[0041] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0042] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0043] To enrich the display functionality of notification messages for functional modules, this disclosure provides a message display method. First, media content is displayed on a media content display page. Then, upon receiving a notification message from a functional module in the sidebar of the media content display page, the notification message is displayed at a preset location on the media content display page. This disclosure enables timely notifications from functional modules in the sidebar to the user while they are browsing media content, enriching the display functionality of notification messages and thus improving the user experience.

[0044] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a message display method, referring to... Figure 1 The flowchart below illustrates a message display method provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes:

[0045] S101: Display media content on the media content display page.

[0046] The message display method provided in this disclosure can be applied to a client, such as a client deployed on a smartphone, a client deployed on a tablet, etc.

[0047] The media content display page can be a page that displays media content, specifically including a video recommendation page, etc. The media content display page is used to display media content. In this embodiment of the disclosure, the media content displayed on the media content display page can be any type of media content, including video content, text and image content, etc.

[0048] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a media content display page provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. The media content can be displayed as follows: Figure 2 As shown, in addition, tabs are also displayed on the media content display page, such as the 202 "Recommended" tab, to identify the media content display page. There can be more than one tab, and page switching can be achieved by switching tabs.

[0049] S102: In response to a notification message from a function module in the sidebar of the media content display page, the notification message is displayed at a preset position on the media content display page.

[0050] A sidebar is a page format that appears from the side of the main page and is displayed on the side of the main page. It can also be hidden on the side. When the sidebar is displayed, it will cover part of the main page. The sidebar contains pre-added functional modules and other content.

[0051] A functional module refers to an application with certain specific functions, such as a mini-program or an app. In this embodiment of the disclosure, a functional module is any module pre-added to the sidebar. The functional module can generate notification messages to notify the relevant information of the functional module.

[0052] In addition, the location for displaying notification messages on the media content display page is preset, and users can adjust the display location of notification messages according to their preferences; there are no restrictions here.

[0053] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when a notification message is received from a functional module in the sidebar of the media content display page, the media content display page displays the sidebar control corresponding to the sidebar, and displays the notification message on the sidebar control.

[0054] Specifically, the sidebar control displays the corresponding entry identifier and notification message content for the sidebar.

[0055] The entry sign indicates that users can access the sidebar by clicking the sidebar control.

[0056] As above Figure 2 As shown, entry point 201 means that users can trigger the display of the sidebar by clicking the sidebar control, and then enter the sidebar.

[0057] In this embodiment of the disclosure, during the process of browsing media content based on the media content display page, the functional modules in the sidebar of the media content display page may generate notification messages. In order to notify the user in a timely manner, the notification message can be displayed at a preset position on the media content display page when the notification message from the functional module in the sidebar of the media content display page is received, so as to notify the user in a timely manner.

[0058] Specifically, when a notification message is received from a functional module in the sidebar of the media content display page, the corresponding sidebar control is displayed on the media content display page. The sidebar control displays the notification message and the entry identifier. When the sidebar control displays the notification message, the tabs originally displayed on the media content display page can be hidden to reduce interference with the display of the notification message.

[0059] In practical applications, since displaying notification messages is intended to remind users to view the message to obtain relevant information about the corresponding functional modules, displaying notification messages for extended periods can affect users' browsing of media content and reduce their immersive experience. To address this issue, in this embodiment, the display time of the notification message is timed, and when the timer reaches a preset duration, the sidebar controls disappear and the notification message is hidden; additionally, the tabs on the media content display page can be redisplayed. Specifically, timing begins when a notification message is detected appearing on the media content display page, and when the timer reaches a preset duration, the sidebar controls and the notification message disappear from the media content display page, i.e., the notification message is hidden and the tabs are redisplayed.

[0060] In one optional implementation, when a notification message from a functional module in the sidebar of the media content display page is received, the notification message and entry identifier are displayed on the sidebar control of the media content display page, and the tab label is hidden. The display page then shows the sidebar control and the notification message and entry identifier displayed on it. ， like Figure 3 The 301 error on the left side of the page. On the other hand, a timer starts when a notification message is detected appearing on the media content display page. When the display duration of the notification message reaches a preset duration, such as 1 second, the sidebar controls disappear, the notification message is hidden, and the tabs are redisplayed.

[0061] In practical applications, different notification messages may contain different types of content. Different display styles can be set for notification messages containing different content types, which can effectively prompt users.

[0062] In one optional implementation, upon receiving a notification message from a functional module in the sidebar of the media content display page, a sidebar control corresponding to the sidebar is displayed on the media content display page. The notification message and an entry identifier are first displayed on the sidebar control. If it is determined that the notification message contains a user identifier, the entry identifier displayed on the sidebar control can be dynamically switched to the user icon corresponding to that user identifier. The user icon is used to indicate that the notification message comes from the corresponding user, and the user icon can be a user avatar, user ID, etc.

[0063] like Figure 3 The diagram shows another media content display page provided in this embodiment. Assuming that when a notification message from a functional module in the sidebar of the media content display page is received, a sidebar control corresponding to the sidebar is displayed on the media content display page. The sidebar control displays the notification message and the sidebar's entry identifier. For example, the sidebar control 301 displays an entry identifier 303 and a notification description of "Updated work, come and check it out!" If it is determined that the notification message contains a user identifier, the entry identifier displayed on the sidebar control is switched to the user icon 302 corresponding to that user identifier. At this time, the sidebar control displays the user avatar 302 and the notification description of "Updated work, come and check it out!".

[0064] By smoothly switching from the entry icon and notification description displayed on the sidebar control to a dynamic display of the user icon and notification description, the way notification messages are displayed is enriched, and the user experience is improved.

[0065] In addition to displaying user icons and notification descriptions on the sidebar control, this embodiment of the disclosure also provides another sidebar display style. Specifically:

[0066] Receive notification messages from functional modules in the sidebar of the media content display page. If it is determined that the notification message contains a module identifier corresponding to the functional module, display the module identifier corresponding to the functional module on the sidebar control to indicate the functional module to which the notification message belongs.

[0067] To better understand the above embodiments, this disclosure provides a schematic diagram of a media content display page, such as... Figure 4 As shown, when a notification message from a functional module in the sidebar of the media content display page is received, if it is determined that the notification message of the functional module contains the module icon of the module program, the module identifier 402 corresponding to the functional module is displayed on the sidebar control. At this time, the sidebar control displays the entry identifier 401, the module identifier 402, and the notification description information 403, etc.

[0068] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, although the sidebar control hides the sidebar control and its displayed content after a preset time period based on a display timer when displaying at least one of notification messages, module identifiers, entry identifiers, and user icons, users may have a need to close the sidebar control during this display period. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sidebar control can also display a close control while displaying notification messages and entry identifiers, specifically for closing the current sidebar control:

[0069] When a trigger operation is received for the close control, the sidebar control and its displayed content are hidden; the displayed content includes at least one of notification messages, module identifiers, entry identifiers, and user icons.

[0070] In one optional implementation, when a notification message from a functional module in the sidebar of the media content display page is received, the notification message and entry identifier are displayed on the sidebar control of the media content display page, and the tab label is hidden. A timer starts when the notification message is detected to be displayed on the media content display page. If the preset time has not been reached, the user triggers the sidebar control to enter the sidebar to view the message, or if the user is aware of the message based on the notification message on the sidebar control but does not want the notification message to continue to be displayed on the media content display page, the user can manually trigger the close control. At this time, the sidebar control is closed, and the content displayed on the sidebar control is hidden.

[0071] Since the sidebar may contain a large number of functional modules, it may also generate a large number of notification messages. In order to reduce the impact on users' browsing of media content, a display strategy for notification messages can be pre-set.

[0072] In this embodiment of the disclosure, assuming multiple notification messages from functional modules in the sidebar are received simultaneously, if it is determined that the notification messages do not belong to the same functional module, the notification message closest to the current time can be determined based on the generation time of the notification message, and that notification message can be displayed on the media content display page. Alternatively, the display order of the notification messages can be determined based on the frequency of user use of the functional modules, so that multiple notification messages can be displayed in a scrolling manner on the sidebar control of the media content display page.

[0073] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if multiple notification messages are determined to belong to the same functional module and are of the same type, then these multiple notification messages can be displayed together. This method simplifies the display of numerous notification messages.

[0074] For ease of understanding of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of another media content display page provided in this embodiment. When multiple notification messages of the same type from the same functional module are received in the sidebar of the media content display page, these multiple notification messages can be merged and displayed on the sidebar control of the media content display page, such as... Figure 5 The sidebar control shown displays the entry identifier 501, the number of notification messages "10+" 502, and the notification description information 503.

[0075] In one optional implementation, the media content displayed on the media content display page can be bound to one or more functional modules. During the browsing of media content, users can add the functional module corresponding to the media content to the sidebar. Specifically, in this embodiment of the disclosure, a functional module addition control can be displayed on the media content display page to trigger the addition of the functional module bound to the currently displayed media content to the sidebar.

[0076] Specifically, upon receiving a trigger operation to add controls to a functional module, a sidebar is displayed on the media content display page, and the functional module corresponding to the media content displayed on the media content display page is added to the sidebar.

[0077] The "Add Functional Module" control is used to add the functional modules bound to the currently displayed media content to the sidebar.

[0078] In one alternative implementation, the control for adding a functional module will only be displayed on the media content display page if the currently displayed media content is bound to a functional module, and only then can the user trigger the addition of the functional module corresponding to the media content to the sidebar.

[0079] like Figure 6 The diagram shown is a schematic of another media content display page provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure. The page displays a function module addition control 601, and the displayed content can be "Add function module to sidebar" to prompt the user about the function of the control. Of course, the displayed content on the function module addition control can also be other forms of content to prompt the user about the function of adding the function module bound to the currently displayed media content to the sidebar.

[0080] Based on the above embodiments, when a trigger operation is received to add control 601 to the functional module, in Figure 6The media content display page switches from a left-side display state to a right-side display state, displaying a sidebar such as 602, and adding the functional module corresponding to the media content to the sidebar. Assuming that the functional module bound to the media content is "functional module 1", when a trigger operation is received to add control 601 to the functional module, the sidebar 602 is displayed on the media content display page, and the functional module 1 corresponding to the media content is added to the sidebar 602.

[0081] In addition, the default position of function module 1 on the sidebar is set to the first row and first column, but users can also adjust it according to their own preferences.

[0082] This disclosed embodiment can promptly notify users of notification messages from functional modules in the sidebar while they are browsing media content, enriching the display functionality of notification messages and thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, it also supports adding functional modules bound to the currently displayed media content to the sidebar, enabling quick addition of functional modules and enhancing the user's operational experience.
