Description

Method for displaying character strings and terminal device

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of text drawing processing, and in particular to a method for displaying a character string applied to a terminal device and the terminal device.

Background Art

Multiple control areas will be displayed on the display screen of the terminal device. Due to the needs of interface drawing and text editing, the size of the control area will be set in advance, so that the length of the character string output in the control area is less than or equal to the length of the control area, and the terminal device can make each of the control areas transparent, so that each of the control areas is invisible to the user.

As shown in FIG1 , the display screen of a terminal device is divided into multiple control areas 100. Taking any control area 100 as an example, an icon and a string corresponding to the icon are provided in the control area 100. The icon can receive a touch event input by the user, so that the icon can perform a corresponding functional response based on the touch event input by the user, for example, launching the application corresponding to the icon. The string corresponding to the icon can be the name corresponding to the icon. As shown in FIG1 , the user can obtain the icon displayed in the current control area through the string displayed in the control area 100 to launch the Tencent News application. Taking control area 101 as an example, an icon and a string corresponding to the icon, PlayMemories Mobile, are provided in the control area 101. PlayMemoriesMobile is a professional image transmission application software for smartphones and/or tablets. Since displaying the string PlayMemories Mobile in one line would exceed the length of the control area 101, the string displayed in the control area 101 is displayed in separate lines. Please see FIG1 for the display effect.

It can be seen that, according to the prior art, since character strings longer than the length of the control area will be displayed in separate lines, the character strings displayed in separate lines will reduce the user's reading efficiency and reduce the efficiency of the user's operation of the terminal device.

Summary of the Invention

The embodiments of the present invention provide a method for displaying a character string and a terminal device, which can effectively reduce the number of times a character string displayed on a display screen of a terminal device is truncated, thereby improving the efficiency of a user in reading the character string.

A first aspect of an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for displaying a character string, comprising:

Step A0: Detect whether the sub-area displayed by the terminal device meets the preset conditions. If so, execute step B.

Specifically, the terminal device can pre-set a preset coordinate range, and each preset coordinate range corresponds to each control area, so that the control area is displayed within the preset coordinate range corresponding to the control area. It can be seen that the terminal device shown in this embodiment sets the display position and display range of the control area on the display screen through the preset coordinate range.

Specifically, the control area provided in this embodiment includes a character string for displaying on a display screen of a terminal device.

Optionally, the control area may include icons and/or virtual keys for responding to operation events input by the user.

The display screen of the terminal device shown in this embodiment is divided into at least one sub-area along the horizontal direction of the terminal device, and at least one control area is set in each sub-area.

In the same sub-area, a first preset interval is set between any two adjacent control areas.

The preset condition described in this embodiment is that the sub-area includes at least one target control area.

The length of the character string contained in the target control area is greater than the length of the target control area.

Specifically, if the terminal device determines that the length of the character string in any control area of the multiple control areas included in the sub-area is less than or equal to the length of the control area, the terminal device generates control information and continues to execute step B.

Or, before executing step B, the terminal device executes step A1;

Step A1: Receive an operation input by a user for generating the control information.

Specifically, when the user resets the language of the terminal device, this embodiment takes the example of the user setting the language of the terminal device from Chinese to English, then the terminal device can display an operation interface through the display screen, and the operation interface can indicate whether the user needs to set the control area to form the reset control area. If the user notifies the terminal device through the operation interface that the control area needs to be set to form the reset control area, then the terminal device can generate the control information according to the user's operation, and the control information is used to trigger the terminal device to execute step B.

Step B: Receive control information.

The control information described in this embodiment is used to instruct the terminal device to process the control area to form a reset control area that meets the first target condition, and the first target condition is that any two adjacent reset control areas along the horizontal direction of the display screen among the at least two reset control areas are connected to each other, that is, the first interval is no longer set between the two adjacent reset control areas.

Step C: displaying the reset control area on a display screen.

Specifically, after receiving the control information, the terminal device may display the at least two reset control areas on the display screen according to the control information.

Specifically, the target sub-region is a sub-region that meets the preset condition.

The reset control area has a length that is a reset length.

Specifically, the multiple control areas included in the target sub-area include at least one target control area.

The specific process of resetting the target sub-area is as follows:

Obtaining a length L of the target sub-area along a horizontal direction of the terminal device;

Obtain the number N of control areas included in the target sub-area;

The reset length of each reset control area is determined to be L/N.

In this embodiment, the length of the target sub-region is not changed, so that the length of the target sub-region after the reset is the same as the length before the reset.

The terminal device acquires a length L of the target sub-area along a horizontal direction of the terminal device;

Obtain the number N of control areas included in the target sub-area;

The reset length of each reset control area is determined to be L/N.

After resetting the target sub-area, two conditions are met:

The first condition: before the target sub-area is reset, the first preset interval is set between any two adjacent control areas within the target sub-area; after the target sub-area is reset, the first preset interval is no longer set between any two adjacent reset control areas within the target sub-area, that is, any two adjacent reset control areas within the target sub-area are against each other, and in terms of display effect, the boundary lines of any two adjacent reset control areas within the target sub-area coincide with each other.

The second condition: the reset control areas located on both sides of the target sub-area are the reset control area and the reset control area, and a second preset interval is set between the reset control area and the edge of the display screen of the terminal device. A second preset interval is set between the reset control area and the edge of the display screen of the terminal device. This embodiment does not limit the size of the second preset interval.

Step D: Displaying a character string in the reset control area.

In this embodiment, since the control area is processed to form the reset space area, and the length of the reset control area is greater than the length of the control area along the horizontal direction of the display screen, the length of the character string that can be displayed in the reset control area is greater than the length of the character string that can be displayed in the control area. In this embodiment, the display of the character string through the reset control area can effectively reduce the number of lines of the character string displayed in the control area, thereby improving the user's efficiency in reading the character string displayed in the reset control area.

In conjunction with the first aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, in a first implementation manner of the first aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, step D includes:

Step D11: Determine a first target reset control area.

In this embodiment, a second target reset control area is provided on both sides of the first target reset control area, and the length of the first character string included in the first target reset control area is greater than the length of the first target reset control area, and the length of the second character string included in the second target reset control area is greater than the length of the second target reset control area.

Step D12: performing target processing on the first character string.

The target processing is to reduce the size of any character of the first character string included in the first target reset control area, so that any character of the first character string after the reduction processing is greater than or equal to a first preset value.

This embodiment does not limit the size of the first preset value, as long as the characters greater than or equal to the first preset value can be clearly seen by the user.

Step D13: Display the first character string after target processing in the first target reset control area in a display mode of at least one line of character strings.

Through step D13 shown in this embodiment, any one line of character strings in the at least one line of character strings of the first character string satisfies the second target condition.

The second target condition is that the length of any one line of character strings in the at least one line of character strings of the first character string after the target processing is less than or equal to the reset length of the first target reset control area, and the interval between any one line of character strings in the at least one line of character strings of the first character string and the second character string is greater than or equal to a second preset value.

It can be seen from the method shown in this embodiment that when a second target reset control area is provided on both sides of the first target reset control area, and the length of the first character string included in the first target reset control area is greater than the length of the first target reset control area, and the length of the second character string included in the second target reset control area is greater than the length of the second target reset control area, this embodiment can perform target processing on the first character string, so that any one line of the at least one line of character strings of the first character string satisfies the second target condition.

Optionally, if the length of the first character string after the target processing is less than or equal to the length of the reset control area, the first character string after the target processing is displayed in the center of the reset control area.

Optionally, if the length of the first character string after the target processing is greater than the length of the reset control area, the first character string after the target processing is displayed in the reset control area in separate lines.

Optionally, if the terminal device determines that the characters in the reset control area cannot be displayed in a single line in the reset control area even if they are reduced in size, the terminal device may not reduce the characters in the reset control area, but directly display them in separate lines.

By adopting the method shown in this embodiment, the length of the control area shown in the prior art is expanded, so that the reset control area shown in this embodiment can display a longer character string, and when the reset control areas on the left and right sides of the reset control area meet the first condition, the character string in the reset control area can be reduced. Therefore, compared with the prior art that does not modify the character string, the embodiment shown in this embodiment can avoid the character string in the reset control area from wrapping or reduce the number of lines of the character string in the reset control area, thereby reducing the number of times the character string is truncated and improving the efficiency of the user in reading the character string.

In conjunction with the first aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, in a second implementation of the first aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, step D includes:

Step D21: Determine a first target reset control area.

In this embodiment, the length of the first character string included in the first target reset control area is greater than the length of the first target reset control area, the length of the second character string in the second target reset control area located on the first side of the first target reset control area is less than the second length, and the second length is the reset length of the second target reset control area located on the first side of the first target reset control area, and the length of the third character string in the second target reset control area located on the second side of the first target reset control area is greater than the third length, and the third length is the reset length of the second target reset control area located on the second side of the first target reset control area.

Step D22: Determine a single-line display area for the first character string.

The first character string single-line display area is extended from the first target reset control area toward the second character string, so that the length of the first character string single-line display area is greater than the reset length of the first target reset control area, and the interval between the first character string single-line display area and the second character string is greater than or equal to a second preset value;

Step D23: Display the first character string in a first character string single-line display area in a display mode of at least one line of character strings.

The method shown in this embodiment can ensure that the length of any one line of the at least one line of the first character string is less than or equal to the reset length of the single-line display area of the first character string.

Specifically, the first target reset control area may include an area for displaying icons and an area for displaying strings. When the length of the first string is greater than the length of the first target reset control area, the entire area of the first target reset control area may be extended in the direction of the second string until the distance between the single-line display area of the first string and the second string is greater than or equal to the second preset value, or the area for displaying strings within the first target reset control area may be extended in the direction of the second string until the distance between the area for displaying strings within the single-line display area of the first string and the second string is greater than or equal to the second preset value.

Specifically, in the process of extending the first character string single-line display area toward the second character string, if the length of the first character string single-line display area is greater than or equal to the length of the first character string single-line display, the first character string single-line display area is no longer extended;

If, during the process of extending the single-line display area of the first character string toward the second character string, the distance between the single-line display area of the first character string and the second character string is equal to the second preset value, and/or the length of the single-line display area of the first character string is greater than or equal to the length of the single-line display of the first character string, the single-line display area of the first character string no longer extends toward the second character string.

The specific process of displaying the first character string shown in this embodiment is:

It is determined whether the length of the first character string is less than or equal to the length of the single-line display area of the first character string.

If yes, displaying the first character string in a single line in the first character string single line display area;

If not, the first character string is displayed in a line-by-line manner in the first character string single-line display area.

As shown in this case, since the length of the control area shown in the prior art is expanded, the reset control area shown in this embodiment can display a longer string, and the first condition is met on one side of the first target reset control area, the first condition is: the length of the string in the reset control area is greater than the reset length of the reset control area, and when the other side of the first target reset control area meets the second condition, the second condition is: the length of the string in the reset control area is less than the reset length of the reset control area, the first string in the first target reset control area can be extended to the second string in the reset control area that meets the second condition, and the distance between the first string and the second string is greater than or equal to the second preset value. Therefore, compared with the prior art that does not modify the string, this embodiment can avoid the string in the reset control area from wrapping or reduce the number of lines of the string in the reset control area, thereby reducing the number of string truncation and improving the efficiency of user reading of the string.

In conjunction with the first aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, in a third implementation manner of the first aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, step D includes:

Step D31: Determine a first target reset control area.

Among them, the length of the first character string included in the first target reset control area is greater than the length of the first target reset control area, the length of the second character string in the second target reset control area located on the first side of the first target reset control area is less than the second length, and the second length is the reset length of the second target reset control area located on the first side of the first target reset control area; the length of the third character string in the second target reset control area located on the second side of the first target reset control area is less than the third length, and the third length is the reset length of the second target reset control area located on the second side of the first target reset control area.

Step D32: Determine a single-line display area for the first character string.

The first character string single-line display area is extended from the first target reset control area toward the second character string and the third character string, so that the length of the first character string single-line display area is greater than the reset length of the first target reset control area, and the intervals between the first character string single-line display area and the second character string and the third character string are greater than or equal to a second preset value.

Step D33: Display the first character string in a first character string single-line display area in a display mode of at least one line of character strings.

By adopting the method shown in this embodiment, the length of any one line of the at least one line of the first character string can be made less than or equal to the length of the single-line display area of the first character string.

The first character string shown in this embodiment can be aligned in the center and then moved toward the second character string and the third character string respectively within the reset control area.

In this embodiment, the specific process of extending the single-line display area of the first character string may be:

Specifically, if the first character string single-line display area is uniformly extended to both sides, and if the length of the first character string single-line display area is greater than or equal to the length of the first character string single-line display, the first character string single-line display area is no longer extended to both sides;

If, during the process of extending the first character string single-line display area toward the second character string and the third character string, the distance between the first character string single-line display area and the second character string is equal to the second preset value, and the distance between the first character string single-line display area and the third character string is greater than the second preset value, the first character string single-line display area no longer extends toward the second character string, but instead extends toward the third character string, until the length of the first character string single-line display area is greater than or equal to the length of the first character string single-line display and/or the distance between the first character string single-line display area 805 and the third character string is equal to the second preset value;

If, during the process of extending the single-line display area of the first character string toward the second character string and the third character string, the distance between the single-line display area of the first character string and the third character string is equal to the second preset value, and the distance between the single-line display area of the first character string and the second character string is greater than the second preset value, the single-line display area of the first character string no longer extends toward the third character string, but instead extends toward the second character string until the length of the single-line display area of the first character string is greater than or equal to the length of the single-line display of the first character string and/or the distance between the single-line display area of the first character string and the second character string is equal to the second preset value.

The specific process of displaying the first character string shown in this embodiment is:

It is determined whether the length of the first character string is less than or equal to the length of the single-line display area of the first character string.

If yes, displaying the first character string in a single line in the first character string single line display area;

If not, the first character string is displayed in a line-by-line manner in the first character string single-line display area.

As shown in this case, since the length of the control area shown in the prior art is expanded, the first target reset control area shown in this embodiment can display a longer character string, and when the reset control areas on both sides of the first target reset control area located at the first position meet the second condition, the first character string in the first target reset control area can be extended to the second character string and the third character string in the reset control area that meets the second condition, and ensure that the distance between the first character string and the second character string is greater than or equal to the second preset value, and ensure that the distance between the first character string and the third character string is greater than or equal to the second preset value. Therefore, compared with the prior art that does not modify the character string, this embodiment can avoid line wrapping of the character string located in the reset control area or reduce the number of lines of the character string located in the reset control area, thereby reducing the number of string truncation times and improving the efficiency of user reading of the character string.

In combination with the second implementation of the first aspect of the embodiment of the present invention or the third implementation of the first aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, in the fourth implementation of the first aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, step D further includes:

Step D41: perform target processing on the first character string.

The target processing is to reduce the character string so that the reduced character string is greater than or equal to a first preset value.

Step D42: Display the first character string after target processing in the first character string single-line display area in a display mode of at least one line of character strings.

In this embodiment, the first character string located in the first target reset control area can be reduced in size, thereby increasing the number of characters that can be displayed in a single line in the first target reset control area, thereby further avoiding line wrapping of the first character string displayed in the first target reset control area, or further reducing the number of lines wrapped by the first character string displayed in the first target reset control area, thereby reducing the number of times the character string is truncated and improving the efficiency of user reading of the character string.

In conjunction with the first aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, in a fifth implementation of the first aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, step D includes:

The fourth character string single-line display area is extended from the fourth target reset control area toward the edge of the display screen, so that the length of the fourth character string single-line display area is greater than the reset length of the fourth target reset control area, and the interval between the fourth character string single-line display area and the edge of the display screen is greater than or equal to a third preset value.

Step D53: Display the fourth character string in the fourth character string single-line display area in a display mode of at least one line of character strings.

By adopting the method shown in this embodiment, the length of any one line of the at least one line of the fourth character string can be less than or equal to the length of the single-line display area of the fourth character string.

As shown in this case, since the length of the control area shown in the prior art is expanded, the reset control area shown in this embodiment can display a longer character string, and the fourth character string shown in this embodiment can be extended toward the edge of the display screen, thereby further improving the length of the character string that can be displayed in the fourth target reset control area. That is, this embodiment can avoid line wrapping of the character string located in the reset control area or reduce the number of lines of the character string located in the reset control area, thereby reducing the number of times the character string is truncated and improving the efficiency of the user in reading the character string.

By adopting the method shown in the embodiment, the length of any one line of the at least one line of the fourth character string can be made less than or equal to the length of the single-line display area of the fourth character string.

As shown in this case, since the length of the control area shown in the prior art is expanded, the reset control area shown in this embodiment can display a longer character string, and the fourth character string shown in this embodiment can be extended toward the edge direction of the display screen and the direction of the fifth character string, thereby further improving the length of the character string that can be displayed in the fourth target reset control area, that is, the present embodiment can avoid line wrapping of the character string located in the reset control area or reduce the number of lines of the character string located in the reset control area, thereby reducing the number of times the character string is truncated and improving the efficiency of the user in reading the character string.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for displaying a character string based on a terminal device. The specific structure of the terminal device capable of implementing the method for displaying a character string according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 2 .

The specific structure of the terminal device shown in this embodiment is described below with reference to FIG2 , wherein FIG2 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the terminal device provided by the present invention.

The terminal device includes components such as an input unit 205, a processor 203, an output unit 201, a communication unit 207, a memory 204, and a radio frequency circuit 208.

These components communicate via one or more buses. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the structure of the terminal device shown in FIG2 does not limit the present invention; it may be a bus structure or a star structure, and may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device can be any mobile or portable electronic device, including but not limited to a smart phone, a mobile computer, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a media player, etc.

The terminal device includes:

The output unit 201 is configured to output an image to be displayed.

Specifically, the output unit 201 includes but is not limited to an image output unit 2011 and a sound output unit 2012 .

The image output unit 2011 is used to output text, images, and/or videos. The image output unit 2011 may include a display panel, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or a field emission display (FED). Alternatively, the image output unit 2011 may include a reflective display, such as an electrophoretic display, or a display utilizing interferometric modulation of light (IML).

The image output unit 2011 may include a single display or multiple displays of different sizes. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a touch screen may also serve as a display panel of the output unit 201 .

For example, when the touch screen detects a touch or proximity gesture operation on it, it transmits it to the processor 203 to determine the type of touch event, and then the processor 203 provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel based on the type of touch event. Although in Figure 2, the input unit 205 and the output unit 201 are two independent components to implement the input and output functions of the terminal device, in some embodiments, the touch screen and the display panel can be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the terminal device. For example, the image output unit 2011 can display various graphical user interfaces (GUIs) as virtual control components, including but not limited to windows, scroll bars, icons, and clipboards, for users to operate through touch.

In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the image output unit 2011 includes a filter and an amplifier for filtering and amplifying the video output by the processor 203. The sound output unit 2012 includes a digital-to-analog converter for converting the audio signal output by the processor 203 from a digital format to an analog format.

The processor 203 is used to run corresponding codes, process the received information, and generate and output a corresponding interface.

Specifically, the processor 203 is the control center of the terminal device. It connects various components of the terminal device using various interfaces and circuits. It executes software programs and/or modules stored in memory and accesses data stored in memory to perform various functions of the terminal device and/or process data. The processor 203 can be composed of an integrated circuit (IC), for example, a single packaged IC or a combination of multiple packaged ICs with the same or different functions.

For example, the processor 203 may include only a central processing unit (CPU), or a combination of a graphics processing unit (GPU), a digital signal processor (DSP), and a control chip (e.g., a baseband chip) in a communication unit. In the embodiment of the present invention, the CPU may have a single computing core or multiple computing cores.

The memory 204 is used to store codes and data, and the codes are executed by the processor 203 .

Specifically, the memory 204 can be used to store software programs and modules. The processor 203 executes the various functional applications of the terminal device and realizes data processing by running the software programs and modules stored in the memory 204. The memory 204 mainly includes a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area can store an operating system and at least one application required for a function, such as a sound player program, an image player program, etc.; the data storage area can store data created according to the use of the terminal device (such as audio data, phone book, etc.).

In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the memory 204 may include a volatile memory, such as non-volatile dynamic random access memory (NVRAM), phase change random access memory (PRAM), magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM), etc. It may also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), and a flash memory device, such as NOR flash memory or NAND flash memory.

The non-volatile memory stores the operating system and applications executed by the processor 203. The processor 203 loads programs and data from the non-volatile memory into the internal memory and stores digital content on a mass storage device. The operating system includes various components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks, such as memory management, storage device control, and power management, as well as facilitating communication between various software and hardware components.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the operating system may be the Android operating system developed by Google, the iOS system developed by Apple, the Windows operating system developed by Microsoft, or an embedded operating system such as Vxworks.

