[0069] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the technical solutions of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments recorded in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the technical solutions of this application.

[0070] The following describes some of the concepts involved in the embodiments of this application.

[0071] Multimedia content: A human-computer interactive information exchange and dissemination medium that combines two or more media. Media includes text, images, sound, video, etc. In the embodiments of this application, multimedia content can be novels, articles, news, videos, music, pictures, etc., and can also refer to collectibles such as merchandise. Specifically, a multimedia content collection is a folder used to collect this multimedia content.

[0072] Client: Also known as user terminal, this refers to a program that provides local services to a client, corresponding to a server. Except for some applications that run only locally, it is generally installed on a regular client machine and needs to work in conjunction with the server. With the development of the Internet, commonly used client applications include web browsers used for the World Wide Web, email clients for sending and receiving emails, and instant messaging client software. For these types of applications, corresponding servers and service programs on the network are required to provide the corresponding services, such as database services, email services, etc. Therefore, a specific communication connection needs to be established between the client and the server to ensure the normal operation of the application.

[0073] Application user interface (UI): This is the medium for interaction and information exchange between the application system and the user. It converts the internal form of information into a human-readable form, aiming to enable users to operate the application conveniently and efficiently to achieve two-way interaction and complete the tasks they wish to accomplish using the application. In this embodiment, the application UI includes human-computer interaction and a graphical user interface (GUI). Specific UI elements include a browsing guidance interface and a content browsing interface. Different UI elements are used to display different content to the user, enabling different information interactions between the user and the application.

[0074] Browsing Guide Interface: A user-oriented interface used to display target multimedia content. The browsing guide interface can display the browsing status of each multimedia content item in the multimedia content set, and also displays the display effects based on the browsing status of each multimedia content item. In this embodiment, different browsing statuses correspond to different display effects. Furthermore, when displaying each multimedia content item, the multimedia content can also be displayed in separate areas according to its browsing status.

[0075] Browsing guidance information: This information is used to represent the reasons for viewing the recommended multimedia content. In this embodiment, the recommended multimedia content is selected from the multimedia content set based on the browsing probability of each piece of multimedia content. Taking e-books (novels) as an example, the multimedia content set refers to a user's bookshelf. The books in this bookshelf can be divided into several categories: currently being read, not read within a certain period of time, and already read. Assuming the book to be recommended is one of the unread books within a certain period of time, the browsing guidance information will indicate the reasons for recommending the book to the user.

[0076] Content browsing interface: A user-facing interface used to display details of multimedia content. Taking a novel as an example, the content browsing interface is specifically used to display the novel's content to the user. The content currently displayed on the interface is determined by the browsing progress of the multimedia content, showing the portion of the multimedia content corresponding to that progress.

[0077] The embodiments of this application relate to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies, and are designed based on computer vision technology and machine learning (ML) in artificial intelligence.

[0078] Artificial intelligence (AI) is the theory, methods, technology, and application systems that use digital computers or machines controlled by digital computers to simulate, extend, and expand human intelligence, perceive the environment, acquire knowledge, and use that knowledge to achieve optimal results. In other words, AI is a comprehensive technology within computer science that attempts to understand the essence of intelligence and produce a new kind of intelligent machine that can react in a way similar to human intelligence.

[0079] Artificial intelligence (AI) studies the design principles and implementation methods of various intelligent machines, enabling them to perceive, reason, and make decisions. AI technology mainly includes computer vision, natural language processing, and machine learning / deep learning. With the research and advancement of AI technology, it is being researched and applied in multiple fields, such as smart homes, intelligent customer service, virtual assistants, smart speakers, intelligent marketing, autonomous driving, robotics, and smart healthcare. It is believed that with further technological development, AI will be applied in even more fields and play an increasingly important role.

[0080] Machine learning is a multidisciplinary field involving probability theory, statistics, approximation theory, convex analysis, and algorithm complexity theory, among others. It specifically studies how computers can simulate or implement human learning behavior to acquire new knowledge or skills and reorganize existing knowledge structures to continuously improve their performance. Compared to data mining, which focuses on finding patterns in large datasets, machine learning emphasizes algorithm design, enabling computers to automatically "learn" patterns from data and use these patterns to predict unknown data.

[0081] Machine learning is the core of artificial intelligence and the fundamental way to endow computers with intelligence. Its applications span all areas of artificial intelligence. Machine learning and deep learning typically include techniques such as artificial neural networks, belief networks, reinforcement learning, transfer learning, and inductive learning. In this application's embodiments, when calculating the browsing probability of various multimedia content, a probabilistic prediction model based on machine learning or deep learning is used. Based on this model, features are extracted from each multimedia content to obtain the browsing probability corresponding to each multimedia content.

