[0037] Figure 1 System 100 can be configured and operated in various ways to enable the application of the various methods and apparatuses described according to the present disclosure.

[0038] In current information display software, usually the entire information sequence is displayed to the user in a page container. When the length of the information sequence exceeds the height of the display area in the display screen panel, the user can scroll the page container to view the content in the information sequence. When it is necessary to switch to display a new page container, the user can be made to manually click on a component for switching the page container (such as a link or button that triggers the display of a new page container) to perform the switching, and the convenience of page display and switching is poor.

[0039] Based on this, the present disclosure provides an information display method. When the information sequence to be displayed corresponding to a page container is relatively long, a target subsequence with a limited number of information is selected from the information sequence for default display, and the height of the page container is adjusted by adjusting the amount of information displayed by default in the page container, so that the information display area is the minimum value that can cover the display area in the display screen, that is, the actual display area of the first page container is as close as possible to the area of the display screen. Without affecting the user's viewing of the full-screen page container, the height of the page container is reduced, facilitating the user to scroll the current page container or switch to display a new page container by performing the same content scrolling operation, and improving the convenience of page container switching.

[0040] Figure 2 Shows a flowchart of an information display method 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 2 shown, the method 200 includes:

[0041] Step S201: Determine the target display area for the display area of the first page container;

[0042] Step S202: Determine the first information sequence corresponding to the first page container;

[0043] Step S203: Determine the target subsequence from the first information sequence, where the number of target information included in the target subsequence is the minimum number that can meet the target condition, and the target condition includes that the sum of the display areas of one or more target information included in the target subsequence is not less than the target display area;

[0044] Step S204: Display the target subsequence in the first page container;

[0045] Step S205: In response to receiving an instruction to switch the display content of the first page container and the target subsequence has not scrolled to the bottom, scroll the first page container; and

[0046] Step S206: In response to receiving an instruction to switch the display content of the first page container and the target subsequence has scrolled to the bottom, switch to display the second page container.

[0047] By applying the above method 200, when the information sequence to be displayed corresponding to the page container is relatively long, a target subsequence with a limited number of information can be selected from the information sequence for default display, and the height of the page container can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of information displayed by default in the page container, so that the information display area corresponding to the first page container (i.e., the sum of the display areas of all target information included in the target subsequence) is the minimum value that can fill the display area on the display screen, that is, to make the actual display area of the first page container as close as possible to the area of the display screen, reduce the height of the page container without affecting the user's viewing of the full-screen page container, and facilitate the user to scroll the display content of the current page container or switch to display a new page container by performing the same operation of switching the display content, improving the convenience of page container switching.

[0048] In an actual application scenario, the area of the display screen panel for displaying the page container is limited, that is, it corresponds to a limited display area. Based on the display area of the display screen panel, the target display area in step S201 can be determined. In one example, the target display area for the display area of the first page container can correspond to the area of the information display area (less than or equal to the area of the display screen panel) for the information sequence applied to display the page container. For example, since the user interface may also involve display components such as a system status bar and a toolbar, the target display area should be the difference between the area of the display screen panel and the display areas of other display components.

[0049] In some examples, the content to be displayed to the user includes multiple page containers, and each page container corresponds to an information sequence to be displayed. In this case, if all the information sequences corresponding to each page container are rendered and displayed in each page container, the information display area corresponding to each page container is relatively large. When the target display area is limited, the page container may need to scroll multiple times on the display screen panel to be completely displayed. That is to say, when the user needs to scroll the current page container or switch to display a new page container by the same operation of switching the displayed content, multiple operations of switching the displayed content (for example, a long-distance touch and slide gesture needs to be performed on the touch screen) need to be executed so that the current page container can scroll to the bottom on the display screen panel, and then the switching display of the new page container can be triggered. The switching operation is relatively cumbersome, which is not conducive to the flexible display and switching of the page.

[0050] By applying the above steps S201 - S204, the height of the page container can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of information that is defaultly displayed in the page container, so that the information display area of the page container is the minimum value that can fill the display area on the display screen, that is, the actual display area of the page container is made as close as possible to the area of the display screen. Without affecting the user's view of the full-screen page container, the height of the page container is reduced so that the user can more conveniently trigger the switching display of the new page container, improving the convenience of page switching.

