Abstract

The disclosure relates to mobile terminal technology field, and in particular, to an online video playing method, apparatus and computer-readable medium, the method comprising in response to detecting an access instruction to a video link on a webpage, scanning codes of the webpage; determining whether the codes of the webpage include a browser playing function, which is configured to generate a playing window with a predefined size in a browser to play the video; in response to the codes of the webpage include the browser playing function, acquiring a video content corresponding to the video link from a server indicated by the video link; invoking the browser playing function, generating the playing window with the predefined size in the browser, and playing the video content in the playing window with the predefined size.

Claims

1. An online video playing method, comprising:

in response to detecting an access instruction to a video link on a webpage, scanning a code of the webpage;

determining whether the code of the webpage comprises a browser playing function, the browser playing function being configured to generate a playing window with a predefined size in a browser to play a video;

acquiring a video content corresponding to the video link from a server pointed to by the video link if the code of the webpage includes the browser playing function; and

invoking the browser playing function, generating the playing window with the predefined size in the browser, and playing the video content in the playing window with the predefined size.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

in response to that the code of the webpage does not include the browser playing function, invoking a video player of a mobile terminal, so that the video player loads and plays the video content from the server according to the video link.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising before detecting an access instruction to a video link on a webpage, presetting a javascript label including the browser playing function in the code of the webpage.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of acquiring a video content corresponding to the video link from a server pointed to by the video link comprises:

determining a video format suitable for playing by a mobile terminal according to an operating system of the mobile terminal;

sending a loading request to the server pointed to by the video link, the loading request carrying the video format suitable for playing by the mobile terminal; and

receiving the video content corresponding to the video link in the video format suitable for playing by the mobile terminal returned from the server.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of invoking the browser playing function, generating the playing window with the predefined size in the browser, and playing the video content in the playing window with the predefined size comprises:

acquiring a playing parameter in the browser playing function, the playing parameter including the predefined size;

generating the playing window with the predefined size in the browser; and

playing the video content in the playing window with the predefined size.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the playing parameter further comprises a playing window position, and the step of generating the playing window with the predefined size in the browser comprises:

generating the playing window with the predefined size at the playing window position in the browser.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein a local video player of a mobile terminal is not invoked in response to that the code of the webpage includes the browser playing function.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the generated playing window is floating in front of the browser.

9. An online video playing apparatus, comprising:

scanning unit, configured to in response to detecting an access instruction to a video link on a webpage, scan a code of the webpage;

determining unit, configured to determine whether the code of the webpage includes a browser playing function, the browser playing function being configured to generate a playing window with a predefined size in a browser to play a video;

acquiring unit, configured to in response to that the code of the webpage includes the browser playing function, acquire a video content corresponding to the video link from a server pointed to by the video link;

playing unit, configured to invoke the browser playing function, generate the playing window with the predefined size in the browser, and play the video content in the playing window with the predefined size.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising:

invoking unit, configured to in response to that the code of the webpage does not include the browser playing function, invoke a video player of a mobile terminal, so that the video player loads and plays the video content from the server according to the video link.

11. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising predefining unit, configured to predefine a javascript label including the browser playing function in the code of the webpage.

12. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the acquiring unit includes:

determining subunit, configured to determine a video format suitable for playing by a mobile terminal according to an operating system of the mobile terminal;

sending subunit, configured to send a loading request to the server pointed to by the video link, the loading request carrying the video format suitable for playing by the mobile terminal; and

receiving subunit, configured to receive the video content corresponding to the video link in the video format suitable for playing by the mobile terminal returned from the server.

13. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the playing unit comprises:

acquiring subunit, configured to acquire a playing parameter in the browser playing function, the playing parameter including the predefined size;

generating subunit, configured to generate the playing window with the predefined size in the browser; and

playing subunit, configured to play the video content in the playing window with the predefined size.

14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the playing parameter includes a playing window position, and the generating subunit is configured to generate the playing window with the predefined size at the playing window position in the browser.

15. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein a local video player of a mobile terminal is not invoked in response to that the code of the webpage includes the browser playing function.

16. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the generated playing window is floating in front of the browser.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium, with a computer executable program stored thereon, the computer executable program, when being run, executes an online video playing method, comprising:

in response to detecting an access instruction to a video link on a webpage, scanning a code of the webpage;

determining whether the code of the webpage includes a browser playing function, the browser playing function being configured to generate a playing window with a predefined size in a browser to play a video;

in response to that the code of the webpage includes the browser playing function, acquiring a video content corresponding to the video link from a server pointed to by the video link; and

invoking the browser playing function, generating the playing window with the predefined size in the browser, and playing the video content in the playing window with the predefined size.
