The object switching method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to scenes that a user triggers objects such as electronic equipment switching interfaces and pictures.

Illustratively, taking the example of the user triggering the electronic device to switch the interface, assuming that the desktop of the electronic device includes an interface a, an interface B, an interface C and an interface D, and the electronic device currently displays the interface a (e.g. a first object in the embodiment of the present application), since the layout between the interface a, the interface B, the interface C and the interface D (e.g. a target layout in the embodiment of the present application) can be set for the user triggering the electronic device, when the user needs to view the interface D (e.g. a second object in the embodiment of the present application), the user can trigger the electronic device to directly display the interface D according to the layout between the interfaces in the desktop (e.g. a target layout indicated by the target information in the embodiment of the present application) and the direction of the input (e.g. the input parameter of the first input in the embodiment of the present application), to facilitate the user in viewing the content in interface D. Therefore, the electronic equipment can display the object which needs to be checked by the user through one input of the user, and the process of switching the object by the electronic equipment can be simplified.

With reference to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides an object switching method, which may include steps 100 to 102 described below. The following is an exemplary description taking the electronic device as an example to perform the method.

Step 100, the electronic device displays a first object.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first object may be an object among M objects.

In the embodiment of the present application, the object types of the M objects are the same. Wherein the object type of the object comprises: picture type, interface type.

For example, the object type of the M objects is an interface type, that is, each object in the M objects is an interface; or, the object type of the M objects is an image type, that is, each object of the M objects is a picture.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the object type of the M objects is an interface type, the M objects may be interfaces in the same application (for example, a desktop application), or may be interfaces in different applications (for example, interfaces in different applications running in a background or used recently), which may be determined specifically according to actual usage requirements, and this embodiment of the application is not limited.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the object type of the M objects is a picture type, the M objects may be M pictures in the gallery application.

Step 101, the electronic device receives a first input of a user.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input may be an input of a user on the first object, or may also be an input of a user on a thumbnail object used for indicating the second object, which may be determined specifically according to actual usage requirements, and this embodiment of the application is not limited.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, in a possible implementation manner, the first input may be an input of a user on a first object; alternatively, in another possible implementation, the first input may include a user input on a thumbnail object indicating one object (e.g., a second object described below) of the M objects.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input may be input in any possible form, such as a floating input, a touch input, or a voice input, which may be determined specifically according to actual use requirements, and this embodiment of the application is not limited.

For example, taking the first input as the touch input as an example, the first input may be any possible touch input such as a slide input, a re-press input, a specific gesture input, and the like.

And 102, responding to the first input by the electronic equipment, and displaying a second object in the M objects according to the target information and the input parameters of the first input.

The target information may be used to indicate a target layout among M objects, where the target layout may be set by user triggering, and M is an integer greater than 1.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, (1) the second object may be an object adjacent to the first object among the M objects (i.e., an object adjacent to the first object and located above, below, left, or right of the first object), or (2) the second object may be an object not adjacent to the first object among the M objects (i.e., an object having no object above, below, left, right, or diagonal to the first object), or (3) the second object may be an object located on a diagonal to the first object among the M objects (i.e., an object located on a diagonal to the first object and closest to the first object).

In the embodiment of the present application, if it is assumed that M objects are displayed according to a target layout, if a display area of one object of the M objects is adjacent to a display area of a first object, it indicates that the one object is an object adjacent to the first object; if the display area of one object in the M objects is not adjacent to the display area of the first object, the object is an object which is not adjacent to the first object; if the display area of one object of the M objects is located on the diagonal line of the display area of the first object and is closest to the display area of the first object, it indicates that the one object is located on the diagonal line of the first object.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, in (1) and (3) above, the second object may be a common object, and in (2) above, the second object may specifically be an independent object or a hidden object. The privacy level of the common object is lower, and the privacy levels of the independent object and the hidden object are higher; a higher privacy level for an object indicates a higher privacy requirement for the object.

It can be understood that if an object is an independent object or a hidden object, it indicates that the object includes the privacy information of the user.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the privacy level of the object may be set by a user in a customized manner, or may be set by a system.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the input parameter of the first input may include any one of: an input object of the first input, an input trajectory of the first input, an input direction of the first input, and a trajectory shape of the first input.

In the embodiment of the application, the input parameters of the first input are different, and the second object displayed by the electronic equipment is also different.

A setting method for setting a target layout among M objects will be described in detail in the following embodiments, and details are not repeated here to avoid redundancy.

One possible implementation and another possible implementation of the above are described in detail below, respectively.

One possible implementation: the first input may be a user input on the first object

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, in (1) above, that is, the second object is an object adjacent to the first object in the M objects, the step 102 may be specifically implemented by the following step 102 a; in the above (2), that is, the second object is an object not adjacent to the first object among the M objects, the above step 102 can be specifically realized by the following step 102 b; in the above (3), that is, the second object is an object located on a diagonal line of the first object among the M objects, the above step 102 can be specifically realized by the following step 102 c.

And 102a, under the condition that the input parameter of the first input accords with the first preset parameter, the electronic equipment displays a third object adjacent to the first object in the M objects.

In the embodiment of the present application, the second object is the same as the one third object.

In the embodiment of the present application, the condition that the input parameter of the first input meets the first preset parameter may be understood as: the input parameter of the first input is the same as the first preset parameter, or the matching degree of the input parameter of the first input and the first preset parameter is greater than or equal to a first matching degree threshold (which may be determined specifically according to actual use requirements).

In this embodiment, the first preset parameter may specifically be a preset direction.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the preset direction may be: the direction upward with respect to the first object, the direction downward with respect to the first object, the direction leftward with respect to the first object, and the direction rightward with respect to the first object may be specifically determined according to the target layout.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the screen of the electronic device faces the user, the up, down, left, and right are illustrated as an example that the screen of the electronic device displays the first object.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the preset direction may be preset by the system, or may be set by the user according to an actual use requirement.

In the embodiment of the present application, assuming that the input direction of the first input is the first direction, then: the third object is an object adjacent to the first object among the M objects and located in the first direction of the first object.

Optionally, in an actual implementation in this embodiment of the application, the M objects may include one or more third objects adjacent to the first object, and specifically may be determined according to target layouts of the M objects.

The following describes an object switching method provided in an embodiment of the present application by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Exemplarily, assuming that 9 pictures (i.e., the above M objects) are included in the gallery application of the electronic device, the layout (i.e., the target layout) between the 9 pictures set by the user is as shown in (a) of fig. 2. Then the electronic device currently displays picture 5 as shown in (b) of fig. 2, at this time, if the user slides on the screen in the direction shown by arrow 1 (i.e. the first input), then the electronic device may switch from picture 5 to picture 2 as shown in (c) of fig. 2; if the user slides on the screen in the direction indicated by arrow 2 (i.e. the first input), the electronic device may switch from picture 5 to picture 6 as shown in (d) of fig. 2. That is, the electronic device displays a third object adjacent to the first object among the M objects.

It can be seen that as shown in fig. 2 (a), 4 pictures (i.e., picture 2, picture 4, picture 6, picture 8) adjacent to picture 5 are included in the 9 pictures in the gallery application. Therefore, compared with the conventional technology, the object switching method provided by the embodiment of the application can realize one-key switching among a plurality of pictures.

And 102b, under the condition that the input parameter of the first input accords with a second preset parameter, the electronic equipment displays a fourth object without an adjacent object in the M objects.

In the embodiment of the present application, the second object is the same as the one fourth object.

It is to be understood that the fourth object may be an independent object or a hidden object in the M objects, that is, the second preset parameter is used to trigger the electronic device to display an independent object or a hidden object in the M objects.

In the embodiment of the present application, the condition that the input parameter of the first input meets the second preset parameter may be understood as: the first input parameter is the same as the second preset parameter, or the matching degree of the first input parameter and the second preset parameter is greater than or equal to a second matching degree threshold (which may be determined specifically according to actual use requirements).

