Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for displaying an operation interface, and a touchscreen terminal, where the method includes: receiving a touch operation that is input by a user in a first set area on a touchscreen; and when it is detected that the touch operation ends in a second set area, displaying, on the touchscreen, a second operation interface corresponding to the second set area. According to this solution, a needed operation interface can be obtained by means of one touch operation, and complex operation steps do not need to be performed to switch between operation interfaces.

Claims (40)

1. A method for displaying operating interfaces, comprising:

receiving a completed pull-down operation in a first set area on a touchscreen to show a first operating interface that is hidden when a home screen is displayed, wherein the first operating interface comprises a notification interface;

displaying the first operating interface corresponding to the first set area in a top-down continuous manner in response to receiving the completed pull-down operation, wherein the first operating interface is hidden when the home screen is displayed;

receiving a touch operation for switching from the first operating interface when the first operating interface is displayed; and

displaying a second operating interface on the touchscreen in response to the touch operation,

wherein the first operating interface is different from the second operating interface, and

wherein at least a portion of the first operating interface and at least a portion of the second operating interface are displayed simultaneously when switching from the first operating interface to the second operating interface.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a second set area adjacent to the first set area.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the completed pull-down operation starts at a top edge of the touchscreen and ends away from the top edge of the touchscreen.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the touch operation comprises a left-to-right touch operation, wherein the completed pull-down operation begins in a top edge of the touchscreen, and wherein the top edge of the touchscreen comprises a top left edge of the touchscreen.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first operating interface comprises first textual content, wherein the second operating interface comprises second textual content, and wherein the first textual content and the second textual content comprises different information.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a plurality of icon buttons on the home screen before receiving the completed pull-down operation.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the completed pull-down operation comprises receiving a slide gesture from a start point within the first set area to an end point within the first set area.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first operating interface comprises a first set of buttons, and wherein the second operating interface comprises a second set of buttons.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the completed pull-down operation comprises receiving a slide gesture from a start point within the first set area to an end point within the first set area, wherein the first operating interface comprises a first set of buttons, and wherein the second operating interface comprises a second set of buttons.

10. An apparatus for displaying operating interfaces, comprising:

a processor configured to:

receive a completed pull-down operation in a first set area on a touchscreen to show a first operating interface that is hidden when a home screen is displayed, wherein the first operating interface comprises a notification interface;

display the first operating interface corresponding to the first set area in a top-down continuous manner in response to receiving the completed pull-down operation,

wherein the first operating interface is hidden when the home screen is displayed;

receive a touch operation for switching from the first operating interface when the first operating interface is displayed; and

display a second operating interface on the touchscreen in response to the touch operation,

wherein the first operating interface is different from the second operating interface, and

wherein at least a portion of the first operating interface and at least a portion of the second operating interface are displayed simultaneously when switching from the first operating interface to the second operating interface.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the touch operation comprises a left-to-right touch operation, wherein the completed pull-down operation begins in a top edge of the touchscreen, and wherein the top edge of the touchscreen comprises a top left edge of the touchscreen.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the first operating interface comprises first textual content, wherein the second operating interface comprises second textual content, and wherein the first textual content and the second textual content comprises different information.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the completed pull-down operation comprises receiving a slide gesture from a start point within the first set area to an end point within the first set area.

14. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the first operating interface comprises a first set of buttons, and wherein the second operating interface comprises a second set of buttons.

15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the completed pull-down operation comprises receiving a slide gesture from a start point within the first set area to an end point within the first set area, wherein the first operating interface comprises a first set of buttons, and wherein the second operating interface comprises a second set of buttons.

16. A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions for storage on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a processor, cause an apparatus to:

receive a completed pull-down operation in a first set area on a touchscreen to show a first operating interface that is hidden when a home screen is displayed, wherein the first operating interface comprises a notification interface;

display the first operating interface corresponding to the first set area in a top-down continuous manner in response to receiving the completed pull-down operation, wherein the first operating interface is hidden when the home screen is displayed;

receive a touch operation for switching from the first operating interface when the first operating interface is displayed; and

display a second operating interface on the touchscreen in response to the touch operation,

wherein the first operating interface is different from the second operating interface, and

wherein at least a portion of the first operating interface and at least a portion of the second operating interface are displayed simultaneously when switching from the first operating interface to the second operating interface.

17. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein the touch operation comprises a left-to-right touch operation, wherein the completed pull-down operation begins in a top edge of the touchscreen, and wherein the top edge of the touchscreen comprises a top left edge of the touchscreen.

18. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein the first operating interface comprises first textual content, wherein the second operating interface comprises second textual content, and wherein the first textual content and the second textual content comprises different information.

19. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein the completed pull-down operation comprises receiving a slide gesture from a start point within the first set area to an end point within the first set area.

20. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein the first operating interface comprises a first set of buttons, and wherein the second operating interface comprises a second set of buttons.
