detailed description

The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal may be a wireless terminal or a wired terminal, and may be, for example, a mobile phone, a computer, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (abbreviation: PDA), or a mobile internet device (English: mobile Internet device, abbreviation: MID), wearable device and e-book reader (English: e-book reader).

At present, when the terminal displays a user interface, only one user interface in one level is displayed at a time, so that when the user switches between user interfaces of different levels, only one user interface can be advanced or retracted at a time, and The user interface can only be switched in order according to the operation flow. For example, an operation flow is as follows: setting the home page to enter the list interface, the list interface enters the search interface, and the search interface enters the session interface; when in the session interface, if it wants to return to the set home page, it needs to be returned step by step, that is, by the session. The interface returns to the search interface, and the search interface returns to the list interface, and then returns to the settings home page from the list interface. This switching method is cumbersome and has poor human-computer interaction.

In order to solve the above problem, the embodiment of the present application provides a user interface display method, which is described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1 , a schematic flowchart of a user interface display method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown.

As shown in FIG. 1, the method specifically includes the following steps:

Step 101: The terminal displays a first user interface, where the first user interface includes a first setting item.

Step 102: After the terminal detects that the first setting item is triggered by the first gesture operation, the terminal acquires a second user interface associated with the first setting item.

Step 103: The terminal superimposes and displays the first user interface and the second user interface in a hierarchical order, wherein the second user interface partially covers the first user interface.

In step 101, the first user interface may be a user interface with the highest level of hierarchy, that is, a home page may be set, or may be a user interface of any level. The first user interface displayed by the terminal may include a plurality of setting items, and each setting item may correspond to different setting contents. Each setting item can be associated with a setting item identifier, which can make the user distinguish between different setting items and determine the setting content corresponding to each setting item. The setting item identifier can be text and/or icon.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a display of a user interface provided by an embodiment of the present application is illustrated. Figure. In FIG. 2, the user interface displayed by the terminal may be a first user interface, including multiple setting items, such as information, time, call history, WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), etc., setting of each setting item. The item ID consists of text and icons.

In the embodiment of the present application, the user interface in the terminal may include three types of setting items, and one is a setting item associated with the user interface. When the setting item of the type is triggered by a gesture operation, the terminal acquires the type. The setting item corresponds to the user interface and displays the obtained user interface. One is a switch setting item, and the setting item of this type is a switch button. A pop-up window setting item, the setting item of the type corresponds to a pop-up window. When the setting item of the type is triggered by the gesture operation, a pop-up window corresponding to the setting item of the type is popped up in the screen.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first setting item in the first user interface is a setting item associated with the second user interface. There may also be a setting item in the first user interface that is not associated with the user interface, such as a switch setting item. Referring to FIG. 2, the “flight mode” in FIG. 2 is a switch setting item, and the user can turn on or off the flight mode of the terminal by operating a button corresponding to the flight mode.

In step 102, the first gesture operation may be performed on the screen area corresponding to the first setting item according to the preset direction.

For example, the preset direction is from left to right. Of course, the above is only an example, and the preset direction may also be other directions. For example, the preset direction may also be a right-to-left direction, which will not be repeated here.

After the user slides on the screen area corresponding to the first setting item according to the preset direction, the terminal may identify the operation of the user, and after determining that the user performs the first gesture operation, perform an operation corresponding to the first gesture operation. An instruction to acquire a second user interface associated with the first setting item. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the correspondence between the gesture operation and the operation instruction of the terminal may be stored in the terminal in advance, and after detecting the gesture operation, the terminal may determine an operation instruction corresponding to the detected gesture operation, and Execute the execution operation instruction.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the gesture operation includes, but is not limited to, operations such as clicking, sliding, feeling, and suspension.

Finally, in step 103, the terminal displays the acquired second user interface. In order to be able to display the hierarchical relationship between the first user interface and the second user interface, in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal displays the second user interface, the second user interface is not displayed in full screen, but is superimposed in a hierarchical order. The first user interface and the second user interface. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal may divide the area displaying the first user interface into the first area and the second area; then the terminal keeps the interface displayed in the first area unchanged, and The second user interface is displayed in the second area.

Optionally, the first area and the second area are both rectangular, and the first area is located on the left side and the second area is located on the right side. Wherein, the first area may be smaller than the second area.

Of course, the above is only an example, and the size, the positional relationship, and the shape of the first area and the second area may be determined according to actual conditions, and details are not described herein again.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a schematic diagram of a user interface display provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. In Figure 2, the first user interface is displayed full screen. In FIG. 3, the first user interface is 301 and the second user interface is 302. The first user interface 301 and the second user interface 302 are superimposed in a hierarchical order, wherein the second user interface 302 is displayed on the first user interface 301.

