This embodiment can be applied to a scenario where a user uses a social application to send an emoticon picture. The social application is an application used for social communication between users, and the social application is installed in an electronic device. Here, electronic devices include but are not limited to computers, mobile phones, tablet computers, personal digital assistants, in-vehicle computers, smart watches, wearable devices, etc., and social applications include but are not limited to WeChat, QQ, Weibo, etc.

In the step S101, the annular selector includes an annular touch area, and the annular touch area is annular in shape, for example, a rectangular ring, an elliptical ring, a circular ring, a square ring, a triangular ring, or an irregular ring. Wherein, the irregular ring includes: the annular inner ring and/or the outer ring are irregular shapes, the annular inner ring and the outer ring are of different shapes, and the like.

Through the setting of the ring-shaped touch area, on the one hand, the ring-shaped touch area adopts a ring structure, and the touch track of the touch operation can be divided from multiple angles based on the ring structure, so as to support the detection and division of more abundant touch operations type, for example, divided by the relative position of the touch track and the inner ring and/or the outer ring of the annular structure, divided by the similarity between the touch track and the inner ring and/or the outer ring of the annular structure, etc.; another On the one hand, the setting of the ring-shaped touch area makes it easier for the user to accurately complete the touch operation when holding the electronic device with one hand.

In this embodiment, the ring selector may be directly configured and displayed on the expression selection interface, or may be suspended in the expression selection interface in the form of a floating window.

In one embodiment, please continue to refer to FIG. 3 , a ring selector is displayed below the input box of the expression selection interface. Of course, the ring selector may also be displayed in other positions, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In the step S102, a touch operation acting on the ring selector is detected.

In this embodiment, the ring selector includes a first area, the touch operation acts on the first area, and the first area can detect the touch operation by a capacitive touch detection method. In other embodiments, the first region can also detect the touch operation by a piezoelectric touch detection method, an acoustic wave touch detection method, an optical touch detection method, or other touch detection methods, which is not limited in the present invention. be restricted.

Here, the touch operation may be a contact or non-contact operation, and the touch operation may be implemented by a user's finger, a stylus, or other touch objects that can operate the first area.

In the step S104, when the touch operation acts on the ring selector, the displayed candidate expression information is switched according to the operation parameters of the touch operation.

Here, the touch operation generates a touch track, and the touch track includes a start position and an end position. The starting position is the starting position where a touch body such as a finger is detected to be in contact with the touch area, the end position is the position where the touch body such as a finger is detected to be far away from the touch area to end the touch operation, and the touch track is when the finger is detected. Wait for the track of the touch body sliding or waving from the start position to the end position on the first area.

During the duration of the detection of the touch operation (ie, corresponding to the start position to the end position of the touch track generated by the touch operation), in response to the touch operation, the electronic device controls to switch the displayed candidate expression information That is, the switching display of the candidate facial expression information starts from the start position of the touch track generated by the touch operation detection, and lasts until the end position of the touch operation operation is detected.

In this embodiment, the operation parameters of the touch operation include: touch method, touch track, touch position, etc. Specifically, the touch method includes but is not limited to: click and/or slide operation, etc.; the touch track includes But not limited to: straight lines and/or curves, etc., the touch position includes but is not limited to: any position on the ring selector, or a preset position of the ring selector, etc.

For example, for different expression packages distinguished by authors, each expression package includes: smiley expression, crying expression, embarrassed expression and other expression pictures with various expression meanings.

In another embodiment, the emoticon package may include: different forms of emoticon pictures with the same emoticon meaning from different sources. For example, the smiley emoticon package may include: smiley emoticon pictures with different meanings in various forms.

When the touch operation acts on the ring selector, the alternative expression information displayed is switched according to the operation parameters of the touch operation acting on the ring selector. E.g:

When the touch method used for the touch operation of the ring selector is a click operation, and the touch position is any position or a preset position of the ring selector, the displayed alternative emoticons are switched. For example, if a click operation is detected at the preset position, the currently displayed alternative emoticons are switched according to the preset switching direction corresponding to the preset position;

When the touch mode used for the touch operation of the ring selector is a sliding operation, and the touch trajectory is a straight line or a ray, the alternative emoticons displayed are switched. Preset switch direction, switch the currently displayed alternative emoticon package;

When the touch mode used for the touch operation of the ring selector is a sliding operation and the touch track is a preset track, the alternative emoticon picture of the current emoticon package displayed is switched.

It can be understood that, according to the needs of practical applications, the electronic device can be preconfigured with operation parameters according to different touch operations to switch and display different candidate expression information.

In the step S105, when the touch operation ends, the switching of the candidate expression information is stopped.

At the end of the touch operation, that is, when it is detected that the touch object such as a finger has reached the end position, the switching of the candidate expression information will be stopped, so that the candidate expression information will stay in the current expression information, such as staying in the current expression package, or staying in the current expression package. in the current emoji picture.

In the step S106, the candidate expression information displayed when the switching is stopped is determined as the target expression information to be operated.

According to the above-mentioned step S105, the current expression information that is staying when the touch operation reaches the end position can be determined, and then it is determined that the current expression information that is staying is the target expression information to be operated. For example, the current emoticon package determined when the switching is stopped is determined as the target emoticon package, the current emoticon picture determined correspondingly when the switching is stopped is determined as the target emoticon picture, or, the description information of the emoticon package determined when the switching is stopped is determined as The description information of the target emoticon package, etc.

After determining the target expression information, the electronic device further detects whether confirmation information for the target expression information is received, and if the confirmation information is detected within a preset time, the target expression information is sent.

If no confirmation information is detected within the preset time, the target expression information determined this time is ignored.

For example, the user judges whether the determined target expression information is the expected expression information. If so, the electronic device will detect a touch operation acting on the confirmation button; if not, the electronic device will not detect touch on the confirmation button. operation, or the next touch operation is detected on the ring controller, it can be considered that the user has instructed to ignore the target expression selected this time.

The embodiment of the present invention introduces a ring selector to switch and display the alternative expression information, so that the user can quickly skip the unnecessary alternative expression information at the speed of one touch operation, and precisely locate the desired expression information by controlling the end position of the touch operation. It can help users to quickly filter the expression information, and improve the efficiency of users to find specific expression pictures.

In some embodiments, in the step S101, a ring selector is displayed on the expression selection interface. For example, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, when the click operation of the emoticon icon is detected and the social application enters the emoticon selection interface, a ring selector is directly displayed on the emoticon selection interface, that is, the annular selector is inherent in the emoticon selection interface. Display item; or, add the entry of the ring selector in the expression selection interface, when the entry of the ring selector is triggered, the ring selector will be called out and displayed on the expression selection interface.

In some embodiments, in step S101, the displaying a ring selector on the expression selection interface includes:

Step S1011: Detecting the entry operation of the ring selector entry acting on the expression selection interface;

Step S1012: After detecting the entering operation, display a ring selector on the in-expression selection interface.

That is, a ring selector entry is added to the expression selection interface, and when an entry operation acting on the ring selector entry is detected, the ring selector is displayed on the expression selection interface, so that the user can browse and select the expression package and the expression package based on the ring selector. Emoji pictures. Here, the entry operation may be a click operation or the like acting on the entry of the ring selector.

In some embodiments, please continue to refer to FIG. 3 , the annular selector includes: a first area and a second area; the first area is located outside the second area; the first area is an annular area;

Here, the first area is an annular area, and the inner ring boundary and/or the outer ring boundary of the annular area may be a circle, a rectangle, a square, an ellipse or other irregular shapes.

The first area is located outside the second area, that is, the annular area is located outside the second area, which can be, for example, the inner ring boundary of the annular area is located outside the second area, or the inner ring boundary of the annular area is the boundary of the second area .

As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , the step S102 of detecting the touch operation acting on the ring selector is specifically: detecting the touch operation acting on the first area of the ring selector, and the touch operation generated by the touch operation touch track P2, the touch track P2 includes a start position P0 and an end position P1;

The switching of the candidate expression information displayed in the step S104 specifically includes: switching the candidate expression information displayed in the second area. For example, alternative expression information is displayed in the second area, and when a touch operation acting on the first area is detected, the alternative expression information displayed in the second area is switched.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, before step S104, the method further includes:

Step S103: According to the type of the touch operation, determine the alternative expression information for switching display, wherein,

If the type of the touch operation is the first type, the alternative emoticon information to be switched and displayed is: an alternative emoticon package, and the alternative emoticon package is: a collection of emoticon pictures;

If the type of the touch operation is the second type, the alternative expression information to be switched and displayed is an expression picture.

If the touch trajectory of the touch operation is a straight line, the touch operation is classified into the first type;

If the touch trace of the touch operation is a curve, the touch operation is classified into the second type.

For example, when the type of the touch operation is the first type, the alternative emoticon information to be switched and displayed is: an alternative emoticon package, the touch operation is used to control the switching display of the emoticon package, and the emoticon package is displayed when the emoticon package is displayed. The first emoticon picture of , or the specified emoticon picture;

When the type of touch operation is the second type, the alternative emoticon information to be switched and displayed is: an alternative emoticon picture, the touch operation is used to control the switching display of the emoticon picture, and the emoticon picture to be switched and displayed includes the emoticon picture currently displayed in the emoticon package. All the emoticon pictures in the electronic device, or all the emoticon pictures in all the emoticon packs stored in the electronic device.

In some embodiments, the touch operation is a sliding operation;

Before step S103, the method further includes:

Step S1031: Determine the type of the sliding operation according to the sliding trajectory of the sliding operation;

Specifically, step S1031 includes:

If the sliding trajectory and the straight line or the ray satisfy similar conditions, the sliding operation is the sliding operation of the first type;

If the sliding track and the area shape of the first area satisfy similar conditions, the sliding operation is the sliding operation of the second type.

In this embodiment, the type of touch operation is the type of sliding operation.

Wherein, the sliding trajectory and the straight line or the ray meet similar conditions, and may include at least one of the following:

The sliding trajectory is a straight line segment; for example, there are several point combinations on the sliding trajectory, each point combination includes at least two points, and the slope of the line where the at least two points are located in each point combination is the same as the slope of the line where the two endpoints of the sliding trajectory are located. The difference in slope is less than the preset threshold;

The sliding track is a ray; for example, there are several point combinations on the sliding track, each point combination includes at least two points, and the slope of the straight line where the at least two points are located in each point combination is within a preset range.

The sliding trajectory of the sliding operation detected by the electronic device determines that the sliding trajectory satisfies a similar condition as a straight line or a ray, and if so, the sliding operation can be determined to be the first type of sliding operation.

The sliding track and the area shape of the first area satisfy similar conditions, and may include at least one of the following:

The area shape of the first area is a circle, and the sliding track is similar to the circle; for example, the sliding track is a circle or an arc shape, and the center of the circle where the sliding track is located is the same as the area where the area shape of the first area is located. The distance between the center of the circle is smaller than the preset threshold; for another example, the distances from several points on the sliding track to the center of the circle where the area shape of the first area is located are respectively different from the distance between the center of the circle where the area shape of the first area is located. The difference in radius is within a preset range.

The area shape of the first area is an ellipse, and the sliding track is a similar figure to the ellipse; for example, the sliding track is an ellipse or an elliptical arc, and the third focus of the ellipse where the sliding track is located is similar to the shape of the first area. The distance of the first focal point of the ellipse where the sliding track is located is smaller than the preset threshold, and the distance between the fourth focal point of the ellipse where the sliding track is located and the second focal point of the ellipse where the area shape of the first area is located is smaller than the preset Threshold; for another example, the sum of the distances from several points on the sliding track to the first focus and the second focus of the ellipse where the region shape of the first region is located is within a preset range.

The area shape of the first area is a square, and the sliding track is a similar figure to the square; for example, the sliding track is a square or a part of the square, and the diagonal intersection of the square where the sliding track is located is the same as the square where the area shape of the first area is located. The distance of the intersection point of the diagonal lines of , is less than the preset threshold; for another example, the square where the sliding track is located is proportional to the corresponding side of the square where the area shape of the first area is located.

The area shape of the first area is a rectangle, and the sliding track is a similar figure to the rectangle; for example, the sliding track is a rectangle or a part of the rectangle, and the diagonal intersection of the rectangle where the sliding track is located is the rectangle where the area shape of the first area is located. The distance of the intersection point of the diagonal lines of , is less than the preset threshold; for another example, the rectangle where the sliding track is located is proportional to the corresponding side of the rectangle where the area shape of the first area is located.

The area shape of the first area is an irregular figure, and the sliding track is a similar figure to the irregular figure. In such a scenario, the area shape of the first area may be divided into circular arcs, elliptical arcs, a part of a square, and/or a part of a rectangle according to the actual situation of the area shape of the first area, and based on the above-mentioned shape The judging method confirms whether the sliding track is a similar figure to the irregular figure.

The sliding trajectory of the sliding operation detected by the electronic device determines that the sliding trajectory is similar to the area shape of the first area.

In some embodiments, after judging whether the sliding track satisfies a similar condition as a straight line or a ray, it is further judged at least one of the following:

The straight line where the straight line segment is located passes through the second area;

The straight line where the ray is located passes through the second area;

or,

The straight line where the straight line segment is located passes through the center of the second area;

The straight line where the ray is located passes through the center of the second area.

The sliding trajectory of the sliding operation detected by the electronic device, and it is judged that the sliding trajectory is similar to the straight line or ray. If it is satisfied, and the line where the sliding trajectory is located passes through the second area or the center of the second area, the sliding operation can be determined as The first type of swipe operation.

Through the above judgment that the line where the sliding track is located passes through the second area or the center of the second area, it is possible to further refine and distinguish the sliding operation as the first type or the second type, so as to avoid the judgment of the type of sliding operation that may occur in some scenarios. mistake. For example, when the inner ring boundary or outer ring boundary of the first region is a rectangle, if the sliding trajectory is a line segment parallel to one side of the rectangle, at this time, the sliding trajectory not only satisfies the similar conditions as a straight line or a ray, but also meets the first The area shape of the area satisfies similar conditions, making it impossible to determine the type of swipe operation. After further judging whether the straight line segment, the ray or the extension thereof passes through the second area or the center of the second area, it can be clearly determined that the sliding operation is a sliding operation of the first type.

In this embodiment, when the sliding track satisfies a similar condition with a straight line or a ray, the displayed emoticon package is switched to realize browsing and selection of the emoticon package; when the sliding track satisfies the similar condition with the area shape of the first area, switching The displayed emoticon pictures, realize the browsing and selection of the emoticon pictures. By identifying the type of the sliding trajectory of the sliding operation, the specific alternative expression information for switching display can be determined, that is, the expression package is switched and displayed based on the first type of sliding operation, or the expression picture is switched and displayed based on the second type of sliding operation.

In some embodiments, the touch operation includes: a sliding operation;

The alternative expression information that is switched and displayed according to the operation parameters of the touch operation includes at least one of the following:

According to the sliding direction of the sliding operation, adopt the preset switching direction corresponding to the sliding direction to switch the displayed candidate expression information;

Specifically, on the one hand, when the sliding track meets a similar condition as a straight line or a ray, the sliding direction of the sliding operation is the direction from the start position to the end position of the touch track generated by the sliding operation. According to the sliding direction of the sliding operation, use the preset switching direction corresponding to the sliding direction to switch the displayed emoticons, for example:

If the sliding direction is vertically up or horizontally right, the displayed emoticons will be switched according to the storage order of the emoticons stored in the electronic device. The initially displayed emoticons are: the first emoticon, the specified emoticon or the last emoticon. The emoji to switch to (recorded as the current emoji).

If the sliding direction is vertical down or horizontal left, the displayed emoticons will be switched in the reverse order of the storage order of emoticons stored in the electronic device. The initially displayed emoticon will be the last emoticon, the specified emoticon or The emoji you switched to last time (recorded as the current emoji).

