Fig. 1 shows a method for providing novel reading information at a network device according to an aspect of the present application, where the method includes step S101, step S102, step S103, and step S104.

Specifically, in step S101, the network device receives a reading request about a target novel sent by the user device, where the reading request includes identification information of a target novel chapter in the target novel. In some embodiments, a user reads novels by reading online, requests to load content information of one or more target novel chapters in a target novel by sending a reading request to a corresponding network device, and the network device returns one or more target chapter information including target background information to the user based on the reading request. In some embodiments, the reading request is sent to the network device by the user device based on the behavior of the user entering the reading page, for example, the user device sends a reading request about the target novel a to the network device by detecting an operation of the user to open the target novel a in the reading application, and the reading request includes identification information of a target novel chapter in the target novel a. In some embodiments, the reading request includes identification information of a target novel chapter in the target novel a, for example, identification information of a target novel chapter that the user is currently reading; in some embodiments, the reading request includes identification information of a plurality of target novel chapters in the target novel a, for example, a button for adding background information is provided in the reading application, and if the button is in an on state, when the user opens one novel B in the reading application for the first time, the reading request about the target novel B is sent to the network device, and the reading request includes identification information of all target novel chapters in the target novel B. In some embodiments, the identification information of the target novel chapter includes, but is not limited to, a name of a target novel to which the target novel chapter belongs, a name of the target novel chapter, a chapter number, and the like, so that the network device finds the target novel chapter corresponding to the identification information in the novel database.

In step S102, the network device obtains the target novel chapter and target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter from a novel database according to the identification information of the target novel chapter, where the target background information matches with the scene information of the target novel chapter. In some embodiments, a novel database is provided in the network device, and the network device queries and acquires the target novel chapter and the target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter in the novel database according to the identification information of the target novel chapter. For example, the novel database includes a plurality of mapping relationships, each mapping relationship is used for binding a novel chapter and background information corresponding to the novel chapter, for example, the novel chapter a is a chapter describing the home palace, and the background information corresponding to the novel chapter a includes a picture about the home palace. In some embodiments, the network device queries the target novel chapter in the novel database according to the identification information of the target novel chapter in the received reading request, and acquires target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the foregoing background information is by way of example only, and that other background information, present or later, which may be available to or used in the present application, is also encompassed within the scope of the present application and is hereby incorporated by reference. For example, in some embodiments, the context information mapped with the novel section includes video information, or the context information mapped with the novel section a includes a plurality of context information, and the network device may randomly determine one of the plurality of context information.

In step S103, the network device adds the target context information to the target novel chapter to update the target novel chapter. In some embodiments, the network device updates the target novel section by adding the target context information to the target novel section to return the target novel section including the target context information to the user device. In some embodiments, the network device directly implants the target background information into the target novel chapter, for example, the target background information is a picture, and the picture is implanted into the target novel chapter at the network device side; in some embodiments, the adding means comprises: the network device binds the target background information and the target novel chapter and then sends the target background information and the target novel chapter to the user device, so that the target background information is loaded while the user device loads the target novel chapter, for example, the target background information is video information, and the target novel chapter and the target background information are loaded at the user device side.

In step S104, the network device sends the updated target novel chapter to the user equipment. In some embodiments, the network device sends the updated target novel chapter to the user device, and the updated target novel chapter includes corresponding target background information, so that the novel chapter including the background information is provided for the user, and the reading experience of the user is improved.

