Although the LTE system is described as an example, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the LTE system, but may also be applied to other wireless communication systems, such as GSM, CDMA2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, and future new network systems.

Based on the above mobile terminal hardware structure and communication network system, the present invention provides various embodiments of the method.

First, the present invention provides an edge interaction method.

Referring to fig. 3, a schematic flow chart of a first embodiment of the edge interaction method provided by the present invention is shown, and the method is mainly used in the mobile terminal, and the method includes the steps of:

step 301, detecting touch signals in edge areas on two sides of a touch screen in real time, and entering step 302 if a sliding operation is detected; if not, continuing to detect;

specifically, please refer to fig. 5 at the same time, which is a schematic diagram of two side edge regions in a current display interface of the mobile terminal in the present invention, two side edge regions of the touch screen include a left side edge region and a right side edge region, as shown in fig. 5, region a and region B, the width of the edge regions may be set to a default value, for example, 1cm, by a manufacturer when the manufacturer leaves a factory, preferably, the width of the edge regions may be adjusted according to the size of the touch screen, and the larger the touch screen is, the larger the width of the edge regions may be set. It can be immediately understood that the user can make the pair according to the respective operation habits and can make the modification by the user. Here, the detecting of the touch signals in the edge regions on both sides is to detect whether the user triggers the sliding operation, and mainly means detecting the sliding operation in which the trigger point (i.e. the starting point of the sliding operation) occurs in the edge regions on both sides.

Step 302, judging whether the sliding operation is an inward sliding operation, if so, entering step 303, and calling out a search interface;

specifically, in the present invention, the sliding operation generally refers to a sliding operation in which the sliding trajectory does not include a closed curve, for example, a single curve, an arc, a straight line, or the like. Therefore, the inner slide operation mainly means that the overall tendency of the slide operation is to slide from the edge of the touch screen to the center, that is, from the end point of the slide trajectory, to be farther from the edge of the touch screen than the start point of the slide trajectory. As shown in fig. 6, a schematic diagram of the inward sliding operation is shown, in which the user's finger starts to slide horizontally at a certain point in the edge area a, and then an inward sliding operation is performed. It should be understood that the sliding direction is not limited to horizontal, and may be other inward sliding directions such as obliquely upward or obliquely downward, the sliding trajectory is not limited to a straight trajectory, and may also be an inward curve, which are not listed here.

Further, step S302 specifically includes:

determining a starting point and an end point of the sliding operation;

Specifically, whether the sliding operation is the inward sliding operation or not is determined by firstly determining a starting point and an end point of the sliding operation, when an angle formed by a connecting line formed by the end point and the starting point and a horizontal positive direction of the touch screen is within a preset angle, the sliding operation is considered as the inward sliding operation, and otherwise, the sliding operation is the other sliding operation. It can be understood that the value of the preset angle can be determined by a manufacturer by collecting operation habits of different users, and can also be changed by the user according to the use habits of the user after leaving a factory. Here, the touch screen positive direction refers to a direction pointing from the touch screen edge to the touch screen center, for example, for a slide operation that occurs in the left edge area, the touch screen positive direction is pointing from the left side screen edge to the screen center, i.e., to the right, and for a slide operation that occurs in the right edge area, the touch screen positive direction is pointing from the right side screen edge to the screen center, i.e., to the left. Referring to fig. 7, another schematic diagram of a user operation in a current display interface of a mobile terminal is shown, assuming that a preset angle is H, fig. 7 shows an area where a slide-in operation may fall when the user operates in a left edge area, and for a slide operation starting from a certain trigger point in the left edge area in fig. 7, when a connecting line between an end point and a start point of the slide operation falls into an area C in the figure, the slide operation is the slide-in operation. It is to be understood that fig. 7 only illustrates the determination region in which one of the edge regions a is a trigger point, and in actual operation, the trigger point of the sliding operation by the user may be any one of the edge regions a and B.

Further, step S303 specifically includes:

Specifically, the call-out direction of the search interface depends on the region where the slide-in operation occurs. When the inside sliding operation occurs in the left edge area, the inside sliding operation is a left inside sliding operation, at this time, the search interface may be called from the left edge and displayed by the left side of the current touch screen display interface, as shown in fig. 8, that is, a schematic diagram of the search interface on the current display interface. When the inward sliding operation occurs in the right edge area, the inward sliding operation is a right inward sliding operation, and at this time, the search interface can be called from the right edge and displayed by the left side and the lower side of the current touch screen display interface. It can be understood that, in order to avoid affecting the current display interface, the size of the search interface is inevitably smaller than that of the current display interface, and the screen occupation ratio of the search interface to the current display interface can be preset by the manufacturer.

