1 is a flowchart of Embodiment 1 of a video downloading method of the present application. The video downloading method provided by the embodiment may be performed by a video downloading device, and the video downloading device is installed in a user such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a PC, and the like. In the terminal device on the side. The purpose of this video download method is to download part of the video data required by the user from the server.

As shown in FIG. 1, the method may include the following steps:

Step 101: It is detected that the user triggers a download operation in the video play interface, and sends a prompt message to the user, where the prompt information is used to prompt the user to input the download time period.

Step 102: Receive a download time period input by a user.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the user is watching a certain video. In the process of watching the video on the terminal device, if the partial video data is to be downloaded, the video downloading method provided in this embodiment is triggered. It should be noted that, if the user wants to download the entire video data, the entire video data is equivalent to a special partial video data, and can also be implemented by the method provided in this embodiment. Therefore, the part described in this embodiment is It is emphasized that this method can be used to download part of the video data, but it is not limited to downloading part of the video data.

In actual applications, the user triggers the download in a similar manner to the existing download trigger mode, which can be triggered by clicking the download button in the video playback interface. However, in the embodiment, when detecting that the user clicks the download button during the process of watching the video, the prompt information may be displayed in the interface through a prompt box or the like to prompt the user to input the prompt information. The time period you want to download.

The download time period in the embodiment refers to a play period corresponding to the video data, and may be composed of a download start time point and a download end time point, respectively corresponding to two play times of the video data.

As an optional implementation manner, when it is detected that the user selects the download button displayed in the video playing interface, an input box may be displayed in a preset area of the video playing interface, and the input box is used to provide the user with a downloading time. segment.

Correspondingly, the downloading time period input by the user from the input box is included, and the downloading time period includes a download start time point and a download end time point, for example, the download start time point and the download end time point input by the user are 30 min, 90 min, respectively. This means that the user wants to download video data with a video playback time of 30min to 90min.

Optionally, in addition to the information prompting the user to input the download time period, the prompt information may further set a download option for the user to select according to a partial download situation generally involved in the actual application, for example, the prompt information may also include, for example, : Download the option of the remaining part that is not seen, so that when the user wants to download the remaining video data that is not viewed, the input of the download time period can be realized by checking this option.

Step 103: Send a video download request to the server, where the video download request includes a video identifier and a download time period input by the user.

After receiving the download time period input by the user, a video download request is generated, and the video download request is sent to the server. The video identifier may be a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the video data, or may be an identifier for uniquely identifying the video data, such as a name of the video data.

Step 104: Receive and store part of the video data sent by the server according to the video download request, where the part of the video data includes each piece of video data corresponding to the download time period, and the server pre-determines the video data corresponding to the video identifier by a preset time length. Perform segmentation cutting.

After receiving the video download request, the server first determines corresponding video data based on the video identifier, and then obtains part of the video data that the user requests to download from the video data.

In practical applications, the server can perform segmentation cutting for each video in units of preset time lengths, for example, video segmentation cutting according to time units such as 1s, 5s or 1min. Therefore, after the server receives the download time period requested by the user, part of the video data in the video data that matches the download time period may be intercepted based on the download time period.

It is worth noting that, in general, the download time period input by the user can be accurate to the minute (min). If the second (s) is accurate, it is difficult for the user. Therefore, if the user inputs the download time period. It is a manual self-input method. The time unit of the corresponding video data segmentation can be set to 1 min, that is, the complete video data is segmentally cut according to 1 min, and each video segment is represented by a corresponding time stamp. When the partial video data corresponding to the download period of the user is obtained, for example, the download time period input by the user is (30 min, 90 min), the server queries the acquisition time stamps for each video segment of 30 min, 31 min, and 90 min, respectively. The video segment constitutes part of the video data that matches the download time period and is delivered to the terminal device. The terminal device receives and stores part of the video data sent by the server according to the video download request, so that the user can then view part of the video content that he has not watched.

In this embodiment, when it is detected that the download operation is triggered in the video play interface during the process of watching the video, the video download request carrying the video identifier and the download time period is sent to the server according to the download time period input by the user. The server obtains the corresponding partial video data and delivers the video data to the user terminal device side in response to the downloading time period requested by the user. Thereby the user terminal device receives and stores part of the video data transmitted by the server. Through the scheme, when the user wants to download part of the video data, only the time period corresponding to the part of the video data to be downloaded needs to be input, the partial video data can be downloaded, and the entire video data does not need to be downloaded, thereby effectively saving the user terminal device. The traffic reduces the occupation of the terminal device storage space by the video data that the user does not need.

Step 201: It is detected that the user selects the download button displayed in the video play interface, and an input box is displayed in a preset area of the video play interface, and the input box is used to input a download time period.

Step 202: When it is determined that the user selects the download button, the play time point corresponding to the play progress bar is the download start time point.

Step 203: Determine a download end time point according to the total length of time of the video.

Step 204: Display the download start time point and the download end time point in the input box.

Step 205: Receive an acknowledgement input by the user through the input box.

After step 205, the

above steps

103 and 104 can be continued.

Another downloading time segment input mode is provided in this embodiment. The application scenario corresponding to the input mode is that the user wants to download the remaining video data that has not been viewed. It can be executed after the user provided in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 selects the option to download the remaining portion that is not seen, or can be executed immediately after the input box is displayed.

Specifically, when it is detected that the user selects the download button in the video play screen, it is determined that the user wants to perform video downloading. At this time, by detecting the play time point corresponding to the play progress bar in the video play screen, the play time point. For the time point currently viewed by the user, the playback time point can be set as the download start time point by default.

Moreover, for the case where the user wants to download the remaining video data, each video data has a certain length of time, which is the length of time of the complete video data, and therefore, the download end time point can be determined according to the length of time, The download start time point and the download end time point are displayed in the input box. If it is detected that the user issues a confirmation indication by clicking the OK button in the input box, the user determines that the video data between the download start time point and the download end time point is to be downloaded, and then the subsequent download process is performed.

It is worth noting that if the user wants to download the remaining video data that is not being viewed, after the above-mentioned download start time point and download end time point are displayed in the input box, the user can change the download start time point and/or download. End the point in time and enter the input for the other download time period that you want to download.

In this embodiment, for the case where the user wants to download the remaining video data that has not been viewed, The detection of the current position of the play progress bar and the complete length of the video data can automatically determine the download start time point and the download end time point, without the user having to manually input, which facilitates the user to download part of the video data.
