Embodiment 2

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for displaying directions. The method embodiment is applied to a terminal. Referring to FIG. 2 , the method flow includes:

In step 201, the terminal runs a compass application to determine the pointing direction of the terminal, and displays the pointing direction of the terminal on the display page.

After the compass application is started, the compass application will perform the process of determining the direction, and at this time, the pointing direction of the terminal is displayed on the display page of the terminal screen.

In step 202, it is monitored whether a preset trigger event is triggered.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the operation is performed after the compass application is started as an example for description. Correspondingly, after starting the compass application, it starts to monitor whether the preset trigger event is triggered, and displays the star map while displaying the pointing direction of the terminal in the compass application.

And in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset trigger event can be triggered in the following ways:

When it is detected that the terminal moves in a preset direction, and the posture of the terminal satisfies the preset condition after the movement stops, it is determined to trigger a preset trigger event.

Among them, the preset condition is that the screen is rotated to the posture of the screen facing the ground. Since the screen cannot accurately face the ground in a horizontal posture during actual use, it may be that the user holds the terminal and faces the user's face at a certain angle. Although the screen of the terminal is facing downward, it is not completely horizontal. Therefore, a certain threshold range needs to be set to meet the above preset conditions. This process needs to be set by the angle between a certain coordinate axis in the three-dimensional coordinate system in the terminal and the horizontal plane. trigger condition.

Correspondingly, the preset condition is that the angle between the designated coordinate axis of the terminal in the three-dimensional coordinate system and the horizontal plane is within the preset angle range.

In general, a user uses the terminal by holding the terminal and placing the terminal in a position parallel to the chest. At this time, a sensor in the terminal can detect that the terminal is in a stationary state. After the user starts the compass application, he lifts the terminal above his head and rotates the screen of the terminal so that the screen faces the ground, so as to trigger a trigger event for displaying the starry sky map on the display page of the pointing direction of the terminal on the screen of the terminal. Wherein, after the user performs the above motion on the terminal, the terminal is located above the user's head, and the user needs to look up at the terminal screen at this time, which can simulate the process of the user looking up to observe the starry sky.

When the terminal is moved by the user, the sensor in the terminal can detect the following: the terminal moves in the specified direction, that is, it detects that the movement occurs on the specified coordinate axis in the three-dimensional coordinate system of the terminal, and the movement process is from low to low. Move to high places. Wherein, when the posture of the terminal during the movement is that the user holds the terminal vertically, the specified coordinate axis can be the z-axis; when the posture of the terminal during the movement is that the user holds the terminal horizontally, the specified coordinate axis can be the x-axis.

After that, it is detected that the terminal stops moving in the specified direction and maintains a static state; finally, it is detected that the movement on the same designated coordinate axis in the three-dimensional coordinate system of the terminal stops during the above motion process, and the terminal is in a static state. Wherein, when the posture of the terminal after the exercise is that the user holds the terminal vertically, the specified coordinate axis can be the z-axis; when the posture of the terminal during the exercise is that the user holds the terminal horizontally, the specified coordinate axis can be the x-axis.

Finally, it is detected that the angle between the specified coordinate axis and the horizontal plane of the terminal in the three-dimensional coordinate system is within the preset angle range, that is, the current posture of the terminal is that the terminal screen faces the ground and the angle between the terminal and the horizontal plane is the preset angle range. The designated coordinate axis can be the y-axis when the terminal posture after the movement is that the user holds the terminal vertically; during the movement, when the terminal posture is the user holding the terminal horizontally, the designated coordinate axis can be the x-axis.

Optionally, for the preset trigger event triggering method, the user can also manually trigger through a preset operation, for example: triggering through a preset operation gesture; triggering through a preset button or icon being pressed.

In step 203, if it is detected that a preset trigger event is triggered, a starry sky map corresponding to the location of the terminal at the current time is acquired.

In this step, a starry sky map that can be observed at the current time at the location of the terminal needs to be obtained, wherein the starry sky map is an arc-shaped picture.

The process in step 203 can be implemented by the following steps:

In step 2031, the current time is obtained, and the location information of the terminal is obtained.

The location information is generally longitude and latitude information, which can be obtained by calling the positioning module. The positioning module may perform positioning in the manner of GPS (Global Positioning System, global positioning system), may also perform positioning in the manner of GPS-assisted base station, or may perform positioning in the manner of base station positioning.

In step 2032, in the preset corresponding relationship between the time, the location information and the starry sky map, the starry sky map corresponding to the location of the terminal at the current time is obtained according to the current time and the location information of the terminal.

Among them, the preset time, the corresponding relationship between the location information and the starry sky map can be pre-stored in the terminal; in addition, due to the preset time, the corresponding relationship between the location information and the starry sky map has a relatively large amount of data, so it can be performed by the server. After the terminal obtains the current time and location information, it sends these two parameters to the server, so that the server can query according to these two parameters and return the queried star map to the terminal.

In step 204, a to-be-displayed area corresponding to the pointing direction of the terminal is selected in the starry sky map.

The area corresponding to each direction is pre-divided in the starry sky map, so that after the terminal determines the pointing direction of the terminal, the screen of the terminal displays the area in the starry sky map corresponding to the pointing direction of the terminal. Among them, since the posture of the terminal is not limited at this time, it can be held horizontally or vertically by the user, and the corresponding pointing direction of the terminal can belong to any one of the four directions in the terminal. be limited. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the pointing direction of the terminal is acquired by a compass application.

Step 204 can be implemented in the following ways:

Among the regions corresponding to the preset directions in the starry sky map, the same region as the pointing direction of the terminal is selected as the to-be-displayed region corresponding to the pointing direction of the terminal.

Optionally, when the user holds the terminal and looks up at the starry sky map displayed on the screen of the terminal, the direction can also be converted. At this time, the terminal will detect that the pointing direction of the terminal has changed, and the corresponding starry sky map displayed on the screen of the terminal will also follow. Updates when the pointing direction of the terminal changes. Therefore, step 203 can also be implemented in the following ways:

The step of selecting the area to be displayed in the starry sky map according to the direction pointed by the terminal is periodically performed according to the preset time interval.

Among them, the preset time interval can be set as needed, if the set time interval period is very short, and

As shown in Figure 3, the figure shows a schematic diagram of the starry sky map displayed on the terminal screen, which is the starry sky map displayed on the terminal screen when the user faces east; as shown in Figure 4, the figure shows the display on the terminal screen Another schematic diagram of the starry sky map, when the user turns to the starry sky map displayed on the terminal screen facing northeast, at this time, the starry sky map displayed on the terminal screen will re-select the to-be-displayed area corresponding to the northeast direction in the starry sky map for display.

Further, the regions corresponding to each direction have been divided in advance in the starry sky map, which can be eight directions: east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest, each direction corresponds to an area in the starry sky map; The center of the star map is the origin, and each angle corresponds to one direction, that is, 360 directions. Therefore, the direction angle is obtained in the compass application, and the direction angle is directly used to determine the corresponding direction in the star map, and then the corresponding direction in the star map is obtained. The area corresponding to the direction does not need to be further determined by the direction angle, and then select the corresponding area to be displayed in the starry sky map.

Wherein, the content displayed in different areas may include overlapping parts, so that the user can more accurately change the starry sky map displayed on the screen in a coherent manner when rotating the terminal or turning around.

In step 205, the area to be displayed is displayed on the display page.

Wherein, step 205 can be implemented through the following steps 2051-2053:

In step 2051, it is determined whether the current time at the location of the terminal is a specified time period.

Wherein, the specified time period may be 6:00-18:00, that is, the daytime period in which the terminal is located.

In step 2052, if the current time at the location of the terminal belongs to the specified time period, the area to be displayed and the weather and air information corresponding to the location of the terminal are displayed on the display page;

During the day when the terminal is located, the compass application can display the sky map, and at the same time display the weather and air information of the terminal's location, such as weather forecast, air quality, etc.

In step 2053, if the current time at the location of the terminal does not belong to the specified time period, the area to be displayed is displayed on the display page.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining the pointing direction of the terminal, when a preset trigger event is triggered, a starry sky map of the current location of the terminal is acquired, as auxiliary display content for displaying the pointing direction of the terminal, so as to assist the user to observe the direction and position , which improves the human-computer interaction.
