Method and system for quickly operating elements in touch screen type mobile terminal

[0001] The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201210009138.9, filed on Jan. 12, 2012, entitled "Method and System for Fast Operation of Elements in Touch Screen Type Mobile Terminals", all of which The content is incorporated herein by reference. Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of mobile communications, and in particular to a method and system for performing a quick operation on elements in a touch screen type mobile terminal. Background technique

[0003] With the advent of the 3G era, additional demands for various multimedia audio and video functions have driven mobile devices to move toward large screen sizes. Accordingly, in the field of portable mobile device production, people are increasingly applying touch screens instead of non-touch screens as displays for mobile devices. This is mainly because the touch screen can replace the mouse or the keyboard to realize the human-computer interaction operation, and the saved device space can be used for the screen to present more and more complete multimedia content, thereby providing a better entertainment experience for the user. At present, many popular mobile devices, such as the Apple iPhone of the United States, the HTC mobile phone of Taiwan HTC, and some PDA devices such as electronic paper books are basically equipped with touch screens.

[0004] Mobile phone applications have become more and more applications as one of the extended means of mobile phone functions. Some of the most commonly used applications, such as address books, file managers, involve the management of attributes on elements. In general, we will assign contacts in the address book to different groups, such as classmates, colleagues, teachers, etc. These groups are the attributes of the "elements" of the contacts in the address book. In the file manager, for example, we often divide the media according to the type of the file. It can be sound/image/video, etc., depending on the source of the file, it can be divided into download/non-download. These types are attributes of the "element" of the file. When organizing these elements, it involves how fast, efficient, safe, and user-friendly.

[0005] Before the touch screen appeared, when using the button to operate the mobile phone, if attribute management is to be performed, people generally select the elements to be operated, then call up the processing menu, select the relevant items in the menu item, and then return the elements. Enter the appropriate group and confirm. According to this process, one party Faces, more interactive steps, longer time, affecting the user's operational efficiency; on the other hand, this type of operation can accomplish more limited management tasks, and efficiency needs to be improved.

[0006] The method of operating an element such as a contact or a file/folder on an existing mobile terminal having a touch screen is usually a click to select a specific contact or a file/folder, and then in the selected contact or file. A drop-down menu appears on the right side of the / folder, with different options in the menu, such as: Open, Delete, Voice Call, Write Message, Modify, etc. For further action, choose from the options that appear in the drop-down menu. Usually, the user's gesture is required to leave the selected element, and the next function option is selected by clicking. It can be understood that if these functional options are densely arranged, it is easy to cause an erroneous operation, but if it is dispersed, the user gesture is too long from the initial element to the subsequent option. Therefore, this method of operation is not fast enough and very monotonous. Summary of the invention

[0007] The present invention provides a method for performing a shortcut operation on an element in a touch screen type mobile terminal, which is used to implement shortcuts to elements in a mobile terminal such as a contact in an address book or a file or folder in a file management space. operating.

According to an aspect of the present invention, a method for performing a shortcut operation on an element in a touch screen type mobile terminal is provided, which includes the following steps:

a) in response to a user selection of the element, presenting a guide panel beside or around the element, the guide panel having at least one functional option;

b) detecting an action trend of the user from the element to a function option direction, determining the user's selection of the function option;

c) triggering an operation corresponding to the function option in response to the user selecting the function option.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a system for a shortcut operation of an element in a touch screen type mobile terminal is provided, which includes:

[0010] a rendering device for presenting a guide panel next to or around the element in response to a user selection of the element, the guide panel having at least one functional option;

[0011] detecting means for detecting movement of the user from the element to a function option direction Determining, determining, by the user, a selection of the functional option;

[0012] triggering means for triggering an operation corresponding to the function option in response to the user selecting the function option.

[0013] The method and system for performing a shortcut operation on an element in a mobile terminal provided by the present invention, by selecting an element, a guiding panel is provided, and the setting of the guiding panel is not in the form of a drop-down menu of a single sheet, which is preferably Select the element as the center or center of the fan or circle, and set each function option to the circle on the circumference. The user's directional action on the function options on the guide panel, such as a radial divergence action centered on the element, will be mapped to a different function on the selected circumference. In this way, the redundant action when the user performs the element operation is greatly reduced, which not only reduces the movement process of the user gesture, but also reduces the misoperation caused by the inaccurate click position due to the dispersed function option position. More preferably, the user gesture may be a slight swipe in the direction of the function option on the displayed guide panel, starting from the selection of the element, without leaving the position. According to the present invention, the management operation of the elements can be realized by the single operation of the touch screen display to better perform subsequent operations on the elements, improving the operational efficiency of the device equipped with the corresponding touch screen display.

The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting.

[0023] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and arrangements of the specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of clarity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and/or arrangements discussed. It should be noted that the components illustrated in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. The description of the known components and processing techniques and processes is omitted to avoid unnecessarily limiting the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart diagram of a specific implementation manner of a method for performing a shortcut operation on an address book according to the present invention, including steps S101 to S102, which are combined with FIG. 2 to FIG. 9 . Two specific embodiments illustrate the method illustrated in FIG.

