Along with the development of science and technology, the functions and applications of electronic devices such as mobile phones are more and more abundant, and meanwhile, with the increasing strength of Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms, short video Application programs (APPs) have several advantages: the video that fragmentation time was watched, was understood your hobby and was interested in of automatic propelling movement your receives more and more multi-user's liking, and more users spend the time on short video APP more than traditional long video APP, and it becomes the most general hobby in vast electronic equipment user to brush short video at idle time.
In the related art, many users like to brush short videos on planes, high-speed rails or subways on and off duty, and at this time, because there is no network or there is a network but the signal is unstable, many short videos cannot be played successfully or smoothly. In addition, the short video consumes a large amount of traffic, most of the users have their operators with a limited amount of traffic, and watching the short video with the cellular data traffic for a long time also results in insufficient traffic of the electronic device, which requires additional cost to charge the traffic. Therefore, the related technology cannot balance smooth playing of short videos and low cost of cellular data flow, and cannot meet the diversified requirements of users on playing of short videos by electronic equipment.
In order to solve the foregoing technical problem, embodiments of the present application provide a video caching method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium.
The video caching method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.
It should be noted that the video caching method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applicable to an electronic device, and in practical application, the electronic device may include: the mobile terminal includes a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant, and the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a video caching method according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 1, the method may include the following steps: step 101, step 102 and step 103, wherein,
in step 101, a first input of a user is received.
In step 102, in response to a first input, a video size and a cache video expiration time previously cached from a network are set.
In the embodiment of the present application, the video cached from the network may be a short video, a medium-length video, or a long video. For ease of understanding, the following description will be given by taking short videos as an example.
In order to ensure that the electronic device can smoothly play the short videos in various network environments, the electronic device may support a user to cache some short videos from the network to the local electronic device in advance.
In the embodiment of the application, a user can set the video size cached from the network and the cache video expiration time by inputting a first input on the electronic device, wherein the first input may be gesture-related input such as click input, slide input or text input, and may also be voice input.
In some embodiments, the electronic device may provide a video cache setting interface, wherein the video cache setting interface may include: the user sets the video size cached from the network and the cache video dead time by carrying out first input on the above controls.
In an example, a short video cache setting control may be added to a video playing interface of the electronic device, and the user may click the control when going out or about to leave a WiFi area, and after the electronic device detects that the user clicks the control, the video cache setting interface shown in fig. 2 is displayed, so that the user selects the size of the target cache video and the cache video expiration time (the cached short video occupies a memory, and is set to be automatically deleted after a period of time, and releases the memory). The user can select the corresponding video cache size and the video failure time according to the own requirements, and can also customize. After the user finishes checking, the electronic equipment can automatically cache videos with corresponding sizes for the user according to the preference of the user for watching the short videos, and starts a timer to automatically delete the corresponding short videos after the time point set by the user.
In the embodiment of the application, in order to reduce the occupancy rate of the storage space of the electronic device, the cached videos in the electronic device reaching the video failure time can be deleted, so that the memory occupied by the videos is released to avoid occupying the storage space of the electronic device for a long time.
In another example, the electronic device may implement pre-caching of the short video by using a combination of software and hardware as shown in fig. 3, and as shown in fig. 3, the electronic device may include: the video recommendation method comprises a processor, a storage and a timer, wherein a video recommendation algorithm and a short video APP are run in the processor, the video recommendation algorithm is an algorithm formed according to the preference of a user when the user watches short videos, the timer is used for informing the storage to delete cached videos after the time according to the short video dead time (also called video release time) set by the user, and the storage is used for storing the cached videos and can be a memory specifically. After the user finishes the cache setting, the processor caches videos with corresponding sizes in the background to the memory according to the setting of the user, the videos start in the WiFi mode by default, the user is reminded whether to use flow to download in the non-WiFi mode, and the main page of the electronic equipment can prompt the user that the downloading is finished after the downloading is finished. After the video downloading is completed, when a user opens the corresponding short video APP, the electronic equipment can detect the network state of the electronic equipment, and a short video playing strategy matched with the current network state is adopted according to the current network state of the electronic equipment.
In step 103, downloading the video from the network for pre-caching according to the set video size and the cache video expiration time.
It can be seen from the above embodiments that, in this embodiment, the video size and the cache video expiration time that are cached from the network in advance can be set by the user, and the video is downloaded from the network to be cached in advance according to the set video size and the cache video expiration time, so that when a subsequent user uses the electronic device to watch the video, the electronic device can read the cached video from the electronic device to play in due time and in due amount based on the network state of the environment where the user is located, so as to achieve the balance between the smooth play of the short video and the low overhead of the cellular data traffic, and can meet the diversified demands of the user on the electronic device to play the short video.
In another embodiment provided by the present application, the video caching method provided may add the following steps (not shown in the figure) after step 103 in the embodiment shown in fig. 1: step 104, step 105 and step 106, wherein,
in step 104, in case that the network status of the electronic device is a cellular network connection status, a second input of the user is received.
In this embodiment, the second input may be a click input, for example, a click input to the video playing control.
In step 105, in response to the second input, a target push ratio of the cached video to the network downloaded video is determined.
In the embodiment of the application, the target push proportion carries the proportion of the cached video in the video pushed to the user and the proportion of the network downloaded video.
In some embodiments, the target push ratio of the cached video to the network-downloaded video may be determined according to a play mode selected by a user, and accordingly, the step 105 may include the following steps (not shown in the figure): sub-steps 1051 and 1052, wherein,
in sub-step 1051, in response to a second input, a user selected playback mode is determined.
In the embodiment of the application, in order to ensure that the electronic device can smoothly play the short video while reducing the cellular data traffic overhead in the cellular network environment, the electronic device can support a user to set multiple play modes. For example, when the network state of the electronic device is the cellular network connection state, a play mode selection interface is displayed, where the play mode selection interface includes a plurality of play mode selection controls, and different play mode selection controls correspond to different play modes; a user selection input to a playback mode selection control is received, and a playback mode selected by the user is determined in response to the selection input. Wherein the selection input may be a click input or a slide input.
In one example, when the user turns on the short video APP, if the short video APP is detected to be in a cellular network connection state, a play mode selection interface as shown in fig. 4 is displayed to ask the user whether to enter a traffic-free mode, a low traffic mode, or a normal traffic mode.
In the sub-step 1052, determining a target push ratio of the cached video and the network downloaded video according to the play mode; when the play mode is a traffic-free mode, the target push ratio is 1: 0; when the play mode is a low-flow mode, the target push proportion is M to N, wherein M is greater than N, and M and N are positive integers; when the play mode is the normal traffic mode, the target push ratio is 1: 1.
When the play mode selected by the user is the traffic-free mode, the target push ratio is 1:0, that is, after the user selects the traffic-free mode, the short video APP only pushes out the video from the buffered video for the user to watch, and a new video cannot be downloaded.
When the play mode selected by the user is the low-flow mode, the target push ratio is M: N, wherein M is larger than N, and M and N are positive integers, that is, after the user selects the low-flow mode, the number of the cached videos in the played short videos is pushed to the user and is larger than the number of videos downloaded from the network in real time.
When the play mode selected by the user is the normal flow mode, the target push ratio is 1: 1. That is, when the user selects the low traffic mode or the normal traffic mode, the electronic device may simultaneously download and push new videos (e.g., some users like to pay attention to first hand news or messages) while pushing the cached videos to the user. The ratio of the pushed new video to the buffered video is different depending on the selection mode, e.g. 1:5 in low traffic mode and 1:1 in normal traffic mode.
In some embodiments, in addition to the three play modes, at least one of the following two play modes may be included: the target push ratio of the cache video to the network download video is P: Q, P is less than Q, P and Q are positive integers, and the target push ratio of the cache video to the network download video is 0: 1.
In step 106, according to the target push ratio, reading the cache video of the first ratio from the electronic device and downloading the video of the second ratio from the network for playing.
In some embodiments, in consideration of the network speed of the cellular network fluctuating, for example, the network speed fluctuates at different times of the same location, or the network speed fluctuates as the electronic device moves from one location to another location, for this case, during the process of playing the video, the speed of the network may be detected in real time, the push proportion of the buffered video is dynamically adjusted according to the speed of the network, and accordingly, after the step 106, the following steps (not shown in the figure) may be added: step 107, in which the step of determining the position of the target,
in step 107, the download rate of the cellular network is detected, and when the download rate of the cellular network is detected to be lower than the first preset rate threshold, the push proportion of the cached video is increased until the download rate of the cellular network is detected to be not lower than the first preset rate threshold, and the push proportion of the cached video is reduced to the first proportion.
