Description

Network video playing method and processing device in multi-page browser

The present invention relates to a display technology of network video, and more particularly to a method and a processing apparatus for playing a network video in a multi-page browser. Background of the invention

Today, with the continuous increase of network bandwidth, network video attracts a large number of netizens with convenient access experience, diverse video sources, and real-time update speed, becoming an indispensable part of the mass network life. At present, there are many professional video websites on the Chinese network, such as Tudou.com (www.tudou.com), Youku (www.vouku.com), and Cool6.com (www.ku6.com). Provide a video to watch on one page.

Generally, when a user views a video using a multi-page browser, there is also a need to browse the page. For example, when the user views the video, if the user needs to browse the evaluation of the video under the video window, the user evaluation is required to be pulled down. In this way, the video cannot be viewed in its entirety, which affects the effect of video viewing. Based on this, in order to realize the requirement of the user to simultaneously watch the video and browse the page, the prior art provides a method for dividing the browser window, in which the browser window can only be separated from left to right or up and down, so that the left and right or upper and lower windows can be made. One of them is a window for browsing video, and the other is a window for browsing other pages, as shown in FIG. In Figure 1, the overall window is the browser window, the left child window is the window for browsing the video, and the right is the window for browsing other pages.

It can be seen that the above method of dividing the browser window enables the user to simultaneously watch the video and browse other pages. However, in general, the video window is difficult to be covered in the separated window, thus causing the separated window. Can not be fully utilized, such as the space below the left sub-window in Figure 1. This greatly wastes window space resources. Summary of the invention

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and a processing apparatus for playing a network video in a multi-page browser, so as to fully utilize window space resources when viewing a video and browsing other pages by using a multi-page browser.

The method for playing network video in a multi-page browser provided by the embodiment of the invention includes the following steps:

Determining whether there is a video window in the window where the multi-page browser is located; if yes, when the video window is the target video window, creating an independent display window for the target video window, and playing the video by using the independent display window .

The embodiment of the invention further provides a device for processing network video in a multi-page browser, comprising:

a decision module, configured to determine whether a video window exists in a window where the multi-page browser is located;

a window creating module, configured to: when the video window is a target video window, create a separate display window for the video window when the determination result of the decision module is YES; and a redirection module, configured to utilize the independent The show window plays the video.

In summary, it can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when there is a video window in the window where the multi-page browser is located and is a target video window, an independent display window is created for the target video window, and the independent display window is utilized. The show window plays the video. That is to say, the embodiment of the present invention redirects the video in the webpage to the newly created independent display window by playing a new independent display window, so that the user can perform other operations simultaneously without affecting the video window while watching the video. The effect of watching. At the same time, since the present invention plays the video in the newly created dialog window, it does not occupy other space of the single window, thereby making full use of the space of the original single window.

In the present invention, in order to make full use of the window space resources while watching video and browsing other pages at the same time, the video in the web page is extracted and played in a new window. Usually, the video in the web page is played in a specific playback mode (for example, flash playback mode), which is displayed by a player of a specified type in the web page and a file of a specified type. Among them, the player is the network player specified by the website in most cases (the video window in the webpage is essentially a network player), and the file is downloaded from the network to the local video file to be played. Here, the video file is usually a flv file in a network. Since playing the flv file, it is usually necessary to first convert the ID of the video file to be played into the network address where the video file is located, and then download the video file to play, from the ID to the network. The process of the address is implemented by the network player, and the local player cannot implement the process, that is, playing the video file with the local player will not succeed. Based on this, the local player needs to construct a playback environment similar to the network, so that the video in the extracted webpage is successfully played.

Referring to FIG. 2a, FIG. 2a is a basic flowchart of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 2a The process can include the following steps:

Step 201a: Determine whether a video window exists in the window where the multi-page browser is located, and if yes, perform step 202a; otherwise, end the current process.

Step 202a: When the video window is a target video window, create a separate display window for the video window, and play the video by using the independent display window.

The above is a description of the process of the embodiment of the present invention. The method provided by the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 2b, FIG. 2b is a detailed flowchart of an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the method for playing the network video in the multi-page browser disclosed by the present invention mainly includes three parts: video search, extraction, and creation of a new window independent display port.

