Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a video playing method, as shown in fig. 2, performed by a terminal, according to an exemplary embodiment, the method including the following steps.

In step S201, the terminal plays the video on the play interface.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the video may be a long video or a short video, etc. The video time length of the short video is not longer than the first time length, and the video time length of the long video is longer than the first time length. The first time period may be set and changed as needed.

In some embodiments, the terminal is provided with a target application, the playing interface is an interface on the target application, and the target application can play the video. Accordingly, the target application may be a short video application, a video application, or may be a shopping application, a social application, etc. capable of playing video. In other embodiments, the playing interface is an interface on a player of the terminal itself, which is not specifically limited herein.

In step S202, in response to a target gesture operation on the playing interface, the terminal displays a thumbnail progress bar on the playing interface, wherein a plurality of first thumbnails are displayed on the thumbnail progress bar, target thumbnails in the plurality of first thumbnails are highlighted, the plurality of first thumbnails are used for indicating video contents at a plurality of time points in the video, and the target thumbnails are used for indicating playing progress corresponding to the target gesture operation.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the target gesture operation may be set and changed as needed. For example, the target gesture operation is a slide operation or a long press operation, or the like. Further, a progress adjusting component is further displayed on the playing interface, and the target gesture operation can be a drag operation of the progress adjusting component.

In some embodiments, the target gesture operation is further used for adjusting a playing progress of the video, and the playing progress corresponding to the target gesture operation is the playing progress corresponding to the ending position of the target gesture operation. If the target gesture operation is not used for adjusting the playing progress of the video, the playing progress corresponding to the target gesture operation is the current playing progress corresponding to the triggering time point of the target gesture operation.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the plurality of first thumbnails are thumbnails of a plurality of video frames in the video. The time difference between the plurality of first thumbnails may be set and changed as desired. The first plurality of thumbnails encompasses a plurality of thumbnails from a video start point to a video end point. The plurality of first thumbnails are sequentially arranged according to the playing time points of the corresponding video frames, namely, the thumbnails of the video frames with early playing time points are arranged on the left side of the thumbnail progress bar, and the thumbnails of the video frames with late playing time points are arranged on the right side of the thumbnail progress bar.

Optionally, the time difference between each adjacent two of the plurality of first thumbnails is equal. Alternatively, among the plurality of first thumbnails, the time difference between adjacent first thumbnails at both ends is larger than the time difference between adjacent first thumbnails at the center, that is, the closer to the center of progress of the video, the smaller the time difference between adjacent first thumbnails. Or, the time difference between the adjacent first thumbnails positioned in the second time period of the playing progress corresponding to the target gesture operation is smaller than the time difference between the adjacent first thumbnails positioned outside the second time period, namely, the time difference between the adjacent first thumbnails which are closer to the playing progress corresponding to the target gesture operation is smaller.

In step S203, in response to the progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar, the terminal continues to play the video with the play progress corresponding to the progress adjustment operation as the play start point.

In this embodiment of the present application, the progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar may be a drag operation, a click operation, or a continuous gesture operation, for example, a continuous gesture operation is a drag operation lengthened by a press operation. If the progress adjustment operation is a drag operation, the playing progress corresponding to the progress adjustment operation is the playing progress corresponding to the first thumbnail pointed by the drag operation.

In some embodiments, in response to a progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar, continuing to play the video with a play progress corresponding to the progress adjustment operation as a play start point, including at least one of: responding to the dragging operation of the thumbnail progress bar, highlighting a first thumbnail corresponding to the dragging operation, and continuing to play the video by taking the playing progress corresponding to the dragging operation as a playing starting point; and responding to the triggering operation of any first thumbnail, highlighting the triggered first thumbnail, and continuing to play the video by taking the playing progress corresponding to the triggered first thumbnail as the playing starting point.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, since the highlighted first thumbnail is the thumbnail corresponding to the adjusted playing progress and is used for indicating the video content corresponding to the playing progress, correspondingly, in response to the dragging operation, the video content corresponding to each of a plurality of time points can be indicated, so that the user can conveniently and quickly adjust to the desired position based on the displayed video content, and the interaction efficiency is improved. In response to the triggering operation of any first thumbnail, the playing progress of the video can be adjusted to the playing progress corresponding to the triggered first thumbnail, so that the thumbnail progress bar does not need to be dragged, the rapid adjustment of the progress is realized, and the interaction efficiency is improved. That is, the embodiment adjusts the playing progress through the dragging operation of the thumbnail progress bar and the triggering operation of the thumbnail, and improves the interaction diversity on the basis of improving the interaction efficiency.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises: if the stay time of the progress adjustment operation on any playing progress reaches a first preset time, replacing a plurality of first thumbnails on the thumbnail progress bar with a plurality of second thumbnails, wherein the plurality of second thumbnails are thumbnails in a second preset time length around any playing progress, and the time difference between the plurality of second thumbnails is smaller than the time difference between the plurality of first thumbnails.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, in the process of adjusting the playing progress, the user stays at any playing progress for a longer time, so that the user is interested in the video content near the playing progress, and therefore, a more accurate second thumbnail is displayed at the moment to provide the user with the more accurate video content which the user may be interested in, so that the user can perform more accurate interaction on the basis, further interaction efficiency and user experience are further improved, and the user is promoted to watch the video.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises at least one of: if the operation speed of the progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar displaying the second thumbnails is smaller than the speed threshold, replacing the plurality of second thumbnails on the thumbnail progress bar with a plurality of first thumbnails; and if the progress adjustment operation of the thumbnail progress bar displaying the second thumbnails is not detected, replacing the plurality of second thumbnails on the thumbnail progress bar with the plurality of first thumbnails.

In this embodiment, the operation speed of the user is smaller than the speed threshold, which indicates that the user does not move fast based on the thumbnail progress bar displayed with the second thumbnail, and further indicates that the user is only adjusting the thumbnail progress bar to a common degree, and the accuracy of the thumbnail is not further required, so that the second thumbnail is not displayed at this time and is matched with the interaction requirement of the user. And the first thumbnail is continuously displayed, so that the user can acquire video contents corresponding to other playing progress based on the first thumbnail, and the user can adjust to other playing progress conveniently. The user does not trigger the thumbnail progress bar displayed with the second thumbnail, which indicates that the user is very likely not to need to perform progress adjustment based on the thumbnail progress bar, so that the second thumbnail is not displayed at the moment and is matched with the interaction requirement of the user. And the first thumbnail is continuously displayed, so that the user can acquire video contents corresponding to other playing progress based on the first thumbnail, and the user can adjust to other playing progress conveniently.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the target gesture operation is a gesture operation on the play progress bar, the play progress bar is used to adjust the play progress. Accordingly, the embodiment displays the more accurate thumbnail progress bar under the condition that the user wants to adjust the playing progress, so that the accuracy of the time for displaying the thumbnail progress bar is improved, the progress adjusting functions are relatively concentrated and connected, the user operation is facilitated, and the interaction convenience is improved. And in the drag operation process of the playing progress bar, the thumbnail progress bar is displayed under the condition of sliding in the first direction, so that a user can freely select whether to display the thumbnail progress bar, and further, the user can freely select whether to use the playing progress bar or the thumbnail progress bar to adjust the playing progress, the interaction diversity and the independent selectivity are improved, and further, the user experience is improved.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises: continuously playing the video in the process of performing the target gesture operation; or stopping playing the video in the process of the target gesture operation, and displaying a video frame corresponding to the playing progress corresponding to the target gesture operation on the playing interface.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, in the process of adjusting the playing progress of the video, the normal playing of the video is maintained, so that the user can watch the video normally while adjusting the playing progress. Under the condition that the thumbnail progress bar is displayed, the video is stopped from being played, the video frames corresponding to the adjusted playing progress are displayed on the playing interface, the target thumbnail is displayed on the thumbnail progress bar, so that the size of the target thumbnail is limited, the screen is blocked due to gesture operation of a user, the user is difficult to accurately acquire the video content corresponding to the adjusted playing progress based on the thumbnail progress bar, the video frames corresponding to the adjusted progress are displayed on the playing interface, the user can accurately acquire the video content corresponding to the adjusted playing progress based on the video frames displayed on the playing interface, the user can more accurately acquire the video content of each time point, the user experience is improved, the user is facilitated to perform progress adjustment, and the human-computer interaction efficiency is improved.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises: under the condition of continuing to play the video, canceling to display the thumbnail progress bar in response to a sliding operation of the playing interface in the second direction; under the condition of stopping playing the video, canceling to display the thumbnail progress bar in response to the sliding operation of the playing interface in the second direction, and continuing to play the video by taking the displayed video frame as a playing starting point; or under the condition of stopping playing the video, in response to the triggering operation of the displayed video frame, cancelling the display of the thumbnail progress bar, and continuing to play the video by taking the displayed video frame as a play starting point.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, by setting the gesture operation for canceling the thumbnail progress bar, the user can cancel the thumbnail progress bar freely under the condition that the user does not want to adjust the playing progress based on the thumbnail progress bar, namely, the interaction diversity and convenience are improved, and further the user experience is improved. In the progress adjustment process, the video stops playing and needs to be triggered again after the progress adjustment to continue playing, but in the embodiment, in response to the sliding operation in the second direction, the thumbnail progress bar is canceled to be displayed, and the video can be continuously played, so that the interaction efficiency is improved. In the progress adjustment process, the video stops playing and the displayed video frame needs to be triggered to continue playing, so after the displayed video frame is triggered, the thumbnail progress bar is canceled to be displayed, the video can continue playing, and the interaction efficiency is improved.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises: in the case of continuing to play the video, an enlarged view of the target thumbnail is displayed on the play interface.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, since the video continues to be played, the playing content of the video is different from the video content of the progress adjusted by the gesture operation of the target, and since the target thumbnail is displayed on the thumbnail progress bar, the size of the target thumbnail is limited, and since the gesture operation of the user can cause the screen to be blocked, it is difficult for the user to accurately acquire the video content corresponding to the adjusted playing progress based on the thumbnail progress bar. And displaying the enlarged view of the target thumbnail on the playing interface, so that the user can accurately acquire the video content corresponding to the adjusted playing progress based on the enlarged target thumbnail, the user can more accurately acquire the video content of each time point, the user experience is improved, the progress adjustment is facilitated for the user, and the human-computer interaction efficiency is improved.

