Description

Menu layout method and device

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a menu layout method and apparatus.

Background technique

With the development of IT technology, the functions of mobile terminals are increasingly diversified, and accordingly, the requirements for input configuration of mobile terminals are increasing. Among them, the touch screen has been widely used as an input device that is small in size and convenient to use. In a mobile terminal having a touch screen, the user typically makes a touch input on the touch screen by a finger or a touch pen. In recent years, with the familiarity and increasing grasp of touch input, all human-computer interaction on the mobile terminal can be completed by touch input, and the mobile terminal basically does not need the input of the physical button. At the same time, in order to improve the user experience, the touch screen of the mobile terminal also starts from the earliest 3.5 inches, and is upgraded to 4 inches, 4.5 inches, 4.7 inches, 5 inches, 5.2 inches, 5.5 inches, 6 inches, 7 inches, 10 inches, etc. Specs.

The input screen of the mobile terminal is getting larger and larger, which brings more and more functions and a wonderful experience to the user. However, there are some disadvantages in operating a mobile terminal with a large screen. For example, it is difficult for a user to operate the entire terminal screen with one hand. In general, in mobile terminals with input screens of 6 inches or less, users can often be manipulated with one hand; but on larger input screens, such as 7 inches, 10 inches, due to the larger screen, basic The user cannot control the entire screen with one hand. At this time, the user often needs to hold the mobile terminal with one hand and input operation with the other hand. For a terminal that can be hand-held by a user, the user cannot perform a full-screen touch input well, and can only perform a touch operation within a limited finger manipulation range when the user single-handheld the mobile terminal, generally the lower left of the screen. The area of the corner (for left-hand operation) or the lower right corner (for right-hand operation) can cause problems in the large-touch area that cannot be easily manipulated.

In view of the above problems, the following two solutions are mainly used in the related art: one is to sacrifice the input range of the screen, and the user's usual operations are concentrated in the lower left corner or the lower right corner of the screen, and the user only needs to be at the lower left of the screen when holding the screen. The touch input operation is performed at the corner or the lower right corner, but in this operation mode, only the most commonly used icons can be operated, and the icons that are not commonly used cannot be conveniently operated. Another way is to use the one-hand mode to zoom out the current screen of the mobile terminal, in order to facilitate the user to operate on a reduced screen, and this method will cause the accuracy of the user's click to decrease, and this way sacrifices It is not a good solution to increase the user display area brought by the screen. It can be seen that the above two solutions in the related art cannot effectively solve the problem.

In view of the problem of the inability to conveniently manipulate a large-sized touch screen in the related art, an effective solution has not been proposed yet.

detailed description

The invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

It is to be understood that the terms "first", "second" and the like in the specification and claims of the present invention are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or order.

A menu layout method is provided in this embodiment. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a menu layout method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the process includes the following steps:

Step S102, receiving a layout signal;

Step S104, performing relocation of the position and/or order of the operation items in the predetermined menu according to the layout signal.

Wherein, the re-layout of the position of the operation item in the predetermined menu includes adjusting the position of the operation item, and adjusting the overall position of all the operation items in the menu, for example, when the left-hand one-hand operation is performed, all operations in the menu can be performed. Items are re-arranged to a position that is easy to operate with the left hand. For example, when the action item in the menu of the picture needs to be re-arranged, the menu of the picture may only have "forward", "delete", "copy", "slide" The four operation items are played, and therefore, according to the method in the embodiment of the present invention, the overall position of the four operation items (the arrangement order of the four operation items may be maintained), the four operation items Re-layout to a location that is easily accessible to the left hand. Similarly, the sequential re-layout of the operation items in the predetermined menu includes adjusting the order of arrangement between the operation items, or taking the left-hand one-hand operation as an example, and the most accessible position of the left hand should be the middle position on the left side of the terminal screen. Therefore, when the order of the operation items needs to be re-arranged, the most commonly used operation items (for example, the "delete" operation item in the picture menu) can be laid out in the most accessible position of the left hand, that is, the layout is on the left side of the terminal. In the middle position, other unusable operation items can be arranged in the lower position or the upper position on the left side of the terminal, thereby facilitating the user to operate the picture. Of course, the above two re-layout modes can be combined, and the operation items in the menu can be repositioned at the same time, and the order is re-arranged. This allows you to lay out the most common operating items for your users to the most accessible locations.

Through the above steps, when the predetermined application needs to be processed, the operation items in the menu of the application may be re-arranged, for example, the operation item is arranged in the most accessible area of the one-hand operation, thereby realizing one-hand operation. The purpose of the screen terminal. The invention solves the problem that the touch screen with large size can not be conveniently controlled in the related art, thereby achieving the problem of conveniently controlling the touch screen with a large size.

The above-mentioned layout signal can be input in various manners. In an optional embodiment, the layout signal can be input by at least one of the following methods: inputting a layout signal by receiving a fingerprint signal input by the fingerprint sensor; The board receives the touch signal input for a predetermined length of time to input the layout signal. The fingerprint sensor may be located in a predetermined area of the outer surface of the terminal, and the touch panel may also be located in a predetermined area of the outer surface of the terminal, and the predetermined area may be the back side, the side surface or the front side of the terminal. The following is an example of setting the fingerprint sensor or the touchpad on the back of the terminal as an example: in order to facilitate one-handed operation, the fingerprint sensor or the touchpad can be placed at the most easily accessible position of the index finger or middle finger of the back of the terminal, wherein When the terminal device is used, the contact area between the finger and the back of the terminal is relatively large, and the range that can be touched is relatively wide. Therefore, it is conceivable to set the fingerprint sensor or the touchpad at a position where the index finger or the middle finger of the terminal is easily accessible, which does not affect the position. The normal operation of the terminal screen is convenient for operation and brings greater convenience to the user. Wherein, when receiving the layout signal through the fingerprint sensor, the fingerprint signal may be disregarded, and only the duration of the finger staying on the fingerprint sensor may be considered, and the fingerprint signal and the duration of staying on the fingerprint sensor may also be considered. This increases the diversity of layout signal inputs.

In an optional embodiment, the repositioning the position and/or order of the operation items in the predetermined menu according to the layout signal comprises: determining the number of uses of each operation item in the predetermined menu and/or the operation when inputting the layout signal. a type, wherein the operation type includes a left-hand operation or a right-hand operation; determining an operation item that needs to be re-arranged according to the number of uses; and arranging the operation item that needs to be re-arranged in a predetermined order to a position corresponding to the operation type, wherein When the operation type is left-hand operation, the operation item that needs to be re-arranged is laid out on the left side of the terminal display screen. When the operation type is right-hand operation, the operation item that needs to be re-arranged is laid out on the right side of the terminal display screen. side. That is, when the specific layout is performed, the operation item with the most usage can be laid out in the most accessible position of the left or right hand (all the operation items in the predetermined menu can also be laid out), and the menu can be used when the operation item layout is performed. All the operation items existing on the interface are laid out, and the specific position is laid out according to the number of times of use; when the operation item layout is performed, only some operation items may be laid out, for example, only the operation items whose usage times exceed the predetermined threshold may be used. The layout can be hidden for other operation items that are rarely used. Of course, the specific hidden operation items can be judged by the system and the hidden operation is performed, or can be manually set by the user. The layout mentioned above is only a preferred method on the left side of the terminal display or on the right side. The user can also set the layout mode according to his or her preference. For example, when operating for the left hand, the operation item can be arranged in the layout. Other areas besides the left side, such as the underside of the display, or even the right side of the display.

In an optional embodiment, after the position and/or the order of the operation items in the predetermined menu are re-arranged according to the layout signal, the application corresponding to the predetermined menu can be conveniently operated, wherein the fingerprint sensor and the / or the touchpad selects the operation item in the predetermined menu, and processes the application corresponding to the predetermined menu according to the selected operation item. For example, for the menu of the QQ application, the menu includes multiple operation items, when needed When the "Find a friend" operation item in the menu is processed, the operation item can be selected through the fingerprint sensor and/or the touchpad, thereby performing the operation of finding a friend. The fingerprint sensor may be located in a predetermined area of the outer surface of the terminal, and the touch panel may also be located in a predetermined area of the outer surface of the terminal, and the predetermined area may be the back side, the side surface or the front side of the terminal. The following is an example of setting the fingerprint sensor or the touchpad on the back of the terminal as an example: in order to facilitate one-handed operation, the fingerprint sensor or the touchpad can be placed at the most easily accessible position of the index finger or middle finger of the back of the terminal, wherein When the terminal device is used, the contact area between the finger and the back of the terminal is relatively large, and the range that can be touched is relatively wide. Therefore, it is conceivable to set the fingerprint sensor or the touchpad at a position where the index finger or the middle finger of the terminal is easily accessible, which does not affect the position. The normal operation of the terminal screen is convenient for operation and brings greater convenience to the user.

