It should be noted that, in the information display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the execution main body may be an electronic device, or a Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the electronic device, or a control module in the electronic device for executing the information display method. The embodiment of the invention takes an electronic device executing an information display method as an example, and explains the information display method provided by the embodiment of the invention.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention may be an electronic device having an operating system. The operating system may be an Android (Android) operating system, an ios operating system, or other possible operating systems, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited in particular.

The following describes a software environment to which the information display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied, by taking an android operating system as an example.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a possible android operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the android operating system includes 4 layers, which are respectively: an application layer, an application framework layer, a system runtime layer, and a kernel layer (specifically, a Linux kernel layer).

The application program layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third-party application programs) in an android operating system.

The application framework layer is a framework of the application, and a developer can develop some applications based on the application framework layer under the condition of complying with the development principle of the framework of the application. For example, applications such as a system setup application, a system chat application, and a system camera application. And the third-party setting application, the third-party camera application, the third-party chatting application and other application programs.

The system runtime layer includes libraries (also called system libraries) and android operating system runtime environments. The library mainly provides various resources required by the android operating system. The android operating system running environment is used for providing a software environment for the android operating system.

The kernel layer is an operating system layer of an android operating system and belongs to the bottommost layer of an android operating system software layer. The kernel layer provides kernel system services and hardware-related drivers for the android operating system based on the Linux kernel.

Taking an android operating system as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the information display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the android operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the information display method may operate based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. Namely, the processor or the electronic device can implement the information display method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The following describes in detail an information display method provided by an embodiment of the present invention with reference to a flowchart of the information display method shown in fig. 2. Wherein, although a logical order of information display methods provided by embodiments of the present invention is illustrated in method flow diagrams, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in an order different than here. For example, the information display method shown in fig. 2 may include S201 and S202:

s201, the electronic equipment receives a first input of a user for a first object.

Alternatively, the first object may be an object displayed on a screen of the electronic device, such as a function control (e.g., a shortcut or a setting option of a function), notification information, an icon of an application, an area in the screen for triggering setting of some functions (e.g., setting a brightness parameter of the screen), and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention. For example, the first object is a function control (i.e., a switch of a function, a personalized setting entry of a function, etc.) in a pull-down menu displayed on the main interface by the electronic device, or an icon of a communication application displayed on a desktop, etc.

The first input may be input by the user to the first object or input to the area where the first object is located. Illustratively, where the first object is an icon of an application, the first input is an input to the first object. In the case where the first object is a functionality control (e.g., a switch option of a mobile network) in the main interface, the first input may be an input to an area where the functionality control is located.

It is understood that the first input matches the preset input, i.e. the first input is the same as the preset input, or has a similarity greater than or equal to a certain threshold (e.g. 80%). In addition, the first input is different from a conventional input operating the first object. For example, in the case where the first object is an icon of an application, the first input is different from a normal input for opening the application, such as a press input for the icon for a preset press duration, and the normal input is a click input for the icon. In the case that the first object is a function control (e.g., a switch option of a mobile network) in the main interface, the first input is different from an input of a user for opening the function control, for example, the first input is a press input for the function control for a preset press duration, and the normal input is a click input for the function control.

Illustratively, the functions provided by the embodiments of the present invention can be divided into: there is no function of the user interaction area on the electronic device and a function of the area with user interaction on the electronic device.

The functions of the user interaction area are not used, the user is generally served at the background of the electronic equipment, and the user cannot manually adjust the functions, such as intelligent sequencing of notification information, intelligent music recommendation and the like.

The function of the user interaction area is provided, and generally, a user interaction interface is provided in the foreground of the electronic device, and the function supports manual adjustment of a user, such as a brightness adjustment function or a volume adjustment function.