Fig. 2 is a basic flow of the video playing method, and the process of the video playing method is further described below based on fig. 3. Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a video playing method performed by a terminal, the method being illustrated by taking continuing to play video during a progress adjustment process, the method including the following steps, according to an exemplary embodiment.

In step S301, the terminal plays the video on the play interface.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, step S301 is the same as step S201, and will not be described herein.

In step S302, in response to a target gesture operation on the playing interface, the terminal displays a thumbnail progress bar on the playing interface, wherein a plurality of first thumbnails are displayed on the thumbnail progress bar, target thumbnails in the plurality of first thumbnails are highlighted, and the video continues to be played, wherein the plurality of first thumbnails are used for indicating video contents at a plurality of time points in the video, and the target thumbnails are used for indicating playing progress corresponding to the target gesture operation.

In this embodiment, since the target gesture operation is a gesture operation on the play progress bar, the play progress bar is used to adjust the play progress. Accordingly, the embodiment displays the more accurate thumbnail progress bar under the condition that the user wants to adjust the playing progress, so that the accuracy of the time for displaying the thumbnail progress bar is improved, the progress adjusting functions are relatively concentrated and connected, the user operation is facilitated, and the interaction convenience is improved. And in the drag operation process of the playing progress bar, the thumbnail progress bar is displayed under the condition of sliding in the first direction, so that a user can freely select whether to display the thumbnail progress bar, and further, the user can freely select whether to use the playing progress bar or the thumbnail progress bar to adjust the playing progress, the interaction diversity and the independent selectivity are improved, and further, the user experience is improved.

The first direction can be set and changed according to the requirement. In this embodiment, description will be given taking the first direction as an upward direction as an example; accordingly, the target gesture operation is a continuous gesture operation of a drag operation plus a slide operation. The first direction is different from the direction of the drag operation of the playing progress bar, so that the functional conflict is avoided.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the display position of the playing progress bar on the playing interface can be set and changed according to the need; for example, the display position of the playing progress bar on the playing interface is the top area or the bottom area of the playing interface. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a display position of a playing progress bar on a playing interface is taken as an example of a bottom area of the playing interface. Accordingly, the drag operation on the play progress bar is a drag operation on the play progress bar to the left or right.

In some embodiments, the play progress bar is in a collapsed state prior to drag operations on the play progress bar. In response to a drag operation on the play progress bar, the state of the play progress bar changes to a drag state. And in the dragging state, the playing progress bar is thickened and displayed, and the total duration of the video and the time point of the playing progress corresponding to the dragging operation are displayed on the playing progress bar. Correspondingly, in the process of drag operation, responding to the up-slide operation, and displaying a thumbnail progress bar on a playing interface by the terminal.

In some embodiments, since both the thumbnail progress bar and the play progress bar are used to adjust the play progress, the thumbnail progress bar is displayed in an adjacent area of the play progress bar, such as in an upper area of the play progress bar, for the purpose of centralization of the progress adjustment function.

It should be noted that, after the thumbnail progress bar is displayed on the playing interface, the playing progress bar may be continuously displayed or hidden. Optionally, since the thumbnail progress bar and the play progress bar are both used for adjusting the play progress, after the thumbnail progress bar is displayed, the response amplitude of the thumbnail progress bar and the play progress bar to the dragging operation may be different, and more accurate progress adjustment can be performed based on the thumbnail progress bar, so that in order to avoid functional conflict, the play progress bar is hidden, so that the interaction accuracy is improved. Or the thumbnail progress bar and the play progress bar are displayed in parallel, so that a user can freely select a mode for adjusting the play progress.

For example, referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flow diagram illustrating a progress adjustment according to an exemplary embodiment. The playing interface displays a playing progress bar 401, responds to the dragging operation of the playing progress bar 401, changes the playing progress bar into a dragging state, and further displays the total duration of the video and the time point of the playing progress corresponding to the dragging operation. In the course of the drag operation, in response to the slide-up operation, the terminal displays the thumbnail progress bar 402 on the playback interface, and hides the playback progress bar 401.

In other embodiments, the play progress bar is in a collapsed state prior to drag operations on the play progress bar. And responding to the dragging operation of the playing progress bar, wherein the playing progress bar disappears, the thumbnail progress bar is directly displayed on the playing interface, and the total duration of the video and the time point of the playing progress corresponding to the dragging operation are also displayed. For example, referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flow diagram illustrating a progress adjustment according to an exemplary embodiment. And responding to the dragging operation of the playing progress bar, displaying the thumbnail progress bar on the playing interface by the terminal, and hiding the playing progress bar.

In some embodiments, the drag operation on the play progress bar is a trigger operation only for the play progress bar. In other embodiments, the drag operation on the playing progress bar is a trigger operation on a progress adjustment area, where the progress adjustment area includes an area where the playing progress bar is located and an adjacent area of the playing progress bar, so as to reduce difficulty of interaction and improve convenience of interaction.

