Patent Application
20160224234
The present invention relates to communication technology field, and particularly to a display method for a touchscreen and a terminal.
At present, on an incoming interface of a terminal, when a user wants to answer or reject a call, the user needs to click the answer or reject button, or answers or rejects the call via sliding. Some optimized answering methods need a user to click a clickable region set by the interface and slide up or down to answer/reject a call.
The shortcoming of such operation methods is that when a user wants to answer or reject a call, the user needs to click a corresponding region of the interface. When the screen is great, it is difficult for the user to touch the clickable region and slide, so it is not convenient for the user to perform operations by one hand. Currently, there is no related art to solve the problem.
The present invention aims to solve one of technical problems in prior art.
Therefore, a purpose of the present invention is to provide a display method for a touchscreen, so as to facilitate a user to perform operations by one hand
Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a terminal.
To realize the above purposes, embodiments in accordance with a first aspect of the present invention provide a display method for a touchscreen which includes acquiring the position of a touch point on the touchscreen when an incoming call interface is displayed, and displaying a plurality of touch buttons around the touch point.
According to the display method for the touchscreen in the embodiments of the present invention, display modes of the touch buttons can be correspondingly changed along with the change of the position of the touch point. The touch point is the position of the touchscreen touched by an input object, such as a user's finger. By doing so, the display positions of the touch buttons can be changed dynamically, so as to facilitate a user to perform operations by one hand.
Furthermore, the display method for the touchscreen in the above embodiments of the present invention can further include the following additional technical features.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the step of displaying the touch buttons around the touch point specifically includes displaying the touch buttons at any positions of an overlapping region between a circle region the center of which is the touch point and the touch screen. The touch buttons can be displayed in adaptive mode along with the change of the touch point.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the touch buttons are displayed above and below the touch point symmetrically or displayed on the left and right of the touch point symmetrically.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the position of the touch point falls within an edge region of the touchscreen, the touch buttons are displayed on an arc the center of which is the touch point and are all further displayed on one side of the touch point. When the position of the touch point falls within the edge region of the touchscreen, the touch buttons should be displayed on one side of the touch point, and cannot be displayed around the touch point randomly. By doing so, it facilitates a user to use his/her finger to touch the touch buttons in a great space, thereby reducing error triggering.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the display method for the touchscreen can further include displaying the dragging button on the touch point, and displaying the touch buttons around the dragging button at intervals; executing a function corresponding to any of the touch buttons when the dragging button is dragged to the position of any of the touch buttons.
To facilitate the user to sense the touch point, the dragging button is displayed above the touch point. The dragging button can be dragged by the user. The touch buttons displayed on the current interface are displayed around the dragging button at intervals, so as to facilitate the user to drag the dragging button to any touch button without triggering other touch buttons incorrectly.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a line connecting the display positions of the touch buttons together is arc-shaped. When the user performs operations by one hand, the thumb is typically used to perform touch operations. As when the thumb slides up and down, the sliding track is typically arc-shaped, thus to facilitate the user to use the thumb to perform touch operations, the touch buttons are arranged in arc, which can cause the positions of the touch buttons to be on the possible sliding track of the thumb, thereby facilitating the thumb to touch the corresponding touch button conveniently as far as possible.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the dragging button is arranged on an arc-shaped connection line. When the touch buttons are arranged in arc, the dragging button is arranged to be adjacent to the touch buttons as far as possible, which facilitates the user to drag the dragging button to a specified touch button when the user performs operations by one hand.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the dragging button is arranged between any two of the touch buttons. When the touch buttons are arranged on the sliding track of the thumb, to reduce error triggering, the touch buttons are arranged on two sides of the dragging button.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the position of the dragging button is at the edge of the touchscreen, the touch buttons are displayed on an arc the center of which is the dragging button.
When the position of the dragging button is not at the edge of the touchscreen, the dragging button and the touch buttons can be arranged in arc. However, when the position of the dragging button is at the edge of the touchscreen, as the display region on one side of the dragging button is limited, the touch buttons cannot be displayed in the display region. Therefore, under this condition, the dragging button and the touch buttons cannot be arranged in arc, and the display positions of the touch buttons can be dynamically changed according to the specific position of the dragging button.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the display method for the touchscreen can further include detecting the size of the area of the touchscreen taken up by the touch point; adjusting the display size of each touch button in adaptive mode according to the size of the detected touch point.
Fingers of different users may have different sizes and shapes. Therefore, to facilitate a user to better touch the touch buttons, the sizes of the touch buttons can be adjusted according to the size of the area of the touchscreen taken up by the user's finger, thereby further enhancing the flexibility of the display of the touch buttons.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the touch buttons include at least one of or a combination of the following: an answer button, a reject button, and a notification prompt button.
To realize the above purposes, embodiments in accordance with a second aspect of the present invention provides a terminal which includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire the position of a touch point on the touchscreen when the incoming call interface is displayed, and a displaying unit connected to the acquisition unit and configured to display a number of touch buttons around the touch point.
