In addition, "and/or" in the specification and claims means at least one of connected objects, a character "/" generally means that a preceding and succeeding related objects are in an "or" relationship.

The following describes in detail a method for using the timing control provided by the embodiment of the present application through a specific embodiment and an application scenario thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a method for using a timing control according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The using method of the timing control can be applied to touch electronic equipment. The touch electronic device may be a terminal equipped with a touch display screen. For example, the terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, an e-book reader, smart glasses, a smart watch, a music player, a notebook computer, a laptop portable computer, a desktop computer, and the like. As shown in fig. 1, the method for using the timing control may include:

step 101, receiving a first input to a timing control under the condition that the timing control and a target identifier are displayed.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device may display one or more timing controls. One or more target identifications may also be displayed. The target identifier may indicate a target function of the first application program or the second application program, or may be an icon indicating that the first application program or the second application program corresponds to the target function. When the number of the target identifiers is multiple, each target identifier may indicate a different first application program or indicate a different target function of the same second application program. The first application program and the second application program can be the same application program; or may be a different application.

For example, the second application may be a system program, and the target function of the second application may be a network function or a power supply function. The target identifier indicating the network function may be a network icon of the display interface. The target identifier indicating the power supply function may be a battery icon of the display interface.

Alternatively, the timing control may be hourglass shaped. The timing control may trigger the display by a setting input. For example, the electronic device may receive a seventh input, and in response to the seventh input, display a timing control on the display interface. Wherein, the seventh input may be a click, long press, slide, hover gesture, or voice input. For example, the user may slide the "T" word on the display screen. The electronic device can receive the slide input and display a timing control in response to the slide input. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, the display interface displays a battery icon 201. The user may click on the battery icon. After the electronic equipment receives the click input of the battery icon, the timing control is displayed on the display interface in response to the click input.

And 102, responding to the first input, and executing the target event under the condition that the position relation between the timing control and the target identification meets a preset condition. The target event is associated with the target identification, and the execution time of the target event is associated with the timing control.

In embodiments of the present application, the first input to the timing control may comprise an input to move the timing control. The timing control may thus be moved in response to the first input in accordance with the first input. So that the target event is executed under the condition that the position relation between the timing control and the target identification meets the preset condition. The target event associated with the target identifier may be a preset event. The preset setting may refer to factory setting of a developer, or may refer to user-independent setting.

Optionally, the condition that the positional relationship between the timing control and the target identifier satisfies the preset condition may include at least one of: the position of the timing control and the position of the target identification have a superposition area. The timing control is located in a first target area corresponding to the target identification. And the timing control and the target identification are both positioned in the second target area. Optionally, corresponding to the aforementioned three preset conditions are: the first input may be an input to move the timing control to the target identification, or the first input may be an input to move the timing control to the first target area corresponding to the target identification. Alternatively, the first input may be an input moving the timing control to the second target area. For example, the first input may be a sliding input that moves the timing control to the target identifier, or the first input may be a voice input that indicates that the timing control is moved to the region in which the target identifier is located.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 3, the target identifier is an application icon, and the target identifier indicates the first application program of video A. In fig. 3, the target identifier 302 is an icon 302 corresponding to the video a, the user can move the timing control 301 to the target identifier 302, and the first input is an input of moving the timing control 301 to the target identifier 302. As shown in fig. 4, the target identifier is a network identifier, and the target identifier indicates a network function of the system application. The user may move the timing control 401 to the target identification (the network icon is obscured by the target identification at the end of the movement in fig. 4), then the first input is an input to move the timing control 401 to the network identification. As shown in fig. 5, the target identifier is a battery identifier, and the target identifier indicates a power supply function of the system application. In fig. 5, the target identifier 502 is a battery icon 502, the user can move the timing control 501 to the target identifier 502, and the first input is an input of moving the timing control 501 to the target identifier 502. As shown in fig. 6, the target identifier is a time identifier, and the target identifier indicates a system application. In fig. 6, the target identifier 602 is a time icon 602, and the user can move the timing control 601 to the time icon 602. The second input is an input to move the timing control 601 to the position of the time icon 602.

Optionally, the process of the electronic device executing the target event may include: and the electronic equipment controls the running state of the object corresponding to the target identification to be adjusted to the target running state. That is, the target event is an event in which the operating state of the object corresponding to the control target identifier is adjusted to the target operating state. Wherein, the target operation state may include: a shutdown state, a locked state, an unlocked state, a startup state, a shutdown state, or a low power consumption operating state. The target operating state may also include a message reminder free state, etc.

