Method for controlling system bar of user equipment, and user equipment

A method for controlling a system bar of a user equipment, comprising:

• detecting a display status of the system bar, wherein the system bar is used to indicate system level information or provide a system level virtual operation button, and is presented in a designated display area in a screen;
• and
• when the system bar is presented on the screen of the user equipment, and time during which the system bar is presented on the screen of the user equipment reaches predetermined time, hiding the system bar in the screen of the user equipment;
• or
• when the system bar is not presented on the screen of the user equipment, receiving a second input to present the system bar, wherein the second input is a track moving from an edge of the screen to the center of the screen, and used to present the system bar in the screen of the user equipment.

A user equipment, comprising:

• a display unit;
• a detecting unit;
• a hiding unit;
• an invoking unit;
• and
• an input unit, wherein
• the display unit is configured to present a man-machine interaction interface of the user equipment according to information sent by the hiding unit and the invoking unit;
• the input unit is configured to receive an external input to generate a first input and a second input and send them to the hiding unit and the invoking unit, respectively;
• the detecting unit is configured to detect a display status of a system bar and send the detected display status to the hiding unit or the invoking unit, wherein the system bar is used to indicate system level information or provide a system level virtual operation button, and is presented in a designated display area in the display unit;
• and
• the hiding unit is configured to, when the detecting unit detects the display status of the system bar sent when the system bar is presented on the display unit of the user equipment and the presented system bar comprises a hidden button, receive a first input used to select the hidden button and input by the input unit to send information to the display unit so that the display unit hides the system bar, wherein the hidden button is used to hide the system bar in the display unit of the user equipment;
• or configured to hide the system bar in the display unit of the user equipment when the detecting unit detects that the system bar is presented on the display unit of the user equipment and time during which the system bar is presented on a screen of the user equipment reaches predetermined time;
• or
• the invoking unit is configured to, when the detecting unit detects the display status of the system bar sent when the system bar is not presented on the display unit of the user equipment, receive a second input which is input by the input unit to send information to the display unit so that the display unit displays the system bar, wherein the second input is a track moving from an edge of the display unit to the center of the display unit, and is used to present the system bar in the display unit of the user equipment.

An apparatus comprising:

• user equipment comprising a display unit and configured to present a man-machine interaction interface of the user equipment, wherein the user equipment is configured to receive an external input and to generate and transmit a first input and a second input, to detect a display status of a system bar and transmit the detected display status, wherein the system bar indicates system level information or provides a system level virtual operation button, and is presented in a designated display area of the display unit, and wherein the user equipment is configured to, when the user equipment detects the display status of the system bar sent when the system bar is presented on the display unit of the user equipment and the presented system bar comprises a hidden button, receive a first input used to select the hidden button and input by the input unit to send information to the display unit so that the display unit hides the system bar, wherein the hidden button is used to hide the system bar in the display unit of the user equipment;
• or configured to hide the system bar in the display unit of the user equipment when the detecting unit detects that the system bar is presented on the display unit of the user equipment and time during which the system bar is presented on a screen of the user equipment reaches predetermined time;
• or the user equipment is configured to, when the user equipment detects the display status of the system bar sent when the system bar is not presented on the display unit of the user equipment, receive a second input which is input by the input unit to send information to the display unit so that the display unit displays the system bar, wherein the second input is a track moving from an edge of the display unit to the center of the display unit, and is used to present the system bar in the display unit of the user equipment.
