Abstract

A method for controlling a playing state, includes: upon receipt of a starting event triggered by a peripheral component of a smart device, acquiring rotating information of the smart device; and controlling a playing state of content which is currently being played, according to the starting event and the rotating information.

Claims

1. A method for controlling a playing state, comprising:

upon receipt of a starting event triggered by a peripheral component of a smart device, acquiring rotating information of the smart device; and

controlling a playing state of content which is currently being played, according to the starting event and the rotating information.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the peripheral component is a physical button disposed outside of a housing of the smart device, or a physical button on a remote control device bound with the smart device, and the starting event is triggered by receiving an operation on the physical button.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the peripheral component is a virtual button displayed on the smart device, or a virtual button displayed oh a remote control device bound with the smart device, and the starting event is triggered by receiving an operation on the virtual button.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the acquiring rotating information of the smart device comprises:

acquiring the rotating information through a sensor inside the smart device.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the acquiring rotating information of the smart device comprises:

acquiring the rotating information through a remote control device bound with the smart device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein when the rotating information includes rotating direction information, the method further comprises:

controlling a playing direction of the content which is currently being played, according to the rotating direction information.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein when the rotating information includes rotating angle information, the method further comprises:

controlling a playing position of the content which s currently being played, according to the rotating angle information.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein when the information includes rotating speed information, the method further comprises:

controlling a playing speed of the content which is currently being displayed, according to the rotating speed information.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

during fast playing of a video which is currently being played, displaying a preview image of the video according to a progress of the fast playing.

10. A terminal for controlling a playing state, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to;

upon receipt of a starting event triggered by a peripheral component to a smart device, acquire rotating information of the smart device; and

control a playing state of content which is currently being played, according to the starting event and the rotating information.

11. The terminal of claim 10, herein the peripheral component is a physical button disposed outside of a housing of the smart device, oar a physical button on a remote control device bound with the smart device, and the starting event is triggered by receiving an operation on the physical button.

12. The terminal of claim 10, wherein the peripheral component is a virtual button displayed on the smart device, or a virtual button displayed on a remote control device bound with the smart device, and the starting event is triggered by receiving an operation on the virtual button.

13. Thee terminal of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire the rotating information through a sensor inside the smart device.

14. The terminal of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire the rotating information through a remote control device bound with the smart device.

15. The terminal of claim 10, wherein when the rotating information includes rotating direction information, the processor is further configured to:

control a playing direction of the content which is currently being played, according to the rotating direction information.

16. The terminal of claim 10, wherein when the rotating information includes rotating angle information, the processor is further configured to control a playing position of the content which is currently being played, according to the rotating angle information.

17. The terminal of claim 10, wherein when the rotating information includes rotating speed information, the processor is further configured to:

control a playing speed of the content which is currently being played, according to the rotating speed information.

18. The terminal of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to:

during fast playing of a video which is currently being played, display a preview image of the video according to a progress of the fast playing.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a terminal, cause the terminal to perform a method for controlling a playing state, the method comprising:

upon receipt of a starting event triggered by a peripheral component of a smart device, acquiring rotating information of the smart device; and

controlling a playing state of content which is currently being played, according to the starting event and the rotating information.
