In S101, a target video is played in a first video play page.
The first video play page may be any video play page in which a video is switched through a slide operation. The first video play page may be, for example, a Nearby page for playing videos published by local users in a video play application, a Follow page for playing videos published by followed users in a video play application, or a Recommend page for playing videos recommended by a video play application. The target video may be construed as a video originally played on the first video play page when the first slide operation is received, that is, a video played on the first video play page before the current display content of the first video play page is switched through the first slide operation.
Illustratively, the user may control the electronic device to switch the current display page to the first video play page and view a video on the first video play page.
In S102, a first slide operation on the first video play page is received, where the first slide operation is used for switching the current display content of the first video play page.
The first slide operation may be any slide operation performed on the first video play page to cause switching of the current display content of the first video play page. The first slide operation may be, for example, a leftward or rightward slide operation or an upward or downward slide operation. By way of example, the first slide operation described below is an upward or downward slide operation. The current display content of the first video play page may be construed as the content currently displayed on the first video play page. The current display content of the first video play page may be, for example, a video played on the first video play page and/or the hotspot list displayed on the first video play page. That is, the current display content is the target video when the electronic device plays the target video on the first video play page and is the hotspot list when the electronic device displays the hotspot list on the first video play page.
In this embodiment, the user may switch the current display content of the first video play page by sliding upward or downward. For example, the user may instruct the electronic device to switch the current display content of the first video play page to the next display content in the video stream of the first video play page by sliding upward on the first video play page and instruct the electronic device to switch the current display content of the first video play page to the previous played content in the video stream of the first video play page by sliding downward on the first video play page. Accordingly, the electronic device may determine that the first slide operation is received when detecting that the user slides upward or downward on the first video play page.
In S103, in response to the first slide operation satisfying a trigger condition for displaying the hotspot list, a preset video of the hotspot list is played on the first video play page, the hotspot list is displayed in a layer on the preset video, and video items of multiple hotspot videos are displayed in the hotspot list.
A hotspot video may be a video having much popularity. The popularity of the video may be calculated from the following parameters of the video: the number of times of being viewed, the number of times of being shared, the number of times of being added to favorites, the number of times of being commented on, and/or the number of times of being liked. Accordingly, the hotspot list may be construed as a list of recorded hotspot videos. As shown in
the popularity rank 211 of the hotspot video, the cover page 212 of the hotspot video, the video name 213 of the hotspot video, or the number 214 of people who are viewing the hotspot video. The video items 21 of the multiple hotspot videos may be ranked in order of popularity from high to low in the hotspot list. The hotspot list may be displayed in the first video play page, that is, in the layer in which the first video play page is located, or may be displayed in a floating window on the first video play page. The preset video of the hotspot list may be a preshot video containing audio or a preset animation effect carrying a corresponding audio effect. The preset video may be set by a developer. If the user does not instruct the electronic device to switch the hotspot list on the first video play page to another video after the preset video completes being played, the preset video may be played again.
In this step, the trigger condition for displaying the hotspot list may be set by the developer according to requirements. For example, the display condition of the hotspot list may be set as follows: The hotspot list is displayed in a preset time period (for example, 7:00-8:00 each day and/or 20:00-21:00 each day), and/or the hotspot list is displayed when the user performs the first slide operation on the first video play page for the nth (n is a positive integer) time. The hotspot list display method of this embodiment may also include, in response to determining that the first slide operation is the ith first slide operation in a preset time period or that the next to-be-displayed content located in the video stream of the first video play page and corresponding to the first slide operation is the hotspot list, determining that the first slide operation satisfies the trigger condition for displaying the hotspot list, where i is a positive integer.
If the display condition of the hotspot list is to perform the ith first slide operation in the preset time period, when the hotspot list is displayed on the first video play page, the hotspot list may be inserted between the target video in the video stream of the first video play page and the next video of the target video or between the target video and the previous video of the target video. For example, the hotspot list may be inserted between the target video in the video stream of the first video play page and the next video of the target video when the slide operation is upward and may be inserted between the target video and the previous video of the target video when the slide operation is downward. In this manner, after switching the hotspot list on the first video play page to another video in the video stream of the first video play page, the user can switch back to the hotspot list through the first slide operation and view the hotspot list again. One or more hotspot lists may be inserted in the video stream of the first video play page. For example, the hotspot list may be inserted between only the nth video in the video stream and the (n+1)th video in the video stream or may be inserted once every m (m is a positive integer) videos in the video stream. This is not limited in this embodiment.
