In this embodiment, the sliding area 413 includes a sliding bar for prompting the user to perform a sliding operation in the area; the function table area 411 includes a cover option, a directory option, and a return option. By clicking on the cover option, the preview area 412 displays a number of icons for reading the cover of the booklet for selection by the user to select a target reading file. After entering the page of the selected target reading file, the user clicks on the directory option, and the preview area 412 displays the directory page of the selected target reading file. The user can select the directory option to quickly find the reading content of the reading file; the return option is provided for the user to Go to the page of the selected target reading file and read it back to the previous reading page. In another embodiment, the return option is for the user to return to the previous operating interface from the current operating interface. After entering the page of the selected target reading file, the preview area 412 also displays the content of the current reading page, the chapter number to which the page belongs, and the page number corresponding to the page. For example, the page content corresponding to the page numbers 122 and 123 and the page numbers 122 and 123 and the chapter number where the page is located are the fourth chapter.

The display unit 10 is configured to display a reading file page and a quick page turning interface 41. In the embodiment, the input unit 20 includes a read button 21, an interface control button 22, and a touch unit 23. The read button 21 is for receiving an operation of the user entering the reading mode. The interface control keys 22 are provided on the two sides of the display unit 10 for generating an interface display signal in response to the user's operation. The processing unit 30 controls the display unit 10 to display the quick page turning interface 41 when receiving the interface display signal. When the user clicks the left interface control button 22, the quick page turning interface 41 is displayed on the left side of the display unit 10, the user clicks the right interface control button 22, and the quick page turning interface 41 is displayed on the right side of the display unit 10, thereby facilitating The left and right hands of the user can independently operate the electronic reading device 100 to turn pages.

The processing unit 30 also includes an analysis module 32. The detecting module 31 further detects a sliding operation signal generated by the user sliding in the sliding area 413, and sends the sliding operation signal to the analysis module 32. The analysis module 32 determines the time according to the sliding operation signal. If the sliding touch time exceeds a predetermined value T, the sliding operation signal is transmitted to the query module 33, otherwise the analysis module 32 does not perform any processing; the query module 33 determines according to the sliding operation signal. The sliding direction and the sliding distance are determined, and according to a correspondence table, the page turning direction and the page turning number of the page corresponding to the sliding direction and the distance are determined, thereby searching for information of the corresponding target page, and the target page is the current reading file. The page that should be displayed after the page flips the corresponding number of pages in the corresponding direction. The display control module 34 controls the display unit 10 to display the target page information on the preview area 412. The information of the target page includes the target page, the page number of the target page, and a chapter to which the target page belongs. According to the continuous sliding of the user on the sliding area 413, the target page displayed in the preview area 412, the page number of the target page, and the chapter to which the target page belongs are continuously updated. When the sliding operation of the user on the sliding area 413 is stopped, the user selects The final target page is displayed on the display area outside the quick page turning interface 41 of the display unit 10 for the user to read. In the present embodiment, the correspondence table is stored in the storage unit 40, and the correspondence table defines a correspondence relationship between the plurality of sliding directions and distances and the page turning direction and the page turning number of the page. For example, if the relative distance of the left/right sliding in the correspondence table is 0.5 cm, the query module 33 searches for the address pointed to by the 10 storage units before/after the current reading page address, that is, before reading the page before reading/ The next 10 pages of the page.

In this embodiment, if the detection module 31 does not detect the sliding operation signal when the predetermined time T1 is exceeded, a shutdown signal is generated, and the display control module 34 controls the display unit 10 to stop displaying the fast according to the shutdown signal. Turn page interface 41.

Please refer to FIG. 3 , which is a flowchart of a page turning method of an electronic reading device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
