Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, "and/or" in the specification and claims means at least one of connected objects, a character "/" generally means that a preceding and succeeding related objects are in an "or" relationship.

In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" or "e.g.," should not be construed as advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present concepts related in a concrete fashion.

In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "a plurality" means two or more, for example, a plurality of objects means two or more objects, and the like.

The embodiment of the application provides an object display method and device, which can receive a first input of moving a first object in a first interface to a second interface; and in response to the first input, displaying the first object or a first identifier in a first hover region displayed on the second interface, the first identifier indicating at least one object in the first hover region that includes the first object. The first floating area is an area which is created in the second interface and used for displaying the first object under the condition that the second interface has no vacant position for displaying the first object. By means of the scheme, when a user moves a certain object (such as a pendant or an application icon) displayed on a first interface from the first interface to a second interface, in the case that an empty position for displaying the object does not exist in the second interface, because a first floating area for displaying the object is created in the second interface in the case that an empty position for displaying the object does not exist in the second interface is displayed on the second interface, displaying the object in the first floating area may be triggered, or displaying an identifier for indicating at least one object including the object in the first floating area. Therefore, under the condition that no vacant position exists in the interface, the purpose of moving the object across the interface can be directly realized without triggering the moving object for many times by a user, so that the operation of moving the application icon and the pendant across the interface of the electronic equipment is simplified, and the success rate of moving the application icon and the pendant across the interface of the electronic equipment is improved.

The object display method, the device and the electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides an object display method, which includes the following steps S101 and S102.

S101, the object display device receives a first input of moving a first object in the first interface to the second interface.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the desktop of the electronic device may include a plurality of desktop interfaces, the first interface and the second interface may be two desktop interfaces of the plurality of desktop interfaces included in the desktop of the electronic device, and the first interface and the second interface may be two interfaces that are displayed adjacently or not adjacently.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the first object may be a desktop pendant or an icon, and the number of the first objects may be one or more. In addition, the number of the first object occupying the icon bits may be one or more. Wherein, one icon position is a display position occupied by one application icon.

For example, the first object may be a desktop pendant. The first object is a weather pendant displayed in the desktop, and the weather pendant occupies 3 icon positions.

For example, the first object may be an icon. The first object is an application icon in a desktop, and the application icon occupies 1 icon position; the first object is a folder in the desktop, the folder includes 2 application icons, and the folder occupies 2 icon positions.

It should be noted that the first object may be a first object moved to the second interface; or the first object is the Nth object moved to the second interface, and N is an integer greater than 1, namely before the first object is moved, other objects are moved to the second interface.

Optionally, the first input may be a touch input, a voice input, or a gesture input for moving the first object in the first interface to the second interface. For example, the trigger input is an input by a user to move a first object in a first interface to a second interface.

And S102, the object display device responds to the first input, and displays the first object or the first identifier in the first suspension area displayed on the second interface.

Wherein the first identifier is used for indicating at least one object including the first object in the first hovering area. The first floating area is an area created in the second interface for displaying the first object in a case where there is no vacant position for displaying the first object in the second interface.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the hovering area may be displayed in an overlapping manner on the interface of the electronic device, that is, the hovering area is displayed in an overlapping manner on the interface of the electronic device. For example, the first hover region is displayed superimposed over the second interface.

For different first objects, the foregoing S102 specifically includes the following two cases:

in one possible scenario, if the first object is the first object moved to the second interface, then there is no first hover region at the second interface. Then S102 may specifically include: the object display device displays a first hovering area on the second interface in response to the first input, and displays a first object or a first identifier in the first hovering area. The first hovering area only comprises a first object, and the first identifier is used for indicating the first object included in the first hovering area.

In another possible scenario, if the first object is the nth object moved to the second interface, the first hover region has been created at the second interface. Then S102 may specifically include: the object display means displays a first object or a first logo in a first hover region displayed on the second interface in response to the first input. The first floating area comprises N objects including a first object, and the first mark is used for indicating the N objects including the first object in the first floating area.