In addition, for some functions in the user interaction area, if the user does not trigger the electronic device to set the function in the user interaction area of a certain function for a period of time, the electronic device automatically and intelligently adjusts (or sets) the function according to the operating environment of the electronic device. For example, if the user does not set a brightness progress bar in the pull-down menu on the desktop for a long time, the electronic device may automatically adjust the brightness of the screen of the electronic device according to the ambient brightness of the location of the electronic device, and other factors.

Further, optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, for a setting option of a function in the area without user interaction (for example, a setting option for performing an opening operation, a closing operation, or other operations on the function), the electronic device may provide a unified smart function list in the setting application program, so as to uniformly manage and set the functions. Therefore, the user can check, set and operate one or more functions without the user interaction area in the intelligent function list, and the user can check and operate the functions conveniently.

In addition, the intelligent function list may include not only setting options for setting functions of areas without user interaction, but also profiles and main setting options of functions of areas with user interaction, which are frequently used by some users.

Optionally, for a function having a user interaction area, the electronic device may trigger, through a specific input (e.g., the first input), an interface displaying contents including a function profile, a setting option, and the like of the function on the interaction area of the function, so as to avoid a conflict with a normal function. For example, the user interaction area of the brightness adjustment function may be a brightness adjustment progress bar commonly used in a pull-down menu of the electronic device. Wherein, the user's long press input on the brightness adjustment progress bar, or the continuous quick click (such as the first input) on the effective area of the non-adjustment function in the area where the brightness adjustment progress bar is located, may trigger the electronic device to display the entry of the setting interface including the brightness adjustment function. The following steps are repeated: a particular input (e.g., a first input) by the user to an application may trigger the electronic device to display on the screen a setting option for setting the permissions of the application, such as a setting option whether the application is allowed to use the mobile network.

The user can obviously perceive the functions with the user interaction area, and the user can know, operate or set the functions through the interaction area. Specifically, the user may perform setting for a trigger input (e.g., a first input) of a function having a user interaction area through the following (1), (2), and (3).

(1) The user controls the electronic device to collect a set entry for some function, such as an entry for a profile for that function or a main set option for that function.

(2) The user control electronic device counts conventional inputs (i.e. inputs for triggering execution of corresponding functions) corresponding to some functions, and designs a unified specific input (i.e. the first input) according to the conventional inputs. The design principle is as follows: the specific input does not conflict with, i.e., is different from, the conventional input of the function; the specific input is input with low probability of being used by the user, the input intention of the function of the electronic equipment required by the user can be clearly shown, and the probability of the user performing the specific input by mistake can be reduced.

For example, the preset input may be a region where a setting option (setting entry) is located, or a display region related to the function (the user sees the region and can think that the region is an action region of the intelligent function), and the number of clicks reaches a certain value within a certain time period, and the electronic device is triggered to display a setting interface related to the function.

(3) In particular, a user may trigger the electronic device to display information such as a setting interface and a profile of a function through a specific input (e.g., a first input) for the function.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving a first input of a user for a first object, the electronic device may determine whether the first input matches a preset input. That is, the electronic device may determine an input intention of a first input made by the user to the first object, such as determining whether the first input of the user is used to trigger the operation of the first object or displaying information of the first function.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, the setting options of sounds such as ring tones, media, notifications and alarm clocks displayed in a pull-down menu on the screen for the electronic device are set, that is, the setting options are setting options of a sound setting function. At this time, the user may trigger the electronic device to display the setting interface of the intelligent adjustment portion corresponding to the function through a first input (e.g., continuously clicking the area where the function is located, without conflicting with a conventional input that triggers execution of the function).

It should be noted that the screen of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be a touch screen, and the touch screen may be configured to receive an input from a user and display content corresponding to the input to the user in response to the input. The first input may be a touch screen input, a fingerprint input, a gravity input, a key input, or the like. The touch screen input is input such as a press input, a long press input, a slide input, a click input, a hover input (an input by a user near the touch screen) of a touch screen of the electronic device by the user. The fingerprint input is input by a user to a sliding fingerprint, a long-time pressing fingerprint, a single-click fingerprint, a double-click fingerprint and the like of a fingerprint recognizer of the electronic equipment. The gravity input is input such as shaking of the electronic equipment in a specific direction, shaking of the electronic equipment for a specific number of times and the like by a user. The key input corresponds to a single-click input, a double-click input, a long-press input, a combination key input, and the like, of a user for a key of a power key, a volume key, a Home key, and the like of the electronic device. Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the manner of the first input, and may be any realizable manner.

