After the user selects the associated feature play control, the display 275 can be directly rotated to play the associated feature.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the vertical media asset does not have an associated feature film, the display is controlled to play the vertical media asset on the video layer, and the associated feature play control is hidden on the floating layer.

In some embodiments, if the vertical media asset obtained by the display device 200 from the server 300 does not have its corresponding associated feature, only the vertical media asset is played on the display 275, and the associated feature play control 201 is hidden.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the display device 200 obtains the vertical media asset, it can be determined whether the vertical media asset has an associated feature play control. In an implementation manner, when the server 300 searches for vertical media assets according to the vertical media assets acquisition request sent by the display device 200, if the vertical media assets have an associated feature film, the server 300 will play the vertical media assets. The address and the corresponding ID (Identity document) of the associated positive are issued to the display device 200 together. In another implementation manner, the positive film logo may be included in the vertical media asset. When the display device 200 receives the data sent by the server 300, it determines whether there is a positive identification associated with the positive in the data. If there is a feature mark associated with the feature film, during the process of playing the vertical media assets on the video layer, the associated feature film playback control 201 is controlled to be continuously displayed on the floating layer.

In some embodiments, it can be determined whether there is an associated feature play control in the vertical media asset during the playback process of the vertical media asset. In an implementation manner, when the server 300 searches for vertical media assets according to the vertical media assets acquisition request sent by the display device 200, if the vertical media assets have an associated feature film, the server 300 will play the vertical media assets. The address and the corresponding feature identification of the associated feature are delivered to the display device 200 together. When the display device 200 receives the data issued by the server 300, it first requests the vertical media asset according to the playback address of the vertical media asset, and plays it on the video layer of the display 275. During the playback of the vertical media asset, When a preset key signal input by the user through the remote control is received, the associated feature play control is displayed on the floating layer. For example, in the playback interface of "LJRRZ" in Figure 5, the focus of the display device is on the video playback layer at this time, and the user controls the focus to move to the right by pressing the right button of the remote control. At this time, the display device 200 determines whether there is a feature film. If the identifier exists, the associated feature play control 201 is displayed on the floating layer of the video play layer, and the focus is moved to the associated feature play control 201.

In other embodiments, it may be determined whether to determine whether the vertical media asset has an associated feature film according to the length of the playing time of the vertical media asset. In an implementation manner, when the server 300 searches for vertical media assets according to the vertical media assets acquisition request sent by the display device 200, if the vertical media assets have an associated feature film, the server 300 will play the vertical media assets. The address and the corresponding feature identification of the associated feature are delivered to the display device 200 together. When the display device 200 receives the data sent by the server 300, it first requests the vertical media asset according to the playback address of the vertical media asset, and plays it on the video layer of the display 275. If the playing time of the vertical media asset exceeds the preset time Set the time and display the associated feature play controls on the floating layer. For example, if the user watches a certain vertical media asset for more than 1 minute, it means that the user is more interested in the vertical media asset. At this time, the display device 200 can determine whether there is a positive identification in the data issued by the server, and if so, , The associated feature play control 201 is displayed on the floating layer. Of course, if the user has not watched the vertical media asset for more than 1 minute, that is, the vertical media asset has been switched within 1 minute, then it is not necessary to determine whether there is a positive identification in the data sent by the server at this time.

For the two vertical media assets before and after the user switch, when the display 275 switches the vertical media assets for playback, if the switched vertical media assets have associated positives, the display 275 is controlled to play the switched vertical media assets in the video layer. To media assets, and display the associated feature control 201 on the floating layer. If the switched vertical media asset does not have an associated feature, the display 275 is controlled to play the switched vertical media asset on the video layer, and the associated feature control 201 is hidden on the floating layer.

The above describes the process of how to judge whether there are related positives in vertical media assets and when to judge. Next, this application will continue to explain the process of how to switch to the corresponding associated feature if there is an associated feature in the vertical media asset, that is, after the associated feature playback control is displayed on the display.

