Description

Music playing method and device and intelligent terminal

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to terminal technologies, and in particular, to a music playing method and apparatus, and an intelligent terminal.

Background

With the continuous development of society, people have more and more demand for intelligent terminals, and besides performing ordinary voice and short message functions, the intelligent terminals also need to enjoy various services such as browsing webpages and listening to music from the terminals. For example, the music playing function of the smart phone may support random playing, i.e., the user does not manually select a specific song, but the music playing system in the smart phone automatically randomly selects a song to play to the user.

Disclosure of Invention

The present disclosure provides a music playing method and apparatus, and an intelligent terminal, so as to implement random music playing meeting user preferences.

According to a first aspect of embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a music playing method, the method including:

determining a value interval corresponding to each song in the alternative song library based on the user preference;

determining an interval of a value interval corresponding to each song and using the interval as a selection interval, and randomly generating a random value for selecting the song in the selection interval;

and detecting a value interval matched with the random value, determining the value interval as a target interval, and playing the song corresponding to the target interval.

In one example, the determining a value range corresponding to each song in the alternative song library based on the user preference includes: acquiring the first time of completely playing each song, and setting the weight corresponding to each song to be increased along with the increase of the first time; and determining a value interval corresponding to each song based on the real-time weight of each song. When the number of times of the songs are completely played is increased, the weight is correspondingly increased, and the distribution of the value intervals of the songs can reflect the favorite of the user on the songs.

In one example, the determining a value range corresponding to each song in the alternative song library based on the user preference includes: acquiring a second time of each song during playing, wherein the second time is used for representing the time of the song being cut to the next song in the playing sequence during playing, and the weight corresponding to each song is set to be reduced along with the increase of the second time; and determining a value interval corresponding to each song based on the real-time weight of each song. The method enables the distribution of the value intervals of the songs to reflect the dislikes of the user on the songs, and the user can cut the songs only when the user dislikes the songs.

In one example, if the second number reaches a preset number, the weight corresponding to the song is cleared or set to zero. This approach may effectively assist the user in not playing a disliked song.

In one example, if the song is cut to the previous song in the playing sequence while the song is being played, the weight of the song is not changed, and the weight corresponding to the previous song is increased. The method can more accurately judge the preference of the user to the songs, and the distribution of the value intervals corresponding to the songs more conforms to the preference of the user to the songs.

According to a second aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a music playing apparatus, the apparatus including:

the interval determination module is used for determining a value interval corresponding to each song in the alternative song library based on the preference of the user;

a random selection module, configured to determine an interval of a value interval corresponding to each song and use the interval as a selection interval, and randomly generate a random value for selecting a song in the selection interval;

and the music playing module is used for detecting the value interval matched with the random value, determining the value interval as a target interval and playing the song corresponding to the target interval.

In one example, the interval determination module includes:

the first weight setting unit is used for acquiring the first times of completely playing each song, and setting the weight corresponding to each song to be increased along with the increase of the first times;

and the first interval determining unit is used for determining a value interval corresponding to each song based on the real-time weight of each song.

In one example, the interval determination module includes:

the second weight setting unit is used for acquiring a second frequency of each song during playing, the second frequency is used for indicating the frequency of the song being cut to the next song in the playing sequence during playing, and the weight corresponding to each song is set to be reduced along with the increase of the second frequency;

and the second interval determining unit is used for determining the value interval corresponding to each song based on the real-time weight of each song.

In an example, the second weight setting unit is further configured to clear the weight corresponding to the song or set the weight corresponding to the song to zero when the second number reaches a preset number.

In an example, the second weight setting unit is further configured to, when the song is cut to a previous song in the playing order while the song is playing, set the weight of the song to be unchanged and the weight corresponding to the previous song to be increased.

According to a third aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided an intelligent terminal, including:

a processor;

a memory for storing processor-executable instructions;

wherein the processor is configured to: determining a value interval corresponding to each song in the alternative song library based on the user preference; determining an interval of a value interval corresponding to each song and using the interval as a selection interval, and randomly generating a random value for selecting the song in the selection interval; and detecting a value interval matched with the random value, determining the value interval as a target interval, and playing the song corresponding to the target interval.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can have the following beneficial effects: the value intervals of the songs are determined based on the user preferences, so that the intervals corresponding to the songs preferred by different users are different, and the matching probability of the random value and the value interval is also different, so that the songs are selected to be played according to the different user preferences and different probabilities, and the random music playing meeting the user preferences can be realized.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the disclosure.

Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

The music playing method disclosed by the invention can be used for random music playing in the intelligent terminal, for example, the method can be adopted when the intelligent mobile phone plays songs randomly.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a music playing method according to an exemplary embodiment, where the method may be performed by a music playing device in charge of music playing in an intelligent terminal, and the music playing device may be, for example, a music player, and the method may include:

101. determining a value interval corresponding to each song in the alternative song library based on the user preference;

102. determining an interval of a value interval corresponding to each song and using the interval as a selection interval, and randomly generating a random value for selecting the song in the selection interval;

103. and detecting a value interval matched with the random value, determining the value interval as a target interval, and playing the song corresponding to the target interval.

The following describes the flow of the music playing method with reference to fig. 2: in step 101, the music playing device may determine a corresponding value interval for each song in the alternative song library, where an example of the value interval may be as shown in fig. 2, for example, the value interval corresponding to song a is "0 to 0.3", the value interval corresponding to song B is "0.3 to 0.5", and the value interval is represented in a form of a numerical segment, but may be represented in other forms in specific implementation, which is not limited thereto.

The value interval of the above example is determined for each song, which may be determined based on user preferences; for example, if the user likes song a, a larger value interval is determined for song a, for example, the value interval "0 to 0.3" includes three small segments (the range length of each small segment is 0.1), and the user does not like song B relatively, so the value interval "0.3 to 0.5" allocated for song B includes two small segments, which is smaller than the value interval of song a. Therefore, in the principle of determining the value interval based on the user preference, the size of the value interval may be set to be in direct proportion to the preference of the user for the song, and the more the user likes the song, the larger the value interval determined for the song is.

After determining the corresponding value interval for each song in the alternative song library, the music playing device will generate a random number for song selection in 102. The random number may be generated by a random number generator, such as shown in fig. 2, which may randomly assign a value to x by a rand function, for example, with the value of x ranging from 0 to 1, such as 0.7. It should be noted that, when the random value is generated in this step, the random value may be generated in the range of the sum of the intervals of the value intervals corresponding to the songs. Still taking fig. 2 as an example, if only three songs, namely song a, song B, and song C, are in the song selection library of the device, corresponding value intervals have been determined for the three songs in fig. 2, respectively, and the sum of the interval of the three songs is 0 to 1.0, the random number generator will randomly generate a random number value within the range of 0 to 1.0, and if the sum of the interval of the songs in the song selection library is 0 to 2.0, the random number value will be generated within the range of 0 to 2.0. The above-mentioned section sum may be referred to as a selection section, and a random numerical value is generated in the selection section.

In step 103, the music playing apparatus may detect a value section matching the generated random value, where "matching" refers to which value section the random value falls in to match the value section. Referring to the example of fig. 2, taking three songs as an example, the value interval corresponding to song a is "0 to 0.3", the value interval corresponding to song B is "0.3 to 0.5", and the value interval corresponding to song C is "0.5 to 1.0", it is obvious that the random number 0.7 generated by the random number generator is exactly located in the value interval of "0.5 to 1.0", and in a specific implementation, it can be determined that 0.7 is located in the range section by comparing the values of "0.5 <0.7< 1.0". The value interval matched with the random numerical value can be called a target interval, and the song corresponding to the target interval is played; for example, as the random value 0.7 matches the value interval corresponding to the song C, the music playing device can play the song C.

For another example, the random number generator in the example of fig. 2 generates another random number 0.1, and the same principle can be obtained, where the value of 0.1 matches the value interval "0-0.3" corresponding to song a, and the interval is the target interval, and then the music playing device plays song a. In addition, as can be seen from fig. 2, the coverage ranges of the value intervals corresponding to different songs are different, the value interval "0.5-1.0" of song C covers five small segments, the value interval of song a covers three small segments, and the value interval of song B covers two small segments (ten small segments between 0 and 1.0 are equidistant, i.e., equal-length segments). The larger the coverage of the value-taking interval is, the larger the probability of being matched by the random value is, for example, the larger the range of the song C is, the relatively larger the probability of being matched by the random value is, that is, in the random play mode illustrated in fig. 2, the probability of random play of each song is different.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, different songs in the alternative song library correspond to different value intervals, and can be determined according to different songs having different user preferences; for example, if the user likes song C in particular, the coverage of the value interval corresponding to song C is larger, whereas if the user does not like song B too much, the coverage of the value interval corresponding to song B is smaller. Therefore, the music playing of the present disclosure realizes the corresponding adjustment of the probability of the selected song to be played according to the preference of the user to the song, and the intelligent random song selection according with the preference of the user is realized.

As will be described in the following by way of example, how to determine the value interval corresponding to the song according to the preference of the user for the song, and the operation of determining the value interval corresponding to the song may be performed before the flow illustrated in fig. 1.

The preference of the user to the song can be judged by the operation of the user when listening to the song. For example, if a user has listened to a song in its entirety and played it multiple times in its entirety, it is an indication that the user may like the song; if the user cuts a song while listening to the song without the end of the playback (e.g., switches to the previous or next song), this indicates that the user may dislike the song. The music playing device can set the value interval corresponding to the song.

In one example, the music playing device may record the number of times the song was played in its entirety, which may be referred to as a first number (this "first" is used to distinguish from the number of subsequent occurrences, in actual practice, different numbers may be distinguished with different identifications). For example, the music playing apparatus may monitor which song starts playing and finishes playing completely, and if the song finishes playing completely, record the name of the song and the number of times of playing completely; for example, "Song C, 1 time" is recorded. If a song is played by the user multiple times in its entirety, the times are accumulated accordingly, for example, to "Song C, 5 times".

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the music playing apparatus may convert the first number into a weight corresponding to a song, for example, after a song is completely played for the first time, a basic weight value q may be generated for the song, for example, the q value may be 1; when the user plays the song again, the weighting of the song is obtained by multiplying the number of plays on the basis of q. For example, after the first complete playback of song C, the weight of song C is 1(q), and after the second complete playback, the weight of song C is 1(q) × 2 ═ 2, that is, the song weight may be n × q. It can be seen that as the first number increases, the corresponding weight of the song also increases.

In addition, the user of the smart terminal may not start the smart play mode within a period of time (the mode corresponds to the music play method according to the present disclosure), then the music play device may record the number of times of the period of time, for example, the first number of times, and after the user starts the smart play mode (for example, the user selects an option of starting the smart play mode in the smart phone), it is equivalent to that the music play device receives a mode start instruction, and then the storage module may obtain the recorded first number of times, and perform weight conversion.

After obtaining the weight corresponding to the song, the music playing device may further set a value interval corresponding to the song according to the real-time weight of each song, where the value interval corresponds to the weight of the song, and the higher the weight is, the larger the coverage of the value interval is. For example, still referring to the example of fig. 2, assuming that the weight of song a is 3, the weight of song B is 2, and the weight of song C is 5, three small segments are allocated to song a from each small segment in fig. 2, the value interval of song a is "0 to 0.3", two small segments are allocated to song B, the value interval of song B is "0.3 to 0.5", five small segments are allocated to song C, and the value interval of song C is "0.5 to 1.0". It can be seen that the lower the weight, the fewer the correspondingly allocated segments, and the smaller the coverage of the value range.

It should be noted that, when the value interval corresponding to the song is determined, the order of allocating the small segments to the song may be flexibly set, for example, five small segments may be allocated to song C first, the value interval of song C is "0 to 0.5", then two small segments (small segments "0.5 to 0.6" and small segments "0.6 to 0.7") are allocated to song B, the value interval of song B is "0.5 to 0.7", and finally three small segments are allocated to song a, and the value interval of song C is "0.7 to 1.0". The change of the sequence does not affect the probability of randomly selecting the songs, because the larger the value-taking interval is, the larger the coverage is, the higher the probability of matching the value-taking interval is, which is irrelevant to the position of the value-taking interval.

In addition, in the above-mentioned situation, for example, when the user cuts off the time and turns on the smart play mode again, the music playing device will obtain the updated statistics of the number of times, and update the weight corresponding to the song and the distribution of the value-taking interval accordingly, for example, the weight of the song C is 5, and the updated weight is 7, then the number of the small segments distributed to the song C will be increased by two, and the corresponding value-taking interval range will also change.

