[0047] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for displaying an image in a widget provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to the case where an image is displayed through a view window of a widget. The method can be executed by a device for displaying an image in a widget, which can be implemented in the form of software and / or hardware. The device can be integrated into a widget of an application, and can be configured in an electronic device along with the widget, such as a mobile phone, a computer, or other device.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for displaying an image in a widget provided in this embodiment may include:

[0049] S110, requesting display information from the server; wherein the display information includes: a mosaic image, an index position sequence and a display time sequence; the mosaic image is formed by mosaicking the images to be displayed.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, different application software may include multimedia display interfaces (which may be referred to as functional interfaces) corresponding to different business functions. For example, in social application software, a functional interface for displaying multimedia content posted by communication users may be included; in content sharing application software, a functional interface for displaying multimedia content posted by followed users may be included, etc. Among them, the widget of the application software can be presented on the device screen, and the relevant images of the specified functional interface in the application software can be displayed through a miniature view window. For example, in the case of displaying images of functional pages that aggregate multimedia content through widgets, when the multimedia content is an image, the widget can directly display the image; when the multimedia content is a video, graphic, etc., the widget can display the corresponding cover image.

[0051] In this embodiment, the widget can respond to a preset trigger, start the application software in the background without the user's perception, and send a display information request to the server through the application software to request the display information. Among them, the requested display information can be set according to the specific business scenario. Exemplarily, when the widget displays related images of multimedia content posted by the communication user, it can request related images of multimedia content posted by the communication user within a preset time range (for example, within 3 days), and / or, it can request related images of unread multimedia content in the multimedia content posted by the communication user.

[0052] Accordingly, the server may obtain several related images corresponding to the display information request as images to be displayed, and stitch the several images to be displayed into a stitched image. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a spliced ​​image in a method for displaying an image in a widget provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2, the server can horizontally splice n images to be displayed to obtain a spliced ​​image. In addition, n images to be displayed can also be spliced ​​vertically or in a grid to obtain a spliced ​​image, etc., which are not exhaustively listed here.

[0053] The regional position of the image to be displayed in the mosaic image can be represented by index position information. Figure 2 , 1-n can be used as the index position information of n images to be displayed in the horizontal long image. Then, the regional position of the image to be displayed in the spliced ​​image corresponding to the index position information i can be determined according to the preset length and width dimensions of the image to be displayed in the spliced ​​image and the splicing method, where i∈[1,n]. For example, Figure 2 In the stitching method shown, when the index position information is 1, the area enclosed by 0 to a preset length in the horizontal direction and 0 to a preset width in the vertical direction can be used as the area position of the image to be displayed in the stitching image corresponding to the index position information.

[0054] Among them, the server can determine the index position sequence based on the preset display strategy of the image to be displayed and the index position information of the image to be displayed in the mosaic. For example, the index position sequence can be randomly generated based on the index position information of the image to be displayed based on the random display strategy. Among them, each index position information can appear at least once in the index position sequence, that is, the index position sequence can contain the same index position information. For another example, based on the reverse display strategy, the corresponding index position information can be sequentially composed into an index position sequence according to the reverse order of the release time of the image to be displayed. Among them, the index position sequence can also include multiple rounds of index position information arranged in sequence to achieve multiple rounds of display of the image to be displayed. By sequentially obtaining the index position information in the index position sequence, the target image to be displayed can be obtained from the mosaic according to the preset display strategy, and the carousel order and number of carousels of the image to be displayed can be flexibly controlled to improve the image display effect.

[0055] After determining the index position sequence, the server can also determine the display time sequence according to the to-be-displayed images corresponding to the index position information in the index position sequence. The server can traverse the index position sequence and determine the display time information corresponding to the traversed index position information according to the first display duration of the to-be-displayed images corresponding to the traversed index position information and the number of occurrences of the traversed index position information in the historical traversal. Furthermore, the server can determine the display time sequence according to the display time information determined in sequence.

