receiving a cut face selecting operation performed by the user on the seat display interface in the cut face browsing mode and displaying a corresponding target site cut face in the cut face display mode for displaying a corresponding seat layout following the operation of the user.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises a step of obtaining the site cut face of the target site;

obtaining a site three-dimensional view of the target site;

according to a preset cutting rule, cutting the site three-dimensional view to obtain a plurality of candidate site cut faces; and

selecting candidate site cut faces that meet a preset effective cut face condition so as to obtain the plurality of site cut faces of the target site.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein

the cutting rule is to cut a corresponding three-dimensional view into a predetermined number of cut faces at equal intervals in a specific dimension direction;

the effective cut face condition is that the candidate site cut faces comprising at least one site element different from the other candidate site cut faces, and the site element comprising at least one of a floor, a stand, and a stage; and

the step of obtaining the site cut faces of the target site further comprising;

generating a corresponding site cut face linked list according to a relative spatial position of each of the site cut faces in the target site,

wherein the site cut face linked list comprises a linked list order of each of the site cut faces, and the linked list order corresponds to the relative spatial position.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of displaying the plurality of site cut faces of the target site in a cut face browsing mode comprises:

displaying the site cut faces associated with the cut face viewing operation through the seat display interface;

providing a cut face browsing control element through the seat display interface to receive the cut face browsing mode; and

locating a site cut face corresponding to the cut face viewing operation, when the located site cut face is inconsistent with the site cut face displayed by the current seat display interface, switching to display the located site cut face.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein

the cut face browsing control element comprises a cut face selection control element, and the cut face selection control element is set according to the acquired site cut face linked list, wherein the site cut face linked list comprises the linked list order of each of the site cut faces, and the linked list order corresponds to the relative spatial position of the site cut face in the corresponding site;

and

the step of locating the site cut face corresponding to the cut face browsing operation comprising;

locating in the site switch linked list to obtain the corresponding site cut face according to the linked list order corresponding to the operation position of the cut face browsing operation on the cut face selection control element.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the method further comprises:

when the cut face browsing operation ends on the cut face selection control element, locating in the site switch linked list to obtain the corresponding target site cut face according to the linked list order corresponding to the operation position at the operation end, and entering the cut face display mode.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein

the target site cut face comprises at least one site element, and the site element comprises at least one of a floor, a stand, a stage, and a seat;

the method further comprising;

in the cut face display mode, receiving an element selection operation performed by a user in an interface area for displaying the target site cut face on a seat selection interface, and determining a target site element selected by the user; and

displaying a seat layout of the target site element in the planar display mode for the user to select a corresponding seat.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein

the planar display mode is to display the site elements included in the corresponding planar space in the planar view mode, the site element comprises at least one of a floor, a stand, and a stage;

the cut face browsing mode is to display the site elements included in the plurality of site cut faces in a planar view form in a rotating manner; and

the cut face display mode is to display the site elements included in the target site cut face in a planar view form; and

the cut face viewing operation is a moving operation performed on a cut face viewing control element provided by the seat display interface.

10. An electronic device comprising:

a screen for displaying an image;

a memory for storing executable instructions; and

a processor for operating the electronic device to perform the seat selection method of claim 1 and display a seat layout image comprising a selected seat based on the executable instructions in memory.

9. A seating at a venue display device comprising:

an interface providing unit for providing a seat display interface and displaying a target site in a planar display mode;

a cut face browsing unit for receiving a cut face viewing operation performed by a user on the seat display interface, and displaying a plurality of site cut faces included in a target site in the cut face browsing mode for the user to browse and select a target site cut face,

wherein the site cut face is a two-dimensional plane obtained by dividing a three-dimensional view of a corresponding site; and

a cut face selecting unit for receiving a cut face selection operation performed by a user on the seat display interface, and displaying a corresponding target site cut face in a cut face display mode, so as to display a corresponding seat layout after the user performing the operation.

11. A computer implemented method for selecting and displaying seats at a venue, comprising:

generating a plurality of 2-dimensional images of seats at a venue by taking cross-sectional views of 3-dimensional images comprising the spatial arrangement of seats at the venue;
