Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a character string display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The character string display apparatus in this embodiment includes an acquiring module 301, an analyzing module 302, and a display module 303.

The acquiring module 301 is configured to acquire character string data, the character string data being data corresponding to a to-be-displayed character string, and the character string including at least one character. Specifically, the acquiring module 301 may be configured to acquire the character string data from a database, and may also be configured to receive the character string data from a server.

The analyzing module 302 is configured to analyze the character string data to generate an analysis result. The analysis result includes number of digit information related to the character string (the number of characters in the character string) and digit sequence information of each character (an arrangement order of the characters in the character string).

In one embodiment, the display module 303 may include a hardware component such as a display screen and related software components managing the display on the display screen. The display module 303 is configured to display, digit by digit according to the digit sequence information and the number of digit information, a picture set corresponding to each character, the picture set including at least one picture. Specifically, for one character in the character string, the display module 303 displays, one by one, each picture in a picture set corresponding to the character, and after displaying all the pictures in the picture set completely, for a character at a next digit in the character string, the display module 303 displays, one by one, each picture in a picture set corresponding to the character. As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, a picture “0” to a picture “5” in a picture set corresponding to a character “5” in the ones place are displayed first one by one; a picture “0” to a picture “7” in a picture set corresponding to a character “7” in the tens place are displayed one by one; a picture “0” to a picture “8” in a picture set corresponding to a character “8” at the hundreds place are displayed one by one; and a picture “0” to a picture “9” in a picture set corresponding to a character “9” at the thousands place are displayed one by one. The content of the picture is related to a numeral set corresponding to the character.

By means of the foregoing technical solution, the character string display apparatus in the present disclosure can dynamically display a character string, thereby overcoming the defect that using a Flash animation cannot meet the requirement of dynamic change of characters, and also overcoming the defect that upper and lower limits of numerals cannot be restricted.

Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a character string display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is similar to the method in FIG. 1, and a difference is described as follows:

In the character string display apparatus in this embodiment, the display module 303 is configured to display, in sequence in a preset order, each picture in the picture set corresponding to the to-be-displayed character. The preset order includes: from a character at a low-place-value digit to a character at a high-place-value digit; from a character at a high-place-value digit to a character at a low-place-value digit; and from a character at any digit to a character at a high-place-value digit and a character at a low-place-value digit separately.

The apparatus further includes a determining module 401.

The determining module 401 is configured to determine, every first predetermined time, whether a display process value of the picture set corresponding to the to-be-displayed character is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, and generate a determining result. The determining result includes the following two cases: in the first case, the display process value of the picture set is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold; in the second case, the display process value of the picture set is less than the predetermined threshold. The determining module 401 is further configured to send a trigger signal to the display module 303 when the determining result is the first case, where the trigger signal is used for triggering the display module 303 to display pictures in a picture set corresponding to a character at a next digit.

The display module 303 is further configured to set a character at an adjacent higher-order digit as the to-be-displayed character in a case in which the determining result is that the display process value is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold, and repeat the foregoing operations until a picture set corresponding to a character at the highest-order digit in the character string is completely displayed, and configured to continue, in a case in which the determining result is that the display process value is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold, to display each picture in the picture set corresponding to the to-be-displayed character in sequence.

For example, it is assumed that the predetermined threshold is 9, there are 10 pictures in the picture set that corresponds to the character and is being displayed, and the display module 303 has displayed 9 pictures among them; therefore, the display process value is 9. In this case, the display process value is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold. The display module 303 is further configured to continue to display the 10^th picture in the picture set, and at the same time, is configured to start displaying each picture in a picture set corresponding to a character at a next digit (for example, at an adjacent higher-order digit or lower-order digit), and repeat the foregoing operations until all pictures in a picture set corresponding to the last character in the character string are displayed.

In the character string display apparatus in this embodiment, the display module 303 is further configured to keep displaying of a final picture corresponding to the displayed character before a second predetermined time is reached, in other words, from a time of displaying the first character (a character corresponding to a start digit) to a time when the preset time is reached, for the displayed character, the display module 303 is configured to keep the final picture (the last picture/a character corresponding to an end digit) in the corresponding picture set in a display state.