[0056] The process of determining the first display duration may include: the server may identify the content information amount of the image to be displayed through a pre-built image processing model, and determine the first display duration of the image to be displayed according to the content information amount. The content information amount is positively correlated with the first display duration, that is, the more content information there is in the image to be displayed, the longer its first display duration is.

[0057] Among them, the display time information can be used to characterize the display duration of the image to be displayed, and the process of determining the display time information can include: according to the number of occurrences of the traversed index position information in the historical traversal, attenuating the first display duration of the image to be displayed corresponding to the traversed index position information; according to the attenuated first display duration, determining the display time information of the image to be displayed corresponding to the traversed index position information, that is, the display time information corresponding to the traversed index position information. Among them, the number of occurrences and the attenuation of the attenuation can be positively correlated, that is, the more the number of occurrences of the traversed index position information in the historical traversal, the greater the degree of attenuation of the corresponding first display duration. And, when the number of occurrences is 0, the display time information can be determined according to the first display duration.

[0058] It is understandable that as the number of times the index position information appears in the traversal increases, the number of times the widget presents the corresponding image to be displayed increases, and the user obtains relatively more comprehensive content information of the image to be displayed. The same image to be displayed can be displayed in the view window with a correspondingly reduced display time as the number of times it is presented increases, so as to flexibly control the rotation speed of the image to be displayed and improve the image display effect.

[0059] In addition, it can be known from the above disclosure that the index position sequence and the display time sequence have the same sequence length and have a corresponding relationship. It can be considered that the display time information of the to-be-displayed image corresponding to the index position information of a certain order in the index position sequence is the display time information of the same order in the display time sequence.

[0060] The server may generate display information according to the splicing graph, the index position sequence and the display time sequence, and send the display information to the application software, so that the application software forwards the display information to the widget.

[0061] S120, sequentially acquiring target images to be displayed from the spliced ​​graph according to the index position sequence; wherein the display time sequence sequentially includes display time information of the target images to be displayed.

[0062] In the disclosed embodiment, after obtaining the display information, the widget of the application can traverse the index position sequence, and determine the regional position of the image to be displayed corresponding to the traversed index position information in the mosaic according to the traversed index position information, the preset length and width dimensions, and the mosaic method. Then, the corresponding image to be displayed, that is, the target image to be displayed, can be obtained from the mosaic according to the regional position. Since the index position sequence has a corresponding relationship with the display time sequence, the display time information corresponding to the target image to be displayed obtained in sequence is included in the display time sequence in sequence.

[0063] In some optional implementations, obtaining the target image to be displayed in sequence from the mosaic image according to the index position sequence may include: obtaining index position information in sequence from the index position sequence, and determining a cutting range of the mosaic image according to the index position information; and cutting the mosaic image according to the cutting range to obtain the target image to be displayed.

[0064] The index position information obtained in sequence can be considered as the traversed index position information. The process of determining the cutting range according to the index position information can include: determining the regional position of the image to be displayed corresponding to the traversed index position information in the splicing map according to the traversed index position information, the preset length and width dimensions, and the splicing method. The regional position can be considered as the cutting range.

[0065] In these optional implementations, the mosaic image can be cut according to the cutting range to obtain the target display image. Since the view window of the widget is usually small, it has a low requirement for the resolution of the image. By cutting the mosaic image, the target image to be displayed can be quickly obtained for display, which can greatly improve the image display efficiency.

[0066] In addition, in other implementations, the displacement of the mosaic in the view window can be determined based on the regional position of the image to be displayed in the mosaic corresponding to the index position information, so that the part presented in the view window is the target image to be displayed, thereby realizing a multi-image carousel based on the same mosaic without cutting or loading.

[0067] S130: Display the corresponding target image to be displayed in the view window of the widget according to the display time information.

[0068] In this embodiment, there is no strict time sequence relationship between step S120 and step S130.

[0069] For example, first, the index position information traversed in the index position sequence can be used; then, while obtaining the target image to be displayed from the spliced ​​graph according to the index position information, the display time information in the same order as the traversed index position information can be obtained from the display time sequence; finally, according to the display time information, the target image to be displayed is displayed in the view window for a corresponding length of time.

