Description

Method and terminal for interface display

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of application of electronic products, and in particular, to a method and terminal for interface display.

Background technique

With the development of mobile Internet and smart terminals such as smart phones and tablet computers, a large number of application software for installing on smart terminals has emerged, which has brought convenience to people's lives.

Usually, users install multiple applications on the terminal according to their actual needs. When the interface displayed on the terminal desktop is the interface of the game application, if the user wants to enter another application such as WeChat, the user needs to exit the game first. The application interface returns to the desktop, finds the WeChat application from the application displayed on the desktop, and then the user selects the icon of the WeChat application, and the terminal enters the WeChat application after detecting that the WeChat application icon is selected; or, when the terminal desktop The interface displayed on the screen is the interface of the game application, and the WeChat application that the user wants to enter is running in the background. As shown in FIG. 1 , the user triggers the interface of the application running in the background on the display screen. If the first interface is the interface of the game application, and the second interface is the interface of the WeChat application running in the background, the user needs to slide to the right, move the second interface to the position of the first interface, and then Click on the second interface to display the second interface on the display screen in full screen, thus switching the interface of the current game application to micro The interface of the application.

In addition, in the prior art, when the interface displayed by the terminal is an interface of an application or other interface (excluding the desktop), if the user wants to open a certain file (such as music, office documents) or view a certain reminder, then After you need to operate the terminal and return to the desktop, you can find the file or reminder you want to open, and then the user can open the file or reminder interface by performing corresponding operations on the file or reminder.

In summary, in the prior art, when the interface displayed by the terminal is not a desktop, the manner of switching from the current interface to the interface of other content (such as an application, a file, or a reminder, etc.) is complicated.

Summary of the invention

The present invention provides a method and a terminal for displaying an interface, which is used to solve the problem that the interface mode of the user switching from the current interface to other content is complicated when the interface displayed by the terminal is not the desktop in the prior art.

In a first aspect, a method of interface display is provided, including:

When displaying the first interface, the terminal detects the first trigger event, and displays a shortcut window on the first interface in response to the first trigger event, where the shortcut window includes at least one object, each object is associated with an element, and at least An element associated with an object includes one or more of an application, a contact, a setting item, a reminder item, and a document that have been installed on the terminal; when the terminal detects that at least one object in the shortcut window is selected, The interface of the element associated with the selected object. In the embodiment of the present invention, the shortcut window can be displayed on the first interface, and the shortcut window includes at least one object, and the object of the shortcut window can directly enter the interface of the element, and the element can be an application that has been installed on the terminal. , one or more of contacts, settings, reminders, and documents, thus providing a way to quickly enter the interface of another element on the first interface, when the object associated with the object in the shortcut window is When the application is installed on the terminal, such as WeChat, browser, etc., the user can directly call up the shortcut window on the first interface, and directly enter the interface of another application through the object in the shortcut window, compared with the prior art. , which simplifies the way from the first interface to another application interface, thereby improving the user experience.

Preferably, the application installed in the terminal associated with the object included in the shortcut window is an application frequently used by the user, so that the user can directly enter the application commonly used by the user directly from the object included in the shortcut window, thereby improving the user experience.

It should be noted that the first interface in the embodiment of the present invention may be a desktop or an interface of an application, and when the first interface is a desktop, it may be avoided when more applications are applied on the desktop, and more applications are used. Finding apps that users need to open increases the user experience.

On the basis of the first aspect, optionally, when the first interface is the interface of the first application, since the interface is quickly switched to another element through the shortcut window, the user in the prior art is avoided from the terminal. When the interface of the application is quickly switched to the interface of another application, it is limited to being shipped in the background. The problem of the application of the line.

On the basis of the first aspect, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for manually adding an object in a shortcut window:

When the terminal displays the first interface, the second trigger event is detected, and the first object is set to the shortcut window in response to the second trigger event, wherein the second trigger event is used to trigger the setting of the first object into the shortcut window. Wherein the first object is associated with the first application.

Since the user can add objects in the shortcut window according to his own needs, the user's needs can be better met and the user experience is improved.

In order to enable the user to quickly find the object associated with the application to be launched from the shortcut window, the application in the shortcut window should not be too much. Specifically, the terminal deletes at least one object from the shortcut window every preset duration. Object, where n is a positive integer greater than zero and no greater than the total number of at least one object.