The electronic device plays the target video on the first video play page. When wanting to switch the target video played on the first video play page, the user slides upward or downward on the first video play page. Accordingly, when detecting that the user slides upward or downward on the first video play page, the electronic device determines that the first slide operation is received and determines whether the current condition satisfies the display condition of the hotspot list. If the current condition conforms to the display condition of the hotspot list, the preset video of the hotspot list is played on the first video play page, the hotspot list is displayed in a layer on the preset video, and video items of multiple hotspot videos are displayed in the hotspot list. If the current condition does not conform to the display condition of the hotspot list, the video located in the video stream and corresponding to the slide operation of the user is played on the first video play page. For example, the next video of the target video in the video stream is played on the first video play page when the user slide upward, and the previous video of the target video in the video stream is played on the first video play page when the user slide downward.
In this embodiment, in order that viewing of the hotspot list is not affected when the preset video is played and that the display effect of the hotspot list can be improved, the preset video played when the hotspot list is displayed may contain a blurred area. That is, each video frame of the preset video contains a blurred area, and the display position of the blurred area on the first video play page is the same as the display position of the hotspot list on the first video play page. The blurred area may be a Gaussian blurred area or may be obtained by being processed in other manners. The position of the blurred area in each video frame may correspond to the display position of the hotspot list. That is, when the preset video is played on the first video play page, the position coordinates of the blurred area in each video frame of the preset video on the first video play page are the same as the position coordinates of the hotspot list on the first video play page. In this manner, the video frame inside the display area corresponding to the hotspot list can be displayed in a blurred manner, and the video frame outside the display area corresponding to the hotspot list can be displayed clearly.
In the manner below, the preset video of the hotspot list may be played on the first video play page, and the hotspot list may be displayed in a layer on the preset video.
A. The second target height of the hotspot list required when a target number of video items are displayed in the hotspot list is determined according to the preset display height of each video item.
The second target height may be construed as the height of the hotspot list required when a target number of video items are displayed in the hotspot list.
In this embodiment, the second target height of the hotspot list required when a target number of video items are displayed in the hotspot list may be calculated from the sum of the heights of the sub-display areas corresponding to characters in the hotspot list and the heights of the sub-display areas corresponding to video items of the hotspot list. For example, assuming that a list title “hotspot list” is displayed on the top of the hotspot list, a page prompt is displayed on the bottom of the hotspot list, the height of the first sub-display area corresponding to the list title is h21, the height of the second sub-display area corresponding to the page prompt is h22, and the height of the third sub-display area corresponding to each video item is h23, then when a target number of video items (for example, m video items) are displayed in the hotspot list, the height hm of the hotspot list is h21+h22+m×h23.
B. The height of a first blank area and the height of a second blank area are adjusted separately such that the display area of the original list is adjusted to the display area of a target list. The height of the display area of the target list is the target height.
The blank area may be construed as an area used for displaying video items of hotspot videos, located in the first video play page, and other than the display area of the original list including an original number of video items of the hotspot list. The blank area may include only the blank area located in the first video play page and below the display area of the hotspot list or may include both the blank area located in the first video play page and below the display area of the hotspot list and the blank area located in the first video play page and above the display area of the hotspot list. In this embodiment, the blank area includes a first blank area located in the first video play page and above the display area of the hotspot list and a second blank area located in the first video play page and below the display area of the hotspot list.
In this embodiment, the height of the first blank area and the height of the second blank area may be adjusted according to the same or different proportions as long as the height of the display area of the original list can be adjusted to the second target height and as long as characters that require to be displayed in the first blank area and the second blank area can be completely displayed in the first blank area and the second blank area after adjustment. When the hotspot list is displayed, the ratio of the height of the first blank area on the first video play page to the height of the second blank area on the first video play page may be set to 3/7.
Accordingly, after the sum of the height of the first blank area and the height of the second blank area is calculated, the height of the first blank area and the height of the second blank area before adjustment can be calculated based on the set ratio.
