Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The embodiment of the invention provides a method for sequencing multimedia files, which takes the inherent playing sequence in the names of the multimedia files into consideration when the method provided by the embodiment of the invention is adopted to sequence the multimedia files, avoids the problem of sequencing errors caused by disordering the inherent sequence of the multimedia files, can realize the correct sequencing of the multimedia files and ensures that the user experience is better.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the multimedia file may be a song file, a video file, an audio file, or the like.

The method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to mobile terminals, such as mobile phones, tablet computers and the like, and can also be applied to servers.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a first method of a method for ordering multimedia files according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method shown in fig. 1 at least includes the following steps:

s102, responding to a sorting request of a user, and obtaining the name of the multimedia file to be sorted.

The execution subject of the multimedia file ordering method provided by the embodiment of the invention is a multimedia file ordering device.

When a user plays multimedia files by using an application program installed on the mobile terminal, the multimedia files in the play list can be sorted according to requirements, and the multimedia files are played according to the sorted order. For example, the user may choose to sort the multimedia files by name. In a specific embodiment, after the user opens a certain application program, the user can directly send a sorting request by clicking "play by multimedia file name", as shown in fig. 2(a), and then sort the multimedia files by the multimedia file sorting device and then play the multimedia files in the sorted order.

Or, on the page displaying the play multimedia file list, the user may directly send a sorting request by clicking "sort by multimedia file name", as shown in fig. 2(b), at this time, the multimedia file sorting device sorts the multimedia files and displays the sorted multimedia file list, and then, the user plays the multimedia files in the sorted order by clicking the "play" button.

If the method provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to the mobile terminal, correspondingly, the multimedia file sorting device is also applied to the mobile terminal, and after the multimedia file sorting device receives a sorting request sent by a user, the name of each multimedia file to be sorted in the multimedia file list played on the current page is obtained. If the multimedia files in the current play list are the multimedia files stored on the local of the mobile terminal, the names of the multimedia files to be played in the play list can be obtained directly from the mobile terminal; and if the multimedia files in the current play list belong to the online play multimedia files, the mobile terminal acquires the names of the multimedia files to be played in the play list from the server.

If the method provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to a server and correspondingly, the multimedia file sorting device is also applied to the server, after the mobile terminal receives a sorting request input by a user, the sorting request is sent to the server, so that the multimedia file sorting device installed on the server obtains the name of the multimedia file to be sorted according to the sorting request.

S104, determining characters and a first character sequence which represent the playing sequence in the name; the first character sequence is a character except for the character representing the playing sequence in the name.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned characters representing the playing order may be characters such as "1", "2", "3", "one", "two", "front", "rear", "up", "middle", "down", etc. in the multimedia file name.

In order to facilitate understanding of the characters and the first character sequence characterizing the playing order in the multimedia file name, the following description will be made by way of example.

For example, if the name of the obtained multimedia file to be sorted is "mr. liu album second part", the character representing the playing sequence in the name of the multimedia file is "second", and the first character sequence is "mr. liu album first part"; if the name of the obtained multimedia file to be sequenced is 'Mr. Singer concert 2', the character representing the playing sequence in the name of the multimedia file is '2', and the first character sequence is 'Mr. Singer concert'.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, determining the characters and the first character sequence representing the playing sequence in the name of the obtained multimedia file specifically includes the following steps (1) and (2):

(1) and matching the name with a pre-established playing sequence character list to obtain characters representing the playing sequence in the name.

Generally, the pre-established playlist is stored in the server, so that the method provided in the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the mobile terminal. The play order character list needs to be obtained from the server when determining the character and the first character sequence in the name that characterize the play order. If the method provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to the server, after the name of the multimedia file to be sequenced is obtained, the name is directly matched with a pre-established playing sequence character list stored on the server.

Various characters for representing the playing sequence are stored in the pre-established playing sequence character list, so in the embodiment of the present invention, the characters for representing the playing sequence in the name of each multimedia file to be sorted can be determined through step (1). Specifically, in step (1), when the name is matched with the play order character list, each character in the name may be matched with the play order character list, and whether the character exists in the play order character list is searched for, and if the character exists, it is determined that the character belongs to a character representing a play order.

(2) The characters except for the character representing the playing order in the above names are determined as the first character sequence.

