Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide a data processing method and an electronic device. The method may be implemented on an electronic device having a touchscreen, and may specifically include: displaying a graphical user interface of a first application on the touchscreen, where the graphical user interface includes a text; detecting, by the electronic device, a touch event that a user touches and holds a fingerprint button; enabling, by the electronic device, a fast copying function in response to the event; detecting, by the electronic device, a slide gesture for some data in the text; and in response to the slide gesture, storing, in a clipboard by the electronic device, the some data corresponding to the slide gesture. According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application, efficiency of the electronic device is improved, user operations are reduced, and user experience is improved.

Claims

1-25. -25. (canceled)

26. An electronic device, comprising:

a touchscreen;

a processor coupled to the touchscreen; and

a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to be configured to;

copy first data in a first application;

copy second data in a second application;

copy third data in a third application;

display a graphical user interface of the first application on the touchscreen, wherein the graphical user interface of the first application comprises a first input box;

detect a first touch gesture on the first input box;

display a first list on the touchscreen in response to the first touch gesture, wherein the first list comprises the first data and the third data, but not the second data;

display a graphical user interface of the second application, wherein the graphical user interface of the second application comprises a second input box;

detect a second touch gesture on the second input box;

display a second list on the touchscreen in response to the second touch gesture, wherein the second list comprises the second data and the third data, but not the first data;

display a graphical user interface of the third application, wherein the graphical user interface of the third application comprises a third input box;

detect a third touch gesture on the third input box; and

display a third list on the touchscreen in response to the third touch gesture,

wherein the third list comprises the third data, but not the first data or the second data.

27. The electronic device of claim 26, wherein the instructions further cause the electronic device to:

detect a tap gesture on the first data of the first list;

store the first data in a clipboard; and

display the first data in the first input box.

28. The electronic device of claim 27, wherein the instructions further cause the electronic device to erase the first data from the clipboard after displaying the first data in the first input box.

29. The electronic device of claim 26, wherein the instructions further cause the electronic device to display an identifier of the first application corresponding to the first data while displaying the first data in the first list.

30. The electronic device of claim 29, wherein the identifier of the first application is an icon of the first application or a name of the first application.

31. The electronic device of claim 26, wherein copying the first data and the second data further comprises copying to a private queue of a clipboard, and wherein copying the third data further comprises copying to a public queue of the clipboard.

32. A data processing method, comprising:

copying first data in a first application;

copying second data in a second application;

copying third data in a third application;

displaying a graphical user interface of the first application on a touchscreen, wherein the graphical user interface of the first application comprises a first input box;

detecting a first touch gesture on the first input box;

displaying a first list on the touchscreen in response to the first touch gesture, wherein the first list comprises the first data and the third data, but not the second data;

displaying a graphical user interface of the second application, wherein the graphical user interface of the second application comprises a second input box;

detecting a second touch gesture on the second input box;

displaying a second list on the touchscreen in response to the second touch gesture, wherein the second list comprises the second data and the third data, but not the first data;

displaying a graphical user interface of the third application, wherein the graphical user interface of the third application comprises a third input box;

detecting a third touch gesture on the third input box;

displaying a third list on the touchscreen in response to the third touch gesture, wherein the third list comprises the third data, but not the first data or the second data.

33. The data processing method of claim 32, further comprising:

detecting a tap gesture on the first data of the first list;

storing the first data in a clipboard; and

displaying the first data in the first input box.

34. The data processing method of claim 33, further comprising erasing the first data from the clipboard after displaying the first data in the first input box.

35. The data processing method of claim 32, further comprising displaying an identifier of the first application corresponding to the first data while displaying the first data in the first list.

36. The data processing method of claim 35, wherein the identifier of the first application is an icon of the first application or a name of the first application.

37. The data processing method of claim 32, wherein copying the first data and the second data further comprises copying to a private queue of a clipboard, wherein copying the third data further comprises copying to a public queue of the clipboard.

38. A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a processor, cause an electronic device to:

copy first data in a first application;

copy second data in a second application;

copy third data in a third application;

display a graphical user interface of the first application on a touchscreen, wherein the graphical user interface of the first application comprises a first input box;

detect a first touch gesture on the first input box;

display a first list on the touchscreen in response to the first touch gesture, wherein the first list comprises the first data and the third data, but not the second data;

display a graphical user interface of the second application, wherein the graphical user interface of the second application comprises a second input box;

detect a second touch gesture on the second input box;

display a second list on the touchscreen in response to the second touch gesture, wherein the second list comprises the second data and the third data, but not the first data;

display a graphical user interface of the third application, wherein the graphical user interface of the third application comprises a third input box;

detect a third touch gesture on the third input box;

display a third list on the touchscreen in response to the third touch gesture, wherein the third list comprises the third data, but not the first data or the second data.

39. The computer program product of claim 38, wherein the instructions further cause the electronic device to:
