Description

Touch screen response method and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of terminals, in particular to a touch screen response method and electronic equipment.

Background

With the updating and upgrading of electronic equipment, the screen size of the touch screen of the electronic equipment such as a smart phone and a tablet computer is larger and larger. Taking a mobile phone as an example, the vertical dimension of the current mobile phone is longer and longer, and the ratio of the vertical dimension to the transverse dimension is from 16:9 before to 18:9 and 19.5:9 now, and possibly to 21:9 in the future, which makes it difficult for a user to operate the upper area of the screen with the thumb if the user holds the lower half of the mobile phone with one hand while holding the mobile phone with one hand. While important buttons (such as return, set, etc.) on the display interface of many applications are arranged above the interface, the user has to use the other hand to operate. This tends to increase the difficulty of user operation and interrupt the immersion experience.

In order to change the situation that the size of the vertical screen is too large, when a user holds the mobile phone with one hand, the user cannot operate the upper half screen, a mobile phone system provides a single-hand mode, namely double-clicking a home key, and the display interface moves downwards to the position of the lower half screen, so that a button on the display interface is close to the finger of the user. However, this method may cause the window to become smaller or partially blocked, which may cause reading difficulty, and the interface needs to be reset after the operation is completed, which may affect the use efficiency, and in addition, the content of the interface changes greatly, and other operations (such as multitasking) related to the window need to adapt to the single-handed mode, which may increase the development workload and the maintenance cost.

The following embodiments can be implemented in an electronic device (e.g., the mobile phone 100) having the above hardware structure, and the following embodiments will take the mobile phone 100 as an example, and will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 2 illustrates a schematic view of a single-handed holding of a handset.

When the user holds the mobile phone with one hand, as shown in fig. 2, the user holds the mobile phone with the left hand, the thumb of the left hand is on the left side of the display screen 194 of the mobile phone 100, and the other fingers are on the back side or the right side of the display screen of the mobile phone. When a user holds the mobile phone with one hand, the user is accustomed to hold the lower half of the mobile phone in order to support the weight of the mobile phone and keep the balance of the mobile phone, and at this time, the thumb of the left hand can operate the lower half of the display screen, and the length of the thumb is limited, so that the thumb of the left hand can hardly reach the upper half of the mobile phone, and therefore, the thumb of the left hand can hardly operate the upper half of the display screen 194. If the width of the mobile phone is also large, the thumb of the left hand can operate the position close to the left side of the display screen, and the position close to the right side of the display screen is difficult to operate. A similar problem exists when the user has a right hand to hold the terminal with one hand.

Therefore, the method may be applied to an electronic device with a display screen, where the electronic device takes a mobile phone 100 as an example, a hot area is arranged in a side area of the display screen of the mobile phone 100, a user may operate the hot area at the side of the display screen to trigger a cursor to be displayed, the cursor may move along with the sliding of a finger of the user on the display screen, a ratio of a moving distance of the cursor to a sliding distance of the finger is greater than 1, when the finger slides to a certain position and leaves the display screen, the mobile phone 100 triggers a click operation at the position of the cursor, and responds to the click operation, so that a thumb of a hand holding the mobile phone may be used to perform a one-hand operation without changing a position and a size of a window of a user interface, and any position on the screen may be clicked.

The following describes in detail a response method of a touch screen provided in an embodiment of the present application, with reference to the accompanying drawings and taking an electronic device as a mobile phone as an example.

First, the hot zone at the side is described. As shown in fig. 3a and 3b, the vertical length of the display screen of the mobile phone 100 is L, the hot zone may be the entire side area of the display screen of the mobile phone, and the hot zone may also be a part of the side area, and considering the habit of the user, when the user holds the mobile phone with one hand, the thumb is generally in the middle or lower area of the side of the display screen, and it is generally hard to reach the upper quarter area, so as to facilitate the operation of the mobile phone when the user holds with one hand, the hot zone may be disposed in the middle or lower area of the mobile phone, for example, as shown in fig. 3a, the hot zone may also be the lower three quarters area of the side of the display screen of the mobile phone, such as the area 310 and the area 320. The hot zones may also be part of the sides except near the top and part near the bottom, for example as shown in fig. 3b, the hot zones may be the middle of the sides except for the top quarter and the bottom tenth, namely,

regions

330 and 340.

