or the like, or, alternatively,

and in response to the selection operation aiming at the target video content object, displaying the associated video playing control of the target video content object.

The playing information of the original video is related information describing the playing condition of the original video, for example, the playing information may include a video playing progress, whether a specific content is included in a played video picture, and the like.

The preset control display condition can be set based on business requirements, so that when the playing information of the original video in the first video playing page meets the preset control display condition, the associated video playing control of the target video content object is displayed.

As an example, the original video is an interactive video of a stage performance, and the preset control display condition is a preset video playing progress, then, when the video playing progress of the interactive video in the first video playing page meets the preset video playing progress, the associated video playing controls of the performers can be displayed as shown in fig. 2f, where the associated video playing controls include the target video content object.

As another example, the preset control display condition may be that when the stage-major is pulled up to display all performers, then when the interactive video in the first video playing page is played to the stage-major to pull up to display all performers, the associated video playing control of each performer, which includes the target video content object, may be displayed as shown in fig. 2 f.

The selection operation for the target video content object may be a specific touch operation, such as a long-press operation, a double-click operation, a sliding operation, and the like. Non-touch operation, such as voice-triggered operation, program-triggered operation, etc., may also be possible. Optionally, the selection operation for the target video content object may also be a combination of a series of operations, which is not limited in this embodiment.

As an example, when the user's selection operation of the target video content object in fig. 2a, such as a double-click operation, is detected, the associated video playing control of the target video content object may be presented as shown in fig. 2f in response to the selection operation of the target video content object.

It is to be noted that, in some embodiments, if the video playing operation for the associated video playing control is not detected after the associated video playing control is displayed, the video playing condition of the first video playing page may be continued.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the current video state of the original video in the original video playing area may be synchronized with the current video state of the target video in each target video playing area.

The video state of the video may include a playing state, a pause state, whether there is a double speed, a video definition, a current playing progress, and the like.

As an example, the original video may be an interactive video of a stage performance, the target video may be a personal snapshot of each performer, and the playing state, the pause state, the double speed condition, the video definition, and the like of the original video in the original video playing area may be synchronized with the video state corresponding to the personal snapshot picture in each target video, so as to present a better playing effect.

As another example, the original video may be a live video promoting special local products of agriculture and countryside, including anchor a and several promoted special local products of agriculture and countryside. The target video can be a live video which is continuously broadcasted with the anchor A or a promotion video which introduces special local products in the county. The playing state, pause state, double speed condition, video definition and the like of the original video in the original video playing area can be synchronized with the video state corresponding to the personal direct-shot picture in each target video, so that a better playing effect is presented.

Optionally, the video playing method described in this application may further include:

acquiring current video state information of an original video in an original video playing area and current video state information of target videos in each target video playing area;

generating playing state synchronization data to be synchronized based on the acquired video state information;

and synchronizing the playing state synchronization data to the original player and each target video player through a broadcasting mechanism.

The video status information is related information describing a video status, and for example, the video status information may include the following key fields: the playing state, the pause state, the double speed condition, the video definition, the current playing progress and the like of the video.

The broadcast mechanism is a mechanism for data synchronization, and the message generator can send the information to be synchronized to the message receiver through the broadcast mechanism, so as to synchronize the information to be synchronized to the message receiver. The broadcast mechanism can be implemented in various ways, for example, by using Linux data synchronization command sync.

When the current video state of the original video in the original video playing area is to be synchronized with the current video state of the target video in each target video playing area, the current video state information of the original video in the original video playing area and the current video state information of the target video in each target video playing area can be firstly acquired, and the playing state synchronization data to be synchronized is generated based on the acquired video state information, so that the playing state synchronization data can be synchronized to the original player and each target video player through a broadcasting mechanism.

In an embodiment, the second video playing page includes an original video playing area and two target video playing areas, where, referring to fig. 2i, the original video playing area includes a second video picture of an original video a currently played by an original video player, one target video playing area includes a video picture of a target video B currently played by a target video player 1, and the other target video playing area includes a video picture of a target video C currently played by a target video player 2. The terminal can acquire the current video state information of the original video in the original video playing area and the current video state information of the target video in each target video playing area, and generate playing state synchronization data to be synchronized based on the acquired video state information, so that the playing state synchronization data can be synchronized to the original player and each target video player by calling a sync command.

By way of example, the simultaneous playing of multiple players may be supported by inserting an H5 player on the original player and synchronizing the play state synchronization data through a broadcast mechanism. Therefore, when the original player plays the original video A, the video state information between the target video B and the target video C can be synchronized through a broadcasting mechanism, so that multi-video seamless switching is realized, the definition among all video materials is not damaged, and a plurality of video streams are ensured to be positioned at the same playing node during switching.

In this embodiment of the present application, since the target video in the second video playing page may include an associated video having an association relationship with the original video, it is optional for this embodiment of the present application that: the original video may include an interactive video, the interactive video may include at least one scenario branch selection node and a scenario branch corresponding to the scenario branch selection node, the first video picture may include a video picture of the target scenario branch selection node, the at least one target video in the second video playing page may include a video clip of the target scenario branch, and the target scenario branch is the scenario branch corresponding to the target scenario branch selection node.

The scenario branch selection node of the interactive video is a scenario transition segment set for a user to participate in interaction, for example, in the interactive video taking a simulated life as a scenario, the scenario branch selection node of a university of which city is reported to a chief actor, the scenario branch node of which city the chief actor goes to after university graduation, and the like may be included.

For the plot branch selection node in the interactive video, a plot branch corresponding to the plot branch selection node can be set. For example, in an interactive video taking a simulated life as a scenario, for a scenario branch node of which city the chief deputy goes to after university graduation, 3 scenario branches including: and returning to the employment of the city of the hometown, and going to the employment of the other half of the city. The plot branch selection node in the interactive video may include a plurality of plot branches, and each plot branch may be provided with a corresponding video segment.

As an example, the original video may be an interactive short video of popular science popularization first aid knowledge, and the interactive short video may include at least one scenario branch selection node and scenario branches corresponding to the scenario branch selection nodes. For example, the first video frame may include video frames of the target scenario branch selection node: what should be done when bleeding from the nose? When it is detected that the user selects the scenario branch at the target scenario branch selection node, for example, after "head up" is selected, a second video playing page may be displayed, where at least one target video in the second video playing page includes the following video segments: when nosebleed occurs, the nose is raised upwards to cause the nosebleed to flow back into the trachea to cause asphyxia.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, it may be further configured to display the second video playing page when the playing information of the original video in the first video playing page meets a preset multi-video playing condition.

The preset multi-video playing condition can be set based on business requirements, so that when the playing information of the original video in the first video playing page meets the preset multi-video playing condition, the second video playing page is displayed.

As an example, the original video is an interactive video of a stage performance, and the preset multi-video playing condition is a preset video playing progress, then, when the video playing progress of the interactive video in the first video playing page meets the preset video playing progress, the second video playing page may be displayed as shown in fig. 2 d.

As another example, the preset control display condition may be that when the stage large screen is pulled up to display all performers, then when the interactive video in the first video playing page is played to the stage large screen to be pulled up to display all performers, the second video playing page may be displayed as shown in fig. 2 d.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the manner of displaying the second video playing page may be multiple, for example, the client may be provided with a function similar to a video favorite, and after the first video playing page is displayed, the second video playing page is displayed in combination with the function, specifically, the step "displaying the second video playing page" may include:

responding to the operation aiming at the first video playing page, and displaying a to-be-selected video list, wherein the to-be-selected video list comprises at least one candidate playing video;

and in response to the selection operation aiming at the candidate playing videos, displaying a second video playing page, wherein at least one target video comprises the candidate playing videos selected from the video list to be selected.

Similarly, the selection operation for the candidate playing video may be a specific touch operation, such as a long-press operation, a double-click operation, a sliding operation, and the like. Non-touch operation, such as voice-triggered operation, program-triggered operation, etc., may also be possible. Optionally, the operation of selecting the candidate playing video may also be a combination of a series of operations, which is not limited in this embodiment.

As an example, a list entry of a video list to be selected may be set at the first video screen of the first video playing page or at other areas of the first video playing page, and when a trigger operation for the list entry is detected, the video list to be selected shown in fig. 2j is shown, where the video list to be selected includes five candidate playing videos: video 1, video 2, video 3, video 4 and video 5. Further, when a selection operation for a candidate playing video is detected, for example, when a selection operation for a video 4 by a user is detected, a second video playing page as shown in fig. 2k is presented, where a target video presented in the second video playing page includes the video 4 selected by the user from the video list to be selected.

