Abstract

A method, apparatus for touch screen display process, and a browser are provided in the present disclosure. The method comprises: identifying Web elements used for Web interaction displayed on a touch screen; in response to a first action of a user on the touch screen, displaying the Web element pointed by the first action with enlargement; and in response to a second action of the user on the touch screen, triggering a Web interaction operation corresponding to the Web element pointed by the first action. According to the above technical solution, by displaying the Web element pointed by the first action of the user with enlargement, the user can preview the Web element that he actually selects, and a Web interaction is triggered only if it is determined that the Web element desired by the user has been correctly selected. Therefore, precise click can be realized.

Claims

1. A method for touch screen display process, comprising:

identifying, with a processing device, Web elements used for Web interaction displayed on a touch screen;

in response to a first action of a user on the touch screen, displaying the Web element pointed by the first action with enlargement; and

in response to a second action of the user on the touch screen, triggering a Web interaction operation corresponding to the Web element pointed by the first action.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein in response to a first action of a user on the touch screen, displaying the Web element pointed by the first action with enlargement comprises:

in response to the user moving the position of the first action occurring on the touch screen, sequentially displaying the Web elements pointed by the first action with enlargement; and

in response to a second action of the user on the touch screen, triggering a Web interaction operation corresponding to the Web element pointed by the first action comprises;

triggering a Web interaction operation corresponding to the Web element last pointed by the first action during the procedure of the movement.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein identifying Web elements used for Web interaction displayed on a touch screen comprises:

identifying positions and contents of the Web elements used for Web interaction displayed on the touch screen;

wherein, sequentially displaying the Web elements pointed by the first action with enlargement comprises;

sequentially determining the Web elements pointed by the first action according to the positions of the Web elements and the positions of the first action occurring on the touch screen; and

sequentially displaying the contents of the determined Web elements with enlargement.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein identifying Web elements used for Web interaction displayed on a touch screen comprises:

identifying positions and contents of the Web elements used for Web interaction displayed on the touch screen;

wherein, displaying the Web element pointed by the first action with enlargement comprises;

determining the Web element pointed by the first action according to the position of the Web element and the position of the first action occurring on the touch screen; and

displaying the content of the determined Web element with enlargement.

5. The method according to claim 3, wherein determining the Web element pointed by the first action according to the position of the Web element and the position of the first action occurring on the touch screen comprises:

determining the Web element with a distance between the coordinates corresponding to the position of the first action occurring on the touch screen and the coordinates corresponding to the position of the Web element satisfying a predetermined distance condition as the Web element pointed by the first action.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the predetermined distance condition comprises that the distance between the coordinates corresponding to the position of the first action occurring on the touch screen and the coordinates corresponding to the position of the Web element is shortest.

7. The method according to claim 3, wherein identifying Web elements used for Web interaction displayed on a touch screen further comprises:

identifying styles of the Web elements used for Web interaction displayed on the touch screen;

wherein said displaying the content of the determined Web element with enlargement comprises;

displaying the content of the determined Web element with enlargement according to the style of the determined Web element.

8. The method according to claim 3, wherein displaying the content of the determined Web element with enlargement comprises:

according to the position of the first action occurring on the touch screen, determining an available region for displaying the content of the determined Web element in an interface displayed on the touch screen;

determining an area close to the position of the first action occurring on the touch screen within the available region as an enlargement display area; and

displaying the content of the determined Web element with enlargement in the determined enlargement display area.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein:

the first action is a touch action, and the second action is a touch-stop action;

or

the first action is an action satisfying a first predetermined condition, and the second action is an action satisfying a second predetermined condition.

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the first predetermined condition is related to at least one of a time domain behavior and a spatial domain behavior of the first action, and the second predetermined condition is related to at least one of a time domain behavior and a spatial domain behavior of the second action.

11. An apparatus for touch screen display process, comprising:

an identification component, configured to identify Web elements used for Web interaction displayed on a touch screen;

an enlargement display component, configured to in response to a first action of a user on the touch screen, display the Web element pointed by the first action with enlargement; and

a triggering component, configured to in response to a second action of the user on the touch screen, trigger a Web interaction operation corresponding to the Web element pointed by the first action.

12. The apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the enlargement display component is further configured to, in response to the user moving the position of the first action occurring on the touch screen, sequentially display the Web elements pointed by the first action with enlargement;

and

the triggering component is further configured to, in response to the second action of the user on the touch screen, trigger the Web interaction operation corresponding to the Web element last pointed by the first action during the procedure of the movement.

13. The apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the identification component comprises a first identification unit, configured to identify positions and contents of the Web elements used for Web interaction displayed on the touch screen, and wherein, the enlargement display component comprises:

a determination unit, configured to sequentially determine the Web elements pointed by the first action according to the positions of the Web elements and the positions of the first action occurring on the touch screen; and
