Abstract

A display method and an electronic device are disclosed in the application. The method includes: detecting, by a first acquisition unit, operation data, while displaying a first part of an output content on a display unit; acquiring, by a second acquisition unit, first focus data of an object user within a set range watching the output content, wherein the focus data indicates a position of the display unit corresponding to a focus of the object user; and displaying a second part of the output content, based on the operation data and the first focus data, wherein the second part is different from the first part.

First claim

1 . A display method, comprising:
detecting operation data when a first part of an output content is displayed on a display unit; acquiring focus data relating to a user watching the output content, wherein the focus data indicates a position of the display unit corresponding to a focus of the user; and displaying a second part of the output content, upon the operation data being detected and the focus data acquired.

2 . The display method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying the second part of the output content comprises:
determining, based on the focus data, a first position of the display unit corresponding to the focus of the user; and displaying the second part of the output content based on the first position of the display unit.

3 . The display method according to claim 2 , wherein the displaying the second part of the output content comprises:
determining a first distance between the first position and a boundary of the display unit; and displaying the second part of the output content, based on the determined first distance.

4 . The display method according to claim 3 , wherein the displaying the second part of the output content comprises:
determining a first adjustment range corresponding to the first distance based on a preset correspondence between the first distance and the first adjustment range, wherein the first adjustment range corresponds to a positional adjustment of the output content in order to display the second part of the output content; and displaying the second part of the output content, based on the determined first adjustment range.

5 . The display method according to claim 4 , wherein the correspondence between the first distance and the first adjustment range is direct proportion.

6 . The display method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying the second part of the output content comprises:
setting a display mark based on the focus data, wherein the display mark distinguishes the second part of the output content from the first part; and displaying the second part of the output content and the display mark.

7 . The display method according to claim 6 , wherein the setting the display mark, based on the focus data, comprises:
determining the position of the display unit corresponding to the focus data; and displaying the display mark at said position of the display unit.

8 . The display method according to claim 1 , wherein the operation data corresponds to a scrolling operation performed on any one device selected from a group of devices comprising:
a mouse device; a keyboard; and a touch screen.

9 . An electronic device, comprising:
a first detection module, configured to detect operation data while a first part of an output content is displayed on a display unit; a second detection module, configured to acquire focus data of a user watching the output content, wherein the focus data indicates a position of the display unit corresponding to a focus of the user; and an output module, configured to display a second part of the output content upon the operation data being detected and the focus data acquired.

10 . The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the output module is configured to:
determine a first position of the display unit corresponding to the focus of the user based on the first focus data; and display the second part of the output content based on the determined first position of the display unit.

11 . The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the output module is configured:
to determine the first position of the display unit corresponding to the focus of the user based on the focus data; to determine a first distance between the first position and a boundary of the display unit; and to display the second part of the output content based on said determined first distance.

12 . The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the output module is configured:
to set a display mark based on the focus data, wherein the display mark distinguishes the second part of the output content from the first part; and to display the second part of the output content and the display mark.

13 . The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the operation data corresponds to a scrolling operation performed on any one device selected from a group of devices comprising:
a mouse device; a keyboard; and a touch screen.

14 . An electronic device, comprising:
a first acquisition unit, configured to acquire operation data, when a first part of an output content is displayed on a display unit; a second acquisition unit, configured to acquire focus data of a user watching the output content, wherein the focus data indicates a position of the display unit corresponding to a focus of the user; and a processor, configured to control the display unit to display a second part of the output content upon acquisition of the operation data and the focus data.

15 . The electronic device according to claim 14 , wherein the processor is configured to:
determine, based on the focus data, a first position of the display unit corresponding to the focus of the user; and display the second part of the output content, based on the determined first position of the display unit.

16 . The electronic device according to claim 14 , wherein the operation data corresponds to a scrolling operation performed on any one device selected from a group of devices comprising: a mouse device; a keyboard; and a touch screen.