And the object corresponding to the target identifier exits the operation stop, and the object corresponding to the target identifier is in a closed state. When the object corresponding to the target identifier is in the locked state, the running state of the object corresponding to the target identifier is changed into the startable state after the interval set time length. When the object corresponding to the target identifier is in the unlocked state, the running state of the object corresponding to the target identifier may be changed to the starting state by a trigger operation such as clicking. When the object corresponding to the target identifier is in an openable state, the user can perform setting input on the object corresponding to the target identifier, so that the object corresponding to the target identifier runs. When the object corresponding to the target identification is in a low-power-consumption working state, the power consumption of the electronic equipment for operating the object corresponding to the target identification is lower than the target power consumption, and when the object corresponding to the target identification is in a normal working state, the power consumption of the electronic equipment for operating the object corresponding to the target identification is lower than the target power consumption. When the target identification indicates that the object is in the message reminding-free state, all messages generated by the object corresponding to the target identification cannot be displayed on the display screen.

In the embodiment of the application, the target running state of the object corresponding to the electronic equipment control target identifier can be changed more, and the flexibility of the running state of the object corresponding to the electronic equipment control target identifier is higher.

For example, the process of adjusting the operating state of the object corresponding to the electronic device control target identifier to the target operating state may include: and under the condition that the target mark is the application icon, the electronic equipment controls the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon to be adjusted to be the locking state. Or controlling the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon to be adjusted to be the unlocking state under the condition that the target mark is the application icon. Or, under the condition that the target mark is the application icon, the electronic equipment controls the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon to be adjusted to be the starting state. Or, under the condition that the target mark is the application icon, the electronic equipment controls the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon to be adjusted to be in a closed state. Or, the electronic device controls the operation state of the electronic device network to be adjusted to be the closed state under the condition that the target identifier is the network identifier. Or, in the case that the target identifier is the battery identifier, the electronic device controls the running state of the electronic device to be adjusted to a low-power-consumption working state. Or, the electronic device controls the running state of the electronic device to be adjusted to be in the closed state under the condition that the target mark is the time mark.

It can be understood that different running states may correspond to different first inputs, for example, as described above, when the first input is dragging and moving the timing control to the application icon, the application may be closed after a certain time, and when the first input is long-pressing the timing control and then long-pressing the application icon so that the control moves to the position where the application icon is located, the application may be locked after a certain time.

In this embodiment of the application, the process of the electronic device executing the target event may also include: the electronic equipment controls the style of the object corresponding to the target identification to be adjusted to the target style, namely the event of which the target time is the adjustment style. Of course, the target event may also be other events, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, the timing control has timing functionality. The timing control may be set to a first duration (timing duration). The first time period may be factory-fixed or the first time period may be configurable. In the case that the first duration is configurable, before the step 102, in response to the first input, executing the target event in the case that the positional relationship between the timing control and the target identifier satisfies the preset condition, the method further includes: the electronic device may receive a fifth input to the timing control. And responding to a fifth input, and setting a first time length corresponding to the timing control.

The fifth input may be a write input of a first duration. That is, the user can directly write the first duration through the input device such as the keyboard, and the fifth input is the write input of the first duration. Alternatively, the timing control comprises a time plus-minus sub-control. The fifth input is the input of the time plus-minus sub-control. That is, the user can click the plus key in the time plus-minus sub-control, so that the timing time is increased from the initial time (for example, 0), and the first duration is obtained. Or, the user can click the number-reducing key in the time plus-minus sub-control, so that the timing time is reduced from the initial time to obtain the first time length.

In the embodiment of the application, the first duration can be set by the user based on the fifth input, so that compared with a scheme that the first duration is fixed duration, the setting flexibility of the timing control is improved, and further the running state of the target identification indication object can be more flexibly controlled based on the timing duration of the timing control.

In the case that the timing control corresponds to the first duration, the electronic device may execute the target event based on the first duration. Optionally, in step 102, in response to the first input, before executing the target event if the positional relationship between the timing control and the target identifier satisfies a preset condition, and after the electronic device sets the first duration corresponding to the timing control in response to the fifth input, the method further includes:

the electronic device receives a sixth input to the timing control. In response to a sixth input, the timing control is controlled to initiate a timing function. Alternatively, the sixth input may be a click, long press, swipe, hover gesture, or voice input, among other types of input. The electronic device may send a start instruction to the timing control after responding to the sixth input. Thereby controlling the timing control to start the timing function and be in a timing state.

