Description

PAGE TURNING METHOD AND MOBILE DEVICE

FIELD OF THE TECHNOLOGY

The present disclosure relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to a page turning method and a mobile device.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

In the prior art, when a user browses webpage information by using a desktop computer, a notebook computer or the like, common page turning controls are shown in FIG. 1. There are mainly three page turning manners: In a first manner, page turning buttons such as a "Next" button and a "Back" button shown in FIG. 1 are used. In a second manner, page number buttons such as "1" and "2" are used for fast location. In a third manner, a page navigation manner is adopted； for example, "1" is input in a navigational input box in FIG. 1 to go to Page 1. When the user needs to turn a page, the user can turn a page by directly using a keyboard, a mouse, a graphics tablet or speech input.

In the era of the mobile Internet, a page turning manner in the use of a mobile device by a user is still the same as a page turning manner in the use of a desktop computer and a notebook computer, in both of which a click manner (use of a mouse is replaced with use of a finger) is used to trigger a related page number button or a page turning button on an interface.

Despite continued use in a current mobile device, such a page turning manner implemented on a desktop computer and a notebook computer is not fully applicable to a mobile device. A mobile device usually has a screen smaller than that of a desktop computer or a notebook computer, and a size of a screen cannot be too large for portability of a mobile device. Meanwhile, a human finger touches a relatively large area and is not very precise. Therefore, if buttons on a mobile device have a relatively small interval, an incorrect page turning behavior on the mobile device is caused. That is, in an existing page turning manner, an incorrect operation occurs easily during a page turning operation of a user, resulting in that a mobile device incorrectly opens a page that the user does not need to browse.

SUMMARY

To solve the foregoing technical problems, embodiments of the present disclosure provide technical solutions as follows:

According to a first aspect, provided in an embodiment of the present disclosures a page turning method, including:

detecting a slide operation of sliding a slide button on a display screen；

displaying, on the display screen, each page number separately pointed by the slide operation sliding the slide button；

acquiring, when the slide operation meets a preset location condition, a target page number pointed by the slide operation； and

loading, on the display screen, a page corresponding to the target page number.

According to a second aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a mobile device, including:

a slide detection module, configured to detect a slide operation of sliding a slide button on a display screen；

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a page turning method and a mobile device, so as to implement a precise page turning operation, and avoid an incorrect operation on a mobile device having a small screen.

To make the inventive objectives, features, and advantages in the present disclosure clearer and more comprehensible, the following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the embodiments described below are some of the embodiments of the present disclosure rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

The terms "include" , "comprise" , and any variants thereof in the specification and claims and the foregoing drawings of the present disclosure are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of units is not necessarily limited to those units, but may include other units not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or device.

Separate detailed description is provided below.

A page turning method in an embodiment of the present disclosure is specifically applicable to a mobile device. The method may include the following steps: detecting a slide operation of sliding a slide button on a display screen； displaying, on the display screen, each page number separately pointed by the slide operation sliding the slide button； acquiring, when the slide operation meets a preset location condition, a target page number pointed by the slide operation； and loading, on the display screen, a page corresponding to the target page number.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 shows a page turning method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may include the following steps:

201: Detect a slide operation of sliding a slide button on a display screen.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a mobile device has high portability, but has an inevitable problem that a display screen of a mobile device has a relatively small size. Therefore, the display screen is not suitable to place too much content. If a user browses a webpage by using the mobile device, when the webpage has a large amount of content, a page turning operation is usually executed. For example, many pages are involved when a user browses posts on a forum by using a mobile device, and multiple pages are usually divided for display. According to an existing page turning manner, page turning buttons, a page number button of each page number, and a navigational input box are usually presented on a display screen. For a relatively small screen of a mobile device, if too much content is placed on a display screen, an incorrect operation of a user occurs very easily. For example, when page number buttons of 10 page numbers "1" , "2" , "3" , ..., and "10" are displayed on a display screen, the page number buttons have a very small interval. Meanwhile, an area that a human finger directly touches is much larger than that of each page button, and an incorrect operation of a user occurs very easily.