In some embodiments, the video continues to play during the progress of the target gesture operation. And in the case of continuing to play the video, displaying an enlarged view of the target thumbnail on the play interface. In this embodiment, since the video continues to be played, the playing content of the video is different from the video content of the progress adjusted by the gesture operation of the target, and since the target thumbnail is displayed on the thumbnail progress bar, the size of the target thumbnail is limited, and since the gesture operation of the user may cause the screen to be blocked, it is difficult for the user to accurately know the video content corresponding to the adjusted playing progress based on the thumbnail progress bar. And displaying the enlarged view of the target thumbnail on the playing interface, so that the user can accurately acquire the video content corresponding to the adjusted playing progress based on the enlarged target thumbnail, the user can more accurately acquire the video content of each time point, the user experience is improved, the progress adjustment is facilitated for the user, and the human-computer interaction efficiency is improved.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the target thumbnail is used to indicate the play progress currently adjusted to. The highlighting manner of the target thumbnail includes the following. In one implementation, the separation line is displayed on the target thumbnail. In another implementation, the outline of the display target thumbnail is bolded. In another implementation, the special effects are displayed on the target thumbnail. In another implementation, a cue marker or cue text pointing to the target outline is displayed on the playback interface. In this embodiment, description will be given taking an example of displaying a separation line on a target thumbnail. Accordingly, in response to the progress adjustment operation of the thumbnail progress bar, the separation line is displayed on the first thumbnail corresponding to the play progress corresponding to the progress adjustment operation.

In step S303, the terminal cancels the display of the thumbnail progress bar in response to the slide operation of the play interface in the second direction in the case of continuing to play the video.

In the disclosed embodiment, the second direction may be set and changed as needed. In this embodiment, the second direction is exemplified as the downward direction. Wherein the second direction is different from the direction of the drag operation on the thumbnail progress bar to avoid the occurrence of a functional conflict.

In some embodiments, after the thumbnail progress bar is canceled to be displayed, the terminal continues to display the playing progress bar on the playing interface, and displays the playing progress bar in a calling state, and the playing progress bar is thickened and displayed in the calling state, so that the user operation is facilitated. And displaying the playing progress bar in the stowing state after displaying the third time length of the playing progress bar in the arousing state. The third duration refers to a duration in which the trigger operation on the play progress bar is not detected. In this embodiment, if the thumbnail progress bar is not displayed, the user may want to adjust the playing progress based on the playing progress bar, and the playing progress bar is redisplayed in the evoked state at this time, so that the user operation is facilitated, and the playing progress bar is not required to be re-evoked by the user operation, so that the interaction efficiency is improved, and further the user experience is improved.

In other embodiments, after the thumbnail progress bar is cancelled, the terminal displays the play progress bar directly in the collapsed state to display a normal play interface. In other embodiments, after the thumbnail progress bar is canceled to be displayed, the terminal displays the playing progress bar in a drag state, and the playing progress bar not only coarsely displays the thumbnail progress bar in the drag state, but also displays the total duration of the video and the time point of the playing progress corresponding to the drag operation. If the triggering operation of the playing progress bar is not detected within a certain period of time, the playing progress bar is displayed in a calling state and a stowing state successively.

For example, with continued reference to fig. 4, in response to a sliding operation of the playing interface in the second direction, the terminal cancels the display of the thumbnail progress bar, continues to display the playing progress bar in the drag state, displays the playing progress bar in the evoked state after a certain period of time when the playing progress bar is not triggered in the drag state. For another example, with continued reference to fig. 5, in response to a sliding operation of the playing interface in the second direction, the terminal cancels the display of the thumbnail progress bar and continues to display the playing progress bar directly in the evoked state.

In this embodiment, by setting the gesture operation of canceling the thumbnail progress bar, the user can cancel the thumbnail progress bar freely under the condition that the user does not want to adjust the playing progress based on the thumbnail progress bar, that is, the diversity and convenience of interaction are improved, and further the user experience is improved.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, in the process of performing the target gesture operation, the video continues to play. And after the target gesture operation is finished, continuing to perform progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar, and continuing to play the video. In this embodiment, in the process of adjusting the playing progress of the video, the normal playing of the video is maintained, so that the user can also watch the video normally while adjusting the playing progress.

In step S304, the terminal responds to the progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar, and the stay time of the progress adjustment operation on any one of the playing progress reaches a first preset time, the plurality of first thumbnails on the thumbnail progress bar are replaced by a plurality of second thumbnails, the plurality of second thumbnails are thumbnails centered on any one of the playing progress and within a front-back second preset time, and the time difference between the plurality of second thumbnails is smaller than the time difference between the plurality of first thumbnails.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the plurality of second thumbnails are thumbnails of a plurality of video frames in the video. The time difference between the plurality of second thumbnails may be set and changed as desired. The plurality of second thumbnails are sequentially arranged according to the playing time points of the corresponding video frames, namely, the thumbnails of the video frames with early playing time points are arranged on the left side of the thumbnail progress bar, and the thumbnails of the video frames with late playing time points are arranged on the right side of the thumbnail progress bar.

