According to a second aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a terminal having a display screen, which is defined in claim <NUM>.

According to a third aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a computer-readable storage medium, which is defined in claim <NUM>.

The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are some rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information display method, applied to a terminal having a display screen. As shown in <FIG>, the information display method includes the following steps.

Step <NUM>: Obtain target information in an information presentation page.

As shown in <FIG>, the information presentation page is used to present information posted by at least one account, such as normal Moments listed in <FIG>. Each account corresponds to a user.

Specifically, the information presentation page is a friend information presentation page, for example, a page of WeChat Moments or Qzone that displays information posted by different user accounts.

Specifically, there is a login account currently logged in to an application to which the information display method is applied, and the information posted by the at least one account is information posted by other accounts different from the login account. The other accounts are accounts having an association relationship with the login account. For example, the other accounts are accounts that have been added as friends. Certainly, the information presentation page may be a display page of information posted by different accounts in social applications or we-media application software. This is not specifically limited herein. In the following implementations, for example, the information presentation page is Moments for description.

The target information is at least a part of the information posted by the at least one account. The target information may be information posted by a specific account, or information posted by a specific account group, or information posted by the at least one account in a specific time period, such as updated information, or information including only pictures, or information including only text, etc. It can be understood that the updated information is information posted between a first moment and a second moment.

Specifically, for example, when the terminal enters the information presentation page, the information presentation page will automatically update information; when new information posted by users corresponding to different accounts is updated in the update operation, the updated information can be determined as the target information; and when no new information is updated in the update operation, the target information in this case is information updated in a previous update operation.

Step <NUM>: Display a thumbnail corresponding to each piece of target information in the information presentation page.

Before the thumbnail corresponding to each piece of target information is displayed, the thumbnail corresponding to each piece of target information is generated. There is at least one piece of target information, and each piece of target information corresponds to one thumbnail.

The thumbnail includes information content extracted from the target information. The information content includes: account information of the target information, and/or extracted content of the target information, such as extracted keywords or extracted pictures, as shown in <FIG>.

The account information is specifically account information of an account in the at least one account that corresponds to the target information. Specifically, the account information may be: a profile picture of the posting account, a username of the posting account, remark information of the posting account, etc..

A display area of the thumbnail is smaller than a display area of the corresponding target information. The target information may be specifically displayed in the information presentation page. The thumbnail is displayed as floating on the display screen, and its presentation position can be adjusted and moved with an input by the user.

According to the foregoing information display method, the target information of the information presentation page is obtained, the thumbnail corresponding to each piece of target information is generated, and the generated thumbnail is displayed. This provides a user with a new information display effect and helps the user quickly browse and view a large amount of information in the information presentation page, which reduces inconvenience in the operation of the user viewing a wide variety of information, saves the user's time, avoids wasting more traffic, and reduces use cost.

As an optional implementation, that the thumbnail includes information content extracted from the target information includes the following:.

When the thumbnail includes the information content extracted from the target information, the extracted information content may be a keyword extracted from the target information, or a target picture extracted from the target information, or a keyword extracted from the target information and a target picture extracted from the target information. According to the extracted content, the thumbnail including the extracted information content is generated.

If a user activity (that is, information posted by the user) is only text information, extracted text content, a username, and a profile picture will be displayed in the thumbnail. If a user activity is only image content with more than one picture, the first two pictures will be selected for display, and if there is only one picture, the only one picture will be selected for display, and the extracted picture, a username, and a user profile picture will be displayed in the thumbnail. If a user activity is text and a picture, the extracted text content, a username, a profile picture, and a selected target picture will be displayed in the thumbnail, and if there is more than one picture, the first two pictures will be selected for display, or if there is only one picture, the only one picture will be shown.

When the content of the target information is different, the extracted content of the target information will change, and the content of the corresponding thumbnail will also be different due to this. Therefore, when seeing thumbnails with different content, the user can know immediately which type of information is posted by an information publisher, so that the user can quickly browse the content of a wide variety of newly generated information.

As an optional implementation, the displaying, in the information presentation page, a thumbnail corresponding to each piece of target information includes:
displaying, in a first display region of the information presentation page, the thumbnail corresponding to each piece of target information, where the first display region includes at least one display subregion, and each display subregion is used to display one thumbnail.

Optionally, the first display region is specifically a display box region or a specified display region, and the first display region is a display region that can move with an input by the user.

Optionally, the displaying, in a first display region of the information presentation page, the thumbnail corresponding to each piece of target information includes: arranging, according to a preset arrangement manner, the thumbnails in a predetermined presentation template for presentation, where the presentation template includes a plurality of presentation positions, and each presentation position is used to present one thumbnail.

As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, when the thumbnails are displayed, the predetermined presentation template may be a template in the form of a grid or a template in the form of a list, and displays the thumbnails in a grid view or in a list view. For the plurality of presentation positions in the presentation template, there are different arrangement and display positions for the presentation positions depending on different predetermined presentation forms of the presentation template. Thumbnails of updated information (namely, the target information) of user activities in Moments are displayed in each square of the grid. If the number of pieces of updated information of Moments exceeds the specified number of thumbnails that can be displayed in the grid, the thumbnails will be presented in a page turning form. A page turning key is set on the predetermined presentation template, and the display of presentation positions in a plurality of pages is achieved by means of "Previous" and "Next" in the page turning key. This achieves the display of thumbnails corresponding to a wide variety of updated information, and makes it convenient for the user to browse and view.

The predetermined presentation template is displayed on the display screen of the terminal in such a form that the predetermined presentation template can be dragged, zoomed, and closed. The user can drag the predetermined presentation template to adjust its position displayed on the display screen. The user can also drag and zoom the predetermined presentation template to adjust to an appropriate viewing size for the user to browse and view.

Specifically, optionally, the arranging, according to a preset arrangement manner, the thumbnails in a predetermined presentation template for presentation includes:
determining information display priorities of accounts corresponding to different target information; and arranging and displaying the thumbnails in the predetermined presentation template according to the information display priorities.

When the thumbnails are displayed, the information display priorities set by the user may be considered. According to sticky-on-top activities and a blocked list set by the user in advance, target information to be sticky on top will be displayed in the first page, and blocked target information will simply not be displayed, which satisfies the needs of the user and provides a better use experience.

Further, as an optional implementation, display regions of the information presentation page include the first display region and a second display region, and that the information presentation page is used to present information posted by at least one account includes the following:.

In this process, the content displayed in the information presentation page may be updated on the display screen with an input by the user, and specifically, the content in the page is swiped for display. While the content in the information presentation page is swiped for display on the display screen, the display position of the at least one thumbnail is fixed. In this way, while the information presentation page is swiped up and down by means of the swipe input operation of the user, the thumbnail is not affected by a drag input by the user and does not interfere with the information presentation page, which is convenient for the user to operate.

As an optional implementation, before the displaying, in the information presentation page, a thumbnail corresponding to each piece of target information, the information display method further includes:
receiving a first input by a user on the information presentation page; displaying a target key in response to the first input; and receiving a second input by the user for the target key; and the displaying, in the information presentation page, a thumbnail corresponding to each piece of target information includes: displaying, in the information presentation page in response to the second input, the thumbnail corresponding to each piece of target information.

The target key may be a virtual key or a mechanical physical key. The target key is a thumbnail call-out display key. In this process, after the terminal enters the information presentation page, the display of the thumbnails is achieved by means of the invocation of the call-out display key and a trigger operation on the key by the user, and the terminal enters an information thumbnail display mode, to display the target information in the information presentation page in a thumbnail mode.

Specifically, when the thumbnails are arranged in a predetermined presentation template for presentation, the predetermined presentation template may be called out or displayed for use by itself according to the preference of the user, and the call-out display is performed by using the call-out display key, to display the thumbnails in the invoked predetermined presentation template.

The first input may be determined and obtained when a swipe operation, input by the user, of swiping from one side edge of the display screen of the terminal to the opposite side edge of the display screen is received, and the "call-out key" is displayed.

The second input may be a drag input, a long-press input, a single-tap input, and a double-tap input to the target key. Specifically, the target information is a new message posted by the at least one account, and after the obtaining target information in an information presentation page, the information display method further includes: directly and sequentially displaying the target information in the information presentation page. In this way, the thumbnail of the target information is displayed while the normal display of the target information is implemented, which is convenient for the user to quickly browse the target information and view the complete content of the updated information, and is convenient for the user to operate.

The displaying the thumbnail specifically includes: displaying the thumbnail in the information presentation page. This implementation is applied to a case that the terminal has only one display screen.

However, when the terminal has two or more display screens, the information thumbnail is displayed in the following manner:
the terminal includes a first screen and a second screen, the information presentation page is displayed on the first screen, and after the displaying, in the information presentation page, a thumbnail corresponding to each piece of target information, the information display method further includes: receiving a third input by the user; and in response to the third input, turning on the second screen and displaying the thumbnail on the second screen.

The third input is used to wake up the second screen. The first screen (main screen) and the second screen (sub-screen) may be screens on the same side of the terminal. For example, the first screen and the second screen are both screens on the front of the terminal. Alternatively, the first screen and the second screen may be screens on different sides of the terminal. For example, the first screen is a screen on the front of the terminal, and the second screen is a screen on the back of the terminal. In specific cases, it may be set according to actual needs.

To make the display of the information thumbnail clearer and easier to view, when the terminal has two or more display screens, the information presentation page and the information thumbnail are displayed on different display screens. As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, when there are two display screens, the information presentation page is displayed on the first screen (main screen), and the thumbnail is displayed on the second screen (sub-screen). The second screen is woken up by the third input by the user. Before the third input by the user is received, the second screen is in a screen-off display state at this time. After the second screen becomes active, the predetermined presentation template may be displayed on the second screen to display the information thumbnail in the invoked predetermined presentation template. The plurality of screens help the user quickly browse and view the updated information.

Specifically, the third input by the user may be as follows:
the receiving a third input by the user includes:
receiving a drag input by the user dragging the thumbnail to a display edge of the first screen, and in a case where duration of a drag operation that the thumbnail is dragged to the display edge of the first screen is greater than specified duration, determining that the third input by the user is received, as shown in <FIG>.

The specified duration may be <NUM> to <NUM>. The thumbnail is first displayed in the information presentation page, and the user may further drag the thumbnail to the edge of the first screen and holds it for about <NUM>, to start the second screen and present the thumbnail on the sub-screen. When the thumbnail is displayed in the predetermined presentation template, a drag input by the user dragging the predetermined presentation template to the display edge of the first screen is received, and in a case where duration of a drag operation that the predetermined presentation template is dragged to the display edge of the first screen is greater than the specified duration, it is determined that the third input by the user is received.

Alternatively, the receiving a third input by the user includes: in a case where a double tap of the user on the thumbnail is received, determining that the third input by the user is received.

The user double-taps the thumbnail to start the second screen, and the thumbnail is displayed on the second screen. When the thumbnail is displayed in the predetermined presentation template, when a double tap of the user on the predetermined presentation template is received, it is determined that the third input by the user is received.

Alternatively, the receiving a third input by the user includes: in a case where an obstruction within a first area range is detected in an exterior spatial region of the first screen, and then it is detected that the area of the obstruction gradually decreases to within a second area range, determining that the third input by the user is received.

The obstruction is specifically a palm. In a case where the obstruction within the first area range is detected in the exterior spatial region of the first screen, and then it is detected that the area of the obstruction gradually decreases to within the second area range, it is determined that a flip operation of the palm is detected, and it is determined that the third input by the user is received. Specifically, the user uses a palm to hang over the main screen and rotate it ninety degrees clockwise. A gesture of the palm that is vertical to the screen is herein referred to as a gesture of turning a book. Then the second screen is started and turned on, and the information thumbnail is output and displayed on the second screen, as shown in <FIG>.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide two implementations from the perspectives of a handheld single-screen device and dual-screen device of the user. The implementation related to a handheld single-screen device does not fall in the scope of the claims and is present for illustration purposes only.

If the terminal is a single-screen device, when the user opens Moments, a thumbnail grid of Moments activities is provided in a blank part of a display page of Moments, to display content thumbnails of a publisher and information. This grid can be dragged, zoomed, and closed, and the user can drag its position according to actual needs. Thumbnails of several keywords of the content for the text type, and the first two pictures for the picture type are extracted for display. In this way, activities of more users can be displayed on one screen, which greatly increases the number of pieces of content displayed and helps the user quickly find content that he/she wants to view. If the user sets a sticky-on-top user, updated information of the sticky-on-top user will be displayed preferentially.

If the terminal is a dual-screen device, the user opens Moments on the first screen, and presents, on the second screen, the thumbnail grid of the updated information in Moments that is mentioned above; and the user quickly browses the thumbnail information of the updated information in Moments on the second screen. The multi-screen advantage is used to increase the display content and forms of Moments.

Further, after the displaying, in the information presentation page, a thumbnail corresponding to each piece of target information, the information display method further includes:
receiving a fourth input by a user selecting a target thumbnail from the thumbnail; and in response to the fourth input, updating display content of the information presentation page to first content, where the first content includes first target information corresponding to the target thumbnail.

In this process, in response to the fourth input, on the display screen, the information presentation page is directed to a display position of the first target information corresponding to the target thumbnail, and the first target information is displayed.

Before the fourth input is received, content displayed in the information presentation page is second content. The second content may be content presented in the information presentation page after the terminal enters the information presentation page, or one piece of display content updated and displayed in the information presentation page with the swipe input by the user, where the piece of display content includes at least one piece of second target information. After the fourth input is received, the at least one piece of second target information is updated and displayed as the first target information corresponding to the target thumbnail.

The target information corresponding to the target thumbnail has an information display position in the information presentation page, and complete display content of the target information corresponding to the target thumbnail is displayed at the information display position. When the user selects one target thumbnail from the thumbnails, the current display position of the information presentation page is directed to the information display position corresponding to the target thumbnail, which helps the user quickly find the information content that he/she wants to view, thereby saving the user's time and improving user experience, reducing the cost of information viewing, and providing a diverse manner of presenting Moments.