Although nowadays the mobile Internet is in the middle of a high-speed development phase, limitations of network bandwidth still exist, and a network speed confines an operational habit of a user to a great degree. Therefore, for a page turning behavior that loads page information, because it needs to take a period of time to load a page, the page turning behavior has a fairly high operation cost for a user. Therefore, if a user opens a page incorrectly because of an incorrect operation during a page turning operation, at this time the incorrect operation affects continued use of the user. To reduce incorrect operations of a user and improve a degree of precision of a page turning operation, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, multiple buttons and input boxes on a display screen are reduced greatly, and only one slide button is set on a display screen to meet a page turning operation of a user, so that after a page is loaded and refreshed again, a page that the user expects is presented as much as possible, thereby meeting various page turning needs of the user.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, only a slide button is set on a display screen of a mobile device, and when a user slides the slide button on the display screen, the mobile device may detect a slide operation generated because the user slides the slide button. The slide operation is operational content detected after the mobile device parses a touch operation of the user on the display screen. For example, the slide operation is a drawing behavior after a human finger holds the slide button. For example, when a user uses a mobile device, a slide button is displayed to the user on a display screen, and the user may click the slide button to slide the slide button, so as to generate a slide operation, or may also continuously draw the slide button to generate a slide operation. Because only one button (that is, the slide button in the embodiment of the present disclosure) is set on the display screen of the mobile device, the user may operate the slide button when needing to turn a page, thereby avoiding multiple incorrect operations that occur very easily because of a relatively small interval when multiple buttons exist on a display screen.

It should be noted that in some embodiments of the present disclosure, before step 201 of detecting a slide operation of sliding a slide button on a display screen, the following step may further be included: activating a slide function a slide area on the display screen. For example, a mobile device may trigger and activate a slide function by using a long press behavior of a user in a slide area. Specifically, the time of the long press may usually be 0.8 second to 1 second, and a triggering area may be located at the bottom of the display screen. The bottom is not a regular activity area, and triggering of a slide function in this area is a purposeful operation, so that an incorrect operation does not occur easily.

That is, when a mobile device does not need to execute a page turning operation for a user, a slide button may stay ineffective. When the mobile device detects that webpage content displayed on a display screen needs page turning by a user, a slide function is then activated in a slide area on the display screen. An operation on the slide button by the user is effectively only after the slide function is activated. For a relatively small screen of a current mobile device, when a page turning operation does not need to be executed for a user, a slide function corresponding to a slide button may be hidden, so as to avoid occupation of an originally insufficient display surface of a display screen, and for a user, the use has more desirable effect of experience.

202: Display, on the display screen, each page number separately pointed by the slide operation sliding the slide button.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when a user slides the slide button on the display screen, a mobile device may detect a series of slide operations. The mobile device displays, on the display screen, each page number separately pointed by the slide operation sliding the slide button, so that the mobile device may present to the user all page numbers that can be turned to. By means of each page number displayed on the display screen, the user may learn of all page numbers that may be browsed. For example, when a user browses posts of a forum by using a mobile device, the mobile device displays, on a display screen, one slide button to the user, and the mobile device may detect a slide operation as long as the user slides the slide button. With the continuous slide on the slide button by the user, the mobile device may detect a series of slide operations. Every time when one slide operation is detected, the mobile device displays, on the display screen to the user, the page number pointed by the slide operation. The user may decide, by means of multiple page numbers presented on the display screen, to continue browsing a page corresponding to a page number. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is not necessary for a human finger to touch multiple buttons having a very small interval, thereby avoiding an incorrect operation.

