Abstract

An electronic device includes a display, a global positioning unit, a processor, and a memory. The global positioning unit establishes a location of the electronic device. The processor displays a user interface on the display, detects whether the user interface receives a predetermined gesture applied thereon, obtains a name of the location where the electronic device is located and a type of location corresponding to the name of the location when the predetermined gesture applied on the user interface is detected, and recommends relevant data on the user interface according to the type of location or the name of the location.

Claims (38)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

a global positioning unit for establishing a location of the electronic device;

a processor; and

a memory configured to store a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

display a user interface on the display, wherein the user interface is a widget;

detect whether the user interface receives a predetermined gesture applied thereon, wherein the predetermined gesture is a single touch gesture or a long press gesture;

obtain, when the predetermined gesture applied on the user interface is detected, a name of the location where the electronic device is located and a type of location corresponding to the name of the location; and

recommend, according to the type of location or the name of the location, one or more applications by displaying icons of the one or more applications in an outer periphery of the user interface.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the icons of the one or more applications are displayed in sequence as an arc around the outer periphery of the user interface.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is displayed on a main page of the display, or the user interface is displayed on an interface of the display different from the main page.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor obtains the name of the location and the type of location where the electronic device is located from a designated map according to the location of the electronic device.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the widget is displayed in a default position of the display, and the processor is further caused to:

adjust the default position of the widget in response to a dragging gesture applied on the widget.

6. A recommendation method implemented in an electronic device comprising a display and a global positioning unit, the method comprising:

establishing a location of the electronic device;

displaying a user interface on the display, wherein the user interface is a widget;

detecting whether the user interface receives a predetermined gesture applied thereon, wherein the predetermined gesture is a single touch gesture or a long press gesture;

obtaining, when the predetermined gesture applied on the user interface is detected, a name of the location where the electronic device is located and a type of location corresponding to the name of the location; and

recommending, according to the type of location or the name of the location, one or more applications by displaying icons of the one or more applications in an outer periphery of the user interface.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the icons of the one or more applications are displayed in sequence as an arc around the outer periphery of the user interface.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the user interface is displayed on a main page of the display, or the user interface is displayed on an interface of the display different from the main page.

9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising obtaining the name of the location and the type of location where the electronic device is located from a designated map according to the location of the electronic device.

10. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the widget is displayed in a default position of the display, and the method further comprises:

adjusting the default position of the widget in response to a dragging gesture applied on the widget.

11. A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device comprising a display and a global positioning unit, causes the least one processor to execute instructions of a recommendation method, the method comprising:

establishing a location of the electronic device;

displaying a user interface on the display, wherein the user interface is a widget;

detecting whether the user interface receives a predetermined gesture applied thereon, wherein the predetermined gesture is a single touch gesture or a long press gesture;

obtaining, when the predetermined gesture applied on the user interface is detected, a name of the location where the electronic device is located and a type of location corresponding to the name of the location; and

recommending, according to the type of location or the name of the location, one or more applications by displaying icons of the one or more applications in an outer periphery of the user interface.

12. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the icons of the one or more applications are displayed in sequence as an arc around the outer periphery of the user interface.

13. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the user interface is displayed on a main page of the display, or the user interface is displayed on an interface of the display different from the main page.

14. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises obtaining the name of the location and the type of location where the electronic device is located from a designated map according to the location of the electronic device.

15. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 11 ,

wherein the widget is displayed in a default position of the display, and the method further comprises:

adjusting the default position of the widget in response to a dragging gesture applied on the widget.
