In order to better understand the technical solution, the technical solution will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a display method applied to an electronic device, such as a conventional tablet computer, a large-sized tablet computer, or other electronic devices supporting multi-user and multi-directional operations. The electronic device comprises a display unit.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a display method in the present embodiment, the method includes:
step 101: displaying a first operation area on a display unit, wherein M first operation objects are arranged on the first operation area, and M is an integer greater than or equal to 1;
step 102: when the first operation is detected and obtained, responding to the first operation, and selecting an ith first operation object from M first operation objects, wherein i is any integer between 1 and M;
step 103: determining a second operation area and N second operation objects based on the ith first operation object; wherein the second operating region is different from the first operating region;
step 104: and displaying N second operation objects on the second operation area, wherein when the N second operation objects are displayed on the second operation area, the N second operation objects respectively correspond to a first sub-operation area, each first sub-operation area is provided with a reference point, the connecting line of the N reference points is a curve, the rules for determining the reference points on each first sub-operation area are the same, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
In step 101, a first operation area is displayed, where the operation area may be circular, rectangular, oval, or in other shapes, M first operation objects are arranged on the first operation area, and the first operation objects may specifically be an upper menu, that is, a parent menu or a main menu, and may also be folders or files.
Further, the step 101 may be executed to display the first operation area on the display unit when the electronic device is powered on, or display the first operation area on the display unit through a trigger operation after the electronic device is powered on, for example, the first operation area is in a hidden state, and the first operation area is activated and displayed on the display unit when a user clicks on an edge area of the display unit with a finger, or display the first operation area when an external electronic device is connected to the electronic device, which is not limited in this application.
After step 101, the first operation area is displayed on the display unit, the electronic device performs step 102, detects whether there is a first operation, for example, whether there is at least one of M first operation objects in the operation body or cursor point, and if the first operation is detected, selects one of the M first operation objects in the operation body point, for example, the ith first operation object, i is any integer between 1 and M, in response to the first operation.
When the user selects the ith first operation object, it indicates that the user wants to view or operate the lower menu or the lower file corresponding to the ith first operation object, so that it is determined at what position of the display unit to display the lower menu or the lower file, and what the second operation object corresponding to the ith first operation object is, so that step 103 is performed.
In this embodiment, step 103 specifically determines a second operation area based on the display position and the display direction of the ith first operation object on the display unit, where the second operation area is used to carry N second operation objects, such as the lower menu or the lower file as described above.
Specifically, the display position may be obtained by coordinates of the ith first operation object on the display unit, and the display direction may be determined by an included angle relationship between a straight line between the coordinates and the reference point and the reference edge, or an angle offset from a reference point, and of course, the display position and the display direction of the ith first operation object on the display unit may also be determined in other ways in a specific implementation process, which is not limited in this application.
Then, a second operation area is determined based on the display position and the display direction of the ith first operation object on the display unit, for example, the position, the direction and the size of the second operation area can be determined.
Next, step 104 is executed, namely, N second operation objects are displayed on the second operation area, specifically, for example, the steps include: determining N reference points; determining a track, wherein the track corresponds to the curve; aligning the N reference points with the track; and displaying N second operation objects.
In a specific implementation, the N reference points are determined, for example, according to a predetermined rule, such as selecting center points of the N second operation objects as the reference points, or selecting at least one point on a boundary of the second operation object as the reference point.
Determining a trajectory, which corresponds to the curve, so that the trajectory must be a curve, and the determination of the trajectory may be determined according to a predetermined rule, such as a circular arc trajectory or a zigzag trajectory, and preferably, the shape of the trajectory corresponds to the shape of the first operation area, such that the first operation area is a circle, so that the trajectory is determined as a circular arc; for another example, if the first operating region is rectangular, the trajectory may be determined to be a dogleg shape, so that the consistency of the product design may be maintained.
When the track is determined, the N reference points are aligned with the track, i.e., the reference points are all arranged on the track.
Then displaying N second operation objects, wherein the N second operation objects respectively correspond to a first sub-operation area, correspondingly, each first sub-operation area is provided with a reference point, and the connecting line of the N reference points is a curve and corresponds to the track.
Of course, in other embodiments, the step 104 may also determine the trajectory first and then determine the reference point, which is not limited herein.
Further, the rule for determining the reference point on each first sub-operation area is the same, and similarly, for example, the center point of each first sub-operation area; or the point on each first sub-operational area that is farthest or closest to the center of the first operational area.
In a further embodiment, the display direction of the q-th second operation object in the N second operation objects is consistent with the display direction of the i-th first operation object; wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and q is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N.
If in step 103, specifically, the second operation region is determined based on the display position and the display direction of the ith first operation object on the display unit, when the first operation region is located at the first position of the display unit, the display position of the ith first operation object is the first display position, and the display direction of the ith first operation object is the first display direction; when the first operation area is located at the second position of the display unit, the display position of the ith first operation object is the second display position, the display direction of the ith first operation object is the second display direction, and the first display direction is different from the second display direction.
Specifically, the display direction of the q-th second operation object in the N second operation objects coincides with the display direction of the i-th first operation object, for example, the q-th second operation object and the i-th first operation object are offset by the same angle with respect to a reference point.
In an embodiment, the location of the qth second operation object is the center of the second operation area, and the other second operation objects are symmetrically distributed on two sides by taking the qth second operation object as the center; of course, in other embodiments, the qth second operation object may be located at the start position or the end position of the second operation region.
In order to facilitate a clearer understanding of the implementation of the methods in the embodiments of the present application, the following detailed description is given by way of specific examples and accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 2a, the electronic device includes a display unit 20, and based on step 101, for example, after the electronic device is turned on, a first operation area 201 is displayed on the display unit 20, where 7 first operation objects are arranged on the first operation area 201, in this embodiment, the first operation area is illustrated as a circular shape, and in other embodiments, the first operation area may also be an ellipse, a rectangle, or another shape; the first operation objects are specifically exemplified by photos, application stores, applications, games, education, music, and videos, and the first operation objects include folders, such as photos and music, and navigation menu items, such as applications.
Next, for example, if the user wants to browse the photo, the user may select the first operation object, i.e., the first operation object 202, corresponding to the photo by using a finger or a stylus, or by using a mouse, at this time, the electronic device performs step 102 to select the first operation object 202, specifically, the first operation object may be selected by highlighting or sinking, and then the user may know that the first operation object is selected.
Next, step 103 is executed, namely, a second operation area and N second operation objects are determined based on the first operation object 202.
Specifically, for example, the second operation region is determined based on the display position and the display direction of the first operation object 202 on the display unit 20, the coordinate value of the center of the first operation object 202 may be directly obtained for obtaining the display position of the first operation object 202, and the direction in which the center of the first operation object 202 points to the center (e.g., the center) of the first operation region 201 may be the display direction of the first operation object 202 for obtaining the display direction, and then the second operation region is determined based on the display position and the display direction, and in one embodiment, the position of the center point of the second operation region may be determined specifically based on the display position and the display direction, the center point being, for example, on the extended line from the center of the circle to the center of the first operation object 202, and further, the second operation region may be set, for example, to be displayed in close proximity to the first operation region 201, and then the specific position of the center of the second operation region may be determined by the preset width of the second operation region, the second operating region can be determined. That is, in the case where the width of the second operation region is determined, regardless of the position of the display unit to which the first operation region 201 is moved or the direction in which the first operation object 202 is directed, the second operation region can be determined based on the display position and the display direction of the first operation object 202.
Then, step 104 is executed, that is, N second operation objects are displayed on the second operation area, specifically, referring to fig. 2b, 9 second operation objects 204 are arranged on the second operation area 203, where the 9 second operation objects 204 are the first operation objects 202, for example, photos in a photo folder. As can be seen from fig. 2b, the second operation region 203 has a fan shape, wherein a dotted line with an arrow indicates the display direction of the first operation object 202, the center of the second operation region 203 is located on the dotted line, and the second operation region 203 is symmetrical according to the axis of symmetry of the dotted line; the display direction of the q-th second operation object in the second operation object 204 is the same as the display direction of the first operation object 202, in this embodiment, the q-th second operation object is the second operation object 205, the center of the second operation object 205 is also the center of the second operation area 203, and the center of the first operation object 202 and the center of the second operation object 205 are aligned.
Referring again to fig. 2c, when the first operation region 201 is located at the first position of the display unit 20, for example, the position of fig. 2b to the second position of fig. 2c, for example, from the first position to the second position, the first operating area 201 is rotated clockwise by 30 degrees, the position is moved from the left to the right in fig. 2b by a certain distance, in the present embodiment, since the display position and the display direction of the first operation object 202 are changed, the display direction is obviously rotated by 30 degrees clockwise, and the coordinate value is changed, then the second operation region 203 is also changed due to the display position and the display direction of the first operation object 201, whereas the display position and the display direction on the display unit 20 are changed, as can be seen from fig. 2c, the second manipulation area 203 is also rotated clockwise by 30 degrees, while the display orientation of the second operand 205 remains the same as the display orientation of the first operand 202.
Referring to fig. 3, when N second operation objects are displayed on the second operation area 203, each of the N second operation objects corresponds to a first sub-operation area 206, each of the first sub-operation areas 206 has a reference point, a connection line of the N reference points is a curve, in fig. 3, the curve 207 is a circular arc concentric with the first operation area 201, and the reference point is a point on each of the first sub-operation areas 206 farthest from the center of the first operation area 201. In the present embodiment, the N first sub-operation regions 206 are integrally shaped like a sector ring.
Referring to fig. 4 again, when N second operation objects are displayed on the second operation area 203, each of the N second operation objects corresponds to a first sub-operation area 206, in this embodiment, each of the first sub-operation areas 206 is a circular area with an equal radius, each of the first sub-operation areas 206 has a reference point, a connection line of the N reference points is a curve, in fig. 4, the curve 207 is a circular arc concentric with the first operation area 201, and the reference point is a point on each of the first sub-operation areas 206 farthest from a center of the first operation area 201. The circular arc is inscribed within each first sub-operational area 206.
Next, with continuing reference to fig. 5, when N second operation objects are displayed on the second operation area 203, each of the N second operation objects corresponds to a first sub-operation area 206, in this embodiment, each of the first sub-operation areas 206 is a rectangular area, each of the first sub-operation areas 206 has two reference points, that is, two vertices 208 of the first sub-operation area 206, and one vertex of the two vertices 208 of two adjacent first sub-operation areas 206 coincides, a connecting line of the N reference points is a curved line, and in fig. 4, the curved line 207 is an arc concentric with the first operation area 201.
Further, in fig. 3, 4 and 5, the reference point may be a point on the first sub manipulation region 206 closest to the center of the first manipulation region 201, or may be a center point of the first sub manipulation region 206, and the curve 207 may be an arc concentric with the first manipulation region 201.
Of course, further, in fig. 3 to 5, the reference points are connected by arcs, so that the curve 207 is an arc, and if the reference points are connected by straight lines, the curve 207 is a zigzag.
Next, referring to fig. 6, in the present embodiment, the first operating area 201 is a rectangular area, and correspondingly, the second operating area 203 is a zigzag area. When the N second operation objects are displayed on the second operation area 203, each of the N second operation objects corresponds to a first sub-operation area 206, in this embodiment, each of the first sub-operation areas 206 is a circular area with an equal radius, each of the first sub-operation areas 206 has a reference point 208, a connection line of the N reference points is a curve 207, in fig. 6, the curve 207 is a broken line, and the reference point 208 is a central point on each of the first sub-operation areas 206.