[0082] The method for training a probability prediction model proposed in this application can be divided into two parts: a training part and an application part. The training part involves the field of machine learning. In the training part, the probability prediction model is trained using machine learning technology. Training samples containing sample multimedia content are used to train the probability prediction model. After the training samples pass through the probability prediction model, the output result of the probability prediction model is obtained. Based on the error between the output result and the labels marked on the training samples, the model parameters are continuously adjusted through optimization algorithms to obtain the trained probability prediction model. The application part is used to use the probability prediction model trained in the training part to extract features from each multimedia content in the multimedia content set, obtain the browsing probability corresponding to each multimedia content, and then select at least one multimedia content to be recommended from the multimedia content set based on the browsing probability corresponding to each multimedia content.

[0083] The design concept of the embodiments of this application is briefly introduced below:

[0084] With the convergence of mobile communication and the internet, smartphones are gaining popularity. Besides their basic calling functions, a wide variety of applications are developing on phones and online. Among these, e-books are increasingly favored by readers. As a modern reading trend, e-reading offers significant advantages: low carbon footprint, convenience, low cost, and large storage capacity. As the number of readers increases, the demand for book resources also rises.

[0085] However, current e-book applications in related technologies only provide a bookshelf module for storing books. After a user enters the e-book's bookshelf, the interface often displays all the pre-added books, showing only the cover, and all in the same way. As users continue to add books, the large number of books piles up and becomes disorganized, making it difficult for users to perceive the differences between them. Furthermore, because books are placed haphazardly, they are easily forgotten, and users rarely reread them. Finally, due to the cumbersome management process, users lack the motivation to organize their bookshelves, and over time, the bookshelf becomes a complex and bloated product module.

[0086] In view of this, this application proposes a content browsing guidance method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. In this application, the various multimedia contents within a multimedia content set can be classified by state to obtain the browsing state corresponding to each multimedia content. Thus, when displaying the various multimedia contents within the multimedia content set to the user on the browsing guidance interface, the browsing state corresponding to each multimedia content is mainly displayed. Furthermore, different browsing states correspond to different display effects. This method enriches the display style of multimedia content, enhances the differences in display between multimedia content, and helps users effectively identify multimedia content in different states, quickly select the multimedia content they need to view, and achieve rapid browsing guidance for multimedia content.

[0087] The preferred embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application. Furthermore, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0088] like Figure 1 The diagram illustrates an application scenario of an embodiment of this application. The application scenario diagram includes two terminal devices 110 and one server 120. The terminal devices 110 and the server 120 can communicate via a communication network. Users can view multimedia content through the terminal devices 110. The terminal devices 110 can have applications related to the multimedia content installed, such as e-book reading applications, browsers, etc. The applications involved in this embodiment can be software, or web pages, mini-programs, etc. The backend server is the backend server corresponding to the software, web pages, mini-programs, etc., and the specific type of client is not limited.

[0089] In one alternative implementation, the communication network is either a wired network or a wireless network. The terminal device 110 and the server 120 can be directly or indirectly connected via wired or wireless communication, and this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0090] For example, the client sends a request to the server 120 through the terminal device 110, and the server 120 returns the browsing status of each multimedia content to the client through the terminal device 110; another example is that the server 120 returns the browsing probability corresponding to each multimedia content to the client through the terminal device 110, and so on.

[0091] In this embodiment, the terminal device 110 is an electronic device used by a user. This electronic device can be a personal computer, mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop, e-book reader, smart home device, or other computer device with certain computing capabilities that runs instant messaging software and websites or social networking software and websites. Each terminal device 110 connects to the server 120 via a wireless network. The server 120 can be an independent physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDN), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0092] The probability prediction model can be deployed on server 120 for training. Server 120 can store a large number of training samples for training the probability prediction model. Optionally, after the probability prediction model is trained based on the training method in this embodiment, the trained probability prediction model can be directly deployed on server 120 or terminal device 110. Generally, the probability prediction model is directly deployed on server 120. In this embodiment, the probability prediction model is often used to predict the probability of a target user browsing multimedia content.

[0093] The following describes the content browsing guidance method provided by the exemplary embodiments of this application in conjunction with the application scenarios described above and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the above application scenarios are only shown to facilitate understanding of the spirit and principles of this application, and the embodiments of this application are not limited in any way in this respect.

[0094] See Figure 2A The diagram shown is a flowchart of the first content browsing guidance method provided in this application embodiment, applied to the client side. The specific implementation process of this method is as follows:

[0095] S21: In response to the trigger operation of browsing the multimedia content collection, the browsing status of each multimedia content in the multimedia content collection is displayed on the browsing guide interface, and the corresponding display effect is presented according to the browsing status of each multimedia content. Different browsing statuses correspond to different display effects.

[0096] Multimedia content can include novels, articles, news, videos, music, pictures, etc., and can also refer to collectibles such as merchandise. In this embodiment, a novel is used as an example for illustration. The client can be an e-book client, and the server refers to the server corresponding to the e-book client. The multimedia content collection is specifically a bookmarking folder used to collect multimedia content. When the multimedia content is a novel, the multimedia content collection can refer to a bookshelf, used to collect books added by the user. The browsing status refers to the reading status of the novel.

[0097] In one optional implementation, when performing step S21, after the client responds to the trigger operation of browsing the multimedia content set, it also needs to send a request to the server, and then receive the browsing status of each multimedia content corresponding to each multimedia content returned by the server before the browsing guidance interface can display the browsing status of each multimedia content in the multimedia content set.

[0098] The browsing status of each multimedia content is obtained by classifying the status of each multimedia content based on the operation information of the account associated with each multimedia content and at least one of the content elements of each multimedia content.

[0099] In this embodiment of the application, a novel is mainly used as an example. Accordingly, the associated account refers to the account currently logged into the e-book client, and the novel is collected in the bookshelf corresponding to that account.

[0100] In other words, for any single multimedia content, its browsing status can be categorized based on the account's associated activity information, such as browsing time, usage time, location, and source of the received content. Alternatively, the status can be categorized based on the content elements, such as format and content details. Or, the browsing status can be categorized based on the account's associated activity information and the content elements themselves.

[0101] In this embodiment, after receiving a request from the client triggered by a response to view a multimedia content collection, the server obtains the browsing status of each multimedia content in the collection and returns the browsing status of each multimedia content to the client. Upon receiving the browsing status of each multimedia content returned by the server, the client can display the browsing status of each multimedia content in the browsing guide interface and present corresponding display effects based on the browsing status of each multimedia content.

[0102] That is, the bookshelf interface displays the browsing status of each book and presents corresponding display effects based on the browsing status of each book, referring to the cover display effect (also known as display style). For example Figure 3 As shown, the browsing guide interface is... Figure 3 The bookshelf interface shown. Figure 3 The interface displays several novels, forming a multimedia content collection. The novel "So You Are xx" is currently being read; the novels "Shocking xx", "The Rest of My Life xx", and three novels in "My Collection" are currently unread. This browsing status indicates not only whether a novel is being read or not, but also the current reading progress. For example, "So You Are xx" has 120 chapters, 6 chapters have been read, and 3 new chapters have been updated. Similarly, "Shocking xx" has 128 chapters, 66 chapters have been read; and "The Rest of My Life xx" has 128 chapters, 326 chapters have been read, and it is currently unread.

[0103] Furthermore, novels that haven't been read for a longer period can be further categorized, including: unread within 7 days, unread within 8-30 days, and unread for 30+ days. For example... Figure 3 As shown in the image, the novel "Shocking XX" has been unread for 5 days, which falls under the category of unread for 7 days; the novel "So You Are XX" has been unread for 15 days, which falls under the category of unread for 8-30 days; and the novels in my collection have been unread for 30+ days.

[0104] Additionally, it's important to note that the display effects differ for the two browsing states listed above: "Reading" and "Not Reading for a Period of Time." For example, there's one book in the "Reading" state, namely the novel "So You Are xx," which will display: large cover + (reading) progress + update status + last location, for instance... Figure 3 The "6 chapters / 120 chapters, 3 chapters updated" shown indicates that the book has not been read for more than a period of time (5 books). The corresponding display effect is: dynamic cover + number of days unread.

[0105] Optionally, for novels that haven't been read for a long time, the display effects can be further refined according to the above classification, for example:

[0106] Unread for 7 days: Only the cover and title are displayed, and the cover is desaturated and dusty, with reading guidance provided; Unread for 8-30 days: Only the cover and title are displayed, and the cover shows cracks, tears, etc., with reading guidance provided; Unread for 30+ days: Multiple books are piled up in the folder, and the folder shows dust and signs of wear, with reading guidance provided.

[0107] Additionally, it should be noted that the distinction between display effects is not limited to the old and new styles such as desaturation and graying listed above. It can also include styles such as map distribution (e.g., different cities are divided into unlocked or locked), label marking, etc., without specific limitations here.

[0108] S22: In response to a browsing operation triggered for a target multimedia content in a multimedia content set, update the browsing status and corresponding display effects of the target multimedia content on the browsing guide interface.

