Technical Field

The application belongs to the technical field of display, and particularly relates to a display control method, electronic equipment and a readable storage medium.

Background

At present, people can not leave electronic equipment in work and life, so that more and more operations are performed on the electronic equipment by people, and more historical data are generated.

Generally, when a user needs to review historical data, the following situations are encountered. For example, when shopping online, a user needs to find a browsing history record by looking at a product of a mood meter and comparing the product with a product just looked at, and find related links in a large number of browsing history records, which is time-consuming and labor-consuming. For another example, when a user registers an account, the user needs to fill personal information such as an address, and if the personal information is filled in midway, the phenomenon of flash back occurs, so that the user cannot find the previously filled information and can only rewrite the information. For another example, when browsing a web page, to view a page browsed earlier, the backspace key needs to be clicked all the time. It can be seen that, based on the above situations, the user needs to review the historical data, which results in complicated operation.

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.

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 display control method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a display control method according to an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to an electronic device, and includes:

step 110: a first input of a user to an interface backspace child control on a timeline control is received.

The first input comprises touch input performed by a user on a screen, and is not limited to input of clicking, sliding, dragging and the like; the first input may also be a first operation, where the first operation includes a blank operation of the user, and is not limited to a gesture action operation, a face action operation, and the like, and the first operation also includes an operation of a physical key on the device, and is not limited to a press operation and the like. Furthermore, the first input includes one or more inputs, wherein the plurality of inputs may be continuous or intermittent.

In this step, the timeline control can be a timeline displayed on the screen.

Furthermore, an interface backspacing sub-control is arranged on the time axis control, and a user can perform first input on the interface backspacing sub-control, so that the interface backspacing sub-control moves on the time axis control.

Alternatively, the interface backspace child control may be a slider that the user may click and drag to move around on the timeline.

This step applies in the scene where the timeline control is displayed.

In reference, the lower right corner of the display interface displays a "backspace" control, and the user clicks the "backspace" control to display a timeline control. For example, the "back" control is an arrow control.

In reference, the user clicks the "setting" control, enters the setting interface, clicks the "history rollback" control, enters the history rollback setting interface, clicks the "time axis setting" control (as shown in fig. 2), enters the time axis setting interface (as shown in fig. 3), and displays the time axis control 1.

In the application scenario of this step, for example, the user drags the interface backspace child control to the first position of the timeline control.

Step 120: in response to the first input, the interface backspace child control is moved to a first position of the timeline control.

Optionally, each position on the time axis corresponds to a time, and the interval duration between two adjacent times on the time axis is the minimum time unit.

In the present embodiment, the respective states of the electronic apparatus are recorded on the time axis in chronological order.

Therefore, the minimum time unit is chosen to be moderate. On one hand, the minimum time unit cannot be too small, if the minimum time unit is too small, the interval between two adjacent moments is too short, the time shaft records are too frequent, and the data on the time shaft occupies too large storage space; on the other hand, the minimum time unit may not be too large, and if the minimum time unit is too large, the interval between two adjacent time instants is too long, and the time axis recording interval is long, resulting in missing some important states. The minimum unit is, as can be referenced, moderate in 1 second.

In this step, the interface backspacing sub-control is moved to the first position of the time axis control, that is, the user backspacing to the state of the electronic device at the first position corresponding to the first time based on the time axis control.

Step 130: and displaying a first interface based on the user operation information associated with the first time corresponding to the first position.

The first interface is an interface associated with the first moment, the interface associated with the first moment is an interface which has received the user input, and the first moment is earlier than the input moment of the first input.

In this step, when the user backs to the first time on the time axis control through the first input, a first interface recorded on the time axis and associated with the first time is obtained.

In this embodiment, the time axis is used for recording user operation information and associating an interface, so that a user can go back to any historical time based on the time axis control, thereby facilitating viewing of the interface associated with the historical time. It can be seen that the input time of the first input is later than the first time. For example, the first time is a history time, and the input time of the first input is a current time; correspondingly, the first interface is a history interface.

