[45] Example embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the exemplary embodiments may be implemented in various forms and it should not be construed that the embodiments of the present disclosure are limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and can fully convey the concept of the invention to a person skilled in the art. The drawings are merely schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings represent the same or similar parts, and thus repeated descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[46] Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to offer full understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, a person skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical solutions of the present disclosure may be practiced by omitting one or more of the specific details; or other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. may be adopted. In other instances, certain well-known structures, methods, devices, implementations, materials, or operations may not be shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring certain important aspects of the present disclosure.

[47] Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in the form of software, implemented in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or implemented in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[48] In order to make the objects, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the following further describes the present disclosure in detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[49] In a related embodiment, a floating button may be added to a browsed page. A floating button includes a scroll up button and a scroll down button. In addition, long pressing the scroll up or down button can scroll up or down the page so as to automatically browse a continuous page. Alternatively, four buttons, up, down, left, and right, may be further set up to automatically navigate through a continuous page in different directions. However, this needs the addition of a window in the interface to set the floating button. Accordingly, it occupies interface space and has certain limitations, for example, it is limited to a certain application. Alternatively, a third-party tool may be used (such as adding an external mouse or external touch pad) to achieve automatic page loading. However, the disadvantage thereof is that additional equipment is needed, which may compromise the portability.

[50] It can be seen that, in related embodiments, sliding through a continuous page requires manual operation. Even if the finger does not slide directly on the page, the manual operation is also required. The existing technology cannot achieve automatically browsing a continuous page without manual operation.

[51] In light of the foregoing, the present disclosure configures the browsing mode on the basis of the 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> technology. In addition to the existing tap operation, the 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> technology adds, at the physical level, a peek and a pop touch mode in two vertical directions. As a result, the operation on a touch screen is changed from one "tap" operation to three different operations, "tap," "peek" and "pop," so as to achieve the purpose of three-dimensional touch. Hence, an operation may need fewer steps, and the interaction becomes faster and more convenient.

[52] FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of a method for browsing a continuous page provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be used for a touch screen of 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> and may include the following steps:

[53] As shown in FIG. 1, step S110 includes, in a sliding-based page browsing scenario, starting a browsing mode configuration according to a first touch operation received from a user;

[54] As shown in FIG. 1, step S120 includes performing the browsing mode configuration in response to an input from the user;

[55] As shown in FIG. 1, step S130 includes automatically browsing a continuous page according to a result of the browsing mode configuration.

[56] In this embodiment, the sliding-based page browsing scenario may include, but is not limited to, scenarios that require continuous loading, such as WeChat circle of friends, today's headlines, and the like. Accordingly, a continuous page may include the pages of the circle of friends, or a news page such as today's headlines, and the like, or other pages that cannot be fully displayed on the screen of a mobile phone, and thus need a sliding operation in order to display the remaining content.

[57] FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a sliding-based page browsing scenario in this embodiment, including a plurality of items of information that can be continuously loaded. According to the records of the foregoing related embodiments, manual operation is required, that is, the page is continuously loaded by means of sliding the page up or down. After entering the scenario in this embodiment as shown in FIG. 2, the browsing mode can be configured. Once the configuration is complete, the page can be automatically loaded. In addition, there is no need for manual operation during the process of automatic page loading. Accordingly, a continuous page can be automatically browsed in accordance with the configured direction and speed.

[58] In this embodiment, in step S110, by means of performing a first touch operation in the "configuration starting response area" in the sliding-based page browsing scenario, the browsing mode configuration can be started, so as to enter a configuration page, in which the configuration page may be in a semi-transparent state. The "configuration starting response area" is a response area for starting the browsing mode configuration, and may be a non-picture area such as a text area or a blank area. Since an action of tapping a picture shown on the screen of a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone, is usually the default operation to open the picture, that is, the picture will be displayed on the screen in a big picture mode, in order to avoid conflict with the user's existing operating habits, a browsing mode configuration is started in a non-picture area through a first trigger operation. In this embodiment, the first touch operation may be a peek operation in the 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> technology.

[59] It should be noted that there may be various ways to perform browsing mode configuration in response to the user's input in step S120. The following examples in this embodiment will be described.

[60] FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of step S120 according to this embodiment, including the following steps:

[61] As shown in FIG. 3, step S31 includes obtaining the direction and speed of a sliding operation of the user on a touch screen.

[62] As shown in FIG. 3, step S32 includes obtaining the result of the browsing mode configuration according to the direction and speed of the sliding operation. In this embodiment, the result of the browsing mode configuration includes the direction and speed for automatically browsing the continuous page.

[63] As shown in FIG. 3, step S33 includes terminating the browsing mode configuration in response to a second touch operation from the user. In this embodiment, the second touch operation may be a pop operation in the 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> technology.

[64] The direction and speed of a user's finger sliding is detected through the touch screen as the result of the browsing mode configuration, that is, the direction of the detected finger sliding is the direction for automatically browsing the continuous page, and the speed of the detected finger sliding is the speed for automatically browsing the continuous page. After the foregoing configuration, according to the configured direction and speed, the process of automatically browsing a continuous page can completely simulate the operation of manually sliding the page, and thus can automatically browse the continuous page in accordance with the user's desired manner.

[65] It should be noted that the steps in this embodiment are only for the convenience of describing the implementation process thereof, and do not indicate the order in which the steps should be executed. For example, in step S31, the direction and speed of the user's finger sliding on the touch screen can be obtained so as to obtain the result of browsing mode configuration in step S32.

