Description

Description
Method and Apparatus for Displaying an Operation on a Touch
Screen of a Device
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the field of computer technologies, and more specifically to a method and apparatus for displaying an operation on a touch screen of a device.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the prior art, with the development of a touch-screen device, some touch screens have become larger and larger. When a user performs an operation such as clicking on an application icon in the screen or inputting textual information in a device having a larger touch screen, the user needs to perform relevant operations with cooperation of two hands at many times. Because if only one hand is used, the operation can only be performed in the screen by thumb, but the reach of thumb is very limited.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 schematically shows a flow diagram of a method for displaying according to the present invention, wherein the method according to the present invention comprises step S I , step S2, and step S3.
Wherein, the method according to the present invention is implemented through a presenting apparatus included in a touch-screen device. The touch-screen device includes, but not limited to, any kind of electronic product that may perform human-machine interaction by finger(s) or other object touching a touch screen of a device display, e.g., a touch-screen mobile phone, a touch-screen tablet computer, a touch-screen laptop, a touch-screen game machine, etc.
It should be noted that the touch-screen intelligent devices are only examples, and other existing or future possibly emerging touch-screen devices, if applicable to the present invention, should also be included within the protection scope of the present invention, and are incorporated here by reference.
With reference to Fig. 1 , in step S I , a presenting apparatus obtains a display operation instruction.
Wherein, the display operation instruction includes, but not limited to, an operation instruction of moving display item(s) currently having been displayed in a display region of the touch screen.
Wherein, the display item includes, but not limited to, to-be-drawn respective objects in the display region. Preferably, the display item includes, but not limited to, at least any one of the following:
1 ) to-be-drawn respective pixel points in the display region;
2) objects drawn by drawing functions corresponding to respective applications, e.g., application icons, user interfaces of the applications, etc., and for further examples, a desktop wallpaper, etc. Preferably, the display operation instruction includes, but not limited to, movement direction and movement distance information when the user operates on a touch screen.
Wherein, the movement direction includes, but not limited to, up, down, left, right, and inclination, etc.
Specifically, the presenting apparatus determines a corresponding display operation instruction based on the user's touch operation on the touch screen.
Preferably, step S I according to the present invention includes step S 101 (not shown) and step S I 02 (not shown).
In step S I 01 , a presenting apparatus receives input instruction information.
Wherein, the input instruction information includes various kinds of instruction information that may be input by the user based on the touch screen. For example, click, double click, slide, long press, etc.
Next, in step S I 02, the presenting apparatus determines whether the current input instruction information is a display operation instruction based on a predetermined input rule.
Wherein, the predetermined input rule is for determining, based on one or more input instruction information, whether the currently received input instruction information is a display operation instruction.
Preferably, the predetermined input rule includes: when an rule-out instruction has been previously received before the input instruction information, determine that the received input instruction information is not a display operation instruction, wherein the rule-out instruction includes a predetermined operation for ruling out a subsequent input instruction from being a display operation instruction.
Wherein, the rule-out instruction could be determined based on the user operation, or, based on the default setting in the operating system. Preferably, the predetermined input rule includes: based on one or more preset non-display operation instruction, deciding whether the received input instruction information is a non-display operation instruction.
For example, the user presets, in a device, the following two non-display operation instructions:
Instruction A: double click, long press and slide after the second click;
Instruction B: circling, then long pressing and sliding.
Then, when the presenting apparatus receives input instruction information "double click, long press and slide after the second click," the presenting apparatus determines that it matches instruction A and determines that the input instruction information is a non-display operation instruction.
Preferably, the user may set a required predetermined input rule based on its own use habit and/or actual need.
More preferably, if the presenting apparatus decides being not a display operation instruction, transmits it to an operating system, such that a corresponding executing module responds to the input instruction information.
For example, the predetermined rule comprises: if a rule-out instruction "double click" has been received, then the subsequent input instruction is not a display operation instruction. Then when the presenting apparatus receives input instruction information "sliding down 10 pixels" in step S 101 , the presenting apparatus decides whether a previously received input instruction information is a "double click" instruction, and when determining that the previously received input instruction information is a "double click," it decides that the current input instruction information is not a display operation instruction, and transmits the input instruction information to the operating system, such that the operating system performs a corresponding operation based on an actual operation object corresponding to the input instruction information, e.g., the scroll bar as currently displayed, i.e., scrolling down the scroll bar by 10 pixels. For a further example, with a predetermined input rule as mentioned above, the presenting apparatus receives input instruction information "moving 20 pixels to the right" in step S 101 , and the presenting apparatus determines that the previous input instruction information is not a "double-click" operation, then the presenting apparatus decides that the input instruction information is display operation information, and performs a subsequent operation based on the display operation information.
Next, in step S2, the presenting apparatus determines position offset information of respective display items in a display region based on the display operation instruction.
Wherein, the position offset information includes a lateral offset amount and/or a longitudinal offset amount based on a display region of a touch screen.
Specifically, the presenting apparatus determines a lateral offset amount and/or a longitudinal offset amount corresponding to respective display items, respectively, based on the moving direction and moving distance indicated by the display operation instruction.
Next, in step S3, based on location information of respective display items in the display region and their respective position offset information, the presenting apparatus determines new position information of the respective display items in the display region, so as to display corresponding display items based on the new location information.
Herein, an initial position of the display region is a succession to its end position, while the end position is a preamble of the initial position. In other words, respective display items displayed in the current display region may be displayed by up-down and/or left-right scrolling in a top-bottom connected manner, preferably, the top-down connected manner may be implemented using a plurality of effects, e.g., implemented using a cylindrical scroll effect.
