Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method and a terminal device for displaying a push message, wherein the method comprises steps of detecting a triggering event for loading a new content; determining whether a blank loading area exists on a current display page for loading the new content; and, if the blank loading area exists on the current display page, displaying the push message in the blank loading area. In the present disclosure, the display resources of a terminal device can be sufficiently utilized by displaying push message when the loading page is blank, so that a user can acquire various types of information without performing tedious operations, thereby simplifying user operations.

Claims

1. A method for displaying a push message, comprising:

detecting a triggering event for loading a new content;

determining whether a blank loading area exists on a current display page for loading the new content; and

if the blank loading area exists on the current display page, displaying the push message in the blank loading area.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the push message is received in real time or repeatedly delivered by a server, or stored locally in advance.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

determining whether the push message delivered by the server contains any message subscribed by a user, and, if so, using the message subscribed by the user as the push message to be displayed in the blank loading area.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein displaying the push message in the blank loading area comprises:

sending a request for acquiring a push message to a server;

receiving the push message delivered by the server; and

displaying the push message delivered by the server in the blank loading area.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

establishing a link of the push message displayed in the blank loading area.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

opening an application or a page corresponding to the link when the link is detected as being initiated.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein displaying the push message in the blank loading area comprises:

cacluating a time for loading the new content; and

displaying the push message in the blank loading area if the time is greater than or equal to a preset value.

8. A terminal device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to execute steps comprising;

detecting a triggering event for loading a new content;

determining whether a blank loading area exists on a current display page for loading the new content; and

if the blank loading area exists on the current display page, displaying the push message in the blank loading area.

9. The terminal device of claim 8, wherein the push message is received in real time or repeatedly delivered by a server, or stored locally in advance.

10. The terminal device of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to execute a step of determining whether the push message delivered by the server contains any message subscribed by a user, and, if so, using the message subscribed by the user as the push message to be displayed in the blank loading area.

11. The terminal device of claim 8, wherein displaying the push message in the blank loading area comprises:

sending a request for acquiring a push message to a server;

receiving the push message delivered by the server; and

displaying the push message delivered by the server in the blank loading area.

12. The terminal device of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to execute a step of establishing a link of the push message displayed in the blank loading area.

13. The terminal device of claim 12, wherein the processor is further configured to execute a step of opening an application or a page corresponding to the link when the link is detected as being initiated.

14. The terminal device of claim 8, wherein displaying the push message in the blank loading area comprises:

cacluating a time for loading the new content; and

displaying the push message in the blank loading area if the time is greater than or equal to a preset value.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, which storing instructions which when executed perform a method in a terminal device, the method comprising:

detecting a triggering event for loading a new content;

determining whether a blank loading area exists on a current display page for loading the new content; and

if the blank loading area exists on the current display page, displaying the push message in the blank loading area.