Accordingly, the number of the at least one object may be one or more. Specifically, the at least one object may include two possible cases as follows:

(1) if the number of the at least one object is one, that is, the at least one object is the first object, the at least one object may be a desktop pendant or an icon.

(2) If the number of the at least one object is multiple, namely the at least one object is multiple objects including the first object, the at least one object is multiple desktop hangers; or at least one object is a plurality of icons; or at least one object includes a desktop pendant and an icon.

It should be noted that after the first hover region is created in the second interface, one possible scenario is: the second interface may have a vacant position for displaying the first object, that is, the user may move the object displayed in the second interface and trigger to vacate the vacant position in the second interface for the first object; another possible scenario is that there is still no free position in the second interface for displaying the first object.

Illustratively, the first object is taken as a desktop pendant, and the object display device is taken as a mobile phone. As shown in fig. 2 (a), icons of pendant 1, pendant 2, and 8 application programs, that is, an icon of "application 1", an icon of "application 2", an icon of "application 3", … …, and an icon of "application 8", are displayed on the desktop interface 01 (i.e., the first interface) of the mobile phone. If the user wants to trigger the pendant 2 to be displayed on another desktop interface, the user can drag the pendant 2 to the desktop interface 02. After the mobile phone receives the drag input (i.e., the first input) of the user, in response to the drag input, one possible way is to: as shown in fig. 2 (b), since there is no free position in the desktop interface 02 for displaying the pendant 2, the mobile phone may display the identifier 04 "1 pendant" (i.e., the first identifier) for indicating the pendant 2 in the floating area 03 (i.e., the first floating area) that is displayed on the desktop interface 02 in an overlapping manner; alternatively, as shown in fig. 2 (c), since there is no free position in the desktop interface 02 for displaying the pendant 2, the mobile phone may display a pendant 05 (i.e., a first object) in the hover area 03 (i.e., a first hover area) that is displayed on the desktop interface 02 in an overlapping manner. It will be appreciated that the hover region 03 may be created for the cell phone after responding to an input dragging the pendant 2 to the desktop interface 02, or for the cell phone to move across interfaces according to other objects before dragging the pendant 2 to the desktop interface 02.

An embodiment of the present application provides an object display method, where when a user moves an object (e.g., a pendant or an application icon) displayed on a first interface from the first interface to a second interface, if there is no free position for displaying the object in the second interface, and if there is no free position for displaying the object in the second interface displayed on the second interface, a first hover region for displaying the object is created in the second interface, so that displaying the object in the first hover region may be triggered, or an identifier for indicating at least one object including the object in the first hover region is displayed. Therefore, under the condition that no vacant position exists in the interface, the purpose of moving the object across the interface can be directly realized without triggering the moving object for many times by a user, so that the operation of moving the application icon and the pendant across the interface of the electronic equipment is simplified, and the success rate of moving the application icon and the pendant across the interface of the electronic equipment is improved.

Optionally, for the first possible case mentioned above: the second interface does not include the first hover region prior to receiving the first input. Specifically, the above S102 may be implemented by the following S102A and S102B; alternatively, the above S102 may be implemented by the following S102A and S102C. Wherein, S102B and S102C are alternatively executed.

S102A, the object display device responds to the first input, in which case a first hover region is created over the second interface.

Optionally, the "no vacant position for displaying the first object in the second interface" in S102 includes two possible cases: (1) all objects are displayed at the display positions of the second interface, so that the second interface has no vacant positions, namely, the vacant positions for displaying the first objects do not exist in the second interface; (2) and the second interface has spare positions, but the number of icon bits occupied by the first object is greater than that of the icon bits included in the existing spare positions, so that the existing spare positions of the second interface cannot display the first object, namely, the second interface does not have spare positions for displaying the first object.