[0109] It should be noted that the content browsing guidance method in this application is not limited to novels, but can also be applied to the dynamic management of various collections such as videos, pictures, and goods.

[0110] In the above implementation, the various multimedia contents within the multimedia content set can be classified by state to obtain the browsing state corresponding to each multimedia content. Thus, when the browsing guidance interface displays the various multimedia contents within the multimedia content set to the user, it mainly displays the browsing state corresponding to each multimedia content. Furthermore, different browsing states correspond to different display effects, enriching the display style of multimedia content and helping users effectively identify multimedia content in different states and quickly select the multimedia content they need to view.

[0111] For example, in e-book applications, even after users continuously add books, there won't be a large accumulation of books that create a chaotic situation, making it easier for users to perceive the differences between books.

[0112] In one optional implementation, when displaying various multimedia contents on the browsing guide interface, they can also be displayed in separate areas according to the browsing status. Specifically, according to the browsing status of each multimedia content, the browsing status of each multimedia content is displayed in separate areas on the browsing guide interface, and the corresponding display effect is presented according to the browsing status of each multimedia content. Multimedia contents belonging to the same browsing status are located in the same display area.

[0113] For example Figure 3 As shown, the browsing guide interface is divided into three areas: "Reading", "Unread for a period of time", and "My reading memories". The "Reading" area contains 1 novel, the "Unread for a period of time" area contains 5 novels, and the "My reading memories" area contains 3 novels. All 3 novels have been read, so detailed content, cover information, etc. of these 3 novels are not displayed on the browsing guide interface.

[0114] In this embodiment of the application, for novels that have been read: they are stored in reading memories, and clicking on them allows you to view book-related memories, such as the start date of reading, the cumulative number of days of reading, thoughts, comments, etc.

[0115] The above implementation methods enrich the display styles of books, helping users effectively identify books in different states and quickly select the book they are reading to continue reading.

[0116] In this embodiment, after a user clicks to enter the bookshelf, they can select a novel from the bookshelf as the target multimedia content to browse. Then, the browsing guidance interface updates the novel's browsing status and corresponding display effects.

[0117] In an optional embodiment, step S22 may also be implemented based on the following process, see reference. Figure 2B As shown:

[0118] S221: In response to a browsing operation triggered for a target multimedia content in a multimedia content set, display a content browsing interface for the target multimedia content, and display the content in the content browsing interface that corresponds to the browsing progress of the target multimedia content.

[0119] For example, for Figure 3 The novels shown are in an unread state. When a user selects one of these unread novels, such as "The Shocking XX," which has been unread for a long time, dust, cracks, etc., will be wiped clean. Figure 4A As shown. Afterwards, you open the reader and begin reading. A content browsing interface for the novel is displayed, and based on your browsing progress, the content in the novel corresponding to your browsing progress is displayed in the content browsing interface, such as... Figure 4B As shown, in Figure 4B The content browsing interface shown is displaying Chapter 66, "Farewell".

[0120] S222: In response to a browsing end operation triggered for the target multimedia content, if it is determined that the browsing status of the target multimedia content has changed, the browsing status of the target multimedia content is updated on the browsing guidance interface, and the display area and corresponding display effects of the target multimedia content in the browsing guidance interface are adjusted according to the updated browsing status of the target multimedia content.

[0121] For example Figure 4C As shown, when the user finishes reading and returns to the bookshelf, the novel "Shocking xx" is updated to a reading status and placed at the top of the bookshelf. The corresponding display effect also changes. It is no longer desaturated or grayed out, and it displays the same display effect as the novel "So You Are xx". It shows "66 chapters / 128 chapters" and 3 newly updated chapters.

[0122] In one alternative implementation, to rekindle the user's desire to reread, reading guidance prompts can be further added. Specifically, the browsing guidance interface uses a different display effect than the corresponding browsing state to display at least one multimedia content to be recommended, and displays browsing guidance information for the at least one multimedia content to be recommended. The at least one multimedia content to be recommended is multimedia content selected from the multimedia content set based on the browsing probability of each multimedia content. The browsing guidance information is used to represent the reason for viewing the at least one multimedia content to be recommended.

[0123] See Figure 5 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of a browsing guidance interface containing browsing guidance information in an embodiment of this application. The book to be recommended, "The Shocking XX," is the multimedia content to be recommended in this embodiment of the application. The multimedia content to be recommended is displayed in a different way than the display effect corresponding to the previous browsing state, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the book cover moved slightly (like dust being blown away by the wind, or the pages being slightly opened), and browsing guidance information was also displayed. Figure 5 The reading guide shown reads, "Fan fiction based on the popular TV series 'xxx,' open it and take a look~."

