Before explaining the embodiments of the present application, a video playing method and a video segment unlocking method in the related art are first described.

When the user does not have the video watching right, if a certain video watching right can be granted to the user under the condition that the user does not need to purchase VIP, the user viscosity and the user experience degree of the video playing software can be greatly improved.

On one hand, the related technology has no authorization mode except for purchasing authority, when the user does not purchase the authority of the video playing client, the user can only watch the trial viewing part for the paid video, and when the trial viewing part is played, the user can be reminded to purchase the authority of the video or purchase the VIP authority on the current interface. As shown in fig. 1, the interface diagram is an interface diagram for reminding a user of purchasing video viewing permissions in the related art, in acurrent interface 101, when the user finishes viewing a trial viewing part, apurchase key 102, an openVIP member key 103, and are-trial viewing key 104 are displayed, wherein only two purchasing manners of purchasing the video by clicking thepurchase key 102 or purchasing the VIP permission by clicking the openVIP member key 103 can be used for viewing other parts of the video after the trial viewing part, so that there are no other authorization manners except for the purchasing permission in the related art, the granting manner of the video viewing permissions is too single, the user experience is poor, and the user viscosity of the video playing client is low.

On the other hand, when a user is granted a video viewing permission and the video or the video segment is unlocked, in order to ensure the security of the authorization process and avoid cheating of the user, the authorization process is usually implemented by a request protocol binary system and an encryption mode, that is, the security is ensured by a data encryption mode of front-end and back-end linkage.

The following describes a video segment unlocking method provided in the embodiment of the present application with reference to an exemplary application and implementation of the video segment unlocking device provided in the embodiment of the present application, where the video segment unlocking device may be any terminal having a video playing function, or may also be a server, that is, the video segment unlocking method provided in the embodiment of the present application may be executed by a terminal, may also be executed by a server, and of course, may also be executed by interaction between a terminal and a server. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is an optional flowchart of a video segment unlocking method provided in the embodiment of the present application, which will be described in an embodiment of the present application with the video segment unlocking method being executed by a server, where the video segment unlocking method includes the following steps:

step S401, a video clip unlocking request is obtained.

Here, the video segment unlocking request is sent by the terminal to the server, and is used for requesting to unlock a specific video segment, and the video segment unlocking request includes the current selection point identifier.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal is provided with the video playing application, a user can play videos through the video playing application, and in the video playing process, when the user does not have video watching permission and the terminal cannot continue playing the videos, unlocking prompt information and an unlocking button corresponding to the unlocking prompt information can be displayed on a current interface of the terminal. When the user clicks the unlock button or executes an operation corresponding to the unlock button, the subsequent unlock step of the embodiment of the present application is executed. It should be noted that the operation of clicking the unlock button by the user is an unlock operation, the unlock operation is used to request to unlock a specific video clip in the video, and the video clip unlock request is a request generated by the terminal in response to the unlock operation by the user.

In this embodiment, the current selection point identifier may be an identifier generated by the terminal and corresponding to a specific video segment, where the current selection point identifier is used to uniquely identify the specific video segment, that is, for different specific video segments, corresponding to different current selection point identifiers, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the specific video segment and the current selection point identifier. When the terminal receives an unlocking operation input by a user through the client, the terminal responds to the unlocking operation and generates a current selection point identifier, and the authorization process that only one determined specific video clip can be processed within a period of time is ensured through the current selection point identifier.

The specific video clip refers to a video clip which does not have video viewing permission currently, and the specific video clip may be a video clip in a currently played video or a video clip related to the currently played video. The length of different specific video segments may be the same or different.

The length of the specific video clip can be determined according to different users, that is, the length of the specific video clip which can be unlocked is different corresponding to different user accounts under the video playing application. For example, the length of the specific video clip unlocked by the user who purchased the VIP authority of the video playing application is greater than the length of the specific video clip unlocked by the user who did not purchase the VIP authority of the video playing application; or the length of the specific video clip unlocked by the user who purchases the VIP authority of the video playing application for multiple times is larger than the length of the specific video clip unlocked by the user who purchases the VIP authority of the video playing application for relatively few times; or the length of the specific video clip unlocked by the user with higher use frequency of the video playing application is greater than the length of the specific video clip unlocked by the user with relatively lower use frequency of the video playing application; or the length of the specific video clip unlocked after the user account is logged in the video playing application is larger than the length of the specific video clip unlocked after the user account is not logged in the video playing application.

