Detailed Description

Various preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description with reference to the accompanying drawings is provided to assist in understanding the exemplary embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. It includes various specific details to assist understanding, but they are to be construed as merely illustrative. Accordingly, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Also, in order to make the description clearer and simpler, a detailed description of functions and configurations well known in the art will be omitted.

First, an application environment of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be briefly described. As shown in fig. 1, a server 10 is connected to a plurality of electronic devices 20 through a network 30. The plurality of electronic devices 20 may be electronic devices that perform a bullet screen display method described below. The electronic device may be a smart terminal, such as a smart phone, a PDA (personal digital assistant), a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, etc., or other types of terminals. The server 10 is a device that communicates with the electronic device 20. Specifically, the server 10 may receive a bullet screen pull request from the electronic device 20. Also, in response to the bullet screen drawing request, the server 10 may transmit bullet screen data to the electronic device 20. The server 10 can be regarded as a background server for managing and storing the bullet screen data. The network 30 may be any type of wired or wireless network, such as the internet. It should be appreciated that the electronic device 20 shown in FIG. 1 is illustrative, and not restrictive, and that it may be one or more.

And a client for browsing the content is installed on the electronic equipment. For example, the client may be a video client, an animation client, or the like. The user can watch various videos or read various animations through the client.

The electronic equipment is connected with a server. The server may be a server corresponding to the client for communicating with the electronic device and providing various data required by the user when using the client to the electronic device.

Specifically, the client includes a plurality of functional modules and a content presentation module. For example, the function modules may include an update module, a cull module, a membership information module, various classification modules regarding videos or animations, and the like. In the page of the update module, the most recently updated content resource may be displayed. In the pick module's page, the content resource with the highest attention may be displayed. In the page of the membership information module, information related to the user's account may be displayed. In the case of a video client, each classification module may be a classification module such as a movie, a television show, a variety, and the like. In the case of an animation client, each classification module may be a classification module such as an animation theme (e.g., brother, girl heart, etc.), an animation region (e.g., japanese korean, europe, and america), and the like. Different from the functional modules, the content presentation module is a module for playing videos or cartoons. For example, after a user selects a certain content resource (e.g., a certain movie or a certain cartoon) through a certain function module, the content resource is displayed in a full screen manner by the content presentation module.

Next, a bullet screen display method of the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to fig. 2. The bullet screen display method is applied to electronic equipment. The electronic device may be the electronic device 20 of fig. 1.

As shown in fig. 2, the bullet screen display method includes the following steps.

First, in step S201, the client is started. For example, the client may be launched in response to a user clicking on an icon of the client.

Then, in step S202, when the content play page has not been entered, a barrage pull request is sent to the server.

Next, in step S203, the bullet screen data transmitted in response to the bullet screen pulling request is received from the server. And finally, in step S204, the bullet screen data is displayed on the current display page of the client.

Wherein the bullet screen pulling request may include module information corresponding to a currently displayed page of the client, and the bullet screen data received from the server is determined based on the module information.

For example, each of the function module and the content presentation module has identification Information (ID) capable of uniquely identifying itself. The identification information of the module corresponding to the currently displayed page may be used as the module information. The determination of which module the client is currently located in may be made by obtaining identification information of the current module.

In addition, the barrage pulling request may include current time information, and the barrage data is data issued within a predetermined time period related to the current time. Here, the data may be at least one of comment data, message data, and bonus data as examples as described below.

Next, several examples of specific configurations of bullet screen data will be described.

First, as a first example, the bullet screen data received from the server may include: comment data, published by unspecified users, relating to the module corresponding to the currently displayed page of the client. Here, the non-specific user may refer to any user who has registered an account of the client. As described below, if the user logging on the client at the electronic device is defined as the first user, the non-specific users may include friend users having a friend relationship with the first user and may also include other users having no friend relationship with the first user.

Since the comment data is time-efficient, in the case of the first example, the bullet screen pulling request may include current time information, so that the server can assemble corresponding bullet screen data based on the current time, so as to improve the immediacy of the bullet screen data.

