As shown in FIG. 10B, two virtual buttons 1004 and 1005 are displayed when the image 1001 is displayed after the touch operation performed by the user's finger 1003 on the display screen is received within a preset time. Is further displayed, which allows the user to operate on the image. If the user's operation is received within a preset time, this indicates that the user is interested in the image. Therefore, more controls are displayed on the display screen. As a result, the user can easily perform various operations on the image after that, and the performance of the intellectual dialogue between the second electronic device and the user is improved.

Step S408: Stop displaying the image on the display screen of the second electronic device. When the second electronic device determines that the user's operation will not be accepted within a preset time, this is because the user has viewed the image but has no intention of saving the image, or is different from the image. Indicates that there is no intention to perform the operation of. In this case, the second electronic device does not need to display the image and does not need to store the image in the memory. This improves the intellectual level of the second electronic device.

In this embodiment, there is no definitive order between steps S400, S401, and S402. For example, in another embodiment, step S402 may take place before step S401, or step S400 may take place after step S402, which completes all of the following steps before step S403: The condition is that two electronic devices establish a Wi-Fi link with the same Wi-Fi wireless access point, a Bluetooth link is established between the two electronic devices, and the two electronic devices have the same device account. Log in to. In some other embodiments of the present application, step S404 may specifically be:

After the first electronic device captures the image, it may first determine whether the display screen of the second electronic device is on. When the display screen of the second electronic device is determined to be on, the first electronic device transmits the captured image to the second electronic device via the wireless link. Alternatively, the first electronic device does not have to transmit the image to the second electronic device when it determines that the display screen of the second electronic device is off.

Specific methods for the first electronic device to determine whether the display screen of the second electronic device is on include whether the screen is off, memory capacity, device hardware / software version information, and the like. The current device state information of the device may be actively fed back to the first electronic device by the second electronic device via a wireless link (such as a Bluetooth link or a Wi-Fi link). The first electronic device then determines whether or not the display screen of the second electronic device is on, based on the device state information fed back by the second electronic device. In some other embodiments of the present application, a method for the first electronic device to determine whether the display screen of the second electronic device is on is, instead, a message transmitted by a cloud server. It may be used to determine whether or not the display screen of the second electronic device is on. For example, since the first electronic device and the second electronic device are logged in to the same device account, the cloud server has the display screen information (whether the screen is off or not and the size, etc.) of the two electronic devices, and the memory capacity. , And some device information such as device hardware / software version information can be collected. The first electronic device may request the cloud server to execute a query and return information about the display screen of the second electronic device. The cloud server executes the query and returns the message to the first electronic device. Thereby, the first electronic device can determine whether or not the display screen of the second electronic device is on, and whether or not to transmit the image to the second electronic device. In this embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device transmits the captured image to the second electronic device only when the display screen of the second electronic device is on.

In some other embodiments of the present application, the first electronic device transfers device information of the first electronic device, such as the device version and device name of the first electronic device, to the second electronic device in addition to the captured image. Further transmission may be performed. For technical implementation, the first electronic device may transmit image information to the second electronic device, which image information may include captured images and device information. The second electronic device may display both the image and the device information on the display screen after receiving the image information. For example, when displaying an image, the second electronic device may further display information related to the device information of the first electronic device. As shown in FIG. 10A, in addition to the image 1001, the prompt box 1002 is displayed on the display screen of the second electronic device, and the prompt box 1002 indicates that the image is from the first electronic device. As a result, the user of the second electronic device can grasp who transmitted the image.

Hereinafter, specific technical solutions used in the present embodiment of the present application will be described in detail based on the above-described embodiment of the image sharing method.

In this embodiment of the present application, two or more electronic devices are used. For example, in the present embodiment, an example of two electronic devices, that is, a first electronic device 101 and a second electronic device 103 will be used to provide an explanation. The first electronic device 101 may be a mobile phone having the hardware structure of FIG. 3, and the second electronic device 103 may be a tablet computer having the hardware structure of FIG.