Wherein the first interface associated with the first time instant is the interface that has received the user input.

In an application scenario, for example, a user drags the interface backspace child control to a first position, and based on the record of the time axis, the following conditions are detected: and at a first moment corresponding to the first position, displaying the first interface displayed by the interface based on user operation, so that the first interface responding to the user operation information can be obtained according to the user operation information recorded by the time axis for displaying.

Optionally, the first interface displayed at the first moment is detected based on the user operation, and an interface for receiving the user input may be further acquired, so that the first interface in response to the user operation information is obtained according to the interface and the user operation information.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the historical time that can be backed up is related to the user input, and may be the time when the user input is received. At the historical time, the user just completes the input, and the interface associated with the historical time is the interface which instantaneously responds to the input of the user.

Further, for some interfaces that are not based on a transient response to user input, no recording may be made on the timeline to reduce the storage controls occupied by the timeline. For example, the user switches to another interface after an input on one interface, and no further input is made within the next 5 minutes. On the time axis, only the process of switching from the certain interface to the other interface is recorded, and the process of keeping the other interface for 5 minutes is not required to be recorded.

In the display control method according to another embodiment of the present application, the historical time that can be backed up in this embodiment is related to the user input, and may be the time when the user input is received. In one case, at the historical time, the user just completes the input, and the interface associated with the historical time is an interface which instantaneously responds to the input of the user; in another case, where the historical time has received user input and the user input was received at a time prior to the historical time, the interface associated with the historical time is based on the interface from the time responsive to the user input.

For example, at 2 pm, the user opens a movie and television play and plays the movie header interface, and within the next hour (including the time of 3), the user does not operate the electronic device, so that on the time axis, the interface associated at the time of 2 pm is the movie header interface, and the interface associated at each time of 2 pm to 3 pm is also the movie header interface.

In the embodiment, in the using process, no matter whether the user input exists at the moment, the user input is recorded on the time axis, so that the time line on the time axis presents a continuous and complete state, the user can visually see the completion history state of the electronic equipment, and the backspacing operation of the user is facilitated.

Referring to fig. 3, in the display control method according to another embodiment of the present application, in the time axis setting interface, the user may further click a "back time" control to enter a back time setting interface. In the setting interface of the back-off time, the user may select a specific back-off time.

Referring to fig. 3, for example, the backoff time is 15 days. Therefore, a user can back to any time within 15 days through the time axis control, and data beyond 15 days can be automatically deleted.

Referring to fig. 3, optionally, at both ends of the timeline control, a start time 3 and an end time 4 are displayed, respectively.

Referring to fig. 3, further, at the position where the interface rollback sub-control is located, a time 5 corresponding to the position is displayed.

In this embodiment, the longer the rollback time is, the longer the rollback-possible history time is; meanwhile, the larger the storage space occupied by the time axis control is, so that the moderate rollback time can be selected according to personal requirements.

Referring to fig. 3, in the display control method according to another embodiment of the present application, in the time axis setting interface, the user may further click a "history step length" control to enter the setting interface of the history step length. In the setting interface of the history step length, the user can select a specific history step length.

In the process of recording user operation, the time axis records by taking the historical recording step length as the minimum time unit, namely records every other historical recording step length. In this way, the user views the interface associated with the recording time through the timeline control.

In this embodiment, the shorter the history recording step length is, the more the recording times are, the more the associated operation information and the associated interface are recorded, and the more the history time can be viewed. At the same time, the larger the storage space occupied by the timeline control. Thus, a moderate history stride can be selected depending on individual needs.

Referring to fig. 3, for example, the history step size is 5 seconds.

Referring to fig. 3, in the display control method according to another embodiment of the present application, in the time axis setting interface, the size (100M) of the storage space occupied by the data recorded by the time axis control is automatically calculated according to the historical recording step size (5 seconds) and the rollback time (15 days), so that the user can adjust the historical recording step size and/or the rollback time according to the actual use condition of the user, so that the storage space required by the operation of other functions is ensured while the requirement of the user for reviewing the historical data is satisfied.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, fig. 4 shows a flowchart of a display control method according to another embodiment of the present application, and after step 120, the method further includes:

step 140: the first thumbnail is displayed at a second location associated with the first location.

The first thumbnail is a thumbnail associated with the first interface.

Referring to fig. 3, when the interface rewind sub-control moves to the first position of the timeline control, the first thumbnail 2 may be displayed at the second position.

Optionally, the first thumbnail is a thumbnail of the first interface.

The second position is a position near the first position. Referring to fig. 3, for example, the second position where the first thumbnail is displayed is located above the first position. As another example, the second location is below the first location.

Optionally, an indicator line is drawn at the first position, one end of the indicator line being used to indicate the first position on the timeline control, and the other end of the indicator line being used to indicate a second position associated with the first position.

Optionally, when the interface backspacing child control moves to the first position of the timeline control, the first interface can be directly displayed; the first thumbnail can also be displayed at the second position, and the first interface is displayed after the user clicks the first thumbnail; the first interface and the first thumbnail may also be displayed simultaneously.

In this embodiment, the user can review the history interface at any time on the timeline control through the timeline control. In practice, the first thumbnail associated with the time of day may be displayed at the associated second location based on the first location being rolled back by the user. Therefore, the user can adjust the position of the interface backspacing child control according to the displayed thumbnail, and finally find the position which is required to backspace. Therefore, the user is prevented from blindly moving the interface backspacing sub-control, and the user operation is further simplified.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, fig. 5 shows a flowchart of a display control method according to another embodiment of the present application, and before step 110, the method further includes:

step 150: a second input to the second interface by the user is received.

The second input comprises touch input performed by a user on the screen, and is not limited to input of clicking, sliding, dragging and the like; the second input may also be a second operation, where the second operation includes a blank operation of the user, and is not limited to a gesture action operation, a face action operation, and the like, and the second operation also includes an operation of the user on a physical key on the device, and is not limited to a press operation and the like. Also, the second input includes one or more inputs, wherein the plurality of inputs may be continuous or intermittent.

In this step, the second interface is used for receiving a second input of the user; the second input is used for switching the display interface. The switching display interface comprises interface switching between the same application program and interface switching between different application programs.

In an application scenario, for example, in the case that the second interface is the main interface, the user clicks a shopping application icon.

In another example, in the case that the second interface is a home page of a shopping application, the user clicks a sub-function icon in the home page.

Step 160: and responding to the second input, updating the second interface into the first interface, and recording the first user operation information.

Corresponding to the application scenario in the previous step, for example, in the case that the second interface is the main interface, the first interface is a page of the shopping application.

As another example, where the second interface is a page up of a shopping application, the first interface is a sub-page of the shopping application.

In the present embodiment, in order to realize a scenario in which the user reviews the historical data, a method of recording the historical operations of the user by using a time axis is proposed. Therefore, in this step, when the user makes the second input, the user operation is detected, and the user operation information corresponding to the second input is recorded in the time axis while responding to the second input.

In reference, the user clicks the "setup" control, enters the setup interface, clicks the "history rollback" control, enters the history rollback setup interface, and selects to open in the "open or not open" control (as shown in fig. 2).

Further, in the case that the history rollback is on, the system listens for user operations on the device. And when the user operation is monitored, recording user operation information.

The first user operation information comprises input information of the second input and interface information of the second interface.

In one case, in the second input, the user performs input such as clicking, long-pressing and the like on an operation control in the second interface, where the operation control is an icon, an entry, a display bar and the like, and correspondingly, the input information of the second input includes the operation control triggered by the user in the second input and a triggering mode. Wherein, the triggering mode is click, long press, etc.

In another case, in the second input, the user performs input such as left-sliding and right-sliding on the target area in the second interface, and correspondingly, the input information of the second input includes the target area triggered by the user in the second input and the triggering manner. Wherein, the triggering mode is left slide, right slide, etc.