For example, referring to FIG. 3-a, FIG. 3-ais a schematic diagram of an implementation manner of displaying a slide button to a user on a display screen of a mobile device in an embodiment of the present disclosure. An area is divided from the display screen of the mobile device for use as a slide area. In the slide area, one slide button is displayed to the user, instead of setting of multiple buttons as described in the prior art. The user may slide the slide button by using a finger or a stylus. As the user slides the slide button in the slide area, the mobile device may detect a slide operation. Also, an area is further divided from the display screen for use as a page number area to display a page number pointed by the slide operation detected by the mobile device. As the user continuously slides the slide button in the slide area, the mobile device detects multiple slide operations, in which each slide operation points to a page number for the user to select whether to continue browsing a page corresponding to the page number. Page numbers separately pointed by multiple slide operations may be displayed in the page number area. In addition, when the page numbers are displayed in the page number area, the multiple page numbers may be displayed in a row, or the page numbers may also be displayed in the page number area in an alternate manner. For example, a mobile device detects three slide operations, and the three slide operations separately point to page numbers "1" , "2" , and "3" . The page number "1" may be displayed first, and when a next slide operation is detected then, the page number "2" is used to replace the page number "1" .

It should be noted that in some embodiments of the present disclosure, by using FIG. 3-aas an example, when the mobile device does not need to execute a page turning operation for a user, the slide button may be ineffective, and the slide area, the page number area, and the slide button may all be hidden. When the mobile device detects that webpage content displayed on a display screen needs page turning by a user, a slide function is activated in a slide area on the display screen. An operation on the slide button by the user is effective only after the slide function is activated.

In addition, it should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the slide button displayed on the display screen to a user is slid, the slide button may be slid in any manner according to a need of the user. The mobile device may display, on the display screen to the user, page numbers separately pointed by multiple slide operations. For example, the user may slide the slide button at will on the display screen. Referring to FIG. 3-b, FIG. 3-b is a schematic diagram of an implementation manner of a slide trajectory generated after the slide button on the display screen of the mobile device is slid in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The slide trajectory formed after the slide button is slid is shown in the slide area, and the slide trajectory is a trajectory formed after a user continuously slides the slide button.

For another example, in some other embodiments of the present disclosure, to make it convenient for a user to operate a slide button, furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3-c, FIG. 3-c is a schematic diagram of an implementation manner of setting a slide bar on the display screen of the mobile device in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The mobile device may set one slide bar in a slide area. The slide button is set on the slide bar, and when being operated by a user, the slide button may slide along the slide bar. If the slide bar is set to be a horizontal bar, the slide button may slide left and right along the slide bar. If the slide bar set is a vertical bar, the slide button may slide up and down along the slide bar. Therefore, step 201 of detecting a slide operation of sliding a slide button on a display screen in the foregoing may further specifically be: detecting the slide operation of sliding the slide button on the slide bar on the display screen.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, after step 202 of displaying, on the display screen, each page number separately pointed by the slide operation sliding the slide button, the following step is further included: displaying page preview information corresponding to each page number on the display screen, in which page preview information is a thumbnail view of a target page, and all information in the target page may be previewed and is displayed on the display screen by using a thumbnail view. That is, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, after displaying a page number on the display screen, the mobile device may further display page preview information corresponding to the displayed page number, so as to make it convenient for a user to select a page to continue browsing. After a page number is displayed, the mobile device may further load, in a preview form, a page where the slide button is currently at, and the user may determine, by using the page preview information, whether a page number pointed by a current slide operation is a target page number that the user needs.

In some other embodiments of the present disclosure, the displaying, when each page number is displayed in a first display area on the display screen, page preview information corresponding to each page number on the display screen is specifically: displaying the page preview information corresponding to each page number in a second display area on the display screen, where the second display area has an area larger than that of the first display area. That is, the first display area for displaying each page number is smaller than the second display area for displaying the page preview information corresponding to each page number. Therefore, after a page number is displayed in the first display area, the first display area may be enlarged to be the second display area, and the page preview information is then displayed in the second display area. Furthermore, to make it convenient for a user to browse the page preview information in a more desirable manner, the first display area and/or the second display area may cover a current partial page of the display screen. In this way, the user may browse more directly each page number and corresponding page preview information displayed on the display screen.

203: Acquire, when the slide operation meets a preset location condition, a target page number pointed by the slide operation.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by means of each page number displayed on the display screen, a user may decide, according to a need of the user, to continue browsing a page corresponding to a page number. The user may indicate, to the mobile device by sliding the slide button, a target page number decided by the user to continue browsing. When detecting a slide operation, the mobile device may parse the slide operation and determine which slide operation can meet a preset location condition, so that the mobile device may acquire a target page number pointed by a slide operation that meets the location condition. It should be noted that the preset location condition may be specified by the user, or may also be generated by the mobile device according to a use habit of the user, or may further be recommended to the user by the mobile device according to a use habit of the user. The user determine one of multiple recommended solutions as the location condition, and the mobile device may determine a detected slide operation by using the determined location condition, so as to acquire a target page number corresponding to the slide operation. The target page number is a page number corresponding to a page that the user wants to continue browsing.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the location condition may be implemented in various manners, which are described below by using examples. Furthermore, the location condition may be: detecting that the slide button slid by the slide operation is released； or, detecting that an operation direction of the slide operation is a specific direction； or, detecting that the slide button slid by the slide operation stays at a specific location in a slide area on the display screen. For example, the mobile device detects that the slide button is released when a user slides the slide button. That is, when the user slides the slide button, the mobile device displays, on the display screen to the user, page numbers corresponding to multiple slide operations, and the user determines, from the page numbers, which page number is the page number that the user needs to continue to turn to. When the page number that the user needs to continue to turn to is displayed on the display screen, the user may release the slide button. That is, the user releases the slide at this time. When detecting that the slide button operated by the slide operation is released, the mobile device determines that the slide operation at this time meets the location condition, and acquires that a page number pointed by the slide operation at this time is the target page number. For another example, when sliding the slide button on the display screen, a user slides the slide button in a specific direction (for example, the specific direction is up) , and the mobile device may determine, by using a detected slide operation, that an operation direction of the slide operation is up. In this case, the mobile device determines that the slide operation at this time meets the location condition, and acquires that the page number pointed by the slide operation at this time is the target page number. For another example, the mobile device may determine a specific location in the slide area on the display screen, and a user knows the specific location in advance. When the user slides the slide button, if the slide button is slid to this specific location, in this case, the mobile device determines that the slide operation at this time meets the location condition, and acquires that a page number pointed by the slide operation at this time is the target page number. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the location condition may further be set in other manners, as long as in an implementation manner, a user may learn how to operate a slide button and at the same time a mobile device may detect operational content of a slide operation, because the location condition is set to enable the mobile device to learn of a page corresponding to a page number that a user wants to continue browsing.

204: Load, on the display screen, a page corresponding to the target page number.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after acquiring the target page number corresponding to the slide operation, the mobile device may acquire, according to the target page number, the page corresponding to the target page number, and then load the page corresponding to the target page number on the display screen, so that the user may browse, on the display screen, the page that the user needs to browse. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the loading the page corresponding to the target page number may also be understood as refreshing and loading the page corresponding to the target page number. That is, after the mobile device acquires the page corresponding to the target page number, the display screen jumps to the page corresponding to the target page number. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when a page corresponding to the target page number is loaded on the display screen, a current page on the display screen may also be directly replaced with the page corresponding to the target page number.

Specifically, that the mobile device loads, on the display screen, a page corresponding to the target page number may specifically be that: after acquiring the target page number, the mobile device may acquire, from a local cache according to the target page number, the page corresponding to the target page number, and then load the page on the display screen, or may also acquire, according to the target page number, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address corresponding to the target page number, and initiate a page download request to a server according to the URL address, so as to receive page content sent by the server and finally load the page on the display screen.

It can be known from the description of the above embodiment of the present disclosure that a user slides a slide button on a display screen, and a mobile device first detects a slide operation generated as the slide button on the display screen is slid, then displays, on the display screen, each page number separately pointed by the slide operation sliding the slide button, accordingly presents, to the user, all page numbers that can be turned to, acquires, when the slide operation on the display screen meets a preset location condition, a target page number pointed by the slide operation, and finally loads, on the display screen, a page corresponding to the target page number. Because each page number may be displayed as a user slides a slide button by using a slide operation, when a page number pointed by the slide operation is a page number that the user needs to browse, it may be determined that the slide operation meets a preset location condition, so as to precisely acquire a target page number without needing to use a human finger to directly touch a page number button and a page turning button on a display screen, and therefore, even though a size of a display screen is relatively small, an incorrect operation on a page number may also besuccessfully avoided.

