DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, rather than limiting the present disclosure. The singular forms of "a", "said", and "the" used in the present disclosure and claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings. It should also be understood that the term "and/or" used herein refers to any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

A search result display method is proposed in the disclosed embodiment, which can be applied to a client device, that is, an electronic device deployed with a client. The client is any client that supports the display of search results, and the type of the client is not limited. The electronic device can be a PC (personal computer), a laptop, a smart phone, a camera, an NVR (network video recorder), a storage device, a display device, a management device, etc., and the type of the electronic device is not limited.

Referring to FIG. 1 , which is a flowchart of the search result display method, the method may include steps 101 to 104 .

Step 101: Obtain search results corresponding to the search conditions, wherein the search results may include multiple initial video files (such as unique file identifiers of the initial video files), channel identifiers of each initial video file, start time of each initial video file, and end time of each target video file.

Step 102: Divide the acquired video clip into multiple time intervals based on its duration.

Step 103: For each time interval of the multiple time intervals, based on the start time and end time of all initial video files corresponding to the same channel identifier, a target video file is generated based on one or more initial video files in the time interval, that is, the initial video files corresponding to the same channel identifier in the time interval are combined into a target video file.

Step 104: Display the search result structure on the target display interface, wherein the search result structure may include multiple data items, each of which includes search data corresponding to a target video file.

Exemplarily, for each time interval of the multiple time intervals, based on the start time and end time of all initial video files corresponding to the same channel identifier, a target video file is generated based on one or more initial video files in the time interval, which may include but is not limited to: if there is an initial video file with a start time earlier than the time interval and an end time in the time interval, a first sub-video file is intercepted from the initial video file, the start time of the first sub-video file may be the start time of the time interval, and the end time of the first sub-video file may be the end time of the initial video file; the target video file is generated based on the first sub-video file. If there is an initial video file with an end time later than the time interval and a start time in the time interval, a second sub-video file is intercepted from the initial video file, the start time of the second sub-video file may be the start time of the initial video file, and the end time of the second sub-video file may be the end time of the time interval; the target video file is generated based on the second sub-video file. If there is an initial video file whose start time is earlier than the time interval and whose end time is later than the time interval, a third sub-video file is intercepted from the initial video file, and the start time of the third sub-video file can be the start time of the time interval, and the end time of the third sub-video file can be the end time of the time interval; the target video file is generated based on the third sub-video file. If there is an initial video file whose start time is within the time interval and whose end time is within the time interval, the target video file is generated based on the initial video file.

Exemplarily, if the display mode of the client device is a list display mode, the search result structure is a search result list, and for each target video file, the search data corresponding to the target video file includes at least one of the following: the channel identifier of the target video file, the start time of the target video file, the end time of the target video file, and the duration of the target video file; wherein the start time of the target video file is the earliest time of all (one or more) initial video files corresponding to the target video file, the end time of the target video file is the latest time of all initial video files corresponding to the target video file, and the duration of the target video file is the sum of the durations of all initial video files corresponding to the target video file. Alternatively, if the display mode of the client device is a thumbnail display mode, the search result structure is a search result thumbnail, and for each target video file, the search data corresponding to the target video file includes at least one of the following: the channel identifier of the target video file, the thumbnail of the target video file, and the start time of the target video file; wherein the thumbnail of the target video file is the video screen at the start time of the target video file.

Exemplarily, dividing the time intervals based on the acquired video clip length may include but is not limited to: obtaining the total timeline length of the target timeline, and determining a first preset video clip length corresponding to the total timeline length; dividing the total timeline length into multiple time intervals based on the first preset video clip length.

Exemplarily, a target timeline may also be displayed on the target display interface. The length of the target timeline is the total length of the timeline. The target timeline includes multiple time intervals and a display mark corresponding to each time interval. The display mark indicates whether there is a target video file in the time interval.

If a floating operation instruction for a first time interval in which a target video file exists is received, the channel identifiers and/or start times of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval are displayed.

If a click operation instruction for the first target video file corresponding to the first time interval is received, the screen of the first target video file can be played, and/or the search result structure displayed on the target display interface can be jumped to the data item corresponding to the first target video file.

Exemplarily, for each target video file, the start time of the target video file is converted into the start time of the target time zone, and the end time of the target video file is converted into the end time of the target time zone. Based on the start time of the target time zone and the end time of the target time zone of the target video file, the time interval to which the target video file belongs on the target time axis is determined. When the start time of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval is displayed, the start time of the target time zone of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval is displayed. Alternatively, for each target video file, based on the start time of the original time zone of the target video file and the end time of the original time zone, the time interval to which the target video file belongs on the target time axis is determined; when the start time of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval is displayed, the start time of the original time zone of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval is displayed.

Exemplarily, if a zoom operation instruction for the target timeline is received, the total length of the timeline after the change that matches the zoom operation instruction is obtained; wherein, if the zoom operation instruction is a zoom-in operation instruction, the total length of the timeline of the target timeline is increased to obtain the total length of the timeline after the change; if the zoom operation instruction is a zoom-out operation instruction, the total length of the timeline of the target timeline is reduced to obtain the total length of the timeline after the change.

The second preset video segment duration corresponding to the changed total timeline length is obtained, and the changed total timeline length is divided into multiple time intervals based on the second preset video segment duration; wherein, the longer the changed total timeline length is, the longer the second preset video segment duration is.

Exemplarily, when the search result structure is displayed on the target display interface, if a click operation instruction for the data item of the second target video file is received, the screen of the second target video file is played. On this basis, the time interval to which the second target video file belongs on the target time axis can also be determined based on the start time and end time of the second target video file. A played mark is set for the time interval on the target time axis; wherein the played mark indicates that there is a target video file being played in the time interval.

