A more specific application example of the foregoing method and terminal is provided. The application example includes a process of adding a decoration file by a user and a process of displaying the decoration file by a user, where: as shown in FIG. 4, the process of adding a decoration file by the user includes The following steps: Step S301: The user starts the decoration mode on a certain interface, adds multimedia data (may also be text information), and the terminal compresses and resizes the multimedia data according to the file size and size that can be supported under the decoration file, or the font font or size. Make settings to form a decorative file.

Step S302: The user previews the decoration file to be added, and manually configures the size, size, position, and play time of the decoration file. The position can also be set to any, and the user can pull the decoration file to adjust its position.

Step S303: The GUI layer of the terminal invokes a decoration function (On User Decorate ( )) for the user of the GUI element class base class, and the coordinate position of the decoration file (3⁄4 port x, y) is recorded. The location is associated with the corresponding GUI element and decoration file. The coordinate position may be the upper left corner coordinate of the decoration file or the center position of the decoration file.

Step S304: After the decoration file processing of the GUI element ends, the GUI element automatically generates multimedia data and display scene information corresponding to the multimedia data (such as an identifier of the displayed scene).

Step S305: Add the multimedia data and the display scene information to the image database and the scene database, respectively.

The process of displaying the decoration file by the user includes the steps shown in FIG. 5:

Step S306: The system of the terminal invokes a GUI element.

Step S307: The GUI layer of the system of the terminal determines whether the current GUI element has a decoration record. If yes, step S308 is invoked; otherwise, step 312 is performed.

Step S308: enumerate the decoration record data associated with the GUI element; when enumerating, use the GUI identifier as an index, and query the corresponding decoration record in the GUI element decoration record database and enumerate.

Step S309: It is judged whether the identifier of the display scene with the decoration record matches the identifier of the currently displayed scene, and if yes, the process goes to step S310; otherwise, the process goes to step S312.

Step S310: Extract the multimedia data corresponding to the GUI element from the image database.

Step S311: Calculate appropriate image data (such as generation of vector graphics) and draw on the GUI element. Different GUI elements have different display scene judgment conditions, such as the button mentioned above. The display condition of the element display condition, if it is replaced by the desktop clock class, the judgment condition may be different. For example, the desktop clock may have a digital form or a circular dial form, then the user adds a decorative file to the dial clock. , will not be displayed when the clock is displayed in digital form.

Step S312: Display an interface with or without decoration.

As shown in Figure 6: The background is the display of the standby interface. The user adds a cartoon picture of the rabbit in the standby area, and adds the interface of “doing everything well”, which plays an entertainment role. The text size and font can be set by the user.

In addition, it is also possible to add a decorative function expansion diagram based on the GUI elements of the original GUI layer, including:

The GUI element of the original GUI layer of the terminal is expanded after the drawing operation, for example, after the operation of drawing a menu, drawing a button, drawing a picture, or drawing a picture, the operation of the decorative function is added. In addition, the user can select whether the decoration is displayed or not through the software switch, and the decoration file is displayed only when the software switch is turned on.

The GUI element class of the original GUI layer is extended, and a data link for finding related decoration records is added to each of the decorative decorative function elements. The decoration record may be composed of a scene identifier and multimedia data, and each scene identifier corresponds to a scene. Taking the GUI element of the left soft key of the standby interface as an example, if the user adds a decoration file to the left soft key of the standby interface, the left soft key is a button type GUI element, and the matching display scene is used to judge this. Whether the button is the standby left soft key, the judgment conditions include: Whether the parent window is the standby interface, whether the button position is in the lower left corner of the screen (left soft key position), and the response function after the button is pressed is the left soft key handler of the system. Wait.

The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalents, and improvements made within the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention. Inside.
