Description

Object processing method, electronic device and storage medium

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office on June 29, 2023, with application number 202310794417.9 and application name “A method for processing an object, an electronic device and a storage medium”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of terminal application technology, and in particular to an object processing method, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0003] As electronic devices provide more and more functions, people increasingly rely on electronic devices for work, life, etc. For example, people can perform related processing on objects (e.g., documents, videos, audios, pictures, texts, links, etc.) stored in electronic devices.

[0004] Currently, users need to go through multiple operations to process objects in electronic devices. For example, a user finds a picture in the electronic device's gallery; clicks the share button on the interface displaying the picture, triggering the electronic device to display icons of applications that can share pictures, such as a Bluetooth icon or an instant messaging application icon; the user clicks an instant messaging application icon, triggering the electronic device to display a list of friends in the instant messaging application; the user clicks on one of the friends to send the picture to the selected friend. It can be understood that this object processing method is cumbersome and inefficient, and the user experience is poor.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] The embodiments of the present application provide an object processing method, an electronic device, and a storage medium, which provide a simple and efficient way to implement operation processing on an object.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an object processing method, including:

[0009] The electronic device receives a first operation when displaying the first interface;

[0010] In response to the first operation, the electronic device displays a second interface, where the second interface includes a first object, an icon of the first application, and an icon of the second application, and the first object corresponds to content of the first application;

[0011] The electronic device receives a second operation of dragging the first object to an area where an icon of a second application is located and releasing the first object;

[0012] In response to the second operation, the electronic device displays a third interface of the second application, where the third interface displays content associated with the first object.

[0013] In the present application, a first operation can be used to trigger the electronic device to display a second interface containing an icon of the first application, an icon of the second application, and the first object. The user can drag the first object in the second interface to the icon of the second application, thereby triggering the electronic device to display the content of the second application associated with the first object. Through this processing method, the first object can be quickly found through the first operation, and the object can be quickly processed through the second operation. Therefore, this method of processing the first object through the second application through the second operation is simple to operate, highly efficient, and provides a good user experience.

[0014] As an implementation of the first aspect, the second operation includes a third operation and a fourth operation;

[0015] The electronic device receives a second operation of dragging the first object to the area where the icon of the second application is located and releasing the first object, including:

[0016] The electronic device receives a third operation of selecting the first object;

[0017] In response to the third operation, the electronic device displays a first control on the second interface, and the first control displays content of the first object;

[0018] The electronic device receives a fourth operation of dragging the first control into the area where the icon of the second application is located and releasing it, where the fourth operation is a dynamic gesture operation continuous with the third operation;

[0019] Correspondingly, in response to the second operation, the electronic device displays a third interface of the second application, including:

[0020] In response to the fourth operation, the electronic device displays a third interface of the second application.

[0021] In the present application, the second operation may include a third operation of selecting the first object and a fourth operation of dragging the first object to the second application icon. Since the second operation does not delete the first object from the second interface, in actual applications, the process of moving the first object can be a process of moving the first control that displays the first object, which instructs the second application to which it is moved to process the first object corresponding to the first control.

[0022] As another implementation of the first aspect, the electronic device includes a display screen, wherein a first object in a second interface is displayed in a first area of ​​the display screen, and an icon of a first application and an icon of a second application in the second interface are displayed in a second area of ​​the display screen;

[0023] When the first operation is a sliding operation from the right edge of the display screen to the left, the first area is located to the left of the second area;

[0024] When the first operation is an operation of sliding from the left edge of the display screen to the right, the first area is located to the right of the second area.

[0025] In the present application, various methods are provided for a first operation to trigger an electronic device to display a second interface. Similarly, the content displayed on the second interface may also be related to the first operation.

[0026] As another implementation of the first aspect, the first interface is an interface of a third application. In response to the first operation, the second interface displayed by the electronic device also includes a first image, where the first image is part of the content of the first interface. When the electronic device displays the second interface, the method further includes:

[0027] The electronic device receives a fifth operation of dragging the first object into the area where the first image is located and releasing the dragged object;

[0028] In response to the fifth operation, the electronic device displays a fourth interface of the third application, and the fourth interface displays content associated with the first object.

[0029] In this application, the second interface can also display part of the content of the first interface before the second interface in the form of an image. The user triggers the electronic device to display the fourth interface of the third application to which the first interface belongs by dragging the first object into the area of ​​the image; the user can realize the processing of the first object by the third application through the fifth operation.

[0030] As another implementation of the first aspect, the electronic device includes a display screen, wherein the first image in the second interface is displayed in a third area of ​​the display screen, and the first object in the second interface is displayed in the first area of ​​the display screen;

[0031] When the first operation is a sliding operation from the right edge of the display screen to the left, the third area is located to the left of the first area;

[0032] When the first operation is an operation of sliding from the left edge of the display screen to the right, the third area is located to the right of the first area.

[0033] In this application, a variety of ways are provided in which a first operation triggers the electronic device to display a second interface. Similarly, the content displayed on the second interface can also be related to the first operation. For example, when swiping left, the originally displayed first interface is displayed on the left, and when swiping right, the originally displayed first interface is displayed on the right, thereby improving the user's visual experience.

[0034] As another implementation of the first aspect, the electronic device includes a display screen. Before the electronic device displays the first interface, the method further includes:

[0035] When the electronic device displays the fifth interface, a sixth operation of dragging the second object in the fifth interface to the fourth area of ​​the display screen is received;

[0036] In response to the sixth operation, the electronic device displays a sixth interface including the icon of the first application; the electronic device receives a seventh operation of dragging the second object in the fourth area to the area where the icon of the first application is located and releasing the object;

[0037] In response to the seventh operation, the electronic device displays the fifth interface or the seventh interface, the fifth interface displays the information of the first duration for indicating successful storage, and the seventh interface displays the content of the first application, which includes the first object.

[0038] In this application, not only can the electronic device display icons of objects and applications be triggered by the first operation, but an object in an interface can also be dragged to the fourth area of ​​the display screen to trigger the electronic device to display application icons. In this way, the object can be dragged to the displayed application icon to realize object processing, for example, storage, thereby realizing rapid storage of the object.

[0039] As another implementation of the first aspect, the sixth operation includes the eighth operation and the ninth operation, and the electronic device receives the sixth operation of dragging the second object in the fifth interface to the fourth area of ​​the display screen, including:

[0040] The electronic device receives an eighth operation of selecting a second object;

[0041] In response to the eighth operation, the electronic device displays a second control on the fifth interface, where the second control displays content of the second object;

[0042] The electronic device receives a ninth operation of dragging the second control into the fourth area;

[0043] Correspondingly, in response to the sixth operation, the electronic device displays a sixth interface, including:

[0044] In response to the ninth operation, the electronic device displays a sixth interface including the second control.

[0045] In this application, during the process of dragging an object, the object on the original interface is not deleted. Therefore, it can be set that the object to be dragged is the control of the object. When the control of the object is dragged to the application icon, it means that the object is stored in the application represented by the application icon.

[0046] As another implementation of the first aspect, the icon of the first application in the sixth interface is displayed in the second area of ​​the display screen; the first object in the seventh interface is displayed in the first area of ​​the display screen;

[0047] When the first operation is a sliding operation from the right edge of the screen to the left, the fourth area is located on the right side of the display screen;

[0048] When the first operation is an operation of sliding from the left edge of the display screen to the right, the fourth area is located on the left side of the display screen.

[0049] As another implementation of the first aspect, the seventh operation is a dynamic gesture operation continuous with the sixth operation; the ninth operation is a dynamic gesture operation continuous with the eighth operation;

[0050] The ninth operation is to drag the second control into the fourth area and display the second duration in the fourth area.

[0051] In this application, in order to avoid misoperation, it can be set that the second control is dragged into the fourth area and displayed in the fourth area for a sufficient period of time, and then the electronic device is triggered to display the application icon.

[0052] As another implementation of the first aspect, the sixth interface further includes an icon of the second application; when the electronic device displays the sixth interface including the second control, the method further includes:

[0053] The electronic device receives a tenth operation of dragging the second control to the area where the icon of the second application is located and releasing it. In response to the tenth operation, the electronic device displays an eighth interface of the second application, and the eighth interface displays content associated with the second object.

[0054] In the present application, the user can not only drag the object to the icon of the application related to the object on the second interface that simultaneously displays the object and the application icon to trigger the electronic device to display the interface associated with the object in the application, but can also trigger the electronic device to display the application icon through operation on the interface where the object is displayed without displaying the application icon, thereby triggering the electronic device to display the interface associated with the object in the application by continuing to drag the object to the displayed application icon.

[0055] As another implementation of the first aspect, the second object and the first object are the same object located in different interfaces, the eighth interface and the third interface display the same content, and the tenth operation is a dynamic gesture operation continuous with the sixth operation.

[0056] As another implementation of the first aspect, before the electronic device receives a second operation of dragging the first object to the area where the icon of the second application is located and releasing it, the second interface displayed by the electronic device also includes a third object; when the electronic device displays the second interface including the third object, the method further includes:

[0057] The electronic device receives an eleventh operation of selecting a third object;

[0058] In response to the eleventh operation, the electronic device displays the third control and the icon of the fourth application on the second interface, and displays the content of the third object on the third control;

[0059] The electronic device receives a twelfth operation of dragging the third control into the area where the icon of the fourth application is located and releasing it, where the twelfth operation is a dynamic gesture operation continuous with the eleventh operation;

[0060] In response to the twelfth operation, the electronic device displays a ninth interface of the fourth application, where the ninth interface displays content associated with the third object.

[0061] In the present application, it can also be set that when a third object is selected, the icon of the fourth application corresponding to the third object is displayed on the second interface, and then the third object is dragged to the icon of the fourth application to trigger the fourth application to process the third object. This method is also relatively simple and quick.

[0062] As another implementation of the first aspect, the electronic device includes a display screen, an icon of the fourth application is displayed in a second area of ​​the display screen, and a third object in the second interface is displayed in a first area of ​​the display screen.

[0063] As another implementation of the first aspect, the electronic device includes a display screen, the first operation includes a thirteenth operation and a fourteenth operation, and the electronic device receiving the first operation includes:

[0064] The electronic device receives a thirteenth operation of sliding from the right edge of the display screen to the left;

[0065] In response to the thirteenth operation, the electronic device displays a tenth interface, on which the third image and the icon of the first application are displayed, and the third image is the content of the first interface;

[0066] The electronic device receives a fourteenth operation of sliding left and releasing the finger continuously with the thirteenth operation;

[0067] Correspondingly, in response to the first operation, the electronic device displays a second interface, including:

[0068] In response to the fourteenth operation, the electronic device displays the second interface.

[0069] As another implementation of the first aspect, when the electronic device displays the tenth interface, the method further includes:

[0070] The electronic device detects a release operation corresponding to the thirteenth operation;

[0071] In response to a release operation continuous with the thirteenth operation, the electronic device keeps displaying the tenth interface.

[0072] In the present application, the first operation can be a continuous dynamic gesture operation, the tenth interface is displayed after the thirteenth operation, and the second interface is displayed after the fourteenth operation. When the tenth interface is displayed in the thirteenth operation, if the user releases his finger, the electronic device can be triggered to maintain the display of the tenth interface.

[0103] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and technologies are provided for illustration rather than limitation to facilitate a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details.

[0104] It should be understood that when used in the present specification and the appended claims, the term "comprising" indicates the presence of described features, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but does not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and / or collections thereof.

[0105] It should also be understood that in the embodiments of this application, "one or more" refers to one, two, or more than two; "and / or" describes the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist; for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0106] In addition, in the description of this application specification and the appended claims, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. are only used to distinguish the descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0107] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with that embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the present application. Thus, phrases such as "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," and "in other embodiments" appearing in various places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more but not all embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "including," "comprising," "having," and variations thereof all mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0108] The object processing method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to electronic devices. The electronic devices can be tablet computers, mobile phones, wearable devices, laptop computers, ultra-mobile personal computers (UMPCs), netbooks, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other electronic devices. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific type of electronic devices.

[0109] Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device. Electronic device 100 may include a processor 110, internal memory 121, a charging management module 140, a power management module 141, a battery 142, a sensor module 180, a camera 193, a display screen 194, etc. Sensor module 180 may include a pressure sensor 180A, a touch sensor 180K, etc.

[0110] It should be understood that the structures illustrated in the embodiments of the present application do not constitute a specific limitation on the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may include more or fewer components than shown, or may combine or separate certain components, or arrange the components differently. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0111] The processor 110 may include one or more processing units, for example: the processor 110 may include an application processor (AP), a modem processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a controller, a memory, a video codec, a digital signal processor (DSP), a coprocessor (SCP), a baseband processor, and / or a neural-network processing unit (NPU), etc. Among them, different processing units can be independent devices or integrated into one or more processors. A memory can also be set in the processor 110 for storing instructions and data. The internal memory 121 can be used to store computer executable program code, and the executable program code includes instructions. The processor 110 executes various functional applications and data processing of the electronic device 100 by running the instructions stored in the internal memory 121.

[0112] The charging management module 140 is configured to receive charging input from a charger, which may be a wireless charger or a wired charger.

[0113] The power management module 141 is used to connect the battery 142, the charging management module 140 and the processor 110. The power management module 141 receives input from the battery 142 and / or the charging management module 140 to provide power to the processor 110, the internal memory 121, the display 194, the camera 193, etc.

[0114] The pressure sensor 180A is used to sense pressure signals and convert them into electrical signals. In some embodiments, the pressure sensor 180A can be disposed on the display screen 194. When a touch operation is applied to the display screen 194, the electronic device 100 detects the intensity of the touch operation based on the pressure sensor 180A.

[0115] The touch sensor 180K, also known as a "touch panel," can be mounted on the display screen 194. The touch sensor 180K and the display screen 194 form a touch screen, also known as a "touch screen." The touch sensor 180K is used to detect touch operations applied to or near the touch sensor.

[0116] Electronic device 100 implements display functionality through a GPU, display screen 194, and an application processor. A GPU is a microprocessor for image processing that connects display screen 194 and the application processor. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering. Processor 110 may include one or more GPUs that execute program instructions to generate or modify display information.

[0117] Display screen 194 is used to display images, videos, and the like. Display screen 194 includes a display panel. The display panel can be a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED), a flexible light-emitting diode (FLED), a MiniLED, a MicroLED, a Micro OLED, or a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED). In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may include one or N display screens 194, where N is a positive integer greater than one.

[0118] Camera 193 is used to capture still images or videos. An object is projected through the lens into a photosensitive element, which can be a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may include one or N cameras 193, where N is a positive integer greater than one.

[0119] The embodiments of the present application do not particularly limit the specific structure of the execution subject of an object processing method. As long as the code recording an object processing method of the embodiments of the present application can be executed to communicate according to the object processing method provided by the embodiments of the present application. For example, the execution subject of the object processing method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be a functional module in an electronic device that can call and execute a program, or a communication device used in an electronic device, such as a chip.

[0120] Electronic devices provide more and more functions, and people are becoming more and more dependent on them. Users can use electronic devices for work, life, and other related activities. For example, users can perform related operations (such as printing documents, forwarding pictures, etc.) on files stored on electronic devices (such as documents, videos, audio, pictures, etc.) or information displayed (such as text, links, images, etc.).

[0121] As an example of a document printing operation, when a user wants to print a document sent by a friend a few days ago, the user first finds the instant messaging application on the system desktop of the electronic device, clicks the icon of the instant messaging application to open the instant messaging application, finds the chat item of the friend from the chat items displayed on the interface of the instant messaging application, clicks the chat item of the friend to open the chat interface with the friend, and then finds the target document from the chat interface; then, clicks the target document to open the target document through the document editing software, and finds the print button in the interface of the target document displayed by the document editing software to start the printing application, thereby printing the target document through the printing application. It can be understood that this process requires the user to perform multiple steps to achieve.

[0122] Even if the user has saved the target document in the electronic device when receiving it, when the user needs to print the target document after a period of time, the user needs to find the file management application on the system desktop of the electronic device, click the icon of the file management application to open the file management application, and find the target document from the file entry displayed on the interface of the file management application; then, click the target document to open the target document through the document editing software, find the print button in the interface of the target document displayed by the document editing software to start the print application, and thus print the target document through the print application. It can be understood that this process also requires the user to operate multiple steps to achieve.

[0123] Of course, the above example only takes the printing operation of a document as an example. In actual applications, various operations on files and information require users to perform relatively cumbersome operations to achieve them. Therefore, the convenience of various functions provided by electronic devices becomes particularly important.

[0124] The embodiments of the present application provide an object processing method that can provide a simple and quick way to help a user find a target object (the target object includes the files and information in the above examples) in an electronic device, and after finding the target object, provide a simple and quick way to help the user perform related operations on the target object through the electronic device. In addition, an even simpler and quicker way is provided to help the user perform related operations on the target object through the electronic device on an interface that includes the target object.

[0125] The following describes a specific implementation scheme of the object processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0126] The embodiments of the present application provide a virtual space in an electronic device, which can be referred to as a smart space or a magic space. Applications such as global collections and personal folders can be used in the smart space. Global collections and personal folders can store the files and information described in the examples above. Accordingly, the smart space can also provide operations related to files and information, such as printing, forwarding, and price comparison of identified products.

