Referring to fig. 1, a flow diagram of one embodiment of a method of video transmission according to the present disclosure is shown. The video transmitting method is applied to terminal equipment. The video transmission method as shown in fig. 1 includes the following steps:

in response to detecting a predefined sharing operation in the first application, a target video and a target user identifier for the sharing operation are determined, step 110.

Here, the target video is stored in a target server, and the target user is identified in a correspondence list of the second application.

In some embodiments, the first application may be an application that plays a video and the target server may be used to store the video. That is, the video played by the first application may be stored in advance by the target server; when the first application needs to play the video, the corresponding video can be played only by acquiring the corresponding video from the target server.

In some embodiments, a user may want to share a video to a particular user/group chat while playing the video using a first application. Such as: the user may think the video is more interesting, may think the video is more positive in energy, etc.; at this time, the user may have a need to share out the video.

In some embodiments, a particular user/group chat (target user) may be in another application (second application), e.g., the second application may be a chat application. It should be noted here that the first application and the second application are two different applications; thus, a first account registered by a user at a first application may be different from a second account registered by the user at a second application. That is, the communication list corresponding to the first account of the user may be different from the communication list corresponding to the second account of the user. In this embodiment, the account corresponding to the target user is located in the communication list corresponding to the second account of the user.

That is, the embodiment of the present application is directed to a situation where a user views a certain video through a first application and wants to share the video with a target user in a second application (a certain contact or a certain group chat of the user in the second application). The common practice of the prior art for this is: downloading the video from the first application to the terminal device, then opening the second application through the terminal device, finding the identifier corresponding to the target user needing to be shared in the communication list of the second application, and then uploading the video to a server supporting the second application. Therefore, the whole process requires the user to download and upload the video, and the downloading and uploading of the video requires a large amount of time and flow, so that a large amount of time and communication resources of the user can be wasted, and the video sharing efficiency is reduced.

In the embodiment of the application, the target video to be sent and the target user to receive the video can be determined according to the predefined sharing operation on the current playing interface of the first application. After the target video and the target user are determined, the target video is sent to the target user by continuing to execute step 120.

In some embodiments, a target video and a target user are determined according to a predefined sharing operation; the method specifically comprises the following steps: when a user plays a certain video on a current playing interface of a first application, if the user wants to share the video, the user may perform a predefined sharing operation on the current playing interface, for example, "double-click operation" or "long-press operation", or perform "double-click operation" or "long-press operation" on a certain video display area displayed on the playing interface, and the video targeted by the predefined sharing operation may be determined as a target video. A sharing manifest may then be presented at the current display interface of the first application. The sharing list can be used for displaying an application to which the video is shared. Such as: the user selects the second application, at this time, the current playing interface may show a communication list corresponding to the second application, and since the communication list shows the user identifier, the user identifier may also be understood as the account number or the remark of the user. That is, determining the target user is determining (selecting) the target user identification. For example, when a certain user identifier in a communication list displayed on a display interface by a user executes operations such as "single click operation", "double click operation", and "long press operation"; this user identity may be determined to be the target user identity.

It should be noted that the predefined sharing operation may be a combination operation or a single operation; the method is not limited, and only needs to be reasonably selected according to actual conditions. For example, when the predefined sharing operation is a combining operation, a first step of the combining operation may be to determine an application that needs to share the target video, and a second step may be to determine a target user that needs to share the target video (or to select a target user identifier). When the predefined sharing operation is a single operation, the user can determine the target user only by one step, such as: when the user performs a predefined first sliding operation on a certain video of the first application, it may be determined that the user a is a target user in the communication list of the second application, and when the user performs a predefined second sliding operation on a certain video of the first application, it may be determined that the user B is a target user in the communication list of the second application. Of course, in the specific embodiment, there are many setting modes for the predefined sharing operation, which are not illustrated here, and only need to perform reasonable setting according to actual situations.

And step 120, sending the video information of the target video to a target terminal corresponding to the target user identifier.

In this embodiment, the video information may include at least one of: a video identification and a first address.

