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 will be appreciated that the data so used may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances such that embodiments of the application may be practiced in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein, and that the terms "first," "second," and the like are generally used herein in a generic sense and do not limit the number of terms, e.g., the first term can be one or more than one. 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.

The content editing method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a scene in which a user edits content.

For example, in a scenario where a user edits content, as shown in fig. 1, when the user is editing characters, if the user wants to insert a new character into the middle of the edited content, the user needs to click the position where the character is to be inserted with a finger and move a cursor to the position. However, since the contact area between the finger of the user and the screen is much larger than the distance between the fingers and the text, the operation precision of the user is low, and the cursor usually needs to be moved to the correct position by multiple operations, which results in low operation efficiency.

Aiming at the problem, in the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, the user does not need to click the screen to adjust the position of the cursor, and when the user wants to move the cursor, the user only needs to adjust the posture of the screen, so that the cursor can move from the position with higher screen to the position with lower screen, and the operation precision and the operation efficiency of the user in moving the cursor are greatly improved.

The following describes in detail a content editing method provided in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

As shown in fig. 2, a content editing method provided in an embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 201 and 202:

step 201, the content editing apparatus receives a first input for adjusting the screen gesture.

Illustratively, the screen gestures described above include: a folded state of the screen, for example, folding or unfolding of the screen; the tilt of the screen is, for example, horizontal or at an angle to the horizontal.

Illustratively, the first input is an input for adjusting the screen posture, for example, the first input may be an input for folding the screen, an input for unfolding the screen, or an input for turning the screen in any direction by any angle in a three-dimensional space. The screen may be a foldable screen or a flexible screen.

Step 202, the content editing apparatus moves a cursor on the first interface according to the target direction in response to the first input.

Wherein, the target direction is determined according to the gravity direction and the target information; the target information includes at least one of: folding direction information of the screen, and tilting direction information of the screen.

For example, the first interface may be a content editing interface or a content browsing interface, and the content may be text content or other content including pictures. For example, the user uses an input method to input characters, and the interface includes the characters that the user has input; or, the user browses the interface of news or a webpage, and when the user wants to copy the content in the interface, a cursor for displaying the content of the user copying interface in the interface can be triggered by long-press input.

Illustratively, when the content editing apparatus receives a first input from the user, the cursor in the first interface moves according to the target direction, specifically, the cursor moves from a higher position to a lower position on the screen. That is, when the user wants to move the cursor, the position of the screen in the area where the cursor is located needs to be higher than the target position by folding, bending, or turning the screen. The target position is the final position where the user wants to move the cursor.

For example, as shown in fig. 3 (a), in a text editing interface of an electronic device, when a user wants to move a cursor in the interface from right to left, the position of the screen in the area where the cursor is located may be higher than a target position by bending or folding the right screen to left according to the method shown in fig. 3 (B), and then the cursor may move from right to left. Similarly, referring to fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4 (a), if the user wants to move the cursor downward, the upper half of the screen may be higher than the lower half of the screen by turning the screen, so that the cursor moves from top to bottom. As shown in fig. 4 (B), the user can also move the cursor in the direction of the lower left corner by raising the upper right corner of the screen. Taking the screen as an example, at this time, the included angle between the moving direction of the cursor and the vertical direction is approximately the same as the inclination angle of the screen.

For example, the content editing apparatus may turn on the cursor movement function after receiving a specific input of the user, which may be an input of the user to fold or bend the screen into a specific form. Further, the screen may not be on an absolutely horizontal plane, and therefore, the function of moving the cursor may be triggered in the case where the inclination angle of the screen exceeds a predetermined angle.

For example, in order to facilitate the user to operate the editing region, after the content editing apparatus triggers the function of moving the cursor, the content in the preset region range of the position of the cursor may be enlarged, so as to facilitate possible gesture operation of the user.

In the content editing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, a user may move a cursor by adjusting the form of the screen itself or the posture of the screen in the three-dimensional space. The cursor moves in the direction of gravity along the direction of the inclination of the screen. It will be appreciated that the first input described above is used to determine a direction of movement of the cursor, including: the direction of gravity, combined with the left or right or up or down relative to the screen, determines whether the movement is specifically to the left or right, up or down.

Therefore, after the electronic equipment receives the first input used for adjusting the screen posture of the user, the electronic equipment is combined with the gravity direction according to the folding direction information of the screen and/or the inclination direction information of the screen, and then the target direction in which the cursor needs to move is determined. When a user wants to move the cursor on the first interface, the cursor can move from a higher position to a lower position on the screen by adjusting the posture of the screen, so that the operation precision and the operation efficiency of the user on the cursor are improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the content editing apparatus may determine the target direction according to the gravity direction and the target information, so that when the user adjusts the posture of the screen, the cursor can move from an area with a higher screen position to an area with a lower screen position along the screen.

For example, before moving the cursor on the first interface in the step 202 according to the target direction, the content editing method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps 203a1 and 203a 2:

step 203a1, the content editing device determines the moving trend of the cursor according to the target information.

Wherein, the moving trend is used for indicating the moving direction of the cursor capable of moving on the screen. The movement trend may include moving on a target curve, which is a straight line on a plane on which the screen is located.

Illustratively, the target curve is approximately parallel to the tilt angle of the screen. In the case that the screen is a folding screen or a flexible screen, the inclination angle of the screen may be an inclination angle of the screen in the area where the cursor is located. It should be noted that, if the screen is a flexible screen, the inclination angle of the screen can be regarded as an angle of a tangential direction of the screen in the area where the cursor is located.

It will be appreciated that the target curve may be any straight line in the three-dimensional space where the screen is located, and the straight line may be represented by any two points in the coordinate system of the three-dimensional space. The moving direction of the cursor is not a straight line but a curve approximate to the straight line, limited to the screen size.

Step 203a2, the content editing device determines the target direction according to the moving trend and the gravity direction.

Wherein the target direction is a direction along a gravity direction in the moving direction.

Illustratively, the moving direction includes a direction along the screen tilt, and two directions, i.e., upward and downward. In combination with the direction of gravity, the direction of movement of the cursor, i.e. the above-mentioned target direction, may be determined. The target direction is a direction downward along the screen inclination direction. That is, the direction of movement of the cursor on the screen always moves from a region with a higher screen position to a region with a lower screen position.

For example, the content editing apparatus may acquire the current posture of the screen in accordance with a gyroscope provided in the electronic device. Including the tilt direction of the screen, and tilt angle, etc.

Therefore, the electronic equipment can determine the moving direction of the cursor by combining the gravity factor according to the inclination condition of the screen, and then move the cursor according to the direction.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the user may enable the content editing apparatus to start moving the cursor by adjusting the input of the screen gesture, and after the cursor is moved to the position that the user wants to move, the user may also enable the content editing apparatus to stop moving the cursor by further adjusting the screen gesture.

After the step 202, the content editing method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps 204a1 and 204a 2:

step 204a1, the content editing apparatus receives a second input for adjusting the screen pose.

Illustratively, the second input is also an input for adjusting the posture of the screen, similar to the first input, except that the first input is folding, bending or tilting the screen to form an angle with the horizontal plane; the second input is to restore the screen to the unfolded and horizontally placed state, so that the included angle between the screen and the horizontal plane approaches zero. Especially the screen in which the light is located, the angle with the horizontal plane is close to zero, i.e. smaller than the predetermined angle.

In step 204a2, the content editing apparatus responds to the second input, and stops moving the cursor if the tilt angle of the screen of the area where the cursor is located in the horizontal direction is smaller than the preset angle.

Illustratively, after the content editing apparatus receives the second input of the user, only the tilt angle of the screen in the horizontal direction of the area where the cursor is located is considered regardless of the posture of the screen. If the second input adjusts the inclination angle of the screen of the area where the cursor is located in the horizontal direction to be smaller than the preset angle, the content editing device stops the movement of the cursor.

For example, as shown in fig. 3 (B), after the user bends and raises the screen, the content editing apparatus moves the cursor to the left. If the user wants to stop moving the cursor, the right screen can be restored to the horizontal state, or the left screen can be bent, so that the included angle between the screen of the area where the cursor is located and the horizontal plane is smaller than the preset angle, and the content editing device stops moving the cursor.

In this way, the user can cause the content editing apparatus to stop moving the cursor by adjusting the screen gesture.

Alternatively, in this embodiment of the present application, after the content editing apparatus starts moving the cursor, if an input that the user stops moving the cursor is not received, the movement of the cursor may be automatically stopped when a certain condition is satisfied.

After the step 202, the content editing method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 205 a:

step 205a, if the cursor moves to the lowest point of the screen along the gravity direction, or the inclination angle of the screen in the horizontal direction of the area where the cursor is located is smaller than a preset angle, stopping moving the cursor.

Illustratively, the lowest point of the screen in the gravity direction may be the lowest point of the screen in the gravity direction within a movable range of the cursor on the screen.

Illustratively, the content editing apparatus stops moving the cursor similarly to when receiving the second input of the user, except that the cursor moves to the boundary of the movable range, resulting in no movement, when the cursor moves to a screen area having an angle smaller than a preset angle with the horizontal plane, the content editing apparatus also stops moving the cursor.

