Description

Method, device, terminal and storage medium for determining reading progress of electronic book

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of data processing technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a terminal, and a storage medium for determining reading progress of an electronic book.

Background

When a user reads the same electronic book by using different terminals, the reading progress of the electronic book is usually different, and when the user switches different terminals to read the same electronic book, the server and the terminals synchronize the reading progress of the electronic book in order to enable the user to read in succession with the previous reading progress.

Generally, when a user uses a terminal to read, the terminal will determine the reading progress corresponding to the operation time of the latest reading in the local reading progress as the current reading progress. Under the conditions of unstable network connection between the terminal and the server, and the like, the terminal cannot read the progress synchronously with the server in time. In this case, it is likely that the reading progress corresponding to the operation time of the last reading is inaccurate as the current reading progress, which may cause a problem that the user cannot read in succession with the previous reading progress, resulting in repeated reading.

Detailed Description

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

In order to improve accuracy of determining reading progress of an electronic book, embodiments of the present invention provide a method, an apparatus, a terminal, a storage medium, and a computer program product for determining reading progress of an electronic book. The following first describes a method for determining the reading progress of an electronic book according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The method for determining the reading progress of the electronic book provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a terminal, and the terminal can be a smart phone, a tablet personal computer, a personal computer and other devices, and is not particularly limited.

As shown in fig. 1, a method for determining reading progress of an electronic book is applied to a terminal, and the method includes:

s101, when an electronic book reading instruction sent by a user is obtained, searching a local record corresponding to the electronic book indicated by the electronic book reading instruction;

the local records comprise book operation time and local reading progress.

S102, determining whether the operation time of a server corresponding to the electronic book is earlier than the operation time of the book;

the server operation time is the latest operation time corresponding to the electronic book stored by the server.

S103, when the service end operation time is earlier than the book operation time, determining whether the service end reading progress corresponding to the electronic book is smaller than the local reading progress;

the server-side reading progress is the latest reading progress corresponding to the electronic book stored by the server-side.

S104, when the reading progress of the server side is smaller than the local reading progress, determining the local reading progress as a target reading progress;

s105, when the reading progress of the server side is not smaller than the local reading progress, displaying abnormal prompt information, and determining a target reading progress according to the selection operation of the user based on the abnormal prompt information;

the abnormal prompt information is used for indicating and selecting one of the server-side reading progress or the local reading progress as a target reading progress.

In the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, when the terminal acquires the instruction of reading the electronic book sent by the user, the terminal searches the local record corresponding to the electronic book indicated by the instruction of reading the electronic book, wherein the local record comprises the book operation time and the local reading progress; determining whether the operation time of the server corresponding to the electronic book is earlier than the operation time of the book, wherein the operation time of the server is the latest operation time corresponding to the electronic book stored by the server; when the operation time of the server is earlier than the operation time of the book, determining whether the reading progress of the server corresponding to the electronic book is smaller than the local reading progress, wherein the reading progress of the server is the latest reading progress corresponding to the electronic book stored by the server; when the reading progress of the server side is smaller than the local reading progress, determining the local reading progress as a target reading progress; when the reading progress of the server is not smaller than the local reading progress, displaying abnormal prompt information, and determining a target reading progress according to the selection operation of the user based on the abnormal prompt information, wherein the abnormal prompt information is used for indicating one of the reading progress of the server or the local reading progress to be selected as the target reading progress. The terminal can judge whether the local record is abnormal according to the service end operation time, the book operation time, the service end reading progress and the local reading progress, and when the local record is abnormal, the terminal can display abnormal prompt information for a user to select a target reading progress which is required to be read, so that the reading progress of the electronic book can be accurately determined.

When a user reads an electronic book using a terminal, an instruction to read the electronic book may be issued. Since the user generally wants to continue reading in succession with the reading progress of the last reading of the electronic book, when the terminal obtains the issued instruction for reading the electronic book, the terminal can search the local record corresponding to the electronic book indicated by the instruction for reading the electronic book.

