Exemplary method

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for creating an interactive video file according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, where the method for creating an interactive video file may be used in the server shown in fig. 1, and at least includes the following steps:

and 11, determining an interactive video script file based on a plurality of video fragments which are acquired and used for forming an interactive video, wherein the interactive video script file is used for describing logic information among the plurality of video fragments, display time of an interactive page and a target interactive pattern, and the target interactive pattern is used for determining page presentation of the interactive page.

In this step, because the interactive video is different from the conventional video, one interactive video is generally composed of a plurality of video clips, in order to realize that the plurality of video clips are played according to a certain rule, an interactive video script file for driving the interactive video to play is important, and in the interactive video script file, logic information among the plurality of video clips, a presentation timing of an interactive page, and a target interactive style are described, that is, the interactive video script file is a file set composed of the logic information, the target interactive style, and the like. The logic information is used for indicating various branching storylines formed by a plurality of video clips, and specifically, a switching relation among the plurality of video clips is limited, if the video clip A which is played first is A, the user can select between the video clip B and the video clip C after the video clip A is played, and the user can select between the video clip D and the video clip E after the video clip B is played. And displaying an interactive page when the user selects each time, wherein the interactive page is a page which is presented at the terminal and used for the user to select after a certain video clip is completely played according to logic information, and the user selects on the interactive page to determine the subsequent branching storyline. The specific page presentation of the interactive page is determined by a target interactive style, for example, the target interactive style determines that the page background of an interactive page is a star image, two selection buttons are arranged on the page, and the text contents on the two selection buttons respectively walk left and right. Specifically, one interactive style includes, but is not limited to, select buttons, page background, button background, title text, button text, animation file used, dynamic file implementing style use, and the like.

For example, one interactive video includes 3 video segments: fragment a, fragment B and fragment C. According to the interactive video script file, when the segment A is played, an interactive interface is generated by taking the ending time point of the segment A as the display time, wherein the target interaction style corresponding to the interactive interface can comprise two selection buttons, namely a selection button 1 and a selection button 2, and if the user selects 1, the segment B is further played after the segment A is played; if the user selects 2, further play segment C after playing segment a.

In one possible implementation manner, an editor uploads all video clips required by an interactive video in an interactive video production platform, then obtains a plurality of video clips for forming the interactive video, performs unified configuration of interactive video logic, and performs production to produce an interactive video set and an interactive video script file formed by the video clips, wherein each video clip in the interactive video set has a video clip identifier, namely a unique id, which is used for distinguishing different video clips and can be played by each playing platform. Specifically, when the interactive video script file describes logic information among a plurality of video clips, video clip identifiers corresponding to the video clips respectively are described.

Step 12, at least one supporting playing platform for playing the interactive video file is obtained.

In this step, different support playing platforms correspond to different playing environments, and the support playing platforms include, but are not limited to ios (mobile phone end), android (mobile phone end), h5 (corresponding to browser end), tv (television end), pc (computer end), and the like. Specifically, the user is allowed to select one or more support playing platforms. Of course, the configuration of the support playing platform can be performed in advance, the configuration information is stored, and at least one support playing platform for playing the interactive video file is determined according to the configuration information.

In one possible implementation manner, after the editor acquires the interactive video set and the interactive video script file, displaying a checking interface of the playing platform, and responding to a checking instruction of the editor on the checking interface, taking the checked object of the editor as a supporting playing platform. For example, if the editor has checked ios, android, h and pc at the check interface, the support playback platform includes 4 objects, ios, android, h and pc.

And step 13, acquiring target differentiated style data corresponding to each support playing platform respectively based on the at least one support playing platform and the target interactive style, wherein the target differentiated style data is data with differences among different playing platforms in the target interactive style.

In this step, because the playing environments of the different playing platforms are different, the same interactive video file cannot be played on the different playing platforms, so that in order to cope with the different playing environments, the differentiated style data in the interactive style is extracted in advance. The differentiated style data is data having differences between different playing platforms in the interactive style, specifically, data unrelated to the content of the Chinese in the interactive style, for example, the differentiated style data may include animation files used by the style, dynamic files (H5, lua, etc.) used by the style, style background pictures, etc. That is, the interactive style may be divided into platform universal style data and differential style data, where the platform universal style data is the same on each playing platform and mainly includes text content, specifically, title text content, button text content, etc., and playing is performed on different playing platforms, where the platform universal style data content is unchanged, e.g., at ios end and tv end, for a certain interactive style, title text content of "which room XX should enter" and button text content of "room a", "room B" are displayed. The differentiated style data corresponds to different data when played by different playing platforms, such as different image sizes and resolutions of page backgrounds of a certain interactive style at ios end and tv end. Specifically, after the interactive video script file and the support playing platform are obtained, target differentiated style data corresponding to each support playing platform respectively can be obtained according to the obtained support playing platform and the target interaction style described in the interactive video script file.

