Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of computer technology, and specifically relates to a method, device, and electronic device for controlling dragging and dropping objects in an object collection. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of computer technology, the size of an object collection is limited by the display size of the display device (including PC games, mobile games, etc.). When there are many objects arranged in a certain area, the objects are usually arranged in a stacking manner to solve the problem of object arrangement. The so-called stacking arrangement refers to the arrangement of all objects in a collection in a partially overlapping manner according to a predetermined order. The stacking order of the objects determines their overlapping display order. Because the size of the object collection is limited by the display size of the display device, when the size of the object collection is fixed, the more unit objects in the collection, the larger the overlapping area between the unit objects.

[0003] Today, gaming is a common form of entertainment in people's daily lives. Many game products currently incorporate the concept of "hand cards." A hand card is an instance of a collection of objects; a single hand card refers to an object, and a collection of multiple objects is called a hand set. Game products with a hand card concept typically require the ability to play cards. To provide users with a realistic card-playing experience, this is usually achieved through drag-and-drop gestures. This drag-and-drop method is used across various game platforms, including PC games, mobile games, web games, and cloud games. PC games refer to games running on a personal computer (PC); mobile games refer to games running on mobile devices (such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches); web games refer to games running on a web browser; and cloud games refer to games running on a game server. The above example of a hand set illustrates what a drag-and-drop control method for object collections is, providing a better understanding of object collection drag-and-drop for those skilled in the art.

[0004] Currently in games, the interaction between objects within a collection is typically based on the hotspot area of ​​each object to receive input signals. If the action of removing an object from the collection is implemented using drag-and-drop, there are generally two methods: First, the finger / mouse is pressed down within the effective hotspot area of ​​the object and held in place. The industry standard for this is as follows: By setting a virtual hotspot line that allows drag events to be activated, when the finger / mouse is pressed down within the effective hotspot area of ​​the object and held in place, the finger / mouse remains pressed down and drags within a certain directional range. When the drag exceeds the virtual hotspot line, the object is removed from the collection.

[0005] Due to the limited size of display devices, in order to facilitate users to quickly browse the information of each object in the object collection, the game product uses drag and drop on touch screen devices and cursor hover on PC devices to view each object in the collection one by one. The specific implementation method is as follows: on the touch screen device, when the finger is pressed down on the effective hot area of ​​a unit object and held down without being lifted, the finger is dragged towards other objects. When the finger and the touch point of the touch screen device enter the effective hot area of ​​another object, the other object will be identified as the currently active object, and the previous object will be invalidated.

[0006] Given the above context, if the number of unit objects in an object collection exceeds a certain limit, with a fixed collection size, the overlapping area of ​​the unit objects will increase, resulting in a smaller effective hotspot area for each unit object. Because users may have operational deviations when dragging objects out of the collection, the dragging direction might lead to other objects, resulting in the dragged object not being the one the user actually wants. Therefore, the success rate of dragging the object the user truly wants decreases significantly as the number of unit objects in the collection increases, leading to a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a method, device and electronic device for controlling dragging objects in an object collection, which is used to solve the problem of decreasing success rate of dragging the object that the user actually wants to drag when the number of unit objects in the object collection increases.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] The first aspect of this invention provides a method for controlling dragging and dropping objects in an object collection, comprising the following steps:

[0010] An interface that displays a collection of objects in a terminal, the collection of objects comprising several objects;

[0011] Set the switching delay time for draggable objects in an object collection;

[0012] Record the selected object as a draggable object, start a press timer for the draggable object, and compare the timer duration with the switching delay time in real time.

[0013] If the timer is pressed for less than the toggle delay time, the draggable object will be locked and cannot be modified.

[0014] If the timer is pressed for a period longer than the toggle delay time, the draggable object will be unlocked, and the selected object after unlocking will be re-recorded as a draggable object.

[0015] In response to a drag-triggered action that exceeds the virtual hot zone line, a draggable object is dragged out of the object collection.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the switching delay time is configured as an arbitrary floating-point number, where the arbitrary floating-point number is greater than 0.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the terminal includes a touch-screen display.

