Technical Field

The application belongs to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to a message display method and electronic equipment.

Background

With the continuous progress of science and technology, more and more application operations can be realized by terminals such as mobile phones and tablet computers. For example, the application operation that the user can perform with the mobile phone may be playing a game, listening to music, watching a video, and the like. At present, when a user performs application operation on a terminal, the terminal often enters a full-screen state, so that a game interface or video content occupies the whole screen. But other applications are running in the background and will continue to keep the function of pushing messages, for example, when a contact of the instant messaging application sends a message, the message sent by the contact is displayed on the screen in the landscape state.

In the process of implementing the application, the inventor finds that when a game and a video enter a full-screen state, a rectangular dialog box (as shown in fig. 1) pops up above a transverse screen of a mobile phone to display a message sent by a contact person, and the message sent by the contact person is contained in the rectangular dialog box. However, at this time, the user is playing games in full concentration, or concentrating on watching the mobile phone screen to watch videos, a sudden message occupies a certain space of the screen, which may possibly block important pictures in the games or videos, so that the user cannot read all information on the pictures in the games, which results in failure to exert the real strength of the user, or omit some important pictures or details when watching the videos, thereby reducing the experience of the user when using the mobile phone in full screen.

Therefore, the display mode of the message in the prior art may block important pictures in the screen.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It will be appreciated that the data so used may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances such that embodiments of the application may be practiced in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein, and that the terms "first," "second," and the like are generally used herein in a generic sense and do not limit the number of terms, e.g., the first term can be one or more than one. In addition, "and/or" in the specification and claims means at least one of connected objects, a character "/" generally means that a preceding and succeeding related objects are in an "or" relationship.

The message display method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a message display method, which may include the following steps:

step 201: when the electronic equipment receives the message, at least one candidate display area in a target page displayed by the electronic equipment is obtained.

Wherein the candidate display area is an area outside a display area of a subject object in the target page. The candidate display area is an area for displaying a message. The subject object in the target page includes at least one object, that is, one or more subject objects in one page may be provided.

In addition, the message may be a push message of an application program, or may be an instant messaging message. The target page is a page displayed when the electronic equipment receives the message.

In addition, the process of acquiring at least one candidate display area in the target page displayed by the electronic device may include:

determining at least one display area in the predetermined target page as a candidate display area;

or

Acquiring a region except a display region of a main body object in a target page to serve as a region to be processed;

and dividing at least one candidate display area from the area to be processed.

It can be seen that the candidate display areas may be predetermined, or may be divided according to the page content of the page displayed at that time when the message is received.

Step 202: displaying the message in a target area.

Wherein the target area comprises at least one of the candidate display areas.

As seen in step 202, the message may be displayed in at least one of the candidate display areas present in the target page. E.g., 4 candidate display areas exist in the destination page, the message may be displayed in 1, 2, 3, or 4 candidate display areas.

In addition, one candidate display area may be regarded as one message box, and then one message may be displayed in a plurality of message boxes in the embodiment of the application, and the plurality of message boxes are in an area outside the display area of the main object of the target page, so that the display of the main object is not obstructed.

As can be seen from the above, in the message display method in the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device receives a message, at least one candidate display area in a target page displayed by the electronic device can be acquired, so that the message is displayed in at least one candidate display area in the candidate display areas existing in the target page, where the candidate display area is located in an area outside a display area of a main object in the target page. Therefore, the message pair display method in the embodiment of the application can display the message in the region outside the display region of the main object in the target page, and can display the message by dividing the message into a plurality of regions, so that the blocking of the message on the important picture on the target page can be reduced to a certain extent.

In particular, when a message is received during the full screen display of the electronic device, the message is often displayed in a rectangular frame above the horizontal screen in the prior art, as shown in fig. 1. This display may block important frames in the full screen interface.

In this embodiment of the present application, when the target page is a full-screen display page, the main object on the page occupies more display areas, but in this embodiment of the present application, at least one candidate display area may be set in an area outside the display area of the main object in the full-screen display page, and a message is displayed in the at least one candidate display area (as shown in fig. 3). Therefore, compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the application can disperse messages for display, so that the messages are not limited to be displayed in one message frame, the display area of a single message frame can be prevented from extending to the display area of an important picture in the page to a certain extent, and the problem that the message blocks the important picture in the current display page of the electronic equipment when the message is displayed in a full screen mode is solved to a certain extent.

