[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this specification will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] It is understandable that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the types, scope of use, usage scenarios, etc. of the personal information involved in the present disclosure should be informed to the user and the user's authorization should be obtained in an appropriate manner in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.

[0023] For example, in response to receiving an active request from a user, a prompt message is sent to the user to clearly prompt the user that the operation requested to be performed will require obtaining and using the user's personal information. Thus, the user can autonomously choose whether to provide personal information to software or hardware such as an electronic device, application, server, or storage medium that performs the operation of the technical solution of the present disclosure according to the prompt message.

[0024] As an optional but non-limiting implementation, in response to receiving an active request from the user, the prompt information may be sent to the user in the form of a pop-up window, in which the prompt information may be presented in text form. In addition, the pop-up window may also carry a selection control for the user to choose "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0025] It is understandable that the above notification and the process of obtaining user authorization are merely illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the implementation of the present disclosure. Other methods that meet the relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of the present disclosure.

[0026] The embodiments of this specification disclose a method and device for displaying the last page of an electronic book. The application scenarios and technical concepts of the method are first introduced as follows:

[0027] At present, many e-book readers are accustomed to reading the latest chapters updated by the author every day, that is, "chasing updates". After reading the latest updated chapters, readers often "turn the page" to the last page of the e-book (at this time, readers realize that they have finished reading the latest updated chapters, and inevitably feel a sense of loss of finishing the content and anxiety about waiting for the next content update). At present, e-book reading software only displays words such as "To be continued" at the last page of the e-book to indicate that the e-book is in a serialized state, which contains less useful information, which to a certain extent leads to a poor user experience.

[0028] In order to solve the above-mentioned related technical problems, the embodiments of this specification disclose a method and device for displaying the last page of an e-book. Figure 1A schematic diagram of an implementation scenario according to an embodiment disclosed in this specification is shown. In this implementation scenario, a user (book reader) can read a target e-book through a client (e.g., e-book reading software, browser software, etc.) that provides a book reading function. When entering the last page of the target e-book, an access request for the last page of the target e-book is triggered. In response to the access request, if the target e-book is determined to be a serialized book, the client obtains information related to chapter updates of the target e-book, wherein the information may include the update time of the target e-book chapter to be updated, as well as the target e-book chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information. The aforementioned information is displayed on the last page of the book for the user to view, read, and then interact.

[0029] In one exemplary scenario, the user may trigger a request to access the last page of the target e-book after reading the latest updated chapter content of the target e-book (a book in a serialized state). In another exemplary scenario, the user may trigger a request to access the last page of the target e-book after reading all the content of the target e-book (a book in a completed state).

[0030] In another embodiment, if it is determined that the target e-book is a completed book, the client can obtain secondary creation content corresponding to the target e-book, wherein the secondary creation content may include: plot adaptation content corresponding to each first completed chapter in the target e-book, audio content about each second completed chapter in the target e-book and / or content that continues the plot of the target e-book; and the aforementioned secondary creation content is displayed on the last page of the book.

[0031] In the above process, the client can display information related to chapter updates on the last page of a serialized book, and display the update time of the chapters to be updated to the book readers, so as to provide the book readers with a clear update time and reduce their anxiety; and provide the book readers with key chapter information and / or chapter interaction information related to the book, and provide the book readers with other consumable content for the target e-book, so as to increase the interest of the book readers, increase the sense of belonging of the book readers, and improve the readers' usage experience and retention rate. The corresponding secondary creation content of the book is displayed on the last page of the book in the completed state to increase the atmosphere of the book readers, reduce their sense of loss after reading the book, and improve the user experience and user retention rate.