Exemplarily, jumping the search result structure displayed on the target display interface to the data item corresponding to the first target video file may include, but is not limited to: determining the first sorting position of the last target video file currently loaded in the search result structure, and the second sorting position of the first target video file; wherein the sorting position is used to indicate the positional relationship of the data item of the target video file among the data items of all target video files (i.e., indicating the nth data item among the data items of all target video files); determining the number of jump interval pages based on the number of interval positions between the second sorting position and the first sorting position, and the number of data items loaded per page of the search result structure; and jumping the search result structure to the data item corresponding to the first target video file based on the number of jump interval pages, so as to load and display the data item corresponding to the first target video file.

Exemplarily, obtaining search results corresponding to the search conditions includes, but is not limited to: obtaining multiple search video files corresponding to the search conditions; determining the multiple search video files as initial video files; or obtaining the target channel identifier of the channel of interest; based on the channel identifier of each search video file, selecting the search video file that matches the target channel identifier from all search video files as the initial video file.

As can be seen from the above technical solutions, in the disclosed embodiment, multiple time intervals can be divided based on the length of the video clip, the initial video files in the time interval are combined to obtain the target video file, and the retrieval data of the target video file is displayed, thereby integrating the video files in the time interval, and displaying the video files with the time interval as the granularity, thereby improving the user experience and display performance. The retrieval result structure and the target time axis can be displayed simultaneously on the target display interface, so that the target time axis and the retrieval result structure can be linked, and the time distribution of the overall retrieval results can be displayed through the target time axis (that is, the target time axis includes multiple time intervals and display marks corresponding to each time interval, and the display mark indicates whether there is a target video file in the time interval), and the retrieval results of the video file are displayed through the retrieval result structure (that is, the retrieval result structure includes multiple data items, and each data item includes retrieval data corresponding to a target video file). In this way, both the time distribution of the overall retrieval results and the retrieval results of the video files can be viewed, thereby improving the user experience and display performance.

The above technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure is described below in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

A search result display method is proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be applied to a client device. FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the search result display method. Referring to FIG. 2 , the method can include the following steps 201 to 207 .

Step 201: Obtain search results corresponding to the search conditions.

Exemplarily, for each camera, during the process of the camera collecting video files of the target scene (i.e., the field of view of the camera), if a specified type of event occurs in the target scene (such as a vehicle entry event, a human entry event, etc.), the start time and end time of the specified type of event will be stored in the database, and the unique file identifier of the video file will be stored in the database, and the channel identifier of the video file (i.e., the unique identifier of this camera, different cameras can correspond to different channels) will be stored in the database, that is, the start time and end time of the specified type of event, the unique file identifier of the video file, the channel identifier of the video file, and the mapping relationship between them are stored in the database.

Exemplarily, in the process of retrieving video files, a retrieval condition may be obtained, and the retrieval condition may include but is not limited to at least one of the following: a video time period, a video area, and a retrieval target (such as a vehicle target or a human target, etc.), and there is no restriction on the retrieval condition. The video time period means retrieving all video files within the video time period, the video area means retrieving video files of all channels (i.e., all cameras) within the video area, and the retrieval target means whether the retrieval target exists in the video file.

Exemplarily, a search result corresponding to the search condition can be obtained, and the search result can include multiple initial video files (such as a unique file identifier of the initial video file), a channel identifier of each initial video file, a start time of each initial video file, and an end time of each initial video file.

For example, if the recording time period is recording time period A, the recording area is recording area B, and the search target is a vehicle target, then the recording files for recording time period A, recording area B, and vehicle target (recorded as initial recording files) can be retrieved. Obviously, for the retrieved initial recording files, the initial recording files are located in the recording time period A, the initial recording files are recording files collected by the camera in the recording area B, and the vehicle target exists in the initial recording files (that is, the specified type of event is a vehicle entry event, and the recording files of the target vehicle entry event are retrieved from the database).

For the retrieved initial video file, the unique file identifier of the initial video file, the channel identifier of the initial video file, the start time of the initial video file (i.e. the start time of the vehicle entry event), and the end time of the initial video file (i.e. the end time of the vehicle entry event) can be queried from the database.

At this point, the search results corresponding to the search conditions can be obtained. In the process of searching for video files, concurrent searches of multiple channels can be supported, that is, video files of multiple channels can be searched simultaneously based on the search conditions. Therefore, in the search results corresponding to the search conditions, the search results can include multiple initial video files (such as unique file identifiers of initial video files), channel identifiers of each initial video file, start time of each initial video file, and end time of each initial video file.

In a possible implementation, the search results can be filtered to support secondary filtering of multiple channels, that is, when a channel of interest is selected, the thumbnails, lists and timeline only display the video files of the selected channel. Based on this, the search results corresponding to the search conditions can also be obtained in the following manner.

Method 1: Acquire multiple search video files corresponding to the search condition, and determine the multiple search video files as initial video files, that is, obtain multiple initial video files corresponding to the search condition.

For example, if the recording time period is recording time period A, the recording area is recording area B, and the search target is a vehicle target, then the recording files for recording time period A, recording area B, and vehicle target can be searched, and these recording files are called searched recording files. On this basis, these searched recording files can be used as initial recording files, that is, multiple initial recording files are obtained. Then, the unique file identifier of each initial recording file, the channel identifier of each initial recording file, the start time of each initial recording file, and the end time of each initial recording file can be obtained, that is, the search result can be obtained.

