodiment, for the content in embodiment 2, corresponding steps may be inserted or replaced according to the step sequence, and details are not described in this embodiment again.

S304, playing at least one second video corresponding to at least one second preview information in the first sub-display area according to the time sequence.

In this embodiment, the time sequence is used to indicate the time flow sequence, that is, the time sequence is followed.

In this embodiment, the time sequence may also be specifically understood as a sequence of the video preview information in the video recommendation list.

In this embodiment, the video preview information has a sequence, and the sequence may be understood as a sequence from top to bottom or a sequence from left to right in the video recommendation list, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, because the video preview information has a sequential order, in terms of time sequence, a video with the preview information in front is played first, and a video with the preview information in back is played later. As can be seen, in the present embodiment, the ordering of the video preview information is time-sequential, so that when the second video is played, the second video is played sequentially according to the ordering (or referred to as order and time sequence) of the second preview information of the second video.

By implementing the implementation of the implementation mode, the second video corresponding to the second preview information can be played in the first sub-display area according to the time sequence, so that the first character display area can continuously play the next video after the first video is played, and the problem of video cut-off or stop playing can be avoided; in addition, the continuity and the fluency of video playing can be ensured by playing the video according to the time sequence, thereby improving the effect of video playing

S305, when a first play completion identifier for indicating that the video corresponding to the video recommendation list has been played completely is detected, supplementing at least one piece of third preview information corresponding to at least one first supplemental video at the tail part of the video recommendation list in a one-to-one manner.

In this embodiment, when the video corresponding to the video preview information in the video recommendation list is played completely, the electronic device generates a first play completion identifier, so that the electronic device automatically supplements at least one supplementary video when detecting the first play completion identifier, so that the first sub-display area can be continuously played.

In this embodiment, the first play completion flag may be automatically generated when all videos corresponding to the video preview information in the video recommendation list have been played completely.

In this embodiment, when a video corresponding to the last video preview information in the video recommendation list is played, a first resume identifier may be generated, so that the electronic device obtains at least one third preview information corresponding to at least one first supplementary video one to one when the first resume identifier is detected; when the first playing completion identifier is detected, the video recommendation list is automatically supplemented; therefore, a preloading effect is achieved, and the fluency of video playing is improved.

In this embodiment, the tail of the video recommendation list is used to represent the rear of the last video preview information in the video recommendation list, and when the visual ordering of the video preview information is from top to bottom, the tail is the lower part of the last video preview information; similarly, when the visual ordering of the video preview information is from left to right, then the tail is to the right of the last video preview information.

In this embodiment, the first supplementary video is a video for continuous play in the first sub-display region.

In the present embodiment, the third preview information is the video preview information of the first supplemental video, and the explanation of the video preview information may refer to the first preview information and the second preview information described above.

S306, playing at least one first supplementary video in the first sub-display area according to the time sequence.

In this embodiment, the explanation of the timing sequence is not repeated here.

In this embodiment, the playing sequence of the at least one first supplementary video may refer to step S303, and details of this embodiment are not repeated.

By implementing the implementation mode, the corresponding videos can be played continuously in sequence, so that the fluency of video playing is increased; meanwhile, the preview information can be additionally displayed in the second sub-display area, so that the display content of the first sub-display area is matched with the display content of the second sub-display area, the video playing synchronism is improved, and the user can watch the video conveniently.

Therefore, by implementing the video playing method described in fig. 8, videos corresponding to the preview information can be sequentially played in the first sub-display area according to the video recommendation list, so that the videos played in the first sub-display area are more orderly, and the video playing stability can be improved; meanwhile, the method can also automatically supplement the video preview information in the video recommendation list when the video corresponding to the video preview information in the video recommendation list is played completely, and continue to play the video corresponding to the supplemented video preview information in sequence, so that the first sub-display area can continuously play the video, the smoothness degree of video playing is improved, the user can watch the video continuously, and the comfort degree and the smoothness degree of watching the video by the user are improved.

