automatically playing the short video in the first window after the first window is displayed.

2. The information display method of claim 1 , wherein the video introduction information further comprises text information describing the target video.

3. The information display method of claim 1 , wherein the target video comprises N videos represented by N posters selected through the first user input, wherein the first window is a floating window comprising N pages, wherein the N pages separately display video introduction information corresponding to the N videos, wherein N is a positive integer greater than 1, wherein the information display method further comprises displaying a page of the N pages in the pop up in the first display area, wherein the page comprises a current page of the floating window, and wherein the current page is in the N pages and occupies a largest display area on the screen.

4. The information display method of claim 3 , wherein the page of the N pages further comprises a page before or after the current page.

5. The information display method of claim 3 , wherein the N pages are arranged in at least one of the following arrangement forms:

on N side faces of a prism;

on a circumference surface of a cylinder; or

in a form of dominoes.

6. The information display method of claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving a second input acting on the floating window; and

switching and displaying, in response to the second input, the page of the N pages before or after the current page as a new current page of the floating window.

7. The information display method of claim 6 , wherein the second input comprises at least one of a touch operation acting on the floating window, a motion sensing operation on the floating window, or an operation of holding the terminal to perform a first movement.

8. The information display method of claim 7 , wherein the first movement comprises at least one of the following:

rotating the terminal along an axis of a prism when the N pages are arranged on the N sides of the prism;

rotating the terminal along an axis of a cylinder when the N pages are arranged on the circumference surface of the cylinder; or

tilting the terminal in a direction in which dominos collapse in a chain when the N pages are arranged in the form of dominoes.

9. A graphical user interface comprising instructions on a terminal device comprising a display, a processor, and a user input apparatus, wherein the graphical user interface that when executed by the processor causes the graphical user interface to be displayed on a first display area of the display, and wherein the processor causes the terminal device to be configured to:

display a plurality of posters in the first display area;

display, in response to a first user input that selects a poster from the plurality of posters and that is detected by the user input apparatus, a first window as a pop up on a portion of the plurality of posters in the first display area, wherein the first user input includes a touch and hold operation, and wherein the first window comprises an image area and an audio play area;

display, in the first window video introduction information corresponding to a target video represented by the poster, wherein the video introduction information includes image information introducing the target video in the image area and voice information introducing the target video in the audio play area, wherein the image information includes a short video and a static poster, wherein play duration of the short video is less than a first threshold, and wherein the first threshold comprises sixty seconds; and

automatically play the short video in the first window after the first window is displayed.

10. The graphical user interface of claim 9 , wherein the target video comprises N videos represented by N posters selected through the first user input, wherein the first window is a floating window comprising N pages, wherein the N pages separately display video introduction information corresponding to the N videos, wherein N is a positive integer greater than 1, wherein the graphical user interface is further configured to display a page of the N pages in the pop up in the first display area, wherein the page comprises a current page of the floating window, and wherein the current page is in the N pages and occupies a largest display area on the display.

11. The graphical user interface of claim 10 , wherein the page of the N pages further comprises a page before or after the current page.

12. The graphical user interface of claim 10 , wherein the N pages are arranged in at least one of the following arrangement forms:

on N side faces of a prism;

on a circumference surface of a cylinder; or

in a form of dominoes.

13. The graphical user interface of claim 11 , wherein the processor further causes the terminal device to be configured to switch and display, in response to a second input that is detected by the user input apparatus and that acts on the floating window, the page of the N pages before or after the current page as a new current page of the floating window.

14.