By way of example, as shown in FIG. 7, timing control 701 may include a start promoter control 702. The sixth input may be a click input to the child widget 702. The user may click on the child widget. Causing the electronic device to receive a click input to the child widget. Alternatively, the sixth input may be a rotational input to the timing control. The user may rotate the timing control in the set direction to a fourth angle.

In another optional case, in step 102, in the case that the electronic device responds to the first input and the positional relationship between the timing control and the target identifier satisfies a preset condition, executing the target event may include: and responding to the first input, and receiving a sixth input to the timing control by the electronic equipment under the condition that the position relation between the timing control and the target identification meets a preset condition. In response to a sixth input, the timing control is controlled to initiate a timing function.

Wherein the electronic device receives a sixth input to the timing control. In response to the sixth input, controlling the timing control to initiate the interpretation and implementation of the timing function may refer to the aforementioned alternative case where the electronic device receives the sixth input to the timing control. Responding to the sixth input, controlling the timing control to start the explanation and implementation process of the timing function, which is not described in detail in this embodiment of the application. The electronic equipment can respond to the sixth input and control the timing control to start the timing function under the condition that the position relation between the timing control and the target identification meets the preset condition. Compared with the former mode, the invalid timing of the timing control is avoided in the process of adjusting the positions of the timing control and the target identifier, and the use accuracy of the timing control is guaranteed.

Optionally, under the condition that the timing control corresponds to the first duration, the electronic device may execute the target event based on the first duration, where the process of executing the target event may include multiple cases, and the embodiment of the application is described by taking two optional implementation manners as examples.

In a first alternative implementation, the process of the electronic device executing the target event may include: and in the case that the execution time is the execution starting time, executing the target event after the first time length.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal may execute the target event after the timing control corresponds to the first duration. At this time, the timing control can be regarded as having a function of regularly triggering the execution of the target event. The target event may be any of the aforementioned target events.

Optionally, the target event executed after the first duration may identify, for the control target, an event that the operating state of the corresponding object is adjusted to the target operating state. That is, in the case that the execution time is the execution start time, the electronic device may control the operation state of the object corresponding to the target identifier to be adjusted to the target operation state after the first time period.

For example, the electronic device can control the timing control to start timing from 0. And when the timing duration is accumulated to the first duration, controlling the running state of the object corresponding to the target identifier to be adjusted to the target running state. Alternatively, the electronic device may control the timing control to count down from the first duration. When the countdown time length is reduced to 0, the countdown time length is considered to reach the first time length, and the running state of the object corresponding to the target identification is controlled to be adjusted to be the target running state.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device may execute the target event when the timing duration reaches the first duration under the condition that the timing control has the set first duration. The first time length of the timing control can be set, so that the time for executing the target event by the electronic equipment can be manually controlled, a user can conveniently set the change time for executing the target event according to actual requirements, and the user experience is improved.

In a second alternative implementation manner, the process of the electronic device executing the target event may include: and in the case that the execution time is the execution time length, keeping executing the target event in the first time length.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device may keep executing the target event within a first time length corresponding to the timing control. At this time, the timing control can be regarded as having a function of timing off the target event. The target event may be any of the aforementioned target events. Alternatively, the electronic device remaining executing the target event for the first duration may refer to the electronic device failing to control the target identification corresponding object to execute an event other than the target event for the first duration. After the first time period, the electronic device may control the target identification corresponding object to perform an event other than the target event.

Alternatively, the event that is kept executed for the first duration may identify, for the control target, an event that adjusts the operating state of the corresponding object to the target operating state. That is, in the case that the execution time is the execution starting time, the electronic device may adjust and maintain the operation state of the corresponding object for the first duration by using the control target identifier.

For example, after the running state of the object corresponding to the control target identifier is adjusted, the electronic device controls the timing control to start timing from 0. When the timing duration is accumulated to the first duration, the operation state of the object corresponding to the target identifier can be controlled to be adjusted from the target operation state to the operation state before adjustment. Or, the electronic device may control the timing control to count down from the first time length after the operating state of the object corresponding to the control target identifier is adjusted. When the countdown duration is reduced to 0, the timing duration is considered to reach the first duration, and the running state of the object corresponding to the target identifier can be controlled to be adjusted from the target running state to the running state before adjustment.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device may control to execute the target event and maintain the first duration under the condition that the timing control has the set first duration. The first time length of the timing control can be set, so that the holding time length of the electronic equipment for controlling the target event can be manually controlled, a user can conveniently set the holding time length of the target event according to actual requirements, and user experience is improved.

