Technical field

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for quickly positioning display content of an electronic device.

Background technique

With the rapid development of science and technology, more and more electronic devices are widely used in people's lives, such as mobile phone terminals, e-books, MP4, etc. These electronic devices often provide users with some display components through their own display components. Text-related functions, such as sending and receiving text messages, browsing e-books or lyrics. Since the display size of an electronic device is limited by its shape, if the content of the text information is large, it is inevitable that the problem of page turning or line feed is involved in reading or inputting, and these problems are collectively referred to as the positioning of the display content of the electronic device. The following is an example of a mobile call terminal.

1 is a schematic diagram of a front structure of a mobile communication terminal in the prior art. The direction button of the button area includes sub-buttons in four directions, namely, an upper button 111, a lower button 112, a left button 113, and a right button 114. In the common settings in the technology, when the upper button 111 and the lower button 112 are respectively clicked, the current content in the display screen 12 is positioned one row forward or one row backward (for example, the current position is as shown in FIG. 1) "When", the position is forwarded to the "previous line" shown in Fig. 1, and the "back line" shown in Fig. 1 is positioned backward. When the left button 113 and the right button 114 are respectively clicked, the display will be displayed. The current content in the screen 12 is positioned one character to the left or one character to the right (for example, if the current position is "front" in the "current line" shown in FIG. 1, then one character is positioned to the left as "When", position one character to the right as "row";).