[0070] For another example, the display time information can be first obtained in sequence from the display time sequence; then, according to the display time information, the index position information can be periodically traversed from the index position sequence; finally, the target image to be displayed can be determined according to the index position information and displayed in the view window. This method can also realize the display of the target image to be displayed for a corresponding time according to the display time information.

[0071] For example, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a view window in a method for displaying an image in a widget provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 , 300 may represent a device screen, 301 may represent a view window of a widget, and 302 may represent a segmented progress control. Among them, the progress control corresponding to the target image to be displayed currently displayed in the segmented progress control can be displayed separately from the progress controls corresponding to other images to be displayed. Figure 3 As shown, the progress control corresponding to the target image to be displayed can be longer than the progress controls corresponding to other images to be displayed. The index position sequence can include multiple rounds of index position information arranged in sequence, so that after a round of images to be displayed is displayed in sequence, the first image to be displayed can be jumped back to the first image to be displayed for the next round of display. Accordingly, after the last progress control of the multi-segment progress control is displayed in a differentiated manner, the first progress control can be displayed in a differentiated manner.

[0072] In the related art, due to the limitation of device performance, the number of images requested each time is limited. Therefore, in the case of a large number of image carousels, a long time span is required to send multiple image requests to the server to obtain all the carousel images. However, the long time span is easily affected by various factors (such as network factors, application software running factors, etc.), resulting in a low success rate of image requests and a long time for image loading. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by requesting a mosaic image, it is beneficial to obtain a large number of images to be displayed in one request, which can improve the success rate and request efficiency of image requests, and is conducive to realizing smooth and efficient carousel display of images.

[0073] In the related art, images are usually rotated at equal intervals (e.g., 10 minutes), and the display effect is relatively simple. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the rotation order, rotation number, and rotation speed of the images to be displayed in the spliced ​​image can be flexibly controlled according to the index position sequence and the display time sequence, which can improve the image display effect.

[0074] In addition, in the disclosed embodiment, the application may also request new display information from the server in response to completing the carousel of images to be displayed in the view window of the widget according to the index position sequence and the display time sequence, and perform a multi-image carousel according to the new display information.

[0075] In some optional implementations, the method for displaying an image in a widget may further include at least one of the following: in response to the view window receiving an access instruction, accessing a functional interface corresponding to the image to be displayed; wherein, when the access instruction is received, the target image to be displayed displayed by the view window is located at the first position of the functional interface; in response to the view interface receiving a switching instruction, switching the target image to be displayed displayed by the view window.

[0076] The view window may include a view written based on an existing programming language according to business requirements, such as a list view, etc. In the process of writing the view window, multiple interaction modes may be defined.

[0077] For example, when a click operation is received in the first area (such as the middle area) of the view window, an access instruction may be triggered; accordingly, the widget of the application software may respond to the access instruction, start the application software and access the function page corresponding to the image to be displayed. Among them, the widget may pass the image identifier of the target image to be displayed displayed in the view window when receiving the access instruction to the application software; the application software may forcibly insert the corresponding target image to be displayed into the first position of the function interface according to the image identifier to improve the user experience.

[0078] For example, when a click operation is received in the second area of ​​the view window (such as the two side areas), a switching instruction can be triggered; accordingly, the widget of the application software can respond to the switching instruction, obtain the previous / next target image to be displayed, and display the view window according to its corresponding display time information.

[0079] In these optional implementations, the widget can respond to the access instruction and / or the switching instruction to perform corresponding interactive actions to improve the user interaction experience. In addition, other interactive modes of the view window can also be included here, and are not exhaustive again.

[0080] In some optional implementations, the display information also includes the request time; the method for displaying an image in a widget may also include: when the request time is met and the network condition meets the preset conditions, requesting new display information from the server; when the request time is met and the network condition does not meet the preset conditions, continuing to display the image in the view window according to the display information.