The application includes any application installed on the terminal device, including but not limited to browsers, email, instant messaging services, word processing, keyboard virtualization, widgets, encryption, digital rights management, voice recognition, voice replication, positioning (such as functions provided by the global positioning system), music playback, etc.

The input unit 205 is used to implement interaction between the user and the terminal device and/or input information into the terminal device.

For example, the input unit 205 can receive digital or character information input by the user to generate a signal input related to user settings or function control. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the input unit 205 can be a touch screen, or other human-computer interaction interface, such as physical input keys, a microphone, or other external information acquisition device, such as a camera.

The touch screen shown in the embodiment of the present invention can collect the user's operating actions of touching or approaching it. For example, the user uses any suitable object or accessory such as a finger, a stylus, etc. to operate on the touch screen or near the touch screen, and drives the corresponding connection device according to a pre-set program. Optionally, the touch screen may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device detects the user's touch operation, converts the detected touch operation into an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the electrical signal from the touch detection device, converts it into touch point coordinates, and then sends it to the processor 203.

The touch controller can also receive and execute commands sent by the processor 203. In addition, the touch screen can be implemented using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave touch screens.

In other embodiments of the present invention, the physical input keys used by the input unit 205 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as a volume control key, a power key, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, etc. The input unit 205 in the form of a microphone can collect voice input from the user or the environment and convert it into a command in the form of an electrical signal that can be executed by the processor 203.

In other embodiments of the present invention, the input unit 205 may also be various sensor devices, such as Hall effect devices, for detecting physical quantities of the terminal device, such as force, torque, pressure, stress, position, displacement, speed, acceleration, angle, angular velocity, number of revolutions, rotational speed, and the time when the operating state changes, and converting them into electrical quantities for detection and control. Other sensor devices may also include gravity sensors, three-axis accelerometers, gyroscopes, electronic compasses, ambient light sensors, proximity sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, pressure sensors, heart rate sensors, fingerprint sensors, etc.

Communication unit 207 is configured to establish a communication channel, enabling the terminal device to connect to a remote server via the communication channel and download media data from the remote server. Communication unit 207 may include communication modules such as a wireless local area network (WLAN) module, a Bluetooth module, and a baseband module, as well as corresponding radio frequency (RF) circuits for performing WLAN, Bluetooth, infrared, and/or cellular communication systems, such as Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) and/or High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA). The communication module controls communications among various components within the terminal device and may support direct memory access.

In different embodiments of the present invention, the various communication modules in the communication unit 207 generally appear in the form of an integrated circuit chip (full name in English: Integrated Circuit Chip) and can be selectively combined without having to include all communication modules and corresponding antenna groups. For example, the communication unit 207 may only include a baseband chip, a radio frequency chip and corresponding antennas to provide communication functions in a cellular communication system. Through the wireless communication connection established by the communication unit 207, such as wireless LAN access or WCDMA access, the terminal device can be connected to a cellular network (full name in English: Cellular Network) or the Internet. In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the communication modules in the communication unit 207, such as the baseband module, can be integrated into the processor 203, typically such as the APQ+MDM series platform provided by Qualcomm.

RF circuit 208 is used for sending and receiving information or receiving and sending signals during calls. For example, it receives downlink information from the base station and passes it to processor 203 for processing; in addition, it sends uplink data to the base station. Typically, RF circuit 208 includes well-known circuitry for performing these functions, including but not limited to an antenna system, a RF transceiver, one or more amplifiers, a tuner, one or more oscillators, a digital signal processor, a codec chipset, a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, memory, and so on. RF circuit 208 can also communicate with the network and other devices via wireless communication.

The wireless communication may use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to Global System of Mobile Communications (GSM), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), Long Term Evolution (LTE), email, Short Messaging Service (SMS), etc.

The power supply 209 is used to supply power to the various components of the terminal device to maintain its operation. Generally speaking, the power supply 209 can be a built-in battery, such as a common lithium-ion battery or nickel-metal hydride battery, or an external power supply that directly supplies power to the terminal device, such as an AC adapter. In some embodiments of the present invention, the power supply 209 can be defined more broadly, for example, to include a power management system, a charging system, a power fault detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator (such as a light-emitting diode), and any other components associated with the generation, management, and distribution of electrical energy in the terminal device.

The following describes a method for displaying a character string provided by an embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with FIG3 , wherein FIG3 is a flowchart of steps of an embodiment of drawing a character string in a control area provided by the present invention.

To better understand the embodiment of the present invention, the control area shown in this embodiment is first described below:

Specifically, the terminal device can pre-set a preset coordinate range, and each preset coordinate range corresponds to each control area, so that the control area is displayed within the preset coordinate range corresponding to the control area. It can be seen that the terminal device shown in this embodiment sets the display position and display range of the control area on the display screen through the preset coordinate range.

Specifically, the control area provided in this embodiment includes a character string for displaying on a display screen of a terminal device.

This embodiment does not limit the size of each of the preset control areas, and this embodiment does not limit the content contained in each of the control areas.

Optionally, the control area may include icons and/or virtual keys for responding to operation events input by the user.

This embodiment does not limit the number of the control areas displayed on the display screen of the terminal device.

The following describes the application scenarios of the control areas shown in different usage scenarios of terminal devices:

First, please refer to Figure 20. In the scenario where the terminal device displays the main interface, multiple control areas 2000 are displayed on the display screen of the terminal device. Each control area 2000 is provided with an application icon and an application name corresponding to the application, and a first interval 2001 is provided between any two adjacent control areas along the horizontal direction of the display screen of the terminal device. Taking Figure 20 as an example, a first interval 2001 is provided between the control area for displaying the Baidu Music icon and the control area for displaying the Sina Weibo icon. This embodiment does not limit the specific number of the control areas 2000 and the size of the first interval.

Another application scenario is shown in Figure 21. In this application scenario, the control area is displayed on the application interface. This embodiment does not limit the application interface. For example, the application interface can be the first-level interface, second-level interface, etc. of the application.

This application scenario takes the first-level application interface of Baidu Mobile as an example. It should be clear that the examples of applications in this embodiment are optional examples and are not limiting.

As shown in Figure 21, on the first-level interface of the Baidu application mobile phone, multiple control areas 2100 are displayed, and each control area 2100 is provided with a virtual button 2101. The virtual button 2101 is used to receive touch instructions input by the user. After receiving the touch instructions input by the user, the terminal device controls the interface of the application to jump to the application interface corresponding to the virtual button.

For example, taking FIG. 21 as an example, if the virtual button “Map” receives a touch instruction input by the user, the terminal device controls the mobile Baidu to jump from the first-level interface to the interface for realizing the map function.

In this embodiment, a first interval 2102 is set between any two adjacent control areas along the horizontal direction of the display screen of the terminal device. Taking Figure 21 as an example, a first interval 2102 is set between the control area for displaying the virtual key "video" and the control area for displaying the virtual key "icon". This embodiment does not limit the specific number of the control areas 2100 and the size of the first interval.

Please see Figure 22 for another application scenario. In this application scenario, the control area is used to display menu options, and each menu option is used to control the terminal device to perform the function corresponding to the menu option. It should be clear that the function of the menu option in this embodiment is an optional example and is not limited. In other application scenarios, the menu option can also perform other functions, for example, to realize the jump of the application interface, etc.

This application scenario takes the system application "Settings" of the terminal device as an example. As shown in Figure 22, when the system application "Settings" displays the first-level interface, the first-level interface of the application "Settings" displays multiple control areas. This embodiment does not limit the specific number of the control areas.

In this application scenario, two mutually matching control areas are provided along the horizontal direction of the display screen, for example, mutually matching control area 2201 and control area 2202 .

The control area 2201 displays the menu option "Airplane Mode", and the control area 2202 displays whether the menu option "Airplane Mode" is turned on. Taking Figure 22 as an example, the user can know from the control area 2202 that the flight mode of the terminal device is not turned on. The user can input a touch instruction on the control area 2201 and/or the control area 2202. When the control area 2201 and/or the control area 2202 receives the touch instruction, the terminal device controls the "Airplane Mode" to be turned on, and controls the control area 2202 to display the status of the "Airplane Mode" being turned on.

For another example, the control area 2203 displays the menu option "Bluetooth", and the control area 2204 displays a character string indicating whether the menu option "Bluetooth" is turned on. Taking Figure 22 as an example, the user can know from the control area 2204 that the Bluetooth of the terminal device is not currently turned on, then the user can input a touch instruction on the control area 2203 and/or the control area 2204. When the control area 2203 and/or the control area 2204 receives the touch instruction, the terminal device displays a drop-down menu option corresponding to Bluetooth. The drop-down menu option corresponding to Bluetooth can display a touch button for whether Bluetooth is turned on, a character string for displaying the name of the Bluetooth device, a character string for displaying the name of the current terminal device, etc. This embodiment does not limit the specific display content of the drop-down menu option corresponding to Bluetooth.

In this embodiment, a first interval 2205 is set between any two adjacent control areas along the horizontal direction of the display screen of the terminal device. Taking Figure 22 as an example, a first interval 2205 is set between the control area 2203 for displaying the menu option "Bluetooth" and the control area 2204 for displaying the character string whether Bluetooth is turned on. This embodiment does not limit the specific number of the control areas and the size of the first interval.

Step 301 : Detect whether the sub-area displayed by the terminal device meets a preset condition. If not, execute step 302 ; if so, execute step 303 .

The display screen of the terminal device shown in this embodiment is divided into at least one sub-area along the horizontal direction of the terminal device, and at least one control area is set in each sub-area.

It should be clarified that this embodiment takes the division of the display screen into sub-areas along the horizontal direction of the terminal device as an optional example and is not limited. In specific applications, this embodiment does not limit the specific division method of the sub-areas. For example, the sub-areas can also be divided along the vertical direction of the display screen, or randomly.

Take FIG. 4 as an example, where FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a sub-area displayed by a terminal device provided by the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the display screen of the terminal device is divided into three sub-areas along the horizontal direction of the terminal device, namely, sub-area 400 , sub-area 401 and sub-area 402 .

Optionally, a second preset interval 405 is set between two sides of the sub-area shown in this embodiment and the edge of the terminal display screen.