It is understood that the user can control the electronic device to display a setting interface of a function (e.g., a first function) through the first input to view setting options and profiles, etc. of the function. Wherein, the input mode of the first input may be different for different functions.

For example, in a case that the first object is a function control (e.g., a switch option of a mobile network) in the main interface, the first input may be that the user presses and holds an area where the function control is located, and lets the finger drag clockwise or counterclockwise within a certain range. Alternatively, the first input is a circle-drawing input on the screen by dragging a typical icon (e.g., an icon of a switch option of a mobile network) that can represent the function. The area where the function control of the function is dragged by the finger of the user or the typical icon of the function, and then the user moves on the screen, so that the first input is different from the conventional input for triggering and executing the corresponding function.

For example, the electronic device may detect a gesture of a finger of a user operating the screen, and a contact area of the finger with the screen is triggered to determine an input of the user, and set the input as the first input. Illustratively, the electronic equipment detects the contact surface of the finger of the user and the screen, judges the gesture of the finger of the user according to the shape of the contact surface, and judges the operation intention of the user by combining the currently operated function. An uncommon finger-operated gesture is selected as the first input to open the function.

It should be noted that, for the current function profile, the electronic device will generally only provide the user with the profile of the function when the user uses the function for the first time. And the profile of the function will not be known when the function is used again by a subsequent user.

It will be appreciated that embodiments of the present invention provide a unified way of inputting information to open a function from its concrete representation. For the requirement of knowing the function or operating the function (switch of the function, personalized setting entrance of the function), the user can open the interface only through one operation. When the user learns the operation, other functions can open the interface of the function operation through the mode, so that the user does not need to know the distance position of each function switch in the setting, and when the function switch needs to be opened, the function can be operated on the action area on the interface through the function, and the function can be opened.

S202, the electronic equipment responds to the first input and displays first information of the first function on the screen.

Wherein the first function is to set a second object associated with the first object.

Alternatively, the second object may be the first object itself, or the second object may be different from the first object.

Similarly, for the detailed description of the second object, reference may be made to the related description of the first object in the foregoing embodiments, and details are not repeated in the embodiments of the present invention.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first function is a function preset for the second object.

Illustratively, the first information includes a setting option of the first function.

It should be noted that the first function is generally a main setting option for setting the second object, that is, the first function may include a partial setting option for setting the second object.

Optionally, the first information is further used to indicate first prompt information, and the first prompt information is used to indicate a mode for setting the first function. Specifically, the manner of setting the first function may be information such as a function profile of the first function.

It should be noted that, currently, for some functions in the electronic device, the electronic device only presents profile information (such as information of execution results or information of setting steps) of the functions to the user when the functions are executed for the first time, and does not present corresponding profile information to the user when the functions are executed subsequently. Therefore, when the user uses the electronic equipment subsequently, the user cannot know the profile information of the function. For example, the electronic device may present information of the setting procedure of the authority setting function to the user only when the authority setting function of a certain application (denoted as application 1) is set for the first time. In comparison, in the embodiment of the invention, the electronic device can respond to the first input of the user and display the brief introduction of the first function on the screen, so that the man-machine interaction performance of the electronic device in the process of setting the function is improved.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, an operation diagram of a user according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided. In fig. 4 (a), the first input of the user to the WiFi control 41 is an input of a gesture in which the finger angle is biased to a certain angle. After the user makes a first input with respect to the WiFi control 41, the electronic device may display a first function corresponding to the WiFi control 41 in (b) of fig. 4, that is, a main setting option of the WiFi function. It will be appreciated that the user's click input to the WiFi control 41 in fig. 4 (a) may be a conventional input that triggers the electronic device to execute the WiFi control 41, i.e., an input that triggers the electronic device to connect WiFi. At this time, the WiFi control 41 is a first object, the second object is a setting option of the WiFi function, and the WiFi function is the first function. In addition, the electronic device in fig. 4 may display the first information, i.e., the main setting option of the second object, through the floating window.

Optionally, the second object may be a function control (e.g., a shortcut of a function or a setting option), notification information, an icon of an application, an area in the screen for triggering setting of some functions (e.g., setting a brightness parameter of the screen), and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Illustratively, in the case that the first object is notification information in an instant messaging application, the second object is the instant messaging program, and the first function is a function for setting a right of the instant messaging application, such as a function for setting whether to allow the electronic device to display a notification message in the instant messaging application on a screen, a function for setting whether to allow the electronic device to control the instant messaging application to perform a subsequent application refresh, and the like.

It can be understood that, a user generally requires the electronic device to display all setting options corresponding to a function, for example, the electronic device displays a setting interface corresponding to the function. In this case, the first object may be a function control, the second object may be other function controls associated with the function control, and the first function includes the function controls.

Specifically, after the electronic device receives a first input of a user for a first object (such as a function control or a setting option), the electronic device may determine whether an input area of the first input is a function area where the function control is located. If the input area of the first input is the function area where the function control is located, the electronic equipment judges whether the intention of the first input is the function per se; if the operation intention of the first input is judged to be not in conflict with the input of the trigger execution function and to be in accordance with the input event of the preset input, the electronic equipment displays the function corresponding to the function on the screen and opens the information of the brief introduction, the configuration and the like of the function.

Optionally, after the electronic device receives a first input by the user for a first object (e.g., a functionality control or a setting option), the electronic device may predict a functionality that the user needs to manipulate after performing the first input for the first object. In this way, the electronic device can display a setting option for setting the second object on the screen, so that the user can operate the function conveniently and quickly.

For example, the electronic device may define user-level inputs such as (1) connect wireless fidelity (WiFi), (2) turn on a flashlight, (3) adjust volume, (4) adjust brightness, (5) turn on a target application, (6) turn on flight mode, (7) operate within an application, (8) enter desktop, etc. Each user-level operation has an associated functional interface. Such as: turning on a flashlight, wherein the operation is related to a setting interface, such as a brightness adjusting interface and the like; at this time, the first object may be a switch option of a "flashlight" in the electronic device, and the first input is a click input of the switch option of the "flashlight" by the user. It can be understood that the input at the user level is more consistent with the input thought of the user, the redundant meaningless input in the middle is removed, and only the effective purpose of the input performed by the user is focused.

Specifically, when the user starts inputting to the electronic device, the electronic device may pre-judge the user purpose and provide a shortcut operation related to the pre-judged purpose. Such as: when a user triggers the electronic equipment to connect WiFi, the electronic equipment can suspend the suspension window through the configuration related to the WiFi, and when the region outside the suspension window is operated, the suspension window is withdrawn from the display.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, an operation diagram of a user according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided. In fig. 4 (a), the first input of the user to the WiFi control 41 is an input of a gesture in which the finger angle is biased to a certain angle. After the user makes a first input with respect to the WiFi control 41, the electronic device may display a first function corresponding to the WiFi control 41 in (b) of fig. 4, that is, a main setting option of the WiFi function. Specifically, the main setting options shown in (b) of fig. 4 include a wireless local area network switch option 42 and a plurality of network connection options 43 (including an option of network 1 and an option of network 2, etc.).

It is understood that the user's click input on the WiFi control 41 in (a) of fig. 4 may be a conventional input that triggers the electronic device to execute the WiFi control 41, i.e., an input that triggers the terminal to connect to WiFi. At this time, the WiFi control 41 is a first object, the second object includes setting options related to the WiFi control 41, and the WiFi function is a first function.

In addition, the electronic device in fig. 4 may display the first information, i.e., the main setting option of the second object, through the floating window.

It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention provides an information display method, which may trigger an electronic device to display first information of a first function on a screen through a first input for a first object; and the first function may be used to set a second object associated with the first object. Therefore, the electronic equipment can quickly and conveniently provide the first information aiming at the first function for the user according to the first input of the user, and the user does not need to input for multiple times in the setting application program to trigger the electronic equipment to display the first information of the first function. Therefore, the user can conveniently operate the first function according to the first information, and the process of setting the function of the electronic equipment can be simplified.

Optionally, in the information display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, S202 may be implemented by S202 a:

s202a, the electronic device displays the first information and the N first marks on the screen.

Wherein a first identifier is an entry of an application. The N application programs corresponding to the N first identifications are predefined or determined according to the object set by the first function, and N is a positive integer.

Alternatively, a first identifier may be an entry icon or shortcut for an application, etc.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the predefined application may be set for all objects in the electronic device, or preset for the second object.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the N application programs are predicted to obtain N application programs that may be subsequently used by the user according to the determination of the first function setting, specifically, according to the historical operation of the user and the current first input for the first object by the electronic device. For example, the electronic device predicts that the user may need to open a chat application, a music application, etc., and then treats these applications as N application programs, thereby obtaining N first identifiers.

The electronic device may execute a process of user input intention judgment to determine that the N applications and the N first identifiers are obtained when a first input of the user for the first object is received.

Specifically, when a user uses a certain function (e.g., a first function) to trigger a process of determining the input intention of the user, the first function currently input by the user is determined, and an application program which the user may need to operate next is predicted.

In addition, the electronic device may display the main setting option of the first function in the form of a floating window. In addition, the input of the user to other areas except the main setting options in the floating window can trigger the electronic device to enlarge the space of the setting interface so as to display a detailed setting interface of the first function on the screen, wherein the detailed setting interface comprises all the setting options for setting the first function. Illustratively, the floating window further comprises a pull-down control which can trigger the electronic device to enlarge the space of the setting interface so as to display the detailed setting interface of the first function on the screen.

Specifically, the electronic device may display main setting options of the first function on an upper half portion of the floating window, and display N first identifiers on a lower portion of the floating window.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4 (b) above, after receiving the first input, the electronic device may display an icon 44 of a video application and an icon 45 of a browser application, where the

icons

44 and 45 are both first identifiers, and N is equal to 2. In addition, the control 46 shown in fig. 4 (b) has a pull-down function, and the input of the user to the control 46 may trigger the electronic device to expand the space of the setting interface to display a detailed setting interface of the corresponding function on the screen.

Therefore, the electronic equipment can predict the application program required to be operated by the user according to the first input of the user and display the predicted first identification (such as a shortcut) of the application program on the screen, so that the electronic equipment is beneficial to quickly and conveniently controlling the application program required to be operated by the electronic equipment.

Optionally, in the information display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may obtain the history input set, for example, read the locally stored history input set, or obtain the history input set from other devices such as a server side. Wherein, a history input in the history input set corresponds to an input of an application program or corresponds to an input of a function. Specifically, the information display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further perform, before the above S202a, S203 to S205:

s203, the electronic device determines M first history inputs and K second history inputs from the history input set when detecting that the electronic device executes the first input and the input interface of the first input is a preset interface.

The first input is the same as M first historical inputs and K second historical inputs, M is a positive integer larger than or equal to N, and K is a positive integer.

S204, the electronic equipment obtains N application programs according to the application program corresponding to each first history input in the M first history inputs.

S205, the electronic equipment obtains a first function according to the function corresponding to each second history input in the K second history inputs.

