DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT SCREEN SWITCHING OF MOBILE TERMINAL

摘要

A device and a method for implementing the landscape/portrait screen switching of a mobile terminal are provided. The device includes an interface description file unit, an interface parsing engine and a graphical user interface (GUI) control unit, wherein the interface description file unit is employed to describe each interface of the mobile terminal and saving the description of each interface in a landscape screen mode and a portrait screen mode into an interface description file including interface elements on the interface and attributes thereof; the interface parsing engine is employed to parse the interface description file in the interface description file unit according to the current screen mode and calling a corresponding interface provided by the GUI control unit according to the interface element obtained by parsing; and the GUI control unit is a graphical user interface and is employed to draw a corresponding interface element according to the corresponding interface called by the interface parsing engine. The device and the method can reduce the development workload of conventional methods and improve switching efficiency.