This embodiment does not limit the size of the second preset interval 405 .

In a specific application, the second preset interval 405 may not be set, so that both sides of the sub-area are connected to the edges of the display screen of the terminal device.

The sub-area shown in this embodiment is used to set a control area.

Specifically, in the same sub-region, a first preset interval 403 is set between any two adjacent control regions.

This embodiment does not limit the size of the first preset interval 403 .

Each of the sub-areas displayed on the display screen of the terminal device provided in this embodiment includes a plurality of the control areas.

The preset condition described in this embodiment is that the sub-area includes at least one target control area.

The length of the character string contained in the target control area is greater than the length of the target control area.

In this embodiment, if it is detected that the sub-area displayed on the display screen of the terminal device does not meet the preset condition, that is, the sub-area that does not meet the preset condition does not include the target control area, step 302 will continue to be executed.

Specifically, if the terminal device determines that the length of the character string in any control area of the multiple control areas included in the sub-area is less than or equal to the length of the control area, step 302 is continued.

In this embodiment, if it is detected that the sub-area displayed on the display screen of the terminal device meets the preset condition, that is, the sub-area meeting the preset condition contains at least one target control area, step 303 will be continued.

Specifically, if the terminal device determines that the length of the character string in at least one of the multiple control areas included in the sub-area is greater than the length of the control area, step 303 is continued.

Step 302: Display each of the control areas in the sub-areas that do not meet the preset condition according to a first preset mode.

If it is detected that the sub-area displayed on the display screen of the terminal device does not meet the preset condition, there is no need to change the display effect of each control area in the sub-area that does not meet the preset condition, and it can be directly displayed in the first preset mode.

This embodiment does not limit the first preset mode, as long as the character strings displayed in each control area can be displayed in a single line, that is, the character strings located in each control area do not need to be displayed in line breaks, thereby effectively ensuring the user's efficiency in reading the character strings.

For example, in this embodiment, taking the character string displayed in each control area as the name of the icon as an example, the first preset mode may be to display the character string in each control area in the center of the control area.

As shown in FIG1 , the character string “Tencent News” is displayed in the center of the control area 100 .

Step 303: Reset at least one control area included in the target sub-area to form at least one reset control area.

Optionally, during the execution of step 301, if the terminal device detects that the sub-area displayed by the terminal device meets the preset condition, the terminal device may generate control information so that the terminal device touches the execution of step 303 according to the control information.

Optionally, step 301 and step 302 shown in this embodiment are optional steps, and in an application scenario, step 301 and step 302 may not be performed. The control information may also be input by a user to the terminal device.

For example, when the user resets the language of the terminal device, this embodiment takes the example of the user setting the language of the terminal device from Chinese to English. The terminal device can display an operation interface through the display screen, and the operation interface can indicate whether the user needs to set the control area to form the reset control area. If the user notifies the terminal device through the operation interface that the control area needs to be set to form the reset control area, the terminal device can generate control information according to the user's operation, and the control information is used to trigger the terminal device to execute step 303.

In this embodiment, the target sub-region is a sub-region that meets the preset condition.

The reset control area has a length that is a reset length.

Specifically, the multiple control areas included in the target sub-area include at least one target control area.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 4 , if it is determined that the length of the character string in the control area 404 in the sub-area 401 is greater than the length of the control area 404 , the control area 404 is determined to be the target control area.

This embodiment does not limit the number of the determined target sub-regions.

This embodiment does not limit the number of the target control areas contained in the determined target sub-area, as long as the target sub-area includes at least one target control area.

The specific process of resetting the target sub-area is as follows:

Obtaining a length L of the target sub-area along a horizontal direction of the terminal device;

Obtain the number N of control areas included in the target sub-area;

The reset length of each reset control area is determined to be L/N.

In this embodiment, the length of the target sub-region is not changed, so that the length of the target sub-region after the reset is the same as the length before the reset.

The following is an exemplary description continued with reference to FIG5 , wherein FIG5 is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of the sub-area displayed by the terminal device provided by the present invention.

Specifically, Figure 5 illustrates how a target sub-area is specifically reset. If the display screen of the terminal device is divided into multiple target sub-areas, the division method of each target sub-area is shown in Figure 5 in detail, and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG5 , the terminal device obtains the length L of the target sub-area 401 along the horizontal direction of the terminal device;

In this embodiment, due to the different sizes of the display screens of the terminal devices or the different design requirements of the terminal devices for the display modes, the target sub-area 401 may have different lengths L along the horizontal direction of the terminal devices on different terminal devices, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

Obtain the number N of control areas included in the target sub-area 401;

As shown in FIG. 5 , the number N of control areas included in the target sub-area 401 is 3.

The reset length of each reset control area 500 is determined to be L/N.

As shown in FIG4 and FIG5 , after the target sub-area is reset, two conditions are satisfied:

The first condition: before the target sub-area is reset, as shown in Figure 4, the first preset interval 403 is set between any two adjacent control areas in the target sub-area 401; after the target sub-area is reset, as shown in Figure 5, the first preset interval 403 is no longer set between any two adjacent reset control areas in the target sub-area 401, that is, any two adjacent reset control areas in the target sub-area 401 are against each other, and in terms of display effect, the boundary lines of any two adjacent reset control areas in the target sub-area 401 coincide with each other.

The second condition: As shown in Figure 5, the reset control areas located on both sides of the target sub-area 401 are the reset control area 501 and the reset control area 502. A second preset interval 501 is set between the reset control area 501 and the edge of the display screen of the terminal device, and a second preset interval 501 is set between the reset control area 502 and the edge of the display screen of the terminal device. This embodiment does not limit the size of the second preset interval 501.

Step 304 , determining whether the target sub-region includes a target reset control region, if not, proceeding to step 305 , if yes, proceeding to step 306 .

In this embodiment, the target sub-area includes at least one reset control area.

The target reset control area meets a target condition, where the target condition is that the length of the character string contained in the reset control area is greater than the reset length of the reset control area.

In this embodiment, the terminal device needs to judge at least one reset control area included in the target sub-area one by one to determine whether the target sub-area includes the target reset control area.

In this embodiment, the execution of step 305 is triggered only if all the reset control areas contained in the target sub-area do not contain the target reset control area, that is, the length of the character strings contained in all the reset control areas contained in the target sub-area are less than or equal to the reset length of the reset control area.

If the target sub-area includes at least one target reset control area, execution of step 306 is triggered.

Step 305: Display each of the reset control areas according to the first preset mode.

In this embodiment, if it is determined that the lengths of all the character strings in the reset control areas contained in the target sub-area displayed on the display screen of the terminal device are less than or equal to the reset length of the reset control area, the character strings in each reset control area can be controlled to be displayed in the center.

It should be clear that this embodiment does not limit the display method of the character strings displayed in each of the reset control areas, as long as the character strings displayed in each of the reset control areas can be displayed in a single line, that is, the character strings located in each of the reset control areas do not need to be displayed in line breaks, thereby effectively ensuring the user's efficiency in reading the character strings.

Step 306: Display each of the reset control areas according to a second preset mode.

The second preset mode shown in this embodiment is described in detail below. It should be noted that in this embodiment, due to the different lengths of the character strings in the reset control area, the reset control area will have different second preset modes.

The following describes the lengths of different character strings in different reset control areas.

One case is that if the reset control area is located at a first position, and the reset control area located at the first position and the reset control areas on both sides of the reset control area located at the first position all meet the first condition.

The first condition shown in this embodiment is that the length of the character string in the reset control area is greater than the reset length of the reset control area.

In this embodiment, reset control areas are provided on both sides of the reset control area located at the first position.

As shown in FIG. 6 , the reset control area located at the first position is the reset control area 605 , and the reset control area 605 is located between the reset control area 607 and the reset control area 606 .

In this embodiment, each sub-region shown in FIG6 is described by taking three reset control regions as an example. In a specific application, the number of reset control regions that the sub-region may include is not limited in this embodiment.

It should also be clarified that this embodiment uses the example of the reset control area 607 and the reset control area 606 being located at the edge of the sub-area for illustrative explanation. In specific applications, in this setting method, it is sufficient as long as the reset control area 607 and the reset control area 606 are located on both sides of the reset control area 605.

FIG6 does not limit the content of the character strings located in each reset control area.

As shown in FIG. 6 , the reset control area 605 located at the first position meets the first condition, that is, the length of the first character string in the reset control area 605 is greater than the reset length of the reset control area 605 .

In this case, the reset control area 607 and the reset control area 606 located on both sides of the reset control area 605 also meet the first condition, that is, the length of the character string in the reset control area 607 is greater than the reset length of the reset control area 607, and the length of the character string in the reset control area 606 is greater than the reset length of the reset control area 606.

In this case, the second preset mode may be:

If the length of the first character string after the target processing is less than or equal to the length of the reset control area located at the first position, the first character string after the target processing is displayed in the center of the reset control area 605 .

In this setting manner, the target processing is to reduce the size of any character of the first string within the reset control area at the first position, so that any character of the first string after the reduction processing is greater than or equal to a first preset value.

This embodiment does not limit the size of the first preset value, as long as the characters greater than or equal to the first preset value can be clearly seen by the user.

The first preset value can be initialized by the manufacturer at the factory, or can be customized by the user according to his or her own needs. For example, the terminal device can push a setting interface to the user, and the setting interface is used to instruct the user to set the minimum value of the character display, that is, the first preset value.

Taking the display mode 600 shown in FIG. 6 as an example, the sub-areas in the display mode 600 include a reset control area 605 , a reset control area 607 , and a reset control area 606 .

The reset control area located at the first position is the control area 605. If the length of the first character string in the reset control area 605 is greater than the reset length of the reset control area 605, the target processing can be performed on the characters in the reset control area 605.

If the length of the first character string after the target processing is less than or equal to the length of the reset control area, the first character string after the target processing is displayed in the center of the reset control area.

Continuing with Figure 6, when the length of the first character string after the target processing is less than or equal to the length of the reset control area 605, Figure 6 jumps from display mode 600 to display mode 601. In display mode 601, the first character string in the reset control area 605 is reduced in size. While ensuring that any character of the first character string after the reduction processing is greater than or equal to the first preset value, if the length of the first character string is less than or equal to the length of the reset control area 605, the first character string after the target processing will be displayed in the center of the reset control area 605.

If the length of the first character string after the target processing is greater than the length of the reset control area, the first character string after the target processing is displayed in the reset control area in separate lines.