It should be noted that, for text content in an interactive style, the same is used on different playback platforms, and for differentiated style data in an interactive style, the same may be used on different playback platforms, but for interactive styles in which the same platform is different only from text content. For example, the interactive style 1 and the interactive style 2 differ in that the title literal of the interactive style 1 is "which room XX should enter", one button literal is a room a, one button literal is a room B, the title literal of the interactive style 2 is "which color XX should be selected", one button literal is "red", and one button literal is "blue". The page background, button background, animation file and dynamic file used by the interactive style 1 and the interactive style 2 are the same, that is, different interactive styles of the same playing platform may correspond to the same differentiated style data. The design quantity of the differentiated style data is effectively reduced, and the design efficiency of the differentiated style data is improved.

In one embodiment, the step 13 includes:

Step 131, reading a target style identifier corresponding to the target interactive style in the interactive video script file.

In this step, style identifications (style ids) having uniqueness for distinguishing different interactive styles are determined in advance for the different interactive styles. The interactive video script file is described with a target interactive style corresponding to the interactive interface, so that after the interactive video script file is obtained, a target style identifier corresponding to the interactive style in the interactive video script file can be read.

Furthermore, because a plurality of target style identifiers often exist in the interactive video script file, all the target style identifiers can be formed into a style array, and the style array is a sequence formed by all the target style identifiers and is set as a styleArray so as to be convenient for subsequent use.

Step 132, obtaining a target platform identifier corresponding to each supported playing platform.

In this step, a platform identifier (platform id) is set for the playing platform in advance, where the platform identifier has uniqueness and is used for distinguishing different playing platforms, for example, the platform identifier may be ios, android, h, tv, pc; of course, the ios platform identifier may be set to 1, the android platform identifier may be set to 2, the h5 platform identifier may be set to 3, the tv platform identifier may be set to 4, and the pc platform identifier may be set to 5. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the setting content of the platform identifier is not specifically limited, and the user may set according to an actual application scenario. After the supporting playing platforms are obtained, the target platform identification corresponding to each supporting playing platform can be determined.

And step 133, selecting target differentiated style data which is the same as the platform identifier and the target platform identifier and has the same style identifier and the target style identifier from the pre-stored differentiated style data.

In this step, the differential style data is stored in advance, where the stored differential style data includes differential style data corresponding to each interactive style of each playing platform, that is, the stored differential style data has a corresponding style identifier and platform identifier. And then selecting data according to the target platform identifier and the target style identifier, and determining target differentiated style data.

For example, there are 5 playback platforms: ios, android, h5, tv, pc, there are 3 interaction patterns: the method comprises the steps of determining differentiated style data corresponding to 3 interactive styles on 5 playing platforms in advance, and storing the interactive style data by using style id+platform id, namely, an interactive style 1+ios, an interactive style 1+android, an interactive style 1+h5, an interactive style 1+tv and an interactive style 1+pc; interactive style 2+ios, interactive style 2+android, interactive style 2+h5, interactive style 2+tv, interactive style 2+pc; the interactive style 3+ios, the interactive style 3+android, the interactive style 3+h5, the interactive style 3+tv, the interactive style 3+pc, and 15 pieces of differentiated style data in total. Of course, the 15 differentiated style data may be stored in groups according to the playback platform. After the target platform identifier and the target style identifier are determined, the target differentiated style data with the same platform identifier and the same style identifier as the target platform identifier can be determined. If the target platform marks are ios, android and pc and the target styles are marked as the interactive styles 1 and 3, the target differential style data selected from the 15 differential style data are: the interactive style 1+ios, the interactive style 1+android, the interactive style 1+pc, the interactive style 3+ios, the interactive style 3+android, the interactive style 3+pc.

