Description

Navigation operation method and electronic equipment

The present application claims priority from a chinese patent application filed on 30/04/2019 under the name "a method of operating with curved screen" by the national intellectual property office under the application number 201910358348.0, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of electronic devices, and in particular, to a navigation operation method and an electronic device.

Background

The mobile phone generally provides a navigation function for a user to quickly open a specific interface, such as a desktop (or called home screen), a previous interface of a current interface, a multitasking interface, and the like. Currently, the navigation function can be realized in the following three ways.

In the method 1, as shown in fig. 1 (a), three physical keys are arranged on the mobile phone, which are respectively: a back key 101, a home key 102, and a recent key 103.

Mode 2, as shown in fig. 1 (b), the navigation bar 100 is displayed on the touch panel of the mobile phone. The navigation bar 100 includes three virtual keys, a return key 104, a home key 105 and a last key 106. In the mode 1 and the mode 2, the user can trigger the mobile phone to open the corresponding interface by clicking the corresponding key. Taking (b) in fig. 1 as an example, the user clicks the return key 104, and the mobile phone displays the interface at the previous stage of the current interface. The user clicks the home key 105 and the handset displays the desktop. The user clicks the last button 106 and the cell phone displays a multitasking interface.

Mode 3, gesture navigation. And the user triggers the mobile phone to open the corresponding interface by inputting the corresponding gesture. For example, as shown in fig. 2, the finger of the user slides into the touch screen from the left edge (or the right edge) of the touch screen (as shown by the operation trace 201 in fig. 2), and the mobile phone displays the interface at the previous level of the current interface. The user's finger slides up from the lower edge of the touch screen (as shown by the operation trace 202 in fig. 2), and the cell phone displays the desktop. The user's finger slides over the lower edge web of the touch screen and stays there for a period of time (as shown by the operational trace 203 in fig. 2), and the cell phone displays a multitasking interface.

However, in the above-described modes 1 and 2, the positions of the keys are fixed. In the above-described mode 3, the finger movement distance is large when the user inputs a gesture. These all can make the navigation function inefficient, resulting in poor human-computer interaction performance.

The methods in the following embodiments may be implemented in an electronic device having the above hardware structure. For convenience of description, the electronic device is a mobile phone with a curved screen as shown in fig. 3.

Generally, when a user holds a curved-screen mobile phone, the fingers of the user touch the arc area on the side of the curved-screen. In the following embodiments, the curved-surface-screen mobile phone is held vertically by the right hand of the user, and the curved-surface-screen mobile phone is in a vertical-screen state. For example, as shown in fig. 5 (a), a user holds a curved-screen mobile phone with his right hand. As shown in fig. 5 (b), the thumb of the right hand of the user makes contact with the arc region of the right side of the curved screen, and the contact point is referred to as contact point 1. Other fingers of the right hand of the user can contact with the radian area of the left side edge of the curved screen, and the number of the contact points can be 1-4. In fig. 5, the other fingers of the right hand of the user have 4 contact points with the arc area on the left side of the curved screen, which are respectively contact point 2, contact point 3, contact point 4 and contact point 5. Of course, other fingers of the user's right hand may not make contact with the arc area of the left side of the curved screen.

In some embodiments of the application, the navigation function of the mobile phone can be realized by utilizing the characteristic that when a user holds the curved-screen mobile phone, fingers can contact the arc area of the side edge of the curved-screen mobile phone.

In some embodiments, with reference to fig. 5, when the user holds the curved-screen mobile phone with the right hand, the thumb of the right hand may be used to perform a corresponding operation to implement a navigation function of the curved-screen mobile phone, that is, to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display a corresponding interface, such as a previous interface, a desktop, or a multitasking interface of the current interface. The multitasking interface may include an identifier of an application running in the background of the curved-screen mobile phone or an application used by the user most recently, such as an application icon and an application thumbnail.

When the navigation function is realized, interfaces displayed by the curved-surface screen mobile phone in response to different operations can be different. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, in response to different operations performed by a user, an interface displayed by the curved-screen mobile phone may be predefined or configured in the curved-screen mobile phone in advance, or may be set by the user. That is to say, the interfaces displayed by the mobile phone with the curved screen triggered by different operations may be predefined or preconfigured, or may be set by the user. If the information is predefined or pre-configured in the curved-screen mobile phone, the curved-screen mobile phone can display prompt information for prompting a user to execute different operations to trigger an interface correspondingly displayed by the curved-screen mobile phone. For example, the curved-screen mobile phone may display the prompt information when the mobile phone is started, or may display the prompt information when the user opens the function of viewing navigation. If the user setting is carried out, a setting interface can be provided for the user to set an interface which can trigger the curved-surface screen mobile phone to display when different operations are executed.

As an example, in conjunction with fig. 5, when a user holds a curved screen mobile phone in the right hand, the thumb of the user's right hand may make contact with the arc area on the right side of the curved screen.

