Photo collection display method and apparatus

A photo collection display apparatus, comprising a plurality of program modules comprising computer-implemented instructions stored in memory of a computing device and executed by one or more processors of the computing device, the plurality program modules comprising:

• an acquisition module, configured to acquire photo selection information, the photo selection information comprising:
• a birth date of a figure in a photo;
• a read module, configured to read photo information of each photo in a photo collection, the photo information comprising:
• a photo shooting time, the photo collection recording more than one photo;
• a processing module, configured to calculate a difference between a photo shooting time and the birth date of the figure in each photo, to obtain a sorting date of each photo;
• and
• a display processing module, configured to display, in a timeline, the photos in the photo collection according to the sorting dates, the display processing module comprising a matching unit and a display unit:
• the matching unit being configured to match the sorting date with a time point the timeline, to obtain a link relationship between the sorting date and the corresponding time point in the timeline, to obtain a link relationship between the sorting date and the corresponding time point in the timeline;
• and
• the display unit being configured to display, after one time point in the timeline is triggered, a corresponding photo of the photo collection in a predetermined position of the timeline according to the link relationship.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein one or more instructions, which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• acquire photo selection information, the photo selection information comprising:
• a birth date of a figure in a photo;
• read photo information of each photo in a photo collection, the photo information comprising:
• a photo shooting time, the photo collection recording more than one photo;
• calculate a difference between a photo shooting time and the birth date of the figure in each photo, to obtain a sorting date of each photo;
• match the sorting date with a time point in the timeline, to obtain a link relationship between the sorting date and the corresponding time point in the timeline;
• and
• display, after one time point in the timeline is triggered, a corresponding photo of the photo collection in a predetermined position of the timeline according to the link relationship.