[0124] In this embodiment, the multimedia content to be recommended is selected from the multimedia content set based on the browsing probability of each piece of multimedia content. For example, it may be selected from the multimedia content set with the highest (or second highest) browsing probability, or from the multimedia content set whose browsing status is "unread for a period of time" and thus the multimedia content with the highest (or second highest) browsing probability. Of course, multiple multimedia content to be recommended can also be selected, such as selecting the top N multimedia content with the highest browsing probability, where N is a positive integer.

[0125] In one optional implementation, for each piece of multimedia content, the following operations may be performed separately to determine the browsing probability corresponding to each piece of multimedia content:

[0126] For each multimedia content, obtain relevant reference information, including at least one of the following: associated account browsing preferences, usage scenarios, and environmental information; based on the reference information of each multimedia content, analyze and obtain various content tags corresponding to the multimedia content; match each type of content tag with various preset reference tags, and determine the browsing probability corresponding to the multimedia content based on the matching results.

[0127] Among them, the various content tags refer to those derived from the analysis of reference information based on a specific multimedia content, while the various preset reference tags are set by the user or obtained from experience analysis.

[0128] In this embodiment, the client can also combine reference information related to the multimedia content to calculate the browsing probability (also known as the reading probability) of each multimedia content. Then, when the client responds to the trigger operation request to browse the multimedia content set, it can filter at least one multimedia content to be recommended from the multimedia content set based on the browsing probability of each multimedia content. This at least one multimedia content to be recommended is then displayed on the browsing guidance interface using a display effect different from that corresponding to the browsing state, along with browsing guidance information for the at least one multimedia content to be recommended. The browsing guidance information is used to characterize the reason for browsing at least one multimedia content to be recommended, such as... Figure 5 As shown.

[0129] Alternatively, the server can calculate the browsing probability of each multimedia content by combining relevant reference information. Specifically, when the server receives a request from the client triggered by a response to browse a set of multimedia content, it returns the browsing probability of each multimedia content to the client. This allows the client to filter at least one piece of multimedia content to be recommended from the set based on the browsing probability of each piece of multimedia content, and display this content in the browsing guidance interface using a different display effect than that corresponding to the browsing status, along with browsing guidance information for this content.

[0130] In this application embodiment, the reference information includes at least one of the following: associated account browsing preferences, usage scenarios, and environmental information. See also... Figure 6 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of reference information in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 The reference information shown includes three types: reading preferences (i.e., account browsing preferences), usage scenarios, and objective environment (i.e., environmental information).

[0131] Reading preferences include, but are not limited to: reading tags, recent reading behavior, and recent bookstore exploration behavior. Specifically, reading tags refer to the novel genre tags that users like, such as fantasy, urban, etc., obtained through user settings; recent reading behavior represents novels read for more than 5 minutes in the past 30 days, and a tag can be determined based on these novels; recent bookstore exploration behavior represents novels clicked on in the bookstore in the past 30 days, and a tag can be determined based on these novels.

[0132] The usage scenarios include, but are not limited to, location and current time period. Specifically, location is represented by tags of novels the user frequently reads at the current location, based on the user's reading history; current time period is represented by tags of novels the user frequently reads at the current time, based on the user's reading history.

[0133] The objective environment includes, but is not limited to, a hot topic database, friends' reading behavior, and book popularity. Specifically, the hot topic database refers to the keywords that are popular across the entire network in the past 7 days, and a category of tags can be determined based on these keywords; friends' reading behavior refers to novels that friends have read for more than 5 minutes in the past 30 days, and a category of tags can be determined based on these novels; book popularity refers to novels whose popularity has surged by more than 100,000 in the past 7 days, and a category of tags can also be determined based on these novels.

[0134] In one optional implementation, when calculating the browsing probability corresponding to each multimedia content, the following operations are performed for each multimedia content:

[0135] For each multimedia content, obtain relevant reference information; based on the reference information, analyze and obtain various content tags corresponding to the multimedia content; match each content tag with various preset reference tags, and determine the browsing probability of the multimedia content based on the matching results.

[0136] Among them, the various content tags refer to those derived from the analysis of reference information based on a specific multimedia content, while the various preset reference tags are set by the user or obtained from experience analysis.

[0137] Furthermore, the embodiments of this application further define weights for different dimensions, for example:

[0138] The weights for reading tags are x1, recent reading behavior is x2, recent bookstore exploration behavior is x3, current location is y1, current time period is y2, trending topics are z1, friends' reading behavior is z2, and book popularity is z3.

