Example context
Fig. 1 illustrates the Example Operating Environment 100 including computing device in the form of mobile phone 102.Should be appreciated that and
Understand, in the case where not departing from the range of required theme, computing device can be presented as any other suitable type
Device, such as, tablet computer, desktop computer, laptop computer, game table etc..In this example, mobile phone 102
Including touch-screen display 104.
Touch-screen display 104 typically represents multifunctional display apparatus, which shows letter on the screen
Cease and detect by with the input that is received by screen contact.Touch-screen display 104 can configure in various ways.Example
Such as, touch-screen display 104 may include touch sensible component, such as, be configured as detecting the contact with screen (such as in quilt
When the finger of user hand 106 touches) sensor.It as an example, can be by using neighbouring optical clear conductor (example
Such as, indium tin oxide) spread all over touch screen formation X-Y grids to detect different X-Y on the screen of touch-screen display 104
Set the contact at place.It is also possible, however, to use other technologies, such as, surface capacitance, mutual capacitance, self-capacitance, infrared ray, optics at
Picture, dispersive signal technology, acoustic pulses mark etc..
Mobile phone 102 also includes (multiple) processor 108 and computer-readable medium 110.(multiple) processor 108 can
To be configured to realize the monokaryon or multi-core processor of the various functions of mobile phone.(multiple) processor 108 can be with
It couples, and can implement described herein with any other component of mobile phone 102 described herein or module
Any other component of mobile phone 102 or the function of module.In some cases, (multiple) processor 108 (directly or
Person is indirectly) it is coupled to computer-readable medium 110.(such as, the representative of computer-readable medium 110 can store information thereon
Processor-executable instruction, data, file, digital audio, digital picture etc.) one or more memory storage apparatus.
Herein, computer-readable medium 110 includes input mark module 112 and expansion module 114.Although mark module will be inputted herein
112 and expansion module 114 be illustrated as separate modular, but in some embodiments, in the range for not departing from required theme
In the case of, associated function can be merged into general module.
Mark module 112 is inputted to represent input of the reception from touch-screen display 104 and identify associated with input
Respective action function.For example, the double-click on touch-screen display 104 can be inputted gesture by input mark module 112
It is identified as the action of the amplification on the respective image in corresponding region as input gesture, by clicking on shown icon
Input gesture is identified as the call action of application associated with shown icon, by pinning simultaneously on shown text
Gesture is kept to be identified as insertion cursor action, etc..In some embodiments, input mark module 112 mark or promotion text
Extension acts, as described further below.
Expansion module 114 is represented in response to receiving touch input by dynamically extending display content via spatial spread
Subset change the function of the subset of content.For example, in some embodiments, the content in display area corresponds in text
Character subset in this character string.When touch input, which is entered mark module, to be received and handle, where is the mark of expansion module 114
A little characters are included in character subset associated with touch input.Expansion module 114 is then by flatly changing and expanding
Exhibition being spaced visually to change the interval between each respective symbols between respective symbols, while keeping the big of character
Small fixation (for example, keeping the font size of character identical).Sometimes, extension can only increase from the horizontal distance being initially displayed
Total level distance between each respective symbols.The interval between visually highlighting character is done so in order to which cursor is fixed
Position, as described below.The difference of this and enlarging function is that enlarging function only expands each corresponding word at the same rate
Interval between symbol and character, as described further below.Then touch-screen display 104 shows newer extension content.
Correspondingly, user can interact with extension content to be accurately located cursor now.
In general, any function in functionality described herein can by using software, firmware, hardware (for example,
Fixed logic circuit system), the combinations of manual handle or these embodiments implemented.Term as used herein " mould
Block ", " function ", " component " and " logic " typically represent software, firmware, hardware or a combination thereof.In the feelings of Software Implementation
Under condition, module, function, component either logical representation executed on processor (for example, CPU or multiple CPU) or by this at
Manage the program code that particular task is executed when device executes.Program code can be stored in one or more computer-readable storage
In device device.
The Example Operating Environment of each embodiment can be utilized by having been described, and be considered now according to one or more reality
Example discussion is applied based on touch input and the dynamic space of display content progress is extended.
Show the dynamic space extension of content
A kind of technological trend is to push the function of increasing in device, while reducing the profile factor or size of device.With
The size for device reduces, and corresponding display also reduces.When the size of display screen reduces, device can show content by reduction
Quantity or reduce and show that the size of content compensates smaller screen size.In the feelings of the device comprising touch-screen display
Under condition, the screen size of reduction influences how to receive or explain the accuracy of the input via touch-screen display sometimes.