[0018] In one possible implementation, a finger presses down on the control hot zone of an object on the touch terminal, and this object is recorded as the selected object.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the drag-and-drop action is triggered by finger dragging.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the terminal includes a display screen with an external mouse.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the virtual cursor is controlled to hover within the object's control hotspot, and this object is recorded as the selected object.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the drag-triggered action is to generate a virtual click point and hold it while dragging.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the object is a hand of cards in a computer game.

[0024] A second aspect of the present invention provides a control device for dragging objects in an object collection, comprising:

[0025] The display module is used to display the interface of the object collection, which includes a number of objects;

[0026] The time setting module is used to set the switching delay time for draggable objects in an object collection;

[0027] The recording module is used to record that the selected object is a draggable object;

[0028] The timer start module is used to start a press timer for draggable objects;

[0029] The comparison module is used to compare the timer duration with the switching delay duration in real time.

[0030] If the timer is pressed for less than the toggle delay time, the draggable object will be locked and cannot be modified.

[0031] If the timer is pressed for a period longer than the toggle delay time, the draggable object will be unlocked, and the selected object after unlocking will be re-recorded as a draggable object.

[0032] The drag-triggered response module is used to respond to drag-triggered actions that exceed the virtual hot zone line, causing draggable objects to be dragged out of the object collection.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the switching delay time is configured as an arbitrary floating-point number, where the arbitrary floating-point number is greater than 0.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the display module is a touch-sensitive display screen.

[0035] In one possible implementation, a finger presses down on the control hot zone of an object on the touch terminal, and this object is recorded as the selected object.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the drag-and-drop action is triggered by finger dragging.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the display module is a display screen that includes an external mouse.

[0038] In one possible implementation, the virtual cursor is controlled to hover within the object's control hotspot, and this object is recorded as the selected object.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the drag-triggered action is to generate a virtual click point and hold it while dragging.

[0040] In one possible implementation, the object is a hand of cards in a computer game.

[0041] A third aspect of the present invention provides an electronic device, the electronic device including one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more memories storing at least one piece of program code, the at least one piece of program code being loaded and executed by the one or more processors to implement the operation performed by the control method for dragging objects in an object collection as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0042] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a storage medium storing at least one piece of program code, which is loaded and executed by a processor to implement the operation performed by the control method for dragging objects in an object collection as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0043] The present invention offers the following advantages: During the drag-and-drop operation of objects within an object collection using a finger or mouse, a configurable constant, defined as the switching delay time for draggable objects, is introduced. This allows for manual locking and switching of objects within the draggable object collection based on a time dimension. This avoids object switching due to user error, ensuring that the dragged object is the one the user actually wants when the drag exceeds the virtual hotspot line. Furthermore, it significantly reduces the drop in the success rate of dragging the desired object as the number of objects in the collection increases, ultimately improving the user's gaming experience. The switching delay time is a configurable time constant; in most game scenarios, users need sufficient time to confirm an object before dragging it out of the collection. This solution can be applied to drag-and-drop control of cards in computer games, drag-and-drop selection of food in ordering scenarios, and drag-and-drop selection of selected objects in shopping scenarios, among others.

[0061] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] Reference Figure 1The diagram shows a flowchart of the control method for dragging objects in an object collection according to an embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:

[0063] S10, Display the interface of the object collection in the terminal, the object collection including a number of objects;

[0064] S20, Set the switching delay time for draggable objects in the object collection;

[0065] S30: Record the selected object as a draggable object, start a press timer for the draggable object, and compare the timer duration with the switching delay time in real time.

[0066] If the timer is pressed for less than the toggle delay time, the draggable object will be locked and cannot be modified.

[0067] If the timer is pressed for a period longer than the toggle delay time, the draggable object will be unlocked, and the selected object after unlocking will be re-recorded as a draggable object.

[0068] S40, in response to a drag-triggered action that exceeds the virtual hot zone line, the draggable object is dragged out of the object collection.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, the terminal includes a touch-screen display. When a finger presses on the control area of ​​an object on the touch-screen terminal, this object is recorded as the selected object. The drag-triggered action is finger dragging.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, the terminal includes a display screen with an external mouse, controlling a virtual cursor to hover within the object's control hotspot, and this object is recorded as the selected object. The drag-triggered action involves generating a virtual click point and holding it while dragging. That is, the virtual cursor generates a virtual click point on the screen as the starting point of the drag trajectory, and by holding the click point (keeping the mouse clicked), a drag trajectory can be generated.

[0071] In a specific application example, the implementation process of using objects in an object collection as hand cards in a computer game is explained in detail. For the target game, the game screen can be displayed on a display device; for ease of understanding, in the following description, hand cards are used to represent objects, and hand card sets are used to represent object collections. For example... Figure 2As shown, hand group 11 can be considered a collection of objects containing multiple cards. This application example only shows 10 cards for illustration, with cards 6 and 7 being the focus of subsequent descriptions. The virtual hotspot line 12 is the threshold line for cards to be dragged out of hand group 11. When a card is dragged beyond the virtual hotspot line 12, the client device will consider that card as having been dragged out of the hand group. Assume that the parameter used by the virtual hotspot line 12 to determine which card is dragged out each time is defined as the hand object X that can currently be dragged out of the hand group.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, hand 6 has a hand manipulation hotspot 61. It can be seen that when the size of hand set 11 is fixed, if the number of individual hand cards increases, currently... Figure 2 The example shows 10 cards in a hand. If this number is increased to 20, it can be inferred that the control hotspot for each card will decrease. In existing technology, the card object X that can be dragged out is determined by the control hotspot of the card held by the finger or mouse before dragging it to the virtual hotspot line 12. In this specific application embodiment, the client device will pre-establish a configuration constant, defined as the switching delay time t of the card object X that can be dragged out. 延时 This constant t 延时 It can be freely configured to any floating-point number, and any floating-point number is greater than 0.

[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, if it is a touch terminal, when a finger is pressed within the control area of ​​the hand card 6 on the touch terminal (i.e., the display device of the target game), the hand card 6 is processed as "selected". This state can be displayed on the interface in various ways; in this embodiment, the "currently selected state" of the hand card 6 is represented by the hand card 6 rising to a certain height on the Y-axis. If it is a PC, when the mouse controls the virtual cursor to hover within the control area of ​​the hand card 6 on the display device of the target game, the hand card 6 is processed as "selected".

[0074] In addition, if it is a touch terminal, the finger is pressed within the hand control hotspot of hand card 6 on the touch screen device (i.e., the display device of the target game); if it is a PC, the mouse is used on the display device of the target game, the virtual cursor is hovered over the hand control hotspot of hand card 6 and the left mouse button is pressed; at this time, the client device records the following data parameters: the first is that for virtual hotspot line 12, the hand card object X that can be dragged out is hand card 6; the second is the pressing duration t of hand card 6 that can be controlled. 按下 And the client device supports t 按下 Start timing and compare t in real time. 按下 With t 延时In this specific application embodiment, the following logical relationship is proposed regarding the size of the [object / structure]:

[0075] If t 按下 <t 延时 If so, the hand object X that can be dragged out is locked and cannot be changed;

[0076] If t 按下 >t 延时 If so, the hand card object X that can be dragged out of the hand group is unlocked. At this time, the hand card object X is determined according to the hand card control hot zone of the finger or mouse. The selected object after unlocking is recorded as the draggable object again.

[0077] like Figure 5 As shown, drag trajectory 13 represents the movement trajectory of the hand card 6 after the finger or mouse is pressed and dragged; it can be seen that in drag trajectory 13, the finger or mouse will drag through the hand card control hot zone 71 of the hand card 7, and finally cross the virtual hot zone line 12 above the hand card control hot zone 71.

[0078] like Figure 6 As shown, because the finger or mouse click and drag has entered the hand control hotspot 71 of hand card 7, hand card 7 will be processed as "currently selected". This state can be represented in various ways on the interface; in this embodiment, the "currently selected state" of hand card 7 is represented by hand card 7 rising to a certain height on the y-axis; at this time, although hand card 7 is in the "currently selected state", for the virtual hotspot line 12, the hand card object X that can be dragged out will be adjusted according to the client device's t 按下 With t 延时 After a real-time comparison of the sizes, two scenarios may occur:

[0079] Case 1: t 按下 <t 延时 If the current draggable hand object X = hand 6, it cannot be changed to hand 7;

[0080] Case 2: t 按下 >t 延时 If so, the hand object X that can be dragged out is unlocked. At this time, the finger or mouse is currently in the hand control hotspot 71 of hand 7. Therefore, the hand object X that can be dragged out is hand 7, which means that the draggable hand object X has been switched.

[0081] Based on the two scenarios above, the following events will occur:

[0082] like Figure 7The following is the immediate event following situation 1: when the finger or mouse drags beyond the virtual hot zone line 12, the client device determines that the current hand card object X = hand card 6 can be dragged out of the hand card group, and the client device drags hand card 6 out of the hand card group 11.

[0083] like Figure 8 The following is the immediate event following situation 2: when the finger or mouse drags beyond the virtual hot zone line 12, the client device determines that the hand object X = hand 7 can be dragged out of the hand group, and the client device drags hand 7 out of hand group 11.

[0084] The above embodiments illustrate the specific implementation methods of touch-screen displays and external mouse displays using card examples. Next, this application will use a large fixed touchscreen device as an example to describe the specific implementation methods, specifically a restaurant touchscreen ordering machine.

[0085] For a specific food order, a display device can be used to show the order screen. For ease of understanding, in the following explanation, food items are used to represent objects, and food groups are used to represent collections of objects. For example... Figure 9 As shown, food group 21 can be considered a collection of objects containing multiple foods. Food group 21, as a list, cannot be scrolled; that is, the total width of the list is fixed. If the number of foods increases, the spacing between them decreases. Only 11 foods are shown here for illustration, with hamburger A1 and hamburger B1 being the focus of later description. The virtual heatsink line 22 is the threshold line created by dragging food from food group 21. When food is dragged beyond the virtual heatsink line 22, the client device considers that food to be dragged out of the food group. Let's assume the parameter used by the virtual heatsink line 22 to determine which food is dragged out of the food group is defined as the food object Y that can be dragged out of the food group. The UI plate 23 is a UI representation object in the display device, meaning that when food is dragged past the virtual heatsink line 22, and the finger is lifted, the food object X that was dragged out of the food group is automatically placed into the UI plate 23.

[0086] like Figure 10 As shown, hamburger A1 has a food manipulation heat zone A2. It can be seen that when the size of food group 11 is constant, if the number of food items per unit increases, currently... Figure 10 The example shows 11 food items. If the number is increased to 20, it can be inferred that the control area of ​​each food item will decrease. In existing technical solutions (not in this embodiment), the food object Y that can be dragged out of the food group is determined based on the control area of ​​the food currently held by the finger before dragging to the virtual hotspot line 12. In the embodiment, the client device pre-establishes a configuration constant, defined as t of the food object Y that can be dragged out of the food group.延时 .

[0087] like Figure 11 As shown, as a large fixed touchscreen device, when a finger is pressed within the food control hotspot of hamburger A1 on the touchscreen device (i.e., the display device for the target order), hamburger A1 is processed as being in a "selected state." The representation of this state on the interface can be determined by the specific design. In this embodiment, the "currently selected state" of hamburger A1 is represented by hamburger A1 rising to a certain height along the Y-axis. At this time, the client device records data parameters: the first is that, for the virtual hotspot line 22, the currently draggable food object Y = hamburger A1; the second is the currently controllable t of hamburger A1. 按下 And the client device supports t 按下 Start timing and compare t in real time. 按下 With t 延时 Regarding the size, the following logical relationship is proposed in the embodiments of this application:

[0088] If t 按下 <t 延时 If this happens, the food object Y that can be dragged out of the food group is locked and cannot be changed.

[0089] If t 按下 >t 延时 If the food object Y that can be dragged out of the food group is unlocked, the food object Y will be determined based on the food control hot zone of the food currently being touched by the finger. In other words, only at this time can the food object Y be switched.

[0090] like Figure 12 As shown, drag trajectory 9 represents the movement trajectory of the finger after pressing and holding hamburger A1; it can be seen that in drag trajectory 23, the finger will drag through the food control hot zone B2 of hamburger B1, and finally cross the virtual hot zone line 22 above the food control hot zone B2.

