Abstract

Described is a method for video processing.

creating the video playback window based on the first instruction;

suspending a playback of the video on the page;

recording a progress of the video where the playback of the video is suspended as a first progress; and

playing the video on the video playback window by using the first progress as a starting point for playing the video, based on the URL.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein an area of the video playback window is smaller than the page.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the pages further comprise a web page, and when a user browses the web page, the web page and the video playback window are simultaneously in an interface foreground display state,

wherein during playing the video on the video playback window, if the user browses the page having the video playback region, and the video playback region is out of a visible region of the page, the page having the video playback region and the video playback window are simultaneously in the interface foreground display state.

4. The method according to claim 1, comprising:

generating the first instruction, when detecting that the video playback region of the page on which the video is being played is removed out of a visible region of the page.

5. The method according to claim 1, comprising:

generating the first instruction, when detecting that a user performs a first operation on the page where the video is being played.

6. The method according to claim 1, comprising:

generating the first instruction, when detecting that the page where the video is being played is switched from an interface foreground display state to a non-interface foreground display state.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the video is played on the video playback region on the page, and the method further comprises:

detecting whether the video playback region is within the visible region of the page; and

keeping the video playback window playing the video, in a case that it is detected that the video playback region is not within the visible region of the page.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein after controlling the video playback window to play the video, the method further comprises:

obtaining a second instruction, wherein the second instruction is configured to instruct a switch from a playback of the video on the video playback window to a playback of the video on the page and comprises at least information of a second progress of the video played on the video playback window; and

closing the video playback window and controlling the page to play the video on the video playback region from the second progress, based on the second instruction.

9. The method according to claim 8, further comprising:

generating the second instruction, when detecting that the page is in an interface foreground display state, and that the visible region of the page includes a complete video playback region for playing the video.

10. The method according to claim 8, further comprising:

generating the second instruction, when detecting that the page is in an interface foreground display state, the visible region of the page includes a complete video playback region for playing the video, and a second operation of the user is obtained.

11. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

associating complete video data of the video with the URL and storing the complete video data and the URL in a database after obtaining the complete video data of the video.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein before the first instruction is obtained, the method further comprises:

obtaining a video playback instruction of the page, querying the database based on the URL in the video playback instruction, and when matched complete video data are queried, invoking the complete video data to play the video on the video playback region of the page.

13. The method according to claim 12, wherein the first instruction further comprises a database storage address of the complete video data;

and

the playing the video on the video playback window by using the first progress as the starting point for playing the video based on the URL comprises;

obtaining the corresponding video data from the database storage address based on the URL, and controlling the video playback window to play the video from the first progress based on the obtained video data.

14. An electronic device, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors,

wherein the memory stores program instructions, and when the program instructions are executed by the processor, the electronic device is configured to perform the following operations;

providing a display interface, where pages are displayed on the display interface, and the pages comprises a page having a video playback region;

playing a video on the page having the video playback region, and obtaining a first instruction during playing the video, wherein the first instruction is configured to create a video playback window on the display interface, and comprises at least a uniform resource locator URL of the page on which the video is played;

creating the video playback window according to the first instruction;

suspending a playback of the video on the page;

recording a progress of the video where the playback of the video is suspended as a first progress; and

playing the video on the video playback window by using the first progress as a starting point for playing the video, based on the URL.

15. The electronic device according to claim 14, wherein the page further comprises a web page, and when a user browses the web page, the web page and the video playback window are simultaneously in an interface foreground display state,

wherein during playing the video on the video playback window, if the user browses the page having the video playback region, and the video playback region is out of a visible region of the page, the page having the video playback region and the video playback window are simultaneously in the interface foreground display state.
