The plot display control can be arranged at any position of the interactive playing page, for example, in the lower or upper area of the interactive playing page.

For example, referring to fig. 2a, the terminal displays an interactive playing page 201 of an interactive video (a story node in the interactive video is "as large as the world"), and when a triggering operation of the user on a "scenario showing control" is detected, a scenario showing page 202 of a target chapter is displayed, in the example shown in fig. 2a, the target chapter may be a chapter played latest in the interactive video, that is, a chapter being played in the interactive video before the user triggers the scenario showing operation. The scenario presentation page 202 includes at least two scenario lines of the target chapter. In fig. 2a, each plot represents one story node, and at least 3 plot lines of the target chapter, i.e., plot a-plot B1-plot C1, plot a-plot B2, and plot a-plot B1-plot C2, are shown in fig. 2 a. Referring to fig. 2a, when a display operation of a user for a story node (e.g., story B2) is detected on a story display page 202, an interactive play page 203 corresponding to the selected story node is displayed, and a video corresponding to the story node (e.g., story B2) is played on the interactive play page 203.

In one example of this embodiment, the interactive play page includes: a function aggregation control;

when the triggering operation of a user for the function aggregation control is detected, displaying a function control set, wherein the function control set comprises a plot display control;

For example, referring to fig. 2b, when the terminal displays an interactive playing page 204 of the interactive video (a story node in the interactive video is "world-sized"), and detects a trigger operation of the user on a function aggregation control represented by an icon "· · ″ and displays a function control set, where the function control set includes a" scenario presentation control "for displaying the scenario presentation page, a" cache control "for controlling the terminal to cache the interactive video, and a" widget playing control "for controlling the terminal to play the interactive video in a widget form. In this embodiment, the set of functionality controls may be displayed on an interactive playback page, such as page 205 in fig. 2b, in a floating layer or in a sub-page. When a trigger operation of the user for the scenario presentation control displayed by the page 205 is detected, the scenario presentation page 206 of the target chapter is displayed. The scenario display page 206 includes scenario lines of target chapters. In fig. 2B, each plot represents also one story node, and at least 4 plot lines, namely plot a-plot B1-plot C1, plot a-plot B1-plot C2, plot a-plot B2, and plot a-plot B3 are shown in fig. 2B.

In the scenario presentation page 206, when a user's display operation for a story node (e.g., scenario B2) is detected, an interactive play page similar to that shown in 204 is displayed, and a video corresponding to the story node (e.g., scenario B2) is played on the interactive play page.

In this embodiment, the function control set may also be displayed in the form of a pop-up box, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, the plot display page further displays a chapter list of the interactive video, where the chapter list includes chapters of the interactive video;

the video playing method further comprises the following steps:

when the user selection operation for the chapters in the chapter list is detected, at least two plot lines of the selected chapters are displayed in a plot showing page in a switching mode.

For example, referring to fig. 2a or 2b, the scenario presentation pages 202 and 206 have a chapter list displayed on top thereof, the chapter list including three chapters of the interactive video, namely, a first chapter, a second chapter, and a third chapter. The user can switch and display the corresponding plot line by clicking each chapter in the chapter list.

Wherein, the user's selected operation for the chapter in the chapter list includes but is not limited to: clicking and the like by the user for the chapters in the chapter list.

The length of the plot line may exceed the display range of the display screen, and the user may control the plot line to slide left, right, up and down in the display area through the sliding operation in the display area of the plot line, and further, the user may switch to display the plot lines of different chapters through the sliding operation in the display area of the plot line.

In this embodiment, different storylines of the same chapter of the interactive video may include the same story node, for example, different storylines include the same story starting point, and the like, and the storylines may have multiple presentation forms on the storyline presentation page.

For example, referring to the plot presentation page shown in fig. 2c, different plot lines may be presented independently, and optionally, all the story nodes from the story starting point to the story ending point of each plot line are included in the story nodes in each plot line.