In this embodiment, the target terminal sends a video acquisition request to the target server, the target server acquires and returns a target video to the target terminal in response to the received video acquisition request, and the target terminal plays the target video in the second application.

In this embodiment, the video acquisition request includes at least one of: a video identification and the first address.

In some embodiments, after the target video and the target user identifier are determined, in order to reduce the transmission amount of data, the target video is sorted first to obtain video information. Therefore, only the video information needs to be sent to the second application corresponding to the target user identification, and the second application is installed on the target terminal; that is, it can be understood that the video information is sent to the target terminal corresponding to the target user identifier. According to the video sharing method and device, when the target video is shared, only the video information of the target video needs to be shared, the whole video file does not need to be sent, so that the data volume needing to be sent when the video is shared can be reduced, and the video sharing efficiency is improved.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first application and the second application may obtain a video from the target server for playing. That is, there is a server (target server) that is common to the first application and the second application and that is used to store the video. The target server can establish a communication relationship with the first application; the first application may send a video acquisition request to the target server and decode and play the video acquired from the target server. The target server can also establish a communication relationship with the second application; the second application may also send a video acquisition request to the target server, or may decode and play a video acquired from the target server. Therefore, the address and the video identifier for playing the video in the first application are also applicable to the second application, so that the second application can acquire the target video from the target server by using the video information.

In some embodiments, the video information may include: a video identification and/or a first address. The first address may be an address of the target video in the target server. Therefore, the first application and the second application can acquire the target video from the target server through the first address and then play the target video.

For example, since the first application and the second application can directly obtain the video from the same server (target server), the first application sends the video to the second application in the same way as the second application sends the video to the first application. For the sake of simplicity of the description, details of a manner in which the second application sends the video to the first application are not described herein.

In some embodiments, the video identifier may be an Identification (ID) of the target video, and the target terminal may also obtain other addresses of the target video (other playing addresses of the target video in the target server) through the video identifier, that is, the second application may also obtain and play the target video through the other addresses.

In some embodiments, after receiving the video identifier and/or the first address, the second application sends a video acquisition request to the target server, so that the target server obtains a corresponding target video according to the video acquisition request, and returns the target video to the second application for playing.

For example, after the target user performs the preset trigger operation on the video information on the second application, the target terminal sends the video acquisition request to the target server, so that the target server responds to the received video acquisition request and returns the received video acquisition request to the target terminal to obtain the target video. The preset trigger operation may be a "click operation" or a "double click operation" of the target user on the video information on the second application, and is not limited herein.

In order to better understand the ideas provided by the embodiments of the present application, the following description is made with reference to specific examples. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic view of an application scenario of a video transmission method according to an embodiment of the present application. In fig. 2, 210 is a target server, 220 is a first terminal 220 in which a first application and a second application are installed, and 230 is a second terminal 230 in which a second application is installed. The target video is stored in the target server 210, and both the first application and the second application can obtain the target video from the target server 210, that is, both the first terminal 220 and the second terminal 230 can obtain the target video from the target server 210. In order to protect the video files stored in the target server 210 from being acquired by malicious users, the target server 210 may encapsulate the video files stored therein. Thus, in some embodiments, the first application and the second application may share a set of decapsulation protocols such that a video played at the first application may be played at the second application 230 as well.

Illustratively, a first application on the first terminal 220 may also encode video information when sending the video information to a second application on the second terminal 230 to improve data security. At this time, the first application and the second application may share a set of codec protocols.

With continued reference to fig. 3A and 3B; fig. 3A is a schematic view of another application scenario of a video transmission method according to an embodiment of the present application. In fig. 3A, 310 is a terminal device, 320 is a display interface of a first application (meanwhile, it may also be a display screen of the terminal device 310), and 330 is a video file. If the user needs to send the video file 330 to the second application, a predefined sharing operation may be performed on the display interface 320 of the first application, such as: if the video file 330 is touched for a long time, another window 340 may be displayed on the display interface 320 of the first application, and the window 340 is used to display an application to which the video file 330 may be shared, as shown in fig. 3B. When the user selects the second application in the window 340, the display content on the display interface of the terminal device 310 may be changed into an operation interface corresponding to the second application, for example: a communication list (chat list/contact list) which can be displayed in an operation interface of the second application and is in the second application by a user; then, the user selects a target user identifier corresponding to a target user to be shared in the communication list; therefore, the video information is only required to be sent to the second application corresponding to the target user identification.

Further, please refer to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic view of another application scenario of the video transmission method according to the embodiment of the present application; in fig. 4, 410 is a target terminal, 420 is a target server, and 430 is a display interface of the target terminal 410, and a square frame displayed on the display interface can represent a shortcut of an application. It can be seen that the target terminal 410 may have a first application (optional), a second application, and a plurality of other applications (optional) installed thereon. When the second application receives the video information, the shortcut of the second application may flash to alert the target user. Of course, other manners may also be adopted to remind the target user that the second application has received the video information; such as: the target terminal 410 vibrates, the target terminal 410 makes a prompt sound, and the like. Meanwhile, the second application receives the video information, which may also be understood as the target terminal 410 receiving the video information.

Illustratively, after the target terminal 410 receives the video information, it may send a video acquisition request to the target server 420. The target server 420 may return the target video to the target terminal 410 according to the received video acquisition request.

For example, the target terminal 410 may receive the video information, and the target user opens the second application before the target terminal 410 sends the video acquisition request to the target server 420. Such as: when the target terminal 410 receives the video information, generating prompt information for reminding a target user of new information, and when the user opens the second application based on the prompt information and triggers the video information, the target terminal 410 sends a video acquisition request to the target server 420; at this time, the target server 420 may return the target video to the target terminal 410 in response to the received video information, so that the target terminal may play the target video.

In summary, in the embodiment of the application, the target video is stored in the target server, and both the first application and the second application can acquire the target video through the target server, so that when the first application sends the target video to the second application, only the video information of the target video needs to be sent, and the second application can acquire the target video, thereby reducing the data volume for sending the video and improving the efficiency for sending the video.

In some optional embodiments, the target server obtains the target video according to the first address in response to determining that the first address is a valid address. The target server responds to the first address determined to be the invalid address, determines a second address based on the video identification, and obtains the target video according to the second address.

In some embodiments, to prevent the target video from being streamed in a large amount, the first address is usually time-efficient, that is, the first address will fail after a preset time period. Therefore, when the first address fails, the target server may fail to obtain the target video through the first address, and at this time, the target server needs to obtain a new address (second address) through the target identifier and obtain the target video using the second address.

In some embodiments, the target terminal may send the first address to the target server together with the video identity; therefore, the target server can directly use the video identifier to acquire the second address when the first address fails, and then acquire the target video. The target terminal can acquire the target video by only sending the information to the target server once.

In some embodiments, the target terminal may also send the first address to the target server first; when the first address is an effective address, the target server can obtain the target video through the first address. When the first address is invalid, the target server sends an invalidation notification (used for prompting the invalidation of the first address) to the target terminal, so that the target terminal sends the video identifier to the target server in response to the invalidation notification. Therefore, the target server obtains the second address through the video identifier, obtains the target video through the second address, and returns the target video to the target terminal. In this embodiment, the amount of data sent by the target terminal to the target server each time is small, so that the time for sending data each time can be reduced, and when the first address is the effective address, the target terminal only needs to send information to the target server once to obtain the target video.

In some optional embodiments, the video information further comprises: at least one video frame image of the target video; and the target terminal can display at least one video frame image through the second application.

In some embodiments, when the target user opens the video information received in the second application, at least one video frame image may be displayed on the display interface, so that the user can preview the target video. Such as: if the at least one video frame image mainly includes some animals, the possible target video is a video about the animals, and if the at least one video frame image mainly includes mountains and waters, the possible target video is a video about landscapes, and the like.

