In step S11, the image-text information corresponding to the video played in the video playing interface is obtained, where the image-text information includes one or both of characters and pictures.
In a possible implementation manner, the image-text information corresponding to the video played in the video playing interface may be obtained under the condition that the video played in the video playing interface belongs to the video of the information category. The information category video may include one or more of a news category video, a technical category video, an academic category video, a policy category video, and the like.
It should be noted that although the implementation introduces the information category video in one or more of a news category video, a technical category video, an academic category video, a policy category video, and the like, those skilled in the art can understand that the disclosure should not be limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific type of the video of the information class according to the actual application scene requirements and/or personal preferences.
In a possible implementation manner, the graphic and text information corresponding to the video played in the video playing interface may be an information article corresponding to the video, for example, a news article corresponding to the video.
In step S12, in the case that the first operation is detected in the video playing interface, the teletext information is presented.
In one possible implementation, the first operation may be a sliding operation in which a sliding distance to the first direction is greater than a first threshold. For example, the first direction is horizontally to the left.
In another possible implementation, the first operation may be a sliding operation in which a sliding speed to the first direction is greater than a second threshold.
As an example of this implementation, the first operation may be a slide operation in which a slide speed in the first direction at the moment of sliding off the screen is greater than a second threshold value.