For example, a user a downloads a reading application Z installed in a mobile phone, and the reading application Z includes a novel a in a bookshelf. The user a reads online through the reading application Z. When the user a opens the novel a, a reading request about the target novel a is sent to a corresponding network device (for example, a server corresponding to the reading application Z). For example, the target novel a enters a novel chapter h (e.g., a first chapter) read by the user a last time when being opened, and the user device corresponding to the user a sends a reading request about the target novel a to the network device, where the reading request includes identification information of the target novel chapter h in the target novel a. The network equipment queries and acquires the target novel chapter h and target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter h in a novel database according to the identification information of the target novel chapter h, adds the target background information to the target novel chapter h to update the target novel chapter h, and sends the updated target novel chapter h to user equipment corresponding to the user a. For example, referring to the effect diagram shown in fig. 6, the target novel chapter is a chapter about the story palace, the network device queries the target novel chapter in the story database according to the identification information of the target novel chapter in the reading request (e.g., "shout of forbidden city)", searches for target background information (e.g., picture information about the story palace) corresponding to the target novel chapter based on the mapping relationship in the story database, adds the target background information to the target novel chapter to update the target novel chapter, and sends the updated target novel chapter to the user device, as shown in fig. 6, the target novel chapter with the target background information added is presented on the user device side. In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 8, the target background information includes picture information and audio information, the network device adds the picture information and the audio information to the target novel chapter and sends the target novel chapter with the added background information to the user device, and the user device receives and presents the updated target novel chapter (as shown in fig. 8, the picture information is presented in the text of the target novel chapter, a play button is added in the upper right corner of the target novel chapter, and the user can play or close the playing of the audio information by clicking the button, or in some embodiments, the user device directly plays the audio information). In this embodiment, the network device adds target background information to a target novel chapter in the target novel in response to a reading request sent by the user device about the target novel, the user device receives the updated target novel chapter returned by the network device, the target background information is matched with the target novel chapter, and the user in reading is brought into a scene described by the target novel chapter through the target background information, so as to improve the reading experience of the user.

In some embodiments, the step S101 includes: the network equipment receives a reading request which is sent by user equipment in response to the reading operation of a user on a target novel and is about the target novel, wherein the reading request comprises identification information of a target novel chapter in the target novel. In some embodiments, the reading request requesting the network device to add the target background information to the target novel chapter is sent based on a reading operation of the user, and the reading operation triggers the network device to add the corresponding target background information to the target novel chapter online.

In some embodiments, the user reading the target novel includes any one of:

(1) and starting operation of the user on the target novel. For example, when a user opens a target novel in a reading application, a user device corresponding to the user sends a reading request about the target novel to a corresponding network device. In some embodiments, the reading application is provided with a button for turning on or off the adding of the background information, and when the button is in an on state, based on the turning on operation of the target novel by the user, the user equipment sends a reading request about the target novel to the corresponding network equipment so as to request the network equipment to return the target novel chapter added with the target background information. In some embodiments, the function may also be a function that the reading application is turned on by default, and when the user opens the target novel in the reading application, the user equipment sends a reading request about the target novel to the network equipment to request the network equipment to return the target novel chapter added with the target background information.

(2) And the user performs chapter refreshing operation on the target novel. For example, if reading of the next chapter is entered based on the page turning operation of the user, the user device sends a reading request about the target novel to the corresponding network device in response to the chapter refreshing operation, where the reading request includes identification information of the target novel chapter (e.g., the next chapter). In this embodiment, the user equipment detects in real time whether the user enters reading of the next chapter based on a page turning operation of the user on the target novel, and if so, sends a reading request to the network equipment to request the network equipment to return the content of the next chapter added with the target background information. For example, referring to the effect diagram shown in fig. 7, the user device detects a reading operation of the user on the target novel, and if the user enters the next chapter (for example, enters the second chapter shown in fig. 7 from the first chapter shown in fig. 6) based on the page turning operation of the user, sends a reading request to the network device to request the network device to return the target novel chapter (for example, the second chapter) including the target background information.

In some embodiments, the user reading a target novel comprises: the chapter refreshing operation of the user on the target novel is carried out; wherein the step S101 includes: the network equipment receives a reading request which is sent by user equipment in response to the chapter refreshing operation of the user on the target novel and is about the target novel, wherein the reading request comprises identification information of a target novel chapter in the target novel, and the target novel chapter corresponds to the chapter refreshing operation. In some embodiments, in response to a page-turning operation by a user, if the user enters reading of a next chapter, the chapter content with background information added to it still needs to be provided to the user. For example, the user equipment detects whether the user enters reading of a next chapter or not in response to page turning operation of the user on the target novel, and if so, sends a reading request to the network equipment, wherein the reading request includes identification information of the next chapter (target novel chapter), so that the network equipment can search the target novel chapter and target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter in a novel database according to the identification information.