The length of a particular video segment may also be determined based on the number of times the user is currently unlocked. For example, when a user unlocks multiple video clips within the same day by using the method of the embodiment of the present application, the length of a specific video clip unlocked in a previous unlocking process is greater than the length of a specific video clip unlocked in a subsequent unlocking process.

The length of a particular video segment may also be determined based on the video content. For example, each video clip may correspond to a complete content or story line, i.e., the video may be divided into video clips corresponding to different story lines according to the story line told by the video.

The length of the specific video segment can also be determined according to a preset dividing rule, i.e. the system can preset the length of each specific video segment. Therefore, when the unlocking operation is received, the current playing time point can be taken as the division starting point, and the playing time point which is away from the division starting point and is preset with the playing time length can be taken as the division end point according to the playing time sequence of the video. In this way, the video segments between the division start point and the division end point are divided, that is, the obtained specific video segments are divided according to the preset division rule, and the length of the specific video segment is the time length between the division start point and the division end point. The length of the specific video segment specified by the preset partitioning rule may be a fixed value or a randomly varying value.

Step S402, responding to the video clip unlocking request, and acquiring the target video corresponding to the specific video clip and the exposure identification of the target video.

Here, each specific video clip corresponds to one target video, or each specific video clip corresponds to a plurality of target videos.

Here, it should be noted that the relationship and the difference among the video, the specific video clip and the target video are as follows: the video can be any video in the video playing client and is a complete video in the video playing client, the video playing client can play the complete video under the condition that the video playing client has a VIP authority, and the video playing client can play a section of video clip in the video under the condition that the video playing client does not have the VIP authority. The specific video clip is a specific video clip in the video, the playing time of the specific video clip is less than the playing time of the video, the specific video clip is a video clip which cannot be normally played when the specific video clip is in an unlocked state, or the specific video clip cannot be normally played when the video playing client side does not have a VIP authority. The target video is the video used to effect unlocking of the particular video segment, and the target video may be any form of video, for example, the target video may be an advertising video, such as may be an incentive advertisement.

The following description will be given by taking the video as a movie a, the specific video clip as a highlight clip a1 in the movie, and the target video as an advertisement video B for unlocking the highlight clip, taking the relationship and difference among the video, the specific video clip, and the target video as an example: when the user plays movie-a through the video playback client, the user can only view the trial-view portion of movie-a (which may be, for example, the first 5 minute movie clip) because the user does not purchase the VIP right of the video playback client. After the user views the trial part of the movie a, if the user wants to continue to view the highlight segment a1 of the movie a, the user may request to acquire and play the advertisement video B, and when the playing process of the advertisement video B meets the preset playing condition, the highlight segment a1 is unlocked, and the user may normally view the highlight segment a 1.

In some embodiments, the mapping relationship between the specific video segment and the target video is determined within the same preset time period, that is, when the specific video segment is determined, the target video may be determined directly according to the mapping relationship between the specific video segment and the target video.

The target video is stored in a target video library, the target video library is provided with a plurality of target videos, and the target video library is updated along with the update of the target videos. In the updating of the target video library, not only the video content of the target video can be updated, but also the target video can be newly added in the target video library. When the target video library is updated, the mapping relationship between the specific video segment and the target video may also change, that is, the mapping relationship between the specific video segment and the target video may change with the update of the target video library. In the embodiment of the application, when the server receives a video clip unlocking request, a target video corresponding to a specific video clip is acquired from a target video library in response to the video clip unlocking request, and after the target video is acquired, an exposure identifier of the target video is acquired.

And step S403, sending the target video and the exposure identifier to the terminal.

Here, the server transmits the target video and the exposure flag to the terminal as a result of a response to the video clip unlocking request.

And S404, receiving a report message sent by the terminal in the process of playing the target video by the terminal.

Here, the report message at least includes a report selection point identifier and an exposure identifier, that is, when the terminal plays the target video, the terminal reports the target video playing process of the terminal to the server through the report message. The report message at least comprises report messages generated at three moments of starting playing the target video, in the middle of playing the target video and ending playing the target video. When the terminal generates the report message each time, the report message is generated according to the latest report selected point identifier and the latest exposure identifier currently stored by the terminal, that is, each report message includes the latest report selected point identifier and the latest exposure identifier currently stored.

And S405, when the fact that the playing process of the target video meets the preset playing condition is determined according to the reported point selection mark and the exposure mark, unlocking the specific video clip.

