Abstract

A multimedia playing method includes obtaining, by a terminal, an identifier of a playback device, determining, by the terminal, a multimedia resource category based on a correspondence between the identifier and the multimedia resource category, playing, by the terminal via the playback device, a multimedia resource corresponding to the category. When the terminal is connected to different playback devices, the terminal may play multimedia resources of different categories via the playback devices based on identifiers of the playback devices, to implement an intelligent service of the terminal.

Claims (47)

1. A multimedia resource playing method implemented by a terminal, wherein the multimedia resource playing method comprises:

obtaining a first identifier of a playback device;

determining a multimedia resource category based on a first correspondence between the first identifier and the multimedia resource category, wherein the multimedia resource category comprises at least one of an audio, a video, or an image;

playing, via the playback device, a multimedia resource corresponding to the multimedia resource category; and

determining, based on a second correspondence between the first identifier, a multimedia resource category affecting factor, and the multimedia resource category, a category corresponding to the first identifier and the multimedia resource category affecting factor, wherein the multimedia resource category affecting factor comprises one or more of a time, a location of the terminal, weather, or an environment.

2. The multimedia resource playing method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a scenario based on a second correspondence between the first identifier and the scenario, wherein the playback device is associated with the scenario; and

determining the multimedia resource category based on a third correspondence between the scenario and the multimedia resource category.

3. The multimedia resource playing method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving a scenario input operation on the terminal; and

establishing, in response to the scenario input operation, the second correspondence.

4. The multimedia resource playing method of claim 1 , wherein the first identifier uniquely identifies the playback device.

5. The multimedia resource playing method of claim 4 , wherein the first identifier comprises a media access control (MAC) address of the playback device or a product serial number of the playback device.

6. The multimedia resource playing method of claim 1 , wherein the first identifier represents a type of the playback device.

7. The multimedia resource playing method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining to disconnect from the playback device; and

recording, in response to determining to disconnect from the playback device, a second identifier of the multimedia resource and playing progress of the multimedia resource.

8. The multimedia resource playing method according of claim 7 , further comprising:

determining to reconnect to the playback device,

querying the playing progress based on the second identifier; and

resuming playing the multimedia resource via the playback device based on the playing progress.

9. The multimedia resource playing method of claim 1 , further comprising updating the multimedia resource corresponding to the multimedia resource category.

10. The multimedia resource playing method of claim 1 , further comprising obtaining the first identifier based on a digital signal from a conversion device.

11. The multimedia resource playing method of claim 1 , wherein before playing the multimedia resource, the multimedia resource paying method further comprises reading the multimedia resource corresponding to the multimedia resource category from a locally stored multimedia resource library.

12. The multimedia resource playing method of claim 1 , wherein before playing the multimedia resource, the multimedia resource playing method further comprises downloading the multimedia resource corresponding to the multimedia resource category from a server.

13. A multimedia resource playing apparatus used in a terminal, wherein the multimedia resource playing apparatus comprises:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the instructions cause the processor to be configured to:

obtain a first identifier of a playback device;

determine a multimedia resource category based on a first correspondence between the first identifier and the multimedia resource category, wherein the multimedia resource category comprises at least one of an audio, a video, or an image;

play a multimedia resource corresponding to the multimedia resource category via the playback device; and

determine, based on a second correspondence between the first identifier,

a multimedia resource category affecting factor, and the multimedia resource category, a category corresponding to the first identifier and the multimedia resource category affecting factor, wherein the multimedia resource category affecting factor comprises one or more of a time, a location of the terminal, weather, or an environment.

14. The multimedia resource playing apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to be further configured to update the multimedia resource corresponding to the multimedia resource category.

15. A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, executed by a processor, cause an apparatus to:

obtain a first identifier of a playback device;

determine a multimedia resource category based on a first correspondence between the first identifier and the multimedia resource category, wherein the multimedia resource category comprises at least one of an audio, a video, or an image;

play, via the playback device, a multimedia resource corresponding to the multimedia resource category; and

determine, based on a second correspondence between the first identifier, a multimedia resource category affecting factor, and the multimedia resource category, a category corresponding to the first identifier and the multimedia resource category affecting factor, wherein the multimedia resource category affecting factor comprises one or more of a time, a location of the terminal, weather, or an environment.

16. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the apparatus to:

determining a scenario based on a second correspondence between the first identifier and the scenario, wherein the playback device is associated with the scenario; and

determining the multimedia resource category based on a third correspondence between the scenario and the multimedia resource category.

17. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the apparatus to:

receive a scenario input operation on the terminal; and

establish, in response to the scenario input operation, the second correspondence.

18. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the first identifier uniquely identifies the playback device.

19. The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein the first identifier comprises a media access control address of the playback device or a product serial number of the playback device.
