Abstract

The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and devices adjusting multimedia playing progress. In one implementation, a method includes playing, by a terminal, a multimedia file; receiving, by the terminal, a user input indicating a fast-forward operation that is for a playing progress of the multimedia file and that is input by a user; obtaining, by the terminal, a fast-forward record of the multimedia file; and automatically adjusting, by the terminal, the playing progress of the multimedia file according to the fast-forward record.

Claims (41)

1. A method for adjusting multimedia playing progress, wherein the method comprises:

playing, by a terminal, a multimedia file;

receiving, by the terminal, a user input indicating a fast-forward operation fora playing progress of the multimedia file;

obtaining, by the terminal, a fast-forward record of the multimedia file, wherein the obtaining, by the terminal, the fast-forward record of the multimedia file comprises:

presetting the fast-forward record in the multimedia file, and obtaining, by the terminal, the fast-forward record by reading file information of the multimedia file; or

obtaining, by the terminal from a stored fast-forward record, the fast-forward record for the multimedia file; or

obtaining, by the terminal, the fast-forward record of the multimedia file from a server, wherein the fast-forward record comprises a fast-forward category, and the fast-forward record of the multimedia file is obtained according to the fast-forward category, wherein the fast-forward category comprises a leading role, a dialogue scene and specific object emergence,

the method further comprising:

automatically adjusting, by the terminal, the playing progress of the multimedia file according to the fast-forward record.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fast-forward record comprises time information and a priority, the time information comprises a video location and duration; and wherein

the automatically adjusting, by the terminal, the playing progress of the multimedia file according to the fast-forward record comprises:

automatically adjusting, by the terminal, the playing progress of the multimedia file to the video location according to the priority in the fast-forward record.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fast-forward record is added to the multimedia file by extending a type of a header file.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the server stores fast-forward records that are made by different terminals for the multimedia file and performs analysis on the fast-forward records; and the fast-forward record is obtained from an analyzed fast-forward record of the multimedia file from the server.

5. A terminal, wherein the terminal comprises:

a non-transitory memory storage comprising instructions; and

one or more hardware processors in communication with the memory storage, wherein the one or more hardware processors execute the instructions to:

play a multimedia file;

receive a user input indicating a fast-forward operation for a playing progress of the multimedia file;

obtain a fast-forward record of the multimedia file, wherein the one or more hardware processors execute the instructions to:

obtain the fast-forward record by reading file information of the multimedia file, wherein the fast-forward record is preset in the multimedia file; or

obtain, from a stored fast-forward record, the fast-forward record for the multimedia file; or

obtain the fast-forward record of the multimedia file from a server, wherein the fast-forward record comprises a fast-forward category, and the one or more hardware processors execute the instructions to obtain the fast-forward record of the multimedia file according to the fast-forward category, and wherein the fast-forward category comprises a leading role, a dialogue scene, and specific object emergence, and

wherein the one or more hardware processors further execute the instructions to:

automatically adjust the playing progress of the multimedia file according to the fast-forward record.

6. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the fast-forward record comprises time information and a priority, the time information comprises a video location and duration; and the one or more hardware processors execute the instructions to:

automatically adjust the playing progress of the multimedia file to the video location according to the priority in the fast-forward record.

7. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the fast-forward record is added to the multimedia file by extending a type of a header file.

8. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the server stores fast-forward records that are made by different terminals for the multimedia file and performs analysis on the fast-forward records; and the one or more hardware processors execute the instructions to obtain the fast-forward record from an analyzed fast-forward record of the multimedia file from the server.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions for adjusting multimedia playing progress, that when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:

playing a multimedia file;

receiving a user input indicating a fast-forward operation for a playing progress of the multimedia file;

obtaining a fast-forward record of the multimedia file, wherein obtaining the fast-forward record of the multimedia file comprises:

obtaining the fast-forward record by reading file information of the multimedia file, wherein the fast-forward record is preset in the multimedia file; or

obtaining, from a stored fast-forward record, the fast-forward record for the multimedia file; or

obtaining the fast-forward record of the multimedia file from a serve, wherein the fast-forward record comprises a fast-forward category, and the fast-forward record of the multimedia file is obtained according to the fast-forward category, and wherein the fast-forward category comprises a leading role, a dialogue scene, and specific object emergence,

wherein, when executed by one or more hardware processors, the computer instructions further cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:

automatically adjusting the playing progress of the multimedia file according to the fast-forward record.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 9 , wherein the fast-forward record comprises time information and a priority, the time information comprises a video location and duration; and wherein the automatically adjusting the playing progress of the multimedia file according to the fast-forward record comprises:

automatically adjusting the playing progress of the multimedia file to the video location according to the priority in the fast-forward record.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 9 , wherein the fast-forward record is added to the multimedia file by extending a type of a header file.
