Abstract

An information interaction method for improving user experience includes: receiving a control adjustment instruction, where the control adjustment instruction includes identification information of a control; according to the control adjustment instruction, performing an adjustment on each control, so that the control corresponding to the identification information is adjusted to a center position of an interactive interface.

Claims

1. An information interaction method, comprising:

receiving a control adjustment instruction, wherein the control adjustment instruction comprises identification information of a control;

performing an adjustment on each control of a plurality of controls according to the control adjustment instruction so that the control corresponding to the identification information is adjusted to a center position of an interactive interface;

wherein performing of the adjustment on the control comprises;

determining a target position and a target size of each control according to the identification information of the control;

periodically calculating a position and a size of each control in a current frame based on a preset duration and according to the target position and the target size;

redrawing each control in the current frame according to the position and the size of the control in the current frame;

updating and displaying a control graph in real time according to the redrawn control; and

when the control corresponding to the identification information reaches the target position and achieves the target size, stopping calculation of the position and the size of each control in the current frame, wherein the target position of the control corresponding to the identification information is the center position of the interactive interface.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein periodically calculation of the position and the size of each control in the current frame based on the preset duration comprises:

periodically obtaining a timing message; and

when the timing message is obtained, calculating the position and the size of each control in the current frame.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the timing message is generated periodically by a local end, or is received from an external clock.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the control comprises a video play control, and wherein performance of the adjustment on each control according to the control adjustment instruction comprises:

obtaining video information and graphic information of the interactive interface;

performing alpha mixing on the graphic information on a graphic layer and the video information on a video layer; and

playing the mixed media information on the video play control.

5. The method according to claim 4, comprising,

when the video play control is adjusted, obtaining a current position and a current size of the video play control in real time;

performing an adjustment on a current position and a current size of the video information on the video layer so that the current position and the current size of the video information match the current position and the current size of the video play control;

performing further alpha mixing on the graphic information on the graphic layer and the adjusted video information on the video layer; and

playing the remixed media information on the video play control.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein,

an adjustment track is a semi-ellipse when the control is being adjusted;

and

an area of a control located at a side of the interactive interface is smaller than an area of a same control located at the center position of the interactive interface.

7. An interface control system, comprising:

an instruction receiving apparatus configured to receive a control adjustment instruction, wherein the control adjustment instruction comprises identification information of a control; and

a GUI apparatus configured to perform an adjustment on each control of a plurality of controls according to the control adjustment instruction so that the control corresponding to the identification information is adjusted to a center position of an interactive interface;

an animation generation apparatus; and

a graph display apparatus;

wherein;

the animation generation apparatus is configured to periodically calculate a position and a size of each control in a current frame based on a preset duration and according to a target position and a target size of each control determined by the GUI apparatus, and

the GUI apparatus is further configured to determine the target position and the target size of each control according to the identification information, and redraw each control in the current frame according to the position and the size of each control in the current frame; and

the graph display apparatus is configured to update and display a control graph in real time according to the redrawn control.

8. The interface control system according to claim 7, further comprising:

a timer configured to generate a timing message to trigger the animation generation apparatus to perform a corresponding operation.

9. The interface control system according to claim 7, further comprising

a video source collection apparatus;

a video play apparatus, a mix apparatus; and

a play control apparatus,

wherein;

the video source collection apparatus is configured to collect video information;

the video play apparatus is configured to play the video information collected by the video source collection apparatus on a video layer;

the GUI apparatus is further configured to generate graphic information of the interactive interface, and present the graphic information on a graphic layer;

the mix apparatus is configured to obtain media information by performing alpha mixing on the graphic information on the graphic layer and the video information on the video layer; and

the play control apparatus is configured to play the media information on a video play control.

10. The interface control system according to claim 9, wherein,

the GUI apparatus is further configured to obtain a current position and a current size of the video play control in real time when the video play control is being adjusted, and send the current position and the current size of the video play control to the video play apparatus;

the video play apparatus is further configured to perform an adjustment on a current position and a current size of the video information on the video layer so that the current position and the current size of the video information match the current position and the current size of the video play control;

the mix apparatus is further configured to perform alpha mixing again on the graphic information on the graphic layer and the adjusted video information on the graphic layer; and

the play control apparatus is further configured to play the remixed media information on the video play control.