As can be seen from fig. 2j, for videos 1, 3, and 5 that are all in an unlocked state, that is, the user does not currently have the right to play these videos, when the second video playing page is presented in response to the selection operation on the candidate playing videos, the method may further include a step of performing right check on the candidate playing videos, specifically, the step "presenting the second video playing page in response to the selection operation on the candidate playing videos, where at least one target video includes a candidate playing video selected from the video list to be selected", may include:

responding to the selection operation aiming at the candidate playing video, and performing permission verification on the candidate playing video;

and when the verification is passed, displaying a second video playing page, wherein at least one target video comprises a candidate playing video passed by the verification.

The permission check performed on the candidate playing video may be used to determine whether the candidate playing video is currently a playable video. For example, the permission check may determine an unlocked state of the candidate played video, and if the candidate played video is in the unlocked state, the candidate played video is currently a playable video, such as video 2 and video 4 in fig. 2 j; if the candidate playing video is in the unlocked state, the candidate playing video is currently the unplayable video, such as video 1, video 3 and video 5 in fig. 2 j.

As an example, referring to fig. 2j, when the selection operation for the video 4 is detected, the authority of the video 4 may be checked, and when the check is passed, a second video playing page is shown as shown in fig. 2 k.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, at least one target playing area and the original video playing area may be arranged in an overlapping manner in the target direction.

The target direction may be set based on a requirement, and for example, when a video is played on a screen of the terminal, a direction pointing to the user may be used as the target direction, for example, a direction perpendicular to the screen and pointing to the user may be used as the target direction.

The multiple regions are arranged in a superposition mode in the target direction for description, and the arrangement condition of the multiple regions in the target direction has an overlapping or covering phenomenon among the regions.

There may be a plurality of situations where the at least one target playing area and the original video playing area are arranged in a superimposed manner in the target direction, for example, the direction pointing to the user may be used as the target direction, and referring to fig. 2l, the original video playing area, the target video playing area 1, and the target video playing area 2 may be distinguished through different filling.

Referring to fig. 2m, fig. 2m illustrates four examples of the target video playing area 1, the target video playing area 2, and the original video playing area arranged in a superimposed manner in the target direction. In example 1, the target video playing area 1 and the target video playing area 2 are both located at an upper layer of the original video playing area, and the original video playing area is only partially visible;

in example 2, the target video playing area 1 and the target video playing area 2 are both located at the upper layer of the original video playing area, and the original video playing area is completely invisible;

in example 3, the target video playing area 1 and the target video playing area 2 are both located on the upper layer of the original video playing area, and the target video playing area 2 is located on the upper layer of the target video playing area 1, and in addition, the area part of the upper layer covers the area of the lower layer, so that only the target video playing area 2 is fully visible, and both the target video playing area 1 and the original video playing area are only partially visible;

in example 4, the target video playing area 1 and the target video playing area 2 are both located on the upper layer of the original video playing area, and the target video playing area 2 is located on the upper layer of the target video playing area 1, and in addition, the area of the upper layer completely covers the area of the lower layer, so that only the target video playing area 2 is completely visible, and the target video playing area 1 and the original video playing area are both invisible.

In practical applications, there are many cases where at least one target playing area and the original video playing area are arranged in an overlapping manner in the target direction, and the above is only an example.

As the at least one target playing area and the original video playing area may be arranged in an overlapping manner in the target direction, optionally, in an embodiment, the original video playing area may be located at a bottom layer of the target direction, the second video picture of the original video playing area is in a pause playing state, the at least one target playing area is located at a top layer of the target direction, and the video picture of the top layer target playing area is in a playing state.

As an example, referring to fig. 2m, in examples 1 to 4 in fig. 2m, the original video playing areas are all located at the bottom layer of the target direction, and the second video picture of the original video playing area is in a paused playing state. In example 1 and example 2, the target video playing area 1 and the target video playing area 2 are located at the top layer of the target direction, and the video pictures in the target video playing area 1 and the target video playing area 2 are both in a playing state;

in example 2 and example 4, only the target video playback area 2 is located at the top layer of the target direction, and only the video picture in the target video playback area 2 is in the playback state.

Optionally, in another embodiment, the top-layer target video playing area may be closed in response to a closing operation for the top-layer target video playing area, and a playing state of a lower video playing area of the top-layer target video playing area is activated, where the lower video playing area is a video playing area of a lower layer of the top-layer target video playing area.

The closing operation for the top-level target video playing area may be a specific touch operation, such as a long-press operation, a double-click operation, a sliding operation, and the like. Non-touch operation, such as voice-triggered operation, program-triggered operation, etc., may also be possible. Optionally, the closing operation for the top-layer target video playing area may also be a combination of a series of operations, which is not limited in this embodiment.

