DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

In order to make the objective, technical solution, and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent, with reference to the drawings, a clear, complete description will be provided below about the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described here are only a part of embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments described here, the ordinary skilled in the art could acquire all of the other embodiments falling into the scope of protection of the present disclosure, without doing creative work.

With the development of terminal technology, various terminal devices have been widely used in daily life. Nowadays, a lot of terminal devices employ the Android system. The Android system provides a message prompt function with bubble messages, i.e., after a user operates a certain application on the terminal device, in response to the current user operation, the application will display a message prompt block on the terminal device for the user to view, and such message prompt block will automatically disappear after a while, without distracting attention. Since the bubble messages are not fixed in relative position and text length, developers typically have to develop separately and adaptively the bubble messages in terms of display position and display manner, which affects the development efficiency.

In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, the present disclosure provides the following technical conception of: automatically determining a display position and a text display manner of a bubble message based on a position of an anchor object relative to the terminal screen, saving the developers' efforts in separate, adaptive development and thus improving the development efficiency.

The wireless terminal can communicate with one or more core network devices via a Radio Access Network (RAN), which may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone (or also referred to as “cellular” phone) or a computer having a mobile terminal, for example, a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer in-built or on-vehicle mobile device that can exchange language and/or data with the RAN. For another example, the wireless terminal may be a device such as a Personal Communication Service (PCS) phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like.

Alternatively, the terminal device may be a device such as a smart watch, a tablet, and the like.

FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic flowchart I of the information display method provided by embodiments of the present disclosure. The method according to those embodiments may be applied to the terminal device as shown therein, or may be applied to other electronic devices, which is not limited here. The information display method includes:

S201: identifying an anchor object.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the anchor object is a type of hyperlink in an application, through which a link to a specified object, for example, a new file or any other message element, can be attained.

A user can link to other new webpage by clicking on the anchor object, or may open a new message by clicking on the anchor object.

For example, a user clicks on an icon (which is the anchor object) in instant messaging software to open the applet page or game page corresponding to the icon.

S202: based on position information of the anchor object on the terminal screen, determining a display position and a display manner of a bubble message corresponding to the anchor object.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a computing model for computing the display position and the display manner of the bubble message can be determined based on a distance of the anchor object on the terminal screen relative to a terminal screen edge, and the display position and the display manner of the bubble message can be determined based on the computing model.

S203: in response to an operation on the anchor object, displaying the bubble message at the displaying position on the terminal screen in the display manner.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a user triggers the anchor object by a click on mouse, a touch control or a visual control, and a request is sent to the server based on the trigger of the anchor object so that the server sends a bubble message to the terminal device and displays the bubble message at a corresponding display position on the terminal screen in a corresponding display manner.

From the above description, it can be learned that, by identifying the anchor object and determining, based on a position of the anchor object relative to the terminal screen, a display position and a text display manner of a bubble message, the solution according to the embodiments can enable automatic computing of the display position and the text display manner of the bubble message, saving the developers' efforts in separate and adaptive development and thus improving the development efficiency.

FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic flowchart II of the information display method provided by embodiments of the present disclosure. In those embodiments, the detailed description is provided on how to specifically determine a display position and a display manner of a bubble message corresponding to the anchor object, based on position information of the anchor object on the terminal screen, specifically:

S301: determining an offset amount of the anchor object from a left edge of the terminal screen.

S302: based on the offset amount, determining a computing model for computing the display position and the display manner of the bubble message.

S303: based on the computing model, computing the display position and a text display manner of the bubble message.

In a possible implementation of the present disclosure, in step S302, if the offset amount is less than a first preset threshold, it is determined that the computing model for computing the display position and the display manner of the bubble message is a first computing model, where the first computing model performs the following computing:

Based on a distance from the left edge of the anchor object to the left edge of the terminal screen, a minimum offset amount of a message prompt block of a preset bubble message from the left or right side of the terminal screen, a distance from the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the anchor object is computed, specifically with the following equation:

$\mathrm{xoffset}=\mathrm{amchorx}-\mathrm{leftorrightoffset}$

where xoffset is the distance from the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the anchor object; anchorx is the distance from the left edge of the anchor object to the left edge of the terminal screen; and leftorrightoffset is the minimum offset amount of the message prompt block of the preset bubble message from the left or right side of the terminal screen.

Based on the distance from the left edge of the message prompt block to the left edge of the anchor object, a width of the anchor object, and a width of an arrow of the message prompt block of the bubble message, a distance from the arrow of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message is computed, specifically with the following equation:

$\mathrm{leftMargin}=\mathrm{xoffset}+\frac{\mathrm{anchorviewwidth}}{2}-\mathrm{arrowviewwidth}$

where leftMargin is the distance from the arrow of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message; anchorviewwidth is the width of the anchor object; arrowviewwidth is the width of the arrow of the message prompt block of the bubble message.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the first offset amount is less than the first preset threshold, the anchor object is located in the left region of the terminal device.

