As an alternative but non-limiting implementation, in response to receiving an active request from a user, the manner in which the prompt information is sent to the user may be, for example, a popup, in which the prompt information may be presented in a text manner. In addition, a selection control for the user to select to provide personal information to the electronic device in a 'consent' or 'disagreement' manner can be carried in the popup window.

It will be appreciated that the above-described notification and user authorization process is merely illustrative and not limiting of the implementations of the present disclosure, and that other ways of satisfying relevant legal regulations may be applied to the implementations of the present disclosure.

It will be appreciated that the data (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition or use of the data) involved in the present technical solution should comply with the corresponding legal regulations and the requirements of the relevant regulations.

Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While certain embodiments of the present disclosure have been illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein, but rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be more thorough and complete. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustration purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

It should be noted that any section/subsection headings provided herein are not limiting. Various embodiments are described throughout this document, and any type of embodiment may be included under any section/subsection. Furthermore, the embodiments described in any section/subsection may be combined in any manner with any other embodiment described in the same section/subsection and/or in a different section/subsection.

In describing embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "comprising" and its like should be taken to be open-ended, i.e., including, but not limited to. The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions are also possible below. The terms "first," "second," and the like, may refer to different or the same object. Other explicit and implicit definitions are also possible below.

As mentioned briefly above, various types of media items have become one of the main ways people acquire information. Some applications are capable of presenting multiple types of media items in the same display interface, such as mixed presentation of various types and themes of media items in the same display interface, such as pictures, videos, news, questions and answers. These media items may be presented in the form of cards. Some cards cannot be switched and are fixedly displayed in a certain area of the display interface, and the cards can be called as single cards. Some areas present cards that can be slid left and right by the user to continually switch cards. In this way, by switching cards, media items of different cards can be presented. The terminal device typically displays the media items in a portrait mode, while the direction of sliding of such cards is typically sideways, so such cards may be referred to as "landscape cards". Compared with a single card, the space utilization rate of the horizontal sliding card on the display screen is obviously higher, so that the application is wider and wider.

Typically, a set of swipe cards (e.g., 10 swipe cards) may be provided in anticipation of different media items being presented by switching the swipe cards in a certain display area. However, limited by the size of the display screen of the terminal device, the display interface of the terminal device can only present media items for the top 1-2 slide cards at a time. For other cards that are ranked later, the media items that these cards carry cannot be exposed without the user actively sliding. For example, the terminal device current interface presents identifications of thumbnails of media items of the sideslip card 1 and the sideslip card 2, and the like. After the user clicks on the identity of the media item presented by the sideslip card 1, the terminal device may load the content of the media item. After the media item is exited, the identifiers of the media items of the two sideslip cards, namely the sideslip card 1 and the sideslip card 2, are still displayed in the display interface of the terminal equipment. Therefore, the utilization rate of the sideslip card is poor, and the user experience is also poor.

To this end, embodiments of the present disclosure propose an improved scheme for presenting media items. In this approach, a first identification of a first media item is presented in a predetermined area in a display area. In response to detecting the first interaction with the first identifier, the first media item is presented in the display area. In response to detecting the second interaction to close the first media item, a second identification of a second media item adjacent to the first media item is presented in the first one of the predetermined areas. The display attribute of the first region has a higher significance than the display attributes of the other regions in the predetermined region.

For example, the predetermined area is an area where the slide card is loaded, and the first media item is video carried by the slide card that is ranked first. The user clicks on the identification of the video and then plays the content of the video. After the user closes the video, an identification of the next media item, e.g., an identification of the next video, is displayed in a predetermined area. In this way, the displayed media item can be automatically updated in a predetermined area. In this way, the user is able to view more media items without further manipulation (e.g., sliding). This advantageously improves the user experience.

Various example implementations of the scheme are described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Example Environment

FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented. As shown in fig. 1, an example environment 100 may include a terminal device 110.

In this example environment 100, an application 120 is installed in a terminal device 110. The user 140 may interact with the application 120 via the terminal device 110 and/or its attached device. The application 120 may be a social application, a content sharing application, a shopping application, etc., or any other suitable application. In the environment 100 of FIG. 1, if the application 120 is active, the application 120 may provide services to the user 140 such as creation, playback, viewing of media items, and/or merchandise searching or purchase.

In addition, terminal device 110 may present interface 150 of application 120. The content presented by the interface 150 also changes depending on the particular services provided by the application 120, the user's interaction/preset operations, and so forth.

It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and are not meant to suggest any limitation as to the scope of the disclosure.

Example interface

Fig. 2A and fig. 2B are schematic diagrams of a display interface of the terminal device 110 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Fig. 2A is a schematic diagram of an interface displayed on a vertical screen of the terminal device 110, and fig. 2B is a schematic diagram of an interface displayed on a horizontal screen of the terminal device 110.