Through the above method, the second user interface after the overlay display is overlaid on the first user interface, but does not completely cover the first user interface, and the relationship between the first user interface and the second user interface can be clearly determined.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal may further perform a full screen display on the user interface associated with the setting item by using the second gesture operation.

For example, the second user interface further includes a second setting item; after the terminal superimposes the displaying the first user interface and the second user interface, the terminal detects that the user triggers the operation by using the second gesture Determining the second setting item, acquiring a third user interface associated with the second setting item; then the terminal displaying the third user interface in full screen.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a schematic diagram of a user interface display provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. In FIG. 3, the “configuration network” in the second user interface 302 is a second setting item. When the user triggers the second setting item by using the second gesture operation, the terminal may close the second setting item. The connected third user interface is displayed in full screen, that is, displayed in the manner shown in FIG.

With reference to the above description, if the terminal detects that the user triggers the first setting item by the second gesture operation in step 102, the second user interface is acquired and the second user interface is displayed in full screen.

In the embodiment of the present application, after detecting that the user triggers the first gesture operation in the setting item in the first user interface, the terminal may superimpose and display the user interface of each level after the first user interface in a hierarchical order.

Specifically, after detecting that the user triggers a target setting item by using the first gesture operation, the terminal may first determine whether the user interface associated with the target setting item and each level after the user interface associated with the target setting item include only one user interface. If yes, the user interface associated with the target setting item and the user interface in each level after the user interface associated with the target setting item may be obtained, and all the obtained user interfaces are superimposed and displayed in a hierarchical order.

With reference to the above description, after detecting that the user triggers the first setting item by the first gesture operation, if it is determined that the second user interface includes at least two user interfaces, the first user interface and the first user interface are superimposed and displayed in a hierarchical order. Two user interfaces; if it is determined that the second user interface and the N levels of user interfaces after the second user interface, each of the levels includes only one user interface, acquiring the second user interface and the N levels a user interface, and superimposing the first user interface, the second user interface, and the N levels of user interfaces in a hierarchical order, wherein each user interface portion is overlaid on a user interface of a previous level thereof, wherein the level The lowest level user interface is displayed at the top, and the user interface with the highest level is displayed at the bottom, N is greater than or equal to 0.

For example, in conjunction with FIG. 2, the first user interface displayed in the terminal is as shown in FIG. 2. In Fig. 2, "general" is the first setting item. The user interface of the "generic" association includes only one setting item: accessibility. The user interface associated with Accessibility includes only one setting item: font size. The user interface associated with Font Size is the last level and has only one user interface. After the user triggers the first setting item by the first gesture operation, the terminal determines that the user interface associated with the “auxiliary function” and the user interface associated with the “auxiliary function” have only one user interface in each level, and then obtain “auxiliary” "User interface of the function" and the user interface associated with the "Accessibility" The user interface in each subsequent level is superimposed and displayed in hierarchical order. The method of superimposing the display can refer to the previous description and will not be described here.

With reference to the above description and FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. 5, a schematic diagram of a user interface display provided by an embodiment of the present application is provided. In FIG. 5, the first user interface is 501, and "general" is the first setting item. The second user interface of the "generic" association is 502. The second user interface 502 includes only one setting item: an auxiliary function. The user interface associated with Accessibility is 503 and includes only one setting item: font size. The user interface associated with Font Size is 504. After the user triggers the first setting item by the first gesture operation, the

user interfaces

502, 503, and 504 are simultaneously acquired, and the

user interfaces

501, 502, 503, and 504 are superimposed and displayed in a hierarchical order.

Finally, in the embodiment of the present application, the user may also trigger the terminal to return to the user interface of any level before the user interface currently displayed at the top by the third gesture operation. The third gesture operation may be a click operation. Of course, the third gesture operation can also be other types of operations, which will not be repeated here.

For example, after superimposing the first user interface, the second user interface, and the N levels of user interfaces, the terminal receives a third gesture operation input by the user on the fourth user interface; Returning to the interface displaying the fourth user interface in hierarchical order. The fourth user interface is any user interface before the user interface of the last level of the N levels of user interfaces.

For example, after the terminal displays the first user interface and the second user interface in a superimposed manner, if the terminal detects a third gesture operation input by the user in the fifth user interface, the terminal returns to display in the hierarchical order. An interface of the fifth user interface, wherein the fifth user interface is any one of the user interfaces before the second user interface.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a user interface display according to an embodiment of the present application. After the user inputs the third gesture operation in the second user interface 502, the terminal returns to the interface displaying the second user interface in a hierarchical order, that is, the interface as shown in FIG. 6.

Through the above method, the terminal can quickly return to any level of the user interface, thereby reducing the complexity of human-computer interaction and improving the user experience.
