At present, when a browser opens a hyperlink in a current tab page, the browser may open the current tab page or a new tab page. In the related art, when a new tab page is opened in the background, if the web page content pointed by the hyperlink contains media resources such as audio and video resources and the browser is set to automatically play the audio and video resources, the browser automatically loads and plays the media resources in the new tab page opened in the background. However, the user may still browse the web page content in the current tab page, and if the media resource in the new background tab page is played at this time, a certain disturbance may be caused to the user. In order to solve the above problem, the present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for controlling a browser to play a media resource.

The following first introduces a method for controlling a browser to play a media asset provided by the present disclosure.

It should be noted that the method provided by the present disclosure is applicable to an electronic device, and in practical applications, the electronic device may include: a mobile terminal such as a smart phone and a tablet computer, or a computer device such as a computer and a desktop computer.

As shown in fig. 1A, fig. 1A is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a browser to play a media asset according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, which may include the following steps:

in step 101, it is determined whether a target hyperlink satisfies a set condition, where the target hyperlink is a clicked hyperlink in a current tab page of a browser, and the set condition includes: the browser opens a target hyperlink in a new tab page in the background, and the content of the webpage pointed by the target hyperlink contains a media resource, wherein the media resource comprises: audio or video resources.

In the disclosed embodiment, the hyperlink is essentially a part of a web page, and is an element for allowing connection between the current web page and other web pages or sites.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, there may be multiple hyperlinks in the current tab page of the browser, and for the sake of convenience of distinction, the clicked hyperlink in the current tab page of the browser is referred to as the target hyperlink.

The method for opening the hyperlink in the current tab page by the browser comprises the following steps: opening at the current tab page and opening at the new tab page; when a new tab page is opened, the new tab page can be opened in the foreground or in the background, and if the new tab page is opened in the background, the page currently displayed by the browser is still the tab page containing the hyperlink.

For example, when a user clicks a hyperlink in the current tab page, the foreground opens to jump to a new tab page immediately; and if the background is opened, the new tab page is still left in the current tab page, and the new tab page is opened in the background and can be checked only by switching the tab page by the user.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the browser may use a related JavaScript command in related technologies to determine whether the opening mode of the target hyperlink is a background opening, determine whether the browser is preset to automatically play the audio and video resources in the web page at the background, and determine whether the content of the web page pointed by the target hyperlink contains the audio and video resources, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, if it is determined that the browser opens the target hyperlink in the new tag of the background, and the content of the webpage pointed by the target hyperlink contains media resources such as audio and video, it is determined that the target hyperlink meets the set condition.

In step 102, when the target hyperlink satisfies a set condition, the browser is controlled to prohibit automatic playing of the media resource in the webpage content pointed by the target hyperlink.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when it is determined that the browser is preset to automatically play media resources such as audio and video in the web page in the background, the browser may be prohibited from loading the media resources in the content of the web page to which the target hyperlink points, and since the browser does not load the media resources to which the target hyperlink points, the browser cannot play the media resources to which the target hyperlink in the new tab page in the background points.

In an exemplary application scenario, as shown in fig. 1B, 1C and 1D, fig. 1B is a window of a browser, a current tab page in the window is "tab page 1", and a web page of the current tab page "tab page 1" includes picture content and a hyperlink "http:// www.iqiyi.com/v _19rr9nbp7 c.html". Thereafter, the user clicks on the hyperlink "http:// www.iqiyi.com/v _19rr9nbp 7c.html" in "Tab Page 1", as shown in FIG. 1C. Then, the browser opens the hyperlink "http:// www.iqiyi.com/v _19rr9nbp 7c.html", as shown in fig. 1D, opens the web page content corresponding to the hyperlink in the background new tab page "tab page 2", and controls the browser to prohibit the playing of the audio and video resources in the "tab page 2".

As can be seen from the foregoing embodiment, in the embodiment, whether the browser is controlled to automatically play the media resource pointed by the hyperlink can be determined by determining whether the browser opens the hyperlink in the new tab page in the background, and when the browser opens the hyperlink in the new tab page in the background, the browser is controlled to prohibit the automatic playing of the media resource pointed by the hyperlink, so as to avoid disturbing the user.

In another embodiment provided by the present disclosure, which may be based on the embodiment shown in fig. 1A, step 102 in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following steps:

s10, controlling the browser to load the media resource in the webpage content pointed by the target hyperlink.

And S20, controlling the browser to prohibit playing the media resources in the webpage content pointed by the target hyperlink loaded by the browser.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, after the browser opens the target hyperlink in the background new tag page, media resources such as audio and video in the webpage content pointed by the target hyperlink can be loaded in the background new tag page, so that when the media resources such as audio and video pointed by the target hyperlink need to be played, the browser can directly play the cached media resources such as audio and video without consuming extra loading time.

Although the browser loads the media resource pointed by the target hyperlink, since any play prohibition technology in the related technologies can be adopted in the embodiment of the present disclosure to prohibit the browser from playing the loaded media resource, the browser can be prevented from playing the media resource pointed by the target hyperlink in a new tab page in the background, thereby avoiding disturbing the user.