In the embodiment of the present application, the controller 250 in the display device 200 receives the input operation instruction, and sends an associated feature acquisition request to the server according to the feature identification included in the vertical media asset. For example, the user moves the focus to the associated feature play control by using the direction buttons on the remote control, and confirms with the "OK" button. At this time, the controller 250 sends the association to the server 300 according to the feature identification contained in the vertical media asset. Feature film acquisition request.

After receiving the related feature acquisition request, the server 300 searches for related feature data according to the request, and sends the related feature data to the display device 200. The controller 250 receives the associated feature data sent by the server 300 according to the associated feature acquisition request, where the associated feature data includes corresponding vertical feature detail page data and feature play address. According to the vertical feature detail page data, the controller 250 controls the display 275 to display the vertical feature detail page on the video layer, where the vertical feature detail page includes a playback control and a program list control.

The channel most frequently used by users may be "short videos", that is, users usually watch short videos and other vertical media assets in the vertical screen state. Therefore, this application can set the focus on the "short videos" in the channel bar 204 by default. That is, as soon as the user enters the vertical screen state of the display device 200, the media assets under the short video channel can be seen. Among them, the focus is the starting point of the user's remote control operation on the current user interface, that is, the currently selected position, similar to the mouse hovering state on the PC side. Below the channel bar is the video playback window 205. The video playback window 205 is used to display the media assets selected by the user. As shown in Figure 6, the video playback window 205 is playing the vertical media assets under the short video channel. A display control element is displayed in the play window 205 through a floating layer, and the display control element includes an associated feature play control 201 and a favorite control 202. Among them, the floating layer refers to the temporary interfaces opened on the current interface of the display 275, and these temporary interfaces can complete prompt or context-related tasks.

In some embodiments, some vertical media assets under the short video channel are all intercepted from the positive films of the horizontal media assets, or used to promote the positive films, when the user is watching in the vertical screen state of the display device 200 In the case of a short video, if you find that you are interested in the feature film associated with the short video, you need to jump to the related feature film corresponding to the vertical media asset. For example, when a user requests vertical media assets to watch, the controller 250 in the display device 200 sends a vertical media assets acquisition request to the server 300, and the server 300 receives the request and searches for the vertical media assets to be played according to the request. address. In one implementation, when the server 300 is searching for vertical media assets, it can also search for the feature identification of the associated feature film corresponding to the vertical media asset, and combine the play address of the vertical media asset and the feature film. The logo is issued to the display device 200 together. The display device 200 receives the playing address and the feature identifier of the vertical media assets issued by the server 300. In another implementation manner, the positive film logo may be included in the vertical media asset. When the display device 200 determines that the data issued by the server 300 contains a feature mark, it can display the associated feature play control 204 on the floating layer of the video playback window 203. When the user selects the associated feature play control 204, the display device 200 can request the corresponding associated feature to be played according to the feature identification.

In other embodiments, the user has a favorite media asset among the vertical media assets that he is watching, and may need to watch it again later. Therefore, the favorite control 202 may be displayed on the floating layer of the video playback window 205.

When the display is playing media assets in full screen, if the user sends a left/right direction key signal through the remote control, the controller 250 receives the left/right direction key signal sent by the user through the remote control and recognizes it. The controller 250 is determining that the display When the 275 is in the display state, different operations are performed on the display interface of the display 275 according to the left/right direction key signal. Among them, the key signal is the signal generated by the remote control when the user performs key operations on the remote control.

In some embodiments, when the display 275 is in the vertical screen state and the video is played in full screen, the controller 250 receives the left/right direction key signal, and controls the focus to switch between the vertical media asset and the display control. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when a user is watching a vertical media asset under a short video, the focus is on the video playing window 205, and a display control is provided on the right side of the video playing window 205. If the user wants to watch the related feature film corresponding to the vertical media resource, he can input the right direction key through the remote control to move the focus to the related feature film playback control 201 in the display control. Of course, if the current focus is on the display control, and the user wants to abandon the operation of the display control, he can control the focus to move to the video playback window 205 by pressing the left direction button.