In some embodiments of the present application, both the first electronic device 101 and the second electronic device 103 need to log in to a particular device account before some features of the electronic device become available. .. For example, contact synchronization and instant sharing features can only be used when the first electronic device is logged in to Huawei ID, and these features are only available when the first electronic device is not logged in to Huawei ID. Can not. This may be the same as the second electronic device 103. Taking the first electronic device 101 as an example, as shown in FIG. 5, the icon 501 is used by the three interfaces of the first electronic device 101 to display various application programs, shortcuts, and widgets. Show that it can be done. The currently displayed interface is the main interface. The main interface may be displayed by touching key 503 with the user's finger. The key 503 may be a virtual key of the touch screen 304 or a physical key. Alternatively, the main interface may be displayed by sliding the touch screen 304 with a finger. The user's finger may touch the setting represented by the icon 502. In response to such a touch event, the first electronic device displays a graphical user interface (hereinafter abbreviated as GUI) on the touch screen 304 as shown in FIG. 6A. In FIG. 6A, menu options such as airplane mode, Wi-Fi, and mobile network related to the settings are displayed. None of Airplane mode, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth are enabled or turned on. Menu option 601 indicates a menu option associated with the Huawei ID. The user may enter the specific interface of the menu option 601 by touching the icon 602, or may enter the menu option by touching any area in the menu option 601. As shown in FIG. 6B, if the user already has a Huawei ID on the GUI, the user may click the virtual button 603 and enter an account and password for login. The electronic device sends the related data to the cloud server on the network side. If the user does not have a Huawei ID, the user may click the virtual button 604 and enter the registration information on another interface to complete the registration of the Huawei ID. After successful authentication on the cloud cloud server, the cloud server returns the data to the electronic device, and then the information related to the Huawei ID to which the electronic device logs in is displayed on the electronic device, as shown in FIG. 6C. In FIG. 6C, the displayed GUI includes a user profile picture 605 and account information 606 (including device account ID, user level, contact information, etc.) of the account. The GUI further displays some common settings menu options. For example, menu option 607 indicates a feature menu option for contact synchronization. The virtual button 608 indicates that the contact synchronization feature is currently enabled. As another example, the GUI displays menu option 609. Menu option 609 indicates the function of Instant Sharing. The virtual button 610 indicates that the immediate sharing function is disabled.

In the present application, the function of immediate sharing means that after a user takes a picture, records a video, or captures a screenshot using an electronic device, the electronic device collects the picture, video, or screenshot in another electronic device. Means that it can be shared immediately with the device. Therefore, in the present embodiment of the present application, "immediately" means that the time interval between the operation of acquiring an image (picture, moving image, or screenshot) and the operation of transmitting the image to another electronic device is very large. It should be understood that it means that it is short and may be measured in microseconds. In addition, there does not have to be an action based on user input between the two actions. In addition, it should be understood that in the present application, the name of menu option 609 is "immediate sharing", but this name is not limited to the present application. In another embodiment of the present application, the name of the menu option 609 may be another name such as "immediate sharing".

As shown in FIG. 6C, when the finger of the user 611 clicks the virtual button 610, the immediate sharing function is activated. As shown in FIG. 6D, the virtual button 610 of FIG. 6C changes to the virtual button 613. The virtual button 613 indicates that the immediate sharing function is enabled. In addition, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is enabled. The corresponding symbols 611 and 612 become visible in the status bar of the electronic device. The Bluetooth device of the electronic device initiates a search and pairing for another Bluetooth-enabled electronic device, after which a Bluetooth link is established between the two electronic devices. In addition, the Bluetooth device operates in master mode and another electronic device operates in slave mode. Both master mode and slave mode are terms in Bluetooth technology and are not described in detail herein. Processing such as search and pairing may be performed by a method that the user does not know about. Alternatively, the user may actively select another related electronic device using the related GUI to perform pairing and Bluetooth link establishment. In addition, the Bluetooth device may further establish a Bluetooth link with another electronic device. Technically, the Bluetooth device may communicate simultaneously with up to seven Bluetooth slave devices. The links established by Bluetooth between an electronic device and other electronic devices may form a small wireless local area network. In some other embodiments of the present application, when an electronic device establishes a Bluetooth link with another electronic device, the user may be prompted in a manner known to the user. For example, "Bluetooth connection with Bluetooth device A has been established" is displayed on the touch screen.