For example, the direction pointing to the user may be used as the target direction, and the video playing areas arranged in an overlapping manner in the target direction may include the original video playing area and a target video playing area. Wherein, the original video playing area is located at the bottom layer of the target direction, and the original video playing area plays the video picture shown in fig. 2 a; the target video playing area is located at the top layer of the target direction, and the top layer target video playing area plays the video picture of the video 4 in fig. 2 j. In addition, the area of the upper layer completely covers the area of the lower layer, so that as shown in fig. 2k, only the top layer target video playing area is visible and in the playing state, while the original video playing area is invisible and in the paused playing state.

Then, as an example, when a closing operation for the top-level target video playing area is detected, such as a single-click operation for the closing control shown in 208 in fig. 2k, the top-level target video playing area is closed, and the playing state of the video playing area below the top-level target video playing area is activated, that is, the playing state of the original video playing area is activated, as shown in fig. 2 n.

Referring to fig. 2o, the above description introduces the video playing method described in the present application from the perspective of user experience, specifically, a video may be played at a client, and when an assembly appears in the video, if it is detected that a user clicks the assembly, a skip is made to a multi-video playing picture, otherwise, the original video is continuously played. Alternatively, the video playing method described in the present application may be introduced from the perspective of video production or Business end (B-end), specifically, a video creator may insert an authored video into an original video, add and edit a component effect, and then publish the video.

For example, if the original video is an interactive video, the component may be a general functional component in the interactive video, and the component gives interactive capabilities such as video branching scenario selection, view angle switching, and picture interaction.

Further, in this embodiment of the application, since the original video may include at least one video content object, the target video played by the target video playing area is a video associated with the video content object, and one video content object corresponds to one target video, in addition, the at least one target video includes an associated video associated with the target video content object, and an associated video playing control is set for the target video content object. The video playing method described in the present application may further include:

The video insertion component is a functional component for inserting the target video into the original video, for example, after clicking the video insertion component displayed at a Client (C-side), a user can simultaneously display the original video and the inserted target video, thereby realizing the playing effect of the multi-view multi-player.

The component configuration information is information describing a relevant configuration of the video insertion component, and for example, the component configuration information may include control attribute configuration information for showing an associated video playing control and associated video configuration information for playing an associated video.

And the control attribute configuration information of the associated video playing control is information describing the relevant attributes of the associated video playing control. For example, the control attribute configuration information may include special effect attributes of the associated video playing control, such as a special effect of generating a vibration or making a sound when the associated video playing control is clicked; for another example, the control attribute configuration information may include a style attribute of the associated video playing control, for example, a style such as a bubble style or a custom picture style may be selected; for another example, the control attribute configuration information may include a time attribute of the associated video playing control, such as setting a time when the associated video playing control appears or disappears; and so on.

The relevant video configuration information is the relevant configuration information describing the relevant video when the relevant video is played. For example, when the associated video is played through an H5 video player, the associated video configuration information may include an H5 jump address of the associated video, identification Information (ID) of the associated video, a video name of the associated video, and the like.

In the embodiment of the application, since the component configuration information includes control attribute configuration information for displaying the associated video playing control and associated video configuration information for playing the associated video, after the terminal acquires the component configuration information of the video insertion component, the terminal can display the associated video playing control and play the associated video by using the component configuration information.

Optionally, the step of "obtaining component configuration information of the video insertion component" may include:

displaying a video configuration page, wherein the video configuration page comprises an adding control of a video inserting component;

in response to the operation aiming at the adding control, showing a component configuration area of the video inserting component, wherein the component configuration area comprises an associated video configuration control and a property configuration control of the video inserting component;

in response to the operation of the associated video configuration control, acquiring associated video configuration information of an associated video associated with the video insertion component;

responding to the operation of configuring the control aiming at the attribute, and acquiring control attribute configuration information of the video insertion component;

and generating component configuration information of the video insertion component based on the associated video configuration information and the control attribute configuration information.

The representation form of the control in this embodiment may be an icon, an input box, a button, and the like.

The operation referred in the present application, such as an operation for adding a control, an operation for configuring a control associated with a video, or an operation for configuring a control for a property, may be a specific touch operation, such as a long-press operation, a double-click operation, a sliding operation, and so on. Non-touch operation, such as voice-triggered operation, program-triggered operation, etc., may also be possible. Alternatively, a combination of a series of operations may be also possible, and this embodiment does not limit this.

