DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0022] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and
advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the
technical solutions according to embodiments of the present
invention are clearly and completely described in the following
with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the
embodiments in the following description are merely a part rather
than all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other
embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based
on the embodiments of the present invention without creative
efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present
invention.
[0023] In an existing intelligent UE, component moving is an
extremely common operation. When components are in a mode that
allows the components to be moved, for example, an editing mode, a
user can move the components through manners, such as dragging, a
mouse, a cursor or a focus shift, so that the components may be
moved to any position in a container of the UE. However, currently,
under a normal circumstance, the user does not know the feature
that the container is larger than a displaying region of a UE, and
moreover, due to an influence of an operating habit, the user does
not know that a hidden region outside the displaying region of the
display screen of a UE may also be used to place the components.
Further, even the user knows the feature that the container is
larger than the displaying region, when the user moves a component
to a periphery of the displaying region of the display screen of
the UE, the current displayed region can be switched to the
adjacent hidden region only after several seconds staying, while
the user generally considers that an object of moving the component
into the hidden region in the container may be achieved by directly
moving the component to the periphery of the display screen, which
results in a failure in the component movement operation.
[0024] In order to solve the problem, an embodiment of the present
invention provides a component display processing method, where the
method may include: obtaining indication information indicating
that a component is in a waiting-to-be-processed state; and
according to the indication information, performing reducing
processing on a displayed region that is displayed on a display
screen in a container, so that the display screen displays a hidden
region of the container in an unoccupied region after the displayed
region is reduced, where the container includes the displayed
region and the hidden region for accommodating components.
[0025] In the embodiments of the present invention, when the user
needs to perform processing on a component, the displayed region on
the display screen may be dynamically reduced, so that the hidden
region of the container is displayed on the display screen. In this
way, the user is prompted that processing may be performed on
components in the displayed region and the hidden region.
Therefore, in the embodiments of the present invention, no matter
whether the user knows the feature that the container is larger
than the displaying region of the UE, the user may be prompted that
a placement location of the component may not only be the displayed
region that is displayed on the screen in the container, but also
may be the hidden region besides the displayed region in the
container, thereby facilitating operations by the user on all
components in the container, and improving operation experience of
the user.
[0026] In the following, the technical solutions of the embodiments
of the present invention are described in detail with reference to
several specific embodiments.
Embodiment 1
[0027] FIG. 1 is a flow chart of Embodiment 1 of a component
display processing method according to the present invention. As
shown in FIG. 1, the method of this embodiment may include:
[0028] Step 101: Obtain indication information indicating that a
component is in a waiting-to-be-processed state.
[0029] For example, in this embodiment, the indication information
may be indication information indicating that one or some
components are in a selected state, or after a user clicks a button
of a UE, the UE obtains this operation by the user and triggers
indication information. Persons skilled in the art may enable the
UE to obtain the indication information indicating that one or some
components are in the waiting-to-be-processed state by adopting any
manner, and details are not repeated herein.
[0030] When it is required to move one component or several
components that are placed in a displayed region displayed on a
display screen in a container, the user may trigger a state of the
component or the several components to be a processable mode, so
that the component or the several components are in the
waiting-to-be-processed state. In this embodiment, the user may
trigger the component to be in the processable mode by adopting any
manner in the prior art. For example, if the UE is a PC, the user
may click the component through a mouse to trigger the component to
be in the processable mode; and if the UE is a mobile terminal, the
user may select the component by adopting a focus shifting mode, so
as to trigger the component to be in the processable mode.
Definitely, this embodiment of the present invention includes, but
is not limited to, the foregoing manners for triggering the
component to be in the processable mode.
[0031] When the user completes the operation, the UE may obtain
indication information indicating that one or several components
are in the waiting-to-be-processed state.
[0032] Step 102: According to the indication information, perform
reducing processing on the displayed region that is displayed on
the display screen in the container, so that the display screen
displays a hidden region of the container in an unoccupied region
after the displayed region is reduced.
[0033] After obtaining the indication information, the UE knows
that the user needs to process the component or the several
components, so the UE may perform reducing processing on the
displayed region that is displayed on the display screen in the
container. The displayed region that is originally displayed on the
display screen merely occupies a part of the region of the entire
display screen after the reducing processing, while the unoccupied
region of the display screen after the reducing may be used to
display the hidden region of the container. The hidden region is
displayed on the screen, so that the user is prompted that the
component may be moved into the hidden region that is
displayed.