When the immediate sharing feature is enabled, the Wi-Fi device of the electronic device may also be turned on and the Wi-Fi device will start searching for the Wi-Fi signal broadcast by the Wi-Fi wireless access point. To do. After a series of procedures and operations, the electronic device can access the Wi-Fi wireless access point and establish a Wi-Fi link with the Wi-Fi wireless access point. It should be understood that the establishment of wireless links between electronic devices by Bluetooth can be considered as a handshake between electronic devices, indicating that those electronic devices trust each other. When an electronic device accesses a Wi-Fi network, this indicates that the electronic device can use the network to send images to another electronic device at any time.

From FIGS. 6A to 6D, the prerequisite for enabling or disabling the immediate sharing function of the first electronic device 101 is that the first electronic device 101 has already logged in to a related device account such as the Huawei ID described above. It turns out that it is. The device account logged in has a submenu for immediate sharing. It is understood that in another embodiment of the present application, the immediate sharing feature of the first electronic device may optionally be enabled or disabled without logging the first electronic device into the associated device account. I want to. FIG. 7A is a GUI of the setting that is opened after the user's finger clicks the setting 502 of FIG. A setting menu is displayed on the GUI. The menu option 701 is a menu option for immediate sharing, and the virtual button 702 indicates that the immediate sharing function is disabled. In addition, the Wi-Fi function is also disabled as indicated by the virtual button 703, and Bluetooth is also disabled as indicated by the virtual button 704. The first electronic device detects the touch operation of the user's finger on the touch screen. As shown in FIG. 7B, the virtual button 702 changes to the virtual button 705 in response to the touch operation. The virtual button 705 indicates that the immediate sharing function is enabled. In addition, the Wi-Fi feature is enabled (as indicated by the virtual button 706) and Bluetooth is also enabled (as indicated by the virtual button 707). In addition, the Bluetooth symbol 708 may be displayed in the status bar 710 and the Wi-Fi symbol 709 may be displayed in the status bar 710. This allows the instant sharing feature to be enabled or disabled without having the first electronic device log in to the associated device account.

In this embodiment of the present application, after the immediate sharing feature is enabled, the first electronic device 101 is an image (eg, a photo or video taken by the user using the front / rear camera, or specified by the user. The first electronic device 101 may determine whether or not the display screen of the second electronic device 103 is on when the screen shot obtained by performing the operation is captured. When the display screen of the second electronic device 103 is determined to be on, the first electronic device 101 transfers the captured image to the second electronic device via a wireless link (such as a Bluetooth link or a Wi-Fi link). It is transmitted to 103. The first electronic device does not have to transmit an image to the second electronic device 103 when it is determined that the display screen of the second electronic device 103 is off. The specific method for the first electronic device 101 to determine whether or not the display screen of the second electronic device 103 is on is whether or not the screen is off, the memory capacity, and the device hardware / software version information. The second electronic device 103 may actively feed back the current device state information such as the above to the first electronic device 101. The first electronic device 101 then determines whether or not the display screen of the second electronic device 103 is on, based on the device state information fed back by the second electronic device 103. In some other embodiments of the present application, a method for the first electronic device 101 to determine whether or not the display screen of the second electronic device 103 is on is instead transmitted by a cloud server. The message may be used to determine whether the display screen of the second electronic device 103 is on or not. For example, since the first electronic device 101 and the second electronic device 103 are logged in to the same device account, the cloud server can display the display screen information of the two electronic devices (whether or not the screen is off and the size, etc.). It can collect some device information such as memory capacity and device hardware / software version information. The first electronic device 101 may request the cloud server to execute a query and return information about the display screen of the second electronic device 103. The cloud server executes the query and returns the message to the first electronic device 101. Thereby, the first electronic device 101 can determine whether or not the display screen of the second electronic device 103 is on, and whether or not to transmit the image to the second electronic device 103. In the present embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device 101 transmits the captured image to the second electronic device 103 only when the display screen of the second electronic device 103 is on. In some other embodiments of the present application, if a user is watching a video, typing text, or performing another operation on an electronic device with a screen turned on, someone has an image. A notification appears in the notification bar indicating that you are trying to share. Only when the user clicks on this notification can the image be displayed on the display screen of the electronic device.

In the embodiment, the operation of the first electronic device 101 to determine whether or not the display screen of the second electronic device 103 is on is, instead, the first operation after Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is enabled. This may be done before the electronic device 101 captures the image. This allows immediate sharing to occur faster and more efficiently after the user has taken the picture.

In another embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device 101 instead has the display screen of the second electronic device 103 turned on so that the second electronic device 103 stores the image quickly and without delay. It should be understood that the image may be transmitted to the second electronic device 103 after capturing the image without determining. In addition, in the present embodiment, after the image is transmitted to the second electronic device 103, the second electronic device 103 may perform different processing on the image based on the state of the second electronic device 103. For example, the second electronic device 103 may store the image in memory when it determines that the display screen is not on, and then display the image on the display screen when the display screen is on. As another example, after receiving the image, the second electronic device 103 first determines whether or not the display screen is on, and if the display screen of the second electronic device 103 is on, it is displayed on the display screen. If you want to view the image or the display screen is not on, you may skip saving the image.

In some other embodiments of the present application, after the immediate sharing feature is enabled, the first electronic device 101 is an image (eg, a photo or video taken by the user using a front / rear camera, or a video). When the user captures a screenshot (taken by performing a specific operation), the first electronic device 101 first logs in to the device account to which the second electronic device 103 is logged in, and the first electronic device 101 logs in. You may decide if it is the same as your device account. Only when it is determined that the device account to which the second electronic device 103 is logged in is the same as the device account to which the first electronic device 101 is logged in, can the picture or video on the first electronic device be wireless. It can be immediately shared with the second electronic device 103 using a link (such as a Bluetooth link or a Wi-Fi link). This guarantees the accuracy of picture / video sharing, which further guarantees the privacy and security of the data on the first electronic device 101. Specifically, the first electronic device 101 determines that the device account on the second electronic device is the same as the device account on the first electronic device after establishing the Bluetooth connection with the second electronic device 103. You can. The first electronic device activates (or turns on) the immediate sharing feature if it determines that the second electronic device and the device accounts on the first electronic device are the same. As a result, after capturing the image, the first electronic device 101 transmits the captured image to the second electronic device 103 via the wireless link without prompting the user.

In some other embodiments of the present application, after the immediate sharing feature is enabled, the first electronic device 101 is an image (eg, a photo or video taken by the user using a front / rear camera, or a video or video). The first electronic device 101 may determine whether or not the display screen of the second electronic device 103 is on when the user captures a screenshot) taken by performing a specific operation, and further. , It may be determined whether or not the device account to which the second electronic device 103 is logged in is the same as the device account to which the first electronic device 101 is logged in. When the display screen of the second electronic device 103 is on and the device account to which the second electronic device 103 is logged in is the same as the device account to which the first electronic device 101 is logged in, the first electronic device 101 When determined, the first electronic device 101 transmits the captured image to the second electronic device 103 with the display screen turned on via a wireless link. The above-mentioned solutions can guarantee the accuracy of sharing images (pictures, moving images, etc.), which further guarantees the privacy and security of the data on the first electronic device. The technical solution in this embodiment may be applied to the following scenarios.

Scenario 1: A user has two electronic devices, such as a mobile phone and a portable computer, that log in to the same device account. Mobile phones and portable computers establish a Bluetooth link with Bluetooth and establish a Wi-Fi link with the same Wi-Fi wireless access point. In this case, the user may be at home, in the office, or in a coffee shop. The user is writing an article about his impressions of "Prince of the Stars" on a portable computer, and now he needs to add a picture as an illustration to the article. Therefore, the user takes a picture using the mobile phone, and the picture is immediately displayed on the display screen of the portable computer. This allows the user to view the photo on the display screen of the portable computer at about the same time and immediately edit or perform other processing on the photo. In some other embodiments of the present application, the photograph may be displayed at a particular location on the display screen. For example, the photo can be inserted at a specific position in the article as shown in FIG. In FIG. 12, some content 1201 (text, multimedia, etc.) of the impression is displayed on the display screen of the portable computer before the user takes a picture with the mobile phone. After the user takes a picture using the mobile phone, the picture 1202 is immediately transmitted to the portable computer. Symbol 1203 in FIG. 12 shows specific details of the article displayed on the display screen of the portable computer. Photo 1202 can be inserted and displayed in the current article on a portable computer and a photo description can be automatically added below the photo (eg, "Illustration" or "Photo from user's mobile phone". A similar description will be added). In addition, the typesetting of the article is changed by inserting the photo into the article. Portable computers can automatically typeset and display articles based on the size and shape of the photo. As a result, the performance of the intellectual dialogue of the electronic device is greatly improved, and the document processing efficiency of the user is improved.