To make it more convenient to understand and implement the foregoing solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure, corresponding application scenarios may be used in the following for specific description. An example in which the mobile device is specifically a mobile phone is used, and in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the mobile phone executes a page turning method, which may include the following steps:

S01: Referring to FIG. 4-a, FIG. 4-ais a schematic diagram of an implementation manner of activating a slide function on a display screen of a mobile phone in an embodiment of the present disclosure. A forum page displayed on the display screen on the mobile phone is used as an example, and one slide area may be selected at the lower part of the display screen. As shown in FIG. 4-a, an area on the right of "Forum Pages" is the slide area, and a user may long press the slide area on the display screen to activate the slide function. A slide button and a slide bar are set in the slide area, and the slide button is set on the slide bar. The forum has 12 pages in total, and according to an implementation manner in the prior art, 12 page number buttons are set on a display screen. Because a screen is relatively small, an incorrect operation of a user occurs easily. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, only one slide button is set, and a page number area is provided below the slide bar, in which only page numbers "01" , "06" , and "12" are roughly displayed. The slide button is slid on the slide bar to display all page numbers, and reference may be made to subsequent description of the drawings for details.

S02: After the slide function is activated, the user may slide the slide button, and the mobile phone may detect in real time a slide operation of sliding the slide button on the display screen. Each page number separately pointed by the slide operation is displayed on the display screen when the slide button is slid. Referring to FIG. 4-b, FIG. 4-b is a schematic diagram of an implementation manner of displaying each page number separately pointed by a slide operation on the mobile phone of the display screen in the embodiment of the present disclosure. In a first display area in FIG. 4-b, page numbers "1" , "2" , "3" , "4", and "5" that may be turned to are displayed, "Preview Loading" is prompted to the user in the first display area, and the mobile phone acquires page preview information corresponding to the page number "3" .

S03: After a preview loading area has been loaded, the page preview information corresponding to the page number "3" is displayed in a second display area on the display screen. Referring to FIG. 4-c, FIG. 4-c is a schematic diagram of an implementation manner of displaying page preview information on the mobile phone of the display screen in the embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4-c, the second display area is a preview area for displaying page preview information, and the preview area is enlarged and covers a current partial page of the display screen, so that the user can clearly see the content in the preview area.

S04: When the user releases the slide button, the mobile phone detects that the slide operation is releasing the slide button, that is, a location condition is met. The mobile phone may acquire a target page number corresponding to the slide operation at this time, and then immediately refresh a current page and load a page corresponding to the target page number, so as to complete a page turning operation. Referring to FIG. 4-d, FIG. 4-d is a schematic diagram of an implementation manner of displaying a page corresponding to a target page number on the mobile phone of the display screen in the embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 4-d, an example in which the acquired target page number is "3" is used for description.

By means of the above description, it may be understood that a more flexible and comfortable interaction manner is adopted in the page turning method provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure, so that a problem of an incorrect operation that may occur on a handheld mobile device may be desirably avoided, and at the same time a related preview interface may be considerately provided to a user to make it more convenient for a user to perform a related operation, thereby greatly improving experience of net surfing on the mobile Internet, and eventually improving the pleasure of using a product.

In conclusion, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a page turning manner on a handheld mobile device is changed into slide page turning for a user. Compared with a click operation, a slide operation provides more natural and smoother experience on a handheld mobile device. During a slide operation of a user, by means of a damping effect, a corresponding page number can be matched according to a speed of a slide of the user, and in a state that the user continuously presses a slide button, related page preview information is presented to the user, so as to make it more desirable for the user to locate related information and enable an operation of the user to better meet anticipation of the user. After seeing a page that the user determines to go to, the user releases the slide button to implement refreshing and loading of a target page.

It should be noted that the foregoing method embodiments are illustrated as a series of action combinations for ease of description； however, a person skilled in the art should know that the present disclosure is not limited to the described order of actions, because based on the present disclosure, some steps may be performed in another order or at the same time.
