Reality-augmented information display method and apparatus

A first terminal having at least one processor, a camera, a display, memory and at least one program stored in the memory, wherein the first terminal is communicatively connected to a remote server, and the at least one program, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the first terminal to perform a plurality of operations comprising:

• obtaining a first geographical location of the first terminal and a first orientation of the camera;
• transmitting the first geographical location and the first orientation to the server;
• receiving, from the server, first information, wherein the first information is released by a second terminal at a second geographical location that is within a region defined by the first geographical location and the first orientation, and wherein multiple pieces of information are released by one or more terminals at one or more geographical locations within the region;
• in accordance with a determination that a quantity of the multiple pieces of information within the region exceeds a preset quantity:
• after determining that a release time associated with the first information is within a predefined time window of a current time:
• determining a display location of the first information on the display of the first terminal according to the second geographical location within the region defined by the first geographical location and the first orientation;
• and
• displaying, at the display location, presentation information used to represent the first information while displaying a real-time image captured by the camera on the display;
• and
• after determining that the release time associated with the first information is not within the predefined time window of the current time:
• forgoing displaying the presentation information used to represent the first information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a plurality of computer executable instructions that, when at least one processor of a first terminal that has a camera and a display and that is communicatively connected to a remote server, cause the first terminal to perform the following operations:

• obtaining a first geographical location of the first terminal and a first orientation of the camera;
• transmitting the first geographical location and the first orientation to the server;
• receiving, from the server, first information, wherein the first information is released by a second terminal at a second geographical location that is within a region defined by the first geographical location and the first orientation, and wherein multiple pieces of information are released by one or more terminals at one or more geographical locations within the region;
• in accordance with a determination that a quantity of the multiple pieces of information within the region exceeds a preset quantity:
• after determining that a release time associated with the first information is within a predefined time window of a current time:
• determining a display location of the first information on the display of the first terminal according to the second geographical location within the region defined by the first geographical location and the first orientation;
• and
• displaying, at the display location, presentation information used to represent the first information while displaying a real-time image captured by the camera on the display;
• and
• after determining that the release time associated with the first information is not within the predefined time window of the current time:
• forgoing displaying the presentation information used to represent the first information.