In some other embodiments of the application, after a document (such as a WORD document) has been edited, the portable computer may automatically send the edited document to the user's mobile phone over a wireless link. Frequently, or after editing is complete, the user may be asked if the document should be sent to the mobile phone and asked for confirmation by the user. According to the above-mentioned solution, the user can handle one thing through the cooperation of a plurality of different electronic devices. This increases the processing efficiency of the electronic device.

Scenario 2: Multiple (two or more) electronic devices (mobile phones, tablet computers, portable computers, etc.) are all at home. For example, electronic device A is in the bedroom, electronic device B is in the living room, and electronic device C is in the kitchen, but these electronic devices are in close proximity to each other. Electronic devices A, B, and C are logged in to the same device account. That is, these electronic devices are different electronic devices owned by the same user. In addition, all of these electronic devices establish a wireless connection to the same Wi-Fi wireless access point. That is, these plurality of electronic devices can form a wireless local area network using a Wi-Fi wireless access point. In this scenario, the immediate sharing feature is enabled on electronic device A. When the user captures an image using the camera of the electronic device A, the image may be transmitted to the electronic device B whose screen is on via a Wi-Fi link, and the image is the screen of the electronic device B. Immediately displayed above. However, since the screen of the electronic device C is off, the image is not transmitted to the electronic device C. Electronic device B with the screen on indicates that electronic device B is being used by a user's family or friends, and electronic device C with the screen off indicates that the electronic device is not currently in use by anyone. Is shown. Therefore, the electronic device A transmits the captured image to the electronic device B whose screen is on. This allows the user to immediately share the captured image (such as a photo or video) with family / friends, thereby improving the user experience.

In connection with the above embodiments, in some other embodiments of the present application, after the immediate sharing feature is enabled, the first electronic device is further between the other electronic device and the first electronic device. Images with different sizes and resolutions may be transmitted to other electronic devices based on the distance. The first electronic device uses a method based on, for example, the detection intensity of the Bluetooth signal of the other electronic device, or a method based on the strength of the Wi-Fi signal of the other electronic device, and the first electron with the other electronic device. The distance to the device may be determined. It should be understood that the distance between the other electronic device and the first electronic device may optionally be determined using another method different from that described above. This is not limited to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8A, the electronic device a is the first electronic device 101 to which the immediate sharing function is enabled, and all the electronic devices a to d are connected to the same Wi-Fi wireless access point. Suppose. The electronic device a may determine the distance between the other electronic devices b, c, and d and the electronic device a using the method described above. From FIG. 8A, it can be seen that the electronic device b is the closest to the electronic device a, the electronic device c is the second closest to the electronic device a, and the electronic device d is the farthest from the electronic device a. Then, after the electronic device a captures the image 802 using the camera, the image may be transmitted to another electronic device via the Wi-Fi link. Specifically, since the electronic device b is closest to the electronic device a, the electronic device a can transmit the captured image to the electronic device b in its original size. In this case, the screen of the electronic device b may be on and the image may be displayed on the screen. As shown in FIG. 8B, the image 802 is displayed on the screen of the electronic device b. The electronic device d is the furthest from the electronic device a, and the screen of the electronic device d is off. In this case, the electronic device a does not have to transmit the image to the electronic device d. The electronic device a may transmit a low resolution image 803 to the electronic device c based on the distance between the electronic device c and the electronic device a, and the image is immediately displayed on the screen of the electronic device c. To. According to the method of the present embodiment, the electronic device farther from the electronic device a indicates that the size of the transmitted picture is smaller and the resolution is lower. The smaller distance between another electronic device and the electronic device a means that the intimacy between the user of the electronic device and the user of the electronic device a is higher, and a higher resolution picture is transmitted by the electronic device. It may be shown that it can be done. According to the above-mentioned immediate sharing method, image sharing between electronic devices can be made more intelligent, which improves sharing efficiency and further improves the user experience.

