The following describes a software environment to which the display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied, by taking an android operating system as an example.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a possible android operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the android operating system includes 4 layers, which are respectively: an application layer, an application framework layer, a system runtime layer, and a kernel layer (specifically, a Linux kernel layer).

The application program layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third-party application programs) in an android operating system.

The application framework layer is a framework of the application, and a developer can develop some applications based on the application framework layer under the condition of complying with the development principle of the framework of the application.

The system runtime layer includes libraries (also called system libraries) and android operating system runtime environments. The library mainly provides various resources required by the android operating system. The android operating system running environment is used for providing a software environment for the android operating system.

The kernel layer is an operating system layer of an android operating system and belongs to the bottommost layer of an android operating system software layer. The kernel layer provides kernel system services and hardware-related drivers for the android operating system based on the Linux kernel.

Taking an android operating system as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the android operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the display method may operate based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. That is, the processor or the terminal may implement the display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The terminal device in the embodiment of the invention can be a mobile terminal device and can also be a non-mobile terminal device. The mobile terminal device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), etc.; the non-mobile terminal device may be a Personal Computer (PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine, a self-service machine, or the like; the embodiments of the present invention are not particularly limited.

The execution main body of the display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be the terminal device (including a mobile terminal device and a non-mobile terminal device), or may also be a functional module and/or a functional entity capable of implementing the method in the terminal device, which may be determined specifically according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. The following takes a terminal device as an example to exemplarily explain the display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

The display method provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to the terminal equipment with the special-shaped screen, and the special-shaped screen comprises a regular display area and a special-shaped display area except the regular display area. Optionally, the special-shaped screen is a special-shaped screen with at least one groove region (usually a U-shaped groove region), at least one of two sides of each groove region has a special-shaped display sub-region, and all the special-shaped display sub-regions belong to the special-shaped display region.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 2, the special-shaped screen (the area surrounded by the dotted line in the figure is the special-shaped screen) of the terminal device has a groove area (the area in the figure where the camera and the receiver are placed), the special-shaped display area has two special-shaped display sub-areas (the shaded part in the figure), the two special-shaped display sub-areas are respectively located at two sides of the groove area, and the regular display area is the area of the special-shaped screen except for the special-shaped display area.

Referring to fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display method, which may include steps 201 to 202 described below.

Step 201, under the condition that the terminal device is in a bright screen state, the terminal device acquires N first identifiers.

Optionally, the terminal device may obtain the N first identifiers each time the screen starts to be turned on (i.e., in response to the received screen-on operation of the user, the time when the terminal device turns on the screen); the terminal device may periodically acquire N first identifiers according to a preset period in a bright screen state, where the N first identifiers acquired each time may be the same or different, and are determined according to actual conditions, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, the N first identifiers may be obtained by the terminal device in real time; the N first identifiers may also be obtained by the terminal device in advance (at a certain previous time period), and stored in the memory, and the terminal device reads the N first identifiers from the memory; the specific details are determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited.

Each of the N first identifiers is used to indicate an information, the N information indicated by the N first identifiers is different from the content displayed on the current interface of the terminal device and is information other than the device information of the terminal device, and the current interface is displayed in the rule display area.

It should be noted that: in the implementation of the present invention, the device information of the terminal device includes: remaining power information of the battery, signal strength information, time information, etc.

Optionally, the first identifier may be information corresponding to the first identifier, and the obtaining, by the terminal device, N first identifiers is N information; the first identifier may be a keyword or a topic, etc. in the information corresponding to the first identifier, and the terminal device acquires N first identifiers, that is, acquires N information first, and then extracts the keyword or the topic, etc. from the N information as the first identifier.

Optionally, the current interface may be a main interface (an interface for displaying an application icon) of the terminal device, and the current interface may also be an interface (a full screen interface or a non-full screen interface) in any application in the terminal device.

