The mobile terminal 100 may include a wireless communication unit 110, an a/V (audio/video) input unit 120, a user input unit 130, a sensing unit 140, an output unit 150, a memory 160, an interface unit 170, a controller 180, a power supply unit 190, a split screen module 10, a determination module 20, and a switching module 30. Fig. 1 illustrates a mobile terminal having various components, but it is to be understood that not all illustrated components are required to be implemented. More or fewer components may alternatively be implemented. Elements of the mobile terminal will be described in detail below.

The wireless communication unit 110 typically includes one or more components that allow radio communication between the mobile terminal 100 and a wireless communication system or network. For example, the wireless communication unit may include a mobile communication module 112 and a wireless internet module 113

The mobile communication module 112 transmits and/or receives radio signals to and/or from at least one of a base station (e.g., access point, node B, etc.), an external terminal, and a server. Such radio signals may include voice call signals, video call signals, or various types of data transmitted and/or received according to text and/or multimedia messages.

The wireless internet module 113 supports wireless internet access of the mobile terminal. The module may be internally or externally coupled to the terminal. The wireless internet access technology to which the module relates may include WLAN (wireless LAN) (Wi-Fi), Wibro (wireless broadband), Wimax (worldwide interoperability for microwave access), HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access), and the like.

The a/V input unit 120 may include a camera 121, and the camera 121 processes image data of still pictures or video obtained by an image capturing apparatus in a video capturing mode or an image capturing mode. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 151. The image frames processed by the cameras 121 may be stored in the memory 160 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the wireless communication unit 110, and two or more cameras 121 may be provided according to the construction of the mobile terminal.

The user input unit 130 may generate key input data according to a command input by a user to control various operations of the mobile terminal. The user input unit 130 allows a user to input various types of information, and may include a keyboard, dome sheet, touch pad (e.g., a touch-sensitive member that detects changes in resistance, pressure, capacitance, and the like due to being touched), scroll wheel, joystick, and the like. In particular, when the touch pad is superimposed on the display unit 151 in the form of a layer, a touch screen may be formed.

The sensing unit 140 detects a current state of the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., an open or closed state of the mobile terminal 100), a position of the mobile terminal 100, presence or absence of contact (i.e., touch input) by a user with the mobile terminal 100, an orientation of the mobile terminal 100, acceleration or deceleration movement and direction of the mobile terminal 100, and the like, and generates a command or signal for controlling an operation of the mobile terminal 100. For example, when the mobile terminal 100 is implemented as a slide-type mobile phone, the sensing unit 140 may sense whether the slide-type phone is opened or closed. In addition, the sensing unit 140 can detect whether the power supply unit 190 supplies power or whether the interface unit 170 is coupled with an external device.

The interface unit 170 serves as an interface through which at least one external device is connected to the mobile terminal 100. For example, the external device may include a wired or wireless headset port, an external power supply (or battery charger) port, a wired or wireless data port, a memory card port, a port for connecting a device having an identification module, an audio input/output (I/O) port, a video I/O port, an earphone port, and the like. The identification module may store various information for authenticating a user using the mobile terminal 100 and may include a User Identity Module (UIM), a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), and the like. In addition, a device having an identification module (hereinafter, referred to as an "identification device") may take the form of a smart card, and thus, the identification device may be connected with the mobile terminal 100 via a port or other connection means. The interface unit 170 may be used to receive input (e.g., data information, power, etc.) from an external device and transmit the received input to one or more elements within the mobile terminal 100 or may be used to transmit data between the mobile terminal and the external device.

In addition, when the mobile terminal 100 is connected with an external cradle, the interface unit 170 may serve as a path through which power is supplied from the cradle to the mobile terminal 100 or may serve as a path through which various command signals input from the cradle are transmitted to the mobile terminal. Various command signals or power input from the cradle may be used as signals for recognizing whether the mobile terminal is accurately mounted on the cradle. The output unit 150 is configured to provide output signals (e.g., audio signals, video signals, alarm signals, vibration signals, etc.) in a visual, audio, and/or tactile manner. The output unit 150 may include a display unit 151, an audio output module 152, an alarm unit 153, and the like.

The display unit 151 may display information processed in the mobile terminal 100. For example, when the mobile terminal 100 is in a phone call mode, the display unit 151 may display a User Interface (UI) or a Graphical User Interface (GUI) related to a call or other communication (e.g., text messaging, multimedia file downloading, etc.). When the mobile terminal 100 is in a video call mode or an image capturing mode, the display unit 151 may display a captured image and/or a received image, a UI or GUI showing a video or an image and related functions, and the like.

