detailed description

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the portable terminal is taken as an example of a mobile communication terminal. Also, in the drawings, the dimensions of parts are appropriately exaggerated for clarity.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a portable terminal according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the portable terminal according to the present invention may include a display unit 100 , an application detection unit 200 , an application judgment unit 300 , a reminder type detection unit 400 , a comparison unit 500 , a queue setting unit 600 , and a storage unit 700 . These units can be realized by a general-purpose hardware processor, can also be realized by a dedicated hardware processor such as a dedicated chip, and can also be completely realized by a computer program in software.

The display unit 100 displays various information, such as date, time, picture, video, etc., to the user through the screen of the portable terminal. Moreover, the display unit 100 may provide various display screens to the user, and the display screens may include a status bar, a main screen, a notification panel, and the like. In this embodiment, the display unit 100 includes a status bar setting module 110 for setting a plurality of display spaces for displaying status icons of various applications in the status bar on the screen.

Applications of the portable terminal can be broadly classified into system applications and third-party applications. Usually, each application has a corresponding status icon, and those system applications without a status icon can be uniformly displayed with a system-specific icon. Accordingly, the execution status of various applications of the portable terminal can be confirmed through the status bar on the screen of the portable terminal.

When the user clicks and drags the status bar sideways (expanded) to display the notification panel, the status icons and associated character messages displayed in each display space of the status bar will be displayed in the notification panel in the form of a list, and when the user When an action is taken on each record on the list, the corresponding status icon will disappear from the notification panel and status bar.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the status bar of the screen of the portable terminal according to the present invention. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a state of cyclically displaying state icons according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 , the status bar setting module 110 sets 5 display spaces in the status bar. At this time, the sizes of the five display spaces may be the same or different from each other.

In this embodiment, these display spaces can be classified into normal display spaces and dynamic display spaces. Preferably, the display unit 100 can determine whether to display the status icon of the application in the normal display space or the dynamic display space according to the reminder type of each activated application.

Preferably, the reminder type of the application may include an application that needs to remind the user continuously (hereinafter referred to as a continuous reminder application) and an application that can remind the user intermittently (hereinafter referred to as an intermittent reminder application).

Preferably, the normal display space can be used to display the status icon of the continuous reminder application, and the dynamic display space can be used to display the status icon of the intermittent reminder application. In other words, the normal display space can be used to display status icons of applications that do not change greatly in a short period of time, and the dynamic display space can be used to display status icons of applications that are activated at any point in time (for example, a social application).

Specifically, the status icons of system applications or third-party applications that are activated after the portable terminal is started or initialized and need to continuously remind the user are displayed in the normal display space. For example, the normal display space can display system time, signal strength, battery level, system update reminder, etc. The dynamic display space is usually used to display status icons of system applications or third-party applications that change status at any time during the operation of the portable terminal and can intermittently remind the user. For example, status icons for input methods, status icons for social apps, etc.

Moreover, the classification of the continuous reminder application or the intermittent reminder application can follow the factory setting, or can be set arbitrarily by the user and stored in the storage unit 700 for use.

In the present invention, the application detection unit 200 can be used to detect which applications are activated. At this time, the meaning of activation includes not only the startup of the application, but also the state changes that occur during the running of the application.

For example, after the portable terminal is started or initialized, the application detection unit 200 detects system applications or third-party applications running by default, such as detecting applications related to system time, signal strength, and remaining battery power. Alternatively, during the operation of the portable terminal, the application detection unit 200 detects a system application or a third-party application whose state changes.

Moreover, in the present invention, the application judging unit 300 can be used to judge whether the status icon of the activated application needs to be displayed in the status bar.

At this time, the application that needs to display the status icon on the status bar can be set and saved by the user in advance, or the factory setting can be used.

Accordingly, the application judging unit 300 can judge whether the activated system application or third-party application matches the preset and stored application, so that the display unit 100 can display only the preset and stored applications in each display space of the status bar. Stored app-consistent app status icon.

