Method for realizing content selection on the basis of scrolling widget and device

The invention discloses a method for realizing content selection on the basis of a scrolling widget and a device. The method comprises the following steps: recording the position and the corresponding time of a clicked object; then, if a linear velocity initial value obtained by a position when the clicked object is raised and the position corresponding to the final recorded time is not zero, obtaining displacement amount according to the linear velocity initial value; according to the displacement amount, regulating the scrolling widget; and selecting a corresponding content until the displacement amount is zero. With the method, a corresponding linear velocity initial value is obtained according to the displacement corresponding to time before and after the clicked object is raised; and according to the initial value, the scrolling widget is continuously operated, and corresponding content is selected to ensure that a user still can select required content when the user touches the edge of a touch screen or a mouse does not have operation space, so convenience is brought to the user, and the experience feeling can be improved.