It is to be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the second interface does not include the first hovering area before receiving the first input, so that the object display apparatus may determine whether there is an empty location for displaying the first object in the second interface after the object display apparatus responds to the first input. If the object display device judges that the second interface has a vacant position for displaying the first object, the object display device does not create a first floating area on the second interface, so that a user can directly drag the first object to a target vacant position in the second interface to trigger the object display device to display the first object at the target vacant position; on the contrary, if the object display apparatus determines that the second interface does not have a vacant position for displaying the first object, the object display apparatus may create a first hovering area on the second interface, i.e., the object display apparatus displays the first hovering area on the second interface, so that the following S102B or S102C may be continuously performed.

S102B, in a case where the first hover region includes a region for displaying the first object, the object display device displays the first object in the first hover region.

Alternatively, the above-mentioned "the first hovering area includes an area for displaying the first object" in S102B means that: the first hover region is capable of completely displaying the first object so that the object display device can display the first object directly in the first hover region.

Illustratively, and still taking fig. 2 as an example. As shown in (c) of fig. 2, since the hover region 03 (i.e., the first hover region) includes a region for displaying "pendant 2" (i.e., the first object), i.e., the first hover region can completely display "pendant 2", the object display apparatus can display one pendant 05 (i.e., the first object) in the hover region 03.

S102C, in a case where the first hover region does not include a region for displaying the first object, the object display device displays the first logo in the first hover region.

Alternatively, the above-mentioned "the region for displaying the first object is not included in the first hover region" in S102B means: the first hover region may not be able to fully display the first object so that the object display device may display the first logo in the first hover region.

Illustratively, and still taking fig. 2 as an example. As shown in fig. 2 (b), since the area for displaying the "pendant 2" (i.e., the first object) is not included in the hovering area 03 (i.e., the first hovering area), i.e., the first hovering area cannot completely display the first object, the object display apparatus may display the mark 04 (i.e., the first mark) in the hovering area 03.

Optionally, after S102A, the object display method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include: an input that a user drags a plurality of objects to a first hover region displayed on a second interface is received, and the plurality of objects are displayed in the first hover region in response to the input. Wherein an object of the plurality of objects may be from any desktop interface of the electronic device.

In the object display method provided by the embodiment of the application, before the first input is received, the second interface does not include the first floating area, so that when the input that the user moves the first object of the first interface to the second interface is received, the object display device can judge whether the second interface has a vacant position for displaying the first object according to the actual situation, and thus, under the condition that the vacant position for displaying the first object does not exist in the second interface, the first floating area is created on the second interface, that is, the display area displayed on the second interface after the first object crosses the interface is provided for the first object. Further, it may be determined whether to directly display the first object in the first hovering area or to display the first identifier in the first hovering area according to the fact whether the first hovering area can accommodate the first object. In this way, the first levitation region can be more reasonably utilized.

Optionally, after the foregoing S102, the object display method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following S103 to S106.

S103, the object display device receives a second input to the first floating area.

Optionally, the second input may be a touch input, a voice input, or a gesture input of the user on the first hovering area. For example, the trigger input is a user click input to the first hover region. Of course, the second input may also be other possible inputs. The method is determined according to actual conditions, and the method is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

And S104, the object display device responds to the second input, updates and displays the first suspension area displayed on the second interface into a second suspension area, and displays at least one object in the second suspension area.

The size of the second suspension area is larger than that of the first suspension area.

Optionally, the S104 specifically includes: and the object display device responds to a second input, updates and displays the first suspension area displayed on the second interface into a second suspension area, and expands and displays at least one object in the second suspension area according to a preset arrangement sequence. For example, the preset arrangement order is a sequence in which each object in the at least one object moves to the second interface.

Specifically, one possible scenario is:

in a case where the first hover region displays the first identifier, the object display apparatus updates and displays the first hover region displayed on the second interface as a second hover region in response to the second input, and displays at least one object indicated by the first identifier in the second hover region.