The user can perform operation 1 using the thumb of the right hand (this operation 1 may be the first operation in this application). When the curved-surface-screen mobile phone receives the operation 1 of the user, the curved-surface-screen mobile phone can display a corresponding interface as a response to the operation 1, for example, the curved-surface-screen mobile phone displays a previous interface of a current interface. The operation 1 may be a sliding operation 1 (the sliding operation 1 may be a first sliding operation in this application), where a starting point of the sliding operation 1 is a curved screen side, such as a right-side arc region, and a sliding direction is directed to a lower side of the curved screen.

For example, as shown in fig. 6 (a), the curved-screen mobile phone currently displays a first interface, such as a setting interface 601 of a wireless local area network. When the user wants to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display a second interface, such as the upper-level interface of the setting interface 601, as shown in (a) of fig. 6, when the user holds the curved-screen mobile phone in the right hand, operation 1 may be performed using the thumb of the right hand, that is, the user may perform a sliding operation in which the sliding direction is downward in the arc area on the right side of the curved screen using the thumb of the right hand (e.g., a sliding track 602 shown in (a) of fig. 6). In response to the operation 1, as shown in (b) of fig. 6, the curved-screen mobile phone may display a previous level interface of the setting interface 601, e.g., a home interface 603 of the setting application. That is, when the curved-screen mobile phone detects that the finger of the user slides downward in the arc area of the side (e.g., the right side) of the curved screen, the curved-screen mobile phone may display the previous interface of the current interface in response.

The user may also perform operation 2 using the thumb of the right hand (this operation 2 may be the second operation in this application). When the curved-screen mobile phone receives the operation 2 of the user, the curved-screen mobile phone may display a corresponding interface in response to the operation 2, such as a desktop (or a main screen) displayed by the curved-screen mobile phone. The above operation 2 may be a long press operation.

For example, as shown in fig. 7 (a), the curved screen mobile phone currently displays a first interface, such as a WeChat receipt and payment interface 701. When the user wants to trigger the curved screen mobile phone to display the desktop, as shown in fig. 7 (a), when the user holds the curved screen mobile phone with the right hand, the thumb of the right hand may be used to perform operation 2, that is, the user may perform a long-press operation in the arc area on the right side of the curved screen with the thumb of the right hand. In response to this operation 2, the curved-screen mobile phone may display a desktop 702 as shown in (b) of fig. 7. That is, when the curved-screen mobile phone detects a long-press operation of a finger of a user in an arc region of a side (e.g., a right side) of the curved screen, the curved-screen mobile phone may display the desktop in response.

The user may also perform operation 3 using the thumb of the right hand (this operation 3 may be the third operation in this application). When the curved-surface-screen mobile phone receives the operation 3 of the user, the curved-surface-screen mobile phone can display a corresponding interface as a response to the operation 3, for example, the curved-surface-screen mobile phone displays a multi-task interface. The operation 3 may be a sliding operation 2 (the sliding operation 2 may be a second sliding operation in this application), where a starting point of the sliding operation 2 is a radian area of a first side, such as a right side, of the curved screen, and a sliding direction is directed to a second side, such as a left side, of the curved screen.

For example, as shown in fig. 8 (a), the curved-screen mobile phone currently displays a first interface, such as the interface 801 of the music playing application. When the user wants to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display the multitasking interface, as shown in (a) of fig. 8, when the user holds the curved-screen mobile phone in the right hand, operation 3 may be performed using the thumb of the right hand, i.e., the user may perform a sliding operation in which the sliding direction points to the left side (e.g., a sliding trajectory 802 shown in (a) of fig. 8) starting from the arc area of the right side of the curved screen using the thumb of the right hand. In response to this operation 3, the curved-screen mobile phone may display a multitasking interface 803 as shown in (b) of fig. 8. That is, when the curved-screen mobile phone detects that the finger of the user starts sliding towards the inside of the curved screen from the arc area on the side (for example, the left side) of the curved screen, the curved-screen mobile phone can display the multi-task interface in response.

It should be noted that, the operation 1, the operation 2, and the operation 3 may be other operations besides the sliding operation or the long-press operation described in the above example, such as a double-click operation, and the embodiment is not limited in particular herein.

In other embodiments, in order to prevent misoperation and improve the use experience of the user, the curved-screen mobile phone may start the navigation mode according to the operation of the user. In the navigation mode, the characteristic that when a user holds the curved-screen mobile phone, fingers can contact the radian area of the side edge of the curved-screen mobile phone is utilized to realize the navigation function of the mobile phone.

As an example, in conjunction with fig. 5, when a user holds a curved screen mobile phone in the right hand, the thumb of the user's right hand may make contact with the arc area on the right side of the curved screen. The user can perform operation 4 using the thumb of the right hand (this operation 4 may be the fourth operation in this application). In response to this operation 4, the curved-screen handset may initiate a navigation mode. In the navigation mode, the user can use the thumb of the right hand to execute corresponding operation so as to realize the navigation function of the curved-surface-screen mobile phone, namely, the curved-surface-screen mobile phone is triggered to display a corresponding interface.

The operation 4 may be a slide operation, a single click operation, a double click operation, a long press operation, a press operation, or the like. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the operation 4 for triggering the curved-screen mobile phone to start the navigation mode may be predefined or preconfigured, or may be set by the user. In addition, the operation 4 and the above-described operation 1 may be a continuous operation in which the user's finger does not leave the curved screen. This operation 4 and the above-described operation 2 may be a continuous operation in which the user's finger does not leave the curved screen. This operation 4 and the above-described operation 3 may be a continuous operation in which the user's finger does not leave the curved screen.

For example, referring to fig. 5, operation 4 is a pressing operation. When the user holds the curved-screen mobile phone with the right hand, if the user wants to use the navigation function of the curved-screen mobile phone, the user can use the thumb of the right hand to perform the operation 4, that is, the user can use the thumb of the right hand to perform the pressing operation in the radian area of the right side edge of the curved-screen. The curved screen handset may initiate a navigation mode in response to operation 4. With reference to fig. 6, if the user wants to trigger the mobile phone with the curved screen to display the interface at the previous level of the current interface, as shown in (a) of fig. 6, the thumb of the right hand of the user may not leave the curved screen, and the operation 1 is continuously performed, that is, after the user uses the thumb of the right hand to perform the pressing operation in the arc area of the right side of the curved screen, the user continues to perform the sliding operation in the downward direction, that is, after the user can contact the arc area of the right side of the curved screen with the thumb of the right hand, the user keeps in contact with the curved screen and moves downward. In response to operation 1, the curved-screen cell phone may display a home interface 603 of the setup application, as shown in (b) of fig. 6. With reference to fig. 7, if the user wants to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display the desktop, as shown in (a) of fig. 7, the thumb of the right hand of the user may not leave the curved screen, and the operation 2 is continuously performed, that is, after the user uses the thumb of the right hand to perform the pressing operation in the arc area of the right side of the curved screen, the user may continue to perform the long-time pressing operation, that is, after the user may use the thumb of the right hand to contact the arc area of the right side of the curved screen, the user may keep in contact with the curved screen and continue to press the curved screen. In response to operation 2, the curved-screen cell phone may display a desktop 702, as shown in fig. 7 (b). With reference to fig. 8, if the user wants to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display the multitask interface, as shown in (a) of fig. 8, the thumb of the right hand of the user may not leave the curved screen, and the operation 3 is continuously performed, that is, after the user uses the thumb of the right hand to perform the pressing operation in the arc region of the right side of the curved screen, the user may continue to perform the sliding operation in which the sliding direction points to the left side, that is, after the user may contact the arc region of the right side of the curved screen with the thumb of the right hand, the user may keep in contact with the curved screen and move in the direction pointing to the left side. In response to operation 3, the curved-screen handset may display a multitasking interface 803 as shown in fig. 8 (b).

Of course, the manner of triggering the curved-screen mobile phone to start the navigation mode may be other manners besides receiving the operation 4 executed by the user as described in the above embodiment. For example, a touchscreen handset initiates a navigation mode when a user-specific grip gesture is detected. If the specific holding gesture can be: one finger of the user is on one side (e.g., the left side) of the curved screen cell phone, and the other four (three, two, or one) fingers are on the other side (e.g., the right side) of the curved screen cell phone. As another example, the particular gripping gesture may be: one finger of the user is positioned at one side edge (such as the left side edge or the right side edge) of the curved screen mobile phone, and the other four fingers (three, two or one) are positioned at the back surface of the curved screen mobile phone (such as a sensor can be arranged at the back surface of the curved screen mobile phone to detect the contact condition of the finger of the user and the curved screen mobile phone). For another example, when the curved-screen mobile phone detects that the user presses two sides of the curved-screen mobile phone at the same time, the navigation mode is started. For another example, a physical or virtual button is arranged on the side of the mobile phone with the curved screen. And when the curved-surface screen mobile phone detects that the user operates the button, starting a navigation mode. In other embodiments, in order to prevent the misoperation, the curved-screen mobile phone may respond to the corresponding operation to display the corresponding interface only when receiving that the user performs the operation 1, the operation 2, or the operation 3 at the specific position of the curved-screen mobile phone. Taking the specific position as a specific area of the curved screen as an example, the edge of the specific area may be uneven, or a lamp may be disposed under the specific area to prompt the user to perform an operation in the specific area to implement a navigation function.

In some other embodiments, in conjunction with fig. 5, when the user holds the curved-screen mobile phone with the right hand, the user may perform a corresponding operation with the right hand to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display the operation menu. The operation menu can comprise a button for triggering the curved screen mobile phone to realize the navigation function. The user can trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display a corresponding interface, such as a previous interface, a desktop or a multi-task interface of the current interface, by operating the button in the operation menu.

The user may perform operation 5 using the thumb of the right hand (this operation 5 may be the first operation in this application). When the curved-screen mobile phone receives the operation 5 of the user, the curved-screen mobile phone can display a corresponding operation menu as a response to the operation 5. The above-described operation 5 may be a slide operation, a click operation, a long-press operation, a double-click operation, a press operation, or the like. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the operation 5 for triggering the curved-screen mobile phone to display the operation menu may be predefined or preconfigured, or may be set by the user.

For example, referring to fig. 9, operation 5 is taken as an example of the pressing operation. As shown in fig. 9 (a), the curved-screen mobile phone currently displays a first interface, such as a setting interface 901 of a wireless local area network. When the user wants to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display the operation menu, as shown in fig. 9 (a), when the user holds the curved-screen mobile phone with the right hand, the user may use the thumb of the right hand to perform the operation 5, that is, the user may use the thumb of the right hand to perform the pressing operation in the arc area on the right side of the curved-screen. In response to this operation 5, as shown in (b) in fig. 9, the curved-screen mobile phone may display an operation menu 902. For example, the operation menu 902 includes buttons for triggering the curved-screen mobile phone to implement a navigation function, such as a first button, e.g., "back" button 903, a second button, e.g., "back to the desktop" button 904, and a third button, e.g., "multitasking interface" button 905. The user operates the buttons in the operation menu 902, and can trigger the mobile phone with the curved screen to display the corresponding interface.

In some embodiments, a user may directly click a button in the operation menu 902 to trigger the mobile phone with the curved-surface screen to display a corresponding interface. Such as the user clicking on the "back" button 903 in the operations menu 902. In response to the click operation of the "back" button 903, the touchscreen handset may display a second interface, such as a previous interface of the settings interface 901 for the wireless local area network. As another example, the user may click on a "back to the desktop" button 904 of the operations menu 902. In response to a click operation of the "go back to desktop" button 904, the curved screen handset may display a desktop. Also for example, the user may click on the "multitasking interface" button 905 in the operation menu 902. In response to a click operation of the "multitasking interface" button 905, the curved screen cell phone may display a multitasking interface.

In other embodiments, the user may also continue to hold the holding gesture and perform the corresponding operation using the thumb of the right hand to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display the corresponding interface. For example, continuing with fig. 9, as shown in (b) of fig. 9, when the operation menu 902 is displayed on the curved-screen mobile phone, the first item of the operation menu 902, i.e., the "back" button 903, gets the focus.

If the user wants to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display the previous interface of the current interface, operation 6 (this operation 6 may be the second operation in this application) may be executed, for example, a long-press operation, to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display the previous interface of the current interface. Operations 6 and 5 may be consecutive operations in which the user's finger does not leave the curved screen. That is, after the user performs the above operation 5 using the thumb of the right hand, i.e., the pressing operation is performed in the arc region of the right side of the curved screen, the finger does not leave the curved screen, and the operation 6 is continuously performed, such as a long press operation, that is, after the user contacts the arc region of the right side of the curved screen using the thumb of the right hand, the contact with the curved screen is maintained and the pressing is continued. In response to the operation 6, the curved-screen mobile phone may display the previous interface of the current interface, that is, the previous interface of the setting interface 901 of the wireless lan.

If the user wants to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display the desktop or the multi-task interface, operation 7 (this operation 7 may be the third operation in this application), such as a sliding operation, may be performed, so that the corresponding button gets the focus. Operations 7 and 5 may be a continuous operation in which the user's finger does not leave the curved screen. That is, the user may continue to perform operation 7, such as a sliding operation, without the right thumb leaving the curved screen after performing operation 5 described above using the right thumb. Namely, after the user uses the thumb of the right hand to press the cambered area on the right side of the curved screen, the user continues to perform the sliding operation, namely, after the user can contact the cambered area on the right side of the curved screen by using the thumb of the right hand, the user can keep in contact with the curved screen and move. In this embodiment, as the user's finger slides, the focus moves on each button of the operation menu 902. For example, the slide locus of the slide operation is 906 as shown in (b) of fig. 9. As the user's finger slides, the focus may move from the first item, i.e., the "back" button 903, to the second item, i.e., the "back to the desktop" button 904, as shown in fig. 9 (c). If the user wants to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display the desktop, the above operation 6, such as a long-press operation, can be performed after the second item of the operation menu 902, i.e., the "go back to desktop" button 904, gets the focus. As shown in fig. 9 (d), the curved-screen cell phone may display a desktop 907 in response to this operation 6.

If the user wants to trigger the curved screen phone to display the multi-tasking interface, after performing operation 5 using the right thumb, the right thumb does not leave the curved screen, and operation 7, such as a sliding operation, continues until the focus moves from the first item, i.e., the "back" button 903, to the third item, i.e., the "multi-tasking interface" button 905. And performs the above-mentioned operation 6, such as a long press operation, after the third item of the operation menu 902, i.e., the "multitasking interface" button 905, obtains a focus. In response to this operation 6, the curved screen handset may display a multitasking interface.

The operation 6 and the operation 7 may be continuous operations in which the user's finger does not leave the curved screen.

After the user performs the operation 5, if the user does not want to use the navigation function of the curved-screen mobile phone, the user may perform an operation to cancel the navigation operation, that is, the curved-screen mobile phone may cancel the display of the operation menu 902. For example, the operation may be another operation such as a single click operation, which is different from the above-described operations 6 and 7. For another example, in the scenario where the operations 5 and 6, or the operations 5, 7 and 6 are continuous operations in which the user's finger does not leave the curved screen, if the user can directly lift the finger after performing the operation 5 to make the finger leave the curved screen, the curved-screen mobile phone can cancel the navigation operation.

Of course, the manner of triggering the curved-screen mobile phone to display the operation menu may be other manners besides receiving the operation 5 executed by the user as described in the above embodiment. For example, a curved-screen mobile phone displays an operation menu when a user-specific holding gesture is detected. For the description of the specific holding gesture, reference may be made to the detailed description of the corresponding content in other embodiments of the present application, which is not repeated herein. For another example, when the curved-screen mobile phone detects that the user presses two sides of the curved-screen mobile phone at the same time, the operation menu is displayed. For another example, a physical or virtual button is arranged on the side of the mobile phone with the curved screen. And when the curved-surface screen mobile phone detects that the user operates the button, displaying an operation menu.

In addition, it should be noted that, for the buttons included in the operation menu, the description in the above embodiment is only an example. In other embodiments, the operation menu may further include other buttons, such as a button for triggering the curved-screen mobile phone to turn on a voice assistant, in addition to the above-mentioned buttons for triggering the curved-screen mobile phone to implement a navigation function, such as a "back" button, a "desktop back" button, and a "multi-task interface" button. In still other embodiments, the operation menu may include identifications of some applications in the curved-screen mobile phone, such as icons and the like. The applications can be automatically added into the operation menu by the curved-screen mobile phone according to the use frequency or the recent use time of the user, or can be manually added into the operation menu by the user. In the case that the operation menu includes the identifiers of some applications in the curved-surface-screen mobile phone, by the method in the embodiment corresponding to fig. 9, after the identifier of the corresponding application in the operation menu obtains the focus, the user may trigger the curved-surface-screen mobile phone to open the application by executing the operation 6.

In other embodiments of the present application, when a user holds a curved-screen mobile phone with a single hand, such as the right hand, different fingers of the user's right hand may contact different locations on the side of the curved screen. The user can trigger the mobile phone with the curved screen to display the corresponding interface by using different fingers to execute operation at the corresponding positions.

In some embodiments, with reference to fig. 5, when the user holds the curved-screen mobile phone with the right hand, the user may use different fingers of the right hand to perform operations at different positions to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display a corresponding interface, such as a previous interface of a current interface, a desktop, a multitasking interface, a payment interface, a scanning interface, or the like.

When the curved-surface screen mobile phone is triggered to display the corresponding interface, the interfaces displayed by the curved-surface screen mobile phone responding to operations on different positions can be different. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, in response to the operations performed by the user's finger at different positions, the interface displayed by the curved-screen mobile phone may be predefined or pre-configured in the curved-screen mobile phone, or may be set by the user. That is to say, the interface displayed by the curved-screen mobile phone triggered by the operation at different positions may be predefined or preconfigured, or may be set by the user. If the information is predefined or pre-configured in the curved-screen mobile phone, the curved-screen mobile phone can display prompt information for prompting a user to execute operations at different positions to trigger interfaces correspondingly displayed by the curved-screen mobile phone. For example, the curved-screen mobile phone may display the prompt information when the mobile phone is started, or may display the prompt information when the user opens the function. If the mobile phone is set by the user, a setting interface can be provided for the user to set an interface which can trigger the display of the mobile phone with the curved screen to execute the operation at different positions. For example, a user can set different positions to execute operations according to own use habits, such as holding habits, and can trigger the corresponding interfaces displayed by the curved-screen mobile phone.

As an example, referring to fig. 5, when the user holds the curved-screen mobile phone in the right hand, the thumb of the user's right hand may contact with the arc area on the right side of the curved-screen, such as the contact point 1. For example, a contact point between the index finger and the radian area of the left side edge of the curved screen is called a contact point 5, a contact point between the middle finger and the radian area of the left side edge of the curved screen is called a contact point 4, a contact point between the ring finger and the radian area of the left side edge of the curved screen is called a contact point 3, and a contact point between the little finger and the radian area of the left side edge of the curved screen is called a contact point 2. The user uses fingers to execute operation at the corresponding positions of the contact points, and the curved-surface screen mobile phone can be triggered to display a corresponding interface. The operations performed by different fingers at corresponding positions may be the same or different. In addition, the operation may be a single click operation, a long press operation, a slide operation, a double click operation, or the like.

Referring to fig. 10, the same operations performed by different fingers at corresponding positions are taken as an example, and all the operations are long press operations. As shown in fig. 10 (a), the curved-screen mobile phone currently displays a setting interface 1001 of the wireless local area network.

While the user is holding the curved-screen phone in the right hand, a long press operation may be performed using the thumb of the right hand at the second location, such as contact point 1 above. As shown in fig. 10 (b), in response to the long press operation at the contact point 1, the curved-screen mobile phone may display a corresponding interface, such as a curved-screen mobile phone display desktop 1002.

The user may perform a long press operation using the index finger of the right hand at a first location, such as contact point 5 described above. As shown in (c) of fig. 10, in response to the long press operation at the contact point 5, the curved-screen mobile phone may display a corresponding interface, for example, the curved-screen mobile phone displays a previous interface to the current interface, for example, the main interface 1003 for setting an application.

The user may perform a long press operation at a third location, such as contact point 4 described above, using the middle finger of the right hand. As shown in fig. 10 (d), in response to the long press operation at contact 4, the curved screen handset may display a corresponding interface, such as the curved screen handset displaying a multitasking interface 1004.

The user can perform a long press operation at the above-described contact point 3 using the ring finger of the right hand. As shown in (e) of fig. 10, in response to the long press operation at the contact point 3, the curved-screen mobile phone may display a corresponding interface, such as a curved-screen mobile phone display payment interface 1005.

The user can perform a long press operation at the above-described contact point 2 using the small thumb of the right hand. As shown in fig. 10 (f), in response to the long press operation at the contact point 2, the curved-screen mobile phone may display a corresponding interface, such as the curved-screen mobile phone displaying a sweep interface 1006.

In some other embodiments, to prevent the misoperation and improve the user experience, the curved-screen mobile phone may start the operation mode (or referred to as the navigation mode) according to the operation of the user. In the operation mode, the mobile phone with the curved screen is triggered to display a corresponding interface according to different operation positions executed by fingers of a user.

With continued reference to fig. 5, while the user is holding the curved-screen phone in the right hand, the user may perform an operation using a finger of the right hand. In response to this operation, the curved screen handset may initiate an operational mode. In the operation mode, the user can use different fingers of the right hand to perform operation at corresponding positions so as to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display corresponding interfaces.

The operation is different from the operation of triggering the corresponding interface displayed by the curved-surface screen mobile phone, and can be sliding operation, clicking operation, double-clicking operation, long-time pressing operation and the like. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the operation for triggering the start operation mode of the curved-screen mobile phone may be predefined or preconfigured, or may be set by the user. In addition, the finger for executing the operation can be the same as or different from the finger for executing the operation of triggering the curved-surface screen mobile phone to display the corresponding interface. If the operating finger is the same as the finger for triggering the operation of displaying the corresponding interface on the curved-surface screen mobile phone, the operation of triggering the operation of displaying the corresponding interface on the curved-surface screen mobile phone can be continuous operation without leaving the curved-surface screen by the finger of the user.

For example, with reference to fig. 5, the operation for triggering the curved-screen mobile phone to start the operation mode is a single-click operation, and the operation for triggering the curved-screen mobile phone to display the corresponding interface is a long-press operation. When the user holds the curved-screen mobile phone in the right hand, a certain finger (such as the thumb) of the right hand can be used to perform a fourth operation, such as a clicking operation, at the fourth position, such as the contact point 1. The curved screen mobile phone can start the operation mode in response to the click operation. In this mode of operation, in connection with the example shown in fig. 10, the user may perform an operation at a corresponding position using different fingers of the right hand to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display a corresponding interface. In addition, after the operation mode is started, the user can also trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to exit the operation mode by executing corresponding operation. The operation of triggering the curved-surface screen mobile phone to exit the operation mode is different from the operation of triggering the curved-surface screen mobile phone to start the operation mode and the operation of displaying the corresponding interface. If the operation for triggering the curved-surface-screen mobile phone to start the operation mode is a single-click operation, the operation for triggering the curved-surface-screen mobile phone to display the corresponding interface is a long-press operation, and the operation for triggering the curved-surface-screen mobile phone to exit the operation mode is a sliding operation as an example. Under the condition that a user holds the curved-screen mobile phone by the right hand, after the user performs clicking operation to trigger the starting operation mode of the curved-screen mobile phone, the user can perform sliding operation by using a certain finger. After receiving the sliding operation, the curved-surface screen mobile phone can be triggered to exit the operation mode.

Of course, the manner of triggering the curved-screen mobile phone to start the operation mode may be other manners besides receiving the operation of the user as described in the above embodiment. For example, a touchscreen handset initiates an operational mode when a user-specific grip gesture is detected. For the description of the specific holding gesture, reference may be made to the detailed description of the corresponding content in other embodiments of the present application, which is not repeated herein. For another example, when the curved-screen mobile phone detects that the user presses two sides of the curved-screen mobile phone at the same time, the operation mode is started. For another example, a physical or virtual button is arranged on the side of the mobile phone with the curved screen. And when the curved-surface screen mobile phone detects that the user operates the button, starting the operation mode.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, when a user holds the mobile phone with a single hand (e.g., the right hand), the five fingers of the right hand and different positions of the side edge of the curved screen all have contact points. In other embodiments, only some of the five fingers of the user's right hand may have contact points with different locations on the side of the curved screen when the user holds the phone in his right hand. For example, in conjunction with fig. 11, as shown in (a) of fig. 11, the user holds a curved-screen mobile phone with the right hand. The thumb of the user's right hand makes contact with the arc area on the right side of the curved screen. The middle finger, ring finger and little finger of the right hand of the user are in contact with the radian area on the left side of the curved screen. As shown in fig. 11 (b), the contact point between the thumb and the arc region on the right side of the curved screen is referred to as contact point 1, and the contact points between the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger and the arc region on the left side of the curved screen are referred to as contact point 2, contact point 3, and contact point 4, respectively. For another example, referring to fig. 12, as shown in (a) of fig. 12, the user holds a curved-screen mobile phone with the right hand. The thumb of the user's right hand makes contact with the arc area on the right side of the curved screen. The middle finger and the ring finger of the right hand of the user are in contact with the radian area on the left side of the curved screen. As shown in fig. 12 (b), the contact point of the thumb with the arc area on the right side of the curved screen is referred to as contact point 1, and the contact points of the middle finger and the ring finger with the arc area on the left side of the curved screen are referred to as contact point 2 and contact point 3, respectively. For another example, in conjunction with fig. 13, as shown in (a) of fig. 13, the user holds a curved-screen mobile phone with the right hand. Only the thumb of the right hand of the user makes contact with the arc area on the right side of the curved screen. As shown in fig. 13 (b), the contact point of the thumb with the arc region of the right side of the curved screen is referred to as contact point 1. Similar to the above embodiment in conjunction with the description of the holding gesture shown in fig. 5, under the holding gesture shown in fig. 11, fig. 12 or fig. 13, the user may also trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display the corresponding interface by performing an operation at the corresponding position using different fingers. The specific process is similar to that described in the above example, and is not described again here.

In other embodiments of the present application, when a user holds a mobile phone with a curved screen with a single hand, the fingers of the user may contact the sides of the curved screen. The user can use the finger to carry out the operation of different degrees in the position of contact, like the press operation of pressure size difference, like the different slide operation of sliding distance again, trigger the curved surface screen cell-phone and show corresponding interface.

When the curved-surface-screen mobile phone is triggered to display the corresponding interface, the interfaces displayed by the curved-surface-screen mobile phone responding to different degrees of operation (such as pressing operation with different pressure, sliding operation with different sliding distances, and pressing operation with different pressing duration) can be different. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, in response to operations performed by a user at different degrees, an interface displayed by the curved-screen mobile phone may be predefined or configured in the curved-screen mobile phone in advance, or may be set by the user. That is to say, the interfaces displayed by the mobile phone with the curved screen triggered by different degrees of operations may be predefined or preconfigured, or may be set by the user. If the information is predefined or pre-configured in the curved-screen mobile phone, the curved-screen mobile phone can display prompt information for prompting a user to execute operations of different degrees and can trigger an interface displayed correspondingly by the curved-screen mobile phone. For example, the curved-screen mobile phone may display the prompt information when the mobile phone is started, or may display the prompt information when the user opens the setting to view the corresponding function. If the user setting is carried out, a setting interface can be provided for the user to set and execute interfaces which can trigger the curved-surface screen mobile phone to display in different degrees of operation.

As an example, a user uses a finger to press the curved screen at a position in contact with the side edge of the curved screen to different degrees, and the corresponding interface is triggered to be displayed on the curved screen mobile phone. With reference to fig. 5, when the user holds the curved-screen mobile phone with the right hand, the thumb of the right hand may be used to perform pressing operations with different pressures at the position in contact with the right side of the curved-screen mobile phone, so as to trigger the curved-screen mobile phone to display a corresponding interface, such as a previous interface, a desktop, or a multitask interface of the current interface, and implement a navigation function of the curved-screen mobile phone.

For example, as shown in (a) of fig. 14, the user can perform a pressing operation with a pressure of a first pressure value using the thumb of the right hand. When the curved-surface-screen mobile phone receives the pressing operation of the user, the curved-surface-screen mobile phone can display a corresponding interface as a response to the pressing operation, for example, the curved-surface-screen mobile phone displays a previous interface of a current interface.

For another example, as shown in (b) of fig. 14, the user can perform a pressing operation with the pressure at the second pressure value using the thumb of the right hand. When the curved-surface-screen mobile phone receives the pressing operation of the user, the curved-surface-screen mobile phone can display a corresponding interface as a response to the pressing operation, such as a display desktop of the curved-surface-screen mobile phone. Wherein the second pressure value is greater than the first pressure value.

For another example, as shown in (c) of fig. 14, the user may perform a pressing operation with a third pressure value using the thumb of the right hand. When the curved-surface-screen mobile phone receives the pressing operation of the user, the curved-surface-screen mobile phone can display a corresponding interface as a response to the pressing operation, for example, the curved-surface-screen mobile phone displays a multi-task interface. Wherein the third pressure value is greater than the second pressure value.