For example, the height of the first blank area and the height of the second blank area may be adjusted according to the same proportion. When the display area of the original list is adjusted to the display area of the target list, the following operations may be performed: The difference value between the second target height and the height of the display area of the original list is calculated. The sum of the height of the first blank area and the height of the second blank area before adjustment is calculated. The ratio of the difference value to the sum is calculated and used as the target proportion. The first blank area and the second blank area are each reduced by the target proportion. The product of the height of the first blank area and the target proportion is calculated and used as a first to-be-adjusted height. The product of the height of the second blank area and the target proportion is calculated and used as a second to-be-adjusted height. The lower boundary of the first blank area is shifted upward by the first to-be-adjusted height. The upper boundary of the second blank area is shifted downward by the second to-be-adjusted height. The adjusted lower boundary of the first blank area is determined as the upper boundary of the display area of the target list. The upper boundary of the adjusted second blank area is determined as the lower boundary of the display area of the target list. The left boundary and the right boundary of the display area of the original list are determined as the left boundary and the right boundary of the display area of the target list respectively. In this manner, the target display area is obtained.
Illustratively, assuming that the height of the first blank area before adjustment is h41, the height of the second blank area before adjustment is h42, the height of the display area of the original list is h2, and the second target height is h5, then the lower boundary of the first blank area requires to be shifted upward by a distance (that is, the first to-be-adjusted height) of L1, where L1=h41(h5−h2)/(h41+h42), and the upper boundary of the second blank area requires to be shifted downward by a distance (that is, the second to-be-adjusted height) of L2, where L2=h42(h5−h2)/(h41+h42).
If other characters are displayed in the first blank area/the second blank area, then after the position of the lower boundary of the first blank area and the position of the upper boundary of the second blank area are adjusted, the positions of other characters displayed in the first blank area/the second blank area may be adjusted such that other characters in the first blank area/the second blank area can be displayed normally in the first blank area/the second blank area after adjustment.
C. Each original video frame of the preset background video of the hotspot list is scaled such that the blurred area in each original video frame has the same height and/or width as the display area of the target list.
In this embodiment, a blurred area may be preset in each original video frame of the preset background video of the hotspot list, and the blurred area in each original video frame is adjusted such that the blurred area has the same height and/or width as the display area of the target list. In this manner, when the hotspot list is displayed, a blurred frame is displayed in the background video displayed in the display area of the hotspot list (that is, the display area of the target list) so that viewing of the hotspot list is not affected when the background video is played. The blurred area may be construed as an area in which the original video frame is blurred. The original video frame may be blurred in different manners according to requirements. For example, by using the Gaussian blurring technique, each video frame not containing a blurred area in the original background video may be processed as a video frame containing a blurred area.
In this step, for each original video frame in the preset background video, it is feasible to make the blurred area in an original video frame have the same height and width as the display area of the target list by scaling the height of the original video frame and the width of the original video frame according to different proportions; or it is feasible to make the blurred area in an original video frame have the same height and width as the display area of the target list by scaling the height of the original video frame and the width of the original video frame according to the same proportion. This is not limited in this embodiment.
In this embodiment, to ensure the frame display effect in the preset background video, the height of the original video frame and the width of the original video frame may be scaled according to the same proportion. In this case, for each original video frame in the preset background video, it is feasible to make an original video frame have the same height as the display area of the target list by scaling the height of the original video frame and the width of the original video frame according to the same proportion, regardless of the shifting direction of a target object in the preset background video; or for each original video frame in the preset background video, it is feasible to, when the shifting direction of a target object in the preset background video is considered, perform the following operations: at the time when the target object is mainly shifted out of the blurred area from the upper or lower boundary of the blurred area, the height of the original video frame and the width of the original video frame are scaled according to the same proportion until the blurred area has the same height as the display area of the target list, and at the time when the target object is mainly shifted out of the blurred area from the left or right boundary of the blurred area, the height of the original video frame and the width of the original video frame are scaled according to the same proportion until the blurred area has the same width as the display area of the target list; in this manner, the display effect of the hotspot list is improved when the target object is shifted out of the display area of the target list, that is, when blurred display of the target object is changed to clear display of the target object.
D. Each scaled original video frame is clipped into a target video frame conforming to the dimension of the first video play page so that a target background video corresponding to the preset background video.