In some other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device a may sequentially transmit images to other electronic devices based on different distances. For example, the electronic device a may first transmit the captured image to the electronic device b closest to the electronic device a, and finally transmit the image to the electronic device d farthest from the electronic device a. This has the advantage that the number of network resources consumed at the same moment is reduced for the Wi-Fi local area network. In addition, the intimacy between the user of the electronic device b closest to the electronic device a and the user of the electronic device a is the highest. Therefore, the electronic device b can acquire the image transmitted by the electronic device a most quickly, whereby the electronic device b can acquire the image captured by the electronic device a in a timely and rapid manner. Can be guaranteed. In some other embodiments of the present application, if the relative distance between the electronic device and the electronic device a changes (ie, the position of the electronic device changes), the electronic device a is based on the new distance. , You may decide how to transmit the image.

As shown in FIG. 9, the first electronic device 101 (which may be electronic device a, electronic device A, or the like) transmits the captured image 901 via the wireless link 910 to the second electronic device 103 (electronic device b, etc.). Alternatively, it may be transmitted to an electronic device B or the like), and the image 901 is displayed on the display screen of the second electronic device 103. In FIG. 9, the image 901 transmitted from the first electronic device 101 is displayed on the display screen of the second electronic device 103. The image may be displayed on the display screen in a floating manner, and some common virtual buttons such as edit 902, save 903, and cancel 904 for manipulating the image may be displayed below the image. .. In "editing", after the second electronic device accepts the user's touch operation on the virtual button 902, the user edits (colors) the image 901 transmitted by the first electronic device in response to the touch operation. Indicates that the editing-related GUI may be displayed so that correction or cutting can be performed. In "save", after the second electronic device 103 receives the user's touch operation on the virtual button 903, in response to the touch operation, the image 901 transmitted by the first electronic device 101 is stored in the second electronic device 101. Indicates that it may be saved in the memory of. It should be understood that the memory may be a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory. "Cancel" means that after the second electronic device 103 accepts the user's touch operation on the virtual button 904, the image 901 immediately shared by the first electronic device 101 is not saved in response to the touch operation. It often indicates that the display of the image 901 on the display screen is stopped. In some other embodiments of the present application, the display orientation of the image may adapt to the size of the display screen of the second electronic device 103. In FIG. 9, the length direction of the displayed image 901 is the same as the width direction of the display screen of the second electronic device 103 (assuming that both directions are the Y directions in the plane coordinate system). Therefore, regarding the display method, the image 901 cannot be adapted to the display screen of the second electronic device 103. As shown in FIG. 10A, the image 1001 transmitted by the first electronic device 101 is displayed on the second electronic device 103, and the length direction of the image 1001 is the length direction of the display screen of the second electronic device 103. It is the same (assuming that both directions are the Y direction in the plane coordinate system). As a result, the display direction of the image 1001 is better adapted to the display screen of the second electronic device 103.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 10A, the image 1001 transmitted by Wi-Fi by the first electronic device 101 is displayed on the display screen of the second electronic device 103, and the image 1001 is floating. It may be displayed on the display screen in a manner. If the second electronic device 103 does not accept the user's touch operation on the display screen (or in the vicinity thereof) within a preset time (for example, within 5 seconds), after the lapse of the preset time, until then. The display of the displayed image 1001 on the display screen is stopped. That is, the image is not stored in the cache. In some other embodiments, the prompt box may be further displayed on the display screen of the second electronic device 103 when the image 1001 is displayed. For example, a prompt box 1002 may be further displayed stating, "This is an image from the first electronic device. If there is no operation within 5 seconds, this image will stop displaying and will not be saved locally." The prompt box 1002 may notify the user of the electronic device that transmitted the image, or may notify the user of the consequences of not performing the operation within a preset time.

When the second electronic device 103 receives the user's touch operation on the display screen (or in the vicinity thereof) within a preset time, the image 1001 that has been displayed up to that point is continuously displayed on the display screen. This indicates that the image is stored in the cache of the second electronic device 103. The touch operation may be a touch operation of the user's finger 1003 at an arbitrary position on the display screen, or the touch operation is a touch operation of the user's finger 1003 with respect to the image 1001, that is, the position of the image 1001. The user's finger 1003 may touch the position to be used. As shown in FIG. 10B, the second electronic device 103 may further display two virtual buttons, edit 1004 and save 1005, on the display screen in response to the touch operation.