Meanwhile, when the display unit 151 and the touch pad are overlapped with each other in the form of a layer to form a touch screen, the display unit 151 may serve as an input device and an output device. The display unit 151 may include at least one of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), a thin film transistor LCD (TFT-LCD), an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display, a flexible display, a three-dimensional (3D) display, and the like. Some of these displays may be configured to be transparent to allow a user to view from the outside, which may be referred to as transparent displays, and a typical transparent display may be, for example, a TOLED (transparent organic light emitting diode) display or the like. Depending on the particular desired implementation, the mobile terminal 100 may include two or more display units (or other display devices), for example, the mobile terminal may include an external display unit (not shown) and an internal display unit (not shown). The touch screen may be used to detect a touch input pressure as well as a touch input position and a touch input area.

The audio output module 152 may convert audio data received by the wireless communication unit 110 or stored in the memory 160 into an audio signal and output as sound when the mobile terminal is in a call signal reception mode, a call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like. Also, the audio output module 152 may provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output module 152 may include a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The alarm unit 153 may provide an output to notify the mobile terminal 100 of the occurrence of an event. Typical events may include call reception, message reception, key signal input, touch input, and the like. In addition to audio or video output, the alarm unit 153 may provide output in different ways to notify the occurrence of an event. For example, the alarm unit 153 may provide an output in the form of vibration, and when a call, a message, or some other incoming communication (incomingmunication) is received, the alarm unit 153 may provide a tactile output (i.e., vibration) to inform the user thereof. By providing such a tactile output, the user can recognize the occurrence of various events even when the user's mobile phone is in the user's pocket. The alarm unit 153 may also provide an output notifying the occurrence of an event via the display unit 151 or the audio output module 152.

The memory 160 may store software programs and the like for processing and controlling operations performed by the controller 180, or may temporarily store data (e.g., a phonebook, messages, still images, videos, and the like) that has been or will be output. Also, the memory 160 may store data regarding various ways of vibration and audio signals output when a touch is applied to the touch screen.

The memory 160 may include at least one type of storage medium including a flash memory, a hard disk, a multimedia card, a card-type memory (e.g., SD or DX memory, etc.), a Random Access Memory (RAM), a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a programmable read-only memory (PROM), a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, and the like. Also, the mobile terminal 100 may cooperate with a network storage device that performs a storage function of the memory 160 through a network connection.

The controller 180 generally controls the overall operation of the mobile terminal. For example, the controller 180 performs control and processing related to voice calls, data communications, video calls, and the like. In addition, the controller 180 may include a multimedia module 181 for reproducing (or playing back) multimedia data, and the multimedia module 181 may be constructed within the controller 180 or may be constructed separately from the controller 180. The controller 180 may perform a pattern recognition process to recognize a handwriting input or a picture drawing input performed on the touch screen as a character or an image.

The power supply unit 190 receives external power or internal power and provides appropriate power required to operate various elements and components under the control of the controller 180.

The various embodiments described herein may be implemented in a computer-readable medium using, for example, computer software, hardware, or any combination thereof. For a hardware implementation, the embodiments described herein may be implemented using at least one of an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a Digital Signal Processing Device (DSPD), a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a processor, a controller, a microcontroller, a microprocessor, an electronic unit designed to perform the functions described herein, and in some cases, such embodiments may be implemented in the controller 180. For a software implementation, the implementation such as a process or a function may be implemented with a separate software module that allows performing at least one function or operation. The software codes may be implemented by software applications (or programs) written in any suitable programming language, which may be stored in the memory 160 and executed by the controller 180.

Up to this point, mobile terminals have been described in terms of their functionality. Hereinafter, a slide-type mobile terminal among various types of mobile terminals, such as a folder-type, bar-type, swing-type, slide-type mobile terminal, and the like, will be described as an example for the sake of brevity. Accordingly, the present invention can be applied to any type of mobile terminal, and is not limited to a slide type mobile terminal.

The mobile terminal 100 as shown in fig. 1 may be configured to operate with communication systems such as wired and wireless communication systems and satellite-based communication systems that transmit data via frames or packets.

A communication system in which a mobile terminal according to the present invention is operable will now be described with reference to fig. 2.