[0081] In the related art, the next round of images to be displayed is usually requested at equal intervals (for example, 12 hours), which may result in failure to access the latest images in a timely manner, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0082] In these optional implementations of the present disclosure, the server can predict the request time according to the business traffic trend of the business corresponding to the image to be displayed. For example, the request time can be determined according to the peak period of business traffic. Accordingly, the widget can request new display information from the server through the application software when the request time is met and the network condition of the device to which it belongs meets the preset conditions (such as preset network speed and other conditions), which is conducive to the timely access to the latest images. In addition, if the request time is met, but the network condition of the device to which it belongs does not meet the preset conditions, the image carousel can continue to be displayed according to the current display information until the network condition meets the preset conditions, and then new display information is requested again to ensure that the widget performs normal image carousel.

[0083] In the technical solution of the disclosed embodiment, a request for display information can be made to the server; wherein the display information includes: a mosaic, an index position sequence and a display time sequence; the mosaic is composed of images to be displayed; according to the index position sequence, the target images to be displayed are sequentially obtained from the mosaic; wherein the display time sequence sequentially includes the display time information of the target images to be displayed; according to the display time information, the corresponding target images to be displayed are displayed in the view window of the widget. By requesting the mosaic, it is beneficial to request multiple images to be displayed at one time, which can improve the success rate and request efficiency of image requests, and can realize smooth and efficient carousel display of images. On this basis, by requesting the index position sequence and the display time sequence, it is possible to flexibly control the carousel order, number of carousels and carousel speed of the images to be displayed in the mosaic, which can improve the image display effect.

[0084] The various optional schemes in the method of displaying images in the widget provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the above embodiments can be combined. The method of displaying images in the widget provided in this embodiment describes in detail the image display process when the display time information is the display moment. By simulating the preset clock based on the clock component of the operating system, when the preset clock runs to each display moment, the target image to be displayed can be obtained and displayed according to the corresponding index position information, thereby realizing a multi-image carousel driven by the timeline composed of the display moments.

[0085] Figure 4 The following is a flow chart of a method for displaying an image in a widget provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, the method for displaying an image in a widget provided by this embodiment, when the display time information includes the display time, may include:

[0086] S410, requesting display information from the server; wherein the display information includes: a mosaic image, an index position sequence and a display time sequence; the mosaic image is formed by mosaicking the images to be displayed.

[0087] S420: Obtain a preset clock constructed based on a clock component of the operating system to which it belongs, and configure and start the preset clock according to the first moment from the request to the presentation of information.

[0088] In this embodiment, the operating system to which the application belongs may refer to the operating system of the device to which the application belongs. Among them, the widget of the application can pre-build a preset clock based on the clock component of the operating system. Among them, the preset clock is different from the clock component of the operating system, which is a simulated clock. Compared with the clock component, the time unit of the preset clock can be larger (for example, it can be 1s), and the preset clock can perform operations such as time pause, that is, its time can be different from the world standard time.

[0089] In response to receiving the display information request, the widget of the application program may set the preset clock to the first moment when the display information request is received, and start running the preset clock.

[0090] S430, sequentially obtain display moments from the display time sequence, and when the preset clock runs to the display moment, obtain the target image to be displayed from the spliced ​​image according to the index position information corresponding to the display moment in the index position sequence, and display the target image to be displayed in the view window.

[0091] In this embodiment, the display time information includes the display time, wherein the display time may be composed of hours, minutes and seconds, for example. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a timeline of display moments of a method for displaying an image in a widget provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 The display time sequence shown may include 500 display moments from 10:00:01 to 10:19:58, and the 500 display moments may constitute a display timeline of the image to be displayed.

[0092] For example, Table 1 shows the corresponding relationship between the display time in the display time sequence and the index position information in the index position sequence. It can be considered that the timeline composed of the display time in Table 1 is Figure 5 The timeline shown is the same.

[0093] Table 1

[0094] Showtime 10：00:01 10：00:05 10：00:15 ... 10:19:50 10:19:58 Index location information 1 2 3 ... 2 3

[0095] As can be seen from Table 1, the length of the display time sequence and the index position sequence are the same and have a corresponding relationship. The index position sequence may contain the same index position information, so that multiple displays of the same image to be displayed can be achieved.