Here, it may be determined whether the playing process of the target video meets a preset playing condition according to the reporting selection point identifier and the exposure identifier, where the case that the playing process of the target video meets the preset playing condition may be that, according to the reporting selection point identifier and the exposure identifier, it is determined that the playing time of the target video is longer than a preset time threshold; or, the target video is completely played; or, in the process of completely playing the target video, other operations irrelevant to the playing of the target video are not carried out; or, in the process of completely playing the target video, the terminal plays and only plays the target video.

And if the playing process of the target video meets the preset playing condition, unlocking the specific video clip. Here, unlocking a specific video clip means that the server grants the right to play the specific video clip to the user account logged in by the video playing client on the terminal, or the server grants the right to play the specific video clip to the terminal (that is, the server may have the right to play the specific video clip in the case that the video playing client on the terminal does not log in any user account). In some embodiments, after unlocking a specific video clip, the user account or the terminal has the right to play the specific video clip within a preset time period. For example, after a particular video clip is unlocked, the user can watch the particular video clip for free for a day or a week.

In some embodiments, after the user views the specific video segment, the user may continue to unlock the video segment by using the method provided in the embodiment of the present application for the video portion located after the specific video segment in the video, that is, the video portion without the video viewing right may be unlocked and viewed by using the method in the embodiment of the present application, so that the video is unlocked in segments and viewed in segments.

According to the video clip unlocking method provided by the embodiment of the application, when a video clip unlocking request of a terminal is responded, a target video corresponding to a specific video clip requested to be unlocked and an exposure identifier of the target video are obtained; sending the target video and the exposure identification to a terminal; and in the process of playing the target video by the terminal, receiving a report message comprising the report point selection identifier and the exposure identifier, and authenticating the playing process of the target video according to the report point selection identifier and the exposure identifier in the report message so as to unlock the specific video segment. Therefore, on one hand, the user can acquire the video watching permission by watching the target video and unlock the specific video clip, and the user can watch the specific video clip without purchasing the video watching permission, so that the user viscosity and the user experience of the video playing application are greatly improved; on the other hand, the current point selection identifier and the exposure identifier contained in the report message are used for authentication in the playing process of the target video, so that the safety of the authentication process is greatly improved, and the risk of permission cracking is reduced.

In some embodiments, the video clip unlocking system comprises a terminal and a server, the terminal is provided with a video playing client, and a user can log in a user account through the video playing client to play and watch a video, or the user can play and watch the video without logging in the user account; the server is a background server of the video playing client, can be a local server, and can also be a cloud server. Here, the videos that the user can watch include free videos and paid videos, where a paid video is a video that the user needs to purchase a video watching right of the video to normally play, or a video that the user needs to purchase a VIP right of a video playing client to normally play. In the embodiment of the application, the terminal is a user terminal for which a user does not purchase a video watching right, and when the user does not purchase the video watching right, the user can be authorized to watch more video clips except a trial watching part through the video clip unlocking system provided by the embodiment of the application.

Fig. 5 is an optional schematic flow chart of the video segment unlocking method provided in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 5, the following will take an example of a terminal interacting with a server to implement the video segment unlocking method in the embodiment of the present application as an example for description, where the method includes the following steps:

step S501, the terminal obtains a video playing request of the user and plays the video.

Step S502, in the process of video playing, when the terminal does not have the right of continuously playing the video, the server sends an unlocking prompt message to the terminal, wherein the unlocking prompt message comprises unlocking prompt information and an operation identifier corresponding to the unlocking prompt information.

And step S503, the terminal displays the unlocking prompt information and the operation identification corresponding to the unlocking prompt information on the current interface.

Here, the unlocking prompt message is used to prompt the user to unlock the video clip for a certain period of time by performing a specific unlocking operation.

Step S504, the terminal obtains the click operation of the user aiming at the operation identification so as to obtain the unlocking operation; the unlocking operation is used for requesting to unlock a specific video segment in the video, and the unlocking operation at least comprises a clicking operation aiming at the operation identifier.

And step S505, the terminal responds to the unlocking operation and generates a video clip unlocking request. The video clip unlocking request is used for requesting to unlock a specific video clip, and the video clip unlocking request comprises the current selection point identifier.

In some embodiments, the current setpoint identifier may be generated when the terminal responds to the unlocking operation, and the current setpoint identifier may be used to ensure that only one specific video segment is authorized to be processed within a certain period of time. Wherein, step S505 can be implemented by the following steps:

in step S5051, the terminal determines, in response to the unlocking operation, the current setpoint identity of the specific video segment corresponding to the unlocking operation.