[0032] The method and device for displaying the last page of an electronic book provided in this specification are described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0033] Figure 2A flow chart of a method for displaying the last page of an e-book in an embodiment of the present specification is shown. The method can be implemented by a client, which can be an e-book reading client, a browser client, etc., which provides an e-book reading function. The client can be installed in an electronic device, which can be any device with computing and processing capabilities, for example, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, an e-book reader, etc. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps S210-S220:

[0034] In step S210, in response to the user's access request for the last page of the target electronic book, if it is determined that the target electronic book is a serialized book, information related to chapter updates of the target electronic book is obtained, wherein the information includes the update time of the chapter to be updated of the target electronic book, and the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of the target electronic book.

[0035] The target e-book may be any e-book provided by the client and readable by the user. The type of the target e-book may be novel, drama, poetry, etc., and the embodiment of this specification does not limit the type of the target e-book. The user may be any user who reads the target e-book and triggers an access request to the last page of the target e-book.

[0036] In one implementation, a user reads a target e-book through a client. During the reading, if it is detected that the user triggers an access request for the last page of the target e-book, the client may assume that the user has currently read all the chapter contents currently contained in the target e-book. In response to the access request, the client may continue to obtain the status type of the target e-book (including serial status and completed status). If the target e-book is determined to be a serialized book, it may be determined that the target e-book also includes several chapter contents to be updated (i.e., the user has read all the updated chapter contents of the target e-book). Accordingly, the client may read out information related to chapter updates of the target e-book from its corresponding preset storage area or obtain information from the server. The information obtained by the client includes the update time of the chapter to be updated of the target e-book, as well as the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of the target e-book. Among them, the chapter to be updated is the next chapter of the latest chapter of the target e-book that has been updated.

[0037] The information related to chapter update of the target electronic book stored in the preset storage area may be information that the client obtains from the server in advance and that is stored in the preset storage area.

[0038] In one embodiment, the chapter key information may include: content extension information corresponding to the previous chapter of the chapter to be updated. In one implementation, the content extension information corresponding to the previous chapter (i.e., chapter n-1) of the chapter to be updated (e.g., chapter n-1) may include, for example: summary information of the content and plot direction of the previous chapter (i.e., chapter n-1), guidance information and / or continued introduction information of the plot contained in the chapter content of the previous chapter (i.e., chapter n-1). This type of information may be uploaded by the author of the target e-book, or it may be extracted by the client based on the outline content of the target e-book.

[0039] In another embodiment, the chapter interaction information may include: plot discussion information for the chapter to be updated. In one implementation, in order to improve user interest and increase user retention rate, the client can provide users with a discussion function for discussing the plot direction and reading experience of the target e-book. The client can provide users with a corresponding discussion area (interface), and can also provide users with an area for users to perform secondary creation of the target e-book (which can be the same area as the discussion area or a different area). In the discussion area, each client user can discuss the plot development direction, characters, etc. of the target e-book (and other e-books). Accordingly, the client can obtain the client user's guessed discussion content on the plot development direction of the chapter to be updated of the target e-book from the discussion area, and then generate plot discussion information for the chapter to be updated based on the guessed discussion content.

[0040] After the client obtains the update time of the chapter to be updated of the target e-book, as well as the chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information of the target e-book, the client displays the information on the last page of the book in step S220. In order to ensure the aesthetics and orderliness of the display effect of the last page of the book, the client can display the update time, as well as the chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information of the target e-book in different areas on the last page of the book.

[0041] In one embodiment, step S220 may include the following steps 11-12: In step 11, the update time is displayed in a preset display mode at the top area of ​​the last page of the book. In step 12, the chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information of the chapter to be updated is displayed in a designated area of ​​the last page of the book corresponding to the first display mark corresponding to the update time, wherein the first display mark is determined according to the chapter update frequency of the target electronic book.

[0042] In this implementation, in order to improve the user's attention to the update time, it is ensured that the user can pay attention to the update time of the to-be-updated chapter of the displayed target e-book, such as Figure 3A and Figure 3BAs shown, the client can display the update time in a preset display mode at the top area of ​​the last page of the book to ensure that the user can pay attention to the update time. In addition, the client can display the chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information of the chapter to be updated in a designated area of ​​the last page of the book corresponding to the first display mark corresponding to the update time, wherein the first display mark is determined according to the chapter update frequency of the target e-book.

