Description

An application positioning method and device

technical field

The present invention relates to the field of intelligent terminals, in particular to an application positioning method and device in an intelligent terminal.

Background technique

Currently, users can install various applications on their smart terminals, and more and more users are used to displaying icons of many installed applications in a tiled manner on multiple screens of the smart terminal. For example, if the user has installed 40 applications in total, 4 application screens can be used to display the icons of the 40 applications, and 10 application icons are tiled on each application screen. In this way, the user often needs to switch back and forth between multiple application screens to locate a desired application.

Taking the application to be located as application x as an example, in the prior art, the following methods are usually used to locate application x: first, the user needs to locate the target application screen, that is, the application screen for displaying the icon of application x, and then , the user locates the application x in the target application screen, that is, finds the icon of the application x and performs a click operation, etc.

Among them, the ways to locate the target application screen can be as follows:

1) For multiple application screens, the user can set one of the application screens as the default home screen. No matter what interface the screen is in, it can quickly switch to the default home screen through a button such as the home button;

In this way, when the target application screen is the default home screen, the user can quickly locate the target application screen through the home button, but if the target application screen is not the default home screen, the user needs to navigate to the target application screen by flipping the screen;

2) The user can trigger a certain operation to make a page-turning scroll bar appear on the screen, and can realize the screen-turning operation by dragging the page-turning scroll bar, so as to locate the target application screen;

3) The user can trigger a certain operation so that multiple application screens are displayed on the screen together in the form of thumbnails, and the user can click on the target application screen to enlarge it.

It can be seen that in the prior art, no matter which of the above methods is adopted, the user needs to perform a series of operations before locating the target application screen, and only after locating the target application screen can the user locate the application x, thereby reducing the Applies a positioning velocity of x.

detailed description

In view of the problems existing in the prior art, an application positioning solution is proposed in the present invention, which can improve the application positioning speed.

In order to make the technical solution of the present invention more clear and understandable, the solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of an application positioning method in the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, including:

Step 11: When it is detected that the user makes a gesture of locating applications across screens on the screen of the smart terminal, select the application icon associated with the gesture from the application icons displayed on each application screen of the smart terminal.

Usually, for each application screen, for the convenience of operation, some commonly used application icons will be placed in the lower right corner of the screen, and correspondingly, some less frequently used application icons will be placed in the upper left corner of the screen In this way, when the user operates the smart terminal with one hand, it will be more convenient to operate commonly used applications, that is to say, the user will usually know the approximate display position of each application icon on the screen.

For this reason, in this step, when the smart terminal is on any screen (that is, in any interface), when it is detected that the user makes a cross-screen positioning application gesture on the screen of the smart terminal, the following processing can be performed: First, Determine the screen position corresponding to the gesture, and then, for each application icon displayed in each application screen, determine whether the relationship between the display position of the application icon and the screen position corresponding to the gesture meets the predetermined requirements, and if so, Then the application icon is used as the application icon associated with the gesture.

In practical applications, the screen position corresponding to the gesture of the cross-screen positioning application made by the user on the screen of the smart terminal includes but is not limited to one of the following situations:

1) The corresponding screen position is a position point;

For example, when the user makes a Pinch gesture in which two fingers are initially pinched together, the screen position point where the two fingers are initially pinched together is the position point corresponding to the gesture; FIG. A schematic diagram of the Pinch gesture together, as shown in Figure 2. Initially, two fingers are pinched together at the position point, and then the two fingers slide on the screen in the direction indicated by the arrow;

For another example, when the user makes a long press gesture, the screen position point of the long press is the position point corresponding to the gesture;

It should be noted that whether it is a Pinch gesture or a long-press gesture in which two fingers are initially pinched together, the part where the user's finger touches the screen is usually a surface, not a point. How to select a point from this surface as the required location points for prior art;

2) The corresponding screen position is an area range;

For example, when the user makes a circle gesture, the circled area is the area corresponding to the gesture;

For another example, when the user makes a Pinch gesture in which the two fingers are not initially pinched together, the initial screen positions A and B of the two fingers can be determined respectively, and the straight line formed by the two points A and B can be used as the diameter The circular area serves as the area corresponding to the gesture.