Optionally, the step of displaying the message in the target area includes:

when the number of the candidate display areas is larger than or equal to 2, splitting the message into M sub-messages according to the area of each candidate display area in the target page, wherein M is smaller than or equal to N, N represents the number of the candidate display areas in the target page, and M and N are both positive integers;

and displaying the ith sub-message in the ith candidate display area in the target page, wherein M is more than or equal to i and more than or equal to 1, and i is an integer.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the message can be split according to the area of the candidate display area existing in the target page, so that one sub-message obtained by splitting is displayed in one candidate display area. For example, if a message is split into 3 sub-messages, a first sub-message may be displayed in a first candidate display area, a second sub-message may be displayed in a second candidate display area, and a third sub-message may be displayed in a third candidate display area.

It should be noted that, if the number M of the sub-messages is smaller than the number N of the candidate display areas existing in the target page, when displaying the messages, only M of the N candidate display areas may be used, and the remaining candidate display areas are not displayed.

Of course, it is also possible to omit non-core content in the message by semantic recognition, extract the core content, split the core content of the message to obtain M sub-messages, and finally display through at least part of the N candidate display regions.

As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present application, the message may also be split according to the areas of the candidate display regions, so that each candidate display region may accommodate the sub-message corresponding to the candidate display region.

Specifically, according to the area of each candidate display region in the target page, the message is split into M sub-messages, and one of the following first, second, and third modes may be adopted.

The first method is as follows: optionally, the step of splitting the message into M sub-messages according to the area of each candidate display region in the target page includes:

determining a first candidate display area with the smallest area in the candidate display areas in the target page;

determining a first character number of the first candidate display area in a preset display mode according to the area of the first candidate display area, wherein the first character number is the maximum character accommodating number of the first candidate display area displayed in the preset display mode;

and splitting the message into M sub-messages according to the first character number.

As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present application, the message may be split based on the number of characters that can be accommodated in the candidate display area with the smallest area among the candidate display areas in the target page. The splitting method has a simpler splitting process.

Further, the step of splitting the message into M sub-messages according to the first number of characters includes:

under the condition that the sum of the N first character numbers is less than or equal to the number of characters contained in the message, determining each adjacent character with the first character number in the message as a sub-message until N sub-messages are obtained;

in this case, it is also possible to extract the core content by omitting the non-core content in the message through semantic recognition. At this time, the number of characters of the core content of the message is less than or equal to the sum of the N first numbers of characters. And finally, the core content of the message is split to obtain M sub-messages, and the core content is displayed through at least partial areas of the N candidate display areas.

And under the condition that the sum of the N first character numbers is greater than the number of characters contained in the message, determining each adjacent character with the first character number in first target characters as a sub-message to obtain K-1 sub-messages, and taking the characters except the first target character in the message as a Kth sub-message, wherein the first target character comprises K-1 characters of the sum of the first character numbers in the message, and K is the quotient of the number of the characters contained in the message and the first character number.

For example, 4 candidate display regions exist in the target page, where when the preset display mode is adopted, the number of characters that can be accommodated in each candidate display region is 10, 20, 10, and 30, and then the candidate display region with the smallest area may accommodate 10 characters.

In the case that the message includes 25 characters, every 10 adjacent characters in the message may be determined as one sub-message, and then 2 sub-messages including 10 characters may be obtained, at this time, 5 characters remain in the message, and then these 5 characters may be determined as one sub-message. That is, 3 sub-messages are finally obtained, so that the 3 sub-messages are respectively displayed in different candidate display areas 301, as shown in fig. 3. In which an "X" in fig. 3 represents a character.

In the case where 45 characters are included in the message, every adjacent 10 characters in the message may be determined as one sub-message until 4 sub-messages are obtained. At this time, 5 characters remain in the message, and these 5 characters are not displayed.

