detailed description

The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which FIG. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without departing from the inventive scope are the scope of the present application.

Embodiment 1:

A first embodiment of the present application provides a multimedia sharing method, as shown in FIG. 1 , which is a schematic flowchart of a multimedia sharing method according to the first embodiment of the present application. The multimedia sharing method may include the following steps:

Step 101: The first client selects a second client that is in the multimedia sharing mode.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, for any client, a multimedia sharing function button may be disposed in the client, and when the button is in an open state, the client may be in a multimedia sharing mode (ie, Sharing multimedia with other clients around it), when the button is off, the client can be in non-multimedia sharing mode. In other words, each client can flexibly set whether to enable the corresponding multimedia sharing mode according to the actual situation. Correspondingly, the selecting the second client in the multimedia sharing mode as described in step 101 may be specifically implemented as:

Selecting at least one other client as the second client from each of the other clients in which the corresponding multimedia sharing function button is in an open state.

Further, in order to improve the convenience and feasibility of the client selection, in the embodiment of the present application, the first client may generally be from other clients that are not more than the set distance from the first client. In the end, select the second client in the multimedia sharing mode. The setting distance can be flexibly set according to the actual situation, for example, it can be set to 1 km, etc., which is not described in detail in this embodiment of the present application.

That is, before selecting the second client in the multimedia sharing mode, the method may further include:

Determining, by the GPS (Global Positioning System) positioning, WIFI (Wireless Fidelity) positioning, Bluetooth positioning, and the like, that the distance from the first client is not greater than a set distance Various other clients. For example, the GPS+WIFI positioning method may be used to determine each other client that is not more than the set distance from the first client, or may be determined by using GPS+Bluetooth positioning to determine the distance from the first client. For other clients that are not greater than the set distance, the embodiment of the present application does not describe this.

Further, after determining each other client that is not more than the set distance from the first client, the method may further include:

Each of the determined other clients that are not more than the set distance from the first client is displayed in the first client to facilitate the user to view and select the second client.

Optionally, the first client may determine the determined location in the form of a list according to the distance between each other client and the first client in a sequence from near to far or from far to near. Each other client whose first client is not more than a set distance is displayed in the first client; or may be determined according to a distance between each other client and the first client. Each of the other clients that are not more than the set distance from the first client is displayed in the first client in the form of a schematic diagram. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

Correspondingly, the selecting the second client in the multimedia sharing mode, as described in step 101, may also be specifically implemented as: displaying the first client from the first client in a list form or a visual schematic form. Among the other clients whose terminals are not more than the set distance, at least one client in the multimedia sharing mode is selected as the second client.

Step 102: Send a multimedia play status acquisition request for the second client to the server.

Optionally, for example, the other clients that are determined to be no more than a set distance from the first client are displayed in the first client, where the first client may receive When the user sends a click instruction to the second client displayed by the first client, a multimedia play status acquisition request for the second client is sent to the server.

The multimedia playback status acquisition request may be carried by the identifier information of the second client, which is not described in this embodiment.

Step 103: Receive multimedia play status information that is returned by the server according to the multimedia play status acquisition request and related to a current multimedia play status of the second client.

The multimedia play status information related to the current multimedia play status of the second client may be The second client is actively uploaded to the server, and the second client may be passively uploaded to the server according to the second multimedia playback state acquisition request initiated by the server. This example does not limit this.

Specifically, the multimedia play status information related to the current multimedia play status of the second client is an example that the second client actively uploads to the server, and the second client may be according to the first The multimedia play status reporting command sent by the client reports the multimedia play status information related to the current multimedia play status of the second client to the corresponding server; that is, after selecting a client as the second client, The first client may send a corresponding multimedia play status reporting instruction to the second client, to instruct the second client to use the multimedia of the second client according to the multimedia play status reporting instruction. The multimedia playback status information related to the playback status is reported to the corresponding server. In addition, the second client may also report the multimedia play status information related to the current multimedia play status of the second client to the server in real time or periodically, which is not described in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, the multimedia play status information may include at least one or more of the following information: name information of the currently playing multimedia file, play time stamp of the currently playing multimedia file, multimedia play behavior information, And multimedia playlist information.