Here, if there is no corresponding associated feature for the vertical media asset currently viewed by the user, when the vertical media asset is played in the video playback window 205, the associated feature play control 201 in the display control is hidden. At this time, when the focus is on the video playback window 205, if the user inputs the right direction key through the remote control, the controller 250 will then move the focus to the favorite control 202 in the display control.

In some embodiments, when the display 275 is in the landscape mode to play the video in full screen, the controller 250 receives the left/right direction key signal, and then controls the playback progress of the media displayed on the display to fast forward/rewind.

Refer to FIG. 7, which is a schematic diagram of an interface for playing media assets in full screen on the display provided in an embodiment of the application in a landscape mode. As shown in FIG. 7, when the display is playing horizontal media assets in full screen in the landscape mode, if the key signal received by the controller 250 is the left/right direction key signal, the key signal is passed to the playback engine for processing, and the playback engine calls the playback The request interface of the framework, the playback position is passed in to realize the fast forward or rewind of the current viewing position.

In some embodiments, when the display 275 is in the vertical screen state to play vertical media assets, that is, in the vertical screen state, the focus is on the video playback window, that is, when the media assets are on, if the controller 250 receives the up/down direction Press the key signal to switch the vertical media information displayed on the display. If the vertical media asset is being played in the vertical screen state, and the controller 250 receives the up/down direction key signal sent by the remote controller, the controller 250 will pass the key signal to the playback engine for processing, and the playback engine first calls the playback framework's Release the interface, release the player, and then turn on the start button to play the previous or next vertical media asset. Of course, when the user finishes viewing the current vertical media asset, the controller 250 will also control the current display to automatically jump to the next vertical media asset. For example, if a user watches a certain vertical media asset under a short video channel, if he is not interested in the vertical media asset, he can switch to the next vertical media asset by pressing the down button of the remote control. For another example, after the user finishes viewing the current vertical media asset, the display 275 automatically switches to the next vertical media asset, but since the user prefers the vertical media asset that has just been viewed, he can press the up button on the remote control , Switch to the vertical media asset you just watched.

In some embodiments, in the vertical screen state, when the focus is on the display control, if the controller 250 receives the up/down direction key signal, the focus is controlled to switch between the associated feature play control 201 and the favorite control 202. As shown in FIG. 6, the associated feature play control 201 is located above the favorite control 202. When the focus is on the display control, if the received key signal is an upward key signal, the focus will be moved to the associated feature play control 201, If the received key signal is a downward key signal, the focus is moved to the favorite control 202. If the focus is already on the associated feature play control 201, and the received key signal is an upward key signal, the focus remains unchanged. If the focus is already on the favorite control 202, and the received key signal is a down direction key signal, the focus remains unchanged.

In some embodiments, when the focus is on the video playback window, if the received key signal is a confirmation key signal (OK key signal), the current vertical media asset playback can be paused, and after the confirmation key signal is received again, Can start the playback of the current vertical media assets.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the focus is on the channel bar of the vertical screen interface, if the received key signal is a return key signal or a down key signal, the control channel bar is hidden. When the channel bar is hidden, if the received key signal is a return key signal, the display of the channel bar will be controlled. For example, in FIG. 6, when the focus is on "my", "short video" or "application" in the channel bar 204, the user presses the return button or the down button of the remote control, and the controller 250 receives the return button signal or the down button. The key signal means that the user does not need to switch channels at this time, and the controller 250 can control the channel bar 204 to hide. If the user needs to switch channels and the channel bar 204 is already hidden, the user can generate a return button signal by pressing the return button of the remote control, and the controller controls the channel bar 204 to display according to the return button signal. When the channel bar 204 is re-displayed, the focus is on the "short video" in the channel bar by default.

Normally, in the vertical screen state, once the user enters the desired channel, there is no need to perform frequent channel change operations. Therefore, the channel bar 204 can be hidden after a period of delay to improve the user’s ability in the vertical screen state. Experience degree. Among them, the preset time can be 2 seconds. Of course, the preset time can also be adjusted according to actual application conditions.