Here, the current selection point identifier is an identifier generated by the terminal and corresponding to a specific video segment, and the current selection point identifier is used for uniquely identifying the specific video segment, that is, for different specific video segments, corresponding to different current selection point identifiers, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the specific video segments and the current selection point identifier. In some embodiments, a setpoint field may be stored in the predetermined storage unit, and a current setpoint ID of a specific video segment is formed by writing a segment ID (e.g., an ID of the specific video segment, etc.) of the specific video segment into the setpoint field, so that a unique current setpoint ID can be formed for different specific video segments, and the current setpoint IDs have the same writing mode and format.

Correspondingly, step S5051 may be implemented by: and when the unlocking operation is acquired, responding to the unlocking operation, and writing the segment identification of the specific video segment into the point selection field in an overwriting mode to generate the current point selection identification of the specific video segment. Here, overwrite is a writing method in which a modification cannot be returned, and is a data writing method different from the additional writing. After writing data by overwriting, the original data of the location where the data was written is overwritten by the data written by overwriting, thereby deleting the original data. In the embodiment of the application, the segment identifier of the specific video segment is written into the point selection field in an overwriting manner, so that the current point selection identifier formed at the current moment only corresponds to the specific video segment, and when the segment identifier is written into the point selection field again in the overwriting manner, the current point selection identifier of the specific video segment does not exist.

In step S5052, the current setpoint identifier is encapsulated in the video segment unlock request.

Step S506, the terminal sends the video clip unlocking request to the server.

Step S507, the server parses the video segment unlocking request to obtain the current point selection identifier. Here, when the server acquires the current setpoint identifier, the server may store the current setpoint identifier, and when the latest current setpoint identifier is acquired again, the server may continue to store the latest current setpoint identifier in an overwriting manner to overwrite the current setpoint identifier stored in the history process, thereby ensuring that the currently stored current setpoint identifier is the latest setpoint identifier.

Step S508, the server obtains a target video corresponding to the specific video segment from a preset target video library according to the current point selection identifier.

Here, the server may obtain, from the target video library, the target video corresponding to the specific video segment according to the current selection point identifier and the mapping relationship between the specific video segment and the target video.

After receiving the video segment unlocking request, the server analyzes the video segment unlocking request to obtain a current point selection identifier, determines a specific video segment according to the current point selection identifier, and obtains a target video corresponding to the specific video segment. And the server also records the current selection point identification while responding to the video clip unlocking request so as to authenticate the process of playing the target video by the terminal when the follow-up terminal reports the video viewing.

It should be noted that, for a video segment unlocking request requesting to unlock different video segments, because the generated current setpoint identifiers are different and the current setpoint identifier is written in the setpoint field in an overwriting manner, when the terminal requests a video segment each time, the current setpoint identifiers of the latest video segment are currently recorded and stored by the server, and the current setpoint identifier of the video segment requested by the previous video segment unlocking request is overwritten.

In step S509, the server generates an exposure identifier of the target video, where the exposure identifier is an identifier corresponding to the target video and uniquely identifying the target video.

In the embodiment of the application, when the security of authorization of a specific video segment is ensured, in addition to ensuring that only one determined authorization process of the specific video segment can be processed within a period of time through the current point selection identifier, the data reported by information reporting in the process of playing the target video can be ensured to occur after the target video is acquired and report the target video based on the exposure identifier of the target video.

In step S510, the server sends the target video and the exposure identifier to the terminal.

And step S511, the terminal plays the target video.

Step S512, in the process of playing the target video by the terminal, the terminal sends a report message to the server, wherein the report message at least comprises a report point selection identifier and an exposure identifier. Here, in the process of playing the target video, at least the exposure identifier may be used to perform video viewing and reporting to the server.

The reporting selection point mark is a mark corresponding to the playing report of the playing process of the target video, and different reporting selection point marks are corresponding to the playing reports of different playing processes of the target video.

For example, the specific video clip V1 corresponds to the target video V11, the specific video clip V2 corresponds to the target video V21, and when the report message is a play report directed to the target video V11, the report selection point is identified as P1; when the report message is a play report for the target video V21, the report selection point is identified as P2. Therefore, it is easy to conclude that when the user needs to play the target video V11 after requesting to unlock the specific video clip V1, and during playing the target video V11, the report setpoint id P1 is included in the report message sent to the server. However, if the target video V11 has not been played yet, that is, when the unlocking of the specific video segment V1 is not completed, the user requests to unlock the specific video segment V2, at this time, the target video V21 is played, and in the process of playing the target video V21, the report selection point identifier P2 is included in the report message sent to the server.

