Summary of The Invention
The inventor finds in a research process that after a user logs in a webpage mailbox, a left navigation area of a current mailbox interface is limited in size, so that the interaction frequency of the user with a user interface interaction device (such as a mailbox server) is too high when the user opens an application under the condition that the user customizes too many applications, and then the interaction efficiency of the user with the user interface interaction device (such as the mailbox server) is low, if a shortcut link can be realized through a smaller item (such as an icon or a button), the shortcut link can point to a shortcut window of the application including default presentation, so that the user can quickly open the application with default presentation by opening the shortcut window through the shortcut link, and further the response efficiency of the user interface interaction device (such as the mailbox server) and the interaction efficiency with the user interface interaction device (such as the mailbox server) can be improved by reducing the interaction frequency with the user interface interaction device (such as the mailbox server) when the application is opened The interaction efficiency of the user.
Having described the general principles of the invention, various non-limiting embodiments of the invention are described in detail below.
Application scene overview
Referring first to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a block diagram of an exemplary application scenario of an embodiment of the present invention. Wherein a user interacts with a user interface interaction device (e.g., mailbox server 201) through client 202. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the block diagram shown in FIG. 2 is merely one example in which embodiments of the present invention may be implemented. The scope of applicability of embodiments of the present invention is not limited in any way by this framework.
It should be noted that client 202 here may be any client now existing, developing or developed in the future that is capable of interacting with mailbox server 201 over any form of wired or wireless connection (e.g., Wi-Fi, LAN, WAN, internet, etc.), including but not limited to: existing, developing or future developing, desktop computers, laptop computers, mobile terminals (including smart phones, non-smart phones, various tablet computers), and the like.
It should also be noted that mailbox server 201 is only one example of an existing, developing, or future developed device capable of providing mail services to users.
The embodiments of the invention are not limited in any way in this respect.
In the exemplary application scenario shown in fig. 2, mailbox server 201 may provide a shortcut link to an application for display after a user logs into a web mailbox, where the shortcut link points to a shortcut window of the application that includes a default presentation. The mailbox server 201 provides the shortcut window as a floating layer for display in response to an expansion instruction provided via the shortcut link, wherein the expansion instruction provides an indication of an expansion manner in which the shortcut window is expanded as a floating layer. It should be noted that the expansion instruction here may be sent to the mailbox server 201 by the user clicking a shortcut link provided by the client 202 and used for triggering the shortcut window, for example. According to some exemplary embodiments of the invention, the shortcut window may be displayed on client 202, for example, as a floating layer in a mailbox interface.
Exemplary method
In conjunction with the application scenario of fig. 2, a user interface interaction method based on a web mailbox according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to fig. 3. It should be noted that the above application scenarios are merely illustrated for the convenience of understanding the spirit and principles of the present invention, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited in this respect. Rather, embodiments of the present invention may be applied to any scenario where applicable.
Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for user interface interaction based on a web mailbox provided by the present invention is shown, and the embodiment may specifically include:
step 301: and responding to the login operation of the webpage mailbox, and providing a shortcut link of the application for displaying, wherein the shortcut link points to a shortcut window of the application comprising the default presentation.
The method and the system are applicable to application scenarios in which the user uses the webpage mailbox on the client, and the user interface interaction device is a mailbox server at the moment. After a user registers webpage mailboxes on various types of mailbox officers, a mailbox server detects whether the user logs in the registered webpage mailboxes in real time, if the user triggers the login operation of the webpage mailboxes, a subsequent mailbox server responds to the login operation to provide quick links for display, wherein the quick links point to a quick window of an application comprising default presentation. In this step, if the user does not log in the webpage mailbox, the subsequent processes are not executed.
In this embodiment, the mailbox server may set some applications that need to be presented to the user by default in advance in the shortcut link pointing to the shortcut window, and in this way, if the mailbox server detects that the user logs in the webpage mailbox, the shortcut link is directly displayed to the user at the preset position of the current mailbox interface, so that a subsequent user can directly interact with the mailbox server through the shortcut link.
It should be noted that the preset position of the current mailbox interface can be freely adjusted, and for example, the preset position can be set at the lower left corner or the upper right corner of the current mailbox interface. The quick link can be realized by a circular button or an oval button, and the invention can be realized without limiting the realization mode and the display position of the quick link as long as whether the user clicks and selects the quick link can be detected by the quick link.
It can be understood that, in a plurality of default applications that are preset on the shortcut window by the mailbox server, for example, an internet-related email is preset by the mailbox server, for example, applications such as "internet-related microblog," internet-related software ", resume center," and "task table" are preset by the mailbox server, and then after the user clicks the shortcut link corresponding to the shortcut window, the popped-up shortcut window includes the four applications.
In the embodiment of the invention, the application can be not only a mailbox application in a webpage mailbox system, but also other external applications of the mailbox system, such as 'network easy microblog' and 'network easy album', which can be opened by a user in a current mailbox interface.
Step 302: in response to an expansion instruction provided via clicking the shortcut link, providing for display the shortcut window as a floating layer, wherein the expansion instruction provides an indication of an expansion manner in which the shortcut window expands as a floating layer.
In this embodiment, if the user triggers an expansion instruction by clicking the shortcut link provided in step 301, the mailbox server provides a shortcut window as a floating layer for display in response to the expansion instruction, where the floating layer is a window for popping up that is independent from each tab page in the mailbox interface, and the expansion instruction may provide an indication that the shortcut window is an expansion manner in which the floating layer is expanded. For example, in this embodiment, the deployment instruction may include any one of the following instructions: a transverse unfolding instruction, which is used for transversely unfolding the shortcut window into a floating layer; or, a longitudinal unfolding instruction is used for longitudinally unfolding the shortcut window into a floating layer; or, a maximum unfolding instruction is used for maximally unfolding the shortcut window into a floating layer.
In the embodiment of the present invention, once the mailbox server responds to the expansion instruction provided by clicking the shortcut link, the shortcut window pointed by the shortcut link can be displayed to the user in the current mailbox interface, specifically, the position of the expansion shortcut window can also be set autonomously, for example, the window is displayed below or above or in the middle of the current mailbox interface, and the display mode is also various in specific applications, for example: the shortcut window can be transversely expanded into a floating layer on the current mailbox interface; or, the shortcut window is longitudinally expanded into a floating layer on the current mailbox interface; or, maximally expanding the shortcut window into a floating layer on the current mailbox interface.
Referring to fig. 4, an exemplary diagram of a shortcut window being horizontally expanded on a current mailbox interface is shown. In fig. 4, when it is detected that the shortcut link 401 is clicked by the user, a shortcut window 402 is popped up laterally, where the default applications "internet microblog", "internet blog", "resume center", and "task list" are included in the shortcut window 402, and of course, the mailbox server may set more or fewer default applications. In fig. 4, if the user clicks the setting button 403, an editing interface of the shortcut window may be popped up additionally, and if the applications in the shortcut window 402 are so many that the current shortcut window page cannot be installed, the button 404 in fig. 4 is clicked, and then a next shortcut window may be popped up, that is, a large number of applications may be paged and displayed in the shortcut window in this embodiment.
Referring to fig. 5, which is an exemplary schematic diagram of an editing interface of a shortcut window, in fig. 5, after a user triggers editing of the shortcut window, a "shortcut window editing" interface pops up, in which the user may perform a relevant operation on the "shortcut window", for example, by selecting whether to "open" or "close" the "shortcut link", it may be selected whether to provide the shortcut link for display after the user logs in a mailbox. And, the user can select whether the "expansion mode" of the "shortcut window" is "horizontal expansion", "vertical expansion", or "maximum expansion", and the user can determine which applications appear in the shortcut window and in what display order or manner the applications are presented in by the "applications", "sort", and "edit applications" options at the bottom of the shortcut window.
Referring to fig. 6, an exemplary diagram of a shortcut window being longitudinally expanded on a current mailbox interface is shown. It can be seen in fig. 6 that the shortcut window 402 is a floating layer suspended on the current mailbox interface, and is expanded longitudinally on the left side of the current mailbox interface, where it is to be noted that the position of the shortcut window 402 may still be unfixed when expanded longitudinally, for example, the shortcut window 402 may also be expanded longitudinally on the right side of the current mailbox interface. Among them, the functions of the shortcut button 401, the setting button 403, and the button 404 may refer to the description in fig. 4.
Referring to FIG. 7, an exemplary diagram illustrating the maximized expansion of a shortcut window on a current mailbox interface is shown. The maximization means the maximization of the shortcut window per se relative to the horizontal or vertical expansion, and does not mean that the shortcut window completely covers the current mailbox interface, but only relative to the small interface when the shortcut window is expanded horizontally or vertically. Among them, the functions of the shortcut button 401, the setting button 403, and the button 404 may refer to the description in fig. 4.
