For example, in case of a user authorization, relevant information can be grabbed automatically and then a reminder thereof is output such that the user does not need to set anything individually.

It should be noted that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and explanatory and should not be construed as limiting of the present disclosure.

The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated into the specification and constitute a part of the specification, show exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The drawings along with the specification explain the principles of the present disclosure.

Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the accompanying drawings are described below, the same reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements in different figures unless indicated otherwise. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with aspects of the present invention as recited in the appended claims.

<FIG> is a flowchart showing an interface display method for hiboard according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in <FIG>, the method may be used in a terminal, including the following steps.

In step S11, state information of a terminal is displayed on a dynamic message display area of the hiboard.

In this step, the state information of the terminal may include various service information, various service state information, all associated service information in a current scenario, and all associated service state information in the current scenario. For example, the state information of the terminal may include a travel service, various states of the travel service, and services associated with the travel service (such as ticket information).

The state information of the terminal displayed on the dynamic message display area of the hiboard is obtained from the server side. For example, data source of all services informs the server side of the current service state, and the server side obtains different service states, and grades all services for ranking according to urgencies of matters (i.e., the emergency procedure of the service), scene attribute, and time sequence in which service events occur. The service with high score is ranked high (that is, the priority of the state information of the terminal is determined, where the priority of the state information can be directly proportional to the ranking, and the higher the priority, the higher the ranking is, and the priority of the state information can be determined by the server side regardless of the mobile terminal side). After that, the server side will package the ranking based on the scores and the service and return it to the client terminal. The client terminal can display the state information of the terminal on the dynamic message display area according to the received ranking and service. The dynamic message display area may be a display area separately divided on the hiboard, or an existing display area may be reused as the dynamic message display area.

In addition, the server side may also confirm whether the current service (equivalent to the state information of the terminal displayed on the dynamic message display area) is associated with other service content. If the current service is associated with other service content, a service associated with the current service is returned to the client terminal for display.

In step S12, associated information of the state information is displayed on a top display area of the hiboard according to the state information on the dynamic message display area.

When the state information on the dynamic message display area is updated, the associated information on the top display area may be updated. When the state information is not updated within a preset time, preset information may be displayed on the top display area.

The top display area herein may be a display area separately divided at the top of the hiboard, or the top position of the hiboard may be reused as the top display area.

It can be seen from the above method steps that in the present exemplary embodiment, when the user slides to the hiboard, the terminal may automatically display the state information of the terminal obtained from the server side at the first time without the user's triggering, for example, as the terminal displays the current service dynamics, illustrates the state of the terminal, and reminds the user, that is, the user is reminded of things that the user needs to deal with at the moment or things that have been updated dynamically, thereby providing high product value and user value.

The associated information of the state information of the terminal displayed on the top display area herein may be in various forms, and may show the content of the current service in a simple and clear manner (i.e., for the state information of the terminal, abstract copy or associated content thereof is displayed on the top display area of the hiboard), so that the effect of reminding or explaining can be achieved. For example, the associated information of the state information may include one or more of a copy prompt description corresponding to the current state information of the terminal, a prompt description for a service associated with the current state information of the terminal, and a shortcut function associated with the current state information of the terminal.

By taking the state information of the terminal for travel as example, the specific content of the associated information displayed on the top display area is described below.

It is assumed that the state information of the terminal is for travel, corresponding travel reminder or arrival reminder may be provided according to different states of a travel card. Such prompt description may be considered as a copy prompt description corresponding to the current state of the terminal, belonging to one type of the associated information displayed on the top display area.

It is also possible to indicate temperature and traffic conditions of travel destination based on weather card, commuter card, etc. associated with the travel card. Such prompt description may be regarded as a prompt description of the service associated with the current state of the terminal, belonging to another type of associated information displayed on the top display area.

It may also be based on some gadgets associated with the travel card, such as clock display of the travel destination, currency exchange rate display, etc.. Such display prompt may be considered as a shortcut function associated with the current state of the terminal, belonging to yet another type of associated information displayed on the top display area.

When the interface of the hiboard is displayed according to the above method, different contents may be displayed on different areas of the hiboard. For example, the hiboard may be set in advance to have three areas, a display area (referred to as a top display area in this example), a shortcut area (equivalent to a function card display area), and an update area (referred to as a bottom dynamic message display area in this example). For convenience of description, the above three areas are respectively disposed at the top, middle, and bottom of the hiboard, but in practical applications, it is not limited to division in such manner, and division in any other manner may be used.

