Methods and apparatuses for window display, and methods and apparatuses for touch-operating an application

Abstract

Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for window display, and methods and apparatuses for touch-operating an application. The method for touch-operating an application includes generating an operation instruction for a main menu displayed on a screen based on a first input operation on a region of the screen corresponding to the main menu, and for each of M touch areas, adjusting the display position of the touch area from a first position to a second position based on the operation instructions, wherein the positive direction of display for graphics and/or texts in at least one of the M touch areas is different between the first position and the second position. An application enabling instruction is generated based on an operation on a first touch area of the M touch areas for enabling an application corresponding to the first touch area, and the application corresponding to the first touch area is enabled based on the application enabling instruction. The present application also discloses an apparatus for implementing the method.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for touch-operating an application in a data processing terminal, wherein the data processing terminal comprises a screen having a multi-touch function, and displays in operation at least a main menu on the screen, the main menu comprises M touch areas each corresponding to an application, and graphics and/or texts in each of the M touch areas can be displayed in at least two different positive directions, wherein M is an integer greater than 1, the method comprising:
 generating an operation instruction for the main menu based on a first input operation on a region of the screen corresponding to the main menu;   for each of the M touch areas, adjusting the display position of the touch area from a first position to a second position based on the operation instruction, wherein the positive direction for graphics and/or texts in at least one of the M touch areas is different between the first position and the second position;   generating an application enabling instruction based on an operation on a first touch area of the M touch areas for enabling an application corresponding to the first touch area; and   enabling the application corresponding to the first touch area based on the application enabling instruction.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein each of the M touch areas of the main menu is, at both of its sides, adjacent to one of the touch areas. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said generating an operation instruction for the main menu based on a first input operation on a region of the screen corresponding to the main menu comprises:
 generating an operation instruction for the main menu based on a rotation operation with a radian on a region of the screen corresponding to the main menu; or   generating an operation instruction for the main menu based on a moving operation along a line on a region of the screen corresponding to the main menu; or   generating an operation instruction for the main menu based on a click operation on an initial position of any of the M touch areas and a click operation on a target position on a region of the screen corresponding to the main menu.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the M touch areas has at least one corresponding sub touch area; and
 the method further comprises:
 generating a sub touch area enabling instruction based on a second input operation on the touch area having the corresponding sub touch area; and 
 enabling the sub touch area corresponding to the touch area based on the sub touch area enabling instruction. 
   
     
     
         5 . An apparatus for touch-operating an application in a data processing terminal, wherein the data processing terminal comprises a screen having a multi-touch function, and displays in operation at least a main menu on the screen, the main menu comprises M touch areas each corresponding to an application, and graphics and/or texts in each of the M touch areas can be displayed in at least two different positive directions, wherein M is an integer greater than 1, the apparatus comprising:
 a first generation module configured to generate an operation instruction for the main menu based on a first input operation on a region of the screen corresponding to the main menu;   an adjustment module configured to, for each of the M touch areas, adjust the display position of the touch area from a first position to a second position based on the operation instruction, wherein the positive direction for graphics and/or texts in at least one of the M touch areas is different between the first position and the second position;   a second generation module configured to generate, based on an operation on a first touch area of the M touch areas, an application enabling instruction for enabling an application corresponding to the first touch area; and   an operation module configured to enable the application corresponding to the first touch area based on the application enabling instruction.   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein each of the M touch areas of the main menu is, at both of its sides, adjacent to one of the touch areas. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the first generation module is further configured to:
 generate an operation instruction for the main menu based on a rotation operation with a radian on a region of the screen corresponding to the main menu; or   generate an operation instruction for the main menu based on a moving operation along a line on a region of the screen corresponding to the main menu; or   generate an operation instruction for the main menu based on a click operation on an initial position of any of the M touch areas and a click operation on a target position on a region of the screen corresponding to the main menu.   
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein at least one of the M touch areas has at least one corresponding sub touch area;
 the second generation module is further configured to generate a sub touch area enabling instruction based on a second input operation on the touch area having the corresponding sub touch area; and   the operation module is further configured to enable the sub touch area corresponding to the touch area based on the sub touch area enabling instruction.
