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.

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 interface content control 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 interface content control method may operate based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. Namely, the processor or the electronic device can implement the interface content control method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The electronic equipment in the embodiment of the invention can be a mobile terminal or a non-mobile terminal. For example, the mobile terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm top computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like, and the non-mobile terminal may be a Personal Computer (PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine or a self-service machine, and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited.

The execution main body of the interface content control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be the electronic device, or may also be a functional module and/or a functional entity capable of implementing the interface content control method in the electronic device, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. The following takes an electronic device as an example to exemplarily describe the interface content control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

The interface content control method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a scene in which a user needs to search for specified content in the content of the interface (hereinafter referred to as interface B) currently displayed by the electronic equipment.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when a user needs to search for a specific content in an interface currently displayed by an electronic device, the user may trigger the electronic device to invoke a certain preset function of the electronic device, and execute the function on the content in the interface currently displayed by the electronic device, for example, a preset sorting function, a preset screening function, or a preset searching function, so as to search for the specific content in the interface.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset function of the electronic device may be understood as a system-level function or a global function in the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, no matter whether the application program (hereinafter referred to as application B) to which the interface 2 belongs supports the function related to the search, the electronic device may execute the function related to the search on the content in the interface 2 by executing the content search method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, some function identifiers (for example, M function identifiers in the embodiment of the present invention) may be set in the shortcut task interface of the electronic device, and each of the function identifiers may indicate a preset function in the electronic device. In this way, when the electronic device displays the interface 2, the user may trigger the electronic device to display the shortcut task interface (including the function identifiers) through an input (e.g., a first input in the embodiment of the present invention) on the interface 2, and then, the user may trigger the electronic device to display, on the interface 2, a control (e.g., a target control in the embodiment of the present invention) for triggering execution of a preset function indicated by the function identifier on the content of the interface 2 through an input of any one of the function identifiers (e.g., a target function identifier in the embodiment of the present invention); therefore, the user can trigger the electronic device to call the preset function indicated by the function identifier through inputting the control, and execute the preset function on the content of the interface 2. In this way, because the target manipulation control may be configured to trigger a preset function (e.g., a preset sorting function, a preset screening function, or a preset search function) indicated by the target function identifier to be executed on the content of the interface currently displayed by the electronic device (e.g., the first interface in the implementation of the present invention), and the preset function is globally effective for the electronic device, even if an application to which the interface currently displayed by the electronic device belongs does not support a certain function, the electronic device may still execute the preset function on the content in the interface, so that a process of searching for the content in the application that does not support the function related to search may be performed, thereby improving the man-machine interaction performance.

The following describes an exemplary interface content control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides an interface content control method, which may include S201 to S204 described below.

S201, the electronic equipment receives a first input of a user on a first interface.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the first interface may be an interface of any application installed in the electronic device. For example, the application may be any possible application such as a chat application, a shopping application, a memo application, and the like, and may be determined according to actual use requirements, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first interface may be a long interface, for example, a display size of the first interface in one direction is larger than a display size of a screen of the electronic device in the one direction. In this way, the electronic device may display a part of the area of the first interface, and then may trigger the electronic device to display other areas of the first interface except for the part of the area through an input on the area, and so on, the electronic device may display the whole area of the first interface to display the whole content in the first interface.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first input may be an input for calling up a shortcut task interface of the electronic device. That is, after the user performs the first input, the electronic device may display a shortcut task interface of the electronic device in response to the first input.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first input may be a sliding input that a user slides on the first interface along the first direction.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first direction may be any possible direction in the first interface, and may be determined specifically according to an actual use requirement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, assuming that the first interface is the interface shown at 30 in fig. 3, the first direction may be a direction from the bottom of the first interface to the top of the first interface, i.e., an upward direction, i.e., a direction shown by an arrow 31 in fig. 3. Alternatively, the first direction may be a direction from the top of the first interface to the bottom of the first interface, i.e. a downward direction, i.e. a direction as indicated by arrow 32 in fig. 3. Alternatively, the first direction may be a direction from a right region of the first interface to a left region of the first interface, i.e., a leftward direction, i.e., a direction shown by an arrow 33 in fig. 3. Alternatively, the first direction may be a direction from a left region of the first interface to a right region of the first interface, i.e., a rightward direction, i.e., a direction shown by an arrow 34 in fig. 3. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

The bottom area, the top area, the left area, the right area, and the like are all illustrated by showing a first interface on a screen of the electronic device when the electronic device faces a user.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the sliding input may be a sliding input in which a user slides with a single finger; or, the sliding input may be a sliding input in which the user slides with two fingers; alternatively, the slide input may be any possible slide form such as a slide input in which the user slides with three fingers. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

S202, the electronic equipment responds to the first input and displays M function identifications.

Each of the M function identifiers may be used to indicate a preset function of the electronic device.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, each of the M function identifiers may be used to indicate a preset sorting function, a preset screening function, or a preset searching function of the electronic device.

It should be noted that the preset function in the embodiment of the present invention refers to a function that is valid for an interface of each application program in the electronic device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may display the M function identifiers on a shortcut task interface of the electronic device. For example, as shown in (a) of fig. 4, the user may slide upwards on the first interface 40, that is, the electronic device receives a first input of the user, and then, in response to the first input, as shown in (b) of fig. 4, the electronic device may display a shortcut task interface 41, and 3 (i.e., M ═ 3) function identifiers may be included in the shortcut task interface 41, and respectively include a sorting function identifier 42, a filtering function identifier 43, and a searching function identifier 44, that is, the electronic device displays M function identifiers.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4 (b), the shortcut task interface 41 may further include a wifi function identifier for turning on a wifi function of the electronic device, a flight mode identifier for triggering the electronic device to enter a flight mode, a bluetooth identifier for triggering the electronic device to turn on a bluetooth function, a brightness adjustment identifier for triggering and adjusting display brightness of the electronic device, a volume scale for triggering and adjusting a volume of the electronic device, a setting identifier for triggering the electronic device to display a setting interface of the electronic device, and the like.

S203, the electronic equipment receives a second input of the target function identifier in the M function identifiers by the user.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, each of the M function identifiers may include two states, where the two states are: a selected state and an unselected state. Before the user executes the second input, the M function identifiers are in an unselected state; after the user executes the second input, the state of the target function identifier in the M function identifiers is switched from the unselected state to the selected state, and the other function identifiers except the target function identifier are still in the unselected state.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may display the function identifier in two states in different display manners, for example, in different brightness or different colors, which may be determined specifically according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second input may be any possible form of input, such as click input, long-press input, and repeated-press input, which may be determined specifically according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

The click input may be input of a single click, a double click or a continuous click for a preset number of times. The long press input may be an input contacting for a first preset duration. The above-mentioned heavy-pressing input is also referred to as a pressure touch input, and refers to an input in which a user presses a pressure value greater than or equal to a pressure threshold value. The drag input may be an input of dragging in an arbitrary direction. The slide input may be an input to slide in any direction.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset times, the first preset duration, and the pressure threshold may all be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

And S204, the electronic equipment responds to the second input and displays the target control on the first interface.

The target control may be configured to trigger a preset function indicated by the target function identifier to be executed on the content of the first interface, and M may be a positive integer.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the second input of the user, the electronic device may first determine whether the content of the first interface meets an execution condition (hereinafter, referred to as a target condition) of the preset function indicated by the target function identifier, and if the content of the first interface meets the target condition, the electronic device may display a target control on the first interface, that is, execute the above S204; if the content of the first interface does not meet the target condition, the electronic device may display a prompt message to prompt the user that the electronic device cannot execute the preset function on the content of the first interface because the content of the first interface does not support the preset function; for example, the prompt message may be a prompt message including "the contents of the interface do not support the XX function".

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, when the target function identifier indicates a preset sorting function or a preset filtering function in the electronic device, the target condition may be that the first interface includes at least one content entry, the content entry includes at least one piece of sub-content, and different content entries include at least one piece of sub-content in the same form. When the target function identifier indicates the preset search function, the target condition may be that the content of the first interface includes character information such as characters, symbols, letters, or numbers.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the preset functions indicated by the target function identifier are different, the target control displayed on the first interface by the electronic device may also be different.

The following describes an exemplary method for displaying a target manipulation control on a first interface by an electronic device in two possible implementations (i.e., one possible implementation and another possible implementation described below).

One possible implementation: the target control indicates a preset sorting function or a preset screening function in the electronic device

In the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the second input of the user, the electronic device may obtain interface layout information of the first interface from an application (hereinafter, referred to as a target application) to which the first interface belongs; after the electronic device acquires the interface layout information, a target operation control can be displayed on the first interface according to the interface layout information. The method for displaying the target control on the first interface by the electronic device according to the interface layout information is specifically described in detail in the following embodiments.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the interface layout information may include P pieces of content entry information and N pieces of category identification information, where P and N are positive integers.

In the embodiment of the present invention, for each item information in the above P pieces of content item information, one piece of item information may be associated with one content item in the content of the first interface, and different pieces of item information may be associated with different content items. The electronic device may thus determine from the P content item information that the content of the first interface includes P content items.

In this embodiment of the present invention, for each of the N category identification information, one category identification information may be associated with one sub-content in each of the P content items, and different category identification information is associated with different sub-contents in the P content items. Thus, the electronic device can determine that each content item includes N pieces of sub-content according to the N pieces of category identification information. Further, in this embodiment of the present invention, the category identification information may be used to indicate content forms of the sub-content associated therewith, so that the electronic device may determine, according to the N category identification information, that each content entry includes N types of content, and the N types of content corresponding to different content entries are the same.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the content in the N types refers to content in the N types. Wherein, the content form of a content can be determined according to the category identification information associated with the content. For example, assuming that one content is "1.00", if the genre identification information associated with the content "1.00" corresponds to "money", the content "1.00" is a content in the form of money.

In this embodiment of the present invention, assuming that the content of the first interface includes P content items, each content item includes N types of content, and the N types of content items corresponding to different content items are the same, the content of the first interface may include N types of content, and each type of content may include P pieces of sub-content respectively.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the content format may be any possible format, such as "name", "date", "address", "yield", and "weather", and may be determined specifically according to an actual use requirement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the P content items may correspond to a scroll view container in the target application, where the scroll view container may include P view containers, and one view container corresponds to one content item; the N sub-contents in a content item correspond to one sub-view in the view container corresponding to the content item.

Illustratively, a first interface is a red packet recording interface for picking up a red packet in the chat application, the content of the first interface includes 3 (i.e. P-3) content entries, each content entry includes 2 different forms of sub-content; then as shown in table 1 below:

TABLE 1

As shown in table 1, the content of the first interface includes 3 content items, where the 3 content items correspond to a scroll view container in the chat application, and the scroll view container includes 3 view containers, which are: view container a corresponding to content item 1, view container b corresponding to content item 2, and view container c corresponding to content item 3. And the view container a includes a sub-view a1 corresponding to the sub-content 11, and a sub-view a2 corresponding to the sub-content 12; the view container b comprises a sub-view b1 corresponding to the sub-content 21 and a sub-view b2 corresponding to the sub-content 22; the view container c includes a sub-view c1 corresponding to the sub-content 31 and a sub-view c2 corresponding to the sub-content 32.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the electronic device displays the target manipulation control on the first interface, an identifier may be further displayed in an area where each content entry is located, and the identifier may be used to prompt a user that content in the identifier belongs to the same content entry. In the embodiment of the present invention, the identifier may also be referred to as a view container layout boundary, that is, one identifier indicates one view container.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the content of the first interface includes P content items, each content item includes content in N types, and the N types corresponding to different content items are the same; then, S204 described above can be specifically realized by S204a described below.

S204a, the electronic device responds to the second input, and at least one control is displayed in the region corresponding to each form of content in the N forms of content.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the at least one control may be a control corresponding to content in the same form in the target control. The at least one manipulation control may be associated with one of the N category identification information.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the at least one control may be one control (implementation mode 1), P control controls (implementation mode 2), or other number of control controls, which may be determined specifically according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, in implementation mode 1, in the content in the N types of formats, each type of content corresponds to one control; in this case, the target control controls are N control controls. In the implementation 2, in the N types of content, each type of content may correspond to P control widgets; in this case, the target manipulation controls are P × N manipulation controls.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, in implementation 1, the area corresponding to the content in each form may be an area where each sub-content in the first content item in the first interface is located; the first interface may be an area other than the area where the P content items are located. In the above implementation 2, the area corresponding to each form of content may be an area where each sub-content in each content item is located. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

The following describes the above-described embodiment 1 and the above-described embodiment 2 by way of example with reference to fig. 5.

Exemplarily, it is assumed that the content of the first interface includes 5 (i.e., P ═ 5) content items, each content item includes a sub-content in a form of "name", "time" (it should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the "time" form includes a date and a time), and a sub-content in a form of "amount", i.e., the content of the first interface includes 3 (i.e., N ═ 3) forms of content; then, in the implementation 1, as shown in fig. 5 (a), the electronic device may display, in a bottom area of the first interface (i.e., an area corresponding to each form of content), a manipulation control 51 corresponding to 5 pieces of sub-content in the form of "name", a manipulation control 52 corresponding to 5 pieces of sub-content in the form of "time", and a manipulation control 53 corresponding to 5 pieces of sub-content in the form of "amount", where the at least one manipulation control is one manipulation control, and the target manipulation control is 3 manipulation controls. In the above implementation 2, as shown in (b) in fig. 5, the electronic device displays one manipulation control in the area where each sub-content in each content entry is located (i.e., the area where each sub-content in each content entry is located), so that the sub-content in the form of "name" corresponds to 5 manipulation controls 54, the sub-content in the form of "time" corresponds to 5 manipulation controls 55, and the sub-content in the form of "amount" corresponds to 5 manipulation controls 56; namely, the at least one control is 5 control controls, and the target control is P × N control controls.

In the embodiment of the invention, because each form of content corresponds to at least one control in the target control, a user can trigger the electronic equipment to sort or screen the content in the first interface according to the content in any form by inputting the control corresponding to the content in any form, so that the flexibility of the electronic equipment to sort or screen the content in the first interface can be improved, and the man-machine interaction performance is improved.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, for the implementation 2, the S204a may be specifically implemented by the following S204a 1.

S204a1, the electronic device responds to the second input, and displays a control on each of the P sub-contents.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the step of displaying, by the electronic device, one control on each of the P pieces of sub-content includes: the electronic equipment respectively displays a control on P sub-contents corresponding to each form of content in the N forms of content of the first interface.

Exemplarily, assuming that the first interface is a red packet recording interface for receiving red packets in a chat application (i.e., a target application), as shown in fig. 4, the content of the first interface 40 includes 5 (i.e., P ═ 5) entries, each entry includes 3 (i.e., N ═ 3) forms of content, i.e., 3 sub-contents, which are respectively a "name" form of sub-content, a "time" form of sub-content, and a "amount" form of sub-content; then, each form of content in the first interface 40 includes 5 pieces of sub-content; thus, as shown in fig. 6 (a), after the user inputs (i.e., the second input) on the function identifier (i.e., the target function identifier) indicating the preset sort function, the electronic device may respond to the second input, as shown in fig. 6 (b), in the content of the first interface 40, one manipulation control 45 is displayed on each of the 5 sub-contents in the form of "name", and one manipulation control 46 is displayed on each of the 5 sub-contents in the form of "time", and one manipulation control 47 is displayed on each of the 5 sub-contents in the form of "amount"; namely, the electronic device displays a control on each of the P sub-contents corresponding to each form of content. It is to be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the target manipulation controls include 3 × 5 manipulation controls, and each form of content in the first interface corresponds to 5 manipulation controls.

In the embodiment of the invention, because the electronic device can display one control on each sub-content of the first interface, and each form of content corresponds to a plurality of control controls, when a user needs to sort or screen the content of the first interface in a certain form of content, the user can trigger the electronic device to sort or screen the content of the first interface according to the content in the certain form by inputting the control corresponding to any one sub-content of the content, so that the flexibility of triggering the electronic device to operate the content can be further improved, and the man-machine interaction performance can be improved.