For example, as shown in fig. 3 (B), when the cursor moves to the position as shown in fig. 30a, the tilt angle of the screen of the area where the cursor is currently located in the horizontal direction is smaller than the preset angle, and at this time, even if the cursor has not moved to the boundary of the movable range, the cursor still stops moving.

In this way, after the content editing apparatus starts moving the cursor, if the input of the user stopping moving the cursor is not received, the content editing apparatus stops moving the cursor if a certain condition is satisfied.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the content editing apparatus moves the position of the cursor, and may be used to select content in addition to inserting new content at the cursor position.

Illustratively, the step 202 may include the following steps 202 a:

step 202a, the content editing apparatus moves the cursor according to the target direction in response to the first input, and selects the content between the initial position of the cursor and the current position of the cursor along with the movement of the cursor.

For example, after the cursor starts to move, the content editing device will select the content between the starting position of the cursor and the current position of the cursor each time the cursor moves, in a manner similar to the content selected by the existing moving cursor.

For example, the starting position when the cursor starts to move is located at row 3, column 4, the content editing apparatus moves the cursor downward by one row, and after the 4 th row and column 4 are reached, the content editing apparatus will select the content between the 4 th row and column 4 of row 3 and column 4. I.e. the content editing device will select all content after row 3, column 4 and before row 4, column 4.

Illustratively, after the content editing apparatus selects the content in the above manner, the user may edit the selected content by a specific input, including: copy, paste, cut, etc. The specific inputs may include: the input such as long pressing, short pressing, dragging and the like can start different functions through the combination of different input modes.

For example, when the content editing apparatus completes the selection, the selected content may be locked, and then moved to a new position by moving the selected content in the same manner as the above-described cursor movement.

Therefore, the content editing device can select the content between the initial position of the cursor and the current position of the cursor when the cursor is moved, and a user can conveniently further operate the selected content.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, in addition to providing the above manner for selecting content, when there are many selected contents, another manner for selecting content is provided, so that more contents can be selected quickly.

Illustratively, the cursor includes a first cursor and a second cursor, and the step 202 may further include the following step 202 b:

step 202b, the content editing apparatus, in response to the first input, moves the first cursor in a first direction, moves the second cursor in a second direction, and selects the content between the current position of the first cursor and the current position of the second cursor along with the movement of the first cursor and the second cursor.

Wherein the first direction and the second direction are determined according to the gravity direction and the target information.

Illustratively, the selection mode of the two cursors is generally applicable to a foldable screen or a flexible screen. And, the position of the first input folding or bending screen is located between the first cursor and the second cursor. After the content editing device receives a first input of a user for folding or bending the screen, because the folding or bending position of the screen is positioned between the first cursor and the second cursor and the folding or bending directions of the two sides of the screen are downward towards the gravity direction, according to the gravity direction and the target information, the moving direction of the first cursor and the moving direction of the second cursor can be determined to be different, and the first cursor and the second cursor respectively move from a higher area to a lower area of the two sides of the screen, so that the content can be selected more quickly.

For example, as shown in fig. 5 (a), two cursors are displayed on the content editing interface, and the position where the user bends the screen is located between the two cursors, the two cursors will move to two sides of the screen respectively. As shown in fig. 5 (B), if the position where the user bends the screen is located on the left side of the two cursors, both cursors move to the right side of the screen. Therefore, the position of the user's bent screen must be located between two cursors for quick selection.

For example, in this embodiment of the application, the content editing apparatus may further adjust the moving speed of the cursor according to the size of the inclination angle of the screen of the area where the cursor is located in the horizontal direction, where the larger the inclination angle of the screen of the area where the cursor is located in the horizontal direction, the faster the moving speed of the cursor is, and conversely, the smaller the inclination angle of the screen of the area where the cursor is located in the horizontal direction, the smaller the moving speed of the cursor is.

For example, if the user wants to make the content editing apparatus stop moving the cursor, the content editing apparatus may be made to stop moving the cursor by the second input according to the method of step 204a2 described above.

In this way, the content editing device can select the content more quickly by moving the two cursors simultaneously.

According to the content editing method provided by the embodiment of the application, after the electronic equipment receives the first input of the user for adjusting the screen posture, the electronic equipment is combined with the gravity direction according to the folding direction of the screen and/or the inclination direction of the screen, and then the target direction of the cursor to be moved is determined. Specifically, the electronic device may determine a movement tendency indicating a movement direction of the cursor on the screen according to the target information, and then, the electronic device determines a direction along the gravity direction in the movement direction according to the movement tendency and the gravity direction. When a user wants to move the cursor on the first interface, the cursor can move from a higher position to a lower position on the screen by adjusting the posture of the screen, so that the operation precision and the operation efficiency of the user on the cursor are improved.

In the content editing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the execution main body may be a content editing apparatus, or a control module in the content editing apparatus for executing the content editing method.