The second method comprises the following steps: optionally, the step of splitting the message into M sub-messages according to the area of each candidate display region in the target page includes:

determining a second character number of characters which can be contained in each candidate display area in the target page in a preset display mode according to the area of each candidate display area in the target page, and storing the second character number in a target data set;

acquiring the display priority of the candidate display area in the target page;

sorting the second character number in the target data set according to the display priority to obtain a first sequence;

traversing the second number of characters according to the first sequence;

under the condition that the jth second character number is met and the number of second target characters is larger than the jth second character number, taking the jth second character number characters in the second target characters as jth sub-messages, wherein the second target characters comprise characters except the characters with the third character number before in the messages, the third character number is the sum of the first (j-1) second character numbers in the first sequence, N is not less than j and not more than 1, and j is an integer;

taking the second target character as a j-th sub-message under the condition that the j-th number of the second characters is met and the number of the second target characters is less than or equal to the j-th number of the second characters;

until all characters in the message are split into a plurality of sub-messages, or until the N second characters in the first sequence are traversed.

It should be noted that, in the above, "regarding the jth character in the second target characters in the number of the second characters as the jth sub-message", that is, according to the left-to-right arrangement order of the second target characters, regarding the jth character in the number of the second target characters before the jth character as the jth sub-message.

For example, there are 4 candidate display areas in the target page, where the second number of characters that each candidate display area can accommodate is 10, 20, 10, and 30 when the preset display mode is adopted, that is, the total number of characters that these 4 candidate display areas can accommodate when the preset display mode is adopted is 70. If the number of the second characters is sorted according to the display priority of the 4 candidate display areas, and the obtained first sequence is 10, 20, 10, or 30, the number of the second characters in the first sequence is traversed, and the process of splitting the message is as follows:

in the case that 80 characters are included in the message, first, the first 10 characters in the message are determined as a sub-message, and the remaining 70 characters in the message at this time are greater than the second 2-th character number (i.e., 20), so that the first 20 characters in the remaining 70 characters in the message at this time are determined as a sub-message; after obtaining two sub-messages, remaining 50 characters in the message, which are larger than the number (namely 10) of the 3 rd second character, so that the first 10 characters in the remaining 50 characters in the message at the moment are determined as a sub-message; after obtaining 3 sub-messages, the remaining 40 characters in the message are larger than the 4 th second character (namely 30), so that the first 30 characters in the remaining 40 characters in the message at the moment are determined as a sub-message; after obtaining 4 sub-messages, the traversal of the second number of characters in the first ordering is completed, and at this time, 10 characters remain in the message, only the obtained 4 sub-messages are displayed in different candidate display areas 301, and the remaining 10 characters in the message are not displayed, as shown in fig. 4. In fig. 4, an "X" represents a character.

In the case that 25 characters are included in the message, the first 10 characters in the message are first determined as a sub-message, and the remaining 15 characters in the message at this time are smaller than the second 2-th character number (i.e., 20), so that the remaining 15 characters in the message at this time are determined as a sub-message, and then all the characters in the message are split into sub-messages. That is, two sub-messages are finally obtained, so that the two sub-messages are respectively displayed in different candidate display areas.

As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present application, the message may be split according to the number of characters that can be actually accommodated in each candidate display area in the target page, so that the area occupied by each candidate display area may be fully utilized.

The third method comprises the following steps: optionally, the step of splitting the message into M sub-messages according to the area of each candidate display region in the target page includes:

traversing the second number of characters according to the first sequence;

when the jth second character number is encountered, and the number of second target characters is larger than the jth second character number, and the third target character comprises a preset type character, the indication character and the character which is positioned before the indication character in the third target character are used as the j-th sub-message, wherein j is an integer from 1 to N, the second target character comprises characters of the message excluding the first third character, said third number of characters being the sum of the first (j-1) of said second numbers of characters in said first sequence, the third target character includes the first jth character of the second target character by the second character number, the indication character is the character of the preset type which is closest to the last character in the third target characters;

taking the third target character as a j-th sub-message under the condition that the j-th number of the second characters is met, the number of the second target characters is larger than the j-th number of the second characters, and the third target character does not comprise the characters of the preset type;

until all characters in the message are split into sub-messages, or until the second number of characters in the first sequence is traversed.

It should be noted that, the above "the third target character includes the first jth character in the second target character, that is, the third target character includes the first jth character in the second target character from left to right in the arrangement order.