Illustratively, each scaled original video frame may be placed at an area where the upper boundary and the lower boundary (or the left boundary and the right boundary) of the blurred area in each original video frame overlap the upper boundary and the lower boundary (or the left boundary and the right boundary) of the display area of the target list respectively; and with the boundary of the video play area on the first video play page as a clipping line, each original video frame is clipped into a target video frame whose dimension conforms to the dimension of the video play area on the first video play page, and a video composed of multiple target video frames is determined as a target background video. The video play area on the first video play page may be construed as an area located on the first video play page and used for displaying a video image in the played video. This area may be all or part of the first video play page. For example, when the first video play page does not contain an area that cannot be used for displaying a video frame in the played video, the boundary of the first video play page may be determined as the boundary of the video play area; and when the first video play page contains an area (for example, a bottom control display area 5 shown in
E. The target background video is played on the first video play page. The hotspot list is displayed in a floating window in the display area of the target list.
In an embodiment, when the first slide operation is received again, the hotspot list is stopped from being displayed, and a video located in the video stream and corresponding to the first slide operation received again is played on the first video play page.
In this embodiment, the user may switch, through the first slide operation, the target video played on the first video play page to another video or hotspot list and may switch, through the first slide operation, the hotspot list displayed on the first video play page to another video.
When the user wants to continue viewing the video, that is, when the user wants to switch the hotspot list on the first video play page to a video, the first slide operation may be performed again. Accordingly, the electronic device may determine again whether the current condition satisfies the display condition of the hotspot list when the electronic device receives the first slide operation again; and stop displaying the hotspot list on the first video play page when the current condition does not satisfy the display condition of the hotspot list and play, on the first video play page, the video corresponding to the first slide operation performed again. For example, the electronic device may play the previous video or the next video adjacent to the hotspot list in the video stream on the first video play page based on the slide direction of the first slide operation when the hotspot list is located in the video stream of the first video play page; and the electronic device may play the previous video or the next video adjacent to the target video in the video stream on the first video play page based on the slide direction of the first slide operation when the hotspot list is not located in the video stream of the first video play page.
In the hotspot list display method of this embodiment, a target video is played in a first video play page; a first slide operation on the first video play page is received, where the first slide operation is used for switching the current display content of the first video play page; and in response to the first slide operation satisfying a trigger condition for displaying the hotspot list, a preset video of the hotspot list is played on the first video play page, the hotspot list is displayed in a layer on the preset video, and video items of multiple hotspot videos are displayed in the hotspot list. In the solution of this embodiment, the hotspot list is displayed when a user switches a video, and the preset video is played in a layer under the hotspot list. The hotspot list is displayed so that the user can learn about information about hotspot videos and pay more attention to hotspot videos. Moreover, the first slide operation enables video switching so that the hotspot list can be displayed in a pleasant manner, and the user experience can be improved.
Optionally, the hotspot list display method of this embodiment also includes, in response to receiving a first trigger operation on a video item in the hotspot list, switching the current display page from the first video play page to a second video play page and playing a hotspot video corresponding to the first trigger operation on the second video play page.
Optionally, the hotspot list display method of this embodiment also includes, in response to receiving a third slide operation on the second video play page, switching, according to the order of video items of the hotspot list, the hotspot video played on the second video play page.
Optionally, the hotspot list display method of this embodiment also includes, in response to receiving a second trigger operation for displaying a control window of the hotspot list, displaying the control window of the hotspot list and displaying a Private Message control of at least one buddy and a No Interest control in the control window; in response to receiving a first click operation on the No Interest control, deleting the hotspot list from the video stream of the first video play page and playing the next video in the video stream; in response to receiving a second click operation on a Private Message control of a target buddy, sending the hotspot list to the target buddy, where the target buddy corresponds to the Private Message control clicked through the second click operation.
Accordingly, as shown in
In S201, a target video is played in a first video play page.
In S202, a first slide operation on the first video play page is received, where the first slide operation is used for switching the current display content of the first video play page.
In S203, in response to the first slide operation satisfying a trigger condition for displaying the hotspot list, a preset video of the hotspot list is played on the first video play page, the hotspot list is displayed in a layer on the preset video, multiple current video items on the current list page are completely displayed in a first display area of the hotspot list, multiple next video items on the next list page are partially displayed in a second display area of the hotspot list, and S204 or S206 is performed, where the hotspot list includes multiple list pages.