Example 4

Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a flowchart illustrating another video playing method according to an embodiment of the present application. The flow chart of the video playing method described in fig. 9 is improved according to the flow chart of the video playing method described in fig. 2. Specifically, embodiment 4 is used to further explain the video on demand process on the basis of embodiment 1, embodiment 2, or embodiment 3, and therefore embodiment 4 may be a further embodiment of embodiment 1, may also be a further embodiment of embodiment 2, and may also be a further embodiment of embodiment 3. The video playing method can comprise the following steps:

s401, playing the first video in the video display area.

S402, when a first interactive instruction along a first direction is received, dividing a video display area into a first sub display area and a second sub display area according to the first interactive instruction.

S403, playing a first video in the first sub-display area, and displaying a video recommendation list in the second sub-display area; the video recommendation list comprises first preview information of the first video.

In this embodiment, steps S401 to S403 are the same as steps S101 to S103, and therefore, explanation of the same contents will not be repeated herein.

S404, playing a video-on-demand corresponding to the video-on-demand instruction in the first sub-display area when the video-on-demand instruction is received in the second sub-display area; and the on-demand preview information of the on-demand video is positioned in the video recommendation list.

In this embodiment, the vod command is generated according to a user operation.

In this embodiment, the generation operation of the vod instruction may be a touch operation performed by the user in the second sub-display area.

In this embodiment, the touch operation may be an operation of not more than two seconds of user touch in the second sub-display region.

In this embodiment, the electronic device (e.g., a mobile phone) may determine a contact position coordinate of the video-on-demand instruction according to the video-on-demand instruction, determine that the video-on-demand instruction corresponds to a certain second preview information in the video recommendation list according to the contact position coordinate, determine the second preview information as the on-demand preview information, and play a second video corresponding to the on-demand preview information in the first sub-display area (where the second video is determined to be the on-demand video).

For example, a user clicks one small video screenshot in a video recommendation list on a mobile phone, and the mobile phone plays a video corresponding to the small video screenshot in a first sub-display area according to the click, so that a video on demand process is completed.

Therefore, by implementing the implementation manner described in fig. 9, the video-on-demand instruction can be detected in the second sub-display area, and the on-demand preview information and the on-demand video can be determined according to the video-on-demand instruction, so that the first sub-display area can play the on-demand video, the controllability of video playing is improved, and a video-on-demand method based on a video playlist is further implemented, so that a user can conveniently perform specific video-on-demand according to the preference of the user.

Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic view of a complementary flow of a video playing method according to an embodiment of the present application. The flow chart of the video playing method depicted in fig. 10 is improved according to the flow chart of the video playing method depicted in fig. 2. Specifically, embodiment 4 is used to further explain the video fallback procedure on the basis of embodiment 1, embodiment 2, embodiment 3, or embodiment 4, and therefore embodiment 5 may be a further embodiment of embodiment 1, may also be a further embodiment of embodiment 2, may also be a further embodiment of embodiment 3, and may even be a further embodiment of embodiment 4. The video playing method may further include:

s501, playing the first video in the video display area.

S502, when a first interactive instruction along a first direction is received, dividing a video display area into a first sub display area and a second sub display area according to the first interactive instruction.

S503, playing a first video in the first sub-display area, and displaying a video recommendation list in the second sub-display area; the video recommendation list comprises first preview information of the first video.