[0043] In one implementation, in order to ensure the accuracy and credibility of the update time of the target e-book chapter to be updated provided to the user, the chapter update frequency of the target e-book may be set by the author of the target e-book, such as daily update, weekly update, etc. The author of the target e-book may set and adjust the chapter update frequency according to his / her own situation.

[0044] In one embodiment, in order to better improve the user's enthusiasm for interacting with the target e-book, more relevant update information about the target e-book can be provided to the user. Accordingly, the chapter key information can also include: chapter key information of each updated chapter of the target e-book within a preset time period and / or, the chapter interaction information can also include: chapter interaction information of each updated chapter. The preset time period can be set according to actual conditions, such as the latest week or the latest month, etc. The first display mark is a date mark;

[0045] Correspondingly, in step 12, it can specifically include: displaying the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of each updated chapter, as well as the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of the chapter to be updated, in a calendar form, corresponding to the update date identifier corresponding to each updated chapter and the date identifier corresponding to the update time.

[0046] When it is determined based on the chapter update frequency of the target e-book that the target e-book is updated daily (at least one chapter may be updated per day), the first display identifier may be a date identifier. Accordingly, the client may display the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of each updated chapter, as well as the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of the chapter to be updated, in a calendar format, corresponding to the update date identifier corresponding to each updated chapter and the date identifier corresponding to the update time.

[0047] like Figure 3A As shown, the client can display the update date mark corresponding to each updated chapter and the date mark corresponding to the update time in the mark display area (between the designated area and the top area) of the last page of the book. Figure 3AAs shown, the update date identifiers corresponding to each updated chapter and the date identifiers corresponding to the update time (for example, the date identifiers are the date serial numbers 23-31 of the corresponding month) can be arranged in order from early to late in a row (or multiple rows) and displayed in the identifier display area on the last page of the book.

[0048] Considering the limited display interface area of ​​the electronic device where the client is located, the logo display area can display some of the date logos (such as Figure 3A The date serial numbers "27, 28, 29, 30, 31" shown in the figure) can be viewed by sliding left and right in the logo display area to view the updated date logos and the date logos corresponding to the updated time. Among them, the date logo 31 is the date logo corresponding to the updated time.

[0049] In one case, if it is a date identifier indicating the current date, "today" can also be set as the date identifier corresponding to the update time; in another case, if it is a date identifier indicating the next day of the current date, "tomorrow" can also be set as the date identifier corresponding to the update time. In another case, the date identifier indicating the current date (the aforementioned update date identifier or the date identifier corresponding to the update time) can be set to "today", and other date identifiers are represented by the date serial number of the corresponding month.

[0050] In another implementation, the update date mark corresponding to each updated chapter and the date mark corresponding to the update time can be displayed in a standard calendar format. For example, the update date mark and the date mark corresponding to the update time are displayed in a plurality of rows, each row including seven date marks belonging to the same week (also known as week, Monday to Sunday). In one case, the mark display area can be a scrollable display area, so that the user can slide up and down to view the date mark.

[0051] It can be understood that the designated area can be an area different from the top area of ​​the aforementioned last page.

[0052] The client can display the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of each updated chapter and the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of the chapter to be updated in the designated area of ​​the last page of the book, for the update date mark corresponding to each updated chapter and the date mark corresponding to the update time. Figure 3A As shown, when a date marker (an updated date marker or a date marker corresponding to an updated time, such as "today" as shown in the figure) is selected, the date marker is highlighted, and the designated area at the last page of the book displays the selected date marker and the chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information of the corresponding chapter.

[0053] In one case, the chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information includes a large amount of content. Considering the limited display interface area of ​​the electronic device where the client is located, the designated area can be a scrollable display area so that the user can slide up and down to view the complete chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information.

