The difficulty of working with the app icon. The method and the terminal device are based on the same inventive concept, and the principles for solving the problem are similar. Therefore, the implementation of the method and the device can be referred to each other, and the repeated description is not repeated.

In the embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone 100 is taken as an example for description, but the embodiment of the present application is not limited to be applied to other types of terminal devices. Referring to FIG. 2, the specific process of the method for displaying an application icon may include:

S101: The mobile phone 100 determines that the first instruction is received, where the first instruction is used to instruct the mobile phone 100 to display the enlarged application icon in the one-hand operation display area;

S102: The mobile phone 100 displays an application icon having a first size in a one-hand operation display area, wherein the first size is greater than the second size, and the second size is when the mobile phone 100 does not receive the first instruction, in response to the first instruction. One-handed operation displays the size of the application icon displayed in the display area.

According to the above steps S101 to S102, the mobile phone 100 can display the application icon having the first size in the one-hand operation mode, and the application icon is displayed in the one-hand operation mode of the mobile phone 100 because the first size is larger than when the first instruction is not received. The second size of the time, thereby magnifying the display size of the application icon displayed in the one-hand operation mode, which is convenient for finding the application icon and making it easier for the user to operate the application icon, thereby avoiding the accidental touch during the operation of the application icon .

It should be noted that the application icon described in the embodiment of the present application should not be limited to the icon of the application displayed in the terminal device, and should also include an icon for clicking or other touch operation displayed on the display screen of the terminal device, for example, , the clock icon displayed on the display, the virtual button icon, the receiving message icon, the event reminder icon, and so on. In an implementation, an application icon that needs to be enlarged after receiving the first instruction is preset, for example, according to the type of the application icon, which application icons need to be enlarged after receiving the first instruction, without Which application icons are enlarged.

For example, if the mobile phone is currently displaying the application icon 102 of the second size in the one-hand operation display area 101 as shown in FIG. 1A, the mobile phone receives the display in the display area for indicating the one-hand operation of the mobile phone. After the first instruction of the icon is applied, part or all of the application icons displayed in the one-hand operation display area 101 may be enlarged in response to the first instruction, thereby being displayed in the one-hand operation display area 301 as shown in FIG. An application icon 302 having a first size, wherein the first size is greater than the second size. Since the size of the application icon displayed in the display area of the one-hand operation can be enlarged, the user is more convenient to click on the enlarged application icon, thereby reducing the chance of the user touching the application icon.

Optionally, the first size of the enlarged application icon may be separately set for the application icon of each application, and the first size of any two application icons may be different, so that the first size may be displayed according to the set size in S102. Application icon.

The preset display size when the display is performed, or the second size of the application icon may be the display size of the application icon when the one-hand operation mode is previously exited, and on the basis of the second size, enter the one-hand operation mode. After that, the mobile phone can enlarge the display size of the application icon in the one-hand operation display area to display the application icon of the first size.

Optionally, the display position of the application icon having the first size in the one-hand operation display area may be determined by any one of the following manners:

Method 1: When the application icon of the second size is displayed, the center of the display area where the application icon is located coincides with the center of the display area when the application icon of the first size is displayed.

In the second method, when the application icon of the second size is displayed, the display position of any geometric position in the icon geometry (such as the top left vertex of the rectangular application icon) is applied, and the application icon of the first size of the same shape is displayed. The display position of the same geometric position of the application icon (the top left corner of the application icon) coincides.

In a possible implementation manner, after receiving the first instruction and displaying the enlarged application icon in the one-hand operation display area, the mobile phone may also display the application icon displayed in the canceled one-hand operation display area. After the instruction, the application icon of the first size is stopped in the one-hand operation display area, and the application icon having the second size is restored in the one-hand operation display area. The instruction to cancel the enlargement of the application icon displayed in the one-hand operation display area may be the same instruction as the first instruction, for example, the mobile phone receives a trigger operation on the virtual key corresponding to the first instruction (for example, virtual After the long press operation of the button, the display size of the application icon in the one-hand operation display area is enlarged (ie, the first size large application icon is displayed in the one-hand operation display area), and the mobile phone can receive the virtual button again. After the triggering operation, the display size of the application icon in the one-hand operation display area is restored (ie, the small size application icon of the second size is restored in the one-hand operation display area).