The local record includes a book operation time and a local reading progress, the book operation time is a time recorded by the terminal when a user operates the electronic book last time, and the user can operate the electronic book to read the electronic book, withdraw from reading the electronic book, and the like. The local reading progress is the reading progress of the last reading of the electronic book by the user recorded by the terminal.

The terminal can display the thumbnail of the electronic book, and the user can send out an instruction for reading the electronic book by clicking the thumbnail of the electronic book; the terminal can display the name of the electronic book, and the user can send out an instruction for reading the electronic book by clicking the name of the electronic book, which is reasonable.

Since there may be a plurality of users reading the electronic book on the same terminal, and the same user may read a plurality of books on the same terminal, in order to accurately find the local record, in an embodiment, the instruction for reading the electronic book may include a user identifier and an electronic book identifier, and the local record also includes the user identifier and the electronic book identifier. When the terminal acquires the instruction of reading the electronic book, the terminal can search the local record matched with the user identification and the electronic book identification included in the instruction of reading the electronic book.

Since the terminal may not synchronize the reading progress of the book with the server in time, the local reading progress included in the local record searched by the terminal may not be accurate. In order to accurately determine the actual reading progress of the electronic book, after the local record corresponding to the electronic book indicated by the instruction for reading the electronic book is found, the terminal may execute the above step S102, i.e. determine whether the service end operation time corresponding to the electronic book is earlier than the book operation time. The service side operation time is the latest operation time corresponding to the electronic book stored by the service side, namely the book operation time when the book operation time is synchronized to the service side last time.

When the operation time of the server is not earlier than the operation time of the book, the terminal and the server synchronize the reading progress of the book, and then the reading progress of the server is not less than the local reading progress, and the reading progress of the server is the actual reading progress of the electronic book. The server side reading progress is the latest reading progress corresponding to the electronic books stored by the server side, namely the local reading progress when the local reading progress is synchronized to the server side last time. In this case, the terminal may determine the server-side reading progress as the target reading progress.

In one embodiment, when the server operation time is not earlier than the book operation time, the terminal may update the local reading progress to the server reading progress, and update the book operation time to the server operation time. Thus, the terminal can update the local reading progress and the book operation time included in the local record in time.

When the operation time of the server is earlier than the operation time of the book, the operation of the electronic book on the terminal by the user after the operation time of the book is synchronized to the server last time is described. In this case, the terminal may perform the above step S103, that is, determine whether the server reading progress corresponding to the electronic book is smaller than the local reading progress.

In order to accurately determine whether the reading progress of the server is smaller than the local reading progress, in an embodiment, the reading progress of the server and the local reading progress may include reading chapter identifiers, reading chapter numbers, and reading chapter offset words. The reading chapter mark is used for indicating chapters in the electronic book, the reading chapter serial number is used for indicating the number of chapters read by a user to the electronic book, and the reading chapter offset word number is used for indicating the number of characters read by the user to the chapters of the electronic book.

The terminal can determine whether the reading chapter number of the local reading progress is smaller than the reading chapter number of the server side reading progress, when the reading chapter number of the local reading progress is not smaller than the reading chapter number of the server side reading progress, the local reading progress is not smaller than the server side reading progress, and when the reading chapter number of the local reading progress is smaller than the reading chapter number of the server side reading progress, the local reading progress is smaller than the server side reading progress.

When the number of the reading chapter of the local reading progress is the same as the number of the reading chapter of the reading progress of the server side, the terminal can also determine whether the number of the reading chapter offset words of the local reading progress is smaller than the number of the reading chapter offset words of the reading progress of the server side, and when the number of the reading chapter offset words of the local reading progress is not smaller than the number of the reading chapter offset words of the reading progress of the server side, the terminal indicates that the local reading progress is not smaller than the reading progress of the server side; when the number of the read chapter offset words of the local read progress is smaller than that of the read progress of the server, the local read progress is smaller than that of the server.