It should be noted that the number of small segments pre-stored by the music playing device for allocating to each song is sufficient, for example, as illustrated in fig. 3, it is assumed that there are 100 small segments, each of which has a range of 0.01, and the initial weight of song a is 3, three small segments are allocated, the value interval is "0 to 0.03", the weight of song B is 2, and the corresponding value interval is "0.03 to 0.05". When the number of times that the user completely listens to the song A after the partition time is increased twice and the weight is changed to 5, the number of the small sections allocated to the song A is increased by two, the value range is changed to 0-0.05, and the value range of the corresponding song B is changed to 0.05-0.07. In this case, the random value may be 0.02, and if the value interval of song a is matched, song a is played; or may be 0.025 and also match song a.

In another example, the music playing apparatus may further record a second number of times when the song is played, where the second number of times may be used to indicate a number of times when the song is played to be switched to a next song in the playing sequence, for example, songs in the alternative song library may have a default playing sequence when played, and are sequentially played in the sequence, and if the song is played to one of the songs, and the song is switched to the next song without being played, the second number corresponding to the song is incremented by one.

The music playing device also sets the weight corresponding to the song according to the second time number, and the weight corresponding to the song is set to be reduced along with the increase of the second time number, namely, the song is cut to the next song during playing, which indicates that the user may not like the song, so the weight of the song is reduced. For example, the basic weight value of a song may be set to q, when the song is cut for the first time, the weight of the song becomes q/2, and when the user cuts the song for n times, the weight of the song is q/(n + 1). The above is only an example of a conversion manner from the times to the weights, and other conversion formulas can be used in practical implementation as long as the relationship between the weights and the changes of the times can be embodied, for example, the weights are decreased when the second times are increased.

In addition, if the song is cut to the previous song in the playing sequence when the song is played, the user may like the previous song, not hear enough yet, and does not dislike the current song, so the weight of the song to be cut may be set to be unchanged, and the weight corresponding to the previous song may be increased, for example, increased by one. In the manner, even if the song is switched, whether the song is switched to the previous song or the next song is distinguished, different preferences of the user are represented according to different switching directions, different setting modes are adopted for the weight of the current song of the song switching, and the preferences of the user are reflected more accurately.

The music playing device also sets the value intervals of the songs to be corresponding to the weights, and the lower the weights, the smaller the coverage of the value intervals is. For example, if a song is cut twice, the corresponding weight is 1/3, 1/3 small segments are allocated to the song, and if the example of fig. 2 is combined, a value interval of "0-1/30" (one small segment is 1/10) may be allocated to the song. It can be understood that the smaller the value interval, the smaller the probability of matching, so that the probability of randomly playing a song that is disliked by the user can be reduced.

In yet another example, the music playing method of the present disclosure may also automatically skip disliked songs for the user, i.e., no longer play songs determined to be disliked by the user. For example, when the music playing device obtains the second number of times that a song is cut to the next song, whether the second number of times reaches the preset number of times can be further judged, if the second number of times reaches the preset number of times, namely the user cuts the song for multiple times, the user can default that the user does not like the song, the weight corresponding to the song is not set, and therefore the value interval corresponding to the song is not set, and the song is not played any more. For example, when the preset number of times is 5, if the second number of times is greater than or equal to 5 (or may be set to be greater than 5), the music playing apparatus will not play the song any more, in a specific implementation, for example, when the second number of times reaches the preset number of times, the weight corresponding to the song is removed or the weight of the song is set to zero, so if the weight of the song is zero or does not exist, a value interval corresponding to the weight is not allocated to the song any more, and if the song does not have a value interval (which is equivalent to the value interval being zero), the random value will not fall in the interval, the interval will not become the target interval, and the corresponding song will not be selected, so that the song will not be played any more.

According to the music playing method, operation of the user in listening to the music, such as operation of playing the song completely or cutting the song, is detected, preference of the user to the song is judged automatically, corresponding weight is generated according to the preference, probability that the songs with different preferences are played randomly is different according to the weight, the more favorite song is played, the higher the weight value is, the higher the played probability is, the less favorite song is, the lower the weight value is, the lower the played possibility is, and intelligent music playing conforming to preference of the user is realized.

As shown in fig. 4, a music playing device of the present disclosure for executing the above music playing method is illustrated, the structure of the device is briefly described, and the specific working principle can be combined with the method embodiment. As shown in fig. 4, the music playing apparatus may include: an interval determination module 41, a random selection module 42, and a music play module 43. Wherein,

Further, the second weight setting unit 413 is further configured to, when the song is switched to a previous song in the playing order during playing of the song, set the weight of the song to be unchanged and the weight corresponding to the previous song to be increased.
