Method and device for locking focus element in webpage browsing process

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a device for locking a focus element in the webpage browsing process. The method comprises the following steps of: moving a virtual mouse according to the instruction of an external navigation signal; searching a focus element which is nearest to the current position of the virtual mouse in a certain region along the movement direction of the virtual mouse according to the movement of the virtual mouse; and moving the virtual mouse to the nearest focus element position. By utilizing the method and the device, a user can rapidly and conveniently select a focus element in a webpage only through a navigation key under the condition that a real mouse is not provided, so that the key operation of the user is reduced, and the browsing speed and the operational experience of the user are further improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of webpage browsing, and more specifically, to a method and device for locking focus elements during webpage browsing. Background technique [0002] With the progress of society and the development of technology, people increasingly use access terminals to access the Internet to obtain information. Among them, web browsing is a main means for users to obtain information. In the process of browsing web pages, a very important operation is to click on a clickable element such as a control or link in the web page to proceed to the next step to open a file, For operations such as downloading files, during the control operation process of the browser, this clickable element is called a focus element, and is displayed on the webpage in the form of a hyperlink or a picture. [0003] When a user browses a web page, the most important use of the mouse operation is to select and click a focus element in the web page to...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In PC browsers, the operation of clicking on the focus element is completed through the mouse device, but on non-touch screen mobile terminals (such as mobile phones), there is generally no mouse as an operating device, and only through up / down / left / right navigation key to simulate a virtual mouse to indicate the user's operation

However, this simulated virtual mouse is controlled by the up / down / left / right navigation keys, and can only move step by step according to a certain step size, and each movement can only be limited to up / down / left / right four One of the three directions, without being able to move freely as you like, after all, you cannot achieve the flexibility that can be achieved by controlling a real mouse.

[0004] Therefore, in the browsers of mobile terminals, including mobile phones, which are inconvenient to configure mouse hardware, the user's experience of selecting and clicking a focal element in a web page is far worse than that of a PC browser configured with mouse hardware.
