[0031] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings.

[0032] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-described drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily have to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The implementation described in the following example embodiments does not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0033] It should be noted here that "at least one of a plurality of items" appearing in the present disclosure represents three types of alternatives, including "any one of the plurality of items", "a combination of any multiple of the plurality of items", and "all of the plurality of items". For example, "including at least one of A and B" includes the following three alternatives: (1) including A; (2) including B; (3) including A and B. For another example, "performing at least one of step one and step two" represents the following three alternatives: (1) performing step one; (2) performing step two; (3) performing step one and step two.

[0034] Figure 1 A flowchart showing a method of displaying a loading animation according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0035] Referring to Figure 1 In step S101, when at least one loading request is initiated, a loading animation is displayed and the display duration of the loading animation is started to be counted when the current loading animation is not displayed.

[0036] As an example, a loading animation is used to prompt that a user is in the process of loading.

[0037] It should be understood that the at least one loading request can be various types of loading requests, and the present disclosure does not limit this. For example, the at least one loading request can include a request for calling an interface to load an object.

[0038] It should be understood that the at least one loading request is a request that requires a loading animation to be displayed when loading for it. Whether a loading animation needs to be displayed when loading for a loading request can be determined by an engineer according to actual conditions and needs.

[0039] It should be understood that when multiple loading requests are initiated at the same time, the multiple loading requests can share one loading animation, and there is no need to display a loading animation corresponding to each loading request separately.

[0040] In step S102, when the display duration timer has reached the preset maximum display duration and the loading for the at least one loading request is not completed, the display of the loading animation is stopped, and the counting of the display duration is ended.

[0041] Here, the loading for the at least one loading request not being completed can be understood as: if the loading for each of the at least one loading request is not completed, it is considered that the loading for the at least one loading request is not completed.

[0042] As an example, the loading for the loading request not being completed can be understood as: all of the objects requested by the loading request are not returned.

[0043] It should be understood that the preset maximum display duration can be set according to actual conditions and needs, and the present disclosure does not limit this. For example, the preset maximum display duration can be set to 3000 ms.

[0044] It should be understood that when the loading for the at least one loading request is not completed but the display duration timer has reached the preset maximum display duration, only the display of the loading animation is stopped, and the background is still loading for the objects whose loading is not completed.

[0045] As an example, the counting of the display duration of the loading animation can start from 0 or count down from the preset maximum display duration, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0046] It should be understood that the ending of the counting of the display duration can be understood as: the counting of the display duration is cleared, and the counting is restarted when the next counting starts.

[0047] According to this exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case that the longest loading effect display duration is controlled, the user will not be more troubled by the long-time display of the loading effect and the inability to operate, the case that the loading effect is displayed all the time when the interface timeout occurs is solved, and the user experience is improved.

[0048] In addition, as an example, the method for displaying a loading effect according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure can further include: when the loading for the at least one loading request has been completed, if no loading is being performed for any other loading request and the display duration timer has not reached the preset longest display duration, ending the display duration timer, and continuing to display the loading effect for a preset minimum display duration.

[0049] It should be understood that the loading for the at least one loading request has been completed, that is, the loading for each of the at least one loading request has been completed. No loading is being performed for any other loading request, that is, the loading request for which the loading effect needs to be displayed has been completed at present.

[0050] It should be understood that the preset minimum display duration can be set according to actual conditions and needs, and the present disclosure does not limit this. For example, the preset minimum display duration can be set to 300 ms.

[0051] According to this exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, even if the time period from the initiation of the loading request to the end of the loading request is very short, a minimum display duration is reserved for the loading effect of the loading request to avoid the flashing effect of the loading effect, and the extension of the display duration of the loading effect facilitates the sharing of a loading effect by multiple loading requests and facilitates more intelligent control.

[0052] In addition, as an example, the method for displaying a loading effect according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure can further include: in the case that the loading effect is currently being displayed, when at least one loading request is initiated, sharing the loading effect being displayed without displaying another loading effect corresponding to the at least one loading request.

[0053] Below, exemplary embodiments of the method for sharing the loading effect being displayed when at least one loading request is initiated will be described in conjunction with Figure 2 and Figure 3 .

