Abstract

The present invention relates to a smart equipment and the display control method of the soft-operation interface thereof, wherein the display controlling method of the soft-operation interface of the smart equipment comprising: sensing the action changing information of the smart equipment by the gravity sensor; according to the action changing information, adjusting the soft-operation interface arrangement of the smart equipment on its display screen. By using the present invention, it is convenient for users to carry out one-hand operation on the smart equipment, and the convenience for the users is improved.

Claims

1. A display control method of a soft-operation interface of a smart equipment, comprising the following steps:

sensing the action changing information of the smart equipment by the gravity sensor;

according to the action changing information, adjusting the soft-operation interface arrangement of the smart equipment on its display screen.

2. The display control method of claim 1, wherein the action changing information includes:

the current tilt angle variation of the smart equipment in the current state relative to that in a preset reference state.

3. The display control method of claim 2, wherein adjusting the soft-operation interface arrangement of the smart equipment on its display screen according to the action changing information includes:

judging whether the current tilt angle variation satisfies the preset triggering condition of the arrangement adjusting;

and if yes, adjusting the soft-operation interface arrangement on the display screen from the first display state to the second display state corresponding to the current tilt angle variation, otherwise, maintaining the soft-operation interface arrangement on the display screen in the first display state.

4. The display control method of claim 3, further comprising:

establishing and storing the mapping relation between the variation of the smart equipment and the display state of the arrangement;

setting the triggering condition of the arrangement adjusting according to the mapping relation.

5. The display control method of the soft-operation interface of the smart equipment according to any one of claims 1-4, wherein the soft-operation interface includes the soft dialing keyboard or the soft input keyboard.

6. The display control method of claim 5, wherein adjusting the soft-operation interface arrangement on the display screen from the first display state to the second display state corresponding to the current tilt angle variation comprising:

taking the mirror or transposition adjustment on the position of at least part of the widgets of the soft-operation interface on the display screen;

and/or,

zooming out the soft-operation interface and arranging it close to one side of the smart equipment.

7. The display control method of claim 1, wherein:

before sensing the action changing information of the smart equipment by the gravity sensor, further comprising;

detecting whether there is a first instruction for setting the current display mode of the soft-operation interface as the one-hand operation mode;

the said sensing the action changing information of the smart equipment by the gravity sensor includes;

sensing, when the first instruction exists, the action changing information of the smart equipment by the gravity sensor.

8. The display control method of claim 1, further comprising:

detecting whether there is a second instruction for setting the current display mode of the soft-operation interface as the normal operation mode; and

if yes, adjusting the current arrangement of the soft-operation interface to the default display state.

9. The display control method of claim 1, wherein the smart equipment is the handheld smart equipment.

10. An smart equipment, comprising:

a gravity sensor, for sensing the action changing information of the smart equipment;

an arrangement adjusting module, connecting with the gravity sensor, for adjusting the soft-operation interface arrangement of the smart equipment on its display screen according to the action changing information.

11. The smart equipment of claim 10, wherein the action changing information includes the current tilt angle variation of the smart equipment in the current state relative to that in a preset reference state.

12. The smart equipment of claim 11, wherein the arrangement adjusting module includes:

an adjustment judging unit, for judging whether the current tilt angle variation satisfies the preset triggering condition of the arrangement adjusting;

an arrangement adjusting unit, connecting with the adjustment judging unit, for adjusting the soft-operation interface arrangement on the display screen from the first display state to the second display state corresponding to the current tilt angle variation if the current tilt angle variation satisfies the preset triggering condition of the arrangement adjusting, otherwise, for maintaining the soft-operation interface arrangement on the display screen in the first display state.

13. The smart equipment of claim 12, further comprising:

a storage module, for establishing and storing the mapping relation between the variation of the smart equipment and the display state of arrangement;
