Fig. 5 is an exemplary media asset recommendation interface, which may be specifically a media asset recommendation interface entered after a user inputs a selection operation of a recommendation column control by clicking the recommendation column control. As shown in fig. 5, the media asset recommendation interface includes a navigation bar 500 and a list of listings 510 located below the navigation bar, the list of listings 510 includes a certain number of media asset recommendation bars 5101, and the media asset recommendation bars 5101 are used for displaying recommended media assets, such as "media asset a", "media asset B", and the like. The content displayed in the list of entries 510 changes with the change of the selected control in the navigation bar 500. When the media recommendation interface is displayed, the user can click any one of the media asset recommendation columns 5101 to input a play instruction for any media asset to trigger the play of the media asset. Illustratively, when the user clicks "asset A" in FIG. 5, then "asset A" will be played. It should be noted that the user may also input the selection operation of the assets in other manners to play the selected assets. For example, the media assets are played back using a voice control function or a search function. However, in the process of displaying the media assets, because the number of the media assets displayed in the conventional column is very limited, the user cannot be guided to find more recommended media assets, the display equipment is not favorable for displaying complete resources, and the media asset resources are greatly wasted.

The user inputs a scroll instruction to the list of the items in the media asset recommendation interface shown in fig. 5, and further displays more media assets, but only one media asset display is added because the user scrolls the list of the items once each time. For example, fig. 6 is an exemplary media asset recommendation interface, which may be specifically a media asset recommendation interface obtained after a user continuously inputs a scroll instruction twice, and compared with the media asset recommendation interface of fig. 5, the user inputs a scroll instruction twice, and only the displays of "media asset E" and "media asset F" are increased, so that the user cannot quickly acquire a desired movie resource. Therefore, how to show more multimedia in one column is a problem which needs to be solved urgently at present.

The following describes the user interface interaction process of presenting the recommended assets by the display device with reference to fig. 7 to 11.

Firstly, a user enters a media asset recommendation interface after inputting a selection operation of a recommended column control by clicking the recommended column control. Specifically, the controller may obtain at least one recommended media asset set from the server, where media asset topics in the same recommended media asset set are the same. The controller displays a media asset recommendation interface according to the recommended media asset set returned by the server, a plurality of column lists can be displayed in the interface, different topics corresponding to different column lists are displayed in the interface, and the recommended media assets in the same recommended media asset set can be displayed in the column lists of the corresponding topics. The media asset recommendation interface can also comprise a media asset expansion control used for triggering and displaying more media assets.

Fig. 7 is an exemplary media asset recommendation interface, where the media asset recommendation interface includes a navigation bar 700 and a list 710 located below the navigation bar, where the list 710 includes a first number of media asset recommendation bars 7101 and a media asset expansion control 7102. The user can click any one of the media asset recommendation bars to input a playing instruction for the corresponding media asset to play the media asset. Illustratively, when the user clicks "asset C" in FIG. 7, then "asset C" will be played. It should be noted that the user may also input the selection operation of the assets in other manners to play the selected assets. For example, the media assets are played back using a voice control function or a search function. It should be noted that the first quantity is a preset quantity, a specific numerical value of the first quantity may be set by an operator, configured on the server, and issued to the display device by the server, and the first quantity may also be configured on the display device in advance. The first number in fig. 7 has a value of 4.

In some embodiments, the asset expansion control may also be presented in other forms, as shown in fig. 8, the asset expansion control 7102 is displayed above the right-most asset recommendation bar 7101, and the control name may be "more".

Next, when the user inputs an instruction to select the asset expansion control 7102, the controller may present on the display, in response to the user instruction, a hidden asset recommendation column 720 appearance of the listing list 710 as shown in fig. 9, i.e., into the next level interface of fig. 7. The interface comprises a second quantity of media asset recommendation column 7201, and the second quantity of media assets can be displayed in an increasing mode through the second quantity of media asset recommendation column 7201. It should be noted that the second quantity is a preset quantity, a specific numerical value of the second quantity may be set by an operator, configured on the server, and issued to the display device by the server, and the second quantity may also be configured on the display device in advance. The second number in fig. 9 has a value of 15.