In some embodiments, when the display device 200 is playing a video in full screen, when the controller 250 receives the left/right direction key signal, different operation controls are respectively performed for different display states of the display. Of course, when the video is played in full screen, when the controller 250 receives the up/down direction key signal, it can also perform different operation controls for different display states of the display.

In some embodiments, when the display 275 is in the vertical screen state to play vertical media assets, that is, in the vertical screen state, the focus is on the video playback window, that is, when the media assets are on, if the controller 250 receives the up/down direction Press the key signal to switch the vertical media information displayed on the display.

In some embodiments, when the display 275 is in the landscape mode to play horizontal media assets, that is, in the landscape mode, the focus is on the video playback window, that is, when the media assets are on, if the controller 250 receives the up/down direction buttons Signal, control the display to show the prompt bar. Among them, the prompt bar contains a floating layer of video information and a list of related recommendations.

Refer to FIG. 8, which is a schematic diagram of a detail page of a vertical positive film provided by an embodiment of this application. Figure 8 is the vertical feature detail page corresponding to the "LJRRZ" program in Figure 6. In Figure 8, the vertical feature detail page includes a video preview window 207, a detailed introduction 208, a playback control 209, and a program list control 210. The play control 209 is the prompt icon that displays "full screen play" in FIG. 8.

When the user moves the focus to the playback control 209 or the program list control 2010 through the direction buttons on the remote control, and sends a confirmation command through the "OK" button, the controller 250 controls the display 275 to rotate to the horizontal screen state through the motion component. This allows the display to obtain the associated feature film according to the feature play address and play it on the video layer, where the feature play address includes the play address of the associated feature film and the play address of the program indicated in the program list control.

Here, when the user selects any episode number in the program list control 210, the controller 250 also needs to calculate the number of play episodes selected by the user, and after determining the number of play episodes, it will send a notification to the server according to the play address of the play episode. 300 obtains and plays the associated feature film corresponding to the number of play episodes. For example, if the user clicks on the second episode, the controller 250 needs to further determine whether the second episode is a positive second episode or a second last episode. When the controller 250 determines the specific number of episodes to be played, it further obtains the associated feature film corresponding to the number of episodes to be played from the server 300 according to the corresponding play address.

In some embodiments, for media assets that do not have a vertical feature page, after the user sends an associated feature acquisition request to the server 300 through the display device 200, the server 300 receives the associated feature acquisition request according to the request. Search for the associated positive film data, and deliver the associated positive film data to the display device 200. The controller 250 receives the associated feature data sent by the server 300 according to the associated feature acquisition request, where the associated feature data includes a corresponding feature play address. The controller 250 can directly obtain the corresponding associated feature film according to the feature film playback address and play it on the display 275.

In the embodiment of the present application, after the user selects and confirms any episode of the play control 205 or the program list control 206, the controller 250 controls the display 275 to display a rotating prompt box. Refer to FIG. 9, which is a schematic diagram of a rotating prompt box provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 9, when the user wants to watch the related feature film of the vertical media assets in full screen, or selects other programs associated with the vertical media assets in the program list, the controller 250 controls the display interface of the display 275 A prompt box is displayed, that is, "This scene only supports horizontal screen, whether to rotate", "Rotate" and "Cancel" in Figure 9. When the user moves the focus to "rotation" and clicks to confirm, the controller 250 controls the display 275 to rotate through the motion component. When the user moves the focus to “Cancel” and clicks to confirm, the controller 250 cancels the rotation operation and controls the display 275 to continue to display the vertical details page in FIG. 8.

After the user confirms the rotation through the rotating prompt box, the controller 250 controls the display 275 to rotate to the horizontal screen state through the motion component, and controls the display 275 to display the transition animation during the rotation. Refer to FIG. 10, which is a schematic diagram of a transition animation provided by an embodiment of this application. With reference to Figure 10, during the rotation of the display 275, the display 275 has been displaying the transition animation in Figure 10, and in the transition animation, the prompt box "is about to rotate to horizontal screen" or "is about to rotate to vertical screen" is displayed. The display 275 indicates the current dynamics.