For another example, referring to the scenario display page shown in fig. 2d, the same story nodes in different scenario lines may be merged to obtain merged scenario lines, and for the different scenario lines with the same story starting point, the merged scenario lines are similar to a tree structure (refer to fig. 2d), and the nodes of the tree structure represent the story nodes. In the plot lines displayed on the plot display page, all story nodes on each plot line can be displayed, but it can be understood that when the plot of the target chapter is particularly complex and the story nodes are particularly many, the scheme of displaying all the story nodes can increase the time required by the user to know the current plot development, only the needed story nodes can be displayed according to actual needs, and some story nodes are hidden, so that the complexity of the combined plot lines is reduced.

In one embodiment, the target chapter is a chapter that is recently viewed by a user in the interactive video, and a plot line of the target chapter includes: the plot line that the user watched last. In one embodiment, the plot line further comprises historical selection story nodes of the current user after the story node which is watched by the user most recently.

In this embodiment, the video client may record the selection of the user for the story node to ensure that the selection of the user for the story node may be retained after the played story node is backed.

Specifically, when the user selects a story node in the interactive video, the video client may record any chapter of the interactive video, and the story node selected by the user is used as a history selection story node to obtain a history plot line composed of the history selection story nodes, where the history plot line may be a complete plot line or a part of the plot line, and this embodiment does not limit this.

Optionally, if, for the target chapter, the story node watched by the user latest is the story starting point of the plot line, the plot line watched by the user latest is the latest historical plot line.

For example, referring to fig. 2a again, as shown in the interactive play page 201, before the user triggers the scenario showing operation, a story node that is "world-wide" in the first chapter of the interactive video is watched by the current user (of the video client) newly, when the user triggers the scenario showing operation, the scenario showing page 202 in the first chapter is displayed, and 3 scenario lines including the story node "world-wide" are displayed on the scenario showing page 202, wherein, scenario a-scenario B1-scenario C1 is the latest historical scenario line.

Optionally, if, for the target chapter, the story node that the user watched most recently is not the story starting point of the plot line, the plot line that the user watched most recently includes: the story line comprises story nodes watched by the user most recently and story nodes selected by the user before the story nodes, and history selection story nodes in the development direction of the story line.

For example, in conjunction with fig. 2a, it is assumed that before a user triggers a scenario showing operation, a story node that is newly viewed by a current user (of a video client) in an interactive video is "scenario B1" of a first chapter, that is, it is assumed that a video corresponding to scenario B1 is played in an interactive playing page 201, and when the user triggers the scenario showing operation, a scenario showing page 202 of the first chapter is displayed, and a scenario line that is newly viewed by the user and displayed on the scenario showing page 202 includes a scenario line of story nodes "scenario a-scenario B1-scenario C1", where scenario a-scenario B1 is the story node that the user selects to play before triggering the scenario showing operation, scenario C1 is a history selection story node that is in a history time period and after the story node of scenario B1.

In one embodiment, the plot line that the user has recently viewed is displayed at the forefront of at least two plot lines of the target chapter (e.g., displayed in the forefront row of the plot lines).

In this embodiment, on the scenario display page, the information displayed by the story node includes: the story node corresponds to the images and the storyline summary information in the video.

In a specific embodiment, the images of the videos and the plot summary information can be simultaneously displayed only for story nodes on a plot line which is watched by the user most recently, and for other story nodes, only the images in the corresponding videos can be displayed. Optionally, in order to reduce the display area requirement, the size of the image displayed by the other story node may be smaller than the size of the image of the story node in the storyline recently viewed by the user.

For example, referring to fig. 2a, in the story presentation page 202, only story nodes of the first line (stories a1, B1, and C1) simultaneously present images and story summary information in the corresponding video.

In one embodiment, on the scenario presentation page, corresponding to a chapter showing a scenario line, description information of the chapter, such as a title of the chapter, is also displayed. For example, referring also to fig. 2a, on the scenario presentation page 202, for the first chapter where the scenario line is displayed, the title "start of travel" where the chapter is displayed also corresponds. Alternatively, the title may be displayed corresponding to the position of the chapter in the chapter list.

and when the preview video display operation of the user on the preview information is detected, playing the preview video of the unlocked chapter.