[0054] Figure 2 A flowchart of the method for displaying a loading effect according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0055] As Figure 2As shown, in step S201, when at least one loading request is initiated, the loading animation being displayed is shared, and the display duration of the loading animation is restarted timing, in the case that the loading animation is currently being displayed and no loading is being performed for any loading request.

[0056] As an example, the restarting of the display duration of the loading animation can be understood as starting from the beginning, for example, starting from 0, or counting down from a preset maximum display duration.

[0057] It should be understood that the any loading request is any loading request that requires the display of the loading animation.

[0058] In step S202, when the loading for all loading requests has been completed and the display duration timing has not reached the preset maximum display duration, the display duration timing is ended, and the loading animation is displayed for a preset minimum display duration.

[0059] In step S203, when the display duration timing has reached the preset maximum display duration and the loading for any one loading request has not been completed, the display of the loading animation is stopped, and the display duration timing is ended.

[0060] The loading for any one loading request not being completed can be understood as: the loading for all loading requests (including the at least one loading request involved in step S201) has not been completed, and there is still some loading request or some loading requests being loaded.

[0061] According to this exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the user will not be more troubled by being unable to operate for a long time due to the display of the loading animation, and a minimum display duration will also be reserved for the loading animation of the loading request, so as to avoid the flashing effect of the loading animation, solve the problem that the loading animation always exists when the interface timeout condition is encountered, or the flashing effect of the loading animation appears because the interface returns quickly, and improve the user experience.

[0062] Figure 3 A flowchart of a method for displaying a loading animation according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0063] Referring to Figure 3 In step S301, when at least one loading request is initiated, the loading animation being displayed is shared, and the display duration is continued to be timed, in the case that the loading animation is currently being displayed and the loading is being performed for any one loading request.

[0064] The display duration being continued to be timed can be understood as: continuing the previous timing result and counting down all the time.

[0065] At step S302, when the loading for all loading requests has been completed and the display duration timer has not reached the preset maximum display duration, the display duration timer is ended and the loading animation is continued to be displayed for the preset minimum display duration.

[0066] At step S303, when the display duration timer has reached the preset maximum display duration and the loading for any one loading request has not been completed, the loading animation is stopped from being displayed and the display duration timer is ended.

[0067] According to this exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the user will not be more bothered by the inability to operate due to the long-time display of the loading animation, and a minimum display duration is also reserved for the loading animation of the loading request to avoid the flashing of the loading animation, thereby solving the problem of the existence of the loading animation when the interface timeout occurs or the flashing of the loading animation due to the quick return of the interface, and improving the user experience.

[0068] As an example, the method for displaying the loading animation according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure can be implemented by calling a preset loading animation start function when each loading request is initiated and calling a preset loading animation end function when the loading for the loading request has been completed.

[0069] As an example, the loading animation start function can be used to start a timer, record the number of loading requests, and trigger the display of the loading animation when the loading request is initiated for the first time.

[0070] As an example, the loading animation end function can be used to update the number of loading requests and execute an end timer when the updated number of loading requests is a preset number.

[0071] When the start timer timer reaches the preset maximum display duration or the end timer timer reaches the preset minimum display duration, a reset function is called. As an example, the reset function can be used to reset the number of loading requests to the preset number and trigger the stop of the display of the loading animation.

[0072] In one embodiment, the loading animation start function can be called to perform the following processing: when the number of loading requests is 0, a start timer is started; after the start timer is started, the number of loading requests is increased by 1; the state of the loading animation is set to trigger the display of the loading animation; and the end timer is cleared.

[0073] Here, the initial value of the number of loading requests is 0.

[0074] Here, when the start timer timer reaches the preset maximum display duration, the number of loading requests is set to 0 and the state of the loading animation is set to trigger the stop of the display of the loading animation.

[0075] In another embodiment, the loading effect end function can perform the following process when called: decrement the number of loading requests by 1; after decrementing the number of loading requests by 1, when the number of loading requests is 0, clear the start timer and start the end timer.

[0076] Here, when the end timer reaches the preset minimum display duration, the number of loading requests is set to 0, and the state of the loading effect is set to trigger the stop displaying the loading effect.

