Method and apparatus for filtering object by using pressure

An apparatus for filtering an object, wherein the apparatus comprises:

• at least one processor;
• a display screen;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor, the programming instructions instruct the at least one processor to:
• display an object management interface on the display screen, wherein the object management interface contains objects of at least two object types, wherein the at least two object types include a first object type and a second object type, wherein one or more first objects of the first object type are presented on the display screen, and wherein one or more second objects of the second object type are presented on the display screen;
• detect a location on the displayed object management interface that is touched by a user, wherein the detection includes a detected pressure value applied to the touched location;
• determine, when the detected pressure value is greater than a preset pressure value threshold and when an object can be identified based on the touched location, a type of the object as the first object type, wherein determining the type of the object as the first object type comprises:
• when the detected pressure value is greater than the preset pressure value threshold and when the touched location corresponds to a blank area within the displayed object management interface:
• determining, according to a preset rule, a pressure value threshold interval in which the detected pressure value falls within;
• and
• determining the first object type according to the determined pressure value threshold interval, wherein in the preset rule, a different threshold interval corresponds to a different object type, the first object type is one of the at least two object types, and the blank area does not contain any object displayed within the object management interface;
• obtain, through filtering in the object management interface, all objects of the first object type;
• and
• in response to the obtaining of all objects of the first object type, present the obtained objects of the first object type on the display screen and filter out the one or more second objects of the second object type, wherein objects not of the first object type are not presented on the display screen, wherein at least one obtained object of the first object type on the display screen is not presented on the display screen when detecting the location on the displayed object management interface that is touched by the user, and wherein all the presented objects on the display screen have the same first object type and include the one or more first objects of the first object type.

A terminal, wherein the terminal comprises:

• a display screen;
• at least one processor;
• a memory;
• and
• a bus;
• and
• wherein the display screen, the at least one processor, and the memory are connected to and communicate with each other by using the bus;
• and
• wherein the display screen is configured to receive a user operation, wherein the memory stores a program and an instruction, and wherein the at least one processor invokes the program and the instruction that are in the memory to perform and implement, according to the user operation received by the display screen, a method comprising:
• displaying an object management interface on a display screen, wherein the object management interface contains objects of at least two object types, wherein the at least two object types include a first object type and a second object type, wherein one or more first objects of the first object type are presented on the display screen, and wherein one or more second objects of the second object type are presented on the display screen;
• detecting a location on the displayed object management interface that is touched by a user, wherein the detection includes a detected pressure value applied to the touched location;
• determining, when the detected pressure value is greater than a preset pressure value threshold and when an object can be identified based on the touched location, a type of the object as first object type, wherein determining the type of the object as the first object type comprises:
• when the detected pressure value is greater than the preset pressure value threshold and when the touched location corresponds to a blank area within the displayed object management interface:
• determining, according to a preset rule, a pressure value threshold interval in which the detected pressure value falls within;
• and
• determining the first object type according to the determined pressure value threshold interval, wherein in the preset rule, a different threshold interval corresponds to a different object type, the first object type is one of the at least two object types, and the blank area does not contain any object displayed within the object management interface;
• obtaining, through filtering in the object management interface, all objects of the first object type;
• and
• in response to the obtaining of all objects of the first object type, presenting the obtained objects of the first object type on the display screen and filtering out the one or more second objects of the second object type, wherein objects not of the first object type are not presented on the display screen, wherein at least one obtained object of the first object type on the display screen is not presented on the display screen when detecting the location on the displayed object management interface that is touched by the user, and wherein all the presented objects on the display screen have the same first object type and include the one or more first objects of the first object type.