Referring to fig. 2A, a display area 210 is included in a display interface 200A presented when the terminal device 110 is displayed on a vertical screen. The display area 210 includes a predetermined area 220 therein, that is, the predetermined area 220 is a portion of the display area 210. Also, referring to fig. 2B, a display area 210 is included in a display interface 200B presented when the terminal device 110 is vertically displayed, and a predetermined area 220 is included in the display area 210.

In the disclosed embodiment, the display area 210 is an area capable of displaying a plurality of media items. The media items in embodiments of the present disclosure may include any of the following: text, images, video, etc. As mentioned previously, the media items can be displayed in the form of cards, including fixed cards and cards that can be slid. The media items presented in the display area 210 may include both media items in the form of fixed cards and media items in the form of cards that can be slid, such as the previously mentioned slide-through cards. In the example of fig. 2A, a media item 240 of news and a media item 250 of encyclopedia displayed in a fixed card can be displayed in the display area 210. Media items in the form of sliding cards, such as media item 222, media item 224, and media item 226, can also be displayed in the display area 210.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the predetermined area 220 as a part of the display area 210 refers to an area capable of displaying a plurality of media items that can be slid to switch the display. By way of example, the predetermined area 220 may be the aforementioned area capable of loading a slide card. As one example, the media items displayed in the predetermined area 220 may be from a list of media items. The list of media items may be transmitted to the terminal device 110, for example, by the server 130. In some embodiments, the list of media items includes a plurality of media items arranged in a predetermined order. For example, the list of media items includes N (N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2) media items, which may be numbered 1 through N, respectively, in the order in which the media items can be presented. The user may perform a sliding operation in the predetermined area 220 to switch the media item currently displayed on the interface. The top-ranked, i.e., top-numbered, media items in the list of media items are preferentially presented.

In the example of FIG. 2A, a media item 222, a media item 224, and a media item 226 are displayed in the predetermined area 220. These media items may be from a list of media items. More media items may also be included in the media item list. The user performs a sliding operation in the predetermined area 220, the presented media items may be hidden and the remaining media items may be presented.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the display area 210 and the predetermined area 220 are updated differently. In particular, a user sliding along the axial direction of the display area 210 may update the media items presented by the display area 210. The user may update the media items presented in the display predetermined area 220 along the axial direction of the predetermined area 220.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the axial directions of the display region 210 and the predetermined region 220 intersect and are at a preset angle. The preset angle is valued larger to distinguish as much as possible the direction of the sliding operation that triggers the update of the display area 210 and the predetermined area 220. The predetermined angle is, for example, 90 degrees. I.e. the axial directions of the display area 210 and the predetermined area 220 are perpendicular to each other. Referring to fig. 2A, the axial direction of the display area 210 may be a vertical direction (a direction parallel to the long side of the terminal device 110), and the axial direction of the predetermined area 220 may be a horizontal direction (a direction parallel to the short side of the terminal device 110). Then, if it is detected that the user performs an interactive operation (also referred to herein as a third interaction) on the terminal device with a sliding direction coinciding with the axial direction (vertical direction) of the display area 210, such as a slide-up, slide-down operation, the media item presented by the display area 210 may be updated. If it is detected that the user performs an interactive operation (also referred to herein as a fourth interaction) on the terminal device whose sliding direction coincides with the predetermined area 220, such as an operation of sliding left and right, the media item presented by the predetermined area 220 may be updated.

Referring to fig. 2B, the axial direction of the display area 210 is a horizontal direction, and the axial direction of the predetermined area 220 is a vertical direction. Then, if it is detected that the user performs a left-right sliding operation on the terminal device, the media item presented by the display area 210 may be updated. If it is detected that the user performs a slide up and down operation on the terminal device, the media item presented by the predetermined area 220 may be updated.

In some embodiments, as mentioned previously, the media items presented in the predetermined area 220 are from a list of media items. Limited by the terminal device display size, the number of media items that can be presented in the predetermined area 220 is limited. Then, in updating the media items presented in the predetermined area 220, at least two target media items may be selected from the list of media items based on the direction of the user's sliding performed in the predetermined area 220 and presented in the predetermined area 220. In some embodiments, two media items can be displayed in the predetermined area 220. Specifically, one target media item is displayed in one area (also referred to as a first area) of the predetermined area 220. Another target media item is displayed in another area (also referred to as a second area) of the predetermined area 220. The second region is generally adjacent to the first region.

Referring to fig. 2A and 2B, media items 224 and 226 are presented in two different regions of the predetermined region 220, respectively. It will be appreciated that in the example of fig. 2A and 2B, the display area 210 includes a predetermined area 220 therein. In practice, a plurality of predetermined areas may also be included in the display area 210. Embodiments of the present disclosure do not define the number of predetermined regions nor the location of the predetermined region 220 in the display region 210.