[0127] The global collections and personal folders are used for example purposes only. In practice, applications used to store files and information in the Smart Space can be named differently, such as "Transfer Station" or "Notes." Personal folders can also be named differently based on user preferences, such as "Folders," "Important Files," or "Private Files." Of course, a Smart Space can contain one or more applications for storing files and information.

[0128] In the embodiment of the present application, a smart space can provide global collections and personal folder applications as an example. Among them, personal folders can store files, such as documents, videos, audio, pictures, etc.; global collections can store information, such as text, links, image information, etc.; of course, in actual applications, global collections can also store files. In the embodiment of the present application, the specific object types stored in the application used to store objects in the smart space are not limited.

[0129] The following first describes a conceptual diagram of the interface that implements the object processing method provided by the embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 2, it is a conceptual diagram of the interface corresponding to a smart space provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0130] As shown in Figure 2 (a), the electronic device's display screen displays any interface (referred to as Interface 1, which can be the system desktop, an application interface, etc.). When the electronic device displays any interface, the user swipes leftward from the rightmost side of the electronic device's display screen to open the Smart Space. Figures 2 (b) through 2 (d) illustrate the process of opening the Smart Space. In actual applications, it is also possible to configure the electronic device to display certain interfaces when the Smart Space cannot be opened, or to configure the device to display certain interfaces when the Smart Space can be opened.

[0131] In the embodiment of the present application, a swipe operation from the rightmost side of the display screen to the left is used as an example of a gesture operation for opening the smart space. In actual applications, other types of gesture operations can also be used as gesture operations for opening the smart space. For example, a swipe operation from the leftmost side of the display screen to the right is used.

[0132] When the user's finger slides from the rightmost side to the leftmost side of the display screen on the interface shown in (a) in FIG2 , the electronic device will be triggered to display the interface shown in (b) in FIG2 .

[0133] Referring to (b) in Figure 2, as the user's finger slides to the left on the display screen, interface 1 displayed on the electronic device also begins to slide to the left; as interface 1 slides to the left, the smart space is gradually opened, and the sidebar in the smart space is displayed on the right side of the display screen.

[0134] Interface 1 can be understood as the door to the smart space. As the door is opened, applications for storing objects (e.g., global favorites) and some quick applications provided by the smart space will be displayed in the sidebar. After interface 1 is partially opened, the electronic device displays the sidebar located in the right area of ​​the smart space (e.g., area A in the figure). The sidebar can include one or more application icons, such as the global favorites icon in the example above, and can also display some quick application icons, such as email icons, music icons, file management icons, etc.

[0135] To improve the user experience, Interface 1 can be regarded as a door in the real space. As the door is pushed open, from the user's perspective, the left side of Interface 1 is displayed at the far left of the display screen. At the same time, Interface 1 as a door will produce visual deformation. Therefore, as the user's finger slides to the left on the screen, Interface 1 will deform, as if the door to the smart space is opened.

[0136] Of course, what is displayed in (b) of Figure 2 may not be the interface 1 itself or the deformed interface 1 itself, but a screenshot of the interface 1 or an image of the screenshot of the interface 1 that has been deformed (this image is recorded as the deformed image of the interface 1). There is no restriction on the form of the interface 1 displayed during the opening of the magic space.

[0137] If the user's finger does not lift up on the interface shown in (b) in Figure 2 and continues to slide to the left, it will trigger the electronic device to display the interface shown in (c) in Figure 2.

[0138] Referring to (c) in FIG2 , as the user continues to slide toward the left side of the display screen without lifting his finger, the deformed interface 1 (or the deformed image of the interface 1) will continue to be pushed to the left. From a three-dimensional perspective, the interface 1 (or the deformed image of the interface 1) is pushed toward the left side. Due to the limited space on the display screen, the content of a partial area of ​​the deformed interface 1 (or the deformed image of the interface 1) will be displayed on the display screen. In this diagram, the interface 1 (or the deformed image of the interface 1) on the left side of the display screen is a conceptual example, and does not mean that the user can visually see the content outside the display screen.

[0139] If the user's finger does not lift up on the interface shown in (c) in Figure 2 and continues to slide to the left, it will trigger the electronic device to display the interface shown in (d) in Figure 2.

[0140] As shown in (d) of FIG2 , when the user slides his finger on the display screen to the left area of ​​the display screen (specifically, it can be set to an area close to the leftmost side of the display screen, for example, area C), the deformed interface 1 (or the deformed image of the interface 1) is pushed open to a smaller area on the rightmost side of the display screen showing only the interface 1. At this time, the smart space is fully opened, and the central area of ​​the content currently displayed on the display screen (the area between area A and area C) displays the objects stored or collected in the smart space, for example, the content of the global collection within the dotted box shown in (d) of FIG2 , which displays two objects stored or collected in the global collection, namely object 1 and object 2 as shown in (d) of FIG2 . Objects stored or collected in the global collection can be displayed in the form of cards, or they can be displayed in the form of entries. This application does not limit the display format of the content displayed in the central area of ​​the smart space.

[0141] As can be understood from Figures 2(a) to 2(d), the present embodiment of the present invention only requires one step to find an object stored in the global collection. There is no need to return to the system desktop and go through multiple steps to search in the instant messaging application, nor is there a need to return to the system desktop and go through multiple steps to search in the file manager.

[0142] In the subsequent embodiments of this application, during the process of opening the smart space and after opening the smart space, using interface 1 or the deformed interface 1 as an example of content pushed to the left does not mean that the deformed image of interface 1 or the screenshot image of interface 1 cannot be used as content pushed to the left for display.

[0143] In the above example, the process of opening the smart space is divided into multiple stages: Interface 1 is pushed open, deformed, and the sidebar is displayed; the deformed Interface 1 continues to be pushed open; the deformed Interface 1 is pushed open to the far left and displays the global collection content. Therefore, the display screen can be partitioned so that the different stages in the continuous dynamic gesture in Figure 2 correspond to different stages of opening the smart space. For example, the display screen is divided into Area A, Area B, and Area C starting from the rightmost side, with the area between Area A and Area C being Area B. When the electronic device detects that the user's finger slides from the rightmost side through Area A into Area B, the interface displayed by the electronic device changes from (a) in Figure 2 to (b) in Figure 2. When the user's finger slides through Area A and into Area B, the interface displayed by the electronic device changes from (b) in Figure 2 to (c) in Figure 2. It should be noted that (c) in Figure 2 is only an example of the user's finger sliding in Area B. When the user's finger slides through Area A and Area B into Area C, the interface displayed by the electronic device changes to (d) in Figure 2. Regions A and C are marked in Figures 2(b) and 2(c). Regions A, B, and C in the above examples are merely examples and can be adjusted based on actual circumstances. Furthermore, it can be understood that Region A displays the sidebar, Region B displays global favorites, and Region C displays a portion of the image in Interface 1. Of course, in actual applications, the division of the three regions corresponding to user gestures and the division of the three regions displaying content within the Smart Space can also differ.

[0144] As another embodiment of the present application, the smart space can also be opened in the manner shown in Figure 3.

[0145] (a) to (b) in FIG. 3 are the same as (a) to (b) in FIG. 2 , and are not described again here.

[0146] As shown in Figure 3 (c), when the user's finger passes through area A and slides within area B, the transformed interface 1 begins to slide to the left as the user's finger slides. Since interface 1 can be regarded as the door to the smart space, the global collection content displayed in the smart space can also be set to be displayed below the transformed interface 1. As the transformed interface 1 is slowly pushed to the left, the global collection content obscured by the deformed interface 1 gradually becomes visible. When the deformed interface 1 is partially pushed open, the global collection content in the smart space is displayed in the area not obscured by interface 1.

[0147] As shown in (d) in Figure 3, as the user's finger slides on the display screen to area C, the deformed interface 1 only displays the rightmost area on the display screen, and the central area of ​​the content currently displayed on the display screen displays the global collection content in the smart space.

[0148] The embodiments of the present application do not limit whether the interface change process shown in Figure 2 or the interface change process shown in Figure 3 is adopted in the specific implementation. The subsequent embodiments take the interface change process shown in Figure 2 as an example.

[0149] Taking Figure 2 as an example, the interface within the smart space is introduced in detail.

[0150] Interface 1 in Figure 2 is regarded as the door to the smart space, which is pushed open to the left and only displays a part of the area. Interface 1 can be any interface (it can be any interface except the negative one screen). When the electronic device displays any interface, the user can open the smart space by performing a gesture operation to open the smart space. Among them, the negative one screen is the leftmost screen among the system screens displayed by the electronic device. For example, when the electronic device displays the system home screen, the user triggers the leftmost screen displayed by the electronic device through a gesture operation of sliding to the right, which is the negative one screen. Usually, the negative one screen can provide quick access to some applications, notification messages, etc.