Further, since each piece of sub-content is displayed with a control, the user can know which pieces of sub-content in the content of the first interface can be used as the sorting element or the screening element and the number of each type of sub-content according to the control displayed on each piece of sub-content, so that the user can conveniently verify the accuracy of the result of the preset function indicated by the target function identifier executed by the electronic device on the content of the first interface.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, in the possible implementation manner, that is, in the case that the target function identifier indicates the preset sorting function or the preset screening function in the electronic device, after the electronic device displays the target control on the first interface, a user may trigger the electronic device to call the preset sorting function or the preset screening function in the electronic device through an input to one of the target control controls, and execute the preset function indicated by the target function identifier on the content in the first interface.

For example, with reference to fig. 2, as shown in fig. 7, after S204, the interface content control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S205 to S207 described below.

S205, the electronic equipment receives a third input of the user to the first control in the target control.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the third input may be any possible form of input, such as click input, long-press input, and repeated-press input, which may be determined specifically according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. For the description of the input form of the third input, reference may be specifically made to the above description of the input form of the second input in S203, and details are not repeated here in order to avoid repetition.

S206, the electronic equipment responds to the third input, calls a preset sorting function or a preset screening function of the electronic equipment, and sorts or screens the P content items according to the content in the form corresponding to the first control.

In the embodiment of the invention, after receiving the third input of the user to the first control, the electronic device may call a preset sorting function or a preset screening function of the electronic device, and obtain the type identification information corresponding to the first control; then, the electronic device may obtain the content of the first interface, and determine, according to the category identification information, a sub-content corresponding to the category identification information in the P content items of the content of the first interface as a sorted sub-content or a screened sub-content; and then, according to the sequencing sub-contents or the screening sub-contents, sequencing or screening the P content items by adopting a preset sequencing function or a preset screening function. It is to be understood that these ranking sub-contents or filtering sub-contents are ranking elements or filtering elements determined by the user triggering the electronic device.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the preset sorting function and the preset filtering function are both based on content items. Specifically, the preset sorting function is to sort or filter the P content items according to the sorted sub-content or the filtered sub-content determined by the electronic device on the premise that the sub-content in each content item is kept unchanged.

And S207, the electronic equipment displays a second interface.

The second interface may include result information obtained by sorting or filtering the P content items by the electronic device.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the second interface is different from the first interface. The second interface may be displayed superimposed on the first interface.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, when the target function identifier indicates that the system is a sorting function, the second interface may further include a sorting setting area, and the sorting setting area may include an ascending control, a descending control, and a reselecting sorting element control. The ascending control is used for triggering the electronic equipment to sequence the P content items according to the ascending order; the descending control is used for triggering the electronic equipment to sort the P content items according to descending order; the reselecting and sorting element control is used for triggering the electronic equipment to cancel the display of the second interface, display the first interface and display the target control on the first interface, so that a user can trigger the electronic equipment to reselect and sort the sub-content.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may default to sort the P content items in an ascending order or a descending order, which may be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the target function identifier is used to indicate the preset filtering function, in order to facilitate the user to input the filtering condition, after the user performs the third input on the first control, the electronic device may further display an input control on the first interface, so that the user may input the filtering condition in the input control according to the actual use requirement of the user. In this way, after the user inputs the screening condition, the electronic device may screen out the content meeting the screening condition from the content in the form corresponding to the first control, use the content item including the content meeting the screening condition as the screened result information, and display the result information in the second interface.

Illustratively, after the above-mentioned S205, the interface content control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following S208.

S208, the electronic equipment responds to the third input and displays an input control on the first interface.

The input control can be used for inputting the screening condition.

Optionally, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the input control may include a plurality of options, and each option includes one piece of sub-content in the form corresponding to the first manipulation control, so that the user may input the filtering condition (the first mode) by selecting the piece of sub-content. Alternatively, the input control may include a condition display box, a search method selection identifier, and a condition input box (manner two). Wherein, the condition display column can be used for displaying the screening condition. The searching method selection mark can comprise a third mark and a fourth mark, the third mark indicates that the content is searched by the keyword of the electronic equipment, and the second mark indicates that the content is searched by the electronic equipment by the regular expression. The condition input field may be used to input a filter condition, and the target information may be information in the form of a keyword or a regular expression.

In the embodiment of the invention, because the electronic equipment can display the input control after the user inputs the first control, the user can input the screening condition meeting the screening requirement in the input control, and therefore, the electronic equipment can sort or screen the P content items according to the content in the form corresponding to the first control based on the screening condition, so that the screening result can meet the screening requirement of the user, and the accuracy of the electronic equipment in screening the content can be improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the electronic device displays the second interface, if the user performs an input on the target function identifier, the electronic device may cancel displaying the second interface and resume displaying the first interface; in this case, it means that the electronic device cancels the execution of the preset sorting function or the preset filtering function on the P content items.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the user may further trigger the electronic device to cancel execution of the preset sorting function or the preset filtering function on the P content items by inputting a return control or a return key of the electronic device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the electronic device cancels the execution of the preset sorting function or the preset filtering function on the P content items, the state of the target function control may be switched from being in the selected state to being in the unselected state.

The following describes an exemplary interface content control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention with reference to fig. 8 and 9.

Illustratively, the target function identifier indicates a preset sorting function as an example. Suppose that the electronic device displays one manipulation control on N sub-contents in each of P content items (content items included for the content of the first interface); then, as shown in fig. 8 (a), the content of the first interface 70 includes 5 (i.e., P ═ 5) content items 71, and each content item 71 includes therein 3 (i.e., N ═ 3) pieces of sub-content 72 in the form of "name", "date", and "amount"; the electronic device displays a control on 3 pieces of sub-content in each content entry 71, specifically, the electronic device may display a control 73 on the sub-content in the form of "name", a control 74 on the sub-content in the form of "time", and a control 75 on the sub-content in the form of "amount", so that the target control is 3 × 5 — 15 control controls; then, the user can click on the control 75 displayed on the sub-content "< 8.40" in the form of "amount", that is, the electronic device receives a third input of the user to the first control in the target control; then, the electronic device may invoke a preset screening function in response to the third input, and sort the 5 content items according to the 5 sub-contents in the form of "amount of money"; and as shown in (b) of fig. 8, the electronic device may display a second interface 76, where the second interface 76 includes 5 content items 77, the 5 content items 77 are the same as the content items in the first interface, and the 5 content items are arranged in the order of money amount from large to small.

Further illustratively, the target function identifier indicates a preset screening function as an example. Suppose that the electronic device displays one manipulation control on N sub-contents in each of P content items (content items included for the content of the first interface); then, as shown in fig. 9 (a), the content of the first interface 80 includes 5 (i.e., P ═ 5) content items 81, and each content item 81 includes therein 3 (i.e., N ═ 3) pieces of sub-content 82 in the form of "name", "date", and "amount"; the electronic device displays a control on 3 sub-contents in each content entry 81, specifically, the electronic device may display a control 83 on the sub-content in the form of "name", display a control 84 on the sub-content in the form of "time", and display a control 85 on the sub-content in the form of "amount", so that the target control is 3 × 5 — 15 control controls; then, the user can click on the control 85 displayed on the sub-content 8.40 in the form of the amount, that is, the electronic device receives a third input of the user on the first control in the target control, and then, the electronic device can call a preset screening function in response to the third input, and screen 5 content items according to 5 sub-contents in the form of the amount; further, and as shown in fig. 9 (b), the electronic device may display an input control 86 for the sub-content in the form of "amount" on the first interface 80, so that the user may input a filtering condition ". x 0" (indicating that the content item with the filtering amount mantissa of 0 is filtered) in the input control 86; then, as shown in (c) of fig. 9, the electronic device may display a third interface 87, and include 3 entries 88 in the third interface 87 having a monetary mantissa of 0 for the sub-content in the form of "monetary amount".

