Namely, the processor or the electronic device can implement the audio playing method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the invention can be a mobile electronic device or a non-mobile electronic device. For example, the mobile electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm top computer, a vehicle-mounted electronic device, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like, and the non-mobile electronic device may be a Personal Computer (PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine, a self-service machine, and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited.

The execution main body of the audio playing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be the electronic device, or may also be a functional module and/or a functional entity capable of implementing the audio playing method in the electronic device, which may be determined specifically according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. The following takes an electronic device as an example to exemplarily explain an audio playing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the user wants the electronic device to play the target audio, the user may not need to check the audio directory of the electronic device, and the user may trigger the electronic device to start playing the first audio from the first middle position in the first audio through the input (i.e., the first input) to the electronic device, so that the user may quickly identify whether the first audio is the target audio, and if the first audio is the target audio, the user may trigger the electronic device to play the target audio from the start time of the target audio; if the first audio is not the target audio, the user can trigger the electronic device to play the second audio from the third position of the second audio, so that the user can quickly determine the target audio.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides an audio playing method applied to an electronic device, and the method may include steps 101 to 103 described below.

Step 101, the electronic device receives a first input of a user.

Wherein, the first input can be used to confirm the playing of the first audio.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first input is an input for confirming that the first audio is played. The first input may specifically be any one of: voice input to the electronic device, gesture input to the electronic device, key input to the electronic device, and the like. The key input to the electronic device may be any one of the following: a single-press input to a key of the electronic device, a multi-press input to a key of the electronic device, a press input to two or more combination keys of the electronic device, and the like. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not particularly limited.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first audio may specifically be any one of the following: speech, singing, instrumental, etc. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not particularly limited.

It should be noted that, for more visually and specifically describing the implementation of the present invention, the following examples use the first audio as the song for illustration, and do not limit the embodiments of the present invention.

Step 102, the electronic device starts playing the first audio from a first middle position of the first audio in response to the first input.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first middle position of the first audio is a position after the start position of the first audio and before the end position of the first audio, and the second middle position of the first audio is a position after the first middle position of the first audio and before the end position of the first audio. That is, the audio between the first middle position of the first audio and the second middle position of the first audio is a segment of the first audio.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, before the first input, if the electronic device plays another audio, the electronic device switches from the another audio to the first audio in response to the first input, and plays the first audio; or before the first input, if the electronic device does not play other audio, the electronic device responds to the first input and plays the first audio.

It should be noted that, a complete song may be divided into five parts from front to back in sequence according to the time sequence of song playing, that is: a verse portion, a refrain portion, a transitional sentence portion, a popular sentence portion, and a bridge portion. If the song is a song that the user listens to, the user may often recognize the song when the song is played to the refrain portion.

In addition, the embodiment of the present invention is exemplarily illustrated by taking the first audio as the song, wherein the first intermediate position of the first audio may be a starting position of the refrain of the song, and the second intermediate position of the first audio may be an ending position of the refrain of the song, that is, the refrain of the song is an audio between the first intermediate position and the second intermediate position. The following embodiments take the audio between the first middle position of the first audio and the second middle position of the first audio as an example of the refraining part of the song, and do not limit the embodiments of the present invention. The audio between the first intermediate position of the first audio and the second intermediate position of the second audio may also be any of: a main song portion of the song, a transitional sentence portion of the song, a popular sentence portion of the song, or a bridge portion of the song.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, a duration of playing the audio between the first audio first middle position and the first audio second middle position may be a preset duration. If the predicted playing time of the audio between the first audio first middle position and the first audio second middle position is longer than the preset time, playing part of the audio between the first audio first middle position and the first audio second middle position; if the predicted playing time of the audio between the first audio first middle position and the first audio second middle position is equal to the preset time, the audio between the first audio first middle position and the first audio second middle position is played; and if the predicted playing time of the audio between the first audio first middle position and the first audio second middle position is less than the preset time, circularly playing the audio between the first audio first middle position and the first audio second middle position.

For example, suppose three songs are stored in the electronic device, which are: song a, song B, and song C, wherein the playing time length of the refrain part of song a is 20 seconds, the playing time length of the refrain part of song B is 10 seconds, and the playing time length of the refrain part of song C is 8 seconds. If the preset duration of the electronic equipment is 10 seconds, under the condition that the user controls the electronic equipment to play the song A from the refraining part of the song A, the electronic equipment plays the audio of the first 10 seconds of the refraining part of the song A; under the condition that the user controls the electronic equipment to play the song B from the refraining part of the song B, the electronic equipment plays all audio of the refraining part of the song B; under the condition that the user controls the electronic equipment to play the song C from the refraining part of the song C, the electronic equipment circularly plays the audio of the refraining part of the song C for 10 seconds.