In other embodiments, the starting position of the touch track generated by the sliding operation is used as the origin, the horizontal direction is the horizontal axis, and the vertical direction is the vertical axis, and a plane rectangular coordinate system is constructed, then:

When the end position of the sliding operation is above the horizontal axis, the displayed emoticons are switched according to the storage order of the emoticons stored in the electronic device;

When the end position of the sliding operation is located below the horizontal axis, the displayed emoticons are switched according to the reverse order of the storage order of the emoticons stored in the electronic device;

Or, when the end position of the sliding operation is on the right side of the vertical axis, the displayed emoticons are switched according to the storage order of the emoticons stored in the electronic device;

When the end position of the sliding operation is located on the left side of the vertical axis, the displayed emoticons are switched according to the reverse order of the storage order of the emoticons stored in the electronic device.

Of course, according to the needs of practical applications, for different sliding directions of the sliding operation, the order corresponding to the appropriate switching and displayed emoticons can be configured.

On the other hand, when the sliding track satisfies a similar condition to the area shape of the first area, the sliding direction of the sliding operation includes a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction. According to the sliding direction of the sliding operation, a preset switching direction corresponding to the sliding direction is used to switch the displayed emoticon pictures. Here, the preset switching direction includes: the storage order of the emoticon pictures in the emoticon package and the emoticons in the emoticon package. The reverse order of the storage order of the pictures. E.g:

When the sliding direction is clockwise, the displayed emoticon pictures are switched according to the storage order of the emoticon pictures in the emoticon package. The initially displayed emoticon picture is the first emoticon picture of the current emoticon package, the specified emoticon picture or the last switch. The emoticon picture to be displayed (referred to as the current emoticon picture), the emoticon picture displayed by switching includes all the emoticon pictures in the current emoticon package, or, all the emoticon pictures in all the emoticon packages stored in the electronic device;

When the sliding direction is counterclockwise, the displayed emoticon pictures are switched in the reverse order of the storage order of the emoticon pictures in the emoticon package. The emoticon picture that is switched to at one time (referred to as the current emoticon picture), the emoticon picture displayed by switching includes all the emoticon pictures in the current emoticon package, or, all the emoticon pictures in all the emoticon packages stored in the electronic device.

As shown in FIG. 11 , according to the sliding speed of the sliding operation, a switching rate positively correlated with the sliding speed is used to switch the displayed candidate expression information.

Here, the sliding speed v ₁ of the sliding operation is obtained, the unit is m/sec, then the switching rate v ₂ =kv ₁ , the unit is z/sec, where k is a preset value, k>0.

Specifically, the sliding speed of the sliding operation is: the ratio of the sliding displacement S in the time interval T to the time interval T, that is, v ₁ =S/T.

In some embodiments, if the candidate expression information is an alternative expression package, the target expression information is a target expression package;

As shown in Figure 7, the method further includes:

Step S107: Determine the target emoticon package as the set of candidate emoticon pictures that are switched and displayed based on the touch operation acting on the ring selector.

Here, if the alternative emoticon information is an alternative emoticon package, then in step S106, the alternative emoticon package displayed when the switching is stopped is determined as the target emoticon package to be operated; further, in step S107, all The target emoticon package is determined to be the set of candidate emoticon pictures that are switched and displayed based on the touch operation acting on the ring selector, that is, all the options that are switched and displayed based on the touch operation acting on the ring selector. The candidate emoticon pictures mentioned above are all emoticon pictures in the target emoticon package.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device, wherein the electronic device at least includes: a processor and a memory for storing executable instructions that can be executed on the processor, wherein: the processor is configured to execute all When the executable instruction is described, the executable instruction executes the steps of the expression information selection method provided by one or more of the foregoing technical solutions.

Hereinafter, the method for selecting expression information according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with a specific example:

When the emoticon input floating window (that is, the emoticon selection interface) in the chat interface of the social application of the mobile terminal is activated, a ring selector is opened by adding an entrance to the information interaction interface. The middle part of the ring selector is used for browsing animations. By receiving the user's touch operation on the interface of the ring selector, the target touch information is obtained. Determine the target emoticon image to display.

After locking the target emoticon picture, the user can directly input the selected target emoticon picture into the corresponding chat interface by clicking the button on the right side of the ring selector. This touch selection method can help the user to quickly filter the expression pictures, and improve the efficiency of the user to find a specific expression picture.

