Abstract

The present disclosure discloses an information processing method which includes: detecting a first drag and touch operation performed by a first operation body for moving a first object displayed in a first position on the touch display unit; acquiring a first end position of the first drag and touch operation on the touch display unit, the first end position is a position where the first operation body loses contact with the touch display unit during the first drag and touch operation; and maintaining the first object to be in a selected state in the first end position for a preset duration, and displaying the first object in the first end position.

First claim

I claim:

1. An information processing method, comprising:
detecting a first drag and touch operation performed by a first operation body for moving a first object displayed in a first position on a touch display unit of an electronic device, the first drag and touch operation being a touch operation of touching, by the first operation body, the first object on the touch display unit for a first touch duration greater than a preset touch duration, and dragging the first object;
acquiring a first end position of the first drag and touch operation on the touch display unit, the first end position being a position where the first operation body loses contact with the touch display unit by a deform surface during the first drag and touch operation;
maintaining the first object to be in a selected state in the first end position for a preset duration, and displaying the first object in the first end position;
judging whether the first operation body performs a second drag and touch operation within the preset duration to display the object at the second position;
when the first operation body performs the second drag and touch operation within the preset duration, displaying the first object at a second position of the touch display unit, the second position of the touch display unit corresponding to a second end position of the second drag and touch operation, the second end position being a position where the first operation body loses contact with the touch display unit during the second drag and touch operation; and
when the first operation body does not performs the second drag and touch operation within the preset duration, displaying the first object at a third position of the touch display unit, wherein the third position is a preset position.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, displaying the first object at the third position comprises: acquiring a first distance between the first end position and a preset position; when the first distance is less than or equal to a preset distance, displaying the first object at the preset position, the preset position being the third position.

3. An electronic device comprising:
a touch display unit; and
a processor configured to:
detecting a first drag and touch operation performed by a first operation body for moving a first object displayed in a first position on a touch display unit of an electronic device, the first drag and touch operation being a touch operation of touching, by the first operation body, the first object on the touch display unit for a first touch duration greater than a preset touch duration, and dragging the first object;
acquiring a first end position of the first drag and touch operation on the touch display unit, the first end position being a position where the first operation body loses contact with the touch display unit by a deform surface during the first drag and touch operation;
maintaining the first object to be in a selected state in the first end position for a preset duration, and displaying the first object in the first end position;
judging whether the first operation body performs a second drag and touch operation within the preset duration to display the object at the second position;
displaying the first object at a second position of the touch display unit when the first operation body performs the second drag and touch operation within the preset duration, the second position of the touch display unit corresponding to a second end position of the second drag and touch operation, the second end position being a position where the first operation body loses contact with the touch display unit during the second drag and touch operation; and
displaying the first object at a third position of the touch display unit when the first operation body does not performs the second drag and touch operation within the preset duration, wherein the third position is a preset position.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
acquire a first distance between the first end position and a preset position; and
display the first object at the preset position when the first distance is less than or equal to a preset distance, the preset position being the third position.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the touch display unit is made of a flexible material.

6. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to adjust the touch display unit from a deformed state to a flat state.

7. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, comprising instructions executable by a data processing device to perform the steps of claim 1 .