In another case, the user's operation on the second interface does not contact the screen at the second input, and correspondingly, the input information of the second input includes the switching path.

In the embodiment, when the user switches between the interfaces through the second input on the electronic device, the input information of the second input and the interface information of the second interface for receiving the second input are recorded in the background while responding to the switching of the interfaces. Therefore, when the user moves the interface backspacing sub-control to the position associated with the second input on the time axis control, the interface backspacing sub-control can be switched to the first interface according to the input information of the second input recorded at the position and the interface information of the second interface before responding to the second input according to the original operation mode, so that the user operation can be restored to help the user to review the historical data, and the backspacing method with simple operation is further provided.

Optionally, the present embodiment is adapted for the user to review the browsed interface.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, fig. 6 shows a flowchart of a display control method according to another embodiment of the present application, and before step 110, the method further includes:

step 170: a third input to the first interface by the user is received.

The third input includes a touch input by the user on the screen, and is not limited to input such as clicking, sliding, dragging and the like; the third input may also be a third operation, where the third operation includes a blank operation of the user, and is not limited to a gesture action operation, a face action operation, and the like, and the third operation also includes an operation of the user on an entity key on the device, and is not limited to a press operation and the like. Also, the third input includes one or more inputs, wherein the plurality of inputs may be continuous or intermittent.

In this step, the first interface is used for receiving a third input of the user; the third input is used to update the information content therein in the first interface.

For example, in the case where the first interface is an editing interface of a shipping address, the user fills the text in the address bar, or the user modifies the text in the address bar.

In another example, in the case that the first interface is a document interface, the user inputs text, or the user modifies text.

Step 180: and responding to the third input, updating the first information in the first interface into second information, and recording the second user operation information.

Corresponding to the application scenario in the previous step, for example, in the case that the first interface is an editing interface of a receiving address, the first information is blank or the first information is a text before the third input is not received, and the second information is a text added or modified by the user through the third input.

For another example, when the first interface is a document interface, the first information is blank or the first information is a character before the third input is not received, and the second information is a character added or modified by the user through the third input.

In the present embodiment, in order to realize a scenario in which the user reviews the historical data, a method of recording the historical operations of the user by using a time axis is proposed. Therefore, in this step, when the user makes the third input, the user operation is detected, and the user operation information corresponding to the third input is recorded in the time axis while responding to the third input.

The second user operation information comprises input information of a third input, interface information of the first interface, and information contents of the first information and the second information.

For example, in the third input, the user inputs characters in the target area in the first interface, and correspondingly, the input information of the third input includes the target area triggered by the user in the third input.

In this embodiment, when the user updates the information content in the interface through the third input on the electronic device, the input information receiving the third input, the interface information of the first interface, and the information content of the first information and the second information are recorded in the background while responding to the update information in the same interface, so that the user operation content is embodied through the information content of the input information, the first information, and the second information of the third input. In this way, when the user moves the interface backspacing sub-control to the position associated with the third input on the time axis control, the operation of the user for inputting the second information on the first interface can be restored according to the input information of the third input recorded at the position and the interface information of the first interface for receiving the third input, so that the user is helped to review the historical data, and the backspacing method with simple operation is further provided.

Optionally, the present embodiment is suitable for the user to review the inputted text, voice, etc.

In a display control method of another embodiment of the present application, interface information includes an interface screenshot image; or interface layout information and interface content information.

In this embodiment, when the system monitors a user operation, in one scenario, interface information for receiving the user operation may be acquired in a screenshot manner, so that the acquired interface information includes interface layout information, interface content information, and the like; in another scenario, the interface information may be obtained by directly obtaining the interface layout information and the interface content information from the interface.

The interface information of the embodiment includes interface information of a first interface and a second interface.

In the embodiment, two modes of screenshot and information acquisition are provided to acquire the interface information to ensure the integrity of the acquired interface information, so that the user operation can be restored, and the real historical data of the user can be returned.