Continuing with FIG6 , when the length of the first character string after the target processing is greater than the length of the reset control area 605, FIG6 jumps from display mode 600 to display mode 602. In display mode 602, the first character string in the reset control area 605 is reduced in size. When ensuring that any character of the first character string after the reduction processing is greater than or equal to the first preset value, the first character string after the reduction processing is displayed in lines in the reset control area 605.

In this embodiment, there is a first preset interval between the first character string displayed in the reset control area that meets the first condition and the character string that meets the second condition. The specific description of the first preset interval is shown above and will not be repeated here.

Optionally, if the terminal device determines that even if the characters in the reset control area 605 are reduced in size, they cannot be displayed in a single line in the reset control area 605, the terminal device may not reduce the characters in the reset control area 605, but directly display them in separate lines.

As shown in this case, since the length of the control area shown in the prior art is expanded, the reset control area shown in this embodiment can display a longer character string, and when the reset control areas on the left and right sides of the reset control area meet the first condition, the character string in the reset control area can be reduced. Therefore, compared with the prior art that does not modify the character string, this embodiment can avoid line wrapping of the character string in the reset control area or reduce the number of lines of the character string in the reset control area, thereby reducing the number of times the character string is truncated and improving the efficiency of the user in reading the character string.

Another situation is that if the reset control area is located at the first position, and the reset control area located at the first position meets the first condition, the reset control area on one side of the reset control area located at the first position meets the first condition, and the reset control area on the other side of the reset control area located at the first position meets the second condition.

This embodiment is described by taking the reset control area that satisfies the second condition and is located at the second position as an example, where the second position is either side of the left or right side of the first position;

This embodiment does not limit whether the reset control area located at the second position is located on the left or right side of the reset control area at the first position. This embodiment is exemplified by the example that the reset control area located on the left side of the reset control area at the first position meets the first condition, and the reset control area located on the right side of the reset control area at the first position meets the second condition.

Please refer to the above for details of the first condition, which will not be elaborated on here.

The second condition is that the length of the character string in the reset control area is less than the reset length of the reset control area.

Taking the display mode 700 shown in FIG. 7 as an example, this embodiment takes the sub-area included in the display mode 700 as the sub-area 703 as an example, and takes the sub-area 703 as an example in which three reset control areas are set.

In this embodiment, each sub-region shown in FIG. 7 is described by taking three reset control regions as an example. In a specific application, the number of reset control regions that the sub-region may include is not limited in this embodiment.

It should also be clarified that this embodiment uses the example of the reset control area 607 and the reset control area 606 being located at the edge of the sub-area for illustrative explanation. In specific applications, in this setting method, it is sufficient as long as the reset control area 607 and the reset control area 606 are located on both sides of the reset control area 605.

Specifically, the reset control area 605 is the reset control area located at the first position, and the reset control area 605 is located between the reset control area 606 and the reset control area 607 .

Specifically, the interval between the two sides of the sub-area 703 shown in this embodiment and the edge of the display screen of the terminal device is a second preset interval 701, and the size of the second preset interval 701 can be 8dp, 1dp=1/160 inch.

It should be noted that the description of the size of the second preset interval 701 in this embodiment is an optional example and is not limiting.

In this embodiment, a third preset interval 702 is provided along the horizontal direction of the terminal device between the left edge of the sub-area 703 and the reset control area 607. The third preset interval 702 is provided along the horizontal direction of the terminal device between the right edge of the sub-area 703 and the reset control area 606.

As shown in FIG. 7 , the third preset interval 702 may be 12 dp.

It should be noted that the description of the size of the third preset interval 702 in this embodiment is an optional example and is not limiting.

It should also be clarified that, in specific applications, this embodiment does not limit whether to set the second preset interval 701 and the third preset interval 702.

As shown in FIG. 7 , during the process of resetting the sub-area 700 , the reset control area 605 located at the first position has the reset length.

How to determine the reset length is described in detail in the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

In this case, since the length of the first character string located in the reset control area 605 is greater than the length of the reset control area 605, in order to display the complete first character string, in this case, the second preset mode may be:

The first character string is displayed in the form of at least one line of character strings, and the distance between any one line of character strings in the at least one line of character strings and the second character string is greater than or equal to the second preset value.

The first character string is a character string located in the reset control area at the first position, and the second character string is a character string located in the reset control area at the second position.

Specifically, as shown in the display mode 700 shown in Figure 7, the first character string in the control area 605 located at the first position cannot be fully displayed in the reset control area 605, that is, the length of the first character string when displayed in a single line is greater than the length L1 of the reset control area 605.

Determine a single-line display area for a first character string, wherein a length of the single-line display area for the first character string is greater than a length of a reset control area located at the first position, and a distance between the single-line display area for the first character string and the second character string is greater than or equal to a second preset value.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 7, in display mode 700, if the length of the first string when displayed in a single line is greater than the length L1 of the reset control area 605, then the display mode 700 jumps to display mode 704. In the display mode 704, the terminal device determines the first string single-line display area 705.

More specifically, the length L2 of the first character string single-line display area 705 is greater than L1, and the distance between the first character string single-line display area 705 and the second character string located in the reset control area 606 is greater than or equal to the second preset value T1.

Optionally, the first character string single-line display area 705 shown in this embodiment is formed by extending the entire area or a portion of the reset control area located at the first position toward the direction of the second character string.

Specifically, taking Figure 7 as an example, the reset control area 605 located at the first position may include an area for displaying icons and an area for displaying strings. When the length of the first string is greater than the length of the reset control area 605, the entire area of the reset control area 605 can be extended in the direction of the second string until the distance between the first string single-line display area 705 and the second string is greater than or equal to the second preset value, or the area for displaying strings within the reset control area 605 can be extended in the direction of the second string until the distance between the area for displaying strings within the first string single-line display area 705 and the second string is greater than or equal to the second preset value.

It can be seen that the first character string shown in this embodiment can be moved in the direction of the second character string within the reset control area 605 .

In this embodiment, the specific process of extending the first character string single-line display area 705 may be:

Specifically, in the process of extending the first character string single-line display area 705 toward the second character string, if the length of the first character string single-line display area 705 is greater than or equal to the length of the first character string single-line display, the first character string single-line display area 705 is no longer extended;

If, during the process of extending the first character string single-line display area 705 toward the second character string, the distance between the first character string single-line display area 705 and the second character string is equal to the second preset value, and/or the length of the first character string single-line display area 705 is greater than or equal to the length of the first character string single-line display, the first character string single-line display area 705 no longer extends toward the second character string.

The specific process of displaying the first character string shown in this embodiment is:

It is determined whether the length of the first character string is less than or equal to the length of the single-line display area of the first character string.

If so, the first character string is displayed in a single line in the first character string single line display area.

Specifically, as shown in display mode 704 in Figure 7, if the length of the first string is less than or equal to the length L2 of the first string single-line display area 705, the first string can be displayed in a single line in the first string single-line display area 705.

If not, optionally, one method may be to display the first character string in a line-by-line manner in the first character string single-line display area.

Specifically, as shown in display mode 706 in Figure 7, if the length of the first character string is greater than the length L2 of the first character string single-line display area 705, the first character string can be displayed in two or more lines in the first character string single-line display area 705, so that the length of any line of the first character string is less than or equal to the determined length L2 of the first character string single-line display area 705, and the distance between any line of the first character string and the second character string is greater than or equal to the second preset value.

If not, another optional method is to perform the target processing on the first character string. If the length of the first character string after the target processing is less than or equal to the length of the single-line display area of the first character string, the first character string after the target processing will be displayed in a single line in the first character string single-line display area. If the length of the first character string after the target processing is greater than the length of the single-line display area of the first character string, the first character string after the target processing will be displayed in separate lines in the first character string single-line display area.

Specifically, as shown in display mode 707 of Figure 7, if the length of the first string is greater than the length L2 of the first string single-line display area 705, the first string can be subjected to target processing. The specific process of the target processing is detailed as shown above and will not be repeated here. If the length of the first string after the reduction processing is less than or equal to the length of the first string single-line display area 705, the first string after the target processing will be displayed in a single line in the first string single-line display area 705. As shown in display mode 708 of Figure 7, if the length of the first string is greater than the length L2 of the first string single-line display area 705, the first string can be subjected to target processing. If the length of the first string after the reduction processing is greater than the length of the first string single-line display area 705, the first string after the target processing will be displayed in lines in the first string single-line display area 705.

The length of the second character string shown in this embodiment is less than the reset length of the reset control area where the second character string is located, so that even if the first character string extends toward the second character string, the second character string can be displayed in a single line without being truncated in the reset control area that meets the second condition.

The second character string shown in this embodiment can be displayed centered in the reset control area 606. Of course, this embodiment does not limit the specific display position of the second character string in the reset control area 606, as long as the distance between the first character string and the second character string can be greater than the second preset value.

For example, in the process of extending the first character string to the second character string, in order to avoid the first character string from wrapping as much as possible, the second character string can be extended toward the display screen of the terminal device, that is, the second character string extends toward the third preset interval 702, so that the target interval between the second character string and the edge of the display screen of the terminal device is sufficient, thereby expanding the length of the single-line display area of the first character string used to display the first character string as much as possible. This embodiment does not limit the size relationship between the target interval and the second preset interval 701.

Optionally, this embodiment is illustratively described by taking the second preset value of 8dp as an example.

It should be noted that, in specific applications, this embodiment does not limit the size of the second preset value.

In this embodiment, even if the first character string is controlled to extend in the direction of the second character string, the distance between the first character string and the second character string is ensured to be greater than or equal to the second preset value, thereby effectively preventing the user from confusing the first character string and the second character string during reading. This allows the user to clearly understand that the first character string and the second character string belong to different reset control areas, thereby avoiding misunderstandings during reading and improving the user's reading accuracy.

This embodiment is illustrated by taking the example of the case where the reset control area that meets the second condition is located on the right side of the reset control area that meets the first condition. If the reset control area that meets the second condition is located on the left side of the reset control area that meets the first condition, then the method of extending the character string in the reset control area that meets the first condition to the reset control area on the left side is detailed in this setting method and will not be elaborated on.

As shown in this case, since the length of the control area shown in the prior art is expanded, the reset control area shown in this embodiment can display a longer character string, and when one side of the reset control area meets the first condition and the other side of the reset control area meets the second condition, the first character string in the reset control area can be extended to the second character string in the reset control area that meets the second condition, and the distance between the first character string and the second character string is ensured to be greater than or equal to the second preset value. Therefore, compared with the prior art that does not modify the character string, this embodiment can avoid the character string in the reset control area from wrapping or reduce the number of lines of the character string in the reset control area, thereby reducing the number of character string truncation times and improving the efficiency of user reading of the character string.

In another case, if the reset control area is located at the first position, and the reset control area at the first position meets the first condition, the reset control areas on both sides of the control area at the second position meet the second condition.

For detailed descriptions of the first and second conditions in this setting method, please refer to the above setting method and no further details will be given.

In this case, as shown in FIG8 , the reset control area located at the first position is the reset control area 605 , and the reset control area 605 is located between the reset control area 607 and the reset control area 606 .

In this embodiment, each sub-area shown in FIG8 is described by taking three reset control areas as an example. In a specific application, the number of reset control areas that the sub-area may include is not limited in this embodiment.

It should also be clarified that this embodiment uses the example of the reset control area 607 and the reset control area 606 being located at the edge of the sub-area for illustrative explanation. In specific applications, in this setting method, it is sufficient as long as the reset control area 607 and the reset control area 606 are located on both sides of the reset control area 605.

In this case, the reset control area 605 located at the first position meets the first condition, that is, the length of the first character string in the reset control area 605 is greater than the reset length of the reset control area 605 .

The reset control area 607 and the reset control area 606 located on both sides of the reset control area 605 meet the second condition, that is, the length of the third character string in the reset control area 607 is less than the reset length of the reset control area 607, and the length of the second character string in the reset control area 606 is less than the reset length of the reset control area 606.

In this case, since the length of the first character string located in the reset control area 605 is greater than the length of the reset control area 605, in order to display the complete first character string, in this case, the second preset mode may be:

The first character string is displayed in at least one line of character strings, and a distance between any one line of character strings in the at least one line of character strings and the second character string is greater than or equal to the second preset value, and a distance between any one line of character strings in the at least one line of character strings and the third character string is greater than or equal to the second preset value.

The detailed description of the first character string, the second character string and the third character string is shown above and will not be repeated here.

Specifically, as shown in the display mode 800 shown in Figure 8, the first character string in the control area 605 located at the first position cannot be fully displayed in the reset control area 605, that is, the length of the first character string when displayed in a single line is greater than the length L1 of the reset control area 605.

Determine a single-line display area for a first character string, wherein a length of the single-line display area for the first character string is greater than a length of a reset control area located at the first position, a distance between the single-line display area for the first character string and the second character string is greater than or equal to a second preset value, and a distance between the single-line display area for the first character string and the third character string is greater than or equal to the second preset value.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 8, in display mode 800, if the length of the first string when displayed in a single line is greater than the length L1 of the reset control area 605, then the display mode 800 jumps to display mode 801. In the display mode 801, the terminal device determines the first string single-line display area 805.

More specifically, the length L2 of the first string single-line display area 805 is greater than L1, and the distance between the first string single-line display area 805 and the second string located in the reset control area 606 is greater than or equal to the second preset value T1, and the distance between the first string single-line display area 805 and the third string located in the reset control area 607 is greater than or equal to the second preset value T1.

Optionally, the first character string single-line display area 805 shown in this embodiment is formed by extending the entire area or part of the area within the reset control area located at the first position to both sides, that is, one end of the reset control area located at the first position extends in the direction of the second character string, and the other end of the reset control area located at the first position extends in the direction of the third character string.

Specifically, taking Figure 8 as an example, the reset control area 605 located at the first position may include an area for displaying icons and an area for displaying strings. When the length of the first string is greater than the length of the reset control area 605, the entire area of the reset control area 605 can be extended along the direction of the second string and the third string, respectively, until the distance between the first string single-line display area 805 and the second string is greater than or equal to the second preset value, and until the distance between the first string single-line display area 805 and the third string is greater than or equal to the second preset value, or, the area for displaying strings within the reset control area 605 can be extended along the direction of the second string and the third string, respectively, until the distance between the first string single-line display area 805 and the second string is greater than or equal to the second preset value, and until the distance between the first string single-line display area 805 and the second string is greater than or equal to the second preset value.

It can be seen that the first character string shown in this embodiment can be moved towards the second character string and the third character string respectively within the reset control area 605 after being aligned in the center.

In this embodiment, the specific process of extending the first character string single-line display area 805 may be:

In this embodiment, the distances that the first character string single-line display area 805 extends to both sides may be equal or unequal.

Specifically, if the first character string single-line display area 805 is uniformly extended to both sides, if the length of the first character string single-line display area 805 is greater than or equal to the length of the first character string single-line display, the first character string single-line display area 805 no longer extends to both sides;

If, during the process of extending the first character string single-line display area 805 toward the second character string and the third character string, the distance between the first character string single-line display area 805 and the second character string is equal to the second preset value, and the distance between the first character string single-line display area 805 and the third character string is greater than the second preset value, the first character string single-line display area 805 no longer extends toward the second character string, but instead extends toward the third character string, until the length of the first character string single-line display area 805 is greater than or equal to the length of the first character string single-line display and/or the distance between the first character string single-line display area 805 and the third character string is equal to the second preset value;

If, during the process of extending the first character string single-line display area 805 toward the second character string and the third character string, the distance between the first character string single-line display area 805 and the third character string is equal to the second preset value, and the distance between the first character string single-line display area 805 and the second character string is greater than the second preset value, the first character string single-line display area 805 no longer extends toward the third character string, but instead extends toward the second character string until the length of the first character string single-line display area 805 is greater than or equal to the length of the first character string single-line display and/or the distance between the first character string single-line display area 805 and the second character string is equal to the second preset value.

The specific process of displaying the first character string shown in this embodiment is:

It is determined whether the length of the first character string is less than or equal to the length of the single-line display area of the first character string.

If so, the first character string is displayed in a single line in the first character string single line display area.

Specifically, as shown in display mode 801 in Figure 8, if the length of the first string is less than or equal to the length L2 of the first string single-line display area 805, the first string can be displayed in a single line in the first string single-line display area 805.

If not, optionally, one method may be to display the first character string in a line-by-line manner in the first character string single-line display area.

Specifically, as shown in the display mode 802 of Figure 8, if the length of the first character string is greater than the length L2 of the first character string single-line display area 805, the first character string can be displayed in two or more lines in the first character string single-line display area 705, so that the length of any line of the first character string is less than or equal to the determined length L2 of the first character string single-line display area 705, and the distance between any line of the first character string and the second character string is greater than or equal to the second preset value.

If not, another optional method is to perform the target processing on the first character string. If the length of the first character string after the target processing is less than or equal to the length of the single-line display area of the first character string, the first character string after the target processing will be displayed in a single line in the first character string single-line display area. If the length of the first character string after the target processing is greater than the length of the single-line display area of the first character string, the first character string after the target processing will be displayed in separate lines in the first character string single-line display area.

Specifically, as shown in the display mode 803 of Figure 8, if the length of the first string is greater than the length L2 of the first string single-line display area 805, the first string can be subjected to target processing. The specific process of the target processing is detailed as shown above and will not be repeated here. If the length of the first string after the reduction processing is less than or equal to the length of the first string single-line display area 805, the first string after the target processing will be displayed in a single line in the first string single-line display area 805. As shown in the display mode 804 of Figure 8, if the length of the first string is greater than the length L2 of the first string single-line display area 805, the first string can be subjected to target processing. If the length of the first string after the reduction processing is greater than the length of the first string single-line display area 805, the first string after the target processing will be displayed in lines in the first string single-line display area 805.

The length of the second string shown in this embodiment is smaller than the reset length of the reset control area where the second string is located, and the length of the third string is smaller than the reset length of the reset control area where the third string is located, so that even if the first string extends toward the second string, the second string can be displayed in a single line without truncation in the reset control area that satisfies the second condition, and even if the first string extends toward the third string, the third string can be displayed in a single line without truncation in the reset control area that satisfies the second condition.

The specific display methods of the second character string and the third character string shown in this embodiment can be seen in detail above and will not be described in detail.

In this embodiment, even if the first character string is controlled to extend in the direction of the second character string and the third character string, it is necessary to ensure that the distance between the first character string and the second character string is greater than or equal to the second preset value, and to ensure that the distance between the first character string and the third character string is greater than or equal to the second preset value, thereby effectively preventing the user from being confused among the first character string, the second character string, and the third character string during reading, thereby enabling the user to clearly understand that the first character string, the second character string, and the third character string belong to different reset control areas, thereby avoiding misunderstandings during reading and improving the accuracy of the user's reading.

As shown in this case, since the length of the control area shown in the prior art is expanded, the reset control area shown in this embodiment can display a longer character string, and when the reset control areas on both sides of the reset control area located at the first position meet the second condition, the first character string in the reset control area can be extended to the second character string and the third character string in the reset control area that meet the second condition, and ensure that the distance between the first character string and the second character string is greater than or equal to the second preset value, and ensure that the distance between the first character string and the third character string is greater than or equal to the second preset value. Therefore, compared with the prior art that does not modify the character string, this embodiment can avoid line wrapping of the character string located in the reset control area or reduce the number of lines of the character string located in the reset control area, thereby reducing the number of string truncation times and improving the efficiency of user reading of the character string.

In another case, if the reset control area is located at a third position, and the reset control area located at the third position meets the first condition, the reset control area adjacent to the reset control area located at the third position meets the first condition.

In this embodiment, the third position is located at the edge of the sub-area, that is, the reset control area located at the third position is the reset control area located at the edge of the sub-area. Taking Figure 9 as an example, in display mode 900, the reset control area located at the third position is the reset control area 901 and the reset control area 902.

It should also be clarified that this embodiment does not limit the number of reset control areas located between the reset control area 901 and the reset control area 902. This embodiment uses the example of setting a reset control area 903 between the reset control area 901 and the reset control area 902 as an example for illustrative explanation.

This situation is exemplified by taking the reset control area 901 located at the third position as an example, wherein the reset control area 901 is located at the left edge of the sub-area.

Among them, the reset control area 902 located at the third position is located at the right edge of the sub-area. For the display method of the character string located in the reset control area 902, please refer to the display method of the character string located in the reset control area 901, and the specific details will not be repeated in this embodiment.

In this scenario, since the lengths of the character strings in the reset control area 901 located at the third position and the reset control area 903 adjacent to the reset control area 901 are both greater than the reset length of the reset control area, the second preset mode may be:

If the length of the fourth character string after the target processing is less than or equal to the length of the reset control area located at the third position, the third character string after the target processing is displayed centered in the reset control area.

The fourth character string is a character string located in the reset control area at the third position.

In this setting manner, the target processing is to reduce any character of the fourth character string in the reset control area located at the third position, so that any character of the first character string after the reduction processing is greater than or equal to a first preset value.

The specific description of the first preset value is shown above, and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

Continuing with FIG9 , when the length of the fourth character string after the target processing is less than or equal to the length of the reset control area 901, FIG9 jumps from display mode 900 to display mode 904. In display mode 904, the fourth character string in the reset control area 901 is reduced in size. While ensuring that any character of the fourth character string after the reduction processing is greater than or equal to the first preset value, if the length of the fourth character string is less than or equal to the length of the reset control area 901, the fourth character string after the target processing will be displayed centered in the reset control area 901.

If the length of the fourth character string after the target processing is greater than the length of the reset control area, the fourth character string after the target processing is displayed in the reset control area in separate lines.

Continuing with FIG9 , when the length of the fourth character string after the target processing is greater than the length of the reset control area 901, FIG9 jumps from display mode 900 to display mode 905. In display mode 905, the fourth character string in the reset control area 901 is reduced in size. When any character of the fourth character string after the reduction processing is ensured to be greater than or equal to the first preset value, the fourth character string after the reduction processing is displayed in lines in the reset control area 901.

In this setting mode, a single-line display area for a fourth character string may also be determined, wherein the length of the single-line display area for the fourth character string is greater than the length of the reset control area located at the third position.

Specifically, the reset control area located at the third position can extend toward the edge of the display, and the distance between the single-line display area of the fourth character string and the edge of the display screen of the terminal device can be greater than or equal to 0. The specific value is not limited in this embodiment.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 9, in display mode 900, if the length of the fourth character string when displayed in a single line is greater than the length L3 of the reset control area 901, the display mode jumps from display mode 900 to display mode 906. In display mode 906, the terminal device determines the fourth character string single-line display area 907.

In this embodiment, the length L2 of the fourth character string single-line display area 907 is greater than the length L3 of the reset control area 901 .

In this embodiment, if the length of the fourth character string is less than or equal to the length of the fourth character string single-line display area 907, the fourth character string is displayed in a single line in the fourth character string single-line display area 907; if the length of the fourth character string is greater than the length of the fourth character string single-line display area 907, the fourth character string is displayed in separate lines in the fourth character string single-line display area 907.

Optionally, the fourth character string displayed in the fourth character string single-line display area 907 may be a character string that has undergone the target processing or a character string that has not undergone the target processing.

As shown in this case, since the length of the control area shown in the prior art is expanded, the reset control area shown in this embodiment can display a longer string, that is, this embodiment can avoid the string in the reset control area from wrapping or reduce the number of lines of the string in the reset control area, thereby reducing the number of times the string is truncated and improving the efficiency of users in reading the string.

In another case, if the reset control area is located at a third position, and the reset control area located at the third position meets the first condition, the reset control area adjacent to the reset control area located at the third position meets the second condition.

In this embodiment, the third position is located at the edge of the sub-area, that is, the reset control area located at the third position is the reset control area located at the edge of the sub-area. Taking Figure 10 as an example, the reset control area located at the third position is the reset control area 1001 and the reset control area 1002.

This situation is exemplified by taking the reset control area 1001 located at the third position as an example, wherein the reset control area 1001 is located at the left edge of the sub-area.

Among them, the reset control area 1002 located at the third position is located at the right edge of the sub-area. For the display method of the character string located in the reset control area 1002, please refer to the display method of the character string located in the reset control area 1001, and the specific details will not be repeated in this embodiment.

It should also be clarified that this embodiment does not limit the number of reset control areas located between the reset control area 1001 and the reset control area 1002. This embodiment uses the example of setting a reset control area 1003 between the reset control area 1001 and the reset control area 1002 as an example for illustrative explanation.

This situation is exemplified by taking the reset control area 1001 located at the third position as an example, wherein the reset control area 1001 is located at the left edge of the sub-area.

Among them, the reset control area 1002 located at the third position is located at the right edge of the sub-area. For the display method of the character string located in the reset control area 1002, please refer to the display method of the character string located in the reset control area 1001, and the specific details will not be repeated in this embodiment.

In this scenario, taking the example where the length of the fourth character string in the reset control area 1001 located at the third position is greater than the reset length of the reset control area 1001, and the length of the fifth character string in the reset control area 1003 located at the fourth position is less than the reset length of the reset control area 1003, wherein the fourth position is a position adjacent to the third position.

In this case, the second preset mode may be:

The fourth character string is displayed in at least one line of character strings, and a distance between any one line of character strings in the at least one line of character strings and the fifth character string is greater than or equal to the second preset value, and a distance between any one line of character strings in the at least one line of character strings and an edge of a display screen is greater than or equal to a third preset value.

Specifically, as shown in the display mode 1000 shown in Figure 10, the fourth character string in the control area 1001 located at the third position cannot be fully displayed in the reset control area 1001, that is, the length of the fourth character string when displayed in a single line is greater than the length L3 of the reset control area 1001.

Determining a single-line display area for a fourth character string, wherein a length of the single-line display area for the fourth character string is greater than a length of a reset control area located at the third position, and a distance between the single-line display area for the fourth character string and the fifth character string is greater than or equal to a second preset value, and/or a distance between the single-line display area for the fourth character string and an edge of the display is greater than or equal to the second preset value.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 10, in display mode 1000, if the length of the fourth character string when displayed in a single line is greater than the length L3 of the reset control area 1001, the display mode 1000 jumps to display mode 1004. In the display mode 1004, the terminal device determines the fourth character string single-line display area 1005.

The fourth character string single-line display area 1005 is formed by extending the two ends of the reset control area 1001 located at the third position toward the edge of the display screen and the fifth character string, or the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 is formed by extending the reset control area 1001 located at the third position toward the fifth character string, or the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 is formed by extending the reset control area 1001 located at the third position toward the edge of the display screen.

This embodiment does not limit the extension direction of the fourth character string single-line display area 1005. This embodiment takes the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 extending from both ends of the reset control area 1001 toward the edge of the display screen and the fifth character string as an example for illustrative description:

As shown in Figure 10, the length L4 of the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 is greater than L3, and the distance between the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 and the fifth character string located in the reset control area 1003 is greater than or equal to the second preset value T1, and the distance between the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 and the edge of the display screen is greater than or equal to the third preset value T2.

In this embodiment, the distance between the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 and the edge of the display screen is greater than or equal to the third preset value, and the third preset value can be any value greater than or equal to 0.

It can be seen that the fourth character string shown in this embodiment can be aligned in the center and then moved in the reset control area 1001 toward the fifth character string and the edge of the display screen respectively.

In this embodiment, the specific process of extending the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 may be:

In this embodiment, the distances that the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 extends to both sides may be equal or unequal.

Specifically, if the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 is uniformly extended to both sides, if the length of the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 is greater than or equal to the length of the fourth character string single-line display, the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 no longer extends to both sides;

If, during the process of extending the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 toward the fifth character string and the edge of the display screen, the distance between the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 and the fifth character string is equal to the second preset value, and the distance between the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 and the edge of the display screen is greater than the third preset value, the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 no longer extends toward the fifth character string, but instead extends toward the edge of the display screen until the length of the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 is greater than or equal to the length of the fifth character string single-line display and/or the distance between the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 and the edge of the display screen is equal to the third preset value;

If, during the extension of the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 toward the fifth character string and the edge of the display screen, the distance between the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 and the edge of the display screen is equal to the third preset value, and the distance between the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 and the fifth character string is greater than the second preset value, the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 no longer extends toward the edge of the display screen, but extends toward the fifth character string until the length of the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 is greater than or equal to the length of the fifth character string single-line display and/or the distance between the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 and the fifth character string is equal to the second preset value.

The specific process of displaying the fourth character string shown in this embodiment is:

It is determined whether the length of the fourth character string is less than or equal to the length of the single-line display area of the fourth character string.

If so, the fourth character string is displayed in a single line in the fourth character string single line display area.

Specifically, as shown in the display mode 1004 shown in FIG10 , if the length of the fourth character string is less than or equal to the length L4 of the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 , the fourth character string may be displayed in a single line in the first character string single-line display area 1005 .

If not, optionally, one method may be to display the fourth character string in a line-by-line manner in the fourth character string single-line display area.

Specifically, as shown in the display mode 1006 shown in Figure 10, if the length of the fourth character string is greater than the length L4 of the fourth character string single-line display area 1005, the fourth character string can be displayed in two or more lines in the fourth character string single-line display area 1005, so that the length of any line of the fourth character string is less than or equal to the determined length L4 of the fourth character string single-line display area 1005, and the distance between any line of the fourth character string and the fifth character string is greater than or equal to the second preset value.

If not, another optional method is to perform the target processing on the fourth character string. If the length of the fourth character string after the target processing is less than or equal to the length of the fourth character string single-line display area, the fourth character string after the target processing is displayed in a single line in the fourth character string single-line display area; if the length of the fourth character string after the target processing is greater than the length of the fourth character string single-line display area, the fourth character string after the target processing is displayed in separate lines in the fourth character string single-line display area.

Specifically, as shown in the display mode 1007 of Figure 10, if the length of the fourth character string is greater than the length L4 of the fourth character string single-line display area 1005, the fourth character string can be target processed. The specific process of the target processing is detailed as shown above and will not be repeated here. If the length of the fourth character string after the reduction processing is less than or equal to the length of the fourth character string single-line display area 1005, the fourth character string after the target processing will be displayed in a single line in the fourth character string single-line display area 1005. As shown in the display mode 1008 of Figure 10, if the length of the fourth character string is greater than the length L4 of the fourth character string single-line display area 1005, the fourth character string can be target processed. If the length of the fourth character string after the reduction processing is greater than the length of the fourth character string single-line display area 1005, the fourth character string after the target processing will be displayed in the fourth character string single-line display area 1005 in separate lines.

The length of the fifth character string shown in this embodiment is less than the reset length of the reset control area where the fifth character string is located, so that even if the fourth character string extends toward the fifth character string, the fifth character string can be displayed in a single line without being truncated in the reset control area that meets the second condition.

The fourth character string shown in this embodiment can also extend toward the edge of the display screen, thereby extending the length of a single-line display of the fourth character string as much as possible, further avoiding or reducing the number of lines of the fourth character string.

The specific display methods of the fourth character string and the fifth character string shown in this embodiment can be found in the above description and will not be described in detail.

In this embodiment, even if the fourth character string is controlled to extend toward the fifth character string and the edge of the display screen, the distance between the fourth character string and the fifth character string is ensured to be greater than or equal to the second preset value, and the distance between the fourth character string and the fifth character string is ensured to be greater than or equal to the second preset value. This effectively prevents a user from confusing the fourth character string and the fifth character string during reading, and enables the user to clearly understand that the fourth character string and the fifth character string belong to different reset control areas, thereby avoiding misunderstandings during reading and improving the accuracy of the user's reading.

The following describes how the method shown in this embodiment is applied in a specific application scenario:

For an application scenario, please refer to Figures 11, 12 and 13, where Figure 11 shows an example diagram of the main interface of the terminal device in a Chinese usage environment, Figure 12 shows an example diagram of the main interface of the terminal device in a Russian usage environment, and Figure 13 shows an example diagram of the main interface of the terminal device applying the method shown in this embodiment in a Russian usage environment.

Among them, Figure 11 shows an example of a column of sub-areas displayed on the display screen of the terminal device. The specific structure of the sub-area is described in detail in Figure 3, and will not be described in detail in this application scenario.

It should be noted that this application scenario is illustrated by applying a terminal device in a Chinese usage environment to a Russian usage environment as an example, and is not limited thereto.

It should also be clarified that in order to better understand this application scenario, the boundaries of the control area and the reset control area are displayed as shown in Figures 11 to 13, but in specific applications, the boundaries of the control area and the reset control area are not displayed, that is, the boundaries of the control area and the reset control area are invisible.

In this application scenario, each control area displayed on the main interface of the terminal device display screen displays an icon, and a name corresponding to the icon is displayed in the center just below the icon.

When the terminal device shown in FIG11 is applied to a Russian usage environment, the names corresponding to the icons in each control area will be translated into Russian, as shown in FIG12 .

As shown in Figures 11 and 12, the display method in each control area will change in different usage environments. Specifically, in the Chinese usage environment, as shown in Figure 11, the character strings located in each control area will not be displayed in line breaks, which makes it easier for users to understand the names corresponding to the icons in each control area, and because the character strings will not be displayed in line breaks, the efficiency of users understanding the meaning of the character strings in each control area is improved. However, when the terminal device shown in Figure 11 is applied to a Russian usage environment, most of the character strings in the control area need to be displayed in line breaks. For example, in control area 1201, the Chinese character string "Tencent News" is translated into Russian as "Tencent новости". It can be seen that the Russian character string is longer than the length of control area 1201, so the Russian character string needs to be displayed in separate lines. Due to the truncated display of the character string, the efficiency of users understanding the meaning of the character string is reduced.

In this application scenario, when the terminal device shown in Figure 11 is applied to a Russian usage environment, the terminal device can automatically reset the sub-area, that is, reset each of the control areas included in the sub-area to a reset control area. The specific process of resetting the control area to the reset control area is shown in step 303 of Figure 3, and will not be elaborated in this application scenario.

It can be seen that in this application scenario, the gap between any two adjacent reset control areas is deleted, thereby expanding the length of the area for displaying character strings in each reset control area.

Among them, for the specific display method of the reset control area 1301 shown in Figure 13, please refer to the display method of the fourth character string located in the reset control area 1001 shown in Figure 10, which will not be described in detail in this application scenario. For the specific display method of the reset control area 1302 shown in Figure 13, please refer to the display method of the fifth character string located in the reset control area 1003 shown in Figure 10, which will not be described in detail in this application scenario. For the specific display method of the reset control area 1303 shown in Figure 13, please refer to the display method of the first character string located in the reset control area 605 shown in Figure 7, which will not be described in detail in this application scenario. For the specific display method of the reset control area 1304 shown in Figure 13, please refer to Figure 10 for details, which will not be described in detail in this application scenario.

For another application scenario, please see Figures 14, 15 and 16, where Figure 14 shows an example diagram of the contact application of a terminal device in an English usage environment, Figure 15 shows an example diagram of the contact application of a terminal device in a Portuguese usage environment, and Figure 16 shows an example diagram of the contact application of a terminal device in a Portuguese usage environment using the method shown in this embodiment.

It should be noted that this application scenario is illustrated by applying a terminal device in an English usage environment to a Portuguese usage environment as an example, and is not limited thereto.

It should also be clarified that in order to better understand this application scenario, the boundaries of the control area and the reset control area are displayed as shown in Figures 14 to 16, but in specific applications, the boundaries of the control area and the reset control area are not displayed, that is, the boundaries of the control area and the reset control area are invisible.

In this application scenario, each control area displayed on the Contacts application only displays strings.

When the terminal device shown in FIG14 is applied to a Portuguese usage environment, the character strings in each control area are translated into Portuguese, as shown in FIG15 .

As shown in Figures 14 and 15, the display method in each control area will change in different usage environments. Specifically, in the English usage environment, as shown in Figure 14, the character strings located in each control area will not be displayed in line breaks, which makes it easier for users to understand the instructions represented by the character strings in each control area, and because the character strings will not be displayed in line breaks, the efficiency of users understanding the meaning of the character strings in each control area is improved. However, when the terminal device shown in Figure 14 is applied to a Portuguese usage environment, most of the character strings in the control area need to be displayed in line breaks. For example, in control area 1401, the English character string "All Calls" is translated into Portuguese as "De todas as chamadas". It can be seen that the Portuguese character string is longer than the length of control area 1401, so the Portuguese character string needs to be displayed in separate lines. Due to the truncated display of the character string, the efficiency of users understanding the meaning of the character string is reduced.

In this application scenario, when the terminal device shown in Figure 14 is applied to the Portuguese usage environment, the terminal device can automatically reset the sub-area, that is, reset each of the control areas included in the sub-area to the reset control area. The specific process of resetting the control area to the reset control area is shown in step 303 shown in Figure 3, and will not be repeated in this application scenario.

It can be seen that in this application scenario, the gap between any two adjacent reset control areas is deleted, thereby expanding the length of the area for displaying character strings in each reset control area.

Among them, for the specific display method of the reset control area 1601 shown in Figure 16, please refer to the display method of the fourth character string located in the reset control area 1001 shown in Figure 10, and the specific details will not be repeated in this application scenario. For the specific display method of the reset control area 1602 shown in Figure 16, please refer to the display method of the first character string located in the reset control area 605 shown in Figure 8, and the specific details will not be repeated in this application scenario. For the specific display method of the reset control area 1603 shown in Figure 16, please refer to Figure 10 for details, and the specific details will not be repeated in this application scenario.

For another application scenario, please see Figures 17, 18 and 19, where Figure 17 shows an example diagram of a news application of a terminal device in a Chinese usage environment, Figure 18 shows an example diagram of a news application of a terminal device in a Spanish usage environment, and Figure 19 shows an example diagram of a news application application of a terminal device applying the method shown in this embodiment in a Spanish usage environment.

This embodiment takes Tencent News as an example of a news application. It should be noted that this embodiment is merely illustrative of the news application and can be applied to the interface of any application in specific applications.

It should be noted that this application scenario is illustrated by applying a terminal device in a Chinese usage environment to a Spanish usage environment as an example, and is not limited thereto.

It should also be clarified that in order to better understand this application scenario, the boundaries of the control area and the reset control area are displayed as shown in Figures 17 to 19, but in specific applications, the boundaries of the control area and the reset control area are not displayed, that is, the boundaries of the control area and the reset control area are invisible.

In this application scenario, each control area displayed on the news application only displays a string.

When the terminal device shown in FIG17 is applied to a Spanish usage environment, the character strings in each control area are translated into Spanish, as shown in FIG18 .

As shown in Figure 17, the display interface of the news application includes a navigation bar 1701 for displaying various functions for navigating news. The navigation bar displays multiple control areas, and the character strings displayed in each control area are used to navigate to specific types of news. For example, when the user touches the character string "Entertainment" in the control area, the news display bar 1702 can display news corresponding to the "Entertainment" type.

As shown in Figures 17 and 18, the display method in each control area will change in different usage environments. Specifically, in the Chinese usage environment, as shown in Figure 17, the character strings located in each control area will not be displayed in line breaks, which makes it easier for users to understand the instructions represented by the character strings in each control area, and because the character strings will not be displayed in line breaks, the efficiency of users understanding the meaning of the character strings in each control area is improved. However, when the terminal device shown in Figure 17 is applied to a Spanish usage environment, most of the character strings in the control area need to be displayed in line breaks. For example, in control area 1702, the Chinese character string "科技" is translated into Spanish as "La ciencia y la tecnología". It can be seen that the Spanish character string is longer than the length of control area 1703, so the Spanish character string needs to be displayed in separate lines. Due to the truncated display of the character string, the efficiency of users understanding the meaning of the character string is reduced.

In this application scenario, when the terminal device shown in Figure 17 is applied to a Spanish usage environment, the terminal device can automatically reset the sub-area, that is, reset each of the control areas included in the sub-area to a reset control area. The specific process of resetting the control area to the reset control area is shown in step 303 of Figure 3, and will not be elaborated in this application scenario.

It can be seen that in this application scenario, the gap between any two adjacent reset control areas is deleted, thereby expanding the length of the area for displaying character strings in each reset control area.

Among them, for the specific display method of the reset control area 1901 shown in Figure 19, please refer to the display method of the first character string located in the reset control area 605 shown in Figure 8, and the specific details will not be repeated in this application scenario. For the specific display method of the reset control area 1902 shown in Figure 19, please refer to Figure 10 for details, and the specific details will not be repeated in this application scenario.

It can be seen that by adopting the method shown in this embodiment, the display area of the control area can be reset to form a reset control area, and the length of the reset control area is greater than the length of the control area, thereby increasing the length of the area capable of displaying character strings, and if the length of the character string located in the reset control area is greater than the length of the reset control area, the character string can be extended to at least one side, and/or the character string can be reduced, thereby avoiding line wrapping of the character string located in the reset control area or reducing the number of lines of the character string located in the reset control area, thereby reducing the number of times the character string is truncated and improving the efficiency of the user in reading the character string.