Wherein the component configuration area may be displayed in a video configuration page; or may be displayed in a component configuration area page separate from the video configuration page. The component configuration area and the video configuration page may be displayed simultaneously, and specifically include: the component configuration area can be displayed above the video configuration page in a floating layer mode; component configuration area and video configuration page split screen displays, and the like. Of course, the component configuration region and the video configuration page may also be displayed at different times, e.g., when a component configuration region view operation is received, a switch is made from the video configuration page to the render component configuration region page, and so on.

In an embodiment, the target video may be played by an H5 video player, and a video configuration page shown in fig. 2p may be presented at the terminal, wherein the video configuration page may include an add control of the video insertion component shown in 209.

The video configuration page shown in fig. 2p may further include a video preview area of the original video shown at 210, an ending setting control for the original video shown at 211, a branch setting control for the original video shown at 212, and the like.

When an operation for the add control shown in 209 is detected, such as a single click operation, a component configuration area of the video insertion component shown in fig. 2q may be shown, where the component configuration area may include an associated video configuration control of the video insertion component shown in 213 and a property configuration control of the video insertion component shown in 214.

As an example, the terminal may, in response to an operation directed to the associated video configuration control, enter a video ID of the associated video in the associated video configuration control, as shown at 213, to obtain associated video configuration information for the associated video associated with the video insertion component.

As an example, the terminal may set the appearance time of the video insertion component and whether the shake special effect is presented in the property configuration control as shown at 214 in response to an operation to configure the control for the property to acquire control property configuration information of the video insertion component.

Further, the terminal can generate the component configuration information of the video insertion component based on the associated video configuration information and the control attribute configuration information.

As can be seen from the above, the present embodiment may show a first video playing page of a client, where the first video playing page includes a video picture currently played by an original video player of the client, and the video picture is a first video picture of an original video; displaying a second video playing page, where the second video playing page includes an original video playing area and at least one target video playing area, the original video playing area includes a second video picture, and the second video picture is a video picture of an original video currently played by the original video player, where each target video playing area corresponds to one target video player, each target video playing area includes a video picture of a target video played by the corresponding video player, and the target video player is a video player different from the original video player in the client.

As can be seen from fig. 2r, in the present application, the multiple players play simultaneously, and the broadcast mechanism is used to synchronize the playing state synchronization data of each video to each player, so that peer-to-peer switching and flexible control of multiple players can be achieved, and the effect of high-quality multiple video playing can be flexibly controlled, for example, multi-picture on-screen and multi-view tracking can be achieved with high quality. Compared with the scheme of full-picture playing by multi-picture splicing and using a single player, the scheme has the advantages that the video definition is reduced due to the fact that multiple pictures exist on the single player and the size of the pictures is reduced, the complexity is higher, and the problem that the definition is reduced along with the increase of the pictures in the scheme is solved.

In addition, according to the scheme, a video creator can be stimulated to create and develop a novel play mode through the video insertion component, and the associated video play controls are set for the video content objects of the original video, so that a user can achieve multiple ending development or multi-view displayed pictures by triggering different numbers of the associated video play controls, and the video watching experience of the user is enriched.

The method described in the above examples is further described in detail below by way of example.

In the present embodiment, a description will be given taking an example in which the video playback method is executed by a terminal. As shown in fig. 3a, a video playing method specifically includes the following steps:

301. the terminal displays a first video playing page of the client, wherein the first video playing page comprises a video picture played by an original video player of the client at present, and the video picture is a first video picture of an original video.

In this embodiment, the video playing method may be introduced by using an original video as an interactive video.

Referring to fig. 3b, the interactive video integration technology framework may include 4 parts of interactive video production, interactive video packaging, interactive video transmission, and interactive video playing. In the interactive video end-to-end production process, firstly, interactive video production is required, then, interactive video signaling data, video streaming data and audio streaming data are packaged, compressed, intelligently coded and the like, and are distributed and transmitted to a user side, and finally, the user side watches and experiences video contents with different interactive types through various interactive modes. 302. The terminal responds to the operation of the first video playing page, a second video playing page is displayed, the second video playing page comprises an original video playing area and at least one target video playing area, the original video playing area comprises a second video picture, the second video picture is a video picture of an original video played through an original video player at present, each target video playing area corresponds to one target video player, each target video playing area comprises a video picture of a target video played through the corresponding video player, the target video player is a video player different from the original video player in the client, and the target video comprises an associated video having an association relation with the original video.

