Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

It should be noted that: like reference numbers and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and thus, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Meanwhile, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", and the like are used only for distinguishing the description, and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

The existing annotation display mode is to mark the text content of the annotation, and when a subsequent user wants to view the related annotation of the marked text content (i.e. characters), the user needs to click the text content with the mark to display the related annotation. That is to say, in the prior art, the related annotations cannot be displayed in the same page where the text content is displayed, and subsequently, if the user wants to view the related annotations of the marked text content, the user needs to click on the marked text content, and then the terminal pops up a new page where the related annotations are recorded to view the page, thereby causing the problems of low annotation display efficiency and poor user reading experience.

Based on this, the embodiments of the present application skillfully provide a method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium for displaying annotations, where a first annotation for a first target content is sent to a server by a first device, and a second annotation for the first target content is sent to the first device by the server, where the second annotation includes the first annotation. Subsequently, the first device displays the second annotation in the same page where the first target content is located, so that the user can directly view the second annotation in the page of the first target content, and the problems of low annotation display efficiency and poor user reading experience in the prior art are solved.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an implementation scenario 100 to which an embodiment of the present application is applicable. Specifically, the implementation scenario 100 includes one or more of a server 110, a network 120, a first device 130, and a second device 140.

In some embodiments, the server 110 may be a single server or a group of servers. The set of servers can be centralized or distributed (e.g., the servers 110 can be a distributed system). In some embodiments, the server 110 may be local or remote to the terminal. For example, the server 110 may access information and/or data stored in the first device 130, the second device 140, or any combination thereof via the network 120. As another example, the server 110 may be directly connected to at least one of the first device 130 and the second device 140 to access stored information and/or data. In some embodiments, the server 110 may be implemented on a cloud platform.

In some embodiments, the server 110 may include a processor. The processor may process information and/or data related to the service request to perform one or more of the functions described herein. For example, the processor may obtain a first annotation to the first target content sent by the first device 130 from the first device 130. In some embodiments, a processor may include one or more processing cores (e.g., a single-core processor (S) or a multi-core processor (S)).

Network 120 may be used for the exchange of information and/or data. In some embodiments, one or more components implementing the scenario 100 (e.g., the first device 130, etc.) may send information or data to other components. For example, the server 110 may send a second annotation to the first target content to the first device 130 via the network 120. In some embodiments, the network 120 may be any type of wired or wireless network, or combination thereof. For example, network 120 may include wired or wireless network access points, such as base stations and/or network switching nodes, through which one or more components implementing scenario 100 may connect to network 120 to exchange data and/or information.

In some embodiments, the first device 130 or the second device 140 may comprise a mobile device, a tablet, or a laptop, etc.

In this embodiment, when the user annotates the first target content in the currently displayed page of the application program of the first device 130, the first device 130 sends the first annotation of the first target content by the user to the server 110. Since there may be other users annotating the first target content in addition to the first device 130. For example, when other users annotate the same first target content in the display page of the application program of the second device 140, the second device 140 may also send third annotations of the first target content by other users to the server 110. Thus, to achieve synchronization, the server 110 can send a second annotation to the first device 130 for the first target content, where the second annotation can include the first annotation and the third annotation. Subsequently, the first device 130 displays the second annotation in the same page where the first target content is located, that is, the first target content and the second annotation can be simultaneously displayed in the same page.

It should be noted that the method and apparatus for displaying annotations provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be further extended to other suitable implementation scenarios, and are not limited to the implementation scenario 100 shown in fig. 1. Although only 1 server and 2 terminals are shown in the implementation scenario 100 of fig. 1, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that in the course of practical application, the implementation scenario 100 may include more or fewer terminals and servers, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

Fig. 2 shows a flowchart of a method for displaying annotations provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the method shown in fig. 2 includes:

in step S210, the first device determines the first target content according to a touch operation of the user on the first target content. The touch operation comprises a click operation or a long-time press operation on the first target content.

