Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for sharing media content. A first client extracts source address information of a first page and property information of media content displayed on the first page. The first client publishes on a second page, the source address information of the first page and the property information of the media content, so that a second client can determine, on the second page based on the property information of the media content, the media content on the first page corresponding to the source address information of the first page, and display the media content.

Claims

1-16. -16. (canceled)

17. A method for sharing media content, the method comprising:

extracting, by a first client, source address information of a first page and property information of media content displayed on the first page; and

publishing, by the first client on a second page, the source address information of the first page and the property information of the media content, so that a second client can determine, on the second page based on the property information of the media content, the media content on the first page corresponding to the source address information of the first page, and display the media content.

18. The method according to claim 17, wherein publishing the source address information of the first page and the property information of the media content comprises:

generating, by the first client, sharing information of the media content based on the source address information of the first page and the property information of the media content, wherein the sharing information of the media content comprises the source address information of the first page and the property information of the media content; and

publishing, by the first client on the second page, the sharing information of the media content.

19. The method according to claim 17, wherein the property information of the media content comprises at least one of identity information of the media content and tag information of the media content.

20. The method according to claim 19, wherein the identity information of the media content is name information of the media content or element ID information of the media content.

21. The method according to claim 17, wherein, before the extracting, the method further comprises monitoring, by the first client, whether a selecting operation performed by a user for the media content exists, wherein the first client extracts the source address information of the first page and the property information of the media content when the first client intercepts the selecting operation.

22. A method for displaying media content, the method comprising:

acquiring, by a second client from a second page, source address information of a first page and property information of media content displayed on the first page; and

determining, by the second client based on the property information of the media content, the media content on the first page corresponding to the source address information of the first page, and displaying the media content.

23. The method according to claim 22, wherein acquiring the source address information of a first page and the property information of media content displayed on the first page comprises:

acquiring, by the second client, sharing information of the media content from the second page, wherein the sharing information of the media content comprises the source address information of the first page and the property information of the media content; and

parsing, by the second client, the sharing information of the media content to obtain the source address information of the first page and the property information of the media content.

24. The method according to claim 22, wherein determining the media content on the first page corresponding to the source address information of the first page, and displaying the media content comprises:

creating, by the second client, a floating window dynamically;

loading, by the second client, the first page in the floating window based on the source address information of the first page;

determining, by the second client on the first page which is in the floating window, the media content based on the property information of the media content; and

displaying, by the second client, the media content by using the floating window.

25. The method according to claim 22, wherein the property information of the media content comprises identity information of the media content or tag information of the media content.

26. The method according to claim 24, wherein determining the media content based on the property information of the media content comprises:

when the second client can determine the media content based on the identity information of the media content on the first page which is in the floating window, determining, by the second client on the first page, the media content based on the identity information of the media content; and

/or

when the second client cannot determine, on the first page, the media content based on the identity information of the media content, determining, by the second client on the first page, the media content based on the identity information of the media content and the tag information of the media content.

27. An apparatus for sharing media content, the apparatus comprising:

a first display, configured to display a first page; and

a first processor, configured to extract source address information of the first page and property information of media content displayed on the first page and publish, on a second page, the source address information of the first page and the property information of the media content.

28. The apparatus according to claim 27, wherein the first processor is specifically configured to generate sharing information of the media content based on the source address information of the first page and the property information of the media content, wherein the sharing information of the media content comprises the source address information of the first page and the property information of the media content and to publish, on the second page, the sharing information of the media content.

29. The apparatus according to claim 27, wherein the property information of the media content comprises identity information of the media content or tag information of the media content.

30. An apparatus for displaying media content, the apparatus comprising:

a second processor, configured to acquire, from a second page, source address information of a first page and property information of media content displayed on the first page and to determine, based on the property information of the media content, the media content on the first page corresponding to the source address information of the first page, and to control a second display to display the media content.

31. The apparatus according to claim 30, wherein the second processor is specifically configured to acquire sharing information of the media content from the second page, wherein the sharing information of the media content comprises the source address information of the first page and the property information of the media content and to parse the sharing information of the media content to obtain the source address information of the first page and the property information of the media content.

32. The apparatus according to claim 30, wherein the second processor is specifically configured to:

create a floating window dynamically;

load the first page in the floating window based on the source address information of the first page;

determine, on the first page which is in the floating window, the media content based on the property information of the media content; and

control the floating window to display the media content on the second display.