Further, if there are 5 playing platforms: ios, android, h5, tv, pc, there are 3 interaction patterns: if the interactive style 1, the interactive style 2 and the interactive style 3 are different in text content, namely the interactive style 1, the interactive style 2 and the interactive style 3 correspond to the same differentiated style data, at this time, after the interactive style 1+ios is determined, copying and renaming operations can be performed to determine 3 pieces of differentiated style data, namely the interactive style 1+ios, the interactive style 2+ios and the interactive style 3+ios. Of course, 1 piece of differential style data, namely, the interactive style 1+the interactive style 2+the interactive style 3+ios, can be determined, and the interactive style 1, the interactive style 2 and the interactive style 3 are indicated to correspond to the differential style data in the ios environment, so that the quantity of the differential style data is effectively reduced.

In this embodiment, a style identifier is set for an interactive style in advance, a platform identifier is set for a playing platform, and differentiated style data corresponding to each interactive style of each playing platform is stored in advance, so that target differentiated style data can be determined quickly and accurately in the following process.

In one embodiment, the step 133 includes:

Step 1331, determining priorities corresponding to the target platform identifiers respectively, wherein the priorities are used for indicating the sequence of determining the target differentiated style data.

In this step, a priority list is set for the playing platform in advance, so that after the target platform identifier is determined, the priorities corresponding to the target platform identifiers can be determined according to the priority list, the priorities are used for indicating the sequence of determining the target differentiated pattern data, and different priorities correspond to different determining sequences, so that when the target differentiated pattern data is subsequently constructed, the sequential processing can be performed according to the priority sequence, the determination of the subsequent target differentiated pattern data is avoided, and the sequential rapid sequential determination of the target differentiated pattern data corresponding to each supporting playing platform is facilitated.

Step 1332, based on the priorities corresponding to the target platform identifiers, sequentially obtaining data identical to the target platform identifiers from the prestored differentiated pattern data, and sequentially determining target differentiated pattern data identical to the target pattern identifiers from the data identical to the target platform identifiers.

In this step, after determining the priorities corresponding to the target platform identifiers, the data reading order may be determined, and the data identical to the target platform identifiers are sequentially read from the prestored differential pattern data, so as to obtain the data identical to the target platform identifiers.

For example, the obtained target platform identifier is ios, android, h, the corresponding priorities are ios highest, android second highest, h5 lowest, and the target styles in the styleArray are identified as interaction style 1 and interaction style 3. Firstly determining the data which are the same as ios in the stored differentiated style data, and determining target differentiated style data corresponding to the interactive style 1 and target differentiated style data corresponding to the interactive style 3 in the data which are the same as ios, so as to obtain two target differentiated style data corresponding to the ios of the support playing platform; then determining the same data as the android, and determining target differentiated style data corresponding to the interactive style 1 and target differentiated style data corresponding to the interactive style 3 in the same data as the android, so as to obtain two target differentiated style data corresponding to the supporting playing platform android; and finally, determining the data same as h5, and determining target differentiated style data corresponding to the interactive style 1 and target differentiated style data corresponding to the interactive style 3 in the data same as h5, thereby obtaining two target differentiated style data corresponding to the supported playing platform h 5. And when the differential style data is stored, the differential style data can be stored in groups according to the playing platform to obtain different storage files, so that after the priorities corresponding to the target platform identifications are determined, the different storage files are sequentially read according to the determined sequence of the priorities to obtain the data identical to the target platform identifications.

And 14, respectively packaging the target differentiated style data corresponding to each support playing platform with the interactive video script file to obtain the interactive video file corresponding to each support playing platform.

In an embodiment, after target differential style data corresponding to each support playing platform is obtained, packaging is performed on the files for each support playing platform, namely, all target differential style data corresponding to the support playing platform and the interactive video script file are packaged to obtain the interactive video file corresponding to the support playing platform, and how many support playing platforms exist, how many interactive video files are obtained, that is, how many interactive video files corresponding to at least one support playing platform are created at one time, so that the creation efficiency of the interactive video file is effectively improved, and the development cost is reduced.

In the above embodiment, by obtaining an interactive video script file, at least a target interaction style for determining page presentation of an interactive page is described in the interactive video script file, then at least one support playing platform for playing the interactive video file is obtained, further target differentiated style data corresponding to each support playing platform respectively is obtained according to at least one support playing platform and the target interaction style, and further the target differentiated style data corresponding to each support playing platform respectively is packaged with the video script file respectively, so as to obtain the interactive video file corresponding to each support playing platform respectively. According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment, the differential style data in the interactive styles of different playing platforms are effectively extracted, so that when the interactive video file is created, different playing environments of different playing platforms can be dealt with by selecting the mode of selecting the target differential style data, all the interactive video files supporting the playing platforms can be created at one time, the playing of the interactive video on the different playing platforms can be realized by utilizing the different interactive video files, and the creation efficiency of the interactive video file is effectively improved.

