Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An information processing method and an electronic apparatus are described. The method includes acquiring M sense points for representing an input operation through a sensing device; deciding whether the M sense points satisfy a predetermined condition to generate a decision result; when the decision result identifies that the M sense points satisfy the predetermined condition, representing that the input operation is an input operation for changing the display content of a display screen, and then generating a switch instruction; controlling a first object identification in the first region of the display screen to change to a N+1th object identification at a first moment in response to the switch instruction according to parameter values of the M sense points; controlling a second region including the first region of the display screen to display N+1th data content corresponding to the N+1th object identification one by one at a T+1th moment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An information processing method applied in an electronic apparatus, the method comprising: acquiring M sense points for representing an input operation through a sensing device of the electronic apparatus, wherein M is an integer larger than or equal to 1; deciding whether the M sense points satisfy a predetermined condition to generate a decision result; representing that the input operation is an input operation for changing a display content of the display screen when the decision result identifies that the M sense points satisfy the predetermined condition, and generating a switch instruction; controlling a first object identification in a first region of a display screen of the electronic apparatus to change to a N+1th object identification at a first moment in response to the switch instruction according to parameter values of the M sense points, wherein N is an integer larger than or equal to 1; and controlling a second region of the display screen to display N+1th data content corresponding to the N+1th object identification one by one at a T+1th moment, wherein the second region comprises the first region, and T is an integer larger than or equal to 1, wherein the T+1th moment is after the first moment, and during a period from the first moment to the T+1th moment, the N+1th object identification is continuously displayed in the first region of the display screen while the N+1th data content corresponding to the N+1th object identification is not displayed in the second region of the display screen. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein controlling the first object identification in the first region of the display screen to change to the N+1th object identification at the first moment in response to the switch instruction according to the parameter values of the M sense points comprises: displaying n object identifications in order in the first region of the display screen when the parameter values of the M sense points are larger than a set threshold, wherein a last object identification in the n object identifications is the N+1th object identification, and n is an integer such that 2≤n≤N. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein controlling the first object identification in the first region of the display screen to change to the N+1th object identification at the first moment in response to the switch instruction according to the parameter values of the M sense points comprises: displaying a second object identification in the first region of the display screen when the parameter values are less than a set threshold, wherein, the second object identification is the N+1th object identification, and the second object identification is a next object identification of the first object identification. 4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises at the time of displaying the n object identifications in order in the first region of the display screen, controlling a progress identification to be displayed in a third region of the display screen, and controlling the progress identification to change with the n object identifications in the first region changing in order; wherein the progress identification is for indicating a positional relationship/progress relationship of the object identification positioned in the first region currently with respect to a complete set of the object identifications. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic apparatus includes a frame body and a fixing device connected to the frame body for fixing the electronic apparatus on an operational body; the frame body includes a functional main body including a display screen and a display module, and display principles of the display module and the display screen are different; the display module comprises a display imaging unit, and a top end face of the frame body is made of a transparent material and the display screen is provided under the top end face; the display screen corresponds to a first display output region on the top end face, and the display module corresponds to a second display output region on the top end face; a first size of the display screen is consistent with a size of the first display output region, and a second size of the display imaging unit is less than a size of the second display output region; a perceived size of a display content on the display screen is consistent with the first display output region when there is a first distance value between the electronic apparatus and an observer of the electronic apparatus, and a perceived size of a display content on the display imaging unit is larger than the size of the second display output region when there is a first distance value between the electronic apparatus and the observer of the electronic apparatus, wherein a light spot in the second display output region can be an effect displayed and outputted by the display module; when the user gets closer to the electronic apparatus, abundant content can be seen through the light spot of the second display output region, and the content observed by the user exceeds content that can be carried by physical magnitude of the second display output region; and the method further comprising: detecting whether there is the first distance value between the electronic apparatus and the observer to obtain a detection result; enabling the display module when the detection result indicates that a the first distance value between the electronic apparatus and the observer exists; displaying associated data content through the display module, wherein the associated data content is related to the object identification displayed on the display screen and/or the data content corresponding to the object identification. 6. An electronic apparatus including a display screen and a sensing device, wherein the electronic apparatus comprises a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, which when executed is configured to: acquire M sense points for representing an input operation through the sensing device, wherein M is an integer larger than or equal to 1; decide whether the M sense points satisfy a predetermined condition to generate a decision result; represent that the input operation is an input operation for changing the display content of the display screen when the decision result identifies that the M sense points satisfy the predetermined condition, and to generate a switch instruction; control a first object identification in a first region of the display screen to change to a N+1th object identification at a first moment in response to the switch instruction according to parameter values of the M sense points, wherein N is an integer larger than or equal to 1; and control a second region of the display screen to display N+1th data content corresponding to the N+1th object identification one by one at a T+1th moment, wherein the second region comprises the first region, and T is an integer larger than or equal to 1, wherein the T+1th moment is after the first moment, and during a period from the first moment to the T+1th moment, the N+1th object identification is continuously displayed in the first region of the display screen while the N+1th data content corresponding to the N+1th object identification is not displayed in the second region of the display screen. 7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium is further configured to trigger a first controller when it determines that the parameter values are larger than a set threshold; and the first controller is configured to control to display n object identifications in order in the first region of the display screen, wherein, a last object identification in t