Specifically, the electronic device pre-determines N applications according to the historical input of the user and the current operating environment (i.e., the input interface where the current input is located). For example, in a case where the user triggers the electronic device to connect to WiFi, the user may trigger the electronic device to open an application program that has a long last use time and a high requirement on network speed; when the user triggers the electronic equipment to download an application program, the user may trigger the electronic equipment to open the application program next step, when the desktop icons are more or the desktop icons have vacant positions, the downloaded icons of the new application program are not easy to search on the desktop, and the application program shortcut is recommended to facilitate the user to conveniently operate the application program; the method comprises the following steps that a user triggers the electronic equipment to open an application program for the first time, the electronic equipment can be controlled to carry out relevant setting on the application program possibly, and at the moment, the electronic equipment can recommend a setting option of the application program in the setting of the application program; when a user triggers the electronic equipment to open the settings related to the game application programs, the electronic equipment can recommend more application programs which are installed by the user or application programs which have functions similar to the application programs and are not installed to the user; after the user triggers the electronic device to execute the screen capture input, the user may control the electronic device to enter a recently pushed chat-type application program, and the electronic device may recommend a shortcut of the application program.

In addition, when the user triggers the electronic device to complete the WiFi connection operation, the electronic device can suspend the shortcut of the next prediction purpose. Such as: the electronic equipment can redisplay the shortcut of the application program operated by the user last time, the shortcut of the application program of the network frequently used by the user recently, the application program of the video class and the like needing the network on the screen, and the starting pictures of the application programs are taken as the shortcut to be suspended on the screen for the user to select.

Optionally, N is greater than or equal to 2. The N application programs are sorted according to a preset rule, and the display positions of the identifiers of the application programs which are sorted in the front are arranged in the front on the screen; wherein the preset rule comprises at least one of the following items: the number of first history inputs corresponding to the application, and the time of the first history inputs corresponding to the application.

Illustratively, the greater the number of first historical inputs corresponding to an application, the further forward the application is ranked. The smaller the difference between the time of the first historical input corresponding to the application and the current time, the earlier the application is ranked (e.g., the application that was most recently input by the user is ranked the earlier).

Optionally, the N application programs are top N application programs corresponding to the first input.

In this way, in a scenario where the user performs the current input for the first object, since the electronic device may predict one or more applications according to a historical input set, where the historical input set is an input set that is actually operated by the user and can reflect the actual operation habits of the user, the one or more applications predicted by the electronic device are applications that meet the user requirements. That is, the electronic device displays N first identifiers on the screen, which are identifiers of application programs required to be used by the user, so that the user can conveniently operate the application function programs.

Optionally, in the information display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, after S202, S206 and S207 may be further included:

s206, the electronic equipment receives a second input of the first information by the user.

For example, the description of the input mode of the second input may refer to the description related to the first input in the foregoing embodiment, and details of this embodiment of the present invention are not repeated.

For example, in a scenario in which the electronic device displays the first information through the floating interface, the second input may be a long press input by the user to an edge area (e.g., a blank area in the interface) of the interface other than the first information.

And S207, the electronic equipment responds to the second input and updates the interface displayed on the screen to the target setting interface.

The target setting interface is used for setting at least two functions, and the at least two functions comprise a first function.

It will be appreciated that the at least two functions described above may be all functions for the second object. For example, when the first object is a switch option of a flashlight, the second object is a screen brightness parameter, the first function is a brightness adjustment function, the first information includes a brightness adjustment progress bar, the at least two functions may include the brightness adjustment progress bar, a night view function, a screen lifting and waking function, and the like, and an interface where the at least two functions are located is a "display and brightness" setting interface.

Therefore, the function setting process of the electronic equipment is further simplified.

Further, optionally, the information display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include, after the step S202a, the steps S208 and S209:

s208, the electronic equipment receives a third input of the first identification from the user.

For example, the description of the input mode of the third input may refer to the description of the first input in the foregoing embodiment, and details of this embodiment of the present invention are not repeated. For example, the third input is a click input by the user to the second identifier.