The current list page may be construed as the list page currently displayed in the hotspot list. The first display area may be construed as an area located in the hotspot list and used for displaying multiple current video items on the current list page. The second display area may be construed as an area located in the hotspot list and used for displaying multiple next video items on the next list page of the current list page. A current video item may be a video item on the current list page. A next video item may be construed as a video item on the next list page of the current list page.
In this embodiment, the displayed hotspot list may be divided into multiple displayed list pages. When displaying multiple video items in the hotspot list, the electronic device may display video items on the next list page in addition to video items on the current list page so that the user can view the hotspot list more easily. In this case, as shown in
In this step, the electronic device may display a fixed number of video items on each list page of the hotspot list. For example, the number of video items included on each list page may be preset. When displaying video items on each list page of the hotspot list, the electronic device may adjust the size of a character in each video item and the size of the cover page in each video item according to this number and the screen dimension of the electronic device. That is, the number of video items included on each list page is fixed. When the screen of the electronic device is large, the electronic device may display a large character and a large video cover page in the video item. When the screen of the electronic device is small, the electronic device may display a small character and a small video cover page in the video item.
Additionally, the electronic device may also display video items fixed in size on each list page of the hotspot list. For example, the size of a character in each video item and the size of the cover page in each video item may be preset. Accordingly, when displaying video items on each list page of the hotspot list, the electronic device may adjust the number of video items on each list page according to the sizes and the screen dimension of the electronic device. That is, the size of each video item displayed on each list page is fixed. When the screen of the electronic device is large, a large number of video items (for example, 5 or 6 video items) may be displayed on each list page. When the screen of the electronic device is small, a small number of video items (for example, 4 or 3 video items) may be displayed on each list page. Before displaying video items of the multiple hotspot videos in the hotspot list, the method also includes acquiring screen dimension information of the electronic device; and determining a target number of to-be-displayed video items on each list page of the hotspot list according to the screen dimension information and determining the to-be-displayed video items on each list page according to the target number. The screen dimension information of the electronic device may be determined according to the device model information of the electronic device. The device model information may be obtained from the device information of the electronic device.
In this embodiment, the screen dimension information of the electronic device may be the screen height of the electronic device. The electronic device may use the screen height as the page height of the first video play page; determine a blank area on the first video play page according to the page height and the original height of the hotspot list used when an original number of video items of the hotspot list are completely displayed; and adjust the original number according to the blank area to obtain a target number of to-be-displayed video items of the hotspot list.
The original number may be construed as the preset default display number of video items of the hotspot list. The original number may be preset by an application developer or determined according to the screen type of the electronic device. That is, the application developer may preset a universal default display number of video items for electronic devices having different screen types or may set different default display numbers of video items for electronic device having different screen types. This is not limited in this embodiment. The blank area may be construed as an area used for displaying video items of hotspot videos, located in the first video play page, and other than the display area of the original list including an original number of video items of the hotspot list. The blank area may include only the blank area located in the first video play page and below the display area of the hotspot list or may include both the blank area located in the first video play page and below the display area of the hotspot list and the blank area located in the first video play page and above the display area of the hotspot list. In this embodiment, the blank area includes a first blank area located in the first video play page and above the display area of the hotspot list and a second blank area located in the first video play page and below the display area of the hotspot list.
In this embodiment, the blank area may be determined according to the page height information and the original height of the hotspot list used when an original number of video items of the hotspot list are completely displayed. As shown in
In this embodiment, the original number may be adjusted according to whether a blank area exists on the first video play page and according to a first target height of the blank area on the first video play page. For example, when no blank area exists on the first video play page, the original number is reduced, and when a blank area exists on the first video play page and the height of the blank area is greater than the preset display height of a single video item, the original number is increased, so that the target number of to-be-displayed video items of the hotspot list is obtained. Alternatively, the integer part of the ratio of the first target height to the preset display height of a single video item is acquired, and then the sum of the original number and the integer part is calculated and used as the target number of to-be-displayed video items of the hotspot list.
