Abstract

A method and an electronic apparatus for scrolling frame content and a recording medium using the same, adapted to an electronic apparatus having a touch screen, are provided. In the method, a page including at least one content scrollable frame is displayed on the touch screen. Next, a scrolling operation performed on a content scrollable frame of the at least one content scrollable frame on the touch screen is detected. Then, whether the content scrollable frame is entirely shown or partially shown on the touch screen is determined. Finally, the content in the content scrollable frame or the page and the content scrollable frame are scrolled according to the scrolling operation based on the determination.

Claims

1. A method for scrolling frame content, adapted to an electronic apparatus having a touch screen, the method comprising:

displaying a page comprising at least one content scrollable frame on the touch screen;

detecting a scrolling operation performed on a content scrollable frame of the at least one content scrollable frame on the touch screen;

determining, in response to the scrolling operation performed on the content scrollable frame being detected, whether the content scrollable frame is entirely shown or partially shown on the touch screen;

scrolling a content in the content scrollable frame according to the scrolling operation if the content scrollable frame is determined to be entirely shown on the touch screen; and

scrolling the page and the content scrollable frame according to the scrolling operation if the content scrollable frame is determined to be partially shown on the touch screen.

2. The method for scrolling frame content according to claim 1, further comprising:

determining whether the page is static or not; and

scrolling the content in the content scrollable frame according to the scrolling operation if the page is determined to be static and the content scrollable frame is determined to be entirely shown on the touch screen.

3. The method for scrolling frame content according to claim 2, further comprising:

determining whether the content scrollable frame is entirely shown or partially shown on the touch screen if the page is determined to be static.

4. The method for scrolling frame content according to claim 2, further comprising:

determining whether the page is static or not if the content scrollable frame is determined to be entirely shown on the touch screen.

5. The method for scrolling frame content according to claim 2, further comprising:

scrolling the page and the content scrollable frame according to the scrolling operation if the page is determined to be not static.

6. An electronic apparatus for scrolling frame content, comprising:

a touch screen;

a storage unit, storing a plurality of modules; and

one or more processing units, coupled to the touch screen and the storage unit, executing the modules stored in the storage unit to cause the electronic apparatus to;

display a page comprising at least one content scrollable frame on the touch screen;

detect a scrolling operation performed on a content scrollable frame of the at least one content scrollable frame;

determine, in response to the scrolling operation performed on the content scrollable frame being detected, whether the content scrollable frame is entirely shown or partially shown on the touch screen;

scroll a content in the content scrollable frame according to the scrolling operation if the content scrollable frame is determined to be entirely shown on the touch screen; and

scroll the page and the content scrollable frame according to the scrolling operation if the content scrollable frame is determined to be partially shown on the touch screen.

7. The electronic apparatus for scrolling frame content according to claim 6, wherein the one or more processing units executing the modules stored in the storage unit to cause the electronic apparatus to:

scroll the content in the content scrollable frame without scrolling the page and the content scrollable frame according to the scrolling operation.

8. The electronic apparatus for scrolling frame content according to claim 6, wherein the one or more processing units executing the modules stored in the storage unit to cause the electronic apparatus to:

scroll the page and the content scrollable frame according to the scrolling operation without scrolling the content in the content scrollable frame.

9. The electronic apparatus for scrolling frame content according to claim 6, wherein the one or more processing units executing the modules stored in the storage unit to cause the electronic apparatus to:

determine whether the page is static or not, and scroll the content in the content scrollable frame according to the scrolling operation if the page is determined as static and the content scrollable frame is determined to be entirely shown on the touch screen.

10. The electronic apparatus for scrolling frame content according to claim 9, wherein the one or more processing units executing the modules stored in the storage unit to cause the electronic apparatus to:

determine whether the page is static or not after the scrolling operation performed on the content scrollable frame on the touch screen is detected.

11. The electronic apparatus for scrolling frame content according to claim 9, wherein the one or more processing units executing the modules stored in the storage unit to cause the electronic apparatus to:

scroll the content in the content scrollable frame without scrolling the page and the content scrollable frame according to the scrolling operation.

12. The electronic apparatus for scrolling frame content according to claim 9, wherein the one or more processing units executing the modules stored in the storage unit to cause the electronic apparatus to:

determine whether the content scrollable frame is entirely shown or partially shown on the touch screen if the page is determined to be static.

13. The electronic apparatus for scrolling frame content according to claim 9, wherein the one or more processing units executing the modules stored in the storage unit to cause the electronic apparatus to:

determine whether the page is static or not if the content scrollable frame is determined to be entirely shown on the touch screen.

14. The electronic apparatus for scrolling frame content according to claim 9, wherein the one or more processing units executing the modules stored in the storage unit to cause the electronic apparatus to:

scroll the page and the content scrollable frame according to the scrolling operation if the page is determined to be not static.

15. The electronic apparatus for scrolling frame content according to claim 14, wherein the one or more processing units executing the modules stored in the storage unit to cause the electronic apparatus to:

scroll the page and the content scrollable frame according to the scrolling operation without scrolling the content in the content scrollable frame.

16. A non-transitory recording medium, adapted to store a computer program, wherein the computer program is loaded to an electronic apparatus to execute following steps:

displaying a page comprising at least one content scrollable frame on a touch screen of the electronic apparatus;

detecting a scrolling operation performed on a content scrollable frame of the at least one content scrollable frame on the touch screen;

determining, in response to the scrolling operation performed on the content scrollable frame being detected, whether the content scrollable frame is entirely shown or partially shown on the touch screen;

scrolling a content in the content scrollable frame according to the scrolling operation if the content scrollable frame is determined to be entirely shown on the touch screen; and

scrolling the page and the content scrollable frame according to the scrolling operation if the content scrollable frame is determined to be partially shown on the touch screen.
