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.

In this embodiment, a method for switching an object selected by a cursor is provided. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for switching an object selected by a cursor according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the process includes the following steps:

Step S102, the terminal detects a pressure characteristic of the received input operation;

Step S104: If the pressure feature satisfies the predetermined condition, the terminal switches the object selected by the cursor in the page currently displayed by the terminal to the next object.

Through the above steps, when the switching of the object selected by the cursor is required, an input operation in which the pressure characteristic satisfies a predetermined condition can be performed on the terminal, for example, an input operation in which the pressing pressure value is greater than the preset pressure value is performed, or a pressing time is performed. An input operation greater than a preset duration value, or an input operation of performing a predetermined number of press points, or an input operation of any combination of the foregoing input operations; according to a preset setting, the terminal may execute a corresponding cursor according to the input operation The switching operation of the selected object. In this way, even if the object to be selected by the cursor is not displayed in the visible area, the object selected by the cursor can be switched by the input operation, thereby solving the problem that the object selected by the cursor is not in the visible area. The user's poor operating experience improves the user's experience and operational efficiency.

The above objects may be input boxes, or other options that the cursor can focus or lock, such as check boxes, program icons, and the like.

In addition, the foregoing step S104 may be performed cyclically. For example, a time interval threshold may be set, and each time step S104 is performed, a timer whose timing value is the threshold value is turned on, and after the timer expires, the execution is continued once. Step S104, until the pressure characteristic value does not satisfy the predetermined condition. In this way, continuous switching of the object selected by the cursor can be realized, and the continuity of the user operation is improved. The time interval threshold can be set to 500 milliseconds, or other values, which are not limited herein.

In the above steps, by detecting the pressure characteristics, the "tab" on the computer keyboard is realized. A similar function of the key is to switch the object selected by the cursor to the next object. Since there is no terminal for the full keyboard at present, especially the portable terminal is increasingly miniaturized and simplified, therefore, a special design is designed in the portable terminal. The tab key does not conform to the design direction of the current portable terminal. In the embodiment of the present invention, the sensor having the pressure detecting function (for example, a pressure sensor and a pressure touch screen) can be used to implement the "tab key" function without adding a new one. The buttons save the cost of hardware design.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the implementation of the tab key is described by taking any combination of the pressure characteristic, the pressing pressure value, the pressing duration, and the pressing point as an example, but the embodiment of the present invention It is not limited to the combination of the above pressure characteristics. That is, the pressure characteristics described above are not limited to the pressing pressure value, the pressing time, the number of pressing points, or other characteristics of the input operation, for example, the size of the pressing point, the order of pressing the predetermined plurality of pressing points, and the like. .

When the terminal detects the pressure feature, the terminal can directly utilize the pressure screen of the terminal (for example, a pressure touch screen); or the terminal detects the pressure feature by using a pressure sensor disposed on the physical button.

The physical button referred to in the embodiment of the present invention has the following characteristics with respect to the virtual button: the position of the physical button is relatively fixed, and the function of the physical button is relatively fixed; the physical button is not generated due to a change of the display interface or disappear. For example, the mechanical power button in the related art, the function button for returning to the previous page on the portable terminal, and the function button for returning to the home page are all referred to as physical buttons in the embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, the physical button in the embodiment of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, one of the following: a main menu function key provided with a pressure sensor on the surface of the button, a function key for returning the previous page provided with a pressure sensor on the surface of the button, and a surface of the button is provided The pressure sensor returns to the home function key.

The virtual button referred to in the embodiment of the present invention refers to a touch display area displayed and virtualized by the touch display screen, and the touch display area is assigned a button, which is defined when the touch display area is pressed. For one key operation. For example, the buttons on the input method interface displayed on the touch display are all virtual buttons.

Alternatively, when detecting a pressure characteristic of a touch to the touch sensor, the terminal may detect the input received in a predetermined area of the pressure screen of the terminal according to a difference in a position at which the input operation is performed. Entering the pressure characteristic of the operation; or, the terminal detects the pressure characteristic of the input operation received by the pressure sensor on the physical button of the terminal; or the pressure characteristic received by the pressure sensor corresponding to the virtual button displayed on the display screen of the terminal detecting terminal . For the terminal, it is possible to have both a pressure screen, a physical button provided with a pressure sensor, and a virtual button corresponding to the pressure sensor, or only one or both of them.

When there are multiple objects that can be selected by the cursor, the next object can be randomly selected or selected in a predetermined order. In the case that there are other objects below the object selected by the cursor, the terminal determines that the next object is the first object in the top-to-bottom order of other objects below the object selected by the cursor; there is no other object below the object selected by the cursor The object, in the case where there are other objects above the object selected by the cursor, the terminal determines that the next object is the first object in the top-to-bottom order among the other objects above the object selected by the cursor.