[0051] In some examples, the instruction for instructing the first page container to switch the displayed content can include a scrolling instruction for the page container, or it can also be an instruction for instructing the first page container to continue displaying the information that has not been displayed. In one example, method 200 is applied to a terminal including a display screen panel. The user can send an instruction for instructing the first page container to switch the displayed content through a touch and slide operation on the display screen panel, or can also input an instruction for instructing the first page container to switch the displayed content through a control device communicatively connected to the terminal. As long as it can be determined based on the user instruction that the displayed content of the first page container needs to be updated, the present disclosure does not limit the type and content of the instruction for the first page container.

[0052] According to some embodiments, the target subsequence includes the leading information of the first information sequence. Thus, the target subsequence for default display can be selected from the head of the first information sequence. In practical application scenarios, when the information in the first information sequence may be arranged in a certain order, by applying the above means, more valuable information can be selected from the head of the first information sequence for default display to ensure the information accuracy of the target subsequence.

[0053] In some examples, each piece of information in the first information sequence can be regarded as an information card component in the first page container. In this case, display attributes can be configured for each information card component to control the content default displayed in the first page container. As long as the display of each piece of information in the first information sequence in the first page container can be dynamically controlled, the present disclosure does not limit the way of configuring the attributes of each piece of information during the page rendering process.

[0054] According to some embodiments, determining the target subsequence from the first information sequence in step S203 includes: determining a candidate subsequence including a first quantity of candidate information from the first information sequence, where the candidate subsequence includes the leading information of the first information sequence, and the first quantity is determined based on a preset threshold of the target display area and the display area of a single piece of information; in response to determining that the candidate subsequence exceeds the initial visible area of the first page container, deleting one or more candidate information in the candidate subsequence that are not in the initial visible area, where the initial visible area is determined based on the target display area; and determining the target subsequence based on the candidate subsequence after the deletion operation. Thus, the first quantity can be determined based on the preset threshold of the target display area and the display area of a single piece of information, and then the candidate subsequence including the first quantity of candidate information can be determined. Based on the candidate subsequence, dynamic adjustment is performed to delete the information that exceeds the screen display area, without the need to traverse and calculate the entire first information sequence, improving the display efficiency.

[0055] In some examples, the preset threshold of the display area of a single piece of information can be the area threshold set for a single information card during the page rendering process. In some examples, the preset threshold of the display area of a single piece of information can also be a statistical value obtained based on the display areas of multiple historical pieces of information (for example, it can be an average value or a median value). By calculating based on the preset threshold of the target display area and the display area of a single piece of information, a candidate subsequence that may be close to the target subsequence can be determined simply and quickly, and the target subsequence can be determined more efficiently based on the candidate subsequence to improve the display efficiency.

[0056] According to some embodiments, the deleting of one or more candidate information that are not in the initial visible area in the candidate subsequence in response to determining that the candidate subsequence exceeds the initial visible area of the first page container includes: in response to determining that the candidate subsequence exceeds the initial visible area of the first page container, performing a deletion operation iteratively on the last bit information of the candidate subsequence until the current last bit information of the candidate subsequence is in the initial visible area or it is determined that the first page container has been scrolled to the display position of the current last bit information. Thereby, it is possible to perform iterative deletion in reverse order from the end of the candidate subsequence to more efficiently determine the target subsequence.

[0057] According to some embodiments, method 200 further includes: in response to determining that the sum of the display areas of the candidate subsequence is less than the target display area, adding the information in the first information sequence that is after the candidate subsequence to the end of the candidate subsequence. Thereby, it is possible to continue to supplement subsequent information when the candidate subsequence is not sufficient to fill the screen display area, and avoid too little display content in the page container by dynamically supplementing information, ensuring that the default display content of the page container can cover the display area of the display screen panel and ensuring the display effect and user experience.

[0058] In some examples, the above step of supplementing new information in the candidate subsequence can be iteratively executed until the current candidate subsequence can fill the screen display area. For example, when the last bit information of the candidate subsequence is partially in the initial visible area and partially exceeds the initial visible area, it means that the number of information included in the current candidate subsequence is the minimum number that can meet the target condition, and thus the current candidate subsequence can be directly determined as the target subsequence.