In an example, taking an event that the target event is a control target and the operation state of the corresponding object is adjusted to the target operation state as an example, in the first optional implementation manner and the second optional implementation manner, a process of the electronic device executing the target event is further described.

In the case that the target identifier is an application icon, the process of the electronic device controlling the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon to be adjusted to the locked state may include: and in the first time length, the electronic equipment controls the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon to be adjusted to be the locking state. Or the electronic equipment controls the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon to be adjusted to be the locking state, and keeps the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon in the first time period to be the locking state.

In the case that the target identifier is an application icon, the process of the electronic device controlling the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon to be adjusted to the starting state may include: and in the first time length, the electronic equipment controls the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon to be adjusted to be the starting state. Or the electronic equipment controls the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon to be adjusted to be the starting state, and keeps the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon in the first time period to be the starting state.

In the case that the target identifier is an application icon, the process of controlling, by the electronic device, the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon to be adjusted to the closed state may include: and within the first time length, the electronic equipment controls the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon to be adjusted to be a closed state. Or the electronic equipment controls the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon to be adjusted to be the closed state, and keeps the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon in the first time period to be the closed state.

Or, in the case that the target identifier is a network identifier, the process of the electronic device controlling the operation state of the electronic device network to be adjusted to the off state may include: and within the first time length, the electronic equipment controls the running state of the electronic equipment network to be adjusted to be in a closed state. Or the electronic equipment controls the operation state of the electronic equipment network to be adjusted to be the closed state, and keeps the operation state of the electronic equipment network adjusted to be the closed state within the first time length.

Or, in the case that the target identifier is a battery identifier, the process of the electronic device controlling the operation state of the electronic device to be adjusted to the low-power-consumption operation state may include: and in the first time period, the electronic equipment controls the running state of the electronic equipment to be adjusted to a low-power-consumption working state. Or the electronic equipment controls the running state of the electronic equipment to be adjusted to a low-power-consumption working state, and keeps the running state of the electronic equipment adjusted to the low-power-consumption working state within the first time period.

Or, in the case that the target identifier is the time identifier, the process of the electronic device controlling the operation state of the electronic device to be adjusted to the off state may include: and within the first time length, the electronic equipment controls the running state of the electronic equipment to be adjusted to be in a closed state. Or the electronic equipment controls the running state of the electronic equipment to be adjusted to be the closed state, and keeps the running state of the electronic equipment adjusted to be the closed state within the first time length.

For example, assume that the target event identifies, as the control target, an event in which the operating state of the corresponding object is adjusted to the target operating state. As shown in fig. 8, the target operating state may be a locked state. Under the operation shown in fig. 3, after the first duration, the electronic device controls the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon to be adjusted to the locked state. At this time, it indicates that game a cannot be executed again within the set time period after game a is executed for a certain time period. The set time period may be three hours or one day, etc. The electronic device may display a lock indicator 802 on the target indicator (icon corresponding to game a in fig. 8) 801. The locking indicia in fig. 8 is in the form of a lock indicia. According to the technical scheme, the first input can be simply executed on the timing control, so that the running state of the application corresponding to the application icon is automatically controlled to be adjusted to the locking state after the first time length when the position relation between the timing control and the application icon meets the preset condition. Therefore, the operation process of the function of limiting the use time of the application program is simple, and the efficiency of effectively limiting the use time of the application program is improved. Meanwhile, the method can help the user to improve the management capability on time and improve the user experience.

For another example, assume that the target event is an event in which the operating state of the corresponding object is adjusted to the target operating state for the control target identifier. The target operating state is an off state. Under the operation shown in fig. 4, the operation state of the electronic device control electronic device network is adjusted to the off state after the first period of time. This indicates that the network connection will be automatically cut off after the first duration.

For another example, assume that the target event identifies, as the control target, an event in which the operating state of the corresponding object is adjusted to the target operating state. The target operating state is a low power consumption operating state. Under the operation shown in fig. 5, the operation state of the electronic device controlled by the electronic device is adjusted to the low power consumption operation state after the first period of time. At this time, it is indicated that the power supply function is performed in the low battery mode or the deep sleep mode after the first duration.

For another example, assume that the target event identifies, as the control target, an event that adjusts the operating state of the corresponding object to the target operating state. The target operating state is an off state. Under the operation shown in fig. 6, the operation state of the electronic device control electronic device is adjusted to the off state after the first period of time. This indicates that the power is turned off automatically after the first duration.

In the embodiment of the application, the first input to the timing control can be received under the condition that the timing control and the target identification are displayed. And responding to the first input, and executing the target event associated with the target identifier under the condition that the position relation of the timing control and the target identifier meets the preset condition. Wherein the execution time of the target event is associated with a timing control. According to the technical scheme, the relative positions of the timing control and the target identifier are controlled, so that the events related to the target identifier are automatically controlled and executed, and the execution time of the target events is controlled. And the operation of triggering and executing the target event is simple, and the operation efficiency is higher. Under the condition that the target identifier indicates the application program, the timing control can be input in the technical scheme, so that the expected execution time of the application program or the execution time of the target event can be automatically controlled under the condition that the position relation between the timing control and the target identifier meets the preset condition. Compared with the prior art, the method needs to manually trigger the application program to execute the expected event by checking the use duration on the statistical interface and manually triggering the application program to execute the expected event when the use duration reaches the expected time, so that the operation process of triggering the application program to execute the expected event is simplified, and the operation efficiency is improved. The application program is prevented from executing the expected event and relying on manual operation control, and the triggering efficiency of the expected event is improved.

Optionally, the electronic device may also provide a single timing function to the user by displaying a timing control.

As shown in fig. 9, the method further includes:

step 901, receiving a fifth input to the timing control.

Alternatively, the fifth input may be a timed duration write input. That is, the user can directly write the timing duration through an input device such as a keyboard, the fifth input is a write input of the timing duration. Or the timing control comprises a timing duration plus-minus sub-control. The fifth input is the input of the plus-minus sub control on the timing duration. Namely, the user can click the plus key in the timed duration plus-minus sub-control, so that the timed duration is increased from the initial time. Or, the user can click the number-reducing key in the timed duration plus-minus sub-control, so that the timed duration is reduced from the initial time.

And step 902, responding to the fifth input, and setting the timing duration of the timing control.

In this embodiment, corresponding to the fifth input, the electronic device may set the written timing duration as the timing duration of the timing control. Or, the electronic device may obtain the timing duration obtained after the input of the timing duration plus-minus sub-control, and set the timing duration as the timing duration of the timing control.

Step 903, receiving a sixth input to the timing control.

Alternatively, the sixth input may be a click, long press, swipe, hover gesture, or voice input, among other types of input. By way of example, as shown in FIG. 7, timing control 701 may include a start promoter control 702. The sixth input may be a click input to a child widget. The user may click on the child widget. Causing the electronic device to receive a click input to the child widget. Alternatively, the sixth input may be a rotational input to the timing control. The user may rotate the timing control in the set direction to a fourth angle.

And 904, responding to the sixth input, and controlling the timing control to start a timing function.

In this embodiment of the application, the electronic device may send a start instruction to the timing control after responding to the sixth input. Thereby controlling the timing control to start the timing function and be in a timing state.

And step 905, displaying a prompt message when the timing duration reaches the timing duration. The prompt message is used for extracting the time length of the user reaching the timing.

Alternatively, the prompt message may be text information, picture information, voice information, video information, or the like. Illustratively, the prompt message may be a text message. When the timing duration reaches the timing duration, the electronic equipment can display a screen display prompt window. The prompt window may display prompt information.

It should be noted that the timing control can be displayed on any interface on the display screen in any state. For example, as shown in fig. 10, when the position relationship between the timing control and the target identifier satisfies a preset condition, and the running state of the application (game a) corresponding to the application icon controlled by the electronic device is adjusted to the off state, the timing control 1001 may be displayed on the game interface 1000 of the game a.

Further, when the display screen is in the screen off state, the timing control in the timing state is displayed, and in the screen off state, all regions or part of regions of the display screen are turned off. And the timing control starts a timing function in the timing state. Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 11, the display screen 1100 shown in FIG. 11 is a display screen that is off in full area. The timing control 1101 in the timing state may be displayed on the display screen.

In the embodiment of the application, the timing control can display any interface on the display screen in any state, so that a user can conveniently check the timing progress everywhere, and the time control capability of the user is improved.

Optionally, during the display of the timing control, the user may change the display position of the timing control at will. As shown in fig. 12, the method further includes:

step 1201, receiving a third input to the timing control.

And 1202, responding to a third input, and controlling the timing control to move based on the third input.

Alternatively, the third input may be a click, long press, swipe, hover gesture, or voice input, among other types of input. In the embodiment of the application, the third input is taken as a sliding input or a clicking operation as an example, and the electronic device is further explained based on the third input to control the movement of the timing control.

In a first alternative implementation, the third input is a slide input. The process for the electronic device to control movement of the timing control based on the third input may include: the electronic device obtains a sliding direction and a track length of the sliding input. And controlling the timing control to move the track length along the sliding direction.

For example, as shown in fig. 13, the display interface shown in fig. 13 is an interface of game a. The user may slide the timing control 1301 from an initial position a in a first direction (indicated by arrow 1302 in fig. 13) to a first position B. And if the third input is the input of sliding the timing control to the first position along the first direction, the electronic equipment controls the timing control to move from the initial position A to the first position B. Alternatively, the user may slide the timing control 1301 from the initial position a to the second position C in a second direction (indicated by arrow 1303 in fig. 13). And if the third input is the input of sliding the timing control to the second position along the second direction, the electronic equipment controls the timing control to move from the initial position A to the second position C. Alternatively, the user may slide the time control 1301 from the initial position A to a third position D in a third direction (indicated by arrow 1304 in FIG. 13). And if the third input is the input of sliding the timing control to the third position along the third direction, the electronic equipment controls the timing control to move from the initial position A to the third position D.

In a second alternative implementation, the third input is a click input. The process for the electronic device to control movement of the timing control based on the third input may include: the electronic device may obtain a target distance and a movement direction between a click position of the click input and a display position of the timing control. And controlling the timing control to move the target distance along the moving direction. Wherein, the moving direction may be a direction pointing from the display position to the click position.

And 1203, displaying the timing control at the moving termination position of the timing control.

Alternatively, the terminal may detect whether the termination position of the movement of the timing control is an edge region of the display screen. The electronic device may display the timing control upon detecting that the termination location of the movement of the timing control is not an edge region of the display screen. When the ending position of the movement of the timing control is detected to be the edge area of the display screen, the electronic device may hide the timing control or display part of the timing control.

In the embodiment of the application, the user can control the timing control to move, so that the electronic equipment can display the timing control at any position of a screen. And when the fact that the movement termination position of the timing control is the edge area of the display screen is detected, the user wants to hide the timing control to avoid interference of the timing control, and at the moment, the timing control can be hidden or part of the timing control can be displayed. The display flexibility of the timing control is improved.

Optionally, during the display of the timing control, the style of the timing control may be changed based on the change of the timing duration of the timing control during the timing of the timing control to the first duration. Therefore, the user can sense the time change more intuitively and conveniently, the time surplus can be displayed more vividly, and the user experience is improved. The method further comprises the following steps: the electronic device can change the style of the timing control based on the timing duration.

Optionally, the electronic device may store a plurality of time length ranges, and the color of the timing control corresponding to each time length range is different. The method further comprises the following steps: and the electronic equipment changes the style of the timing control based on the timing duration.

Based on the timing duration, the process of changing the style of the timing control by the electronic device may include:

the electronic equipment obtains a target duration range to which the required duration belongs based on the required duration when the timing duration reaches the first duration. And changing the color of the timing control into the color corresponding to the target duration range.

Illustratively, the electronic device stores a style change table. The style change table is used for recording a plurality of time length ranges, and the colors of the timing control pieces corresponding to the time length ranges are different. The electronic equipment can acquire the required time length when the timing time length reaches the first time length in real time to obtain the target time length range to which the required time length belongs. So as to search the color corresponding to the target duration range from the style change table. And changing the color of the timing control into the color corresponding to the target duration range. For example, there are three time length ranges of [0,1/3X), [1/3X,2/3X), and [2/3X, X ], which represents the timing length. The three time length ranges respectively correspond to green, yellow and red. The color of the timing control is changed to green, yellow and red in sequence from the start of timing by the timing control.

Or, the electronic device may change the style of the timing control based on the timing duration by: and the electronic equipment changes the depth of the color of the timing control based on the required time length when the timing time length reaches the first time length. Wherein the shorter the required time, the stronger the depth.

Alternatively, the timing control may be hourglass shaped. The timing control comprises two containers which are arranged oppositely and are used for displaying fillings. The electronic device may change the style of the timing control based on the timing duration by: and the electronic equipment changes the quantity of the fillers in the container positioned above and the quantity of the fillers in the container positioned below in the timing control based on the required time length for reaching the first time length. The shorter the required time, the smaller the number of the fillers in the upper container, the larger the number of the fillers in the lower container, and the amount of change in the number of the fillers in the upper container is equal to the amount of change in the number of the fillers in the lower container.

Optionally, after the timing control starts the timing function, the user may change the operating state of the timing control by changing the posture of the timing control. As shown in fig. 14, the method further includes:

step 1401, receiving a fourth input for changing a gesture of the timing control.

Optionally, the fourth input may be used to change a zoom gesture of the timing control. Or the fourth input may also be used to change the rotational attitude of the timing control, etc. In the embodiment of the present application, the fourth input is taken as an example for changing the rotation posture of the timing control, that is, the fourth input is taken as an input for rotating the timing control.

For example, the user may press one end of the timing control for a long time and slide in a set direction. To rotate the timing control. The set direction may be any surrounding direction of the timing control.

And 1402, responding to the fourth input, and changing the working state of the timing control based on the fourth input.

In this embodiment, in the case that the fourth input is an input for rotating the timing control, the process of the electronic device changing the operating state of the timing control based on the fourth input may include: and changing the working state of the timing control based on the rotation angle of the timing control.

Optionally, in response to a fourth input, the timing control may be rotated in different directions by different angles. The electronic device may pre-store different working states of the timing control corresponding to different angles along the set direction. After the electronic device responds to the fourth input and obtains the rotation angle of the timing control, the electronic device may search for a corresponding relationship between the angle and the working state of the timing control based on the rotation angle of the timing control to obtain a target working state corresponding to the rotation angle. And changing the working state of the timing control into a target working state.

For example, the correspondence of the angle to the operating state of the timing control may include: in the setting direction, the first angle corresponds to a pause timing state, the second angle corresponds to a timing state, and the third angle corresponds to a re-timing state. The process of the electronic device changing the working state of the timing control based on the rotation angle of the timing control may include: and when the rotation angle of the timing control along the set direction is determined to be a first angle, changing the working state of the timing control into a timing pause state. And when the rotation angle of the timing control along the set direction is determined to be a second angle, changing the working state of the timing control into a timing state. And when the rotation angle of the timing control along the set direction is determined to be a third angle, changing the working state of the timing control into a re-timing state.

In the embodiment of the application, the timing control can be switched between different states by rotating the timing control in a simple interactive mode, so that different functions of the timing control are realized. The operation of the user is convenient, the use interest of the user is increased, and the user experience is improved.

The embodiment of the present application explains again that the electronic device changes the operating state of the timing control based on the rotation angle of the timing control in response to the fourth input by using the following three examples. In each of the following three examples, it is assumed that the setting direction is the counterclockwise direction of the timing control.

As an example, the first angle may be 90 degrees. As shown in fig. 15, the extending direction of the timing control is a vertical direction. The user pushes one end of the timing control 1501 for a long time and slides the end of the timing control 90 degrees in the set direction. Causing the direction of extension of the timing control to change to a horizontal direction, i.e., timing control 1601 shown in fig. 16. And when the electronic equipment determines that the rotation angle of the timing control along the set direction is a first angle, the working state of the timing control is changed into a timing suspension state. At this time, the timing control suspends timing.

As another example, the second angle may be-90 degrees. As shown in fig. 17, the extending direction of the timing control is a horizontal direction. The user pushes one end of the timing control 1701 a long time and slides the one end of the timing control by-90 degrees in the set direction, that is, by 90 degrees in the direction opposite to the set direction. And when the electronic equipment determines that the rotation angle of the timing control along the set direction is a second angle, the working state of the timing control is changed into a timing state. At this time, the timing control resumes timing.

For yet another example, the third angle may be 360 degrees. As shown in fig. 18, the user presses one end of the timer control 1801 for a long time, and slides the one end of the timer control 360 degrees in the setting direction. And when the electronic equipment determines that the rotation angle of the timing control along the set direction is a third angle, the working state of the timing control is changed into a re-timing state. At the moment, the timing control resets the timing duration and restarts the timing function.
