Up to this point, mobile terminals have been described in terms of their functionality. Hereinafter, a slide-type mobile terminal among various types of mobile terminals, such as a folder-type, bar-type, swing-type, slide-type mobile terminal, and the like, will be described as an example for the sake of brevity. Accordingly, the present invention can be applied to any type of mobile terminal, and is not limited to a slide type mobile terminal.

The mobile terminal 100 as shown in fig. 1 may be configured to operate with communication systems such as wired and wireless communication systems and satellite-based communication systems that transmit data via frames or packets.

A communication system in which a mobile terminal according to the present invention is operable will now be described with reference to fig. 2.

Such communication systems may use different air interfaces and/or physical layers. For example, the air interface used by the communication system includes, for example, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) (in particular, Long Term Evolution (LTE)), global system for mobile communications (GSM), and the like. By way of non-limiting example, the following description relates to a CDMA communication system, but such teachings are equally applicable to other types of systems.

Referring to fig. 2, the CDMA wireless communication system may include a plurality of mobile terminals 100, a plurality of Base Stations (BSs) 270, Base Station Controllers (BSCs) 275, and a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 280. The MSC280 is configured to interface with a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) 290. The MSC280 is also configured to interface with a BSC275, which may be coupled to the base station 270 via a backhaul. The backhaul may be constructed according to any of several known interfaces including, for example, E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. It will be understood that a system as shown in fig. 2 may include multiple BSCs 275. In fig. 2, a plurality of satellites 300 are depicted, but it is understood that useful positioning information may be obtained with any number of satellites.

Based on the above mobile terminal hardware structure and communication system, the present invention provides various embodiments of the method.

The first embodiment,

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling output of multimedia information, as shown in fig. 3, including:

step 301: providing an information list interface through a first application, and judging whether a playing control instruction of target multimedia information in the information list interface of the first application is detected or not;

step 302: if a playing control instruction for target multimedia information in the signal list interface of the first application is detected, acquiring the target multimedia information; the information list interface is used for displaying prompt information of multimedia information and a playing area of the prompt information; the target multimedia information is one of the multimedia information;

step 303: and determining a playing mode of the target multimedia information based on the playing control instruction, so that the first application outputs the target multimedia information based on the playing mode.

Here, the first application may be any application capable of providing a multimedia information playing function, for example, a wechat application, a microblog application, a news application, etc., and the above is merely an example and does not represent all embodiments of the first application.

The information list interface can refer to fig. 4, and it can be seen that one information list interface can provide a plurality of playing areas of video information and corresponding prompt information, for example, there are a video i, a video ii, and a video iii in the list shown in the figure, and these three videos respectively correspond to the

respective playing areas

41, 42, and 43; in addition, the prompt message of the multimedia message may at least include a title of the multimedia message, and further may include an abstract prompt of the multimedia message, for example, in fig. 4, "video one" is displayed above the playing area as the name of the first video message, i.e., the prompt message of the video message.

In this embodiment, the detecting of the play control instruction for the target multimedia information in the information list interface of the first application may be that when a click operation for a play area of any one piece of multimedia information in the information list interface of the first application is detected, the multimedia information is used as the target multimedia information, and the play control instruction for the target multimedia information is determined to be detected.

Here, it should be further explained that, when a click operation on a prompt message of any multimedia message in the message list interface of the first application is detected, the multimedia message is used as a target multimedia message, whether the prompt has corresponding extension information is determined, and if yes, the next-level message list interface associated with the prompt message of the multimedia message is entered; and if not, the click operation is also used as a play control instruction for determining and detecting the target multimedia information.

The multimedia information provided by the information list interface at the next level has a correlation with the target multimedia information, and the correlation may be a plurality of preset multimedia information of related types, specifically may be the same type of multimedia information, and may also be the multimedia information of the same publisher, which is not exhaustive here. For example, referring to fig. 5, when the prompt message "video one" is clicked, it may be determined that "video one" is a video of the type of comedy movies, and then an information list interface at the next level corresponding to video one is entered, which may be as shown in the right side of the figure, and besides providing a play area 50 corresponding to video one, a list composed of a plurality of videos of the same type as video one, such as video 1 to video 3, may also be provided.