As shown in fig. 2A, fig. 2A is a flowchart illustrating another method for controlling a browser to play a media resource according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, where a new tab page of an open target hyperlink is switched from background to foreground, the method may include the following steps:

in step 201, it is determined whether a target hyperlink satisfies a set condition, where the target hyperlink is a clicked hyperlink in a current tab page of the browser, and the set condition includes: the browser opens a target hyperlink in a new tab page in the background, and the content of the webpage pointed by the target hyperlink contains a media resource, wherein the media resource comprises: audio or video resources.

In step 202, when the target hyperlink satisfies the set condition, the browser is controlled to load the media resource in the webpage content pointed by the target hyperlink.

In step 203, the browser is controlled to prohibit playing the media resource in the web page content pointed by the target hyperlink loaded by the browser.

In step 204, when it is detected that the new tab page of the opened target hyperlink is switched from the background to the foreground, the browser is controlled to automatically play the media resource in the webpage content pointed by the target hyperlink.

It can be understood that, in general, a foreground tab page is a page that a user is browsing or is ready to browse, and in this case, when a new tab page for opening a target hyperlink is switched from a background to a foreground, the browser can be controlled to automatically play media resources such as audio and video cached by the browser, and the browser can automatically play the media resources in the web page content pointed by the target hyperlink for the user without making an additional play triggering operation by the user.

In an exemplary application scenario, as shown in fig. 1B, 1C, 1D and 2B, fig. 1B is a window of a browser, a current tab page in the window is "tab page 1", and a web page of the current tab page "tab page 1" includes picture content and a hyperlink "http:// www.iqiyi.com/v _19 rrnbp 7 c.html". Thereafter, the user clicks on the hyperlink "http:// www.iqiyi.com/v _19rr9nbp 7c.html" in "Tab Page 1", as shown in FIG. 1C. Then, the browser opens the hyperlink "http:// www.iqiyi.com/v _19rr9nbp 7c.html", as shown in fig. 1D, after the browser opens the web page content corresponding to the hyperlink in the background new tab page "tab page 2", the browser loads the audio and video resources in the tab page 2 ", and simultaneously prohibits the browser from playing the loaded audio and video resources in the tab page 2". When the tab page 2 of the open hyperlink is switched to the foreground, the browser automatically plays the video rouge loaded in the tab page 2.

The embodiment can automatically play the cached media resources such as audio and video and the like when the new label page of the opened target hyperlink is switched from the background to the foreground, and the user does not need to make additional play triggering operation.

As shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating another method for controlling a browser to play a media resource according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, where a new tab page of an open target hyperlink is switched from a foreground to a background, the method may include the following steps:

in step 301, it is determined whether a target hyperlink satisfies a set condition, where the target hyperlink is a clicked hyperlink in a current tab page of the browser, and the set condition includes: the browser opens a target hyperlink in a new tab page in the background, and the content of the webpage pointed by the target hyperlink contains a media resource, wherein the media resource comprises: audio or video resources.

In step 302, when the target hyperlink satisfies the set condition, the browser is controlled to load the media resource in the webpage content pointed by the target hyperlink.

In step 303, the browser is controlled to prohibit playing the media resource in the web page content pointed to by the target hyperlink loaded by the browser.

In step 304, when it is detected that the new tab page of the opened target hyperlink is switched from the background to the foreground, the browser is controlled to automatically play the media resource in the webpage content pointed by the target hyperlink.

Under the normal condition, a foreground label page is a page which is browsed or prepared to be browsed by a user, and in this condition, when a new label page for opening a target hyperlink is switched from a background to a foreground, a browser can be controlled to automatically play media resources such as audio and video cached by the browser, so that the user does not need to make extra play triggering operation, and the browser can automatically play the media resources in the webpage content pointed by the target hyperlink for the user.

In step 305, when detecting that the new tab page of the open target hyperlink is switched from the foreground to the background, controlling the browser to pause playing the media resource in the webpage content pointed by the target hyperlink.

It can be understood that, in general, the web page content in the background tab page is content that the user does not pay attention to temporarily, and in this case, in order to avoid that media resources such as audio and video playing in the background tab page disturb the user, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the browser may pause playing the media resources such as audio and video in the background tab page.

According to the embodiment, when the new label page for opening the target hyperlink is switched from the foreground to the background, the playing of the media resources such as audio and video in the background label page can be suspended, so that the disturbance of the user caused by the playing of the media resources such as audio and video in the background label page is avoided.

In another embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the embodiment may be based on the embodiment shown in fig. 3, and the method may further include the following steps:

As can be seen from the above embodiments, in the embodiments, after the playing of media resources such as audio and video in the background tab page is paused, the paused playing situation can be reminded to the user in the current tab page, so that the user can learn the situation in time.

It should be noted that while the operations of the disclosed methods are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this does not require or imply that these operations must be performed in this particular order, or that all of the illustrated operations must be performed, to achieve desirable results.