Considering that the screen heights of different electronic devices generally do not differ greatly, that is, the absolute value of the difference value between the original number before adjustment and the target number after adjustment is generally not greater than 1, in this embodiment, the original number may be adjusted according to the relative sizes of the first target height and the preset display height of a single video item and the positive and negative values of the first target height so that the calculation amount required in the process of adjusting the original number is reduced. Adjusting the original number according to the blank area to obtain the target number of to-be-displayed video items of the hotspot list includes acquiring the difference value between the page height and the sum of the original height and the control height of a control provided on the first video play page using the difference value as the first target height of the blank area; if the first target height is greater than or equal to the preset display height of a single video item, incrementing the original number by 1 to obtain the target number of to-be-displayed video items of the hotspot list; if the first target height is less than the preset display height of a single video item and is greater than or equal to 0, determining the original number as the target number of to-be-displayed video items of the hotspot list; and if the first target height is less than 0, subtracting 1 from the original number to obtain the target number of to-be-displayed video items of the hotspot list.
In this embodiment, when the electronic device completely displays an original number of video items of the hotspot list, the first target height of the blank area on the first video play page may be obtained from the difference value between the page height of the first video play page and the sum of the control height of the display area corresponding to the control (including a character/control that requires to be displayed on the first video play page) provided on the first video play page and the original height of the display area of the original list of the hotspot list used when an original number of video items are completely displayed. The height of the display area corresponding to the character/control that requires to be displayed on the first video play page may be preset by the developer.
Illustratively, as shown in
In this embodiment, after the original number is increased or decreased by 1, it is also feasible to use the original number at this time as the new original number and return to S102 until the first target height is less than the preset display height of a single video item and is greater than or equal to 0; and use the original number at this time as the target number to improve the display effect of the hotspot list on the first video play page.
In an embodiment, the hotspot list display method of this embodiment may also include, in response to receiving a second slide operation on the hotspot list, switching the current list page of the hotspot list by moving the multiple current video items and the multiple next video items along the slide direction of the target slide operation; or, in response to receiving a click operation on a video item update control in the hotspot list, switching the current list page of the hotspot list.
The second slide operation may be construed as an operation for instructing the electronic device to switch the current list page of the hotspot list. The second slide operation may be a leftward or rightward slide operation performed by the user in the hotspot list.
In this embodiment, the user may switch the current list page of the hotspot list through a leftward or rightward slide operation or by clicking the video item update control. When wanting to switch the current list page to the next list page, the user may slide leftward in the hotspot list. Accordingly, when detecting the leftward slide operation in the hotspot list, the electronic device determines that the second slide operation is received and controls multiple video items displayed in the hotspot list to move leftward synchronously to switch the current list page to the next list page (see
When displaying the hotspot list, the electronic device may not display the hotspot list by page. For example, the hotspot list may be configured to include only one list page. In this case, the user may update video items on this list page by sliding leftward or rightward in the hotspot list or clicking a video item update control displayed in the hotspot list, that is, the electronic device may update video items of the hotspot list when detecting that the user slides leftward or rightward in the hotspot list or when detecting that the user clicks the video item update control. Additionally, when the current list page is the first list page in the hotspot list and the user slides rightward or when the current list page is the last list page in the hotspot list and the user slides leftward, it is feasible to not respond to the slide operation of the user or to switch the first video play page to another page whose page tag is adjacent to the page tag of the first video play page according to the page tag (for example, Nearby, Follow, or Recommend of
In S204, in response to receiving a first trigger operation on a video item in the hotspot list, the current display page is switched from the first video play page to a second video play page, and a hotspot video corresponding to the first trigger operation is displayed on the second video play page.
The first trigger operation may be used for instructing the electronic device to play the hotspot video corresponding to a video item displayed in the hotspot list. The first trigger operation may be a click on a video item displayed in the hotspot list. Accordingly, the hotspot video corresponding to the first trigger operation may be the hotspot video corresponding to a video item clicked by the first trigger operation. The second video play page may be construed as a page for playing a hotspot video.
Illustratively, the electronic device displays the hotspot list on the first video play page and displays multiple video items in the hotspot list. When wanting to view the hotspot video corresponding to a video item, the user clicks the video item. Accordingly, when detecting that the user clicks the video item, the electronic device determines that the first trigger operation is received, switches the current display page from the first video play page to the second video play page, and plays, on the second video play page, the hotspot video corresponding to the video item clicked by the user.
In S205, in response to receiving a third slide operation on the second video play page, the hotspot video played on the second video play page is switched according to the order of video items of the hotspot list, and the operation is ended.