In this embodiment, the number between the plurality of first thumbnails and the plurality of second thumbnails may be the same or different. Optionally, the number of the plurality of first thumbnails is the same as the number of the plurality of second thumbnails. Since the time difference between the plurality of second thumbnails is smaller than that between the plurality of first thumbnails, that is, the plurality of second thumbnails are more accurate, more accurate video content can be provided by the plurality of second thumbnails. Alternatively, the number of the plurality of second thumbnails is greater than the number of the plurality of first thumbnails. Since the time difference between the plurality of second thumbnails is smaller than the time difference between the plurality of first thumbnails, more video content can be provided on the basis of improving the thumbnail accuracy.

Optionally, the time difference between each adjacent two of the plurality of second thumbnails is equal. Or, among the plurality of second thumbnails, the time difference between adjacent second thumbnails at both ends is larger than the time difference between adjacent second thumbnails at any one of the playback progress, that is, the time difference between second thumbnails closer to the stopped playback progress is smaller. Alternatively, the time difference between adjacent second thumbnails within the fourth time period from the difference in time period of the stopped playback progress is smaller than the time difference between adjacent second thumbnails outside the fourth time period, that is, the closer to the stopped playback progress, the smaller the time difference between adjacent second thumbnails.

In this embodiment, the progress adjustment operation is a drag operation on the thumbnail progress bar or a trigger operation on any one of the first thumbnails. Correspondingly, when the stay time of the progress adjustment operation on any playing progress reaches the first preset time, in the process of dragging operation, the long-time-duration at the position reaches the first preset time when the playing progress is dragged. Or the time length of the progress adjustment operation on any playing progress reaches a first preset time length, namely the time length of the long press of any first thumbnail reaches the first preset time length, and the playing progress corresponding to the first thumbnail is the playing progress which is stopped.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first preset duration may be set and changed according to needs, which is not specifically limited herein. The second preset time period can be set and changed as required. Optionally, the second preset duration is determined based on a total duration of the video. And if the second preset time period is the total time period of the preset proportion. That is, in the case where the number of the plurality of second thumbnails is fixed, the shorter the duration of the video, the higher the accuracy of the plurality of second thumbnails.

In this embodiment, in the process of adjusting the playing progress, the user stays at any playing progress for a longer time, so that the user is interested in the video content near the playing progress, and therefore, a more accurate second thumbnail is displayed at this time to provide the user with the more accurate video content that the user may be interested in, so that the user can perform more accurate interaction on the basis, further the interaction efficiency and the user experience are further improved, and the user's viewing rate of the video is promoted.

In some embodiments, the terminal also redisplays the first thumbnail at some time, including the following two implementations.

In one implementation, if an operation speed of a progress adjustment operation on a thumbnail progress bar on which second thumbnails are displayed is less than a speed threshold, the terminal replaces the plurality of second thumbnails on the thumbnail progress bar with the plurality of first thumbnails.

In this implementation, the operation speed of the user is smaller than the speed threshold, which indicates that the user does not move fast based on the thumbnail progress bar displayed with the second thumbnail, and further indicates that the user is only adjusting the thumbnail progress bar to a common degree, and the accuracy of the thumbnail is not further required, so that the second thumbnail is not displayed at this time and is matched with the interaction requirement of the user. And the first thumbnail is continuously displayed, so that the user can acquire video contents corresponding to other playing progress based on the first thumbnail, and the user can adjust to other playing progress conveniently.

In another implementation, if a progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar on which the second thumbnail is displayed is not detected, the terminal replaces the plurality of second thumbnails on the thumbnail progress bar with the plurality of first thumbnails. And the triggering operation of the thumbnail progress bar is not detected, and the fact that the finger of the user leaves the playing interface is indicated.

In this implementation, the user does not trigger the thumbnail progress bar displaying the second thumbnail, which means that the user is likely not to need to make progress adjustment based on the thumbnail progress bar, so that the second thumbnail is not displayed at this time and matches the interaction requirement of the user. And the first thumbnail is continuously displayed, so that the user can acquire video contents corresponding to other playing progress based on the first thumbnail, and the user can adjust to other playing progress conveniently.

For example, with continued reference to fig. 4 and 5, in response to the stay time of the progress adjustment operation at any one of the play progress reaches a first preset time, the terminal replaces the plurality of first thumbnails on the thumbnail progress bar with the plurality of second thumbnails. Wherein fig. 1, fig. 2, etc. represent a first thumbnail, and fig. 5.1, fig. 5.2, etc. represent a second thumbnail. Accordingly, when rapid movement of the thumbnail progress bar on which the second thumbnail is displayed is not detected, the plurality of second thumbnails on the thumbnail progress bar are replaced with the plurality of first thumbnails.

In other embodiments, if the operation speed of the progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar on which the second thumbnail is displayed is greater than the speed threshold, and is adjusted to the first thumbnail or the last thumbnail of the plurality of second thumbnails based on the progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar, the terminal replaces the plurality of second thumbnails on the thumbnail progress bar with the plurality of first thumbnails, so that the user can review the video content of other play progress based on the first thumbnail.