And, in a case where the barrage pull request includes current time information, the barrage data is comment data that is posted within a predetermined time period related to the current time, for example, within a predetermined time period (e.g., 5 minutes) before and after the current time, accordingly.

Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of displaying barrage data including comment data on a page of one function module. As shown in fig. 3, the function module corresponding to the currently displayed page of the client is a culling module, and comment data from unspecified users is displayed on the page of the culling module in full screen. As described above, the culling module displays the content resources with the highest focus. As can be seen, these comment data include comment data for the content resource that is displayed with the highest degree of attention. Alternatively, the bullet screen data may also include comment data for all the function modules. This can be chosen freely according to specific design requirements.

Second, as a second example, the bullet screen data received from the server may include message data sent by a second user to the first user, where the second user is a friend user of the first user. That is, the message from the friend user is displayed in the form of a bullet screen. Accordingly, the barrage pull request further comprises: and logging in the user identification corresponding to the first user of the client on the electronic equipment. Therefore, the server searches message data of all friends sent to the first user based on the user identification of the first user, and sends the obtained message data to the electronic equipment as at least one part of the bullet screen data.

Fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of displaying bullet screen data including message data on a page of one function module. As shown in FIG. 4, the function module corresponding to the current display page of the client is a selection module, and the message data from the friend user is displayed on the page of the selection module.

In the related art, the messages from the friend users are not displayed in the form of a bullet screen, but are limited to a single window, such as the friend messages in the member information module. In contrast, in the bullet screen display method according to this example of the present disclosure, friend messages are displayed in the form of bullet screens, and a user no longer needs to enter each menu layer by layer in the member information module to view friend messages, thereby improving convenience of operation.

When comment data from a non-specific user and message data from a friend user are displayed in the form of a bullet screen at the same time, if there is a large amount of comment data, there may be a case where the user does not notice the message data from the friend user. To avoid this, as another possible implementation manner, in the barrage display method, the step S204 of displaying the barrage data on the current display page of the client may further include: when message data from a second user is received from the server, display of the message data is performed and display of the comment data is closed. That is, upon receiving message data from a friend user, the display of comment data is temporarily turned off so that the user can view the message data at a glance.

Further, as a third example, the bullet screen data received from the server may further include: reward data associated with a module corresponding to a currently displayed page of the client. For example, the reward data may be marketing campaign information corresponding to the current module. Fig. 5 and 6 are diagrams respectively showing the display of bullet screen data including bonus data on pages of different function modules. As shown in FIG. 5, the functional module corresponding to the current display surface of the client is a cull module, and the reward data corresponding to the cull module is displayed on a page of the cull module. As shown in fig. 6, the function module corresponding to the currently displayed page of the client is a today's welfare module, and the reward data corresponding to the today's welfare module is displayed on the page of the today's welfare module.

By randomly presenting reward data (such as operation activity bullet screen) at any position on the page of the current module in the form of bullet screen, the user watching the bullet screen can participate in activities or receive rewards in a clicking mode, so that the interaction mode of the user can be enriched, and the participation degree of the user can be improved.

Of course, the three examples of the bullet screen data listed above may be used alone as the bullet screen data, or may be used in combination as the bullet screen data. For example, the barrage data may include comment data, message data, and reward data. Alternatively, the bullet screen data may include only comment data.

Based on the above description of the specific process of the bullet screen display method according to the present disclosure, it can be understood that, when the module corresponding to the current display page of the client is a certain functional module, in step S202, a bullet screen pulling request is sent to the server, where the bullet screen pulling request includes module information of the functional module corresponding to the current display page of the client. For example, when the function module corresponding to the currently displayed page of the client is the culling module, and the content resource with the highest attention is displayed on the page of the culling module as described above, the barrage data received from the server in step S203 is the barrage data related to the culling module. For example, the bullet screen data received from the server may include comment data for the displayed content resource with the highest degree of attention. Alternatively, the bullet screen data received from the server may also include comment data for all the function modules. This can be chosen freely according to specific design requirements. Finally, in step S204, the received bullet screen data is displayed on the current display page of the client.

On the other hand, when the module corresponding to the current display page of the client is a content presentation module, in other words, when the content play page is entered, a barrage pull request may also be sent to the server, where the barrage pull request includes module information of the content presentation module corresponding to the current display page of the client. For example, in a case where the barrage data received from the server includes comment data issued by an unspecified user and corresponding to the content and the play progress played in the content presentation module, when the module corresponding to the current display page of the client is the content presentation module, the barrage pull request further includes, different from the function module, play progress information of the current content, so that the displayed comment data matches with the play progress of the current video or the viewing progress of the comic. And finally, displaying the received barrage data on a page of the content presentation module.

At a predetermined frequency, namely: steps S202 to S204 are repeatedly performed every predetermined time. That is, after the client is started, the bullet screen data is periodically requested from the server, and the corresponding bullet screen data is received from the server. Therefore, when the module corresponding to the current display page of the client is changed, the displayed barrage data can be correspondingly changed.

As can be seen, in the bullet screen display method according to the present disclosure, not only can bullet screen data be displayed on a page of a content presentation module, but more importantly, in comparison with the related art in which bullet screen data is displayed only limitedly on a page of a single content presentation module, in the bullet screen display method according to the present disclosure, bullet screen data can also be displayed in pages of other functional modules different from the content presentation module. Therefore, in the bullet screen display method according to the present disclosure, the bullet screen data can be displayed not only when the user views the content, but also during the process of the user searching for the content, so as to ensure that the user can communicate in real time regardless of whether the user views the content or searches for the content. Therefore, the interaction modes of the users are expanded, and the interaction degree among the users can be further improved.

In addition, the bullet screen pulling request further comprises current time information besides the current module information, so that the interaction instantaneity is improved. Specifically, in the related art, the displayed barrage (e.g., comment data) only needs to match the play progress of the current video or the viewing progress of the comic, but the immediacy of the displayed barrage is not required. In other words, although it can be guaranteed that the bullet screen viewed by the user is a bullet screen adapted to the played content, it cannot be guaranteed that the bullet screen viewed by the user is a bullet screen viewed by the latest release. For example, a user viewing a barrage may be a barrage released a year ago. Therefore, the immediacy of the bullet screen display is poor. In contrast, in the bullet screen display method according to the present disclosure, since the current time information is contained in the bullet screen pulling request and accordingly the bullet screen data within the predetermined time related to the current time is received from the server, the immediacy of the displayed bullet screen data can be ensured.

As described above, the bullet screen data including at least one of the comment data, the message data, and the bonus data may be displayed on the page of each function module. As a possible implementation, a selection interface may also be provided to the user whether to turn on the above display of different kinds of bullet screens, as shown in fig. 7, in consideration of the usage habits of different users. And selecting the bullet screen display setting through the selection interface by the user. Accordingly, in this embodiment, before the step S202 sends the bullet screen drawing request to the server, the bullet screen display method further includes a step of reading bullet screen display settings. And, in step S202, the corresponding bullet screen data is requested from the server based on the bullet screen display setting. For example, if the bullet screen display setting indicates that the bullet screen display of the message data and the bonus data is turned off, only the comment data is requested from the server as the bullet screen data.

Further, the comment data, message data, and bonus data described above may be mixed together and displayed in full screen. Of course, as another possible embodiment, the display area of various bullet screen data can be customized. That is, the user may also be provided with a selection interface that selects display areas of different types of barrages. And selecting the setting of the bullet screen area through the selection interface by the user. In this embodiment, before displaying the received bullet screen data in step S204, the bullet screen display method further includes a step of reading bullet screen region settings. And, in step S204, based on the setting of the bullet screen regions, different types of bullet screen data are respectively displayed in the corresponding regions. For example, fig. 8 shows a schematic diagram of a display area for setting message data. As shown in fig. 8, the display area of the message data is set as a shaded area 801. Although not shown, display areas for the comment data and the bonus data may be similarly set.

In the above, a method of sending a barrage pull request to a server, receiving various corresponding barrage data from the server, and displaying the received barrage data on a page of a current module is described. As described above, the bullet screen data may include at least one of comment data, message data, and bonus data. After displaying different types of bullet screen data, the user may perform further operations on the displayed bullet screen data.

Next, the subsequent operations after the display step will be described for different types of bullet screen data, respectively.

First, in a case where the bullet screen data includes the first example of the comment data, after the comment data is displayed in step S204, the bullet screen display method further includes: when a click operation on the displayed comment data is detected, an option of approval or reply may be displayed.

And when the clicking operation about the praise option is detected, the comment identification corresponding to the clicked comment data and the information of the praise number accumulation 1 are sent to the server in an associated manner.

When a click operation (namely, a reply operation on the displayed comment data) about a reply option is detected, an area for receiving information input is displayed on a current page, and information input in the area, a user identifier corresponding to a first user who logs in the client, and a comment identifier corresponding to the clicked comment data are sent to the server in an associated manner. In this way, the comment data can be replied. Therefore, the unspecified user who issues the comment data can see not only the number of likes of the comment data issued by the unspecified user but also reply information of other users to the comment data.

Fig. 9 shows a processing sequence chart of the bullet screen display method according to the first example of the present disclosure. In fig. 9, first, the electronic apparatus transmits a bullet screen pull request to the server (901). After receiving the barrage pulling request, the server searches corresponding barrage data (902) in a barrage system based on the information contained in the barrage pulling request, wherein the barrage system is a database of comment data published by unspecified users and stored on the server. Then, all the searched comment data are returned from the bullet screen system (903). Next, all the comment data is transmitted from the server to the electronic device (904), and the received comment data is displayed on the electronic device. Thereafter, when a click operation for the displayed comment data and a subsequent information input operation (e.g., a like or an input of reply information) are detected, the clicked comment identification and like information or the reply information, the first user identification, and the clicked comment identification are sent to the server (905). Then, the server determines which non-specific user (assumed to be the third user) the comment corresponds to based on the received comment identification, determines all the praise numbers, and then sends the praise numbers or sends back reply information and the first user identification to the determined non-specific user (906). Thus, the third user can receive the reply information of the first user. In fig. 9, the processing performed on the electronic device side is similar to the steps described above with reference to fig. 2.

Secondly, in the case where the bullet screen data includes the second example of the message data, after the message data is displayed at step S204, the bullet screen display method further includes: when a reply operation to the displayed message data is detected, for example, a click operation to the displayed message data may be regarded as a reply operation to the displayed message data, and an area for receiving information input is displayed on the current page; and sending the information input in the area, the user identification corresponding to the first user logging in the client and the user identification of the second user corresponding to the clicked message data to the server in a correlated manner. Fig. 10 shows an information input area 1001 displayed when a reply operation to displayed message data is detected. The user can conveniently enter reply information for the buddy message in this area.

Fig. 11 shows a processing sequence chart of the bullet screen display method according to the second example of the present disclosure. In fig. 11, first, the electronic device transmits a bullet screen pull request to the server (1101). After receiving the barrage pull request, the server searches corresponding message data (1102) in a friend message database based on information contained in the barrage pull request, wherein the friend message database is a database of message data of all friends stored on the server and coming from the first user. All the message data from the search is then returned from the buddy message database (1103). Next, all message data is sent from the server to the electronic device (1104), and the received message data is displayed on the electronic device. Thereafter, when a reply operation (e.g., a click operation) to the displayed message data and a subsequent information input operation are detected, the information input in the area, the user identification corresponding to the first user who logged in the client, and the user identification of the second user corresponding to the clicked message data are transmitted to the server (1105). The server then forwards all the received information to the second user (1106) so that the second user can receive a reply message from the first user.

In the related art, when a user wants to reply to message data from a friend, it is necessary to enter menus layer by layer in the member information module until a reply interface of the message. These operations are cumbersome for the user. In contrast, in the bullet screen display method according to the example of the present disclosure, the friend message is displayed in the form of a bullet screen, and the user can directly reply by a simple click operation, which greatly improves the convenience of the operation.

Finally, in the case where the bullet screen data includes the third example of the bonus data, after the bonus data is displayed at step S204, the bullet screen display method further includes: when the clicking operation of the displayed reward data is detected, sending a reward identifier corresponding to the clicked reward data and a user identifier of the first user to the server; and receiving bonus result data returned from the server. For example, the reward data may appear randomly in the form of a bullet screen anywhere in the page of the current module. When the user sees the displayed reward data, the user can participate in the activity or receive the reward by clicking. Specifically, if the clicking operation of the user on certain reward data is detected on the electronic device, a reward identifier corresponding to the clicked reward data and a user identifier of the first user are sent to the server. The server determines whether the first user qualifies for participation in the activity or withdrawal of the reward based on the reward identification and the user identification, and further determines a specific reward amount if the first user qualifies for participation in the activity or withdrawal of the reward, as final reward result data, to be returned to the electronic device.

Fig. 12 shows a processing sequence chart of the bullet screen display method according to the third example of the present disclosure. In fig. 12, first, the electronic apparatus transmits a bullet screen pull request to the server (1201). After receiving the bullet screen pulling request, the server searches corresponding reward data (1202) in a reward database based on information contained in the bullet screen pulling request, wherein the reward database is a database of reward data which is stored on the server and corresponds to each functional module. Then, the reward data corresponding to the searched current module is returned from the reward database (1203). Next, all of the reward data is sent from the server to the electronic device (1204), and the received reward data is displayed on the electronic device. Thereafter, when a click operation on the displayed bonus data is detected, a bonus identification corresponding to the clicked bonus data and a user identification of the first user are sent to the server (1205). The server then queries 1206 the reward result database for reward result data based on the received information, and returns 1207 the queried reward result data. Finally, the queried reward result data is transmitted to the electronic device (1208).

The reward information is displayed in the bullet screen mode, so that the interaction modes of the user can be further enriched, and the participation degree of the user is improved.

In the above, the bullet screen display method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to fig. 1 to 12. Next, a specific configuration of an electronic apparatus for bullet screen display according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to fig. 13.

The electronic device may be the client 20 in fig. 1. The electronic equipment is provided with a client corresponding to the bullet screen, the client comprises a plurality of functional modules and a content presentation module, and the electronic equipment is connected with a server. The server may be a server corresponding to the client for communicating with the electronic device and providing various data required by the user when using the client to the electronic device.

As shown in fig. 13, the electronic device 1300 includes: a display unit 1301, a communication unit 1302, and a control unit 1303.

The display unit 1301 is used to perform display of data. The display unit 1301 may be, for example, a liquid crystal display.

The communication unit 1302 is configured to send a barrage pull request to a server and receive barrage data determined based on the barrage pull request from the server when the client is started and a content playing page has not been entered.

The control unit 1302 is configured to control the display unit to display the bullet screen data on the current display page of the client.

The barrage pulling request comprises module information corresponding to a current display page of the client, and the barrage data received from the server is determined based on the module information.

In addition, the electronic device 1300 may further include an input unit 1304 for receiving an operation of the display unit by a user. For example, the input unit 1304 may be integrated with the display unit 1301 into a touch display screen.

As described hereinabove, as a first example, the bullet screen data received from the server includes: comment data, published by unspecified users, relating to the module corresponding to the currently displayed page of the client. The non-specific user may refer to any user who has registered an account of the client. As described below, if the user logging on the client at the electronic device is defined as the first user, the non-specific users may include friend users having a friend relationship with the first user and may also include other users having no friend relationship with the first user.

Since the comment data has timeliness, in the case of the first example, in addition to the module information corresponding to the current display page of the client, the barrage pull request may further include current time information, so that the server not only calls the corresponding barrage data based on the module information corresponding to the current display page of the client, but also assembles the corresponding barrage data based on the current time, so as to improve the immediacy of the barrage data.

And, in a case where the barrage pull request further includes current time information, the barrage data is comment data that is published within a predetermined time period related to the current time, for example, within a predetermined time period (e.g., 5 minutes) before and after the current time, accordingly.

In the first example, the control unit 1303 is further configured to: when the input unit 1304 detects a click operation on the displayed comment data, an option of approval or reply may be displayed.

When a click operation on a like option is detected, the communication unit 1302 transmits, to the server, a comment identifier corresponding to clicked comment data and information of like number accumulation 1 in an associated manner.