In this embodiment, when the user performs a left-slide operation in the video display area, the electronic device records a first video index value D _ L _ K of a first video during the current left-slide operation, and simultaneously saves a recommended data stream (i.e., a preset data stream) D _ L shown in fig. 7 or a recommended data stream (i.e., a preset data stream) D _ L shown in the left diagram of fig. 11 to a memory backup, where the same recommended data stream D _ L is shown in the left diagrams of fig. 7 and 11; meanwhile, during the execution of the first interactive instruction, the second sub-display area may gradually display a video playlist (i.e., a card list in the figure), and load, from the server, a user data stream matching the user ID, denoted as D _ R ═ D _ R _1 …, D _ R _ N, according to a first video tag (which may be understood as a user ID) of the first video index value D _ L _ K data of the current first video, where the user data stream is used for representing a background data stream of the video recommendation list, as shown in the lower area of the diagram in fig. 11 or the right diagram; when the user data stream is loaded, traversing the user data stream to find an index value that is the same as the index value D _ L _ K, where the data included in D _ R is more, and therefore, in the process of finding D _ L _ K in D _ R, the data of the first page may not include D _ L _ K, and therefore, the present embodiment proposes three specific embodiments, one of which is: as shown in fig. 11, when the data D _ R _ M is found in D _ R — D _ L _ K, the method replaces D _ R _ M in the user data stream with D _ L _ K, and simultaneously replaces the play data stream of the first sub-display area with the user data stream from the preset data stream, that is, switches D _ L to D _ R, so that the video played in the first sub-display area can be performed according to the user data stream, in the process, D _ R corresponds to the video recommendation list; secondly, as shown in the right diagram of fig. 11, the method does not find the same index value as D _ L _ K in D _ R, so the electronic device background adds D _ R _0 to D _ L _ K, records D _ R _ M to D _ R _0, and simultaneously replaces the play data stream of the first sub-display region with the user data stream, i.e., switches D _ L to D _ R, so that the video played in the first sub-display region can be performed according to the user data stream, in the process, D _ R corresponds to the video recommendation list.

In this embodiment, steps S501 to S503 are the same as steps S101 to S103, and therefore, explanation of the same contents will not be repeated here.

In this embodiment, corresponding steps may be inserted or replaced according to the step sequence for the content in embodiment 2, embodiment 3, or embodiment 4, and details are not repeated in this embodiment.

S504, when a second interactive instruction along a second direction is received, filling the playing content in the first sub-display area into the video display area.

In this embodiment, the second direction may be any direction, and is not limited in this embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the second direction is preferably a direction opposite to the first direction.

In the present embodiment, the instruction type of the second interactive instruction is the same as that of the first interactive instruction, and therefore, the explanation for the second interactive instruction may refer to the explanation for the first interactive instruction described in embodiment 1.

In this embodiment, the second interactive instruction may be a right slide instruction.

In this embodiment, the first sub-display area is used for playing a certain second video (or the first video), so that the playing content in the first sub-display area corresponds to the playing content of the second video (or the playing content of the first video).

In this embodiment, the process of filling the playing content in the first sub-display area into the video display area may be understood as playing the second video (or the first video) in the video display area.

In this embodiment, the filling process does not need to generate a new page, and only needs to change the display area, so that additional CPU resources and memory space are not consumed.

In this embodiment, when the playing content in the first sub-display area is filled into the video display area, the display content in the second sub-display area is regarded as hidden, and the hiding process is not limited in this embodiment. Wherein the hiding process may comprise a fading process.

By implementing the implementation mode, the playing content in the first character display area can be filled in the video display area for playing, so that the display effect of playing the video is improved, the video recommendation list is hidden, and the watching experience of a user can be improved.

S505, acquiring a preset data stream corresponding to the first video and an index position of the first video in the preset data stream, and acquiring a third video index value of a third video; the third video includes the playback content.

In this embodiment, the preset data stream is a background data stream according to which the first video is played, where the preset data stream includes a first video index value of the first video, and a position of the first video index value in the preset data stream is recorded, and is referred to as an index position.

In this embodiment, the first video index value may be D _ L _ K, and other video index values in the preset data stream may be known by referring to the lower diagram shown in fig. 7, wherein the other video index values may be D _ L _1 and D _ L _2 … … D _ L _ n. Wherein, the position of D _ L _ K in the preset data stream can be recorded and stored in advance, so as to facilitate the step.

In this embodiment, the third video includes the above-mentioned playing content, and thus it can be one of the first video, the at least one second video, or one of the first supplementary videos in the above-mentioned other embodiments; here, since the first sub display region is playing one of the first video, the at least one second video, or the first supplemental video, the video being played is determined as a third video, and a third video index value of the third video is obtained.