Further, the calling-out mode of the search interface may be gradually displayed inward along the edge of the touch screen, that is, the search interface is gradually displayed from the left edge or the right edge of the touch screen to the center of the screen, and is finally displayed at the lower left side or the lower right side of the screen, and occupies the size of the current display interface in a preset proportion.

Further, in this embodiment, after step S303, the following steps are further included:

and searching according to the keywords input by the user on the search interface, and displaying the search result.

Specifically, in the invention, a search input box is provided on the search interface, after the search interface is called, a user can input corresponding keywords on the search input box, and the mobile terminal searches according to the keywords and displays the search interface on the search interface. It can be understood that the display content arrangement and the specific display situation of the search interface can be set according to the needs, and the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the top row of the search interface may be a search key input box (a search prompt description may also be added to the search box), the contents retrieved according to the keywords may be arranged in sequence and vertically, or the display priority of the retrieved content classification may be adjusted, or the search box may be operated by sliding up and down, or the retrieved contents may be hyperlinks, and may be clicked directly, and the like.

In the edge interaction method of the embodiment, the touch signals in the edge areas at two sides of the touch screen are detected in real time; when the sliding operation is detected in the edge areas on the two sides of the touch screen, judging whether the sliding operation is an inward sliding operation; and when the sliding operation is the inward sliding operation, calling out a search interface. The method has the advantages that interactive operation is carried out on the basis of the side edge of the touch screen, the search interface is called out in a side edge inward sliding mode, convenience and rapidness are achieved, the search interface can be called out rapidly without quitting the current display interface of the mobile terminal, and user experience is good.

Referring to fig. 4, a flowchart of a second embodiment of the edge interaction method according to the present invention is shown, and is mainly used in the mobile terminal. In this embodiment, the method comprises the steps of:

step 401, detecting touch signals in edge areas on two sides of a touch screen in real time, and entering step 402 if a sliding operation is detected; if not, continuing to detect;

step 402, judging whether the sliding operation is an inward sliding operation, if so, entering step 403;

the above steps S401 to S402 correspond to the steps S301 to S302 in the first embodiment one to one, and please refer to the description of the first embodiment for details, which are not repeated herein.

Step S403, judging whether the inside sliding operation is a shortcut triggering operation of the current application; if yes, go to step S404; if not, go to step S406;

step S404, displaying a prompt box to prompt a user to select a trigger interface, wherein the trigger interface comprises the search interface and a quick trigger interface corresponding to the current application;

step S405, calling out a corresponding trigger interface according to the selection result.

Specifically, if the mobile terminal is currently located in an application interface of an application, the application may have a shortcut trigger operation defined by its application itself, for example, for some applications, a left slide-in operation will trigger to call out a left hidden menu bar or turn a page backward, and therefore, if the mobile terminal is currently located in an application interface of an application, the slide-in operation is likely to have different function definitions, thereby causing a conflict. In order to avoid the situation, after the internal sliding operation is determined, whether the internal sliding operation is the shortcut triggering operation of the current application needs to be further confirmed, if so, a shortcut triggering interface corresponding to the shortcut triggering operation under the current application is determined, then, the existence of shortcut conflicts is prompted to a user through a prompt box, the prompt box displays different triggering interfaces, and the user selects the triggering interfaces by himself, wherein the triggering interfaces comprise the search interface and the shortcut triggering interface corresponding to the current application. For example, if the shortcut trigger interface corresponding to the left slide-in operation under the current application is to display a left menu bar, the mobile terminal displays different trigger options, such as "call out search interface" and "call out menu bar", through the prompt box, and the user selects the trigger options. And the mobile terminal detects the operation of the user and calls out a corresponding trigger interface according to the selection result.

Step 406, call out the search interface.

The step S406 corresponds to the step S303 in the first embodiment, and please refer to the description of the first embodiment for details, which are not repeated herein.

The edge interaction method of the embodiment prompts the user when the calling operation conflicts, so that the user can select the required interface immediately, the shortcut conflict is avoided, and the calling mode of the search interface is improved.

In addition, the invention provides an edge interaction program.

Fig. 9 is a functional block diagram of an edge interaction program 900 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the edge interaction program 900 may be divided into one or more modules, and the one or more modules are stored in the memory 109 of the mobile terminal 100 and executed by one or more processors (in this embodiment, the processor 110) to implement the present invention.

It is understood that the user can be paired according to the respective operation habits, and can be modified by the user. Here, the detecting module 901 detects the touch signals in the edge regions on both sides, in order to detect whether the user triggers the sliding operation, which mainly refers to detecting the sliding operation in which the trigger point (i.e. the starting point of the sliding operation) occurs in the edge regions on both sides, and the end point of the sliding operation is not limited, and may be in the edge regions on both sides or outside the edge regions on both sides.