Therefore, in the present invention, only status icons of system applications or third-party applications filtered out by the application determining unit 300 may be displayed in the display space of the status bar, thereby simplifying the status bar.

The reminder type detecting unit 400 can detect the reminder types of the applications screened out by the application judging unit 300 to determine whether these applications belong to continuous reminder applications or intermittent reminder applications. Specifically, the reminder type detection unit 400 may determine whether the applications screened out by the application determination unit 300 belong to continuous reminder applications or intermittent reminder applications based on the application reminder type list set in advance by the user.

Thus, the display unit 100 allocates the status icons to be displayed in the status bar to the dynamic display space or the normal display space according to the detection result of the reminder type detection unit 400 .

In the present invention, when the number of status icons to be displayed on the status bar exceeds the number of display spaces in the status bar, the normal display space and the dynamic display space display each status icon cyclically according to a predetermined sequence.

Preferably, the queues may include system application queues, third-party application queues, new application queues, and message queues.

At this time, the status icons classified into the system application queue and the third-party application queue can be displayed in the normal display space, and the status icons classified into the new application queue and message queue can be displayed in the dynamic display space. Preferably, the status icon of the activated application and associated characters (reminder message) of the application are included in the message queue.

For example, in this embodiment, display spaces 1, 4, and 5 can be used as normal display spaces, and display spaces 2 and 3 can be used as dynamic display spaces. But the present invention is not limited thereto, the quantity of display space can be arbitrarily set and allocated according to the size of the screen picture of the portable terminal, and the quantity of normal display space and dynamic display space can also be according to the total number of display space and the size of the screen picture Set and adjust freely.

In an embodiment, the display unit 100 further includes an adjustment module 120, and the adjustment module 120 may include a normal display space adjustment module, a dynamic display space adjustment module, and a status icon adjustment module. Wherein, the normal display space adjustment module can adjust the size (for example, length) of the normal display space according to the size or format of the status icons or reminder messages displayed in the normal display space. For example, when the display space 1 displays the system time, if the format of the system time changes from "22:37" to "22:37", the normal display space adjustment module appropriately increases the length and/or height of the display space 1. The status icon adjustment module is used to adjust the size of the status icon or associated characters according to the size of the display space without changing the size of the display space.

In another embodiment, the size of each display space is fixed, and when the size of the reminder message to be displayed exceeds the size of the corresponding display space, the size of the status icon can be dynamically adjusted or the reminder message can be scrolled (scroll up and down or Scroll left and right) to display.

In one embodiment, the display spaces 1 , 4 and 5 as normal display spaces can display status icons (for example, communication signal strength, battery remaining level, Bluetooth, etc.) that continuously remind applications. In this embodiment, when the number of status icons that need to be displayed in the normal display space is greater than the number of the normal display space, the status icons of the continuous reminder application will be arranged in the system application queue or the third-party application queue to be cycled show. At this time, the normal display space adjustment module can also dynamically adjust the length and/or height of the display spaces 4 and 5 according to the size of the status icons displayed in the display spaces 4 and 5 .

Moreover, in an embodiment, the display spaces 2 and 3 are dynamic display spaces that can display status icons of intermittent reminder applications (eg, short messages, input methods). In this embodiment, when the number of status icons that need to be displayed in the dynamic display space is greater than the number of the dynamic display space, the status icons of the intermittent reminder application are arranged in the new application queue for display, and when the status icons of the intermittent reminder application When changing the associated reminder characters, they are arranged in the message queue for display. Wherein, the status icons and reminder characters in the message queue can be displayed in the display space 3, and the dynamic display space adjustment module will dynamically adjust the length or height of the display space 3 at this time. By displaying the status icon and associated reminder characters in the display space 3 located in the middle of the status bar, the space can be saved and the display effect can be highlighted.