The n objects deleted by the terminal from the shortcut window meet the preset condition. For example, the application associated with the n objects is used in the next time period less than a preset threshold, for example, the preset threshold is set to 1, and the hypothesis is associated with the WeChat application. The object is currently set in the shortcut window. However, the number of times the user uses the WeChat application from the current time is less than 1, which means that the user will not start the WeChat application during this time period, so the terminal can use WeChat during this time period. The associated object is deleted, thereby avoiding too many objects in the shortcut window and reducing the user experience.

On the basis of the first aspect, optionally, when the element associated with the object is an application that has been installed on the terminal, the object is an icon of the application or a screenshot of the last displayed interface of the application after being scaled down on the terminal. .

Since the object is an icon or a screenshot, it can be clearly recognized by the user.

In addition, when the elements associated with the object are reminders, contacts, settings, and documents, the objects can be directly reminders, contacts, settings, and documents, such as documents as music files, objects as music files, or objects as reminders. Icons for items, contacts, settings, and documents.

On the basis of the first aspect, optionally, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for automatically adding an object in a shortcut window:

When the terminal determines that the feature of the at least one element installed on the terminal conforms to the preset feature, the terminal associates the object associated with the at least one element into the shortcut window.

Since the terminal can automatically set the object of the element conforming to the preset feature into the shortcut window, the user's active operation is reduced, which brings convenience to the user.

On the basis of the first aspect, optionally, after the terminal displays the shortcut window, the third trigger event is detected, and the size of the shortcut window is adjusted in response to the third trigger event, wherein the third trigger event is used to adjust the shortcut window. size.

Therefore, when the shortcut window is displayed on the terminal, more objects can be displayed in the shortcut window by adjusting the size of the shortcut window, so that the user can view the object, and the shortcut window can be displayed by adjusting the size of the shortcut window. Fewer objects reduce the impact of the shortcut window on the user's view of the first interface, thus improving the user experience.

In addition, it should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the user may also adjust the display position of the shortcut window in the terminal.

On the basis of the first aspect, optionally, when the number of objects included in the shortcut window is greater than the number of objects displayed in the shortcut window, the terminal detects a sliding operation in the display area of the shortcut window; , switching at least one object displayed in the shortcut window, and determining that at least one object selected is included in the object displayed in the shortcut window.

Since the size of the display area of the shortcut window is limited, when there are many objects included in the shortcut window, all of the displayed in the shortcut window may cause display abnormality, which causes the user to find the difficulty, and the partial object is displayed in the shortcut window, and the display is switched by the sliding operation. The objects in the shortcut window make it easy for users to find the objects that need to be selected to improve the user experience.

A second aspect provides a terminal for displaying an interface, including a display unit and a processing unit, wherein the display unit is configured to display the first interface, and the processing unit is configured to trigger the display unit to respond to the first when the first trigger event is detected a triggering event, the first triggering event is used to trigger the display unit to present a shortcut window on the first interface; the display unit is further configured to display a shortcut window on the first interface in response to the first triggering event, the shortcut window includes at least one object, each Objects are associated with an element, and elements associated with at least one object include applications, contacts, settings, reminders that are already installed on the terminal. At least two of the item and the document; the processing unit is further configured to trigger the display unit to display an interface of the element associated with the selected object after detecting that at least one object in the shortcut window is selected.

On the basis of the second aspect, optionally, the first interface is an interface of the first application.

On the basis of the second aspect, the processing unit is further configured to: when the first interface is displayed on the display unit, detect the second trigger event, and respond to the second trigger event, where the second trigger event is used to trigger Set the object associated with the first application to the shortcut window.

On the basis of the second aspect, optionally, the processing unit is further configured to delete n objects in the at least one object from the shortcut window every preset duration, where n is greater than zero and no greater than at least one object The positive number of the total number.

On the basis of the second aspect, optionally, the object is an icon of the application or a screenshot of the interface displayed last on the terminal after the scaled down application.

On the basis of the second aspect, optionally, the processing unit is further configured to: when determining that the feature of the at least one application installed on the terminal conforms to the preset feature, set the object associated with the at least one application to the shortcut window.

It should be noted that the elements associated with the objects in the shortcut window may or may not run in the background. For example, when the element associated with the object in the shortcut window is an application, the application may run in the background, or Does not run in the background, where the application associated with the object in the shortcut window is an application already installed on the terminal.