Step 103, if the electronic device does not receive the input of the user before playing to the second middle position of the first audio, after playing to the second middle position of the first audio, starting to play the first audio from the start position of the first audio, or starting to play the second audio from the third middle position of the second audio.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the electronic device does not receive an input of a user, where the input is not received by the electronic device for playing the first audio in a process before the electronic device plays the first audio to the second intermediate position of the first audio.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the starting of playing the first audio from the starting position of the first audio means that the electronic device defaults that the user selects the first audio and starts playing the first audio when the electronic device does not receive the user input before playing to the second intermediate position of the first audio. The above starting to play the second audio from the third middle position of the second audio means that the electronic device defaults that the user does not select the first audio before the electronic device plays the second audio to the second middle position of the first audio, so as to perform a song switching operation, that is, stop playing the first audio, and start to play the second audio from the third middle position of the second audio.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the end of the audio playing from the first audio first intermediate position to the first audio second intermediate position may specifically be any of the following: and finishing the complete audio playing from the first audio first middle position to the first audio second middle position and finishing the audio playing from the first audio first middle position to the first audio second middle position after the preset time length is reached. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not particularly limited.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the third middle position of the second audio is a position after the start position of the second audio and before the end position of the second audio.

For example, suppose that the starting playing time of song a is 00:00 and the starting playing time of the refrain part in song a is 00: 40. If the user wants to select song A to play, the user may make a single press input (i.e., a first input) to a key of the electronic device, in response to which the electronic device starts playing the refrain of song A from a start time 00:40 (i.e., a first audio first intermediate position) of the refrain portion of song A (i.e., a first audio). If the electronic equipment does not receive the input of the user in the process of playing the refrain, after the refrain finishes playing, the electronic equipment starts playing the song A from the starting time 00:00 of the song A.

The embodiment of the invention provides an audio playing method, which receives a first input of a user; in response to the first input, playing the first audio starting at a first intermediate position of the first audio; if the user input is not received before the second middle position of the first audio is played, the first audio is played from the initial position of the first audio or the second audio is played from the third middle position of the second audio after the second middle position of the first audio is played. Through the scheme, on one hand, if the user wants the electronic device to play the target audio, the user can trigger the electronic device to start playing from the first middle position of the first audio through the first input to the electronic device, so that the user can quickly identify whether the first audio is the target audio, and the time for the electronic device to determine the target audio is further reduced. On the other hand, if the user input is not received before the second middle position of the first audio is played, the first audio is played from the initial position of the first audio or the second audio is played from the third middle position of the second audio after the second middle position of the first audio is played, so that the user can conveniently locate the target audio and the user experience is improved.

Optionally, with reference to fig. 2, as shown in fig. 3, in the embodiment of the present invention, the step 102 may be specifically implemented by the following step 102a, and correspondingly, the step 103 may be specifically implemented by the following step 103 a.

Step 102a, the electronic device starts playing the first audio at a first playing speed from a first middle position of the first audio in response to the first input.

Step 103a, if the electronic device does not receive the input of the user before playing to the second middle position of the first audio, after playing to the second middle position, starting to play the first audio from the start position of the first audio at the second playing speed, or starting to play the second audio from the third middle position of the second audio at the first playing speed.

Wherein, the second playing speed is less than the first playing speed.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first playing speed is greater than a standard playing speed, where the standard playing speed is a speed at which the electronic device normally plays the first audio, or a default playing speed of the electronic device. I.e. the ratio of the first playback speed to the standard playback speed is a value greater than 1. Illustratively, the first play speed may be 1.5 times the standard play speed, and the first play speed may be 2 times the standard play speed.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second playing speed is smaller than the first playing speed. I.e. the second playback speed may be less than or equal to the standard playback speed. Illustratively, the first play speed may be 1.5 times the standard play speed, and the second play speed may be the standard play speed.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, in order to facilitate the user to quickly identify the first audio through the audio (e.g., the refrain) between the first audio first intermediate position and the first audio second intermediate position, the electronic device may play the audio between the first audio first intermediate position and the first audio second intermediate position at a speed (i.e., the first play speed) faster than the standard play speed, so that the user receives more audio information in the same time, and the accuracy of user identification is improved.