The update area may dynamically display corresponding service, that is, display the state information of the terminal, according to current geographical location and time. Alternatively, all services may be graded for ranking according to urgencies of all services, scene attributes, and time points at which events occur, and then displayed on the update area according to the ranking. That is, the state information of the terminal displayed on the update area includes multiple pieces of information, which can be displayed on the update area according to priorities thereof. When the update area cannot display all the pieces of information of the state information, the information with lower ranking may be hid in a manner of folded window, or all the pieces of information of the state information may be dynamically displayed in a scrolling manner.

The display area may preferentially display the associated information of the state information with the highest ranking on the dynamic message display area according to service change (that is, the update of the state information of the terminal) on the update area. The associated information of other state information on the dynamic message display area may be displayed on the top display area according to a preset manner. For example, the preset manner is in the form of scrolling display up and down, or the preset manner is that prompt descriptions for specified services are displayed in scrolling manner, etc.. At this time, the display interface of the hiboard is as shown in <FIG>. In addition, regardless of whether the state information of the terminal on the dynamic message display area includes one or more pieces of information, the top display area may be configured to display only the associated information of the state information with highest priority.

When there is no change in the update area, the display area may display some alternative copies according to current location of user and time. That is, if the state information of the terminal on the dynamic message display area is not updated within a preset time, and preset information may be displayed on the top display area.

For example, it can be seen from the display interface of the hiboard shown in <FIG> that the user has a flight after <NUM> hours, so the travel card has the highest urgency, and the travel scene attribute is P0. At this time, it is displayed in the first place of the update area. That is, in the state information of the terminal displayed on the dynamic message display area, the travel is placed first. At the same time, the user's current geographic location is obtained, and the navigation routes from the current location to the airport (i.e., the commute card, which is a card associated with the travel card) are presented to the user, to recommend different transportation modes to the user. The user can see the commute card and the travel card on the update area at this time. That is, the state information of the terminal displayed on the dynamic message display area includes the commute information. On the display area, the user can see the associated information of the corresponding scene of "it's time to go to the airport and it will take <NUM> hour and <NUM> minutes for the whole journey" (not shown). When the user arrives at the destination, the card in the update area will show the baggage carousel number of the flight, the local weather, and the strategy recommendation, and will display "Welcome to New York" on the display area, and a dual clock (the dual clock displayed can be considered as a prompt description of the service associated with the current state of the terminal).

As can be seen from the above, the technical solution of the present embodiment can combine the capability of each CP, and package the services (including the current service and its associated services) required by the user in the entire scenario. While the services are displayed on the update area, the top display area also presents valuable associated information, such as promote information, to make the user more aware of what needs to be handled at that time. Moreover, the frequency of the user using the hiboard assistant is improved, and in comparison with the operation of the related art that numbers of Apps need to be opened, all the services in the embodiment can be integrated into the hiboard assistant for operating, which greatly reduces the operation of the user.

<FIG> is a structural block diagram showing an interface display device for a hiboard according to an exemplary embodiment, which may be built in a mobile terminal, or may be a separate device from the mobile terminal. The interface display device for hiboard may include a dynamic update module and a dynamic prompt module.

The dynamic update module is configured to display state information of a terminal on a dynamic message display area of the hiboard.

The dynamic prompt module is configured to display associated information of the state information on a top display area of the hiboard according to the state information, update the associated information when the state information is updated, and display preset information on the top display area when the state information is not updated within a preset time.

The associated information of the state information herein includes one or more of: a copy prompt description corresponding to the state information, a prompt description for a service associated with the state information, and a shortcut function associated with the state information.

The above two modules may display the state information of the terminal and dynamically display the associated information of the state information on different areas of the hiboard, respectively. The top display area and the dynamic message display area may be divided on the hiboard in advance. The top area of the hiboard may be reused as the top display area for displaying the associated information of the state information, and any area of the hiboard may be reused as the dynamic message display area for displaying the state information of the terminal.

The state information of the terminal may include service information of the terminal, service state information, all associated service information in the current scenario, and all associated service state information in the current scenario. For example, the dynamic message display area may display travel information of a flight, dynamically update the user's location according to time or place information, and display the weather, the strategy and the like of the corresponding position of the user travel destination.

The dynamic prompt module may be configured to display the associated information of the current service on the top display area. For example, the content of the top display area is updated according to the updated content of the dynamic message display area. When the user arrives, clocks of two regions may be displayed on the top display area.