The process of updating the media items presented in the predefined area 220 is described below in connection with an exemplary interface.

Referring to fig. 3, the display interface of the terminal device is 310, and the identifications of the media items 224 and 226 are presented in a predetermined area 220 of the display interface 310. The identification of media items in embodiments of the present disclosure may include a thumbnail of the media item, at least a portion of a thumbnail of the media item, or a looped-play media item. To distinguish between different media items in the disclosed embodiments, media item 224 may be referred to as a first media item and media item 226 may be referred to as a second media item. . Accordingly, the identity of the first media item may be referred to as a first identity and the identity of the second media item may be referred to as a third identity. The media item 224 may be located in a first region and the media item may be located in a second region.

Thereafter, if the user performed a first interaction 311 with the media item 224, the first interaction 311 may be, for example, an operation to click on the identity of the media item 224. In response, the display interface of the terminal device is switched from interface 310 to interface 320. The content of the media item 224 is presented in the display area 210 of the interface 320. In the example of fig. 3, where the media item 224 is a video, the content of the video is played in the display area 210 of the interface 320.

The user may perform a fifth interaction (e.g., a sliding operation) in the display interface 320. In response, the presented media item is updated in the display area 210 in the display interface 320. The media item being presented is updated, for example, from another list of media items. The further list of media items is different from the list of media items corresponding to the predetermined area 220. That is, the media item that the display area 210 updates to be presented is not a media item 226. Taking the example of the media item 224 being a live video, the user may update the video to be presented in a new live form after performing a sliding operation on the display interface 320.

If the user performs a second interaction 321 closing the media item 224 at the display interface 320. In the example of fig. 3, the second interaction 321 may be an operation to click on an exit control to exit the interface 320. In response, the media items presented by the predefined area 220 are updated. Update herein primarily refers to hiding, at least in part, the media item 224 that has been played and presenting the new media item. As an example, in a first region 221 in the predetermined region 220, an identification of a media item 226 adjacent to the media item 224 is presented. The first area 221 may be an area for presenting an identification of the media item 224 prior to updating the predetermined area 220. Further, in a second region 222 adjacent to the first region 221 in other regions of the predetermined region 220, a media item 228 identification is presented. In the disclosed embodiments, the media item 228 may be referred to as a third media item and the identity of the media item 228 may be referred to as a third identity. As previously mentioned, the media items presented in the predetermined area 220 may be from a media item presentation list, then the media item 226 may be a media item adjacent to the media item 224, and the media item 228 may be a media item adjacent to the media item 226 in the media item presentation list.

In some embodiments, the first region 221 is displayed in a substantially different manner from other remaining regions in the predetermined region 220. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the significant difference may be represented by a difference in attribute values of the display attributes, and then the significance of the display attributes of the first region 221 is higher than the significance of the display attributes of the other regions in the predetermined region 220.

In some embodiments, the display attribute of the first region includes at least any one of the following of the first region 221: area, position, border, color, focus status.

For example, referring to fig. 4A, the frame of the first region 221 is different from that of the other regions. The border of the first region 221 is bolded in fig. 4A to illustrate this difference. In this way, the first region 221 can be highlighted compared to other regions. Referring to fig. 4B, the area of the first region 221 is much larger than that of the other regions. Referring to fig. 4C, the first region 221 is located at an intermediate position of the predetermined region 220. In other examples, the color of the first region 221 may be different from other regions to distinguish the first region from the other regions. In other examples, the first region 221 may also be a region in focus. The focus state will be further explained below.

Reference is made to fig. 5. The media items may be presented in the form of cards. If the width of the display interface of the terminal device (indicated by the width of the container in fig. 5) is w1 and the width of the card is w2, the number of cards that can be loaded in the display interface is (w 1/w 2). Illustratively, the ratio may be 1.7, 1.6, 1.5, and so on. That is, the display interface of the terminal device can be loaded with one complete card, and also with one incomplete card, for example, a card of 0.7 card width. The region referred to in the embodiments of the present disclosure is in focus and is a region of a card that can be fully loaded. In the example of fig. 5, the region 510 is a region in focus, i.e., the region 510 is a first region. While region 520 is the other region.

It will be appreciated that in the example of fig. 4A-4C, the media item 224 is taken as a first media item, the area in which the identifier of the media item 224 is located is taken as a first area, and in other examples, the media item 226 may be taken as a first media item, and the display area in which the media item 226 is located is taken as a second area. The display area in which the media item 224 is located is the first area. That is, an identification of another media item (media item 224) adjacent to the first media item (media item 226) is presented in the first region.

Thus, embodiments of the present disclosure are capable of automatically updating displayed media items in a predetermined area. In this way, the next media item that may be of interest to the user may be automatically presented without further manipulation by the user. This can advantageously enhance the user experience.