In this embodiment, the acquiring the target multimedia information may be: selecting from a local storage module of the mobile terminal according to the prompt message of the target media message; alternatively, it may be: sending the prompt information of the target multimedia information to a network side, receiving the target multimedia information found by the network side according to the prompt information of the target multimedia information, for example, referring to fig. 6, a user clicks a video two provided in a display interface of a mobile phone, the prompt information of the video two is sent to a server, the server finds a video file of the specific video two corresponding to the prompt information, and sends the video file of the video two to the mobile phone.

The operation of determining the playing mode of the target multimedia information and controlling the first application to output the target multimedia information is transferred to the playing control module for execution.

It should be further noted that, the switching of the play mode is also determined by the play control module, and specifically, the method further includes: the playing control module determines a playing mode switching instruction, switches the playing mode based on the playing mode switching instruction, and controls the first application to output the target multimedia information in the switched playing mode.

That is, the target multimedia information is determined to be output, and an initial play mode is provided, and once the user performs a gesture operation or performs a gesture adjustment on the mobile terminal, whether to adjust the play mode of the target multimedia information may be determined, so that the target multimedia information is output in the adjusted play mode.

That is, by implementing the above scheme, the display styles of different pages, such as live broadcast pages, on-demand pages and the like, can be different, and some pages need special customization styles. Based on the requirements, a playing manager is packaged, switching of various modes can be processed, and different styles can be customized.

Therefore, by adopting the scheme, after the first application selects the target multimedia information to be output, the play control module determines the play mode of the target multimedia information and finally controls the target multimedia information to be output through the first application. Therefore, the management of outputting target multimedia information can be uniformly performed by the playing control module, the operations of determining and controlling different pages and different playing modes by the application are avoided, the coupling degree between the playing control module and the application is reduced, and the control of the player is more flexible.

Example II,

Based on the scenario provided by the first embodiment, the present embodiment focuses on how to specifically perform the processing of the play control by the play control module.

Firstly, when a target multimedia message is selected for the first time, the play control module determines the play mode of the target multimedia message at least based on the play control instruction, and the method includes:

when the playing control instruction is an operation of a playing area of target multimedia information in the information list interface of the first application and the mobile terminal is in a first posture, determining that the playing mode of the target multimedia information is a first playing mode;

the first gesture represents that an included angle between a shorter edge in a display area of the mobile terminal and a horizontal line is smaller than a first preset value; and the first play mode representation takes a play area of the target multimedia information in the information list interface as an output area to output the target multimedia information, and the play area is smaller than a display area of the mobile terminal.

As can be seen from the above description, the determination of the first play mode is also related to the posture of the mobile terminal. In the description of the first posture, refer to fig. 5 or 6, where the first posture may be a vertical screen posture, that is, an included angle between a shorter side of the display area and the horizontal line is smaller than a first preset value.

The first play mode representation takes a play area of the target multimedia information in the information list interface as an output area to output the target multimedia information, and the play area is smaller than a display area of the mobile terminal, specifically, referring to fig. 7, a play area 70 corresponding to a "video one" in the information list interface is originally used, and when it is determined that the video one adopts the first play mode, the play area 70 is controlled to be taken as the output area and play the video one.

Therefore, a processing flow for selecting and initially playing a video is completed, and it can be understood that a user generally performs more operations, may have an adjustment for a posture of the mobile terminal, and may further include operations such as operating a control key for a video screen to perform adjustment for video output, and the operations may involve an operation of switching a playing mode, and the scheme provided in this embodiment is also uniformly controlled by the playing control module, specifically as follows:

the determining of the play mode switching instruction includes:

when the mobile terminal is switched from the first posture to a second posture, generating a second play mode switching instruction, wherein the second play mode switching instruction is used for instructing a first application to play the target multimedia information in a second play mode;

the second gesture represents that an included angle between a longer edge in a display area of the mobile terminal and a horizontal line is smaller than a first preset value; and the second play mode represents that all display areas of the mobile terminal are used as output areas of the target multimedia information to output the target multimedia information.

In the above-described scenario, the play mode is switched based on the gesture of the mobile terminal, the second gesture may specifically be a horizontal screen gesture, and specifically, referring to fig. 8, when it is detected that the user moves the mobile phone horizontally, it is determined that the mobile phone is in the second gesture, at this time, it may be determined that the play mode needs to be switched, that is, all display areas 80 of the mobile terminal are used as output areas of the target multimedia information, that is, a full screen mode.