In addition, the preset type of character is an indication character of a sentence break, and may be a punctuation mark, for example.

under the condition that the message comprises 80 characters, firstly, obtaining the first 10 characters in the message, then judging whether the 10 characters comprise punctuation marks or not, and if so, taking the punctuation mark closest to the last character and the characters before the punctuation mark in the 10 characters as a first sub-message; for example, if the first sub-message includes 8 characters, the message still has the remaining 72 characters, which are greater than the second character (i.e. 20), so as to obtain the first 20 characters of the 72 characters again, then determine whether the 20 characters include punctuation marks, and if not, regard the 20 characters as the second sub-message; obtaining a second sub-message, wherein 52 characters are left in the message and are greater than the third second character (namely 10), so as to obtain the first 10 characters in the 52 characters again, then judging whether the 10 characters comprise punctuation marks or not, and if so, taking the punctuation marks closest to the last character and the characters before the punctuation marks in the 10 characters as a third sub-message; for example, if the third sub-message includes 8 characters, the message still has the remaining 44 characters, which are greater than the second character (i.e. 30), so as to obtain the first 30 characters of the 44 characters again, then determine whether the 30 characters include punctuation marks, and if not, regard the 30 characters as the fourth sub-message. After obtaining 4 sub-messages, the traversal of the second number of characters in the first ordering is completed, and at this time, 14 characters remain in the message, only the obtained 4 sub-messages are displayed in different candidate display areas 301, and the remaining 14 characters in the message are not displayed, as shown in fig. 5. In fig. 5, an "X" represents a character.

Under the condition that the message comprises 25 characters, firstly, obtaining the first 10 characters in the message, then judging whether the 10 characters comprise punctuation marks or not, and if so, taking the characters before the punctuation marks closest to the last character in the 10 characters as a first sub-message; wherein for example, if the first sub-message includes 8 characters, 17 characters remain in the message, which is smaller than the second character number (i.e. 20), so that if these 17 characters are used as the second sub-message, all the characters in the message are split into sub-messages. That is, two sub-messages are finally obtained, so that the two sub-messages are respectively displayed in different candidate display areas.

According to the sentence-breaking rule, when the message is split, ideally, one candidate display area displays a small sentence of the message, but not the whole sentence is split into two candidate display areas from the middle, otherwise, the readability of the content is affected. However, when there are many sentence-break positions in the message, many candidate display areas are required, and some candidate display areas are vacant to a large extent, which wastes space. Moreover, a small sentence of a message is displayed in one candidate display area, and a situation that all candidate display areas in a target page cannot accommodate a certain sub-message may occur, so that splitting the message is unreasonable only according to a sentence-breaking rule.

In the embodiment of the application, the number of characters which can be actually accommodated in each candidate display area in the target page is combined with the sentence-breaking rule to split the message. When the message comprises more characters, if the message cannot be sentence-break in the first candidate display area, filling the first candidate display area, and if the message can be sentence-break in the first candidate display area, sentence-break can be performed; then, the remaining characters are divided into the second and third display areas waiting for selection. If the remaining characters can be used for sentence breaking in the second candidate display area, sentence breaking is needed, and the remaining contents are divided into a third candidate display area; if the remaining characters cannot be punctuated in the second candidate display area, the second candidate display area is still filled up, and then the remaining characters are divided into a third candidate display area.

As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present application, the message can be split according to the number of characters that can be actually accommodated in each candidate display area in the target page and the sentence break rule, so that the sentence break rule can be followed while the area occupied by each candidate display area is fully utilized, and a user can conveniently read the message.

According to the first mode, the second mode and the third mode, how many candidate display areas the message is finally displayed depends on the number of available spatial positions of the target page, the area occupied by the candidate display areas at each spatial position and the number of characters included in the message. When the message includes more characters, the N candidate display regions may be sequentially filled, and when the message includes less characters, only the first M candidate display regions are displayed.

Taking a game interface as an example, a first area and a second area exist on the game interface, wherein the first area displays the settings of sound and a microphone, and the second area displays a character list in the game, the display contents of the first area and the second area are not very important, so that the first area and the second area can be used as candidate display areas for displaying messages. Wherein, when the message includes more characters, the message can be displayed by using the first area and the second area; and when the message includes less characters, the message may be displayed using only one of the first area and the second area.

In addition, the number of characters that can be accommodated in each candidate display area is influenced by three factors:

first, the size of the candidate display area, which depends on the size of the space provided by the target page without affecting the user's visual experience;

a second point, a pre-display manner, specifically, for example, a font size;

third, message sentence break.

Taking a movie picture as an example, because a movie shot usually places characters near the center of the picture, the viewing angle at the corners is not very important. One candidate display area may be set in the upper left and upper right corners, respectively, when viewed full screen on the electronic device. When each sentence in the message is long and the sentence in the first candidate display area cannot be broken, the first candidate display area can be filled with the first candidate display area, and the remaining characters are filled in the second candidate display area.

In addition, it should be noted that the preset display manner may include a font format (e.g., a font size, a font type (e.g., song body, regular body, and black body)), a font color, a window display type when the candidate display area is displayed as a window, and a background image of the candidate display area.

Optionally, the step of obtaining the display priority of the candidate display area in the target page includes:

determining the display priority of the candidate display area in the target page according to the distance between the candidate display area and the main object;

or

And determining the display priority of the candidate display area in the target page according to the display position of the candidate display area in the target page.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the display priority of the candidate display area in the target page may be determined according to the distance between the candidate display area and the main object, for example, the closer the candidate display area is to the main object, the higher the display priority of the candidate display area is. Wherein the candidate display area is generally in a regular shape (e.g., a rectangle), the distance from the candidate display area to the subject object may be the distance from the center of the candidate display area to the preset position of the subject object.

The display priority of the candidate display area in the target page may also be determined according to the display position of the candidate display area in the target page, for example, the display priority of the candidate display area is gradually decreased according to the left-to-right sequence of the display position of the candidate display area in the target page.

It should be noted here that the display priority of the candidate display area is higher or lower, which indicates the front-back order of the positions of the characters included in the sub-message displayed in the candidate display area in the message, i.e. the higher the priority of the candidate display area is, the more front the positions of the characters included in the sub-message to be displayed are in the message.

Optionally, the method further includes:

receiving a fourth input;

modifying a font format of characters in the candidate display area in response to the fourth input.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the user can also set the display format of the message by himself. For example, older people may set the font slightly larger and younger people may set the font slightly smaller, thereby enabling the display of messages according to the needs of different users.

Optionally, the step of displaying the message in the target area includes:

selecting a target number of candidate display areas from the candidate display areas in the target page as the target area;

and scrolling and displaying the message in the target area.

The candidate display regions of the target number before selection may be selected in the order from the highest display priority of the candidate display regions to the lowest display priority of the candidate display regions, or the candidate display regions of the target number may be randomly selected.

E.g., 4 candidate display areas in the target page, two of the candidate display areas may be selected for scrolling the message.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the message can also be displayed in a scrolling manner in at least one candidate display area, so that when the message comprises too many characters, the user can view the content of the whole message in the candidate display area.

In addition, as to the specific way of displaying the message in the target area, the method is not limited to the above-mentioned way, and a quotient of the number of characters included in the message and N may be directly calculated, and the quotient is taken as a reference number of characters that each candidate display area needs to display, and then every adjacent character with the reference number in the message is taken as a sub-message until N sub-messages are obtained, so that the ith sub-message is displayed in the ith candidate display area, and N is the number of candidate display areas in the target page.

When the ith candidate display area is displayed in a preset display mode, if the maximum number Q of the contained characters is smaller than the reference number, the candidate display area only displays the first Q characters in the ith sub-message.

Optionally, the method further includes:

receiving a first input;

displaying a setting interface of the candidate display area in response to the first input, wherein a boundary of the candidate display area in the target page is displayed in the setting interface;

receiving a second input in the setting interface;

in response to the second input, modifying a target parameter of the candidate display regions displayed in the setting interface, the target parameter including at least one of a number of the candidate display regions, an area of each of the candidate display regions, a location of each of the candidate display regions, and a display priority of each of the candidate display regions.

The first input may be an operation of a physical key or a combined physical key on the electronic device, an operation of a preset shape drawn on a touch screen of the electronic device, or a click operation of a preset icon displayed in a desktop of the electronic device.