The terminal device can acquire applications browsed by the user in the recent period of time, and determine information which is possibly concerned by the user, such as popular topics and activities, contents which are interesting to the user, contents browsed by the user for a long time and the like, by analyzing historical browsing contents of the applications through artificial intelligence. The method for acquiring N pieces of information by the terminal device may refer to the related art, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

For example, the terminal device may analyze a topic that is recently trended through an artificial intelligence method, or an activity that is recently trended through an artificial intelligence method, such as analyzing a trending game through an artificial intelligence method during the world cup, and may display a score (i.e., a score of a game identified as the first identifier) in the heterogeneous display area. Specifically, the top topical activities of a day are listed by searching keywords on the web by using canty & kmeans, and combining the rankings by means of bayer. This particular algorithm can be improved with LSH: the LSH is a clustering algorithm proposed to solve the nearest neighbor search problem of high-dimensional vector data, and the algorithm has low time complexity. When the LSH algorithm is applied to text clustering, the method comprises 3 steps: extracting feature vectors, reducing dimension by using minimum hash (minHash), clustering by using LSH (least-likelihood) and finally calculating topics, and then calculating hot topics by sequencing. For example, the ranking may be an algorithm as follows: the terminal device calculates every 10 minutes, obtains topics released in the last 7 days, and counts the number of praise and comments of the topics, wherein the topic is scored 4 points when obtaining one praise and 1 point when receiving one reply, for example, if topic a receives 10 praise in 7 days and 10 comments, the score is 10 x 4+10 x 1-50. And calculating the scores of all the topics, and then sequencing, wherein the top eight topics become hot topics. Reference may be made in particular to the prior art.

Illustratively, the terminal device may also analyze the content of interest to the user through an artificial intelligence method, such as whether the user is interested in news, music, video, and the like. Bayesian theory is required for this analysis. Bayesian theory refers to the calculation of the probability of occurrence of one event based on the probability of occurrence of another event. Even when we know what the user browses in front to deduce the content that the user may be interested in, the bayesian theory formula is:

where A and B are both events, P (B) is not 0. Basically, the probability of occurrence of event a, also called evidence, can be calculated as long as we give that event B is true. Where p (a) is the prior (prior probability, e.g., the probability of occurring before evidence) of event a. Evidence is an attribute value of an unknown event (here event B). P (A | B) is the posterior probability of B, e.g., the probability of occurring after evidence.

Above scenario, we can use bayesian theory as follows:

where y is a class variable, and X is a dependent feature vector (of size n): x ═ X (X1, X2, X3,.., xn)

For the sake of clarity, the feature vectors and associated class variables of our example are (first line of the dataset):

x ═ time (time the user browsed, content the user browsed, frequency the user browsed)

y-content that may be of interest to the user

So P (X | y) here means knowing the time the user browses, the content browsed, and the frequency of browsing to obtain the content that the user may be interested in. Reference may be made in particular to the prior art.

For example, the content frequently browsed by the user may be analyzed, and if the user runs a certain process in the foreground for a long time within one day, which indicates that the user is using the application for a long time, for example, the process runs in the foreground for 5 hours a day, a first identifier for indicating the WeChat information should be displayed in the special-shaped display area.

The algorithm run for a long time is as follows: if the user starts up for more than 24 hours, the average daily foreground operation time of the process is within 24 hours; if the user's on-time is less than 24 hours, then the process average foreground operating time per day-the time the process foreground is operating (24/day on-time). Reference may be made in particular to the prior art.

Step 202, the terminal device displays at least one first identifier of the N first identifiers in the special-shaped display area.

Optionally, when the terminal device displays at least one first identifier of the N first identifiers in the special-shaped display area, the terminal device may further display small icons of battery remaining capacity, signal strength, time, and the like in the special-shaped display area; small icons such as battery residual capacity, signal intensity and time and the like do not need to be displayed in the special-shaped display area; the specific details are determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited.

