Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a terminal multiselection operation method and a terminal, which relate to the field of terminals and can implement a batch operation on multiple entries of displayed entries and increase an operation speed of a user. An embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a terminal multiselection operation method. The method includes receiving a first operation of a user when content currently displayed by a touchscreen is displayed entries. The displayed entries correspond to data items stored in a terminal. The method further includes activating the selection mode of the touchscreen when the first operation is a first preset operation for activating a selection mode. The method further includes receiving a second operation of the user and carrying out a second preset operation on all entries along a track of the second operation.

Claims (50)

1 . A method for performing multiselection operation on a terminal, comprising:

receiving a first operation of a user on a touchscreen when the touchscreen displays content comprising displayed entries corresponding to data items stored in the terminal;

activating, when the first operation is a first preset operation, a selection mode of the terminal;

receiving a second operation of the user; and

performing a second preset operation on all entries along a track of the second operation, and wherein the second preset operation is a selection operation or a deselection operation carried out on the entries.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

in the selection mode, after the terminal receives an operation of the user on the touchscreen, performing a batch operation on the displayed entries along a track of the operation.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first preset operation for activating the selection mode is activated by using a specific key, and wherein the specific key is a virtual key.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal using a display ground color to indicate the selection mode is activated.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second operation is a tap-selection operation.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second operation is a sliding operation, and wherein a sliding track of the sliding operation is continuous.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second operation is a sliding operation, and wherein a sliding track of the sliding operation is discontinuous.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

after performing the second preset operation on all entries along a track of the second operation, prompting the user which entry has been selected.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the track of the second operation reaches an upper/lower edge of a current operation region, swiping the content currently displayed by the touchscreen up/down, and the previously selected or deselected content is stored.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , after performing the second preset operation on all entries along a track of the second operation, further comprising:

receiving a third operation of the user; and

disabling, when the third operation is a third preset operation, the selection mode.

11 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the third preset operation is activated by using a specific key, and wherein the specific key is a virtual key.

12 . The method according to claim 1 , after performing the second preset operation on all entries along a track of the second operation, further comprising:

receiving a third operation of the user; and

triggering an application to send the selected content, and disabling the selection mode.

13 . The method according to claim 1 , after performing the second preset operation on all entries along a track of the second operation, further comprising:

receiving a third operation of the user;

triggering an function, wherein the function corresponding to the selected content; and

disabling the selection mode.

14 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein performing the second preset operation on all entries along a track of the second operation comprises:

carrying out, when an entry along the track of the second operation is an unselected entry, a selection operation on the entry; and

carrying out, when an entry along the track of the second operation is a selected entry, a deselection operation on the entry.

15 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein performing the second preset operation on all entries along a track of the second operation comprises:

uniformly carrying out, when multiple entries along the track of the second operation include both selected entries and unselected entries, a selection operation or a deselection operation on the multiple entries along the track of the second operation.

16 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein performing the second preset operation on all entries along a track of the second operation comprises:

detecting, when multiple entries along the track of the second operation include both selected entries and unselected entries, a quantity of selected entries and a quantity of unselected entries in the multiple entries along the track of the second operation;

executing, when the quantity of selected entries in the multiple entries along the track of the second operation is not less than the quantity of unselected entries, a deselection operation on the multiple entries along the track of the second operation; and

executing, when the quantity of selected entries in the multiple entries along the track of the second operation is less than the quantity of unselected entries, a selection operation on the multiple entries along the track of the second operation.

17 . The method according to claim 1 , after performing the second preset operation on all entries along a track of the second operation, further comprising at least one of:

swiping, when the track of the second operation of the user reaches an upper/lower edge of a current operation region, content currently displayed by the touchscreen up/down; and

swiping, when the track of the second operation of the user reaches a left/right edge of a current operation region, content currently displayed by the touchscreen left/right.

18 . A terminal, comprising:

a memory storage comprising instructions; and

one or more processors in communication with the memory and a touch screen, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:

receive a first operation of a user on the touchscreen when the touchscreen displays content comprising displayed entries corresponding to data items stored in a terminal;

activate, when the first operation is a first preset operation, a selection mode of the terminal;

receive a second operation of the user; and

perform a second preset operation on all entries along a track of the second operation, and wherein the second preset operation is a selection operation or a deselection operation carried out on the entries.

19 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform:

receiving a first operation of a user on a touchscreen when the touchscreen displays content comprising displayed entries corresponding to data items stored in a terminal;

activating, when the first operation is a first preset operation, a selection mode of the terminal;

receiving a second operation of the user; and

performing a second preset operation on all entries along a track of the second operation, and wherein the second preset operation is a selection operation or a deselection operation carried out on the entries.