[0096] by Figure 5Taking the timeline shown as an example, the display process of the target image to be displayed may include: the application widget requests the display information at 10:00:00, sets the preset clock to 10:00:00 and starts running. Then, 500 display moments can be obtained from the display time sequence, and the preset clock configuration can be configured to respond to the display moments. Correspondingly, every time the preset clock runs to one of the display moments, the application widget can obtain the index position information corresponding to the display moment according to the corresponding relationship shown in Table 1 ( Figure 5 The target image to be displayed is obtained from the mosaic image according to the index position information, and the target image to be displayed is displayed in the view window, so that a multi-image carousel driven by the timeline composed of the display moments can be realized.

[0097] In some optional implementations, the method may further include: in response to the view window switching to an invisible state, pausing a preset clock; or, in response to the view window switching to an invisible state, stopping acquiring the target image to be displayed when the preset clock runs to the display time.

[0098] The invisible state can be understood as a state where the widget cannot be displayed on the device screen, such as a locked screen state, a state where the corresponding application software or other software is opened in the foreground, etc. Correspondingly, the visible state is a state where the widget is displayed on the device screen.

[0099] Among them, when the view window is invisible, the widget of the application can suspend the running of the preset clock, and the time of the preset clock is different from the actual time. Correspondingly, when the view window is switched to a visible state, the widget of the application can start running the preset clock, and restart the multi-image carousel according to the time of the preset clock and the display time. In this case, if the display information includes the request time, the time when the carousel of the images to be displayed is completed according to the index position sequence and the display time sequence, is usually later than the request time. At this time, the widget of the application can respond to the completion of the carousel of the images to be displayed, request new display information from the server through the corresponding application software, and reconfigure the preset clock according to the new display information to drive the multi-image carousel based on the new timeline.

[0100] In addition, when the view window is invisible, the preset clock can continue to run, and the time of the preset clock remains the same as the actual time. However, in this case, if the preset clock runs to the display time, the acquisition of the target image to be displayed can be stopped. When the view window is switched to a visible state, the target image to be displayed can be acquired according to the index position information corresponding to the previous display time, and displayed in the view window. In this case, the moment when the carousel of the images to be displayed is completed according to the index position sequence and the display time sequence can be the same as the request moment, and the widget of the application can request new display information from the server through the corresponding application software in response to the request moment being met. For example, see again Figure 5 The request time may be 10:20:00, and the application widget may request new display information from the server through the corresponding application software in response to satisfying the request time.

[0101] In these optional implementations, two strategies are provided: pausing a preset clock or pausing acquisition of a target image to be displayed when the widget is invisible, which can achieve flexible changes in image display and improve the robustness of image display.

[0102] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure describes in detail the image display process when the display time information is the display moment. By simulating the preset clock based on the clock component of the operating system, when the preset clock runs to each display moment, the target image to be displayed can be obtained and displayed according to the corresponding index position information, thereby realizing a multi-image carousel driven by the timeline composed of the display moments. The method for displaying images in the widget provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure and the method for displaying images in the widget provided by the above-mentioned embodiment belong to the same public concept. The technical details not described in detail in this embodiment can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the same technical features have the same beneficial effects in this embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0103] The various optional schemes in the method of displaying images in a widget provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the above embodiments can be combined. The method of displaying images in a widget provided in the present embodiment provides a detailed description of the image display process when the display time information is the display duration. By simulating a preset timer based on a clock component of an operating system, when the current target image to be displayed is obtained according to an index position sequence, the preset timer can be configured and started according to the corresponding display duration. Moreover, the current target image to be displayed can be displayed during the countdown of the preset timer, and the next target image to be displayed can be obtained when the timer countdown ends, thereby realizing a multi-image carousel driven by a countdown.

[0104] Figure 6 The following is a flow chart of a method for displaying an image in a widget provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6As shown, the method for displaying an image in a widget provided by this embodiment, when the display time information includes the display duration, may include:

[0105] S610, requesting display information from the server; wherein the display information includes: a mosaic image, an index position sequence and a display time sequence; the mosaic image is formed by stitching together the images to be displayed.

