Description

Method and device for adjusting display orientation of image

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a method and apparatus for adjusting the display orientation of an image.

Background technique

With the development of technology, there are more and more terminals with gravity sensing, such as smart phones and smart watches. Take smart watches as an example. At present, smart watches not only provide time, but also provide many other functions, such as answering calls, alarm clocks, etc. However, the dial display direction is fixed. When the user watches the watch, because the watch is worn on the hand, the arm needs to be adjusted so that the dial display direction can be better for people to watch, and this requires the arm to maintain a posture all the time. Long will cause soreness. When the opposite person is watching, since the watch is fixed on the arm, the dial is opposite to the other person and is not convenient for viewing. In order to facilitate the viewing of others, the wearer needs to adjust the arm and the viewer needs to be sideways. At the same time, when the user wears the watch in a different arm (left-handed or right-handed), in order to make it convenient to watch, it is necessary to adjust the wearing direction of the watch, which will cause the power button to face inward or outward. Changes in the position of the power button can cause some inconvenience to people with different habits. When the watch is removed for viewing, it needs to be erected for viewing, and sometimes when viewed on a tabletop, it is best to use the strap as a support to stand horizontally.

detailed description

The invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

It is to be understood that the terms "first", "second" and the like in the specification and claims of the present invention are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or order.

In this embodiment, a method for adjusting the display orientation of an image is provided. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for adjusting the display orientation of an image according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the flow includes the following steps:

Step S102, receiving a pressure signal pressing the terminal;

Step S104, adjusting the display orientation of the image on the display interface of the terminal according to the received pressure signal.

The executor of the action in the above embodiment may be a terminal (for example, a smart watch or a mobile phone).

The following is an example in which the terminal is a smart watch and the image is a dial on a smart watch. When viewing the dial of the smart watch, it is necessary to realize a 360-degree rotation of the dial image, and a way to realize the rotation of the watch dial is in the watch. The gravity sensor is set, but the watch is worn on the hand. Generally, the watch is lying on the arm when viewing. Therefore, it is not feasible to use the gravity sensor to adjust the display direction of the dial on the watch.

Through the above steps, the display orientation of the image on the display interface of the terminal can be flexibly adjusted according to the received pressure signal of the pressing terminal, which solves the problem that the terminal adopts a fixed image display direction or a single adjustment mode in the related art. The user can view the technical problem of the inconvenience of the terminal, and the display direction of the image on the terminal interface can be improved at any time without changing the appearance of the terminal, thereby improving the user experience.

When the display orientation of the image on the terminal display interface is adjusted according to the received pressure signal in step S104, when the terminal receives the pressing signal due to the user's accidental operation, the display orientation of the image on the terminal display interface is adjusted. Unnecessary, the terminal power is consumed. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, in step S104, it may be determined whether the pressure value of the received pressure signal exceeds a first threshold and/or the pressing time exceeds a second threshold. In the case where the determination result is YES, the display orientation of the image is adjusted according to the received pressure signal. In the optional embodiment, by determining whether the received pressing signal satisfies a predetermined condition, such as a pressure value condition and/or a pressing time condition, unnecessary adjustment caused by user misoperation is effectively avoided, and the terminal can be saved. Consumption. In this alternative embodiment, the condition for pressing the signal is only one implementation, and the pressing signal can also be set to satisfy other conditions.

In an optional embodiment, adjusting the display orientation of the image on the terminal display interface according to the received pressure signal in step S104 may include: determining an indication orientation of the pressure signal indication; and adjusting the display orientation of the image to the indication orientation.

Determining the indication orientation of the pressure signal indication may be implemented in various manners. For example, the pressure value of the pressure signal may be preset to a corresponding relationship according to the adjustment angle, so that according to the magnitude of the pressure value of the received pressure signal, it may be determined that the inverse is required. Adjust the image display orientation in the terminal interface clockwise or clockwise. For example, the correspondence relationship between the pressing position of the pressure signal and the adjustment direction and the adjustment angle may be set in advance, so that the direction and angle to be adjusted can be determined according to the pressed position of the received pressure signal. In an optional embodiment, determining the indication orientation of the pressure signal indication may include: determining a pressing position of pressing the pressure signal; determining an orientation of the first ray formed by the origin and the pressing position with the center of the image in the terminal as an origin To indicate the orientation.

There are also various implementations for adjusting the display orientation of the image to the indicated orientation. In an alternative embodiment, the method may include: adjusting the orientation of the central axis of the preset image to the indicated orientation.

There are also various implementations for adjusting the orientation of the central axis of the pre-set image to the indicated orientation. In an alternative embodiment, the method may include: adjusting the positive direction of the central axis of the preset terminal display interface to the indicated orientation. In the optional embodiment, taking the smart watch as an example, the positive direction of the central axis may be a six o'clock direction, and the positive direction of the central axis of the preset terminal display interface is adjusted to indicate the orientation, thereby achieving The adjustment of the display orientation of the image on the interface improves the adjustment efficiency.

Hereinafter, a method and an apparatus for adjusting the display orientation of an image according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described by taking a terminal as a smart watch as an example.

The implementation of the apparatus for adjusting the display orientation of the image of the embodiment of the present invention includes two basic elements, one is a hardware module, and the other is a software system.

The hardware module, the pressure sensor, can recognize the pressing force of the user's hand or other things touching, and separates the pressure-sensitive operation from the ordinary light touch operation, and can transmit the event response of the hard pressing to the software. system.

For example, Apple currently uses force touch technology on iWatch, which uses a pressure-sensitive screen to change the current interaction of touch screens—touch and long press. Since the keys of the smart watch design are not as good as the mobile phone, there is no convenient mobile phone when interacting. The pressure sensing screen will bring a new convenient interaction mode to the user's interactive experience.

The software part is based on the method of adjusting the display orientation of the image, and includes the following steps:

Step 1. The trigger mechanism, the dial rotation of the smart watch requires a specific trigger mechanism, the trigger mechanism can avoid misoperation, and the operation is as simple and convenient as possible. Because we feel that the dial orientation is not suitable when watching, then we want to be able to adjust immediately, rather than entering a specific interface setting. You can press the screen hard with your finger (or something else). When the pressure sensor under the screen detects that the pressure is greater than a certain set value for a certain period of time (to prevent misoperation caused by the collision), the system will enter the adjustment dial display direction mode. Adjust a fixed point of the dial, such as the six o'clock direction, to where the current finger is pressed. When the finger touching the screen is relaxed until the pressure is less than a certain threshold, the system will exit the adjustment dial display direction mode.

Step 2: Adjust the display direction of the dial. When the device receives the event response that satisfies the trigger mechanism, that is, the pressure sensor detects that the pressure is greater than a certain set value for a certain period of time, the software system enters the dial adjustment mode. Adjust a fixed direction of the dial, such as the six o'clock direction, to where the current finger is pressed. The offset between the screen and the reference coordinates is adjusted by calculating the angle θ between the current finger touching the screen and the reference direction (such as the six o'clock direction). The fixed point of the dial (such as the six o'clock direction) is changed to the place where the current finger is pressed hard to adjust the display direction of the dial.

7 is a functional diagram of a hardware portion of an apparatus for adjusting an orientation of an image according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the hardware portion may be a pressure sensitive screen, and the pressure sensitive screen may include a touch position sensing module 72. The pressure magnitude sensing module 74 (the touch location sensing module 72 and the pressure magnitude sensing module 74 correspond to the receiving module 22 described above) and the information processing transmission module 76. The pressure sensing screen has the functions of touch position sensing and pressure sensing, and can transmit the sensed touch position and pressure to the motherboard and processor of the terminal for processing.

The pressure sensitive screen may be a sensor that can be pressed and pressed in the middle of the touch screen and the liquid crystal display (LCD). The signal of the sensor can be transmitted to the main board and the center of the smart device through the information transmission processing module. The processor performs processing, and the software side can receive the event response and coordinate information of the forced pressing.

The underlying system of the software monitors the pressure of the pressure sensor in real time. When the pressure is greater than a certain set value and remains for a period of time, and the touch screen can monitor the touch to meet the trigger response condition, the underlying software reports the event to the system. The system enters the dial to display the direction adjustment mode. 8 is a schematic diagram of calculation of an indication orientation of display orientation adjustment of an image according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the system starts to determine the angle of the current contact position A and the reference position B according to the touch position, and simultaneously according to the contact point. The coordinates are on the left or right side of the reference point to adjust the direction in which the dial displays the direction offset (offset to the left or to the right).

Next, the calculation of the contact point position and the reference point position angle will be described with reference to FIG.

In this embodiment, the coordinates of the center of the watch are O(X0, Y0), the coordinates of a contact point on the finger are A (X1, Y1), and the coordinates of the current contact point of the finger are B (X2, Y2). Then vector

Moving from point A to point B, the angle θ of rotation can be calculated from the product of the number of vectors:

After the angle θ of the rotation is obtained, it is necessary to rotate left or right from the point A, that is, which of the left and right directions of the point A is determined. When the abscissa of point A is smaller than the abscissa of the reference point B, that is, X1 < X2, that offset is shifted to the left; otherwise, it is shifted to the right. When the two are equal, X1=X2, which can be judged according to the ordinate of point A and the center point O, whether the angle is 0 degrees or 180 degrees. It is 180 degrees when Y1>Y0, and 0 degree when Y1<Y0. If you encounter an extreme situation, point A just coincides with point O. The dial will not be adjusted (this probability is very small, the average user will press at the edge of the dial) Pressure).

In the embodiment of the present invention, a pressure sensor is used to add an interaction mode without changing the appearance of the watch, so that the watch dial display direction can be adjusted at any time when the watch is watched, without adding other buttons or entering a specific The setting interface enhances the user experience.

It should be noted that the pressure sensing devices of the above embodiments and alternative embodiments may use a pressure sensitive screen, or other pressure sensing technologies such as infrared, bioelectric, and the like. The trigger mechanism, in addition to using a continuous press for a certain period of time and reaching a certain pressure value, can also use speech recognition, or a specific setting interface.

The embodiment of the invention provides a basic operation mode for pressing hard, and solves the problem that the arm needs to maintain a certain posture when the terminal is worn by the terminal such as the smart watch for a long time, which is easy to cause fatigue. At the same time, the display direction of the displayed image (such as the dial) can be adjusted in any interface and situation, no special hardware system is needed, as long as the machine supporting the pressure sensitive screen can be realized by software, the independence is strong, the cost is low, and the effect is obtained. it is good.