[0151] The central area of ​​the smart space (the area between Area A and Area C in Figure 2) displays the content of applications within the smart space used to store or collect objects. For example, Figure 2 (d) shows the content of a global collection. This global collection may or may not have boundaries. The content displayed in this area includes objects stored or collected within the global collection, such as Objects 1 and 2 shown in Figure 2 (d). In actual applications, the display format of these objects can be customized based on the actual situation. For example, objects stored by applications within the smart space can be displayed as cards or as items.

[0152] The right area of ​​the smart space (for example, area A shown in FIG2( b )) displays a sidebar, which mainly displays icons of some applications (or services).

[0153] In the embodiments of the present application, a service is a function provided by an application, and an application is a carrier form of a service in an electronic device. Therefore, subsequent embodiments of the present application are all described in terms of an application.

[0154] Referring to FIG. 4 , a sidebar display format is provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0155] 4( a ) is a conceptual diagram of a sidebar when no object is selected. The sidebar may display icons of multiple categories of applications: icons of a first category of applications, icons of a second category of applications, an application settings button, and an exit button.

[0156] FIG4(b) shows a conceptual diagram of the sidebar when an object is selected. The sidebar shown in FIG4(a) adds icons for a third category of applications. The differences between the different categories of applications can be found in Table 1.

[0157] Table 1: Differences between the first, second, and third categories of applications shown in the sidebar

[0158] The first category of applications is displayed in the central area of ​​the Smart Space. When no object is selected, the first category of applications is displayed in the sidebar. When an object is selected, the first category of applications is also displayed in the sidebar. The first category of applications can store or collect objects and can include one or more applications, such as global collections, folders, and transfer stations. If no first category of applications displayed in the sidebar are added or deleted, the same first category of applications will be displayed when an object is selected and when no object is selected.

[0159] Category 2 apps are apps that users can add or delete. Category 2 apps are not displayed in the central area of ​​the Smart Space. Category 2 apps can include one or more apps, such as email, music, and file management. In practice, due to space limitations, some or all of the category 2 apps may be displayed in the sidebar. You can display some of the category 2 apps that are not displayed by swiping in the corresponding area.

[0160] Third-category apps appear when an object is selected and are related to the type of the selected object. They can be displayed in the central area of ​​the Smart Space. Drag the selected object to the area above the third-category app icon and then lift your hand, triggering the electronic device to display the third-category app's interface related to the selected object. When a third-category app displays an interface related to the selected object, it can be displayed in the central area of ​​the Smart Space interface.

[0161] The embodiment of the present application provides a correspondence between some different types of objects and the third type of applications displayed in the sidebar through Table 2.

[0162] Table 2 Correspondence between objects and third-category applications

[0163] In actual applications, a third category of applications different from those in Table 2 may be set for different types of objects, and this application will not give examples one by one.

[0164] Due to limited sidebar space, when an object is selected and the sidebar displays the third category of applications, some of the icons originally displayed in the second category of applications can be hidden. Specifically, as shown in FIG4 (a), the third category of applications includes: email, music, and file management. When an object is selected, as shown in FIG4 (b), the third category of applications includes: email, with music and file management hidden. Of course, the user can slide in the area where the third category application icons are located to display the hidden music or file management icons.

[0165] The sidebar can also display an application settings button as a setting entry for applications in the smart space. Through this setting entry, you can add or delete applications and quick applications in the smart space.

[0166] The Exit button can be used to close the smart space. For example, when a user clicks the Exit button, the electronic device will display the interface that was displayed before the smart space was opened. Of course, in a specific implementation, after opening the smart space, it can also be closed by swiping right or left.

[0167] Due to space limitations, the sidebar may only display some of the icons listed above. As an example, after the Smart Space is opened, the sidebar displays the first category application icons, the second category application icons, and the application settings button, and no longer displays the exit button;

[0168] To facilitate differentiation, a horizontal line can be used to separate the first and third category app icons. Refer to the horizontal line symbol between the global favorites and email in Figure 2. Similarly, a horizontal line can be used to separate the third and second category app icons. For details, refer to the display methods in the corresponding interfaces of the subsequent embodiments. Of course, other symbols can also be used to separate different categories of app icons.

[0169] (a) and (b) in Figure 4 are used to distinguish different application categories and some icons. In actual applications, the specific display forms of the sidebar when no object is selected and when an object is selected can refer to the sidebar shown in (b) in Figure 8 and the sidebar shown in (c) in Figure 8.

[0170] As mentioned above, objects are stored or collected in the smart space. After opening the smart space, you can perform related operations on the objects stored or collected in the smart space. The following first describes how to store or collect objects in the smart space.

[0171] 5 , an example of adding files in a chat interface of an instant messaging application to a smart space for storage is provided in an embodiment of the present application. This example takes folders and global favorites as the first type of applications for storage or collection objects.

[0172] Referring to (a) in Figure 5, in the chat interface of the instant messaging application (this interface is recorded as interface 2), the friend "Zhang San" sends a file "While the car is driving...", the user can select the file by long pressing the area where the file is displayed and drag the file to the right area.

[0173] After selecting the file by long-pressing it, it switches to a suspended state. The suspended file acts as a floating control and can be dragged to the right on the display screen by the user's finger. When dragged to area A, the electronic device displays the interface shown in Figure 5 (b). Of course, in actual applications, this area can also be different from area A.

[0174] As shown in Figure 5(b), when the user drags a floating file to area A on the right, the Smart Space is triggered to open. Interface 2, acting as the door to the Smart Space, partially opens and visually changes shape. Because Interface 2 is partially open, the area within the Smart Space not obscured by Interface 2 displays a sidebar. The sidebar now displays the first category of apps: folders and global favorites; the third category of apps (because an object is selected, the sidebar displays the third category of apps corresponding to the selected object): notebook, print, and cross-device; the second category of apps: email, as well as settings and exit buttons. The user continues to drag the selected file to a folder in the sidebar to store the selected file in the folder within the Smart Space, allowing subsequent operations on the file to be performed.

[0175] In a specific implementation, the gesture in this example is a continuous dynamic gesture, that is, the user long presses a file on interface 2, then drags the file to the right area A without lifting the hand, and continues to drag the file to the folder in the sidebar without lifting the hand. Of course, other gesture operations can also be set according to the situation to add files to the smart space, and this embodiment of the application will not be given one by one.

[0176] Of course, in actual applications, it can be set that after the user selects any object through a long press gesture, the object will switch to a floating state and the door to the smart space can be opened at the same time.

[0177] You can also set it so that after the user selects any object through a long press gesture, the object switches to a floating state. The door to the smart space will not be opened temporarily. Instead, the door to the smart space will be opened after starting to drag the floating object.

[0178] Of course, the user can also be set to select any object through a long press gesture (the object switches to a suspended state) and drag the suspended object to the right area A and keep it for a certain period of time (for example, 600ms) before opening the door of the smart space.

[0179] By setting this dragging to area A and holding it for a certain period of time, the following situation can be avoided: when the electronic device is set to perform other operations using a user's selection gesture or drag gesture on an object, the electronic device detects that the gesture has performed the operation of opening the smart space, but cannot perform other operations corresponding to the selection gesture or drag gesture, or performs other operations corresponding to the selection gesture or drag gesture, but cannot perform the opening of the smart space.

[0180] Referring to Figure 5(c), after the user drags a file onto the top of a folder icon in the sidebar, the folder icon animates and transforms into another icon. Specifically, compare the folder icon in Figure 5(b) with the folder icon in Figure 5(c). In practice, the folder icon may not animate and remain in its original state after the user drags a file onto the corresponding area of ​​the folder icon in the sidebar.

[0181] When a user drags a file to a folder, the file icon can be set to shrink as the file moves to the right. This setting prevents the file icon from being too large and appearing on top of two icons, making it difficult for the device to determine which app the file is stored in.

[0182] After the user drags a file to the sidebar folder icon with his finger, the user can lift his finger to trigger the electronic device to store or collect the file in the folder.

[0183] After the user lifts the finger from the display screen, the electronic device displays the interface shown in (d) in FIG5 .

[0184] Referring to (d) in FIG5 , the electronic device displays screen 2 before opening the smart space, and displays a prompt for a period of time in any area of ​​the screen to remind the user that the selected file has been stored in the smart space. For example, a prompt message of "Stored Successfully" may be displayed for 2 seconds.

[0185] In actual use, after the user lifts their finger, the electronic device can also fully open the smart space. For example, the transformed interface 2 is pushed to the far left of the display, and a portion of the interface 2 is displayed on the display, while the folder interface is displayed in the center of the display. The folder interface can display icons of multiple stored or favorited files, and the right side of the display shows the sidebar when no object is selected.

[0186] The display mode after the user lifts the finger may refer to the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 .

[0187] 6 , which shows an example of a process in which an electronic device fully opens a smart space in response to a user's operation, using a picture as an example according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0188] 6 (a), in any interface displaying a picture (this interface is denoted as interface 3), text and a picture are displayed, and the user can select the picture by long pressing the area displaying the picture.

[0189] After selecting the image, the electronic device displays the interface shown in Figure 6(b). This embodiment of the application uses selecting an object to trigger the half-opening of the smart space door as an example. Of course, a floating control for the image can also be displayed above the interface, and the user dragging the image is the process of the user dragging the floating control.

[0190] As shown in Figure 6 (b), after the user selects the image, the electronic device partially opens the smart space. Interface 3, seen as the door to the smart space, partially opens and visually deforms. Because the selected object has switched to a suspended state, the selected image and interface 3 appear separated. Because interface 3 is partially open, the area of ​​the smart space not obscured by interface 3 displays a sidebar. The sidebar now displays the first category of applications: folders and global collections; the third category of applications matching the selected image: price comparison, printing, and cross-device; the second category of applications: email, as well as settings and exit buttons. The user can drag the selected image to the global collection to store or add the selected image to the global collection in the smart space, so that subsequent operations related to the image can be performed.

[0191] In the specific implementation, the user presses and holds the image on interface 3, then drags the image to the global collection in the sidebar on the right without lifting the finger. Referring to Figure 6 (c), after the user drags the image to the area corresponding to the global collection icon in the sidebar, the global collection icon does not perform an animation and remains in its original state.

[0192] Of course, after the user drags the object to the area corresponding to the global favorites icon in the sidebar, the global favorites icon may or may not animate. This embodiment of the application does not limit whether the icons in the sidebar animate. The image may also gradually become smaller during the dragging process to adapt to the size of the sidebar icon, avoiding the image being too large and being placed on top of two application icons at the same time.

[0193] After dragging the picture to the global collection, the user can lift his finger to trigger the electronic device to store or collect the picture in the global collection.

[0194] Referring to (d) in Figure 6, after the user lifts his finger, unlike (d) in Figure 5, the electronic device displays the interface after the smart space is fully opened. Since the picture is added to the global collection, the central area of ​​the interface currently displayed by the smart space displays the global collection content. Specifically, refer to the global collection content circled by the dotted box in the interface shown in (d) in Figure 6. The global collection displays the collected objects in the form of cards, for example, object 1 collected through the embodiment shown in Figure 6 and object 2 that has been previously collected in the global collection. Among them, the collected objects can be displayed in chronological order of collection, for example, the collection time of the object displayed above is later than the collection time of the object displayed below. The sidebar displays applications when no object is selected: the first category of applications, the second category of applications, and the third category of applications corresponding to the selected picture is not displayed.

[0195] It should be noted that Figures 5 and 6 use the example of storing files and pictures in the smart space. In actual applications, any selected object can be added to the smart space in the manner shown in Figures 5 or 6. This application will not give examples one by one.

[0196] After adding an object to the smart space, you can also retrieve the object stored or collected in the smart space at any time to perform other processing operations.

[0197] 7 , which is a schematic diagram of a process for retrieving a historically stored file from a smart space and forwarding it to an instant messaging friend, according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0198] Referring to (a) in FIG7 , a user opens the smart space in an instant messaging chat interface with a friend (this interface is denoted as interface 4 ) by performing a preset gesture operation for opening the smart space. For example, the user slides a finger from the rightmost side of the display screen of the electronic device to the leftmost side and lifts the finger to open the smart space.

[0199] Referring to (b) in Figure 7, after the user opens the smart space in the manner shown in Figure 2 or Figure 3, the electronic device displays the interface after opening the smart space, and the deformed interface 4 will be pushed further to the far left of the display screen. Due to the limited space on the display screen, a partial area of ​​the deformed interface 4 will be displayed on the display screen (the bar area shown in the figure). The central area of ​​the smart space displays the content of a first-category application, for example, the content of a folder application: the icons and names of the files stored in the folder. In the currently displayed interface, the user selects a file "Conference Template" through a long press gesture, and then drags the selected file to the left interface 4 without lifting his finger. Of course, what is actually dragged can be the floating control corresponding to the file.

[0200] It should be noted that the interface shown in (b) of FIG. 7 is the interface after the user selects a file, and the sidebar of the interface displays the third type of application corresponding to the file.

[0201] As shown in FIG7 (c), after the user drags the selected file to the left to the corresponding area of ​​interface 4 (for example, above interface 4), the display of the electronic device displays interface 4 before opening the smart space. The selected file will be displayed floating above the currently displayed interface 4.

[0202] After the user lifts his finger from the display screen, the electronic device displays the interface shown in (d) in FIG. 7 .

[0203] Referring to (d) in FIG. 7 , after the user lifts his finger, the selected file will be sent to the friends in the interface 4 .

[0204] Through this example, it can be understood that the user only needs one continuous dynamic gesture operation to open the smart space, and only needs one continuous dynamic gesture operation to transfer the file in the smart space to the instant messaging friend side. In response to the continuous dynamic gesture, the electronic device will directly display the interface after the instant messaging application processes the file: the interface after the file is sent, so the object processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application is simpler and faster.

[0205] Of course, the object processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application can not only take out files from the smart space and drag them to the left interface for processing, but also take out pictures or text from the smart space and drag them to the left interface for processing. The embodiment of the present application takes taking out pictures and dragging them to the left interface for processing as an example.

[0206] Referring to (a) in FIG8 , a user opens the smart space in an instant messaging chat interface with a friend (this interface is denoted as interface 5 ) by performing a preset gesture operation for opening the smart space. For example, the user slides a finger from the rightmost side of the display screen of the electronic device to the leftmost side and lifts the finger to open the smart space.

[0207] As shown in FIG8(b), after the user opens the smart space as shown in FIG2 or FIG3, the electronic device displays the interface after opening the smart space. The transformed interface 5 is further pushed to the far left of the display screen. Due to limited display space, a portion of the transformed interface 5 is displayed on the display screen. The central area of ​​the smart space displays the content of a first-category application, for example, the content of a folder application.

[0208] Since the object to be sent by the user is a picture, which is stored in the global collection, but the application content displayed in the central area by default after opening the smart space is the folder content, the user needs to click the global collection icon in the sidebar on the right to display the global collection content in the central area of ​​the smart space.

[0209] After the user clicks the global favorites icon in the sidebar, the interface shown in (c) in Figure 8 will be displayed.

[0210] Referring to (c) in FIG8 , after the user clicks the global favorites icon, the global favorites content is displayed in the central area of ​​the smart space.

[0211] In the current interface, the user uses a long press gesture to select an object in the global collection, such as a picture, and then, without lifting the finger, drags the selected picture to the left interface 5. During the dragging process, the dragged control is in a suspended state, and the picture content is displayed on the control.

[0212] As shown in Figure 8 (d), after the user drags the selected image to the left to the corresponding area of ​​interface 5 (for example, above interface 4), the electronic device's display screen displays interface 5 before opening the smart space. The selected image will be displayed floating above the currently displayed interface 5.

[0213] After the user raises his finger, the electronic device displays the interface shown in (e) in Figure 8.

[0214] 8 (e), after the user lifts his finger, the selected picture will be sent to the instant messaging friend side of the interface 5.

[0215] In this way, you can retrieve pictures stored in the smart space and send them to instant messaging friends. Of course, you can also retrieve other objects stored in the smart space and send them to friends in this way.

[0216] In the examples shown in FIG7 and FIG8 , after the selected object is dragged to the upper area of ​​the interface displayed on the left side of the display screen, the electronic device displays the left interface in full screen.

[0217] In actual applications, an area can also be specified. When the selected object is dragged to a preset area on the left side of the display (or dragged to the preset area on the left side of the display and remains there for a certain period of time), the electronic device displays the left interface in full screen. The left side of the display can be used as the left edge of the preset area, and the length of the preset area (in the horizontal direction of the display) can be set to determine the preset area.

[0218] As shown in the previous interface, when there are at least two first-category apps in the Smart Space, the central area of ​​the Smart Space displays the content of one of the first-category apps after opening the Smart Space. For example, the default display is usually the content of the first-category app at the top of the sidebar. When a folder is at the top of the first-category apps displayed in the sidebar, the central area of ​​the Smart Space displays the folder's content; when a global collection is at the top of the first-category apps displayed in the sidebar, the central area of ​​the Smart Space displays the global collection's content.

