When detecting an operation that the user taps the playback resume icon 435 in FIG. 5B, the mobile phone 407 optionally displays the user interface 449 of the video playback application Huawei Video 325 shown in FIG. 4H. It may be understood that, playback information displayed in the user interface 449 may be playback information with high real-time performance, and is basically consistent with playback information within a period of time when the user leaves home/the smart television 111 is turned off (because the playback information is synchronized within a period of time before the user leaves home), or may be earlier playback information (the playback information is not synchronized within a period of time before the user leaves home).
In some possible implementation solutions, the mobile phone 407 may fail to resume playback, for example, a video source is lost, a video parsing error occurs, or the mobile phone 407 does not have permission to open a video playback application. To indicate, to the user on the mobile phone 407, that playback resuming fails, display of the playback control card 409 optionally stops; a prompt box 501 shown in FIG. 5D is optionally generated, where an example of content is “Prompt: A video parsing error occurs. Playback resuming fails!”; or another implementation solution optionally exists. Details are not described herein.