In addition, when the curved-surface screen mobile phone receives operations of different degrees of the user, such as pressing operations with different pressures, prompt information can be displayed, and the prompt information is used for prompting the pressure of the pressing operations of the user. For example, as shown in fig. 14, the curved screen mobile phone may display an arc line when receiving a pressing operation with different user pressures. The larger the pressure value, the larger the extent of the area formed by the arc and the edge of the touch screen. When the mobile phone with the curved-surface screen receives different degrees of operations of a user, such as pressing operations with different pressures, the mobile phone with the curved-surface screen can also give vibration feedback to the user. The greater the pressure value, the greater the intensity of the vibration.

In other embodiments, in order to prevent misoperation and improve the use experience of the user, the curved-screen mobile phone may start the navigation mode according to the operation of the user. In the navigation mode, the mobile phone with the curved screen is triggered to display different interfaces according to different operation degrees of fingers of a user at the contact positions. For example, a user may use the thumb of the right hand to perform an operation while holding a curved-screen cell phone in the right hand. In response to this operation, the curved screen handset may initiate a navigation mode.

The operation is different from the operation of triggering the corresponding interface displayed by the curved-surface screen mobile phone, and can be sliding operation, clicking operation, double-clicking operation and the like. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the operation for triggering the curved-screen mobile phone to start the navigation mode may be predefined or preconfigured, or may be set by the user. In addition, after the navigation mode is started, the user can also trigger the curved screen mobile phone to exit the navigation mode by executing corresponding operation. The operation of triggering the curved surface screen mobile phone to exit the navigation mode is different from the operation of triggering the curved surface screen mobile phone to start the navigation mode and the operation of displaying the corresponding interface. If the operation for triggering the navigation operation mode of the curved-surface-screen mobile phone is a clicking operation, and the operation for triggering the curved-surface-screen mobile phone to display the corresponding interface is a pressing operation, the operation for triggering the curved-surface-screen mobile phone to exit the navigation mode can be a sliding operation.

Of course, the manner of triggering the curved-screen mobile phone to start the navigation mode may be other manners besides the manner of receiving the operation of the user described in the above embodiment. For example, a touchscreen handset initiates a navigation mode when a user-specific grip gesture is detected. For the description of the specific holding gesture, reference may be made to the detailed description of the corresponding content in other embodiments of the present application, which is not repeated herein. For another example, when the curved-screen mobile phone detects that the user presses two sides of the curved-screen mobile phone at the same time, the navigation mode is started. For another example, a physical or virtual button is arranged on the side of the mobile phone with the curved screen. And when the curved-surface screen mobile phone detects that the user operates the button, starting a navigation mode.

In addition, the method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in the above embodiment by taking an example in which a user vertically holds a curved-screen mobile phone and the curved-screen mobile phone is in a vertical-screen state. In other embodiments, when the user holds the mobile phone with the curved screen in the horizontal direction, that is, the curved mobile phone is in the horizontal screen state, the method of the embodiments is also applicable, and the specific implementation is the same as that of the embodiments. For example, when the user holds the mobile phone with the curved screen in the horizontal direction, and the mobile phone with the curved screen is in the horizontal screen state, as shown in fig. 15, fingers of the left hand and/or the right hand of the user may contact with the arc area on the side of the curved screen. The thumb of the right hand can be used for executing corresponding operation so as to realize the navigation function of the mobile phone with the curved surface screen. And triggering the curved screen mobile phone to display a corresponding interface, such as a previous interface, a desktop or a multi-task interface of the current interface. As an example, in conjunction with fig. 15, when a user holds a curved screen cell phone in a landscape orientation, the thumb of the user's right hand may make contact with the curved area of the left side of the curved screen. As shown in fig. 15 (a), the curved-screen mobile phone currently displays a setting interface 1501 of the wireless local area network. The user can use the thumb of the right hand to perform an operation, such as operation 1 in the above embodiment, where the operation 1 can be a sliding operation 1, the starting point of the sliding operation 1 is a curved screen side, such as a radian area of the left side, and the sliding direction is directed to the lower side of the curved screen. That is, the user can perform a sliding operation with the thumb of the right hand pointing to the lower side in the arc region of the left side of the curved screen (e.g., the sliding locus 1502 shown in (a) in fig. 15). When the curved-screen mobile phone receives the operation 1 of the user, as a response to the operation 1, the curved-screen mobile phone may display a corresponding interface, for example, the curved-screen mobile phone displays a previous interface of a current interface, that is, a previous interface of a setting interface 1501 of the wireless local area network, for example, as shown in (b) of fig. 15, the curved-screen mobile phone sets a main interface 1503 of an application. Of course, similar to the examples of fig. 7 and 8, the user may also use the thumb of the right hand to perform a corresponding operation, triggering the curved-screen mobile phone to display a desktop or a multi-task interface. In addition, similar to the example of any one of fig. 9 to 14, when the user holds the curved-screen mobile phone in the horizontal direction, that is, when the curved-screen mobile phone is in the horizontal-screen state, the method in the corresponding embodiment may also be used to implement the corresponding function, which is not described in detail in this embodiment.