In a display control method according to another embodiment of the present application, a timeline control includes at least one indication identifier, where the indication identifier is used to indicate an interface updated in response to an operation of a user, and the timeline control includes a first type indication identifier and a second type indication identifier.

The indication marks in the application are used for indicating words, symbols, images, interfaces, time and the like of information, and a control or other container can be used as a carrier for displaying the information, including but not limited to word marks, symbol marks and image marks.

The interface associated with the second moment and the interface associated with the third moment indicated by the first type indication identifier are the same application, and the third moment is a moment which is earlier than the second moment and has the shortest time interval with the second moment.

Optionally, the time interval is a minimum time unit on the timeline control. That is, the second time and the third time are two adjacent times on the time axis control.

Referring to fig. 7, on the time axis control, if switching between interfaces occurs between two adjacent moments based on user operation, and the two interfaces before and after switching belong to the same application program, the interfaces may be embodied on the time axis control through the first type indication identifier 6.

Optionally, the first type indicator is displayed at a position intermediate between the two moments, and the first type indicator may also be displayed at the positions of the two moments respectively.

The interface associated with the fourth time and the interface associated with the fifth time, which are indicated by the second type of indication identifier, are different applications, and the fifth time is a time which is earlier than the fourth time and has the shortest time interval with the fourth time.

Optionally, the time interval is a minimum time unit on the timeline control. That is, the fourth time and the fifth time are two adjacent times on the time axis control.

Referring to fig. 7, on the time axis control, if switching between interfaces occurs between two adjacent moments based on user operation, and the two interfaces before and after switching belong to different application programs, the two interfaces may be embodied on the time axis control through the second type indication identifier 7.

Optionally, the second type of indication mark is displayed at a position intermediate between the two moments, and the second type of indication mark may also be displayed at positions of the two moments respectively.

In reference, in the case of monitoring the user operation, if the switching between the interfaces occurs based on the user operation, the corresponding type of indication identifier is generated according to the type of the switching, the switching between the same applications, or the switching between different applications, and the corresponding timestamp is generated. Thus, the indication mark is displayed on the time axis control according to the time stamp.

Optionally, on the timeline control, at the position where the first type indication identifier and the second type indication identifier are displayed, the corresponding time may also be displayed, which helps the user to quickly lock.

In this embodiment, the position where the interface switching occurs is marked on the time axis control through the indication identifier, so as to help the user to quickly lock the previous interface or the previous application, and simplify the operation steps of the user for backing.

On the basis of the previous embodiment, fig. 8 shows a flowchart of a display control method according to another embodiment of the present application, and optionally, before step 110, the method further includes:

step 190: and receiving a fourth input of the target object by the user.

The fourth input includes a touch input performed by the user on the screen, and is not limited to a click, a slide, a drag, and the like; the fourth input may also be a fourth operation, where the fourth operation includes a blank operation of the user, and is not limited to a gesture action operation, a face action operation, and the like, and the fourth operation also includes an operation of the user on an entity key on the device, and is not limited to a press operation and the like. Further, the fourth input includes one or more inputs, wherein the plurality of inputs may be continuous or intermittent.

Wherein the target object comprises at least one of: application, file, text, voice, time period.

Step 1100: and in response to a fourth input, updating a target indication identifier in the at least one indication identifier into the first display mode, wherein the interface indicated by the target indication identifier is the interface of the target object.

The indication marks except the target indication mark in the at least one indication mark are in a second display mode, and the first display mode is different from the first display mode.

In the application scenario of this embodiment, in the setting interface of the time axis shown in fig. 3, a user clicks an "application" control, and the setting interface of the application is displayed, and in the setting interface of the application, the user clicks at least one application control. Thus, in the timeline control shown in FIG. 3, the recorded interface for the user-selected application can be indicated by the target indicator, and the target indicator is updated to the first display mode. Specifically, the portion of the timeline control that is recorded for the interface of the user-selected application is displayed in black, while the other portions of the timeline control, except for the rest, are displayed in gray.

