Description

Notification bar display method and terminal equipment

Technical Field

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a notification bar display method and terminal equipment.

Background

With the development of terminal technology, in order to improve the visual experience of a user, the screen size of the terminal device is larger and larger, and the screen occupation ratio is higher and higher. For example, large-screen terminal devices such as bang screens, water drop screens, double-sided screens and folding screens have come into force.

Currently, when a user holds a large-screen terminal device with one hand, due to the large screen size, some areas in the screen may exceed the operable range of the user, so that the user is difficult to operate the areas. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of distribution of response time lengths (unit: millisecond) of fingers touching a screen at different positions on the screen when a certain model of terminal device is operated by a single hand (right hand), for example, the response time length corresponding to an area 01 is 1031 millisecond. When a user performs operations with one hand in operation inconvenience areas such as the top of the screen, the lower the sensitivity of these operation inconvenience areas, the longer the response time. In general, these regions with longer response times may be referred to as operational shadow regions.

In the prior art, an operation blind area can be avoided through factory design, and when the function controls in the top notification bar and the bottom notification bar are displayed in the operation blind area, a user still has difficulty in operating the function controls. Therefore, the operation effect of the notification bar in the operation blind area in the prior art is poor.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first area, the second area, or another area may be displayed on the desktop interface, or displayed in any other possible interface, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, if the notification bar includes a function control, the function control may be all controls configured by the terminal device in the factory, or a part of controls with higher frequency of use among all controls configured by the terminal device in the factory.

Optionally, if the notification bar includes a notification message, the notification message may be a notification message received by a system application program of the terminal device, for example, a system application update message; alternatively, the notification message may be a notification message received by a third-party application of the terminal device, such as a social message; alternatively, the notification message may be a notification message, such as a reminder item or a screen usage time notification message, sent to the notification bar by the system application of the terminal device.

Optionally, if the notification bar includes a notification message, the summary content of the notification message may include at least one of the following: the terminal device receives the notification message including information such as time, place, person, event, and the like.

In the embodiment of the invention, the first input can be used for displaying the notification bar or the object in the notification bar in the second area by the terminal equipment.

Optionally, the first input may be a touch input, a key input, a gesture input, or the like. For example, the touch input may be a user's touch input (slide input, long press input, etc.) to a function control or a notification message; alternatively, the touch input may be a touch input (a slide input, a long press input, or the like) to the notification bar by the user, or the like.

Optionally, before S101, the notification bar display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include: the terminal device receives the user's income and, in response to the input, displays a notification bar in the first area.

And S102, responding to the first input, and displaying the notification bar or the target object in the notification bar in a second area by the terminal equipment.

The second area is different from the first area and is a preset area with response time length less than or equal to the first time length; or the second area is a preset sub-area of the first area, wherein the response time length of the first area is less than or equal to the first time length.

In the case where the notification bar is displayed in the second area in S102, the second area is a preset area that is different from the first area and has a response time length less than or equal to the first time length. In the case where the target object in the notification bar is displayed in the second region in S102, the second region is a preset region which is different from the first region and has a response time length less than or equal to the first time length, or a preset sub-region in the first region having a response time length less than or equal to the first time length.

Optionally, the first duration may be a duration preset by the terminal device. The value of the first duration is not particularly limited, and can be determined according to actual use requirements.

Optionally, when the first region includes T sub-regions, and the second region is a preset region that is different from the first region and has a response duration less than or equal to the first duration, the first duration may be less than a response duration of each sub-region in the T sub-regions. Wherein T is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

Optionally, when the first region includes T sub-regions, and the second region is a preset sub-region in the first region, where the response duration is less than or equal to the first duration, the first duration may be less than or equal to the average response duration of the T sub-regions. Wherein T is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

Alternatively, the target object may be one or more functionality controls in the notification bar, or one or more notification messages in the notification bar. Specifically, one possible implementation manner is that if M objects are M function controls, the target object is a function control in the M function controls; another possible implementation manner is that if the M objects are M notification messages, the target object is a notification message in the M notification messages; yet another possible implementation is that if the M objects include S functionality controls and T notification messages, the target object may include at least one of the following: a function control of the S function controls, or a notification message of the T notification messages.

Optionally, the S102 may specifically include: in response to the first input, the notification bar (or the target object in the notification bar) is controlled to move from the first area to the second area in an animation effect, and the notification bar (or the target object in the notification bar) is displayed in the second area.

Alternatively, the "terminal device displays the target object in the notification bar in the second region" in S102 may be implemented by any one of the following items (1) to (3).

(1) And if the second area does not display the first object, the terminal equipment displays the target object in the second area.

Optionally, the step (1) may specifically include: and if the first object is not displayed in the second area, the terminal equipment cancels the display of the target object in the first area and displays the target object in the second area.

(2) And if the second area displays the first object, the terminal equipment displays the target object on the first object in an overlapping mode.

Optionally, the step (2) may specifically include: and if the second area displays the first object, the terminal equipment cancels the display of the target object in the first area and superposes and displays the target object on the first object.

(3) And if the second area displays the first object, the terminal equipment updates and displays the first object in the second area as the target object.

Optionally, the step (3) may specifically include: and if the second area displays the first object, the terminal equipment updates and displays the target object in the first area as the first object and updates and displays the first object in the second area as the target object.

Alternatively, the first object in (1) to (3) above may be a function control or a notification message.

Alternatively, assume that the M objects include S functionality controls and T notification messages. If the first input is input for S function controls, S102 may specifically include: and responding to the first input, the terminal equipment displays the S function controls in the second area and adjusts the display positions of the T notification messages. For example, T notification messages are moved to an area close to the second area.

For example, it is assumed that the response time period of the first area 02 is longer than that of the second area 03 as shown in fig. 4. As shown in fig. 4 (a), a notification bar may be displayed in the first area 02 of the screen, and the notification bar may include a data transfer control, a wireless fidelity control, a sound recording control, a flashlight control, a bluetooth control, and a screen mode adjustment control. In the case where the user presses the notification bar for a long time as shown in (a) of fig. 4, if the terminal device receives a long press input (i.e., a first input) by the user, the terminal device may display the notification bar and all the function controls in the notification bar in the second area 03 in response to the first input, as shown in (b) of fig. 4.

For example, it is assumed that the response time period of the area 04 (i.e., the first area) is longer than the response time period of the area 06 (i.e., the second area) as shown in fig. 5. As shown in fig. 5 (a), the notification bar includes a search control and a mask control displayed in an area 04, and a notification message from a weather application, a notification message from a browser application, and a notification message from a music application displayed in an area 05. In the case where the user double-clicks the area 04, if the terminal device receives a first input of the user for the notification bar, the terminal device may display a screen including a search control and a mask control in the area 06 in response to the first input and move a notification message from a weather application, a notification message from a browser application, and a notification message from a music application to the area 07, as shown in (b) of fig. 5.

The embodiment of the invention provides a notification bar display method, wherein under the condition that a first area is an operation blind area of a user, if the user wants to operate a notification bar displayed in the first area, the user can trigger a terminal device to display the notification bar or a target object (such as a function control or a notification message) in the notification bar in a second area (a non-operation blind area) with response time length less than or equal to the first time length according to actual needs. In this way, the user can spend a short time operating the notification bar in the second area or the target object in the notification bar, that is, the operation of the notification bar in the embodiment of the present invention is more convenient.

Optionally, in a case that the notification bar includes M (M is an integer greater than or equal to 2) objects, and the target object is an object of the M objects, after S101, the notification bar display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S103 described below.

And S103, responding to the first input, and keeping displaying the objects except the target object in the M objects in the first area by the terminal equipment.

Note that the above-described "keep display" instructs the terminal device to continue displaying objects other than the target object among the M objects in the first area. Specifically, for the objects other than the target object among the M objects, the terminal device may not change the display position thereof, or may adjust the display position in the first area.

In a first manner, if the notification bar includes M function controls and the target object is P function controls in the M function controls, S103 may be: in response to the first input, the terminal device maintains display of (M-P) functionality controls in the first area.

In a second mode, if the notification bar includes M notification messages and the target object is Y notification messages in the M notification messages, S103 may be: in response to the first input, the terminal device keeps displaying (M-Y) notification messages in the first area.

In a third way, if the notification bar includes M objects including S function controls and T notification messages, and the target object is the S function controls, S103 may be: in response to the first input, the terminal device keeps displaying the T notification messages in the first area.

In a fourth way, if the notification bar includes M objects including S function controls and T notification messages, and the target object is the T notification messages, S103 may be: in response to the first input, the terminal device keeps displaying the S function controls in the first area.

For example, it is assumed that the notification bar shown in fig. 6 includes a sub-area 08 (i.e., a second area) and a sub-area 09, and the response time period of the sub-area 08 is shorter than the response time period of the sub-area 09. As shown in fig. 6 (a), the notification bar may include a search control, a mask control, a notification message from a weather application displayed in sub-area 08, a notification message from a browser application displayed in sub-area 09, a notification message from a music application. The user can enter a notification message from the browser application to sub-area 09. In the case where the terminal device receives the input (i.e., the first input), the terminal device may display a notification message from the weather application in the sub-area 09, a notification message from the browser application in the sub-area 08, and a notification message from the music application, a search control, and a mask control in the notification bar in response to the input, as shown in (b) in fig. 6.

According to the notification bar display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, when the user operates the notification bar displayed in the first area, the terminal device can display the target object in the notification bar in the second area and keep displaying other objects except the target object in the first area, so that the user can continue to operate other objects, and the operation experience of the user is improved.

Optionally, in a case that the notification bar includes M (M is an integer greater than or equal to 2) objects, and the target object is an object in the M objects, before "the terminal device displays the notification bar or the target object in the notification bar in the second area" in S102, the notification bar display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S104 described below.

S104, the terminal equipment acquires the target object of which the response time length of the sub-area is greater than or equal to the second time length from the M objects according to the response time length of the sub-area in which each content is positioned.

The second time period may be greater than or equal to the first time period.

Optionally, the M objects correspond to M sub-regions, and response durations of any two sub-regions in the M sub-regions may be the same or different.

Optionally, the second duration may be a duration preset by the terminal device. The value of the second duration is not particularly limited and can be determined according to actual use requirements.

Optionally, the second time duration may be less than or equal to the response time duration of each sub-region in the M sub-regions; alternatively, the second duration may be less than or equal to the average response duration of the M sub-regions.

For example, it is assumed that a notification bar is displayed in the first area, where the notification bar includes a function control 1, a function control 2, a function control 3, and a function control 4, the response time of the sub-area where the function control 1 is located is 1527 milliseconds, the response time of the sub-area where the function control 2 is located is 1210 milliseconds, the response time of the sub-area where the function control 3 is located is 906 milliseconds, and the response time of the sub-area where the function control 4 is located is 1031 milliseconds. Assuming that the second time length is 1000 milliseconds, after the terminal device receives the first input of the user for the notification bar, if the terminal device responds to the first input, the terminal device obtains, from the 4 function controls, the function control 1, the function control 2, and the function control 4, of which the response time length of the sub-region is greater than 1000 milliseconds, according to the response time length of the sub-region in which each function control is located, and displays the function control 1, the function control 2, and the function control 4 in the second region.

According to the notification bar display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the terminal device can automatically acquire the target object of which the response time of the sub-region is greater than or equal to the second time length from the M objects according to the response time of the sub-region of each object in the M objects, so that a user can directly operate the target object displayed in the second region (namely, a non-operation blind region), and the time of the user can be saved.

Optionally, before the terminal device receives the first input of the user, the terminal device may display a notification bar in the first area. With reference to fig. 3, as shown in fig. 7, before S101, the notification bar display method according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include S105 and S106 described below.

And S105, the terminal equipment receives a second input of the user under the condition that the numerical value N is displayed in the icon of the target application program.

The value N may be used to indicate that the target application receives N notification messages.

It should be noted that the icon of the target application program may be displayed in any area of the screen, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this, and may be determined specifically according to actual use requirements.

Optionally, the value N may be located on an icon of the target application program; alternatively, the value N may be within a preset range of the icon of the target application, for example, at a corner mark.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the second input may be used to trigger display of a notification bar including a notification message in the first area.

Optionally, the second input may be touch input, key input, voice input, or the like. For example, the touch input may be a click input of a user on an icon (or a corner mark) of the target application program, or the like.

Alternatively, the icon of the target application may be displayed in the desktop interface or any other possible interface.

Optionally, before S105, the notification bar display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include: and under the condition that the notification bar is displayed in the first area, the terminal equipment receives input of a user, and responds to the input, the terminal equipment displays an icon of a target application program carrying the numerical value N.

And S106, responding to the second input, and displaying a notification bar in the first area by the terminal equipment.

The notification bar may include N notification messages, where N is a positive integer.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 8 (a), the terminal device displays icons of 3 applications, and displays a target numerical value (N ═ 3) at the corner mark of the icon 10 of one application (i.e., the icon of the target application).
