Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for displaying a document, which pertain to the field of computer technology. The method includes: in a state where a target document is displayed on a screen, when it is detected that the screen is subjected to displacement, determining a direction of the displacement; and translating the target document on the screen according to the direction of the displacement.

Claims

1. A terminal device, comprising:

a screen;

a processor-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions for displaying a document; and

a processor in communication with the storage medium, wherein

when displaying a target document on the screen, the processor executes the set of instructions to, when a translation function of the terminal device is enabled,

detect a displacement of the terminal device;

determine a direction of the displacement; and

translate the target document on the screen according to the direction of the displacement.

2. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the processor further executes the set of instructions to determine a direction component of the displacement along a plane where the screen is located as a first direction,

wherein to translate the target document on the screen the processor further executes the set of instructions to translate the target document on the screen in a direction opposite to the first direction to generate a visual effect that the target document remains stationary and the user observes the target document through a window of the screen size by moving the window over the target document.

3. The terminal device according to claim 2, where the processor further executes the set of instructions to:

cease translating the target document when the processor detects that a boundary of the target document in the first direction coincides with a boundary of the screen in the first direction.

4. The terminal device according to claim 2, wherein the processor further executes the set of instructions to:

determine a distance component of the displacement along the first direction as a first distance; and

translate the target document on the screen for a distance according to the first distance.

5. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the processor further executes the set of instructions to, when a document zooming function of the terminal device is enabled,

determine a direction component of the displacement perpendicular to the screen as a second direction;

and

zoom the displayed target document according to the second direction.

6. The terminal device according to claim 5, wherein the processor further executes the set of instructions to:

determine a distance component of the displacement along the second direction as a second distance; and

to zoom the displayed target document according to the second direction the processor further executes the set of instructions to;

determine a zooming factor corresponding to the second direction and the second distance; and

zoom the displayed target document according to the determined zooming factor.

7. The terminal device according to claim 5, wherein to zoom the displayed target document according to the second direction the processor further executes the set of instructions to:

zoom in the target document when the second direction is a forward direction of the screen; and

zoom out the target document when the second direction is a backward direction of the screen.

8. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the processor further executes the set of instructions to:

detect that a size of the target document displayed on the screen exceeds a size of the screen; and

enable a sensor of the terminal device to detect the displacement of the screen.

9. A method for displaying a document, comprising:

providing a terminal device to a user to display a target document on a screen thereof;

when a translation function of the terminal device is enabled;

detecting, by the terminal device, a displacement of the terminal device;

determining, by the terminal device, a direction of the displacement; and

translating, by the terminal device, the target document on the screen according to the direction of the displacement.

10. The method according to claim 9, further comprising determining, by the terminal device, a direction component of the displacement along a plane where the screen is located as a first direction,

wherein the translating of the target document on the screen comprises translating the target document on the screen in a direction opposite to the first direction to generate a visual effect that the target document remains stationary and the user observes the target document through a window of the screen size by moving the window over the target document.

11. The method according to claim 10, further comprising:

when the terminal device detects that a boundary of the target document in the first direction coincides with a boundary of the screen in the first direction, ceasing, by the terminal device, translating the target document.

12. The method according to claim 10, further comprising:

determining, by the terminal device, a distance component of the displacement along the first direction as a first distance; and

translating, by the terminal device, the target document on the screen for a distance according to the first distance.

13. The method according to claim 9, further comprising, when a document zooming function of the terminal device is enabled,

determining, by the terminal device, a direction component of the displacement perpendicular to the screen as a second direction;

and

zooming, by the terminal device, the displayed target document according to the second direction.

14. The method according to claim 13, further comprising:

determining, by the terminal device, a distance component of the displacement along the second direction as a second distance; and

the zooming of the displayed target document according to the second direction comprises;

determining, by the terminal device, a zooming factor corresponding to the second direction and the second distance; and

zooming, by the terminal device, the displayed target document according to the determined zooming factor.

15. The method according to claim 13, wherein the zooming of the displayed target document according to the second direction comprises:

zooming in the target document when the second direction is a forward direction of the screen; and

zooming out the target document when the second direction is a backward direction of the screen.

16. The method according to claim 9, further comprising:

detecting, by the terminal device, that a size of the target document displayed on the screen exceeds a size of the screen; and

enabling, by the terminal device, a sensor of the terminal device to detect the displacement of the screen.

17. A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium, comprising a set of instructions for displaying a document, wherein when executed by a processor, the set of instructions directs the processor to perform acts of:

displaying a target document on a screen of a terminal device;

when a translation function of the terminal device is enabled;

detecting a displacement of the terminal device;

determining a direction component of the displacement along a plane where the screen is located as a first direction; and

translating the target document on the screen in a direction opposite to the first direction to generate a visual effect that the target document remains stationary and the user observes the target document through a window of the screen size by moving the window over the target document.

18. The storage medium according to claim 17, wherein the set of instructions further directs the processor to perform acts of:

determining a distance component of the displacement along the first direction as a first distance; and

translating the target document on the screen for a distance according to the first distance.

19. The storage medium according to claim 17, wherein the set of instructions further directs the processor to perform acts of, when a document zooming function of the terminal device is enabled,