It should be understood that, when it is detected that the mobile terminal is switched back from the second posture to the first posture, the play control module determines to generate a first play mode switching instruction, where the first play mode switching instruction is an instruction for controlling the mobile terminal to output the target multimedia information in the first play mode. For gesture detection and command generation, reference may be made to the foregoing description, and details are not repeated here.

In addition, regarding the control manner for switching from the first play mode to the second play mode or switching from the second play mode back to the first play mode, the method may further include the following scenarios, and the method further includes:

when the first application outputs the target multimedia information, at least one control key is displayed in an output area of the target multimedia information; the triggering mode for displaying the at least one control key can be that click operation in the output area is detected; in addition, the arrangement mode of at least one control key can be preset according to actual conditions, the same control key can be adopted in each play mode, and different control keys can also be adopted in different play modes; it should be further noted that, besides the control key, other display information may be additionally provided, for example, when the "bullet screen" is turned on, a superimposed display layer may be provided on the output area to display the bullet screen.

Or,

when the first application outputs the target multimedia information, controlling to display at least one control key in an output area of the target multimedia information based on the corresponding relation between a preset playing mode and a control key style; the difference from the above is that the playing mode and the style of the control key have a preset corresponding relationship, which can be set for a user to start the playing control module or a default corresponding relationship of the system; furthermore, the style of the control key can be related to the type of the video, for example, a "barrage" function key can be additionally arranged on the live video. For example, referring to fig. 9, the left side of the figure is a live video full screen mode, the lower side of the figure is provided with a "barrage" function control key, the right side of the figure is a non-live video full screen mode, and the lower side of the figure is not provided with a barrage function control key. Of course, the above description is merely an example, and is not limited to a specific arrangement manner in actual processing.

Determining a play mode switching instruction, comprising: and when the control key detects that the adjustment operation is performed on the playing area, determining to generate a playing mode switching instruction based on the adjustment operation on the playing area.

For example, when the first play mode is performed, when a click operation for a "full screen" function key in the output area is detected, it is determined that an adjustment operation for the play area is detected, and a second play mode switching instruction is determined to be generated based on the operation; on the contrary, when the second play mode is in, and the click of the 'small screen' function key in the output area is detected, the first play mode switching instruction is determined to be generated. It should be noted that the generation of the switching command is completed by the play control module.

Further, besides the switching between the first playing mode and the second playing mode, there may also be switching between the first playing mode and a third playing mode, specifically, the determining, by the playing control module, a playing mode switching instruction includes:

when the operation is performed on the information list interface, so that the playing area corresponding to the target multimedia information is not in the display area of the mobile terminal, the playing control module determines to generate a third playing mode switching instruction, wherein the third playing mode switching instruction is used for indicating the first application to output the target multimedia information in a third playing mode;

wherein the third play mode represents a preset area at a preset position of the mobile terminal as an output area of the target multimedia information to output the target multimedia information.

The preset area may be an area set according to an actual situation, for example, referring to fig. 10, a lower right corner of a display area of the mobile terminal may be used as the preset area. The specific size may also be set according to actual conditions, and will not be described herein.

The above-mentioned detection of the operation performed on the information list interface may be a pull-down or pull-up operation of the information list interface; for example, referring to fig. 12, the information list interface is pulled down or pulled up, and the information list interface obtained after the pulling up or pulling down operation is different from the previous one, that is, the updated information list interface is displayed as the current information list interface.

The method further comprises the following steps: and detecting whether the target multimedia information is played completely, if so, selecting next multimedia information from an information list corresponding to the current information list interface as the target multimedia information, determining the playing mode of the target multimedia information after re-selection and controlling the output of the target multimedia information. The information list is an information list formed by specific multimedia information in an information list interface. Further, when the target multimedia information does not have the next multimedia information, the play mode can be determined to exit, and only the information list interface is displayed.

The method further comprises the following steps: and detecting the playing state information, and displaying the playing state information in the output area. The playing state information may be used to characterize the playing state of the player, such as state information of buffer failure, buffer progress, and the like.

It is seen that some video lists can be played on the card of the list, and when the current page is left, or the list slides, the player moves out of the screen, and becomes a small window, and when the mobile phone is rotated to become a horizontal screen, the full screen playing is changed. The player is likely to involve many pages.