Optionally, the terminal device may display only one first identifier of the N first identifiers in the special-shaped display area within a first preset time period, may display two first identifiers in the special-shaped display area within the first preset time period, and may display a plurality of first identifiers in the special-shaped display area within the first preset time period. The first preset time period may be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, if the special-shaped display area includes a plurality of special-shaped display sub-areas, at least one of the N first identifiers is displayed in at least one of the plurality of special-shaped display sub-areas of the terminal device. For example, the special-shaped display area includes two special-shaped display sub-areas, the terminal device may display at least one first identifier of the N first identifiers in one special-shaped display sub-area, and display other content without displaying the first identifier in the other special-shaped display sub-area; the terminal device can also display at least one first identifier in the N first identifiers in the two special-shaped display sub-areas; the specific details are determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited.

This step may be specifically implemented by step 202a described below.

Step 202a, the terminal device displays the N first identifiers in the special-shaped display area in a circulating manner.

Optionally, the terminal device may display one first identifier in the special-shaped display area each time, or may display a plurality of first identifiers in the special-shaped display area each time, which is specifically set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, the terminal device may update the first identifier displayed in the special-shaped display area with a second preset duration as the display duration, that is, every second preset duration. The second preset time period may be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. Illustratively, the circular display may be a scrolling display.

Illustratively, each time one first marker is displayed in the special-shaped display area, the second preset time is 10s, starting from the point that the terminal device lights up the screen (special-shaped screen), a fifth marker is displayed in the first 10s, a sixth marker is displayed in the second 10s, and a seventh marker is displayed in the third 10 s.

Illustratively, the second mark is displayed in the special-shaped display area, and the second mark is a mark of the N first marks (the second mark may be one first mark, or may be multiple first marks, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto). Referring to fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4, after step 202, the display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include steps 203 to 204 described below.

Therefore, the display space of the special-shaped display area on the special-shaped screen can be fully utilized, more information can be displayed, and the user experience can be improved.

Step 203, the terminal device receives a first input of the user on the special-shaped display area.

Optionally, the first input may be a click operation of the user on the special-shaped display area, a slide operation of the user on the special-shaped display area, or other feasible operations of the user on the special-shaped display area, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

For example, the click operation may be a click operation, a long-press click (click time is greater than or equal to a preset time) operation, a short-press click (click time is less than the preset time) operation, an arbitrary number of click operations, and the like. The sliding operation may be a sliding operation in any direction, such as an upward sliding operation, a downward sliding operation, a leftward sliding operation, or a rightward sliding operation.

Alternatively, the first input may be an input on the second identifier displayed in the special-shaped display area, the first input may be an input on an area other than the area where the second identifier is displayed in the special-shaped display area, and the first input may be an input on an arbitrary position on the special-shaped display area, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

And step 204, responding to the first input, the terminal equipment updates and displays the second identifier as a third identifier, or the terminal equipment displays the first page.

Optionally, the first input may be an input that triggers the terminal device to update and display the currently displayed second identifier as the third identifier, and in response to the first input, the terminal device updates and displays the second identifier as the third identifier. The third identifier is different from the second identifier in the N first identifiers.

Illustratively, the terminal device receives a leftward sliding input of the user on the special-shaped display area to display a previous first identifier, or the terminal device receives a rightward sliding input of the user on the special-shaped display area to display a next first identifier.

Therefore, the user can trigger the terminal device to update the currently displayed at least one first identifier through the first input (the manual updating speed is faster than the automatic updating speed), so that the N first identifiers can be quickly viewed to obtain the first identifier which is interested by the user.

Optionally, the first input may be an input that triggers the terminal device to display the first page, and in response to the first input, the terminal device displays the first page. The first page comprises the N first marks, and the third mark is a mark different from the second mark in the N first marks displayed in the first page.

Illustratively, the terminal device receives a long-press input of a user on the special-shaped display area, and displays the first interface.

Optionally, the first page may be displayed in the regular display area; the first page can also be displayed in the special-shaped display area and the regular display area, namely one part is in the special-shaped display area and the other part is in the regular display area; the embodiments of the present invention are not limited.

Optionally, the first page may be displayed in a superimposed manner on the current display interface of the terminal device, the size and transparency of the first page, and the like.

Therefore, the user can trigger the terminal device to display the first page through the first input, so that the N first identifications can be quickly viewed to obtain the first identifications which are interested by the user.