The determining module 902 is configured to determine whether the sliding operation is an inward sliding operation when the sliding operation is detected in edge regions on two sides of the touch screen;

a calling-out module 903, configured to call out a search interface when the sliding operation is an inward sliding operation;

Further, the determining module 902 specifically includes:

a determination unit configured to determine a start point and an end point of the sliding operation;

the judging subunit is used for judging that the sliding operation is an inward sliding operation when an angle formed by a connecting line of the end point and the starting point of the sliding operation and the horizontal positive direction of the touch screen is smaller than or equal to a preset angle; and

The calling-out module 903 specifically includes:

the left call-out unit is used for calling out the search interface from the left edge of the touch screen when the inward sliding operation is the left inward sliding operation;

and the right call-out unit is used for calling out the search interface from the right edge of the touch screen when the inward sliding operation is the right inward sliding operation.

Further, in this embodiment, the edge interaction program 900 further includes:

and the searching module is used for searching according to the keywords input by the user on the searching interface and displaying the searching result.

Specifically, in the present invention, a search input box is provided on the search interface, after the search interface is called, the user can input a corresponding keyword on the search input box, and the search module 904 performs a search according to the keyword and displays the search interface on the search interface. It can be understood that the display content arrangement and the specific display situation of the search interface can be set according to the needs, and the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the top row of the search interface may be a search key input box (a search prompt description may also be added to the search box), the contents retrieved according to the keywords may be arranged in sequence and vertically, or the display priority of the retrieved content classification may be adjusted, or the search box may be operated by sliding up and down, or the retrieved contents may be hyperlinks, and may be clicked directly, and the like.

By executing the edge interaction program of the embodiment, touch signals in edge areas on two sides of the touch screen can be detected in real time; when the sliding operation is detected in the edge areas on the two sides of the touch screen, judging whether the sliding operation is an inward sliding operation; and when the sliding operation is the inward sliding operation, calling out a search interface. The method has the advantages that interactive operation is carried out on the basis of the side edge of the touch screen, the search interface is called out in a side edge inward sliding mode, convenience and rapidness are achieved, the search interface can be called out rapidly without quitting the current display interface of the mobile terminal, and user experience is good.

Further, based on the first embodiment of the edge interaction program 900 of the present invention, a second embodiment of the edge interaction program 900 of the present invention is proposed, as shown in fig. 10, the difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is that in the present embodiment, in addition to the function module 901 and the function module 903, a prompt module 904 is further included. In this embodiment:

the above implementation functions are the same as those in the first embodiment, and please refer to the description of the first embodiment for details, which are not repeated herein.

The judging module 902 is further configured to judge whether the inside sliding operation is a shortcut triggering operation of a current application;

the prompting module 904 is configured to display a prompt box to prompt a user to select a trigger interface when the inside sliding operation is a shortcut trigger operation of a current application, where the trigger interface includes the search interface and a shortcut trigger interface corresponding to the current application;

the calling-out module 903 is further configured to call out a corresponding trigger interface according to the selection result.

Specifically, if the mobile terminal is currently located in an application interface of an application, the application may have a shortcut trigger operation defined by its application itself, for example, for some applications, a left slide-in operation will trigger to call out a left hidden menu bar or turn a page backward, and therefore, if the mobile terminal is currently located in an application interface of an application, the slide-in operation is likely to have different function definitions, thereby causing a conflict. In order to avoid this situation, after it is determined that the inside-sliding operation is performed, it is further determined whether the inside-sliding operation is a shortcut trigger operation of the current application, if so, a shortcut trigger interface corresponding to the shortcut trigger operation under the current application is determined, then, the prompt module 905 prompts a user of the existence of a shortcut conflict through a prompt box, the prompt box displays different trigger interfaces, which are selected by the user, where the trigger interfaces include the search interface and the shortcut trigger interface corresponding to the current application. For example, if the shortcut trigger interface corresponding to the left slide-in operation under the current application is to display a left menu bar, the mobile terminal displays different trigger options, such as "call out search interface" and "call out menu bar", through the prompt box, and the user selects the trigger options. The calling-out module 903 detects the operation of the user and calls out a corresponding trigger interface according to the selection result.

The calling-out module 903 is further configured to call out a search interface when the inside sliding operation is not a shortcut trigger operation of the current application.

The implementation process of the calling-out module 903 calling out the search interface is the same as that in the first embodiment, and please refer to the description of the first embodiment for details, which is not repeated here.

The edge program of the embodiment prompts the user when the calling operation conflicts, so that the user can select the required interface immediately, the shortcut conflict is avoided, and the calling mode of the search interface is improved.

The present invention further provides a computer readable storage medium, on which the above-mentioned edge interaction program is stored, which when executed by a processor implements the edge interaction program method as described above.