In some embodiments, the method further includes step S105 (not shown), in step S105, the network device establishes or updates a mapping relationship between the novel sections and the context information, where the context information corresponding to each novel section in the mapping relationship matches the scene information of the novel section; wherein the step S102 includes: the network equipment acquires the target novel chapter from a novel database according to the identification information of the target novel chapter; and the network equipment inquires and determines target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter in the mapping relation according to the identification information of the target novel chapter, wherein the target background information is matched with the scene information of the target novel chapter. In some embodiments, the network device determines the target context information corresponding to the target novel section by establishing or updating a mapping relationship between the novel section and the context information, where the novel section and the context information corresponding to the novel section in each mapping relationship are matched, for example, the context information is matched with the context information of the novel section, and the context information includes, but is not limited to, "travel," "shopping," "summer," "war," and the like. For example, if the network device resolves the scene information described by the novel section as "summer", the network device searches the background information about summer from the background information base, and binds the novel section with the background information to form a mapping relationship between the novel section and the background information. Further, the network device queries the target novel chapter in a novel database (for example, the novel database includes novel chapters in multiple novel chapters, and each novel chapter is identified and marked by identification information) according to the identification information of the target novel chapter in the reading request, and searches for target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter in a mapping relationship which is established or updated in advance according to the identification information of the target novel chapter. In this embodiment, by binding the novel chapters and the background information corresponding to the novel chapters in advance, the target background information corresponding to the target novel chapters can be quickly located in the subsequent query, and the computing time of the device is saved.

In some embodiments, the establishing or updating a mapping relationship between novel sections and background information, where the background information corresponding to each novel section in the mapping relationship matches the scene information of the novel section includes: receiving a background generation request which is sent by user equipment and is about reading novel, wherein the background generation request comprises identification information of the reading novel; inquiring in a novel database according to the identification information of the reading novel to obtain the reading novel; determining scene information of each novel chapter in the reading novel; and performing matching query in a background information base according to the scene information of each novel chapter in the reading novel to obtain background information matched with the scene information of each novel chapter in the reading novel, and establishing or updating the mapping relation between each novel chapter in the reading novel and the background information corresponding to the novel chapter. In some embodiments, the establishment or update of the mapping relationship between the novel sections and the background information is performed based on a background generation request sent by a user, for example, a user device sends a background generation request to a corresponding network device in response to an operation of starting a reading application by the user (e.g., opening the reading application, entering a detail page, adding the novel to a bookshelf, unlocking a payment section, and the like), wherein the background generation request includes identification information (e.g., a novel number, a name, and the like) of the reading novel to generate the background information corresponding to each novel section in the novel sections of the reading novel in advance. For example, the network device queries and acquires the reading novel a in the novel database according to the identification information of the reading novel a in the background generation request, and the network device analyzes the scene information of each novel chapter in the reading novel a. In some embodiments, the network device parses the scene information for each novel section by extracting keywords (e.g., travel, merchandise, sights, etc.) for that novel section. The method includes the steps that background information matched with the scene information is inquired in a background information base along with the scene information of the novel chapter, for example, the background information base comprises a plurality of pieces of background information (for example, pictures, animations, video information, audio information and the like), each piece of background information has identification information (for example, tourism, commodities, scenic spots and the like), the network device determines the background information corresponding to the scene information according to the matching degree between the scene information and the identification information of the background information in the background information base, and the inquired and determined background information is bound with the novel chapter so as to establish a mapping relation between the novel chapter and the background information. In this embodiment, based on a background generation request sent by a user, the background information corresponding to each novel chapter is queried and matched in advance for the reading novel of the user, and a mapping relationship between the novel chapter and the background information is established, so that the calculation time of network equipment is saved in subsequent query determination, and the target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter is quickly and effectively found.

In some embodiments, the step S102 includes: the network equipment acquires the target novel chapter from a novel database according to the identification information of the target novel chapter; the network equipment determines scene information of the target novel chapter; and the network equipment performs matching query in a background information base according to the scene information of the target novel chapter to obtain background information matched with the scene information of the target novel chapter, and the background information is used as target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter. In some embodiments, the network device provides the user with the target novel section to which the target background information is added in real time based on a reading request sent by the user device about the target novel. For example, the network device queries and acquires the target novel chapter from the novel database according to the identification information of the target novel chapter in the reading request, and analyzes the scene information of the target novel chapter in a manner of extracting the keyword. Further, target background information corresponding to the scene information is inquired and matched in a background information base according to the scene information. For introduction of matching context information in the context information base according to the context information, please refer to the above embodiments, which are not described herein. Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the above-mentioned operations of querying the context information according to the novel section are only examples, and other operations that may occur now or later are also included in the scope of the present application and are included by reference.

According to one aspect of the present application, there is provided a method for providing novel reading information, the method being implemented based on the topology shown in fig. 2. Referring to fig. 3, the method includes the steps of:

The following describes in detail specific embodiments of the present application from the perspective of a user equipment and a server, respectively.