And step S513, when the server determines that the playing process of the terminal to the target video meets the preset playing condition according to the report message, unlocking the specific video clip. Here, the specific video segment may be unlocked when the server determines that the playing process of the terminal on the target video meets the preset playing condition according to the reported point selection identifier and the exposure identifier in the reported message.

In some embodiments, the authentication process of step S513 may also be performed by the terminal, that is, during the playing of the target video by the terminal, the terminal may authenticate the playing process of the target video, determine whether the playing process of the target video by the terminal meets a preset playing condition, and when the playing process of the target video by the terminal meets the preset playing condition, the terminal unlocks the specific video segment.

And step S514, the server sends the unlocked specific video clip to the terminal.

Step S515, the terminal plays the specific video clip.

Fig. 6 is a schematic view of an optional process of a video viewing reporting process performed by a terminal according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 6, the video viewing reporting process includes the following steps:

step S601, in the process of playing the target video, acquiring a reported point selection mark and an exposure mark.

Step S602, generating a report message periodically or non-periodically according to the report select point identifier and the exposure identifier.

Here, the reporting point selection identifier and the exposure identifier may be encapsulated in the reporting message, and the reporting message may be sent to the server periodically or aperiodically.

Step S603, sending the report message to the server for video viewing and reporting, so that the server authenticates the process of currently playing the target video according to the report point selection identifier and the exposure identifier in the report message.

Here, the server authenticates the process of currently playing the target video according to the reported point selection identifier and the exposure identifier in the reported message, which may be: when the exposure identification in the report message is the same as the currently stored exposure identification, comparing the report point selection identification in the report message with the current point selection identification in the video clip unlocking request; and when the reported point selection identifier in the reported message is the same as the current point selection identifier, determining that the authentication of the current target video playing process aiming at the reported message passes, namely determining that the authentication result aiming at the current played target video passes the authentication. In other embodiments, when it is determined that the exposure identifier in the report message is different from the currently stored exposure identifier, it is determined that the authentication result for the currently played target video is not authenticated, or when it is determined that the exposure identifier in the report message is the same as the currently stored exposure identifier, but it is further determined that the reported selection point identifier in the report message is different from the current selection point identifier, it is also determined that the authentication result for the currently played target video is not authenticated.

That is, the server first determines whether the current reporting message is the report of the current target video playing process, that is, determines whether the exposure identifier currently stored in the background is the same as the exposure identifier in the reporting message, and if so, indicates that the current reporting message is the report of the current target video playing process; then, whether the current point selection identification currently stored in the background is the same as the reported point selection identification in the report message is judged, if so, the action of acquiring the specific video segment is completed, namely, the current reporting process is after the terminal sends the video segment unlocking request to the server and reports the playing process of the target video corresponding to the specific video segment requested by the video segment unlocking request.

In some embodiments, each reporting message corresponds to a reporting timestamp; the reporting timestamp is a timestamp generated by the server when the terminal sends the reporting message to the server; correspondingly, the authentication of the playing process of the target video can be realized through the following steps:

step S10, when the reporting selection point identifier and the exposure identifier are received, a reporting timestamp corresponding to the reporting message is obtained.

And step S11, when the playing process of the target video meets the preset playing condition according to the reporting timestamp corresponding to the reporting message, unlocking the specific video clip.

In the embodiment of the application, the reporting message at least comprises a starting reporting message and an ending reporting message; step S11 may be implemented by:

step S11a, determining the playing time of the target video according to the reporting timestamp corresponding to the initial reporting message and the reporting timestamp corresponding to the ending reporting message.

Here, the time difference between the reporting timestamp corresponding to the initial reporting message and the reporting timestamp corresponding to the end reporting message may be calculated, so as to obtain the playing time of the target video.

Step S11b, when the playing time is greater than or equal to the time threshold, determining that the playing process of the target video meets the preset playing condition, and unlocking the specific video segment.

In some embodiments, to ensure the security of authorization for a particular video clip, the number of unlocks by a user for a period of time may also be limited, where the number of unlocks includes the number of unlocks for each video and the total number of unlocks by the user for the period of time.

In some embodiments, the number of unlocks of the user within a certain time period may be limited by the terminal, wherein the method further comprises the steps of:

in step S21, the terminal sets an unlock counter corresponding to the video and a total unlock counter corresponding to the terminal login account.

Step S22, when the unlocking operation is acquired, the terminal determines the current unlocking times recorded by the unlocking counter and the current total unlocking times recorded by the total unlocking counter.

Step S23, when the terminal determines that at least one of the following conditions is satisfied: and when the current unlocking times reach the unlocking time threshold and the current total unlocking times reach the total unlocking time threshold, forbidding to respond to the unlocking operation.