[0139] The specific method for calculating the probability score of reading a book (i.e., the probability of browsing) is as follows:

[0140] When the novel tags on the bookshelf match the tags in the model dimension, a score is calculated. Taking novel 'a' as an example:

[0141] Table 1

[0142] Reading Tags Reading behavior Exploratory behavior Location Current period Hotspot Library Friends' reading behavior Book popularity Matching situation 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 Single item score x1 0 0 y1 0 0 z1 z2

[0143] Here, 1 indicates that the content tag matches the corresponding preset reference tag, and 0 indicates that the content tag does not match the corresponding preset reference tag. The matching results for the content tags in the above categories are as follows: reading tags, location, friends' reading behavior, and book popularity. Therefore, the reading probability score for novel a is x1 + y1 + z1 + z2. Similarly, the reading probability score for all books on the bookshelf can be calculated, and the novel with the highest score will receive reading guidance.

[0144] In this embodiment, the reading probability of all books in the bookshelf can be calculated by combining data such as the user's reading tags, recent reading behavior, bookstore operation behavior, user location, current time period, recent news hotspots, and book popularity. It should be noted that the weighting calculation method for the reading probability score is not limited, nor is the type of dimension selected; the above is merely an example and no specific limitations are made here.

[0145] In the above implementation, based on the reading probability of books, some books to be recommended can be selected from unread books, and relevant browsing guidance information can be displayed. This can enhance users' awareness of unread books, arouse their desire to reread them, and prevent users from forgetting the books.

[0146] In one optional implementation, for each multimedia content, if the browsing status of a multimedia content indicates that the unbrowsed duration of the multimedia content exceeds a preset duration, then the multimedia content is removed from the multimedia content set.

[0147] For example, for Figure 3 The three books that have not been read for 30+ days in the bookshelf shown can be removed from the bookshelf.

[0148] In other words, in this embodiment of the application, books that are no longer of interest can be removed from the bookshelf, keeping the bookshelf tidy and vibrant, reducing the hassle of user management operations, and preventing the bookshelf from becoming a complex and bulky product module over time.

[0149] See Figure 7 The diagram shown is a flowchart of the third content browsing guidance method provided in this application embodiment, applied to the server side. The specific implementation process of this method is as follows:

[0150] S71: After receiving the request sent by the client through the trigger operation of browsing the multimedia content collection, obtain the browsing status of each multimedia content in the multimedia content collection, and return the browsing status of each multimedia content to the client so that the client can display the browsing status of each multimedia content on the browsing guide interface, and present the corresponding display effect on the browsing guide interface according to the browsing status of each multimedia content. Different browsing statuses correspond to different display effects.

[0151] In this embodiment, after the client responds to the trigger operation of browsing a multimedia content set, it sends a retrieval request to the server. Upon receiving the retrieval request, the server queries the browsing status of each multimedia content item in the corresponding multimedia content set and returns it to the client for display. Figure 3 As shown.

[0152] S72: After receiving a browsing status update request for the target multimedia content, update the browsing status of the stored target multimedia content. The browsing status update request is triggered by the client in response to a browsing operation triggered for the target multimedia content in the multimedia content set.

[0153] Afterwards, when a user opens their bookshelf and clicks to browse a novel, the browsing status of that novel may or may not change. For example... Figures 4A to 4C As shown, when a user browses target multimedia content, the browsing status of the target multimedia content changes. Therefore, the client also needs to send a browsing status update request for the target multimedia content to the server. The server updates the browsing status of the stored target multimedia content according to the browsing status update request.

[0154] In one optional implementation, after receiving a request from a client triggered by a response to browse a collection of multimedia content, the server first needs to determine the operation information of the account associated with each multimedia content in the collection and at least one of the content elements of each multimedia content; then, based on the operation information of the account associated with each multimedia content and at least one of the content elements of each multimedia content, the server classifies the status of each multimedia content to obtain the browsing status of each multimedia content.

[0155] In one optional implementation, the operation information may include the latest browsing time corresponding to the multimedia content; in this method, when classifying the status of each multimedia content according to the operation information corresponding to the account associated with each multimedia content, the following operations are performed for each multimedia content:

[0156] For one of the multimedia contents, the difference between the current time and the latest browsing time corresponding to the multimedia content is used as the unviewed duration corresponding to the multimedia content; according to the mapping relationship between the time interval to which the unviewed duration belongs and the browsing state, the browsing state corresponding to the multimedia content is determined.

[0157] Suppose the current date (current time) is T1. Taking the novel a as an example, the date of the last reading is T2. Then the number of unread days of the novel a can be calculated as: T = T1 - T2. Furthermore, judge the time interval to which T belongs, and determine the corresponding mapping relationship according to this time interval.

[0158] For example, when T <= 7, the browsing state is S1: reading; when 7 < T <= 30, the browsing state is S2: lightly unread; when T > 30, the browsing state is S3: severely unread, and so on.

[0159] Moreover, in the embodiments of the present application, different browsing states also correspond to different display effects. For example:

[0160] S1 corresponds to the display effect M1 (such as a larger-sized cover + reading progress + last positioned content); S2 corresponds to the display effect M2 (such as only showing the cover and title, and the cover is de-colored, covered with dust, etc.); S3 corresponds to the display effect M3 (such as multiple books stacked in a folder, and the folder shows the appearance of being covered with dust and getting old, etc.).

[0161] It should be noted that the division dimension of the browsing state is not limited to those listed in the above embodiments other than the latest browsing time. It can also be dimensions such as location, format (referring to file types, such as video, audio), source (such as when the multimedia content refers to a file on the computer desktop, according to time / document location, sent by different people, etc.), content elements (including a certain person, certain buildings), etc. It can also be a combination of multiple dimensions. For example, on the basis of the browsing time listed above, combined with content elements, a more detailed browsing state can be divided, and so on. No specific limitation is made here.

[0162] In an optional implementation manner, the server can also calculate the browsing probability corresponding to each multimedia content in combination with the reference information related to the multimedia content. When the server receives a fetch request sent by the client in response to the trigger operation of browsing the multimedia content set, it returns the browsing probability corresponding to each multimedia content to the client, so that the client can screen out at least one multimedia content to be recommended from the multimedia content set according to the browsing probability corresponding to each multimedia content, and display at least one multimedia content to be recommended in a manner different from the display effect corresponding to the corresponding browsing state in the browsing guidance interface, and display the browsing guidance information for at least one multimedia content to be recommended, where the browsing guidance information is used to represent the reason for browsing at least one multimedia content to be recommended, such as Figure 5 As shown, the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0163] In one optional implementation, when the server calculates the browsing probability corresponding to each multimedia content, the following operations are performed for each multimedia content:

[0164] For each multimedia content, obtain relevant reference information; based on the reference information, analyze and obtain various content tags corresponding to the multimedia content; match each content tag with various preset reference tags, and determine the browsing probability of the multimedia content based on the matching results.

[0165] It should be noted that the calculation method for the browsing probability of each multimedia content on the server side can be found in the detailed explanation on the client side, and will not be repeated here.

[0166] In one alternative implementation, a probabilistic prediction model can be trained using machine learning. This involves training samples containing multimedia content to train the model. After the training samples pass through the model, the output is obtained. Based on the error between the output and the labels on the training samples, the model parameters are continuously adjusted using an optimization algorithm to obtain the trained probabilistic prediction model. Subsequently, the probabilistic prediction model trained in the training phase can be used to extract features from each multimedia content in the multimedia content set, obtaining the viewing probability of each multimedia content. Then, based on the viewing probabilities of each multimedia content, at least one multimedia content to be recommended can be selected from the multimedia content set.

[0167] It should be noted that the process of calculating the browsing probability for each multimedia content can also be implemented by the client. This eliminates the need for server feedback, and the client analyzes the reference information corresponding to each multimedia content to obtain its browsing probability. Of course, the probability prediction model can also be deployed on terminal devices, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0168] See Figure 8 The diagram shown is an interactive timing diagram of a content browsing guidance method according to an embodiment of this application. The specific implementation flow of this method is as follows:

[0169] First, the user enters the novel channel; when the user clicks on the bookshelf, the client requests data from the server, and the server reads the reading status of the novels on the bookshelf; the reading status can be marked by the user.

[0170] Afterwards, the server determines whether the novel has been finished reading, and based on the result, sends a list of novels that have been read back to the client; the client then displays the list of novels that have been read in the "My Reading Memories" module.

[0171] At the same time, the server will also calculate the number of days T that each unread novel in the list of unread novels has not been read; then, the server will match the corresponding browsing status according to the T of each novel and send the browsing status of the unread novels back to the client.

[0172] Furthermore, the client matches the corresponding display effect according to the novel's browsing status and displays it in the novel list (i.e., bookshelf), presenting different book styles;

[0173] When a user selects a novel 'a' that is not in state S1, the client changes the book style to M1 and transmits the state change data to the server; the server then updates the novel's state to S1.

[0174] When the user exits the reader and returns to the bookshelf, the process returns to the initial steps, and the status of the novels on the bookshelf is checked and calculated again.