The first matching degree and the second matching degree may be the same or different, and may be determined according to actual use requirements.

In the embodiment of the present application, the second preset parameter may specifically be: a predetermined trajectory or a predetermined shape. The preset track comprises a track shape and a track direction.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the preset shape and the trajectory shape may be any possible shapes. For example, the trajectory shapes are triangle ". DELTA.", circle ". smallcircle". nu. ", number shapes (e.g.: 1, 2, 3), and the like.

For the description of the track direction, reference may be specifically made to the related description of the preset direction in step 102a, and details are not repeated here to avoid repetition.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second preset parameter may be preset by the system, or may be set by the user according to an actual use requirement.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first preset parameter is different from the second preset parameter.

In this embodiment of the application, for each fourth object in which no adjacent object exists among the M objects, the electronic device may create a corresponding relationship between one object and one preset parameter. In this way, when the input parameter of the input performed by the user conforms to a preset parameter (e.g., the second preset parameter), the electronic device may directly display a fourth object corresponding to the preset parameter.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment of the application, assuming that the electronic device displays M objects according to the target policy, if there are no object adjacent to one object and no object located on a diagonal line of the object in the M objects, that is, the object is a hidden object or an independent object, it indicates that no object is displayed in the display area adjacent to the display area 0 of the object, and no object is displayed in the display area 1, where the display area 1 is located on the diagonal line of the display area 0.

Further, assuming that the number of display regions located on the diagonal line of the display region 0 is T, the display region 1 is one of the T display regions that is closest to the display region 0.

The following describes an object switching method provided in the embodiments of the present application by way of example with reference to specific examples.

Exemplarily, assuming that the desktop of the electronic device includes 10 interfaces (i.e., the above M objects), the layout (i.e., the target layout) between the 10 interfaces set by the user is as shown in (b) of fig. 3, and it can be seen that there is no adjacent object in interface 0 and there is no object in interface 0 that is located on the diagonal line of interface 0; assume that the interface 0 corresponds to a number "0" (i.e., a second predetermined parameter). Then if the electronic device currently displays the interface 5, the user may draw a number "0" (i.e. a first input) on the screen to trigger the electronic device to switch from the interface 5 to the interface 0, i.e. in case the input parameter of the first input corresponds to a second preset parameter, the electronic device displays a fourth object of the M objects, for which no neighboring object exists.

And 102c, under the condition that the input parameter of the first input accords with a third preset parameter, the electronic equipment displays a fifth object positioned on the diagonal line of the first object in the M objects.

In the embodiment of the present application, the second object is the same as the fifth object.

In the embodiment of the present application, the condition that the input parameter of the first input meets the third preset parameter may be understood as: the first input parameter is the same as the third preset parameter, or the matching degree of the first input parameter and the third preset parameter is greater than or equal to a third matching degree threshold (which may be determined specifically according to actual use requirements).

In this embodiment of the application, the third preset parameter may be any preset parameter that can trigger the electronic device to display a fifth object located on a diagonal of the first object among the M objects, and may specifically be determined according to an actual use requirement of a user, which is not limited in this application.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the third preset parameter may be preset by the system, or may be set by the user according to an actual use requirement.

For example, taking the third preset parameter as the preset direction as an example, the preset direction may be: with respect to a direction above-left of the first object, with respect to a direction below-left of the first object, with respect to a direction above-right of the first object, with respect to a direction below-right of the first object, if the direction of the first input coincides with the direction above-left of the first object, the electronic device may display one of the M objects that is located on a diagonal of the first object and above-left of the first object.

In the embodiment of the present application, the upper left, the lower left, the upper right, and the lower right are illustrated by taking as an example that the screen of the electronic device displays the first object when the screen of the electronic device faces the user.

In the embodiment of the present application, the fifth object is one of the M objects that is located on a diagonal of the first object and is closest to the first object.