In an optional embodiment, selecting the operation item in the predetermined menu by using the fingerprint sensor and/or the touchpad located in a predetermined area of the outer surface of the terminal may include at least one of: by using a fingerprint sensor and/or The touchpad moves the cursor displayed on the menu interface to select an operation item; selects an operation item by using a fingerprint sensor and/or a touchpad to change the selected target; and displays the text prompt by using the fingerprint sensor and/or the touchpad The way to select an action item. The following describes the operation item by moving the cursor displayed on the menu interface by using the fingerprint sensor and/or the touchpad: a mouse cursor can be displayed on the terminal screen, and the finger is on the fingerprint sensor and/or the touchpad. The touch movement can be mapped to the movement of the mouse cursor on the terminal screen, and the finger click fingerprint sensor and/or the touch pad can be mapped to the processing of the mouse cursor selection operation item on the terminal screen, wherein when the mouse cursor is in the operation item corresponding to This action item can be selected when it is within range. Similarly, the way to transform the selected target is similar to controlling the mouse cursor. The touch movement of the finger on the fingerprint sensor and/or the touchpad can be mapped to select different operation items, click on the fingerprint sensor and/or touch. The dashboard can be mapped to perform the processing of the selected action item. It is similar to select the operation item and the above two methods in the manner of displaying the text prompt by using the fingerprint sensor and/or the touch panel, and a box for displaying text can be set on the terminal screen, and the box can appear similarly. Text prompts such as “delete image”, “restore deleted image”, “forward image to Sina Weibo”, etc., by touching the finger on the fingerprint sensor and/or the touchpad, the text display in the box can be changed, and the fingerprint is clicked. The sensor and/or trackpad can perform the operations shown in this box.

The above operation is applicable to a case where the screen of the terminal is relatively large and the operation of one hand is inconvenient. Of course, the operation item can be selected by touching the screen of the terminal by a finger and the operation corresponding to the operation item is performed on the application.

For the above problems in the related art, in the embodiment of the present invention, a method and a device for intelligent touch are provided. FIG. 5 is a flowchart 1 of a method for intelligent touch according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5 . As shown, the method includes the following steps:

Step S502, enabling a smart touch operation mode to locate a current application or a current application processing interface;

Step S504, enumerating the currently available operations of the user according to the located application or the application processing interface;

Step S506, the operations are arranged to form a menu display to the user;

In step S508, the user can perform a click operation according to the menu prompt or use the gesture to perform operation control.

The smart operation mode is enabled, which may be: using a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for fingerprint verification, or using a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor without fingerprint verification, and only requiring the user to press the sensor for a few seconds; It may be: a touch input board is added to the rear shell of the mobile terminal, and the user activates the touch panel by a specific gesture or a long press, wherein the touch input office can be part of the rear shell of the terminal, or The entire back shell. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a back shell of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6 , the types of the back shell of the terminal can be classified into three types: A, B, and C. For the terminal type A, only the user is required to be in the mobile terminal. In the case of power on (excluding the black screen of the screen), press the fingerprint sensor with any finger on any interface, you can start the function after fingerprint verification, or you don't need fingerprint verification, you only need to press for more than a certain time, for example , long press 2s.

For terminal types B and C, only the user needs to press the touchpad with one or more fingers for a certain time on the interface when the mobile terminal is powered on (excluding the black screen of the screen), for example, long press 2s; In special cases, considering that the touch input board is easily triggered to start the function, it is started by the corresponding menu setting item; the terminal type C may be not only the type shown in FIG. 6, but also the entire terminal back shell is adopted. The way the touchpad is implemented.

The positioning current application or the current application processing interface may be: for an application or an application interface supporting smart touch, a mouse icon may be displayed on the screen, and the user is prompted to move the mouse and perform corresponding clicks through the touch operation. Drag and other operations, or do not need to display the mouse icon of the prompt, you can prompt the user how to operate through the interface transition visual effects; for applications or application interfaces that do not support smart touch, you can also use simple text prompts.

After the above intelligent operation mode function is enabled, it is first necessary to determine whether the application displayed on the current interface is and uses the function. You can set the item to let the user choose the application that can use the function, or let the system judge from the line.

For commonly used Android applications, in accordance with the requirements of the Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) specification, the input of the MENU button is generally supported to indicate the menu operation that can be performed on the application or the interface. Therefore, for the requirements An application or application interface that supports this function only needs to input the user's input of the function (the fingerprint operation of the terminal type A in the above example, or long press on the fingerprint sensor for 2s, or for the terminal type B or C, The user presses 2s on the touch version to map to the input of the MENU button, so that the application or the menu of the application interface can be conveniently popped up. However, although the menu can be popped up, the location of these pop-up menus is not suitable for the operation when the user is holding the mobile phone alone, and these menus need to be redrawn to satisfy the user's one-handed operation.

