Abstract

A device displays a first page of a set of related content on the display. While displaying the first page on the display, the device detects an operation action performed by a user for switching from the first page to a second page of the set of related content. In response to detecting the operation action performed by the user: the device slides the first page of the set of related content in a first direction off the display, the device slides additional information that is distinct from the second page of the set of related content onto the display in the first direction, while the first page is sliding off the display, and the device displays the second page of the set of related content after at least a portion of the additional information is displayed on the display for at least a preset threshold amount of time.

2. The method of claim 1, comprising:

in response to detecting the operation action performed by the user;

obtaining identifier information of the additional information corresponding to the operation action;

encapsulating the identifier information into an additional information obtaining message; and

sending the additional information obtaining message to an additional information server, so that the additional information server determines the additional information corresponding to the identifier information; and

receiving the additional information from the additional information server with a specification of the preset threshold amount of time for which the additional information is required to be displayed at the device.

3. The method of claim 1, including:

in accordance with a determination that more than a preset proportion, less than all, of the additional information has been slid onto the display, starting a timer for a countdown of the preset threshold amount of time.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the second page of the set of related content is displayed at the end of the countdown.

5. The method of claim 3, including:

displaying an affordance for removing the additional information at the end of the countdown.

6. The method of claim 3, wherein the operation action performed by the user includes a drag input on the first page in the first direction, followed by a drag input on the first page in a second direction opposite the first direction, and the method includes:

in response to detecting the drag input in the second direction, sliding the additional information off the display in the second direction in accordance with the drag input in the second direction; and

stopping the countdown in accordance with a determination that less than the preset proportion of the additional information is visible on the display.

7. The method of claim 3, wherein the operation action performed by the user includes a drag input on the first page in the first direction, followed by a drag input on the first page in a second direction opposite the first direction, and the method includes:

in response to detecting the drag input in the second direction, sliding the additional information off the display in the second direction in accordance with the drag input in the second direction; and

continuing the countdown irrespective of a proportion of the additional information that is visible on the display, after the countdown has been started.

8. A computing device, comprising:

one or more processors;

memory;

a display; and

a plurality of instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the following operations;

displaying a first page of a set of related content on the display;

while displaying the first page of the set of related content on the display, detecting an operation action performed by a user for switching from the first page to a second page of the set of related content; and

in response to detecting the operation action performed by the user;

sliding the first page of the set of related content in a first direction off the display;

sliding additional information that is distinct from the second page of the set of related content onto the display in the first direction, while the first page is sliding off the display; and

displaying the second page of the set of related content after at least a portion of the additional information is displayed on the display for at least a preset threshold amount of time.

9. The computing device of claim 8, wherein the operations include:

in response to detecting the operation action performed by the user;

obtaining identifier information of the additional information corresponding to the operation action;

encapsulating the identifier information into an additional information obtaining message;

sending the additional information obtaining message to an additional information server, so that the additional information server determines the additional information corresponding to the identifier information; and

receiving the additional information from the additional information server with a specification of the preset threshold amount of time for which the additional information is required to be displayed at the device.

10. The computing device of claim 8, wherein the operations include:

in accordance with a determination that more than a preset proportion, less than all, of the additional information has been slid onto the display, starting a timer for a countdown of the preset threshold amount of time.

11. The computing device of claim 10, wherein the second page of the set of related content is displayed at the end of the countdown.

12. The computing device of claim 10, wherein the operations include:

displaying an affordance for removing the additional information at the end of the countdown.

13. The computing device of claim 10, wherein the operation action performed by the user includes a drag input on the first page in the first direction, followed by a drag input on the first page in a second direction opposite the first direction, and the operations include:

in response to detecting the drag input in the second direction, sliding the additional information off the display in the second direction in accordance with the drag input in the second direction; and

stopping the countdown in accordance with a determination that less than the preset proportion of the additional information is visible on the display.

14. The computing device of claim 10, wherein the operation action performed by the user includes a drag input on the first page in the first direction, followed by a drag input on the first page in a second direction opposite the first direction, and the operations include:
