DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the technical solutions according to embodiments of the present invention are 25 clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the embodiments in the following description are merely a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. 30 In an existing intelligent UE, component moving is an extremely common operation. When components are in a mode that allows the components to be moved, for example, an editing mode, a user can move the components through manners, such as dragging, a mouse, a cursor or a focus shift, so that the components may be moved to any position in a container of the UE. However, 4 currently, under a normal circumstance, the user does not know the feature that the container is larger than a displaying region of a UE, and moreover, due to an influence of an operating habit, the user does not know that a hidden region outside the displaying region of the display screen of a UE may also be used to place the components. Further, even the user knows the feature that the 5 container is larger than the displaying region, when the user moves a component to a periphery of the displaying region of the display screen of the UE, the current displayed region can be switched to the adjacent hidden region only after several seconds staying, while the user generally considers that an object of moving the component into the hidden region in the container may be achieved by directly moving the component to the periphery of the display screen, which results in a failure in 0 the component movement operation. 2017203025 05 May 2017

In order to solve the problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a component display processing method, where the method may include: obtaining indication information indicating that a component is in a waiting-to-be-processed state; and according to the indication information, performing reducing processing on a displayed region that is displayed on a display 5 screen in a container, so that the display screen displays a hidden region of the container in an unoccupied region after the displayed region is reduced, where the container includes the displayed region and the hidden region for accommodating components.

In the embodiments of the present invention, when the user needs to perform processing on a component, the displayed region on the display screen may be dynamically reduced, so that the 0 hidden region of the container is displayed on the display screen. In this way, the user is prompted that processing may be performed on components in the displayed region and the hidden region. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present invention, no matter whether the user knows the feature that the container is larger than the displaying region of the UE, the user may be prompted that a placement location of the component may not only be the displayed region that is displayed 25 on the screen in the container, but also may be the hidden region besides the displayed region in the container, thereby facilitating operations by the user on all components in the container, and improving operation experience of the user.

In the following, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to several specific embodiments. 30 Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of Embodiment 1 of a component display processing method according to the present invention.

Embodiment 6 0 FIG. 6 is a flow chart of Embodiment 6 of a component display processing method according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the method of this embodiment may include:

Step 601: Obtain indication information indicating that a component is in a waiting-to-be-processed state.

The execution process of step 601 is similar to that of step 101 shown in FIG. 1, and details are 5 not repeated herein.

Step 602: According to the indication information, perform reducing processing on a displayed region that is displayed on a display screen in a container, so that the screen displays a hidden region of the container in an unoccupied region after the displayed region is reduced.

The execution process of step 602 is similar to that of step 102 shown in FIG. 1, and details are 0 not repeated herein.

It should be noted that, an implementation manner of step 602 may be any one of the implementation manners shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, and details are not repeated herein.

Step 603: Receive a movement instruction from a user, and move, according to the movement instruction, the component from the reduced displayed region into the hidden region that is 25 displayed on the display screen.

In a specific implementation process, the step 603 may be implemented by adopting two manners.

One implementation manner may be: After the component is moved from the reduced displayed region to a junction between the reduced displayed region and the hidden region that is 30 displayed on the display screen, content displayed on the display screen is switched in a shifting manner to completely display the hidden region, so that the component is moved into the hidden region.

In this implementation manner, the container may be in plane form, that is, the displayed 11 region that is displayed on the display screen in the container and the hidden region that is not displayed on the display screen are on the same plane. Therefore, when the component is moved to the junction between the reduced displayed region and the hidden region that is displayed on the display screen, the content displayed on the display screen may be switched in the shifting manner 5 to completely display the hidden region on the entire display screen, so that the component is moved into the hidden region of the container. 2017203025 05 May 2017

The other implementation manner may be: After the component is moved from the reduced displayed region to the junction between the reduced displayed region and the hidden region that is displayed on the display screen, the content displayed on the display screen is switched in a 0 reversing manner to completely display the hidden region, so that the component is moved into the hidden region.

In this implementation manner, the container may be in a three-dimensional shape, that is, the displayed region that is displayed on the display screen in the container and the hidden region that is not displayed on the display screen are respectively located at different surfaces of the container. 5 When the component is moved to the junction between the reduced displayed region and the hidden region that is displayed on the display screen, the content displayed on the display screen may be switched in the reversing manner to completely display the hidden region on the entire display screen, so that the component is moved into the hidden region of the container.

Taking a container in a cube shape as an example, the displayed region that is displayed on the 0 display screen in the container may be a surface of the cube, while other five surfaces of the cube are the hidden region that is not displayed on the display screen. When it is required to move the component, the entire displayed region that is displayed on the display screen in the container may be reduced, so that a part of the hidden region on four surfaces that are adjacent to the surface of the displayed region in the container is displayed on the display screen. When the component is moved 25 to the junction between the reduced displayed region and the hidden region that is display on the display screen, for example, to a junction at a right side, the content displayed on the display screen may be reversed. The process is similar to pushing the container in the cube shape, so that the five surfaces where the hidden region is located are respectively displayed on the display screen, and the component is moved into the hidden region of the container. 30 It should be noted that, the container in this implementation manner is not limited to be in a cube shape, and persons of ordinary skill in the art may set the shape of the container to be any three-dimensional shape as required.

In this embodiment, when the user needs to move a component, the UE may perform dynamical reducing processing on the displayed region on the display screen, so that the hidden 12 region of the container is displayed in the unoccupied region after the displayed region is reduced. In this way, the user is prompted that the component may be moved into the hidden region that is displayed on the display screen in the container. Moreover, in the component movement process, an effect of component movement may be implemented by adopting different manners. Therefore, in 5 this embodiment, no matter whether the user knows the feature that the container is larger than a displaying region of the UE, the user may be prompted that a placement location of the component may not only be the displayed region that is displayed on the screen in the container, but also may be the hidden region besides the displayed region in the container, thereby facilitating the operation of moving the component by the user, improving a success rate of the component movement 0 operation, and improving operation experience of the user. 2017203025 05 May 2017

Embodiment 7 FIG. 7 is a flow chart of Embodiment 7 of a component display processing method according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the method of this embodiment may include:

Step 701: Obtain indication information indicating that a component is in a 5 waiting-to-be-processed state.

The indication information obtained in step 701 indicates that the component is in the waiting-to-be-processed state, that is, the component is in a waiting-to-be-processed mode. The execution process of step 701 is similar to that of step 101 shown in FIG. 1, and details are not repeated herein. 0 Step 702: According to the indication information, perform reducing processing on a displayed region that is displayed on a display screen in a container, so that the display screen displays a hidden region of the container in an unoccupied region after the displayed region is reduced.

The execution process of step 702 is similar to that of step 102 shown in FIG. 1, and details are not repeated herein. 25 It should be noted that, an implementation manner of step 702 may be any one of the implementation manners in FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, and details are not repeated herein.

Step 703: Receive a screen expansion instruction from a user, and according to the screen expansion instruction, display a new displayed region on the display screen, where the new displayed region is the reduced original displayed region and the hidden region that is displayed on 30 the display screen.

Specifically, after the displayed region on the display screen is reduced, through exposing the hidden region, the user may be prompted that an available component is stored in the hidden region. Therefore, the user may send the screen expansion instruction to a UE. The screen expansion 13 instruction may be configured to instruct the UE to display a hidden component in the hidden region that is displayed on the display screen. Therefore, the UE may display, on the display screen, a component that is originally displayed in the displayed region and the component that is originally stored in the hidden region, so that, through screen expansion, more components are displayed on 5 the display screen for use by the user. For example, before the displayed region on the display screen is reduced, the UE may display nine components on the display screen; and after the displayed region on the display screen is reduced, the UE may display three more components in the hidden region that is exposed, so that twelve components may be displayed on the current display screen. It should be noted that, persons skilled in the art may display more components in 0 the hidden region that is exposed after the displayed region is reduced as required by adopting different component display sizes and component display manners, which is convenient for the user to perform operations on these components, thereby achieving better user experience. 2017203025 05 May 2017
