first embodiment

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for setting a timing time, which is applied to a mobile terminal. As shown in Figure 1, the method for setting the timing time includes:

Step 101, displaying a graphical virtual timer.

Wherein, the virtual timer includes: a time display area uniformly set with multiple times and a timing area for setting the timing time. The timing area is provided with a time start point mark and a time end point mark, and the time start point mark and the time end point mark can slide on the timing area.

Wherein, in the embodiment of the present invention, 24 hours are evenly distributed on the time display area, and corresponding signs are provided for easy identification. The time display area is a kind of carrier of time. In order to make the image look more concise and elegant, simple geometric figures can be selected, such as a circular structure. As shown in Figure 2, the outer circle is the time display area 201, and the inner circle The ring structure is a timing area 202 on which a time start point mark 203 and a time end point mark 204 are set. Or a bar structure, as shown in Figure 3, the time axis below is a time display area 301, the bar structure above is a timing area 302, and a time start point mark 303 and a time end point mark 304 are provided on the time point area 302 . For the design of the timing area, in order to facilitate the correspondence with the time on the time display area, generally the timing area is adapted to the shape of the time display area, for example, a circular structure concentric with the time display area of the circular structure (as shown in Figure 2 shown), or a bar structure parallel to the time display area of the bar structure (as shown in Figure 3). Of course, specific conditions can also be designed according to actual needs.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the virtual timer in the mobile terminal is displayed in graphic form, which is convenient for the user to view, select and set the time.

Step 102, receiving a drag operation on the mark of the time start point or the mark of the time end point.

In the embodiment of the present invention, by dragging (usually clockwise) the time start point mark and the time end point mark on the timing area, the start time and end time of the timing time can be set. Wherein, the system can determine the time point corresponding to the display area according to the positions of the time start point mark and the time end point mark in the timing area.

In the process of setting the timing time, you can only adjust the mark of the end point of the time, or only the mark of the start point of time, or both the mark of the end point of time and the mark of the start point of time, which can be selected according to actual needs.

Step 103, according to the drag operation, determine the time start point and the time end point of the timing time for timing, and display the time length between the time start point mark and the time end point mark in the timing area in graphic form.

In the embodiment of the present invention, according to the positions of the time start point mark and the time end point mark on the timing area, the start time and the end time of the timed time set by the user are determined, and the length of the timed time is displayed through the graphic image during the setting process. , as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, the part filled with oblique lines, so that the user can understand the length of the timing time, and it is convenient for the user to set and view the timing time.

Further, when dragging the time start point or the time end point, detect the time length between the time start point and the time end point, when the time length between the time start point and the time end point reaches or exceeds the preset time length , when controlling the movement of the time start point mark or the time end point mark, the time length between the time start point and the time end point is kept at a preset time length.

Due to the needs of technology or strategy in some modes, there will be restrictions on the timing duration, for example: the maximum timing duration is 18 hours. In this way, when the timing duration set once exceeds the maximum timing duration, there will be a correlation between the start time and the end time, that is, the timing duration set by the user must be kept within the maximum duration. condition, the timing time cannot be set successfully, so the user needs to repeatedly adjust the timing time in the two setting items, which must not only meet the restriction requirements, but also meet their own needs. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the time length between the time start point and the time end point reaches or exceeds the preset time length, if what is currently being dragged is the time end point mark, the movement of the time start point mark is automatically controlled. , on the contrary, it automatically controls the movement of the time end point mark, so that the time length between the time start point and the time end point remains the preset time length, avoiding the user from resetting the two time points, and the operation is simpler and more convenient.

Furthermore, when the time length between the time start point and the time end point reaches or exceeds the preset time length, a reminder message reminding the user that the time length of the timing time exceeds the preset time length can also be generated, so that the user can know in time.

Wherein, the manner of generating the reminder information specifically includes but is not limited to: controlling the color change of the time start mark and the time end mark, or generating a text reminder message. The two reminding methods described here can be used at the same time, and can also be used separately, and the specific situation can be set according to actual needs. If the logo color change mode is used to remind, when the time length of the timing time is equal to or less than the preset time length, the control time start point logo and time end point logo restore the previous color.

Further, in order to facilitate the user to view the start time and end time of the specific timing time, when setting the timing time, the time corresponding to the time start point identifier and the time end point identifier is displayed. As shown in Figure 4, around the virtual timer, it is the timing interface displayed on the display screen of the mobile terminal, and the start time and end time of the timing time are displayed below the virtual timer; or the corresponding time starting point logo and time The location of the end point mark is shown in Figure 5, and the specific situation can be designed according to actual needs.

To sum up, the method for setting the timing provided by the embodiment of the present invention visualizes the concept of time through a graphical virtual timer, making it easier for the user to grasp the length of time. In addition, when there is a correlation between the start time and the end time of the timing time, the user can avoid readjustment of the two times, and the operation is simple and convenient.