For example, referring to fig. 3b, assuming that the interactive video includes three chapters, where the second chapter and the third chapter are both un-unlocked chapters, in the scenario presentation page 303, when a user's selection operation such as a click operation on the second chapter in the chapter list is detected, preview information of the second chapter is displayed in the scenario presentation page 304, the preview information includes an image in the preview video of the un-unlocked chapter, and when a user's preview video display operation such as a click operation on the preview information is detected, the preview video of the un-unlocked chapter is played. The forecast video may be played in the scenario display page 304, and a new playing page may be displayed to play the forecast video.

The advance notice information can also comprise an unlocking prompt for the section which is not unlocked, and the unlocking prompt is used for prompting the unlocking mode of the section which is not unlocked. For example, in the scenario display page 304 of fig. 3b, the unlocking prompt is "the third chapter of trailer requires to pass the previous chapter to unlock the content of the chapter"

In this embodiment, in order to facilitate a user to quickly know the unlocking or locking condition and the unlocking ratio of each chapter, a chapter locking identifier is correspondingly displayed for an un-unlocked chapter in the chapter list (for example, referring to fig. 3b, in the scenario display pages 303 and 304, the shapes of the second chapter and the third chapter are correspondingly set as in the scenario display pages 303 and 304)

The chapter locking mark) is displayed for the unlocked chapters, the chapter locking mark is used for indicating that the corresponding chapter is in a locked state, and the unlocking proportion information is used for indicating the proportion of the unlocked scenario and the unlocked scenario in the corresponding chapter, for example, the unlocking proportion of the first chapter in the scenario display pages 303 and 304 is 15%.

The ratio of the unlocked scenario to the unlocked scenario can be the duration ratio of the unlocked video to the unlocked video; or in the proportion of the duration of viewing the video to viewing the video.

In one embodiment, a plot locking identifier is correspondingly displayed on an un-unlocked story node in a plot line on a plot display page, and the plot locking identifier is used for indicating that the corresponding story node is in a locking state. For example, referring still to fig. 3b, scenario H1, scenario H2, scenario I1 and scenario I2 of chapter one are all correspondingly displayed with scenario lock identifier

In one embodiment, images and/or storyline summary information in its video may not be shown for the unopened story node on the storyline presentation page.

In one embodiment, the step of displaying a scenario presentation page of an interactive video when a scenario presentation operation of a user for the interactive presentation page is detected may include:

when detecting a plot display operation of a user aiming at an interactive playing page, triggering the acquisition of a plot line of a target chapter of an interactive video;

The step of triggering the obtaining of the scenario line of the target chapter of the interactive video may include:

rendering the plot line into plot display page data of the terminal to obtain rendered plot display page data;

and displaying the plot display page of the target chapter according to the rendered plot display page data, wherein at least two plot lines of the target chapter are displayed on the plot display page, each plot line comprises at least one story node, and the story nodes are used for displaying the interactive play page to play videos corresponding to the story nodes when operated by a user.

The step of "obtaining at least two scenario lines of the target chapter, wherein each scenario line includes at least one story node", may include:

analyzing the plot of the target section, and determining at least two plot lines of the target section according to the setting of the producer of the target section on the plot development in the target section, wherein each plot line comprises at least one story node.

In this embodiment, the information of at least two scenario lines of the target chapter may be acquired by sending a specific request to the server.

In this embodiment, the specific step of triggering the obtaining of the scenario line of the target chapter of the interactive video may be implemented at the terminal side, that is, the scenario display page is obtained by rendering in a front-end rendering manner, where the terminal may obtain information of at least two scenario lines of the target chapter by sending a specific request to the server, and the terminal may complete the rendering and the displaying of the scenario display page according to the information.

Of course, it is understood that, in this embodiment, the scenario presentation page may also be obtained in a server rendering manner, that is, the server is requested to complete the acquisition of the scenario line of the target chapter and the generated rendered scenario presentation page data in a manner of sending a request to the server for a scenario.

This embodiment will exemplify scenario line display schemes on the terminal side with reference to fig. 4a to 4 d.