In general, when a user performs an operation on an electronic book on a terminal after the last time the book operation time is synchronized to a server, the local reading progress is not smaller than the server reading progress. Therefore, when the operation time of the server is earlier than the operation time of the book and the reading progress of the server is smaller than the local reading progress, the local reading progress is indicated to be the actual reading progress of the electronic book, and in this case, the terminal can determine the local reading progress as the target reading progress.

When the operation time of the server is earlier than the operation time of the book and the local reading progress is smaller than the reading progress of the server, the local reading progress is likely to be not the actual reading progress of the electronic book, and the local record is also abnormal record. For example, the local record B1 corresponding to the electronic book D1 includes a book operation time of 3 minutes and 20 seconds at 15 days of 1 month and 2 in 2020, the local record B1 includes a local reading progress of a third chapter, the service end operation time corresponding to the electronic book D1 is 1 minute and 3 seconds at 15 days of 1 month and 2 in 2020, and the service end reading progress corresponding to the electronic book D1 is a fifth chapter, so that the terminal can determine that the local record B1 is an abnormal record.

In an embodiment, the terminal may obtain, in advance, a server operation time and a server reading progress corresponding to a local record stored in the terminal from the server, and when the terminal determines to read the local record corresponding to the electronic book indicated by the electronic book instruction, compare the book operation time included in the local record with the server operation time corresponding to the local record, and compare the local reading progress included in the local record with the server reading progress corresponding to the local record, so as to determine whether the local record is an abnormal record.

When the local record is an abnormal record, it is indicated that the local reading progress included in the local record is likely to be inaccurate, and the server progress corresponding to the local record is likely to be accurate reading progress. In this case, in order to accurately determine the target reading progress, the terminal may display abnormality notification information. The abnormal prompt information is used for indicating and selecting one of the server-side reading progress or the local reading progress as the target reading progress.

In an embodiment, the abnormal prompting information may include a thumbnail of a page of the electronic book corresponding to the reading progress of the server, and when the abnormal prompting information is displayed, the terminal may display the thumbnail for the user to view.

When the terminal displays the abnormal prompt information, the user can select one of the synchronous reading progress or the local reading progress as the target reading progress based on the abnormal prompt information for selection operation. After determining the target progress, the local record may be determined to be an anomaly-free record. Thus, the terminal can capture the selection operation of the user and determine the target reading progress.

In one embodiment, the terminal may display the abnormal prompt information and simultaneously display the server reading progress selection button and the local reading progress selection button, so that the user may perform the selection operation by clicking the server reading progress selection button or the local reading progress selection button. When a user clicks a server reading progress selection button, the terminal can determine that the server reading progress is a target reading progress; when the user clicks the local reading progress selection button, the terminal can determine the local reading progress as the target reading progress. Then, the terminal can display the page of the electronic book corresponding to the target reading progress for the user to read.

As an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, the local record and the server record corresponding to the electronic book stored in the server each further include a bookshelf status identifier, where the bookshelf status identifier indicates whether the electronic book is in an electronic bookshelf.

The user may read too many electronic books using the terminal, in which case the terminal may display an electronic bookshelf including the electronic books read by the user. When a user wants to read an electronic book which does not exist in the electronic bookshelf, the electronic book which is wanted to be read can be added in the electronic bookshelf; when the user no longer wants to read a certain electronic book existing in the electronic bookshelf, the electronic book can be deleted from the electronic bookshelf. Therefore, the user's operation on the electronic book may also be an operation of adding the electronic book to the electronic bookshelf and an operation of deleting the electronic book from the electronic bookshelf. The book operation time may be a time when an electronic book is added to the electronic bookshelf, or a time when an electronic book is deleted from the electronic bookshelf. The local record comprises a local reading progress, book operation time and bookshelf state identification, and the server record comprises a server reading progress, server operation time and bookshelf state identification.