It is worth mentioning that the elements associated with the objects displayed in the shortcut window can be of the same class, such as applications, or a mixture of different classes, such as application and image mixing. Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a hardware of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The terminal 200 includes a display device 210, a processor 220, and a memory 230. The display device 210 includes a display panel 211 for displaying information input by the user or information provided to the user, various operation interfaces of the terminal 200, and the like. The embodiment of the present invention is mainly used for displaying an interface of an application installed in the terminal 100, a desktop, a shortcut window, and at least one object included in the shortcut window. Optionally, the display panel 211 can be configured in the form of an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode).

The processor 220 is configured to read a computer program and then execute a computer program defined method, for example, the processor 220 reads one or more applications to run an application on the terminal 100, and displays an interface of the application on the display device 210. . The processor 220 may include one or more general-purpose processors, and may also include one or more DSPs (Digital Signal Processors) for performing related operations to implement the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention.

The memory 230 generally includes a memory and an external memory, and the memory may be a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), a cache (CACHE), or the like. The external storage can be a hard disk, a CD, a USB disk, a floppy disk, or a tape drive. The memory 230 is used to store a computer program and other data 233, the computer program including an operating system 232 and an application 231, etc., and other data 233 may include data generated by the operating system 232 or the application 231 after being executed, the data including system data ( For example As a system configuration parameter) and user data, such as a photo taken by the user is typical user data. The shortcut window in the embodiment of the present invention, the at least one object included in the shortcut window, and the element associated with the object included in the shortcut window are stored in the memory 230. When the terminal 200 does not detect the first trigger event, the first The shortcut window is not displayed on the interface, and the terminal 200 calls the shortcut window and at least one object included in the shortcut window from the memory 230 only when the first trigger event is detected, and displays the shortcut window on the display device 210, and the shortcut window. At least one object included in the object.

In addition, the terminal 200 may further include an input device 240 for receiving input digital information, character information or contact touch/contactless gestures, and generating signal inputs and the like related to user settings and function control of the terminal 200. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the input device 240 may include a touch panel 241. The touch panel 241, also referred to as a touch screen, can collect touch operations on or near the user (such as the user's operation on the touch panel 241 or on the touch panel 241 using any suitable object or accessory such as a finger, a stylus, or the like. ), and drive the corresponding connection device according to a preset program. Optionally, the touch panel 241 can include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Wherein, the touch detection device detects the touch orientation of the user, and detects a signal brought by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device, converts the touch information into contact coordinates, and sends the touch information. The processor 220 is provided and can receive commands from the processor 220 and execute them. In the embodiment of the present invention, if the first triggering event is the first gesture, when the touch detecting device in the touch panel 241 detects the touch operation, the touch controller that sends the signal corresponding to the detected touch operation is touched. The controller converts the signal into contact coordinates and sends it to the processor 220. The processor 220 determines the touch operation as the first gesture according to the received contact coordinates, and then responds to the first gesture, specifically calling the shortcut window from the memory 230 and quickly At least one object included in the window, and displaying a shortcut window on the display device 210 and at least one object included in the shortcut window.

The touch panel 241 can be implemented by using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic waves. It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the touch panel 241 can cover the display panel 211 to form a touch display screen. In addition to the touch panel 241, the input device 240 may also include other input devices 242, which may include, but are not limited to, physical keyboards, function keys (such as One or more of the volume control button, the switch button, and the like, the trackball, the mouse, the joystick, and the like. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first trigger event is not limited to the first gesture, and is also a physical button or the like.

In addition to the above, the terminal 200 may further include a power source 250 for powering other modules and a camera 260 for taking photos or videos. Terminal 200 may also include one or more sensors 270, such as acceleration sensors, light sensors, pressure sensors, and the like. Therefore, the first triggering event of the embodiment of the present invention may also be that the terminal 200 detects a pressure or the like in a specific area of the display device 210. Specifically, the terminal 200 may further include a radio frequency (RF) circuit 280 for The network communication with the wireless network device may further include a WiFi module 290 for performing WiFi communication with other devices.

Although not shown, the terminal 200 may further include a flash or the like, which will not be described herein.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the method for displaying an interface according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

Step 300: When the terminal displays the first interface, the first trigger event is detected, and the first trigger event is used to trigger the presentation of the shortcut window on the first interface.

