Abstract

The present invention provides a method for processing a user interface of a terminal, a user interface, and a terminal. The method includes: obtaining a first operation input by a user, and determining a first touch event corresponding to the first operation; and presenting, in a preset area of a display of a terminal according to the first touch event, a first interface for the user to operate with one hand. The method provided in embodiments of the present invention diversifies a manner of triggering a terminal to generate a one-handed operation interface, and further improves intelligence of human-machine interaction.

First claim

1 . A method for processing a user interface of a terminal, comprising:
obtaining a first operation input by a user, and determining a first touch event corresponding to the first operation, wherein the first touch event comprises at least one of: a first swipe event, in a navigation area of the terminal, that is collected by the terminal according to the first operation; a second swipe event, on a physical button of the terminal, that is collected by the terminal according to the first operation; a double-tap event, on a virtual button in the navigation area, that is collected by the terminal according to the first operation; or a first touch-and-hold event, on the virtual button in the navigation area, that is collected by the terminal according to the first operation; and presenting, in a preset area of a display of the terminal according to the first touch event, a first interface for the user to operate with one hand, wherein content of interface elements of the first interface is the same as content of interface elements of a second interface displayed on the display of the terminal, and sizes of the interface elements of the first interface are sizes of the interface elements of the scaled-down second interface; or content of interface elements of the first interface is the same as content of some interface elements of interface elements of the second interface, and sizes of the interface elements of the first interface are the same as sizes of the some interface elements.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first swipe event comprises a swipe track corresponding to the first operation in the navigation area, a swipe speed corresponding to the first operation in the navigation area, and a swipe direction corresponding to the first operation in the navigation area;
the second swipe event comprises a type of the physical button touched in the first operation, a quantity of physical buttons touched in the first operation, a swipe track of the first operation on the physical button touched in the first operation, a swipe speed of the first operation on the physical button touched in the first operation, and a swipe direction of the first operation on the physical button touched in the first operation; the double-tap event comprises a type of the virtual button touched in the first operation, and a quantity of taps of the first operation on the virtual button touched in the first operation, wherein the type of the virtual button comprises a virtual home button, a virtual back button, and a virtual multitasking button; and the first touch-and-hold event comprises the type of the virtual button touched in the first operation, and contact duration of the first operation on the virtual button touched in the first operation.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the presenting, in a preset area of a display of the terminal according to the first touch event, a first interface for the user to operate with one hand specifically comprises:
when the first touch event is the first swipe event, after determining that the swipe track corresponding to the first operation in the navigation area and the swipe speed corresponding to the first operation in the navigation area meet a first preset condition, presenting, by the terminal, the first interface on the display according to the swipe direction corresponding to the first operation in the navigation area; or when the first touch event is the second swipe event, after determining that the type of the physical button touched in the first operation, the quantity of physical buttons touched in the first operation, the swipe track of the first operation on the physical button touched in the first operation, and the swipe speed of the first operation on the physical button touched in the first operation meet a second preset condition, presenting, by the terminal, the first interface on the display according to the swipe direction of the first operation on the physical button touched in the first operation; or when the first touch event is the double-tap event, presenting, by the terminal, the first interface on the display when determining that the type of the virtual button touched in the first operation matches a first preset type, and that the virtual button touched in the first operation is tapped twice in the first operation; or when the first touch event is the first touch-and-hold event, presenting, by the terminal, the first interface on the display when determining that the type of the virtual button touched in the first operation matches a second preset type, and that the contact duration of the first operation on the virtual button touched in the first operation meets first preset duration.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the presenting, in a preset area of a display of the terminal according to the first touch event, a first interface for the user to operate with one hand, the method further comprises:
obtaining a second operation input by the user, and determining a second touch event corresponding to the second operation, wherein the second touch event comprises at least one of: a third swipe event, in the navigation area of the terminal, that is collected by the terminal according to the second operation; a fourth swipe event, on the physical button of the terminal, that is collected by the terminal according to the second operation; a second touch-and-hold event, on the virtual button in the navigation area, that is collected by the terminal according to the second operation; or a fifth swipe event, in an adjustable area, that is collected by the terminal according to the second operation, wherein the adjustable area is an area on the display other than the first interface; and adjusting a size of the first interface according to the second touch event.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the third swipe event comprises a swipe track corresponding to the second operation in the navigation area, a swipe speed corresponding to the second operation in the navigation area, and a swipe direction corresponding to the second operation in the navigation area;
the fourth swipe event comprises a type of the physical button touched in the second operation, a quantity of physical buttons touched in the second operation, a swipe track of the second operation on the physical button touched in the second operation, a swipe speed of the second operation on the physical button touched in the second operation, and a swipe direction of the second operation on the physical button touched in the second operation; the second touch-and-hold event comprises a type of the virtual button touched in the second operation, and contact duration of the second operation on the virtual button touched in the second operation; and the fifth swipe event comprises a swipe direction corresponding to the second operation in the adjustable area, and a swipe speed corresponding to the second operation in the adjustable area.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the adjusting a size of the first interface according to the second touch event specifically comprises:
when the second touch event is the third swipe event, adjusting, by the terminal, the size of the first interface according to the swipe track corresponding to the second operation in the navigation area and the swipe direction corresponding to the second operation in the navigation area, and controlling, according to the swipe speed corresponding to the second operation in the navigation area, a speed of adjusting the size of the first interface; or when the second touch event is the fourth swipe event, adjusting, by the terminal, the size of the first interface according to the type of the physical button touched in the second operation, the quantity of physical button