In this case, as shown in fig. 2, a second implementation of the method for determining the reading progress of the electronic book according to the embodiment of the present invention may include:

s201, determining whether the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf or not based on a first bookshelf state identifier and a second bookshelf state identifier;

the first bookshelf state identifier is a bookshelf state identifier included in the server side record, and the second bookshelf state identifier is a bookshelf state identifier included in the local record. The terminal may determine whether the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf according to the first bookshelf state identifier, and determine whether the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf according to the second bookshelf state identifier.

S202, deleting the local record if the first bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf and the second bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf;

if the first bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf and the second bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf, the terminal does not need to continuously save the local record of the electronic book, and the local record can be deleted.

S203, if the first bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf or the second bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, determining whether the service end operation time is earlier than the book operation time.

If the first bookshelf status flag indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf or the second bookshelf status flag indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, it is not yet possible to determine whether the user wants to continue reading the electronic book, that is, the local record of the electronic book cannot be deleted yet, and the local record may be an abnormal record. To determine whether the local record is an abnormal record, the terminal may determine whether the server operation time is earlier than the book operation time. The specific manner of determining whether the service-side operation time is earlier than the book operation time is the same as that in the step S102, and the description of the step S102 may be referred to herein, which is not repeated.

and S105, displaying abnormal prompt information when the reading progress of the server is not smaller than the local reading progress, and determining the target reading progress according to the selection operation of the user based on the abnormal prompt information.

Therefore, in the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the terminal can determine whether the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf or not based on the first bookshelf state identifier and the second bookshelf state identifier; if the first bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf and the second bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf, deleting the local record; if the first bookshelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, or the second bookshelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, determining whether the service end operation time is earlier than the book operation time. In this way, the terminal can determine whether the user has deleted the electronic book from the electronic bookshelf through the first bookshelf state identification and the second bookshelf state identification, and can delete the local record of the electronic book after determining that the user has deleted the electronic book from the electronic bookshelf.

As an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, the local record may further include a synchronous operation time and a synchronous reading progress. The synchronous reading progress is a local reading progress when the terminal synchronizes the local reading progress to the server last time, for example, the local reading progress when the terminal synchronizes the local reading progress to the server last time is the third page of the second chapter, and then the synchronous reading progress is the third page of the second chapter. The synchronous operation time is the book operation time when the terminal synchronizes the book operation time to the server last time.

In this case, as shown in fig. 3, a third implementation manner of the method for determining the reading progress of the electronic book according to the embodiment of the present invention may include:

s301, determining whether the synchronous operation time is the same as the operation time of the server side, if so, determining the local reading progress as a target reading progress; if not, step S201 is performed.

The terminal may determine whether the synchronization operation time included in the local record is the same as the service operation time included in the service record.

If the synchronous operation time included in the local record is the same as the service end operation time included in the service end record, the service end operation time included in the service end record is the book operation time when the terminal synchronizes the book operation time to the service end last time. That is, the server reading progress included in the server record is the local reading progress when the terminal synchronizes the local reading progress to the server last time, so that the local record is not an abnormal record, and the terminal can determine the local reading progress as the target reading progress.

If the synchronization operation time included in the local record is different from the service operation time included in the service record, which indicates that the service operation time included in the service record is not the book operation time when the terminal last synchronizes the book operation time to the service, that is, the service reading progress included in the service record is not the local reading progress when the terminal last synchronizes the local reading progress to the service, the local record may be an abnormal record, and the terminal may continue to execute step S201.

s203, if the first bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf or the second bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, determining whether the service end operation time is earlier than the book operation time;

s302, when the service end operation time is not earlier than the book operation time, if the first book shelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf, deleting the local record;

the user may read the ebook at a plurality of terminals, in this case the current terminal. When the first book shelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf and the service end operation time is not earlier than the book operation time, the electronic book is deleted from the electronic bookshelf by the user on other terminals. For example, the user has deleted the electronic book from the electronic bookshelf on the other terminal, and the user has not newly added the electronic book to the electronic bookshelf at the current terminal. In this case, the current terminal may delete the local record of the electronic book.

