SCREENSHOT METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18551148 titled 'SCREENSHOT METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

Embodiments of this application provide a method for capturing screenshots on electronic devices using multi-finger swipe gestures. The method improves user experience by avoiding page scrolling during the screenshot process.

  • Method for capturing screenshots using multi-finger swipe gestures:
    • In response to a detected multi-finger swipe operation, obtain first touch data of the user.
    • Parse the first touch data and update it based on the parsing result to obtain second touch data.
    • Parse the second touch data to determine if the user gesture corresponds to a preset screenshot gesture.
    • If the user gesture corresponds to the preset screenshot gesture, perform a screenshot operation.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops to enhance the user experience when capturing screenshots.

Problems Solved

1. Avoiding page scrolling during the screenshot process. 2. Improving user experience by simplifying the screenshot operation.

Benefits

1. Enhanced user experience. 2. Efficient and convenient screenshot capturing process.

Potential Commercial Applications

1. Mobile device manufacturers. 2. Software developers for electronic devices.

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing methods for capturing screenshots on electronic devices using gestures, but the specific approach of avoiding page scrolling during the process may be a unique aspect of this technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method handle different types of multi-finger swipe gestures for capturing screenshots?

The method described in the abstract focuses on determining a preset screenshot gesture, but it is unclear how the technology distinguishes between various multi-finger swipe gestures for different functions.

What is the impact of this technology on the overall performance of the electronic device?

While the abstract mentions improving user experience, it does not address any potential impact on the device's performance or resources when implementing this screenshot method.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of this application provide a screenshot method, an electronic device, and a storage medium, and relate to the field of computers. The method includes: in response to a detected multi-finger swipe operation of a user, obtaining first touch data of the user; parsing the first touch data, and updating the first touch data based on a parsing result to obtain second touch data; parsing the second touch data, to determine whether a user gesture corresponding to the second touch data is a preset screenshot gesture; and if it is determined that the user gesture corresponding to the second touch data is the preset screenshot gesture, performing a screenshot operation. The method provided in embodiments of this application can avoid a page scrolling situation caused by a user in a screenshot process, thereby improving user experience.
