[0042] First embodiment

[0043] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a timing control method according to the first embodiment. Figure 1 The timing control method of this embodiment is applied to a terminal, and includes:

[0044] Step 110: receiving a control operation through a designated area of ​​the screen.

[0045] The screen is the display screen of the terminal, and the designated area is a specific area in the screen. A specific area in the screen is divided for receiving the control operation of the timing function, which can support the timing control operation in any interface without finding the timing entrance. In this embodiment, the designated area is the area around the screen punching position. Please combine Figure 2 The screen 210 has an opening 220 formed at the punching position, and an area 230 on the screen 210 surrounding the opening 220 is a designated area, and the area 230 is also an interactive operation hot zone. The operation hot zone includes a display area for all information. This embodiment does not limit the position, shape, and specific size of the opening 230.

[0046] The control operation is a touch operation input by the user, including but not limited to long pressing, double clicking, clockwise (or counterclockwise) rotation and sliding, etc. Different control operations correspond to different control functions.

[0047] Step 120, performing timing control according to the control operation.

[0048] In this embodiment, timing control is performed according to the control operation, including:

[0049] Matching the control operation with at least one preset operation;

[0050] The timing is controlled according to the matching result and the current state of the timing function.

[0051] Among them, at least one preset operation includes but is not limited to long press, double click, clockwise (or counterclockwise) rotation and sliding, etc. Different preset operations correspond to different control functions. When the user operates in the designated area, the operation input by the user is matched with all the preset operations to obtain the control operation input by the user, and then according to the different control operations, the control of different states of the timing function is executed.

[0052] When the control operation matches the first preset operation and the current state of the timing function is off, the timing function is turned on. The first preset operation is, for example, a long press. When the user long presses in the designated area, it is determined that the user's intention is to turn the timing function on and off. At this time, if the timing function is currently off, the timing function is turned on, that is, the timing function is activated. At this time, the timing can be started immediately or paused. After the timing function is turned on, the corresponding timing screen is displayed. In this embodiment, when the timing function is turned on, the timing screen includes the timing progress and the timing duration. Please refer to Figure 3 , the timing screen is displayed in the area 230, and the timing progress is a timing progress bar 250 displayed in a circle around the opening 220. At this time, a related prompt of the timing duration is displayed, such as "the timing function is started, and the default timing is 5 minutes". In actual implementation, the timing duration disappears after the timing screen displays the first preset duration, for example, disappears after displaying 2 seconds, which serves as a prompt. This embodiment does not limit the specific style of the default timing duration and the timing progress bar.

[0053] When the control operation matches the first preset operation and the current state of the timing function is on, the timing function is turned off. When the user long presses the designated area again, it is determined that the user intends to turn the timing function on and off. At this time, if the timing function is currently on, the timing function is turned off. After the timing function is turned off, the timing screen disappears.

[0054] When the control operation matches the second preset operation and the current state of the timing function is the timing state, the timing is paused. The second preset operation is, for example, a double-click. During the timing process, when the user double-clicks in the designated area, it is determined that the user's intention is to pause / control the timing function. At this time, if the timing function is currently in the timing state, the timing is paused. After the timing is paused, the corresponding timing screen is displayed. In this embodiment, when the timing is paused, the timing screen includes the timing progress and timing duration. Please refer to Figure 4The timing screen is displayed in the area 230, the timing progress is a timing progress bar 250 displayed in a circle around the opening 220, the timing duration is the current remaining timing duration, for example, 04'30", and a pause sign can also be displayed in front of the timing duration. In actual implementation, the timing duration disappears after the timing screen displays the first preset duration, for example, disappears after displaying for 2 seconds, which serves as a prompt.

[0055] When the control operation matches the second preset operation and the current state of the timing function is the pause timing state, the timing starts. During the timing process, when the user double-clicks in the designated area again, it is determined that the user's intention is to pause / control the timing function. At this time, if the timing function is currently in the pause timing state, the timing starts. After the timing starts, the corresponding timing screen is displayed. In this embodiment, when the timing starts, the timing screen includes the timing progress and the timing duration. Please refer to the following figure for details. Figure 4 The timing screen is displayed in the area 230. The timing progress is a timing progress bar 250 displayed in a circle around the opening 220 and becomes shorter as the timing duration decreases. The timing duration is the current remaining timing duration, for example, 04'30". A start mark can also be displayed in front of the timing duration. In actual implementation, the timing duration disappears after the timing screen displays the first preset duration, for example, disappears after being displayed for 2 seconds, to serve as a prompt.

