Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method and device for refreshing a news list, wherein the method includes: receiving a refreshing signal; reading a refreshing start time according to the received refreshing signal; reading at least one pre-set time threshold, the time threshold is used for defining, in combination with the refreshing start time, a time interval for refreshing a news list; acquiring a recommended news list according to the refreshing start time and the time threshold, the recommended news list including: at least one piece of news to be recommended, the publication time of the news to be recommended falls within the time interval; allocating a recommending time for each piece of news to be recommended in the recommended news list; and refreshing the news to be recommended in the recommended news list according to the recommending time, so as to generate a new recommended news list.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for refreshing a news list, wherein the method comprises: receiving a refreshing signal; reading a refreshing start time according to the received refreshing signal, wherein the refreshing start time is a current system time or a recommending time for a last piece of news that has been refreshed; reading at least one pre-set time threshold, wherein the time threshold is used for defining, in combination with the refreshing start time, a time interval for refreshing the news list; acquiring a recommended news list according to the refreshing start time and the time threshold, wherein the recommended news list comprises: at least one piece of news to be recommended, publication time of the news to be recommended falls within the time interval; allocating a recommending time for each piece of news to be recommended in the recommended news list; and refreshing the news to be recommended in the recommended news list according to the recommending time to generate a new recommended news list. 2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the refreshing signal comprises at least one of: a first touch-sensitive signal generated by sliding down on a touch screen and a second touch-sensitive signal generated by sliding up on the touch screen. 3 . The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein in a case that the received refreshing signal is the first touch-sensitive signal, the refreshing start time is the current system time, wherein acquiring the recommended news list according to the refreshing start time and the time threshold comprises: acquiring an amount n of news of a first news set contained in the recommended news list according to the first touch-sensitive signal, where n is a natural number; acquiring the current system time and a preset first time threshold; determining a first time interval according to the current system time and the first time threshold, wherein the first time interval is used for restricting a time interval for refreshing a first recommended news list; acquiring n pieces of news, publication time of which falls within the first time interval, according to the first time interval; and generating the first recommended news list according to the acquired n pieces of news. 4 . The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein allocating the recommending time for each piece of news to be recommended in the recommended news list comprises: acquiring a previous refreshing time of refreshing the news list which is conducted upon receiving a previous first touch-sensitive signal; determining a second time interval according to the previous refreshing time and the current system time, wherein the second time interval is used for restricting a recommending time for news in the first recommended list; and allocating the recommending time for each piece of the news in the first recommended list according to the second time interval, wherein the recommending time falls within the second time interval. 5 . The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein allocating the recommending time for each piece of the news in the first recommended list according to the second time interval comprises: allocating the second time interval evenly according to the amount n of news in the first recommended news list and the second time interval to acquire a first equal time interval of each piece of news in the recommended news list; and allocating the recommending time for each piece of the news within the first recommended list according to the first equal time interval and the current system time. 6 . The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein in a case that the received refreshing signal is the second touch-sensitive signal, the refreshing start time is the recommending time for the last piece of news that has been refreshed, wherein acquiring the recommended news list according to the refreshing start time and the time threshold comprises: acquiring an amount m of news of a second news set contained in the recommended news list according to the second touch-sensitive signal, where m is an integer; acquiring the recommending time for the last piece of news that has been refreshed and a second time threshold; determining a third time interval according to the recommending time for the last piece of news that has been refreshed and the second time threshold, wherein the third time interval is used for restricting a time interval for refreshing a second recommended news list; acquiring m pieces of news, publication time of which falls within the third time interval, according to the third time interval; and generating the second recommended news list according to the acquired m pieces of news. 7 . The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein allocating the recommending time for each piece of news to be recommended in the recommended news list comprises: acquiring the recommending time for the last piece of news that has been refreshed and a third time threshold; determining a fourth time interval according to the recommending time for the last piece of news that has been refreshed and the third time threshold, wherein the fourth time interval is used for restricting a recommending time for news in the second recommended list; and allocating the recommending time for each piece of the news in the second recommended list according to the fourth time interval, wherein the recommending time falls within the fourth time interval. 8 . The method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein allocating the recommending time for each piece of the news in the second recommended list according to the fourth time interval comprises: allocating the fourth time interval evenly according to the amount m of news in the second recommended news list and the fourth time interval to acquire a second equal time interval of each piece of news in the recommended news list; and allocating the recommending time for each piece of the news within the second recommended list according to the second equal time interval and the recommending time for the last piece of news that has been refreshed. 9 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein prior to allocating the recommending time for each piece of news to be recommended in the recommended news list, the method further comprises: acquiring a historical news list that has been acquired by refreshing before instant refreshing; and comparing the historical news list and the recommended news list, and deleting the same news from the recommended news list in a case that at least one piece of news in the recommended news list is the same as at least one piece of news in the historical news list. 10 . A device for refreshing a news list, wherein the device comprises: a receiving component configured to receive a refreshing signal; a first reading component configured to read a refreshing start time according to the received refreshing signal, wherein the refreshing start time is the current system time or a recommending time for a last piece of news that has been refreshed; a second reading component configured to read at least one pre-set time threshold, the time threshold is used for defining, in combination with the refreshing start time, a time interval for refreshing a news list; a first acquiring component configured to acquire a recommended news list according to the refreshing start time and the time threshold, the recommended news list comprises: at least one piece of news to be recommended, the publication time of the news to be recommended falls within the time interval; a first processing component configured to allocate a recommending time for each piece of news to be recommended in the recommended news list; and a generating component configured to refresh the news t