After the characters for representing the playing sequence in each multimedia file to be sequenced can be determined through the step (1), the characters for representing the playing sequence in the name of each multimedia file to be sequenced are removed, and the rest characters are the first character sequence.

In the embodiment of the invention, when the first character sequence is determined, only the characters representing the playing sequence in the name need to be directly removed, and compared with the original name, the sequence of each character in the first character sequence is unchanged. For example, the name of the multimedia file to be sorted is "mr. liu album third part", the characters representing the playing sequence in the name are "three", after the "three" is removed, the obtained first character sequence is "mr. liu album second part", that is, compared with the original name, the sequence of each character in the first character sequence is not changed.

In the embodiment of the invention, the characters for representing the playing sequence and the second character sequence in the name are determined by matching the name of the multimedia file to be sequenced with the pre-established playing sequence list, so that the operation is simple and convenient.

Since, when determining the characters and the first character sequence characterizing the playing order in the name of the multimedia file to be sorted in step S102, a pre-established playing order character list needs to be used. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, a play order character list needs to be established in advance. In one embodiment, the playlist may be created before the step S102 is executed.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, before the step S102 is executed, the method provided in the embodiment of the present invention further includes the following steps (a), (b), (c);

(a) acquiring characters representing a playing sequence, and determining the type of the acquired characters;

(b) grouping the acquired characters according to the types of the characters, and determining the sequence of the characters representing the playing sequence in each group;

(c) and establishing corresponding relation among each character representing the playing sequence, the group corresponding to the character and the sequence of the character in the group.

In the step (a), the characters input by the user may be obtained, or the characters representing the playing order may be collected from other web pages, application programs, and the like.

In the step (b), each type of characters is determined as a group, and the ordering of the characters in each group is determined according to the playing order of the characters. For example, Arabic numerals 1, 2 and 3 belong to one group, Chinese numerals one, two and three belong to one group, and the like.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the establishment of the correspondence relationship may be performed on the mobile terminal or the server. Regardless of whether the corresponding relationship is established on the mobile terminal or the server, the corresponding relationship obtained in the step (c) needs to be stored in the server in a form of a list, so as to obtain the play order character list in the embodiment of the present invention. A specific form of the play order character list is shown in table 1.

TABLE 1

Table 1 above lists only three types of characters representing the playing order, and there are other types of characters representing the playing order, and the characters representing the playing order are not limited thereto. For example, the characters "front", "middle", and "back" may also characterize the playing order.

S106, the multimedia files to be ordered are ordered according to the initial letters corresponding to the characters in the first character sequence and the characters representing the playing sequence.

In a specific embodiment, the multimedia files to be ordered may be ordered according to first letters corresponding to the characters in the first character sequence, and then the multimedia files to be ordered may be ordered secondarily according to the characters representing the playing order, where the step S106 specifically includes the following first step and second step:

step one, ordering the multimedia files to be ordered according to the first letters corresponding to the characters in the first character sequence to obtain a first multimedia file list.

Specifically, in the first step, the multimedia files to be sorted are sorted according to the order of the first letter corresponding to the character in the first character sequence in the alphabet.

In a specific embodiment, when ordering the multimedia files to be ordered according to the initials corresponding to the characters in the first character sequence, the initials corresponding to the first character in the first character sequence may be first obtained, the multimedia files to be ordered may be ordered according to the order of the initials corresponding to the first character in the alphabet, if the multimedia files to be ordered are encountered in which the initials corresponding to the first character are the same, the initials corresponding to the second character in the first character sequence may be obtained, the multimedia files to be ordered in which the initials corresponding to the first character are the same may be ordered according to the order of the initials corresponding to the second character in the alphabet, and so on, the first multimedia file list may be obtained.

And step two, sequencing the multimedia files to be sequenced of the first multimedia file list according to the sequencing of the characters representing the playing sequence to obtain a second multimedia file list.

The above-mentioned sequence of characters representing the playing order refers to the arrangement sequence of the characters themselves representing the playing order. For example, for the characters "up", "down", "middle" characterizing the playing order, the corresponding ordering is "up", "middle", "down".

