Abstract

The examples of the present disclosure disclose a method and apparatus for uploading an attachment, relate to the internet technologies, and solve problems in the traditional art that a user device cannot completely show all the content to upload and that some touch screen devices cannot obtain information inputted by the user properly. The method comprises: uploading an attachment uploading interface, the attachment uploading interface including at least one attachment uploading option; determining an attachment to upload when an attachment uploading option is activated; and generating attachment information corresponding to the attachment to upload and displaying the attachment information on a location where the at least one attachment uploading option is displayed.

Claims

1. A method for uploading an attachment, comprising:

loading an attachment uploading interface, the attachment uploading interface containing at least one attachment uploading option;

determining an attachment to upload when an attachment uploading option is activated;

generating attachment information corresponding to the attachment to upload; and

displaying the attachment information on a location where the at least one attachment uploading option is displayed.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein determining the attachment to upload when the attachment uploading option is activated comprises:

displaying a local file selection interface; and

determining a selected local file as the attachment to upload when the attachment uploading option is activated.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein determining the attachment to upload when the attachment uploading option is activated comprises:

starting an attachment obtaining program when the attachment uploading option is activated; and

determining a file obtained by the attachment obtaining program is the attachment to upload.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein after displaying the attachment information on the location where the at least one attachment uploading option is displayed, the method further comprises:

when it is detected that an area where the attachment information is displayed is selected and moved, if the movement of the area is larger than a predefined value, then deleting the attachment information and showing the at least one attachment uploading option again.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein

the attachment is an image and the attachment information includes an image name, an image format, and an image thumbnail;

or

the attachment is an audio file and the attachment information includes an audio name, an audio format, and audio play time;

or

the attachment is a video file and the attachment information includes a video name, a video format, a video thumbnail, and video play time.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein generating the attachment information corresponding to the attachment to upload and displaying the attachment information on the location where the at least one attachment uploading option is displayed comprises:

configuring a size of the area where the attachment information is displayed; and

displaying the attachment information on the location where the at least one attachment uploading option is displayed, wherein the size of the area where the attachment information is displayed is larger than, smaller than or equal to the size of the location where the at least one attachment uploading option is displayed.

7. An apparatus for uploading an attachment, comprising:

a loading unit, to load an attachment uploading interface, the attachment uploading interface including at least one attachment uploading option;

a determination unit, to determine an attachment to upload when an attachment uploading option is activated; and

a display unit, to generate attachment information corresponding to the attachment to upload and display the attachment information on a location where the at least one attachment uploading option is displayed.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the determination unit is adapted to:

when the attachment uploading option is activated, displaying a local file selection interface and determining a selected local file as the attachment to upload.

9. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the determination unit is adapted to:

start an attachment obtaining program when the attachment uploading option is activated; and

determine a file obtained by the attachment obtaining program to be the attachment to upload.

10. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the apparatus further comprises:

a deletion unit, when it is detected that an area where the attachment information is displayed is selected and moved, if the movement of the display area is larger than a predefined value, to delete the attachment information and show the at least one attachment uploading option again.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the display unit comprises:

a configuration module, to configure a size of the area where the attachment information is displayed; and

a display module, to display the attachment information on the location where the at least one attachment uploading option is displayed, wherein the size of the area where the attachment information is displayed is larger than, smaller than, or equal to the size of the location where the at least one attachment uploading option is displayed.

12. An apparatus for uploading an attachment, comprising:

memory;