In this embodiment, referring to fig. 12, fig. 12 is a schematic diagram illustrating a process of performing video switching according to a second interactive instruction, wherein an up-down switching requires to keep an original sequence of recommended data streams (i.e., a preset data stream) (e.g., an up-down switching is D _ L _ K +1 and a down-down switching is D _ L _ K-1), and therefore a video index value at an index position in D _ L needs to be replaced by a third video index value, where the third video index value is D _ R _ N.

In this embodiment, the third video index value D _ R _ N is a video index value of a video currently being played in the first sub-display region.

S506, replacing the third video index value with a preset data stream according to the index position to obtain a recommended data stream.

In this embodiment, the preset data flow is the recommended data flow described in fig. 7, fig. 11, and fig. 12, and details of this embodiment are not repeated.

In this embodiment, the recommended data stream obtained in this step is obtained by updating the preset data stream, and is not the recommended data stream described in fig. 7, fig. 11, and fig. 12; and the recommended data streams not specifically described throughout are all preset data streams.

In this embodiment, the process may be understood as a process of replacing D _ R _ N to a position of D _ L _ K in D _ L to obtain a new data stream.

And S507, generating a video play list according to the recommended data stream.

In this embodiment, the recommended data stream includes at least one video index value, where the at least one video index value corresponds to at least one video, the at least one video corresponds to at least one video preview information, and the at least one video preview information can form a video playlist.

In this embodiment, a video playlist is generated but need not be displayed.

In this embodiment, the video playlist may not even be generated, so that the subsequent steps are performed accordingly according to the recommended data stream.

And S508, playing the corresponding video in the video display area according to the video play list and the time sequence.

In this embodiment, the step S508 is similar to the step S404, and therefore, for the explanation of the timing sequence, the description is not repeated in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, the corresponding video is a video corresponding to the video preview information in the video playlist, and the specific corresponding video may be a video corresponding to the video index value in the recommended data stream.

S509, when a second play completion flag indicating that the video corresponding to the video playlist has been completely played is detected, at least one second video index value corresponding to at least one second supplementary video is supplemented at the tail of the recommended data stream.

In this embodiment, step S509 is similar to step S405, and therefore, for the second play complete identifier, details are not repeated in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, a second resume identifier may also be generated after this step, and the explanation on the second resume representation may refer to the first resume identifier, which is not described in detail in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, the process does not need to update the video playlist any more, because the process can perform video playback only according to the recommended data stream.

In this embodiment, when the recommended data stream is completely played (or the next page of data is automatically loaded), only the newly loaded data content Dx (i.e. the at least one second video index value corresponding to the at least one second supplemental video) needs to be inserted to the end of the D _ L (or the D _ R, which is explained in content embodiment 4 of the D _ R with reference to the description here), so that the D _ L can maintain the continuity of the data.

And S510, playing at least one second supplementary video in the video display area according to the time sequence.

In this embodiment, step S510 is similar to step S406, and therefore, for the explanation of playing according to time sequence, details are not repeated in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, in order to conveniently implement the process of switching from the preset data stream to the specific user data stream by sliding leftward and switching from the specific user data stream to the recommended data stream by sliding rightward, in this embodiment, a manner of synchronizing data sources is adopted, so that efficient and perceptually-free data stream switching is implemented. Therefore, by implementing the implementation mode, the process of switching the preset data stream to the user data stream can be realized through left-sliding operation, and a user has no perception (no flicker, no black screen, no progress synchronization and no pause); the process of switching the user data stream to the recommended data stream can be realized through right-sliding operation, and a user does not feel; the switching of videos can be realized through the up-and-down sliding operation in the video display area, and a user does not feel; the video can be switched by up-and-down sliding operation in the second sub-display area, and a user does not feel the video; the above points are explained in detail in embodiments 1 to 5.

In this embodiment, an execution subject of the video playing method may be a computer, a server, or other computing device, and is not limited in this embodiment.

It can be seen that, by implementing the video playing method described in fig. 10, the information of the currently played video can be identified according to the operation of the user, and then the user data stream corresponding to the identified user tag is loaded in the same playing page, and the user data stream is played, so that the generation of the multicast page is avoided by switching between the data streams, thereby avoiding the situations of excessive memory occupation and CPU resource waste, and simultaneously avoiding the synchronization delay between the multicast pages.