The manner of association with the video content object may be various, e.g., may be content-associated, subject-associated, etc. As an example, the target video in the second video playing page may be a video that shows the video content object in the first video playing page from other view angles or angles, and multi-view shooting and transmission put higher requirements on network transmission capability, so that end-to-end encoding and transmission efficiency of a video stream needs to be improved.

In this embodiment, the terminal may display the second video playing page by using the interactive video playing system, and the original video player may be a native player of the client, and the target video player may be an H5 video player. Referring to fig. 3c, the interactive video playing system can implement functions of playing, buffering, rendering, interacting and the like of the interactive video, and simultaneously collects user interactive data, and is mainly composed of a player, an interactive engine and an interactive component. The hierarchical structure of the interactive playing engine technology can better decouple the interactive control logic, the playing logic and the rendering logic, and can achieve the purpose of flexibly supporting the real-time interaction of the content and the user.

In the interactive video player, an interactive node is controlled through a signaling protocol to create, configure interactive node styles, monitor interactive behaviors and execute interactive instructions, and story lines among video clips are established through controlling the interactive node to construct intelligent association among video content, interactive events and user behaviors.

In this embodiment, in order to reduce the cost of making, transmitting, and distributing the interactive video service and improve the user interactive experience, the multi-view coding key technology shown in fig. 3d may be used in the scene of view switching

Compared with single-view Video, the data volume of multi-view Video increases linearly with the increase of the number of cameras, and in order to solve the problem of limited data storage volume, the joint Video group of ITU-T and MPEG proposes the multi-view Video Coding (MVC) standard to fully utilize inter-view redundancy to reduce the data volume transmitted or stored. MVC is a key technology in the field of future video communication, and is also a hot issue in research by the international video standardization organization.

Key technologies for MVC research include: a prediction structure of MVC, motion and disparity compensation of multi-view video, view image interpolation and color correction in multi-view video coding, and the like. At present, multi-view video coding is mainly designed based on an H.265/AVC coding framework, specifically, N paths of view videos shot by a camera array are input to an MVC coder in parallel at an input end, and videos of one or more views are recovered at a decoding end according to the selection of a user. Compared with the H.265/AVC standard, the MVC standard supports a flexible inter-view prediction structure to mine inter-view correlation, so that the coding efficiency is remarkably improved.

In addition, in order to further improve the effective utilization rate of terminal-oriented data transmission and the response efficiency during user interaction, a small slice technology is adopted on the front-end coding side, each slice can be as low as 200ms, and the required slices can be rapidly downloaded to a user terminal; meanwhile, a random frame insertion technology is adopted during encoding, and the video streams of different viewpoints can be switched within 1-2 frames.

Therefore, the multi-video playing can be realized through the multi-player, so that each video is presented in clear image quality, the video playing effect and the multi-video playing efficiency are greatly improved, and superior visual experience is brought to users. For example, in practical application, a stage video and a personal live-action video can be played simultaneously through the scheme; for another example, multi-view switching can be realized by playing personal live videos with different views, so that the video content is enriched and the effect is optimized; for another example, when the scheme is applied to the interactive video, the multi-bureau multi-exhibition performance and the multi-view flexibility of the interactive video can be perfectly combined, and the audience can independently select the watching view angle according to the interest to flexibly switch the machine position, so that the multi-bureau multi-exhibition performance and the multi-view flexibility of the interactive video are perfectly combined. Therefore, the scheme plays multiple videos through the multi-player, provides a high-quality clear picture, can meet diversified experience requirements of audiences, and provides more diversified and wonderful interactive experience for the audiences.

In order to better implement the method, correspondingly, the embodiment of the application further provides a video playing device. For example, as shown in fig. 4a, the video playing apparatus may include a first presentation unit 401 and a second presentation unit 402, as follows:

a first display unit 401, configured to display a first video playing page of a client, where the first video playing page includes a video picture currently played by an original video player of the client, and the video picture is a first video picture of an original video;

a second display unit 402, configured to display a second video playing page, where the second video playing page includes an original video playing area and at least one target video playing area, the original video playing area includes a second video picture, and the second video picture is a video picture of an original video currently played by the original video player, where each target video playing area corresponds to one target video player, each target video playing area includes a video picture of a target video played by the corresponding video player, and the target video player is a video player different from the original video player in the client.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 4b, the target video includes an associated video having an association relationship with the original video; the second display unit 402 may include:

the first presentation subunit 4021 may be configured to present a second video playback page in response to an operation on the first video playback page.

In an embodiment, the first display subunit 4021 may be specifically configured to:
