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

The invention claimed is:

1. A display method, comprising:
detecting operation data when a first part of an output content is displayed on a display unit, wherein the operation data corresponds to an operation for adjusting the displayed output content;
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;
displaying a second part of the output content, based on the operation data being detected and the focus data acquired;
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;
determining a first distance between the first position and a boundary of the display unit;
displaying the second part of the output content, based on the determined first distance;
setting a display mark between the first part and the second part based on the focus data, wherein the display mark is provided at the top of the second part for indicating a starting position of the second part of the output content; and
displaying the display mark while displaying the second part of the output content.

2. The display method according to claim 1 , 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.

3. The display method according to claim 2 , wherein the correspondence between the first distance and the first adjustment range is direct proportion.

4. The display method according to claim 1 , 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 the position of the display unit.

5. 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.

6. 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, wherein the operation data corresponds to an operation for adjusting the displayed output content;
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; an output module, configured to display a second part of the output content based on the operation data being detected and the focus data acquired; and
wherein the output module is further configured to:
determine a first position of the display unit corresponding to the focus of the user based on the focus data;
determine a first distance between the first position and a boundary of the display unit;
display the second part of the output content based on the determined first distance;
set a display mark between the first part and the second part based on the focus data, wherein the display mark is provided at the top of the second part for indicating a starting position of the second part of the output content; and
display the display mark while displaying the second part of the output content.

7. The electronic device according to claim 6 , 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.

8. 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, wherein the operation data corresponds to an operation for adjusting the displayed output content;
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;
a processor, configured to control the display unit to display a second part of the output content based on the operation data and the focus data; and
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;
determine a first distance between the first position and a boundary of the display unit;
display the second part of the output content based on the determined first distance;
set a display mark between the first part and the second part based on the focus data, wherein the display mark is provided at the top of the second part for indicating a starting position of the second part of the output content; and
display the display mark while displaying the second part of the output content.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , 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.