For multi-page browsers, each page is usually displayed through a sub-window in a single window. Using the present invention, first find out whether there is a video to be extracted by each page of the multi-page browser by the following steps: traversing each sub-window in the current window of the multi-page browser, if the control is found in each sub-window, according to the control identifier It is checked whether a video window exists in the sub-window (step 201b). Since the video is usually implemented by a control, when the control identifier of the control is obtained, the type of the control can be known, which is: determining whether the obtained control identifier is a flashID for representing the video, and if so, determining that the current webpage exists. A flash that is playing. If yes, check whether the video window is a target video window according to a predetermined rule (step 202b); here, the target video window refers to a video window that the user wants to extract to a new independent display window for viewing, and determine the video window. Whether the predetermined rule of the target video window can be preset according to different requirements, for example, whether the video window is a video window currently triggered by the user's mouse or a video window that the user right-clicks or drags is used as a predetermined rule.

After finding the target video window through the above process, it is next necessary to construct a new independent display window (step 203b), so that the target video is from the original target video window. Extract it out. Since the parent window of a window can be reassigned through the API function SetParent of the windows SDK (of course, other functions that can re-specify the parent window are not excluded), so when the target video window is extracted from the original window, the present invention The parent window of the target video window is designated as a newly created independent display window (step 204b), and the video is displayed on the new independent display window. The specific implementation of step 204b may include: A window handle of the target video window, the parent window of the target video window is designated as the independent display window according to the window handle.

It is worth noting that the control identifier in step 201b refers to any identification information indicating the type of the control of the control. Taking the Windows operating system as an example, the type of the control is identified by the control identifier CLASSID on the Windows platform. In addition, for the control implemented by the Embed object, the Type property is used to indicate the type of the control.

Since the present invention adopts the redirection method of the video window, the window is not really separated from the original single window, that is, the video does not change the playback progress during the two window switching processes.

Since the type of the video in the current webpage exists in addition to the above windowed video, there is also a video implemented by an Object object and an Embed object, and therefore, the present invention also provides a method of converting a non-windowed video into a windowed video. This is achieved in order to apply the above described solution of the present invention. The video control running on the webpage has a parameter to indicate whether the control has a corresponding window. This parameter can be wmode or other implementation parameters when implemented. It is not limited here. When the value of this parameter is a predetermined value. When the video in the webpage has a corresponding window, for example, in the current prior art, when wmode=window, the video in the webpage has a corresponding window. In addition, the flash object in the web page obtains the class factory interface for creating the object through the following functions:

HRESULT CoGetClassObjectFromURL( REFCLSID rclsid, // The activex control classid to be created, through which it can be determined whether the video control is created.

LPCWSTR szCodeURL,

DWORD dwFileVersionMS,

DWORD dwFileVersionLS,

LPCWSTR szContentType,

LPBINDCTX pBindCtx, DWORD dwClsContext, LPVOID pvReserved, REFIID riid,//

VOID**ppv//return value, object class factory interface, then the object will be created through this interface

);

As an embodiment of the present invention, when a multi-page browser creates a control, a hook can be used to monitor the creation of a control running in the browser. Hook is a kind of Windows provided to replace the "interrupt" under DOS. System mechanism, translated into Chinese as "hook" or "hook". After a specific system event is hooked, once a hook event occurs, the program that hooks the event is notified by the system, and the program can respond to the event at the first time. Since the system function of the hook mechanism in a process is usually shared globally, it is mainly reflected that the entry address is unique within the process, and if the library file containing the above function is loaded before the program is run, the function is loaded into the process. You can know the entry address of this function, replace the location where the entry address is saved with another address of the global function that is exactly the same as the function parameter list, and save the original function address. When the original call path calls the above function, Call that function to us. That is, in the creation Time, according to the control identifier to determine whether the control to be created is a video control, if it is a video control, the value of the wmode parameter of the video control is set to a predetermined value, the predetermined value can be window, but does not exclude other means that the control has The predetermined value of the window. This allows you to convert a windowless video control into a video control with a window.
