Abstract
A portable electronic device and a one-hand touch operation method thereof are provided. A touch operation performed on a touch screen is detected. When a shift amount of the touch operation in a first direction is greater than a first threshold, whether to activate a one-hand mode is determined according to a shift amount of the touch operation in a second direction. When the one-hand mode is activated, the operation interface image is zoomed out or shifted, and displayed in a one-hand mode interface display region.
Claims6
A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a touch screen, displaying an operation interface image;
- a storage device, recording a plurality of instructions;
- and
- a processor, coupled to the touch screen and the storage device, and configured to execute the instructions to:
- detect a touch operation performed on the touch screen, wherein the touch operation includes an operation comprising movement in a first direction followed by movement in a second direction in a sequence, wherein the second direction is a vertical direction alongside a screen edge of the touch screen and the first direction is a horizontal direction inward from the screen edge of the touch screen to a center of the touch screen;
- determine whether a shift amount of the touch operation in the first direction is greater than a first non-zero threshold;
- in response to determining the shift amount of the touch operation is greater than the first threshold:
- activate a one-hand mode in response to determining a shift amount of the touch operation in the second direction is greater than a second non-zero threshold, and skip activating the one-hand mode and display another operation interface image in response to determining the shift amount of the touch operation in the second direction is not greater than the second threshold;
- provide a first visual prompt when the shift amount of the touch operation in the second direction increases to a preset value, the preset value being less than the second threshold, wherein the first visual prompt comprises separating an image boundary of the operation interface image from a screen edge of the touch screen;
- and
- zoom out or shift the operation interface image and display the operation interface image in a one-hand mode interface display region in response to the one-hand mode being activated.

A one-hand touch operation method, applied to a portable electronic device comprising a touch screen, the method comprising:
- detecting a touch operation performed on the touchscreen, wherein the touch operation includes an operation comprising movement in a first direction followed by movement in a second direction in a sequence, wherein the second direction is a vertical direction alongside a screen edge of the touch screen and the first direction is a horizontal direction inward from the screen edge of the touch screen to a center of the touch screen;
- determining whether a shift amount of the touch operation in the first direction is greater than a first non-zero threshold;
- in response to determining the shift amount of the touch operation is greater than the first threshold:
- activating a one-hand mode in response to determining a shift amount of the touch operation in the second direction is greater than a second non-zero threshold, and skip activating the one-hand mode and display another operation interface image in response to determining the shift amount of the touch operation in the second direction is not greater than the second threshold;
- wherein the shift amount of the touch operation in the second direction comprises a difference between a coordinate component of a touch start position of the touch operation in the second direction and a coordinate component of a touch end position of the touch operation in the second direction;
- providing a first visual prompt when the shift amount of the touch operation in the second direction increases to a preset value, the preset value being less than the second threshold, wherein the first visual prompt comprises separating an image boundary of the operation interface image from a second edge of the touch screen;
- and
- zooming out or shifting the operation interface image and displaying the operation interface image in a one-hand mode interface display region in response to the one-hand mode being activated.