Illustratively, in conjunction with fig. 4, as shown in fig. 5, after step 204, the display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps 205 to 206.

Step 205, the terminal device receives a second input of the user on the target identifier.

The description of the second input may refer to the above description of the first input, and is not repeated here.

The target identifier is the third identifier, or the target identifier is any one of the first identifiers in the first page.

If the first input is input for triggering the terminal equipment to update and display the currently displayed second identifier as a third identifier, the target identifier is the third identifier; and if the first input is the input for triggering the terminal equipment to display the first page, the target identifier is any one first identifier in the first page.

And step 206, responding to the second input, and updating and displaying the current interface as a target application interface by the terminal equipment.

The target application interface includes the content of the information indicated by the target identifier, and the target application interface may further include other content besides the content of the information indicated by the target identifier.

Illustratively, the terminal device receives a short-press input of a user on the target identifier, and the content displayed by the current interface updates and displays the target application interface.

Therefore, the terminal equipment can check the content of the information indicated by the target identifier through the second input, compared with the prior art, the current interface does not need to be closed, the target application does not need to be opened, the target application interface does not need to be opened, the content of the information indicated by the target identifier is checked, the operation steps are saved, and the time is saved.

Illustratively, in conjunction with fig. 5, as shown in fig. 6, after step 205, the display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include steps 207 to 209 described below.

And step 207, responding to the second input, the terminal device displays a fourth identifier in the special-shaped display area, wherein the fourth identifier is used for indicating the content displayed by the current interface.

The fourth identifier may be an icon of an application to which the current interface belongs, a keyword of content of the current interface, a topic, and the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

After the terminal equipment receives the second input, the terminal equipment displays the fourth identification in the special-shaped display area, the user can return to the last viewed interface from the target application interface conveniently, and the user experience can be improved.

It should be noted that: if the special-shaped display area comprises a plurality of special-shaped display sub-areas, the terminal device can display the N first marks on one special-shaped display sub-area and display the fourth mark on the other special-shaped display sub-area, namely, the N first marks and the fourth mark are respectively displayed on different special-shaped display sub-areas; the terminal equipment can also display the N first identifications and the fourth identifications in the same special-shaped display sub-area; the embodiments of the present invention are not limited.

It should be noted that: step 207 does not have a sequence with step 206, for example, step 206 may be executed first, and step 207 may be executed; step 207 may be executed first, and step 206 may be executed; step 206 and step 207 may also be performed simultaneously; the embodiments of the present invention are not limited.

And step 208, the terminal device receives a third input of the user on the fourth identifier.

The description of the third input may refer to the above description related to the first input, and will not be repeated here.

And step 209, responding to the third input, and updating and displaying the target application interface as the current interface by the terminal equipment.

Illustratively, during the playing of the game, the user clicks the target identifier indicating the popular news displayed in the special-shaped display area, the terminal device enters the target application interface including the popular news, and meanwhile, the fourth identifier is displayed in the special-shaped display area of the terminal device. After the user finishes watching the popular news, the user can update and display the target application interface as the content of the original game interface through double-click input on the fourth identifier, and then continue playing games.

Therefore, the terminal equipment can return to the last viewed interface from the target application interface through the third input, so that the operation steps can be saved, and the time can be saved.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 4, as shown in fig. 7, if step 204 is step 204a, in response to the first input, the terminal device displays the first page, then after step 204, the display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include steps 210 to 211 described below.

In step 210, the terminal device receives a fourth input of the user on the first page.

The description of the fourth input may refer to the above description related to the first input, and will not be repeated here.

Step 211, responding to the fourth input, the terminal device cancels and displays the fifth identifier corresponding to the fourth input in the first page.

The fifth identifier is an identifier in the N first identifiers, and is at least one first identifier in the N first identifiers. For example, the fifth identifier is an identifier which is not interested by the user in the N first identifiers.

The fourth input is used for triggering the terminal device to delete the fifth identifier in the first page, and in response to the fourth input, the terminal device cancels and displays the fifth identifier corresponding to the fourth input in the first page.

Thus, the terminal device can view and manage the N first identifiers in the first page.
