[0037] Figure 1 The system 100 can be configured and operated in various ways to enable the application of the various methods and apparatus described in this disclosure.

[0038] Current information display software typically displays the entire information sequence to the user within a page container. When the length of the information sequence exceeds the height of the display area on the screen panel, the user can scroll through the page container to view the content. When switching to a new page container is needed, the user can manually click on a component used to switch page containers (such as a link or button that triggers the display of a new page container). However, the convenience of page display and switching is relatively poor.

[0039] Based on this, this disclosure provides an information display method. When the information sequence to be displayed corresponding to the page container is long, a target subsequence with a limited number of information is selected from the information sequence for default display. 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 fill the display area in the display screen. Even if the actual display area of ​​the first page container is as close as possible to the area of ​​the display screen, the height of the page container is reduced without affecting the user's viewing of the full-screen page container. This makes it easier for the user to scroll the current page container or switch to display a new page container by performing the same content scrolling operation, thus improving the convenience of page container switching.

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

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

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

[0043] Step S203: Determine a target subsequence from the first information sequence, wherein the number of target information included in the target subsequence is the minimum number that can satisfy 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 sub-sequence in the first page container;

[0045] Step S205: In response to receiving an instruction instructing the first page container to switch its display content, and the target sub-sequence 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 sub-sequence has scrolled to the bottom, switch the display of the second page container.

[0047] By applying the above method 200, when the information sequence to be displayed corresponding to the page container is long, a target subsequence with a limited number of information can be selected from the information sequence for default display. 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 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 of ​​the display screen. In other words, the actual display area of ​​the first page container is made as close as possible to the area of ​​the display screen. The height of the page container is reduced without affecting the user's viewing of the full-screen page container, making it easier for the user to scroll the display content of the current page container or switch to a new page container by performing the same operation of switching display content, thus improving the convenience of page container switching.

[0048] In practical applications, the area of ​​the display screen panel used to display the page container is limited, corresponding to a finite display area. The target display area in step S201 can be determined based on the display area of ​​the display screen panel. In one example, the target display area for the display area used to display the first page container can be the area of ​​the information display area applied to the information sequence of the page container (less than or equal to the area of ​​the display screen panel). For example, since the user interface may also involve display components such as the system status bar and 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, each corresponding to a sequence of information to be displayed. In this case, if all the information sequence corresponding to each page container is 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 be scrolled multiple times on the display screen panel to be displayed completely. That is to say, when the user needs to scroll the current page container or switch to display a new page container using the same operation of switching display content, multiple operations of switching display content are required (e.g., performing a long touch swipe gesture on the touch screen) so that the current page container can scroll to the bottom of the display screen panel before the switch to display a new page container can be triggered. The switching operation is cumbersome and not conducive to the flexible display and switching of pages.

[0050] By applying steps S201-S204 above, 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 of ​​the page container is the minimum value that can fill the display area of ​​the display screen. In other words, the actual display area of ​​the page container is made as close as possible to the area of ​​the display screen. The height of the page container is reduced without affecting the user's viewing of the full-screen page container, so that the user can more easily trigger the switching display of the new page container and improve the convenience of page switching.

[0051] In some examples, the instruction instructing the first page container to switch its display content may include a scrolling instruction for the page container, or it may be an instruction instructing the first page container to continue displaying information that has not yet been displayed. In one example, method 200 is applied to a terminal including a display screen panel. The user can send an instruction instructing the first page container to switch its display content by a touch swipe operation on the display screen panel, or the user can input the instruction instructing the first page container to switch its display content through a control device communicatively connected to the terminal. As long as it is possible to determine based on the user instruction that the display content of the first page container needs to be updated, this 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 first and second information of the first information sequence. Therefore, a target subsequence can be selected for default display from the head of the first information sequence. In practical applications, when the information in the first information sequence may be arranged in a certain order, by applying the above method, more valuable information can be selected from the head of the first information sequence for default display, thus ensuring the accuracy of the information in the target subsequence.

