Display device and method for navigating between display layers thereof

摘要

A method for navigating between display layers is applied in a display device. The display device includes a touch screen and a display panel. The method includes following steps of determining a target display layer according to whether a pinching gesture or an expanding gesture is performed. When the expanding gesture is performed, expanding a distance between relevant columns or rows of icons currently displayed to reveal icons on the target display layer, and visually compressing formerly-displayed icons to two opposite edges of the display panel during the expanding gesture. When the pinching gesture is performed, narrowing a distance between columns or rows of icons on the target display layer which are introduced respectively from the two opposite edges to cover columns and rows of old icons, and visually expanding the newly-introduced icons during the pinching gesture.

主权项

1. A display device comprising:
a touch screen; a display panel for displaying a plurality of display layers each comprising icons arranged in columns and rows; a storage unit storing a plurality of modules; and a processor to execute the plurality of modules, wherein, the plurality of modules comprises:
a detecting module that detects touches on the touch screen, and detects positional information of each detected touch;an analyzing module that identifies whether a pinching gesture or an expanding gesture is performed on the touch screen according to the detected positional information, and determines a target display layer accordingly; anda control module that expands a distance between relevant columns or rows of icons currently displayed to reveal columns and rows of other icons displayed on the target display layer when the expanding gesture is performed, and visually compresses formerly-displayed icons to two opposite edges of the display panel as the icons displayed on the target display layer are revealed during the expanding gesture; and narrows a distance between columns or rows of icons displayed on the target display layer which are introduced respectively from the two opposite edges to cover columns and rows of the icons currently displayed when the pinching gesture is performed, and visually expands newly-introduced icons during the pinching gesture.
