An embodiment of the present invention provides an interface control method and device, which are used to enable a terminal device to automatically select an appropriate interface image according to a light intensity to perform drawing, thereby eliminating the user's cumbersome manual operation and performing interface control steps, which is convenient and time-saving. Thereby improving the user experience. The details are described below separately.

Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart diagram of an interface control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The interface control method shown in FIG. 1 may include the following steps:

101. The terminal device receives the first target operation. If the interface image needs to be drawn in response to the first target operation, it is determined whether the interface control function is enabled.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device may be various terminal devices having a display screen, including a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and a sales terminal (Point The embodiment of the present invention will not be repeated in the following.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device has the function setting of the interface control, and the user can select whether to open the interface control function according to the needs of the user. If the interface control function is enabled, the terminal device can automatically implement the interface according to the light intensity of the current environment. The image is selected and drawn.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the object controlled by the interface includes: at least one of a wallpaper, an application icon, a lock screen interface, a menu bar background, a navigation bar background, a dialog skin, and an input method skin displayed by the terminal device. Then, for different interface control objects, the corresponding first target operations are different. For example, if the interface control object is an input method skin, when the terminal device receives the pull input method command, and the input method keyboard image needs to be drawn in response to the command, the terminal device determines whether the interface control function has been turned on; if the interface control object For the wallpaper, when the terminal device receives the wake-up screen or returns the wallpaper interface instruction, the corresponding device needs to draw the wallpaper image, and the terminal device determines whether the interface control function has been turned on.

102. If yes, determine whether the current time is within the valid period.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the valid period is the night time of the current location. Since the natural light changes during the daytime, such as cloudy or cloudy weather, the light intensity of the natural environment where the terminal equipment is located changes very rapidly. Therefore, if the interface is controlled according to the light intensity during the daytime, it will cause switching. Too frequent problems affect the user experience and increase the power consumption of the terminal device. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the effective period is set to the night time of the current location of the terminal device, and at night, the light of the environment where the terminal device is located is mostly generated by an artificial light source, such as indoor lighting or outdoor street lights, etc. The intensity changes are infrequent, so the selected interface image can be determined according to the light intensity and the interface image can be drawn.

103. If yes, obtain the light intensity of the current environment of the terminal device through the hardware device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the foregoing hardware device for obtaining the light intensity of the current environment of the terminal device may be: an ambient light sensor, a camera, and an illuminance sensor, and the specific hardware device is used in the embodiment of the present invention.

104. Determine a first interface image according to the light intensity of the current environment.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first interface image is determined according to the light intensity of the current environment, and the first interface image is an interface image for subsequent drawing. Wherein, the stronger the light intensity of the current environment, the lighter the color depth of the first interface image, so the color of the interface image can correspond to the current light intensity, reducing the stimulation to the user's eyes, and if the user uses the terminal device for a long time. It is not easy to produce visual fatigue.

As an optional implementation manner, the terminal device is pre-configured with a light color interface image library and a dark color interface image library. If the current ambient light intensity exceeds a preset glare threshold, the terminal device selects a light color interface. The image library randomly selects a light-colored interface image as the first interface image; if the current ambient light intensity is lower than the preset low-light threshold, the terminal device randomly selects a dark color from the dark-based interface image library. The interface image of the system is used as the first interface image.

As another optional implementation manner, the terminal device stores a light intensity measurement table, and divides the possible light intensity range into more than one light intensity interval, and each light intensity interval corresponds to at least one interface image. After the terminal device obtains the light intensity of the current environment through the ambient light sensor or the like, the light intensity interval in the current environment is determined by comparing with the light intensity measurement table, and then the light intensity of the current environment is selected. The interface image corresponding to the intensity interval is used as the first interface image.

105. Draw the first interface image and display the first interface image.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after determining the first interface image according to the light intensity of the current environment, the terminal device draws the first interface image, and displays the first interface image to obtain an operation performed by the user on the interface.

In the method described in FIG. 1, the terminal device can automatically select an interface image corresponding to the light intensity according to the light intensity of the current environment for drawing and displaying, thereby eliminating the cumbersome steps of the user performing manual operation for interface control, and the user experience is more At the same time, the color of the interface image replaced according to this method can correspond to the current light intensity, reducing the stimulation to the user's eyes, and the user is not prone to visual fatigue if the terminal device is used for a long time.

Please refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart diagram of another interface control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the method may include the following steps:

201. The terminal device receives the first target operation, and if the interface image needs to be drawn in response to the first target operation, determining whether the interface control function is enabled.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the object controlled by the interface includes: at least one of a wallpaper, an application icon, a lock screen interface, a menu bar background, a navigation bar background, a dialog skin, and an input method skin displayed by the terminal device. Then, for different interface control objects, the corresponding first target operations are different. For example, if the interface control object is an input method skin, when the terminal device receives the pull input method command, and the input method keyboard image needs to be drawn in response to the command, the terminal device determines whether the interface control function has been turned on; if the interface control object For wallpaper, the terminal device receives the wake-up screen or returns to the wallpaper world. In the case of a face command, in response to the command, a wallpaper image needs to be drawn, and the terminal device determines whether the interface control function has been turned on.

202. If yes, determine whether the current time is within a valid period.

203. If yes, obtain the light intensity of the current environment of the terminal device through the hardware device.

204. Determine a first interface image according to the light intensity of the current environment.

As an optional implementation manner, if the light intensity of the current environment exceeds the preset glare threshold, the terminal device selects an interface image with a strong contrast between the text color and the background color as the first interface image; if the light intensity of the current environment is lower than By preset the low light threshold, the terminal device selects an interface image with a soft contrast between the text color and the background color as the first interface image.

The significance of taking the above measures is that in the case where the light intensity of the current environment is strong (beyond the preset glare threshold), the interface image with the overall style of light color is selected for the user, and the color of the interface image can be compared with the current light. The intensity echoes and helps to reduce irritation to the user's eyes. However, based on the visual characteristics of the human eye, in the case where the received light intensity is strong, the human eye will be affected by the details. Therefore, if the text in the interface image is also a light color, and the background color is lacking, Users may not see the text in the interface image. Therefore, the overall style is selected as a light color, and the text color and bottom The contrasting interface image as the first interface image can be used as a compromise method, which not only reduces the stimulation to the user's eyes to a certain extent, but also avoids the situation where the user cannot see the text in the interface image.

Among them, the contrast between the color of the text and the background color can be achieved by different interface design color matching methods, for example, selecting two colors with different RGB values as the text color and the background color, for example, selecting positive red (RGB value is 255, 0, 0) As the text color in the interface image, select ivory (RGB values of 250, 255, 240) as the background color of the interface image.

Correspondingly, when the light intensity of the current environment is weak, when the human eye has a good perception of the details, the text color and the background color of the interface image need not be set to a strong contrast style. If the light intensity of the current environment is lower than the preset low light threshold, the terminal device selects an interface image with a soft contrast between the text color and the ground color as the first interface image. The contrast between the text color and the background color can also be achieved through a variety of interface design color matching methods, such as selecting two colors of the same color as the text color and background color.

205. Draw the first interface image, and display the first interface image.

206. The terminal device receives the second target operation. If the first interface image needs to be closed in response to the second target operation, the hardware device that obtains the light intensity of the current environment of the terminal device is turned off.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal device receives the second target operation, and the second target operation needs to close the first interface image, the terminal device may correspondingly close the hardware device that acquires the light intensity of the current environment to reduce power consumption. For example, if the terminal device receives an instruction to lock the screen, the instruction causes the terminal device to close the currently displayed interface image, and the terminal device can accordingly turn off the hardware device (such as the ambient light sensor) for acquiring the current ambient light intensity. To help save power in the terminal equipment.

In the method described in FIG. 2, the terminal device can automatically select an interface image corresponding to the light intensity for drawing and displaying according to the light intensity of the current environment, thereby eliminating the cumbersome steps of the user performing manual operation for interface control, and the user experience is more At the same time, in the case where the light intensity of the current environment of the terminal device is strong, the text color of the interface image replaced according to this method is strongly contrasted with the background color, which can prevent the user from being able to see clearly when the ambient light is strong. The text in the interface image occurs.