Optionally, in an implementation manner, as shown in FIG. 4, after receiving the first instruction, the mobile phone further needs to operate the third size and the application icon 403 of the display area 401 according to the one-hand operation in the display screen 400. After the enlargement has the first size, when any or all of the applied application icons 403 are displayed in the one-hand operation display area 401, any two application icons in all applications (the application icons herein include the first size application) The spacing between the icon and the second size application icon) is not less than the preset spacing threshold, after which the first size application icon 403 is displayed in the one-hand operation display area 401 to avoid the enlarged application icon and phase. The spacing between adjacent application icons is too narrow or there is an overlap between application icons. Wherein, if the mobile phone still needs to display other application icons 402 in the one-hand operation display area 401 according to the second size, it is necessary to consider the display size of the other application icons 402 when determining the spacing between the application icons.

The third size of the one-hand operation display area may be the current actual display size of the area. If the first instruction is an instruction to enter the one-hand operation mode, that is, the one-hand operation display area is not actually displayed before, the preset order may be The display size of the hand operation display area is taken as the third size, or there is no. In addition, if the first command is an instruction to enter the one-hand operation mode, the third size may also be the display size of the display area of the one-hand operation before the phone first exits the one-hand operation mode.

In addition, if the mobile phone determines that the application icon of the first size of the partial or full application is displayed in the one-hand operation display area 401, any two application icons (for example, the application icon 403 of the first size and the application icon 402 of the second size) The minimum spacing between the two is less than the preset spacing threshold, and the mobile phone may change the display size of the first size application icon displayed in the one-hand operation display area 401 to the fourth size, wherein the fourth size may be greater than the application icon. The second size is smaller than the first size. In addition, the mobile phone can also determine that the page size is too small through the display screen after determining that the minimum spacing between any two application icons is less than the preset spacing threshold, and cannot continue to enlarge the icon and other prompt information.

The following is an example of the instruction for entering the one-hand mode issued by the user in the first instruction, which illustrates an implementation process of displaying the application icon of the first size in the one-hand operation display area in the embodiment of the present application:

Embodiment 1

The display position of the area. Wherein, the location of the other transit point between the start point and the end point of the first touch operation and the location of the end point may not be within the range of the set area.

In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1B, after detecting the first touch operation occurring on the display screen 110, the sensor 150 can also determine the movement track of the first touch operation on the display screen 110, and the sensor 150 can The touch signal corresponding to the determined movement track is sent to the processor 120, and the processor 120 determines the moving direction and the moving distance of the first touch operation according to the touch signal.

In a possible implementation manner, the processor 120 may determine a start position and an end position in a movement trajectory of the first touch operation according to the touch signal, and determine a movement of the first touch operation according to a positional relationship between the start position and the end position. The direction, and/or, determines the moving distance of the first touch operation based on the distance between the starting position and the ending position.

In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1B, after determining the moving direction and the moving distance of the first touch operation, the processor 120 moves the one-hand operation display area in the display 110 according to the moving direction and the moving distance of the first touch operation. The display position is such that the moved one-hand operation display area is displayed in the target area display. According to the above method, the display position of the one-hand operation display area can be moved, so that the position of the one-hand operation display area can be easily changed in the one-hand operation mode.

In the implementation, the above method can be used to move the display area with one hand, so that there is a certain distance (for example, a distance of one centimeter) between the one-hand operation display area and any one frame of the mobile phone display screen, thereby preventing the user from accidentally touching the display screen. The border causes the phone to respond to the user's false touch.