[0219] The embodiment of the present application also provides an adjustment function, whereby users can adjust the display order of the first category of applications in the sidebar according to their respective usage habits.

[0220] As shown in (a) of Figure 9, after the smart space is opened, when the folder is located in the first position of the first category of applications in the sidebar, the folder contents are displayed by default in the central area of ​​the smart space. The first category of applications in the sidebar displays folder icons and global favorites icons in order from top to bottom. The user can display the global favorites content in the central area of ​​the smart space by clicking the global favorites icon, but this method can only determine that the global favorites content is currently displayed in the central area of ​​the smart space, and cannot ensure that the global favorites content will be displayed by default in the central area of ​​the smart space after the smart space is opened subsequently. Therefore, the user can long press the global favorites icon to select the global favorites icon, and then drag the global favorites icon to the position of the folder icon without lifting the finger.

[0221] After the user lifts his finger, the electronic device will display the interface shown in (b) in FIG9 .

[0222] As shown in Figure 9 (b), after the global favorites icon is dragged to the first position of the first category of apps in the sidebar, the folder icon moves down one position, so the global favorites icon is at the top of the sidebar and the folder is at the second position. In this example, after the order of the icons of the first category of apps in the sidebar is changed, the application interface displayed in the central area of ​​the Smart Space remains unchanged; the next time you open the Smart Space, the central area of ​​the Smart Space will display the first icon of the first category of apps in the sidebar.

[0223] In the interface shown in (b) in Figure 9, the user can also click the global favorites icon to trigger the central area of ​​the currently displayed interface to display the objects stored or collected in the global favorites, that is, by clicking the global favorites icon, trigger the electronic device to display the interface shown in (c) in Figure 9.

[0224] As another example, as the gesture operation shown in (a) in Figure 9 ends, the application interface displayed in the central area of ​​the smart space may also change as the order of the application icons in the sidebar changes. For example, the electronic device may directly display the interface shown in (c) in Figure 9.

[0225] As shown in Figure 9 (c), after the global favorites icon is dragged to the first position of the first category of apps in the sidebar, the folder icon moves down one position, so that the global favorites icon is at the top of the sidebar and the folder is at the second position. In this example, after the order of the icons of the first category of apps in the sidebar changes, the content displayed in the central area of ​​the Smart Space changes accordingly, that is, it is updated to the objects stored or collected in the global favorites.

[0226] The embodiment of the present application does not limit whether the solution shown in FIG. 9 (b) or the solution shown in FIG. 9 (c) is specifically adopted.

[0227] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, objects are taken out from the smart space and sent to instant messaging friends. In actual applications, objects in the smart space can also be taken out and dragged to the left interface to perform other operations.

[0228] 10 , an embodiment of the present application provides a process of taking text out of a smart space and placing it in the document editing interface on the left for editing.

[0229] Referring to FIG10(a), the electronic device displays a document editing interface (this interface is referred to as interface 6), which may be a presentation (PowerPoint, PPT) editing interface. When a user wishes to add text or images stored in the smart space to the PPT editing interface, the user may use a preset gesture to open the smart space. Of course, files stored in the smart space may also be inserted into the PPT editing interface, but this application will not provide further examples.

[0230] As shown in Figure 10 (b), after opening the Smart Space, the central area of ​​the Smart Space displays global collections, which include images and text. To add text to a PPT document, the user can long-press the card area corresponding to the text content. After selecting the text content, drag it to the left without lifting the finger to drag it to interface 6. After selecting the text object, the text card becomes a floating control, and the text content is displayed on the floating control. When dragging text, the floating control is being dragged.

[0231] When the user drags the text content to the area corresponding to the left interface 6, the electronic device displays the interface shown in (c) in Figure 10.

[0232] As shown in FIG10(c), the electronic device displays the left interface 6 in full screen, with the selected text content displayed floating above the interface 6. Without lifting a finger, the user can drag the text content to the area where text content can be added, and then lift the finger. The electronic device will then display the interface shown in FIG10(d).

[0233] 10 (d), when the user raises his hand, the selected text content will be added to the corresponding area in the PPT editing interface. This interface is the interface after the text is processed.

[0234] Users can continue to add images from their global collection to their PPT documents using the same method described above. This method allows users to pre-collect online resources and store them in the Smart Space. When creating a PPT, users can retrieve these resources from the Smart Space and add them to the PPT. This process also demonstrates that this method requires a continuous dynamic gesture to open the Smart Space and a continuous dynamic gesture to move objects in the Smart Space to the left interface for processing, making it simpler and faster.

[0235] In the specific implementation, objects stored or collected in the smart space can be dragged to the left interface for corresponding operations, and of course they can also be dragged to the application corresponding to the icon displayed in the right sidebar for corresponding operations.

[0236] 11 , which shows an example of selecting an object from the smart space and dragging it to an application icon in the right sidebar to perform corresponding operations, as provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0237] Referring to (a) in Figure 11, the display screen of the electronic device displays any interface. When the electronic device displays any interface, the user slides his finger from the rightmost side of the display screen of the electronic device to the left to the left side of the display screen to open the smart space.

[0238] As shown in (b) of Figure 11, after opening the smart space, the central area of ​​the smart space displays the folder contents, which display multiple files stored in the folder. The user long-presses one of the documents to select it. After any document is selected, the right sidebar will add a third-category application icon corresponding to the document: a notebook icon, a print icon, and a cross-device icon. The user can drag the document to any of the third-category application icons without raising their hand. In this embodiment of the application, using printing as an example, the document can be dragged to the print icon.

[0239] As shown in (c) of Figure 11, after dragging the document over the print icon, the user lifts their finger, and the electronic device displays the full-screen print interface, which displays the document content. The user can set print parameters on the print interface and print the document. This print interface is the interface before any document processing is performed.

[0240] In this way, you can print documents in the smart space through two-step dynamic gesture operations: first open the smart space through continuous dynamic gestures, then drag the document in the smart space to the print icon through continuous dynamic gestures to enter the printing interface of the document, which is convenient and quick.

[0241] In the embodiment of the present application, you can also drag pictures or text in the smart space to the icon displayed in the sidebar on the right to perform related operations on the picture or text through the application corresponding to the icon. The picture is used as an example below.

[0242] Referring to (a) in Figure 12, the display screen of the electronic device displays any interface. When the electronic device displays any interface, the user slides his finger from the rightmost side of the display screen of the electronic device to the left to the left side of the display screen to open the smart space.

[0243] Referring to (b) in Figure 12, after the smart space is opened, the central area of ​​the smart space displays the global collection content, which contains pictures and links. The user long presses the card corresponding to the picture to select the picture, and the picture is updated to a suspended state. The sidebar on the right displays the first category of applications, the second category of applications, and the third category of applications, etc. Since the picture is identified as a product picture, the third category of application icons displayed in the smart recommendation application are application icons related to the product picture. Without lifting his finger, the user drags the selected picture to the price comparison icon. After dragging the selected product picture to the price comparison icon, the user lifts his finger, and the electronic device can display the product price comparison interface.

[0244] The embodiment of the present application provides three display modes for the interface when the third type of application in the right sidebar processes an object.

[0245] Referring to (c) in FIG. 12 , a display method of a price comparison interface is provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the price comparison interface is displayed in full screen on the display screen of the electronic device.

[0246] It should be noted that the underlying logic for displaying the price comparison interface in full screen on the display screen of the electronic device in the embodiment of the present application can be: closing the smart space and then starting the price comparison application to open the price comparison interface; it can also be the full-screen interface displayed after pushing away the interface displayed on the left side of the smart space and the sidebar on the right side in the smart space.

[0247] Referring to (d) in Figure 12, another display method of the price comparison interface provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, wherein the price comparison interface is displayed in the central area of ​​the smart space, the left side of the smart space displays a portion of the interface before opening the smart space, and the right side displays a sidebar.

[0248] Referring to (e) in Figure 12, another display method of the price comparison interface provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, wherein the price comparison interface is displayed as a floating window above the interface displayed on the electronic device before opening the smart space (the interface is displayed in full screen).

[0249] This application only uses the price comparison interface as an example. In actual applications, the interface before or after the object is processed by the smart recommendation application in the sidebar can be displayed in any of the above methods.