[0034] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the UE may be
any existing device with a screen for display, for example, a PC, a
mobile terminal, a PSP, and an MP4, and the component may be any
existing movable system object, for example, Widget, a shortcut, a
file, or a folder. Definitely, in this embodiment of the present
invention, the UE includes, but is not limited to, the foregoing
devices, and the component includes, but is not limited to, the
foregoing system objects.
[0035] In this embodiment, when the user needs to move a component,
the displayed region on the display screen may be dynamically
reduced, so that the hidden region of the container is displayed on
the display screen. In this way, the user is prompted that the
component may be moved into the hidden region that is displayed on
the display screen. Therefore, in this embodiment, no matter
whether the user knows the feature that the container is larger
than a displaying region of the UE, the user may be prompted that a
placement location of the component may not only be the displayed
region that is displayed on the display screen in the container,
but also may be the hidden region besides the displayed region in
the container, thereby facilitating the operation of moving the
component by the user, improving a success rate of the component
movement operation, and improving operation experience of the
user.
Embodiment 2
[0036] FIG. 2 is a flow chart of Embodiment 2 of a component
display processing method according to the present invention. As
shown in FIG. 2, the method of this embodiment may include:
[0037] Step 201: Obtain indication information indicating that a
component is in a waiting-to-be-processed state.
[0038] The indication information includes movement direction
information of the component. The execution process of step 201 is
similar to that of step 101 shown in FIG. 1, and details are not
repeated herein.
[0039] Step 202: According to the movement direction information of
the component included in the indication information, perform
reducing processing on a part of a displayed region to which the
movement direction of the component is pointed, so that a display
screen displays a hidden region of a container in an unoccupied
region after the displayed region is reduced.
[0040] In this embodiment, the indication information obtained by a
UE may include the movement direction information of the component,
and the movement direction information of the component may be a
trend direction in which a user moves the component.
[0041] For example, if the movement direction of the component
included in the indication information that is obtained by the UE
is a right side of the screen, the UE may perform the reducing
processing on the right side of the displayed region that is
displayed on the display screen in the container, so that the
hidden region of the container is displayed in the unoccupied
region at the right side of the displayed region of the display
screen, and in this way, the user is prompted that the component
may be moved into the hidden region that is displayed at the right
side of the display screen in the container. If the movement
direction of the component included in the indication information
that is obtained by the UE is an upper side of the screen, the UE
may perform the reducing processing on the upper side of the
displayed region that is displayed on the display screen in the
container, so that the hidden region of the container is displayed
in the unoccupied region at the upper side of the displayed region
of the display screen, and in this way, the user is prompted that
the component may be moved into the hidden region that is displayed
at the upper side of the display screen in the container.
[0042] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when the UE
performs the reducing processing on the part of the displayed
region to which the movement direction of the component is pointed,
the entire part at the side of the display screen corresponding to
the movement direction may be reduced, or the reducing processing
may be performed only on a part at the side of the display screen,
so that the hidden region of the container can be displayed.
Definitely, this embodiment includes, but is not limited to the
foregoing manners.
[0043] In this embodiment, when the user needs to move a component,
the displayed region on the display screen may be dynamically
reduced according to the direction in which the user moves the
component, so that the hidden region of the container is displayed
in the unoccupied region after the displayed region is reduced. In
this way, the user is prompted that the component may be moved into
the hidden region that is displayed on the screen. Therefore, in
this embodiment, no matter whether the user knows the feature that
the container is larger than a displaying region of the UE, the
user may be prompted that a placement location of the component may
not only be the displayed region that is displayed on the display
screen in the container, but also may be the hidden region besides
the displayed region in the container, thereby facilitating the
operation of moving the component by the user, improving a success
rate of the component movement operation, and improving operation
experience of the user.
Embodiment 3
[0044] FIG. 3 is a flow chart of Embodiment 3 of a component
display processing method according to the present invention. As
shown in FIG. 3, the method of this embodiment may include:
[0045] Step 301: Obtain indication information indicating that a
component is in a waiting-to-be-processed state.
[0046] The execution process of step 301 is similar to that of step
101 shown in FIG. 1, and details are not repeated herein.