In some embodiments, the number of times the user unlocks within a certain time period may also be limited by the server, wherein the method further comprises the steps of:

in step S24, the server sets an unlock counter corresponding to the video and a total unlock counter corresponding to the terminal login account.

Step S25, when the video clip unlocking request is acquired, the server determines the current unlocking times recorded by the unlocking counter and the current total unlocking times recorded by the total unlocking counter.

Step S26, when the video segment unlocking request determines that at least one of the following conditions is satisfied: and when the current unlocking times reach the unlocking time threshold and the current total unlocking times reach the total unlocking time threshold, forbidding to respond to the video clip unlocking request.

In the embodiment of the application, when the unlocking operation is obtained, a new unlocking authorization process is indicated to be performed, so that the terminal needs to determine whether the user currently has the unlocking frequency authority; or, when the video segment unlocking request is acquired, it indicates that a new unlocking authorization process needs to be performed, and therefore, the server first needs to determine whether the user currently has the unlocking time right. Here, the terminal or the server may determine whether the current total unlocking times of the user for all videos in the video playing application in the current time period reach a total unlocking time threshold, and if so, it indicates that the user cannot unlock any video in the video playing application at present, and therefore, the response to the unlocking operation or the video segment unlocking request is prohibited; if not, continuously judging whether the current unlocking times of the user for the video reach an unlocking time threshold value, if so, forbidding to respond to unlocking operation or a video segment unlocking request, and the user has no right to continuously unlock a specific video segment under the video; if not, a subsequent unlocking process can be performed to authorize the particular video segment.

In some embodiments, the method may further comprise the steps of:

in step S31, the expiration times of the unlock counter and the total unlock counter are set. Here, the expiration time is used to control the time period of the unlock count of the unlock counter and the total unlock counter.

In step S32, when the expiration time is reached, the current unlocking times of the unlocking counter and the current total unlocking times of the total unlocking counter are initialized to zero.

In step S33, each time a specific video segment is successfully unlocked, the unlocking times of the unlocking counter are increased by one, and the total unlocking times of the total unlocking counter are increased by one.

In the embodiment of the application, the time period of unlocking counting is limited through the expiration time, and the unlocking times and the total unlocking times of a user on the same video and different videos are limited through the unlocking counter and the total unlocking counter, so that the unlocking authorization threshold is further improved, and the difficulty of the user in breaking the permission is increased

In the following, an exemplary application of the embodiments of the present application in a practical application scenario will be described.

The embodiment of the application provides a video segment unlocking method, and a user can obtain certain rights by watching incentive advertisements (namely target videos), wherein the rights include that the user has the right to watch a specific video segment corresponding to the incentive advertisements, and the user can use the rights within a period of time. In the embodiment of the application, the incentive advertisement of the video can require segmented unlocking, namely different segments of the video are unlocked through different incentive advertisements, and in the unlocking process of each segment of the video, the video can be unlocked only after the incentive advertisement is watched for a certain time.

Fig. 7 is an interface diagram for prompting to view an incentive advertisement in a video segment unlocking method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 7, when a user does not have a right to continue to view a currently playing video, the user may acquire a right to continue to view the video by viewing the incentive advertisement, and therefore, may have an unlocking prompt 701 on the current interface, where the unlocking prompt may be "view advertisement unlocked for 20 minutes", and therefore, after the user clicks the unlocking prompt 701 and finishes viewing the incentive advertisement, a specific video segment of 20 minutes may continue to be viewed.

In this embodiment of the present application, when authorizing a specific video segment, a terminal may interact with a background server, and fig. 8 is a sequence diagram of authorization interaction provided in this embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 8, an authorization interaction process includes two stages: an advertisement pull phase and a user viewing incentive advertisement (i.e., playing incentive advertisement) phase.

In the advertisement pulling phase, the method comprises the following steps:

step S801, in the authorization process, the terminal sends an advertisement pull request to the server to request to acquire an incentive advertisement.

Step S802, the server responds to the advertisement pulling request and issues an incentive advertisement to the terminal.

In the stage of the user viewing the incentive advertisement, the method comprises the following steps:

step S803, the terminal performs a play start report to the server to inform the server that the terminal starts playing the incentive advertisement.

Step S804, in the process of playing the incentive advertisement, the terminal performs intermediate reporting to the server to inform the server that the current terminal is still playing the incentive advertisement.

Step S805, when the playing time of the incentive advertisement meets the preset condition and meets the unlocking requirement, the terminal performs unlocking report to the server to request the rights and interests authorization of the specific video clip.