Such communication systems may use different air interfaces and/or physical layers. For example, the air interface used by the communication system includes, for example, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) (in particular, Long Term Evolution (LTE)), global system for mobile communications (GSM), and the like. By way of non-limiting example, the following description relates to a CDMA communication system, but such teachings are equally applicable to other types of systems.

Referring to fig. 2, the CDMA wireless communication system may include a plurality of mobile terminals 100, a plurality of Base Stations (BSs) 270, Base Station Controllers (BSCs) 275, and a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 280. The MSC280 is configured to interface with a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) 290. The MSC280 is also configured to interface with a BSC275, which may be coupled to the base station 270 via a backhaul. The backhaul may be constructed according to any of several known interfaces including, for example, E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. It will be understood that a system as shown in fig. 2 may include multiple BSCs 275.

Each BS270 may serve one or more sectors (or regions), each sector covered by a multi-directional antenna or an antenna pointing in a particular direction being radially distant from the BS 270. Alternatively, each partition may be covered by two or more antennas for diversity reception. Each BS270 may be configured to support multiple frequency allocations, with each frequency allocation having a particular frequency spectrum (e.g., 1.25MHz,5MHz, etc.).

The intersection of partitions with frequency allocations may be referred to as a CDMA channel. The BS270 may also be referred to as a Base Transceiver Subsystem (BTS) or other equivalent terminology. In such a case, the term "base station" may be used to generically refer to a single BSC275 and at least one BS 270. The base stations may also be referred to as "cells". Alternatively, each sector of a particular BS270 may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.

As shown in fig. 2, a Broadcast Transmitter (BT)295 transmits a broadcast signal to the mobile terminal 100 operating within the system. A broadcast receiving module 111 as shown in fig. 1 is provided at the mobile terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT 295. In fig. 2, several Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites 300 are shown. The satellite 300 assists in locating at least one of the plurality of mobile terminals 100.

In fig. 2, a plurality of satellites 300 are depicted, but it is understood that useful positioning information may be obtained with any number of satellites. The wireless communication system of the mobile terminal of the present application may also include a GPS module that is generally configured to cooperate with the satellites 300 to obtain desired positioning information. Other techniques that can track the location of the mobile terminal may be used instead of or in addition to GPS tracking techniques. In addition, at least one GPS satellite 300 may selectively or additionally process satellite DMB transmission.

As a typical operation of the wireless communication system, the BS270 receives reverse link signals from various mobile terminals 100. The mobile terminal 100 is generally engaged in conversations, messaging, and other types of communications. Each reverse link signal received by a particular base station 270 is processed within the particular BS 270. The obtained data is forwarded to the associated BSC 275. The BSC provides call resource allocation and mobility management functions including coordination of soft handoff procedures between BSs 270. The BSCs 275 also route the received data to the MSC280, which provides additional routing services for interfacing with the PSTN 290. Similarly, the PSTN290 interfaces with the MSC280, the MSC interfaces with the BSCs 275, and the BSCs 275 accordingly control the BS270 to transmit forward link signals to the mobile terminal 100.

Based on the above hardware structure and communication device structure of the mobile terminal, the present invention provides various embodiments of the interface switching device, and the interface switching device is a part of the mobile terminal.

Referring to fig. 3, the present invention provides an interface switching apparatus, in a first embodiment of the interface switching apparatus, the apparatus comprising:

the split screen module 10: the terminal touch screen display control method comprises the steps that when a trigger operation is detected on a terminal, a current display interface of the terminal touch screen is divided into a plurality of display areas;

when the terminal detects that a trigger operation exists, the screen splitting module 10 divides a current display interface of the terminal touch screen into a plurality of display areas for displaying. Specifically, the terminal includes various intelligent terminals such as a mobile phone and a tablet; the triggering operation refers to various operations such as pressing, pressing sliding and the like which can be sensed by the terminal and can trigger a terminal instruction, and the triggering operation can act on the edge or the middle display area of the terminal touch screen; the current display interface comprises a default home page of a terminal touch screen or a certain page selected to be displayed by a user. When a terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet detects a trigger operation such as pressing or sliding, a screen splitting module divides a current display interface which is being displayed on a terminal touch screen into a plurality of display areas to be displayed in a split mode, the content displayed in each display area is the same as the display content of the corresponding position of the whole interface before the display areas are not divided into the plurality of display areas, the number of the specific display areas is two by default, and the specific display areas can be set according to the needs of a user, the maximum number which can be set is not more than the maximum number of icons which can be arranged on the current display interface, so that the situation that one icon cannot be displayed in a certain area, namely the phenomenon that one icon is contended by two areas, and the problem of display disorder is caused is avoided. The split screen operation of the current display interface does not include a shortcut bar icon area at the lowest part of the interface, the shortcut bar icon area at the lowest part of the interface is an area for realizing basic functions of the terminal, such as making a call, sending a short message, an address book and the like, if the icon in the area is also displayed in a partition mode, the icon in the area is possibly switched during subsequent sliding operation, when a user uses the basic functions of the terminal, the requirement of using the basic functions can be realized only by switching the icon in the area back, the operation is complicated, the user experience is influenced, and therefore the area is set to be not displayed in a partition mode.

