Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, a device, and a computer program product for acquiring visual content. A method for acquiring visual content is provided, which includes: if a request for viewing visual content is received from a terminal device, determining, at a content providing device, target visual content corresponding to the request; based on storage information related to at least one copy of the target visual content, determining a to-be-provided copy from the at least one copy, a distance between a storage location of the to-be-provided copy and a location of the terminal device being smaller than a threshold distance; and transmitting the to-be-provided copy to the terminal device. Through embodiments of the present disclosure, it is possible to reduce the delay in acquiring visual content, increase the flexibility in acquiring visual content, and reduce the processing load of the terminal device.