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the input control may include an option for selecting 5 pieces of sub-content in the form of "amount", so that the user may input the filtering condition by selecting the corresponding sub-content.

In the embodiment of the invention, because the user can trigger the electronic equipment to call the preset sorting function or the preset searching function of the electronic equipment according to the actual searching requirement of the user, the content meeting the searching requirement can be searched in the content of the first interface after sorting or screening the content of the first interface, and the content meeting the searching requirement can be searched without browsing each sub-content in the first interface one by the user, the process of searching the content by the user can be simplified, and the human-computer interaction performance is improved.

Another possible implementation: target function identification indicating a preset lookup function in an electronic device

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may display the target control in any possible area, such as a bottom area, a top area, a left area, or a right area, of the first interface, which may be determined specifically according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. For the descriptions of the bottom, the top, the left side and the right side, reference may be specifically made to the relevant descriptions in the above embodiments, and in order to avoid repetition, the descriptions are omitted here.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a user may input search information (for example, the following target information) in the target control, so that the electronic device searches for content corresponding to the search information in the first interface.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 11 (a), the target manipulation control 91 may include: an information display box 911, a search method selection flag, and an information input box (not shown in the drawing). Wherein the information display bar may be used to display the target information. The search method selection identifier may include a first identifier 912 and a second identifier 913, the first identifier may instruct the electronic device to search for content by using keywords, and the second identifier may instruct the electronic device to search for content by using regular expressions. The information input field may be used to input search information, which may be in the form of keywords, or regular expressions. It can be understood that the user inputs the search information in the target manipulation control, and specifically, the search information may be input in the information input field.

Optionally, in another possible implementation manner described above, that is, in the case that the target function identifier indicates a preset search function in the electronic device, after the electronic device displays the target control on the first interface, a user may trigger the electronic device to invoke the preset search function in the electronic device by inputting to the target control, and search, in the content of the first interface, content corresponding to information (for example, the following target information) input by the user.

And S211, displaying a third interface by the electronic equipment.

The third interface may include result information of the search.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, assuming that the content in the first interface is content 2, the electronic device may display the content 2 in the third interface, and display the search result information in a target form, for example, in a preset color, a preset font, or a preset brightness.

Exemplarily, it is assumed that the first interface is a red packet recording interface for receiving a red packet in the chat application, and the content of the first interface includes text content (i.e. meets the target condition); then, as shown in (a) of fig. 11, the electronic device may display the target manipulation control 91 on the first interface 90, so that the user may input the target information "grandchild cloud" in the target manipulation control 91, that is, the electronic device receives a fourth input of the target manipulation control from the user, and then, in response to the fourth input, the electronic device may call a preset search function of the electronic device, and use a keyword search method to search for content corresponding to the target information "grandchild cloud" in the content of the first interface, and as shown in (b) of fig. 11, the electronic device may display the third interface 92, where the content of the third interface 92 is the content of the first interface 90, and the electronic device displays a yellow identifier on the content "grandchild cloud", that is, highlights the content corresponding to the target information.

In the embodiment of the invention, because the user can trigger the electronic equipment to call the preset search function according to the actual search requirement of the user, and the content meeting the search requirement can be searched in the content of the first interface after the content of the first interface is searched, the content meeting the search requirement can be searched without the need that the user can search the content meeting the search requirement after browsing all the contents in the first interface in sequence, the process of searching the content by the user can be simplified, and the man-machine interaction performance is improved.

In the content display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, because the target control may be used to trigger a preset function (e.g., a preset sorting function, a preset screening function, or a preset search function) indicated by the target function identifier to be executed on the content of the interface currently displayed by the electronic device (e.g., the first interface in the implementation of the present invention), and the preset function is globally effective for the electronic device, even if the application program to which the interface currently displayed by the electronic device belongs does not support a certain function, the electronic device may still execute the preset function on the content in the interface, so that a process of searching for the content in the application program that does not support the function related to search may be simplified, thereby improving human-computer interaction performance.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the interface content control method shown in each method drawing is exemplarily described with reference to one drawing in the embodiment of the present invention.