Step S806, when the server determines that the playing of the incentive advertisement by the terminal satisfies the authorization condition, successfully unlocking the specific video segment to authorize the terminal to watch the specific video segment.

As can be seen from the authorization interaction timing diagram of fig. 8, the final rights and interests authorization is issued by the server in the background, the user will continuously report to the server while watching the incentive advertisement, and when the server considers that the unlocking condition is met, the actual rights and interests will be authorized, and the result will be returned to the terminal. In the embodiment of the application, the safety scheme is ensured by the background, the unlocking threshold can be improved, and the unlocking frequency can be limited, wherein the safety of the scheme can be ensured by the following 3 points:

1) it is guaranteed that only the reporting of one specific video clip can be processed within a period of time.

2) The reported data is guaranteed to occur after the advertisement pull and is the report of the corresponding incentive advertisement.

3) It is ensured that there must be a start report and an end report, and the time interval between the start report and the end report must be greater than a duration threshold.

Because the user must request the server in the background to obtain the rights and interests, the user can be ensured through the three points, and the user cannot obtain all the rights and interests through cheating without cost, so that the cheating cost of the user is increased. In addition, the total number of times of unlocking can be limited through frequency control, for example, the number of times of the maximum right gain which can be obtained by each user every day can be limited, in addition, under the condition of exciting an advertisement, the right gain is time-efficient, the user can only obtain the limited right gain, and therefore the unlocking threshold can also be improved.

The following describes an implementation manner of increasing the unlocking threshold in the embodiment of the present application.

The first method is as follows: it is guaranteed that only the reporting of one specific video clip can be processed within a period of time.

In the implementation process, the background rights and interests storage is stored by taking a single video as granularity, and in order to ensure that only the report of a specific video segment can be processed within a period of time, a current _ point field (current _ point field) of a current point selection identifier is added in the storage. Current _ point is updated at the time of ad pull to the value of the particular video segment currently requested. During the reporting, only if the current _ point segment of the reported data is equal to the current _ point stored in the background is considered as a normal request and is processed. In the embodiment of the application, an overwriting method can be used, so that only one section of video segment can be processed and authorized at the same time, and the current _ point can be reliably changed by a background control user.

Fig. 9 is a reporting interaction timing diagram under the condition of pulling an advertisement once according to the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 9, an interaction process includes the following steps:

in step S901, the terminal sends an advertisement pulling request to the server to request to acquire an incentive advertisement, where the advertisement pulling request carries a current setpoint identifier of the advertisement pulling at this time, for example, the current setpoint identifier is 1.

Step S902, in the process of playing the incentive advertisement, the terminal performs the first reporting, and if the current selection point identifier carried in the report message is 1, the reporting is successful.

And step S903, in the playing process of the incentive advertisement, the terminal executes second reporting, and if the current point selection identifier carried in the reporting message is equal to 1, the reporting is successful.

And step S904, in the process of playing the incentive advertisement, the terminal performs a third report, and if the current point selection identifier carried in the report message is 2, the report fails.

Fig. 10 is a reporting interaction timing diagram under the condition of pulling multiple advertisements according to the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 10, an interaction process includes the following steps:

step S101, the terminal sends a first advertisement pulling request to the server to request to acquire an incentive advertisement, where the advertisement pulling request carries a current setpoint identifier of the current advertisement pulling, for example, the current setpoint identifier is 1.

Step S102, the terminal sends a second advertisement pulling request to the server to request to acquire an incentive advertisement, where the advertisement pulling request carries a current setpoint identifier of the current advertisement pulling, where, for example, the current setpoint identifier is 2.

And step S103, in the playing process of the incentive advertisement, the terminal executes the first report, and if the current point selection identifier carried in the report message is 1, the report fails.

And step S104, in the playing process of the incentive advertisement, the terminal executes second reporting, and if the current point selection identifier carried in the reporting message is 1, the reporting fails.

And step S105, in the playing process of the incentive advertisement, the terminal executes the third report, and if the current point selection identifier carried in the report message is 2, the report is successful.

The second method comprises the following steps: the reported data is guaranteed to occur after the advertisement pull and is the report of the corresponding incentive advertisement.

