User interface display method and apparatus

Abstract

The invention discloses a user interface display method, which comprises the steps of: acquiring and storing attribute of all elements of current user interface display, wherein the elements are minimum display units of the current user interface display and the attribute of the elements comprises the display states and contents of the elements; transferring a user interface display function of the current user interface display, wherein the user interface display function transfers the functions of all elements of the current user interface display gradually; describing the attribute of the elements by using functions of the elements; and generating the current user interface display after transferring the functions of all elements of the current user interface display. The invention further discloses a user interface display apparatus and a digital device comprising the user interface display apparatus. The scheme of the invention can improve the maintainability of the code of the user interface display greatly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a user interface (User Interface, UI) display method and a user interface display device, in particular to a user interface display method and a user interface display device in a portable digital device. Background technique [0002] Almost all portable multimedia digital products with display screens, including mobile phones, MP3 players, multimedia players, handheld game consoles, digital cameras, etc., all involve user interface (UI) display functions. Especially for multimedia digital products with large screens and touch screens, the display effect of the user interface is the biggest selling point. The user interface needs to be able to quickly switch between different display styles and effects according to the user's preferences. [0003] In the prior art user interface display scheme, the functions of the user interface and the codes of the display effect are often intertwined, there is no hierarchical struct...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the prior art user interface display scheme, the functions of the user interface and the codes of the display effect are often intertwined, there is no hierarchical structure, and the function and the interface are mixed; Still keep drawing pictures; there is no unified template for user interface codes with different display styles

[0004] The user interface display part has a relatively large amount of code, and is the most frequently changed part; the existing technical solutions have the following disadvantages:

[0005] (1) The function of the user interface and the code of the display effect are often intertwined, resulting in confusion between the function and the interface, resulting in difficulties in later update, upgrade and maintenance: modifying the function often causes the interface to display errors; on the contrary, after modifying the interface, it often causes function errors, crashes, etc. question

Moreover, the development and maintenance of the interface needs to find the code of the interface part in the huge and scattered code, which consumes a lot of manpower.

[0006] (2) The user interface shows that the code has no hierarchical structure, resulting in high development manpower, high input costs, and higher maintenance costs

[0007] (3) User interface display efficiency is low

That is: when the interface does not change and does not need to be refreshed, it still keeps drawing pictures, which not only wastes system resources, but also often leads to the limitation of other functions, and the performance of the whole machine deteriorates; at the same time, it also speeds up the wear and tear of hardware, such as frequent reading and writing Loss of Flash Life

[0008] (4) There is no unified template for the user interface codes of different display styles. When the interface display style of the solution changes, recoding is often required, and the workload is heavy

However, the display content of each application varies greatly, which makes it difficult to modify the code and has high requirements for programmers.

[0009] In a word, the user interface display is an important part of portable multimedia digital products, and the user interface codes in the prior art have poor maintainability; waste system resources, increase hardware loss; poor reusability and scalability