[0091] like Figure 13 As shown, because the finger has been pressed and dragged into the food control hotspot B2 of hamburger B1, hamburger B1 will be processed by the client as "currently selected". This state can be represented in various ways on the interface; in this embodiment, the "currently selected state" of hamburger B1 is represented by hamburger B1 rising to a certain height on the y-axis; at this time, although hamburger B1 is in the "currently selected state", for the virtual hotspot line 22, the food object Y of the currently draggable food group will be adjusted according to the client device's t 按下 With t 延时 After a real-time comparison of the sizes, two scenarios may occur:

[0092] Case 1: t 按下 <t延时 If the food object Y = Hamburger A1 that can be dragged out of the food group cannot be changed to Hamburger B2;

[0093] Case 2: t 按下 >t 延时 If the current draggable food group food object Y is unlocked, the finger is currently positioned in the food control hotspot B2 of hamburger B1. Therefore, the current draggable food group food object Y = hamburger B1, meaning that food object Y has been switched.

[0094] Based on the two scenarios above, the following events will occur:

[0095] like Figure 14 The following is the immediate event following situation 1: when the finger drags beyond the virtual hot zone line 22, the client device determines that the food object Y = hamburger A1 can be dragged out of the food group, and the client device drags hamburger A1 out of the food group 11.

[0096] like Figure 15 The following is the immediate event following scenario 2: when the finger drags beyond the virtual hot zone line 22, the client device determines that the food object X = hamburger B1 can be dragged out of the food group, and the client device drags hamburger B1 out of the food group 11.

[0097] For embodiments corresponding to the method of this invention, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 16 The diagram shows a schematic of a control device for dragging objects in an object collection according to an embodiment of the present invention. The device includes: a display module 101 for displaying the interface of the object collection, which includes several objects; a time setting module 102 for setting a switching delay time for draggable objects in the object collection; a recording module 103 for recording selected objects as draggable objects; a timer start module 104 for starting a timer for draggable objects; a comparison module 105 for comparing the timer duration with the switching delay time in real time. If the timer duration is less than the switching delay time, the draggable object is locked and cannot be changed; if the timer duration is greater than the switching delay time, the draggable object is unlocked, and the selected object after unlocking is re-recorded as a draggable object; and a drag trigger response module 106 for responding to dragging actions exceeding virtual hotspot lines, causing the draggable object to be dragged out of the object collection.

[0098] In one embodiment of the present invention, the display module 101 can be a touch-sensitive display screen, in which case touch operations are performed directly on the display screen. When a finger presses down within the control hot zone of an object on the touch terminal, this object is recorded as the selected object. The drag-triggered action is finger dragging.

[0099] In one embodiment of the present invention, the display module 101 can be a display screen for an external mouse. When the virtual cursor of the mouse hovers over the object's control area, this object is recorded as the selected object. The drag-triggered action involves generating a virtual click point and holding it while dragging.

[0100] In one embodiment of the present invention, the switching delay time is configured as an arbitrary floating-point number, wherein the arbitrary floating-point number is greater than 0.

[0101] In a specific application example, the implementation process of using objects in an object collection as hand cards in a computer game is explained in detail. For the target game, the game screen can be displayed on a display device; for ease of understanding, in the following description, hand cards are used to represent objects, and hand card sets are used to represent object collections. For example... Figure 2 As shown, hand group 11 can be considered a collection of objects containing multiple cards. This application example only shows 10 cards for illustration, with cards 6 and 7 being the focus of subsequent descriptions. The virtual hotspot line 12 is the threshold line for cards to be dragged out of hand group 11. When a card is dragged beyond the virtual hotspot line 12, the client device will consider that card as having been dragged out of the hand group. Assume that the parameter used by the virtual hotspot line 12 to determine which card is dragged out each time is defined as the hand object X that can currently be dragged out of the hand group.

[0102] like Figure 3 As shown, hand 6 has a hand manipulation hotspot 61. It can be seen that when the size of hand set 11 is fixed, if the number of individual hand cards increases, currently... Figure 2 The example shows 10 cards in a hand. If this number is increased to 20, it can be inferred that the control hotspot for each card will decrease. In existing technology, the card object X that can be dragged out is determined by the control hotspot of the card held by the finger or mouse before dragging it to the virtual hotspot line 12. In this specific application embodiment, the client device will pre-establish a configuration constant, defined as the switching delay time t of the card object X that can be dragged out. 延时 This constant t 延时 It can be freely configured to any floating-point number, and any floating-point number is greater than 0.