The following describes the functions of the side hot zone and the response method of the mobile phone to the user operation, taking the user's thumb acting on the side hot zone as an example.

In one example, the thumb of the user may perform a sliding operation into the screen for the hot area on the side, the mobile phone may display a semi-transparent arc-shaped area in response to the sliding operation, as shown in a in fig. 4, the thumb acts on the position a on the side and slides into the screen along the direction of the arrow 411, a semi-transparent arc-shaped area 421 shown in B in fig. 4 is displayed during the sliding process, the semi-transparent arc-shaped area 421 gradually becomes larger as the sliding distance of the finger increases, and when the sliding horizontal distance is greater than or equal to the preset distance (e.g. slides to the position B shown in B in fig. 4), the return mark 422 is displayed.

In one example, as shown in a in FIG. 5, after the return indicator 422 appears when the thumb slides to position B, the sliding continues, as shown by arrow 433, as shown in B in FIG. 5, triggering the display of the cursor 432 when sliding to position C, the vertical distance between position C and position B being greater than the distance threshold. In this example, the cursor 432 is displayed at position C when the thumb is slid upward in the direction of arrow 433 a vertical distance greater than a distance threshold, and in some other embodiments, the finger may also be slid downward, and when the vertical distance of the downward slide is greater than the distance threshold, the cursor 432 is also displayed at the corresponding position.

Then, the cursor can move with the hand, that is, the cursor moves in the same direction when the thumb moves. The following takes the hot zone shown in fig. 3a as an example to describe the specific following hand movement rule in detail.

After the cursor display is triggered, the size of the movable area of the finger is related to the position when the cursor display is triggered, and taking the vertical length of the display screen of the mobile phone as 100 pixels and the horizontal width as 30 pixels as an example, the aspect ratio of the mobile phone is 10: 3.

In one example, the finger movement distance and the cursor movement distance may be in a linear relationship, and the ratio between the distance of the cursor vertically moving and the distance of the cursor horizontally moving may be consistent with the aspect ratio of the mobile phone, that is, if the finger vertically moves 1 pixel, the cursor vertically moves 10 pixels, and if the finger horizontally moves 1 pixel, the cursor vertically moves 3 pixels. The ratio between the distance of the vertical movement of the cursor and the distance of the horizontal movement of the cursor can be inconsistent with the aspect ratio of the mobile phone, for example, if the finger vertically moves 1 pixel, the cursor vertically moves 4 pixels, and if the finger horizontally moves 1 pixel, the cursor horizontally moves 1.5 pixels. As shown in fig. 3c, when the cursor display is triggered at a position M (50 pixels from the top, 50 pixels from the bottom, and 30 pixels from the right) on the left side of the display screen, the finger can move up 12.5 pixels vertically, down 12.5 pixels vertically, and move 30 width to the right, i.e. the area where the finger can move is a rectangular area (such as the rectangular dashed box 350 in fig. 3 c) with a vertical length of 25 and a horizontal width of 30.

In other examples, the finger movement distance and the cursor movement distance may also be non-linear, such as an exponential function, a power function, and the like. For example, the function curve can be used to realize that the cursor can move faster first, and then the cursor moves slower as the moving distance becomes farther, so that when the function button is farther from the finger, the cursor moves slower when the cursor is about to reach the function button, and the operation point can be selected more accurately.

A WeChat discovery interface 410 as shown in b of FIG. 5, which includes a variety of function buttons, such as a friend circle function button, a sweep function button, a pan function button, a see-while-see function button, a search-and-search function button, a nearby people function button, a shopping function button, a game function button, an applet function button, etc., a user wants to click on the friend circle function button, a thumb can continue to slide in the direction of arrow 433 at position C, as shown in C of FIG. 5, when the thumb slides from position C to position D, a cursor 432 slides from position C to position E, where the thumb leaves the display, and a cell phone implements a click function at position E in response to the operation, a friend circle interface 420 as shown in D of FIG. 5 is displayed, wherein the direction of the connection of position C to position E is the same as the direction of the connection of position C to position D, however, the distance between the position C and the position E is greater than the distance between the position C and the position D, so that the thumb of the user only needs to slide on the display screen for a small distance, and the operation on the area above the half screen of the display screen can be realized, thereby improving the user experience.

In another example, the thumb slides in the side hot area to the screen until the return mark is displayed, the thumb leaves the display screen, and the mobile phone performs the return function in response to the operation, namely returns to the previous interface. As shown in fig. 6 a, the friend circle interface 420, the thumb slides into the screen at position a of the side hot zone in the direction of arrow 601, displaying an arc 621 shown in fig. 6B, until a return sign 602 appears in the arc 621 when sliding to position B, at which time the thumb leaves the display screen, displaying the previous interface of the friend circle interface 420, such as the WeChat discovery interface 410 shown in fig. 6 c.

In the embodiment of the present application, the manner of triggering the cursor display may be as in the embodiments described above: when the thumb slides to position B and the display screen displays the semi-transparent arc area 421 shown as B in fig. 4, the thumb continues to slide for a certain distance to trigger the cursor display.

In one example, when the thumb is slid to position B and the display screen displays the semi-transparent arc area 421 shown as B in fig. 4, the thumb is at rest but the thumb is not away from the display screen, i.e. the thumb is still in contact with the display screen, when the thumb is at rest on the display screen for a period of time greater than or equal to the duration threshold, the cursor display is triggered, and if the thumb is away from the display screen for a period of time less than the duration threshold, the mobile phone performs a return function, i.e. returns to the previous interface. This allows the thumb to be stationary while the semi-transparent arc area 421 is displayed, and allows the user's intent to be determined by determining the length of time the thumb is stationary on the display screen, whether it is desired to perform a return function or trigger a cursor display.

The user's thumb slides within a hot area on the side of the display screen, showing the semi-transparent arced region 421 in the above-described embodiment, and when the thumb is removed from the display screen, the semi-transparent arced region 421 disappears, i.e., the display screen no longer shows the semi-transparent arced region 421. It will be appreciated that the cursor in the above embodiments may also disappear when the thumb leaves the display screen, in a specific implementation, the cursor may disappear immediately after the thumb leaves the display screen, in this case, when the cursor needs to be used again, the cursor needs to slide again in the side hot area to the screen so as to trigger the cursor display again, in some other embodiments, the cursor may disappear after the thumb leaves the display screen for a certain time (for example, 3s), in this case, for example, when the thumb leaves the display screen for 2s, the cursor may continue to be operated by sliding the display screen again.

In another example, a cursor display may be triggered when the distance of the sliding is greater than a certain distance threshold, either sliding up or down within the side thermal zone. As shown in fig. 7 a, the thumb is applied to position a in the hot zone of the side edge and slid upward in the direction of arrow 711, and when the sliding distance is greater than or equal to the distance threshold (e.g., to position F shown in fig. 7 b), a cursor 721 is displayed. Cursor 721 appears after position F, moves following the thumb slide, and triggers the click function at the position where the thumb is off the display screen. The thumb at position F may continue to slide in the direction of arrow 731 as shown in c of fig. 7, and when the thumb slides from position F to position G and the cursor 432 slides from position F to position E, where the circle of friends function button is located, the thumb leaves the display screen, and the cell phone implements a click function at position E in response to this operation, displaying the circle of friends interface 420 as shown in d of fig. 5. The connecting direction from the position F to the position G is the same as that from the position F to the position E, but the connecting distance from the position F to the position E is larger than that from the position F to the position G, so that the thumb of a user only needs to slide a small distance on the display screen, the operation on the area of the upper half screen of the display screen can be realized, and the user experience is improved.

In yet another example, a thumb may press within a lateral hot zone to trigger a cursor display. The capacitance signal generated by the thumb pressing on the display screen can be approximate to an ellipse shape actually, that is, the thumb actually touches not a point but an ellipse area, and the cursor display can be triggered according to the fact that the area of the ellipse area is larger than an area threshold value and the pressing duration is larger than or equal to the preset duration. When a user holds the mobile phone with one hand, fingers often touch the side edge area carelessly, and by setting the filtering condition that the contact area of the hot area of the side edge pressed by the thumb is larger than the area threshold value and the pressing time is larger than or equal to the preset time, misoperation caused by the fact that the fingers touch the side edge area by mistake to trigger cursor display can be filtered.

In other embodiments, the function of triggering the cursor display may also be implemented by a floating button, and the floating button may be a semi-transparent dot or may be in other shapes, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

The function of the hover button is described in detail below.

In one example, when the thumb drags the hover button, the hover button may be moved, such as by dragging the hover button up or down in a vertical direction, such as by dragging the hover button left or right in a horizontal direction, and the hover button may be moved the same distance as the finger. So, can move the region that does not have the display content through removing the suspension button, with the suspension button removal to avoid the suspension button to shelter from the display content, promote user experience.

When the time for pressing the floating button by the thumb reaches a time threshold, after the mobile phone is vibrated to prompt the user to perform further operation, the thumb continues to press the floating button to slide upwards or downwards along the vertical direction, and when the vertical displacement is larger than or equal to the distance threshold, the cursor display is triggered. After the thumb presses the hover button 801, as shown in a in fig. 8, the thumb slides upward (as indicated by arrow 802) from position H to position K, as shown in b in fig. 8, and the cursor 803 is displayed at position H and moved to the position of the thumb (i.e., position K), while the hover button 801 remains at position H, where the vertical distance between position K and position H is greater than or equal to the distance threshold. After the cursor 803 is displayed, the cursor 803 moves along with the sliding of the finger, and for specific hand following rules, reference is made to relevant contents in the foregoing embodiments, and details are not repeated here.

After the cell phone vibrates to indicate that the user can do further operations, the thumb continues to press the hover button to slide left or right in the horizontal direction, which may trigger the multitasking management function, as shown in c of fig. 8, and the thumb slides right in the horizontal direction (as indicated by arrow 804) from position H to position L, displaying a multitasking management interface 810 as shown in d of fig. 8, where the multitasking management interface 810 includes multiple pages of applications running in the background, such as an information page 811 and a WeChat page 812.

In another example, when a thumb drags the hover button up or down in a vertical direction, a cursor display may be triggered when the distance dragging the hover button is greater than or equal to a certain distance threshold; when the thumb drags the hover button left or right along the horizontal direction, the multitask management function may be triggered when the distance of dragging the hover button is greater than or equal to a certain distance threshold. Therefore, the floating button can be directly dragged to realize the display of the trigger cursor, and compared with a mode of realizing the display of the trigger cursor by long-time pressing of the floating button and sliding operation, the mode of directly dragging the floating button can simplify the operation process and improve the efficiency.

When the time for pressing the floating button by the thumb reaches the time threshold, after the mobile phone is vibrated to prompt the user to perform further operation, the thumb continues to press the floating button to slide upwards or downwards along the vertical direction, or the thumb continues to press the floating button to slide leftwards or rightwards along the horizontal direction, so that the floating button can be dragged.

In yet another example, the functionality of the hover button may be defined as triggering a cursor display, taking into account that the hover navigation functionality is less frequently used and is repeated with portions of the gesture navigation functionality. For example, when the thumb drags the hover button up or down in the vertical direction, or the thumb drags the hover button left or right in the horizontal direction, triggering the cursor display may be implemented. For another example, when the time for pressing the hover button by the thumb reaches the time threshold, the mobile phone vibrates to prompt the user that further operation is possible, and when the sliding distance for the thumb to slide upwards or downwards on the hover button in the vertical direction is greater than or equal to the distance threshold, or when the sliding distance for the thumb to slide leftwards or rightwards on the hover button in the horizontal direction is greater than or equal to the distance threshold, the cursor display is triggered. Therefore, the function of the suspension button can be simplified, and the learning cost is reduced.