In the embodiment of the present application, during the rotation of the display 275, there may be obstacles caused by man-made or blocked objects. Therefore, during the rotation of the display 275, the controller 250 can also determine whether the display 275 is blocked. Turn the situation. The controller 250 detects the rotation signal of the display 275 to determine whether the display 275 is in a blocking state. For example, the controller 250 can detect the angular velocity or linear velocity of the display 275 during the rotation process. When the angular velocity or linear velocity decreases, it means that the display 275 rotates slowly and may be blocked. In other words, the controller 250 can detect the damping of the driving motor that drives the display 275 to rotate. If the damping of the driving motor becomes larger, it means that the display 275 may be in a blocking state.

When the display is in the blocking state during rotation, if the current rotation angle of the display is greater than or equal to the preset angle, the display is controlled to display the associated positive film, and if the current rotation angle of the display is less than the preset angle, the display is controlled to continue to display vertical media assets. For example, when the rotation angle of the display 275 is 80 degrees, 80 degrees is greater than the preset angle of 45 degrees, then it can be considered that the display 275 has completed the state transition, that is, rotated to the horizontal screen state, and then the display 275 can be controlled to display the vertical media information. The associated feature film. If the rotation angle of the display 275 is 30 degrees, which is less than the preset angle of 45 degrees, then it can be considered that the display 275 has not completed the state transition and is still in the vertical state, and then the display 275 is controlled to continue to display the vertical media.

In some embodiments, if the display 275 is blocked during rotation, the display 275 maintains its current state. After the user confirms that the blocking object is transferred, the rotation instruction can be sent to the display device 200 again to make the display 275 rotate to the horizontal screen state to play the associated feature film. For example, after binding the rotation function to specific keys on the remote control, the user can control the display to perform state changes by pressing specific keys on the remote control.

In the embodiment of the present application, devices such as a gravity sensor or a gyroscope may be provided in the display device 200, and the controller 250 determines the horizontal/vertical screen state of the display 275 through the device such as the gravity sensor or the gyroscope.

Of course, if the display is not in the blocking state during the rotation, when the controller 250 rotates the display 275 to the landscape state through the motion component, it further controls the display 275 to display the associated positive film.

The following describes the data interaction process between the display device and the server in the process of realizing the switch between the vertical media assets and the associated feature film in this application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

If there is a feature mark, the display device displays the associated feature play control on the short video homepage. When viewing the vertical media asset, the user clicks its associated feature play control, and the short video homepage sends the feature logo to the vertical feature detail page. The vertical positive film details page sends the related positive film acquisition request to the server according to the positive film identification. The server searches for the related positive film data according to the related positive film acquisition request and feeds it back to the vertical positive film details page. The related positive film data includes: vertical positive film details page data and positive film Play address. According to the vertical feature detail page data fed back by the server, the display device displays the vertical feature detail page on the display, where the vertical feature detail page includes playback controls and program list controls. When the user clicks on any episode indicated by the play control or the program list control, the vertical screen feature details page determines the program that the user clicked, especially after the user clicks any episode indicated by the program list control, the vertical screen feature details page Need to calculate the number of play episodes selected by the user. After that, the whole machine transition module can control the display to rotate, and when it rotates, it can start the horizontal screen homepage. During the rotation process, the whole machine transition module judges whether the user has blocking interference to the display. If there is a blocking situation, the whole machine transition module determines whether the rotation angle of the display exceeds the preset angle. If not, it controls the short video homepage to continue to display the vertical media assets. The server obtains the associated feature film and plays it on the horizontal screen playback page.

In the display device provided by the embodiments of the present application, when a user is watching a vertical media asset such as a short video, if an associated feature play control is displayed on the floating layer of the display, it means that the vertical media asset has an associated feature, and the user passes Select the associated feature play control and enter the operation instruction to control the display to play the associated feature on the video layer, so as to quickly switch from short video to associated feature and improve the user's viewing experience.