[0103] like Figure 4As shown, if it is a touch terminal, when a finger is pressed within the control area of ​​the hand card 6 on the touch terminal (i.e., the display device of the target game), the hand card 6 is processed as "selected". This state can be displayed on the interface in various ways; in this embodiment, the "currently selected state" of the hand card 6 is represented by the hand card 6 rising to a certain height on the Y-axis. If it is a PC, when the mouse controls the virtual cursor to hover within the control area of ​​the hand card 6 on the display device of the target game, the hand card 6 is processed as "selected".

[0104] In addition, if it is a touch terminal, the finger is pressed within the hand control hotspot of hand card 6 on the touch screen device (i.e., the display device of the target game); if it is a PC, the mouse is used on the display device of the target game, the virtual cursor is hovered over the hand control hotspot of hand card 6 and the left mouse button is pressed; at this time, the client device records the following data parameters: the first is that for virtual hotspot line 12, the hand card object X that can be dragged out is hand card 6; the second is the pressing duration t of hand card 6 that can be controlled. 按下 And the client device supports t 按下 Start timing and compare t in real time. 按下 With t 延时 In this specific application embodiment, the following logical relationship is proposed regarding the size of the [object / structure]:

[0105] If t 按下 <t 延时 If so, the hand object X that can be dragged out is locked and cannot be changed;

[0106] If t 按下 >t 延时 If so, the hand card object X that can be dragged out of the hand group is unlocked. At this time, the hand card object X is determined according to the hand card control hot zone of the finger or mouse. The selected object after unlocking is recorded as the draggable object again.

[0107] like Figure 5 As shown, drag trajectory 13 represents the movement trajectory of the hand card 6 after the finger or mouse is pressed and dragged; it can be seen that in drag trajectory 13, the finger or mouse will drag through the hand card control hot zone 71 of the hand card 7, and finally cross the virtual hot zone line 12 above the hand card control hot zone 71.

[0108] like Figure 6As shown, because the finger or mouse click and drag has entered the hand control hotspot 71 of hand card 7, hand card 7 will be processed as "currently selected". This state can be represented in various ways on the interface; in this embodiment, the "currently selected state" of hand card 7 is represented by hand card 7 rising to a certain height on the y-axis; at this time, although hand card 7 is in the "currently selected state", for the virtual hotspot line 12, the hand card object X that can be dragged out will be adjusted according to the client device's t 按下 With t 延时 After a real-time comparison of the sizes, two scenarios may occur:

[0109] Case 1: t 按下 <t 延时 If the current draggable hand object X = hand 6, it cannot be changed to hand 7;

[0110] Case 2: t 按下 >t 延时 If so, the hand object X that can be dragged out is unlocked. At this time, the finger or mouse is currently in the hand control hotspot 71 of hand 7. Therefore, the hand object X that can be dragged out is hand 7, which means that the draggable hand object X has been switched.

[0111] Based on the two scenarios above, the following events will occur:

[0112] like Figure 7 The following is the immediate event following situation 1: when the finger or mouse drags beyond the virtual hot zone line 12, the client device determines that the current hand card object X = hand card 6 can be dragged out of the hand card group, and the client device drags hand card 6 out of the hand card group 11.

[0113] like Figure 8 The following is the immediate event following situation 2: when the finger or mouse drags beyond the virtual hot zone line 12, the client device determines that the hand object X = hand 7 can be dragged out of the hand group, and the client device drags hand 7 out of hand group 11.

[0114] The above embodiments illustrate the specific implementation methods of touch-screen displays and external mouse displays using card examples. Next, this application will use a large fixed touchscreen device as an example to describe the specific implementation methods, specifically a restaurant touchscreen ordering machine.

[0115] For a specific food order, a display device can be used to show the order screen. For ease of understanding, in the following explanation, food items are used to represent objects, and food groups are used to represent collections of objects. For example... Figure 9As shown, food group 21 can be considered a collection of objects containing multiple foods. Food group 21, as a list, cannot be scrolled; that is, the total width of the list is fixed. If the number of foods increases, the spacing between them decreases. Only 11 foods are shown here for illustration, with hamburger A1 and hamburger B1 being the focus of later description. The virtual heatsink line 22 is the threshold line created by dragging food from food group 21. When food is dragged beyond the virtual heatsink line 22, the client device considers that food to be dragged out of the food group. Let's assume the parameter used by the virtual heatsink line 22 to determine which food is dragged out of the food group is defined as the food object Y that can be dragged out of the food group. The UI plate 23 is a UI representation object in the display device, meaning that when food is dragged past the virtual heatsink line 22, and the finger is lifted, the food object X that was dragged out of the food group is automatically placed into the UI plate 23.