In practical applications, a certain gesture is usually set as the gesture for the user to locate the application across screens. The specific gesture can be determined according to actual needs. In addition, the above gestures are only examples and are not used to limit the present invention. The technical solutions of other possible gestures will not be repeated one by one.

Correspondingly, when it is detected that the user makes a gesture of locating applications across screens on the screen of the smart terminal, if the screen position corresponding to the gesture is a position point, then each application displayed in each application screen of the smart terminal can be The application icons respectively perform the following processing: determine whether the absolute value of the distance between the predetermined position point in the display position of the application icon and the position point corresponding to the gesture is less than a predetermined threshold, and if so, determine the display position of the application icon The relationship between the screen positions corresponding to the gesture satisfies a predetermined requirement, and the application icon is used as the selected application icon.

When it is detected that the user makes a cross-screen positioning application gesture on the screen of the smart terminal, if the screen position corresponding to the gesture is within an area, then the following can be performed for each application icon displayed on each application screen: Processing: determine whether the predetermined position point in the display position of the application icon is within the range of the area, and if so, determine that the relationship between the display position of the application icon and the screen position corresponding to the gesture meets the predetermined requirements, and set the The application icon is used as the selected application icon.

Generally speaking, each application icon will occupy a rectangular display position. In actual applications, the display position of each application icon can be obtained and recorded in advance according to the existing method, such as recording the rectangle occupied by each application icon The coordinates of the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the display position; correspondingly, for each application icon, the predetermined position point may refer to the center point of the rectangular display position occupied by the application icon, or may refer to the upper left corner, etc. .

Step 12: Display the selected application icon on the screen.

There is no limit on how to display. For example, the selected application icons can be displayed sequentially. Among them, the application icons that are displayed at the front of the application screen can be displayed at the front. For application icons located on the same application screen, display The sequence can be set arbitrarily; or, the selected application icons can also be displayed in a circle.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the method of sequentially displaying selected application icons in the present invention, as shown in Fig. 3, assuming that the number of selected application icons is 4; Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the method of circular display of selected application icons in the present invention, As shown in FIG. 4 , it is assumed that the number of selected application icons is five.

Other possible display modes will not be described one by one.

The selected application icons are located on the top layer of the screen, from which the user can find the application icon he needs, that is, locate the desired application icon, and perform operations such as clicking.

Based on the above introduction, FIG. 5 is a flow chart of the first preferred embodiment of the application positioning method of the present invention. As shown in Figure 5, including:

Step 51: When it is detected that the user makes a Pinch gesture of initially pinching two fingers together on the screen of the smart terminal, determine the position point Lc corresponding to the gesture.

Step 52: For each application icon displayed in each application screen of the smart terminal, determine whether the absolute value of the distance between the center point of the application icon and Lc is less than a predetermined threshold, and if so, use the application icon as the selected Application icon, otherwise, do not process the application icon.

The specific value of the threshold can be determined according to actual needs.

Step 53: Display the selected application icons on the screen in order.

for example:

Suppose there are 4 application screens in the smart terminal, and 10 application icons are displayed on each application screen. The user knows that the application icon he wants to locate is located at a certain approximate position in the lower right corner of the screen. Make a Pinch gesture in which two fingers are initially pinched together near the location. Correspondingly, the smart terminal will display the application icons on the four application screens near the location point Lc corresponding to the gesture on the current screen, which will include The app icon the user wants to locate.

Fig. 6 is a flow chart of the second preferred embodiment of the application positioning method of the present invention. As shown in Figure 6, including:

Step 61: When it is detected that the user makes a circle gesture on the screen of the smart terminal, determine the range of the area corresponding to the gesture.

Step 62: For each application icon displayed in each application screen of the smart terminal, determine whether the center point of the application icon is located within the area determined in step 61, and if so, use the application icon as the selected application icon, otherwise, the application icon will not be processed.

Step 63: Display the selected application icons on the screen in a circular display manner.