And S303, when the operation time of the server is not earlier than the operation time of the book, if the first book holder state identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, updating the local reading progress and the synchronous reading progress into the reading progress of the server, and updating the operation time of the book and the synchronous operation time into the operation time of the server.

When the first bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, the second bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, and the service end operation time is not earlier than the book operation time, the user is not deleting the electronic book from the electronic bookshelf, and the service end record is newer than the local record, that is, the service end reading progress included in the service end record is the latest reading progress. Then, the current terminal can update the local reading progress and the synchronous reading progress to the server reading progress, and update the book operation time and the synchronous operation time to the server operation time.

When the first bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, the second bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf, and the service end operation time is not earlier than the book operation time, the user is informed that the electronic book is deleted from the electronic bookshelf in the current terminal before, and then the electronic book is added to the electronic bookshelf in other terminals again, that is, the user continues to read the electronic book at present, the current terminal can update the local reading progress and the synchronous reading progress to the service end reading progress, and update the book operation time and the synchronous operation time to the service end operation time.

That is, when the first bookshelf status identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf and the server operating time is not earlier than the book operating time, the current terminal updates the local reading progress and the synchronous reading progress to the server reading progress and updates the book operating time and the synchronous operating time to the server operating time no matter whether the second bookshelf status identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf. Therefore, the terminal can update the local reading progress to the latest reading progress, and the user can be ensured to read the electronic book with the latest reading progress.

Therefore, in the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, before determining whether the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf or not based on the first bookshelf state identifier and the second bookshelf state identifier, the terminal can determine whether the synchronous operation time is the same as the operation time of the server side or not; when the first bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf, the second bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, and the service end operation time is not earlier than the book operation time, deleting the local record; when the first book shelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf and the service end operation time is not earlier than the book operation time, updating the local reading progress and the synchronous reading progress to the service end reading progress, and updating the book operation time and the synchronous operation time to the service end operation time. Therefore, after the user deletes the electronic book from the electronic bookshelf, the terminal can delete the local record in time, and can update the local reading progress to the latest reading progress, so that the user can read the electronic book with the latest reading progress.

As an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, when the service-side operation time is earlier than the book operation time, the method may further include:

If the first bookshelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf and the second bookshelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, determining whether the reading progress of the server corresponding to the electronic book is smaller than the local reading progress; if the first bookshelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf, the second bookshelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, or the first bookshelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, the second bookshelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf, and the local record is kept unchanged.

If the first bookshelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, the second bookshelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, and the service end operation time is earlier than the book operation time, the user is not deleting the electronic book from the electronic bookshelf, and the local record of the electronic book is possibly an abnormal record. In this case, in order to determine the accurate target reading progress, the terminal may determine whether the server reading progress corresponding to the electronic book is smaller than the local reading progress, that is, perform step S103 described above.

When the service end operation time is earlier than the book operation time, if the first bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf, the second bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, or the first bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, the second bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf, the local record is described as the latest record corresponding to the electronic book, and the current terminal does not send the local record to the service end to update the service end record. In this case, the current terminal may keep the local record unchanged in order to be able to update the server record according to the local record later.

In the solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, when the service end operation time is earlier than the book operation time, if the first bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf and the second bookshelf state identifier indicates that the electronic book is in the electronic bookshelf, it is determined whether the service end reading progress corresponding to the electronic book is smaller than the local reading progress; if the first bookshelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf, or the second bookshelf state identification indicates that the electronic book is not in the electronic bookshelf, the local record is kept unchanged. In this way, the terminal can more accurately determine whether the local record is an abnormal record.

As an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, the method may further include:

s401, determining whether the book operation time is the same as the synchronous operation time;

the book operation time is the time recorded by the terminal when the user operates the electronic book last time, and the synchronous operation time is the book operation time when the terminal synchronizes the book operation time to the server last time. In order to determine which of the local reading progress and the server reading progress is the updated reading progress, the terminal may determine whether the book operation time is the same as the synchronous operation time.

When the book operation time is different from the synchronous operation time, the fact that after the terminal synchronizes the book operation time to the server last time, the user reads the electronic book by using the terminal is indicated, and then the local reading progress is updated to be the reading progress which is newer than the reading progress of the server.

When the book operation time is the same as the synchronous operation time, the local reading progress is the same as the server reading progress, so that the server record does not need to be updated.

S402, if the book operation time is different from the synchronous operation time and the local record is not an abnormal record, the local record is sent to the server, so that the server updates the server operation time, the server reading progress and the first bookshelf state identifier into the book operation time, the local reading progress and the second bookshelf state identifier respectively, and sends updating success information to the terminal.

When the book operation time is different from the synchronous operation time and the local record is not an abnormal record, the terminal can send the local record to the server in order to update the server record, and the server can update the book operation time, the local reading progress and the second bookshelf state identifier included in the local record respectively when receiving the local record sent by the terminal. Therefore, the server-side record stored by the server-side can be updated in time, and when the user switches the terminal to read the electronic book, the updated server-side record can be obtained from the server-side, so that the user can read the electronic book with the latest reading progress.

In one embodiment, after updating the operation time of the server and the reading progress of the server to the book operation time and the local reading progress included in the local record, the server may update the uploading time included in the server record to the time when the server receives the local record.

S403, after the update success information is received, updating the synchronous operation time included in the local record into the book operation time.

After the operation time of the server, the reading progress of the server and the first bookshelf state identifier are updated into the book operation time, the local reading progress and the second bookshelf state identifier which are included in the local record respectively, the server can send updating success information to the terminal. After receiving the update success information, the terminal can update the synchronous operation time included in the local record into the book operation time.

Therefore, in the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the terminal can determine whether the book operation time is the same as the synchronous operation time; if the local records are different, the local records are sent to the server, so that the server respectively updates the operation time of the server, the reading progress of the server and the first bookshelf state identifier into book operation time, the local reading progress and the second bookshelf state identifier which are included in the local records, and sends updating success information to the terminal; and after receiving the updating success information, updating the synchronous operation time included in the local record into the book operation time. Therefore, the server-side record stored by the server-side can be updated in time, and when the user switches the terminal to read the electronic book, the updated server-side record can be obtained from the server-side, so that the user can read the electronic book with the latest reading progress.

When the reading progress of the server is not less than the local reading progress, the method may further include:

and determining the record identification of the local record as an abnormal identification.

When the operation time of the server is earlier than the operation time of the book and the reading progress of the server is not less than the local reading progress, the local record is an abnormal record. In this case, the terminal may determine that the record identifier of the local record is an abnormal identifier. Thus, when the target reading progress is determined next time, the terminal can quickly and accurately determine whether the local record is an abnormal record according to the record identification of the local record.

If the service end operation time corresponding to the local record is not earlier than the book operation time, or the local reading progress is not less than the service end reading progress corresponding to the local record, for this case, in one embodiment, the terminal may determine that the local record is a non-abnormal record, and may determine that the record identifier of the local record is a non-abnormal identifier.

Accordingly, as shown in fig. 5, a fourth implementation manner of the method for determining the reading progress of the electronic book according to the embodiment of the present invention may include:

S501, acquiring a record identifier of the local record, determining whether the record identifier of the local record is an abnormal identifier, and if so, executing step S502; if not, step S102 is performed.

After the terminal finds the local record, in order to quickly and accurately determine whether the local record is an abnormal record, the terminal can determine whether the local record is an abnormal record based on the record identifier of the local record. The record mark is determined in advance based on book operation time, local reading progress, service end operation time corresponding to the local record and service end reading progress corresponding to the local record.

