It shall be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and explanatory and are not intended to be restrictive of the present disclosure.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with the disclosure, and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the disclosure.
Descriptions will now be made in detail to some embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When accompanying figures are mentioned in the following descriptions, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The implementations set forth in the following description of some embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the present disclosure as recited in the appended claims.
Some application scenarios involved in various embodiments of the present disclosure are described below.
For example, a parameter value of a target parameter is adjusted by using a terminal. In some embodiments, the terminal includes a first screen and a second screen. The first screen is displayed on a side surface of the terminal, and the second screen is displayed on a front surface of the terminal.
Alternatively, the second screen is displayed on a back surface of the terminal.
Alternatively, the second screen is displayed on the front surface and the back surface of the terminal. As the first screen and the second screen may be designed as two different regions in a same screen, or may be two screens independent from each other, terminals of these two structures are respectively described below.
1) The first screen and the second screen are designed as two different regions in the same screen.
Because areas of the front surface and the back surface of the terminal are both larger than an area of the side surface, a size of the second screen is larger than the size of the first screen. In an implementation, the second screen is designed as a full screen.
In some embodiments, the terminal may include only one first screen and one second screen. Alternatively, the terminal may further include another first screen which is being displayed on the side surface of another side of the terminal.
2) The first screen and the second screen may be two screens independent with each other.
In the embodiment, the size of the second screen is larger than the size of the first screen, as described in 1) above.
In step 201, a first touch operation acting in a predetermined region of the first screen is received.
In step 202, an adjustment bar of the target parameter is displayed in the first screen according to the first touch operation, and the target parameter is related to the application displayed in the second screen.
In step 203, a second touch operation acting on the adjustment bar is received.
In step 204, the parameter value of the target parameter is adjusted according to the second touch operation.
Therefore, the parameter adjustment method provided by the present disclosure can display the adjustment bar of the target parameter related to an application in the first screen when the application is displayed in the second screen. In this way, the user can perform the second touch operation at the adjustment bar to adjust the parameter value of the target parameter, thereby avoiding problems that a physical button has a short service life when the parameter value of the target parameter is adjusted by the physical button, and achieving an effect of improving the service life of the terminal.
In step 301, the first touch operation acting in a predetermined region of the first screen is received.
In some embodiments, a region can be specified in the first screen as the predetermined region.
Alternatively, when a notification bar icon of time, weather, etc. is displayed in the first screen, a region may be specified in the region other than a display region in the first screen, and the region is configured as the predetermined region.
Alternatively, when an icon of the target parameter is not displayed in the first screen, any one of regions other than the display region may be configured as the predetermined region. When the icon of the target parameter is displayed in the first screen, a region including the icon of the target parameter may be specified as the predetermined region.
In the embodiments, the target parameter is a parameter that needs to adjust the parameter value, and the target parameter is related to the application displayed in the second screen. For example, when the application involving sound playback is displayed in the second screen, the target parameter may be set as a media volume and/or an audio progress.
When the application involving video playback is displayed in the second screen, the target parameter may be set as a media volume and/or a video progress. When the application involving reading is displayed in the second screen, the target parameter may be set as screen brightness and/or a reading progress (that is, a page turning progress).
When the application involving imaging is displayed in the second screen, the target parameter may be set as a flash color temperature and/or a focal length (that is, an image zoom factor).
When the application involving illumination is displayed in the second screen, the target parameter may be set as a flash brightness. When a desktop is displayed in the second screen, the target parameter may be set as a ringer volume. These embodiments are only described with respect the above-mentioned several target parameters as examples. Of course, other target parameters may be set according to the application displayed in the second screen, which is not limited in the present disclosure.
Alternatively, when the application displayed in the second screen is corresponding to the target parameter, a predetermined region may be set for the target parameter in the first screen. When the application displayed in the second screen is corresponding to at least two target parameters, a predetermined region may be set for each target parameter in the first screen.
Alternatively, when the terminal includes two first screens, the target parameter corresponding to each of the two first screens may be determined at first, and then the predetermined region is set for each target parameter in the first screen. For example, a text reading application is corresponding to the two target parameters including the screen brightness and the ringer volume, and the predetermined region corresponding to the screen brightness may be set in the first screen displayed on the left surface of the terminal. The predetermined region corresponding to the ringer volume is set in the first screen displayed on the right surface of the terminal.
In some embodiments, in the first screen, the icon of the target parameter may be displayed, or the icon of the target parameter may not be displayed, and the two cases are respectively described below.
In a first implementation, when the icon of the target parameter is displayed in the predetermined region of the first screen, the first touch operation acting on the icon is received.
When the first touch operation is acting on the icon of the target parameter, the terminal determines that the first touch operation is received. For example, the first touch operation is a click operation. When the user clicks on the icon of the target parameter, the terminal determines that the first touch operation is received.
Referring to
In a second implementation, when the icon of the target parameter is not displayed in the predetermined region of the first screen, the first touch operation acting on the predetermined region is received.
When the first touch operation acting on any position within the predetermined region, the terminal determines that the first touch operation is received. For example, the first touch operation is a click operation. When the user clicks on a center position or an edge position in the predetermined region, the terminal determines that the first touch operation is received.
In step 302, a pressure value of the first touch operation acting on the predetermined region is acquired. When the pressure value is less than a predetermined threshold, step 303 is performed. When the pressure value is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold, step 304 is performed.
In some embodiments, a pressure sensor is provided in the predetermined region. Then, when the first touch operation is acting on the predetermined region, the pressure value of the first touch operation is acquired by the pressure sensor, and the pressure value is compared with the predetermined threshold.
According to operating habits of most users, a pressure applied by the user when performing the first touch operation is changed from a small value to a large value. The pressure value is initially less than the predetermined threshold. If the icon of the target parameter is not displayed in the first screen at this time, the icon may be displayed when the first touch operation is received. If the icon of the target parameter is displayed on the first screen at this time, the display parameter of the icon may be modified to reflect the change of the pressure, thereby improving experience of the user, that is, the step 303 is performed. Next, when the pressure value is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold, the icon of the displayed target parameter may be switched to the adjustment bar of the target parameter, that is, the step 304 is performed. In the embodiment, a definition of the adjustment bar is described in detail in the step 304.
In the step 303, the display parameter of the icon of the target parameter is determined according to the pressure value, and the display parameter includes at least one of size and color of the icon. The icon of the target parameter is displayed in the first screen with the display parameter, and step 302 is continually performed.
When the display parameter includes the size, a magnitude of the pressure value is positively correlated with the magnitude of the size. That is, the larger the pressure, the larger the size. When the display parameter includes a color, the color can be switched when the first touch operation is received, for example, the color is switched from black to blue, and etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.

Referring to
Alternatively, when at least two target parameters related to the application exist, the target parameter corresponding to the predetermined region may be selected from the at least two target parameters according to the first touch operation, and different target parameters are corresponding to different predetermined regions, then the step 303 is performed.
Because performing the first touch operation by the user is a continuous process, the terminal can further acquire the pressure value, and then compare the pressure value with the predetermined threshold. That is, the step 302 is continually preformed, and the step 304 is performed until when the pressure value is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold.
In step 304, the adjustment bar of the target parameter is displayed in the first screen.
The adjustment bar is set as a bar-shaped control for adjusting the target parameters. In an embodiment, the adjustment bar has a draggable button control. The user can set the parameter value of the target parameter by dragging a button control. In another implementation, the adjustment bar is consisted of grids sequentially arranged one by one. The user can select a grid to set the parameter values of the target parameters, referring to bar 502 of the brightness adjustment in
Alternatively, when the at least two target parameters related to the application exist, the target parameter corresponding to the predetermined region may be selected from the at least two target parameters according to the first touch operation, and the different target parameters are corresponding to the different predetermined regions, then the step 304 is performed.
Alternatively, the terminal may further perform a vibration feedback when the pressure value is reached the predetermined threshold to prompt the user to switch the icon of the target parameter to the adjustment bar.
In step 305, the parameter value of the target parameter is adjusted according to the second touch operation.
The second touch operation may be a click operation, a sliding operation, or another touch operation, which is not limited in the present disclosure.
In step 306, the parameter value of the target parameter is adjusted according to the second touch operation.
In the first implementation, when the second touch operation is set as the click operation, an action position of the click operation in the adjustment bar is determined, and the value corresponding to the action position is used as the parameter value of the target parameter.
For example, the terminal can divide a maximum value of the target parameter by the length of the adjustment bar to obtain the value corresponding to each of action positions in the adjustment bar. When the terminal determines the action position of the click operation in the adjustment bar, the value corresponding to the action position is acquired, which is taken as the parameter value of the target parameter.
In the second implementation, when the second touch operation is set as the sliding operation, a sliding speed and a sliding distance of the sliding operation are determined, and the value determined based on the sliding speed and the sliding distance is taken as the parameter value of the target parameter.
In the embodiment, the magnitude of the sliding speed is positively correlated with the magnitude of a change of the parameter value, and the magnitude of sliding distance is positively correlated with the magnitude of the change of the parameter value. That is, the faster the sliding speed, the larger the parameter value changes, and the farther the sliding distance is, the larger the parameter value changes.
In some embodiments, a calculation formula between the sliding speed, the sliding distance, and the magnitude of the change of the parameter value can be set by the terminal. When the terminal determines the sliding speed and the sliding distance, a change value of the parameter value can be calculated according to the calculation formula, and a current parameter value and the change value are added or subtracted to obtain the parameter value of the target parameter.
Alternatively, the terminal can further display the parameter value of the target parameter at current time. Referring to
Alternatively, when the adjustment bar is not operated within a preset duration, the terminal can further hide the adjustment bar, so as to display other content in the first screen and to improve utilization of the first screen.
