I see the big screen mobile phone single hand operation Interactive concept

Mobile phone screen is growing, one-handed operation has become more and more difficult, how much screen is the most suitable for people to use a screen size? There was a time when industry experts had a lot of discussion about the problem, but eventually failed to set a conclusion. And in the user, for the big screen mobile phone single hand operation experience of the view is also different, the following article is from a junior student @ Mao-MAO-love technology for the idea of this problem. What do you think of the single hand operation interactive experience of big screen mobile phone?

The following is the author's original text:

Chowa has said that the 3.5-inch mobile screen is the most suitable for one-handed operation, it should be said that the theory is half right. The 3.5-inch operating range is the most comfortable for most people, and the idea that we want the screen to be a little bigger will not conflict, with the emphasis on interactive design.

We want the screen to be bigger, hoping that the phone will give us a better visual effect, rather than a larger area of control. So, we need a commonly used button or sliding motion that only appears in our thumb to be comfortable, convenient enough to reach the area of the interactive system.

This is just my big screen mobile phone single hand operation of an idea, next I elaborate on the specific implementation of the way.

A． Improvements to the Dial-up interface and virtual keyboard-zoom out and move the keyboard to the right (left):

This can not be explained too much, because Samsung's Note2 and Huawei's mate have done very well. It should be noted that, more than 4-inch screen of mobile phones, should be limited to the Dial-up keyboard and virtual keyboard maximum height by default of 1/2 below the screen, 4.5 inches above the mobile phone should be similar to the note 2 and mate type of pull over the keyboard.

Two． Notice bar improvement-right edge down gesture and reverse order notification bar:

It should be said that the Android notice bar is more commonly used by users, but as the phone screen gradually become larger, drop-down notification column This common action is already unable to complete with the thumb. My idea is to drop the notification bar by gesture, as shown in the figure, which is an action that falls on the right edge of the screen. The notice bar also needs to be improved by moving the Quick control button down. Finally, arrange the notification message in reverse order, i.e. the first displayed notice should appear at the bottom. In short, the whole notice column is reversed.

Three． Improve the content area of the application software-provide a degree of dropdown space:

The general application interface design is divided into three sections, that is, the Top tab bar, the middle content area, the bottom button bar (some applications to get a larger reading space to remove the top bar or the bottom bar).

Let's talk about the middle content area, the top bar and the bottom bar. It's a little abstract, for example, to take the Android native SMS interface. After opening the interface, drop down the list, the list is not moving, and the top will be a cross-border animation effect, then for large-screen mobile phones, we can not adjust the palm holding mode in the case of 2~3 to the top of the text message. So, my idea is that the middle content area can be pulled down to 1/2 of the screen, and then there will be a cross border animation effect. As a result, you can select the top content as soon as you drop it.

Four． Application top bar and bottom bar improvements

Here is a description of my ideal application interface design specifications: The general situation is divided into three columns, the top column display labels and other information, do not show the button, the original button should be moved down to the bottom bar or hidden to the menu; the middle content area as long as you can pull down on the line The bottom column is divided into two situations: 1. If you want to display a button of 3 or 3, you can consider using the Fuubo microblogging client-side shortcut button (this is a good design); 2. General design.

Here are examples to illustrate:

1. Native Browsers:

In order to increase the visual area, the original browser used to cancel the design of the bottom bar, the interface is very concise. Improvement: You might guess what I'm going to say, is to move the top column down (figure). Improvement said here is not enough, the original browser interface is too concise, resulting in some commonly used buttons to press the menu key to find, so that day-to-day operation is very inconvenient. My advice is to add 2 buttons-bookmark and bookmark. Ordinary users use the browser's day-to-day operations are: Enter the address, bookmarks, back, bookmark, switch windows, search, so that the bottom as long as there is an address bar and 3 keys is enough, the address bar is also the search bar (settings can also change the default search engine), there is a button "back" is in your screen.

2. UC Browser:

Referring to native browsers, incidentally, the Chinese use more browsers. Compared to native browsers, UC seems to know more about the Chinese people, more convenient to use. But the interface of UC is obviously too complex, when we use mobile phone idiot mode to enter the UC interface, we will find that the choice of UC more we do not know how to classify the function and disorderly ...

I first proposed the UC interface how to improve, and again the reason.

Again, remove the bottom bar and move down the top bar. Remove the original top column of the search box and the rightmost button, from the right to add "Home key", "Window key."

Why remove the Search bar: Because the address bar itself is a search bar. The UC search bar also includes optional search pages, novels, maps, shopping, or pictures, so we just add them to the interface where the address bar is selected.

Why is there a more "home" button than the native browser: it's a matter of habit. UC's homepage is not a Web page, but a navigation page, which includes 6~9 tags, shows you recently visited or often go to or your fixed choice of Web site, this is UC convenient place. In contrast, the native browser's homepage is just a URL, this should be a relatively few people to use the function, then we for the simplicity of the button can be removed.

Why remove the menu key from the bottom bar: is the menu key one of the 3 (or 4) buttons on the bottom of your phone screen?!

3. Native SMS Interface:

The standard 3-segment design is adopted.

The top bar displays only the words "SMS" and the number of unread text messages, which is a design specification worth referring to. The bottom bar has only 2 buttons, and of course it can be changed (note "Change" instead of "improvement"), and the change is the button in the lower right corner of the Fuubo Weibo client I mentioned above. This button has several advantages: (1) Simplicity: Instead of the bottom of the bar, for the screen to make greater visual space; (2) Efficiency: familiar with the button after the direct slide can be, do not stop to choose, do not have to think; (3) Relative intuition: it is certainly worse than the original base bar intuition, but compared to other gestures, Because more than a click to display the function of the button, it is more intuitive.

4. QQ2013:

Mobile phone QQ Development to now, the function is already very powerful. The interface for one-hand operation of the optimization only the central content area of the Drop-down improvement, the top bar has two of the less commonly used buttons harmless. Spit: (1) and pit Daddy to the iOS version of the Settings button moved over, you let my phone below the menu key feeling why?! (2) Can you put "session" and "contact" in the same content area? The left side of the "Buddy" label should be a session. The most commonly used switch to the conversation and friends List of the action is so incoherent, to keep clicking in the lower left corner, rather than sliding around?! It's not science!

5. Sina Weibo official client:

Direct spit: (1) actually send micro Bo this is so common and Sina encourages everyone to use the function keys to the top left corner, very inconvenient, (2) and QQ, and the iOS "more" (in fact, the menu or settings) on the interface, Both occupy space and function with the menu key below the screen repeat. In contrast, the Fuubo interface is much fresher than the official, not to mention the efficiency of the operation.

The application of the improvement is probably also mentioned here, temporarily only think so much, no way one by one detailed, just mention a few typical, but probably improve the idea and principle also basically said clearly.

At this point, my big screen mobile phone single hand operation of the concept has been fully elaborated, if there is more on this aspect of the idea, give us a sequel.