Or if the first thumbnail or the last thumbnail of the plurality of second thumbnails is adjusted based on the progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar, the plurality of second thumbnails are directly replaced, and the replaced thumbnail is a plurality of second thumbnails corresponding to the play progress of the first thumbnail adjacent and forward, or is a plurality of second thumbnails corresponding to the play progress of the last thumbnail adjacent and backward. According to the implementation method, the user can directly watch the video content at a plurality of time points on the precision of the second thumbnail without returning to display the first thumbnail, so that the interaction efficiency and the user experience are improved.

It should be noted that the steps of step S303 and step S304 are only for convenience of description, and are not intended to limit the execution sequence of the two. Step S303 and step S304 are both an optional implementation step. If step S303 is performed first, step S304 is not required to be performed again because the thumbnail progress bar disappears. If step S304 is executed first, then step S303 is executed, that is, in the case of continuing to play the video during the progress of the progress adjustment operation, the thumbnail progress bar is not displayed in response to the sliding operation of the playing interface in the second direction, and step S305 is not executed any more.

In any of the above cases, since the progress adjustment is performed based on the target gesture operation before the thumbnail progress bar is canceled, if no other progress adjustment operation is performed after the thumbnail progress bar is canceled, the video is continued to be played with the play progress corresponding to the target gesture operation as the play start point. If the progress adjustment operation is performed based on the thumbnail progress bar before the thumbnail progress bar is canceled, and other progress adjustment operations are not performed after the thumbnail progress bar is canceled, continuing to play the video by taking the play progress corresponding to the progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar as the play start point.

In step S305, in response to the progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar, the terminal continues to play the video with the play progress corresponding to the progress adjustment operation as the play start point.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the end of the progress adjustment operation refers to that the finger corresponding to the progress adjustment operation leaves the playing interface, i.e., the terminal no longer detects the triggering operation on the playing interface.

In the case where the first thumbnail is displayed on the thumbnail progress bar, the progress adjustment is performed by the first thumbnail, and in the case where the second thumbnail is displayed on the thumbnail progress bar, the progress adjustment is performed by the second thumbnail. And correspondingly, under the condition that the first thumbnail is displayed on the thumbnail progress bar, the terminal responds to the progress adjustment operation of the thumbnail, and continues the video playing process by taking the playing progress corresponding to the progress adjustment operation as a playing starting point, wherein the process comprises at least one of the following two implementation modes.

In one implementation, in response to a drag operation on the thumbnail progress bar, the terminal highlights a first thumbnail corresponding to the drag operation, and continues to play the video with a play progress corresponding to the drag operation as a play start point.

In this implementation, the explanation will be given taking as an example that the first thumbnail finger corresponding to the highlighting drag operation displays the separation line on the first thumbnail. Accordingly, during the drag operation on the thumbnail progress bar, the separation line is displayed on the different first thumbnail as the drag operation proceeds.

Alternatively, the drag operation on the thumbnail progress bar may be a drag operation on the partition line. In this implementation manner, since the highlighted first thumbnail is a thumbnail corresponding to the adjusted playing progress and is used for indicating the video content corresponding to the playing progress, correspondingly, in response to the dragging operation, the video content corresponding to each of the multiple time points can be indicated, so that the user can conveniently and quickly adjust to a desired position based on the displayed video content, and the interaction efficiency is improved.

In another implementation manner, in response to a triggering operation on any first thumbnail, the terminal highlights the triggered first thumbnail, and continues to play the video by taking the playing progress corresponding to the triggered first thumbnail as a playing start point.

In the implementation manner, in response to the triggering operation of any first thumbnail, the playing progress of the video can be adjusted to the playing progress corresponding to the triggered first thumbnail, so that the thumbnail progress bar does not need to be dragged, the rapid adjustment of the progress is realized, and the interaction efficiency is improved. That is, the embodiment adjusts the playing progress through the dragging operation of the thumbnail progress bar and the triggering operation of the thumbnail, and improves the interaction diversity on the basis of improving the interaction efficiency.

In the case where the second thumbnail is displayed on the thumbnail progress adjustment, the progress adjustment is realized by the second thumbnail. Accordingly, the terminal responds to the progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail, and the process of playing the video is continued by taking the playing progress corresponding to the progress adjustment operation as a playing starting point, wherein the process comprises at least one of the following two implementation modes.

In one implementation, in response to a drag operation on the thumbnail progress bar, the terminal highlights a second thumbnail corresponding to the drag operation, and continues to play the video with a play progress corresponding to the drag operation as a play start point. In another implementation manner, in response to a triggering operation on any second thumbnail, the terminal highlights the triggered second thumbnail, and continues to play the video by taking the playing progress corresponding to the triggered second thumbnail as the playing start point. The specific processes of the two implementations are the same as those of the two implementations, and are not repeated here.

In some embodiments, if the progress adjustment operation is not performed on the thumbnail progress bar after the target gesture operation is finished, continuing to play the video by taking the play progress corresponding to the target gesture operation as the play start point. Further, after the video is continuously played, the thumbnail progress bar is canceled from being displayed so as to avoid shielding of the played video by the thumbnail progress bar. Or after the video is continuously played, the thumbnail progress bar disappears after the fifth time length is displayed, wherein the fifth time length refers to the time length when the triggering operation of the thumbnail progress bar is not detected, so that the thumbnail progress bar is canceled from being displayed under the condition that the user is further confirmed to not need to adjust the playing progress any more, and the rationality is improved. Further, after the thumbnail progress bar is canceled from being displayed, the playing progress bar is continuously displayed, and the process is the same as the process of displaying the continuous playing progress bar in step S303, and will not be described again here.