Taking the object as an input box as an example, in the case that there is another input box below the input box selected by the cursor in the currently displayed page, it can be determined that the next input box is the first input box below the input box selected by the cursor. In the currently displayed page, there is no other input box below the input box selected by the cursor, and if there are other input boxes above the input box selected by the cursor, it can be determined that the next input box is in the currently displayed page. The first input box above the input box selected by the cursor. In this way, it is possible to achieve a one-to-one cursor selection switching between a plurality of input boxes in a top-to-bottom order.

It should be noted that the above sequence is merely an exemplary description, and the switching sequence in the implementation process may be converted into other sequences.

The currently displayed page of the terminal includes a visible area currently presented on the terminal display screen, and a non-visible area that cannot be presented on the same screen due to limited display area of the terminal, or is used by other interfaces (eg, input method interface, other window interface, etc.) Blocking the non-visible area that is currently not rendered. When you switch objects, the next object may not be in the visible area. In order to provide a better user experience, optionally, after switching to the next object, the terminal can determine whether the next object is in the visible area on the terminal display screen; when it is determined that the next object is not in the visible area In the case of scrolling the page, zooming in/out of the page, the next object can be adjusted into the visible area, and the appropriate size can be displayed in the central area of the visible area. area.

Force, when the predetermined threshold is reached, then switch to the nearest next input box, and the input box can be moved to the appropriate position above the input method by adjusting the page, which can realize one-step fast switching, simplify user operation, and improve user experience.

For example, when the user inputs pressure to apply pressure to the pressure screen, the pressure screen uploads the captured pressure data to the currently open multi-entry box application. The application of the multi-input box determines if the captured pressure exceeds a threshold. If the pressure exceeds the threshold, the function of automatically switching the input box is turned on. Then, it is determined whether there are other input boxes besides the current input box, and if so, whether to judge whether there are other input boxes below the current input box, and if so, switch to the next input box, if there is no other input box below, but there is , then switch to the top input box, and then calculate the position of the input box, then adjust the page to present the input box at the appropriate position above the input method to achieve fast switching of the input box.

The application of the multi-input box determines if the captured pressure exceeds a threshold. If the pressure exceeds the threshold, the application of the multi-input box moves the cursor to the next input box. Then continue to determine whether the next input box is not in the visible area. If the next input box is not in the visible area, if it is blocked by the input method, move the next input box to the visible area.

It should be noted that, in the above example, only the Back key is taken as an example, and the above examples can also be conceived in combination with other physical keys, such as a Home key (ie, returning to the home function key).

For another example, when the user inputs, pressure is applied to the virtual button, the pressure on the virtual button is monitored, and the captured pressure data is uploaded to the currently open multi-entry box application. The application of the multi-input box determines if the captured pressure exceeds a threshold. If the pressure exceeds the threshold, the application of the multi-input box moves the cursor to the next input box. Then continue to determine whether the next input box is not in the visible area. If the next input box is not in the visible area, if it is blocked by the input method, move the next input box to the visible area.

The virtual button may be any one of the input method keyboards displayed on the touch display screen.

The following three application scenarios of the above examples are described and illustrated in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

This embodiment provides a flow chart of the fast switching of the input area of the mobile phone based on the pressure screen, that is, the function of realizing the tab key of the computer. Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of the embodiment, and the process includes the following steps:

Step S501: The mobile phone switches to the input interface to prepare for input;

Step S502: Click the input box to pop up the input method and start inputting;

Step S503: determining whether the input ends;

Step S504: If the input is continued, it is determined whether the pressure received by the pressure screen reaches a predetermined threshold;

Step S505: If the pressure reaches a predetermined threshold, continue to determine whether there is another input box in the current input interface except the current input box;

Step S506: determining whether there are other input boxes below the current input box;

Step S507: If there are other input boxes below the current input box, the focus is moved to the input box closest to the current input box for input;

Step S508: If there is no other input box below the current input box, it is determined whether there are other input boxes above;

Step S509: If there are other input boxes above the current input box, move the focus to the uppermost input box for input;

Step S510: Move the input box to an appropriate position above the input method, and return to step S503;

Step S511: The input ends, and the flow ends.

In this embodiment, the Back key is taken as an example to illustrate how to implement the movement of the multi-input box by the pressure data on the physical button, that is, the function of the computer tab key.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart of implementing a shortcut movement of an input box by using a solution provided by an alternative embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the process includes the following steps:

In step S601, the pressure sensor on the Back button detects whether there is a press in real time, and uploads the captured pressure data to the currently open multi-input box application.

In step S602, the application of the multi-input box determines whether the captured pressure exceeds a threshold, and if not, returns to step S601.

In step S603, if the pressure exceeds the threshold, the application of the multi-input box moves the cursor to the next input box.

Step S604, determining whether the next input box is not in the visible area;

In step S605, if the next input box is not in the visible area, if the input method is blocked, the next input box is moved to the visible area.