In one embodiment, the step 14 further includes:

and 15, determining a video identifier corresponding to an interactive video set, wherein the interactive video set consists of the plurality of video clips.

And step 16, determining the file name of each interactive video file based on the video identification and the target platform identification corresponding to each interactive video file, and storing each interactive video file under the same directory, wherein the file names are used for distinguishing different interactive video files under the storage directory.

In this embodiment, after an interactive video set formed by a plurality of video clips is determined, a video identifier (video id) corresponding to the interactive video set is determined, where the video identifier has uniqueness and is used for distinguishing videos, and determining the video identifier is beneficial to quickly and accurately determining the video that the user intends to play. After the video identification is determined, each interactive video file corresponds to a supporting playing platform, and the supporting playing platform corresponds to a target platform identification, so that the file name of each interactive video file can be determined according to the video identification and the target platform identification (such as video id+platform name), then each interactive video file is stored in the same directory, and different interactive video files are distinguished by using the text names, thereby being beneficial to a subsequent terminal to acquire the interactive video file and play the interactive video.

For example, after determining the target differential style data corresponding to the support playing platforms ios, h5 and pc respectively, placing all the target differential style data corresponding to the ios and the interactive video script file in a same folder, and packaging into compression formats such as zip/rar to obtain the interactive video file, and renaming the packaged interactive video file according to the formats: video id+ios; all the target differentiated style data and the interactive video script files corresponding to h5 are placed in the same folder, and are packed into compression formats such as zip/rar, so that the interactive video files are obtained, and the packed interactive video files are renamed, wherein the formats are as follows: video id+h5; placing all target differentiated style data and interactive video script files corresponding to pc in the same folder, packaging the files into compression formats such as zip/rar and the like to obtain the interactive video file, and renaming the packaged interactive video file, wherein the formats are as follows: video id+pc. Thereby obtaining the renamed interactive video file. The renamed interactive video file can be further uploaded to the cloud platform, so that a subsequent terminal can acquire the interactive video file to play the interactive video. And for the interactive video files corresponding to different support playing platforms, the naming of the interactive video files is different, the storage and access catalogs of the interactive video files at the server are the same, and the storage catalogue addresses and video ids are stored in the server. When the interactive video is played by the subsequent terminal, the video id can be identified, the same video content can be played by different playing platforms by using the same video id, and the interactive video script file is analyzed and processed according to the same format and the same logic, namely, the playing logic of the interactive video is realized according to a unified protocol.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a playing method of an interactive video according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, where the playing method of the interactive video may be used in the terminal shown in fig. 1, and at least includes the following steps:

and step 31, responding to the playing instruction of the target interactive video, and acquiring the target interactive video file.

In this step, the target interactive video is the interactive video that the user intends to play. In one possible application scenario, a user opens a video app, selects an interactive video a from the video app, and at this time, the video a is the target interactive video, and the user clicks a play button on a page, i.e. issues a play instruction, and responds to the play instruction to obtain a target interactive video file. The target interactive video file is used for driving the playing of the target interactive video.

Specifically, a data acquisition request is sent to a server in response to a playing instruction of a target interactive video, wherein the data acquisition request carries a target video identifier corresponding to the target interactive video; and the terminal receives a target storage address returned by the server based on the data acquisition request, and acquires a target interactive video file based on the target storage address.

In one embodiment, the step 31 includes:

step 311, in response to the playing instruction of the target interactive video, a data acquisition request is sent to the server, where the data acquisition request carries a target video identifier corresponding to the target interactive video.

In this step, after the user issues the play command at the terminal, the terminal needs to acquire data from the server in order to play the interactive data, so that the terminal sends a data acquisition request to the server, and in order to make the server clear that the terminal needs to acquire the relevant data of the target interactive video, the data acquisition request carries a target video identifier corresponding to the target interactive video.

Step 312, receiving a target storage address returned by the server based on the data acquisition request, where the target storage address stores a plurality of interactive video files, and file names of the plurality of interactive video files are different.

In the step, a storage catalog of the interactive video file and a video identifier are stored in a server, after the server receives a data acquisition request carrying the target video identifier, the target storage catalog corresponding to the interactive video file is determined according to the video identifier, a target storage address of the target storage catalog is returned to the terminal, and the terminal receives the target storage address returned by the server.