The first predetermined time may be preset. For example, the first predetermined time is 0.5 second, 0.1 second, or the like. The first predetermined time may further be obtained by real-time (dynamic) calculation according to the number of pictures in the picture set corresponding to the character, for example, in a case in which the picture set corresponding to the character has 5 pictures, the display module 303 is configured to set the first predetermined time to 1.5 seconds, or in a case in which the picture set corresponding to the character has 8 pictures, the display module 303 is configured to set the first predetermined time to 2.4 seconds, and so on.

Similarly, the second predetermined time may also be preset, such as 10 seconds or 30 seconds. The second predetermined time may be further set according to a time actually required for displaying the character string, for example, in a case in which the character string has 4 characters (the number of digit information is 4), the display module 303 is configured to set the second predetermined time to 16 seconds, or in a case in which the character string has 6 characters (the number of digit information is 6), the display module 303 is configured to set the second predetermined time to 24 seconds.

In the character string display apparatus in this embodiment, the display module 303 is further configured to acquire display area information according to the number of digit information, and configured to display, in a sub-area in sequence in a preset order, each picture in the picture set corresponding to the to-be-displayed character, where the display area information corresponds to a display area of the character string, the display area includes at least one sub-area, and the sub-area corresponds to a display position of the character.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the display area information includes the display position of the character string, the sub-area is used to display the picture in the picture set corresponding to the character, and the sub-area corresponds to the picture in terms of size and shape.

In the character string display apparatus in this embodiment, each picture in the picture set is displayed in a preset display mode, and the preset display mode includes at least one of a scroll mode, a gradient mode, a zoom mode, and a flash mode.

Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a fourth embodiment of a character string display apparatus according to the present disclosure. This embodiment is similar to any one of the first to third embodiments as described above, and a difference is described as follows:

In the character string display apparatus in this embodiment, the analysis result further includes a character value corresponding to each character.

The predetermined threshold corresponds to the character value.

The apparatus further includes a process value generating module 501 and a predetermined threshold generating module 502.

The process value generating module 501 is configured to generate the display process value according to the number of pictures in the picture set that have been displayed. Specifically, the process value generating module 501 generates the display process value in real time according to a display state of pictures in the picture set.

The predetermined threshold generating module 502 is configured to generate the predetermined threshold according to the character value. Specifically, after the analyzing module 302 obtains through analyzing the character value, the predetermined threshold generating module acquires the character value corresponding to the to-be-displayed character, and generates the predetermined threshold according to the character value. For example, the character value is 10, and the predetermined threshold may be 9, 9.5, 8.8, or the like.

The fifth embodiment of the character string display apparatus in the present disclosure is similar to any one of the first to fourth embodiments as described above, and a difference is described as follows:

In the character string display apparatus in this embodiment, the analysis result further includes system information related to the character string.

The display module 303 is further configured to acquire the picture set according to the system information and the character value, where the number of the pictures in the picture set corresponds to the character value. For example, in a case in which the system information corresponds to a hexadecimal system, the display module 303 is configured to acquire sixteen pictures, where the sixteen pictures form the picture set.

Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a character string display method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The character string display method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

Step 601: An acquiring module 301 acquires character string data, the character string data being data corresponding to a to-be-displayed character string, and the character string including at least one character. Specifically, the acquiring module 301 may acquire the character string data from a database, and may also receive the character string data from a server or a server.

Step 602: An analyzing module 302 analyzes the character string data, so as to generate an analysis result. The analysis result includes number of digit information related to the character string (the number of characters in the character string) and digit sequence information of each character (an arrangement order of the characters in the character string).

Step 603: A display module 303 displays, digit by digit according to the digit sequence information and the number of digit information, a picture set corresponding to each character, the picture set including at least one picture. Specifically, for one character in the character string, the display module 303 displays, one by one, each picture in a picture set corresponding to the character, and after displaying all the pictures in the picture set completely, for a character at a next digit in the character string, the display module 303 displays, one by one, each picture in a picture set corresponding to the character. As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, a picture “0” to a picture “5” in a picture set corresponding to a character “5” in the ones place are displayed first one by one; a picture “0” to a picture “7” in a picture set corresponding to a character “7” in the tens place are displayed one by one; a picture “0” to a picture “8” in a picture set corresponding to a character “8” at the hundreds place are displayed one by one; and a picture “0” to a picture “9” in a picture set corresponding to a character “9” at the thousands place are displayed one by one. The content of the picture is related to a numeral set corresponding to the character.

By means of the foregoing technical solution, the character string display method in the present disclosure can dynamically display a character string, thereby overcoming the defect that using a Flash animation cannot meet the requirement of dynamic change of characters, and also overcoming the defect that upper and lower limits of numerals cannot be restricted.

