  • Publication number: 20160323631
    Abstract: A method for presenting digital media content includes: determining abnormally presented content in the digital media content, where the abnormally presented content includes at least one of content presented at an abnormal speed and presented content that is not watched/read and/or listened to, and presenting, according to a first visual style, a part that is corresponding to the abnormally presented content and on a playback progress interface. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a part that is corresponding to abnormally presented digital media content and on a playback progress interface is presented according to a predetermined visual style. In this way, the abnormally presented part can be identified and played again according to the predetermined visual style. Therefore, normally presented digital media content can be distinguished from abnormally presented digital media content.