Each embodiment is in response to receiving touch input to carry out spatial spread to the subset for showing content, this is to emphasizing
Each respective element of subset is effective.In some cases, spatial spread increases from the distance being initially displayed in subset
Display distance between each respective element, can more accurately position a cursor in subset thereby using family.
In order to further illustrate consideration Fig. 2, Fig. 2 includes mobile device 102 and user hand 106 from Fig. 1.Herein, it moves
The display text character string 202 on touch-screen display of dynamic device 102.A part for text is selected by the finger of user to be inserted into
Cursor.It is to be understood that the selection of the insertion point to cursor in text-string can be associated with the action of any suitable type.
For example, user may want to editor, add character, initiation duplication, shearing or the paste operation etc. in either deletion character string.
It can be interacted with touch-screen display using the gesture of any suitable type, such as, pin and keep gesture, gently sweep stopping hand
Gesture, double-click gesture, click gesture, power touch gestures etc..When receiving input gesture, the mark of modular device 102 and cursor are fixed
Position acts associated gesture.
When the surface of the finger of user and touch-screen display connects, the finger and hand of user visually make in display
That holds is at least partly fuzzy so that user is difficult to know action (being cursor location action herein) being accurately applied to text character
String 202 in where.Further, the pressing of finger or surface contact covering ratio are being comprised in text-string
It is spaced big display area between character in 202.
For example, it is contemplated that such a case, user it is expected the light of the interval between " i " and " n " of word " During "
Mark insertion point.Sometimes, the interval between the character in text-string can be different from each other.It is referred to as this of character-spacing adjustment
Technology adjusts the interval between independent alphabetical form to complete visually satisfactory result based on hovering etc..Correspondingly,
This causes the non-homogeneous horizontal interval between letter to change.Herein, using character-spacing adjustment come by text-string 202
In letter spacing open.As a result, the size at interval between small letter " i " and small letter " n " in text-string 202
Other intervals (such as, the interval between " y " and " n " in " years ", between " n " and " g " in " During "
Interval etc.) compared to relatively small.Correspondingly, interval of the selection between " i " and " n " may be more difficult, because compared to larger
Distance, smaller distance is more difficult to select.Although above example describes the non-uniform spacing between character,
Solution, in the case where not departing from the range of required theme, techniques described herein can be between character it is uniform between
Every combined use.
In spite of being used for non-uniform spacing, each embodiment be responsive to receive touch input extending or
Person increases between the level between the element in the subset (such as, the character subset in text-string 202) of display content
Every.Specifically, when receiving touch input, subset is identified based on touch input.In this example, pass through subset area
204 identify subset.Subset area can be limited using any suitable technology.For example, subset area can correspond to connect
Touch the true form (for example, touching the practical trace of contact) in region.Alternatively or in addition, predetermined shape can be used
Subset area is limited, such as, the subset area around point (such as, contacting barycenter) for being located in approximation or detecting.This
Place, subset area 204 is the predetermined shape (circle) for having predefined size (diameter 206).However, it is therefore to be understood that it is wanted not departing from
In the case of the range for the theme asked, any shape or size can be used.It is possible to further the print based on contact area
Mark in any suitable manner, such as, by determining central point, leftmost side point, rightmost side point etc., to determine subset area 204
Position or positioning.Subset area 204 covers or includes the subset of character " uring ".Although should be noted that " u " and " g " no
It is completely contained in subset area 204, but includes at least part of each character.Therefore, in some embodiments, such as
A part for fruit character is fallen in subset area, then character can be included in character subset.In other embodiments, it only examines
Consider the character entirely fallen in contact area to be included in character subset.
It continues the example presented above, considers that Fig. 3, Fig. 3 include the text-string 202 from Fig. 2 now.It recalls, responds
In receiving touch input, the subset of text-string 202 (" uring ") is identified to via subset area 204.The subset
Each respective symbols there is the corresponding interval between character late in oneself and subset.For example, " u " and " r " has
There are interval 302 (n-2) therebetween, " r " and " i " that there are 302 (n-1) of interval, " i " and " n " to have interval 302n, " n " and " g "
With 302 (n+1) of interval, and " g " and " t " has 302 (n+2) of interval.Herein, (n-2), (n-1), (n), (n+1) are used
The representation of (n+2) identifies corresponding interval relative to the position being currently inserted into a little.For example, in the son of text-string 202
The interval 302n of concentration is currently inserted into a little based on subset area 204 to identify, and is spaced 302 (n-1) marks and is being currently inserted into a little
First insertion position on the left side, interval 302 (n+1) marks are in the first insertion point etc. for being currently inserted into the right.In this example,
Interval 302n is identified as the interval closest to the center of subset area.However, this is only for the purpose of explanation, and want
Solution, can identify and be currently inserted into a little associated interval, such as, left-most position and contact zone in any suitable manner
Domain, right-most position etc. in the contact areas.
Spatial spread is applied to the subset of elements in showing content to contribute to by extending in phase by some embodiments
The white space around element is answered to emphasize each respective element.Consider text-string 304, text character string 304 is to answer
The example of the spatial spread of character subset for the above-mentioned mark in subset area 204.Herein, it is only contained in the son of mark
White space between the element of concentration is changed, and the remainder for showing content and the phase in the subset of mark
Answer character still as shown in preceding.It is empty that extension is further identified by using representation identical with representation used above
Between (for example, interval 306 (n-2) correspond to interval 302 (n-2) extended version, interval 306 (n-1) correspond to interval 302 (n-
1) extended version etc.) this is emphasized.Herein, by each spatial spread between character to evenly sized (example
Such as, be spaced 306 (n-2), interval 306 (n-1), interval 306n, interval 306 (n+1) and interval 306 (n+2) all have it is identical greatly
It is small).However, this is only for the purpose of explanation, and it is to be understood that, in the case where not departing from the range of required theme,
The size of extending space can be heterogeneous.The each white space of horizontal extension can not only enhance between each character
Isolation, and can in addition expand each potential insertion point.Accordingly, due to the increase of gap size, user can be more accurately
Select insertion point.
In order to further illustrate considering Fig. 4, Fig. 4 includes sample text character string 402, sample text character string 404 and show
Example text-string 406.Sample text character string 402 represents fundamental line text character when being initially displayed on the display apparatus
String, such as, the text-string 202 of Fig. 2.Herein, sample text character string 402 is including word " Example " and with arbitrary word
Body size occurs.For certain font size, letter and interval have predefined size or length.In this example, in word
It is the height of Y that small letter " e " in " Example ", which has size, is designated as height 408 herein, and small letter " e " with it is previous
It is the length of X that interval between character (for example, message " l " in word " Example "), which has size, is designated as growing herein
Degree 410.By using interval length to height ratio, can be denoted as：
Sample text character string 404 is considered now.The representative of sample text character string 404 passes through character " ple " subset
It is performed the text-string of amplifieroperation.Herein, subset has been extended factor 2X.It is answered when that will amplify or expand operation
When for character subset, it will be enlarged by the factor or amplification factor be applied integrally to subset (for example, will be enlarged by the factor while being applied to
Character in subset and interval).This can pass through the small letter in sample text character string 404 of the inspection with 2Y sizes
The height 412 of " e " and see.Equally, the length 414 for representing the interval between small letter " e " and character before it has 2X
Size.Therefore, the measurement of interval and character has all increased same factors.Although horizontal interval between " l " and " e " is big
It is small to have doubled, but also there are respective symbols, to reduce the validity of extension white space, because of interval length to height ratio
It remains unchanged：
On the other hand, spatial spread is applied to the same subsets of character " ple " by sample text character string 406.As
The case where sample text character string 402, is the same, and the height of small letter " e " has size " Y ", is designated as height 416 herein.So
And the interval between small letter " e " and adjacent character (small letter " l ") has increased to 3.5X sizes, is designated as length herein
418.In sample text character string 406, spatial spread only influences the horizontal interval between character, and character itself keeps size
It is identical as the size being initially displayed.Herein, spatial spread increases in the case where the size of adjacent character is not extended to interval
Add the size at interval.This and discussed about sample text character string 404 amplification or expansion action difference be, amplification or
Person expands only increases identical quantity by interval and character.In order to be compared, the identical of sample text character string 406 is grown tall
Become than measurement：
In fact, the spatial spread applied to text-string 406 passes through with more than applied to (more around interval
It is a) factor of the factor of the height of character increases the interval to create the length for being more than the sample text character string 402 being initially displayed
Height is than (herein, since the height of character will not increase, this is equivalent to the factor " 1 " of application).Correspondingly, this is created for user
" target " or selected element of ratio amplification " target " or selected element bigger that either expansion action is generated relative to character.
For simplicity, sample text character string 404 and sample text character string 406 have individually been discussed to further illustrate
Difference.However, in some embodiments, can be enlarged to showing the subset of content and spatial spread.For example, can be first
Expand subset such as to be illustrated relative to sample text character string 404, spatial spread, such as, phase then are carried out to subset
Sample text character string 406 is illustrated, leads to that character height is 2Y and gap length is 7X.
A challenge associated with spatial spread is to keep the available display area with shown and extension region flat
Weighing apparatus.Consider Fig. 5, Fig. 5, which is illustrated, will be displayed on the text-string in the mobile device 102 of Fig. 1 502.It usually can see,
The size of shown character " this is a long text string " in text-string 502 crosses over display
The horizontal length of device.It now considers the situation in which, the subset by character " long " is defeated by (associated with spatial spread)
Enter gesture and is applied to touch-screen display.Extend interval between character " l " and " o ", " o " and " n " and " n " and " g " and
Interval between word " long " and " a " and " long " and " text " is potentially separate by the revision of text-string 502
The horizontal boundary of the display of mobile device 102 extends.
In order to compensate for the longer size of the character string comprising spatial spread character subset, some embodiments reduce text character
The size of other character subsets in string.For example, text-string 504 illustrates in the subset of character " long " there is space to expand
Open up the version of the text-string 502 at the interval in space.Text-string 504 further includes subset 506 (for example, " This ") and son
Collect 508 (for example, " string ").In order to make text-string 504 all suitable for display, subset is shown with the size of reduction
506 and subset 508.In the case where not departing from the range of required theme, any suitable reduction can be applied.Herein,
Each character in its respective subset is reduced by using the identical factor.It is also possible, however, to use other
Technology.For example, some embodiments can use successively decrease reduction, wherein the reduction factor and respective symbols of each character of subset
Degree close to display edge is proportional.Therefore, when being closer to display edge by character locating, reduction technology of successively decreasing
Cause to reduce and occur.
When spatial spread is applied to subset, some embodiments visually block text-string.As above-mentioned
Situation is the same, and text-string 510 has carried out spatial spread to the interval being included in the subset of character " long ".Due to
Interval in the subset of character " long " is extended, which becomes the priority area on display, that is, it becomes excellent
The extension content being first suitable on display.Therefore, as space is extended, visually block be unsuitable for display from the area
The farthest character in domain.In this example, letter " T " is visually blocked from subset 512 and alphabetical " g " is visually from subset
514 block.
Interval or insertion point of the spatial spread between the element in showing content are extended.In above-mentioned example
In, display content is from left to right crossed in a horizontal manner.However, in some embodiments, spatial spread vertically extends sky
Between, such as, when it includes the character for the language write from top to bottom rather than from left to right from character to show content, or work as
When text is advanced in vertical direction.Herein, the interval between vertical extensible element.In another embodiment, content can be set
It is set to the matrix for including rows and columns, such as, icon matrices on the screen.In this case, hanging down between icon
Straight and horizontal interval can be extended, and icon itself keeps identical size.Therefore, spatial spread is further emphasized mutual
Element, increases the size at the interval between element, and allows more accurately to select content or insertion point.
Fig. 6 illustrates the flow chart of step of the description in the method according to one or more embodiment.Method can be with
By any suitable hardware, software, firmware or a combination thereof execution.In at least some embodiments, the aspect of method can be by
One or more appropriately configured software module (such as, the input mark module 112 and/or expansion module 114 of Fig. 1) is real
It applies.
Step 600 shows content on the display apparatus.Step 602 receives associated defeated with to the display selection of content
Enter.In some embodiments, input is received via with the user that touch-screen display is physically contacted.It can receive any
The input of suitable type, the example of the input provided above.When receiving input, step 604 is automatically defeated by what is received
Inlet identity is associated with the spatial spread of content.Such as, in some cases it may it will be inserted into cursor action and space automatically
Extension is associated.
In response to receiving input, content subset of step 606 mark in display content, such as, in text-string
In character subset.This can realize in any suitable manner, as further described above.In some cases, lead to
Region of the mark in the display content comprising subset is crossed, such as, by using predetermined shape or is located in display content
Or the shape of the trace associated with input (that is, (multiple) contact point on touch-screen display) of surrounding, to determine
Subset.In some embodiments, the positioning of shape can be identified using input, such as, by identifying central point to position week