That is, when the rate of the network is low, the percentage of the cached video in the video pushed to the user is increased, and when the rate of the network returns to normal, the percentage of the cached video in the video pushed to the user is reduced to the first ratio, so that smooth playing of the video in the playing process is ensured.
In this embodiment, the first preset rate threshold may be a minimum download rate required for smoothly downloading the video in the cellular network connection state.
For example, in the low traffic mode or the normal traffic mode, when the electronic device detects that the download rate of the cellular network is low (the low download rate easily causes a jam during downloading a new video), the push ratio of the cached video is gradually increased until the download rate of the cellular network returns to normal, and then the electronic device gradually returns to the previous push ratio of the new video and the cached video.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, when the user is in an environment where only the cellular network does not have the wireless network, the electronic device can synchronously download and push new videos while pushing the short videos cached in the electronic device to the user according to the user requirement, so that the electronic device can smoothly play the short videos, and meanwhile, the cellular data traffic overhead of the electronic device is saved.
In yet another embodiment provided by the present application, the video caching method provided may add the following steps (not shown in the figure) after step 103 in the embodiment shown in fig. 1: step 108, wherein the step of,
in step 108, under the condition that the network state of the electronic device is the wireless network WiFi connection state and the download rate of the WiFi is lower than the second preset rate threshold, reading the cache video from the electronic device for playing, until the download rate of the WiFi is not lower than the second preset rate threshold, stopping reading the cache video from the electronic device, and downloading the video from the network for playing.
In this embodiment of the application, the second preset rate threshold may be a minimum download rate required for smoothly downloading a video in the WiFi connection state.
In an example, when the user turns on the short video APP, the electronic device detects whether WiFi is connected locally in real time, and if it is detected that WiFi is connected and the download rate of WiFi is normal (that is, the download rate of WiFi is not lower than the second preset rate threshold), the cached video is not played, but a new video is continuously downloaded through WiFi to the user for watching. When the downloading rate of the WiFi is lower than a certain downloading rate (the downloading rate of the WiFi is low, so that the situation that a user is stuck when downloading a new video is easy to occur), a part of cache video is called to be watched by the user, and the new video is downloaded again for the user to watch until the downloading rate of the WiFi returns to normal. And after the watched cache video is finished for 1 minute, the cache video is automatically deleted (the situation that the user repeatedly watches is prevented), and the storage space of the electronic equipment is released.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, when the network state of the electronic device is the WiFi connection state but the downloading rate of the WiFi is low, the electronic device downloads the video from the network and the video is stuck, and in order to ensure that the electronic device can smoothly play the short video for the user, the cached video in the electronic device can be read to play until the WiFi downloading rate returns to normal.
In yet another embodiment provided by the present application, the video caching method provided may add the following steps (not shown in the figure) after step 103 in the embodiment shown in fig. 1: in step 109, the process, wherein,
in step 109, in the case that the network status of the electronic device is the non-networking status, the cached video is read from the electronic device for playing.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, when the network state of the electronic device is the non-networking state, the electronic device cannot access the internet, and in order to ensure that the electronic device can smoothly play the short video for the user, the cached video in the electronic device can be read for playing.
To sum up, in the embodiment of the application, when the electronic device plays the short video, different playing strategies can be adopted according to different network states of the environment where the user is located, and when the user is in an environment without a network or in an environment with a network but unstable network signals, the short video cached in the electronic device in advance can be played, so that the electronic device can smoothly play the short video. When the user is in an environment where only the cellular network does not have the wireless network, the electronic device can synchronously download and push new videos while pushing the short videos cached in the electronic device to the user according to the requirements of the user, so that the electronic device can smoothly play the short videos, and meanwhile, the cost of cellular data flow of the electronic device is saved. Therefore, in the prior art, the balance between smooth playing of short videos and low cost of cellular data flow can be achieved, and the diversified requirements of users on playing of the short videos by the electronic equipment can be met.
