Abstract

The present invention provides a displaying method and mobile terminal, wherein the method comprises: detecting a grip data through a sensor by a mobile terminal; determining a grip posture according to the grip data wherein the grip posture including a left-hand grip or a right-hand grip; adjusting a display of the mobile terminal to a style corresponding to the grip posture, wherein the display style is adjusted to the style for the convenience of the current grip posture operation according to the posture of the user currently gripping the mobile terminal with a large screen size, and increase the user's experience.

First claim

1 . A displaying method, comprising:
detecting a grip data through a sensor by a mobile terminal; acquiring a contour formed by a region of the grip data sensed by the sensor; comparing the contour with a predefined grip posture, and determining whether a current grip posture is a single-hand grip or a both-hands grip; determining that the grip posture is a left-hand grip or a right-hand grip if the grip posture is the single-hand grip, otherwise, no processing; locating an operation menu of the mobile terminal into a region convenient for a thumb manipulation under the grip posture, wherein the operation menu of the mobile terminal is located into a region convenient for a left-thumb manipulation if the grip posture is the left-hand grip; while the operation menu of the mobile terminal is located into a region convenient for a right-thumb manipulation if the grip posture is the right-hand grip.

2 . The displaying method of claim 1 , wherein the sensors are sequentially disposed on an edge of a housing of the mobile terminal, the sensor is a pressure sensor or a heat sensor.

3 . The displaying method of claim 1 , wherein before the step of detecting the grip data through the sensor by the mobile terminal, the method further comprises:
determining whether to enable a page auto-adjusting function; monitoring an event subscription device and performing the step of detecting the grip data through the sensor by the mobile terminal if the auto-adjusting function is enabled; wherein the subscription device is used for subscribing a monitored event of a grip state, when it is monitored that the grip posture is the left-hand grip or the right-hand grip, the subscription device sends a notification message to a subscriber, to control the subscriber to adjust a display of the subscriber to a style corresponding to the grip posture, and the subscriber is a user end of the mobile terminal.

4 . A displaying method, comprising:
detecting a grip data through a sensor by a mobile terminal; acquiring a contour formed by a region of the grip data sensed by the sensor; comparing the contour with a predefined grip posture; and determining whether a current grip posture is a single-hand grip or a both hands grip; determining a grip posture according to the grip data, wherein the grip posture includes a left-hand grip or a right-hand grip; adjusting displaying of the mobile terminal to a style corresponding to the grip posture, wherein if the grip posture is the left-hand grip, then the display of the mobile terminal is adjusted to a style convenient for a manipulation of the left-hand grip; if the grip posture is the right-hand grip, then the display of the mobile terminal is adjusted to a style convenient for a manipulation of the right-hand grip.

5 . The displaying method of claim 4 , wherein the step of determining the grip posture according to the grip data, the method particularly comprises:
determining that the grip posture is a left-hand grip or a right-hand grip if the grip posture is the single-hand grip, otherwise, no processing.

6 . The displaying method of claim 4 , wherein the step of adjusting the display of the mobile terminal to the corresponding style of the grip posture, the method particularly comprises:
locating an operation menu of the mobile terminal to a region convenient for a thumb manipulation under the grip posture, wherein, if the grip posture is the left-hand grip, then locating the operation menu of the mobile terminal to a region convenient for a left-thumb manipulation; if the grip posture is the right-hand grip, then locating the operation menu of the mobile terminal to a region convenient for a right-thumb manipulation.

7 . The displaying method of claim 4 , wherein the sensors are sequentially disposed on an edge of a housing of the mobile terminal, the sensor is a pressure sensor or a heat sensor.

8 . The displaying method of claim 4 , wherein before the step of detecting the grip data through the sensor by the mobile terminal, the method further comprises:
determining whether to enable a page auto-adjusting function; if the auto-adjusting function enabled, then monitoring an event subscription device and performing steps of detecting the grip data through the sensor by the mobile terminal; wherein the subscription device is used for subscribing a monitored event of a grip state, when it is monitored that the grip posture is the left-hand grip or the right-hand grip, the subscription device sends a notification message to a subscriber, to control the subscriber to adjust a display of the subscriber to a style corresponding to the grip posture, and the subscriber is a user end of the mobile terminal.

9 . A mobile terminal, comprising:
a detecting module for detecting a grip data through a sensor; an acquiring unit for acquiring a contour formed by a region of the grip data sensed by the sensor; a first determining unit for comparing the contour with a predefined grip posture, and determining whether the grip posture is a single-hand grip or a both-hands grip; a determining module for determining a grip posture according to the grip data, wherein the grip posture including a left-hand grip or a right-hand grip; an adjusting module for adjusting a display of the mobile terminal to a style corresponding to the grip posture, wherein if the grip posture is the left-hand grip, then the display of the mobile terminal is adjusted to a style convenient for a manipulation of the left-hand grip; if the grip posture is the right-hand grip, then the display of the mobile terminal is adjusted to a style convenient for a manipulation of the right-hand grip.

10 . The mobile terminal of claim 9 , wherein the determining module comprises:
a second determining, unit for determining whether the grip posture is a left-hand grip or a right-hand grip, when the grip posture is determined to be the single-hand grip by the first determining unit.

11 . The mobile terminal of claim 9 , wherein the adjusting module is particularly used for locating an operation menu of the mobile terminal to a region convenient for a thumb manipulation under the grip posture, wherein, if the grip posture is the left-hand grip, then locating the operation menu of the mobile terminal to a region convenient for a left-thumb manipulation; if the grip posture is the right-hand grip, then locating the operation menu of the mobile terminal to a region convenient for a right-thumb manipulation.

12 . The mobile terminal of claim 9 , wherein the sensors are sequentially disposed on an edge of a housing of the mobile terminal, the sensor is a pressure sensor or a heat sensor.

13 . The mobile terminal of claim 9 , wherein the terminal further comprises:
a subscription management module; a setting module for saving a setting message inputted by the user, when the setting module receives the setting message of enabling a page auto-adjusting function inputted from the user, notifying the subscription management module of monitoring an event subscription device, and notifying the detecting module of detecting the grip data; wherein the subscription device is used for subscribing a monitored event of a grip state, when it is monitored that the grip posture is the left-hand grip or the right-hand grip, the subscription device sends a notification message to a subscriber, to control the subscriber to adjust a display of the subscriber to a style corresponding to the grip posture, and the subscriber is a user end of the mobile terminal.
