Technical Field

[0002] With the widespread adoption of mobile office and cloud computing technologies, accessing cloud computers and managing files via mobile devices has become a common need. Currently, sorting files in a terminal file list (such as files in a cloud computer or cloud drive) typically involves long-pressing and dragging list items.

[0003] However, when faced with long lists, users need to press and hold the screen for an extended period and drag to scroll and find the target location. This process is not only prone to inaccurate positioning and interruption due to user fatigue or excessively fast screen scrolling, but also allows only one item to be operated on at a time, resulting in low processing efficiency of the existing method.

[0018] As an optional but non-limiting implementation, in response to a user's active request, sending a prompt message to the user can be done via a pop-up window, where the prompt message can be presented in text format. Furthermore, the pop-up window can also include a selection control allowing the user to choose "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device. It is understood that the above notification and user authorization process is merely illustrative and does not limit the implementation of this application; other methods that comply with relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of this application.

[0019] This application first provides a method for sorting a file list. This embodiment uses an example of applying this method to a mobile terminal (such as a smartphone or tablet) equipped with a touchscreen and pressure sensor for illustration. Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps: In step S110, in response to the file sorting command triggered by the user on the terminal, the file sorting mode is entered.

[0020] Specifically, when users access files in a cloud computer or cloud drive using a mobile device, they can trigger a file sorting command by using a specific gesture if they wish to customize the sorting or categorization of the file list. In one specific implementation, the user can trigger this command by long-pressing any area of ​​the file list. When the mobile terminal detects through its built-in pressure sensor that the pressure applied during the long press exceeds a preset threshold for a certain duration, it determines that the user has triggered a file sorting command, and the system interface then switches to file sorting mode.

[0021] In step S120, in file sorting mode, the items in the file list are presented on the interface in the form of a grid sequence, and a virtual abacus control is displayed on one side of the interface, wherein the beads of the virtual abacus control correspond one-to-one with the file grid in the grid sequence.

[0022] After entering file sorting mode, the system rasterizes the file list. For example... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of a scenario provided by an embodiment of this application. The backend processes each file or folder item and displays it as an independent, regularly arranged "file grid," with all file grids forming a complete grid sequence. Simultaneously, a virtual abacus control, approximately equal in height to the screen, is dynamically generated on the right (or left) side of the interface. Each bead on this abacus control corresponds precisely to a file grid on the left. This mapping relationship is the foundation for the entire solution to achieve accurate positioning. A lever is typically also located in the center of the abacus, serving as a positioning pointer.

[0023] In step S130, the user's selection operation on at least one file raster is received, and the selected file raster and its corresponding beads are highlighted.

[0024] Users can now begin selecting target files to sort or categorize. Users make selections by clicking one or more file grids. Upon receiving a selection, the system immediately provides visual feedback: the selected file grid and its corresponding beads on the virtual abacus on the right are simultaneously highlighted (e.g., by changing color or adding a border), as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is another scenario illustration provided for an embodiment of this application. This step clarifies the objects of subsequent operations (i.e., "which files" will be moved).

[0025] In step S140, the user's operation on the virtual abacus control or associated control area is received, and the target location for file insertion or classification is determined based on the operation.

[0026] In this embodiment, this step is the core of determining the target location of the file (i.e., "where to move it"), and provides multiple interaction methods: Rough location (by associating control areas): such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is another scenario illustration provided for an embodiment of this application. Two pressing areas (area A and area B) are located at the bottom of the interface. When the user presses area A or B, they can control the lever on the abacus to move up or down accordingly, while the file grid sequence on the left scrolls in reverse synchronously. The position of the lever on the abacus visually indicates the approximate position of the currently visible area within the overall file list.

[0027] Precise positioning (through direct bead manipulation): After the user finds the approximate insertion area by scrolling, they can directly move the beads on the virtual abacus with their fingers, just like moving the beads on a real abacus. Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5This is another scenario illustration provided by an embodiment of this application. If a user wishes to insert a selected file between grids E and F, they can move bead Z1 upwards and bead Z2 downwards, thereby "creating" a blank grid area between them. The position of this blank area is the target position. Furthermore, the user can achieve "interval insertion" of files by moving non-adjacent beads (e.g., skipping one bead Z3), thus reserving equidistant insertion positions for multiple files at once.

[0028] In step S150, the selected files are inserted and sorted at the target location, or categorized into the folder corresponding to the target location.

[0029] In this embodiment, for the sorting operation: after the user reserves a blank area by moving the beads, they only need to click on any position in that blank area, and the system will accurately insert all the files selected in step S130 into the file list positions corresponding to that blank area. After completion, the system automatically rearranges all grids to maintain the integrity of the list.

[0030] For categorization operations: such as Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is another scenario illustration provided by an embodiment of this application. If the user's goal is to move the selected files to a certain folder, they only need to click the file grid or bead corresponding to the target folder to confirm. After receiving the confirmation operation, the system will move all the selected files to the target folder.

[0031] In summary, this embodiment, by introducing a virtual abacus control and its unique interactive logic, transforms the complex file list sorting and classification operations into an intuitive, accurate, and engaging "abacus-playing" process. This effectively solves the technical problems of inconvenient operation, inaccurate positioning, and low efficiency of long terminal lists, greatly enhancing the user experience.

[0032] The file list sorting method provided in this application constructs an "select first, locate later" interaction paradigm by rasterizing the file list and establishing a one-to-one mapping relationship with a virtual abacus control. Users can achieve automatic scrolling of the list for rough positioning through pressure-sensitive control, and achieve precise insertion and sorting of selected files or rapid folder categorization by using the unique method of reserving insertion space by moving the beads. This solution effectively solves the technical problems of heavy operational load, inaccurate positioning, and inability to perform batch operations in sorting long lists on the terminal, significantly improving operational efficiency and accuracy, while reducing the cumbersome operation for users and improving the user experience.

[0033] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment provided in this application, when receiving user operations on the virtual abacus control or associated control area, the above step S150 may further include the following steps: In step S151, the user's operation on the associated control area is received; wherein, the associated control area includes a first pressing area for controlling the file list to scroll in a first direction and a second pressing area for controlling the file list to scroll in a second direction.

[0034] In step S152, in response to the operation of the first pressing area or the second pressing area, the lever on the virtual abacus control is moved accordingly in the first direction or the second direction, and the grid sequence is scrolled synchronously.

[0035] In this embodiment, in file sorting mode, a specific associated control area is provided at the bottom of the interface, which includes a first pressing area and a second pressing area. The first pressing area is used to control the file list to scroll in one direction (e.g., upward), while the second pressing area is used to control the file list to scroll in the opposite direction (e.g., downward).

[0036] When the user presses the first pressing area, the action triggers, causing the lever on the virtual abacus control to move upwards; conversely, pressing the second pressing area moves the lever downwards. This lever movement is synchronized with the scrolling of the file grid sequence. Specifically, when the lever moves upwards, the grid sequence scrolls downwards (towards the end of the list), bringing more content from below into the visible area; when the lever moves downwards, the grid sequence scrolls upwards (towards the top of the list). The real-time position of the lever on the virtual abacus provides the user with an intuitive visual reference, clearly indicating the approximate position of the currently visible file grid within the entire file list length.

[0037] This method of controlling scrolling and positioning through separate pressing areas allows users to avoid prolonged pressing and dragging of list content when browsing and locating long lists, effectively preventing issues such as obscuring the operation area and accidentally touching file items.

[0038] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment provided in this application, the specific method of user operation of the associated control area and its response logic are further optimized. Specifically, the user's operation on the first or second pressing area is mainly a pressing operation. To respond to this operation, this method introduces a pressure sensor built into the mobile terminal to achieve more refined and natural interactive control. Therefore, the method further includes the following steps: In step S160, the pressure applied by the user's finger is detected by the pressure sensor built into the terminal.

[0039] In step S170, when the pressing force is greater than a pressing threshold, it is determined that the pressing operation has been received. The movement speed of the lever is positively correlated with the pressing force.

