Abstract

A method and device for displaying pages in application program and a computer-readable medium are provided. The method includes: receiving a first preset operation of a user on an application program that is currently running; displaying path information of pages accessed historically by the user in the application program according to the first preset operation, wherein the path information comprise a sequential relationship among the pages.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for displaying a history of pages in a mobile application program, the method comprising:
receiving a first preset operation from a user on a mobile application program that is currently running; and
when a number of pages accessed historically by the user in the mobile application program is less than a first preset number,
displaying links of each of the pages accessed historically by the user in the mobile application program and arrows indicating a sequential relationship between every two adjacent pages among all of the accessed pages according to the first preset operation;
when the number of pages accessed historically by the user in the mobile application program is greater than or equals to the first preset number,
selecting a second preset number of pages from all of the pages accessed historically by the user in the mobile application program based on a preset rule specified by the user, wherein the second preset number is less than the first preset number,
displaying links of each of the selected pages and arrows indicating a sequential relationship between every two adjacent selected such that links of each of unselected pages between every two adjacent selected pages are hidden, and arrows indicating a sequential relationship between every two adjacent unselected pages and indicating a sequential relationship between a selected page and an unselected page are hidden,
receiving a third preset operation from the user for a link to one displayed page of the second preset number of pages,
determining a next displayed page adjacent to the one page associated with the third preset operation from the second preset number of pages according to the sequential relationship among the second preset number of pages,
determining whether, there are any hidden links of pages between the one displayed page and the next displayed page, and
displaying the hidden links of pages and associated arrows indicating a sequential relationship between the one displayed page and the next displayed page in response to determining that there are hidden links of pages between the one displayed page and the next displayed page, or
outputting reminding information indicating that there is no hidden information in response to determining that there are no hidden links of pages between the one displayed page and the next displayed page.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises: jumping from a current page to a page corresponding to the link of the one displayed page of the second preset number of pages when a second preset operation from the user for the link is received, wherein the second preset operation is different from the third preset operation.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein each of the links displayed from the first preset number or the second preset number comprises at least one of:
a page identification; and
a page thumbnail with a preset size.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
determining time information of the user accessing each page according to the user's history of accessing the pages; and
determining the sequential relationship among the pages according to the time information.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
recording a timing relationship between the user accessing a current page and the user accessing a preset page; and
determining the sequential relationship among the pages according to the timing relationship.

6. A device for displaying a history of pages in a mobile application program, the device comprising:
a processor;
a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor; wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a first preset operation from a user on a mobile application program that is currently running; and
when a number of pages accessed historically by the user in the mobile application program is less than a first preset number,
display links of each of the pages accessed historically by the user in the mobile application program and arrows indicating a sequential relationship between every two adjacent pages among all of the accessed pages according to the first preset operation;
when the number of pages accessed historically by the user in the mobile application program is greater than or equals to the first preset number,
select a second preset number of pages from all of the pages accessed historically by the user in the mobile application program based on a preset rule specified by the user, wherein the second preset number is less than the first preset number,
display links of each of the selected pages and arrows indicating a sequential relationship between every two adjacent selected pages such that links of each of unselected pages between every two adjacent selected pages are hidden, and arrows indicating a sequential relationship between every two adjacent unselected pages and indicating a sequential relationship between a selected page and an unselected page are hidden,
receive a third preset operation from the user fora link to one displayed page of the second preset number of pages,
determine a next displayed page adjacent to the one page associated with the third preset operation from the second preset number of pages according to the sequential relationship among the second preset number of pages,
determine whether there are any hidden links of pages between the one displayed page and the next displayed page, and
display the hidden links of pages and associated arrows indicating a sequential relationship between the one displayed page and the next displayed page in response to determining that there are hidden links of pages between the one displayed page and the next displayed, or
output reminding information indicating that there is no hidden information in response to determining that there are no hidden links of pages between the one displayed page and the next displayed page.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
jump from a current page to a page corresponding to the link of the one displayed page of the second preset number of pages when a second preset operation from the user for the link is received, wherein the second preset operation is different from the third preset operation.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein each of the links displayed from the first preset number or the second preset number comprises at least one of:
a page identification; and
a page thumbnail with a preset size.

9. The device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine time information of the user accessing each page, according to the user's history of accessing the pages; and
determine the sequential relationship among the pages, according to the time information.

10. The device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
record a timing relationship between the user accessing to a current page and the user accessing a preset page; and
determine the sequential relationship among the pages according to the timing relationship.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a mobile processor, causes the mobile processor to perform a method for displaying a history of pages in a mobile application program, the method comprising:
receiving a first preset operation from a user on a mobile application program that is currently running; and
when a number of pages accessed historically by the user in the mobile application program is less than a first preset number,
displaying links of each of the pages accessed historically by the user in the mobile applicat
