Description

Time display method of electronic equipment

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of interface interaction, in particular to a time display method of electronic equipment.

Background

The development of science and technology enables communication modes of people to be changed greatly, intelligent terminal products such as smart phones are continuously generated, and various application programs (apps) are continuously released, so that people can establish communication with family, colleagues and friends anytime and anywhere without being limited by distance.

However, in real life, some users, including but not limited to the elderly and children, are difficult to adapt to the technology development of the day and the night due to the lack of capability, difficult to adapt to the upgrading and upgrading of various communication means, and unable to be skilled in using the intelligent terminal and various communication apps, so that they may not be able to well establish communication with family and friends.

This situation is more evident in the following circumstances: young children work in large cities, while parents of their own ages, young children, may remain in a hometown that is far away. Even if a child purchases a smartphone and installs various communication apps and other apps for an old person, the old person often cannot normally operate the smartphone and the various internal apps, and thus cannot effectively establish communication with family and friends.

On the other hand, the technical route of the related communication technology and the related communication application software technology also takes place through a complex evolution process of many generations.

The communication system may provide fixed line connections or wireless connections for subscribers to communicate, such as voice or data communications. An example of a fixed line system is the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). One example of a wireless communication system is a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), and another example is a satellite-based mobile communication system. Wireless communication typically occurs via a radio frequency connection between a mobile station of a subscriber and at least one network element of the communication system. Communications within a network are typically, but not necessarily, handled using fixed line connections between different network elements. Communications may also be transmitted within a system that includes one or more data networks. An example of such communication is the voice over IP (internet protocol) scheme that enables voice calls over packet switched data networks.

A communication network is a cellular radio network consisting of access entities commonly referred to as cells. In most cases, a cell is defined as an area covered by one or more Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) that serve User Equipment (UE), such as a Mobile Station (MS), via a radio interface that may be connected to a Base Station Subsystem (BSS). Several cells cover a larger area and typically form a radio coverage area known as a Location Area (LA) or in some standards as a Routing Area (RA). It should be appreciated that the size of the location area or routing area depends on the system and environment and may be equal to one cell or less, such as a portion of the coverage area of a base station. One feature of cellular systems is that it provides mobility for mobile stations, i.e., enables mobile stations to move from one location area to another, and even from one network to another that is compatible with the standards to which the mobile station is adapted.

Wireless communication is a communication method using only electromagnetic waves without cables, and mainly includes microwave communication and satellite communication. Microwave is a radio wave that travels over distances typically of the order of tens of kilometers. However, the frequency band of the microwave is wide, and the communication capacity is large. A microwave relay station is established every dozens of kilometers in microwave communication. Satellite communication is the establishment of microwave communication links between two or more earth stations or between mobile bodies on the ground using communication satellites as relay stations.

Wireless Communication (Wireless Communication) is a Communication method for exchanging information using the characteristic that an electromagnetic wave signal can propagate in a free space, and in recent years, the most developed and widely used Wireless Communication technology is in the field of information Communication. Wireless communication implemented in mobile is also commonly referred to as mobile communication, and both are collectively referred to as wireless mobile communication.

In the network system of wireless mobile communication, the network system of mobile phone for mobile user mainly includes GSM, CDMA, 3G, 4G, and since the advent of mobile phone, the mobile phone has experienced the first generation analog system mobile phone (1G), the second generation GSM, TDMA and other digital mobile phones (2G), the 2.5 generation mobile communication technology CDMA, the third generation mobile communication technology 3G, the fourth generation mobile communication technology 4G.

The Global digitization has started from GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), which is developed on the basis of cellular systems, and belongs to the second generation digital Mobile communication System. Its advantages are more kinds of mobile communication services, high connection speed, high speech quality, high security and security, high anti-interference power and wide network coverage. In terms of the topological structure, the public mobile communication network generally adopts cellular topology, and is based on the consideration of improving the frequency spectrum utilization rate, reducing mutual interference and increasing the system capacity.

In order to realize the support from the traditional voice service to the data service, the GPRS superposes a network supporting high-speed packet data on the basis of the original GSM network, provides functions of WAP browsing (browsing Internet pages), E-mail and the like for users, promotes the first leap development of the mobile data service, and realizes the perfect combination of the mobile communication technology and the data communication technology (especially the Internet technology).

From the second generation GSM, most mobile communications are digital systems, and besides voice communications, short messages (short messages, SMS), MMS (technology) | MMS (multimedia messages ), wireless application protocols (wAP), and the like can be transmitted and received.

The Short Message Service (SMS) is a part of a service plan of "converged communication", and a user directly sends or receives text or digital information through a mobile phone or other telecommunication terminals, and the number of characters that the user can receive and send a short message each time is 160 english, digital characters or 70 chinese characters.

In general, the "mobile data traffic" refers to data traffic generated by accessing the internet or using related data value-added services through mobile communication technologies such as GPRS, EDGE, TD-SCDMA, HSDPA, WCDMA, and LTE, and does not include traffic generated by accessing the internet through other methods such as WLAN and CSD.

A mobile communication network between a mobile subscriber and a mobile subscriber or between a mobile subscriber and a fixed subscriber, and a public mobile communication network and a private mobile communication network are classified by service object; and can be divided into a mobile phone network and a mobile data network according to service properties. The mobile phone network supports communication in the form of short messages and voice. Correspondingly, the terminal equipment is provided with an SMS short message interface and a voice interface, thereby accessing to a mobile telephone network, receiving and sending short messages and dialing/answering the telephone from the voice network.

In addition, the mobile terminal may be connected to the internet through the mobile data traffic based on the public mobile data network, or may be connected to the internet through a WLAN access point based on a conventional home or enterprise broadband derivation, so that various network services and programs are used, and real-time communication is one of them.

The above-mentioned WLANs are all called: wireless Local Area Networks, with a Chinese name: a wireless local area network (wlan), which is a system using Radio Frequency (RF) technology to transmit data, and the technology is used to make up for the deficiency of wired lans, so as to achieve the purpose of network extension and realize a clear network without network wires and distance limitations. The current protocols included in WLANs are: ieee802.11b protocol, ieee802.11a protocol, ieee802.11g protocol, ieee802.11e protocol, ieee802.11i protocol, Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), etc., and WIFI (wireless fidelity) technology is a wireless network communication technology based on IEEE802.11 series standards.

For both mobile data networks and WLAN communication networks, they are referred to in the industry as wireless data transmission networks.

Instant Messaging (IM) derived from the above communication technology is a real-time communication system (generally including service and client software) that allows two or more people to use a network to transmit text messages, files, data, voice and video in real time, including ICQ, Skype, MSN, etc. before the mobile data network is not popularized, and since then, with the popularization of wireless data transmission technologies such as mobile data network, WLAN, etc. and smart phone operating systems, a great number of mobile Instant Messaging services and software, such as Wechat, etc., have appeared.

There is a need to provide a communication method and related device based on the above communication technology and application software technology to meet the potential needs of users including but not limited to the elderly and children.

The terminology used in the embodiments of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the examples of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, and "a plurality" typically includes at least two.

It should be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein is merely one type of association that describes an associated object, meaning that three relationships may exist, e.g., a and/or B may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the former and latter related objects are in an "or" relationship.

The words "if", as used herein, may be interpreted as "at … …" or "at … …" or "in response to a determination" or "in response to a detection", depending on the context. Similarly, the phrases "if determined" or "if detected (a stated condition or event)" may be interpreted as "when determined" or "in response to a determination" or "when detected (a stated condition or event)" or "in response to a detection (a stated condition or event)", depending on the context.

It is also noted that the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a good or system that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such good or system.

In still another embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided an electronic apparatus including: a display; a processor unit; a memory; and one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor unit, the one or more programs including instructions for performing any one of a picture resource providing method of an electronic device and a time presentation method of the electronic device. The inventor finds that electronic devices such as mobile phones and software installed in communication devices in the prior art are diversified, and information such as contact information and contact group information in instant messaging software installed in the mobile phone and contact information stored in a dialing application built in a system is stored independently, or communication information generated by a short message service, a call record generated by the dialing application and communication information of a data service class generated by the instant messaging software are stored in different application programs. The information stored in these different applications is redundant in the mobile phone, and the user often needs to access these different software applications classified by functionality through different interaction portals, so it is necessary to integrate various interaction portal interface elements, software resources such as functionality (functionality) and utility (utility), communication resources such as communication network capability (accessibility), and related information, so as to improve accessibility (accessibility) of communication information and application information in the mobile phone, and accessibility (accessibility) of applications and communication contacts in the electronic device, such as contacts in independent contacts or contact groups, applications of different functional categories and related information thereof, and at the same time, it is also necessary to simplify hierarchical interaction operations of electronic devices or communication devices loaded with diversified application software such as mobile phones, and improving operability of the electronic device or the communication apparatus. The prior art lacks of prejudgment and corresponding solving means for the technical problems or potential requirements.

Moreover, in the interaction of the electronic devices including the electronic device such as a mobile phone, which unifies and provides the redundant information for a single contact, high operability and accessibility are lacked, so that the user can access the communication information with the single contact through the single contact interface or establish communication with the single contact.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a resource providing method for an electronic device is proposed, wherein the electronic device comprises a communication enabling unit associated with at least one communication network, and further comprises at least one interface, which is outputable by a display of the electronic device. The resource providing method according to this embodiment includes two steps: step 1), presenting a communication interface aiming at a first contact group in at least one interface on a display, wherein the first contact group communication interface comprises a message area; and 2) responding to the operation of the communication enabling unit by the user, and outputting a plurality of communication information with the first contact group through at least one communication network through the message area.

Optionally, the first contact group in the above embodiments may include only a single contact, or may also include two or more contacts. The former case corresponds to a communication interaction between the user of the electronic device and the first contact. This can be understood in comparison to fig. 14C and related embodiments, and fig. 14B and related embodiments, described below.

Generally, in the method according to some embodiments of the present invention, a related resource providing method, a configuration method of a first contact communication interface, or an electronic device is described, taking communication between a user of the electronic device and the first contact as an example. But it can be understood that: the following methods or apparatuses for the embodiments between the user and the first contact are also applicable to the communication interaction between the user and the first contact group, and the resource providing method, the configuration method of the communication interface of the first contact group, or the electronic apparatus involved in the communication interaction. Vice versa, the method or device for the embodiments between the user and the first contact group are also applicable to the resource providing method, the configuration method of the first contact communication interface or the electronic device for the communication interaction between the user and the first contact, and the resource providing method, the configuration method of the first contact communication interface, and the electronic device for the communication interaction.