Referring to FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a specific working flowchart of displaying, digit by digit according to the digit sequence information and the number of digit information, a picture set corresponding to each character.

In the character string display method in this embodiment, the step of displaying, digit by digit according to the digit sequence information and the number of digit information, a picture set corresponding to each character (that is, step 603) includes:

Step 701: The display module 303 displays, in sequence in a preset order, each picture in the picture set corresponding to the to-be-displayed character. The preset order includes: from a character at a low-place-value digit to a character at a high-place-value digit; from a character at a high-place-value digit to a character at a low-place-value digit; and from a character at any digit to a character at a high-place-value digit and a character at a low-place-value digit separately.

Step 702: The determining module 401 determines, every first predetermined time, whether a display process value of the picture set corresponding to the to-be-displayed character is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, and generates a determining result. The determining result includes the following two cases: in the first case, the display process value of the picture set is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold; in the second case, the display process value of the picture set is less than the predetermined threshold. The determining module 401 sends a trigger signal to the display module 303 when the determining result is the first case, where the trigger signal triggers the display module 303 to display pictures in a picture set corresponding to a character at a next digit.

In the first case, the determining module 401 further determines whether the display module completely displays a picture set corresponding to the highest-order digit (an end digit), and in a case in which the picture set corresponding to the highest-order digit (the end digit) is displayed completely, step 705 is performed; otherwise, step 704 is performed.

In the second case, go back to step 701 to continue to perform step 701.

Step 704: The display module 303 sets a character at an adjacent higher-order digit as the to-be-displayed character in a case in which the determining result is that the display process value is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold, and repeats the foregoing steps until a picture set corresponding to a character at the highest-order digit in the character string is completely displayed.

Step 705: The display module 303 continues, in a case in which the determining result is that the display process value is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold, to display each picture in the picture set corresponding to the to-be-displayed character in sequence.

For example, it is assumed that the predetermined threshold is 9, there are 10 pictures in the picture set that corresponds to the character and is being displayed, and the display module 303 has displayed 9 pictures among them; therefore, the display process value is 9. In this case, the display process value is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold. The display module 303 continues to display the 10^th picture in the picture set, and at the same time, starts displaying each picture in a picture set corresponding to a character at a next digit (for example, at an adjacent higher-order digit or lower-order digit), and repeats the foregoing operations until all pictures in a picture set corresponding to the last character in the character string are displayed.

In the character string display method in this embodiment, displaying of a final picture corresponding to the displayed character is kept before a second predetermined time is reached, in other words, from a time of displaying the first character (a character corresponding to a start digit) to a time when the preset time is reached, for the displayed character, the display module 303 keeps the final picture (the last picture/a character corresponding to the end digit) in the corresponding picture set in a display state.

The first predetermined time may be preset. For example, the first predetermined time is 0.5 second, 0.1 second, or the like. The first predetermined time may further be obtained by real-time (dynamic) calculation according to the number of pictures in the picture set corresponding to the character, for example, in a case in which the picture set corresponding to the character has 5 pictures, the display module 303 sets the first predetermined time to 1.5 seconds, or in a case in which the picture set corresponding to the character has 8 pictures, the display module 303 sets the first predetermined time to 2.4 seconds, and so on.

Similarly, the second predetermined time may also be preset, such as 10 seconds or 30 seconds. The second predetermined time may be further set according to a time actually required for displaying the character string, for example, in a case in which the character string has 4 characters (the number of digit information is 4), the display module 303 sets the second predetermined time to 16 seconds, or in a case in which the character string has 6 characters (the number of digit information is 6), the display module 303 sets the second predetermined time to 24 seconds.

In the character string display method in this embodiment, before the step of displaying, in sequence in a preset order, each picture in the picture set corresponding to the to-be-displayed character, the step of displaying, digit by digit according to the digit sequence information and the number of digit information, a picture set corresponding to each character further includes: acquiring, by the display module 303, display area information according to the number of digit information, where the display area information corresponds to a display area of the character string, the display area includes at least one sub-area, and the sub-area corresponds to a display area of the character.

The step of displaying, in sequence in a preset order, each picture in the picture set corresponding to the to-be-displayed character is:

displaying, by the display module 303 in the sub-area in sequence in a preset order, each picture in the picture set corresponding to the to-be-displayed character.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the display area information includes a display position of the character string, the sub-area displays the picture in the picture set corresponding to the character, and the sub-area corresponds to the picture in terms of size and shape.

