Abstract

The application provides an information processing method and an electronic device. The information processing method comprises: monitoring location information of a characteristic point with respect to a first interface displayed on a first electronic device; determining whether the location information of the characteristic point satisfies a preset condition; and keeping the displayed content of the first interface unchanged, and pre-loading first data corresponding to the characteristic point if the location information of the characteristic point satisfies the preset condition, so as to enable second content corresponding to the pre-loaded first data to be displayed on the first electronic device upon the first electronic device receives a switching operation corresponding to the first data.

Claims

1. An information processing method, comprising:

monitoring location information of a characteristic point with respect to a first interface displayed on a first electronic device;

determining whether the location information of the characteristic point satisfies a preset condition; and

keeping the displayed content of the first interface unchanged, and pre-loading first data corresponding to the characteristic point if the location information of the characteristic point satisfies the preset condition, so as to enable second content corresponding to the pre-loaded first data to be displayed on the first electronic device upon the first electronic device receiving a switching operation corresponding to said first data.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein monitoring the location information of the characteristic point with respect to the first interface comprises:

collecting second data, the second data being data representative of a visual focus area of a viewer;

analyzing the second data to determine a visual focus point with respect to the first interface; and

monitoring location information of the visual focus point with respect to the first interface.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein monitoring the location information of the characteristic point with respect to the first interface comprises:

detecting a location point of a first operation with respect to the first interface, wherein the switching operation is a successive operation of the first operation, the first operation being used for determining a location corresponding to the switching operation before the switching operation is received; and

monitoring location information of the location point with respect to the first interface.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein determining whether the location information of the characteristic point satisfies a preset condition comprises:

determining whether the characteristic point is located within a first predetermined area of the first interface;

or

determining whether the time during which the characteristic point is located within the first predetermined area of the first interface has reached a preset duration of time.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the first predetermined area comprises:

an area for which the distance from a preset side of the first interface is below a preset threshold;

or

an area with a first link displayed therein.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein pre-loading the first data corresponding to the characteristic point comprises:

loading the first data related to third data displayed in the first predetermined area into a storage unit, wherein the first data and the third data are preset data successively displayed on the first interface.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the preset side comprises a first preset side and a second preset side,

the first data are preset data previous to the third data if the distance between the characteristic point and the first preset side is below the preset threshold;

and

the first data are preset data following the third data if the distance between the characteristic point and the second preset side is below the preset threshold.

8. The method of claim 5, wherein if the first predetermined area is an area with a first link displayed therein, pre-loading the first data corresponding to the characteristic point comprises:

loading the first data which correspond to data relating to the first link, into a storage unit so that the first data can be read directly from the storage unit and displayed when the first link is triggered by the switching operation.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein pre-loading the first data corresponding to the characteristic point comprises:

sending a loading request to a second electronic device connected with the first electronic device;

receiving the first data sent from the second electronic device based on the loading request; and

storing the first data in a storage unit.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein pre-loading the first data enables the second content corresponding to the first data to be displayed after a first period of time upon the first electronic device receives the switching operation corresponding to said first data, the first period of time being shorter than a second period of time required for displaying the second content after the switching operation is received in the case that said pre-loading is not performed.

11. An electronic device comprising:

a display unit for displaying a first interface;

a processor configured to;

monitor location information of a characteristic point with respect to the first interface;

determine whether the location information of the characteristic point satisfies a preset condition; and

keep the displayed content of the first interface unchanged, and pre-load first data corresponding to the characteristic point if the location information of the characteristic point satisfies the preset condition, so as to enable second content corresponding to the pre-loaded first data to be displayed via the display unit upon receiving a switching operation corresponding to the first data.

12. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to:

collect second data, the second data being data representative of a visual focus area of a viewer;

analyze the second data to determine a visual focus point with respect to the first interface; and

monitor location information of the visual focus point with respect to the first interface.

13. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to:

detect a location point of a first operation with respect to the first interface, wherein the switching operation is a successive operation of the first operation, the first operation being used for determining a location corresponding to the switching operation before the switching operation is received; and

monitor location information of the location point with respect to the first interface.

14. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine whether the characteristic point is located within a first predetermined area of the first interface;

or

determine whether the time during which the characteristic point is located within the first predetermined area of the first interface has reached a preset duration of time.

15. The electronic device of claim 14, wherein if the first predetermined area comprises an area for which the distance from a preset side of the first interface is below a preset threshold, the processor is further configured to:

load the first data related to third data displayed in the first predetermined area into a storage unit, wherein the first data and the third data are preset data successively displayed on the first interface.

16. The electronic device of claim 14, wherein if the first predetermined area comprises an area with a first link displayed therein, the processor is further configured to:

load the first data which correspond to data relating to the first link, into the storage unit so that the pre-loaded first data can be read directly from the storage unit and displayed when the first link is triggered by the switching operation.

17. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to:

send a loading request to a second electronic device;

receive the first data sent from the second electronic device based on the loading request; and

store the first data in a storage unit.

18. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to pre-load the first data to enable the second content corresponding to the pre-loaded first data to be displayed after a first period of time upon receiving the switching operation, the first period of time being shorter than a second period of time required for displaying the second content after receiving the switching operation in the case that said pre-loading is not performed.