[0106] S620: Obtain a preset timer constructed based on a clock component of the operating system.

[0107] In this embodiment, the widget of the application program may construct a preset timer based on the clock component of the operating system in advance, and the preset timer may have a countdown response function.

[0108] S630: Obtain target images to be displayed in sequence from the spliced ​​graph according to the index position sequence.

[0109] In this embodiment, the widget of the application program may sequentially obtain the index position information in the index position sequence in response to the request for display information, and may obtain the target image to be displayed from the spliced ​​image according to the index position information.

[0110] S640: In response to acquiring a target image to be displayed according to the index position sequence, configuring and starting a preset timer according to a corresponding display duration.

[0111] Exemplarily, Table 2 shows the correspondence between the display duration in the display time sequence and the index position information in the index position sequence.

[0112] Table 2

[0113] Display duration (seconds) 4 10 5 ... 8 2 Index location information 1 2 3 ... 2 3

[0114] As can be seen from Table 2, the length of the display time sequence and the index position sequence are the same and have a corresponding relationship. The index position sequence may contain the same index position information, and the corresponding display time may gradually decrease as the number of occurrences of the same index position information increases.

[0115] In this embodiment, in response to each acquisition of the target image to be displayed, the application's widget can obtain the display duration of the same order from the display time sequence according to the corresponding relationship shown in Table 2 and the order of the index position information in the index position sequence, and configure and start the preset timer according to the display duration, so that the preset timer counts down according to the display duration. According to Tables 1 and 2, the carousel order, carousel number and carousel speed of the carousel images to be displayed based on the corresponding relationship shown in Table 1 are the same as the carousel order, carousel number and carousel speed of the carousel images to be displayed based on the corresponding relationship shown in Table 2.

[0116] S650: In response to the preset timer starting, display the target display image in the view window.

[0117] S660: In response to the preset timer being executed to the end, obtaining the next target image to be displayed according to the index position sequence.

[0118] In this embodiment, the widget of the application can display the current target image to be displayed during the countdown of the preset timer, and can obtain the next target image to be displayed when the timer countdown ends, thereby realizing a multi-image carousel driven by countdown.

[0119] In some optional implementations, the method for displaying an image in a widget may further include: pausing a preset timer in response to the view window switching to an invisible state; or, stopping acquiring the next target image to be displayed in response to the view window switching to an invisible state and the preset timer terminating.

[0120] Among them, when the view window is invisible, the widget of the application can pause the preset timer to pause the countdown. Correspondingly, when the view window is switched to a visible state, the widget of the application can start running the preset timer, and can continue to display the target image to be displayed when it was last visible according to the remaining countdown of the preset timer. In this case, if the display information includes the request time, the time when the carousel of the images to be displayed is completed according to the index position sequence and the display time sequence is usually later than the request time. At this time, the widget of the application can respond to the completion of the carousel of the images to be displayed and request new display information from the server through the corresponding application software.

[0121] In addition, when the view window is invisible, the preset timer can continue to run until the countdown ends. However, in this case, the widget can stop acquiring the next target image to be displayed when the preset timer ends, and can acquire and display the next target image to be displayed when the view window switches to a visible state. In this case, if the display information includes the request time, the time when the carousel of the images to be displayed is completed according to the index position sequence and the display time sequence is usually later than the request time. At this time, the widget of the application can request new display information from the server through the corresponding application software in response to the completion of the carousel of the images to be displayed.

[0122] Among these optional implementations, two strategies are provided: pausing a preset timer or pausing acquisition of a target image to be displayed when the widget is invisible, which can achieve flexible changes in image display and improve the robustness of image display.