Method 2: Obtain multiple search video files corresponding to the search conditions and obtain the target channel identifier of the channel of interest. Based on the channel identifier of each search video file, a search video file matching the target channel identifier can be selected from all search video files as the initial video file.

For example, if the recording time period is recording time period A, the recording area is recording area B, and the search target is a vehicle target, the recording files for recording time period A, recording area B, and vehicle target can be searched, and these recording files are referred to as searched recording files. In addition, the target channel identifier of the channel of interest can be obtained (the channel identifier of the channel of interest is referred to as the target channel identifier), wherein the target channel identifier can be a channel identifier configured by the user, that is, a channel identifier used to implement secondary filtering.

On this basis, based on the channel identifier of each retrieved video file, if the channel identifier of the retrieved video file is the same as the target channel identifier, then the retrieved video file is used as the initial video file, and if the channel identifier of the retrieved video file is different from the target channel identifier, then the retrieved video file is not used as the initial video file. At this point, multiple initial video files can be obtained. Then, the unique file identifier of each initial video file, the channel identifier of each initial video file, the start time of each initial video file, and the end time of each initial video file can be obtained, that is, the retrieval result can be obtained.

Step 202: divide the acquired video clip into multiple time intervals based on the duration of the acquired video clip. For example, for each time interval, the length of the time interval (ie, the time length) may be the duration of the video clip.

For example, a pre-configured video clip duration (such as a user configuring the video clip duration according to their own needs) can be obtained, and multiple time intervals can be divided based on the video clip duration. For example, the target display interface can include a control related to the video clip duration, and the user can set the video clip duration by operating the control. For another example, the total time axis length of the target time axis can be obtained, and the video clip duration corresponding to the total time axis length can be determined, and the total time axis length can be divided into multiple time intervals based on the video clip duration. Of course, the above is only an example, and there is no limitation on the method of obtaining the video clip duration.

For example, for determining the duration of a video clip based on the total length of the target timeline, the total length of the target timeline may be determined first. For example, multiple candidate duration values of the target timeline may be preconfigured, and these candidate duration values may be any duration, such as 7 days, 48 hours, 24 hours, 12 hours, 6 hours, etc., and multiple candidate duration values may be arbitrarily configured.

Then, based on the retrieval conditions (such as the recording time period in the retrieval conditions), the total length of the time axis is selected from multiple candidate duration values, and the total length of the time axis needs to be greater than or equal to the length of the recording time period. For example, assuming that the length of the recording time period in the retrieval conditions is greater than 48 hours and less than or equal to 7 days, the candidate duration value "7 days" can be used as the total length of the time axis of the target time axis. Assuming that the length of the recording time period is greater than 24 hours and less than or equal to 48 hours, the candidate duration value "48 hours" can be used as the total length of the time axis of the target time axis, or the candidate duration value "7 days" can be used as the total length of the time axis of the target time axis. The total length of the time axis can be greater than 24 hours. Usually, the one closest to the length of the recording time period will be selected, such as the candidate duration value "48 hours" as the total length of the time axis, and so on.

If the duration of the recording time period is greater than 7 days, that is, greater than the maximum candidate duration value, the user may be prompted that the search range is exceeded and the duration of the recording time period needs to be controlled within 7 days. In this way, the user re-enters the search conditions and retrieves data based on the search conditions. The process refers to step 201.

Exemplarily, after obtaining the total length of the time axis, the duration of the video clip corresponding to the total length of the time axis can be determined. For example, the corresponding relationship between the candidate duration value and the duration of the video clip can be pre-configured, and there is no restriction on this corresponding relationship. It can be configured based on experience. The longer the candidate duration value is, the longer the video clip duration is. For example, if the candidate duration value is 7 days, the duration of the video clip can be 3 hours, 2 hours, 1 hour, etc., and there is no restriction on this. If the candidate duration value is 24 hours, the duration of the video clip can be 30 minutes, 25 minutes, 20 minutes, and there is no restriction on this. If the candidate duration value is 12 hours, the duration of the video clip can be 20 minutes, 15 minutes, 10 minutes, and there is no restriction on this. If the candidate duration value is 6 hours, the duration of the video clip can be 10 minutes, 8 minutes, 5 minutes, and there is no restriction on this. Of course, the above are just a few examples of the relationship between the candidate duration value and the duration of the video clip, and the duration of the video clip can be configured arbitrarily.

On this basis, if the total length of the timeline is 7 days, the length of the video clip corresponding to the total length of the timeline can be 3 hours. If the total length of the timeline is 24 hours, the length of the video clip corresponding to the total length of the timeline can be 30 minutes, and so on, so as to obtain the length of the video clip.

After obtaining the duration of the video clip corresponding to the total length of the time axis, the total length of the time axis can be divided into multiple time intervals based on the duration of the video clip. For example, assuming that the total length of the time axis is 24 hours and the duration of the video clip is 30 minutes, 48 time intervals can be divided, and the length of each time interval is 30 minutes. For example, the first time interval is 0:00-0:30, the second time interval is 0:30-1:00, the third time interval is 1:00-1:30, ..., and so on, the 48th time interval is 23:30-24:00. For another example, assuming that the total length of the time axis is 12 hours and the duration of the video clip is 20 minutes, 36 time intervals can be divided, and the length of each time interval is 20 minutes. For another example, assuming that the total length of the time axis is 6 hours and the duration of the video clip is 10 minutes, 36 time intervals can be divided, and the length of each time interval is 10 minutes, and so on. At this point, multiple time intervals can be obtained.

Step 203: for each time interval, based on the start time and end time of all initial video files corresponding to the same channel identifier, a target video file is generated based on one or more initial video files in the time interval, that is, the initial video files corresponding to the same channel identifier in the time interval are combined into the target video file.

For example, with the channel identifier as the granularity, all initial video files corresponding to each channel identifier are determined, for example, all initial video files corresponding to the channel identifier AAA, all initial video files corresponding to the channel identifier BBB, all initial video files corresponding to the channel identifier CCC, and so on.

Based on the start time and end time of all initial video files corresponding to the same channel identifier, such as the start time and end time of all initial video files corresponding to the channel identifier AAA, for each time interval, a target video file is generated based on the initial video files in the time interval. For example, assuming that the channel identifier AAA corresponds to the initial video files a1 and a2 in the time interval "0:00-0:30", then the target video file b1 corresponding to the time interval "0:00-0:30" is generated based on the initial video files a1 and a2; assuming that the channel identifier AAA corresponds to the initial video files a3, a4 and a5 in the time interval "0:30-1:00", then the target video file b2 corresponding to the time interval "0:30-1:00" is generated based on the initial video files a3, a4 and a5; assuming that the channel identifier AAA does not correspond to the initial video files in the time interval "1:00-1:30", then there is no target video file corresponding to the time interval "1:00-1:30", and so on.

At this point, at least one target video file corresponding to the channel identifier AAA can be obtained, and each target video file corresponds to a time interval. If 48 time intervals are divided, the number of target video files corresponding to the channel identifier AAA is less than or equal to 48, that is, some time intervals may not correspond to target video files.

In a possible implementation, for each time interval, taking the time interval "0:30-1:00" as an example, if there is an initial video file whose start time is earlier than the time interval and whose end time is in the time interval, such as the start time of the initial video file is 0:20 and the end time is 0:35, then a first sub-video file is captured from the initial video file, the start time of the first sub-video file may be 0:30, and the end time of the first sub-video file may be 0:35, and the target video file includes the first sub-video file.

If there is an initial video file whose end time is later than the time interval and whose start time is within the time interval, such as the start time of the initial video file is 0:55 and the end time is 1:35, then a second sub-video file is captured from the initial video file, the start time of the second sub-video file may be 0:55, and the end time of the second sub-video file may be 1:00, and the target video file includes the second sub-video file.

If there is an initial video file whose start time is earlier than the time interval and whose end time is later than the time interval, such as the start time of the initial video file is 0:20 and the end time is 1:05, then a third sub-video file is captured from the initial video file, the start time of the third sub-video file may be 0:30, and the end time of the third sub-video file may be 1:00, and the target video file includes the third sub-video file.

If there is an initial video file whose start time is within the time interval and whose end time is within the time interval, for example, the start time of the initial video file is 0:40 and the end time is 0:45, then the target video file includes the initial video file.

For the convenience of description, take the target video file as an example, including an initial video file (first sub-video file) with a start time of 0:30 and an end time of 0:35, an initial video file with a start time of 0:40 and an end time of 0:45, and an initial video file (second sub-video file) with a start time of 0:55 and an end time of 1:00, and then splice the above three initial video files together to obtain the target video file. In the splicing process, the picture at 0:35 is spliced with the picture at 0:40, and the picture at 0:45 is spliced with the picture at 0:55.

Step 204: Display the search result list on the target display interface. For example, if the display mode of the client device is a list display mode, the search result list is displayed on the target display interface.

Exemplarily, the search result list may include multiple data items. For each data item in the search result list, the data item includes search data corresponding to a target video file. The search data may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a channel identifier of the target video file, a start time of the target video file, an end time of the target video file, and a duration of the target video file. In addition to the above content, the search data may also include the number of target video files corresponding to the channel identifier, etc., which is not limited.

The start time of the target video file is the earliest time of all the initial video files corresponding to the target video file, the end time of the target video file is the latest time of all the initial video files corresponding to the target video file, and the duration of the target video file is the sum of the durations of all the initial video files corresponding to the target video file. For example, when the target video file corresponds to an initial video file with a start time of 0:30 and an end time of 0:35, an initial video file with a start time of 0:40 and an end time of 0:45, and an initial video file with a start time of 0:55 and an end time of 1:00, the start time is the earliest time of these video files 0:30, the end time is the latest time of these video files 1:00, and the duration is 15 minutes (5+5+5). For another example, when the target video file corresponds to an initial video file with a start time of 0:30 and an end time of 0:33, and an initial video file with a start time of 0:40 and an end time of 0:45, the start time is the earliest time of these video files 0:30, the end time is the latest time of these video files 0:45, and the duration is 8 minutes.

For example, see FIG3A , which is an example of the search result list. As can be seen from FIG3A , the channel identifier AAA corresponds to 6 target video files, the start time of the first target video file is 2023/11/10 12:10:10, the end time of the first target video file is 2023/11/10 12:30:10, the duration of the first target video file is 20 minutes, the channel identifier of the first target video file is the channel identifier AAA, and the first target video file represents a data item in the search result list, and so on. The channel identifier BBB corresponds to 8 target video files, the start time of the first target video file is 2023/11/11 10:10:10, the end time of the first target video file is 2023/11/11 10:35:10, the duration of the first target video file is 25 minutes, the channel identifier of the first target video file is the channel identifier BBB, and the first target video file represents a data item in the search result list, and so on.

In a possible implementation, when the search result list is displayed on the target display interface, the search result list first loads K data items, where K can be a positive integer, such as 100, 150, 200, etc. Taking K as 150 as an example, the search result list first loads 150 data items, that is, the search result list shown in FIG3A displays 150 data items. In the subsequent process, the remaining data items can be incrementally loaded by scrolling. For example, when scrolling down the search result list, the remaining data items can be incrementally loaded. When scrolling down the search result list, the 151st data item, the 152nd data item, ... are loaded in sequence.

Step 205: Display the target timeline on the target display interface. For example, if the display mode of the client device is a list display mode, the search result list and the target timeline are displayed simultaneously on the target display interface.

Exemplarily, the length of the target timeline is the total length of the timeline, and the total length of the timeline has been divided into multiple time intervals, so the target timeline can include multiple time intervals and display marks corresponding to each time interval, and the display mark indicates that the target video file exists in the time interval or does not exist. For example, the target timeline can include the time interval 0:00-0:30, the time interval 0:30-1:00, the time interval 1:00-1:30, ..., and so on, without limitation.

Exemplarily, for multiple time intervals of the target time axis, each time interval may correspond to a display mark. If a target video file exists in a certain time interval, that is, the start time and end time of the target video file are in the time interval, then a display mark is configured for the time interval, and the display mark indicates that the target video file exists in the time interval. If a target video file does not exist in a certain time interval, that is, the start time and end time of all target video files are not in the time interval, then a display mark is configured for the time interval, and the display mark indicates that the target video file does not exist in the time interval.

The display mark may be a color display mark, such as a gray display mark or a black display mark indicating that the target video file exists in the time interval, and a white display mark indicating that the target video file does not exist in the time interval. The display mark may be a shape display mark, such as a rectangular display mark or a square display mark indicating that the target video file exists in the time interval, and a circular display mark indicating that the target video file does not exist in the time interval. The display mark may be a digital display mark, such as the number 1 indicating that the target video file exists in the time interval, and the number 2 indicating that the target video file does not exist in the time interval. The display mark may be a symbol display mark, such as a period indicating that the target video file exists in the time interval, and a question mark indicating that the target video file does not exist in the time interval. Of course, the above are just a few examples of display marks, and there is no limitation to this display mark.

For example, referring to FIG3B , which is a schematic diagram showing the search result list and the target time axis simultaneously displayed in the target display interface, the target time axis includes 12 time intervals as an example. The first time interval is 0:00-1:00, and the gray display mark indicates that the target video file exists in the time interval. The second time interval is 1:00-2:00, and the gray display mark indicates that the target video file exists in the time interval. The third time interval is 2:00-3:00, and the white display mark indicates that the target video file does not exist in the time interval. By analogy, it can be displayed whether the target video file exists in these 12 time intervals.

In summary, the target time axis may include multiple time intervals and a display mark corresponding to each time interval, and the display mark indicates whether there is a target video file in the time interval.

In a possible implementation, different colors can be used to distinguish target video files of different channels on the target time axis. For example, the display mark can be a color display mark, such as a gray display mark indicating that a target video file corresponding to the channel identifier AAA exists in the time interval, a black display mark indicating that a target video file corresponding to the channel identifier BBB exists in the time interval, a red display mark indicating that a target video file corresponding to the channel identifier CCC exists in the time interval, a purple display mark indicating that a target video file corresponding to the channel identifier DDD exists in the time interval, and a white display mark indicating that no target video file exists in the time interval. On this basis, if a target video file corresponding to the channel identifier CCC exists in a certain time interval, a red display mark is configured for the time interval, and if a target video file corresponding to the channel identifier CCC and a target video file corresponding to the channel identifier DDD exist in a certain time interval, a red display mark and a purple display mark are configured for the time interval, that is, a display mark after the red and purple are merged. Of course, the above is just an example, and different color display marks can be used to distinguish target video files corresponding to different channel identifiers.

In a possible implementation, the target timeline can also support scaling time accuracy (i.e. scaling the total length of the timeline), and then automatically recombining all video files according to the accuracy of the target timeline. The higher the accuracy of the target timeline, the shorter the duration of the corresponding video file.

Exemplarily, if a zoom operation instruction for a target timeline is received, the total length of the timeline after the change that matches the zoom operation instruction can be obtained. Wherein, if the zoom operation instruction is a zoom operation instruction, such as a downward operation of the mouse wheel (or an upward operation of the mouse wheel) or an upward pressing operation of the zoom button, the zoom operation instruction can be triggered. Under the zoom operation instruction, the total length of the timeline can be increased to obtain the total length of the timeline after the change, and then the second preset video segment duration corresponding to the total length of the timeline after the change is obtained, and the total length of the timeline after the change is divided into multiple time intervals based on the second preset video segment duration, that is, the time interval changes. When the time interval changes, the target video file will also change synchronously, such as based on the changed time interval, the target video file is generated based on the initial video file in the time interval. When the time interval changes, the displayed target timeline will also change synchronously. Wherein, the longer the total length of the timeline after the change is, the longer the second preset video segment duration is.

For example, if the total length of the current timeline is 24 hours, under the zoom operation instruction, the total length of the timeline is increased to 7 days, and the length of the video clip is increased from 30 minutes to 3 hours. In this way, based on 3 hours, the target video file is regenerated and the target timeline is redisplayed. The implementation method is referred to the above steps and will not be repeated here. For another example, if the total length of the current timeline is 12 hours, under the zoom operation instruction, the total length of the timeline is increased to 24 hours, and the length of the video clip is increased from 20 minutes to 30 minutes.

Exemplarily, if a zoom operation instruction for a target timeline is received, the total length of the timeline after the change that matches the zoom operation instruction can be obtained. Wherein, if the zoom operation instruction is a zoom-out instruction, such as an upward operation of the mouse wheel (or a downward operation of the mouse wheel) or a downward pressing operation of the zoom button, the zoom-out instruction can be triggered. Under the zoom-out instruction, the total length of the timeline can be reduced to obtain the total length of the timeline after the change, and then the second preset video clip duration corresponding to the total length of the timeline after the change is obtained, and the total length of the timeline after the change is divided into multiple time intervals based on the second preset video clip duration, that is, the time interval changes. When the time interval changes, the target video file will also change synchronously, such as based on the changed time interval, the target video file is generated based on the initial video file in the time interval. When the time interval changes, the displayed target timeline will also change synchronously. For example, if the total length of the current timeline is 24 hours, under the zoom-out instruction, the total length of the timeline is reduced to 12 hours, and the video clip duration is reduced from 30 minutes to 20 minutes.

For example, as shown in FIG3C , the target timeline may include a zoom button. Clicking the plus sign (+) indicates an upward pressing operation of the zoom button, triggering a zoom-in operation instruction, i.e., increasing the total length of the timeline. Clicking the minus sign (-) indicates a downward pressing operation of the zoom button, triggering a zoom-out operation instruction, i.e., reducing the total length of the timeline. In FIG3C , when the total length of the timeline is 12 hours, the length of the video clip is 1 hour. This is just an example for convenience. In actual applications, the length of the video clip may be 20 minutes.

As shown in FIG3C , by pressing the zoom button upward and downward, the total length of the time axis can be controlled to be 7 days (the length of the video clip is 3 hours), 24 hours (the length of the video clip is 30 minutes), 12 hours (the length of the video clip is 20 minutes), and 6 hours (the length of the video clip is 10 minutes). Of course, these are just a few examples of the total length of the time axis, and there is no limitation on the total length of the time axis.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3D , the target time axis can also display a search time range (such as 2023/11/8 12:10:10—2023/11/12 12:10:10), a midpoint date (such as 2023/11/10 12:10:10), a zoom button, and the like, and there is no restriction on the display content of the target time axis. The search time range is the search time range of the search condition, the midpoint date is the midpoint date of the search time range, and the zoom button is used to provide an upward push button and a downward push button. By pressing the zoom button upward and downward, the total length of the time axis of the target time axis is controlled to be 7 days, 24 hours, 12 hours, 6 hours, etc.

In each time interval of the target timeline, the target video files of all channels can be spliced, and the video clip length of the target video file can be automatically divided according to the fixed length corresponding to the total length of the timeline.

The total length of the target time axis can also be adaptively adjusted according to the search time range. For example, if the search time range is 1 day, the total length of the target time axis will be automatically adjusted to 24 hours. If the search time range is greater than 1 day, the total length of the target time axis will be automatically adjusted to 7 days.

When long pressing and dragging the target timeline, if the total length of the target timeline exceeds the selected search time range, a prompt may appear indicating that the selected search time range has been exceeded and that the user should reselect the search time range.

In a possible implementation, the start time of the target video file is the start time of the camera's time zone (i.e., the channel time zone), and the end time of the target video file is the end time of the camera's time zone. The camera's time zone may be different from the client device's time zone. Based on this, the following method may be used:

Method 1: For each target video file, the start time of the target video file (i.e., the start time under the time zone of the camera, the time zone of the camera can be called the original time zone) can be converted to the start time of the target time zone (the target time zone can be the time zone of the client device, or a fixed time zone can be used as the target time zone), and the end time of the target video file (i.e., the end time of the original time zone) can be converted to the end time of the target time zone. On this basis, the time interval to which the target video file belongs on the target time axis can be determined based on the start time of the target time zone and the end time of the target time zone of the target video file. For example, if the start time of the target time zone of the target video file and/or the end time of the target time zone are located in a certain time interval of the target time axis, the target video file belongs to the time interval.

Obviously, based on the above processing, target video files in different time zones can be uniformly converted into the target time zone of the client device, and then displayed based on the start time and/or end time of the target time zone.

Method 2: For each target video file, the time interval to which the target video file belongs on the target time axis can be determined based on the start time of the original time zone and the end time of the original time zone of the target video file. For example, if the start time of the original time zone of the target video file and/or the end time of the original time zone are in a certain time interval of the target time axis, the target video file belongs to the time interval.

Obviously, in method 2, there is no need to uniformly convert the target video files in different time zones into the target time zone of the client device. Instead, they are displayed on the target timeline based on the original time zone of the target video files (i.e., the time zone of the camera) and the start time and/or end time of the original time zone.

Step 206: If a floating operation instruction for a first time interval in which a target video file exists is received, the channel identifiers and/or start times of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval are displayed.

Exemplarily, after the search result list and the target timeline are displayed on the target display interface, the user can learn which time intervals contain target video files and which time intervals do not contain target video files by viewing the target timeline. For example, the time intervals with gray display marks contain target video files, while the time intervals with white display marks do not contain target video files. On this basis, if the user wants to view the relevant information of the target video files corresponding to a certain time interval, the user can hover the mouse over the time interval of the target timeline, and the time interval of the target timeline can be recorded as the first time interval. Obviously, the first time interval can be any time interval in which the target video files exist.

If a floating operation instruction for the first time interval is received (such as floating the mouse in the first time interval), the channel identifiers and start times of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval can be displayed, that is, the channel identifiers and start times of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval can be popped up.

For example, after displaying the channel identifiers and start times of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval, the user can check which target video files are located in the first time interval.

In a possible implementation, if the time interval to which the target video file belongs on the target time axis is determined based on the start time of the target time zone and the end time of the target time zone of the target video file, when the start time of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval is displayed, the start time of the target time zone of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval may be displayed. If the time interval to which the target video file belongs on the target time axis is determined based on the start time of the original time zone and the end time of the original time zone of the target video file, when the start time of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval is displayed, the start time of the original time zone of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval may be displayed.

Step 207: If a click operation instruction for the first target video file (any target video file) corresponding to the first time interval is received, the screen of the first target video file is played, and/or the search result list displayed on the target display interface is jumped to the data item corresponding to the first target video file.

For example, after the channel identifiers and start times of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval are displayed through the target display interface, the user can view which target video files are located in the first time interval. If the user wants to view the detailed information of a target video file (i.e., any target video file located in the first time interval, which is recorded as the first target video file), the user can click the channel identifier of the first target video file, or click the start time of the first target video file.

If a click operation instruction for the first target video file is received (such as clicking the channel identifier or start time of the first target video file), the screen of the first target video file can be played, that is, the screen of the first target video file pops up to display the first target video file to the user, and there is no restriction on this process.

If a click operation instruction for the first target video file is received, the search result list displayed on the target display interface can be jumped to the data item corresponding to the first target video file, that is, the data item corresponding to the first target video file is loaded to the first page of the search result list for display. Obviously, if a click operation instruction for the first target video file is received, and the search result list has not yet loaded the data item corresponding to the first target video file, it can be directly incrementally loaded to the page data where the data item corresponding to the first target video file is located, thereby achieving the effect of rapid linkage positioning of the target timeline and the search result list.

In a possible implementation, in order to jump the search result list displayed on the target display interface to the data item corresponding to the first target video file, the following method may be used:

First, determine the first sorting position of the last target video file currently loaded in the search result list, and determine the second sorting position of the first target video file; wherein the sorting position is used to represent the positional relationship of the data items of the target video file among the data items of all target video files.

For example, when the search results corresponding to the search conditions are obtained, the search results include multiple target video files, and the search result list needs to display the data items of these target video files. At this time, the order relationship of the data items of these target video files has been determined. If the search result list has loaded 100 data items, the first sort position of the last target video file currently loaded in the search result list is 100.

For example, assuming that the second sorting position of the first target video file is determined to be 450, it means that the data item of the first target video file is the 450th data item among the data items of all target video files.

Then, the number of interval positions between the second sort position and the first sort position and the number of data items loaded per page of the search result list are obtained. For example, the number of interval positions can be the difference between the second sort position and the first sort position, such as 350. For example, the number of data items loaded per page of the search result list is used to indicate how many data items are displayed per page of the search result list, such as 100 data items per page.

Then, based on the number of interval positions between the second sort position and the first sort position and the number of data items loaded per page of the search result list, the number of jump interval pages is determined. For example, the number of interval positions can be divided by the number of data items loaded per page, and then rounded down to obtain the number of jump interval pages. For example, 350 can be divided by 100, and then rounded down to obtain the number of jump interval pages as 3.

Then, based on the jump interval page number, the search result list is jumped to the data item corresponding to the first target video file, so as to load and display the data item corresponding to the first target video file. For example, the search result list can be jumped to the 4th page after 3 pages (i.e., the jump interval page number), so as to jump to the page where the data item corresponding to the first target video file is located, and then load and display the data item corresponding to the first target video file. For example, the 1st page of the interval is the 101st-200th data item (these data items do not need to be loaded at this time), the 2nd page of the interval is the 201st-300th data item (these data items do not need to be loaded at this time), and the 3rd page of the interval is the 301st-400th data item (these data items do not need to be loaded at this time). Obviously, the 4th page jumped to is the 401st-500th data item (these data items need to be loaded at this time), that is, the search result list displayed through the target display interface displays the 401st-500th data item, and these data items include the data item corresponding to the first target video file (i.e., the 450th data item), so that the data item is displayed.

At this point, the search result list displayed on the target display interface is successfully jumped to the data item corresponding to the first target video file, thereby achieving the effect of rapid linkage positioning of the target timeline and the search result list.

In a possible implementation, when the search result list is displayed on the target display interface, the search result list includes data items of multiple target video files, and the data items include the channel identifier, start time, end time and other contents of the target video files, and the user can view the data items of these target video files.

If the user wants to view the detailed information of a target video file (i.e. any target video file, which is recorded as the second target video file), the user clicks the channel identifier of the second target video file, or the start time of the second target video file, or the end time of the second target video file. If a click operation instruction for the data item of the second target video file is received, the screen of the second target video file is played, i.e., the screen of the second target video file is popped up to display the second target video file to the user.

On this basis, in order to link the search result list with the target timeline, when playing the screen of the second target video file based on the search result list, the time interval to which the second target video file belongs on the target timeline can also be determined based on the start time and end time of the second target video file (that is, the start time and/or end time of the second target video file is within this time interval).

Then, a played mark is set for the time interval on the target time axis, and the played mark indicates that there is a target video file being played in the time interval. In this way, when the second target video file in the search result list is clicked to play the video file, the second target video file being played will also be synchronously marked on the target time axis, thereby linking the search result list with the target time axis.

For example, when the display mark is a color display mark, the played mark can also be a color played mark, and the color played mark needs to be different from the color display mark, such as the played mark needs to be distinguished from the gray display mark and the white display mark. For example, as shown in Figure 3E, 3:00-4:00 corresponds to the played mark, and the played mark indicates that there is a target video file being played in this time interval. For another example, when the display mark is a shape display mark, the played mark can also be a shape played mark, and the shape played mark needs to be different from the shape display mark, and so on, there is no restriction on this played mark.

In a possible implementation, when playing another target video file (recorded as a third target video file), if the screen of the third target video file is automatically played after the second target video file is played, or a click operation instruction for a data item of the third target video file is received and the screen of the third target video file is played, the following method can be adopted: based on the start time and end time of the third target video file, the time interval to which the third target video file belongs on the target timeline is determined, a played mark is set for the time interval, and the played mark set for the time interval to which the second target video file belongs is deleted, thereby automatically adjusting the played mark from the second target video file to the third target video file.

As can be seen from the above technical solutions, in the disclosed embodiment, multiple time intervals are divided based on the duration of the video clip, one or more initial video files in the time interval are combined to obtain a target video file, and the search data of the target video file is displayed, thereby integrating the video files in the time interval, and displaying the video files with the time interval as the granularity, thereby improving the user experience and display performance. The search result list and the target time axis can be displayed on the target display interface at the same time, so that the target time axis and the search result list can be linked, and the time distribution of the overall search results can be displayed through the target time axis, and the search results of the video files can be displayed through the search result list. In this way, both the time distribution of the overall search results and the search results of the video files can be viewed, thereby improving the user experience and improving the display performance. It can solve the problem that the search results with a large amount of data are loaded in pages and the overall storage status of the video files cannot be perceived. It can solve the problem that the required video files cannot be judged due to the large size of the video files. A solution is designed that takes into account performance and supports paging data loading, and can conveniently and quickly split the video files. By displaying all the data of this search of all channels on the target time axis, the time axis is automatically split to obtain the search result video files.

A search result display method is proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be applied to a client device. FIG. 4 is a flow chart of the search result display method. As shown in FIG. 4 , the method can include the following steps 401 to 407 .

Step 401: Obtain search results corresponding to the search conditions.

Step 402: Divide the acquired video clip into multiple time intervals based on its duration.

Step 403: for each of the multiple time intervals, based on the start time and end time of all initial video files corresponding to the same channel identifier, a target video file is generated based on one or more initial video files in the time interval, that is, the initial video files corresponding to the same channel identifier in the time interval are combined into a target video file.

Exemplarily, steps 401 to 403 are similar to steps 201 to 203 and are not described in detail herein.

Step 404: Display the search result thumbnails on the target display interface. For example, if the display mode of the client device is a thumbnail display mode, the search result thumbnails are displayed on the target display interface.

Exemplarily, the retrieval result thumbnail may include multiple data items. For each data item of the retrieval result thumbnail, the data item includes retrieval data corresponding to a target video file. The retrieval data may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a channel identifier of the target video file, a thumbnail of the target video file (such as a picture at the start time of the target video file), and the start time of the target video file. Of course, in addition to the above content, the retrieval data may also include other content, which is not limited. The start time of the target video file is the earliest time of all initial video files corresponding to the target video file.

For example, see FIG5A , which is an example of the retrieval result thumbnail. As can be seen from FIG5A , the channel identifier AAA can correspond to 6 target video files, the start time of the first target video file is 2023/11/10 12:10:10, and the thumbnail of the first target video file is shown, the channel identifier of the first target video file is the channel identifier AAA, and the first target video file represents a data item of the retrieval result thumbnail, and so on. The channel identifier BBB can correspond to 8 target video files, the start time of the first target video file is 2023/11/11 10:10:10, and the thumbnail of the first target video file is shown, the channel identifier of the first target video file is the channel identifier BBB, and the first target video file represents a data item of the retrieval result thumbnail, and so on.

In a possible implementation, when the search result thumbnail is displayed on the target display interface, the search result thumbnail is initially loaded with K data items, where K may be a positive integer. For example, if K is 150, the search result thumbnail is initially loaded with 150 data items, that is, the search result thumbnail shown in FIG5A displays 150 data items. In the subsequent process, the remaining data items may be incrementally loaded by scrolling.

Step 405: Display the target timeline on the target display interface. For example, if the display mode of the client device is a thumbnail display mode, the search result thumbnail and the target timeline are displayed simultaneously on the target display interface. The target timeline may include multiple time intervals and a display mark corresponding to each time interval, and the display mark indicates whether the target video file exists in the time interval or not.

Step 406: If a floating operation instruction for a first time interval in which target video files exist is received, the channel identifiers and/or start times of all target video files corresponding to the first time interval are displayed.

Step 407: If a click operation instruction is received for the first target video file (any target video file) corresponding to the first time interval, the screen of the first target video file is played, and/or the search result list displayed on the target display interface is jumped to the data item corresponding to the first target video file.

Step 405-Step 407 are similar to Step 205-Step 207, except that the search result list is replaced with the search result thumbnails. For example, see Figure 5B, which is a schematic diagram of simultaneously displaying the search result thumbnails and the target timeline on the target display interface. Step 405-Step 407 will not be repeated here.

As can be seen from the above technical solutions, in the disclosed embodiment, multiple time intervals are divided based on the duration of the video clip, the initial video files in the time interval are combined to obtain the target video file, and the search data of the target video file is displayed, thereby integrating the video files in the time interval, and displaying the video files with the time interval as the granularity, thereby improving the user experience and display performance. The search result thumbnail and the target time axis are displayed on the target display interface at the same time, so as to link the target time axis and the search result thumbnail, display the time distribution of the overall search result through the target time axis, and display the search result of the video file through the search result thumbnail. In this way, both the time distribution of the overall search result and the search result of the video file can be viewed, thereby improving the user experience and improving the display performance. It can solve the problem that the search result with a large amount of data is loaded in pages and the overall storage status of the video file cannot be perceived. It can solve the problem that the required video file cannot be judged due to the large size of the video file. A solution is designed that takes into account performance and supports paging data loading, and can conveniently and quickly split the video file. By displaying all the data of this search of all channels on the target time axis, the time axis is automatically split to obtain the search result video file.