As an optional implementation manner, the video playing apparatus further includes:

a supplementing unit 670, configured to, when a first play completion identifier indicating that a video corresponding to the video recommendation list has been completely played is detected, supplement, at the end of the video recommendation list, at least one piece of third preview information in one-to-one correspondence with at least one first supplemental video;

the display unit 630 is further configured to play at least one first supplementary video in the first sub-display region in time sequence.

the filling unit 680 is configured to fill the playing content in the first sub-display area into the video display area when receiving a second interaction instruction along the second direction.

the obtaining unit 650 is further configured to obtain a preset data stream corresponding to the first video and an index position of the first video in the preset data stream, and obtain a third video index value of a third video; the third video comprises playing content;

a replacing unit 690, configured to replace the third video index value with a preset data stream according to the index position, so as to obtain a recommended data stream;

a component unit 660, configured to generate a video playlist according to the recommended data stream;

the playing unit 610 is further configured to play the corresponding video in the video display area according to the video playlist in a time sequence.

As an alternative embodiment, the supplementing unit 670 is further configured to, when a second play completion identifier indicating that the video play list corresponding to the video has completed playing is detected, supplement, at the end of the recommended data stream, at least one second video index value in one-to-one correspondence with at least one second supplemental video;

the playing unit 610 is further configured to play at least one second supplementary video in the video display area according to a time sequence.

It can be seen that, with the video playing apparatus described in fig. 14, efficient and highly accurate systematic operation can be achieved through the combination of multiple units, and the same-region output of the video recommendation list can be performed according to the interactive instruction input by the user during the video playing process, so that the video playing is not affected by the user operation, and thus a series of memory occupation problems, resource consumption problems, and playing stuck problems caused by the replacement of the playing page are avoided, thereby improving the playing quality of the video and improving the watching effect of the user.

Example 8

The present embodiment provides a video playback system capable of executing the video playback method according to any one of embodiments 1 to 5, where the video playback system includes a video display area, and the video playback method is applied to the video display area.

In a conventional implementation manner, please refer to fig. 15, fig. 15 is an exemplary schematic diagram of an initial video display area provided in an embodiment of the present application, and when the left-sliding operation is performed, the conventional implementation manner hides the playing screen shown in fig. 15 in an animation manner, and newly constructs a playing screen capable of displaying a video recommendation list; then, the video playback progress shown in fig. 15 is synchronized to the playback screen capable of displaying the video recommendation list at the same time, and playback is continued at the previous progress, thereby obtaining the playback screen shown in fig. 16; it can be seen that, in the process, each time the left slide is performed, 1 more video playing interface needs to be created, which results in a large amount of memory occupation and increased CPU resource consumption, and meanwhile, because fig. 16 and fig. 15 belong to two playing interfaces (i.e., different running processes), this makes fig. 16 preferentially synchronize the progress in the playing screen shown in fig. 15, and then display the playing screen, which results in a delay in video playing.

In the present embodiment, by way of example, since the method is applied to a video display area, it will be specifically exemplified by fig. 15 and 16. Fig. 15 is an initial exemplary schematic diagram of a video display area provided in this embodiment, and fig. 16 is a comprehensive exemplary schematic diagram of a first sub-display area and a second sub-display area after receiving a first interactive instruction provided in this embodiment. As can be seen from fig. 15, a user can view a certain video of a main broadcast, and when the user wants to find another video of the main broadcast, the user can perform a left-sliding operation on the video playing interface, so that fig. 15 becomes a picture (i.e., a picture displaying a video recommendation list) as in fig. 16, and thus, a video display area does not flicker, does not blank, is in progress synchronization, and does not pause; in addition, because the switching of video playing pictures is not needed, the playing delay in the traditional method can not occur in the implementation mode, and meanwhile, the implementation mode can also avoid the occupation of a large amount of memory and the increase of the consumption of CPU resources.

In this embodiment, the video playing system may be applied to various electronic devices, where the various electronic devices may include a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer, and the like, and the present embodiment is not limited in any way.
