A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11941242B2) discloses a method for processing entry information through a sliding operation on a terminal device. The method involves determining a target event corresponding to the sliding operation, activating the target event based on sliding distance thresholds, and processing the entry information accordingly. The target event can include deletion, marking, hiding, or communication events, determined by factors like sliding direction and pressing strength. For instance, when the target event is deletion, the entry information is deleted, while marking involves marking as read, setting urgency levels, or scheduling reminders. The method also includes displaying event prompt controls in different forms based on the sliding distance, enhancing user interaction and customization.

Furthermore, the patent extends to a terminal device and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium implementing the method described above. The terminal device comprises a memory, processor, and computer program executing the operations related to processing entry information through sliding operations. Similarly, the computer-readable storage medium stores a program executed by a processor to determine target events, activate them based on sliding thresholds, and process entry information accordingly. The innovative approach of displaying event prompt controls in different forms based on sliding distance thresholds enhances user experience and efficiency in managing entry information on the terminal device. This patent showcases a unique method and system for intuitive and efficient processing of entry information through sliding operations, offering a novel way to interact with and manage data on electronic devices.