In a possible implementation manner, the processor 120 may move the one-hand operation display area by the moving direction and the moving distance of the first touch operation, so that the reference point in the display area is operated by one hand before moving (such as in the one-hand operation display area) The position relationship between the center or a certain apex angle and the position of the reference point in the one-hand operation display area after the movement is consistent with the positional relationship between the start point and the end point of the first touch operation, and should be noted The positional relationship here is consistent, including the same orientation relationship (for example, the acute angle between the line connecting the reference point before moving and the reference point after moving and the horizontal direction is equal to the line connecting the start point and the end point of the first touch operation. The acute angle between the horizontal direction and the distance is the same (ie, the distance between the reference point before the movement and the reference point after the movement is equal to the distance between the start point and the end point of the first touch operation). In addition, in another possible implementation manner, the processor 120 may also operate the moving direction of the display area with one hand in the reverse direction of the moving direction of the first touch operation; the processor 120 may also use the first touch of N times. The moving distance of the operation is the moving distance of the one-hand operation display area to move the one-hand operation display area, where N>1, or 0<N<1.

Optionally, in a feasible implementation manner, the first touch operation in the embodiment of the present application may be an ongoing touch operation, for example, the user touches and slides on the display screen by the finger, and the user's finger leaves. Before the display screen, the mobile phone can detect a plurality of first touch operations that are not used at the starting point at different times, and determine a plurality of moving directions and moving distances according to the plurality of first touch operations, and the mobile phone can be based on the continuous operation of the user's touch operation. These determined moving directions and moving distances continuously move the one-hand operation display area, thereby realizing the dynamic change of the display position of the one-hand operation display area in the display screen according to the motion track of the user's touch operation.

In addition, the first touch operation in the embodiment of the present application may also be a touch operation that has ended. For example, the processor of the mobile phone determines that the first touch operation ends according to the touch signal sent by the sensor (eg, determines to perform the first touch). After the operated user stops contacting with the display screen, the one-hand operation display area is controlled to move according to the moving direction and the moving distance of the first touch operation detected by the sensor, thereby achieving the user's touch operation on the display screen. The one-hand operation display area is not moved, but the one-hand operation display area is moved to the corresponding target area by one-time operation after the end of the touch operation, thereby saving the mobile phone memory resource occupation.

The second instruction may be a click, double click, or long press operation performed by the user at the first virtual button 702, such as a text and/or an "arrow". After the first virtual button 702 is activated by clicking, double-clicking, or long-pressing, the mobile phone can prompt the user that the current mobile phone has been received by lighting or changing the display color of the first virtual button 702 and the characters and patterns therein. To the second instruction, the display position of the display area can be changed by one-hand operation; in addition, the mobile phone can also prompt the user that the current mobile phone has received by lighting or changing the display color of the outer border of the display area of the one-hand operation. The second command can change the display position of the one-hand operation display area.

In an implementation, the second instruction may be the same instruction as the first instruction. For example, both the first instruction and the second instruction are long-press operations in the set area, and the mobile phone detects the long-press operation of the set area. The application icon in the one-hand operation display area is displayed as an application icon having the first size. After that, the mobile phone can move the one-hand operation display area to the target area for display after detecting the first touch operation.

In the embodiment of the present application, if the user sets the one-hand operation mode, the mobile phone needs to display an application icon (hereinafter referred to as an original icon) 102 corresponding to the application in the one-hand operation display area 101 as shown in FIG. 1A, or The mobile phone is currently displaying the original icon 102 of the application in the one-hand operation display area 101 as shown in FIG. 1A, and the mobile phone receives the third instruction for instructing the mobile phone to change the application icon corresponding to the application displayed in the one-hand operation display area. In response to the third instruction, the application icon of some or all of the applications in the one-hand operation display area 101 is replaced with the target icon corresponding to the application (hereinafter referred to as a new icon), thereby being one-handed as shown in FIG. A new icon 802 corresponding to the application is displayed in the operation display area 801, wherein the new icon corresponding to the same application is different from the original icon, for example, the display size, pattern or color of the new icon and the original icon are different. The corresponding relationship between the application and the new icon may be preset, and after receiving the third instruction, the mobile phone determines, according to the correspondence, a new icon that the application needs to display. With the above method, the style of the application icon displayed in the one-hand operation display area can be changed, and the original icon corresponding to each application is no longer necessary to be displayed.