The comparison unit 500 is used to compare the number of status icons to be displayed in each display space with the number of display spaces. Specifically, the comparison unit 500 compares the number of status icons to be displayed in the dynamic display space with the number of dynamic display spaces , or compare the number of hungry status icons that need to be displayed in the normal display space with the number of the normal display space.

Therefore, when the result of comparison by the comparing unit 500 is that the number of status icons is less than or equal to the number of dynamic display spaces or normal display spaces, the corresponding status icons can be directly displayed in the dynamic display space or normal display space. However, when the number of status icons is greater than that of the dynamic display space or the normal display space, the status icons cannot be directly displayed in the dynamic display space or the normal display space.

Accordingly, the present invention also includes a queue setting unit 600. When the number of status icons is greater than the number of dynamic display spaces or normal display spaces, according to the reminder type of each application, the status icons of each application can be included in the queue setting unit 600. Among the various queues, the status icons are thus displayed cyclically.

Specifically, the queue setting unit 600 puts the status icons of the system applications in the continuous reminder application into the system application queue, puts the status icons of the third-party applications in the continuous reminder application into the third-party application queue, and puts the intermittent reminder The status icon of the application (including system application and third-party application) is included in the new application queue, and when the application that intermittently reminds the user has a reminder character (message), the status icon of the application and the reminder character are included in the message queue among.

At this time, as mentioned above, the status icons in the system application queue and the third-party application queue can be displayed in the normal display space, and the status icons of the new application queue and the status icons in the message queue and associated reminder characters can be displayed in the dynamic display space.

Moreover, when the user performs corresponding operations on the application corresponding to the status icon in the dynamic display space (confirmation, closing the application or other operations according to the prompts) or performs an operation to cancel the display of the status icon in the normal display space or When the relevant application is closed, the queue setting unit 600 may delete the corresponding status icon and associated reminder characters in the corresponding queue.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 4 , the status icons or associated reminder characters in each queue can be displayed circularly in their respective display spaces (normal display space or dynamic display space).

Preferably, in the present invention, the display unit 100 may further include a display mode setting module 130 for setting the display mode of each status icon and reminder character. The display mode setting module 130 can set the display time, cycle number (or cycle period) of the status icons or reminder characters in each queue, the switching mode of each status icon in the same queue, and the like. For example, the display mode setting module 130 can be set to maintain each status icon for 5 cycles, each display time is maintained for 1.5 seconds, and set to a gradual switching mode.

For status icons in the normal display space, generally speaking, the cycle of status changes is relatively long (for example, changes in power or signal strength), so the display mode setting module 130 can set the cycle period of the status icons in the normal display space to be relatively dynamic The status icon showing spaces has a longer cycle time.

When the number of cycles is set to be limited and exceeds the predetermined number of times, the display mode setting module 130 may use a dedicated status icon with a number to indicate the status icon of such an application that has exceeded the number of times or timed out. At this time, the dedicated status icon can be displayed cyclically together with other status icons in each display space, or can be continuously displayed in a single display space.

Moreover, the display mode setting module 130 can display each status icon in an unlimited number of cycles.

When each status icon is grouped into each queue and displayed cyclically, in order to quickly confirm the status icon being circulated, the user can directly confirm by pulling down the status bar to expand the notification panel.

Although in the above description, it is described that the display unit is provided with one status bar, the present invention is not limited thereto, and also includes the situation when more than one status bar is provided. For example, when the display unit is provided with two status bars, one of the status bars can be used as a normal display space, and the other status bar can be used as a dynamic display space.

Moreover, the position of the status bar is not limited to the upper side of the screen of the portable terminal, and the status bar in normal mode or hidden mode can be set on the left, right and lower sides.

Moreover, in the above description, the situation that the display space is set to 5, wherein the normal display space is 3, and the dynamic display space is 2 is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The actual space size sets the number of display spaces arbitrarily, and adjusts the position and quantity of normal display space and dynamic display space arbitrarily according to needs.

Hereinafter, the status icon display method of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a method for displaying status icons in a status bar of a portable terminal according to the present invention. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of assigning status icons in FIG. 5 .

The status icon display method according to the present invention may include the following steps: assign status icons to be displayed in the status bar to the dynamic display space or the normal display space (S100); compare whether the number of the status icons is larger than the dynamic display space or The number of normal display spaces (S200); when the number of the status icons is greater than the number of the dynamic display space or the number of normal display spaces, according to the reminder type of the application, the status icons of each application are classified into each queue (S300 ); cyclically display the status icons in each queue in the corresponding normal display space or dynamic display space (S400).

Wherein, in step S100, according to the reminder type of each application, it is determined whether to allocate the status icon of the application to the dynamic display space or the normal display space.

Therefore, step S100 may also include the following steps: detecting the activated application (S101); judging whether the status icon of the activated application needs to be displayed on the status bar (S102); Detecting the reminder type of the application (S103); assigning the status icon of the application to the normal display space or the dynamic display space of the status bar according to the detected reminder type of the application (S104).

In step S102, it may be determined whether the status icon of the activated application needs to be displayed in the status bar according to the user's prior settings or the default application list, that is, when the activated application is included in the user settings or the default list When it is selected, it is determined that its status icon needs to be displayed on the status bar.

As mentioned above, the reminder type of the application may include a continuous reminder application and an intermittent reminder application.

Moreover, in step S103, it is determined whether the activated application belongs to an application for continuously reminding the user or an application for intermittently reminding the user according to the application list set in advance or by default by the user.

Moreover, before step S100, an application reminder type setting step may also be included to set and save the reminder type of each application.

As a result of executing step S200, when the number of status icons is less than the number of dynamic display spaces or normal display spaces, each status icon can be directly displayed in the corresponding display space of the status bar (S210).

However, if the result of executing step S200 is that the number of status icons is greater than the number of dynamic display spaces or normal display spaces, each status icon cannot be directly displayed in the corresponding display space.

Moreover, in the step S300, the status icon of the system application in the continuous reminder application is included in the system application queue, and the status icon of the third-party application containing the status icon in the continuous reminder application is included in the third-party application queue. Application queue, put the status icons of intermittent reminder applications (including system applications and third-party applications) into the new application queue, and when the intermittent reminder application has a reminder character (message), the status icon of the application and the reminder character will be grouped together into the message queue.

Preferably, in step S400, the status icons in the system application queue and the third-party application queue can be displayed in the normal display space, and the status icons or status icons and reminder characters in the new application queue and message queue can be displayed in the dynamic display space .

Preferably, the step S400 may further include the step of dynamically adjusting the size (length and/or height) of each display space according to the size (length and/or height) of the status icon or reminder character to be displayed. At this time, this step may also be performed as dynamically adjusting the size of the status icon or reminder character according to the size of the display space.

Preferably, the step S400 may further include the step of: setting at least one of display time, cycle times (or cycle period), and switching modes of status icons or reminder characters in each queue.

Moreover, after the step S400, a step may also be included: when the user performs a corresponding operation on the application corresponding to the status icon in the dynamic display space (confirm, close the application, or complete other operations according to the prompt), or perform an operation on the application displayed on the When the status icon in the normal display space performs an operation of canceling the display or closing the corresponding application, the corresponding status icon and associated reminder characters can be deleted in the corresponding queue.

Moreover, the step S400 may further include the step of: when the display times of each status icon in the dynamic display space exceeds the predetermined number of cycles, display them uniformly through dedicated status icons with quantity display. At this time, the dedicated status icon can be displayed cyclically together with other status icons in each display space, or can be continuously displayed in a single display space.

And, when only one status icon remains in each queue, the status icons are continuously displayed.

Thereby, the status bar of the mobile terminal can be simplified, and the simplicity of the screen of the mobile terminal can be improved.