In some embodiments, the next level of interface of the asset recommendation interface that is entered in response to the user operating the asset expansion control is referred to as the asset expansion interface.

In some embodiments, the server sends a preset amount of recommended media assets to the display device according to the setting of the operator. In other words, the amount of the assets in each asset information set sent by the server to the display device is a preset amount. The preset number can be larger than the first number or equal to the first number, and the specific numerical value is adjusted by an operator in real time according to the actual situation. Based on this, before the display device displays the media asset recommendation interface, whether the quantity of the recommended media assets in each recommended media asset set is larger than a first quantity is judged, and if the quantity of the recommended media assets in the recommended media asset set is larger than the first quantity, a media asset expansion control is displayed in a column list corresponding to the recommended media asset set. And if the quantity of the recommended media assets in the recommended media asset set is not greater than the first quantity, not displaying the media asset expansion control in a column list corresponding to the recommended media asset set.

Illustratively, when the number of the media assets in the recommended media asset set acquired by the controller from the server is 5 and the number of the media asset recommendation columns in the column list is 8, the column list can display all the media assets in the recommended media asset set, and the media asset expansion control is not displayed in the media asset recommendation interface.

It can be seen from the above example that, by no longer displaying the media asset expansion control, it can be avoided that, after the user selects the media asset expansion control, other media assets cannot be displayed, which affects the user experience, because the number of media assets in the recommended media asset set is too small.

In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to: and responding to the operation of the media resource expansion control in the target column list, and controlling the media resource recommendation column hidden in the target column list to be displayed in the media resource recommendation interface. The target column list refers to a column list corresponding to the media asset expansion control selected by the user in the media asset recommendation interface.

For example, referring to fig. 10, when the user selects the media asset expansion control, a media asset recommendation column 7201 hidden in a column list is respectively displayed on both sides of a media asset recommendation column 7101 of the media asset expansion interface. By displaying the hidden media asset recommendation columns 7201 on the two sides of the media asset recommendation column 7101 of the media asset recommendation interface, a user can quickly select desired media assets according to own preferences, user experience is improved, and the user is prevented from repeatedly searching for the same page.

In some embodiments, displaying at least one media asset recommendation bar in the media asset expansion interface comprises: and displaying the residual recommended media assets in the target recommended media asset set through a media asset recommendation column in the media asset expansion interface, wherein the target recommended media asset set refers to the recommended media asset set corresponding to the column list, and the residual recommended media assets refer to the recommended media assets which are not displayed in the target column list.

In some embodiments, the number of the media asset recommendation columns in the media asset expansion interface is a second number, and the displaying of the remaining recommended media assets in the target recommended media asset set through the media asset recommendation columns in the media asset expansion interface includes: and judging whether the number of the residual recommended media assets in the target recommended media asset set is smaller than a second number, if the number of the residual recommended media assets is smaller than the second number, acquiring a third number of recommended media assets from the server, wherein the third number is a difference value between the second number and the number of the residual recommended media assets, and respectively displaying the residual recommended media assets and the third number of recommended media assets in each media asset recommendation column in the media asset expansion interface.

Illustratively, when the number of the media assets in the recommended media asset aggregate from the server is 30, the number of the recommendation positions in the media asset recommendation interface is 20, and the number of the media asset recommendation columns in the media asset expansion interface is 20, 20 media assets are displayed in the recommendation positions of the media asset recommendation interface, 10 media assets are acquired from the server again, 20 media assets are displayed in the media asset expansion interface, more media assets can be recommended, and a user can conveniently find the desired media assets. In this embodiment, the first number has a value of 20, the second number has a value of 20, and the third number has a value of 10.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 11, when the number of the remaining recommended assets in the target recommended asset set is greater than the second number, the asset expansion interface further includes a page turning control 7202, and the controller is further configured to: and responding to the operation of the page turning control 7202 to display the next page of the current media asset expansion interface, so as to display the rest recommended media assets which are not displayed in the current media asset expansion interface through a media asset recommendation bar in the next page of the current media asset expansion interface.