In a possible implementation, the third instruction may be a long press operation occurring in a set area, a click operation at an arbitrary position in the set area, a double tap operation, or a combination between the above operations, or the like. In addition, the instruction to put the mobile phone into the one-hand operation mode can also be used as the third instruction, and when entering the one-hand mode, the mobile phone displays the new icon corresponding to the application in the one-hand operation display area.

In addition, in the implementation, the third instruction may be the same as the first instruction. For example, the first instruction and the third instruction are long-press operations in the setting area, and the mobile phone detects the long-press operation of the set area. Some or all of the application icons in the one-hand operation display area are displayed as application icons having the first size, and some or all of the application icons are displayed as corresponding new icons; the third instruction may also be the same as the second instruction, for example, The three commands and the second command are long press operations in the setting area, and after detecting the long press operation of the setting area, the mobile phone displays the application icon in the one-hand operation display area as a new icon corresponding to the application icon. Thereafter, the mobile phone can move the one-hand operation display area to the target area for display after detecting the first touch operation.

In one embodiment, the application's new icon can be set to be more eye-catching than the original icon, for example, setting the background color of the new icon to a more conspicuous color such as red to reduce the user's one-hand operation. The difficulty of finding the application icon corresponding to the application in the display area, or the display size of the new icon may be larger than the display size of the original icon, and the new icon may have a different pattern from the original icon to reduce the user's search for the application icon corresponding to the application. Difficulty and reduce the chance of user misunderstanding.

The display position of the new icon of the application in the one-hand operation display area can be determined by any of the following methods:

Method 1: When a new icon is displayed in the one-hand operation display area, the center of the display area where the new icon is located coincides with the center of the icon display area when the original icon is displayed.

Method 2: When a new icon is displayed in the one-hand operation display area, the display position of any geometric position (such as the top left vertex of the rectangular original icon) of the new icon has the same position as the original icon of the same shape. The display position of the same geometric position of the original icon (the upper left corner of the original icon) coincides.

In a possible implementation manner, after receiving the third instruction and displaying the new icon of the application in the one-hand operation display area, the mobile phone may also display the operation in one hand after receiving the instruction to cancel the display of the new icon. The original icon of the application is restored in the area. The instruction for canceling the display of the new icon may be the same instruction as the third instruction. For example, after receiving the trigger operation of the virtual button corresponding to the third instruction, the mobile phone displays the new icon of the application in the one-hand operation display area. After that, after the trigger operation on the virtual button is received again, the original icon of the display application can be restored in the one-hand operation display area.

In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, after receiving the third instruction, the mobile phone further needs to determine the third size of the display area 901 and the size of the applied new icon 903 according to the one-hand operation, and determine the one-handedness. When the new icon 903 of the partial or full application is displayed in the operation display area 901, the interval between the application icons of any two applications in the application (the application icon here includes the new icon and the original icon) is not less than the preset spacing threshold. Thereafter, the new icon 903 of the application is displayed in the one-hand operation display area 901 to prevent the spacing between the new icon 902 and the adjacent application icon from being too narrow or the icon overlapping. Wherein, if the mobile phone still needs to display the original icon 902 of the other application in the one-hand operation display area 901, it is also necessary to consider the size of the original icon 902 of the other application when determining the spacing between the application icons.

In addition, if the mobile phone determines that a new icon of some or all applications is displayed in the one-hand operation display area 901, the minimum spacing between the application icons of any two applications is less than the preset spacing threshold, then the mobile phone can be operated in one hand The display size of the new icon displayed in the display area is changed to the fifth size, wherein the fifth size may be larger than the size of the original icon of the application and smaller than the size of the new icon of the application. In addition, after determining that the minimum spacing between the icons of the application is less than the preset spacing threshold, the mobile phone may prompt the user that the page size is too small, and the prompt information such as the new icon cannot be displayed.

