It is apparent that the accompanying drawings described below merely cover certain embodiments of the present disclosure and that those skilled in the art can obtain, without exerting creative efforts, other drawings from these accompanying drawings.
Particular embodiments of the present disclosure have been shown with reference to the above accompanying drawings, and more detailed descriptions will be given hereinafter. These accompanying drawings and literal descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure concepts by any means, but rather the present disclosure concepts are explained with reference to the particular embodiments for those skilled in the art.
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are described in details with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In step S110, a first pressing operation on a multimedia list page by a user is detected. Wherein, the multimedia content can be video and/or audio. The multimedia list page is a window provided by a mobile terminal for users to browse videos and/or audios. The mobile terminal may include but is not limited to mobile phones, tablet PCs and/or smart TV sets. Specifically, a variety of gesture operations may be operated on the mobile terminal, such as tap operation, light press operation, hard press operation and so on. For example, if a user wants to view a video and/or an audio content, he/she needs to click a replay button on the mobile terminal; a pressure sensor equipped in the mobile terminal may detect the tap operation of the user, and then the mobile terminal sends to a server a request message for replaying the video and/or the audio. In the present embodiment, the first pressing is a hard press operation. Compared with the tap operation, intensities of the hard press operations detected by the pressure sensor are different, and the request messages sent to the server are different as well.
In step S120, in response to the first pressing operation, a previewing request message of the object operated by the first pressing operation is sent to the server, when the intensity of the detected first pressing operation is greater than a pressure threshold. Specifically, a user performs the first pressing operation on the multimedia list page displayed by the mobile terminal, and the intensity (such as 5 Newtons) of the first pressing operation is greater than the pressure threshold. After the mobile terminal detects the first pressing operation, it may send a server a previewing request message of the object which is on the multimedia list page and is operated by the first pressing operation. For example, when browsing a multimedia list page of videos and/or audios, the user wants to view the introduction of a certain video and/or audio on the multimedia list page, the pressure sensor detects a hard press operation operated by the user, the mobile terminal sends the previewing request message of the video and/or the audio to the server.
In step S130, in response to the previewing request message, the previewing information of the object operated by the first pressing operation is displayed in a form of a floating window. Specifically, the server receives the previewing request message of the multimedia content, and then sends back the previewing information of the object operated by the first pressing operation to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal receives the previewing information of the object operated by the first pressing operation and displays the previewing information in the form of a floating window. Optionally, with respect to the content details page of the video and/or the audio, the previewing information can be a brief introduction of the video and/or the audio. For example, the brief introduction can include but not be limited to the owner and/or the abstract of the multimedia content, and the creators/the performers of the video and/or the audio.
In step S210, a first pressing operation on a multimedia list page by a user is detected.
In step S220, in response to the first pressing operation, a previewing request message of an object operated by the first pressing operation is sent to a server, when the intensity of the detected first pressing operation is greater than a pressure threshold.
In step S230, in response to the previewing request message, previewing information of the object operated by the first pressing operation is displayed in a form of a floating window.
Wherein, the contents of the step S210, the step S220 and the step S230 respectively correspond to those of the step S110, the step S120 and the step S130 in the above embodiment, and the functions and the principles of them are the same, which will be omitted herein. It should be noted, in the present embodiment, whether the floating window can be displayed continuously is based on whether the user's first pressing operation persists. If the first pressing operation persists, the floating window will be displayed continuously.
On the basis of the above steps, the method for previewing multimedia contents of the present embodiment can further include step S240 and step S250.
In step S240, when it is detected that the first pressing operation operated by the user lasts predetermined time duration, a playback request message of the object operated by the first pressing operation is sent to the server.
Specifically, when the time duration of the first pressing operation operated by the user on the multimedia list page shown in the mobile terminal lasts the predetermined time duration, the mobile terminal will send a playback request message of the object which is operated by the first pressing operation on the multimedia list page. In the present embodiment, the predetermined time duration can be set arbitrarily, such as 3 seconds or 5 seconds. For example, after browsing the brief introduction of the video and/or the audio in the floating window, if the user wants to view the video and/or the audio, the user can hard, long press the current page, and when the time duration lasts a predetermined time duration, the mobile terminal will send the playback request message of the video and/or the audio to the server.
In step S250, in response to the playback request message, playback information of the object operated by the first pressing operation is displayed in a new window.
Specifically, after the server receives the playback request message of the multimedia contents, the mobile terminal displays the playback information of the multimedia contents in a new window. For example, after receiving the playback request message of the video and/or the audio, the server informs the mobile terminal, which then will switch to the next window and enter into the playback content details page of the video and/or the audio. Then the user clicks the information of the playback content details page, and a certain segment of the video and/or the audio can be replayed.
Further, the above method can further include, in response to a release operation for the first pressing operation operated by the user, the floating window is closed. Specifically, the mobile terminal detects that the user stops the first pressing operation and determines that a release operation for the first pressing operation is received. Then the mobile terminal closes the floating window, and the user can continue to view the multimedia list page. For example, after opening the floating window to browse the previewing information of the video and/or the audio, the user releases the hard press operation, the pressure sensor senses the release operation and sends a command of closing the floating window to mobile terminal, then the mobile terminal closes the floating window, which avoids unnecessary traffic loss causing by the mobile terminal switching to the next window.
In the present embodiment, the time duration from the hard press operation to the release operation of the user cannot exceed predetermined time duration. Otherwise the mobile terminal will switch to the next window. Because users need to browse the contents in the floating window and the amount of the contents are different based on the different videos and/or audios, the predetermined time duration optionally can be different for videos and/or audios.