In some embodiments, the target gesture operation is an operation for the playing progress bar, and the target gesture operation for the playing progress bar and the progress adjustment operation for the thumbnail progress bar may be continuous operations, that is, after the thumbnail progress bar is displayed through the target gesture operation, the drag operation for the thumbnail progress bar is continued without leaving the user's finger from the screen. Accordingly, after the thumbnail progress bar is displayed based on the target gesture operation, if the gesture of the user leaves the screen, it is indicated that the progress adjustment operation is not performed based on the thumbnail progress bar.

In other embodiments, the trigger area of the target gesture operation on the play progress bar and the drag operation on the thumbnail progress bar is the same functional area on the play interface. Alternatively, the function area includes a display area of the playing progress bar and a display area of the thumbnail progress bar, and since the target gesture operation may be a drag operation on the playing progress bar, the drag operation in the function area before the thumbnail progress bar is displayed is taken as the target gesture operation, and the drag operation in the function area after the thumbnail progress bar is displayed is taken as the progress adjustment operation. If the target gesture operation is a continuous gesture operation, it is obvious that the drag operation after the sliding operation in the first direction is a progress adjustment operation.

In some embodiments, when the terminal displays the thumbnail progress bar on the playing interface and also displays the playing progress bar, the terminal responds to the progress adjustment operation on the playing progress bar, and can also adjust the playing progress.

It should be noted that, before step S305, step S304 is an optional execution step, that is, step S305 may be directly executed after step S302 is executed. Alternatively, after step S302 is performed, step S304 is performed, and step S305 is performed again, that is, step S304 is performed before step S305. Accordingly, the progress adjustment operations in step S304 and step S305 are the same progress adjustment operation, which does not need to be repeatedly performed.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a video playing method, which is characterized in that in response to target gesture operation on a playing interface, a thumbnail progress bar can be displayed on the playing interface, and thumbnails corresponding to video contents at a plurality of time points are displayed on the thumbnail progress bar, so that a user can know the video contents of the video at the plurality of time points based on the thumbnail progress bar, and rich reference information is provided for the user to perform progress adjustment. On the basis, the user can adjust the playing progress based on the thumbnail progress bar, so that the user can quickly adjust the position to be watched, and further the man-machine interaction efficiency is improved.

The above description is based on the embodiment of fig. 3, taking the example of continuing to play video during the progress adjustment process. The following description will take, as an example, a case where playing of video is stopped in progress adjustment based on the embodiment of fig. 6. Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a video playing method performed by a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment, the method including the following steps.

In step S601, the terminal plays video on the play interface.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the step S601 is the same as the step S301, and will not be described herein.

In step S602, in response to a target gesture operation on the playing interface, the terminal displays a thumbnail progress bar on the playing interface, wherein a plurality of first thumbnails are displayed on the thumbnail progress bar, the target thumbnails in the plurality of first thumbnails are highlighted, the terminal stops playing video, a video frame corresponding to a playing progress corresponding to the target gesture operation is displayed on the playing interface, the plurality of first thumbnails are used for indicating video contents at a plurality of time points in the video, and the target thumbnails are used for indicating the playing progress corresponding to the target gesture operation.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of displaying the thumbnail progress bar in step S602 is the same as that of step S302, and will not be described again here.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the video frame displayed on the playing interface, that is, the video frame corresponding to the target thumbnail.

In this embodiment, under the condition that the thumbnail progress bar is displayed, playing of video is stopped, and the playing interface displays video frames corresponding to the adjusted playing progress, because the target thumbnail is displayed on the thumbnail progress bar, the size of the target thumbnail is limited, and because the screen is blocked due to gesture operation of a user, it is difficult for the user to accurately acquire video content corresponding to the adjusted playing progress based on the thumbnail progress bar, and video frames corresponding to the adjusted progress are displayed on the playing interface, so that the user can accurately acquire video content corresponding to the adjusted playing progress based on the video frames displayed on the playing interface, user experience is improved, and further progress adjustment by the user is facilitated, and man-machine interaction efficiency is improved.

For example, referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a flow diagram illustrating a progress adjustment according to an exemplary embodiment. The method comprises the steps of responding to drag operation of a playing progress bar, enabling the playing progress bar to be in a drag state, and displaying total duration of video and a time point of playing progress corresponding to the drag operation. In the drag operation process, responding to the up-slide operation, stopping playing the video, and displaying a video frame corresponding to the playing progress corresponding to the drag operation on a playing interface.

For another example, referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a flow chart illustrating a progress adjustment according to an exemplary embodiment. And responding to the dragging operation of the playing progress bar, displaying the thumbnail progress bar on the playing interface, hiding the playing progress bar, and pausing the playing of the video.