[0054] In another case, in order to ensure the simplicity of the display effect of the last page of the book, the selected date mark and the chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information of the corresponding chapter can be displayed in thumbnail form in a designated area (i.e., thumbnail information of the chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information is displayed). The user can trigger the corresponding thumbnail information to enter the interface that displays the complete chapter key information of the chapter corresponding to the selected date mark and / or the interface that displays the complete chapter interactive information of the chapter corresponding to the selected date mark.

[0055] In another case, the identification display area of ​​the last page of the book can also correspond to the update date identification corresponding to each updated chapter, and display the corresponding number of updated chapters. For example, the update date identification corresponding to the updated chapter A is displayed with "Update 3 Chapters", indicating that 3 chapters were updated within the date corresponding to the update date identification. In addition, in the designated area of ​​the last page of the book, the chapter identification information (such as the chapter number and chapter title content) of the corresponding updated chapter can also be displayed corresponding to the selected date identification. The chapter identification information can be triggered to enter the corresponding chapter content reading interface.

[0056] In another embodiment, the chapter key information may further include: chapter key information of each updated chapter corresponding to the target electronic book within a preset time period and / or, the chapter interaction information may further include: chapter interaction information of each updated chapter; the first display mark is the first week mark to which the update time belongs;

[0057] In step 12, it can specifically include: displaying the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of each updated chapter and the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of the chapter to be updated in a preset weekly calendar format, corresponding to the second week mark and the first week mark corresponding to the update date of each updated chapter.

[0058] In this implementation, when the client determines that the target e-book is updated weekly based on the chapter update frequency of the target e-book, the first display identifier can be the first week identifier to which the update time belongs. Accordingly, the client can display the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of each updated chapter, as well as the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of the chapter to be updated, in a preset weekly calendar format, corresponding to the second week identifiers and the first week identifiers corresponding to the update dates corresponding to each updated chapter.

[0059] like Figure 3B As shown, the client can display the second week logo and the first week logo of the update date corresponding to each updated chapter in the logo display area on the last page of the book. Figure 3B As shown, the second week marks and the first week marks (for example, the "first week, second week, third week, fourth week" of the current month, or the "fifth week" of the previous month, the "first week, second week" of the current month, etc.) can be arranged in a row from early to late according to the included update date (or update time), and displayed in the mark display area on the last page of the book.

[0060] Considering the limited display interface area of ​​the electronic device where the client is located, some of the week labels can be displayed in the label display area, and the user can view the second week labels and the first week labels by sliding left and right in the label display area. In one case, the week label indicating the current week (a second week label or the first week label mentioned above) can be set to "this week", and the other week labels are represented by the xth (serial number) week of the corresponding month.

[0061] The client can display the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of each updated chapter and the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of the chapter to be updated in the designated area of ​​the last page of the book, corresponding to each second week mark and the first week mark. Figure 3B As shown, when a certain week mark (the second week mark or the first week mark) is selected, the week mark is highlighted.

[0062] Accordingly, in one implementation, the selected week mark, the chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information of the corresponding chapter can be displayed in a designated area at the end of the book. Among them, in the designated area, the chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information of each chapter can be displayed corresponding to the mark of its update date. In one case, the chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information includes a large amount of content. Considering the limited display interface area of ​​the electronic device where the client is located, the information display area can be a scrollable display area so that the user can slide up and down to view the complete chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information.

[0063] In another implementation, in order to ensure the simplicity of the display effect of the last page of the book, Figure 3B As shown, in the designated area, the chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information of each chapter corresponding to the selected week mark can be displayed in thumbnail form (i.e., thumbnail information of the chapter key information and / or chapter interactive information of each chapter is displayed), and the user can trigger the thumbnail information to enter the interface displaying the complete chapter key information of the corresponding chapter and / or the interface displaying the complete chapter interactive information of the corresponding chapter.