The following is an example of a method for entering a one-hand mode issued by a user in a third instruction, which illustrates an implementation process of displaying a new icon of an application in a one-hand operation display area in the embodiment of the present application:

Optionally, in an implementation, the setting area 1201 may be a display area other than the one-hand operation display area 1203 in the display screen 1200, so that the normal touch operation of the one-hand operation display area 1203 does not cause one-hand operation. The reduction or enlargement of the display area 1203.

Specifically, the mobile phone may determine, according to the moving direction of the second touch operation, that the one-hand operation display area needs to be enlarged or reduced, and determine the size or proportion of the one-hand operation display area to be enlarged or reduced according to the moving distance of the second touch operation. Among them, it is possible to perform enlargement processing or reduction processing on the one-hand operation display area (including the one-hand operation display area itself and the display content in the one-hand operation display area) while maintaining the aspect ratio.

In one mode, the determining manner of the moving direction of the second touch operation may refer to the determining manner of the moving direction of the first touch operation, and the determining manner of the moving distance of the second touch operation may refer to the moving distance of the first touch operation. The method of determination is not described here.

In a possible implementation manner, after detecting the second instruction, the mobile phone may determine that the one-hand operation display area needs to be moved according to the first touch operation, and after detecting the fifth instruction, determine that the second touch is required according to the second touch The operation performs a reduction process or an enlargement process on the one-hand operation display area. The application does not limit the setting manner of the second instruction and the fifth instruction. The following describes the setting manners of the second instruction and the fifth instruction to explain:

Method 1: According to different set duration values, distinguishing between the detected long press command is the second command or the fifth command

For example, the second command may be preset as a long press command in which the pressing time of any position in the set area reaches the first preset time value and does not reach the second preset time value, and the preset fifth command is a long press command of the second preset time value of the pressing position of the arbitrary position of the set area; or the second command is a long press command of the pressing time of the arbitrary position in the set area to reach the first preset time value, and the The fifth command is a long press command in which the pressing time of any position in the set area reaches the second preset time value and the first preset time value is not reached. With the above method, the second instruction and the fifth instruction can be distinguished by the difference of the preset duration values of the long-press command.

Method 2, according to detecting different positions of the click instruction or double-clicking the instruction, distinguishing the click instruction or the double-click instruction is the second instruction or the fifth instruction

For example, the first set position in the setting area may be the click or double-click area corresponding to the second instruction, and the mobile phone determines to receive the second after detecting the click or double-click operation at the first set position. An instruction, wherein the first set position may be an area, and the first set area may be presented to the user by means of a virtual button; in addition, the second set position in the set area may be used in the same manner as The click or double-click area corresponding to the fifth instruction, so that the mobile phone can determine that the click command or the double-click command detected at different positions is the second command or the fifth command.

The third method determines whether the detected instruction is the second instruction or the fifth instruction according to whether the second instruction or the fifth instruction is currently received.

In the embodiment of the present application, the second instruction and the fifth instruction may be represented by the same instruction (at least one of a long press instruction, a click, and a double-click instruction), and according to whether the second instruction or the fifth instruction has been received currently. Determining that the received command is a second instruction or a fifth instruction. For example, after the first detection of the long press instruction, the mobile phone determines to receive the second instruction, and after receiving the long press command again, determines to receive the first instruction. Five instructions; in addition, the mobile phone can also determine that the fifth command is received after the first detection of the long press command, and after detecting the long press command again, it is determined that the second command is received, that is, the second command and the first command The five commands are issued in turn. After the mobile phone detects the same trigger command, it will determine in turn according to the preset order that the trigger command received each time is specifically the second command or the fifth command.

Through the above method, the mobile phone can determine that the received long press command, click command, double click command or a combination of these commands is the second command or the fifth command, thereby facilitating the user to issue the first by long press, click, double click, etc. The second command and/or the fifth command cause the mobile phone to change the display position of the one-hand operation display area or change the display area of the one-hand operation display area according to the detected touch operation.