[0040] In this embodiment, when a user presses their finger on the first or second area, the pressure sensor built into the terminal can detect the pressure intensity (p) of the user's finger in real time. The system determines whether the pressure intensity is greater than a preset pressure threshold. When the pressure intensity is greater than this threshold, a valid pressing operation is determined to have been received, and the scrolling control function is activated. At this time, the movement speed (v) of the lever on the virtual abacus control is positively correlated with the real-time pressure intensity (p) of the user's finger.

[0041] This allows users to dynamically control the scrolling speed of the list without changing the pressing position, simply by adjusting the pressure applied with their fingers: the greater the pressure, the faster the lever moves and the list scrolls, suitable for quickly navigating long lists; the less pressure, the slower the scrolling speed, making it easier to make slow, fine-tuning adjustments near the target position.

[0042] This pressure-sensing-based dynamic speed control mapping establishes a human-computer interaction method that is closer to physical intuition. This allows users to navigate and locate quickly and accurately in lengthy lists of documents in a more refined, effortless, and efficient manner, further reducing the user's workload and improving interaction efficiency and user experience.

[0043] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment provided in this application, in order to further optimize the user experience of browsing long lists, especially to reduce hand fatigue caused by prolonged pressing operations, this method also provides an automatic scrolling mode. Therefore, the method may further include the following steps: In step S180, when it is detected that the duration of continuous pressing operation of the user on the first pressing area or the second pressing area exceeds the first preset duration, the automatic scrolling mode is activated.

[0044] The system continuously monitors the user's pressing actions on the first or second pressing area. When the duration of continuous pressing actions on a certain pressing area exceeds a first preset duration (t...), the system will initiate a response. max When the system is in automatic scrolling mode, it will automatically start.

[0045] In step S190, in automatic scrolling mode, the control lever moves at the average speed during the continuous pressing operation period.

[0046] In this embodiment, after entering automatic scrolling mode, the user can release their finger without needing to press again. The system will control the lever on the virtual abacus control and simultaneously move the file grid sequence automatically, according to the average movement speed during the period of continuous pressing before triggering automatic scrolling.

[0047] In this mode, users can free their hands, eliminating the need for continuous pressure. They only need to observe the screen, and when the file list scrolls to near the target area, they can stop automatic scrolling with a simple operation (such as a single or double tap on the screen). This minimizes cognitive and operational load, allowing users to focus on the final, precise location operation. This feature greatly improves the comfort and efficiency of sorting through extremely long lists of files.

[0048] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment provided in this application, in order to enable users to stop automatic scrolling in a timely and convenient manner at a position they deem appropriate, this embodiment further refines the automatic scrolling stopping mechanism. Therefore, the method may further include the following steps: In step S191, in automatic scrolling mode, a touch stop command from the user in the file list area is received.

[0049] When in auto-scrolling mode, the system continuously monitors the user's touch input in the file list area (i.e., the file grid display area on the left). Once a specific touch stop command is received, such as a quick double-tap of the area, the system determines that the user wishes to stop the current auto-scrolling.

[0050] In step S192, in response to the touch stop command, the control lever is moved and the grid sequence is stopped from scrolling.

[0051] The system responds to the touch-activated stop command by stopping the movement of the lever on the virtual abacus control and simultaneously stopping the scrolling of the file grid sequence. At this point, the interface will remain stably positioned at the file list location seen when the user triggered the stop command.

[0052] This mechanism allows users to quickly and accurately interrupt scrolling during automatic scrolling without precisely aiming at a specific button or area. They can simply perform a simple, natural double-tap gesture within the main display area of ​​the file list. This further optimizes the controllability and user experience of the automatic scrolling function, ensuring a smooth and efficient sorting process.

[0053] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment provided in this application, step S140 may further include the following steps: In step S141, a user's manipulation operation on at least two target beads is received. This manipulation operation controls the creation of one or more blank grid areas between the at least two target beads.

[0054] The system receives user input on at least two target beads on the virtual abacus control. Users move the selected beads up or down with their fingers, creating one or more consecutive blank grid areas between them. This interaction highly simulates the user experience of a real abacus, making it intuitive and engaging.

[0055] In step S142, the position of the blank raster area is determined as the target position for file insertion sorting.