[0250] In the above examples, the object in the smart space is dragged to the left interface to perform the corresponding operation, or dragged to the icon in the sidebar on the right to perform the corresponding operation. In actual application, you can also select an object on the interface currently displayed by the electronic device (the interface has an object) to trigger the opening of the smart space, and then drag the selected object to the icon provided by the sidebar in the smart space to perform the corresponding operation. Since this function only requires the use of the sidebar, it can be set to long press the object on any interface to trigger the electronic device to half-open the smart space, that is, the interface form shown in (b) in Figure 2. The interface previously displayed by the electronic device is deformed and pushed open at a certain angle, and the sidebar is displayed on the right side of the interface currently displayed by the electronic device. Since this way of opening the door is when the object is pre-selected, the sidebar needs to display the icon of the third category of applications, that is, the application icon corresponding to the currently selected object.

[0251] Of course, in actual applications, you can also set it to long press any object on the current interface to trigger the electronic device to fully open the smart space, or long press any object on the current interface and drag it to the open area to trigger the electronic device to fully open the smart space, or long press any object on the current interface and drag it to the open area (for example, area A in the above example) and stay there for a certain period of time to trigger the electronic device to fully open the smart space. The interface of the fully open smart space is that the current interface is pushed to the leftmost bar area of ​​the display screen, the central area displays the interface of the application in the space, and the sidebar is displayed on the right.

[0252] Referring to (a) in FIG13 , the interface displayed by the electronic device (this interface is denoted as Interface 7) is the same as the interface shown in (a) in FIG12 . In this interface, there is an image object. The user long-presses the image object and, after selecting the image, drags the finger to the right without lifting it until the finger reaches the corresponding opening area on the far right and stays there for a certain period of time to open the smart space. Of course, after the image is selected, the image can also be displayed in a floating state above the interface.

[0253] Referring to (b) in Figure 13, after the user drags the object to the open area with his finger, interface 7 in the interface displayed by the electronic device is deformed and partially pushed away to display the right area of ​​the smart space. The sidebar located in the right area of ​​the smart space is displayed. Since an object is selected, the icons displayed in the right sidebar include the third category of application icons. The user drags the selected image to the price comparison icon and releases it.

[0254] Of course, if the user does not let go, the user can drag the selected object from one icon to another icon in the sidebar. When the user lets go, the image will be processed based on which icon the object is located on.

[0255] 13( c ), the electronic device displays the price comparison interface in full screen. Of course, the display mode of the price comparison interface may include any of the above examples.

[0256] The embodiment of the present application also provides an example of selecting an object on the current interface to open a smart space, and then dragging the object to the icon of another smart recommendation application to perform corresponding operations. For details, please refer to the examples shown in Figures 14 and 15.

[0257] 14( a ), the electronic device displays an interface containing any file (this interface is referred to as interface 8 ). The user long presses the file object to open the smart space.

[0258] The embodiment of the present application takes long pressing an object to open the smart space as an example. In actual application, the smart space can also be opened according to the gesture operation shown in Figure 13.

[0259] As shown in (b) of Figure 14, after the smart space is opened, the interface 8 is deformed and pushed to the left and middle areas of the smart space. The sidebar located in the right area of ​​the smart space is displayed. Because an object is selected, the icons displayed in the right sidebar include icons of the third category of applications. The user drags the selected file to above the print icon and then lifts his finger.

[0260] Referring to (c) in FIG14 , after the user lifts his finger, the electronic device displays a printing interface. Of course, the printing interface can be displayed in three ways, which are not listed one by one in the embodiment of the present application.

[0261] As another example provided by the embodiment of the present application, referring to (a) in FIG15 , the electronic device displays any interface containing a picture (this interface is denoted as interface 9 ). The user long presses the picture object to open the smart space.

[0262] Referring to (b) in Figure 15, in the interface displayed by the electronic device, interface 9 is deformed and pushed away to display the left area and the middle area of ​​the smart space. The sidebar located in the right area of ​​the smart space is displayed. Since an object is selected, the icons displayed in the right sidebar include the third category of application icons. Since the picture is identified as an antique, the smart recommendation application icon on the right includes a 3D appreciation icon. The user drags the selected picture to the area corresponding to the 3D appreciation icon.

[0263] In actual applications, when the electronic device recognizes that it has stored a 3D image of the object in the picture, it will recommend a 3D viewing application service.

[0264] As shown in Figure 15(c), when the user drags an image over the 3D object viewing icon and raises their hand, the electronic device displays the full-screen 3D object viewing application interface, which displays the image of the object. Of course, the 3D object viewing application interface can also be displayed in the three ways listed above, and the specific method used is determined according to the situation.

[0265] Users can drag the image on this interface to display images of the item in the image from other angles.

[0266] 15( d ) shows an interface diagram of an electronic device displaying another angle of the object after the user drags the image.

[0267] As another embodiment of the present application, it is also possible to configure that after the user drags an image over the 3D viewing icon and raises their hand, the electronic device displays the 3D viewing interface in the manner shown in (d) of FIG12 , i.e., the 3D viewing interface is displayed in the middle area, with interface 9 displayed on the left and a sidebar displayed on the right. When the user drags an image on the 3D viewing interface, in order to better present the 3D viewing effect, the 3D viewing interface is displayed in the manner shown in (d) of FIG15 . This embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific display method.

[0268] In the above examples, the first category of applications are displayed as icons in the rightmost sidebar of the smart space, or the content of one of the first category applications is displayed in the center area of ​​the smart space. In actual applications, the corresponding interface of the first category application can also be displayed floating above other interfaces. When displayed floating, objects stored or collected in the interface can be dragged and moved to the other interface for processing. For details, please refer to the embodiment shown in Figure 16.

[0269] Referring to (a) in Figure 16, the electronic device displays an interface (which can be recorded as interface 10). When the electronic device displays the interface, the user slides his finger from the rightmost side of the display screen of the electronic device to the left to open the smart space.

[0270] Referring to (b) in Figure 16, after the user slides his finger to the central area and raises his hand to half-open the smart space, the user clicks the global favorites icon in the right sidebar to trigger the electronic device to display (c) in Figure 16.

[0271] As shown in FIG16( c ), in response to the operation shown in FIG16( b ), the electronic device displays interface 10 in full screen, and displays a global favorites floating window above interface 10, displaying the stored or favorited objects within the floating window. Since the global favorites are displayed above interface 10 in the form of a floating window, the user can drag the floating window to change its display position above interface 10.

[0272] As shown in (d) of Figure 16 , when the floating window is dragged to Area A on the far right of the display (which may also be another area different from Area A), the global favorites floating window closes and the floating ball icon for the global favorites is displayed in the original sidebar area. In actual applications, it is also possible to set the floating window to close when it is dragged to Area C on the far left (which may also be another area different from Area C), and the floating ball icon for the global favorites is displayed in the left area.

[0273] Referring to (e) in FIG16 , in response to the operation shown in (b) in FIG16 , the electronic device displays the interface 10 in full screen, and displays a global favorite floating window above the interface 10, in which the stored or favorited objects are displayed. The user can long press an object in the floating window interface to select the object in the floating window. After the object is selected, it switches to a suspended state. Without lifting the finger, the user can continue to drag the suspended object to the corresponding area of ​​the interface 10 (for example, the area where objects can be added) and then lift the finger to add the selected object to the corresponding area of ​​the interface 10. The embodiment of the present application takes the selection of text as an example.

[0274] Referring to (f) in FIG. 16 , in response to the operation shown in (e) in FIG. 16 , the selected text is added to the interface 10 displayed by the electronic device, and the floating window interface of the global favorites continues to be displayed above the interface 10 .

[0275] This example uses a global collection as an example. In actual applications, the global collection can also be any first-category application.

[0276] When the embodiment shown in FIG. 16 is implemented, it can also be executed when the smart space is fully opened.

[0277] As an example, as shown in Figure 17, after the smart space is fully opened, a virtual button can be displayed around the global collection in the central area of ​​the smart space (Figure 17 takes the right side as an example). When the user clicks the virtual button, the application corresponding to the application interface in the space displayed in the central area of ​​the smart space can be displayed in the form of a floating window above the interface 10.

[0278] As a complete embodiment, Figure 17 can replace (b) in Figure 16. That is, the operation of fully opening the smart space in Figure 16 (a) triggers the electronic device to display the interface shown in Figure 17. In the interface shown in Figure 17, the user clicks the virtual button to the right of the global collection displayed in the central area of ​​the smart space, triggering the electronic device to display (c) in Figure 16. This virtual button is used to trigger the electronic device to display the global collection content floating above the interface before opening the smart space.

[0279] Of course, the embodiment of this application uses global collection as an example. In actual application, if the smart space is fully opened, the central area of ​​the smart space will display other first-category application content, and the virtual button will be displayed around it. The virtual button is used to trigger the electronic device to display the interface before the smart space was opened, and the application content displayed in the central area after the smart space is opened will be displayed above the interface before the smart space was opened.