Optionally, in general, in the method according to some embodiments of the present invention, the communication enabling unit configured in the electronic device, or may also be referred to as a communication interface element, may be implemented in hardware or software, and in the method according to some embodiments of the present invention, the communication enabling unit may be a key array provided in the form of software on the first contact communication interface virtually, or a key array provided in the form of entity on the electronic device, and functions of both correspond, and may be separately configured in software and hardware of the electronic device, or may be configured on the electronic device at the same time for the user to perform communication interaction with the electronic device in a manner of arbitrarily selecting hardware or software. Specifically, the virtual key array of the former is generally a virtual key and a button on a communication interface, and the physical key array of the latter can be disposed on the electronic device housing in a hardware manner, and both of the two human-machine interfaces can be operated by a user to establish communication. And at least one communication may correspond to a communication of the same service nature, such as a communication of a data service, or may correspond to a plurality of communications of different service nature.

The resource providing method according to the embodiment of the present invention may be run in some electronic devices or communication apparatuses or be used in combination with application programs therein, and in some embodiments, a mobile phone, a smart mobile device, and the like will be taken as an example for description.

Although the architecture of an operating system applied to a mobile device, especially an intelligent mobile device, such as I0S or android, mostly originates from a computer operating system, that is, a logical architecture mainly based on a "platform + program", the architecture is closer to the technical essence of a computer, but a design framework for configuring different independent applications in a functional group differentiation manner is adopted, and each application also corresponds to a different interaction operation level, and for users including but not limited to middle-aged and elderly people, the cognitive ability and the acceptance of the configuration logic of the application program of the virtual abstraction are sometimes low.

The resource providing method provided by the embodiment of the invention provides resource allocation of an interface by taking the user and the contact person thereof as the center and taking user interaction as guidance in an integrated mode. In some embodiments described below, a simplified User Interface (UI) system and related core functional components are constructed, in other words, compared with the prior art, the interactive operation and corresponding functions of electronic devices and communication devices such as mobile phones are redefined, the User and contacts in the interpersonal relationship thereof are guided, the communication medium based on the wireless data transmission network and the internet is used as a main communication medium, and the interactive operation level is simplified, so that the electronic devices have high operability and usability for the User due to the operation of the resource providing method, and therefore, the User also obtains accessibility (accessibility) for related information and resources.

Fig. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a resource providing method for an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 12 is a diagram illustrating a correspondence relationship between at least one interface configured in the electronic device and at least one option presented on a display of the electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the following, the method according to some embodiments of the present invention is described with reference to the embodiments related to fig. 11 and 12, and the resource providing method may include three steps: step 1101, step 1102 and step 1103.

In step 1101, a communication interface 26-Contact for a first Contact in at least one interface 1204 is presented on the display, wherein the first Contact communication interface includes a message area (not shown in the figure).

In step 1102, a plurality of communication information with a first contact via at least one communication network is output through a message area in response to a user's operation of a communication enabling unit (not shown in the drawing). The plurality of communication information may include audio messages or video messages, the messages may be marked in a message area as a communication record and output externally through the message area for a user to browse or access, and furthermore, the audio messages may be further output to a loudspeaker to output externally in an audio manner in response to an access operation of the user to the audio messages through the message area.

In step 1103, at least one option 1203 is provided via the display, the at least one option 1203 being configured in an abbreviated form and associated with at least one interface 1204, respectively.

Optionally, in the method of some embodiments of the present invention, the association relationship between the at least one option 1203 and the at least one interface 1204 may be embodied as: the at least one option 1203 is in one-to-one correspondence with the at least one interface 1204, and the at least one option 1203 can output the corresponding interface in the at least one interface 1204 through the display in response to the operation of the user. The correspondence between at least one option 1203 and at least one interface 1204 can refer to the association shown by the arrow in fig. 12, and one or more interfaces 1204 can be substantially independent of each other.

In addition, since at least one option represents at least one interface in an abbreviated form respectively, the abbreviated menu item can present more options such as contacts, applications and the like for the user on a smaller scale on the current interface, so that the user can also globally know other available options such as communication contacts, application programs and the like through the current interface, and has a navigation function for selecting and positioning the client in a plurality of application options configured by the electronic device. Of course, alternatively, the program in the electronic device may also be executable by the processor unit to: the presentation of the at least one option is cancelled in response to a real-time response event occurring at the electronic device. When the real-time response event occurs, a plurality of options are not required to be displayed in a navigation mode at the bottom of the display, and the cancellation of the display of the plurality of options can also provide larger screen display space for the real-time response event. And after the online video or audio call is ended, the plurality of options for providing the navigation function at the periphery of the display can be recovered. Generally, the real-time response event includes an event that does not allow the user to perform a delayed response, such as an online telephone call, and the short message does not belong to the real-time response event because the processing can be delayed.

Here, it should be noted that, when the related resources of the at least one interface 1204 are configured in the electronic device or in a remote server, the at least one option 1203 may be regarded as an icon similar to a shortcut and displayed on the display for the user to select, and at the same time, the at least one option 1203 is directed to or associated with the related resources corresponding to the at least one option 1203, so that, when the user selects the at least one option 1203 on the display, the electronic device calls or runs the related resources associated with the at least one option 1203, thereby outputting the at least one interface 1204 corresponding to the at least one option 1203 through the display. The related resource corresponding to each of the at least one option 1203 may also be referred to as at least one object (not shown in the figure). The at least one object is an executable program resource, and is located in a background or remote server of the electronic device, and when a first option, for example, a first contact icon, in the at least one option 1203 is selected by a user, a first object, for example, first contact related information or an (addressed) executable resource in the at least one object is loaded, so that a first interface, for example, a first contact communication interface, in the at least one interface 1204 is output through the display. The output of the at least one interface 1204 via the display is substantially dependent on a user selection of the at least one option 1203 or a user switching of a user interface, such as a communication interface, an application interface, etc.

