Method and mobile terminal for dynamic display expressions

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and a mobile terminal for dynamic display of an emotion. The method for dynamic display of an emoticon includes: obtaining, by a mobile terminal, a trigger event, where the trigger event is used to trigger dynamic display of an emoticon; and searching, by the mobile terminal and according to the trigger event, an emoticon package of the emoticon, and obtaining an animation instruction of the emoticon, where the emoticon package of the emoticon includes a media material file of the emoticon; and utilizing, by the mobile terminal, an animation capacity of the mobile terminal, and operating, according to the animation instruction of the emoticon, the media material file of the emoticon, so as to implement the dynamic display of the emoticon. By applying the present invention, because the mobile terminal implements, according to the animation instruction, an animation effect by invoking the animation capacity of the mobile terminal itself, the mobile terminal may utilize the animation capacity of the mobile terminal itself repeatedly to implement reuse of the animation effect of the emotion.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method for dynamically displaying emoticons and a mobile terminal. Background technique [0002] With the development of the mobile Internet and the popularization of mobile terminals, instant messaging (IM: Instant Messaging) tools on mobile terminals have developed rapidly, bringing users more convenient and rich communication methods than SMS and MMS. In the IM tools on mobile terminals, animated emoticons such as "magic emoticons" or "interesting emoticons" are important message forms. An existing animated emoticon is realized by using GIF pictures to achieve animation effects. [0003] The inventor finds that there are at least the following technical problems in the above-mentioned prior art: when a GIF picture realizes a longer animation effect, because the animation effect of the GIF picture is in the GIF file, the GIF file is too large, and because each GIF file...
