Detailed ways

In order to solve the problem in the prior art that the user directly enters the unlocked state of the user interface after unlocking without other related operations, resulting in a single function of the unlocking operation, the present invention provides a method for activating the user interface of the terminal device and the terminal device. The following is combined with the attached Figures and Examples further describe the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

method embodiment

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for activating a user interface of a terminal device is provided. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method for activating a user interface of a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2 , according to an embodiment of the present invention The user interface activation method of the terminal device includes the following processing:

Step 201, when the terminal device is in the interface lock state, display the lock interface on the touch-sensitive display, wherein the lock interface is provided with a trigger area and one or more interface elements of the functions of the terminal device;

Specifically, the touch-sensitive display can also be called a touch screen, which provides both an output interface and an input interface between the terminal device and the user, and the touch screen controller receives/sends electrical signals from/to the touch screen. The touch screen displays visual output to the user, which can include text, graphics, video, and any combination thereof. Touch screens also impart tactile and/or tactile contact to accept user input. The touch screen forms a touch-sensitive surface that accepts user input. The touchscreen and touchscreen controller detect contact on the touchscreen (and any movement or termination of the touch), and translate the detected contact into an interaction with a user interface object displayed on the touchscreen, such as one or more softkeys . Preferably, the point of contact between the touch screen and the user corresponds to one or more fingers of the user.

It should be noted that the above trigger area is a graphical interactive user interface object with which the user interacts to unlock the terminal device. There may be one or more interface elements, and an interface element refers to a user interface object with a function of the terminal device, for example, an application icon representing a function of making a phone call, an application icon representing a function of sending and receiving emails, and the like.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the interface element is at least one of the following: the application icon corresponding to the unlock function, the application icon represented by the mute function, the application icon represented by the dial function, the application icon represented by the information function, and the application icon represented by the calendar function. The application icon represented by the browser function, the application icon represented by the music function, the application icon represented by the video function, the application icon represented by the camera function, etc., that is to say, as long as the terminal device is installed Once an application is selected, an icon representing the application can be set on the lock interface.

In practical applications, preferably, a trigger area is set on the locking interface, and the scope of the trigger area is represented by lines or patterns, and one or more interface elements can be set around the trigger area. The relative positions of the interface elements and the triggering area are not limited, and the interface elements can surround the triggering area (for example, in the form of a turntable), or be arranged sequentially below the triggering area (for example, in the form of a nine-square grid).

Step 202, detecting contact with the touch-sensitive display, if the detected contact position is within the range of the trigger area, activating the trigger area, and moving the trigger area along the detected contact track;

Specifically, in the embodiments of the present invention, contact with a touch-sensitive display can be understood as the movement of an object/accessory (such as a writing pen) that is in contact with the touch-sensitive display, for example, including contact with a certain position on the touch-sensitive display. Contact (initiating gesture), moving the point of contact to another location on the touch-sensitive display while maintaining continuous contact with the touchscreen, and breaking contact (completing the gesture) at the other location described above. The above process can be understood as the detected contact track.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned contact may include: one or more light touches on the touch-sensitive display, maintaining continuous contact with the touch-sensitive display, moving the position of the contact point while maintaining continuous contact, breaking the contact, or Any combination of the above contact methods.

In step 202, if a contact with the touch-sensitive display is detected and it is determined that the detected contact position is within the range of the trigger area, for example, one or more light touches within the range of the trigger area are detected. Subsequently, the trigger area is activated, and when the departure area is activated, different lines or patterns may be used to indicate that the trigger area has been activated, but no prompt may also be given. After activating the trigger area, the trigger area is moved along the detected contact trajectory. For example, the user touches the touch-sensitive display lightly in order to activate the trigger area, and moves the position of the contact point while maintaining contact with the touch-sensitive display, that is, forms a contact track, and the trigger area will follow the detected contact track. Move accordingly.

Step 203, if it is determined according to the detected contact that the trigger area has moved to the position of a certain interface element, activate the terminal device to the functional interface corresponding to the interface element and switch the terminal device to the interface unlocked state, otherwise, activate the terminal device Stay in the interface locked state.

Specifically, if the trigger area moves to the location of a certain interface element (that is, the trigger area coincides or partially overlaps with the location of the interface element), it means that the user wants to execute the function corresponding to the interface element while unlocking the terminal device. . Therefore, in the above situation, it is necessary to activate the terminal device to the functional interface corresponding to the interface element and switch the terminal device to the interface unlocked state. For example, the terminal is unlocked and the SMS function interface is opened at the same time, or the terminal is unlocked and the phone function interface is opened at the same time.

If the trigger area is moved to another position of the touch-sensitive display, and no interface elements are set at this position, it means that the contact may be a user’s misoperation. Cause trouble for users to misuse.

In practical applications, when the terminal device is in the interface-locked state, once an initial contact is detected, the terminal device begins a process of transitioning to the interface-unlocked state, and continues to transition during continuous contact. If the user just taps the trigger area, or if the user does not move the trigger area to the position of an interface element, the terminal device will give up the conversion and remain in the interface lock state. If the user moves the trigger area to an interface element position of the interface element, the terminal device completes the transition to the interface unlocked state, and displays the function interface corresponding to the interface element.

Preferably, the application icon (for example, the application icon of Angry Birds) of the application program (such as APP, etc.) installed in the terminal device can be set as the interface element, if it is determined according to the detected contact that the trigger area has moved to the application The location of the icon triggers the running of the application program corresponding to the interface element (for example, directly running the Angry Birds program).

Preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, the positions of the interface elements on the locking interface can also be reset or exchanged. Specifically, detect the contact with the touch-sensitive display, if the detected contact position corresponds to the interface element, then activate the interface element, and move the interface element along the detected contact track; if it is determined according to the detected contact that the interface element moves When the predetermined position is reached, the position of the interface element is reset to the predetermined position. It should be noted that the above predetermined position refers to the position where no other interface elements or trigger areas are set in the touch-sensitive display, that is, the position is empty, and No other content is set, and the predetermined position needs to conform to the preset interface element arrangement rule. For example, when the interface elements are arranged in a fan shape around the trigger area, the predetermined position is an empty position that conforms to the fan shape arrangement rule.

In addition, if it is determined according to the detected contact that the interface element has moved to the position of other interface elements (that is, coincides or partially coincides with the position of other interface elements), the positions of the two interface elements are exchanged, or the The position of the interface element is set before the position of the moved interface element, and the positions of other corresponding interface elements are moved backward accordingly.

Preferably, in the implementation of the present invention, interface elements can also be deleted or added. Specifically, detecting contact with the touch-sensitive display, if the detected contact position corresponds to the interface element, then activating the interface element; if determining the activation time of the position where the interface element is activated according to the detected contact exceeds a predetermined time (for example , when the original position or displacement is less than a predetermined threshold, and the contact time of a certain interface element is greater than 2 seconds), then the deletion function interface element (for example, a trash can icon) will pop up on the lock interface, if the interface element is determined according to the detected contact track Move to the position where the functional interface element is deleted, and the interface element will be deleted from the locked interface.

In addition, if the detected contact position corresponds to the added function interface element (for example, the added function interface element can be represented by a "+" button), then activate the added function interface element, and obtain the interface of the function of the new terminal device element, and add the obtained new interface elements to the lock interface. For example, it is detected that the user clicks the "+" button on the interface, and the existing software on the mobile phone can be added. For example, after adding stock software, the software can be opened directly after being unlocked by dragging the software icon in the future.

Preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, the background of the locked interface can also be set. In the prior art, the background of the locked interface is static, but in the embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal device is in the interface unlocked state , you can set the background of the locked interface to display the dynamic information that needs to be displayed currently; when the terminal device is in the interface locked state, the background will display the set dynamic information, and the dynamic information displayed on the background of the locked interface will be displayed in real time. refresh. In the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned dynamic information includes: stock market information, real-time road condition information, or mailbox information. For example, if the user sets the weather dynamic information as the background of the lock interface, then on the lock interface, the weather information of the day will be dynamically displayed, and the weather information will be refreshed in real time. The user does not need to open the weather software in the terminal device. You can get the latest weather information when the interface is locked.

In addition, preferably, when the terminal device is in the interface locked state, if it is detected that the terminal device has unprocessed information (for example, missed calls, unread short messages, and unread emails, etc.), then in a predetermined form (for example, Bubble form or graphic form, etc.) on the locked interface to prompt the user to have unprocessed information (for example, to prompt the user to have 2 missed calls, 3 unread short messages, etc.); when the terminal device is in the interface locked state, if the detection When the terminal device is charging, the battery charging information will be displayed on the lock interface (the above charging information includes: battery charging status, battery charge level, etc.); when the terminal device is in the interface locked state, if the music playing in the terminal device is detected If the music player is running, the shortcut operation interface of the music player is displayed on the lock interface (the shortcut operation interface includes: play/pause button, previous song button, next song button, etc.).

Preferably, when the terminal device is in the interface unlocked state, the functional modules to be displayed are set on the locked interface according to the user's operation; the functional modules include at least one of the following: a scene mode switching module and an online mode switching module. When the terminal device is in the interface locked state, the corresponding functional modules are displayed on the locked interface, and corresponding functions are executed according to the user's operation on the functional modules. For example, when in flight mode, the lock interface can directly display the current state of flight mode, and can quickly switch to normal mode. In addition, the situation mode can also be displayed on the lock interface, and the desired situation can be quickly switched.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a method for activating a user interface of a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 3, as above, after the contact is detected, the screen is first lit, and when the contact track is detected, the trigger area is slid to the dial icon position, the dial interface will be displayed after unlocking; when the contact track is detected as sliding the trigger area to the position of the desktop icon, the main desktop will be displayed after unlocking; when the contact track is detected as sliding the trigger area to the position of the SMS icon, After the unlocking is completed, the SMS interface will be displayed.

To sum up, with the help of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, after unlocking, you can directly open functional interfaces such as dialing and SMS, which enriches the unlocking function; the background of the lock screen is not only a picture, but also displays dynamic and practical information. Enhanced practicability and interest; the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention can also customize the function, display mode, and display position of the unlocking interface, which greatly improves the user's experience and makes the user's operation faster, natural, and smooth.

For example, the user touches the touch-sensitive display lightly in order to activate the trigger area, and moves the position of the contact point while maintaining contact with the touch-sensitive display, that is, forms a contact track, and the trigger area will follow the detected contact track. Move accordingly.

If the trigger area moves to the location of a certain interface element (that is, the trigger area coincides or partially overlaps with the location of the interface element), it means that the user wants to execute the function corresponding to the interface element while unlocking the terminal device.
