Abstract

A method for generating a multimedia file is presented, where the method includes selecting a multimedia clip according to at least one received input instruction in a process of multimedia recording; and parsing the selected multimedia clip to obtain corresponding text information, generating a multimedia file according to the at least one received input instruction, and generating a file name of the multimedia file according to the text information. Using the foregoing technical solution, a multimedia file is generated using text information that is obtained by parsing a multimedia clip, so that a file name of the multimedia file can accurately reflect key information of the multimedia file, and efficiency of searching for a target multimedia file is improved.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for generating a multimedia file, the method comprising:
selecting a multimedia clip according to at least one received input instruction in a process of multimedia recording; parsing the selected multimedia clip to obtain corresponding text information; generating a multimedia file according to the at least one received input instruction; and generating a file name of the multimedia file according to the text information.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the received input instruction comprises at least one of long pressing a screen, pressing a key, rotating a terminal, holding a terminal tightly, sliding on a screen, and shaking a terminal.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein selecting the multimedia clip according to the at least one received input instruction comprises:
receiving an input instruction, and determining a start time and an end time in the input instruction; and selecting the multimedia clip according to the start time and the end time in the input instruction, wherein generating the multimedia file according to the at least one received input instruction comprises generating the multimedia file according to a multimedia clip that is between the start time in the input instruction and an end time at which the multimedia recording ends.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein selecting the multimedia clip according to the at least one received input instruction comprises:
receiving a first input instruction, and determining a start time and an end time in the first input instruction; and selecting the multimedia clip according to the start time and the end time in the first input instruction, wherein generating a multimedia file according to the at least one received input instruction comprises: receiving a second input instruction, and determining a start time in the second input instruction; and generating the multimedia file according to a multimedia clip that is between the start time in the first input instruction and the start time in the second input instruction.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein generating the file name of the multimedia file according to the text information comprises:
using the text information as a multimedia file name or as partial information of a multimedia file name; naming the multimedia file in a stipulated naming format; and saving the multimedia file.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
presetting a target language of the text information; and identifying, before the parsing the selected multimedia clip to obtain corresponding text information, the selected multimedia clip using a local device or a network-side server to obtain corresponding text information in the preset target language.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising setting an information tag for the selected multimedia clip, wherein the information tag comprises a start time and an end time of the selected multimedia clip, and wherein the text information corresponding to the selected multimedia clip.

8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein setting the information tag for the selected multimedia clip comprises setting the information tag at the end time of the selected multimedia clip.

9 . An apparatus for generating a multimedia file, comprising:
a receiving unit; a multimedia clip generating unit; a parsing unit; and a multimedia file generating unit, wherein the receiving unit is configured to receive at least one input instruction in a process of multimedia recording, wherein the multimedia clip generating unit is configured to select a multimedia clip according to the at least one received input instruction, wherein the parsing unit is configured to parse the selected multimedia clip to obtain corresponding text information, and wherein the multimedia file generating unit is configured to generate a multimedia file according to the at least one received input instruction, and generate a file name of the multimedia file according to the text information.

10 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , further comprising a determining unit configured to determine a start time and an end time in the input instruction, wherein the multimedia clip generating unit is configured to select the multimedia clip according to the start time and the end time in the input instruction, and wherein the multimedia file generating unit is configured to generate the multimedia file according to a multimedia clip that is between the start time in the input instruction and an end time at which the multimedia recording ends.

11 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , further comprising a determining unit, wherein the receiving unit is configured to receive a first input instruction and a second input instruction, wherein the determining unit is configured to determine a start time and an end time in the first input instruction, wherein the multimedia clip generating unit is configured to select the multimedia clip according to the start time and the end time in the first input instruction, wherein the determining unit is further configured to determine a start time in the second input instruction, and wherein the multimedia file generating unit is configured to generate the multimedia file according to a multimedia clip that is between the start time in the first input instruction and the start time in the second input instruction.

12 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , further comprising a processing unit configured to use the text information as a multimedia file name or as partial information of a multimedia file name, name the multimedia file in a stipulated naming format, and save the multimedia file.

13 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to preset a target language of the text information before the selected multimedia clip is parsed to obtain the corresponding text information.

14 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to set an information tag for the selected multimedia clip, wherein the information tag comprises a start time and an end time of the selected multimedia clip, and wherein the text information corresponding to the selected multimedia clip.