For example, suppose that the starting playing time of song a is 00:00 and the starting playing time of the refrain part in song a is 00: 40. If the user wants to select song A to play, the user may make a single press input (i.e., a first input) to a key of the electronic device, in response to which the electronic device plays the refrain of song A at a speed 1.5 times the standard play speed (i.e., the first play speed) from a start time 00:40 of the refrain portion (i.e., the audio between the first audio first intermediate position to the first audio second intermediate position) of song A (i.e., the first audio). If the electronic equipment does not receive the input of the user in the process of playing the refrain, after the refrain finishes playing, the electronic equipment starts to play the song A at the standard playing speed from the starting time 00:00 of the song A.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the electronic device plays the audio between the first audio first intermediate position and the first audio second intermediate position, the electronic device may play the audio between the first audio first intermediate position and the first audio second intermediate position according to the first play speed, so that the electronic device may play the audio between the first audio first intermediate position and the first audio second intermediate position at a speed faster than the standard play speed, and thus, in the same time, the user may receive more audio information, thereby improving the accuracy of the user in identifying the audio.

Optionally, with reference to fig. 2, as shown in fig. 4, in the embodiment of the present invention, before the step 102, the audio playing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps 104 and 105.

Step 104, the electronic device obtains information of the first audio.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the information of the first audio may include time information of playing the first audio and identification information of other first audios. The specific information of the first audio may be any one of the following items: a text identification including time information of the first audio playback, a sound identification including time information of the first audio playback, a data identification including time information of the first audio playback, and the like. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not particularly limited.

Specifically, if the first audio is a song, the information of the first audio may be: lyrics including time information of the song playing, a music piece including time information of the song playing, or a data identification including time information of the song playing.

Step 105, the electronic device determines a first middle position of the first audio and a second middle position of the first audio according to the information.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the determining the first middle position of the first audio is a playing time of the determining the first middle position; the determining of the second middle position of the first audio is determining the playing time of the second middle position. For example, if the audio between the first middle position of the first audio and the second middle position of the first audio is a refrain part of a song, the determining the first middle position of the first audio and the second middle position of the first audio may specifically be determining a start playing time and an end playing time of the refrain of the song.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, according to the information, the electronic device may determine a first middle position of the first audio and a second middle position of the first audio through a first algorithm. The first algorithm may specifically be any one of the following: a time sequence detection algorithm, a time sequence analysis algorithm, a feature extraction algorithm and the like. The method and the device can be determined according to actual use requirements, and embodiments of the invention are not particularly limited.

For example, assuming that the first audio is song a, fig. 5 is a playing timing diagram of song a, as shown in fig. 5, a starting playing time of song a (i.e., the first audio) is 00:00, and an ending playing time of song a is 02:59, where song a may include a refrain of song a (i.e., an audio from a first audio first intermediate position to a first audio second intermediate position, and an interval M time in fig. 5 corresponds to an audio), and the starting playing time of the refrain of song a is 00:40, and the ending playing time of the refrain of song a is 00: 55. The electronic equipment can determine a first middle position of the first audio according to the information of the song A, namely the position of the playing time of 00: 40; a second intermediate position of the first audio is determined, i.e. the position at which the playing time is 00: 55.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the electronic device can determine the first middle position of the first audio and the second middle position of the first audio according to the information of the first audio, the electronic device can precisely control to play the audio between the first middle position of the first audio and the second middle position of the first audio.

Optionally, with reference to fig. 2, as shown in fig. 6, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the step 102, the audio playing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following step 106.

And 106, if the electronic equipment receives a second input of the user before the electronic equipment plays the first audio to the second middle position of the first audio, stopping playing the first audio, and starting playing the second audio from the third position of the second audio.

Preferably, the second audio is different from the first audio.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the step 102, the step 103 and the step 106 are alternatively executed.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second input may be used to switch the first audio to the second audio, that is, the second input is an input that stops playing the first audio and starts playing the second audio from a third position of the second audio. The second input may specifically be any of: voice input to the electronic device, key input to the electronic device, etc. The key input to the electronic device may be any one of the following: a single-press input to a key of the electronic device, a multi-press input to a key of the electronic device, a press input to two or more combination keys of the electronic device, and the like. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not particularly limited.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second audio may include audio from a third position of the second audio to a fourth position of the second audio. For example, if the first audio is song a and the second audio is song B, the audio from the first middle position of the first audio to the second middle position of the first audio may be refrain from song a, and the audio from the third position of the second audio to the fourth position of the second audio may be refrain from song B.

For example, suppose that the starting playing time of song a is 00:00, the starting playing time of the refrain part in song a is 00:40, the starting playing time of song B is 00:00, and the starting playing time of the refrain part in song B is 01: 10. The method comprises the steps that a user triggers the electronic equipment to play the refrain of the song A from the starting time 00:40 of the refrain part of the song A (namely, the first audio) (namely, the audio between the first audio first middle position and the first audio second middle position), the electronic equipment receives double pressing input (namely, the second input) of a key of the electronic equipment by the user in the process that the electronic equipment plays the refrain of the song A, the electronic equipment responds to the double pressing input, stops playing the refrain of the song A, and starts playing the refrain of the song B from the starting time 01:10 of the refrain part of the song B (namely, the audio between the second audio third position and the second audio fourth position).

