Referring to
Step 101: displaying a first part of the display interface in a display area on the display unit, the first part of the display interface including a first part of the background image and P icons and Q folders located on the first part of the background image, where P≧0, Q≧1.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the display interface may contain a plurality of icons and a plurality of folders, and any areas of the display interface may be observed by the display unit. For example, content in the display interface displayed in the display area may be changed by switching display pages.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the P icons and the Q folders may be contained in the first part, and the M icons and the N folders may be included in the display interface, wherein P may be equal to or less than M, Q may be equal to or less than N. That is, the first part displayed by the display unit may be a whole or a part of the display interface.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, both the P icons and the Q folders in the first part of the display interface displayed in the display area may respond to operations on them.
Step 102: obtaining, by the sensing unit, a first manipulation operation on a first folder of the Q folders, a first sub-area of the display interface containing the first folder occupying a first display area of the display area on the display unit.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first folder may be any of the M folders, and the first folder is located in the first sub-area of the display interface.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first manipulation operation may be a click operation on the first folder, or may be a double click operation on the first folder, or may be other operations on the first folder. Preferably, the first manipulation operation may be an operation of opening the first folder.
Preferably in the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the display unit is a touch display unit, the first manipulation operation may be an operation on the first folder in the display area by an operator.
Preferably in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the operator may be e.g., a stylus pen, or the operator may be a finger of the user or other operators for input.
Preferably in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the user performs the first manipulation operation on the first folder by the display area, the electronic device may obtain the first manipulation operation by the sensing unit.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first sub-area on the display interface may contain the first folder. That is, the first sub-area is an area is occupied by the first folder in the display interface, i.e., the first folder occupying an entire first sub-area.
Preferably in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first display area may be a part of the display area, and the first display area may have the same size as the first sub-area.
Step 103: executing a zoom-in instruction on the first part of the display interface according to a predetermined scale based on the location of the first folder, in response to the first manipulation operation.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the predetermined scale may be set when the electronic device is manufactured, or may be automatically set by the electronic device according to a dimension scale between an icon in the display interface and an icon in the folder or other parameters, or may be autonomously set by the user as needed.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the first manipulation operation on the first folder is obtained in the first display area on the display interface, the electronic device may execute the zoom-in instruction on the first part of the display interface according to the predetermined scale based on the first folder, in response to the first manipulation operation. It may be understood that the electronic device may execute the zoom-in instruction on the first part according to the predetermined scale by centering on the first sub-area, so as to zoom in the entire first part.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device may zoom in the entire first part. When the electronic device executes the zoom-in instruction on the first part of the display interface according to the predetermined scale based on the first folder, a first part of the background image included in the first part and the P icons and the Q folders located on the first part of the background image are also be zoomed in according to the predetermined scale. Or, when the first part is zoomed in, the display interface and the background image and the M icons and the N folders located on the background which are contained in the display interface may all be zoomed in simultaneously.
Step 104: displaying the first sub-area of the display interface in a second display area of the display area on the display unit, when the zoom-in instruction executed on the first part of the display interface is ended, wherein the second display area is larger than the first display area, and wherein a display effect of the first sub-area being located on the second display area is a zoom-in effect of the first sub-area being located on the first display area.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is to be firstly determined when the zoom-in instruction is ended, before the first sub-area of the display interface is displayed in the second display area of the display area on the display unit.
In particular, determining that the zoom-in instruction executed on the first part of the display interface is ended may includes: judging whether an execution result of the zoom-in instruction satisfies a predetermined condition; and ending the zoom-in instruction executed on the display interface, when the execution result satisfies the predetermined condition.
Preferably in the embodiment of the present disclosure, judging whether an execution result of the zoom-in instruction satisfies a predetermined condition may particularly include: determining whether a size of L icon logos is identical with that of the M icons of the display interface before the zoom-in instruction is executed on the display interface; wherein it is determined that the execution result satisfies the predetermined condition, when the size of the L icon logos is identical with that of the M icons of the display interface before the zoom-in instruction is executed on the display interface; or determining whether a size of the first sub-area including the first folder on the display interface and a size of the display area satisfy a predetermined sub-condition; wherein it is determined that the execution result satisfies the predetermined condition, when the size of the first sub-area including the first folder on the display interface and the size of the display area satisfy the predetermined sub-condition.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the icon of the first folder displayed in the first display area is consisted of the L icon logos, and the display area further includes the P icons of the M icons on the background image in the display interface, the zoom-in instruction may be executed on the first part according to the predetermined scale based on the location of the first folder, after the electronic device obtains the first manipulation operation by the sensing unit. During the first part is zoomed in, it may be judged whether the execution result of the zoom-in result satisfies the predetermined condition in real time, periodically or by a trigger.