[0053] In some examples, each piece of information in the first information sequence can be considered as an information card component in the first page container. In this case, display properties can be configured for each information card component to control the default content 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, this disclosure does not limit the method of configuring the properties 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 number of candidate information from the first information sequence, wherein the candidate subsequence includes the first and second information of the first information sequence, and the first number 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 is not in the initial visible area, wherein 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, a first number can be determined based on the target display area and a preset threshold of the display area of ​​a single piece of information, thereby determining a candidate subsequence including the first number of candidate information. Dynamic adjustments can be made based on the candidate subsequence to delete information exceeding the screen display area, eliminating the need to traverse and calculate the entire first information sequence, thus improving display efficiency.

[0055] In some examples, the preset threshold for the display area of ​​a single piece of information can be an area threshold set for a single information card during page rendering. In other examples, the preset threshold for the display area of ​​a single piece of information can also be a statistical value (e.g., an average or median value) obtained based on the display areas of multiple historical information items. By calculating based on the target display area and the preset threshold for the display area of ​​a single piece of information, candidate subsequences that may be close to the target subsequence can be easily and quickly identified. Based on these candidate subsequences, the target subsequence can be determined more efficiently, thereby improving display efficiency.

[0056] According to some embodiments, deleting one or more candidate information items in the candidate subsequence that are not located in the initial visible area in response to determining that the candidate subsequence exceeds the initial visible area of ​​the first page container includes: iteratively performing a deletion operation on the last information of the candidate subsequence in response to determining that the candidate subsequence exceeds the initial visible area of ​​the first page container, until the current last information of the candidate subsequence is located 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 information. Therefore, iterative deletion in reverse order from the end of the candidate subsequence can be performed, thus determining the target subsequence more efficiently.

[0057] According to some embodiments, method 200 further includes: in response to determining that the sum of the display areas of the candidate sub-sequences is less than the target display area, adding information in the first information sequence that is located after the candidate sub-sequence to the end of the candidate sub-sequence. This allows for the continuous supplementation of subsequent information even when the candidate sub-sequence is insufficient to fill the screen display area. By dynamically adding information, the display content of the page container is prevented from being too small, ensuring that the default display content of the page container can fill the display area of ​​the screen panel, thus guaranteeing display effect and user experience.

[0058] In some examples, the step of supplementing new information in the candidate subsequence described above can be performed iteratively until the current candidate subsequence can fill the screen display area. For example, when the last part of the candidate subsequence is within the initial visible area and partially exceeds the initial visible area, it means that the current candidate subsequence contains the minimum amount of information that can satisfy 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 other information in the first information sequence, excluding the target subsequence, in the first page container. Thus, the content expansion control can be displayed when a single page container is scrolled to the bottom, allowing the user to continue browsing the remaining information sequence by operating the content expansion control, ensuring a better 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 multiple search result entries corresponding to the first search text, and the second page container is used to display multiple search result entries corresponding to the recommended search text. Therefore, when a user scrolls through the search results page corresponding to the first search text (i.e., the first page container), the display height of the first page container can be adjusted by applying the above method 200, making it easier for the user to trigger the display of recommended content (the second page container corresponding to the recommended search text), achieving lightweight activation of recommended content and improving the click-through rate of recommended content.

[0061] In some examples, users can actively search on web platforms or search software platforms, and then trigger the display of search results pages by sending the first search text to the search engine. The first page container for displaying search results entries can be implemented in the web page or in the display interface of the search software. In this case, the search engine can recall multiple search results 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 criteria in the first page container, allowing users to switch between search results pages (page containers) through convenient page swiping operations.

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

[0063] Figure 3A and Figure 3B A schematic diagram of an information display page according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 3A The upper solid-line box shows a first page container including a search box 310, an information display area (including information 321, 322, and 323), and a recommended search text display area 330. In this example, the amount of information contained in the information display area can be determined based on the method 200 described above to obtain a first page container that is close to the height of the display area on the display screen panel. In this example, Figure 3AThe solid-line box at the bottom shows a second page container including a search box 340, an information display area (including information 351, 352, and 353), and a recommended search text display area 360. As mentioned earlier, 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 page container switching is triggered when the first page container scrolls to the bottom, thus obtaining the desired result. Figure 3B The second page container is shown in the display interface.

[0064] In some examples, each page container may further include display components such as a top status bar and a bottom menu bar. When a user triggers the switching to a new page container, the container switching animation can be invoked within the current page container, pausing the current page container's page rendering and audio / video playback, while simultaneously initiating the component rendering and audio / video playback of the new page container. Since users may perform repeated swipe gestures in the front-end interface to interrupt the page container switching process, there is a possibility of failure. However, to improve the efficiency of page container switching, the new page container can be pre-rendered to facilitate more efficient switching when the user re-initiates the page container switching process.

