Abstract

This application provides a route display method performed by a computer device. When a route planning request for a route planning mode is obtained from a terminal device, a corresponding route planning result and original interpretation data involved in the current route planning result are determined; a route interpretation scenario corresponding to the original interpretation data and the route planning mode are used to query a corresponding target interpretation template; and a target interpretation element that needs to be displayed when the route planning result is displayed in an electronic map on the terminal device is determined through the target interpretation template, to explain the route planning result by using the target interpretation element. Such a manner of interpreting templates can store, query, modify and synchronize the interpretation templates through a database, so that combinations of various route planning modes and route interpretation scenarios can be decoupled from each other.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A route display method performed by a computer device, the method comprising:
receiving a route planning request from a terminal device, the route planning request including a route planning mode used for identifying a reason for initiating a route from a starting point to an end point and a map product type associated with the route planning request;
determining a corresponding route planning result and original interpretation data associated with the route planning request, wherein the corresponding route planning result includes multiple routes and the original interpretation data includes a reason for recommending one of the multiple routes over the other routes;
determining a corresponding target interpretation template according to the map product type, the route planning mode and a route interpretation scenario corresponding to the original interpretation data;
determining element information according to the original interpretation data and the target interpretation template, the element information comprising an element identifier of a first target interpretation element corresponding to the route planning result and an element identifier of a second target interpretation element corresponding to the reason for recommending one of the multiple routes over the other routes; and
transmitting the element information to the terminal device, the element identifiers in the element information being used for instructing the terminal device to (i) retrieve the first target interpretation element and the second target interpretation element from a locally-saved interpretation resource pool at the terminal device according to the element identifiers in the element information and (ii) display the first target interpretation element when the terminal device displays the route planning result including at least two of the multiple routes and the second target interpretation element corresponding to the reason for recommending one of the at least two routes over the other route.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the target interpretation template is determined from an interpretation template comprised in a first interpretation template library, and the method further comprises:
obtaining a second interpretation template library and a template library digest corresponding to the second interpretation template library from an interpretation template library server;
calculating and obtaining a digest according to the second interpretation template library; and
replacing the first interpretation template library with the second interpretation template library when verification succeeds based on the digest and the template library digest corresponding to the second interpretation template library.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:
determining a constituent unit of an interpretation element based on a type of the interpretation element;
constructing a route interpretation protocol according to the constituent unit; and
determining the original interpretation data and a first interpretation template library comprising the target interpretation template according to the route interpretation protocol.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the target interpretation template comprises a constituent unit of an interpretation element, content of the interpretation element, a style value of the interpretation element and a priority of the interpretation element.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the method further comprises:
returning the route planning result to the terminal device, and saving a correspondence between a route planning identifier of the route planning result and the element information;
obtaining an interpretation service request transmitted by the terminal device, the interpretation service request comprising the route planning identifier; and
retrieving the element information corresponding to the route planning identifier according to the correspondence and performing operations of transmitting the element information to the terminal device.

6. A computer device comprising a processor and a memory:
the memory being configured to store program code; and
the processor being configured to execute the program code to perform a route display method including:
receiving a route planning request from a terminal device, the route planning request including a route planning mode used for identifying a reason for initiating a route from a starting point to an end point and a map product type associated with the route planning request;
determining a corresponding route planning result and original interpretation data associated with the route planning request, wherein the corresponding route planning result includes multiple routes and the original interpretation data includes a reason for recommending one of the multiple routes over the other routes;
determining a corresponding target interpretation template according to the map product type, the route planning mode and a route interpretation scenario corresponding to the original interpretation data;
determining element information according to the original interpretation data and the target interpretation template, the element information comprising an element identifier of a first target interpretation element corresponding to the route planning result and an element identifier of a second target interpretation element corresponding to the reason for recommending one of the multiple routes over the other routes; and
transmitting the element information to the terminal device, the element identifiers in the element information being used for instructing the terminal device to (i) retrieve the first target interpretation element and the second target interpretation element from a locally-saved interpretation resource pool at the terminal device according to the element identifiers in the element information and (ii) display the first target interpretation element when the terminal device displays the route planning result including at least two of the multiple routes and the second target interpretation element corresponding to the reason for recommending one of the at least two routes over the other route.

7. The computer device according to claim 6 , wherein the target interpretation template is determined from an interpretation template comprised in a first interpretation template library, and the method further comprises:
obtaining a second interpretation template library and a template library digest corresponding to the second interpretation template library from an interpretation template library server;
calculating and obtaining a digest according to the second interpretation template library; and
replacing the first interpretation template library with the second interpretation template library when verification succeeds based on the digest and the template library digest corresponding to the second interpretation template library.

8. The computer device according to claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:
determining a constituent unit of an interpretation element based on a type of the interpretation element;
constructing a route interpretation protocol according to the constituent unit; and
determining the original interpretation data and a first interpretation template library comprising the target interpretation template according to the route interpretation protocol.

9. The computer device according to claim 8 , wherein the target interpretation template comprises a constituent unit of an interpretation element, content of the interpretation element, a style value of the interpretation element and a priority of the interpretation element.