In the embodiment of the invention, because the electronic device can respond to the input of the user, stop playing the audio between the first audio first middle position and the first audio second middle position, and start playing the second audio from the third position of the second audio, the user can control the electronic device to start playing different audio from the first middle position of different audio through the input of the user, so that the user can identify the target audio from the audio between the first middle position and the second middle position of each audio.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the step 106 may be specifically implemented by the following step 106 a.

Step 106a, if the electronic device receives a second input from the user before playing to the second middle position of the first audio, stopping playing the first audio, and starting from the third position of the second audio, playing the second audio at the first playing speed.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the description related to the first speed may specifically refer to the description related to the step 102a, and is not repeated herein.

For example, suppose that the starting playing time of song a is 00:00, the starting playing time of the refrain part in song a is 00:40, the starting playing time of song B is 00:00, and the starting playing time of the refrain part in song B is 01: 10.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the third input of the user is received before the electronic device plays to the second intermediate position of the first audio, after the electronic device plays to the second intermediate position, the electronic device continues to play the first audio from the second intermediate position of the first audio. Therefore, different playing and using requirements of the user can be met, and the using experience of the user is improved.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the step 107 may be specifically implemented by the following step 107 a.

Step 107a, if the electronic device receives a third input from the user before playing to the second middle position of the first audio, continuing to play the first audio from the second middle position at the second playing speed after playing to the second middle position.

For example, suppose that the starting playing time of song a is 00:00, the starting playing time of the refrain part in song a is 00:40, and the starting time of the transition sentence part of song a is 01: 10. The method comprises the steps that a user triggers the electronic equipment to play the refrain of the song A at the speed (namely the first playing speed) 1.5 times of the standard playing speed from the starting time 00:40 of the refrain part of the song A (namely the audio between the first audio middle position and the first audio second middle position), in the process that the electronic equipment plays the refrain of the song A, the electronic equipment receives long-press input (namely third input) of a key of the electronic equipment by the user, the electronic equipment responds to the long-press input, stops playing the refrain of the song A, and starts to play the transition sentence part of the song A at the standard playing speed (namely the second playing speed) from the starting time 01:10 of the transition sentence part of the song A.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the electronic device receives a third input from the user before playing to the second middle position of the first audio, after playing to the second middle position, the electronic device continues to play the first audio from the second middle position at the second playing speed. Wherein the first playing speed is greater than the second playing speed. Therefore, the electronic equipment can play the audio between the first audio intermediate position and the second audio intermediate position at a higher speed, so that a user can conveniently and quickly determine the target audio, and the electronic equipment plays the audio behind the second audio intermediate position of the first audio at a lower playing speed, so that different playing use requirements of the user can be met, and the use experience of the user is improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, after the step 102, the audio playing method provided in this embodiment of the present invention may further include the following step 108.

And 108, if the electronic device receives a fourth input from the user before playing to the second middle position of the first audio, starting to play the first audio from the start position of the first audio.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the fourth input may be used to play the first audio from a start position of the first audio. The specific fourth input may specifically be any one of: voice input to the electronic device, key input to the electronic device, etc. The key input to the electronic device may be any one of the following items: a long press input to a key of the electronic device, a single press input to a key of the electronic device, a multi-press input to a key of the electronic device, a press input to two or more combination keys of the electronic device, and the like. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not particularly limited.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the step 102, the step 103, the step 106, the step 107 and the step 108 are alternatively executed.

For example, suppose that the starting playing time of song a is 00:00 and the starting playing time of the refrain part in song a is 00: 40. The method comprises the steps that a user triggers the electronic equipment to play the refrain of the song A from the starting time 00:40 of the refrain part of the song A (namely, the first audio) (namely, the audio between the first audio middle position and the first audio second middle position), in the process that the electronic equipment plays the refrain of the song A, the electronic equipment receives double-click input (namely, a fourth input) of a key of the electronic equipment by the user, responds to the double-click input, the electronic equipment stops playing the refrain of the song A, and the electronic equipment restarts to play the song A from the starting playing time 00:00 of the song A.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the fourth input from the user is received before the electronic device plays to the second intermediate position of the first audio, the first audio is played from the starting position of the first audio. Therefore, the requirement of the user for circularly playing the first audio can be met, and the use experience of the user is improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, in response to the first input, the electronic device may start playing the first audio at the first playing speed from the first middle position of the first audio; and when receiving a fourth input of the user, starting to play the first audio at the second playing speed. Wherein the second playing speed is less than the first playing speed.