For example, as shown in fig. 3 (a), it is assumed that the first object is the interface 9, and the objects located on the diagonal line of the interface 9 include the interface 2 and the interface 5, and the interface 5 is the interface closest to the interface 9, so the fifth object is the interface 5. In the embodiment of the application, because the user can trigger the electronic device to display an object adjacent to the first object, an object not adjacent to the first object, or an object located on a diagonal line of the first object, among the M objects, through different first inputs, the flexibility of switching the objects by the electronic device can be improved.

Another possible implementation: the first input may include a user input on a thumbnail object indicating one object (e.g., a second object described below) of the M objects

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the object switching method provided in this embodiment of the present application may be specifically implemented by the following mode 1 and mode 2.

Mode 1

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input may include a first sub-input and a second sub-input, the step 101 may be specifically implemented by the step 101a and the step 101B described below, and the step 102 may be specifically implemented by the step a and the step B described below.

Step 101a, the electronic device receives a first sub-input of a user on a first object.

And step A, the electronic equipment responds to the first sub-input and displays N first thumbnail objects according to the target layout.

Step 101b, the electronic device receives a second sub-input of the user to a first target thumbnail object in the N first thumbnail objects.

And B, the electronic equipment responds to the second sub-input and displays the second object, and the first target thumbnail object is used for indicating the second object.

Wherein, each of the N first thumbnail objects may be used to indicate one of the M objects, and N may be a positive integer less than or equal to M.

In the embodiment of the application, when the electronic device displays N first thumbnail objects according to the target layout: the layout between the N first thumbnail objects is the same as the layout between the N indicated by the N first thumbnail objects.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first sub-input may be any form of input such as a hovering input, a touch input, or a voice input of the user on the first object, which may trigger the electronic device to display the N first thumbnail objects according to the target layout, and may be specifically determined according to an actual use requirement, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second sub-input may be any form of input such as a hover input and a touch input of the user on the first target thumbnail object, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and this embodiment of the application is not limited.

It should be noted that, the purpose of displaying the N first thumbnail objects by the electronic device according to the target layout is: in order to enable the user to view the layout between N of the M objects, in actual use, the electronic device may not display the N first thumbnail objects in the target layout.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, all of the N objects indicated by the N first thumbnail objects may be common objects and all of the independent objects in the M objects.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, an owner of the electronic device may set, according to an actual usage requirement of the owner, the first sub-input for triggering the N first thumbnail objects, so as to protect privacy of the owner, for example, to prevent a non-owner from viewing and/or using content in an independent object.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second object may be a common object of the M objects or may be an independent object of the M objects.

In the embodiment of the application, the user can trigger the electronic device to display the N first thumbnail objects in one-to-one correspondence with the N objects in the M objects through the first sub-input on the first object, so that the user can trigger the electronic device to display an object indicated by any one of the N first thumbnail objects through the second sub-input, and thus the flexibility of switching the objects by the electronic device can be further improved.

Mode 2

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input includes a third sub-input, a fourth sub-input, and a fifth sub-input; the step 101 may be realized by the steps 101C to 101E described below, and the step 102 may be realized by the steps C, D, and E described below.

Step 101c, the electronic device receives a third sub-input of the user on the first object.

And C, the electronic equipment responds to the third sub-input and displays N second abbreviated objects according to the target layout, each second abbreviated object is used for indicating an object which is not hidden in the M objects, and N is a positive integer smaller than M.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the N second thumbnail objects may be the same as or different from the N first thumbnail objects.

For other descriptions of step 101c and step 102c, reference may be specifically made to the relevant descriptions of step 101a and step 102a, and details are not repeated here to avoid repetition.

And step 101d, the electronic equipment receives a fourth sub-input of the user.

And D, responding to the fourth sub-input by the electronic equipment, keeping displaying the N second abbreviated objects, and displaying Q third abbreviated objects according to the target layout, wherein each third abbreviated object is used for indicating one hidden object in the M objects, and Q can be an integer greater than or equal to 0.