In an application scenario, the user performs the click operation within the predetermined region in the first screen. When the pressure value of the click operation is less than the predetermined threshold, the size of the icon of the target parameter in the predetermined region displayed by the terminal gradually becomes larger, and the color of the icon is switched from black to blue. When the pressure value of the click operation is equal to the predetermined threshold, the terminal performs the vibration feedback. The user continues to perform the sliding operation under a situation of not letting go. The terminal determines the parameter value of the target parameter according to the sliding speed and the sliding distance of the sliding operation. At this time, the adjustment of the target parameters can be achieved by one continuous operation, which can reduce complexity of the parameter adjustment and improve efficiency of the parameter adjustment.
In an application scenario, the user clicks on the icon of the target parameter displayed in the first screen. The terminal displays the adjustment bar in the first screen. The user clicks on the grid in the adjustment bar, and the parameter value of the target parameter is determined by the terminal according to the position of the grid in the adjustment bar.
Therefore, the parameter adjustment method provided by the present disclosure can display the adjustment bar of the target parameter related to the application in the first screen when the application is displayed in the second screen. In this way, the user can perform the second touch operation at the adjustment bar to adjust the parameter value of the target parameter, thereby avoiding the problems that the physical button has the short service life when the parameter value of the target parameter is adjusted by the physical button, and achieving the effect of improving the service life of the terminal.
Because the display parameter is determined according to the pressure value, the icon of the target parameter displayed in the first screen with the display parameter can reflect the change of the pressure to enhance the experience of the user.
When the adjustment bar is not operated within a preset duration, the terminal can further hide the adjustment bar, so as to display other content in the first screen and to improve utilization of the first screen.
The first receiving module 701 is configured to receive the first touch operation acting in a predetermined region of the first screen.
The display module 702 is configured to display the adjustment bar of the target parameter in the first screen according to the first touch operation received by the first receiving module 701, and the target parameter is related to the application displayed in the second screen.

In this way, the user can perform the second touch operation at the adjustment bar to adjust the parameter value of the target parameter, thereby avoiding the problems that the physical button has the short service life when the parameter value of the target parameter is adjusted by the physical button, and achieving the effect of improving the service life of the terminal.

Certain features that are described in this specification in the context of separate implementations can also be implemented in combination in a single implementation. Conversely, various features that are described in the context of a single implementation can also be implemented in multiple implementations separately or in any suitable subcombination.
Moreover, although features can be described above as acting in certain combinations and even initially claimed as such, one or more features from a claimed combination can in some cases be excised from the combination, and the claimed combination can be directed to a subcombination or variation of a subcombination
Similarly, while operations are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this should not be understood as requiring that such operations be performed in the particular order shown or in sequential order, or that all illustrated operations be performed, to achieve desirable results. In certain circumstances, multitasking and parallel processing can be advantageous. Moreover, the separation of various system components in the implementations described above should not be understood as requiring such separation in all implementations, and it should be understood that the described program components and systems can generally be integrated together in a single software product or packaged into multiple software products.
As such, particular implementations of the subject matter have been described. Other implementations are within the scope of the following claims. In some cases, the actions recited in the claims can be performed in a different order and still achieve desirable results. In addition, the processes depicted in the accompanying figures do not necessarily require the particular order shown, or sequential order, to achieve desirable results. In certain implementations, multitasking or parallel processing can be utilized.
Some other embodiments of the present disclosure can be available to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the various embodiments disclosed herein. The present application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present disclosure following general principles of the present disclosure and include the common general knowledge or conventional technical means in the art without departing from the present disclosure. The specification and examples can be shown as illustrative only, and the true scope and spirit of the disclosure are indicated by the following claims.
In the description of the present disclosure, the terms “one embodiment,” “some embodiments,” “example,” “specific implementation,” and the like may indicate a specific feature described in connection with the embodiment or example, a structure, a material or feature included in at least one embodiment or example. In the present disclosure, the schematic representation of the above terms is not necessarily directed to the same embodiment or example.
Moreover, the particular features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. In addition, various embodiments or examples described in the specification, as well as features of various embodiments or examples, can be combined and reorganized.
Implementations of the subject matter and the operations described in this disclosure can be implemented in digital electronic circuitry, or in computer software, firmware, or hardware, including the structures disclosed herein and their structural equivalents, or in combinations of one or more of them. Implementations of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented as one or more computer programs, i.e., one or more modules of computer program instructions, encoded on one or more computer storage medium for execution by, or to control the operation of, data processing apparatus.
Alternatively, or in addition, the program instructions can be encoded on an artificially-generated propagated signal, e.g., a machine-generated electrical, optical, or electromagnetic signal, that is generated to encode information for transmission to suitable receiver apparatus for execution by a data processing apparatus. A computer storage medium can be, or be included in, a computer-readable storage device, a computer-readable storage substrate, a random or serial access memory array or device, or a combination of one or more of them.
Moreover, while a computer storage medium is not a propagated signal, a computer storage medium can be a source or destination of computer program instructions encoded in an artificially-generated propagated signal. The computer storage medium can also be, or be included in, one or more separate components or media (e.g., multiple CDs, disks, drives, or other storage devices). Accordingly, the computer storage medium can be tangible.
The operations described in this disclosure can be implemented as operations performed by a data processing apparatus on data stored on one or more computer-readable storage devices or received from other sources.
