Abstract

Provided are a method and an apparatus for displaying content on a same screen and a terminal device. The method includes: displaying an application interface of an application on a display apparatus, and displaying a floating region on the same screen as the application interface; setting a content loader corresponding to the floating region; determining display content of the floating region; and invoking the content loader to load the determined display content to the floating region for display.

First claim

1 . A method for displaying content on a same screen, applied to a terminal device comprising a display apparatus, comprising:
displaying an application interface of an application on the display apparatus, and displaying a floating region on the same screen as the application interface; setting a content loader corresponding to the floating region; determining display content of the floating region; and invoking the content loader to load the determined display content to the floating region for display.

2 . The method for displaying content on a same screen according to claim 1 , further comprising: invoking a service interface interacting with an underlying layer of a system to load content in an installation package of the application to display application content of the application on the application interface.

3 . The method for displaying content on a same screen according to claim 1 , wherein the determining the display content of the floating region comprises:
determining a filtration condition for filtrating the display content of the floating region; and obtaining the display content meeting the filtration condition.

4 . The method for displaying content on a same screen according to claim 3 , wherein the obtaining the display content meeting the filtration condition comprises:
sending a display content request message to a server, wherein the display content request message comprises the filtration condition, and the server determines the display content meeting the filtration condition based on the filtration condition; and receiving a display content response message sent by the server, wherein the display content response message is constructed by the server based on the determined display content, and the display content response message comprises the determined display content.

5 . The method for displaying content on a same screen according to claim 3 , wherein the filtration condition comprises an application identifier of the application displayed on the application interface, and the obtaining the display content meeting the filtration condition comprises:
obtaining reference content meeting the filtration condition from reference content of the application displayed on the application interface as the display content, wherein a server determines the reference content of the application based on the application identifier, and determines target reference content meeting the filtration condition from the reference content of the application based on the filtration condition as the display content of the floating region.

6 . The method for displaying content on a same screen according to claim 5 , further comprising:
applying the target reference content displayed in the floating region; and adjusting application content displayed on the application interface based on the obtained target reference content.

7 . The method for displaying content on a same screen according to claim 4 , wherein the obtaining the display content meeting the filtration condition further comprises at least one of:
obtaining the display content meeting the filtration condition from content cached locally by the terminal device; and receiving the display content meeting the filtration condition from the server, and updating the content cached locally by the terminal device based on the received display content.

8 . The method for displaying content on a same screen according to claim 1 , wherein the display content is a picture, and the loading the determined display content to the floating region for display comprises:
determining a compression ratio for the picture based on a data amount of the picture, a width and a height of the picture, and a ratio of a width and a height of a picture browsing frame, wherein the picture browsing frame is a region for displaying the picture in the floating region; invoking a picture processing application program interface to compress the picture based on the compression ratio; and loading the compressed picture to the picture browsing frame in the floating region for display.

9 . The method for displaying content on a same screen according to claim 8 , further comprising:
determining, when the picture is dragged, whether a position of the dragged picture reaches a boundary of the picture browsing frame, and preventing the picture from being dragged toward the boundary in a case that the position of the dragged picture reaches the boundary of the picture browsing frame.

10 . An apparatus for displaying content on a same screen, applied to a terminal device comprising a display apparatus, comprising a processor and a memory for storing program instructions, wherein the processor executes the program instructions to:
display an application interface of an application on the display apparatus, and display a floating region on the same screen as the application interface; set a content loader corresponding to the floating region; determine display content of the floating region; and invoke the content loader to load the determined display content to the floating region for display.

11 . The apparatus for displaying content on a same screen according to claim 10 , wherein the processor executes the program instructions further to:
invoke a service interface interacting with an underlying layer of a system to load content in an installation package of the application to display application content of the application on the application interface.

12 . The apparatus for displaying content on a same screen according to claim 10 , wherein the processor executes the program instructions further to:
determine a filtration condition for filtrating the display content of the floating region; and obtain the display content meeting the filtration condition.

13 . The apparatus for displaying content on a same screen according to claim 12 , wherein the processor executes the program instructions further to:
send a display content request message to a server, wherein the display content request message comprises the filtration condition, and the server determines the display content meeting the filtration condition based on the filtration condition; and receive a display content response message sent by the server, wherein the display content response message is constructed by the server based on the determined display content, and the display content response message comprises the determined display content.

14 . The apparatus for displaying content on a same screen according to claim 13 , wherein the filtration condition comprises an application identifier of the application displayed on the application interface, and
the processor executes the program instructions further to obtain reference content meeting the filtration condition from reference content of the application displayed on the application interface as the display content, wherein a server determines the reference content of the application based on the application identifier, and determines target reference content meeting the filtration condition from the reference content of the application based on the filtration condition as the display content of the floating region.

15 . The apparatus for displaying content on a same screen according to claim 14 , wherein the processor executes the program instructions further to:
apply the target reference content displayed in the floating region; and adjust application content displayed on the application interface based on the obtained target reference content.

16 . The apparatus for displaying content on a same screen