In an application scenario of this embodiment, for example, in the setting interface of the history fallback shown in fig. 2, the user clicks the "related file" control, the setting interface of the related file is displayed, and in the setting interface of the related file, the user clicks the "file" control. Thus, on the timeline control, the recorded operation interface of the file by the user can be indicated by the target indication mark, and the target indication mark is updated to be in the first display mode. Specifically, in the timeline control, the recorded part of the operation interface of the user on the file is displayed in black, and the other part of the timeline control is displayed in gray.

Optionally, the file includes a picture, a document, and the like, and the operation on the file includes an operation of opening, closing, modifying, deleting, uploading, downloading, accessing, and the like on the file.

In an application scenario of this embodiment, for example, in the setting interface of the history rollback shown in fig. 2, the user clicks the "related file" control, the setting interface of the related file is displayed, and in the setting interface of the related file, the user clicks the "text" control. Thus, in the timeline control, the recorded operation interface of the user on the characters can be indicated by the target indication mark, and the target indication mark is updated to be in the first display mode. Specifically, in the timeline control, the recorded part of the operation interface of the user for the text is displayed in black, and the other part of the timeline control is displayed in gray.

Alternatively, the operation on the text includes deletion, copy, paste, and the like.

In an application scenario of this embodiment, for example, in the setting interface of the history fallback shown in fig. 2, the user clicks the "related file" control, the setting interface of the related file is displayed, and in the setting interface of the related file, the user clicks the "voice" control. Thus, in the timeline control, the recorded operation interface of the voice of the user can be indicated by the target indication mark, and the target indication mark is updated to be in the first display mode. Specifically, in the timeline control, a part of the recorded operation interface of the user for the voice is displayed in black, and the other part of the timeline control is displayed in gray.

Optionally, the operation on the text comprises recording, deleting, translating and the like.

The target object may be a class, or may be specific content in a certain class, such as specific text content, specific file, and the like.

In another example of the application scenario of this embodiment, the user may further select a certain time period as the target object, so that on the timeline control, a portion corresponding to the time period is displayed in black, and other portions in the timeline control are displayed in gray.

Optionally, the target object may also be a combination between multiple types, a combination between multiple specific contents, or a combination between a type and a specific content, so as to help a group of users to screen out a time axis range that needs to be backed.

In this embodiment, the user can input the target objects such as the predetermined time period, the application, the file, the text, the voice and the like through the fourth input, so that the time axis can display all the history interfaces related to the specified time period, the application, the file, the text, the voice and the like in different display modes with other parts, and thus, the user can quickly position the interface which needs to be backed on the time axis control, the user is prevented from reviewing history data in a large amount of browsing histories, and the backing operation steps of the user are simple.

In the display control method according to another embodiment of the present application, when the timeline control records data, the corresponding interface information may also be obtained by obtaining hyperlink information of a file.

Further, when the user moves the interface backspacing child control to a certain position on the time axis control, if the interface associated with the position is associated with the file, the hyperlink information of the file is acquired, and the user operation information recorded on the time axis control is backspacing to the file interface corresponding to the position.

In addition, if the user mistakenly deletes the file, the time axis control can also record the file to the final interface of the deleted file, so that the user can obtain the deleted file by backing on the time axis control.

In more embodiments, the data recorded on the time axis can be compressed and simplified, so as to achieve the purpose of saving storage space and avoid consuming excessive resources.

In summary, the embodiment of the application records the operation track of the user through the time axis, so that when the user performs the rollback operation, the user can roll back to the interface corresponding to the position according to the recorded user operation information and the associated interface information by moving the interface rollback sub-control on the time axis control to any position. Therefore, firstly, for some applications with a lot of jumps or applications with frequent page switching by users, the user can quickly return to any historical page through the time axis control, and the user operation is simplified. Second, this embodiment does not need to go back in proper order between pages, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the flash back leads to data loss to take place. Thirdly, the time axis of the embodiment of the application also records the misoperation of the user, including mistakenly deleting characters and pictures, so that the caching and recovery of files and the like can be supported through the data recorded on the time axis.