It should be understood that the first target content is target content selected from a display page (or content currently displayed on a display screen) of an application program of the first device. The first target content may be a text (including a text and a title), a picture, or a video. That is to say, the specific type of the first target content may be set according to actual requirements, as long as it is ensured that the selected first target content meets the preset selection rule, and the embodiment of the application is not limited thereto.

It should also be understood that the preset selection rule is a rule for the user to select the first target content. That is, the preset selection rule is a constraint condition in the process of moving the boundary of the selected content by the user. The preset selection rule may be set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the application is not limited to this. For example, the preset selection rule may be that the first target content cannot cross a line, the first target content cannot cross a special character (e.g., a punctuation), or the first target content cannot exceed a preset length (e.g., the preset length may be a preset number of words), where both the preset length and the special character may be set according to actual requirements.

It should also be understood that the two concepts of the selected content and the first target content are introduced here only for the purpose of distinguishing the previously selected content and the first target content of the user within the first target. Thus, the selected content may be considered as the user-selected content before the first target content is determined. Of course, the selected content can be regarded as the first target content without adjusting the selected content. In other words, the selected content may be the first target content that the user wants to select, and may also be more or less than the first target content.

It should also be understood that the touch operation may include other operations besides a click operation or a long-press operation, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For example, the touch operation may also be a dragging operation, so that the first target content can be selected by dragging the left boundary or the right boundary of the selected content clicked by the user.

Specifically, when the user wants to annotate the first target content, the user may select the first target content by performing a touch operation on the first device. That is, when the user performs a touch operation on content in a display page of an application program of the first device, the first device may select the first target content by receiving an instruction related to the touch operation.

It should be understood that the manner in which the first device determines the first target content according to the touch operation of the user on the first target content may be set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the application is not limited thereto.

Optionally, when the user may perform a long-press operation on a part of content in the display page of the application program of the first device, the first device determines to enter the selection mode of the first target content through an input instruction corresponding to the long-press operation, so that the first device identifies the selected content in the long-press area of the user, and may further output an annotation selection item. That is to say, the first device selects, according to a touch operation of a user on display content in a display page of an application program of the first device, selectable content that can be annotated, where the selectable content is a part of or all of the display content in the page of the application program of the first device. In addition, the selected content may be content selected based on a long-press operation of the user, or may be first target content automatically generated by a user click.

Subsequently, in the case where the first device selects the selection content by a long-press operation, the first device may output the selection item. And under the condition that the first device outputs the annotation selection item, if the current selection content does not accord with the first target content which the user wants to select, the user can adjust the selection content by moving the boundaries (such as the left boundary and the right boundary) of the selection content, so that the first device determines the first target content. That is, the first target content may include content of the user long-pressing area, may be identical to content included in the area after the user long-pressing area is adjusted, may be selected content, and may be identical to content included in the area after the selected content is adjusted.

In addition, in the process of adjusting the selected content by the user, the adjustment of the selected content needs to meet the preset selection rule. That is, the first device determines the first target content according to the user's moving operation on the boundary of the selected content and the preset selection rule.

The first device can be realized by setting a mode that the content which does not accord with the preset selection rule cannot be selected. For example, in a case where the preset selection rule is that the first target content cannot cross a row, the user may only select all or part of the content of a certain row. In the case where the user selects the content of the line, the user cannot select the content of the adjacent line of the line.

Optionally, when the user has a touch operation on the page display content of the application program of the first device, the first device may match an input instruction corresponding to the click operation with an instruction for automatically generating the first target content. The instruction in the first target is automatically generated and is a pre-stored instruction for automatically generating the first target content in the first device, so that the first device can automatically select the first target content according to the instruction for automatically generating the first target content. When the touch operation of the user is a click operation, the first device may determine that an input instruction corresponding to the click operation is successfully matched with an instruction for automatically generating the first target content.

Subsequently, the first device may automatically generate the first target content according to the click zone of the user, wherein the first target content is content containing the click zone clicked by the user. And the automatically generated first target content may also conform to a preset selection rule.

For example, when the page of the application program of the first device displays content of "i go to have a meal, you go to do" and a preset selection rule is that the first target content cannot cross the punctuation, and when the click area of the user is "you", and the first device determines that the operation of the user is a click operation, the first device determines to automatically generate the first target content. When the first device automatically selects the first target content, the first target content automatically generated by the first device is "do you go" because the preset selection rule is that the first target content cannot cross the punctuation.

In addition, after the first device automatically generates the first target content, the first device may automatically pop up the annotation input interface, and may also output the annotation selection item. The annotation selection item can be regarded as a calling item of the annotation input interface, and when the user clicks the annotation selection item, the first device can pop up the annotation input interface.

In the method, whether in the case of an annotation input interface or in the case of outputting an annotation selection item, if the first target content automatically generated currently does not match the target content that the user wants to select, the user can select the first target content that the user wants by moving the boundary of the current first target content.

In addition, in the process of adjusting and selecting the current first target content by the user, the adjustment of the first target content also needs to meet the preset selection rule.

In step S220, the first device obtains a first comment on the first target content input by the user.

Specifically, after the first device determines the first target content, the first device may invoke the annotation input interface through an operation instruction of the user on the annotation selection item, so that the user may input the first annotation on the first target content in the annotation input interface.

It should be understood that, although the manner of invoking the annotation input interface through the operation on the annotation selection item is shown above, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that, in the case of automatically generating the first target content through the click operation of the user, the first device may directly pop up the annotation input interface so that the user does not need to invoke the annotation input interface through the operation on the annotation selection item.

In step S230, the first device sends a first annotation to the first target content to the server.

Specifically, the first device may send the first target content and the first comment to the server, may send the location of the first target content (e.g., an article to which the first target content belongs and a few sentences of a few paragraph in the article) and the first comment to the server, may send the identifier of the application program, the first target content and the first comment to the server, and may send the identifier of the application program, the location of the first target content, and the first comment to the server. That is to say, the manner in which the first device sends the first annotation on the first target content to the server may be set according to actual requirements, as long as it is ensured that the server can determine that the first annotation is the annotation related to the first target content after the server receives the first annotation, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

In step S240, the server receives the first annotation sent by the first device for the first target content.

Specifically, since the application may be run on a plurality of different devices, at a time point when the user annotates the first target content through the first device, there may be other users annotating the first target content through other devices other than the first device. Therefore, the server may receive a third annotation of the first target content sent by a device other than the first device, in addition to the first annotation of the first target content sent by the first device.

Therefore, the server may aggregate the first annotation sent by the first device and the third annotation sent by the other device at the same time point, and determine the aggregated first annotation and third annotation as the second annotation. That is, the second annotation may include a third annotation in addition to the first annotation, where the third annotation is an annotation of the second device to the second target content, and the second target content includes all the content of the first target content, where the second target content is the same as the first target content.

In addition, although the above illustrates the case where the other user annotates the first target content, the other user can annotate the second target content including the partial content of the first target content by another device other than the first device. That is, the second target content may be a part of the first target content, or may be a content in which the second target content overlaps with the first target content.

Thus, after the other device sends the third annotation to the second target content to the server, the server may determine the second annotation based on the first annotation sent by the first device and the third annotation sent by the other device, which are received at the same point in time. The second annotation may include a third annotation, where the third annotation is an annotation of the second device to the second target content, and the second target content includes a partial content of the first target content.

In other words, the server may integrate the first target content and the second target content into one target content, and also integrate the first annotation and the third annotation into one annotation, and then display the first annotation and the third annotation simultaneously in the same page where the first target content and the second target content are located. And, in the event that the user clicks on this merged target content, the first device may display the annotation content of a different user.

For example, in a case where content of "i go to have a meal, you go to do" is displayed in a page of the application, a user a may annotate "eat" through the first device, and the server receives that the first annotation sent by the first device is "eat meal". The other user B can annotate that the user I has eaten through the second device, and the server receives that the third annotation sent by the second device is what you eat. Subsequently, after receiving the first endorsement and the third endorsement, the server can combine the first target content 'eating' and the second target content 'I go to eat' to obtain the combined target content as 'I go to eat', and combine the first endorsement 'eating what' and the third endorsement 'what you eat' to obtain the combined second endorsement as 'what you eat'. Subsequently, when a certain user clicks and marks 'i go to have a meal', a certain device can pop up a secondary page, and the secondary page at least displays that the first annotation of the user A is 'what you eat' and the third annotation of the user B is 'what you eat'.

In step S250, the server sends a second annotation to the first device for the first target content.

Specifically, the server may send the first target content and the second comment to the first device, may also send the location of the first target content and the second comment to the first device, may also send the identifier of the application program, the first target content, and the second comment to the first device, and may also send the identifier of the application program, the location of the first target content, and the second comment to the first device.

That is to say, the sending, by the server, the second annotation to the first target content to the first device may be set according to actual requirements, as long as it can be ensured that after the first device receives the second annotation, the first device can determine that the second annotation is the annotation related to the first target content, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

In step S260, the first device displays the second annotation on the same page where the first target content is located.

Specifically, since the sizes of the display screens of the first devices of different models may be different, after the first device receives the second comment sent by the server, the first device may determine the position of the first target content in the current display screen. The position of the first target content may be a two-dimensional coordinate of the current display screen of the first device where the first target content is located, or may be a few words of a few paragraphs displayed in the current display screen of the first device where the first target content is located, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

After the first device determines the position of the first target content, the first device determines the display position and the display form of the second annotation according to the content of the second annotation and the position of the first target content, and the first device displays the second annotation at the display position according to the display form.

In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiment of the present application, a description is given below of a scheme in which the first device determines a display position and a display form of the second annotation according to the content of the second annotation and the position of the first target content, and the first device displays the second annotation at the display position according to the display form.

After the first device determines the location of the first target content, the first device may calculate the location and size of the area displaying the second annotation. Subsequently, after the first device formats the second annotation (e.g., font type and font size), the first device may determine whether the area displaying the second annotation can completely display the second annotation by the position and size of the area displaying the second annotation. If the area displaying the second annotation can completely display the second annotation, the first device displays the second annotation in the display area of the second annotation. If the area displaying the second annotation cannot completely display the second annotation, the first device may adjust the second annotation according to the size of the display area of the second annotation.

It should be understood that the adjustment of the second annotation by the first device may be set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto. For example, the first device may adjust the format of the second annotation. For another example, the first device may perform a pruning process on the second annotation, wherein pruning refers to deleting the optional text or the minor portion. For another example, when the first device determines that there is already an annotation identical to the second annotation in the annotation of the first target content, the first device may add a corner mark (e.g., +1) in the upper right corner of the annotation of the first target content.

Further, to distinguish the annotated first target content from other non-annotated content, the first device may add an identification (e.g., underlining) to the first target content.

For example, the first device may calculate the size of the area of the current page showing an underline within the first target based on the location of the first target content. After the first device determines the size of the region where the underline is displayed, the first device may set the style of the underline (e.g., the thickness of the line). Finally, the first device displays the underline in the underline display area, and the underline display area is in the same page as the first target content.

It should be understood that, in addition to the manner of underlining above, the identifier of the first target content may also be set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto. The identification may also be, for example, changing the color of the first target content.

In addition, although the process in which the first device displays the second annotation is shown above, the first device may determine in advance whether the first target content already has a previous annotation in the process in which the first device displays the second annotation.

If the first device determines that the first annotation is a new annotation of the first target content, that is, the first target content does not have any annotated content before, the first device may display the second annotation in the same page where the first target content is located according to the above method.

If the first device determines that the first target content already has the previous annotation, the first device may determine whether to display the second annotation in the same page where the first target content is located according to the attribute information of the previous annotation of the first target content. Wherein the attribute information of the previous annotation of the first target content includes but is not limited to: the number of endorsements of previous endorsements, the publication time of previous endorsements.

It should be understood that the attribute information of the previous annotation may be set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

It should also be understood that the specific implementation manner of the first device determining whether to display the second annotation in the same page as the first target content according to the attribute information of the previous annotation of the first target content may be set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiment of the present application, a description is given below, by way of a specific embodiment, of a step in which the first device may determine whether to display the second annotation in the same page where the first target content is located, by using attribute information of a previous annotation of the first target content.

The first device may determine in advance whether a time difference between the current time and the publication time of the previous annotation is within a preset time range. If the time difference is within the preset time range, the first device determines that the previous annotation is valid. If the time difference is out of the preset time range, the first device determines that the previous annotation is invalid, and the first device displays a second annotation in the same page where the first target content is located. That is, each annotation is time sensitive.

In addition, in the case that the time difference is within the preset time range, the first device may determine how to display again by determining the number of endorsements of the previous endorsements. And if the praise number of the previous annotations is less than 2, the first equipment displays the second annotations in the same page where the first target content is located. And if the praise number of the previous postings is more than or equal to 2, the praise number of the second postings is the minimum, and the first device displays the postings with the highest praise number in the same page where the first target content is located.

It should be understood that the preset time range may be set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

In addition, under the condition that the second annotations are not displayed in the same page where the first target content is located, the first device may place the second annotations into a second-level page where a preset number of annotations are displayed, where the second-level page may be a new page where the user clicks the first target content to pop up, and the preset number of annotations are displayed in the new page. The preset number can be set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the application is not limited to this.

It should be understood that, in the case that the number of the annotations of the first target content is large, the secondary page here still cannot display all the annotations of the first target content, and thus the tertiary page may be set to implement. The third-level page can be regarded as a page which is popped up by the first device and displays all annotations corresponding to the first target content after the user clicks the expansion option of the second-level page, and the second-level page can display the annotations with a large number of praise (or the number of praise exceeds a threshold).

In addition, although the step of displaying the second annotation by the first device is described above, when a certain page displays many annotations, the user may hide all the annotations by a preset operation of the first device in order to improve the reading experience of the user.

It should be understood that the preset operation may be set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

For example, in a case that the preset operation is pan, the first device may hide all annotations in the current page of the first device by obtaining an operation instruction corresponding to the pan, that is, only an underline of the target content exists in the first device at this time. Subsequently, the user can view the annotations related to the target content by clicking on the target content or shaking again.

In addition, after the user sends the first annotation through the first device, the user can delete the annotation which is published before through the first device.

It should also be understood that, although the above steps S210 to S260 show the display process of the second annotation, a person skilled in the art should understand that, in the case that the user does not publish the annotation through the first device, the user may obtain the annotation published by other users by refreshing the current page (for example, pulling down the current page), and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the method of displaying annotations is described below by specific examples.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a specific flowchart illustrating a method for displaying annotations according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method shown in fig. 3 includes:

in step S310, the first device determines a first target content.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 shows a flowchart of step S310 in the embodiment of the present application, and the method of step S310 shown in fig. 4 includes:

step S411, user interaction behavior. That is to say, the first device obtains the relevant instruction of the touch operation according to the touch operation of the user.

In step S412, it is determined whether the mode is currently selected. The selection mode may refer to that the user has selected the first target content, or may refer to that the user has selected the selected content displayed in the page of the application program, that is, the selection mode indicates that the user has selected the content, where the content may be the first target content that the user wants to select, or may be more or less than the first target content. In case the first device determines that the current mode is the selected mode, step S413 is performed. In case the first device determines that the current mode is not the selected mode, step S417 is performed.

Step S413, determining whether the user is changing the selection area, wherein changing the selection area may also become changing the selection content. The first device may determine whether the user is changing the selection area by determining whether the user performs a drag operation (or a move operation) on a boundary of the selected content. If the first device determines that the user is not changing the selection, step S414 is performed. If the first device determines that the user is changing the selection area, step S415.

Step S414 exits the selection mode. That is, in the event that it is determined that the user has not changed the selection area, the first device exits the selection mode.

In step S415, a new selection area is calculated according to a preset selection rule. That is to say, the first device determines the selected content after the user moves according to the user's moving operation on the selected content and the preset selection rule.

In step S416, the selected content is changed. That is, the first device may adjust the selected content by a drag operation of the user. For example, in a case where the application shows a content of "i go to eat, you go" and the selected content in step S414 may be "eat", the selected content may be adjusted to "go to eat" through step S415 and step S416.

In step S417, it is determined whether the user is a long press operation. In the case where it is determined that the user is the long press operation, step S418 is performed. In the case where it is determined that the user is not the long press operation, step S423.

In step S418, the selection mode is entered.

Step S419, generating a selection area according to a preset selection rule. That is, the user may select the selection area by moving the boundary of the selection content.

In step S420, it is determined whether the user continues the dragging. In the case where it is determined that the user continues the dragging, step S421 is performed. In the case where it is determined that the user does not continue the dragging, step S426 is performed.

In step S421, a new selection area is calculated according to a preset selection rule.

Step S422, the content of the selected area is changed. After step S422 is performed, the process may return to step S420.

Step S423, determining whether the interactive behavior is bound in the click area. Here, the binding of interactive behavior can be understood as whether there is a link. For example, the link may be a link of an email or a link of a web page, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

In case that it is determined that the interactive behavior is bound to the click zone, step S424 is performed. In case it is determined that the clicked area does not bind the interactive behavior, step S425 is performed.

Step S424, triggering the interactive behavior of the binding. For example, in the case of a link to a bound interactive activity web page, when the user clicks on this link, then the first device opens the web page.

Step S425, triggering a fast annotation action. That is, the user may perform automatic selection of the first target content (or the selected content) through a touch operation of clicking.

Step S426, the interaction ends. Here, the interaction end may be the end of step S310, the start of step S320, or the exit from the annotation mode.

In step S320, the first device obtains the first annotation.

The process of step S320 can be referred to the related description of step S220 in fig. 2 and will not be described here.

In step S330, the first device displays the second annotation.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 shows a flowchart of step S330 in the embodiment of the present application, and the method of step S330 shown in fig. 5 includes:

step S511, acquires the second annotation from the server.

In step S512, the position of the first target content is determined.

Step S513, draw the second annotation.

Step S514, determining the position and size of the area displaying the second annotation according to the position of the first target content.

Step S515, the style of the second annotation is set.

Step S516, performing processing such as deleting or adding a corner mark to the second annotation according to the position and size of the region displaying the second annotation.

And step S517, drawing the second annotation.

In step S518, the position and size of the underlined display region of the first target content are determined according to the position of the first target content.

In step S519, the style of underlining is set.

In step S520, an underline is drawn.

Step S521, commits the drawing transaction. That is, the two steps of step S517 and step S520 may be implemented in parallel, that is, during the process of drawing the second annotation, the drawing of underlining may also be performed.

In step S522, the drawing is completed.

As shown in fig. 3, in the process of executing step S330, step S340 may also be executed. Of course, step S340 and step S310 may be executed after step S330 is executed.

And step S340, interacting based on the annotation content. Wherein. The interaction based on the annotation content comprises that different users can annotate the same first target content, display the second annotation and delete the annotation.

It should be understood that the interaction type of interaction based on the annotation content may also be set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

It should also be understood that the above-described method of displaying annotations is merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art may make various modifications according to the above-described method.