Fig. 4 shows a method for providing novel reading information at a user equipment according to an embodiment of the present application, which includes step S201, step S202, and step S203.

Specifically, in step S201, the user equipment sends a background information request to a corresponding server in response to a reading operation of a user on a target novel, where the background information request includes identification information of a target novel chapter in the target novel. For example, the target novel is downloaded in the user equipment, and the reading operation includes, but is not limited to, a starting operation of opening the target novel by the user. The user device sends a background information request to a corresponding server in response to an operation of the user to open the target novel. In some embodiments, the context information request includes identification information of a target novel chapter in the target novel, e.g., identification information of a target novel chapter that the user is currently reading; in some embodiments, the reading request includes identification information of a plurality of target novel chapters in the target novel, for example, a button for requesting to add context information is provided in the reading application, and if the button is in an on state, when the user opens one novel B in the user equipment for the first time, a context information request about the target novel B is sent to the server, where the context information request includes identification information of all target novel chapters in the target novel B. In some embodiments, the identification information of the target novel chapter includes, but is not limited to, a name of a target novel to which the target novel chapter belongs, a name of the target novel chapter, a chapter number, and the like, so that the server can find the target novel chapter corresponding to the identification information in the novel database.

In step S202, the user equipment receives target context information returned by the server based on the context information request, where the target context information matches with the scene information of the target novel chapter. In some embodiments, the server queries for identifying information of the target novel section to determine target background information that matches the scene information of the target novel section. For example, the server finds the target novel chapter in a novel database according to the identification information of the target novel chapter, analyzes the scene information of the target novel chapter, further queries background information matched with the scene information in a background information base (for example, the background information base comprises a plurality of pieces of background information, and each piece of background information is marked by the identification information such as "travel", "sight", "commodity") according to the scene information (for example, "travel", "sight", "commodity"), and determines the background information as the target background information. Further, the server returns the target background information matched with the query to the user equipment.

In step S203, the user equipment updates and presents the target novel section of the target novel, wherein the updated target novel section includes the target background information. For example, after receiving the target context information returned by the server, the user equipment adds the target context information to the target novel chapter so as to update and present the target novel chapter including the target context information.

For example, a user a opens a target novel a downloaded from a user device (e.g., an electronic reading device), and the user a opens the target novel a and then directly enters a last reading page, where the reading page belongs to a first chapter of the target novel a, and the first chapter is taken as a target novel chapter. And the user equipment responds to the reading operation and sends a background information request to a corresponding server, wherein the background information request comprises the identification information of the target novel chapter. Further, the user equipment receives target background information which is returned by the server and matches with the scene information of the target novel chapter, for example, the target novel chapter is a chapter about the home position, and then the target background information may be picture information of the home position and may also be video information about the home position. Presented at the user equipment side is the target novel chapter including the target background information, for example, see the effect diagram shown in fig. 6, and the user equipment adds the target background information to the target novel chapter based on the received target background information (e.g., the picture of the home palace). .

In some embodiments, the user reading the target novel includes any one of:

(1) and starting operation of the user on the target novel. For example, when a user opens a target novel in a user device, the user device sends a background information request about the target novel to a corresponding server. In some embodiments, the user equipment is provided with a button for turning on or off the adding of the background information, and when the button is in an on state, based on the turning-on operation of the user on the target novel, the user equipment sends a background information request about the target novel to a corresponding server to request the server to return the corresponding target background information. In some embodiments, the function may also be a function that is turned on by default by the user equipment, and when the user opens the target novel in the user equipment, the user equipment sends a background information request about the target novel to the server to request the server to return corresponding target background information.

(2) And the user performs chapter refreshing operation on the target novel. For example, if the user enters reading of the next chapter based on the page-turning operation of the user, the user device sends a background information request about the target novel to the corresponding server in response to the chapter refresh operation, where the background information request includes identification information of the target novel chapter (e.g., the next chapter). In this embodiment, the user equipment detects in real time whether the user enters reading of a next chapter based on a page turning operation of the user on the target novel, and if so, sends a background information request to the server to request the server to return target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter (for example, the next chapter). For example, referring to the effect diagram shown in fig. 7, the user device detects a reading operation of the user on the target novel, and if the user enters the next chapter (for example, enters the second chapter shown in fig. 7 from the first chapter shown in fig. 6) based on the page turning operation of the user, sends a background information request to the server to request the server to return the corresponding target background information (for example, the background information of the second chapter).

