Abstract
A method for performing fluent playback control is provided, where the method is applied to an electronic device. The method includes the steps of: determining whether an out of synchronization status regarding audio playback and video playback occurs; and when it is detected that the out of synchronization status occurs, controlling jump timing of video playback according to at least one of scene change detection and standstill detection. For example, the scene change detection can be performed to determine whether a scene change exists, and when it is detected that the scene change exists, a jump operation of video playback is triggered. In another example, the standstill detection can be performed to determine whether a standstill phenomenon exists, in order to determine whether to delay triggering a jump operation of video playback. In another example, a temporary audio pause operation can be selectively performed. An associated apparatus is also provided.