[0280] Taking the folder as an example of an application in the space displayed in the central area after the smart space is opened, after the smart space is opened, the folder contents are displayed in the central area of ​​the smart space. When the user clicks the virtual button in the interface, the electronic device will display the interface before the smart space is opened and the folder contents will be displayed floating above the interface before the smart space is opened. This application will no longer use diagrams for examples.

[0281] In the example shown in FIG16 , the first type of application displayed in the sidebar can be displayed in the form of a floating window or a floating ball; similarly, the third type of application displayed in the sidebar can also be displayed in other forms. For details, please refer to the description of the embodiment shown in FIG18 .

[0282] Referring to (a) in Figure 18, the display screen of the electronic device displays any interface (which can be recorded as interface 11). When the electronic device displays any interface, the user's finger slides from the rightmost side of the display screen of the electronic device to the left. When sliding to area B, the user lifts the finger to half-open the smart space.

[0283] 18( b ), when the smart space is half-open, the user clicks on any icon in the second category of applications to open the application, for example, clicks on the memo icon to open the memo application.

[0284] Referring to (c) in FIG. 18 , the electronic device displays the interface 11 before the smart space is opened, and the memo is displayed above the interface 11 in the form of a floating window.

[0285] Referring to (d) in Figure 18, in the interface shown in (b) in Figure 18, the user long presses the memo icon in the shortcut application, and after selecting the memo icon, drags the icon to the upper or lower side of the display screen. For example, long press the memo icon to select the memo icon, and after selecting the memo icon, drag the memo icon to the lower side of the display screen without raising your hand, then the display screen splits the display interface 11 and the memo interface, wherein the interface 11 is displayed on the upper side and the memo is displayed on the lower side of the display screen.

[0286] Of course, after selecting the memo icon, drag the memo icon to the upper side of the display screen, and the display screen will split the display interface 11 and the memo interface, wherein the interface 11 is displayed on the lower side and the memo is displayed on the upper side of the display screen.

[0287] In addition, the application icons in the sidebar can also be added or deleted, as shown in Figure 19.

[0288] Referring to FIG19( a ), the display screen of the electronic device displays any interface. When the electronic device displays any interface, the user slides their finger from the rightmost side of the display screen to the left to half-open or fully-open the smart space. This embodiment of the application takes the half-open smart space as an example.

[0289] 19( b ), the smart space is partially opened, and the interface displayed by the electronic device includes a sidebar. The user clicks the setting entry icon in the sidebar.

[0290] Referring to FIG19(c), the electronic device displays a sidebar icon settings interface. This settings interface consists of two sections: one section for first-category applications: global favorites and folders; and the other section for second-category applications: file management, email, music, etc. The applications displayed in this section do not represent all applications in the electronic device, but rather a third-category application that can be set to display in the sidebar for user use. An add button is displayed in the right sidebar. The user clicks the add button to enter the add interface.

[0291] 19(d), the electronic device displays an add interface. In this add interface, an add symbol is displayed in the upper right corner of an application icon that has not yet been added to the sidebar. Clicking this add button adds the corresponding application to the sidebar. A delete symbol is displayed in the upper right corner of an application icon already in the sidebar. Clicking this delete button deletes the corresponding application from the sidebar. For example, the user can select the add symbol displayed in the upper right corner of a folder.

[0292] 19(e), after the user clicks the add icon displayed in the upper right corner of the folder, the folder is added to the application space. The user clicks the "confirm button" below the sidebar to make the operation of adding or deleting the sidebar application icon effective.

[0293] Referring to (f) in Figure 19, the folder has been added to the sidebar. In the interface shown in (b) in Figure 19, the applications in the space include global favorites. After the operations from (c) to (e) in Figure 19, in the interface shown in (f) in Figure 19, the applications in the space displayed in the sidebar include global favorites and folders.

[0294] In the above examples, the user slides his finger to the left to trigger the electronic device to open the smart space. In actual applications, the user can also slide his finger to the right to trigger the electronic device to open the smart space. When the user slides his finger to the right to trigger the electronic device to open the smart space, the content on the left and right sides of the interface displayed by the electronic device are exchanged. For example, the sidebar is displayed on the left, and the interface displayed by the electronic device before opening the smart space (or the deformed image corresponding to the interface) is pushed to the right for display, and the middle area continues to display the favorite or stored objects. The object processing method related to the interface of the smart space after the left and right content are exchanged can refer to the description in the above embodiment and be adaptively modified. Other information not related to the present application displayed in each interface in the embodiment of the present application is only for example and does not impose any limitation on the present application. In addition, some content in the interface in the above example can be removed without affecting the object processing function provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0295] As another embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 20 , the object processing method provided by the present application includes:

[0296] S101, when displaying a first interface, the electronic device receives a first operation;

[0297] S102, in response to the first operation, the electronic device displays a second interface, the second interface including a first object, an icon of the first application, and an icon of the second application, the first object corresponding to the content of the first application;

[0298] S103, the electronic device receives a second operation of dragging the first object to the area where the icon of the second application is located and releasing it;

[0299] S104: In response to the second operation, the electronic device displays a third interface of the second application, where the third interface displays content associated with the first object.

[0300] In an embodiment of the present application, the first interface may be the interface displayed by the electronic device before the smart space is opened in the above embodiment. The interface may be other interfaces that can be displayed by the electronic device after removing the negative one screen, such as the system desktop, the interface of the application in the electronic device, and the interface shown in (a) in Figure 11, etc. The first operation may be the operation when the smart space is fully opened in the above embodiment, such as the gesture operation of the user's finger sliding from the rightmost side of the display screen to the left to area C. The second interface is any actual interface corresponding to the conceptual interface shown in (d) in Figure 2, such as the interface shown in (b) in Figure 11 and the interface after the smart space is fully opened in other embodiments. The first object may be any object displayed in area B after the smart space is opened, and the first application may be a first type of application that stores the first object. The second application may be a third type of application corresponding to the first object.

[0301] Although the above embodiments all take the example of displaying the third category of applications in the sidebar only when an object is selected, in actual applications, it can also be set to display multiple third category applications when the sidebar is displayed when the smart space is opened.

[0302] As an example, the first object is a first file, the second application is a print application, and the third interface is a print setting interface.

[0303] As another embodiment of the present application, the second operation includes a third operation and a fourth operation;

[0304] The electronic device receives a second operation of dragging the first object to the area where the icon of the second application is located and releasing the first object, including:

[0305] The electronic device receives a third operation of selecting the first object;

[0306] In response to the third operation, the electronic device displays a first control on the second interface, and the first control displays content of the first object;

[0307] The electronic device receives a fourth operation of dragging the first control into the area where the icon of the second application is located and releasing it, where the fourth operation is a dynamic gesture operation continuous with the third operation;

[0308] Correspondingly, in response to the second operation, the electronic device displays a third interface of the second application, including:

[0309] In response to the fourth operation, the electronic device displays a third interface of the second application.

[0310] In this application, the first control may be a first object in a suspended state. Continuous dynamic gesture operations may be multiple consecutive gesture operations without the user lifting their finger. For example, the third operation may be a long press operation on the first object to select the first object. Selecting the first object indicates that the user's subsequent continuous gesture operations will use the first object as the operation object. The fourth operation may be a sliding operation without the user lifting their finger after long pressing the first object.

[0311] As another embodiment of the present application, the electronic device includes a display screen, wherein a first object in a second interface is displayed in a first area of ​​the display screen, and an icon of a first application and an icon of a second application in the second interface are displayed in a second area of ​​the display screen;

[0312] When the first operation is a sliding operation from the right edge of the display screen to the left, the first area is located to the left of the second area;

[0313] When the first operation is an operation of sliding from the left edge of the display screen to the right, the first area is located to the right of the second area.

[0314] In the embodiment of the present application, the first area is area B in the above embodiment, and the second area is area A in the above embodiment.

[0315] As another embodiment of the present application, the first interface is an interface of a third application. In response to the first operation, the second interface displayed by the electronic device also includes a first image, and the first image is part of the content of the first interface. When the electronic device displays the second interface, the method further includes:

[0316] The electronic device receives a fifth operation of dragging the first object into the area where the first image is located and releasing the dragged object;

[0317] In response to the fifth operation, the electronic device displays a fourth interface of the third application, and the fourth interface displays content associated with the first object.

[0318] In this application, the first image is an image of a portion of the deformed interface displayed in area C after opening the smart space, and the fifth operation is the operation of dragging the first object to area C. As an example, the interface diagram shown in Figure 7 is an example of displaying a third interface of a third application after dragging the first object to the area where the first image is located. The first object is a first file, the third application is an instant messaging application, and the fourth interface is the interface after the instant messaging application sends the first file.