[0064] In order to better improve the user experience, in one embodiment, the last page of the book can also display an appointment reminder control for the update time, so as to provide the user with an update time reminder service for the chapter to be updated, so that the user who sets the reminder function can read the chapter content of the chapter to be updated earlier; accordingly, the method can also include: in step 21, in response to the trigger request for the appointment reminder control, the update time is associated with the system schedule, so as to remind the user at the first time corresponding to the first time before the update time that the chapter to be updated will be updated at the update time. Among them, the first time can be set by the user or pre-set by the client. For example: the first time is 5 minutes, and accordingly, the client can remind the user at the first time (for example, 6:55 tomorrow (or ...

[0065] like Figure 3A As shown, the appointment reminder control can be displayed in the top area of ​​the last page of the book, such as Figure 3A The "Appointment to System Schedule" control is shown. When the user needs to set a reminder function, he can click the "Appointment to System Schedule" control to enter the setting interface for setting the first duration.

[0066] After that, after the client detects the first duration set by the user in the setting interface, it associates the update time with the system schedule of the electronic device where the client is located, and determines the first time corresponding to the first duration before the update time to remind the user that the updated chapter will be updated at the update time. Afterwards, the client detects that the first time has arrived, and the user is reminded. In one case, the client can remind the user by outputting a reminder message (for example, the content including "xx (the title of the target e-book) will be updated at xx hours xx minutes xx seconds (update time)"). In another case, the client can also remind the user by controlling the electronic device where it is located to vibrate or ring, and output a reminder message. Among them, the client can output the aforementioned reminder information in the form of a pop-up window.

[0067] In one embodiment, in order to ensure the accuracy of the update time of the chapter to be updated provided to the user, the update time is obtained after determining that the author of the target e-book has started the scheduled update setting for the chapter to be updated. In other words, if the client determines that the target e-book is a serialized book, it is also necessary to determine that the author of the target e-book has started the scheduled update setting for the chapter to be updated before obtaining the update time.

[0068] Correspondingly, if it is determined that the author has not started the scheduled update setting, the update time will not be obtained. In order to improve the user experience, the client can continue to obtain the number of updated chapters of the target e-book on the current date; and display the corresponding copy information based on the number of updated chapters on the last page of the book. Among them, if the number of updated chapters obtained is not 0, it means that there is an update on the current date (today). For example, the number of updated chapters is 5. Correspondingly, Figure 3C As shown, the copy information "5 chapters updated today" can be displayed in the top area of ​​the last page of the book. If the number of updated chapters obtained is 0, it means that there is no update on the current date (today), and the copy information "Not updated today" can be displayed in the top area of ​​the last page of the book.

[0069] In another embodiment, if it is determined that the author side has not started the scheduled update setting, the client can also obtain the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of each updated chapter of the target e-book within a preset time period, and display the chapter key information and / or chapter interaction information of each updated chapter in a designated area on the last page of the book corresponding to the display mark corresponding to each updated chapter.

[0070] In this embodiment, the client can display information related to chapter updates on the last page of a serialized book, and display the update time of the chapters to be updated to the book readers, so as to provide the book readers with a clear update time and reduce their anxiety; and provide the book readers with key chapter information and / or chapter interaction information related to the book, and provide the book readers with other consumable content for the target e-book, thereby increasing the interest of the book readers, increasing the sense of belonging of the book readers, and improving the readers' usage experience and retention rate.

[0071] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the method may further include the following steps S410-S420:

[0072] In step S410, in response to a user's access request for the last page of a target e-book, if the target e-book is determined to be a completed book, secondary creation content corresponding to the target e-book is obtained. The secondary creation content includes: plot adaptation content corresponding to each first completed chapter in the target e-book, audio content about each second completed chapter in the target e-book, and / or plot continuation content of the target e-book.

[0073] In step S420, the secondary creation content is displayed on the last page of the book.

[0074] It is understandable that in order to improve the user experience and provide users with quality services, the client can provide users with a discussion area for the target e-book, where users can publish their secondary creations of the target e-book. For example, users can adapt the plots of certain chapters in the target e-book and obtain corresponding adapted plot content, and then upload the corresponding adapted plot content to the client through the upload entry provided in the discussion area; accordingly, the client obtains the adapted plot content for the chapter.

[0075] For another example, a user can dub certain chapters in a target e-book, that is, read certain chapters and obtain corresponding audio content; then the user uploads the corresponding audio content to the client through the upload entry provided in the discussion area; the corresponding client obtains the audio content for the chapter.

[0076] For another example, some users who have read the target e-book are not satisfied with the ending of the target e-book. Accordingly, they create a continuation of the ending of the target e-book and obtain corresponding continuation content. Then, they upload the corresponding continuation content to the client through the upload entrance provided in the discussion area. The client accordingly obtains the continuation content of the plot of the target e-book.

[0077] In this implementation, if the client determines that the target e-book is a completed book, it can be determined that the user has finished reading all chapters of the target e-book. Accordingly, in order to reduce the user's sense of loss, the client can obtain the secondary content corresponding to the target e-book. The secondary content may include but is not limited to: plot adaptation content corresponding to each first completed chapter in the target e-book, audio content about each second completed chapter in the target e-book, and / or plot continuation content of the target e-book.

[0078] Then, the client displays the acquired secondary content on the last page of the book to encourage users to actively participate in viewing and discussing the secondary content of the target e-book, and to a certain extent avoid the user's sense of loss due to reading all the chapters of the target e-book.

[0079] Among them, in the embodiments of this specification, for the sake of clarity, the chapters in the target e-book in the completed state are called completed chapters. The completed chapters corresponding to the plot adaptation content are called the first completed chapters, and the completed chapters corresponding to the audio content are called the second completed chapters. In other words, the "first" is only to distinguish whether the completed chapters in the target e-book correspond to the plot adaptation content, and the "second" is only to distinguish whether the completed chapters in the target e-book correspond to the audio content, and the two do not have any specific other limiting meanings. In one case, a completed chapter can correspond to both the plot adaptation content and the audio content.

[0080] In one embodiment, if the secondary creation content includes the plot adaptation content corresponding to each first completed chapter in the target electronic book, in order to ensure the simplicity of the display effect of the last page of the book, the user can clearly identify the first completed chapter corresponding to each plot adaptation content. Accordingly, in step S420, it can specifically include: on the last page of the book, corresponding to the second display mark corresponding to each first completed chapter, displaying the chapter mark of each first completed chapter and the corresponding plot adaptation content, wherein the second display mark is determined according to the chapter update frequency of the target electronic book. The chapter mark of the first completed chapter may include: chapter number and / or chapter title.

[0081] In one implementation, when the target e-book is determined to be updated daily (at least one chapter may be updated per day) based on the chapter update frequency of the target e-book, the second display identifier may be a date identifier. At this time, the client may display the chapter identifiers of each first completed chapter and the corresponding plot adaptation content corresponding to the date identifiers corresponding to each first completed chapter. When the target e-book is determined to be updated weekly based on the chapter update frequency of the target e-book, the second display identifier may be a week identifier. At this time, the client may display the chapter identifiers of each first completed chapter and the corresponding plot adaptation content corresponding to the week identifiers corresponding to each first completed chapter. Among them, the week identifier may reflect the zzth week of x year xx month.

[0082] As shown in 3D, the client can display information indicating that the target e-book has been completed in the top area of ​​the last page of the book, such as "Complete Book" shown in 3D. The client can display the date marks corresponding to the first completed chapters in the mark display area of ​​the last page of the book in a standard calendar format, for example, Figure 3D As shown, the date marks corresponding to the first completed chapters are displayed in several rows, and each row includes seven date marks belonging to the same week (also known as week, Monday to Sunday) (such as Figure 3D In one case, the identification display area may be a scrollable display area so that the user can slide up and down to view the date identification.

