Abstract

Claims (54)

1. A method, comprising:

playing, by a media player application, a video through a media player interface of a mobile device including a touchscreen;

detecting a first input over the media player interface while the media player application is playing the video; wherein the detecting the first input comprises:

detecting an initial input, wherein the initial input comprises making contact with the touchscreen;

in response to detecting the initial input, displaying a first display object by the media player application, wherein the first display object indicates an action that will subsequently be performed if a first additional input is detected while the contact with the touchscreen is maintained, and the action comprises modifying a current output of the video;

after the first display object is displayed in response to detecting the initial input, detecting the first additional input while the contact with the touchscreen is maintained; and

in response to detecting the first additional input while the contact with the touchscreen is maintained, starting to perform the action; and

when the action is performed, displaying a second display object by the media player application, wherein the second display object indicates a preview of the media player interface.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first display object further indicates the first additional input.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first input is completed when the first additional input is detected.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting a second input over the media player interface while the media player application is playing the video; wherein the detecting the second input comprises:

detecting a second initial input, wherein the second initial input comprises making contact with the touchscreen;

in response to detecting the second initial input, displaying a second display object by the media player application, wherein the second display object indicates the action;

detecting a second additional input while the contact with the touchscreen is maintained, wherein the first additional input and the second additional input are different; and

in response to detecting the second additional input, refrain from performing the action.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second additional input comprises removing the contact from the touchscreen.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second display object includes a thumbnail image.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a rate at which the second display object appears is faster than a rate of completion of the first input.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the video is a network video, and the first display object includes at least one of a media player control symbol or text.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a touch point of the initial input is on a location where a content of the video is displayed, and the location is different from a second location where a control component is displayed.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first additional input comprises a swipe gesture over the media player interface.

11. A terminal device, comprising:

a touchscreen;

one or more processors; and

a memory, wherein one or more programs are stored in the memory, wherein the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the terminal device to perform operations comprising:

playing, by a media player application, a video through a media player interface of the terminal device;

detecting a first input over the media player interface while the media player application is playing the video; wherein the detecting the first input comprises:

detecting an initial input, wherein the initial input comprises making contact with the touchscreen;

in response to detecting the initial input, displaying a first display object by the media player application, wherein the first display object indicates an action that will subsequently be performed if a first additional input is detected while the contact with the touchscreen is maintained, and the action comprises modifying a current output of the video;

after the first display object is displayed in response to detecting the initial input, detecting the first additional input while the contact with the touchscreen is maintained; and

in response to detecting the first additional input while the contact with the touchscreen is maintained, starting to perform the action; and

when the action is performed, displaying a second display object by the media player application, wherein the second display object indicates a preview of the media player interface.

12. The terminal device of claim 11 , wherein the first display object further indicates the first additional input.

13. The terminal device of claim 11 , wherein the first input is completed when the first additional input is detected.

14. The terminal device of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:

detecting, by the touchscreen, a second input over the media player interface while the media player application is playing the video; wherein the detecting the second input comprises:

detecting a second initial input, wherein the second initial input comprises making contact with the touchscreen;

in response to detecting the second initial input, displaying a second display object by the media player application, wherein the second display object indicates the action;

detecting a second additional input while the contact with the touchscreen is maintained, wherein the first additional input and the second additional input are different; and

in response to detecting the second additional input, refrain from performing the action.

15. The terminal device of claim 14 , wherein the second additional input comprises removing the contact from the touchscreen.

16. The terminal device of claim 11 , wherein the second display object includes a thumbnail image.

17. The terminal device of claim 11 , wherein a rate at which the second display object appears is faster than a rate of completion of the first input.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

playing, by a media player application, a video through a media player interface of a mobile device including a touchscreen;

detecting a first input over the media player interface while the media player application is playing the video; wherein the detecting the first input comprises:

detecting an initial input, wherein the initial input comprises making contact with the touchscreen;

in response to detecting the initial input, displaying a first display object by the media player application, wherein the first display object indicates an action that will subsequently be performed if a first additional input is detected while the contact with the touchscreen is maintained, and the action comprises modifying a current output of the video;

after the first display object is displayed in response to detecting the initial input, detecting the first additional input while the contact with the touchscreen is maintained; and

in response to detecting the first additional input while the contact with the touchscreen is maintained, starting to perform the action; and

when the action is performed, displaying a second display object by the media player application, wherein the second display object indicates a preview of the media player interface.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the first display object further indicates the first additional input.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the first input is completed when the first additional input is detected.