The at least one option 1203 has a certain arrangement order on the display, and the arrangement order is formed by adding or sequencing the at least one option 1203 through interaction with the electronic equipment by a user, or the arrangement order of the at least one option 1203 is set through login of a back door program by a server or another remote electronic equipment. Whether or not at least one option 1203 is provided to the user through, for example, a bottom region of the display, the at least one object may be independently set in its output order through the display. For example, after outputting a first interface corresponding to the first object, for example, the interface 26-Contact, through the display, the other interfaces may be sequentially output in the predetermined order described above in response to the user switching operation through repeated sliding of the interface output area in the middle of the display, for example, in a single direction of an Arrow 26-Arrow in the figure. At least one interface 1204 is in one-to-one correspondence with at least one object stored locally or remotely. Optionally, the at least one object may include at least one contact information, and the at least one interface may also include at least one contact interface corresponding to the at least one contact information. Here, the relationship between the configuration order of the at least one option on the display, the at least one object, and the possible configuration order of the at least one interface may also be applied in the method or apparatus of some embodiments described below, and may not be described in detail herein.

At least one interface, such as interface 26-Contact, interface 26-Album, interface 26-Group, etc., that may be output through the display 1201 of the electronic device 1200, resources from at least one object configured in the electronic device represent the at least one object (not shown) in a visual manner on the display 1201. And the at least one object may include, but is not limited to: contact information for communication, contact group information, various applications, such as a system-built applet like a photo album, or access entry information or link information for a third party independent program, etc. These one or more options may be output via the display 1201 of the electronic device in the form of respective corresponding interfaces, such as the first Contact communication interface 26-Contact, the Album application interface 26-Album, the Contact Group communication interface 26-Group, and so on.

Optionally, in the method or the electronic device according to some embodiments of the present invention, the method or the electronic device may further include: at least one option 1203 is presented on the display 1201 on a part-by-part (part by part) basis in response to a switching operation of the user for the at least one option 1203. It is understood that the switching operation for the at least one option 1203 may include a slide gesture or the like for an area where the at least one option 1203 is located.

Alternatively, in the method or electronic device of some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 12, at least one option 1203 is configured in a single row (single row) on the top/bottom of the display or in a single column beside the display, wherein a horizontal bar-shaped area occupied by the options of the single row on the display may be referred to as a menu area or a single row area 1202. Taking at least one option 1203 arranged in a single row as an example, as shown in fig. 12, the option of the single row is transversely arranged at the bottom of the display, and the method of the embodiment further includes the steps of: in response to a switching operation of the user with respect to the single-row region 1202, at least one option 1203 is presented by moving the single-row region 1202 uniformly portion by portion.

Alternatively, in the method or the electronic device according to some embodiments of the present invention, the at least one option 1203 may be substantially equally divided into a plurality of groups, the first group of options is first arranged at the bottom of the display in a single row, and in response to a switching operation of the user with respect to the single-row area 1202, the plurality of groups of options are sequentially moved in an operation direction of sliding or the like by the user, and are sequentially presented to the user through the single-row area 1202. As shown in fig. 12, the first set of options includes a first option 26a, a second option 26b, a third option 26c, and a fourth option 26d, wherein the first option 26a corresponds to the communication interface 26-Contact of the first Contact, the second option 26b corresponds to the Album application interface 26-Album, the third option 26c and the fourth option 26d also correspond to two interfaces (not shown in the figure) in the at least one interface 1204, respectively, and the fifth option 26e corresponds to the Group communication interface 26-Group. The first set of options is arranged in a single row area 1202 at the bottom of the display; or in a single column (not shown) arranged beside the display, in response to a user switching operation for the first group of options, a second group of options of the at least one option is switched and presented in a single row of regions, the second group of options including the fifth option 26e and three options (not shown in the figure) subsequent to the fifth option. The switching operation here may be a sliding operation to the left or the right, which will not be described in detail below. Specifically, the step of switching and presenting the first group of options and the second group of options in the at least one option through the single-row area may include: the first option 26a, the second option 26b, the third option 26c, and the fourth option 26d are collectively moved in the direction of the sliding operation of the user indicated by directional Arrow 26-Arrow in fig. 12, thereby successively presenting the second group of options, i.e., the fifth option 26e and three options subsequent thereto. From another aspect, the step of switching and presenting the first group of options and the second group of options in the at least one option through the single-line region may further include: the first option 26a, the second option 26b, the third option 26c, the fourth option 26d are moved in the direction of the sliding operation indicated by the Arrow 26-Arrow to cancel the presentation of the first option 26a, the second option 26b, the third option 26c, the fourth option 26d one by one at the edge of the display, and in succession to the first group of options, the second group of options, headed by the fifth option 26e, is moved part by part into the single-row area 1202. In yet another aspect, the step of switching the presentation of the first set of options and the second set of options in the at least one option through the single-line region further comprises: the first option 26a, the second option 26b, the third option 26c, the fourth option 26d are visually moved out of the display area of the display in sequence in the direction of the sliding operation indicated by Arrow 26-Arrow, and the second group of options, which is headed by the fifth option 26e, is moved into the single row area 1202 following the first group of options.