The present invention will be described below in the case where the terminal type is A. FIG. 7 is a second flowchart of a smart touch method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the method includes the following steps:

In step S702, it is required to define a finger fingerprint for activating the function when the user is holding the mobile terminal. For example, when the left hand is held, the left index finger fingerprint is defined as a switch for enabling the function, and when the right hand is held, the right index finger fingerprint is defined as a switch for enabling the function. The advantage of this definition is that for terminal type A, the location of the fingerprint sensor is exactly the most appropriate position when the index finger is naturally placed in a single hand-held phone. Of course, other fingers can also be defined as switches that enable this function.

In step S704, the user presses the function on the fingerprint sensor to enable the function. Among them, as before, the user can choose to directly press the fingerprint to verify the mode to enable this function or long press for more than a certain time to start this function.

In step S706, the fingerprint sensor determines whether the user presses the index finger fingerprint in the previous step or is only another way to activate the function. If yes, step S708 is performed, otherwise step S710 is performed.

In step S708, the menu content of the system MENU button is redrawed, and the redrawn menu is re-combined according to whether the index finger pressed by the user is the left index finger or the right index finger, and the left hand thumb is conveniently displayed in the left hand. Operate the lower left corner of the screen, or the right hand thumb held by the right hand is convenient for the lower right corner of the screen.

In special cases, it is not necessary to completely follow the menu contents when the MENU button is enabled to perform a complete redraw. It is only necessary to select some of the menu contents commonly used by the user to redraw according to the application scene. The advantage of this is that it can reduce the number of buttons that are not commonly used, resulting in the need to redraw the content on the interface too much to affect the user experience.

In step S710, the activation of the function is directly mapped to the system MENU menu, and the MENU menu is drawn by the system operation.

In step S712, the user performs selection confirmation of the menu through the fingerprint sensor according to the menu drawn on the interface, or performs a menu selection operation by a touch input operation on the terminal screen.

The selection confirmation of the menu by the fingerprint sensor is further explained as: the focus of the drawn menu can be formed by the simple gesture function of the fingerprint sensor (for example, sliding from the top to the bottom on the fingerprint sensor, after the fingerprint sensor is detected, the menu is The focus stays on an item in the menu of the interface, such as the first item, the middle item, or the last item. Then, by sliding on the fingerprint sensor, the focus of the menu is moved up and down, left and right, and finally passed. The way the fingerprint sensor is pressed to enable the specific function of the menu;

The touch input operation on the terminal screen is further illustrated as: the selection of the user's finger on the touch screen when the terminal is held by the single hand. In general, the user can conveniently operate within the range of the left thumb when holding the left hand, or conveniently within the range of the right thumb when holding the right hand;

The present invention will be described below in the case where the terminal type is B or C. FIG. 8 is a third flowchart of a smart touch method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8 , the method includes the following steps:

Step S802, the user can define a setting menu that enables the function, and then enable the function when the setting menu is enabled;

For convenient operation, the user can also perform this function by pressing on the touchpad for a certain period of time, for example, after 2 seconds.

In particular, for the terminal type C, since the entire rear case is a touch panel, the probability of erroneous operation is large, and it is not recommended to enable the switch by pressing on the touch panel. Alternatively, an area is designated, for example, an area where the touch panel like the terminal type B is located as an area for pressing the start operation.

Step S804, drawing an input cursor cue point at any point on the terminal screen;

The cue point may be a mouse display cursor similar to a PC computer screen; or a blinking light spot or the like; the initial display may be at a center position of the screen.

Step S806, the user clicks, slides, gestures, etc. on the touch version are automatically mapped to click, slide, gesture, etc. performed on the corresponding cursor cue point on the terminal screen;

If the long-press operation of the user on the touch version can be resolved to the MENU operation of the system, the menu of the current screen display application or the current interface of the application should be popped up.

Step S808, the terminal performs an operation on the screen corresponding to the operation of the user on the touch panel, for example, mapping the operation on the touch panel to the operation of the system MENU menu, and the MENU menu is drawn by the system operation.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a smart touch device is further provided, and the device may include the following basic modules: a setting module, configured to set an application or a scene in which the user needs smart touch; and a detecting module, configured to Detecting whether the user activates the smart touch mode; the display module is configured to display a smart touch prompt or a corresponding menu; the control module (the same as the processing module 44 described above) is configured to control the touch input or the gesture operation of the user, and execute Corresponding function; the storage module is set to store the application or scene of the smart touch defined by the user.
