Problems solved by technology

[0004] For touch screen devices, one of the reasons for the above inconvenience is that the area of ​​the user’s fingertips is larger than the area of ​​the slider. During the sliding process, the fingertips will block the display position of the slider on the slider bar, and the user cannot receive visual feedback in time. What is the specific position of the slider, and the sliding granularity will be larger due to the larger contact area between the fingertip and the touch screen
Especially on mobile devices with smaller screens, the slider bar is shorter and more granular, making it more difficult for users to precisely position the slider

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of graphical interfaces, and discloses a method and system for controlling a slider. The method for controlling the slider comprises the steps that a first user behavior is detected, the first user behavior shows activation of a rotary mode, the rotary mode comprises displaying of a first slider bar, the included angle between the first slider bar and a second slider bar is larger than zero degree, and the second slider bar is displayed before entering in the rotary mode; the first slider bar is displayed by responding to the first detected user behavior; the slider is made to slide along the first slider bar. According to the technical scheme, the slider can automatically slide along the inclined slider bars by inclining the slider bars through a user, and the situation that the slider is visually blocked due to the fact that the user drags the slider with the fingers is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of graphical interfaces, and more particularly, to a method and system for controlling a slider. Background technique [0002] With the continuous popularity of touch screen devices, there are more and more applications with sliders and slider bars. For example, sliders and slider bars are usually used in media players to facilitate users to select specific time points to play video or audio. There are also some e-book reading applications that use sliders and slider bars to operate. [0003] However, these applications all have the problem that the slider is difficult to locate accurately. Still taking the media player on a touch screen device as an example, if the user wants to start watching a video at 1 hour and 5 minutes, the user needs to press and hold the slider with a finger, drag the slider to the desired position along the slider bar, and then open. Usually, the user needs to try to drag and rel...