[0056] When the control operation matches the third preset operation and the current state of the timing function is on, the timing duration is adjusted according to the control operation. The third preset operation is, for example, a clockwise (or counterclockwise) rotational slide. During the timing process, when the user performs a clockwise (or counterclockwise) rotational slide in the designated area, the timing duration can be reduced (or increased). In this embodiment, the clockwise (or counterclockwise) rotational slide is a clockwise (or counterclockwise) rotational slide around the punch position of the screen. When adjusting the timing duration, the corresponding timing screen is displayed. In this embodiment, when adjusting the timing duration, the timing screen includes the timing progress and the timing duration. Please combine Figure 4 The timing screen is displayed in the area 230. The timing progress is a timing progress bar 250 displayed in a circle around the opening 220 and becomes shorter or longer with the operation. The timing duration is the adjustment result of the control operation, for example, the result of adjustment based on 04′30″. In actual implementation, the timing duration disappears after the timing screen displays the first preset duration, or disappears after the third preset operation disappears after the first preset duration, for example, disappears after being displayed for 2s, to serve as a prompt. After performing the third preset operation, if the timing function is currently in the timing state, the timing continues. If the timing function is currently still in the paused timing state, the timing is still paused. That is to say, the third preset operation can be performed during the timing or paused timing process.

[0057] The first preset operation, the second preset operation and the third preset operation can be performed alternately without conflicting with each other, thereby realizing convenient control of the timing function, and the timing process can be operated and viewed on any interface.

[0058] In one embodiment, the timing control method of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0059] If the current state is a timing state, the first prompt information is output when the timing duration is reduced to the second preset duration.

[0060] Among them, some time before the timing ends, that is, when the timing duration is reduced to a second preset duration (for example, 10s), the timing progress bar displayed around the opening flashes (or in other visual forms) to prompt that the timing time is about to end.

[0061] In one embodiment, the timing control method of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0062] When the timing ends, the second prompt information is output.

[0063] When the timing ends, a reminder is given by playing sound effects and / or vibrating. The reminder can be stopped by clicking on the designated area and the timing duration is reset to the default timing duration.

[0064] The following combination Figure 5 The actual application process of the timing control method of this embodiment is described.

[0065] When the timing function is in the off state, if the user long presses the designated area of ​​the screen, the designated area of ​​the screen receives the first preset operation, and the timing function is turned on (the default is to pause the timing).

[0066] After the timing function is turned on, if the user long presses the designated area of ​​the screen, the timing function can be turned off again. If the user double-clicks the designated area of ​​the screen, the designated area of ​​the screen receives the second preset operation and starts timing.

[0067] After the timing starts, if the user double-clicks in the designated area of ​​the screen, the designated area of ​​the screen receives the second preset operation and the timing is paused. At this time, if the user double-clicks in the designated area of ​​the screen again, the designated area of ​​the screen receives the second preset operation and the timing continues, otherwise the timing is always paused.

[0068] During the timing process, if the user's finger or operating body rotates and slides clockwise (or counterclockwise) around the punch position of the screen, the designated area of ​​the screen receives a third preset operation, adjusts the timing duration according to the direction of the rotation and sliding, and continues to count, thereby realizing real-time adjustment of the timing duration during the timing process.

[0069] During the timing process, real-time monitoring is performed to determine whether the timing duration is reduced to the second preset duration. If not, the timing is continued. If the timing duration is reduced to the second preset duration, a first prompt message is output, such as the timing progress bar displayed around the opening flashing to indicate that the timing time is about to end.

[0070] After outputting the first prompt information, real-time monitoring is performed to determine whether the timing has ended. If not, the timing continues. If the timing has ended, a second prompt information is output, such as playing a sound effect and / or vibrating, to indicate the end of the timing.

[0071] Understandably, Figure 5 The process shown is only one possible process of timing control. During the operation of the timing function, there will be other possible processes according to the actual operation of the user. The sequence and corresponding relationship of the steps in the process are not limited to this.

[0072] This embodiment provides a timing method suitable for a terminal with a screen hole, which is a method of displaying timing information in a normalized manner during the use of the terminal. Through the user's interactive operation, the timing function can be enabled at any time, the timing time length can be efficiently adjusted, the timing status can be checked at any time, and the effect of early warning prompts before the timing ends can be obtained. The timing control method of this embodiment supports real-time viewing of the timing process and progress on any interface, which facilitates users to use the timing function in conjunction with other original functions of the terminal, improves the convenience, ease of use, compatibility, and timeliness of the countdown function, and thus improves the user experience of the timing function.

[0080] The peripheral interface 108 couples various input / output devices to the CPU and the memory 102. The processor 106 runs various software and instructions in the memory 102 to perform various functions of the terminal 10 and perform data processing.

[0081] In some embodiments, the peripheral interface 108, the processor 106, and the memory controller 104 can be implemented in a single chip. In other embodiments, they can be implemented in separate chips.

[0082] The radio frequency module 150 is used to receive and send electromagnetic waves, realize the mutual conversion between electromagnetic waves and electrical signals, and thus communicate with a communication network or other devices.