Correspondingly, in step S303, computing, based on the computing model, the display position and the text display manner of the bubble message includes: based on the distance from the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the anchor object computed by the first computing model, determining the display position of the bubble message; and based on the distance from the arrow of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the bubble prompt block of the bubble message computed by the first computing model, determining the text display manner of the bubble message.

The distance from the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the anchor object is determined as a starting position of a left edge of the display position of the bubble message.

Based on the distance from the arrow of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the bubble prompt block of the bubble message, the arrow of the message prompt block is displayed, to serve as the text display manner of the bubble message.

As can be seen from the above description, in the case where the anchor object is located in the left region of the terminal screen, the display position and the display manner of the bubble message are automatically computed by the first computing model. The display position and the display manner obtained are more reasonable and provide better user experience in use.

In a further possible implementation of the present disclosure, in step S302, if the offset amount is greater than a second preset threshold, it is determined that the computing model for determining the display position and the display manner of the bubble message is a second computing model, where the second computing model performs the following computing:

Based on a text width of the bubble message, the width of the terminal screen, the distance from the left edge of the anchor object to the left edge of the terminal screen, and the minimum offset amount from the message prompt block of the preset bubble message to the left or right side of the terminal screen, a distance from the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the anchor object is computed, specifically with the following equation:

$\mathrm{xoffset}=\mathrm{textwidth}-\left(\mathrm{screenwidth}-\mathrm{anchorx}\right)+\mathrm{leftorrightoffset}$

where xoffset is the distance from the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the anchor object; textwidth is the text width of the bubble message; screenwidth is the width of the terminal screen; anchorx is the distance from the left edge of the anchor object to the left edge of the screen terminal; leftorrightoffset is the minimum offset amount from the message prompt block of the preset bubble message to the left or right side of the terminal screen.

Based on the distance from the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the anchor object, the width of the anchor object, and the width of the arrow of the message prompt block of the bubble message, the distance from the arrow of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message is computed, specifically with the following equation:

$\mathrm{leftMargin}=\mathrm{xoffset}+\frac{\mathrm{anchorviewwidth}-\mathrm{arrowviewwidth}}{2}$

where leftMargin is the distance from the arrow of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message; anchorviewwidth is the width of the anchor object; arrowviewwidth is the width of the arrow of the message prompt block of the bubble message. The second preset threshold is greater than the first preset threshold.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the offset amount is greater than the second preset threshold, the anchor object is located in the right region of the terminal screen.

Correspondingly, in step S303, computing, based on the computing model, the display position and the text display manner of the bubble message includes:

based on the distance from the left side of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the anchor object computed by the second computing model, determining the display position of the bubble message; and based on the distance from the arrow of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message computed by the second computing model, determining the text display manner of the bubble message.

From the above description, it can be learned that, in the case where the anchor object is located in the right region of the terminal screen, the display position and the display manner of the bubble message are automatically computed by the second computing model. The display position and the display manner obtained are more reasonable and provide better user experience in use.

In a still further possible implementation of the present disclosure, in step S302, if the offset amount is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, and is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, it is determined that the computing model for computing the display position and the display manner of the bubble message is a third computing model, where the second computing model performs the following computing:

Based on the text width of the bubble message and the width of the anchor object, a distance from the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left side of the anchor object is computed, specifically with the following equation:

$\mathrm{xoffset}=\frac{\mathrm{textwidth}-anchorviewwidth}{2}$

where xoffset is the distance from the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the anchor object; textwidth is the text width of the bubble message; anchorviewwidth is the width of the anchor object.

It is computed that the arrow of the message prompt block of the bubble message is located in a center of the text of the bubble message.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the offset amount is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, and less than or equal to the second preset threshold, the anchor object is located in the middle region of the terminal screen.

Correspondingly, in step S303, computing, based on the computing mode, the display manner and the text display manner of the bubble message includes:

Based on the distance from the left edge of the message prompt block of the bubble message to the left edge of the anchor object obtained by the third computing model, determining the display position of the bubble message; and based on that the arrow of the message prompt block of the bubble message is located in the center of the text of the bubble message, determining the text display manner of the bubble message.

From the above description, it can be learned that, in the case where the anchor object is located in the middle region of the terminal screen, the display position and the display manner of the bubble message automatically computed by the third computing model. The display position and the display manner obtained are more reasonable and provide better user experience in use.
