The method for playback control includes: obtaining a playback duration of a first playback content in a playback scene; and in response the playback duration satisfying a target condition, sending first indication information to a first server, wherein the first indication information indicates to change a virtual resource in account information of a user, and the target condition resource corresponds to the playback scene of the first playback content. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for playback control, the method comprising: obtaining a playback duration of a first playback content in a playback scene; and in response the playback duration satisfying a target condition, sending first indication information to a first server, wherein the first indication information indicates to change a virtual resource in account information of a user, and the target condition corresponds to the playback scene of the first playback content. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the target condition comprises a target playback duration of the first playback content. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein a timer is displayed on a playback page corresponding to the playback scene, the timer is configured to count a playback time of the first playback content, and a maximum counting duration of the timer is the target playback duration. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the timing mode of the timer comprises accumulative timing and reset timing, and the timing mode of the timer corresponds to the playback scene of the first playback content. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the timer for the accumulating timing suspends counting upon a switch from the first playback content to a second playback content, and upon a switch from the second playback content back to the first playback content, the timer resumes counting from a time when the counting is suspended. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the timer for the resetting timing resets upon a switch from the first playback content to a second playback content, and upon a switch from the second playback content back to the first playback content, the timer restarts from zero. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein second indication information is further displayed on a playback page corresponding to the playback scene, and the second indication information is used to indicates a change parameter of the virtual resource. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises before obtaining the playback duration of the first playback content in the playback scene, sending a first request to the first server, the first request being configured to request to obtain the first playback content played in the playback scene; wherein the first request includes an identifier of the playback scene and an identifier of the user. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the method further comprises after sending the first request to the first server, receiving first feedback sent by the first server, the first feedback including the first playback content to be played, the target condition and a change parameter of the virtual resource; and playing the first playback content in the playback scene, based on the first feedback. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first playback content comprises a video and/or a text. ### Claim 11 A method for playback control, the method comprising: receiving a first request sent by a client, wherein the first request is configured to request to obtain a first playback content played in a playback scene and the first request includes an identifier of the playback scene; determining, based on the identifier of the playback scene, a target condition in account information of a user corresponding to the first playback content to be played; and sending first feedback to the client, wherein the first feedback includes the first playback content and the target condition. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the first request further includes an identifier of the user, and the method further comprises after receiving an obtaining request sent by the client, sending a second request to a second server, the second request being configured to request to match the first play content corresponding to the user and the second request including an identifier of the user; and receiving second feedback sent by the second server, the second feedback including the first playback content and resource value information of the first playback content, and the resource value information of the first playback content being configured to determine a change parameter of the virtual resource. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the first feedback further includes the change parameter of the virtual resource; the method further comprises after receiving the second feedback sent by the second server, sending the resource value information of the first playback content to a third server; and receiving the change parameter of the virtual resource sent by the third server. ### Claim 14 (canceled) ### Claim 15 (canceled) ### Claim 16 (canceled) ### Claim 17 (canceled) ### Claim 18 (canceled) ### Claim 19 (canceled) ### Claim 20 (canceled) ### Claim 21 (canceled) ### Claim 22 A terminal device, comprising: a processor; and a memory configured to store a computer program; wherein the processor is configured to, by executing the computer program perform operations comprising: obtaining a playback duration of a first playback content in a playback scene; and in response the playback duration satisfying a target condition, sending first indication information to a first server, wherein the first indication information indicates to change a virtual resource in account information of a user, and the target condition corresponds to the playback scene of the first playback content. ### Claim 23 (canceled) ### Claim 24 (canceled) ### Claim 25 (canceled) ### Claim 26 (canceled) ### Claim 27 (canceled) ### Claim 28 (canceled) ### Claim 29 (depends on 22) The terminal device of claim 22, wherein the target condition comprises a target playback duration of the first playback content. ### Claim 30 (depends on 29) The terminal device of claim 29, wherein a timer is displayed on a playback page corresponding to the playback scene, the timer is configured to count a playback time of the first playback content, and a maximum counting duration of the timer is the target playback duration. ### Claim 31 (depends on 30) The terminal device of claim 30, wherein the timing mode of the timer comprises accumulative timing and reset timing, and the timing mode of the timer corresponds to the playback scene of the first playback content. ### Claim 32 (depends on 31) The terminal device of claim 31, wherein the timer for the accumulating timing suspends counting upon a switch from the first playback content to a second playback content, and upon a switch from the second playback content back to the first playback content, the timer resumes counting from a time when the counting is suspended. ### Claim 33 (depends on 31) The terminal device of claim 31, wherein the timer for the resetting timing resets upon a switch from the first playback content to a second playback content, and upon a switch from the second playback content back to the first playback content, the timer restarts from zero. ### Claim 34 (depends on 22) The terminal device of claim 22, wherein second indication information is further displayed on a playback page corresponding to the playback scene, and the second indication information indicates a change parameter of the virtual resource.