[66] FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a configuration page in the first embodiment. After starting browsing mode configuration in step S110, the configuration page shown in FIG. 4 is opened. As shown in FIG. 4, the configuration page is in a semi-transparent state, that is, a layer showing "Start to detect the direction and speed of page sliding" is provided on top of the page shown in FIG. 2, so as to prompt the user to slide their finger on the touch screen for the configuration; after obtaining the direction and speed of the user's finger sliding action so as to get the result of browsing mode configuration, a pop operation in the 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> technology may be performed to complete and then terminate the configuration process.

[67] Next, the page shown in FIG. 2 returns and the process of automatically browsing this continuous page is started according to the direction and speed of the configured browsing mode so as to load more information items. In this way, a user can browse a page without any human intervention. In addition, the process of automatically browsing the continuous page will be stopped when it is detected that an end of the continuous page has been reached; the process of automatically browsing the continuous page will be stopped when a third touch operation is detected. In this embodiment, the third touch operation may be a tap operation in the 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> technology.

[68] Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 and the schematic diagram shown in FIG. 4, this embodiment adopts a customized method to configure the direction and speed of automatically browsing a continuous page, and automatically browses a continuous page according to the configuration result, which can realize automated browsing, and provide users with a good interactive experience.

[69] In summary, according to one embodiment, in the sliding-based page browsing scenario, 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> and user-defined inputs can be used for browsing mode configuration, and then the continuous page can be automatically browsed according to the configuration result. In this way, the continuous automatic loading of the page can be achieved without the need for continuous human touch operations, which thus improves the user interaction experience. In addition, the configuration process of browsing a continuous page can be achieved by virtue of the 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> technology that comes with a mobile phone, without adding any extra icons on the interface, thereby saving the interface space. Moreover, this method can be realized by means of the 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> technology of the mobile phone alone, without relying on any third-party tool support. It does not rely on any third-party tool support and is easy to use.

[70] In another example, FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of step S120 in this embodiment, which may include the following steps:

[71] As shown in FIG. 5, step S51 includes presenting one or more options for selection by the user, wherein the one or more options represent different ways of automatic sliding browsing. For example, the options may include fast sliding up, medium speed sliding up, medium speed sliding down, and fast sliding down. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, only four commonly used automatic sliding browsing modes are used as examples. In actual applications, in addition to these four automatic browsing modes for a continuous page, other types of options may be provided according to user needs, such as slow sliding up, slow sliding down, and the like. The present disclosure has no limits on this.

[72] As shown in FIG. 5, step S52 includes determining the option selected by the user as the browsing mode configuration result, wherein the result of browsing mode configuration includes the direction and speed for automatically browsing a continuous page.

[73] In this embodiment, according to one option selected by the user from the plurality of options provided in the above step S31, the manner of browsing desired by the user can be obtained, which includes the direction and speed for automatically browsing a continuous page, that is, the direction indicates sliding upward or downward, and the speed indicates fast sliding, medium speed sliding, or slow sliding, such that the performance of automatically browsing a continuous page is in line with the user expectation.

[74] As shown in FIG. 5, step S53 includes terminating the configuration according to any one option selected by the user. In step S52, the user's finger taps the corresponding option to complete the option selection operation, and then the configuration is ended.

[75] It should be noted that the steps in this embodiment are only for the convenience of describing the implementation process, and do not indicate the order in which the steps should be executed. For example, in step S53, the user's finger may tap on a button of any one of multiple options to get the option selected by the user, so as to obtain the result of browsing mode configuration in step S52, and then the configuration is ended.

[76] FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram of a configuration page. After starting to browse the continuous page configuration in step S110, the configuration page shown in FIG. 6 is opened. As shown in FIG. 6, the configuration page is in a semi-transparent state, that is, a page with multiple options is added on top of the page shown in FIG. 2. Taking the four modes as an example, including fast sliding up, medium speed sliding up, medium speed sliding down, and fast sliding down, FIG. 6 shows these four options of "fast sliding up," "medium speed sliding up," "medium speed sliding down" and "fast sliding down." A user may move his or her finger to any one of these four options and then select one option to complete the selection and finish the configuration, which does not need the pop operation in the 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> technology.

[77] Next, the page shown in FIG. 2 returns and the process of automatically browsing this continuous page is started according to the direction and speed of the configured browsing mode so as to load more information items. In this way, a user can browse a page without any human intervention. In addition, the process of automatically browsing the continuous page will be stopped when it is detected that an end of the continuous page has been reached; the process of automatically browsing the continuous page will be stopped when a third touch operation is detected. In this embodiment, the third touch operation may be a tap operation in the 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> technology.

[78] Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 and the schematic diagram shown in FIG. 6, this embodiment adopts a customized method to configure the direction and speed of automatically browsing a continuous page, and automatically browses a continuous page according to the configuration result, which can realize automated browsing, and provide users with a good interactive experience.

[79] In summary, in the sliding-based page browsing scenario, 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> and the option selected by the user can be used for browsing mode configuration, and then the continuous page can be automatically browsed according to the configuration result. In this way, the continuous automatic loading of the page can be achieved without the need for continuous human touch operations, which thus improves the user interaction experience. In addition, the configuration process of browsing a continuous page can be achieved by virtue of the 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> technology that comes with a mobile phone, without adding any extra icons on the interface, thereby saving the interface space. Moreover, this method can be realized by means of the 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> technology of the mobile phone alone, without relying on any third-party tool support. It does not rely on any third- party tool support and is easy to use.

[80] Based on the above embodiments and as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the present disclosure provides a way to perform browsing mode configuration through customization and selection. Of course, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, a more diversified configuration mode may also be used to complete the configuration for automatically browsing a continuous page in direction and speed, for example, setting the default automatic sliding browsing direction to be up or down, and then selecting the browsing speed through a slider, which can also achieve the effect of configuring the browsing direction and speed. There are many similar ways for this purpose. This present disclosure will not list all of the options. A configuration method may include automatically browsing pages continuously based on the 3D Touch<com:Sup>TM< / com:Sup> technology.