In other embodiments, if the front and the back of the mobile phone have display screens, or the mobile phone with the foldable screen is in a fully folded state, when the user holds the mobile phone with one hand, the user can operate the mobile phone with his thumb on the display screen at the front, and operate the mobile phone with his index finger or middle finger on the display screen at the back, and when the user performs a preset operation with his finger on the display screen at the back, the user can trigger the cursor to display, for example, the preset operation may include, but is not limited to, long pressing, sliding, double clicking, pressing with a large area, drawing a specific shape, and the like. In order to facilitate user operation, a finger of a user can operate in the display screen on the back side, a cursor moves on the display screen on the front side, and when the finger leaves the display screen at a certain position on the display screen on the back side, a click function is triggered at a position on the display screen on the front side corresponding to the position. It should be noted that when a finger moves on the display screen on the back side, a cursor displayed on the display screen on the front side moves along with the finger, and specific hand following rules refer to relevant contents in the foregoing embodiments, which are not described herein again.

The following description will be made with reference to fig. 9 by taking an example in which both the front and back sides of the mobile phone have display screens.

The display 901 on the back of the mobile phone as shown in a in fig. 9 and the display 902 on the front of the mobile phone as shown in b in fig. 9, the display 901 and the display 902 have a position mapping relationship. For example, the index finger performs a sliding operation on the display 901, the sliding operation is performed from the position M to the position N, and the mobile phone displays the cursor 903 at a position corresponding to the position N on the display 902 in response to the sliding operation.

Referring to fig. 10, a flow of a response method of a touch screen provided by an embodiment of the present application is exemplarily shown, where the method is executed by an electronic device.

In step 1001, an electronic device receives a first operation of a finger of a user in a preset area of a first side of a touch screen, where the first side is one of a left side and a right side of the touch screen.

For example, the predetermined region may be a hot region in the above embodiments, such as the region 310, further such as the region 320, further such as the region 330, further such as the region 340.

In step 1002, when the electronic device determines that the first operation satisfies the first response threshold, a cursor is displayed at an end position of the first operation in response to the first operation.

For example, the first operation includes a first sliding operation from a preset area of the first side edge into the screen and a second sliding operation continuing upward or downward from an end position of the first sliding operation, and the first response threshold is a first sliding distance corresponding to the first sliding operation and a second sliding distance in the vertical direction corresponding to the second sliding operation.

For another example, the first operation includes a first sliding operation from a preset area of the first side edge into the screen and a first pressing operation at an end position of the first sliding operation, and the first response threshold is a first sliding distance corresponding to the first sliding operation and a first pressing duration corresponding to the first pressing operation.

For another example, the first operation is a third sliding operation upward or downward in a preset area of the first side, and the first response threshold is a third sliding distance in the vertical direction.

For another example, the first operation is a second pressing operation, and the first response threshold is a second pressing duration and a first pressing area.

Step 1003, the electronic device detects a second operation of the user finger on the cursor, and the user finger leaves the touch screen when the second operation is finished, and triggers a click operation at a cursor position corresponding to a position where the user finger leaves the touch screen in response to the second operation, wherein a moving distance of the cursor is in direct proportion to a moving distance of the user finger corresponding to the second operation, and the ratio is greater than 1.

For example, the second operation is a slide operation. A sliding operation in the direction of arrow 433 shown in b in fig. 5, and a sliding operation in the direction of arrow 731 shown in c in fig. 7.

And step 1004, when the electronic equipment detects the click operation, responding to the click operation.

