MULTIMEDIA FILE PLAYING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ROTATABLE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17966106 titled 'MULTIMEDIA FILE PLAYING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ROTATABLE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure introduces a method and apparatus for playing multimedia files on a rotatable device. The method involves grouping files in a multimedia library based on a specified parameter sequence, resulting in multiple groups of files with different grouping granularities.
- The grouping is done in a level-by-level manner, ensuring efficient organization of files.
- Different parameters in the sequence correspond to different grouping granularities, allowing for flexible categorization of files.
- A sub file sequence is generated for each height-width ratio type in each group of files, including horizontal, vertical, and square screen types.
- A file playing sequence is generated and played based on a received instruction, utilizing the sub file sequences and minimizing device rotations.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Multimedia playback on rotatable devices such as smartphones, tablets, or portable media players.
- Organizing and categorizing multimedia files in a library for easy access and playback.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient grouping and organization of multimedia files based on different parameters.
- Seamless playback of multimedia files on rotatable devices, considering different screen orientations.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience with organized and easily accessible multimedia files.
- Optimal playback sequence based on device rotations, minimizing disruptions and enhancing user convenience.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure provides a multimedia file playing method and apparatus for a rotatable device. In some embodiments, the method includes grouping, in a level-by-level grouping manner and based on a specified grouping parameter sequence, files in a multimedia file library, to obtain a plurality of groups of files. Different parameters in the specified grouping parameter sequence correspond to different grouping granularities. The method further includes generating a sub file sequence for each height-width ratio type in each group of the plurality of groups of files. The height-width ratio type includes a horizontal screen type , a vertical screen type, and a square screen type. The method further includes generating and playing a file playing sequence according to a received file playing instruction, and based on sub file sequences of a corresponding group of the plurality of groups of files and a principle of minimum number of device rotations.