In a further embodiment, the distance between the curve and the outer boundary of the first operation region 201 satisfies a predetermined condition, which specifically, for example, ensures that when N second operation objects are displayed on the second operation region, the first sub-operation regions corresponding to the N second operation objects do not overlap with the first operation region 201.
In another embodiment, a specific example of the predetermined condition is that when N second operation objects are displayed in the second operation region, in addition to the first sub-operation regions corresponding to the N second operation objects, a second sub-operation region may be formed between the first operation region 201 and the first sub-operation region, and the second sub-operation region is used for displaying L third operation objects, where the step of displaying the L third operation objects may be performed at step 104, may be performed after step 103 and before step 104, and may be performed after step 104, and L is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
Referring to fig. 7, the second sub-operation region 209 is located between the first operation region 201 and the first sub-operation region 206, and in the present embodiment, it is assumed that 8 third operation objects, i.e. a to I, are arranged on the second sub-operation region 209, for example, a third operation object 210; the second sub operation region 209 can display at most 5 third operation objects at a time.
At the time of initial display, the second operation objects displayed on the first sub-operation region 206 are displayed in a random display manner, for example, or are displayed in order.
In a specific implementation, the second operation object is the first operation object 202, for example, a photo in a photo folder. And the third operation object is the first operation object 202, a subfolder in the photo folder, which is an index item of the second operation object. In the present embodiment, at the time of initial display, the second operation objects in the first sub-operation region 206 are displayed in the order of the third operation object, and are displayed in the order of the second operation object corresponding to the third operation object, as shown in fig. 7, the first third operation object is the third operation object a, and the first 5 th operation objects arranged in the folder a are the second operation object a1 to the second operation object a 5. Further, in fig. 7, since the number of the second operation objects in the folder a is only 5 and thus the display position on the second operation area 203 is not sufficiently occupied, the second operation objects B1 through B2 corresponding to the third operation object B are continuously displayed immediately.
In fig. 7, the third operation object and the second operation object are displayed in the counterclockwise direction, but may be displayed in the clockwise direction in actual use.
Therefore, by the method in this embodiment, when one first operation object is selected, two operation areas related to the first operation object are popped up, and each operation area has a corresponding operation object, so that it is not necessary for a user to go to a point twice, and the electronic device responds to one operation as long as the operation is received, and pops up two operation areas at one time, thereby improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction.
Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the L third operation objects on the second sub-operation area are specifically index items of the N second operation objects, so that after one first operation object is clicked, the method in this embodiment may pop up index items of the second operation object and the second operation object at the same time, that is, may present two levels of menus at the same time, so that an organization structure between the operation objects may be completely embodied, and it is convenient for the electronic device to manage the operation objects, and at the same time, it is convenient for the user to use, for example, when the number of the second operation objects is very large, the user may search according to the index items, and does not need to spend a lot of time in the numerous second operation objects to search.
In a further embodiment, when the jth third operation object is selected, the display of the second operation object is adjusted, so that the second operation object corresponding to the jth third operation object is displayed in the second operation area, that is, the display state of the second operation object can be changed by clicking the third operation object. Specifically, for example, in fig. 7, when the user clicks and selects the third operation object C, the second operation object corresponding to the third operation object C is changed from the hidden state in fig. 7 to the display state, and is displayed in the first sub-operation region.
In another embodiment, when the third operation object displayed in the second sub operation region is adjusted through a trigger operation, such as a sliding operation, the second operation object displayed in the second operation region is not changed, that is, the third operation object displayed in the second sub operation region is changed without bringing about linkage of the first sub operation region, please refer to fig. 7, for example, when the second sub operation region 209 is slid from top to bottom, the third operation object a is hidden, the third operation object F is displayed on the second sub operation region 209, but the second operation object displayed in the first sub operation region 206 is still as shown in fig. 7 without any change, so that the problem of poor system performance caused by loading of a large number of files in the first sub operation region can be avoided.
