Abstract

A method for processing a document by a terminal with a touch screen and a terminal with a touch screen are provided, wherein, the method includes: the terminal storing a control region corresponding to a document operation and an operation mode for the control region; the terminal monitoring the control region, and when it is determined that the monitored operation mode for the control region is coincident with the operation mode for the control region stored by the terminal, operating the document according to the document operation corresponding to the control region. The above method for processing a document by a terminal with a touch screen and a terminal with a touch screen enable the user to set up the operation region on different positions of the touch screen flexibly, thus largely improving the reading experience of the user.

Claims

1. A method for processing a document by a terminal with a touch screen, comprising:

the terminal storing a control region set up by a user corresponding to a document operation and an operation mode for the control region; and

the terminal monitoring the control region, and when it is determined that a monitored operation mode for the control region is coincident with the operation mode for the control region stored by the terminal, operating the document according to the document operation corresponding to the control region.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein,

the operation mode for the control region is single-touch, double-touch, long-press, short-press or slide.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein,

the control region is displayed in a form of watermark.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein,

the document comprises one or more of the following documents:

a text document, a picture document or a webpage document;

when the document is a picture document, the document operation comprises one or more of the following operations;

scaling-up, scaling-down, moving and picture switching operations;

when the document is a text document, the document operation comprises one or more of the following operations;

page turning and row up-down switching operations; and

when the document is a webpage document, the document operation comprises one or more of the following operations;

focused term up-down switching, focused term left-right switching and page switching operations.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein,

the control region comprises one or more regions located on a left side and/or right side of the touch screen of the terminal.

11. The method according to claim 2, wherein,

the control region comprises one or more regions located on a left side and/or right side of the touch screen of the terminal.

12. The method according to claim 3, wherein,

the control region comprises one or more regions located on a left side and/or right side of the touch screen of the terminal.

13. The method according to claim 4, wherein,

the control region comprises one or more regions located on a left side and/or right side of the touch screen of the terminal.

6. A terminal with a touch screen, comprising:

a storage module, configured to store a control region set up by a user corresponding to a document operation and an operation mode for the control region; and

a processing module, configured to monitor the control region, and when it is determined that a monitored operation mode for the control region is coincident with the operation mode of the control region stored by the terminal, operate the document according to the document operation corresponding to the control region.

7. The terminal according to claim 6, wherein,

the operation mode for the control region is single-touch, double-touch, long-press, short-press or slide.

8. The terminal according to claim 6, wherein,

the control region is displayed in a form of watermark.

9. The terminal according to claim 6, wherein,

the document comprises one or more of the following documents:

a text document, a picture document or a webpage document;

when the document is a picture document, the document operation comprises one or more of the following operations;

scaling-up, scaling-down, moving and picture switching operations;

when the document is a text document, the document operation comprises one or more of the following operations;

page turning and row up-down switching operations; and

when the document is a webpage document, the document operation comprises one or more of the following operations;

focused term up-down switching, focused term left-right switching and page switching operations.

10. The terminal according to any of claims 6-9, wherein,

the control region comprises one or more regions located on a left side and/or right side of the touch screen of the terminal.

14. The terminal according to claim 7, wherein,

the control region comprises one or more regions located on a left side and/or right side of the touch screen of the terminal.

15. The terminal according to claim 8, wherein,

the control region comprises one or more regions located on a left side and/or right side of the touch screen of the terminal.

16. The terminal according to claim 9, wherein,

the control region comprises one or more regions located on a left side and/or right side of the touch screen of the terminal.