Referring to fig. 4a, in the present embodiment, the scenario line architecture includes three layers:

the first layer is an interactive drama data layer which can be provided by a uniform data request tool, and an interactive video producer can obtain the complete logic of the drama line of the interactive video only by providing appointed interactive video identification information such as interactive video ID and corresponding chapter identification information such as chapter ID and the like. That is, in this embodiment, the determination of the plot line of the interactive video may be implemented by the interactive plot data layer.

Specifically, referring to fig. 4b, fig. 4b shows an implementation of an interactive drama data layer, where a caller in fig. 4b may be a video client playing an interactive video in this embodiment, and the caller requests, by using an axios library, scenario line information of the interactive video from a video platform server (i.e., an interactive platform server, which is a server providing services for the video client).

Specifically, the terminal may send the video client ID, the chapter ID (ID of the target chapter) of the interactive video, and the scenario branch ID (including the story node ID) of the interactive video currently being played to the axios library, where the axios library accesses the corresponding video server based on the video client ID, and requests the scenario line information of the target chapter of the interactive video from the video server platform based on the chapter ID and the scenario branch ID.

Referring to fig. 4a, the second layer of the architecture is a unified data processing translation layer, in which data fields (field information in scenario line information) returned by the background of the terminal and the like can be converted into data rendering fields commonly used by the foreground of the terminal, so as to facilitate the modification of the data fields and the switching and the modification caused by the addition of a new data source.

Referring to fig. 4b, after the terminal acquires the information of the scenario line, the terminal transmits the information of the scenario line to the unified data processing conversion layer. The unified data processing conversion layer of the embodiment supports common default fields, such as concepts of dramas and chapters, and user-defined fields, and the specific implementation principle is that the fields in the storyline are mapped to the fields understood by the rendering layer of the terminal through the mapping table, and the user-defined fields are converted through the same set of conversion rules.

In this embodiment, the obtaining of the information of the plot line is realized through the interactive plot data layer, where the information of the plot line includes names of various story nodes of the interactive video and names of various chapters (or various sets) of the interactive video by the user; the unified data processing conversion layer can map the names of all chapters and all story nodes of the interactive video into fields understood by the rendering layer through the mapping table.

Referring to fig. 4a, the third layer is a rendering layer including a rendering main frame and a bottom rendering engine; wherein the rendering main frame comprises a tool set, a core function and a plug-in system, and the bottom rendering engine can be used for providing the most basic canvas rendering capability.

Referring to fig. 4c, the rendering main frame includes a service data layer, a component layer, a rendering engine, and a tool set, and after receiving the information of the scenario line converted by the unified data processing conversion layer, the service data layer of the rendering main frame may render the scenario line as a component on the scenario display page of the terminal through the component layer.

FIG. 4d illustrates an alternative underlying rendering engine architecture, the first layer of which includes shapes, animations, and groups of shapes. The first layer can determine the exhibition form of the plot line on the plot exhibition page, such as the format of the converted field, the exhibition shape and color of each story node and the like,

the second layer of the bottom rendering engine is a canvas interface (canvas api) layer, through which plot lines can be drawn on the canvas of the plot presentation page, and the plot presentation page after drawing is finally obtained. After the plot is finished, the canvas interface layer sends the data of the plot display page to the browser layer (such as a video playing client), and the video playing client displays the plot display page.

In the embodiment, the plot line of the target chapter is integrally spread by the plot display page, so that a user can perceive the integral plot vein, various and repeatable choices can be made through any story node, and the historical choices of the user can be recorded, so that the interactive exploration experience of the user is greatly optimized; the floating layer of the plot line is semitransparent, the chapter titles are displayed, the story nodes are not displayed, and the chapter preview videos are not unlocked, so that the plot line is strongly combined with the video contents, the perception of the user to the contents is enhanced, and the deeper immersive experience is brought to the user; in the implementation, a brand-new chapter concept and content perception enhancement are introduced to the interactive video: the chapter unlocking percentage is introduced, so that the user can have stronger perception and deeper understanding on the content level and the organization system of the interactive video work; the plot line slides to check, the story node clicks to select, the plot positioning control is set, and the chapters slide to switch, so that the plot line and the story positioning control are convenient for users to check, select and position, and are simple, convenient, clear and understandable to operate.