And step 313, determining a target file name based on the target video identification and the terminal platform identification.

In this step, after the server obtains the interactive video file corresponding to each supporting playing platform, renaming is performed for the interactive video file based on the video identifier and the platform identifier, so that when the terminal obtains a certain interactive video file, the naming rule is the same as that of the server, and the name of the target file, for example, the format is the video identifier+the platform identifier, is determined.

And step 314, adding the target file name to the target storage address to obtain a target file downloading address.

In this step, after determining the target file name, adding the target file name to the received target storage directory to obtain a target file download address, where the target file download address points to a target interactive video file stored in the target storage address and having the same target file name.

And step 315, acquiring the target interactive video file based on the target file downloading address.

In the step, after the file downloading address is obtained, downloading the target interactive video file in the cloud platform to obtain the target interactive video file.

In this embodiment, when an interactive video file needs to be acquired, a data acquisition request is sent to a server, a target file name is determined according to a target storage directory returned by the server and a terminal platform identifier, and the target interactive video file is downloaded in a cloud platform according to the target file name, so that the target interactive video file is accurately and timely acquired.

Step 32, analyzing the target interactive video file to obtain a target interactive video script file and the target differentiated style data; the target differentiated style data is data which is adaptive to the terminal playing platform in the target interaction style corresponding to the interaction page, but has differences among different playing platforms.

In this step, after the target interactive video file is obtained, the target interactive video file is parsed to obtain a target interactive video script file and target differentiated style data included in the target interactive video file, where the target interactive video script file is used to describe logic information between a plurality of video segments, display timing of an interactive page, and a target interactive style, and the target interactive style is used to determine page presentation of the interactive page. The differentiated style data is data in the interactive style, which has differences between different playing platforms, and specifically, is data in the interactive style, which is irrelevant to text content. The target differentiated style data in the step is data which is adaptive to the terminal playing platform and irrelevant to the text content in the target interaction style corresponding to the interaction page.

For example, the playing platform corresponding to the terminal is ios, the interactive video intended to be played by the user is the interactive video m, so that the obtained target file name is m+ios, the obtained corresponding target interactive video file is analyzed to obtain the target interactive video script file, if the target interactive style corresponding to the target interactive video script file is interactive style 1 and interactive style 3, the target differential style data is interactive style 1+ios, and the interactive style 3+ios.

Step 33, extracting text content of the target interaction style in the target interaction video script file according to each switching among a plurality of video segments corresponding to the target interaction video when the target interaction video is played based on the target interaction video script file; generating an interaction page based on the text content and the target differentiated style data; and responding to the input instruction of the interactive page, determining a target video clip selected by the input instruction based on logic information in the target interactive video script file, and playing the target video clip.

In the step, when a plurality of video clips corresponding to a target interactive video are switched according to logic information described by a target interactive video script file and display time of an interactive page, text content in a target interactive pattern in the target interactive video script file is extracted, and the interactive page is generated according to the text content and target differentiated pattern data. At least two options exist in the interactive page, such as left-going, right-going and the like, a user can make a selection in the at least two options, input an instruction, determine a target video clip selected by the input instruction according to logic information in the target interactive video script file, and play the target video clip, so that the purposes of influencing the development of the scenario by the user, determining the trend of the scenario and improving the participation of the user are achieved.

For example, the plurality of video clips corresponding to the target interactive video include clip a, clip B, clip C, clip D, and clip E, and the target interactive video script is described as follows:

when the segment A is played, a first interactive interface is generated by taking the ending time point of the segment A as a switching time, a target interactive style corresponding to the first interactive interface is an interactive style 1, and title text content corresponding to the interactive style 1 is displayed: "which room XX should enter", two buttons are button 1 and button 2, the button text corresponding to button 1 is "room a", and the button text corresponding to button 2 is "room B". If the user presses the button 1, further playing the segment B after playing the segment A; if the user selects the button 2, further playing the segment C after playing the segment A; generating a second interactive interface by taking the ending time point of the segment C as a switching time, wherein a target interactive style corresponding to the second interactive page is an interactive style 3, and the title text content corresponding to the interactive style 3 is displayed: "which color XX should be selected", two buttons are button 3 and button 4, the button text corresponding to button 3 is "red", and the button text corresponding to button 4 is "blue".

