20210255761
This application relates to the field of terminal device technologies, and in particular, to a suspend button display method and a terminal device.
To reduce physical buttons without affecting operation convenience of a user, a suspend navigation button (briefly referred to as a suspend button) is set in many terminal devices. The user may operate a suspend button displayed on a touch display screen, to enable a terminal device to perform a specific function.
Currently, a suspend button in a terminal device is equivalent to an image. Therefore, when a user operates a suspend button on a touch display screen of a terminal device, there are usually only the following several interaction modes between the user and the suspend button.
1. When the user drags the suspend button, a location of the suspend button on the touch display screen changes as a finger of the user moves on the touch display screen.
2. When the user touches and holds or taps the suspend button, specified function icons are displayed around the suspend button; or the suspend button disappears, and a separate function zone is displayed on the touch display screen, where the function zone includes specified function icons.
It may be learned from the foregoing description that the suspend button in a conventional design has an undiversified interaction mode with the user, and has relatively poor display flexibility.
This application provides a suspend button display method and a terminal device, to improve display flexibility of a suspend button.
According to a first aspect, a suspend button display method is provided. The method may include the following steps.
First, a terminal device displays a suspend button in a default state on a touch display screen, where a first graphic is displayed in the suspend button; then, the terminal device detects a touch operation of a target object on the suspend button; and when the terminal device detects a sliding operation, the terminal device controls, in response to the detected sliding operation, the first graphic to present an effect of a dynamic change on the touch display screen along with a sliding track of the sliding operation, where the dynamic change includes a dynamic change generated when the first graphic is stretched in a direction opposite to a sliding direction.
When the terminal device detects that the target object performs the sliding operation on the suspend button, the terminal device may control the suspend button to present an effect of a dynamic change. For the first graphic in the suspend button, an effect of a dynamic change that is generated when an object having mass, elasticity, and toughness is dragged in a physical world may be simulated, so that a user explicitly senses that the touch operation acts on the suspend button. Therefore, according to the method, display flexibility of the suspend button can be improved, so that visual experience of the user is improved.
In one embodiment, the dynamic change generated when the first graphic is stretched in the direction opposite to the sliding direction includes protrusion deformation occurring on the first graphic in the direction opposite to the sliding direction.
According to this embodiment, when the user performs the sliding operation on the suspend button, the suspend button may present an inertia lag phenomenon that is also presented when an elastic object is dragged, so that user experience is closer to that in the physical world.
In one embodiment, a protrusion deformation degree of the first graphic may be related to a parameter such as a sliding track distance of the sliding operation, a touch force of the target object, or a sliding speed of the target object. For example, a larger sliding track distance of the sliding operation, a larger touch force of the target object, or a higher sliding speed of the target object indicates a higher protrusion deformation degree of the first graphic. In this way, the user can change the protrusion deformation of the first graphic by adjusting the target object.
In one embodiment, in the suspend button in the default state, a default state of the first graphic is circular; and correspondingly, the first graphic during the dynamic change is water droplet-shaped or quasi-elliptical. These graphics can achieve a smoother effect, and enhance user experience.
In one embodiment, to present the effect of the dynamic change of the first graphic, before the sliding operation ends or a deformation upper limit of the first graphic is not reached, the first graphic may present the effect of the dynamic change through a plurality of times of changes.
In one embodiment, in a dynamic change process of the first graphic, the first graphic changing each time is generated by the terminal device by performing a metaball algorithm on a reference graphic and an auxiliary circle. A size of the reference graphic is the same as that of the first graphic in the default state, and a first circle center distance is less than a second circle center distance, where the first circle center distance is a distance between a circle center of the reference graphic and a circle center of the auxiliary circle when the first graphic changing for the Nth time is generated, and the second circle center distance is a distance between the circle center of the reference graphic and the circle center of the auxiliary circle when the first graphic changing for an (N+1)th time is generated, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
According to this embodiment, when the user performs the sliding operation on the suspend button, the suspend button may present a water droplet shape or a quasi-ellipse, so that user experience is closer to that in the physical world.
In one embodiment, before the protrusion deformation occurs on the first graphic, the terminal device divides the first graphic in the default state into two parts based on a division line perpendicular to the sliding direction, determines one part located in the direction opposite to the sliding direction relative to the division line as a first part, then performs stretching processing on the first part when determining the first graphic changing for a first time, to obtain the first graphic changing for the first time, and performs stretching processing on the first part changing for an (M−1)th time when determining the first graphic changing for an Mth time, where M is an integer greater than 2.
According to this embodiment, when the user performs the sliding operation on the suspend button, the suspend button may present a water droplet shape or a quasi-ellipse, so that user experience is closer to that in the physical world.
In one embodiment, in a dynamic change process of the first graphic, the first graphic changing for the first time is generated by the terminal device by performing compression processing on a second part of the first graphic in the default state, and the first graphic changing for the Mth time is generated by the terminal device by performing compression processing on the second part of the first graphic changing for the (M−1)th time, where the second part of the first graphic in the default state is a part other than the first part in the two parts into which the first graphic in the default state is divided.
In one embodiment, a second graphic is further displayed in the suspend button; and when the suspend button is in the default state, a whole of the first graphic covers the second graphic.
In one embodiment, in a process in which the first graphic presents the effect of the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, the whole or a part of the first graphic covers the second graphic.
In one embodiment, in the process in which the first graphic presents the effect of the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, a dynamic change generated when the second graphic is stretched in the direction opposite to the sliding direction occurs on the second graphic.
In one embodiment, protrusion deformation may also occur on the second graphic in the direction opposite to the sliding direction. For a method for generating the second graphic changing each time, refer to the method for generating the changing first graphic. Details are not described herein again.
In one embodiment, the second graphic is not displaced along with the sliding track. A location of the second graphic is fixed, and therefore, during the dynamic change of the first graphic, an effect that the first graphic moves relative to the second graphic may be presented.
In one embodiment, when a dynamic change generated due to stretching occurs on each of the first graphic and the second graphic, a protrusion deformation degree of the second graphic is less than the protrusion deformation degree of the first graphic.
In one embodiment, the first graphic is displayed at a first display layer, the second graphic is displayed at a second display layer, and the first display layer is located above the second display layer; when the suspend button is in the default state, a whole of the first display layer covers the second display layer; and in the process in which the first graphic presents the effect of the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, the whole or a part of the first display layer covers the second display layer, so that in the process in which the first graphic presents the effect of the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, the whole or the part of the first graphic covers the second graphic.
According to this embodiment, it can be ensured that in the process in which the first graphic presents the effect of the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, the whole or the part of the first graphic covers the second graphic.
In one embodiment, the terminal device obtains a plurality of to-be-displayed image frames corresponding to an effect of a dynamic change that the whole or the part of the first graphic covers the second graphic in the process in which the first graphic presents the effect of the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, and sequentially displays the plurality of image frames, so that in the process in which the first graphic presents the effect of the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, the effect of the dynamic change that the whole or the part of the first graphic covers the second graphic is achieved.
According to this embodiment, it can be ensured that in the process in which the first graphic presents the effect of the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, the whole or the part of the first graphic covers the second graphic.
In one embodiment, the plurality of image frames are obtained through changing based on a group of image frames.
In one embodiment, before the terminal device detects the sliding operation, the terminal device detects a first touch and hold operation, where the first touch and hold operation is an operation of the target object on the suspend button for a touch time exceeding first duration; and the terminal device enables, in response to the detected first touch and hold operation, a function of responding to the sliding operation.
According to this embodiment, the user may enable, through the first touch and hold operation, the terminal device to enable the function of responding to the sliding operation, to avoid a power consumption waste and a resource waste that result from enabling of the function by the terminal device for a long time.
In one embodiment, when the terminal device detects that the sliding operation ends, the terminal device displays the suspend button restored to the default state. In one embodiment, in the terminal device, the suspend button changing last time may be restored to the suspend button in the default state through a transition animation, so that a change of the suspend button can have a transition process, and a problem of relatively poor visual effect of the user due to abrupt and direct replacement is avoided.
In one embodiment, when the terminal device detects that the sliding operation ends, the terminal device executes an instruction corresponding to the sliding operation.
In one embodiment, the dynamic change further includes displacement of the first graphic that is generated along with the sliding track. In this case, when the displacement of the first graphic that is generated along with the sliding track of the sliding operation exceeds a specified distance or the first graphic moves to a specified location, the terminal device executes an instruction corresponding to the sliding operation.
In one embodiment, based on the foregoing design, the terminal device may further display the suspend button restored to the default state.
In one embodiment, when the terminal device detects a tap operation or a second touch and hold operation, the terminal device controls, in response to the detected tap operation or second touch and hold operation, the suspend button to first present an effect that the first graphic is zoomed in or zoomed out by a specified proportion, and then displays the suspend button restored to the default state, where the second touch and hold operation is an operation of the target object on the suspend button for a touch time exceeding second duration.
According to this embodiment, the suspend button may notify, through a zoom effect, the user that the suspend button has been tapped or touched and held. Therefore, according to the method, the display flexibility of the suspend button and the visual experience of the user can also be improved.
In one embodiment, when the first graphic is zoomed in or zoomed out by the specified proportion, a visual parameter of the first graphic changes, where the visual parameter is at least one of the following: transparency, color, brightness, and gradation.
In one embodiment, the terminal device executes an instruction corresponding to the tap operation or the second touch and hold operation.
In one embodiment, the suspend button includes a first display area and a second display area, where the first display area is used to display the suspend button, the second display area is set to be transparent (to be specific, no content is displayed in the second display area), and an area of the first display is greater than an area of the second display area.
In this case, the terminal device detects the touch operation of the target object on the suspend button by using the following step:
detecting, by the terminal device, a touch operation of the target object at a location of the second display area on the touch display screen, to detect the touch operation of the target object on the suspend button.
According to this embodiment, the suspend button presenting the dynamic effect can be displayed on the touch display screen of the terminal device, and further, it can be ensured that the user can operate a home screen or a presentation interface that is covered by the suspend button presenting the dynamic effect.
In one embodiment, the suspend button is a virtual button that has an instruction trigger function and that suspends on a home screen of the terminal device or an uppermost layer of a program interface that is currently running.

In this way, the suspend button may present a plurality of display forms. Therefore, according to the method, the display flexibility of the suspend button can be improved, so that the visual experience of the user is improved.
This application provides a suspend button display method and a terminal device, to improve display flexibility of a suspend button. The method and the terminal device are based on same inventive conception. A problem resolving principle of the method is similar to that of the terminal device.

In solutions provided in embodiments of this application, when the terminal device detects that a target object performs a sliding operation on a suspend button, the terminal device may control the suspend button to present an effect of a dynamic change. In this way, the suspend button may present a plurality of display forms. Therefore, according to the method, the display flexibility of the suspend button can be improved, so that visual experience of a user is improved.
Some terms in this application are explained and described below, to facilitate understanding of a person skilled in the art.
(1). The terminal device is a device that can perform human-device interaction by using a touch display screen. The user may operate the touch display screen by using the target object, so that the terminal device performs a specific function, and the terminal device can also display a user interface by using the touch display screen. The terminal device may include, for example, a household intelligent terminal (including an air conditioner, a refrigerator, an electric cooker, a water heater, and the like), a business intelligent terminal (including a viewphone set, a conference desktop intelligent terminal, and the like), a wearable device (including a smartwatch, smart glasses, and the like), a financial intelligent terminal, a smartphone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an in-vehicle device, and a computer.
(2). The target object is an object that can be detected and positioned by the touch display screen when approaching or touching the touch display screen of the terminal device, and for example, is a human body or a manually entering tool, such as a stylus that is commonly used by the user.
(3). The suspend button is a virtual button that has an instruction trigger function and that suspends on a home screen of the terminal device or an uppermost layer of a program interface that is currently running. Generally, the suspend button is designed as a specific shape, to facilitate identification of the user. Therefore, the suspend button includes at least one graphic element. It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not limit a type of the graphic element displayed by the suspend button.
In one embodiment, the suspend button may present an effect of a dynamic change, and the dynamic change is usually based on a shape of the suspend button in a default state. Therefore, the graphic element in the suspend button in the default state is usually a regular graphic. The default state is a state formed when the suspend button is not operated by the user and does not present the effect of the dynamic change, namely, an initial state of the suspend button.
In the default state, the graphic element in the suspend button is also in a default state.
One graphic may be displayed in the suspend button. For example, in the default state, the graphic is a (right-angle or rounded-corner) square, a circle, a polygonal-star shape, or the like. For example, the suspend button is suspend buttons in a default state shown in figures a to d in
It should be noted that the suspend buttons in
(4) A touch operation is implemented by the user by approaching or touching the touch display screen of the terminal device by using the target object. For example, when the user touches a location of the suspend button on the touch display screen by using the target object, the target object performs the touch operation on the suspend button. Therefore, it may be understood that the touch operation of the target object on the suspend button is not a direct operation of the target object on the suspend button, but is implemented by the target object by touching, through the touch display screen, an area of the location in which the suspend button is displayed.
Currently, commonly used types of the touch operation include a tap (including single-tap, double-tap, and three-tap) operation, a touch and hold operation, a sliding operation, and the like.
(5). A display area is also referred to as a view. A same display interface includes at least one layer of display area. Different display areas may display different user interfaces. The suspend button needs to suspend on the home screen or the uppermost layer of the program interface that is currently running. Therefore, when a suspend button is displayed on a display interface, the display interface includes a plurality of layers of display areas. A bottom-layer display area is used to display the home screen or the program interface, and at least one other display area is used to display the suspend button.
(6). “A plurality of” refers to two or more.
(7). “And/or” describes an association relationship for describing associated objects and represents that three relationships may exist. For example, A and/or B may represent the following three cases: Only A exists, both A and B exist, and only B exists. The character “I” usually indicates an “or” relationship between the associated objects.
In addition, it needs to be understood that, in description of this application, terms such as “first” and “second” are used only for the purpose of differentiated description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or a sequence.

An embodiment of this application provides a suspend button display method. The method is applicable to the terminal device shown in
S301: The terminal device displays a suspend button in a default state on the touch display screen, where a first graphic is displayed in the suspend button.
The suspend button suspends on a home screen of the terminal device or an uppermost layer of a program interface that is currently running, to form a current user interface.
In one embodiment, when the suspend button includes a plurality of graphic elements, a second graphic is further displayed in the suspend button. In this embodiment, shapes of the first graphic and the second graphic are not limited.
S302: The terminal device detects a touch operation of a target object on the suspend button.
In one embodiment, the terminal device may collect, by using the touch display screen having an input function, the touch operation of a user on or near the touch display screen by using the target object.
S303: When the terminal device detects a sliding operation, the terminal device controls, in response to the detected sliding operation, the first graphic to present an effect of a dynamic change along with a sliding track of the sliding operation, where the dynamic change includes a dynamic change generated when the first graphic is stretched in a direction opposite to a sliding direction.
According to the foregoing steps, for the suspend button, an effect of a dynamic change that is generated when an object having mass, elasticity, and toughness is dragged in a physical world may be simulated, so that the user explicitly senses that the touch operation acts on the suspend button. Therefore, according to the method, display flexibility of the suspend button can be improved, so that visual experience of the user is improved.
In an actual physical world, dragging an elastic object having mass usually changes a shape of the object. For example, an inertia lag phenomenon occurs on the object in a direction opposite to a dragging direction, and the phenomenon causes protrusion deformation of the object in the direction opposite to the dragging direction. Therefore, in one embodiment, the dynamic change generated when the first graphic is stretched in the direction opposite to the sliding direction includes protrusion deformation occurring on the first graphic in the direction opposite to the sliding direction.
According to the method, when the user performs the sliding operation on the suspend button, the suspend button may present an inertia lag phenomenon that is also presented when an elastic object is dragged, so that user experience is closer to that in the physical world.
In one embodiment, in a dynamic change process, a protrusion deformation degree of the first graphic may be related to a parameter such as a sliding track distance of the sliding operation, a touch force of the target object, or a sliding speed of the target object. For example, a larger sliding track distance of the sliding operation, a larger touch force of the target object, or a higher sliding speed of the target object indicates a higher protrusion deformation degree of the first graphic.
In one embodiment, the dynamic change further includes displacement of the first graphic that is generated along with the sliding track.
A displacement direction of the first graphic is the sliding direction.
When a force for dragging an actual object is sufficiently large, the object may be displaced. Therefore, according to the method, when the user performs the sliding operation on the suspend button, the protrusion deformation occurs on the first graphic, and further, the first graphic is displaced, so that an effect achieved when the actual object is dragged in the physical world can be further simulated. In addition, when the user performs the sliding operation on the suspend button to drag the suspend button on the touch display screen, the first graphic also needs to be displaced.
In one embodiment, in the suspend button in the default state, a default state of the first graphic is circular. Then, correspondingly, in the suspend button presenting the effect of the dynamic change, the first graphic during the dynamic change is water droplet-shaped or quasi-elliptical. For example, as shown in
In one embodiment, to present the effect of the dynamic change of the first graphic, before the sliding operation ends or a deformation upper limit of the first graphic is not reached, the first graphic may present the effect of the dynamic change through a plurality of times of changes.
In one embodiment, the change of the first graphic may be, but is not limited to being, implemented by using the following several methods.
First Method:
In the dynamic change process of the first graphic, the first graphic changing each time is generated by the terminal device by performing a metaball algorithm on a reference graphic and an auxiliary circle.
A size of the reference graphic is the same as that of the first graphic in the default state, and a first circle center distance is less than a second circle center distance, where the first circle center distance is a distance between a circle center of the reference graphic and a circle center of the auxiliary circle when the first graphic changing for the Nth time is generated, and the second circle center distance is a distance between the circle center of the reference graphic and the circle center of the auxiliary circle when the first graphic changing for an (N+1)th time is generated, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
A size of the auxiliary circle may be specifically set based on a factor such as an actual scenario or the protrusion deformation degree of the first graphic.
In the metaball algorithm, a distance between the circle center of the reference graphic and the circle center of the auxiliary circle each time the first graphic changes influences the protrusion deformation degree of the first graphic. Therefore, when a circle center distance between the reference graphic and the auxiliary circle each time the first graphic deforms is less than a circle center distance between the reference graphic and the auxiliary circle next time the first graphic deforms, a protrusion degree of the first graphic that is generated due to deformation next time may be higher than a protrusion degree of the first graphic that is generated due to deformation this time, so that when the first graphic presents the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, a longer sliding track indicates a higher protrusion degree of the first graphic.
In addition, a location of the first graphic that is generated through the metaball algorithm is related to a location of the reference graphic. Therefore, when the first graphic changing each time is not displaced, the location of the reference graphic also does not change; and when the first graphic changing each time is displaced, the location of the reference graphic also changes. However, it should be noted that when the first graphic changing each time is displaced, and when the first graphic changing for a first time is generated, the location of the reference graphic is the same as that of the first graphic.
An example is used, by using the accompanying drawings, for describing generation of the first graphic by using the first method, as shown in
In this example, the suspend button includes two graphic elements. The suspend button in the default state is shown in figure (1) in
When the finger performs the sliding operation (where the sliding direction is downward) on the suspend button, the finger moves from the location A to a location A′, and a sliding distance of the finger is a, as shown in figure (2).
The terminal device generates and displays the first graphic during the dynamic change in response to the sliding operation.
When the terminal device generates the first graphic changing for the first time, as shown in figure (3), a location of the circle center of the reference graphic (whose size is the same as the size of the first graphic in the default state) is determined as B, and a location of the circle center of the auxiliary circle required for the change this time is determined as C, where a direction from B to C is the sliding direction of the finger. The terminal device performs the metaball algorithm on the reference graphic and the auxiliary circle that are determined during the change this time, to generate the first graphic changing for the first time, as shown in figure (4).
When the finger continues to slide, to be specific, the finger slides from the location A′ to a location A″, and when the terminal device generates the first graphic changing for a second time, as shown in figure (5), a location of the circle center of the reference graphic is determined as B′, and a location of the circle center of the auxiliary circle required for the change this time is determined as C′. To be specific, compared with the change last time, the location of the circle center of the reference graphic travels b, and the location of the circle center of the auxiliary circle travels c. The terminal device performs the metaball algorithm on the reference graphic and the auxiliary circle that are determined during the change this time, to generate the first graphic changing for the second time, as shown in figure (6).
Subsequently, the finger continues to slide. The terminal device may determine locations of the reference graphic and the auxiliary circle still based on the foregoing method, to determine the first graphic changing each time, until the finger no longer slides and the sliding operation ends, or until the deformation upper limit of the first graphic is reached. For specific steps, refer to the foregoing steps. Details are not described herein again.
It should be noted that because in the first method, the first circle center distance is less than the second circle center distance, a distance from B′ to C′ is greater than a distance from B to C. In addition, to ensure that the generated first graphic is water droplet-shaped, the distance between the circle center of the reference graphic and the circle center of the auxiliary circle that is determined each time the first graphic changes is less than a first threshold; and compared with a change last time, a circle center moving distance (for example, b) of the reference graphic is less than a second threshold, and a circle center moving distance (for example, c) of the auxiliary circle is less than a third threshold.
Second Method:
In the dynamic change process of the first graphic, the first graphic changing for the first time is generated by the terminal device by performing stretching processing on a first part of the first graphic in the default state, and the first graphic changing for an Mth time is generated by the terminal device by performing stretching processing on the first part of the first graphic changing for an (M−1)th time.
The first part of the first graphic in the default state is one part that is in two parts into which the first graphic in the default state is divided based on a division line perpendicular to the sliding direction and that is located in the direction opposite to the sliding direction relative to the division line, where M is an integer greater than 2.
In one embodiment, in the dynamic change process of the first graphic, the first graphic changing for the first time is generated by the terminal device by performing compression processing on a second part of the first graphic in the default state, and the first graphic changing for the Mth time is generated by the terminal device by performing compression processing on the second part of the first graphic changing for the (M−1)th time.
The second part of the first graphic in the default state is a part other than the first part in the two parts into which the first graphic in the default state is divided.
An example is used, by using the accompanying drawings, for describing generation of the first graphic by using the second method. An example in which the suspend button is shown in figure (1) in
When a finger performs the sliding operation (where the sliding direction is downward) on the suspend button, and when the finger moves, as shown in figure (1), the terminal device determines the division line of the first graphic, where the division line is perpendicular to the sliding direction. The first graphic in the default state is divided into two parts based on the division line. As shown in the figure, one part in the direction opposite to the sliding direction relative to the division line is the first part, and the other part in the sliding direction relative to the division line is the second part.
The terminal device stretches the first part by a first proportion, and compresses the second part by a second proportion (where the first proportion and the second proportion may be the same or different, and in the example shown in figure (2), the first proportion and the second proportion are both 10%), to generate the first graphic changing for the first time, as shown in figure (3). In actual applications, to enable the first graphic to present a gradient effect, the first proportion and the second proportion may be set to a value pair for comparison.
When the finger continues to slide, the terminal device stretches the first part changing last time by a third proportion, and compresses the second part changing last time by a fourth proportion, to generate the first graphic changing for a second time, as shown in figure (4). The third proportion and the first proportion may be the same or different, and the fourth proportion and the second proportion may be the same or different. This is not limited in this application.
Subsequently, the finger continues to slide. The terminal device may stretch the first part and compress the second part still based on the foregoing method, to determine the first graphic changing each time, until the finger no longer slides and the sliding operation ends, or until the deformation upper limit of the first graphic is reached. For specific steps, refer to the foregoing steps. Details are not described herein again.
According to the foregoing method, when the user performs the sliding operation on the suspend button, the suspend button may present a water droplet shape or a quasi-ellipse, so that user experience is closer to that in the physical world.
In one embodiment, when the second graphic is further displayed in the suspend button, and when the suspend button is in the default state, a whole of the first graphic covers the second graphic. An area surrounded by an outer outline of the second graphic is greater than an area surrounded by an outer outline of the first graphic.
In one embodiment, in a process in which the first graphic presents the effect of the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, the whole or a part of the first graphic covers the second graphic. To be specific, the changing first graphic cannot go beyond the outer outline of the second graphic.
When the first graphic and the second graphic are displayed in the suspend button, to ensure that in the suspend button presenting the effect of the dynamic change, the whole or the part of the first graphic covers the second graphic, this embodiment of this application provides two implementations.
First Implementation:
The first graphic and the second graphic of the suspend button are respectively displayed at different display layers (similar to image layers). To be specific, the first graphic is displayed at a first display layer, the second graphic is displayed at a second display layer, and the first display layer is located above the second display layer. An outline of the first display layer is the same as the outer outline of the first graphic, and an outline of the second display layer is the same as the outer outline of the second graphic.
When the suspend button is in the default state, a whole of the first display layer covers the second display layer.
In the process in which the first graphic presents the effect of the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, the whole or a part of the first display layer covers the second display layer, so that in the process in which the first graphic presents the effect of the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, the whole or the part of the first graphic covers the second graphic.
Second Implementation:
The terminal device obtains a plurality of to-be-displayed image frames corresponding to an effect of a dynamic change that the whole or the part of the first graphic covers the second graphic in the process in which the first graphic presents the effect of the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, and sequentially displays the plurality of image frames, so that in the process in which the first graphic presents the effect of the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, the effect of the dynamic change that the whole or the part of the first graphic covers the second graphic is achieved.
In one embodiment, the plurality of image frames are obtained through changing based on a group of image frames. A plurality of image frames are obtained through changing based on a group of image frames. In one embodiment, a group of image frames are pre-generated. The group of image frames include image frames corresponding to an effect achieved when the first graphic moves in a first direction (e.g., the image frames visually include a first image and a second image). Then, angles of to-be-displayed images in a next frame are determined based on touch data when another direction needs to be displayed (because a touch track may be in any direction). Then, angle adjustment is performed on the image frames corresponding to the first direction, so that a current to-be-displayed image frame is obtained and displayed.
In this embodiment, only image frames corresponding to moving in one direction are pre-stored, and image frames at any angle do not need to be stored. Therefore, relatively small memory is occupied.
In one embodiment, in the process in which the first graphic presents the effect of the dynamic change along with the sliding track of the sliding operation, a dynamic change generated when the second graphic is stretched in the direction opposite to the sliding direction occurs on the second graphic. In one embodiment, protrusion deformation may also occur on the second graphic in the direction opposite to the sliding direction.
Similar to the change of the first graphic, when the second graphic is also circular, the second graphic during a dynamic change may also be water droplet-shaped or quasi-elliptical. For a method for generating the second graphic changing each time, refer to the method for generating the changing first graphic. Details are not described herein again.
In addition, when a dynamic change generated due to stretching occurs on each of the first graphic and the second graphic, a protrusion deformation degree of the second graphic may be less than the protrusion deformation degree of the first graphic.
In one embodiment, the second graphic may not be displaced along with the sliding track, but fixed at a location. In this way, during the dynamic change of the first graphic, an effect that the first graphic (for example, a small circle) moves relative to the second graphic (for example, a large circle) may be presented.
In one embodiment, the dynamic change of the first graphic further includes the displacement of the first graphic that is generated along with the sliding track.
When the first graphic is displaced, the terminal device may trigger, based on a displacement distance of the first graphic and a location of the displaced first graphic, an instruction corresponding to performing of the sliding operation. To be specific, when the displacement of the first graphic that is generated along with the sliding track of the sliding operation exceeds a specified distance or the first graphic moves to a specified location, the terminal device executes the instruction corresponding to the sliding operation. In one embodiment, when the displacement of the first graphic that is generated along with the sliding track of the sliding operation exceeds the specified distance or the first graphic moves to the specified location, the terminal device may further display the suspend button restored to the default state.
In one embodiment, when the user performs the sliding operation on the suspend button to drag the suspend button on the touch display screen, the second graphic needs to be displaced. When the second graphic is displaced, the first graphic is correspondingly displaced, and a distance and a direction of the displacement of the first graphic are basically the same as those of the displacement of the second graphic. In this way, the user can observe that the first graphic and the second graphic in the suspend button are simultaneously displaced.
In one embodiment, when the first graphic and/or the second graphic is displaced, the terminal device further needs to detect whether a factor, for example, a keyboard, a navigation bar, or a screen edge, that cannot normally display the suspend button exists at a location of the displaced first graphic and/or second graphic. If the factor exists, the terminal device restores the location of the first graphic and/or the second graphic to a location before displacement or a touch operation this time, to be specific, a location at which no foregoing factor exists.
In one embodiment, before the terminal device detects the sliding operation, the method further includes:
detecting, by the terminal device, a first touch and hold operation, where the first touch and hold operation is an operation of the target object on the suspend button for a touch time exceeding first duration; and
enabling, by the terminal device in response to the detected first touch and hold operation, a function of responding to the sliding operation.
According to the foregoing method, the user may enable, through the first touch and hold operation, the terminal device to enable the function of responding to the sliding operation, to avoid a power consumption waste and a resource waste that result from enabling of the function by the terminal device for a long time.
In one embodiment, when the terminal device detects that the sliding operation ends, the terminal device displays the suspend button restored to the default state.
In one embodiment, when the terminal device displays the suspend button whose state is to be restored, the suspend button changing last time may be restored to the suspend button in the default state through a transition animation, so that a change of the suspend button may have a transition process, and a problem of relatively poor visual effect of the user due to abrupt and direct replacement is avoided.
In one embodiment, when the terminal device detects that the sliding operation ends, the terminal device executes an instruction corresponding to the sliding operation.
In one embodiment, the user may set the instruction corresponding to the sliding operation. For example, in a case of the sliding operation (e.g., the sliding direction, a sliding distance, the sliding track, or a sliding force or speed, etc.), the sliding operation corresponds to an instruction of returning to the home screen. For another example, when the sliding operation is differentiated based on the sliding direction, the terminal device further need to determine the sliding direction of the sliding operation, and determine an instruction corresponding to the sliding direction. The instruction corresponding to the sliding direction may be, for example, an instruction of returning to the home screen that corresponds to sliding leftward or an instruction of performing a return operation that corresponds to sliding upward.
In one embodiment, when the terminal device detects a tap operation or a second touch and hold operation, the terminal device controls, in response to the detected tap operation or second touch and hold operation, the suspend button to first present an effect that the first graphic is zoomed in or zoomed out by a specified proportion, and then displays the suspend button restored to the default state, where
the second touch and hold operation is an operation of the target object on the suspend button for a touch time exceeding second duration.
For example, as shown in
In addition, it should be further noted that when the second graphic is further displayed in the suspend button, before the terminal device displays the suspend button restored to the default state, the terminal device may also first display the second graphic zoomed in or zoomed out by the specified proportion.
In one embodiment, to differentially respond to the tap operation and the second touch and hold operation, the first graphic is zoomed in or zoomed out by different proportions, and/or the second graphic is zoomed in or zoomed out by different proportions.
According to the foregoing method, the suspend button may notify, through a zoom effect, the user that the suspend button has been tapped or touched and held. Therefore, according to the method, the display flexibility of the suspend button and the visual experience of the user can also be improved.
In one embodiment, when the first graphic is zoomed in or zoomed out by the specified proportion, a visual parameter of the first graphic changes, where the visual parameter is at least one of the following: transparency, color, brightness, and gradation.
Similarly, when the second graphic is zoomed in or zoomed out, a visual parameter of the second graphic may also change. This is not limited in this application.
In one embodiment, after the terminal device detects the tap operation or the second touch and hold operation, the terminal device executes an instruction corresponding to the tap operation or the second touch and hold operation.
Currently, the terminal device displays an interface on the touch display screen by using a display area view. The terminal device may add the view to the touch display screen by using a window manager based on an interface that needs to be displayed. The suspend button needs to suspend on the home screen of the terminal device or the uppermost layer of the program interface. Therefore, a view in which the suspend button is located is different from a view in which the home screen or the program interface is located.
In addition, because in this embodiment of this application, the suspend button may present a dynamic change due to stretching in any direction, to ensure a display effect of the suspend button, an area of the view in which the suspend button is located needs to be greater than an area of the suspend button in the default state. However, an excessively large area of the view in which the suspend button causes a problem that the user cannot see content on a home screen or a program interface that is covered by the view, and cannot continue to operate the content. This causes lower user experience.
To display the suspend button presenting the dynamic effect on the touch display screen of the terminal device, and ensure user experience, in this embodiment of this application, the suspend button occupies two layers of views. In one embodiment, the suspend button includes a first display area and a second display area, where the first display area is used to display the suspend button, the second display area is set to be transparent (e.g., no content is displayed in the second display area), and an area of the first display is greater than an area of the second display area. The second display area is used by the terminal device to determine an operation location of the suspend button. In one embodiment, the terminal device detects, by detecting whether the target object touches a location of the second display area, whether the target object performs a touch operation on the suspend button.
In one embodiment, S302 includes:
detecting, by the terminal device, a touch operation of the target object at a location of the second display area on the touch display screen, to detect the touch operation of the target object on the suspend button.
In one embodiment, the area of the second display area is basically consistent with an area surrounded by an outer outline of the suspend button in the default state. For example, as shown in
In one embodiment, on the touch display screen, the first display area is located above the second display area.
It should be further noted that when the suspend button moves (e.g., a case in which the first graphic is not deformed and the first graphic and the second graphic move together), the first display area and the second display area are also correspondingly displaced synchronously.
In this embodiment, the second display area displays no content. Therefore, setting the second display area has relatively small impact on power consumption and performance of the terminal device.
By using the method provided in this embodiment of this application, when the terminal device detects that the target object performs the sliding operation on the suspend button, the terminal device may control the suspend button to present the effect of the dynamic change. In this way, the suspend button may present a plurality of display forms. Therefore, according to the method, the display flexibility of the suspend button can be improved, so that the visual experience of the user is improved.