In order to determine whether the local record is an abnormal record, so as to more accurately determine the target reading progress, the terminal can acquire the record identification of the local record when acquiring the local record.

When the record identification of the local record is the abnormality identification, which means that the local record is the abnormality record, the terminal may perform step S502.

When the record identifier of the local record is not an abnormal identifier, the terminal may perform step S102 in order to further determine whether the local record is an abnormal record.

S502, displaying abnormal prompt information, and determining target reading progress according to the selection operation of the user based on the abnormal prompt information.

When the local record is an abnormal record, in order to accurately determine the target reading progress, the terminal may display abnormal prompt information, and determine the target reading progress according to a selection operation of the user based on the abnormal prompt information, that is, perform step S502. The specific manner of displaying the abnormal prompting information and determining the target reading progress according to the selection operation of the user based on the abnormal prompting information is the same as that in step S105, and may be referred to the description of the above step S105, which is not repeated here.

Therefore, the terminal does not need to acquire the service end operation time and the service end reading progress corresponding to the searched local record after searching the local record so as to determine whether the local record is an abnormal record or not, and can determine whether the local record is the abnormal record or not according to a predetermined record identifier, so that the terminal can rapidly and accurately determine whether the local record is the abnormal record or not.

In one embodiment, after the terminal determines the target reading progress according to the selection operation of the user based on the abnormal prompt information, the record identifier of the local record can be updated to be a non-abnormal identifier, so that the record identifier of the local record can be updated in time, and whether the local record is an abnormal record or not can be determined quickly and accurately when the target reading progress needs to be determined next time.

In the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, when the reading progress of the server is not less than the local reading progress, the terminal can determine that the record mark of the local record is an abnormal mark; correspondingly, before determining whether the service end operation time corresponding to the electronic book is earlier than the book operation time, the terminal can acquire the record identifier of the local record, display the abnormal prompt information when the record identifier of the local record is the abnormal identifier, and determine the target reading progress according to the selection operation of the user based on the abnormal prompt information; when the record mark of the local record is not the abnormal mark, determining whether the service end operation time corresponding to the electronic book is earlier than the book operation time. Thus, the terminal can quickly and accurately determine whether the local record is an abnormal record according to the record identification of the local record.

As an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, the method for obtaining the operation time of the server and the reading progress of the server may include:

when target operation of a user aiming at the electronic book is captured, a record acquisition instruction is sent to the server, so that the server sends the stored latest server record to the terminal.

In order to obtain the operation time of the server and the reading progress of the server corresponding to the local record, the terminal may send a record obtaining instruction to the server when capturing the target operation sent by the user for the electronic book. When the server receives the record acquisition instruction, the latest server record stored by the server can be sent to the terminal.

The target operation may be an operation of starting reading the electronic book by the user or an operation of stopping reading the electronic book by the user, for example, an operation of starting an electronic book reading program by the user; the electronic book reading program can be switched to the background operation for the user; the user may also be redirected to the ebook reading program.

The server may have server records for multiple users stored therein. In an embodiment, the record obtaining instruction and the server record may both include a user identifier, and when the server receives the record obtaining instruction, the server may determine, according to the user identifier included in the record obtaining instruction, a server record including the same user identifier in the server record stored in the server, and send the server record to the terminal.

In another embodiment, when the terminal stores a plurality of local records, the record obtaining instruction may include a target upload time, and the server record may include an upload time of the server record, where the target upload time is an upload time of a last upload time of the server record obtained by the terminal from the server. When the server receives the record acquisition instruction, the server can send the server record with the uploading time later than the target uploading time to the terminal. In this way, the terminal can ensure that the latest server record is acquired.

In the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, when the target operation of the user for the electronic book is captured, the terminal sends the record acquisition instruction to the server, so that the server sends the stored latest server record to the terminal. Therefore, the terminal can timely acquire the latest server record corresponding to the electronic book, and further can accurately determine the target reading progress based on the local record and the server record.