[0047] Step 302: According to the indication information, perform
reducing processing on any part of a displayed region, so that a
display screen displays a hidden region of a container in an
unoccupied region after the displayed region is reduced.
[0048] In this embodiment, after obtaining the indication
information, a UE may perform the reducing processing on any part
of the displayed region. The UE may, according to a preset policy
or randomly, determine a part of the displayed region on which the
reducing processing is performed and an area of the part that needs
to be reduced. Therefore, the display screen can display the hidden
region of the container in the unoccupied region after the
displayed region is reduced, so that the user is prompted that the
component may be moved into the hidden region that is displayed on
the display screen in the container.
[0049] In this embodiment, when the user needs to move a component,
the displayed region on the display screen may be dynamically
reduced randomly or according to a preset policy, so that the
hidden region of the container is displayed in the unoccupied
region after the displayed region is reduced. In this way, the user
is prompted that the component may be moved into the hidden region
that is displayed on the display screen in the container.
Therefore, in this embodiment, no matter whether the user knows the
feature that the container is larger than a displaying region of
the UE, the user may be prompted that a placement location of the
component may not only be the displayed region that is displayed on
the display screen in the container, but also may be the hidden
region besides the displayed region in the container, thereby
facilitating the operation of moving the component by the user,
improving a success rate of the component movement operation, and
improving operation experience of the user.
Embodiment 4
[0050] FIG. 4 is a flow chart of Embodiment 4 of a component
display processing method according to the present invention. As
shown in FIG. 4, the method of this embodiment may include:
[0051] Step 401: Obtain indication information indicating that a
component is in a waiting-to-be-processed state.
[0052] The execution process of step 401 is similar to that of step
101 shown in FIG. 1, and details are not repeated herein.
[0053] Step 402: According to the indication information, perform
reducing processing on a region at any one of edges of a displayed
region, so that a display screen displays a hidden region of a
container in an unoccupied region after the edge of the displayed
region is reduced.
[0054] A difference between this embodiment and the method
embodiment shown in FIG. 3 lies in that, after obtaining the
indication information, a UE may perform the reducing processing on
a region at any one of edges of the displayed region of the
container, for example, perform the reducing processing on a left
edge, a right edge, an upper edge, or a lower edge of the displayed
region of the container, so that the user is prompted that the
component may be moved into the hidden region of the container that
is displayed on the screen.
[0055] In this embodiment, when the user needs to move a component,
the UE may perform dynamic reducing processing on any one of edges
of the displayed region on the display screen, so that the hidden
region of the container is displayed in the unoccupied region after
the displayed region is reduced. In this way, the user is prompted
that the component may be moved into the hidden region that is
displayed on the display screen in the container. Therefore, in
this embodiment, no matter whether the user knows the feature that
the container is larger than a displaying region of the UE, the
user may be prompted that a placement location of the component may
not only be the displayed region that is displayed on the display
screen in the container, but also may be the hidden region besides
the displayed region in the container, thereby facilitating the
operation of moving the component by the user, improving a success
rate of the component movement operation, and improving operation
experience of the user.
Embodiment 5
[0056] FIG. 5 is a flow chart of Embodiment 5 of a component
display processing method according to the present invention. As
shown in FIG. 5, the method of this embodiment may include:
[0057] Step 501: Obtain indication information indicating that a
component is in a waiting-to-be-processed state.
[0058] The execution process of step 501 is similar to that of step
101 shown in FIG. 1, and details are not repeated herein.
[0059] Step 502: According to the indication information, perform
reducing processing on an entire displayed region, so that a
display screen displays a hidden region of a container in an
unoccupied region after the entire displayed region is reduced.
[0060] A difference between this embodiment and the method
embodiment shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4 lies in that, in this
embodiment, when the reducing processing is performed on the
displayed region that is displayed on the display screen in the
container, the entire displayed region is reduced, so that all
peripheral regions of the displayed region are unoccupied, and the
hidden region of the container is displayed in the peripheral
regions of the displayed region. In this way, a user is prompted
that the component may be moved into the hidden region that is
displayed at the periphery of the display screen in the
container.
[0061] In this embodiment, when the user needs to move a component,
the UE may perform dynamical reducing processing on the entire
displayed region on the display screen, so that the hidden region
of the container is displayed in the peripheral regions that are
unoccupied after the displayed region is reduced. In this way, the
user is prompted that the component may be moved into the hidden
region that is displayed on the display screen in the container.
Therefore, in this embodiment, no matter whether the user knows the
feature that the container is larger than a displaying region of
the UE, the user may be prompted that a placement location of the
component may not only be the displayed region that is displayed on
the screen in the container, but also may be a hidden region beyond
the displayed region in the container, thereby facilitating the
operation of moving the component by the user, improving a success
rate of the component movement operation, and improving operation
experience of the user.
Embodiment 6
[0062] FIG. 6 is a flow chart of Embodiment 6 of a component
display processing method according to the present invention. As
shown in FIG. 6, the method of this embodiment may include:
[0063] Step 601: Obtain indication information indicating that a
component is in a waiting-to-be-processed state.
[0064] The execution process of step 601 is similar to that of step
101 shown in FIG. 1, and details are not repeated herein.
[0065] Step 602: According to the indication information, perform
reducing processing on a displayed region that is displayed on a
display screen in a container, so that the screen displays a hidden
region of the container in an unoccupied region after the displayed
region is reduced.
[0066] The execution process of step 602 is similar to that of step
102 shown in FIG. 1, and details are not repeated herein.
[0067] It should be noted that, an implementation manner of step
602 may be any one of the implementation manners shown in FIG. 2 to
FIG. 5, and details are not repeated herein.
[0068] Step 603: Receive a movement instruction from a user, and
move, according to the movement instruction, the component from the
reduced displayed region into the hidden region that is displayed
on the display screen.
[0069] In a specific implementation process, the step 603 may be
implemented by adopting two manners.
[0070] One implementation manner may be: After the component is
moved from the reduced displayed region to a junction between the
reduced displayed region and the hidden region that is displayed on
the display screen, content displayed on the display screen is
switched in a shifting manner to completely display the hidden
region, so that the component is moved into the hidden region.
[0071] In this implementation manner, the container may be in plane
form, that is, the displayed region that is displayed on the
display screen in the container and the hidden region that is not
displayed on the display screen are on the same plane. Therefore,
when the component is moved to the junction between the reduced
displayed region and the hidden region that is displayed on the
display screen, the content displayed on the display screen may be
switched in the shifting manner to completely display the hidden
region on the entire display screen, so that the component is moved
into the hidden region of the container.
[0072] The other implementation manner may be: After the component
is moved from the reduced displayed region to the junction between
the reduced displayed region and the hidden region that is
displayed on the display screen, the content displayed on the
display screen is switched in a reversing manner to completely
display the hidden region, so that the component is moved into the
hidden region.
[0073] In this implementation manner, the container may be in a
three-dimensional shape, that is, the displayed region that is
displayed on the display screen in the container and the hidden
region that is not displayed on the display screen are respectively
located at different surfaces of the container. When the component
is moved to the junction between the reduced displayed region and
the hidden region that is displayed on the display screen, the
content displayed on the display screen may be switched in the
reversing manner to completely display the hidden region on the
entire display screen, so that the component is moved into the
hidden region of the container.
[0074] Taking a container in a cube shape as an example, the
displayed region that is displayed on the display screen in the
container may be a surface of the cube, while other five surfaces
of the cube are the hidden region that is not displayed on the
display screen. When it is required to move the component, the
entire displayed region that is displayed on the display screen in
the container may be reduced, so that a part of the hidden region
on four surfaces that are adjacent to the surface of the displayed
region in the container is displayed on the display screen. When
the component is moved to the junction between the reduced
displayed region and the hidden region that is display on the
display screen, for example, to a junction at a right side, the
content displayed on the display screen may be reversed. The
process is similar to pushing the container in the cube shape, so
that the five surfaces where the hidden region is located are
respectively displayed on the display screen, and the component is
moved into the hidden region of the container.
[0075] It should be noted that, the container in this
implementation manner is not limited to be in a cube shape, and
persons of ordinary skill in the art may set the shape of the
container to be any three-dimensional shape as required.
[0076] In this embodiment, when the user needs to move a component,
the UE may perform dynamical reducing processing on the displayed
region on the display screen, so that the hidden region of the
container is displayed in the unoccupied region after the displayed
region is reduced.
[0077] In this way, the user is prompted that the component may be
moved into the hidden region that is displayed on the display
screen in the container. Moreover, in the component movement
process, an effect of component movement may be implemented by
adopting different manners. Therefore, in this embodiment, no
matter whether the user knows the feature that the container is
larger than a displaying region of the UE, the user may be prompted
that a placement location of the component may not only be the
displayed region that is displayed on the screen in the container,
but also may be the hidden region besides the displayed region in
the container, thereby facilitating the operation of moving the
component by the user, improving a success rate of the component
movement operation, and improving operation experience of the
user.
Embodiment 7
[0078] FIG. 7 is a flow chart of Embodiment 7 of a component
display processing method according to the present invention. As
shown in FIG. 7, the method of this embodiment may include:
[0079] Step 701: Obtain indication information indicating that a
component is in a waiting-to-be-processed state.
[0080] The indication information obtained in step 701 indicates
that the component is in the waiting-to-be-processed state, that
is, the component is in a waiting-to-be-processed mode. The
execution process of step 701 is similar to that of step 101 shown
in FIG. 1, and details are not repeated herein.
[0081] Step 702: According to the indication information, perform
reducing processing on a displayed region that is displayed on a
display screen in a container, so that the display screen displays
a hidden region of the container in an unoccupied region after the
displayed region is reduced.
[0082] The execution process of step 702 is similar to that of step
102 shown in FIG. 1, and details are not repeated herein.
[0083] It should be noted that, an implementation manner of step
702 may be any one of the implementation manners in FIG. 2 to FIG.
5, and details are not repeated herein.
[0084] Step 703: Receive a screen expansion instruction from a
user, and according to the screen expansion instruction, display a
new displayed region on the display screen, where the new displayed
region is the reduced original displayed region and the hidden
region that is displayed on the display screen.
[0085] Specifically, after the displayed region on the display
screen is reduced, through exposing the hidden region, the user may
be prompted that an available component is stored in the hidden
region. Therefore, the user may send the screen expansion
instruction to a UE. The screen expansion instruction may be
configured to instruct the UE to display a hidden component in the
hidden region that is displayed on the display screen. Therefore,
the UE may display, on the display screen, a component that is
originally displayed in the displayed region and the component that
is originally stored in the hidden region, so that, through screen
expansion, more components are displayed on the display screen for
use by the user. For example, before the displayed region on the
display screen is reduced, the UE may display nine components on
the display screen; and after the displayed region on the display
screen is reduced, the UE may display three more components in the
hidden region that is exposed, so that twelve components may be
displayed on the current display screen. It should be noted that,
persons skilled in the art may display more components in the
hidden region that is exposed after the displayed region is reduced
as required by adopting different component display sizes and
component display manners, which is convenient for the user to
perform operations on these components, thereby achieving better
user experience.

display screen in a container, so that the screen displays a hidden
region of the container in an unoccupied region after the displayed
region is reduced.
[0090] The execution process of step 802 is similar to that of step
102 shown in FIG. 1, and details are not repeated herein.
[0091] It should be noted that, an implementation manner of step
802 may be any one of the implementation manners in FIG. 2 to FIG.
5, and details are not repeated herein.
[0092] Step 803: Receive a program processing instruction from a
user, and perform processing on a program component displayed in
the hidden region that is displayed on the display screen.
[0093] Specifically, after the displayed region on the display
screen is reduced, through exposing the hidden region, the user may
be prompted that an available component is stored in the hidden
region. Therefore, the user may send a program processing
instruction to a UE to perform processing on a hidden component
displayed in the hidden region that is displayed on the display
screen. The processing may include operations such as opening the
program component, and deleting the program component, and so on;
and moreover, a type of the program component may be any type in
the prior art, for example, a notepad program component and so on.
Therefore, the user may perform processing on a component that is
originally displayed in the displayed region, and may also perform
processing on the component that is originally stored in the hidden
region, which is convenient for the user to process the component
that is stored in the hidden region, and improves operation
experience of the user.
[0094] Persons skilled in the art should understand that all or a
part of the steps of the foregoing method embodiments may be
implemented by programs instructing relevant hardware. The programs
may be stored in a computer readable storage medium. When the
programs are run, the steps of the method embodiments are executed.