In some embodiments, the user reading a target novel comprises: the chapter refreshing operation of the user on the target novel is carried out; the step S201 includes: the user equipment detects chapter refreshing operation of the user on the target novel; and the user equipment responds to the chapter refreshing operation and sends background request information to a corresponding server, wherein the background information request comprises identification information of a target novel chapter in the target novel, and the target novel chapter corresponds to the chapter refreshing operation. The method comprises the steps that user equipment determines whether a user enters reading of a next chapter or not by detecting page turning operation of the user on a target novel in real time, if yes, the page turning operation is determined to be chapter refreshing operation, a background information request is sent to a corresponding server in response to the chapter refreshing operation, wherein the background information request comprises identification information of the target novel chapter (such as the next chapter) so as to request the server to return target background information corresponding to the next chapter.

Fig. 5 shows a method for providing novel reading information at a server according to an embodiment of the present application, which includes step S301, step S302, and step S303.

Specifically, in step S301, the server receives a context information request about a target novel sent by the user equipment, wherein the context information request includes identification information of a target novel chapter in the target novel. For example, the target novel is downloaded in the user equipment, and the reading operation includes, but is not limited to, a starting operation of opening the target novel by the user. The user device sends a background information request to a corresponding server in response to an operation of the user to open the target novel. In some embodiments, the context information request includes identification information of a target novel chapter in the target novel, e.g., identification information of a target novel chapter that the user is currently reading; in some embodiments, the reading request includes identification information of a plurality of target novel chapters in the target novel, for example, a button for requesting to add context information is provided in the reading application, and if the button is in an on state, when the user opens one novel B in the user equipment for the first time, a context information request about the target novel B is sent to the server, where the context information request includes identification information of all target novel chapters in the target novel B. In some embodiments, the identification information of the target novel chapter includes, but is not limited to, a name of a target novel to which the target novel chapter belongs, a name of the target novel chapter, a chapter number, and the like, so that the server can find the target novel chapter corresponding to the identification information in the novel database.

In step S302, the server queries and acquires target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter according to the identification information of the target novel chapter, where the target background information is matched with the scene information of the target novel chapter. In some embodiments, a mapping relationship between a novel chapter and background information is established in a server, and the server queries, according to identification information of a target novel chapter in a background information request sent by user equipment, background information corresponding to the target novel chapter from a plurality of mapping relationships established in the server, and returns the background information serving as the target background information to the user equipment.

In step S303, the server returns the target context information to the user equipment. In some embodiments, the server queries for identifying information of the target novel section to determine target background information that matches the scene information of the target novel section. For example, the server finds the target novel chapter in a novel database according to the identification information of the target novel chapter, analyzes the scene information of the target novel chapter, further queries background information matched with the scene information in a background information base (for example, the background information base comprises a plurality of pieces of background information, and each piece of background information is marked by the identification information such as "travel", "sight", "commodity") according to the scene information (for example, "travel", "sight", "commodity"), and determines the background information as the target background information. Further, the server returns the target background information matched with the query to the user equipment.

In some embodiments, the method further includes step S304 (not shown), in step S304, the server establishes or updates a mapping relationship between the novel sections and the background information, where the background information corresponding to each novel section in the mapping relationship matches the scene information of the novel section; wherein the step S302 includes: and the server inquires and determines target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter in the mapping relation according to the identification information of the target novel chapter, wherein the target background information is matched with the scene information of the target novel chapter. In some embodiments, the server determines the target background information corresponding to the target novel section by establishing or updating a mapping relationship between the novel section and the background information, where the novel section and the background information corresponding to the novel section in each mapping relationship are matched, for example, the background information is matched with the scene information of the novel section, and the scene information includes, but is not limited to, "travel," "shopping," "summer," "war," and the like. For example, if the server resolves the scene information described by the novel chapter into "summer", the server searches the background information about summer from the background information base and binds the novel chapter and the background information to form a mapping relationship between the novel chapter and the background information. Further, the server queries and determines the target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter in the mapping relationship according to the identification information of the target novel chapter in the background information request. In this embodiment, by binding the novel chapters and the background information corresponding to the novel chapters in advance, the target background information corresponding to the target novel chapters can be quickly located in the subsequent query, and the computing time of the device is saved.