[0059] According to some embodiments, method 200 further includes: displaying a content expansion control at the bottom of the first page container; and in response to receiving an instruction to control the content expansion control, displaying the other information in the first information sequence except the target subsequence in the first page container. Thereby, it is possible to display a content expansion control when a single page container scrolls to the bottom, facilitating the user to continue browsing the remaining information sequence by operating the content expansion control and ensuring the user's browsing experience.

[0060] According to some embodiments, the first page container is triggered by a search request including a first search text. The first information sequence includes a plurality of search result entries corresponding to the first search text, and the second page container is used to display a plurality of search result entries corresponding to a recommended search text. Thus, when the user browses the search result page corresponding to the first search text (i.e., the first page container) by scrolling the page, the display height of the first page container can be adjusted by applying the above method 200, enabling the user to more conveniently trigger the display of the recommended content (the second page container corresponding to the recommended search text), realizing the lightweight activation of the recommended content and enhancing the click-through rate of the recommended content.

[0061] In some examples, the user can actively search on a web platform or a search software platform, and then trigger the display of the search result page by sending the first search text to the search engine. The first page container for displaying the search result entries can be implemented in a web page or in the display interface of the search software. In this case, the search engine can recall a plurality of search result entries (i.e., the first information sequence corresponding to the first page container) based on the first search text sent by the user, and then display the target subsequence that meets the target conditions in the first page container, enabling the user to switch the search result page (page container) based on a convenient page sliding operation.

[0062] According to some embodiments, method 200 further includes: displaying the recommended search text in the first page container; and in response to determining that the recommended search text has been displayed, rendering the second page container based on a plurality of search result entries corresponding to the recommended search text. Thus, the recommended content can be intuitively presented to the user in the first page container, enabling the user to intuitively view the recommended search text, and pre-rendering the second page container after the recommended search text is displayed, so as to enable more efficient and convenient switching display.

[0063] Figure 3A and Figure 3B shows a schematic diagram of an information display page according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3A The solid line box in the upper part shows the first page container including a search box 310, an information display area (including information 321, information 322, and information 323), and a recommended search text display area 330. In this example, the number of information included in the information display area can be determined based on the above method 200 to obtain the first page container that can approximate the display area height of the display screen panel. In this example, Figure 3AThe solid box at the bottom shows a second page container including a search box 340, an information display area (including information 351, information 352, and information 353), and a recommended search text display area 360. As described above, the second page container can be pre-rendered based on the recommended search text already displayed in the first page container. When the user performs a scrolling operation in the first page container, the switching of the page container can be triggered when the first page container scrolls to the bottom, so as to obtain the display interface of the second page container as Figure 3B shown.

[0064] In some examples, each page container may further include display components such as a top status bar and a bottom menu bar. When the user triggers the switch to display a new page container, the container switching animation can be invoked in the current page container, and the page rendering and audio / video playback processes of the current page container can be paused. At the same time, the component rendering and audio / video playback processes of the new page container are started. Since the user may perform a reciprocating sliding gesture in the front-end interface to abort the page container switching process, the page container switching process may fail. However, to improve the page container switching efficiency, the new page container can be pre-rendered so as to more efficiently switch and display the new page container when the user invokes the page container switching process again.

[0065] According to some embodiments, it further includes: in response to receiving an instruction indicating the switching of the display content of the first page container and the target subsequence has scrolled to the bottom, updating the value of the page switching identifier to a first value indicating that the page container is switching, where, in step S205, in response to receiving an instruction indicating the switching of the display content of the first page container and the target subsequence has not scrolled to the bottom, scrolling the first page container includes: in response to receiving an instruction indicating the switching of the display content of the first page container and the value of the page switching identifier is not the first value, scrolling the first page container. Thus, information can be transmitted between the page scrolling response mechanism and the page switching response mechanism by using the page switching identifier, avoiding conflicts in gesture responses.

