Abstract: A video switching method includes a target object being selected. A similarity of the target object between a first image frame and a second image frame is calculated to obtain a similarity value, where the first image frame is from a first video, and the second image frame is from a second video; to-be-switched image frames are obtained, where the to-be-switched image frames include the first image frame and the second image frame with the similarity value greater than or equal to a preset threshold; and the first image frame of the first video is switched to the second image frame of the second video or the second image frame of the second video is switched to the first image frame of the first video based on the to-be-switched image frames.

Abstract: A method for playing audio files includes: parsing data frames of an audio file until basic information about file playing that meets the conditions for playing the audio file is obtained; and playing the audio file according to the basic information about file playing. A location and search method for an audio file includes: determining a frame position corresponding to a playing position in search according to a stored mapping between playing positions and frame positions when receiving input information about the playing position in search; and starting playing an audio file from the determined frame position. An apparatus for playing audio files is also disclosed. With the invention, the playing response speed of an audio file is improved to a great extent.