Wherein, the initial position includes a lateral initial position and/or a longitudinal initial position; the end position includes a lateral end position and/or a longitudinal end position.
Wherein, the lateral initial position is an initial point of all position information having a same longitudinal coordinate value in a display region, while the lateral end position is an end point of all position information having a same longitudinal coordinate value in the display region. Similarly, the longitudinal initial position is an initial point of all position information that having a same lateral coordinate value in a display region, while the longitudinal end position is an end point of all position information having a same lateral coordinate value in the display region.
Preferably, the position information is determined based on the lateral coordinate information and the longitudinal coordinate information of the display region, the location offset information including a lateral offset amount and/or a longitudinal offset amount, wherein the step S3 comprises step S301 (not shown) and step S302 (not shown).
In step S301 , for respective display items, if a sum of lateral/ longitudinal coordinate information and a corresponding offset amount is greater than a lateral/ longitudinal region length of the display region, the presenting apparatus determines new lateral/ longitudinal coordinate information based on a sum of the two and a difference between corresponding region lengths.
In step S302, for respective displaying items, if the sum of the lateral/ longitudinal coordinate information and the lateral/ longitudinal offset amount is less than the lateral/longitudinal initial position coordinate of the display region, then the presenting apparatus determines new lateral/ longitudinal coordinate information based on a difference between the two and a sum of the lateral/ longitudinal region lengths.
Wherein, when the offset direction and the coordinate direction are consistent, the offset amount is a positive value, while when the offset direction is contradictory with the coordinate direction, the offset amount is a negative value.
For example, the current location information of the displaying item is (30, 60), the lateral coordinate scope of the display region is [0, 600], the longitudinal coordinate scope of the display region is [0, 1000], while the lateral offset amount obtained by the presenting apparatus is -40, then the presenting apparatus determines that the new lateral coordinate of the displaying item = 30-40+600 = 590. Then, the displaying item is drawn at the new position information (590, 60) of the displaying item.
According to one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method further comprises step S4 (not shown), while the step S2 further comprises step S201 (not shown).
In step S4, the presenting apparatus obtains a presenting mode determined based on the selection operation.
Wherein, the presenting mode is for presenting display items of the current display region in a specific manner in a top-bottom connected manner.
Next, in step S201 , the presenting apparatus determines position offset information of the respective display items in the display region based on the presenting mode and the display operation instruction. For example, Fig. 3 schematically shows a display region of a touch screen in prior art. Wherein, predetermined selectable modes include "trapezoid mode" and "film mode". When the user selects "trapezoid mode," referring to Fig. 4, the display region presents respective display items in the original display region in a manner like a trapezoid. Next, the presenting apparatus obtains display operation information that the user slides up in step SI , then the presenting apparatus determines, based on the display operation information, pixels that need to be slide up based on the display operation information, i.e., longitudinal offset amounts of respective display items, and determines different lateral offset amounts of respective display items corresponding to different longitudinal coordinates based on the "trapezoid mode" so as to finally determine new position information of respective display items, thereby obtaining the display region newly drawn in the trapezoid mode as shown in Fig. 5.
According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method according to the present invention further comprises step S5 (not shown) and step S6 (not shown).
In step S5, the presenting apparatus obtains operation location information corresponding to a user's operation behavior.
Wherein, the operation behavior includes other operation behaviors different from the display operation information.
Specifically, the presenting apparatus obtains coordinate information corresponding to the user's operation behavior with respect to the touch screen.
Next, in step S6, the presenting apparatus determines its corresponding display item based on the operation position information such that the operating system responds to the operation behavior based on the display item.
Specifically, the presenting apparatus determines, based on the operation position information and the position offset information, original position information corresponding to the operation position information, and determines its corresponding display item based on the original position information, such that the operating system responds to the operation behavior based on the display item.
For example, the presenting apparatus obtains a "single-click" operation behavior at the coordinates (100, 230), and the position offset information obtained by the presenting apparatus is (-50, 120), then the presenting apparatus determines that the original position corresponding to the operation behavior is (50, 350), and transmits the position information to the operating system. The operating system determines that the application corresponding to the original position information (50, 350) is a search app, and initiates the search app to respond to the "click" operation behavior.
Based on a preferred solution of the present invention, the presenting apparatus may determine, based on the user's setting operation, whether to perform the method according to the present invention. For example, when it is obtained that the user initiates a "one-hand operating mode" in the mobile phone; the presenting apparatus performs steps S I to S3 so as to facilitate the user to use one hand to operate the mobile phone.
The method according to the present invention is applicable to various applications without a need of changing its application layer and is thus easily implemented. Moreover, the solution according to the present invention has a certain continuity with an original presenting mode, such that the user needn't adapt a new presenting mode, which enhances user experience; the solution according to the present invention enables the user to complete various operations in a touch screen device with a larger screen by displaying the display region in a top-bottom connected manner, e.g., in a cylindrical display pattern. For example, for a traditional display pattern based on a touch screen mobile phone, because the screen is very large, it might be very difficult for the user to use a thumb of one hand to click onto a picture at the utmost top of the touch screen of the mobile phone; while based on the solution of the present invention, the user can slip the screen of the mobile phone with one hand, such that the icon that is originally displayed at the top of the screen is scrolled to an appropriate position in the screen for being presented; therefore, it is much easier to click onto the icon using a thumb of one hand.

More preferably, the displaying device according to the present invention also comprises a transmitting device (not shown).
If the deciding device decides being not a display operation instruction, the transmitting device transmits it to an operating system, such that a corresponding executing module responds to the input instruction information.
