Abstract

A display method and an electronic device are provided. The method includes: displaying a display interface including at least one object; obtaining progress information of at least one first object of the at least one object, where the progress information indicates a content position of the at least one first object that was last output; and displaying the progress information of the at least one first object in the display interface.

First claim

1 . A display method, comprising:
displaying a display interface comprising at least one object; obtaining progress information of at least one first object of the at least one object, wherein the progress information indicates a content position of the at least one first object that was last output; and displaying the progress information of the at least one first object in the display interface.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein displaying the display interface comprising at least one object comprises: displaying a display interface of a first application comprising at least one object, wherein a second application is started and a content of an object is output by performing a trigger operation on the object in the display interface of the first application, and the second application is different from the first application; and
obtaining the progress information of at least one first object of the at least one object comprises: in a case that the number of the at least one first object is one, obtaining first progress information of the first object in a process that the first object was last output using the second application; wherein the first progress information indicates a spatial content position of the first object that was last presented in a whole content of the first object; or the first progress information indicates a time content position of the first object that was last presented in a whole content of the first object.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining the progress information of at least one first object of the at least one object comprises:
in a case that the number of the at least one first object is two or more, obtaining second progress information of the two or more first objects, wherein the second progress information indicates a spatial position of an object that was last presented in the whole of the two or more first objects during outputting the two or more first objects in a first order, and the first order is an arrangement order of the two or more first objects in the display interface, and the arrangement order is the same as an arrangement order in which the first objects were last displayed in the display interface.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein displaying the display interface comprising at least one object comprises: displaying a display interface of a first application comprising at least one object, wherein a second application is started and a content of an object is output by performing a trigger operation on the object in the display interface of the first application, and the second application is different from the first application; and
wherein the method further comprises: in a case that the number of the at least one first object is two or more, obtaining third progress information of a second object that was last presented during outputting the two or more first objects in a first order, wherein the third progress information is progress information of the second object in a process that the second object was last output using the second application, wherein the third progress information indicates a spatial content position of the second object that was last output using the second application in a whole content of the second object; or the third progress information indicates a time content position of the second object that was last output using the second application in a whole content of the second object.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein displaying the display interface comprising at least one object comprises:
displaying the display interface, wherein the display interface comprises at least one object and the object has at least identification information and the progress information, wherein the identification information of the at least one first object is displayed in a first mode, and the identification information indicates information of a name of the first object; and the progress information of the at least one first object is displayed in a second mode, and the second mode is different from the first mode.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: before obtaining the progress information of at least one first object of the at least one object,
obtaining type information of the at least one object; and in a case that a type of the object indicated by the type information meets a preset condition, determining the object of the type as the first object, wherein the type of the object indicated by the type information meeting the preset condition indicates that an application for presenting an object of the type exists locally.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the display interface is a display interface of a first application, and obtaining the progress information of at least one first object of the at least one object comprises:
obtaining progress information of the at least one first object of the at least one object by a third application, and sending the progress information from the third application to the first application, wherein the third application is different from the first application; or obtaining the progress information of the at least one first object of the at least one object directly by the first application.

8 . An electronic device, comprising:
an interface display unit, configured to display a display interface comprising at least one object; a progress information obtaining unit, configured to obtain progress information of at least one first object of the at least one object, wherein the progress information indicates a content position of the at least one first object that was last output; and a progress information display unit, configured to display the progress information of the at least one first object in the display interface.

9 . The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the interface display unit comprises:
a first interface display subunit, configured to display a display interface of a first application comprising at least one object, wherein a second application is started and a content of an object is output by performing a trigger operation on the object in the display interface of the first application, and the second application is different from the first application; and wherein the progress information obtaining unit comprises: a first progress information obtaining subunit, configured to, in a case that the number of the at least one first object is one, obtain first progress information of the first object in a process that the first object was last output using the second application, wherein the first progress information indicates a spatial content position of the first object that was last presented in a whole content of the first object; or the first progress information indicates a time content position of the first object that was last presented in a whole content of the first object.

10 . The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the progress information obtaining unit comprises:
a second progress information obtaining subunit, configured to, in a case that the number of the at least one first object is two or more, obtain second progress information of the two or more first objects, wherein the second progress information indicates a spatial position of an object that was last presented in the whole of the two or more first objects during outputting the two or more first objects in a first order, and wherein the first order is an arrangement order of the two or more first objects in the display interface, and the arrangement order is the same as an arrangement order in which the two or more first objects were last displayed in the display interf