For example, it may be judged whether the size of the L icon logos constituting the icon of the first folder is identical with that of the M icons of the display interface before the zoom-in instruction is executed on the first part of the display interface. If so, it is determined that the execution result satisfies the predetermined condition, and the zoom-in instruction is ended. If not, it is determined that the execution result does not satisfy the predetermined condition, and the zoom-in instruction continues to be executed, until the size of the L icon logos is identical with that of the M icons of the display interface before the zoom-in instruction is executed on the first part of the display interface. Then, the zoom-in instruction may be ended
Or, the size of the display area on the display unit may be used as a reference value, and the predetermined sub-condition may be set. For example, the predetermined sub-condition may be a difference between the size of the first sub-area and the size of the display area being within a preset range. Thus, during the first part of the display interface is zoomed in, the electronic device may determine to end the execution of the zoom-in instruction if it is determined that the difference between the size of the first sub-area and the size of the display area is within the preset range; while the electronic device may determine to continue execution of the zoom-in instruction if it is determined that the difference between the size of the first sub-area and the size of the display area is not within the preset range.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the electronic device obtains the first manipulation operation on the display interface, the zoom-in instruction may be executed on the first part of the display interface according to the predetermined scale based on the first sub-area containing the first folder, and the first sub-area may be displayed in the second display area of the display area, the second display area being larger than the first display area. Thus, the display effect of the first sub-area being located on the second display area is the zoom-in effect of the first sub-area being located on the first display area, i.e., it is the zoomed-in first sub-area that is displayed in the second display area. Preferably, the size of the zoomed-in first sub-area may be equal to the size of the second display area after the first sub-area is zoomed in according to the predetermined scale.
For example, as shown in
When the electronic device obtains the first manipulation operation on the first folder 203 by the sensing unit, the zoom-in instruction may be executed on the first part of the display interface according to the predetermined scale based on the location of the first folder 203, and the first sub-area 22 occupied by the first folder 203 may be displayed in the display area. Referring to
Preferably in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first folder may include K icons. When the zoom-in instruction executed on the first part of the display interface is ended and the first folder is displayed in the second display area of the display area on the display unit, the electronic device may enable the invoking function of the K icons when the first folder is displayed in the second display area of the display area on the display unit, so that each of the K icons can enable a corresponding application in response to a trigger operation, i.e., each of the K icons may be in an operable state.
For example, referring to
Preferably, when the K icons in the first folder are displayed in the second display area of the display area, both the M icons in the first part of the display interface and other folders except the first folder in the N folders are not in the display area.
For example, the size of the second display area may be identical with that of the display area. That is, the electronic device displays the first sub-area in the second display area, which is equivalent to displaying the first sub-area in a full screen. Therefore, other folders except the first folder may obviously not be included in the second display area.
Further in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the zoom-in instruction executed on the first part of the display interface is ended, the method may further include: obtaining, by the sensing unit, a second manipulation operation on the first folder displayed in the second display area; executing a zoom-out instruction on the first part of the display interface according to the predetermined scale based on the location of the first folder, in response to the second manipulation operation; displaying the first sub-area of the display interface in a third display area of the display area on the display unit, when the zoom-out instruction executed on the first part of the display interface is ended, wherein the third display area is smaller than the second display area, and wherein a display effect of the first sub-area being located on the third display area is a zoom-out effect of the first sub-area being located on the second display area.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the zoom-in instruction executed on the first part of the display interface is ended, and the first sub-area is displayed in the second display area of the display unit, the electronic device may respond to the second manipulation operation after the second manipulation operation is obtained by the sending unit, when the user performs the second manipulation operation on the first folder in the second display area. Here, the electronic device may execute the zoom-out instruction on the first part of the display interface according to the predetermined scale, based on the first sub-area in which the first folder is located. When the zoom-out instruction executed by the electronic device is ended, the first sub-area may be displayed in the third display area of the display area on the display unit, the third display area being smaller than the second display area. The display effect of the first sub-area being located on the third display area is the zoom-out effect of the first sub-area being located on the second display area, i.e., it is the first sub-area on which the zoom-in instruction has not been executed that is displayed in the third display area.
Preferably, the size of the zoomed-out first sub-area may be equal to the size of the third display area after the first sub-area is zoomed out according to the predetermined scale. Furthermore, the size of the third display area may be equal to that of the first display area.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second manipulation operation may be e.g. an operation of dragging a first icon, in the first sub-area, of the K icons out of the first sub-area.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, dragging the first icon out of the first sub-area may particularly include:
generating an area frame in the first sub-area, when it is determined by the sensing unit that there is the second manipulation operation on the first folder in the first sub-area, wherein the K icons are located in the area frame; zooming out the first part of the display interface according to the predetermined scale and keeping the size of the first icon, when the first icon is dragged; displaying the first sub-area of the first display interface in the third display area of the display area on the display unit when the first icon is dragged out of the area frame, the first icon being located out of the first folder.
Preferably in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the area frame may be an area wire frame generated by the electronic device and displayed in the second display area, when the second manipulation operation on the first icon is obtained by the second display interface, and the K icons in the first folder are all located in the area frame. The size of the area frame may be no larger than that of the second display area.
When the first icon of the K icons touches or is dragged out of the area frame by the second manipulation operation, the electronic device may execute the zoom-out instruction on the first part of the display interface according to the predetermined scale based on the location of the second display area. During the electronic device executes the zoom-out instruction, the first icon may be kept as it is (i.e. the size of being zoomed-in). Referring to