In the character string display method in this embodiment, each picture in the picture set is displayed in a preset display mode, and the preset display mode includes at least one of a scroll mode, a gradient mode, a zoom mode, and a flash mode.

In the character string display method in this embodiment, the analysis result further includes a character value corresponding to each character.

The predetermined threshold corresponds to the character value.

The step of displaying, digit by digit according to the digit sequence information and the number of digit information, a picture set corresponding to each character further includes: generating, by a process value generating module 501, the display process value according to the number of pictures in the picture set that have been displayed. Specifically, the process value generating module 501 generates the display process value in real time according to a display state of pictures in the picture set.

The step of displaying, in sequence in a preset order, each picture in the picture set corresponding to the to-be-displayed character further includes: generating the predetermined threshold according to the character value. Specifically, after the analyzing module 302 obtains through analyzing the character value, the predetermined threshold generating module acquires the character value corresponding to the to-be-displayed character, and generates the predetermined threshold according to the character value. For example, the character value is 10, and the predetermined threshold may be 9, 9.5, 8.8, or the like.

The fifth embodiment of the character string display method in the present disclosure is similar to any one of the first to fourth embodiments as described above, and a difference is described as follows:

In the character string display method in this embodiment, the analysis result further includes system information related to the character string.

Before the step of displaying, digit by digit according to the digit sequence information and the number of digit information, a picture set corresponding to each character, the method further includes: acquiring, by the display module 303, the picture set according to the system information and the character value, where the number of the pictures in the picture set corresponds to the character value. For example, in a case in which the system information corresponds to a hexadecimal system, the display module 303 acquires sixteen pictures, where the sixteen pictures form the picture set.

The character string display method and apparatus in the present disclosure provide methods for adding a rolling effect to each digit of any character (for example, a numeral) and for adding triggering and restriction mechanisms between characters, so that the present disclosure has a strong adaptability, is not limited by the number of digits of the character, and can dynamically calculate upper and lower limits of each character. In summary, specific steps of the solution are as follows:

(A) Calculate the length of a character (for example, a numeral).

(B) Acquire a character (for example, a numeral) of each digit sequentially (for example, in an order from a low-place-value digit to a high-place-value digit), and determine upper and lower limits of a rolling character corresponding to the digit.

(C) In an interval directed to each rolling character, initialize the characters sequentially from a low-place-value digit to a high-place-value digit and add the character to a designated position of a display area (a screen); add a rolling animation for the characters in the rolling interval sequentially from a low-place-value digit to a high-place-value digit; and trigger an animation of a finally displayed character at this digit when animations of the characters in the rolling interval are completed.

(D) When the rolling effect of a character at a low-place-value digit is completed, trigger a rolling animation of a high-place-value digit, repeat steps (B) and (C) until the rolling effect of the whole character is completed, and trigger the animation to complete animation call-back.

By using the numeral 9875 as an example, a final display effect is shown in FIG. 13.

By using serial rolling display from a low-place-value digit to a high-place-value digit as an example, the numeral finally displayed at the ones place is 5 (decimal), the rolled numerals are numerals from the minimum mineral to the finally displayed numeral, that is, the rolling numerals at the ones place is “0”, “1”, “2”, “3” and “4”, and rolling is performed from “0” to “4” sequentially; a certain period of time is delayed (determined according to a requirement, the delay time herein is selected as a rolling time) after “0” is rolled and the rolling effect of a subsequent numeral is triggered, and the animation effect of the finally displayed numeral “5” is triggered after “4”, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9.

The animation effect of a numeral at a high-place-value digit is triggered when the final numeral at the ones place is displayed (or before the animation effect of the finally displayed numeral at the ones place is completed, to keep the consistency of the animation effects), as shown in FIG. 10 to FIG. 12.

As shown in FIG. 8 to FIG. 13, the rolling numerals of a low-place-value digit are values between “0” to the numeral at the digit, the animation effect of a smaller numeral is completed and called back to trigger the animation effect of a subsequent numeral, the animation effect of a high-place-value digit is triggered when the animation effect of a low-place-value digit is completed, and animation effect complete call-back is triggered after the animation effects of all digits are completed; therefore, control on each digit is implemented. The entire flowchart is shown in the following figure, and it is not limited by the number of digits.