[0083] The client can display the chapter marks of each first completed chapter and the corresponding plot adaptation content in the designated area of ​​the last page of the book corresponding to each date mark. Figure 3D As shown, when a date mark is selected, the date mark is highlighted.

[0084] Correspondingly, the selected date mark, the corresponding chapter mark of the first completed chapter and the corresponding plot adaptation content are displayed in the designated area of ​​the last page of the book. In one case, the plot adaptation content includes a large amount of content. Considering the limited display interface area of ​​the electronic device where the client is located, the designated area can be a scrollable display area so that the user can scroll up and down to view the complete plot adaptation content.

[0085] In another case, in order to ensure the simplicity of the display effect of the last page of the book, Figure 3D As shown, the chapter mark of the first completed chapter corresponding to the selected date mark and the corresponding plot adaptation content can be displayed in a specified area in thumbnail form (i.e., the chapter mark of the first completed chapter and the thumbnail content of the corresponding plot adaptation content are displayed). The user can trigger the corresponding thumbnail content to enter the interface displaying the corresponding complete plot adaptation content. In addition, the chapter mark of the first completed chapter corresponding to the selected date mark and the content mark (such as its title) of the corresponding plot adaptation content can also be displayed.

[0086] In another embodiment, if the secondary creation content includes audio content about each second completed chapter in the target electronic book, correspondingly, in step S420, it may specifically include: on the last page of the book, corresponding to the third display mark corresponding to each second completed chapter, displaying the mark of the audio content about each second completed chapter and the chapter mark of each second completed chapter, wherein the third display mark can be determined according to the chapter update frequency of the target electronic book.

[0087] In another embodiment, if the secondary content includes the plot continuation content of the target e-book, an entrance to the plot continuation content may be displayed in a preset display area at the end of the book. The user may click on the entrance to enter the reading interface of the plot continuation content.

[0088] In another embodiment, the method may further include the following steps 41-42: In step 41, if it is determined that the target e-book is a book in a completed state, the current popularity information and book circle related content of the target e-book are obtained, wherein the current popularity information at least includes the number of people who have finished reading the target e-book; the book circle related content at least includes: relevant discussion content for the plot content of the target e-book. In step 42, the current popularity information and book circle related content are displayed on the last page of the book.

[0089] In one implementation, the current popularity information may also include the total number of collections and comments corresponding to the target e-book, etc. The relevant discussion content may include, but is not limited to: various types of topic posts on the plot content of the target e-book, such as topic posts including discussion content on the plot content, topic posts including adapted content on the plot content, and topic posts including plot continuation content on the plot content, etc. Then, at the end of the book, the current popularity information of the target e-book and the book circle related content are displayed to the user, which can improve the user's sense of belonging to the target e-book to a certain extent, and provide the user with other consumable content for the target e-book (i.e., book circle related content), which can reduce the possibility of the user feeling lost after reading the target e-book to a certain extent.

[0090] like Figure 3E As shown, the client can display information indicating that the target e-book has been completed in the top area of ​​the last page of the book, such as "Complete Book" shown in 3E, and display the current popularity information of the target e-book, such as Figure 3E The content display area at the end of the book displays the discussion content of the target e-book, such as Figure 3E The illustrated topic post mark 1 and its corresponding thumbnail content, topic post mark 2 and its corresponding thumbnail content, and topic post mark 3 and its corresponding thumbnail content. The user can enter the viewing interface of the corresponding content by clicking on the corresponding thumbnail content.

[0091] In the above embodiment, the client displays the secondary creative content corresponding to the book on the last page of the completed book to increase the reader's sense of atmosphere, reduce their sense of loss after finishing the book, and improve the user experience and user retention rate.