In the step 300, the first interface may be a desktop, an interface of an application, or an interface of a file (for example, an interface of a word document), and the first trigger event may be specific to the display area. Touch gestures (such as three-finger slides), specific sounds, pressing operations on specific areas in the display area, selecting specific physical buttons, identifying specific fingerprints, hovering touches identified by infrared or ultrasound, or stress Screen and so on.

When the first trigger event is a specific touch gesture on the display area, the user can customize the touch gesture at the terminal as needed. When the first trigger event is a specific sound, the user can customize the sound at the terminal as needed.

Step 301: The terminal displays a shortcut window on the first interface in response to the first trigger event, where at least one object included in the shortcut window, each object is associated with one element, and elements associated with the at least one object include installed in the terminal. At least two of the apps, contacts, settings, reminders, and documents on the page.

In addition, the object associated with the object included in the shortcut window may also be only one of the applications, contacts, setting items, reminders, and documents that have been installed on the terminal.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the element associated with the object is an application that has been installed on the terminal, the object is an icon of the element or a screenshot of the interface last displayed on the terminal after being scaled down. . For example, when the element is a WeChat installed on the terminal, the object may be an icon of WeChat, or a screenshot of the interface last displayed on the terminal after the scaled down on the terminal. Wherein, if the last interface displayed on the display is a dynamic interface, the screenshot can be a dynamic screenshot or a static screenshot.

In addition, the object can also be a music file or a document or the like.

Therefore, when a large number of applications are installed in the terminal and a large number of documents are saved, the icons of the applications displayed on the terminal are more, resulting in inconvenient user searching, and the objects of the commonly used applications or the objects of the documents can be set. In the shortcut window, the user can directly invoke the shortcut window through the first trigger event. Since the object included in the shortcut window is less than the icon on the terminal desktop, the user can quickly find the user and further improve the user experience.

Specifically, the shortcut window is triggered by triggering the first interface on the three fingers, and the shortcut window is not displayed on the first interface before the terminal responds to the first trigger event. Since the number of objects included in the shortcut window may be greater than the number of objects that can be displayed in the shortcut window, optionally, when the number of objects included in the shortcut window is greater than the number of objects displayed in the shortcut window The terminal detects a sliding operation in the display area of the shortcut window; then, in response to the sliding operation, switches at least one object displayed in the shortcut window, and determines that at least one object selected is included in the object displayed in the shortcut window.

For example, the terminal displays the shortcut window on the first interface in the manner shown in FIG. 4a. In FIG. 4a, 400 is used to indicate that the shortcut window 401 is used to represent the object, wherein a maximum of several objects can be set in 400. You can make different settings according to your needs. You can set up to 4 objects per line in the shortcut window 400 as shown in Figure 4a. A page can display up to 8 objects, that is, the display area of the shortcut window can display up to 8 objects. When the number of objects to be set exceeds 8, the object can be set by two pages as shown in FIG. 4b, and different pages can be switched by sliding left and right, as shown in FIG. 4b, by sliding to the left to switch to the page of the dotted frame. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4c, by sliding the object in the shortcut window by sliding left and right, as shown in FIG. 4d, the object in the shortcut window is displayed by sliding up and down. The progress bar on the lower side of Figure 4c and the progress bar on the right side of Figure 4d are used to display the position of the currently displayed object in all objects set in the shortcut window.

The manner of adjusting an object that can be displayed in the shortcut window in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited by the type of the element associated with the object included in the shortcut window. For example, when the object included in the shortcut window is only associated with the installed application, the adjustment is quick. The manner in which the objects can be displayed in the window can also be adjusted in the manner involved in the embodiments of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the size of the shortcut window and the position of the shortcut window in the display area are not limited. As shown in FIG. 4 e, the shortcut window is in the middle of the display area, and the shortcut window shown in FIG. 4f is displayed in full screen.

When the first interface is a desktop, a shortcut window can also be displayed in the Dock area of the desktop, as shown in FIG. 4h, by sliding left and right to change the object displayed in the shortcut window.

Optionally, in order to avoid too many objects in the shortcut window, the maximum value of the setting object in a shortcut window may be preset.