When the input unit detects a click operation on a reply option (i.e., a reply operation to the displayed comment data), the control unit 1303 controls the display unit 1301 to display an area for receiving information input on the current page.

And, the communication unit 1302 is further configured to: and sending the information input in the area, the user identification corresponding to the first user logging in the client and the comment identification corresponding to the clicked comment data to the server in a correlated manner.

In this way, the comment data can be replied. Therefore, the unspecified user who issues the comment data can see not only the number of likes of the comment data issued by the unspecified user but also reply information of other users to the comment data.

When comment data from a non-specific user and message data from a friend user are displayed in the form of a bullet screen at the same time, if there is a large amount of comment data, there may be a case where the user does not notice the message data from the friend user. To avoid this, as another possible implementation, the control unit 1303 is further configured to: when message data from a second user is received from the server, the display unit 1302 is controlled to perform display of the message data and to close display of the comment data. That is, upon receiving message data from a friend user, the display of comment data is temporarily turned off so that the user can view the message data at a glance.

Further, in the second example, the control unit 1303 is further configured to control the display unit 1301 to display an area for receiving information input on a current page when the input unit 1304 detects a reply operation to the message data displayed by the display unit 1301.

And, the communication unit 1302 is further configured to send the information input in the area, the user identifier corresponding to the first user logging in the client, and the user identifier corresponding to the second user clicking the message data to the server in an associated manner.

Further, as a third example, the bullet screen data received from the server may further include: reward data associated with a module corresponding to a currently displayed page of the client. For example, the reward data may be marketing campaign information corresponding to the current module.

Also, in a third example, the communication unit 1302 is further configured to: when the input unit 1304 detects a click operation on the bonus data displayed by the display unit 1301, the bonus identifier corresponding to the clicked bonus data and the user identifier of the first user are sent to the server, and bonus result data returned from the server are received.

By randomly presenting reward data (such as operation activity bullet screen) at any position on the current module page in the form of bullet screen, the user watching the bullet screen can participate in activities or receive rewards in a clicking mode, so that the interaction mode of the user can be enriched, and the participation degree of the user can be improved.

Of course, the three examples of the bullet screen data listed above may be used alone as the bullet screen data, or may be used in combination as the bullet screen data. For example, the barrage data may include comment data, message data, and reward data. Alternatively, the bullet screen data may include only comment data. That is, the bullet screen data may include at least one of comment data, message data, and bonus data.

Based on the above description of the specific configuration of the electronic device according to the present disclosure, it can be understood that, when the module corresponding to the current display page of the client is a certain functional module, the communication unit 1302 sends a barrage pull request to the server, where the barrage pull request includes module information of the functional module corresponding to the current display page of the client. For example, when the function module corresponding to the current display page of the client is the culling module, where the culling module displays the content resource with the highest attention as described above, the barrage data received by the communication unit 1302 from the server is the barrage data related to the culling module. For example, the bullet screen data received from the server may include comment data for the displayed content resource with the highest degree of attention. Alternatively, the bullet screen data received from the server may also include comment data for all the function modules. This can be chosen freely according to specific design requirements. Finally, the control unit 1303 controls the display unit 1301 to display the received bullet screen data on the page of the function module.

On the other hand, when the module corresponding to the current display page of the client is a content presentation module, the method comprises the following steps: when entering the content playing page, the communication unit 1302 sends a barrage pulling request to the server, where the barrage pulling request includes module information of a content presentation module corresponding to the current display page of the client. For example, in a case where the barrage data received by the communication unit 1302 from the server includes comment data issued by an unspecified user and corresponding to the content and the playing progress in the content presentation module, when the module corresponding to the current display page of the client is the content presentation module, the barrage pull request further includes, unlike the functional module, playing progress information of the current content, so that the displayed comment data matches the playing progress of the current video or the viewing progress of the comic. Finally, the control unit 1303 controls the display unit 1302 to display the received bullet screen data on the page of the content presentation module.

The communication unit 1302 transmits the signals at predetermined frequencies, namely: repeatedly sending a bullet screen drawing request to the server and receiving bullet screen data from the server at preset time intervals. That is, after the client is started, the bullet screen data is periodically requested from the server, and the corresponding bullet screen data is received from the server. Therefore, when the module corresponding to the current display page of the client is changed, the displayed barrage data can be correspondingly changed.

In addition, in the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the display unit 1302 is further configured to display a selection interface regarding a bullet screen display setting for selecting whether to turn on display of different kinds of bullet screen data; and the communication unit 1302 is further configured to: and requesting corresponding bullet screen data from the server based on bullet screen display setting.

In addition, in the electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the display unit 1302 is further configured to: displaying a selection interface which is set about the bullet screen area and is used for selecting display areas of different types of bullet screens; and based on the setting of the bullet screen area, different types of bullet screen data are respectively displayed in the corresponding areas.

As can be seen, in the electronic device according to the present disclosure, it is possible not only to display the bullet screen data in the content presentation module, but more importantly, in the electronic device according to the present disclosure, it is also possible to display the bullet screen data in a page of a functional module other than the content presentation module, as compared to the related art in which the bullet screen data is limited to only a single content presentation module. Therefore, in the electronic device according to the present disclosure, the barrage data can be displayed not only when the user views the content, but also during the process that the user finds the content, so as to ensure that the user can communicate in real time both during viewing the content and during finding the content. Therefore, the interaction modes of the users are expanded, and the interaction degree among the users can be further improved.

In addition, the barrage pulling request can comprise current time information, so that the instantaneity of interaction is improved. Specifically, in the related art, the displayed barrage (e.g., comment data) only needs to match the play progress of the current video or the viewing progress of the comic, but the immediacy of the displayed barrage is not required. In other words, although it can be guaranteed that the bullet screen viewed by the user is a bullet screen adapted to the played content, it cannot be guaranteed that the bullet screen viewed by the user is a bullet screen viewed by the latest release. For example, a user viewing a barrage may be a barrage released a year ago. Therefore, the immediacy of the bullet screen display is poor. In contrast, in the electronic apparatus according to the present disclosure, since the current time information is contained in the bullet screen drawing request, and accordingly, bullet screen data within a predetermined time related to the current time is received from the server, the immediacy of the displayed bullet screen data can be ensured.

Furthermore, methods or devices according to embodiments of the present disclosure may also be implemented by way of the architecture of computing device 1400 shown in fig. 14. As shown in fig. 14, computing device 1400 may include a bus 1410, one or more CPUs 1420, Read Only Memory (ROM)1430, Random Access Memory (RAM)1440, a communication port 1450 to connect to a network, input/output components 1460, hard disk 1470, and the like. A storage device in the computing device 1400, such as the ROM 1430 or the hard disk 1470, may store various data or files used for processing and/or communication of the bullet screen display method provided by the present disclosure and program instructions executed by the CPU. Of course, the architecture shown in FIG. 14 is merely exemplary, and one or more components of the computing device shown in FIG. 14 may be omitted as needed in implementing different devices.

Embodiments of the present disclosure may also be implemented as a computer-readable storage medium. A computer readable storage medium according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has computer readable instructions stored thereon. The computer readable instructions, when executed by a processor, may perform the bullet screen display method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure described with reference to the above drawings. The computer-readable storage medium includes, but is not limited to, volatile memory and/or non-volatile memory, for example. The volatile memory may include, for example, Random Access Memory (RAM), cache memory (cache), and/or the like. The non-volatile memory may include, for example, Read Only Memory (ROM), hard disk, flash memory, etc.

Heretofore, the bullet screen display method and the electronic apparatus according to the present disclosure have been described in detail with reference to fig. 1 to 14. In the bullet screen display method and the electronic equipment, bullet screen data can be displayed in pages of other functional modules different from the content presentation module, so that the interaction mode of users is expanded, and the interaction degree between the users can be further improved. In addition, by further including the current time information in the bullet screen pulling request and accordingly receiving bullet screen data within a predetermined time related to the current time from the server, the immediacy of the displayed bullet screen data can be ensured. In addition, the friend message is displayed in the form of a bullet screen, so that the convenience of user operation can be further improved. In addition, the reward information is displayed in the bullet screen mode, so that the interaction modes of the user can be further enriched, and the participation degree of the user is improved.