[0066] As described above, by applying the method 200 provided by the present disclosure, the user can implement the scrolling and switching operations of the page container based on the same interaction operation (sending the same instruction indicating the switching of the display content of the first page container). In this case, it is necessary to accurately identify and respond to the user's interaction operation. In some examples, the recognition of the user gesture and the response to the user gesture can be abstracted into different steps. The implementation processes of the page scrolling response mechanism and the page switching response mechanism will be described below based on the exemplary scenario of "the user sends an instruction indicating the switching of the display content of the page container through a touch and slide operation".

[0067] In this example, the recognition of the user's swipe gesture can be used as a common prerequisite step for both the page scrolling response mechanism and the page switching response mechanism, and the response operations of these two response mechanisms can be completed alternately. The timing of the page switching response is when the page container scrolls to the top or bottom of the information display area (in this example, the scrolling of the page container can be implemented using a WebView), and the effect of the page switching response is that the page container stops scrolling and starts the page container switching animation. The timing of the page scrolling response is when the page container has not scrolled to the top or bottom and the page container switching has not been responded to, and the effect of the page scrolling response is that the page container scrolls.

[0068] Figure 4 FIG. shows a schematic diagram of an information display process according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 4 shown, the execution of the page scrolling response mechanism and the page switching response mechanism in the information display process includes the following steps:

[0069] Step S1: Recognize the user's swipe gesture.

[0070] In response to recognizing the user's swipe gesture, the page scrolling response mechanism can be implemented based on the following steps S11 - S13:

[0071] Step S11: Scroll the current container.

[0072] Step S12: Determine whether the page switching flag is 1 (in this example, 1 corresponds to the first value described above indicating that the page container is switching. It should be understood that the initial value of the page switching flag should be 0, indicating that the page container is not switching). If the determination result is yes, step S11 can be continued to continue scrolling the current container.

[0073] If the determination result of step S12 is no, then execute step S13: Stop scrolling the current container.

[0074] In response to recognizing the user's swipe gesture, the page switching response mechanism can be implemented based on the following steps S21 - S210:

[0075] Step S21: Determine whether the page switching flag is 1.

[0076] If the determination result of step S21 is no, then execute step S26: Determine whether the current container has scrolled to the bottom.

[0077] If the determination result of step S26 is no, then execute step S210: Do not process. That is, do not start the page container switching process.

[0078] If the judgment result of step S26 is yes, then execute step S27: page switching flag = 1, that is, update the value of the page switching flag to the first value indicating that the page container is switching.

[0079] Step S28: Record the starting response displacement. This step is used to record the displacement of the user's sliding gesture when the page switching process responds.

[0080] Step S29: Start the container switching response, for example, execute the container switching animation following the user's gesture.

[0081] When the container switching process has been started, that is, the steps in the container switching response mechanism can continue to be executed based on the user's sliding gesture:

[0082] In this case, the value of the page switching flag has been updated to 1, that is, the judgment result of step S21 is yes, and step S22 needs to be continued: Determine whether the current scrolling displacement is greater than the starting response displacement. Considering that the touch and slide gesture executed by the user may correspond to a relatively long sliding displacement, covering two page response processes of "scrolling the current page container to the bottom" and "triggering the switching display of a new page container", by recording the starting response displacement, the displacement starting point when the page container switching starts to respond can be recorded, and based on this, the true value of the user's sliding displacement corresponding to the page switching response mechanism can be determined more accurately to more accurately determine the response steps in the page display process.

[0083] In some examples, there are the following possibilities for the sliding gesture executed by the user: on the basis of touching and sliding up a certain distance (that is, the page switching response has been triggered at the point of the starting response displacement described above), then execute a downward sliding action, that is, the intention is to keep the front-end display content in the initial first page container. In this case, it is necessary to judge whether to terminate the page switching response based on the true value of the user's sliding displacement after the page switching response is triggered, that is, corresponding to steps S23 - S24 below.

[0084] If the judgment result of step S22 is yes, then execute step S23: page switching flag = 0.

[0085] Step S24: Terminate the container switching response.

[0086] If the judgment result of step S22 is no, then execute step S25: Continue the container switching response.

[0087] By using the page switching flag to transfer information between the page scrolling response mechanism and the page switching response mechanism, gesture response conflicts can be avoided and the correctness of page display can be ensured.