[0175] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of this application also provide a content browsing guidance device. For example... Figure 9 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first type of content browsing guidance device 900 in this application embodiment, which may include:

[0179] After responding to the trigger operation of browsing the multimedia content collection, before the browsing guide interface displays the browsing status of each multimedia content in the multimedia content collection, a request is sent to the server to receive the browsing status of each multimedia content returned by the server. The browsing status of each multimedia content is obtained by classifying the status of each multimedia content based on the operation information of the account associated with each multimedia content and at least one of the content elements of each multimedia content.

[0180] Optionally, the first response unit 901 is specifically used for:

[0186] The recommendation unit 903 is used to display at least one multimedia content to be recommended in the browsing guidance interface in a way that is different from the display effect corresponding to the corresponding browsing state, and to display browsing guidance information for the at least one multimedia content to be recommended. The at least one multimedia content to be recommended is multimedia content selected from the multimedia content set according to the browsing probability corresponding to each multimedia content. The browsing guidance information is used to represent the reason for browsing at least one multimedia content to be recommended.

[0193] Optionally, the device also includes:

[0194] The adjustment unit 905 is used to remove a multimedia content from the multimedia content set if the browsing status of a multimedia content indicates that the unbrowsed duration of the multimedia content exceeds a preset duration.

[0195] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of this application also provide a content browsing guidance device. For example...

[0211] Each type of content tag is matched with a type of preset reference tag, and the browsing probability of a multimedia content is determined based on the matching results.

[0212] For ease of description, the above sections are divided into modules (or units) according to their functions and described separately. Of course, in implementing this application, the functions of each module (or unit) can be implemented in one or more software or hardware components.

[0213] Having described the content browsing guidance method and apparatus according to exemplary embodiments of this application, we will now describe an electronic device according to another exemplary embodiment of this application.

[0214] Those skilled in the art will understand that various aspects of this application can be implemented as a system, method, or program product. Therefore, various aspects of this application can be specifically implemented in the following forms: a completely hardware implementation, a completely software implementation (including firmware, microcode, etc.), or a combination of hardware and software implementations, collectively referred to herein as a "circuit," "module," or "system."

[0215] Based on the same inventive concept as the above-described method embodiments, this application also provides an electronic device. This electronic device can be used for content browsing guidance. In one embodiment, the electronic device can be a server, such as... Figure 1 The server 120 is shown. In this embodiment, the electronic device can be structured as follows: Figure 11 As shown, it includes a memory 1101, a communication module 1103, and one or more processors 1102.

[0216] The memory 1101 is used to store computer programs executed by the processor 1102. The memory 1101 may mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area may store the operating system and programs required to run instant messaging functions, etc.; the data storage area may store various instant messaging information and operation instruction sets, etc.

[0217] Memory 1101 may be volatile memory, such as random-access memory (RAM); memory 1101 may also be non-volatile memory, such as read-only memory, flash memory, hard disk drive (HDD), or solid-state drive (SSD); or memory 1101 may be any other medium capable of carrying or storing desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and accessible by a computer, but is not limited thereto. Memory 1101 may be a combination of the above-described memories.

[0219] The communication module 1103 is used to communicate with terminal devices and other servers.

[0220] This application does not limit the specific connection medium between the memory 1101, the communication module 1103, and the processor 1102 as described above. This disclosure embodiment... Figure 11 The memory 1101 and the processor 1102 are connected via a bus 1104, and the bus 1104 is in Figure 11 The connections between other components are shown in thick lines only and are not intended to be limiting. Bus 1104 can be divided into address bus, data bus, control bus, etc. For ease of illustration, Figure 11 The bus is represented by a single thick line, but this does not mean that there is only one bus or one type of bus.

[0221] The memory 1101 stores a computer storage medium, which stores computer-executable instructions for implementing the content browsing guidance method of this application embodiment. The processor 1102 is used to execute the above-described content browsing guidance method, such as... Figure 7 As shown.

In some embodiments, it may include a Circuit-Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) module, which is a short-range wireless transmission technology. Electronic devices can use the WiFi module to help users send and receive information.

[0224] The memory 1220 can be used to store software programs and data. The processor 1280 executes various functions of the terminal device 110 and performs data processing by running the software programs or data stored in the memory 1220. The memory 1220 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device. The memory 1220 stores an operating system that enables the terminal device 110 to run. In this application, the memory 1220 may store the operating system and various applications, and may also store code for executing the content browsing boot method of the embodiments of this application.

[0225] The display unit 1230 can also be used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user, as well as various menus of the terminal device 110, forming a graphical user interface (GUI). Specifically, the display unit 1230 may include a display screen 1232 disposed on the front of the terminal device 110.