In addition, the terminal may further adjust the size of the shortcut window according to the third trigger event triggered by the user. Specifically, after the terminal displays the shortcut window, the third trigger event is detected, and the size of the shortcut window is adjusted in response to the third trigger event. The third trigger event is used to adjust the size of the shortcut window. The third trigger event may be a sliding operation or the like. For example, the initial size of the shortcut window is as shown in FIG. 4f, and the shortcut window size is adjusted by the user-triggered operation to be as shown in FIG. 4e, for example, the pair of shortcut windows in FIG. 4f. The angle a, if the user-triggered operation is closer to the middle from the two ends of the diagonal a, respectively, the length and width of the shortcut window are simultaneously reduced, and the specific users simultaneously from the two ends of the diagonal a After sliding 1cm in the middle to stop, as shown in FIG. 4g, the shortcut window 400 is reduced to a shortcut window 420, wherein the object can be reduced by the same ratio, or the size of the object is unchanged, and the shortcut window becomes smaller, in one row. You can reduce the number of objects, such as displaying 3 objects in one line and displaying one or two objects in one line. In addition, you can directly reduce or enlarge the size of the shortcut window in the horizontal or vertical direction.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the shortcut window is not the full screen size, the location of the shortcut window may also be moved according to the operation triggered by the user, and the specific operation may be The sliding operation of the fixed area, for example, the sliding operation is to slide the finger from left to right, the shortcut window moves to the right, and the specific movement can be moved according to the actual horizontal sliding distance, that is, the shortcut window slides following the sliding of the finger, when the shortcut window After sliding out the display area of the terminal, the shortcut window is hidden from the part of the terminal display area. When the shortcut window slides out of the display area of the terminal, the finger continues to slide, and the shortcut window is hidden. In addition, in a specific embodiment, the shortcut window can also be slid by following the sliding of the finger. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the shortcut window is moved to the edge of the display area of the terminal, whether the finger continues to move or not The edges continue to slide and the shortcut window no longer moves.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the transparency of the background of the shortcut window may also be adjusted. Taking FIG. 5 as an example, the shadow area in the shortcut window 400 is the background of the shortcut window, and the transparency of the background may be adjusted according to the needs of the user. When the transparency is 0, the shortcut window completely covers the first interface. When the transparency is 100%, the user can see the content of the shortcut window in the first interface through the background of the shortcut window.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment of the shortcut window size, the position, and the background transparency is not limited by the type of the element associated with the object included in the shortcut window. For example, when the object included in the shortcut window is only associated with the installed application, the shortcut window The adjustment of the size, position and background transparency can also be adjusted in a manner that is relevant to embodiments of the present invention.

Step 302: After detecting that at least one object in the shortcut window is selected, the terminal displays an interface of an element associated with the selected object.

Due to changes in time, the commonly used application may change correspondingly due to changes in the user's usage habits. To improve the user experience, optionally, when the first interface is the interface of the first application, the terminal displays In an interface, a second trigger event is detected, and the second trigger event is used to trigger setting the first object into the shortcut window; and in response to the second trigger event, setting the first object to the shortcut window, the first object and the first object An application association.

The second trigger event may be a gesture operation that is independent of the first interface itself, such as a three-finger slide, etc., or may be set by setting a physical icon on the trigger interface, or performing operations such as sound and pressure.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4a, the shortcut window 400 includes eight objects. If the maximum number of objects that can be set in the shortcut window is nine, the first object is directly set to the front of the object 401, as shown in FIG. 4i. 402 is the first object; if the maximum number of objects that can be set in the shortcut window is 8, delete one of the objects that meets the preset condition, and then set the first object to the shortcut window, specifically, preset The condition can be set according to the actual situation, for example, the preset condition is one object selected the least in the shortcut window.

Optionally, when determining, by the terminal, that the feature of the at least one element that is installed on the terminal meets the preset feature, the terminal associates the object associated with the at least one element into the shortcut window.

Specifically, if the element is an application that has been installed on the terminal, the terminal intelligently recommends the application to be used by the user by learning the usage habits of the application installed by the user on the terminal and analyzing the data of the application used by the user, facilitating the user. Quickly find the app you want to use. For example, the icon of the application that meets the preset condition is set to the shortcut window in the preset time period. Specifically, the preset feature is that the number of times the user uses the first application exceeds a preset threshold in a certain period of time (for example, the preset threshold is 8 And the terminal sets the icon of the first application to the shortcut window when detecting the start time of the time period, optionally, when the termination time of the time period is reached, deleting the first application in the shortcut window Icon. The preset feature can also be an application with new reminder or unread information. For example, if the terminal detects a new reminder in a message application such as a mailbox or a short message, the icon of the new reminder message such as a mailbox or a short message is set to In the shortcut window.
