  • The present invention relates to the terminal field, and in particular, to a method for performing an operation on a terminal touchscreen and a terminal.
    • BACKGROUND
  • At present, a touchscreen is widely used in terminal products such as mobile phones and tablet computers. When a user needs to perform an operation on multiple displayed entries on a display interface of a terminal device, two methods are normally available. One method is selecting multiple displayed entries on a touchscreen one by one until all required entries are selected. The other method is, when the device provides a select-all operation, directly selecting all entries. For example, when an SMS message needs to be sent to a group of contacts in a mobile phone, the contacts need to be selected one by one until the group of contacts required by the user is selected, or all contacts are directly selected.
  • During the implementation of the foregoing technical solutions, the inventor finds that the prior art has at least the following problem: Much time is consumed for the user to select the displayed entries one by one, which hinders improving an operation speed and operation experience of the user; moreover, when the user does not need to select all contacts, the operation manner of directly selecting all contacts is not useful.

  • To achieve the foregoing objective, the embodiments of the present invention use the following technical solutions:
  • A method for performing an operation on a touchscreen, including:
  • receiving a touch operation when content currently displayed on the touchscreen is a displayed entry, where the displayed entry corresponds to a data entry stored in a terminal; and performing, when a track of the touch operation is a sliding track on a preset area, a preset operation on each entry that the track of the touch operation passes through, where the preset area is a part of a current operation interface.
  • A terminal, including:
  • a user operation receiving unit, configured to receive a touch operation when content currently displayed on a touchscreen is a displayed entry, where the displayed entry corresponds to a data entry stored in the terminal; and an action unit, configured to perform, when a track of the touch operation is a sliding track on a preset area, a preset operation on each entry that the track of the touch operation passes through, where the preset area is a part of a current operation interface.

It should be noted that performing an operation by a user by using a motion sensing gesture also falls within a scope defined by this embodiment of the present invention, which is not described in detail here for the convenience of description, and is described in detail later.
  • 102. When a track of the touch operation is a sliding track on a preset area, perform a preset operation on each entry that the track of the touch operation passes through. The preset area is a part of a current operation interface.
  • If the touch operation is performed on the preset area, the terminal performs the preset operation on each entry of the displayed entries that the track of the touch operation passes through. Alternatively, the preset operation is a select operation or a deselect operation performed on the entry.
  • For example, as shown in FIG. 2, entries currently displayed on a touchscreen are a contact list. In this case, a user performs a touch operation. When a track of the touch operation of the user is a sliding track on a preset area, if the touch operation 302 is performed within the preset area 301 shown in FIG. 3, a preset operation is performed on each contact entry that the track of the touch operation of the user passes through. For example, in FIG. 3, the preset operation specifically is a select operation on the contact entries. Accordingly, an effect after the selection is performed is shown in FIG. 4. If the touch operation is performed outside the preset area, displayed content is displayed after flipping, which is the same as a touchscreen display solution in the prior art and is not described herein. A scope of the preset area may be preset on the terminal and is a part of the current operation interface. The preset area may have different positions and sizes for different display interfaces and displayed entries. As shown in FIG. 3, a scope of the preset area 301 may be either a scope in which contact check boxes shown in the figure are located or another preset scope.
  • According to the method for performing an operation on a touchscreen provided by this embodiment of the present invention, it is detected whether a user performs a sliding operation on a preset area of a touchscreen, and when it is detected that the user performs the touch operation on the preset area, a preset operation is performed on each displayed entry that a track of the touch operation passes through, thereby avoiding an entry-by-entry operation performed by the user on displayed entries, implementing free selection and a batch operation on several entries of the displayed entries, and reducing operating time of the user.
    • Embodiment 2
  • This embodiment of the present invention provides a method for performing an operation on a touchscreen, which, as shown in FIG. 5, includes the following steps:
  • 501. Receive a touch operation when content currently displayed on a touchscreen is a displayed entry, where the displayed entry is data information displayed on a current interface, and the displayed entry corresponds to a data entry stored in a terminal. In one implementation manner, as shown in FIG. 3, the displayed entry is information displayed on an address book of a terminal, where each piece of information corresponds to one data entry stored in the terminal.
  • 502. Determine whether a track of the touch operation is a sliding track on a preset area, where the preset area is a part of a current operation interface, and the current operation interface should include at least the preset area and other areas.
  • If a user performs a sliding operation on the preset area, continue to perform step 503; otherwise, perform step 504.
  • 503. When the track of the touch operation of the user is the sliding track on the preset area, perform a preset operation on each entry that the track of the touch operation passes through. Alternatively, when the track of the touch operation of the user is the sliding track on the preset area, currently displayed content on the touchscreen may be retained and does not flip along with the touch operation.
  • Further, the preset operation of step 503 may be: when an entry that the track of the touch operation passes through is an unselected entry, performing a select operation on the entry; and when an entry that the track of the touch operation passes through is a selected entry, performing a deselect operation on the entry.