Based on the method, the user finger operates in the preset area of the first side edge of the touch screen, the cursor display can be touched, then the cursor is operated, the cursor can move along with the movement of the finger, the moving distance of the cursor is in direct proportion to the moving distance of the user finger corresponding to the second operation, the ratio is larger than 1, namely, the user finger moves a smaller distance, the cursor can move a larger distance, so that the thumb of the hand holding the mobile phone can be used for carrying out single-hand operation on the touch screen without changing the position and the size of a window of a user interface, and any position on the screen can be clicked.

In a possible design, when the first operation includes a first sliding operation from a preset area of the first side into the screen and a second sliding operation continuing to move up or down from an end position of the first sliding operation, as described with reference to fig. 4 and 5, when the electronic device receives the first sliding operation from the preset area of the first side into the screen (the sliding operation along arrow 411 shown in a in fig. 4), it is determined whether a sliding distance corresponding to the first sliding operation reaches the first sliding distance, if the first sliding distance is reached, it is detected whether a second sliding operation continuing to move up or down from the end position of the first sliding operation (the sliding operation along arrow 423 shown in a in fig. 5) is received, if the second sliding operation continuing to move up or down from the end position of the first sliding operation is received, it is determined whether a sliding distance corresponding to the second sliding operation along the vertical direction is greater than the second sliding distance, if it is larger than the second sliding distance, a cursor (e.g., cursor 432 shown in b of fig. 5) is displayed at the end position of the second sliding operation (e.g., position C shown in b of fig. 5).

In one possible design, when the first operation includes a first sliding operation from a preset area of the first side edge into the screen and a first pressing operation at an end position of the first sliding operation, when the electronic device receives a first sliding operation from the preset area of the first side edge into the screen (a sliding operation along arrow 411 as shown in a in fig. 4), whether the sliding distance corresponding to the first sliding operation reaches the first sliding distance can be judged, if the sliding distance reaches the first sliding distance, when a first pressing operation at the end position of the first sliding operation (position B shown in B in fig. 4) is received, it is determined whether the pressing duration corresponding to the first pressing operation is longer than the first pressing duration, and if so, the cursor is displayed at the end position of the first operation, that is, at the end position of the first sliding operation.

Further, as explained in conjunction with fig. 4, the electronic device displays an arc-shaped area (e.g., arc-shaped area 421 shown in b in fig. 4) on the first side in response to the first sliding operation (e.g., a sliding operation along arrow 411 shown in a in fig. 4). The result of the first sliding operation can be seen by the user through the display arc-shaped area, so that the user can intuitively know the sliding distance.

Further, the electronic device determines that the sliding distance corresponding to the first sliding operation (the sliding operation along the arrow 411 as shown in a in fig. 4) reaches the first sliding distance, displays a return identifier (the return identifier 422 as shown in b in fig. 4) in the arc-shaped area of the first side edge, and displays the cursor after the return identifier. In this design, the user is prompted by displaying a return identifier to return to the previous function.

Further, after determining that the sliding distance corresponding to the first sliding operation reaches the first sliding distance, the electronic device determines that the sliding distance of the second sliding operation in the vertical direction does not satisfy the second sliding distance, or the pressing duration corresponding to the first pressing operation does not satisfy the first pressing duration, and then, in response to the first sliding operation, performs a return to a previous function, for example, as shown in B in fig. 6, after the first sliding operation of the user finger sliding from the position a to the position B, if the second sliding operation is continued, the electronic device leaves the touch screen when the sliding distance in the vertical direction does not satisfy the second sliding distance, and then, the electronic device performs a return to a previous function, and returns to a previous page, that is, the interface 410 shown in c in fig. 6, from the interface 420 shown in B in fig. 6. Or after the finger of the user performs the first sliding operation from the position A to the position B, the electronic equipment leaves the touch screen when the pressing time length of the position B does not meet the first pressing time length, and then the electronic equipment returns to the previous function.

In a possible design, when the electronic device receives a third sliding operation (a sliding operation in the direction of the arrow 711 shown in a in fig. 7) that is performed upward or downward on the preset area on the first side, it may be determined whether the sliding distance of the third sliding operation in the vertical direction reaches a third sliding distance, and if the third sliding distance is reached, a cursor (a cursor 721 shown in b in fig. 7) is displayed at the end position of the first operation, that is, the cursor is displayed at the end position of the third sliding operation.

In a possible design, when the electronic device receives a second pressing operation on the preset region of the first side, it may be determined whether a pressing duration corresponding to the second pressing operation is greater than the second pressing duration and a pressing area corresponding to the second pressing operation is greater than the first pressing area, and if both the determination results are yes, a cursor is displayed at an end position of the first pressing operation, that is, the cursor is displayed at a position of the second pressing operation.

In one possible design, the shape of the cursor is any one of, but not limited to: circle, arrow, I-shape, diamond, rectangle, vertical line.

Referring to fig. 11, a flow of another touch screen response method provided in an embodiment of the present application is exemplarily shown, and the method is performed by an electronic device.

In step 1101, the electronic device detects a third operation of the user's finger on the hover button displayed on the touch screen.

As an example, the hover button may be the hover button 801 in the above example.

In step 1102, when the electronic device determines that the third operation satisfies the second response threshold, the electronic device displays a cursor at an end position of the third operation in response to the third operation.

For example, the third operation is a fourth sliding operation to the left or right in the horizontal direction, or to the up or down in the vertical direction, and the second response threshold is a fourth sliding distance.

For another example, the third operation includes a third pressing operation and a fifth sliding operation, and the second response threshold is a third pressing duration corresponding to the third pressing operation and a fifth sliding distance corresponding to the fifth sliding operation.

Step 1103, when the electronic device detects a fourth operation of the user's finger on the cursor and the user's finger leaves the touch screen after the second operation is finished, in response to the fourth operation, a click operation is triggered at a cursor position corresponding to a position where the user's finger leaves the touch screen, where a moving distance of the cursor is in direct proportion to a moving distance of the user's finger corresponding to the fourth operation, and the ratio is greater than 1.

For example, the fourth operation is a slide operation.

And step 1104, when the electronic device detects the click operation, responding to the click operation.

Based on the method, the user operates the suspension button by fingers, cursor display can be touched, then the cursor is operated, the cursor can move along with the movement of the fingers, the moving distance of the cursor is in direct proportion to the moving distance of the user fingers corresponding to the second operation, the ratio is larger than 1, namely, the cursor can move for a larger distance by moving the user fingers for a smaller distance, so that the user can use the thumb of the hand holding the mobile phone to carry out single-hand operation on the touch screen without changing the position and the size of a window of a user interface, and any position on the screen can be clicked.

In one possible design, the electronic device detects a fourth sliding operation of the user's finger on the hover button displayed on the touch screen in the horizontal direction to the left or the right, or in the vertical direction to the up or the down direction, and when the electronic device determines that the sliding distance corresponding to the fourth sliding operation is greater than the fourth sliding operation, the electronic device displays the cursor at the end position of the fourth sliding operation in response to the fourth sliding operation. Illustratively, the fourth sliding operation is a sliding operation in the direction of the arrow 802 as shown by b in fig. 8, sliding from the position H to the position K, and the distance difference between the position K and the position H is larger than the fourth sliding operation, then the cursor 802 is displayed at the position K.

In one possible design, the electronic device detects a third pressing operation of a finger of the user on a hover button displayed on the touch screen, detects a fifth sliding operation on the hover button when the electronic device determines that a pressing duration corresponding to the third pressing operation is longer than the third pressing duration, and displays a cursor at an end position of the fifth sliding operation in response to the fifth sliding operation when it is determined that a sliding distance corresponding to the fifth sliding operation is longer than the fifth sliding distance.

Further, when the pressing duration of the third pressing operation reaches the third pressing duration, the electronic device performs vibration prompting. Thus, the user can determine that the pressing time period of the third pressing operation reaches the third pressing time period by sensing the vibration without looking at the screen.

In one possible design, the shape of the cursor includes, but is not limited to, any of: arrow, I-shape, circle, diamond, rectangle, vertical line.
