Preferred embodiment of the invention

In order to make the objects, the technical solutions and the advantages of the present invention more clearly, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the features in the embodiments and the embodiments of the present application may be arbitrarily combined with each other.

In this embodiment, the display method of the terminal interface includes:

The terminal selects a picture containing the graphic selected by the user from the locally pre-configured picture according to the user's selection, and then displays the picture as a desktop background picture according to the color selected by the user; wherein, the displayed inside the graphic The color is different from the colors in other areas of the picture.

When the pictures are arranged in the terminal, the coordinates of the graphics included in the picture are also arranged in the terminal, so when the terminal performs the display of the picture, the contour of the graphic can be determined according to the coordinate information, and The filling of the in- and out-of-contour colors is performed according to the position of the contour.

In another embodiment, the color of the area other than the graphic selected by the user in the above picture may be displayed using the color of the outer casing of the terminal. Thus, other areas than the one selected by the user are visually integrated with the outer casing of the terminal, thereby giving the user a visual effect of changing the shape of the screen.

In addition, in order to further enhance the visual effect of the change in the shape of the screen, when the icon is displayed, the icon can be displayed only in the graphic selected by the user. In order to ensure the uniformity of the style, multiple sets of icons can be pre-configured in the terminal, and each icon has the same shape in the shape of each icon, so that when the icon is displayed, the terminal can select the graphic in the currently displayed image. Consistent icons are displayed.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the following embodiment is described by taking a case where a user selects and displays a picture containing a circle, but is not limited thereto, and the same applies to a picture having other shapes in the picture, such as a rectangle, a diamond, a hexagon, and a heart. Shape, concentric shape, etc., as shown in Figure 2 (a) ~ Figure 2 (f). A detailed description will be given below on specific implementations.

Determine the corresponding UI according to the shape of the graphic selected by the user (User Interface, User Interface) Display style: As shown in Figure 3, the display style of the UI matches the shape of the graphic selected by the user. When the user selects the rectangular graphic, the UI display is rectangular (this way and most mobile phones on the market today). Similarly, a rectangular screen area, a rectangular icon, and a rectangular text display mode; when the user selects a heart-shaped graphic, the terminal finds a heart-shaped icon for display in the local configuration.

In order to facilitate the transformation of the display style, various graphic shape options can be configured in the terminal, and an index ID is configured for each shape. For example, the original full screen display index ID is 1, the rectangle index ID is 2, the diamond index ID is 3, the hexagon index ID is 4, the heart index ID is 5, and the concentric shape index ID is 6.

According to the size of the screen and the shape of the graphic, the screen coordinates corresponding to each shape are configured in the terminal; for example, the rectangular display mode can mark the coordinate positions of the four vertices; and the circular shape can be marked as the outline distance away from the center point of the screen. Distance; The internal area of the graphic is mainly used for the display of UI icons, and the remaining area is the edge area.

Establish the association relationship between the index ID and the corresponding coordinates of each graphic shape; the specific expression mode can be implemented by using the structure or linked list.

In addition, other areas than the user selected graphics can be filled in with the following colors:

Single color fill; fills the area other than the user's selected image with a single color, such as filling with the terminal shell color;

Composite color filling; filling each sub-area in other areas than the user-selected graphic with different colors; for example, when the user selects a picture containing a diamond to display, the picture is, except for the diamond The area can be divided into four parts, each of which can be displayed in a different color than the other three parts.

The background image is filled; other areas than the user-selected graphics are filled with other pictures configured in the terminal, as shown in FIG.

The specific filling manner may be provided by the terminal for the user to select a corresponding menu; according to the user's selection, corresponding to different color filling mode IDs. For example, the single color fill ID is 1, the composite color fill ID is 2, and the background image fill ID is 3.

If the user chooses to use a single color fill method, provide a color name or color view for the user to Selecting, and associating the color selected by the user with the ID of the selected filling method; if the user selects the composite color filling mode, the user is required to separately select a color for each sub-region and associate with the ID of the selected filling mode;

If the user selects the background image fill mode, the user is prompted to select the corresponding picture, read the picture into memory and associate it with the ID of the selected fill mode.

In summary, the overall process for selecting the fill mode is:

Provide corresponding menu prompts, and record the following information according to the flow of the shape setting mode selected by the user: the graphic shape index ID selected by the current user, the contour position coordinate corresponding to the shape, and the corresponding UI display style ID; according to the color selected by the user Filling the process, marking the color fill ID corresponding to the type and the color value selected by the user; the color filling method may be added to the corresponding ID information chain by using a linked list; then the above information is recorded in a linked list for subsequent Obtained when displayed.

If you want to change the shape of the display graphic, you can trigger it manually by the user or the terminal can trigger it yourself. The manual mode provides the user with a corresponding menu for the user to select the shape of the graphic, and changes the graphic according to the user's settings after the user selects the completion.

The terminal can trigger the following two methods: time mode and number of short messages.触发Use time mode to trigger, the process is as follows:

(1) Providing an interface for the user to select a start time, an end time, a change screen type, and a repeat mode, which are set by the user;

(2) Determine whether the time period set by the user overlaps with the existing time period, and if so, prompt the user to modify, otherwise enter (3);

(3) save the time period set by the user and the type of the change screen;

(4) If the user continues to add, repeat (2), otherwise save all settings and start the timer;

(5) Obtain the current time, determine whether it belongs to the time period set by the user, then enter (6); otherwise continue to execute (5);

(6) Display the corresponding graphic according to the type of the variable screen corresponding to the time period.

触发 Use the number of SMS to trigger, the process is as follows:

(1) Calculate the number of text messages received in the current inbox; (2) obtaining the number of graphic shapes configured in the current terminal, and each graphic corresponds to an index ID identifier;

(3) establishing an association relationship between the number of received short messages and the shape of the graphic;

Among them, the association can use any of the following:

Method 1: Use the mode of modulo (ie, the number of inbox messages and the number of graphic shapes), then

ID = A % N: Where A is the number of received SMS messages in the current inbox; N is the number of graphic shapes configured in the current terminal; ID is the index ID value of the graphic shape.

In this way, you can ensure that every time you receive a text message, trigger a change screen, and then cycle, each time a text message changes screen, increasing the user experience.

Method 2: Use the inbox capacity equalization method:

For example, the total capacity of the inbox is 500, and the number of graphic shapes configured in the current terminal is five; when there are 0-99 short messages in the inbox, the graphic shape with the index ID of 1 is used. When there are 100-199 SMS messages in the inbox, use the graphic shape with index ID 2, and so on. In this way, you can also indirectly display the storage status of the inbox to the user, reminding the user to delete the useless information in time, and avoiding the full text message and not receiving the new text message.

Method 3: Random mode:

Each time the terminal receives a short message, it calls the system function to take a random positive integer K, and uses K and the number of graphic shapes configured in the current terminal to obtain the index ID of the graphic shape, so that the shape of the filled area can be randomly displayed.

(4) When receiving a new short message, the terminal calculates a corresponding graphic shape index ID according to the number of short messages in the current inbox;

(5) According to the current graphic shape index ID, select the corresponding picture to display.

In this embodiment, a terminal includes:

An interaction unit, configured to provide an interface for the user to select a graphic to be displayed and a color of the graphic; a display unit, configured to select, according to the selection result of the user received by the interaction unit, from the locally pre-configured image a picture of the graphic selected by the user, and then displaying the picture as a desktop background picture according to a color selected by the user; wherein the graphic is displayed The color inside is different from the color of other areas in the picture.
