MOBILE TERMINAL AND VIDEO PLAYING METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

The present invention provides a mobile terminal and a video playing method therefor. The method comprises: the mobile terminal establishing a remote video connection to a computing entity; via a distributed program interface of a video decoder provided by the computing entity, the terminal remotely calling the video decoder to perform video data decoding of video data-to-be-decoded, and receiving a stream of framed data returned by the computing entity. In the present invention, the video service connection is established between the mobile terminal and the computing entity having an established wireless connection, the video decoder of the computing entity implemented on the basis of a distribution is shared with the mobile terminal as a component; the video decoding capability of hardware such as a CPU of the computing entity is practically acquired by calling remotely the video decoder of the computing entity to work; and the video is played via a video player of the mobile terminal. This allows for improved video playing performance of the mobile terminal, and reduced power consumption, without incurring additional user expense, or requiring installation of any additional client terminal software, thereby increasing ease of use.