In some embodiments, the target user triggers the video information, which may be understood as a trigger operation performed by the target user in at least one video frame image area, and the target video can be played and paused through the trigger operation; or send a video acquisition request to a target server, etc. Such as: when the target terminal receives a target video returned by the target server at the moment, if the target user triggers 'click operation' in at least one video frame image area, the target video can be directly played; when the "double-click operation" is triggered, the playing of the target video may be paused. Of course, the specific operation is not limited, and only needs to be set reasonably according to actual conditions.

In some optional embodiments, the video information further comprises: a web site and at least one of: the width and height information of the target video and the source of the target video; the target terminal checks video information before sending the video acquisition request to a target server, and sends the website to the target server in response to determining that the check fails; and the target server acquires the webpage comprising the target video through the website and returns the webpage to the target terminal.

In some embodiments, the website address may be a web address of the target video, and the video information may include: the aspect information of the target video, the source of the target video, and the like. The video information is checked to ensure that the target video obtained through the video information is correct and complete. Such as: when the width and height information of the target video is not correct, the target video may be characterized to be missing. If the identification of the target video is not correct, the target video may be changed maliciously, and if the source of the target video is not correct, the target video may be replaced, etc. Therefore, in order to ensure that the video information sent to the target server is correct information, when the video information is not verified, the target terminal does not send a video acquisition request to the target server. At this time, the target user cannot receive the target video or cannot receive the complete target video. Therefore, in order to enable the target user to view the target video in this case as well; in some embodiments, when the video information fails to be verified, the target terminal may send a website to the target server, and the target server may obtain the website based on the website including: and the webpage of the target video is sent to the target terminal, so that the target user can browse the target video through the webpage.

In some optional embodiments, the target terminal may play the target video through the second application, wherein a playing interface of the target video may include a jump control; and the target terminal responds to the detected trigger operation aiming at the jump control and displays the playing page of the target video through the first application.

In some embodiments, when the first application sends video information to the second application, a reflow page link of the first application may be included in the video information, and when the second application of the target terminal plays a video, the reflow page link is presented on a display interface of the target terminal (a playing interface of the target video) in the form of a jump control. And when the jump control is triggered, the current display interface of the target terminal jumps to the play page of the first application from the play interface of the second application.

In some embodiments, if the target video is sent from the first application to the second application for playing; when the display interface of the target terminal jumps back to the play interface of the first application from the play interface of the second application, comments, explanation and the like of the user in the first application on the target video can be watched, namely, the target video can be better known.

In some embodiments, if the target user needs to download the target video, the target server adds a corresponding identifier (e.g., a watermark) to the target video according to the source of the target video. Such as: the source of the target information is application X, and when the second application downloads the target video, the watermark including application X is downloaded together, and when the target terminal plays the downloaded target video, the watermark of application X can be displayed at a preset position of the playing interface.

With further reference to fig. 5, as an implementation of the methods shown in the above figures, the present disclosure provides one embodiment of a video transmitting apparatus, which may be specifically applied in various electronic devices.

As shown in fig. 5, the video transmitting apparatus according to the embodiment of the present application includes: a determining module 510, configured to determine, in response to detecting a predefined sharing operation in a first application, a target video and a target user identifier for the sharing operation; the target video is stored in a target server, and the target user identification is in a communication list of a second application; a sending module 520, configured to send the video information of the target video to a target terminal corresponding to the target user identifier; wherein the video information comprises at least one of: the target terminal sends a video acquisition request to the target server, the target server responds to the received video acquisition request, acquires and returns the target video to the target terminal, and the target terminal plays the target video in the second application; wherein the video acquisition request comprises at least one of: a video identifier and the first address.

In some embodiments, the target server is configured to, in response to determining that the first address is an effective address, obtain the target video according to the first address; the target server is used for responding to the fact that the first address is determined to be a failure address, determining a second address based on the video identification, and obtaining the target video according to the second address.

In some embodiments, the video information further includes: at least one video frame image of the target video; and the target terminal displays the at least one video frame image through the second application.