[0116] like Figure 10 As shown, hamburger A1 has a food manipulation heat zone A2. It can be seen that when the size of food group 11 is constant, if the number of food items per unit increases, currently... Figure 10 The example shows 11 food items. If the number is increased to 20, it can be inferred that the control area of ​​each food item will decrease. In existing technical solutions (not in this embodiment), the food object Y that can be dragged out of the food group is determined based on the control area of ​​the food currently held by the finger before dragging to the virtual hotspot line 12. In the embodiment, the client device pre-establishes a configuration constant, defined as t of the food object Y that can be dragged out of the food group. 延时 .

[0117] like Figure 11 As shown, as a large fixed touchscreen device, when a finger is pressed within the food control hotspot of hamburger A1 on the touchscreen device (i.e., the display device for the target order), hamburger A1 is processed as being in a "selected state." The representation of this state on the interface can be determined by the specific design. In this embodiment, the "currently selected state" of hamburger A1 is represented by hamburger A1 rising to a certain height along the Y-axis. At this time, the client device records data parameters: the first is that, for the virtual hotspot line 22, the currently draggable food object Y = hamburger A1; the second is the currently controllable t of hamburger A1. 按下 And the client device supports t 按下 Start timing and compare t in real time. 按下 With t 延时 Regarding the size, the following logical relationship is proposed in the embodiments of this application:

[0118] If t 按下 <t 延时If this happens, the food object Y that can be dragged out of the food group is locked and cannot be changed.

[0119] If t 按下 >t 延时 If the food object Y that can be dragged out of the food group is unlocked, the food object Y will be determined based on the food control hot zone of the food currently being touched by the finger. In other words, only at this time can the food object Y be switched.

[0120] like Figure 12 As shown, drag trajectory 9 represents the movement trajectory of the finger after pressing and holding hamburger A1; it can be seen that in drag trajectory 23, the finger will drag through the food control hot zone B2 of hamburger B1, and finally cross the virtual hot zone line 22 above the food control hot zone B2.

[0121] like Figure 13 As shown, because the finger has been pressed and dragged into the food control hotspot B2 of hamburger B1, hamburger B1 will be processed by the client as "currently selected". This state can be represented in various ways on the interface; in this embodiment, the "currently selected state" of hamburger B1 is represented by hamburger B1 rising to a certain height on the y-axis; at this time, although hamburger B1 is in the "currently selected state", for the virtual hotspot line 22, the food object Y of the currently draggable food group will be adjusted according to the client device's t 按下 With t 延时 After a real-time comparison of the sizes, two scenarios may occur:

[0122] Case 1: t 按下 <t 延时 If the food object Y = Hamburger A1 that can be dragged out of the food group cannot be changed to Hamburger B2;

[0123] Case 2: t 按下 >t 延时 If the current draggable food group food object Y is unlocked, the finger is currently positioned in the food control hotspot B2 of hamburger B1. Therefore, the current draggable food group food object Y = hamburger B1, meaning that food object Y has been switched.

[0124] Based on the two scenarios above, the following events will occur:

[0125] like Figure 14 The following is the immediate event following situation 1: when the finger drags beyond the virtual hot zone line 22, the client device determines that the food object Y = hamburger A1 can be dragged out of the food group, and the client device drags hamburger A1 out of the food group 11.

[0126] like Figure 15The following is the immediate event following scenario 2: when the finger drags beyond the virtual hot zone line 22, the client device determines that the food object X = hamburger B1 can be dragged out of the food group, and the client device drags hamburger B1 out of the food group 11.

Furthermore, these modules can be integrated together as a system-on-chip (SoC). Ultimately, they can all be presented as touch-operated terminals, such as mobile phones and tablets, which can be operated by hand or stylus.