[0025] Step S101, in response to the user's selection of the element, presenting a guide panel beside or around the contact, the guide panel having at least one function option. For example, on the display screen of a mobile terminal with a touch display screen, the address book application is opened. Usually, the screen display includes two areas: a status information column 11 and an application area, wherein the application area further includes attribute management. Panel 12, element list panel 13 and function panel 14, are shown in FIG. The mobile terminal 1 can be a mobile phone, a notebook computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a tablet computer, etc., and the mobile phone is taken as an example for description.

The status information field 11 may be a status display of any mobile terminal general program. For example, in the status information column 11, there may be a network signal display, a power supply margin display, a time display, a mobile operator identification display, and a personalized mobile phone signature display. In the function panel 14, it can be a collection of various operations required by the application. Can also be convenient for other mobile phones, with This application-independent collection of operations is a combination of the above two parts. For example, in the address book application represented by this example, the controls on the function panel 14 can be used to switch to group display and switch back to the current page, view call records, direct dialing, and the like. While the current application does not require additional operations, the function panel 14 may include operations that trigger switching to other applications, or switching operations between different desktops, and the like. Any other possible form of panel use suitable for use with the present invention can be readily envisioned by those skilled in the art.

[0027] The attribute management panel 12 displays the existing attributes, which are "all" and "colleagues" 121, respectively.

"Family" and "friends". You can also add new properties by adding a button ( "+" ). Corresponding element list panel 13 corresponding to the attribute management panel, currently showing a list of all contacts, for example: Zhao II 131. If the user selects any of the controls in the property management panel 12, the element list panel 13 is also updated. In addition, the current list and the possible list can be distinguished by visual effects. For example, all contacts are currently displayed, then "all" is gray, and other attribute groups such as "same", "family", "friend" are white. The positional relationship and expression of the attribute management panel 12 and the element list panel 13 in the present invention are not unique, and those skilled in the art can easily implement various similar positional relationships and expressions.

[0028] When the user needs to dial or move the contact "Zhang San" or use the WeChat, Bluetooth transmission and other applications for the contact "Zhang San", you can select "Zhang San" with a specific gesture different from clicking. . The particular gesture can be selected by double tapping, long press, swipe, select, check, draw fork, or other smearing on the contact's display icon. As shown in Figure 3, when the user presses the contact "Zhang San", the diamond guide panel 15 is displayed around the contact "Zhang San". Optionally, the guide panel 15 is a fan, a circle, a rectangle, or a triangle with a center or a center of the contact "Zhang San".

[0029] The guide panel 15 displays three function options: dial, write information, modify. The function options are distributed on the outer edge of the guide panel 15, and optionally, when the guide panel is in the shape of a triangle or the like, the function options may be on the apex of the guide panel 15. Optionally, the function of the guide panel 15 may be more, not limited to three, and of course, only one. The presentation and selection of the function options may be preset by the user, or may be adjusted by the mobile terminal according to statistics such as the frequency of use of the user, usage habits, and the like. Feature options include but are not limited to: Dial, Send Short Message, Delete, WeChat, View Details, Move, Modify, Set Call Ring Tone, and more.

[0030] Step S102, detecting an action trend of the user from the element to a function option direction Potential, determining the user's selection of the functional options. When the user detects a sliding or continuous click from the element to the function option direction, the user's selection of the function option is determined. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the user selects a dialing, a sliding gesture is used to draw a finger that is long pressed on the "Zhang San" toward the dialing option on the guiding panel 15, which does not necessarily reach the option, but the action trend may be Detected. The dashed arrow shown in Fig. 4 is characterized as a trajectory of the user's sliding direction from the contact "Zhang San" to the function option "Dial". In fact, the user's finger does not have to complete the action of the entire track, and the movement thereof is sufficient for the identification of the corresponding sensing device of the mobile terminal touch screen.

[0031] Step S103, in response to the selection of the function option, triggering an operation corresponding to the function option. The mobile terminal triggers a dialing function in response to the user's selection of a dialing option, as shown in FIG.

The method shown in Fig. 1 will be further explained below by another embodiment shown in Figs. 6 to 9.

[0033] Still operating on the display screen of the mobile terminal 1 with a touch display as shown in Fig. 2. The following uses a mobile phone as an example for explanation.

[0034] When the user needs to dial or move the contact "Zhang San" or use the WeChat, Bluetooth transmission and other applications for the contact "Zhang San", it is necessary to select "Zhang San" with a specific gesture different from clicking. . The particular gesture can be selected by double tapping, long press, swipe, select, check, draw fork, or other smearing on the contact's display icon. As shown in Fig. 6, when the user double-clicks the contact "Zhang San", a circular guide panel 15 is displayed around the contact "Zhang San". With the guide panel 15, the user's operations on the contacts will be greatly reduced. The user's finger for operation can trigger the function by detecting the sliding trend even if it does not need to reach the corresponding function option, but slides slightly from the contact card position to the different direction or dimension of the function option.