The playing module is used for completing interaction with an interface by a playing management module, all playing functions and logics are packaged in the playing management module, a main interface provided by the playing management module is used for playing a video, switching between a small window and a normal mode, setting the mute of the player, hiding and displaying the small window, pausing playing, closing playing and the like. The functions provided by the player in the manager include pause, start playing, close playing, jump to a certain moment playing and other basic playing functions, and also include switching of three modes, namely a small window mode, a full screen mode and a common mode, and display of player controls corresponding to the three modes. The realization mode is that when a user sends a playing instruction and the player starts playing, the three types of views are completely initialized, and when data is updated, the three types of views are updated simultaneously, so that the playing mode can be switched smoothly without non-uniformity.

The method comprises the steps of directly sending some states of a player by using event notification, subscribing the notifications in a view, and responding by receiving a message, for example, sending a message when the player plays half of a video in a video list, and requesting a video related to the message to be inserted into the video list when the video list receives the message.

Fig. 11 is an implementation structure diagram provided in this embodiment, fig. 12 is a specific implementation flow of this embodiment, and with reference to fig. 11 and fig. 12, it can be seen that when a user clicks a play button on an interface, an interface provided by a player manager is called, and playing is divided into two types, one type is live broadcast, one type is on-demand broadcast, the live broadcast has an interaction of a barrage, and on-demand broadcast only has a general player control, such as mute, progress bar, and switching of definition. When the screen rotates or directly clicks a button for switching a large screen of a playing window in the view, the playing of the normal mode is switched to the full-screen playing, and the layout of the control of the full-screen player is different from that of the normal mode. The two play modes can be switched back and forth, all controlled internally by the player. When the normal mode player is embedded in the list of the view, the normal mode play can be switched to the small window play when the list is slid, and the small window mode can be automatically converted into the normal mode play when the normal mode player is slid back to the original position. In another case, when several different views are switched, different logic exists, a small window is formed sometimes, and a player is closed sometimes, so that the logic is put into an interface view for more flexible management, and different views have different processing modes and are called back by the player. In any mode, there is a continuation of playing of the next video after one video is played.

Example III,

An embodiment of the present invention provides a mobile terminal, as shown in fig. 13, including:

a display module 1301, configured to provide an information list interface through a first application;

a processing module 1302, configured to determine whether a play control instruction for target multimedia information in an information list interface of the first application is detected; if a playing control instruction for target multimedia information in the signal list interface of the first application is detected, acquiring the target multimedia information; the information list interface is used for displaying prompt information of multimedia information and a playing area of the prompt information; the target multimedia information is one of the multimedia information;

and the play control module 1303 is configured to determine a play mode of the target multimedia information based on the play control instruction, so that the first application outputs the target multimedia information based on the play mode.

respective playing areas

It should be further noted that switching of the play mode is also determined by the play control module, specifically, the play control module 1303 is configured to determine a play mode switching instruction, switch the play mode based on the play mode switching instruction, and control the first application to output the target multimedia information in the switched play mode.

By implementing the scheme, different display styles of different pages, such as live broadcast pages, on-demand pages and other players, can be displayed, and some pages need special customization styles. Based on the requirements, a playing manager is packaged, switching of various modes can be processed, and different styles can be customized.

Example four,

On the basis of the scenario provided by the third embodiment, the present embodiment focuses on a detailed description of how to specifically perform the processing of the play control by the play control module.

Firstly, when a target multimedia information is selected for the first time, the play control module 1303 is configured to determine that a play mode of the target multimedia information is a first play mode when the play control module determines that the play control instruction is an operation for a play area of the target multimedia information in the information list interface of the first application and the mobile terminal is in a first posture;

As can be seen from the above description, the determination of the first play mode is also related to the posture of the mobile terminal. In the description of the first posture, refer to fig. 7, where the first posture may be a vertical screen posture, that is, an included angle between a shorter side of the display area and the horizontal line is smaller than a first preset value.

The first play mode representation takes a play area of the target multimedia information in the information list interface as an output area to output the target multimedia information, and the play area is smaller than a display area of the mobile terminal, specifically, referring to fig. 8, a play area 80 corresponding to a "video one" in the information list interface is originally used, and when it is determined that the video one adopts the first play mode, the play area 80 is controlled to be taken as the output area and play the video one.

the play control module 1303 is configured to determine to generate a second play mode switching instruction when the mobile terminal is switched from the first posture to the second posture, where the second play mode switching instruction is used to instruct the first application to play the target multimedia information in a second play mode;

In the above-described scenario, the play mode is switched based on the gesture of the mobile terminal, the second gesture may specifically be a landscape gesture, specifically referring to fig. 9, when it is detected that the user moves the mobile phone sideways (i.e., when the state shown in fig. 8 is converted into the state shown in fig. 9), it is determined that the mobile phone is in the second gesture, and at this time, it may be determined that the play mode needs to be switched, that is, all display areas of the mobile terminal are used as the output area of the target multimedia information, that is, the full-screen mode.