And in the second step, the sequence of the multimedia files to be sequenced in the first multimedia file list is directly determined according to the sequence of the characters representing the playing sequence. However, a situation that the multimedia file to be sequenced includes multiple types of play sequence characters may be encountered, and different types of play sequence characters correspond to different multimedia files to be sequenced.

For example, the names of the multimedia files to be ordered are: "second part of mr. liu album", "mr. leisurely concert 2", "third part of mr. liu album", "mr. leisurely concert 1", "first part of mr. liu album"; the characters representing the playing sequence in the names are respectively 'two', '2', 'three', '1' and 'one', the '1' and '2' in the characters representing the playing sequence belong to Arabic numerals, and the 'one', 'two' and 'three' belong to Chinese numerals, so that the '1', '2' and 'one', 'two' and 'three' belong to different types, and correspond to different multimedia files, the '1' and '2' correspond to a 'Mr. concert', 'one', 'two' and 'three' correspond to a 'Mr. Liu album', and therefore the '1', '2' and 'one', 'two' and 'three' cannot be mixed together for sequencing.

Therefore, the second step specifically includes: grouping the characters representing the playing sequence according to the type of the characters representing the playing sequence; and sequencing the multimedia files to be sequenced in the first multimedia file list according to the sequencing of the characters representing the playing sequence in each group to obtain a second multimedia file list.

The types of characters generally include arabic numerals, chinese sequence phrases, etc., the chinese numerals referring to play order characters such as "one", "two", "three", etc., and the chinese sequence phrases referring to play order characters such as "up", "middle", "down", "front", "back", etc.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the characters representing the playing order may be grouped according to the type of the characters representing the playing order, or the characters representing the playing order may be directly compared with the pre-established playing order character list, so as to determine the group to which the characters representing the playing order belong.

In the second step, the multimedia files to be sorted corresponding to the characters representing the playing order are sorted according to the characters representing the playing order in each group, so as to obtain a first multimedia file list.

The specific process described above will be exemplified below.

For example, the names of the multimedia files to be sorted that need to be sorted are: "second part of mr. liu album", "mr. leisurely concert 2", "third part of mr. liu album", "mr. leisurely concert 10", "mr. leisurely concert 1", "first part of mr. liu album"; after characters representing the playing sequence in the names are removed, the obtained first character sequence corresponding to the multimedia file to be ordered sequentially is as follows: "mr. liu album first part", "mr. leucism concert", "mr. liu album first part"; the first multimedia file list obtained by sorting the multimedia files to be sorted according to the sequence of the first letters of the characters in the first character sequence in the alphabet is as follows: "mr. Liu album first part", "mr. blossoming concert", and "mr. blossoming concert".

The characters for representing the playing sequence in the multimedia file to be sorted are respectively as follows: the characters representing the playing sequence can be divided into two groups according to the types of the characters, wherein the characters of the second group, the characters of the third group, the characters of the first group, the characters of the second group, the characters of the third group and the characters of the first group belong to Chinese numbers, the characters of the first group belong to Arabic numbers, and the characters of the second group belong to Arabic numbers; the ordering of the characters representing the playing sequence in the first group is 'one', 'two' and 'three', and the ordering of the characters representing the playing sequence in the second group is '1', '2' and '10'; therefore, the first group of corresponding multimedia files to be sorted is sorted into the first part of the mr. liu album, the second part of the mr. liu album and the third part of the mr. liu album; the second group of corresponding multimedia files to be sorted is sorted into a Mr. Singer concert 1, a Mr. Singer concert 2 and a Mr. Singer concert 10. Since the "mr. liu album" is arranged before the "mr. liu concert" in the first multimedia file list, the multimedia files to be sorted are sorted into "first part of mr. liu album", "second part of mr. liu album", "third part of mr. liu album", "mr. liu concert 1", "mr. liu concert 2", and "mr. concert 10".

In the embodiment of the invention, the characters representing the playing sequence are grouped according to the type of each character representing the playing sequence, and the characters representing the playing sequence in each group are sequenced so as to determine the sequence of the multimedia file to be sequenced. The sequence of the multimedia files to be sequenced is more accurate, and the actual requirements of the user are better met, so that the user experience is better.

Since the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a mobile terminal and can also be applied to a server, the following describes the multimedia file sorting method provided by the embodiment of the present invention in detail by taking the above method applied to the mobile terminal and the server as an example.