The target differential pattern data includes: the interactive style 1+ios and the interactive style 3+ios, namely, an animation file used by the interactive style 1, a dynamic file (H5, lua, etc.) used by the realization style, a style background picture, etc.; animation files used for the interactive style 3, dynamic files (H5, lua, etc.) for realizing the style use, style background pictures, etc. Of course, at this time, the target differential data corresponding to the interaction pattern 1 and the interaction pattern 3 may be the same, that is, the same animation file, the same dynamic file and the same background picture are used, and the target differential pattern data may include one data: interactive style 1+ interactive style 3+ ios.

When playing the interactive video according to the target interactive video script file, firstly playing the fragment A, and when the playing of the fragment A is finished, extracting which room the title text content XX of the interactive style 1 in the target interactive video script file should enter, the button text content corresponding to the button 1 is the room A, the button text content corresponding to the button 2 is the room B, determining the used animation file, the dynamic files (H5, lua and the like) for realizing the style use, the style background picture and the like according to the interactive style 1+ios, and generating a first interactive page.

If the user selects button 1 on the first interactive page, segment B is further played.

If the user selects the button 2 on the first interactive page, further playing the segment C, and when the playing of the segment C is finished, extracting which color should be selected by the title text content "XX" of the interactive style 2 in the target interactive video script file, the button text content corresponding to the button 3 being red, the button text content corresponding to the button 4 being blue, determining the animation file to be used, the dynamic file (H5, lua, etc.) for realizing the style use, the style background picture, etc., and generating the second interactive page according to the interactive style 3+ios.

If the user selects button 3 in the second interaction page, the clip D is further played.

If the user selects button 4 in the second interaction page, segment E is further played.

The text content is extracted through the target interactive video script file, and the playing environment of the terminal is responded through the target differentiated style data, so that the terminal can play the interactive video. When playing the interactive video, different terminals obtain different target interactive video files, wherein the different target interactive video files comprise the same interactive video script file and different differentiated style data of each playing platform, so that the different playing platforms play the interactive video according to the different target interactive video files.

The method for playing the interactive video provided by the exemplary embodiment of the invention at least comprises the following steps:

the terminal responds to a playing instruction of the target interactive video and sends a data acquisition request to the server; the data acquisition request carries a target video identifier corresponding to the target interactive video;

the server receives the data acquisition request, and determines a target storage address based on a target video identifier carried by the data acquisition request, wherein the target storage address stores a plurality of interactive video files; the method comprises the steps that the plurality of interactive video files are the server, based on a plurality of video fragments used for assembly interactive video, an interactive video script file is determined, the interactive video script file is used for describing logic information among the plurality of video fragments, display time of an interactive page and a target interactive pattern, and the target interactive pattern is used for determining page presentation of the interactive page; acquiring at least one support playing platform for playing the interactive video file, and acquiring target differential pattern data corresponding to each support playing platform respectively based on the at least one support playing platform and the target interactive pattern, wherein the target differential pattern data is data with differences among different playing platforms in the target interactive pattern; respectively encapsulating the target differentiated style data corresponding to each supporting playing platform with the interactive video script file to obtain the target differentiated style data;

The terminal acquires a target interactive video file based on the target storage address; specifically, the terminal determines a target file name based on the target video identifier and the terminal platform identifier; adding the target file name after the target storage address to obtain a target file downloading address; acquiring a target interactive video file based on the target file downloading address;

the terminal analyzes the target interactive video file to obtain a target interactive video script file and target differentiated style data; the target differentiated style data are data which are adaptive to the terminal playing platform in the target interaction style corresponding to the interaction page, but have differences among different playing platforms;

when the terminal plays the target interactive video based on the target interactive video script file, extracting the text content of the target interactive pattern in the target interactive video script file aiming at each switching among a plurality of video fragments corresponding to the target interactive video; generating an interaction page based on the text content and the target differentiated style data; and responding to the input instruction of the interactive page, determining a target video clip selected by the input instruction based on logic information in the target interactive video script file, and playing the target video clip.

In the above embodiment, the server effectively extracts the differentiated style data in the interaction styles of different playing platforms, so that when the interactive video file is created, the server can cope with different playing environments of different playing platforms by selecting the mode of selecting the target differentiated style data, thereby creating all the interactive video files supporting the playing platforms at one time. When a subsequent terminal needs to play the target interactive video, determining a target interactive video script file corresponding to the playing environment of the terminal, and playing the target interactive video in the terminal according to the target interactive video script file.