In addition, regarding the control mode of switching from the first play mode to the second play mode or switching from the second play mode back to the first play mode, the method may further include a scenario where the play control module 1303 is configured to display at least one control key in an output area of the target multimedia information when the first application outputs the target multimedia information; the triggering mode for displaying the at least one control key can be that click operation in the output area is detected; in addition, the arrangement mode of at least one control key can be preset according to actual conditions, the same control key can be adopted in each play mode, and different control keys can also be adopted in different play modes; it should be further noted that, besides the control key, other display information may be additionally provided, for example, when the "bullet screen" is turned on, a superimposed display layer may be provided on the output area to display the bullet screen.

Or,

the playing control module 1303 is configured to control display of at least one control key in an output area of the target multimedia information based on a corresponding relationship between a preset playing mode and a control key style when the target multimedia information is output by the first application; the difference from the above is that the playing mode and the style of the control key have a preset corresponding relationship, which can be set for a user to start the playing control module or a default corresponding relationship of the system; furthermore, the style of the control key can be related to the type of the video, for example, a "barrage" function key can be additionally arranged on the live video. For example, referring to fig. 10, the left side of the figure is a live video full screen mode, the lower side of the figure is provided with a "barrage" function control key, the right side of the figure is a non-live video full screen mode, and the lower side of the figure is not provided with a barrage function control key. Of course, the above description is merely an example, and is not limited to a specific arrangement manner in actual processing.

The playing control module determines a playing mode switching instruction, including: when the control key detects that the adjustment operation is performed on the playing area, the playing control module determines to generate a playing mode switching instruction based on the adjustment operation on the playing area.

the play control module 1303 is configured to determine to generate a third play mode switching instruction when detecting that an operation is performed on the information list interface so that a play area corresponding to the target multimedia information is not located in a display area of the mobile terminal, where the third play mode switching instruction is used to instruct the first application to output the target multimedia information in a third play mode;

The preset area may be an area set according to an actual situation, for example, referring to fig. 11, a lower right corner of a display area of the mobile terminal may be used as the preset area. The specific size may also be set according to actual conditions, and will not be described herein.

The method further comprises the following steps: and the playing control module detects whether the target multimedia information is played completely, and if the target multimedia information is played completely, next multimedia information is selected from an information list corresponding to the current information list interface to serve as the target multimedia information, the playing mode of the target multimedia information after being selected again is determined, and the target multimedia information is controlled to be output. The information list is an information list formed by specific multimedia information in an information list interface. Further, when the target multimedia information does not have the next multimedia information, the play mode can be determined to exit, and only the information list interface is displayed.

The method further comprises the following steps: the playing control module detects playing state information and displays the playing state information in the output area. The playing state information may be used to characterize the playing state of the player, such as state information of buffer failure, buffer progress, and the like.

Fig. 12 is an implementation structure diagram provided in this embodiment, fig. 13 is a specific implementation flow of this embodiment, and with reference to fig. 12 and fig. 13, it can be seen that when a user clicks a play button on an interface, an interface provided by a player manager is called, and playing is divided into two types, one type is live broadcast, one type is on-demand broadcast, the live broadcast has an interaction of a barrage, and on-demand broadcast only has a general player control, such as mute, progress bar, and switching of definition. When the screen rotates or directly clicks a button for switching a large screen of a playing window in the view, the playing of the normal mode is switched to the full-screen playing, and the layout of the control of the full-screen player is different from that of the normal mode. The two play modes can be switched back and forth, all controlled internally by the player. When the normal mode player is embedded in the list of the view, the normal mode play can be switched to the small window play when the list is slid, and the small window mode can be automatically converted into the normal mode play when the normal mode player is slid back to the original position. In another case, when several different views are switched, different logic exists, a small window is formed sometimes, and a player is closed sometimes, so that the logic is put into an interface view for more flexible management, and different views have different processing modes and are called back by the player. In any mode, there is a continuation of playing of the next video after one video is played.