It is understood that in the embodiment of the present application, Q + N may be less than or equal to M, that is, the second sub-input is used to trigger displaying of at least part of the objects hidden in the M objects. It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the hidden object may be an object with high privacy.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the fourth sub-input may be a special gesture or a special voice input set by a user, which may trigger the electronic device to keep displaying the N second thumbnail objects, and display the input of the Q third thumbnail objects according to the target layout, which may be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, and this embodiment of the application is not limited.

In step 101e, the electronic device receives a fifth sub-input of the user to the second target thumbnail object in the Q third thumbnail objects.

And E, the electronic equipment responds to the fifth sub-input and displays the second object, and the second target thumbnail object is used for indicating the second object.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the fifth sub-input may be a touch input of the user on the second target thumbnail object, an input of a preset gesture, and the like, and may be specifically determined according to an actual use requirement.

It is understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the fourth sub-input is different from the fifth sub-input.

In the embodiment of the present application, the object indicated by the second target thumbnail object is different from the object indicated by the first target thumbnail object.

Exemplarily, assuming that a desktop of the electronic device includes 9 un-hidden interfaces and 1 hidden interface 0 (i.e., M ═ 10), the electronic device currently displays interface 1 (i.e., a first object), and if the user presses long on interface 1 (i.e., a third sub-input), the electronic device may display a window on interface 1 in an overlapping manner as shown in (a) in fig. 3, and display 9 thumbnails of the 9 un-hidden interfaces (i.e., N second thumbnail objects) in the window according to a layout between 10 interfaces, at which time the user may draw a circle in a counterclockwise direction on the window (i.e., a fourth sub-input), as shown in (b) in fig. 3, and the electronic device may display thumbnails 30 of interface 0 (i.e., Q third thumbnail objects) in the layout between 10 interfaces while maintaining display of the 9 thumbnails. As such, the user may click on the thumbnail 30 (i.e., the fifth sub-input) to trigger the electronic device to display the interface 0 (i.e., the second object) indicated by the thumbnail 30.

In the embodiment of the application, a user can trigger the electronic device to display N second thumbnail objects in one-to-one correspondence with N objects which are not hidden in M objects through the third sub-input on the first object, and trigger the electronic device to display Q third thumbnail objects in one-to-one correspondence with Q hidden objects hidden in M objects according to the layout between the M objects while maintaining the display of the N second thumbnail objects through the fourth sub-input, so that the user can trigger the electronic device to display any hidden object in the M objects through the fifth sub-input, and therefore, the flexibility of switching objects by the electronic device can be further improved.

Further, since a special input (e.g. the fourth sub-input) is required to trigger the electronic device to display the thumbnail objects of the one or more hidden objects in the M, the security of the electronic device for switching the objects can be improved on the basis of simplifying the process of switching the objects by the electronic device.

In the object switching method provided by the embodiment of the application, since the layout among the multiple objects (for example, M objects) is set for the user to trigger the electronic device, when the electronic device displays one object (for example, a first object) among the multiple objects and needs to view another object (for example, a second object) among the multiple objects, the user can directly display the another object according to the layout among the multiple objects set by the user and the input parameters of the input through one input by the electronic device without needing to perform a series of operations by the user as in the conventional technology to trigger the electronic device to switch to the object which the user needs to view, so that the process of switching objects by the electronic device can be simplified.

In order to facilitate understanding of the object switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application, a method for setting a target layout among M objects is described in detail below.

Optionally, in this embodiment, before the step 101, the object switching method provided in this embodiment may further include the following steps 103 to 106.

And 103, receiving a second input of the user by the electronic equipment.

And 104, the electronic equipment responds to the second input and displays a layout setting interface.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second input may be any form of input that can trigger the electronic device to display the layout setting interface, such as a floating input, a touch input, or a voice input, and may be specifically determined according to an actual use requirement, and this embodiment of the application is not limited.