In some embodiments, the server establishes or updates a mapping relationship between the novel sections and the background information, where the background information corresponding to each novel section in the mapping relationship matches the scene information of the novel section, including: the method comprises the steps that a server receives a background generation request about reading novel sent by user equipment, wherein the background generation request comprises identification information of the reading novel; the server queries and acquires the reading novel in a novel database according to the identification information of the reading novel; the server determines scene information of all novel chapters in the reading novel; and the server carries out matching query in a background information base according to the scene information of each novel chapter in the reading novel to obtain the background information matched with the scene information of each novel chapter in the reading novel, and establishes or updates the mapping relation between each novel chapter in the reading novel and the background information corresponding to the novel chapter. In some embodiments, the establishment or update of the mapping relationship between the novel sections and the background information is performed based on a background generation request sent by a user, for example, the user device sends a background generation request to a corresponding server in response to an operation of the user device started by the user (for example, entering a novel detail page, adding the novel to a bookshelf, unlocking a payment section, and the like), and the background generation request includes identification information (for example, a novel number, a name, and the like) of a reading novel so as to generate the background information corresponding to each novel section in the reading novel sections in advance. For example, the server queries and acquires the reading novel a in a novel database according to the identification information of the reading novel a in the background generation request, and the server analyzes the scene information of each novel chapter in the reading novel a. In some embodiments, the server parses the scene information for each novel section by extracting keywords (e.g., travel, merchandise, sight, etc.) for that novel section. The method includes the steps that background information matched with the scene information is inquired in a background information base along with the scene information of the novel chapter, for example, the background information base comprises a plurality of pieces of background information (such as pictures, animations, video information, audio information and the like), each piece of background information has identification information (such as tourism, commodities, scenic spots and the like), the server determines the background information corresponding to the scene information according to the matching degree between the scene information and the identification information of the background information in the background information base, and the inquired and determined background information is bound with the novel chapter so as to establish a mapping relation between the novel chapter and the background information. In this embodiment, based on a background generation request sent by a user, the background information corresponding to each novel chapter is queried and matched in advance for the reading novel of the user, and a mapping relationship between the novel chapter and the background information is established, so that the calculation time of network equipment is saved in subsequent query determination, and the target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter is quickly and effectively found.

In some embodiments, the step S302 includes: the server acquires the target novel chapter from a novel database according to the identification information of the target novel chapter; the server determines scene information of the target novel chapter; and the server performs matching query in a background information base according to the scene information of the target novel chapter to obtain background information matched with the scene information of the target novel chapter, and the background information is used as target background information corresponding to the target novel chapter. In some embodiments, the server provides the user with the target novel section to which the target background information is added in real time based on a reading request sent by the user device about the target novel. For example, the server queries and acquires the target novel chapter from the novel database according to the identification information of the target novel chapter in the background information request, and analyzes the scene information of the target novel chapter in a manner of extracting the keyword. Further, target background information corresponding to the scene information is inquired and matched in a background information base according to the scene information. For introduction of matching context information in the context information base according to the context information, please refer to the above embodiments, which are not described herein. Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the above-mentioned operations of querying the context information according to the novel section are only examples, and other operations that may occur now or later are also included in the scope of the present application and are included by reference.

The user equipment detects the behavior that a user starts a reading application to acquire the identification information of a user reading novel (such as a target novel), and sends a background generation request to the server. The server searches chapter content of the novel according to the acquired identification information of the user reading novel (for example, a target novel chapter is searched in a novel database), analyzes scene information described by the content of each chapter of the novel, generates background information corresponding to each chapter based on the scene information, adds a background image (background information) corresponding to each chapter (for example, the novel chapter) into the reading novel, and packages the background image to generate the reading novel including the scene background image (for example, each novel chapter and the corresponding background information are bound to form a mapping relation between the novel chapter and the background information). When the user device detects that the user enters a reading behavior (such as a reading operation) of a reading page, a reading chapter (such as a target novel chapter) content loading request (such as a reading request about a target novel) is sent to the server. The server acquires content information of a current reading chapter, wherein the content information of the reading chapter comprises a background image corresponding to a content description scene (for example, target background information is added into a target novel chapter). The server sends the content information of the current reading chapter (such as the target novel chapter added with the target background information) to the user equipment. The reading application of the user equipment loads the content information of the current reading chapter and displays a background map (such as target background information) corresponding to the content description scene. Further, the user equipment detects the reading behavior of the user entering the reading page, and repeats the above process if the user enters the next chapter (for example, chapter refreshing operation) (for example, the user equipment sends a reading request to the server to request the server to return a target novel chapter including target background information).