  • 504. If the user performs the touch operation on an area outside the preset area, perform processing according to a common sliding operation. That is, content displayed on the touchscreen is flipped according to the sliding operation. Flipping mentioned in this embodiment of the present invention may be flipping and displaying an entire display page, or updating a part of displayed content on the display page, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
  • In addition, alternatively, when multiple entries that the track of the touch operation passes through include a selected entry and an unselected entry, the preset operation of step 503 may further be: uniformly performing a select operation or a deselect operation on the multiple entries that the track of the touch operation passes through. For example, when the multiple entries that the track of the touch operation passes through include a selected entry and an unselected entry, no detection is performed on a quantity and a select operation is performed on all entries that the track of the touch operation passes through, or a deselect operation is performed on all entries that the track of the touch operation passes through.
  • Alternatively, when the multiple entries that the track of the touch operation passes through include a selected entry and an unselected entry, the preset operation of step 503 may further be performing a different preset operation according to a difference between the number of selected entries and the number of unselected entries. Specifically, the following steps may be included:
  • S1: when the multiple entries that the track of the touch operation passes through include both a selected entry and an unselected entry, detect the number of selected entries and the number of unselected entries of the multiple entries that the track of the touch operation passes through;
  • S2: when the number of the selected entries is not less than the number of the unselected entries of the multiple entries that the track of the touch operation passes through, perform a deselect operation on the multiple entries that the track of the touch operation passes through; or
  • S3: when the number of the selected entries is less than the number of the deselected entries of the multiple entries that the track of the touch operation passes through, perform a select operation on the multiple entries that the track of the touch operation passes through.
  • An example shown in FIG. 3 in which currently displayed entries on a touchscreen are a contact list is described. In this case, when a user performs a touch operation, where a track of the touch operation is a sliding track on a preset area 301, content currently displayed on the touchscreen is retained and does not flip, and a preset operation is performed on each entry of displayed entries that the touch operation of the user passes through. In FIG. 3, assume that the preset operation specifically is selecting a displayed entry; accordingly, an effect after selection is performed is shown in FIG. 4, where three entries of Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu are selected. If a touch operation is performed again in a case shown in FIG. 4, and a track of the touch operation is still a sliding track on the preset area 301, as shown in FIG. 6, a track 302 of the touch operation slides and passes through the three selected entries, accordingly, the three entries are deselected and a display state returns to a case shown in FIG. 2. However, if the track 302 of the touch operation slides and passes through not only the three selected entries, as shown in FIG. 7, alternatively, a select operation or a deselect operation may be uniformly performed on the entries that the track passes through, or a select operation or a deselect may be selectively performed according to a difference between the number of selected entries and the number of deselected entries. If the select operation is performed, a display result is shown in FIG. 8.
  • If the touch operation is performed outside the preset area, displayed content is displayed after flipping, which is the same as a touchscreen display solution in the prior art. A scope of the preset area may be preset on the terminal and is a part of the current operation interface. The preset area may have different positions and sizes for different display interfaces and displayed entries. As shown in FIG. 3, a scope of the preset area 301 may be either a scope in which contact check boxes shown in the figure are located or another preset scope. In addition, alternatively, in a process of performing steps of this embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the following actions may further be performed:
  • when the track of the touch operation of the user reaches an upper/lower edge or a left/right edge of the preset area, slide upward/downward displayed content on the touchscreen, or slide, to the left/right, displayed content on the touchscreen; and save the content selected or content deselected by the track of the touch operation.
  • In an actual scenario, because of a difference in a terminal model or a difference in an application program, a track of a touch operation thereof may be in a left-right direction or an up-down direction. In different cases, when the track of the touch operation reaches an edge of the preset area, a flipping operation is performed and the content selected or content deselected by the track of the touch operation is saved.
  • The reaching, by the track of the touch operation of the user, the upper/lower edge or left/right edge of the preset area may be implemented by using a method of periodically detecting a position of the track or by sending a signal to a processor when the touch operation is sensed at the edge of the screen, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
  • This embodiment of the present invention is described by using an example in which a displayed entry is a contact list; the displayed entry is not limited thereto in an actual scenario, and may also be an audio list, an SMS message list, and an image list, and the like. In addition, the terminal in this embodiment of the present invention may be an electronic device having a touchscreen, such as a mobile phone, a smart mobile terminal, and a navigator.
  • According to the method for performing an operation on a touchscreen provided by the embodiment of the present invention, it is detected whether a user performs a sliding operation on a preset area of a touchscreen, and when it is detected that the user performs the touch operation on the preset area, a preset operation is performed on each displayed entry that a track of the touch operation passes through, thereby avoiding an entry-by-entry operation performed by the user on displayed entries, implementing free selection and a batch operation on several entries of the displayed entries, and reducing operating time of the user. Moreover, according to alternative solutions provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention, it may further be implemented that when the user's sliding operation reaches an edge of the preset area, if an operation that has been performed is stored, displayed content may be flipped, thereby facilitating an actual application.