The shape of the guide panel 15 is not limited to a circle, and may be a sector, a rectangle, a triangle, or the like. The Guide Panel 15 shows four function options: Dial, Modify, Move, Delete. Optionally, the function panel of the boot panel 15 can be more, not limited to four. Of course, there can be only one. The presentation and selection of the function options may be preset by the user, or may be adjusted by the mobile terminal 1 based on statistics such as the frequency of use of the user, usage habits, and the like. Feature options include, but are not limited to, dialing, sending short messages, deleting, WeChat, viewing details, moving, modifying, setting up ringtones, and more.

[0036] When the user selects to delete, use a swipe gesture to slide the finger long pressed on "Zhang San" to The delete option on the guide panel 15 is as shown in FIG. The dashed arrow shown in Figure 7 is characterized by the user sliding from the contact "Zhang San" to the function option "Delete".

The mobile terminal 1 triggers the delete function in response to the user's selection of the delete option, as shown in FIG. Optionally, in order to avoid the erroneous deletion operation, the mobile terminal 1 presents a judgment selection panel 16, and responds to the user's operation on the judgment selection panel 16, and confirms the deletion selection. When the user selects the confirmation, the mobile terminal 1 triggers the deletion operation in response to the user's confirmation selection. When the selected contact is deleted, the contact will no longer appear in the element list panel 13, as shown in FIG. When the user selects cancel, the mobile terminal 1 does not trigger the delete operation in response to the user's deselection, and returns to the interface as shown in FIG. 2.

Figure 10 is a schematic illustration of one embodiment of a system 20 for performing a quick operation of an address book in accordance with the present invention. The system 20 includes a presentation device 21, a detection device 22, and a trigger device 23.

The rendering device 21 is operative to present a navigation panel next to the element in response to a particular gesture selection of an element, the navigation panel having at least one functional option. The following takes an element as a contact as an example for illustration.

[0040] On the display screen of the mobile terminal with the touch display screen, when the address book application is opened, two areas are displayed: a status information bar area and an application area, and the latter further includes an attribute management panel, an element list panel, and Function panel.

[0041] The status information field may be a status display of any mobile terminal general program. For example, in the status information bar, there may be a network signal display, a power supply margin display, a time display, a mobile operator identification display, and a personalized mobile phone signature display. In the function panel, it can be a collection of various operations required by the application. It can also be a collection of operations that are convenient for other operations, not related to the application, or a combination of the above two parts. For example, in the address book application related to the present invention, the controls on the function panel can be used to switch to the group display and switch back to the current page, view the call history, direct dial, and the like. While the current application does not require additional operations, the function panel can include actions that trigger a switch to another application, or a switch between different desktops, and so on. Any other possible panel use form suitable for use with the present invention can be readily envisioned by those skilled in the art.

[0042] After entering the address book management interface, the attribute management panel displays the attributes in the existing address book, for example, "all", "colleague", "family" and "friend". We can also pass Add a new attribute by adding a button. A corresponding list of elements corresponding to the attribute management panel can display a list of all contacts.

[0043] When the user needs to dial or move a certain contact "Zhang San" or use the WeChat, Bluetooth transmission, etc. for the contact "Zhang San", it is necessary to select "Zhang" with a specific gesture different from clicking three" . The particular gesture can be selected by double tap, long press, swipe, select, check, draw fork, or other smudge on the contact's display icon. For example, if the user presses the contact "Zhang San", the user will display a rectangular guide panel next to the contact "Zhang San". The side can be up, down, left, and right, that is, around the contact. The shape of the guide panel is not limited to a rectangle, but may be a fan shape, a circle shape, a triangle shape, or the like.

[0044] At least one function option is displayed on the guide panel, for example: dialing, writing information, modifying. Optionally, the function options of the guide panel can be more, not limited to three, of course, there can be only one. The presentation and selection of the function options may be preset by the user, or may be adjusted by the system 20 based on statistics such as the frequency of use of the user, usage habits, and the like. Feature options include but are not limited to: Dial, Send Short Message, Delete, WeChat, View Details, Move, Modify, Set Call Ring Tone, and more.

The detecting device 22 is configured to detect an action trend of the user from the element to a certain function option direction, and determine the user's selection of the function option. Depending on the form of the guide panel presented by the presentation device 21, the user may also take other actions to complete the selection of the function options. For example, when the guide panel typically fan out the function options, the user's action trend toward the direction of a function option means the selection of the option as long as the action trend is sufficient to be detected.

The triggering means 23 triggers the dialing function of the mobile terminal in response to the user's selection of the dialing option. Similarly, the triggering device 23 can also trigger other functions, such as deleting, sending a short message, etc., in response to the user's selection of other functional options.

[0047] The above operation is performed by using a contact card in an address book as an example. In fact, when it is necessary to perform operations such as editing, viewing a version, or deleting a file or a folder in a file space of the mobile terminal, the same can be applied. The quick operation method of the invention. The method and system for quickly operating elements in the mobile terminal provided by the present invention can better perform attribute management or call making operations for a specific contact, thereby improving the operation efficiency of the device equipped with the corresponding touch screen display.

[0048] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments. The present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention.