Another possible scenario is:

in the case where the first hover region displays the first object, the object display apparatus updates and displays the first hover region displayed on the second interface as a second hover region and displays at least one object including the first object in the second hover region in response to the second input, since a display area of the first hover region may be insufficient to display at least one object including the first object.

S105, the object display device receives a third input to the target object of the at least one object.

Optionally, the target object may be any one of at least one object, for example, the target object is a first object. In addition, for specific description of the target object, reference may be made to the description of the first object in the foregoing embodiment, and details are not described here again.

Optionally, the third input may be a touch input, a voice input, or a gesture input of the target object by the user. For example, the trigger input is a drag input of the target object by the user. Of course, the third input may also be other possible inputs. The method is determined according to actual conditions, and the method is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

Optionally, before the step S105, the object display method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include: and receiving input of a user to a second interface, and displaying the free position for displaying the target object on the second interface in response to the input. Therefore, the user can trigger the object displayed in the second interface to move according to actual needs, and therefore the free position for displaying can be provided for the target object.

And S106, in response to the third input, the object display device displays the target object at a first vacant position in at least one vacant position when the second interface has at least one vacant position for displaying the target object.

And each vacant position in the at least one vacant position is a position where the target object is not displayed in the second interface and is used for displaying the target object.

It should be noted that each of the at least one free position is a position where an object is not displayed in the second interface and is used for displaying a target object, that is, each free position can be used for displaying the target object. It will be appreciated that the free position for displaying the target object is different for different target objects. Further, the number of the occupied icon bits for displaying the free position of the target object is also different. Wherein, one icon position is a display position occupied by one application icon in the electronic equipment.

For example, assuming that the target object is a 1 × 2 pendant, one vacant position for displaying the 1 × 2 pendant occupies 2 icon positions, that is, the one vacant position is a position including 2 icon positions. Assuming that the target object is 1 application icon, one vacant position for displaying the 1 application icon occupies one icon position, that is, the one vacant position is one icon position.

Optionally, the first vacant position may include the following 3 possible cases:

one possible scenario is:

and under the condition that one free position for displaying the target object exists in the second interface, the first free position is the free position. Therefore, the user can drag the target object to the first free position in the second interface according to actual needs, and the target object is displayed at the first free position through the triggering object display device.

Another possible scenario is:

in a case where there are a plurality of vacant positions for displaying the target object in the second interface, the first vacant position may be any one of the plurality of vacant positions. Therefore, the user can drag the target object to a first vacant position in the plurality of vacant positions in the second interface according to actual needs, and the target object is triggered to be displayed at the first vacant position by the object display device.

Yet another possible scenario is:

in a case where there are a plurality of vacant positions for displaying the target object in the second interface, the first vacant position may be a first vacant position among the plurality of vacant positions. Therefore, the user can input the target object according to actual needs, and the target object is displayed at the first vacant position, namely the first vacant position, by the triggering object display device.

Optionally, after S106, the object display method provided in this embodiment of the present application may further include:

the object display device cancels display of the target object in the first hover region or updates the first identifier to the second identifier. Wherein the second identifier is used for indicating an object included in the first hover region after the target object is undisplayed.

Illustratively, the object display device is taken as a mobile phone. As shown in fig. 3 (a), 16 icons of application programs, that is, an icon of "application a", an icon of "application B", and an icon of … …, and an icon of "application S", are displayed on the desktop interface 02 (that is, the second interface) of the mobile phone, and the mark 04 is displayed in the hover area 03 (that is, the first hover area) that is displayed on the desktop interface 02 in an overlapping manner. If the user wants to see a pendant in the hover region 03, the user can click on the hover region 03. After the mobile phone receives the click input (i.e., the second input), as shown in fig. 3 (b), the mobile phone updates and displays the hover region 03 as the hover region 06 (i.e., the second hover region), and displays the pendant 2 and the pendant 1 in the second hover region. If the user wants to move the pendant 1 to the free position 07 in the desktop interface 02, the user can drag the pendant 1 to the free position 07. After the mobile phone receives the drag input (i.e., the third input) of the user, in response to the drag input, as shown in (c) of fig. 3, the mobile phone displays the pendant 1 at the vacant position 07 (i.e., the first vacant position).