The determining module 20 is configured to, in a process of a continuous action of the trigger operation and the touch screen, determine, if a sliding operation is detected, a corresponding display area as an area to be switched according to an operation position of the sliding operation;

when the trigger operation and the touch screen continuously act, if the terminal detects that the sliding operation is received on the touch screen, the determining module 20 determines the corresponding display area of the position where the sliding operation occurs on the touch screen as the area to be switched. Specifically, referring to fig. 8, the sliding operation may be performed on a C region at the edge of the terminal touch screen or a P region displayed in the middle; while the split screen module divides the currently displayed P region into four display regions of P1, P2, P3 and P4, the touch screen edge C region is also divided into four control regions of C1, C2, C3 and C4 corresponding to the four display regions of P1, P2, P3 and P4. The corresponding positions of the edge areas on two sides of the terminal default touch screen control the same display area, namely, the two edge C1 areas control the P1 area, the two edge C2 areas control the P2 area, the two edge C3 areas control the P3 area, the two edge C4 areas control the P4 area, and the control can be set to be one of the two edges according to the use habits of users. When the sliding operation occurs at the edge of the touch screen of the terminal, the sliding operation can only act on the length direction of the edge of the touch screen due to the limitation of the width of the edge of the touch screen, the middle display area of the touch screen is not limited by the limitation, and the sliding operation can act on the length direction of the middle display area and can also act on the width direction of the middle display area. The area to be switched is a current display area without a target icon, when the terminal detects that the touch screen receives the sliding operation in the process of continuously performing the triggering operation such as pressing, pressing sliding and the like, the terminal analyzes the specific display area of the touch screen where the sliding operation occurs, and the analyzed display area corresponding to the touch screen where the operation position is located serves as the area to be switched so that a user can switch interfaces as required.

And the switching module 30 is configured to switch the area to be switched to a preset interface according to the operation parameter of the sliding operation.

According to the received specific operation parameters of the sliding operation, the switching module 30 switches the area to be switched to a preset interface. The operation parameters of the sliding operation comprise the direction of the sliding operation, the starting contact position and the ending contact position of the sliding operation, the judgment rule of the sliding operation and other operation parameters; the preset interface is a default arrangement interface of original application icons in the terminal; or the application generation icon is automatically downloaded according to the user requirement, and the user is an interface formed by arranging according to the usage amount or the application type. And the terminal switches the current display area without the target icon where the sliding operation is located into a preset interface according to the direction of the sliding operation, and finally switches to the interface where the target icon is located.

The interface switching device in this embodiment includes a split screen module 10: the terminal touch screen display control method comprises the steps that when a trigger operation is detected on a terminal, a current display interface of the terminal touch screen is divided into a plurality of display areas; the determining module 20 is configured to, in a process of a continuous action of the trigger operation and the touch screen, determine, if a sliding operation is detected, a corresponding display area as an area to be switched according to an operation position of the sliding operation; and the switching module 30 is configured to switch the area to be switched to a preset interface according to the operation parameter of the sliding operation. To assist understanding, please refer to fig. 9, wherein P is a partitionable region, P0 is a non-partitionable region, P' is a to-be-displayed interface, F1 is a trigger operation, and F2 is a slide operation. The area P comprises eight display icons including QQ, WeChat, music, video, a map, a calendar and a camera, the area P0 comprises a telephone, a short message and an address book, and the area P' comprises eight icons to be displayed including a Tianmao icon, a Jingdong icon, a camera icon, a game icon, an album icon, a Mei Tuo icon, a theme icon and a note. When the terminal detects that the touch screen receives a trigger operation F1, the split screen module 10 divides a partitionable area P of the display screen into four display areas P1, P2, P3 and P4, wherein the P1 area comprises QQ and WeChat, the P2 area comprises music and video, the P3 area comprises a map and weather, and the P4 area comprises a calendar and settings.