[0123] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure describes in detail the image display process when the display time information is the display duration. By simulating the preset timer based on the clock component of the operating system, when the current target image to be displayed is obtained according to the index position sequence, the preset timer can be configured and started according to the corresponding display duration. In addition, the current target image to be displayed can be displayed during the countdown of the preset timer, and the next target image to be displayed can be obtained when the timer countdown ends, thereby realizing a multi-image carousel driven by countdown. The method for displaying images in the widget provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure and the method for displaying images in the widget provided by the above-mentioned embodiment belong to the same public concept. The technical details not fully described in this embodiment can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the same technical features have the same beneficial effects in this embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0124] Figure 7 A flowchart of a method for displaying an image in a widget provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to a situation where a server sends display information to enable a widget of an application to display an image. The method can be executed by a device for displaying an image in a widget, which can be implemented in the form of software and / or hardware, and can be configured in an electronic device, such as a server.

[0125] like Figure 7 As shown, the method for displaying an image in a widget provided in this embodiment may include:

[0126] S710: Receive a display information request sent by application software.

[0127] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a request for display information may include a widget of an application software, and a request sent through the application software. The widget may start the application software in the background without the user's awareness in response to a preset trigger, and send a display information request to the server through the application software to request display information. Among them, the requested display information may be set according to a specific business scenario. Exemplarily, in the case where the widget displays related images of multimedia content posted by a communication user, related images of multimedia content posted by the communication user within a preset time range (for example, within 3 days) may be requested, and / or related images of unread multimedia content in the multimedia content posted by the communication user may be requested.

[0128] S720: Acquire images to be displayed according to the display information request, and splice the images to be displayed to obtain a spliced ​​image.

[0129] In the disclosed embodiment, the server may obtain several related images corresponding to the display information request as images to be displayed, and splice the several images to be displayed into a spliced ​​image. For example, the several images to be displayed may be spliced ​​in a horizontal, vertical or grid splicing manner to obtain a spliced ​​image.

[0130] S730: Determine an index position sequence according to index position information of the image to be displayed in the stitched image.

[0131] In the disclosed embodiment, the regional position of the image to be displayed in the mosaic can be represented by index position information. The server can determine the index position sequence based on the preset display strategy of the image to be displayed and the index position information of the image to be displayed in the mosaic.

[0132] For example, based on a random display strategy, an index position sequence may be randomly generated according to the index position information of the image to be displayed. Each index position information may appear at least once in the index position sequence, that is, the index position sequence may contain the same index position information. For another example, based on a reverse display strategy, the corresponding index position information may be sequentially organized into an index position sequence according to the reverse order of the release time of the image to be displayed. The index position sequence may also contain multiple rounds of index position information arranged in sequence to achieve multiple rounds of display of the image to be displayed.

[0133] S740: Determine a display time sequence according to the to-be-displayed images corresponding to the index position information in the index position sequence.

[0134] In this embodiment, after determining the index position sequence, the server can traverse the index position sequence and determine the display time information corresponding to the traversed index position information according to the factors of the preset dimensions of the to-be-displayed image corresponding to the traversed index position information. Furthermore, the server can determine the display time sequence according to the display time information determined in sequence.

[0135] In some optional implementations, determining a display time sequence based on images to be displayed corresponding to index position information in an index position sequence may include: determining a first display duration of an image to be displayed based on the amount of content information of the image to be displayed; traversing the index position sequence, and determining display time information corresponding to the traversed index position information based on the first display duration of the image to be displayed corresponding to the traversed index position information and the number of occurrences of the traversed index position information in historical traversals; and determining a display time sequence based on the display time information determined in sequence.

[0136] The process of determining the first display duration may include: the server may identify the content information amount of the image to be displayed through a pre-built image processing model, and determine the first display duration of the image to be displayed according to the content information amount. The content information amount is positively correlated with the first display duration, that is, the more content information there is in the image to be displayed, the longer its first display duration is.

[0137] Among them, the display time information can be used to characterize the display duration of the image to be displayed, and the process of determining the display time information can include: according to the number of occurrences of the traversed index position information in the historical traversal, attenuating the first display duration of the image to be displayed corresponding to the traversed index position information; according to the attenuated first display duration, determining the display time information of the image to be displayed corresponding to the traversed index position information, that is, the display time information corresponding to the traversed index position information. Among them, the number of occurrences and the attenuation of the attenuation can be positively correlated, that is, the more the number of occurrences of the traversed index position information in the historical traversal, the greater the degree of attenuation of the corresponding first display duration. And, when the number of occurrences is 0, the display time information can be determined according to the first display duration.