In step S603, in the case of stopping playing the video, the terminal cancels the display of the thumbnail progress bar in response to the sliding operation of the playing interface in the second direction, and continues playing the video with the displayed video frame as the playing start point.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of canceling the display of the thumbnail progress bar and continuing to play the video in the case of stopping playing the video is achieved through the above step S603. In this embodiment, since the video stops playing in the progress adjustment process, the video needs to be triggered again after the progress adjustment to continue playing, and in this embodiment, in response to the sliding operation in the second direction, the display of the thumbnail progress bar is canceled, and the video can be further enabled to continue playing, thereby improving the interaction efficiency.

In other embodiments, the process further includes the following implementations: under the condition that the terminal stops playing the video, responding to the triggering operation of the displayed video frame, canceling the display of the thumbnail progress bar, and continuing to play the video by taking the displayed video frame as a play starting point. In this embodiment, since the video stops playing in the progress adjustment process, the displayed video frame needs to be triggered to continue playing the video, after the displayed video frame is triggered, the thumbnail progress bar is cancelled from being displayed, and the video can continue playing, so that the interaction efficiency is improved.

In some embodiments, after canceling the display of the thumbnail progress bar, the terminal continues to display the play progress bar on the play interface and displays the play progress bar in an evoked state. And displaying the playing progress bar in the stowing state after displaying the third time length of the playing progress bar in the arousing state. Or after the thumbnail progress bar is canceled from being displayed, the terminal directly displays the playing progress bar in a retracted state so as to display a normal playing interface.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, in the process of performing the target gesture operation, the video stops playing. And after the target gesture operation is finished, continuing to perform progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar, and stopping playing the video.

It should be noted that, since the target gesture operation may include a drag operation and a sliding operation in the first direction, optionally, during the drag operation, the video only needs to be played, and after the sliding operation in the first direction is performed, the video stops playing.

In step S604, the terminal responds to the progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar, if the stay time of the progress adjustment operation on any one of the playing progress reaches the preset time, the plurality of first thumbnails on the thumbnail progress bar are replaced by a plurality of second thumbnails, the plurality of second thumbnails are thumbnails centered on any one of the playing progress and within the preset time, and the time difference between the plurality of second thumbnails is smaller than the time difference between the plurality of first thumbnails.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, step S604 is the same as step S304, and will not be described herein.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the steps of step S603 and step S604 are only for convenience of description, and are not used to limit the execution sequence of the two. Step S603 and step S604 are both an optional implementation step. If step S603 is performed first, step S604 is not required to be performed since the thumbnail progress bar is disappeared. If step S604 is performed before step S603 is performed, in the progress of the progress adjustment operation, in response to the sliding operation of the playing interface in the second direction, the thumbnail progress bar is not displayed, and step S605 is not required to be performed.

For example, with continued reference to fig. 7 and 8, in response to the stay time of the progress adjustment operation at any one of the play progress reaches a first preset time, the terminal replaces the plurality of first thumbnails on the thumbnail progress bar with the plurality of second thumbnails. Accordingly, when rapid movement of the thumbnail progress bar on which the second thumbnail is displayed is not detected, the plurality of second thumbnails on the thumbnail progress bar are replaced with the plurality of first thumbnails. And responding to the sliding operation of the playing interface or the triggering operation of the displayed video frame, the terminal cancels the display of the thumbnail progress bar, and continues to play the video by taking the displayed video frame as a playing starting point.

In step S605, in response to the progress adjustment operation on the thumbnail progress bar, the terminal continues to play the video with the play progress corresponding to the progress adjustment operation as the play start point.

In this embodiment, the progress adjustment operation corresponds to a play progress, that is, a play progress corresponding to a video frame displayed on the play interface. In the embodiment of the present application, step S605 is the same as step S305, and will not be described herein.

It should be noted that, before step S605, step S604 is an optional execution step, that is, after step S602 is executed, step S605 may be directly executed. Alternatively, after step S602 is performed, step S604 is performed, and step S605 is performed again, that is, step S604 is performed before step S605. Accordingly, the progress adjustment operations in step S604 and step S605 are the same progress adjustment operation, which does not need to be repeatedly performed.

In the embodiment, through integrating the thumbnail progress bar and the thumbnail corresponding to the current drag progress, the condition that the whole video has the expected progress is realized, namely, the progress of the user dragging, the watched video progress and the unviewed video progress are provided through the video progress bar, so that the user can quickly adjust the position to be watched, and the interaction efficiency and the accuracy of progress adjustment are improved. And the enlarged view of the target thumbnail is also displayed on the playing interface, or the video frame corresponding to the adjusted progress is displayed on the playing interface, namely, the target thumbnail is displayed through the gesture operation of the user, so that the target thumbnail is prevented from being blocked, and the user can accurately know the video content at any time point.

In addition, in the embodiment, in the process of the progress adjustment operation, the user stays on any playing progress for a longer time, and enters a precise adjustment mode, namely, more continuous thumbnails are displayed, so that precise adjustment of the video playing progress can be realized.

By the method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the video progress adjustment is more expected and more accurate, namely, the user can more easily adjust to the expected progress for watching rather than exiting the video by integrating the expected progress dragging and the accurate progress adjustment, so that the watching duration of a single video can be increased. And, moreover, the method comprises the steps of. As the viewing time of a single video increases, the use time of the up-and-down slide player used by the terminal also increases.