Of course, the option 26d is the last option in the first group, and if the current interface is the interface corresponding to the option 26d and the option 26d is presented differently in form as the current option, in this case, the electronic device may also, in response to a switching operation of the user for sliding left on the communication interface or the application interface corresponding to the option 26d, switch to present a second group of options in at least one option in the single-line region, differentiate the first option 26e of the second group of options in form as the current option, and load the communication interface or the application interface corresponding to the option 26e in the interface.

It is worth noting that: in the method or the electronic device of some embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of options may be arranged in a single row and moved and presented on the display part by part (a part by part), wherein the speed of the moving process may correspond to the speed of the user operation gesture, and the unit of the moving is a part (part) or a group of the plurality of options, which allows the user to clearly distinguish the next group of unpowted options from the previous group of browsed options and browse all the options regularly. Meanwhile, the above set of options or a part of the options may include 1 to 10 options, and for a general mobile phone, optionally 3 to 6 options, such as 4 options in the above embodiment. For mobile terminals such as tablet computers configured with larger displays, each set or portion of options may include a greater number of options. Of course, the number of options included in each section or each group is preferably the same.

Alternatively, the single row of regions 1202 may be regions where multiple options configured as a single row are located at the top or bottom of the display. Alternatively, the single-line region 1202 may be understood as a region within the outline (outline) of the pixel or location covered by the plurality of options on the display, which is substantially invariant to the plurality of options, such as a transverse stripe-shaped region at the bottom of the display, which has a width in the longitudinal direction (as indicated by the arrow in fig. 12) of about 0.5 cm to 3.5 cm, preferably 1.5cm to 2 cm. The single line region 1202 is located laterally at the bottom of the display, does not occupy the main display area or interaction area of the display, and also facilitates the user's hand-held operation without interfering with the user's main interaction behavior. Through the single-line region 1202, the user may apply operations including a switching operation such as a slide operation to one or more options located at the bottom of the display, which may not be described in detail herein.

Alternatively, the single-line region 1202 may also be explicitly (explicit) or implicitly (implicitly) as a menu region, and correspondingly, at least one of the options 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d may also be defined as four menu items, accommodated in the menu region. Furthermore, it should be understood that some of the menu areas provided on the display herein and some of the interface elements of the methods or devices of some of the embodiments described below that are configured on the display are virtual rather than physical and are not described in detail below. Most of the embodiments herein are that the electronic device moves the options presenting the menu area in response to an operation gesture such as sliding of the menu area by a user, and as a modification, the electronic device may also move the options presenting the menu area in response to an operation of a directional key provided on an entity of the electronic device by a user. And will not be described in detail herein.

It can be understood that: the motion is relative, although from a sensory point of view a set of serialized (a series of) options 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d is presented in the menu area moving in the direction of the switching operation in response to the switching operation by the user, and can be viewed as a slidable window of the menu area moving relative to the string of options in the opposite direction to the switching operation to present the string of options part by part. Correspondingly, in another aspect of the above embodiment, the menu area or the single-row area 1202 arranged laterally at the bottom of the display can be regarded as a sliding window relative to the plurality of options, and the first part of the plurality of options, i.e. the first four options 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d, is firstly queued in the sliding window, and then the electronic device can respond to the user's switching operation for the sliding window to slide and present the first four options 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d and the subsequent other options beginning with the option 26e through the sliding window. Of course, the option 26e and its subsequent options are also presented part by part in a queue through a sliding window, and these options 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d, 26e form a certain sort order after being queued in the menu area or single row area 1202 at the bottom of the display.

Optionally, the switching operation of the user for the sliding window may be a sliding operation on the single-row region 1203, the size of the sliding window is the same as the step size of the sliding, and each sliding window is 3 to 6 options, for example, 4 contact options or 5 application options, and the like.

The abbreviated menu items in the method of some embodiments of the invention are configured at the bottom of the display, and the communication interface or the application interface is configured in the middle area of the display and has a corresponding relationship. The communication application interface and the first application interface can be generally positioned in the middle of the display, occupy larger area, and provide a main area for a user to identify and operate, the communication interface can be slid to switch one content at a time, and the focus option in at least one option in the menu area, namely the current option, is synchronously changed to correspond to the currently displayed interface in the middle of the display.

The bottom or lower part of the screen is a menu area, one page of options in the menu, for example, 5 menu items, can be switched left and right by sliding the menu area on the screen, the options clicked by the user can be determined as new focus options in the menu area or the single-line area 1202 in response to the clicking operation of the user, and a corresponding communication interface or application interface is loaded in the middle of the display. The abbreviated menu items can present more options of contacts, applications and the like to the user in a small scale, have a navigation function, and can switch a plurality of contact options and application options in batches by taking a group as a unit in response to one sliding operation of the user, so that the method is beneficial to the user to quickly browse or select the contacts and the like which the user desires to communicate.

In the method or electronic device of some embodiments of the present invention, the at least one option 1203 further includes a second option 26 b. In the method: in response to the user's selection of the second option 26b in the single-line region 1202, the first Contact communication interface 26-Contact corresponding to the first option 26a is switched on the display to the interface 26-Album corresponding to the second option, and synchronously the focus display is shifted from the first option 26a to the second option 26b, i.e. the second option is differentiated in form in the single-line region.

Of course, the above-mentioned focus options and current interface switching are also applicable to the selection of the cross-Group options, for example, the user switches the first Group option to the second Group option with 26e as the first Group option through a sliding operation in the single-row area 1202, and at this time, the first Contact communication interface 26-Contact corresponding to the option 26a in the first Group option may still be displayed in the interface 1201, where the electronic device may switch the first Contact communication interface to the Contact Group interface 26-Group corresponding to the option 26e on the display in response to the user clicking the fifth option 26 e. And synchronously, the option 26e is presented in a single-line region in a differentiated manner as a focus option, or a current option, that is, an option corresponding to the interface currently displayed on the display.

Fig. 13A and 13B are schematic diagrams illustrating switching between two interfaces configured in an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 13A, according to the interpersonal relationship between the current contact and the user, the nickname of the current contact is "son", and 5 options are provided in a single row in a thumbnail form in a menu area laterally arranged at the bottom of the display, wherein a first option 1303-1 corresponding to the "son" is highlighted, for example, an outline of a thumbnail of the option is highlighted. The current contact communication interface 1301 is also loaded with profile information for "son". Virtual communication buttons 1302 associated with one or more communication networks are also provided on the current contact communication interface 1301 for a user to operate to establish communication through the one or more communication networks described above to generate communication information, and a message area 1304 is also provided on the current contact communication interface 1301 for outputting communication information between the user and the "son".

In the method or the electronic device according to some embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of objects have a plurality of interfaces corresponding to them one to one, for example, a first contact object and a corresponding first contact communication interface, an album application object and a corresponding album application interface, and the like. These interfaces are generally output through the middle of the display, occupy a large area, and form a main area for the user to recognize and operate. The multiple objects are relatively independent, the multiple corresponding interfaces are output on the display to provide users with access to the objects, deep functions of the corresponding objects are called according to the operation of the users on the interfaces, and further operation and skip sub-interfaces are presented on the display. The interfaces corresponding to the objects can be basically independent from each other and can be switchably output on a display for a user to access. The switching between these interfaces, in some of the above embodiments the method, is performed by the user by manipulating a menu area of the navigation function. In some embodiment methods described below, switching between multiple interfaces is performed by enabling a user to directly apply a switching operation to a communication interface, an application interface and the like.

In the method of some embodiments of the present invention, in response to a single switching operation of the user on the communication interface of the current contact, for example, a single leftward or rightward sliding gesture operation, the electronic device may switch the communication interface of the current contact to an interface corresponding to an adjacent object of the current contact in the at least one object. Wherein an output order in which the at least one object is output in the form of an interface through the display in response to a predetermined gesture by the user has been predefined. And if a menu area is provided on the display, when the communication interface of the current contact person is switched by the electronic equipment, the corresponding options of the switched latest current contact person in the menu area can be set in a differentiated mode basically and synchronously. Preferably, the current options in the menu area may be differentiated in form, so that the user may more conveniently recognize from the menu area.

In the method of some embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device may switch the second contact communication interface corresponding to the second option 1303-2 adjacent to the first option 1303-1 in the single-line area 1303 presented on the display in response to a single switching operation of the user with respect to the first contact communication interface 1301, for example, a sliding operation to the left as indicated by an arrow in fig. 13A, as shown in fig. 13B, a daughter profile is loaded on the communication interface of the second contact nickname "daughter" and "daughter", which may include a nickname of "daughter", a head portrait, a photograph, a telephone number, and the like, according to the relationship of the second contact with the user. Correspondingly, the message area 1304 is also used to display communication with "daughter". In response to the switching of the current contact communication interface, the differentiation means in the form of focus presentation or the like is transferred from the second option 1303-2 to the second option 1303-2 corresponding to "daughter" in the 5 options in the single-row area 1303.

It is worth noting that: regardless of whether the single-line region 1303 field and the plurality of options therein are configured as a navigation menu in fig. 13, a plurality of objects (not shown in the drawings) in the electronic apparatus may be independently configured in a predetermined order to be output through the display, based on which the electronic apparatus may respond to a single interface switching operation from the user, such as a left/right sliding operation, and a plurality of interfaces corresponding to the plurality of objects one by one are output according to a predetermined order for user interaction, in other words, in response to a single switching operation of a user for the communication interface of "son", a communication object next to the loading object is switched to a neighboring object of the communication object of the nickname "son" among the plurality of objects configured in advance in sequence, i.e., the "daughter" communication object, and a communication interface corresponding to the "daughter" communication object is presented on the display, as shown in fig. 13B. In summary, a plurality of application interfaces or a plurality of objects provided in the electronic device in association therewith may be arranged in a predetermined order. By applying a continuous switching operation to the communication interface or the application program interface on the display by the user, for example, repeating the above-described leftward sliding gesture on the display, the electronic device outputs a plurality of interfaces one by one through the display in a "predetermined order". The predetermined order may be an output order that the plurality of interfaces are previously given in the electronic device if the menu area or the single line area and the plurality of options therein are not provided on the display; if the display is provided with a single row of regions and a plurality of options therein as a navigation menu, the predetermined order described above may be the order in which the plurality of options are arranged in a single row of the queue. For example, as shown in fig. 12, the current interface is the interface 26-Contact corresponding to the option 26a, and when the user performs a repeated switching operation on the middle portion of the display 1201, for example, a leftward sliding switching gesture, the electronic device 1200 sequentially displays, through the display 1201, the 26-Album corresponding to the option 26b, the interface (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the option 26c, the interface (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the option 26d, and the 26-Group interface corresponding to the option 26 e.

Preferably, after each interface switching on the display, the corresponding options of the currently loaded communication interface or application program interface in the single-row area are presented differently in form, so as to facilitate the user to identify the current options.

Optionally, in the method or the electronic device according to some embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of objects corresponding to the plurality of options one to one may include, but are not limited to: communication information/parameters for one or more contacts and related communication applications, photo album applications, daily information applications, etc., and the plurality of interfaces are interactive interfaces of the corresponding applications.

As shown in fig. 13, the multiple options in the single-line area 1303, similar to the shortcut, may also be edited by means of foreground interface or back door login to form the composition of the options, or to arrange the order of the configured options. In other words, the method of the above or below embodiment may further include the step of: in response to the user's option add operation, a first contact is added in the electronic device and an identification of the first contact is presented in the single-line region 1303 as a navigation menu.

This customization of the contents of the menu region or single line region 1303 allows for extensibility of the contents therein, thereby enhancing navigation of the region. As a contact option, a parameter for the first contact, such as a unique identification number of the first contact in the electronic device or a software system running therein, may be included, or may further include, for example, a telephone number, an identification number (ID) used for instant messaging, and the like. At the same time, the first contact option in the menu area is associated with a communication program provided locally or remotely to the electronic device, the first contact option may be located at the top level of the interaction of the entire software system of the electronic device for direct user operation, similar to a shortcut, thus, in response to a user manipulation of the first contact option in the menu area, a corresponding communication application configured within the electronic device is invoked via the shortcut, meanwhile, some parameters for identifying the contact person identity are transferred to the related communication application program, the communication application program is started and the related communication function is executed aiming at the first contact person corresponding to the transferred parameters, so that the related information of the first contact, including the profile information and the communication information between the user and the first contact, etc., is presented through the communication interface on the display. The above-mentioned parameter for identifying the contact identity includes, but is not limited to, the item mentioned under the heading "integrally store multiple communication network information for a contact in a single program", and of course, in addition to the information/parameters mentioned in the heading, such as a contact telephone number applicable to a mobile telephone network, an identification code (ID) applicable to instant messaging software, and the like, other parameters or information representing a contact may be set, and one of the purposes of these parameters/information is to enable a communication application program to load a communication interface of a corresponding contact according to these parameters/information, so as to enable a user to establish communication with the contact through the communication interface, and the specific form of the parameter/information does not limit the present invention.

Optionally, in the method or the electronic device of some embodiments of the present invention, at least one interface 1204 or at least one option 1202 belongs to a single program, or at least one interface 1204, although partially deployed in a remote server, is finally provided in the electronic device by a program call. A conventional operating system such as android can be customized to integrate part of programs related to the communication interface into the operating system of the electronic device to form a single program at a system level, and a program component to which the communication application interface belongs is used as an operating system User Interface (UI), and a plurality of interfaces in the single program are presented to a user at the first time after the completion of the startup. The single program can be run in the starting stage of the electronic device, so that the at least one interface 1204 including the first contact communication interface, the album application interface and the like is automatically loaded on the top layer of the interaction hierarchy of the whole software system of the electronic device in a switchable manner for the user to directly operate after the electronic device is started, the accessibility of the communication resources is improved, and the interaction complexity of the user in the interaction process of obtaining the related communication resources and application resources is reduced. As shown in fig. 12, a plurality of interfaces 1204 are automatically loaded on the interactive top layer of the electronic device after the electronic device is started, so that the user can directly operate the electronic device after the electronic device is started, and switch between the interfaces 26-Contact, 26-Album, 26-Group and access the different applications in parallel through horizontal sliding and other switching operations. This provides a new way for the user to access the application and gives the user a new interactive experience.

Optionally, one or more options at the head of the queue of at least one option may be set as a Contact option, and correspondingly, the first interface 26-Contact in the at least one interface 1204 not only appears in the top-level interaction of the electronic device, but also is loaded as a Contact communication interface in the electronic device as the first interface after the electronic device is normally operated after being turned on. The accessibility of the communication resources is further improved, and the interaction complexity of the user in the interaction process of acquiring the related communication resources and application resources is reduced.

In the method or the electronic device of some embodiments of the present invention, communication of a user to a contact group is also supported. Fig. 14A and 14B are schematic diagrams of two switchable interfaces configured in an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The plurality of options accommodated in the single line region 1403 in this embodiment includes option 1403-4 for the first group of contacts, option 1403-2 for the second contact. Correspondingly, the electronic device 1200 may also toggle presentation of a communication interface (not shown) for the second contact or a communication interface for the first contact group on the display in response to user selection of option 1403-2 for the second contact or option 1403-4 for the first contact group, respectively, as shown in fig. 14B or 14C. The communication interface of the second contact and the communication interface of the first contact group correspond to the first contact communication interface in form and function, for example both with

profile information

1405a, 1405b, and the second contact or the contact group, each also provides a message area 1406 on the interfaces for outputting communication information with the second contact or a member of the contact group. It should be noted that: the method or the step for providing interface resources for the configuration method of the communication interface and the application interface for a single contact, which are provided in the method or the device of the embodiment of the present invention, can be applied to the contact group, and a special case of the contact group includes only two members, namely, a user (user) of the electronic device and a contact.

In fig. 14C, a plurality of pieces of information between the user and the group members of the contact group are output in the message area 1406, and in order to make the relationship between the output interface elements more explicit, the profile information of the first member of the contact group, such as the head portrait, and the relationship between the communication information from the first member in the message area 1406 can be prominently presented on the communication interface, for example, as shown in fig. 14C, the head portrait of the second member in the contact group is highlighted in blue, correspondingly, the communication record of the second member, such as the 2 nd, 3 rd and the newest one in the figure, is also highlighted in blue, since the corresponding communication record and head portrait are both highlighted in the same/similar color, thereby enhancing the expression of the relationship between the two to the user, the user can conveniently identify the group members and the corresponding messages. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 14B, the message area 1404 in the figure is only for outputting the latest one of all communication records in the group. Assuming the latest communication record is from the group member corresponding to the top left avatar in profile information 1405b, the avatar 280c of the member in the contact group is displayed nearby around the message area 1404 to prompt the user for the sender of the latest communication record. Alternatively, in fig. 14B, as a modification example in which the association between the profile information of the first member and the communication information of the first member is made significant, the profile information of the first member of the contact group, for example, the avatar 280c, may be presented in an enlarged manner or in a dynamic manner such as a flickering manner with respect to the avatars of the other members in the contact group in the area where the profile information 1405B is located, in response to the occurrence of the latest one communication record with the first user (not shown in the figure). The avatars of other members of the contact group are then presented, either thumbnail-wise or statically, in relation to the first member in a circular or bar-like area where the profile information 1405b is located, whereby the user may be prompted to: the sender or recipient of the communication record presented in the message area 1404 is the first member. Optionally, the message area 1404 may present, and only present, the most recent communication with the first member of the contact group.

As another variation of the dynamic nearby display of the contact and the corresponding communication record, assuming that the latest message in the message area 1406 is always located at the top of the message area 1406, that is, the communication record 1406-1 closest to the position of the profile information 1405a, correspondingly, in the electronic device, the icons in the profile information 1405a may be dynamically arranged in sequence, and the sender of the latest communication record 1406-1 is always arranged at the first position 1405a-1 of the icon queue in the profile information 1405a, that is, the leftmost position of the icon queue on the screen, and the distance between this position and the latest communication record 1406-1 is relatively small, so that the user can conveniently and visually associate the latest communication record 1406-1 and the icon or the identity information of the sender thereof. Of course, it should be understood that alternatively, the latest message may always be located at the bottom of the message area 1406, the avatar queue for the profile information may also be located at the bottom of the communication interface, and the avatar of the sender of the latest communication record is dynamically configured to always be arranged at the first position of the avatar queue to be close to the presentation position of the latest communication record in the message area.

The application programs such as the photo album, the weather and the like correspond to independent application options in a plurality of options in a menu area, and are called independent items for short, and independent application interfaces in a plurality of interfaces. In addition to individual items, the plurality of options of the menu area may also include an application collection option, referred to as a collection item.

The independent items, namely contacts, groups, small programs built in the system, such as photo albums, third-party programs, such as YouKu and YouTube, are independent elements, and the user enters the independent items and then enters the corresponding independent programs.

The collection items, a collection item is a collection including all the types of the independent items, the number of the independent items in the collection is generally 2 or more, and at most, the number of the independent items does not exceed the area range of an entire page of the mobile phone screen, and after the user enters the collection items, some independent item lists in the electronic device are expanded in the form of an array grid such as 3x4 or 3x3, as shown in fig. 14D.

For example, the communication set 148-1 may be generated by communicating with a first unknown contact over a communication network, including one or more communication records with the first unknown contact. If the user clicks on the communication collection 148-1, the communication interface shown in FIG. 14G is switched on the display and a plurality of communication records between the user and the first unknown contact are output in the message area 144.

Optionally, in the method or the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present invention described above or below, the notification area 149 is configured laterally on the top of the display to at least partially present one or more pieces of unread notification information associated with one or more options in the single-line area 143, specifically, some or all of the unread notification information is communication information belonging to multiple business properties from a contact, a contact group, or the above unknown contact in multiple options, or some of the unread notification information may also be information such as an upgrade alert of an application in multiple options. At least some of these unread notification messages are presented in the notification area 149, preferably in a manner that presents the latest item, or in a rotating manner that presents each item, or some number of items. Correspondingly, in response to the user's operation of the notification area 149, the notification area 149 is extended on the display in the longitudinal direction indicated by the arrow in the figure to form an enlarged notification area 145 to collectively present a plurality of or all of the unread notification information, as shown in fig. 14F. If the user clicks on any of the lines of notification information in the communication collection 145, the communication interface shown in fig. 14G is also switched on the display if the notification information comes from a certain contact or a group of contacts, and a plurality of communication records between the user and the contact are output in the message area 144. The main area on the display is used to display the communication interface or application interface for the current contact within a certain period of time, and the notification area 149 provided above the display can make the user timely know some communication information or update information of other contacts or applications than the current contact. The content of the notification area or notification bar 149 may include: the format of the notification bar can comprise head portraits and names describing information sources, information abstracts, and information type icons, including information, notifications and the like.

By arranging the notification bar 149 above the communication interface and the application interface and in the top area of the display, after unread notification information is received, reminding and accumulation are performed in the notification bar, optionally, the accumulation mode is the newest at the top and the oldest at the bottom, a user can expand all notification information by gestures such as pulling down and clicking the notification bar 149, the clicked information can view the information in an enlarged mode (not shown in the figure) by borrowing the whole display range of the display, and the message can be cleared when the information returns from the message enlarged mode.