Illustratively, when the number of the media assets in the recommended media asset aggregate from the server is 40, the number of the recommendation positions in the media asset recommendation interface is 10, and the number of the media asset recommendation columns in the media asset expansion interface is 15, 10 media assets are displayed in the recommendation positions of the media asset recommendation interface, 15 media assets are displayed in the media asset expansion interface, a page turning control is displayed in the media asset expansion interface, when a user selects the page turning control, the next page is displayed in the media asset expansion interface, and the remaining 15 media assets which are not displayed are displayed in the next page of the media asset expansion interface. By arranging the page turning interface in the media asset expansion interface, the media assets in the recommended media asset combination can be effectively and completely displayed, a user can find expected media assets conveniently, and user experience is improved. In this embodiment, the first number has a value of 10 and the second number has a value of 15.

Further, when the user selects the page turning control, if the number of the media assets which are not shown by the media asset recommending interface and the media asset expanding interface is smaller than the second number, a fourth number of the recommended media assets is obtained from the server, the fourth number is a difference value between the second number and the number of the media assets which are not shown by the media asset recommending interface and the media asset expanding interface, and the media assets which are not shown by the media asset recommending interface and the media asset expanding interface and the fourth number of the recommended media assets are respectively shown in each media asset recommending column in the media asset expanding interface.

Illustratively, when the user selects the page turning control, the number of the media assets which are not displayed by the media asset recommendation interface and the media asset expansion interface is 10, and the number of the media asset recommendation columns in the media asset expansion interface is 15, 5 recommended media assets are obtained from the server again, and the 15 media assets are displayed on the media asset recommendation columns in the media asset expansion interface. In this embodiment, the second number has a value of 15 and the fourth number has a value of 5.

It should be noted that, if all recommended media assets are displayed by the media asset recommendation bar, after the user selects the page turning control, the controller is configured to obtain the same number of recommended media assets from the server according to the number of the media asset recommendation bars in the media asset expansion interface, and display the recommended media assets in the media asset recommendation bar.

In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to obtain the first quantity and the second quantity from the server while obtaining the at least one recommended set of assets from the server. The first quantity and the second quantity are preset by an operator, the first quantity and the second quantity are sent to the display device through the server, the controller sets the quantity of the media asset recommendation columns in the media asset recommendation interface according to the first quantity from the server, and the controller sets the quantity of the media asset recommendation columns in the media asset expansion interface according to the second quantity from the server. The operator can set the number of the media asset recommendation columns in the media asset recommendation interface and the media asset expansion interface according to different scene requirements, so that the media asset recommendation mode is more flexible.

Further, if the value of the first number from the server is 2 or less, the server sets the first number to 2 and transmits it to the display device, and if the value of the first number is greater than 25, the server sets the first number to 25 and transmits it to the display device. The method avoids the situation that the multimedia assets are displayed due to the fact that the number of the media asset recommendation columns in the media asset recommendation interface is too large, and the multimedia assets are not beneficial to being searched by a user. For example, the operator of a certain column sets the first number to 40, and since the value of the first number is greater than 25, the server changes the value of the first number to 25 and sends the value to the display device.

In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to: and when the focus is not stopped at the media resource expansion control, displaying the media resource expansion control as a first style, and when the focus is stopped at the media resource expansion control, displaying the media resource expansion control as a second style.

			1	16:9	410px*230px
2	4:3	306px*230px
			3	1:1	230px*230px
4	3:4	290px*387px
			5	2:3	258px*387px

TABLE 1

For example, referring to fig. 14, fig. 14 shows that the ratio of the medium resource poster graph is 1:1, and the ratio of the medium resource expansion control is set to 1:1 through the template. Through setting up the template to control poster picture, can the different column template of adaptation, satisfy the user demand under the different service environment.