[0138] It is understandable that as the number of times the index position information appears in the traversal increases, the number of times the widget presents the corresponding image to be displayed increases, and the user obtains relatively more comprehensive content information of the image to be displayed. The same image to be displayed can be displayed in the view window with a correspondingly reduced display time as the number of times it is presented increases, so as to flexibly control the rotation speed of the image to be displayed and improve the image display effect.

[0139] In these optional implementations, the display time information of the image to be displayed can be set according to the content information volume and the number of consumption times of the image, which is conducive to improving the image display effect and can enhance the user's experience of watching the carousel images.

[0140] S750 , generating display information according to the splicing graph, the index position sequence and the display time sequence, and sending the display information to the application software, so that the application software displays the image in the view window of the widget according to the display information.

[0141] In this embodiment, the server can generate display information according to the mosaic, index position sequence and display time sequence, and send the display information to the application software, so that the application software forwards the display information to the widget. Correspondingly, after obtaining the display information, the widget of the application can sequentially obtain the target image to be displayed from the mosaic according to the index position sequence; and can display the corresponding target image to be displayed in the view window according to the display time information.

[0142] In some optional implementations, the display information request carries performance information of the device to which the application software belongs; the method also includes: determining the request time based on the performance information and the business traffic trend information corresponding to the display information request; wherein the display information is also generated based on the request time; the request time is used to trigger the sending of a new display information request.

[0143] The device to which the application software belongs can be considered to be the same as the device to which the widget disclosed above belongs. The performance information of the device to which the application software belongs can include at least one of the following: performance information of hardware such as the central processing unit, image processing unit, memory, battery, etc.; performance information of the operating environment related to remaining memory, device temperature, device power, freeze conditions, and operating power consumption; performance information of the network environment related to network speed and / or network throughput.

[0144] The business traffic can be understood as the data transmission volume of the business. The process of determining the business traffic trend can include: the server obtains the business traffic within a preset time range based on the historical business traffic prediction model through a pre-built data prediction model.

[0145] The display information request may carry the performance information of the device to which the application software belongs. Accordingly, the server may parse the display information request to obtain the performance information; it may also determine the request time for receiving the display information request next time based on the performance information and the business traffic trend information corresponding to the display information request. The server may determine the request time based on the performance information and the business traffic trend information through a pre-built data processing model. The better the device performance represented by the performance information, the more frequently the display information can be requested; the more frequently the business traffic trend is at the peak of the business traffic, the more frequently the display information can be requested.

[0146] In these optional implementations, the server determines the request time based on performance information and business traffic trend information, which helps the widget to access the latest display information in a timely manner within the range supported by the device performance, thereby improving the user experience.

[0147] In the technical solution of the disclosed embodiment, a display information request sent by an application software can be received; wherein the display information request includes a widget of the application software, and a request sent by the application software; the image to be displayed is obtained according to the display information request, and the image to be displayed is spliced ​​to obtain a spliced ​​image; the index position sequence is determined according to the index position information of the image to be displayed in the spliced ​​image; the display time sequence is determined according to the image to be displayed corresponding to the index position information in the index position sequence; the display information is generated according to the spliced ​​image, the index position sequence and the display time sequence, and the display information is sent to the application software, so that the application displays the image in the view window of the widget according to the display information. By determining and returning the spliced ​​image, the index position sequence and the display time sequence by the server, not only can the widget realize smooth and efficient image carousel display, but also the widget can realize the carousel display with flexible control of the carousel order, the number of carousels and the carousel speed of the images to be displayed in the spliced ​​image, which can improve the image display effect.

[0148] In addition, the method for displaying an image in a widget provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure and the method for displaying an image in a widget provided in the above embodiment belong to the same public concept, and the technical details not fully described in this embodiment can be referred to the above embodiment, and the same technical features have the same beneficial effects in this embodiment and the above embodiment.
