Abstract

A video-based check-in method, terminal, and server are provided. The method includes: obtaining a check-in instruction; collecting multimedia data corresponding to a currently played video; determining time information corresponding to the multimedia data; sending the multimedia data and the time information to a server; receiving a check-in manner sent after the server determines according to the multimedia data and the time information that a user is watching the video; and displaying the check-in manner, and completing check-in on the video according to the check-in manner.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A video-based check-in method, performed by a terminal, comprising:
obtaining a check-in instruction to begin a check-in session by detecting a shaking action of the terminal while displaying a currently played video in the terminal;
collecting, by the terminal, at least two video image segments corresponding to the currently played video in the terminal during the check-in session according to the check-in instruction;
determining time information for each of the at least two video image segments wherein the time information for each of the at least two video image segments comprises start time and end time of each of the at least two video image segments;
sending the at least two video image segments and the time information corresponding to the at least two video image segments to a server for verification;
receiving a webpage including at least one of a check-in option corresponding to the video or a check code corresponding to the video sent after the server determines that the at least two video image segments received from the terminal is consistent with multimedia data of the video identified by the start time and the end time of each of the at least two video image segments as received by the server together with the at least two video image segments; and
opening the webpage to select the check-in option in the webpage or sending the check code to the server, to complete check-in on the video and to close the check-in session.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining user information corresponding to a user, and submitting the user information to the server, so that the server updates statistical data related to the video according to the user information.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein after the submitting the user information to the server, the method further comprises:
receiving friend information returned by the server according to the user information, the friend information comprising check-in information corresponding to a friend, in a friend relationship chain of the user, who has performed check-in on the video; and
displaying the friend information.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after completing check-in on the video, the method further comprises:
receiving comment information of the video returned by the server, the comment information being comment information published by a user who has performed check-in on the video.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after completing check-in on the video, the method further comprises:
obtaining comment information published by a user on the video; and
submitting the comment information to the server, so that the server delivers the comment information to a terminal corresponding to a friend, in a friend relationship chain of the user, who has performed check-in on the video.

6. A video-based check-in method, performed by a server, comprising:
receiving at least two video image segments sent by a terminal during a check-in session and time information for each of the at least two video image segments, the at least two video image segments being multimedia data corresponding to a currently played video in the terminal and collected by the terminal according to a check-in instruction detected as a shaking action of the terminal while displaying the currently played video, and the time information for each of the at least two video image segments comprising start time and end time of each of the at least two video image segments;
determining whether the at least two video image segments received from the terminal is consistent with the multimedia data of the video identified by the start time and the end time of each of the at least two video image segments; and
sending, when it is determined that the at least two video image segments received from the terminal is consistent with the multimedia data of the video identified by the start time and the end time of each of the at least two video image segments as received by the server together with the at least two video image segments, a webpage including at least one of a check-in option corresponding to the video or a check code corresponding to the video to the terminal so that the terminal opens the webpage to select the check-in option in the webpage or send a check code to the server to complete check-in on the video and to close the check-in session.

7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:
receiving user information submitted by the terminal, and updating statistical data related to the video according to the user information;
obtaining a friend relationship chain of a user corresponding to the terminal according to the user information;
determining friend information corresponding to a friend in the friend relationship chain who has performed check-in on the video, the friend information comprising check-in information corresponding to the friend, in the friend relationship chain of the user corresponding to the terminal, who has performed check-in on the video; and
sending the friend information to the terminal.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein after the sending the webpage including the check-in option corresponding to the video or the check code corresponding to the video to the terminal, the method further comprises:
returning comment information of the video to the terminal, the comment information being comment information published by a user who has performed check-in on the video.

9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein after the sending the webpage including the check-in option corresponding to the video or the check code corresponding to the video to the terminal, the method further comprises:
receiving comment information on the video obtained by the terminal after check-in is performed on the video; and
delivering the comment information to a terminal corresponding to a friend, in a friend relationship chain of a user corresponding to the terminal, who has performed check-in on the video.

10. A video-based check-in terminal, comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of computer readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
obtain a check-in instruction to begin a check-in session by detecting a shaking action of the terminal while displaying a currently played video in the terminal;
collect, by the terminal, at least two video image segments corresponding to the currently played video in the terminal during the check-in session according to the check-in instruction;
determine time information for each of the at least two video image segments wherein the time information for each of the at least two video image segments comprises start time and end time of each of the at least two video image segments;
send the at least two video image segments and the time information corresponding to the at least two video image segments to a server for verification;
receive a webpage including at least one of a check-in option corresponding to the video or a check code corresponding to the video sent after the server determines that the at least two video image segments received from the terminal is consistent with multimedia data of the video identified by the start time and the end time of each of the at least two video image segments as received by the server together with the at least two video image segments; and
opening the webpage to select the check-in option in the webpage or sending the check code to the server, to complete check-in on the video and to close the check-in session.