[0065] According to some embodiments, the method further includes: in response to receiving an instruction instructing the first page container to switch display content, and the target sub-sequence has scrolled to the bottom, updating the value of the page switching identifier to a first value indicating that the page container is switching. In step S205, responding to receiving an instruction instructing the first page container to switch display content, and the target sub-sequence has not scrolled to the bottom, scrolling the first page container includes: in response to receiving an instruction instructing the first page container to switch display content, and the value of the page switching identifier is not the first value, scrolling the first page container. Thus, the page switching identifier can be used to transmit information between the page scrolling response mechanism and the page switching response mechanism, avoiding conflicts in gesture responses.

[0066] As previously described, by applying the method 200 provided in this disclosure, users can perform scrolling and switching operations on the page container based on the same interactive operation (sending the same instruction to switch the displayed content of the first page container). In this case, accurate recognition and response to the user's interactive operation are required. In some examples, the recognition and response to the user's gesture can be abstracted into different steps. The following will illustrate the implementation process of the page scrolling response mechanism and the page switching response mechanism based on the exemplary scenario of "the user sending an instruction to switch the displayed content of the page container through a touch swipe operation".

[0067] In this example, recognizing user swipe gestures can serve as a common preliminary step for both the page scrolling response mechanism and the page switching response mechanism, and the response operations of these two mechanisms can be performed alternately. The page switching response occurs when the page container scrolls to the top or bottom of the information display area (in this example, page container scrolling can be implemented using WebView), and the effect of the page switching response is that the page container stops scrolling and starts the page container switching animation. The page scrolling response occurs when the page container has not scrolled to the top or bottom and the page container switching is not responsive, and the effect of the page scrolling response is that the page container scrolls.

[0068] Figure 4 A schematic diagram illustrating an information display process according to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Figure 4 As shown, the execution of the page scrolling response mechanism and page switching response mechanism during information display includes the following steps:

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

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

[0071] Step S11: The current container scrolls.

[0072] Step S12: Determine if 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, then step S11 can be executed to continue scrolling the current container.

[0073] If the result of step S12 is negative, then proceed to step S13: the current container stops scrolling.

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

[0075] Step S21: Determine if the page switching indicator is 1.

[0076] If the result of step S21 is negative, then proceed to step S26: determine whether the current container has scrolled to the bottom.

[0077] If the result of step S26 is negative, then step S210 is executed: no processing. That is, the page container switching process is not initiated.

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

[0079] Step S28: Record the initial response displacement. This step is used to record the amount of displacement of the user's swipe gesture when responding to a page transition.

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

[0081] If the container switching process has already started, the steps in the container switching response mechanism can continue to be executed based on the user's swipe gesture:

[0082] In this situation, the value of the page switching indicator has been updated to 1, meaning the judgment result of step S21 is yes, and step S22 needs to be executed: determine whether the current scroll displacement is greater than the initial response displacement. Considering that the user's touch swipe gesture may correspond to a relatively long swipe displacement, thus covering two page response processes: "scrolling the current page container to the bottom" and "triggering the switching display of a new page container," by recording the initial response displacement, the starting point of the displacement when the page container switching response begins can be recorded. Based on this, the true value of the user's swipe displacement corresponding to the page switching response mechanism can be determined more accurately, so as to more accurately determine the response steps in the page display process.

[0083] In some examples, the user's swipe gesture may involve the following: after swiping upwards a certain distance (i.e., triggering a page transition response at the point of the initial response displacement described above), the user then performs a downward swipe, intending to keep the front-end content displayed in the initial first page container. In this case, it is necessary to determine whether to terminate the page transition response based on the truth value of the user's swipe displacement after triggering the page transition response, corresponding to steps S23-S24 below.

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

[0085] Step S24: Terminate container switching response.

[0086] If the result of step S22 is negative, then proceed to step S25: continue with container switching response.

[0087] By using page transition markers to pass information between the page scrolling response mechanism and the page transition response mechanism, conflicts in gesture responses can be avoided, ensuring the correctness of page display.