Specifically, taking WeChat as an example, as shown in FIG. 10 , the expression information selection method includes the following steps:

S01: Click the emoticon icon in the social application, and the emoticon selection floating window will pop up and display it below the input box;

S02: Identify the finger click operation, when the entry is triggered, call up the ring selector interface;

As shown in Figure 3, in order to activate the ring selector in the WeChat display interface, the middle position of the ring selector is the expression picture display area (ie the second area), and the first area of the earliest added expression pack is displayed by default. an expression; the periphery of the expression picture display area (ie, the first area) is a ring-shaped touch area, which is used to receive the user's gesture touch information.

S03: Use the center of the ring selector as the base point to detect the operation of the finger on the ring selector, if the action is left/right slide, switch the emoticon package to the left/right, if the action is rotation, switch the picture in the emoticon package to obtain the rotation direction, the circular displacement S of the rotation, and detect whether there is a change in S;

Users can switch to the previous or next emoticon by swiping left or right on the annular touch area, where the order of the emoticons corresponds to the default order in social applications.

The user can view all the emoticon pictures in a certain emoticon package by rotating and touching the ring in the annular area, and the content of the pictures will be presented in the second area in turn, switching one by one. The order in which the expression pictures are presented is the same as the order in which the expression pictures are arranged in the expression package.

S04: If it is detected that S has a change, then calculate the speed V=S/T of the finger rotation in the preset time interval T, the expression picture in a certain expression bag, and the speed of switching is mapped to the rotation speed V correspondingly;

As shown in Figure 11, the order and speed of the switching of facial expressions have a corresponding relationship with the collected user rotation information (that is, the direction and speed V of the touch ring):

The user's finger can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the circumference of the ring. Clockwise rotation is forward, and the expression picture is switched in positive order from the current expression picture, and counterclockwise is reversed, and the expression picture is switched in reverse order from the current expression picture. ;

The rotation information also includes the rotation speed, which is determined by collecting the circular displacement S of the user's finger moving in a unit time T. Preset the unit time to a small value, such as 0.05 seconds, it can be considered that within this interval, the user moves at a uniform speed at the rotational speed V, then, by collecting the circular displacement S of the user's finger movement every 0.05 seconds, V can be obtained. =S/0.05, it should be reflected in the picture with the same speed change. When the rotation has not stopped and given a certain speed again, the switching of the expression picture should also obtain a certain acceleration, so as to realize the acceleration or deceleration of the switching.

S05: When the user's finger stops rotating on the expression selection interface, the expression picture is also immediately suspended and switched, and will be fixed on a certain expression picture;

S06: If the emoticon picture is what the user wants to select, the user clicks the confirmation button on the right to complete the selection and send the emoticon picture.

In summary, browsing emoticon pictures through the ring selector not only increases the display area of emoticon pictures, improves the efficiency of switching between emoticons, but also enables users to quickly skip unnecessary emoticon pictures by rotating quickly. When the rotation action stops, the desired expression picture can be precisely positioned, providing users with a more convenient interaction method.

By acquiring the sliding direction, rotation displacement and rotation direction of the touch operation on the ring selector, the group, switching speed and switching sequence of the expression pictures are controlled. When there are many emoticon pictures, the user can switch the emoticon package by swiping left and right, saving the trouble of clicking one by one; the user can also quickly switch the emoticon picture in a certain emoticon package by quickly turning the ring selector, and by stopping the rotation Precisely locate the target image. Compared with the conventional emoticon selection steps, it reduces the steps of user operation and increases the convenience. At the same time, it enriches the interactive mode of browsing and selecting emoticon pictures on the mobile terminal, enlarges the operation hotspot, and saves one emoji The trouble of long-pressing to view the picture. Moreover, through the touch and rotation of the ring selector, the user can quickly view and switch between multiple expression pictures, which is also convenient for one-handed operation and fits the way of holding the phone. The enlarged emoticon picture can make the user more intuitive to see the content of the moving picture on the limited screen size of the mobile terminal. At the same time, the user can conveniently switch between the expression packs by sliding left and right, which reduces the tediousness of expression picture selection and improves the efficiency of expression selection.