Optionally, after S106, the object display method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include: in a possible case, if the first hovering area still displays other objects than the target object, the object displaying means keeps displaying the first hovering area; in one possible case, if the first hovering area does not display any other object than the target object, the object displaying means cancels the display of the first hovering area.

According to the object display method provided by the embodiment of the application, a user can input one input to trigger the object display device to update and display the first floating area into the second floating area, and at least one object is expanded and displayed in the second floating area. Further, the user may trigger the object display device to display the target object at the first free position in the second interface when the second interface has a free position for displaying the target object through another input to a target object meeting the requirement in the at least one object according to an actual need. In this manner, objects moving across the interface may be caused to be displayed in a vacant position that is satisfactory to the user.

Optionally, after displaying the first object or the first identifier in the first hover region displayed on the second interface, if the user wants to trigger resuming the display interface of the first object, the user may trigger to interrupt the operation on the first object. For example, after the above S102, the object display method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following S107 and S108.

And S107, the object display device receives a fourth input to the first floating area.

Optionally, the fourth input may be a touch input, a voice input, or a gesture input of the user on the first hovering area. For example, the trigger input is a double-click input by the user to the first hover region. Of course, the fourth input may also be other possible inputs. The method is determined according to actual conditions, and the method is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

And S108, the object display device responds to the fourth input, cancels the display of the first floating area and redisplays at least one object in at least one initial interface respectively.

Wherein one object corresponds to one initial interface. The one initial interface is an interface for displaying the one object before displaying the one object in the first hover region.

Alternatively, the above-mentioned "cancel displaying the first hovering area" in S108 may include three possible cases:

one possible scenario is: in the case where the first object is displayed in the first hovering area, at least one object including the first object and the first hovering area displayed in the first hovering area are canceled.

Another possible scenario is: and under the condition that the first floating area displays the first mark, canceling the first mark and the first floating area displayed in the first floating area.

Yet another possible scenario is: and under the condition that the first object and the first identifier are displayed in the first floating area, canceling the first object and the first identifier displayed in the first floating area and the first floating area.

Illustratively, and still taking fig. 2 as an example. As shown in fig. 2 (B), 16 icons of application programs, that is, an icon of "application a", an icon of "application B", and an icon of … …, and an icon of "application S", are displayed on the desktop interface 02 (that is, the second interface) of the mobile phone, and the mark 04 is displayed in the hover area 03 (that is, the first hover area) that is displayed on the desktop interface 02 in an overlapping manner. If the user wants to interrupt the cross-interface moving operation of the pendant included in the hover region 03, the user can double-click on the hover region 03. After the mobile phone receives the double-click input (i.e., the fourth input), the mobile phone cancels the display of the hover area 03 in the desktop interface 02, and as shown in fig. 2 (a), the mobile phone puts one of the hangers indicated by the identifier 04: the "pendant 2" is redisplayed in the desktop interface 01 (i.e., the initial interface).

In the object display method provided by the embodiment of the application, in the case that the first object or the first identifier is displayed in the first hover region displayed on the second interface, if the user wants to interrupt the movement operation of at least one object included in the first hover region, the user may trigger the object display device to respectively redisplay each object in the at least one object in an initial interface displayed before the object is displayed in the first hover region through an input to the first hover region. Therefore, the user can trigger the cancellation of the first floating area according to needs, so that the running resources of the electronic equipment are saved, and at least one object included in the first floating area is recovered to the original display interface.

Optionally, at least one object is a pendant, that is, in the case that the implementation manner in the above embodiment only supports a moving operation on the pendant, the object display method provided in the embodiment of the present application provides an implementation manner for a moving operation on an application icon.