In the embodiment of the application, when the advertisement is pulled, the unique exposure ID generated by the advertisement pulling is recorded besides the current _ point. The exposure ID is transmitted to the terminal in return, namely, the exposure ID is issued to the terminal by the server and is transmitted back to the server in the report stage. In the reporting stage, firstly, the current report is determined to be the report corresponding to the current advertisement pull, namely whether the exposure ID stored in the background is the same as the unvarnished transmission exposure ID reported by the terminal or not is determined; if the current _ point is the same as the reported current _ point, comparing whether the background current _ point is the same as the reported current _ point, and if so, indicating that the advertisement pulling action has already occurred. Through the verification process, the reported data can be guaranteed to occur after the advertisement is pulled and is reported to the corresponding incentive advertisement.

Fig. 11 is a sequence diagram of authorized interaction provided in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 11, the interaction process includes the following steps:

step S111, the terminal sends an advertisement pulling request to the server to request to acquire an incentive advertisement, where the advertisement pulling request carries a current setpoint identifier, for example, the current setpoint identifier is 1.

In step S112, the server returns an exposure ID to the terminal, and the exposure ID may be trace _ ID ═ x, for example.

And step S113, in the playing process of the incentive advertisement, the terminal executes the first report, and if trace _ id carried in the report message is x, the report is successful.

And step S114, in the playing process of the incentive advertisement, the terminal executes second reporting, and if trace _ id carried in the reporting message is y, the reporting fails.

The third method comprises the following steps: it is ensured that there must be a start of reporting and an end of reporting, and the time interval between the start of reporting and the end of reporting must be greater than a duration threshold.

In the embodiment of the application, the background unlocking authorization requires that the initial report and the end report must exist, and the server time of the two reports is recorded at the same time, and the server time is completely generated by the back end, so that the server time cannot be changed and is completely credible. When the terminal considers that the unlocking requirement is met, whether the reporting time interval meets the requirement or not is detected, namely whether the reporting time interval reaches a time length threshold or not is detected. Thus, in the case of simple cheating, it still takes the same time to see the advertisement waiting for the benefit to be obtained.

Fig. 12 is a sequence diagram of interaction of the report time interval authorization provided in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 12, the interaction process includes the following steps:

in step S121, the terminal sends an advertisement pull request to the server to request acquisition of an incentive advertisement.

And step S122, in the process of playing the incentive advertisement, the terminal executes the report starting and the report is successful.

Step S123, in the process of playing the incentive advertisement, the terminal executes unlocking report when playing for 10 seconds, and the report fails because 10 seconds are less than the time threshold.

Step S124, in the process of playing the incentive advertisement, the terminal performs unlocking reporting when playing for 15 seconds, and because 15 seconds are less than the time threshold, reporting fails.

And step S125, in the playing process of the incentive advertisement, the terminal executes unlocking report when playing for 20 seconds, and the report is successful because 20 seconds are more than the time length threshold.

In some embodiments, the number of times a user unlocks and the total number of unlocks for the same video may also be limited for a certain period of time (e.g., within a day). This may be achieved by a redis memory in which each user maintains two dimensions of key values (keys): the video unlocking method comprises the following steps of userID _ all and userID _ vid, wherein the userID _ all represents the total unlocking times of the user on the current day, and the userID _ vid represents the total unlocking times of the user on the video on the current day. Each time the user successfully unlocks, the times of the user under two keys, namely the times of updating the userID _ all and the userID _ vid, are updated, and the control over the time period is realized by setting the expiration time.

Fig. 13 is a structural diagram of a redis memory according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 13, each key may set an expiration Time (TTI) when it is first generated, for example, the expiration Time may be set to 0 point on the next day, and the unlocking number is initialized to 0, and subsequent updating will store updating data based on the structural diagram of fig. 13.

When an excitation advertisement pulling request occurs, the unlocking times in the storage structure diagram are checked first, and when one of the two values userID _ all and userID _ vid reaches a required threshold value, an excitation advertisement unlocking entry is not provided any more. In this way, the total number of times a user can unlock a single day is limited.

In the embodiment of the application, the server limits the authorization concurrency degree and the single authorization basic cost because the rights and interests authorization needs to interact with the server anyway, so that the safety is improved. Therefore, the difficulty of cheating authorization of the user can be further improved, and the condition that the user simply cracks must bear certain unlocking cost, so that the cheating intention is reduced.

Continuing with the exemplary structure of the video clip unlocking device 354 implemented as a software module provided in the embodiment of the present application, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the video clip unlocking device 354 stored in the memory 350 includes:

a first obtaining module 3541, configured to obtain a video clip unlocking request, where the video clip unlocking request is used to request to unlock a specific video clip;

a second obtaining module 3542, configured to obtain, in response to the video segment unlocking request, a target video corresponding to the specific video segment and an exposure identifier of the target video;

a sending module 3543, configured to send the target video and the exposure identifier to a terminal;