[0056] The embodiment directly determines the logical position of this blank grid area in the file list as the target position for file insertion sorting. This reverse operation logic of "reserving space first, then confirming insertion" is fundamentally different from the paradigm of directly dragging file items to uncertain positions in the prior art. It allows users to clearly foresee the exact position where the file will be placed before finally performing the insertion, thereby achieving unprecedented operational precision and significantly reducing the probability of misoperation.

[0057] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment provided in this application, when inserting and sorting the selected file at the target position, step S150 may further include the following steps: In step S153, a touch confirmation operation from the user within the blank grid area is received.

[0058] In step S154, in response to the touch confirmation operation, the selected file is inserted into the file list position corresponding to the blank grid area.

[0059] In this embodiment, the system receives a touch confirmation operation from the user within the blank grid area. This operation can be a simple click gesture, serving as the user's final instruction to insert a file into this position. Subsequently, in response to this touch confirmation operation, the system executes the final sorting logic: inserting all the files selected in step S130 into the logical file list position corresponding to the blank grid area in one go and with precision.

[0060] This embodiment provides users with a final confirmation opportunity, further preventing accidental operations. Simultaneously, it simplifies the complex process of dragging and dropping multiple files into a single click, making batch and precise file insertion exceptionally efficient and reliable. After insertion, the system automatically reorders and renders the file raster sequence, maintaining a clean and consistent list interface.

[0061] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment provided in this application, the above-mentioned tossing operation includes tossing the first abacus in a first direction and tossing the second abacus in a second direction, with N abacus beads spaced apart from the first abacus beads and the second abacus beads, so that when inserting a file, the selected file is spaced N file positions apart from the adjacent files in the file list; where N is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

[0062] The embodiment further clarifies the specific operation method of the user moving the beads and the diverse sorting effects achieved. This embodiment elaborates on how to implement the innovative function of interval insertion.

[0063] Specifically, the user's manipulation operation comprises two actions: moving the first bead in a first direction (e.g., upward) and moving the second bead in a second direction (e.g., downward). Crucially, the first and second beads do not necessarily have to be adjacent on the virtual abacus; they can be spaced N beads apart, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

[0064] When N=0, it means that the first abacus bead and the second abacus bead are adjacent. At this time, a continuous blank area is left between the two abacus beads for inserting files. After insertion, there are no gaps between files.

[0065] When N≥1, for example, N=1, it means that the user has left one unmoved bead between the first and second beads. In this case, the moving operation will create equally spaced blank areas in the file list that can accommodate multiple files. Finally, when inserting in step S150, the selected file will be inserted into this reserved space, ensuring that each inserted file maintains an interval of N file positions between itself and adjacent existing files in the file list.

[0066] This design enables flexible, non-continuous, intermittent insertion, allowing users to achieve complex sorting layouts by selecting multiple files at once and performing a single bead-flipping operation. The visual feedback of this interaction and the final file arrangement are similar to permutation and combination diagrams in high school mathematics, highly aligning with users' psychological expectations and operational intuition. This greatly enriches the operational dimensions and capabilities of file sorting on the terminal and significantly improves efficiency in handling complex sorting scenarios.

[0067] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment provided in this application, if a user wishes to move the selected file to a specific folder, step S150 may further include the following steps: In step S155, the user's selection confirmation operation for the file raster or beads corresponding to the target folder is received.

[0068] In step S156, in response to the selection confirmation operation, the selected file is moved to the target folder.

[0069] In this embodiment, the specific operation process for categorizing selected files into target folders is clearly defined. This process is similar to insertion sort, also utilizing the intuitive mapping characteristics of the virtual abacus control, but it implements the "move to folder" function in file management.

[0070] Specifically, if a user wants to move selected files to a specific folder, after selecting the files, the user clicks the file grid corresponding to the target folder, or the corresponding bead on the virtual abacus to its right, as a final confirmation operation. The system will provide visual feedback for this operation, such as highlighting the folder item, to clarify the user's selection intention. Subsequently, in response to the confirmation operation, the system executes the categorization logic: moving all files selected in step S130 to the target folder at once.

[0071] This implementation makes batch file categorization extremely simple. Users do not need to enter the target folder or use complex multi-level menus. They can quickly categorize batch files by selecting the files once and confirming the target folder once in a unified sorting mode. This greatly improves the efficiency of file management and ensures the continuity and consistency of the operation process.

[0072] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment provided in this application, the method of user operation associated control area is further expanded. In addition to supporting scrolling speed control via pressure intensity, a discrete and precise single-step positioning interaction method is also provided. Therefore, the method may further include the following steps: In step S193, in response to the tap operation, the control lever and grid sequence are moved a distance of one grid height.

[0073] Specifically, receiving user operations on the associated control area includes not only pressing operations, but also tapping operations on the first pressing area or the second pressing area.

[0074] When the system detects a clear tap (such as a quick tap) by the user on any pressing area, it will respond to the tap operation in step S193 by controlling the lever on the virtual abacus control to move precisely up or down by a grid height, and simultaneously controlling the file grid sequence to scroll the position of a file item in the opposite direction.

[0075] This tap-based operation provides a precise, item-by-item adjustment mechanism. Once the user has quickly scrolled to the vicinity of the target area, there's no need for careful, slow adjustments using varying pressure. Simply tap once or multiple times, just like using arrow keys, to move list items one by one to the target position. This provides extremely high positioning accuracy for final file insertion and effectively complements the pressure-sensitive continuous scrolling mode, together creating a complete interactive solution that balances fast navigation over long distances with precise positioning over short distances.

[0076] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment provided in this application, the initial interaction method for triggering the file sorting command is optimized and clarified, providing a more reliable and accurate mode initiation mechanism. Therefore, the method may further include the following steps: In step S111, the pressure sensor detects the user's long press operation on the screen content area.

[0077] The system continuously senses user touch operations on the screen content area (i.e., the file list display area) through the pressure sensor built into the mobile terminal. When a touch event is detected, the pressure sensor monitors the pressure applied in real time.

[0078] In step S112, when the perceived pressure intensity continuously exceeds a preset threshold and the pressing duration reaches a second preset duration, a file sorting instruction is triggered, and the file sorting mode is entered.

[0079] In this embodiment, the system judges the sensed signal and only determines it as a valid trigger command when two conditions are met simultaneously: first, the sensed pressure intensity continuously exceeds a preset pressure threshold; second, the pressure intensity exceeding the threshold lasts for a second preset duration. When both conditions are met, the system immediately determines that a file sorting command has been triggered and formally enters the file sorting mode.

[0080] This "dual verification of force and duration" triggering mechanism effectively distinguishes the sorting mode activation operation of this application embodiment from ordinary touch gestures such as screen scrolling and single-click selection. It significantly reduces the probability of false triggering of the mode, ensures the clarity of the interaction intent, and retains the user habit of initiating through the familiar "long press" gesture, making the introduction of new functions natural and with low learning costs.

[0081] It should be noted that the above system can be a mobile terminal device in the user's hand (such as a smartphone or tablet computer) and the software running on it, and the embodiments are not limited to this.

[0082] Based on the above embodiments, this application also provides a scenario embodiment, which may specifically include the following process: (1) When accessing cloud computer files or cloud disk files on the terminal, if users want to customize the sorting and classify the files into the corresponding folders for complex and lengthy files, they can long press the content area of ​​the screen with their finger. The mobile device will sense the user's long press operation through the built-in pressure sensor and enter the file sorting mode.

[0083] (2) After entering file sorting mode, each line of file will be automatically processed into individual grids in the background of the device. Simultaneously, finger-pressing areas A and B appear at the bottom of the grid, and a virtual abacus control of equal height to the screen appears on the right side of the grid. Each bead corresponds one-to-one with a file grid. The user selects the file by clicking on the grid's hotspot. After the user selects multiple files, the corresponding grid and the abacus beads on the right will be highlighted, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0084] (3) When the user presses area A or B at the bottom of the grid, lever C on the abacus will move. Pressing area A moves lever C upward, and pressing area B moves lever C downward. The user can also tap areas A and B; each tap moves the lever by the height of one grid cell. The left-side file grid area moves simultaneously with lever C. Lever C mainly acts as a positioning pointer, used to roughly locate the current position of the file list. The pressure p applied by the finger pressing areas A and B is positively correlated with the speed v of lever C's movement. The mapping function is: v = f(p) = a × (1) Where a is a constant, and the maximum value of p is p max p max This is a preset value in the background. The greater the pressure applied by the finger, the faster the lever C moves; conversely, the less pressure applied, the slower the movement.

[0085] The distance d that lever C moves is positively correlated with the moving speed v and the time t that the finger presses.

[0086] Since the pressure applied during the pressing process, p, is not a constant value, v is also not a constant value. Divide the time t into n time intervals, each 0.1s long, with the velocity v1, v2, v3...v in each 0.1s interval. n The average speed v over time period t is obtained by linearly averaging these n speed values. 平均 .

[0087] v 平均 = (v1+v2+v3+...+v n ) / n(2) d = v 平均 ×t(3) (4) Establish a coordinate system in the lower right corner of the screen, such as Figure 4As shown, the initial coordinates of lever C are recorded as (0, y1). When area A or B is pressed, lever C moves. Pressing area A moves the lever upwards, and pressing area B moves it downwards. When area A is pressed, d takes a positive value; when area B is pressed, d takes a negative value. Each time A or B is pressed, C moves one grid height, where h is the height of the grid. The distance the lever moves during each consecutive pressing operation is recorded as d1, d2, d3...dn. The Y-coordinate value y2 of the vertex of the first row of the visible file area on the left side of the screen is obtained.

[0088] In addition, when the user continuously presses area A or B for more than a certain duration t max Afterwards, the user can release their finger, and lever C will move automatically at a speed of t. max The average velocity v over time.

[0089] Once in auto-move mode, users can double-click the left-hand file list area to stop scrolling in the left-hand area.

[0090] (5) While the user is moving lever C, observe the contents of the file list on the left. When the approximate position to be placed is seen, the user can stop moving. The final displacement of lever C is: D=d1+ d2+d3+...+dn. When lever C stops moving, the vertex coordinates of the first row of the file area are y3=y2+D.

[0091] (6) When the page stops, the user finds the location of the file to be inserted and can simulate the interaction of an abacus, using their finger to move the beads on the right side to precisely position and insert the file to be sorted. For example Figure 5 As shown.

[0092] Specifically, if a user wants to insert a selected file between grids E and F, they can flick the bead Z1 corresponding to grid E upwards and the bead Z2 corresponding to grid F downwards. Z1 and Z2 will move up and down by one grid height respectively, creating a free space. The user can then tap anywhere within this free space, and the previously selected file will be directly inserted between E and F. Simultaneously, the grids will be automatically reordered, maintaining the original spacing between adjacent grids.

[0093] Furthermore, if a user wants to insert selected files with a one-file gap between them, they can slide Z1 up, Z3 down, and click anywhere in the first blank area. This will allow the previously selected files to be inserted with a one-file gap between them. Figure 5 As shown.

[0094] Similarly, if a user wants to insert selected files with a gap of two files in between, they can move the first bead, skip two beads, and then move the other bead. The final insertion display is similar to permutations and combinations in high school mathematics, which matches the user's mental model.

[0095] (7) If a user wants to categorize the selected files into a folder W, they can click the corresponding grid or bead, and after clicking OK, the previously selected files will automatically enter that folder, such as... Figure 6 As shown.

[0096] The embodiment uses simulated abacus beads to pre-reserve insertion space gaps before inserting the file, which can achieve operational precision and is very user-friendly. It can avoid the problems of existing terminals dragging and sorting without pre-reserving insertion space, which often leads to misalignment problems, resulting in a high probability of misoperation and a poor user experience.

[0097] The embodiment reduces the number of sorting operations and improves efficiency by introducing intermittent insertion. The use of beads and positioning levers enhances operational visibility. Furthermore, the entire file list area remains unobstructed during user operation, eliminating the need to press on individual file items for sorting, and automatic scrolling significantly frees up the user's hands.