In addition, it should be noted that, whether the display diagram of the shortcut window in fig. 4, fig. 6 and fig. 7 is shown, the application shown therein is a specific example, and the existence form and appearance of each button are also a specific example. In the process of implementing the invention, various buttons can be randomly set in shapes, and only the effect described in the embodiment of the invention can be achieved, and whether each application appears in the shortcut window only in the form of an icon or only in the form of a character or in the form of an icon and a character at the same time can achieve the invention, so that the invention does not specially limit the content.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the floating layer may be a semi-transparent floating layer, which not only can implement the present invention, but also can prevent the appearance of the shortcut window from affecting the reading of other characters or the operation of other applications in the current mailbox interface by the user.
In the embodiment, the plurality of applications are displayed and presented through the shortcut window corresponding to the shortcut link, so that the user can use the plurality of applications in the shortcut window without switching the page which is opened by the user, the interaction times of the user and the mailbox server when using the webpage mailbox can be reduced, and the response efficiency of the mailbox server and the interaction efficiency of the user can be improved through the reduction of the interaction times.
Furthermore, the shortcut link can be presented in a button mode and can appear in a corner in the current mailbox interface, and the user can open the shortcut window when clicking the button, so that the user cannot be interfered, and the experience of the user in using the webpage mailbox is improved.
Furthermore, because the shortcut window can be displayed in a paging mode, more applications can be accommodated, so that the number of applications presented through the shortcut window is large, and the problem that the displayed content is limited in the prior art is solved.
Furthermore, because the application in the shortcut window can also adopt a form of combining icons with characters, the method not only gets rid of the dullness of pure characters, but also enables the content of the mailbox interface to be visual and vivid, and is beneficial to the selection of the application by a user.
Referring to fig. 8, which is a flowchart of another embodiment of the method for user interface interaction based on a web mailbox provided in the embodiment of the present invention, except for steps 301 and 302, the embodiment may specifically include:
step 801: and responding to the received trigger instruction, and providing an editing interface of the application included in the shortcut window for display.
After the foregoing method embodiment is executed, a shortcut window including an application presented by default may be expanded to a user on a client, and if the shortcut window is expanded, the user needs to update the application in the shortcut window subsequently, for example, a new application that needs to be presented by default in the shortcut window needs to be added, or an application that has already been presented by default in the shortcut window needs to be removed, or an order in which the applications in the shortcut window are displayed needs to be adjusted, and so on, the mailbox server may provide an editing interface of the application included in the shortcut window for display according to a trigger instruction of the user. The triggering instruction here may be, for example, a user sending to the mailbox server by clicking on an item (e.g., an icon, a button, etc.) provided by the client for triggering the editing interface. A specific editing interface schematic may refer to fig. 5 and its associated description.
Step 802: and updating the default presented application included in the shortcut window in response to a setting instruction of the application provided through the editing interface.
The mailbox server responds to a setting instruction for the application, which is input by a user on an editing interface of the shortcut window, to update the application in the shortcut window corresponding to the shortcut link. For example, a user may add a new application to the shortcut window through a setting instruction of the application, delete an existing application in the shortcut window, sort an existing application, and the like.
Wherein the setting instruction comprises any one or more of the following instructions: adding instructions for presenting the added application in the shortcut window by default; removing instructions for removing an application previously presented by default in the shortcut window from display of the shortcut window; ordering instructions for ordering a display order of applications that are presented in the multi-tab window by default. The mailbox server can update the default presented application included in the shortcut window by responding to a setting instruction of the application provided through the editing interface.
Step 803: and responding to the update generated by the default presented application, and prompting by adopting a preset identifier at a preset position around the presented position of the shortcut link.
In the embodiment, when the application in the shortcut window is updated, for example, a mail is newly received in an inbox, the user is prompted by adopting a preset identifier at a preset position around the presentation position of the shortcut link appearing when the user logs in the webpage mailbox. For example, the user may be prompted to have several updates and the like by using an arabic numeral at the upper left of the shortcut link button, and the specific prompting manner is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The preset identifier may be dynamic to achieve a more striking effect of prompting the user, and may be a flashing graphic or a text symbol, for example.
It can be understood that, for any application in the shortcut window, the user may be prompted by a preset identifier when the application generates an update, and of course, such prompting may be implemented by the user actively submitting a request to the mailbox server, or by the mailbox server actively notifying the user which applications generate updates.
It should be noted that, in practice, the step 803 is not necessarily executed after the step 802, and may be executed in synchronization with the steps 801 to 802 or prior to the steps 801 to 802, and in an actual application scenario, the mailbox server selectively executes the steps in the present embodiment according to the received instruction.
In the embodiment, the application in the shortcut window can be updated according to the setting of the user, and the user can be prompted by setting the identifier at the preset position around the presentation position of the shortcut link when the application is updated, so that the user can know the updating condition of the customized application in time, and the use experience of the user on the webpage mailbox is further improved.
