Among them, <mgzn-title> is followed by the title of the advertisement, <mgzn-cpname> is followed by the supplier of the advertisement, <mgzn-contenturi> is followed by the click jump address, and <mgzn-content> is followed by Is the description of the ad, <mgzn-contentid> is followed by the material ID.

S230. The advertisement delivery platform sends at least one advertisement image to the lock screen server.

The lock screen server may periodically send an advertisement picture request to the lock screen server, the advertisement picture request is used to request an updated advertisement picture, or the advertisement delivery platform may periodically send the updated advertisement picture to the lock screen server. For another example, the ad delivery platform can set an updated advertisement image to the lock screen server every Tuesday at 07:00. The updated advertisement image is between 07:00 on Tuesday and 07:00 on Tuesday of the previous week. The resulting ad image.

In addition, the lock screen server may return a response message to the advertisement delivery platform after receiving the at least one advertisement image sent by the advertisement delivery platform, where the response message may carry at least one advertisement identifier, where the response is used to indicate an advertisement corresponding to the at least one advertisement identifier. The picture is received on the lock screen server.

S240. The lock screen server is configured to send a lock screen image to the terminal, where the lock screen image includes at least one advertisement image;

When the advertisement screen is sent to the terminal, the lock screen server may send an advertisement image to the terminal or send only the updated advertisement image after receiving the query request sent by the terminal, where the advertisement image may be compressed and sent to the terminal together with the screen saver image. For example, the terminal may periodically send a query request to the lock screen server for requesting an updated lock screen image, the updated lock screen image including the updated advertisement picture and the updated screen saver picture.

In an example, the terminal can be set to update only the Wi-Fi (WIreless-Fidelity) connection state according to requirements. When the terminal detects a Wi-Fi connection, the terminal sends a query request to the lock screen server. After receiving the query request sent by the terminal, the lock screen image sends the lock screen image update package to the terminal. The update package may include an advertisement image sent by the advertisement delivery platform to the lock screen server during a period from the last receipt of the query request to the current receipt of the query request, and may also include receiving the query on the lock screen server. The screen saver picture that is updated within the time period from the request to the time the query request is received.

The lock screen image can also periodically send updated lock screen images to the terminal. For example, the updated advertisement picture can be sent to the terminal by means of information push.

After receiving the advertisement image sent by the lock screen server, the terminal may return a response message to the lock screen server, where the response message may carry an advertisement identifier of the advertisement image, and the response is used to indicate that the advertisement image corresponding to the advertisement identifier is received by the terminal. .

In addition, the lock screen image can be classified according to the theme, wherein the theme can be determined according to the type of the image content, the type of the image format, the type of the image resolution, and the like. For example, depending on the content, it can be divided into a character theme, a landscape theme, a car theme, and the like.

The lock screen server may determine a theme corresponding to the advertisement image according to the metadata and the picture material. For example, for an advertisement picture of the automobile, the advertisement picture may be determined as a car theme. Among them, each advertisement picture can determine one or more topics.

When the terminal requests a screen saver picture of a certain theme from the lock screen server, the lock screen server may send the advertisement pictures belonging to the same theme to the terminal together. For example, screen saver pictures and advertisement pictures of the same theme can be packaged and sent to the terminal. In addition, the terminal may also directly request a lock screen image of a theme from the lock screen server, and the lock screen image includes an advertisement picture and a screen saver picture.

The lock screen operator can review the advertisement picture and the screen saver picture on the lock screen server, for example, check whether there are non-compliant contents in the picture, whether there are sensitive words, and the like.

After the audit is passed, the lock screen server can package and compress the advertisement picture and the screen saver picture together to form a lock screen picture compression package. If the lock screen server receives the updated advertisement image sent by the material information synchronization server, the advertisement image update package may be generated, or the updated advertisement image and the updated screen saver image may be packaged together to form a lock screen image update package.

S250. The terminal receives a lock screen picture sent by the lock screen server, where the lock screen picture includes at least one advertisement picture. The terminal can save the received lock screen picture in the memory.

The terminal can periodically initiate a query request to the lock screen server to check whether there is an update package.

If there is an update package, download the update package to the terminal.

The lock screen application running in the terminal parses the compressed package, parses the material ID contained in the advertisement image, and stores it in the memory.

The metadata in the theme attribute of the advertisement image parsed by the terminal is shown in Table 2:
