METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MANAGING PROGRESS INDICATOR DISPLAY

摘要

The present application discloses methods and devices that are used to improve the display of a progress indictor for a program, such as an audio/video player application. A progress indicator on a progress bar is often used for the indication of the progress of a program. There may also be one or more status indicators on the progress bar. When a user drags the progress indicator along or within the progress bar and passes one or more status indicators, the computer system displays an indicating image between the starting position and the drag position in the progress bar for a pre-defined period of time. The indicating image can be generated by combining a layer associated with the progress indicator and layers associated with one or more status indicators that are passed. The current method and device make the display of progress indictor more distinctive and improve user experience.

1. A method for displaying play session progress status, comprising:
at a computer system having one or more processors and memory storing programs executed by the one or more processors and displaying a progress indicator and one or more status indicators positioned on a progress bar for a play session,
detecting a starting position of the progress indicator along the progress bar and the respective positions of the one or more status indicators;detecting a drag operation to the progress indictor and a drag position of the progress indicator;displaying an indicating image between the starting position and the drag position in the progress bar for a pre-defined period of time when there is one or more respective positions of the status indicators between the starting position and the drag position, wherein
the progress indicator has a corresponding progress layer and a drag layer and the one or more status indicators have respective corresponding status layers, andthe indicating image is generated by combining the drag layer and one or more status layers having corresponding status indicators with positions between the starting position and the drag position; anddisplaying the progress layer between an initiating position of the progress bar and the drag position after the pre-defined period.