In a possible implementation manner, the mobile phone may determine, according to a preset correspondence between the moving direction of the second touch operation and the zooming operation, whether the moving direction of the detected second touch operation corresponds to an enlargement process or a reduction process. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the second touch operation 1301 in which the preset moving direction is directed upward (including the moving direction vertically upward, and the moving direction is obliquely upward) is taken as the second touch operation corresponding to the enlargement processing, and The second touch operation 1302 that moves the moving direction toward the lower side of the display screen (including the moving direction vertically downward and the moving direction toward the obliquely downward direction) serves as a second touch operation corresponding to the reduction processing.

Specifically, the mobile phone may determine the zoom ratio of the detected one-hand operation display area corresponding to the second touch operation according to the preset relationship between the range of the moving distance of the second touch operation and the zoom ratio. For example, a correspondence table of the range of the moving distance and the scaling ratio as shown in Table 1 is preset, and after determining the moving distance of the second touch operation, the corresponding scaling ratio is determined according to Table 1.

Table 1 Correspondence table between the moving distance and the scaling ratio of the second touch operation

For example, when determining that the moving distance of the second touch operation is in the distance range A, the mobile phone may determine that the zoom ratio corresponding to the distance A is 1.1 times according to Table 1, and the corresponding reduction ratio is 0.9 times; When the hand operation display area is enlarged, the one-hand operation display area can be enlarged by a magnification ratio of 1.1 times.

In a feasible implementation manner, if the second touch operation is an ongoing touch operation, for example, the user touches and slides on the display screen by the finger, the mobile phone can detect at different times before the user's finger leaves the display screen. a plurality of second touch operations with different starting points are determined, and a plurality of moving directions and moving distances are determined according to the plurality of second touch operations, and the mobile phone can continuously adjust according to the determined moving directions and moving distances during the continuous touch operation of the user The size of the display area of the display area is operated by one hand, thereby realizing dynamic adjustment of the display area of the one-hand operation display area according to the motion track of the user's touch operation. Wherein, when the display area of the one-hand operation display area is adjusted, the length and width ratio of the one-hand operation display area can be kept unchanged.

In another possible implementation manner, if the second touch operation is a touch operation that has ended, for example, the processor of the mobile phone determines that the second touch operation ends according to the touch signal sent by the sensor (eg, determines to perform the second touch operation). After the user stops contacting with the display screen, the display area of the one-hand operation display area is enlarged or reduced according to the moving direction and the moving distance of the second touch operation detected by the sensor, thereby realizing the user on the display screen. During the touch operation, the display area of the one-hand operation display area is not scaled, but the display area of the one-hand operation display area is changed by a reduction or enlargement operation after the touch operation ends, thereby saving the memory resource occupation of the mobile phone.

In a feasible implementation manner, the mobile phone may adjust the zoom operation reference point in the one-hand operation display area to the reference point of the enlargement processing or the reduction processing, and perform the enlargement processing or the reduction processing on the one-hand operation display area. In the following, taking the enlargement processing of the one-hand operation display area as an example, a method of performing enlargement processing or reduction processing according to the zoom operation reference point will be described:

As shown in FIG. 14, the vertex position 1401 at the lower right of the one-hand operation display area 1400 before the enlargement is selected as the zoom operation reference point, so that when the enlargement processing is performed, the moving direction of the second touch operation is based on the vertex position 1401. The moving distance enlarges the one-hand operation display area 1400, and the position of the zoom operation reference point 1401 after the enlargement processing is maintained, that is, the vertices on the lower right side of the enlarged one-hand operation display area 1402 are still the position 1401. In addition, when performing the enlargement processing or the reduction processing, it is also possible to select one of the other positions in the display area with one hand as the zoom operation reference point.

The following describes an implementation process of the method for changing the size of the display area of the one-hand operation display area in the embodiment of the present application:
