  • Publication number: 20210020139
    Abstract: A picture obtaining method and apparatus and a picture processing method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: obtaining a grayscale image corresponding to a first picture and a first image, where a size of the first picture is equal to a size of the first image, the first image includes N parallel lines, a spacing between two adjacent lines does not exceed a spacing threshold, and N is an integer greater than 1; translating a pixel included in each line in the first image based on the grayscale image, to obtain a second image, where the second image includes a contour of an image in the first picture; and set a pixel value of each pixel included in each line in the second image, to obtain a second picture.

  • Patent number: 10852941
    Abstract: A graphic display method and apparatus are provided. In the graphic display method, a terminal may detect a touch operation on a screen when there is a to-be-processed event (S101); obtain touch point coordinates of the touch operation (S102); display, in a position indicated by the touch point coordinates, a touch graphic used to indicate the touch operation (S103), and display, on the screen based on the touch point coordinates, an operation indication graphic corresponding to the to-be-processed event (S104). The touch graphic and the operation indication graphic are displayed on the screen to enable a user to see a current to-be-processed event in a more intuitive and vivid manner, thereby reducing a misoperation rate of a touch operation and improving operation experience of the user.

  • Publication number: 20200374384
    Abstract: An information displaying method and a terminal are provided. The method includes: obtaining audio data to be played in a chronological order; determining, based on attribute information at any moment of a sound represented by the audio data, a shape of a graph corresponding to the any moment, where the graph corresponding to the any moment including a closed curve with a bump, and a maximum distance in distances from points on the bump to a center of the graph is positively correlated to a value indicated by the attribute information at the any moment; and displaying the graph corresponding to the any moment. The bump in the graph changes with the value indicated by the attribute information of the sound, and such graph is presented to a user, to enhance perception of the user on the attribute information of the audio data and improve user experience.

  • Patent number: 10607380
    Abstract: An information display method and a terminal, where the information display method includes detecting whether a terminal is currently connected to an external device, transmitting a transmission object between the terminal and the external device when the terminal is currently connected to the external device, and displaying a progress graph and a transmission dynamic animation on a screen of the terminal when the transmission object is transmitted between the terminal and the external device, where the transmission dynamic animation includes an object graph that moves from a start position on the screen to an end position on the screen and disappears at the end position, and the object graph is used to indicate the transmission object. According to the foregoing method, a user can have better experience in perceiving a status of the connection between the terminal and the external device.

  • Publication number: 20190324615
    Abstract: The present disclosure relate to the field of electronic devices, and particularly provide an application switching method and apparatus and a graphical user interface, to resolve a prior-art problem that multi-task switching has a relatively high requirement on hardware of an electronic device. The application switching method includes: detecting a touch pressure value that is generated by a touch operation when a target region of a touchscreen is touched; when detecting that the touch pressure value is greater than a preset threshold, generating a first display window in a current display interface of an electronic device, and presenting a first application in the first display window according to a preset rule; and switching the current display interface to a display interface of the first application if detecting an enable signal for the first application, where the current display interface is different from the display interface of the first application.