[0077] As an example, 6 variables can be set, respectively:

[0078] count: the number of loading requests;

[0079] loading: the state of the loading effect, true triggers the display of the loading effect, and false triggers the stop displaying the loading effect;

[0080] maxLoadingTime: the preset maximum display duration;

[0081] minLoadingTime: the preset minimum display duration;

[0082] startTimer: the start timer;

[0083] endTimer: the end timer.

[0084] In one embodiment, the pseudo code of the loading effect start function can be as follows:

[0085]

[0086] As an example, the pseudo code of the reset function can be as follows:

[0087]

[0088] In another embodiment, the pseudo code of the loading effect end function can be as follows:

[0089]

[0090]

[0091] According to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, a more intelligent global loading effect display solution is provided. An engineer only needs to add a loading effect start function before each request requiring a loading effect, and call a loading effect end function when the request ends. No other logic needs to be considered, which facilitates engineers to use loading effects more efficiently to optimize pages after encapsulating methods.

[0092] Figure 4 A structural block diagram of a device for displaying a loading effect according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0093] As Figure 4 shown, a device 10 for displaying a loading effect according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure includes a display unit 101 and a processor 102.

[0094] In particular, the display unit 101 is configured to display a loading effect.

[0095] The processor 102 is configured to perform the following operations:

[0096] When at least one loading request is initiated, the display unit 101 is controlled to display a loading effect and start timing a display duration of the loading effect, in a case where no loading effect is currently displayed.

[0097] When the display duration has reached a preset maximum display duration and loading for the at least one loading request is not completed, the display unit 101 is controlled to stop displaying the loading effect and end the timing of the display duration.

[0098] As an example, the processor 102 can be further configured to perform the following operations:

[0099] When loading for the at least one loading request is completed, if no loading is being performed for any other loading request and the display duration has not reached the preset maximum display duration, the timing of the display duration is ended and the display unit 101 is controlled to continue displaying the loading effect for a preset minimum display duration.

[0100] As an example, the processor 102 can be further configured to perform the following operation: when at least one loading request is initiated, the currently displayed loading effect is shared, in a case where a loading effect is currently displayed.

[0101] As an example, the processor 102 can be configured to perform the following operations:

[0102] In a case where the loading animation is being displayed and no loading is being performed for any loading request, when at least one loading request is initiated, the loading animation being displayed is shared, and the display duration of the loading animation is restarted to be counted;

[0103] When the loading is completed for all loading requests and the display duration has not reached the preset maximum display duration, the counting of the display duration is ended, and the display unit 101 is controlled to continue displaying the loading animation for a preset minimum display duration;

[0104] When the display duration has reached the preset maximum display duration and the loading is not completed for any loading request, the display unit 101 is controlled to stop displaying the loading animation, and the counting of the display duration is ended.

[0105] As an example, the processor 102 can be configured to perform the following operations:

[0106] In a case where the loading animation is being displayed and loading is being performed for any loading request, when at least one loading request is initiated, the loading animation being displayed is shared, and the counting of the display duration is continued;

[0107] When the loading is completed for all loading requests and the display duration has not reached the preset maximum display duration, the counting of the display duration is ended, and the display unit 101 is controlled to continue displaying the loading animation for a preset minimum display duration;

[0108] When the display duration has reached the preset maximum display duration and the loading is not completed for any loading request, the display unit 101 is controlled to stop displaying the loading animation, and the counting of the display duration is ended.

[0109] As an example, the at least one loading request can include a request to call an interface to load an object.

[0110] As an example, the processor 102 can perform the operations by calling a preset loading animation start function when each loading request is initiated, and calling a preset loading animation end function when the loading is completed for the loading request.

[0111] As an example, the loading animation start function can be used to start a timer, record the number of loading requests, and trigger the display of the loading animation when the loading request is initiated for the first time; and the loading animation end function can be used to update the number of loading requests, and end the timer when the updated number of loading requests is a preset number.

[0112] When the start timer reaches the preset maximum display duration or the end timer reaches the preset minimum display duration, a reset function is called. As an example, the reset function can be used to reset the number of loading requests to the preset number and trigger the stop displaying the loading animation.

[0113] As to the processor 102 in the above embodiments, the specific manner of performing operations has been described in detail in the embodiments of the method, and will not be described in detail here.