The third slide operation may be used for instructing the electronic device to switch the hotspot video played on the second video play page. The third slide operation may be an upward or downward slide operation on the second video play page. When the third slide operation is upward, the electronic device may be instructed to play the next hotspot video (or the previous hotspot video). When the third slide operation is downward, the electronic device may be instructed to play the previous hotspot video (or the next hotspot video). The next hotspot video may be construed as the hotspot video corresponding to the next video item of the video item of the hotspot video currently played on the second video play page. The previous hotspot video may be construed as the hotspot video corresponding to the previous video item of the video item of the hotspot video currently played on the second video play page.
By way of example, the user can instruct the electronic device to play the next hotspot video when sliding upward in the second video paly page and can instruct the electronic device to play the previous hotspot video when sliding downward in the second video paly page, and the electronic device plays a hotspot video on the second video play page. In this case, when wanting to switch the hotspot video played on the second video play page to the next hotspot video, the user slides upward in the second video paly page; and when wanting to switch the hotspot video played on the second video play page to the previous hotspot video, the user slides downward in the second video paly page. Accordingly, when detecting that the user slides upward, the electronic device determines that the third slide operation is received and switches the hotspot video played on the second video play page to the next hotspot video; and when detecting that the user slides downward, the electronic device determines that the third slide operation is received and switches the hotspot video played on the second video play page to the previous hotspot video.
In S206, in response to receiving a second trigger operation for displaying a control window of the hotspot list, the control window of the hotspot list is displayed, a Private Message control of at least one buddy and a No Interest control in the control window are displayed, and S207 or S208 is performed.
The second trigger operation may instruct the electronic device to display the control window of the hotspot list. The second trigger operation may be, for example, a long press on the first video play page or a click on a control window entry displayed on the first video play page.
Referring to
By way of example, the second trigger operation is a long press on the first video play page, and the electronic device displays the hotspot list on the first video play page. In this case, when wanting to trigger a control in the control window of the hotspot list, the user long presses the first video play page. Accordingly, when detecting the long press on the first video play page, the electronic device determines that the second trigger operation is received, displays the control window of the hotspot list, and displays a Private Message control of at least one buddy and a No Interest control in the control window.
In S207, in response to receiving a first click operation on the No Interest control, the hotspot list is deleted from the video stream of the first video play page, the next video in the video stream is played, and the operation is ended.
The first click operation may be construed as a click on the No Interest control in the control window of the hotspot list. When triggered, the No Interest control can instruct the electronic device to delete the hotspot list from the video stream of the first video play page.
When the user is not interested in the hotspot list displayed on the first video play page, the user may long press the first video play page to instruct the electronic device to pop up the control window of the hotspot list and click the No Interest control in the control window. Accordingly, when detecting the click on the No Interest control in the control window of the hotspot list, the electronic device determines that the first click operation is received, deletes the hotspot list from the video stream of the first video play page, plays the next video of the target video in the video stream of the first video play page, and may send a push reduction request to the server to request the server to reduce the number of times the hotspot list is pushed to the user or request the server to stop pushing the hotspot list to the user.
In S208, in response to receiving a second click operation on a Private Message control of a target buddy, the hotspot list is sent to the target buddy, where the target buddy corresponds to the Private Message control clicked through the second click operation.
The second click operation may be construed as a click on the Private Message control corresponding to a buddy in the control window of the hotspot list. Accordingly, the target buddy is the buddy corresponding to the Private Message control clicked by the user. When triggered, the Private Message control can instruct the electronic device to send the hotspot list to the buddy corresponding to the Private Message control.
When wanting to send the hotspot list displayed on the first video play page to a buddy, the user may long press the first video play page to instruct the electronic device to pop up the control window of the hotspot list and may click, in the control window of the hotspot list, the Private Message control of the buddy to whom the user wants to send the hotspot list. Accordingly, when detecting the click on the Private Message control of the buddy in the control window of the hotspot list, the electronic device determines that the second click operation is received and sends the hotspot list displayed on the first video play page to the buddy corresponding to the Private Message control clicked by the second click operation.
In the hotspot list display method of this embodiment, a hotspot video in the hotspot list can be played and switched so that the user can select and view a hotspot video in a targeted manner.
