Abstract

A method, device and user terminal for acting on graphical objects displayed in a plug-in viewer of a mobile application is disclosed. In response to a first command gesture, a user device displays a webpage in a user interface of a social networking application and the webpage includes one or more images. After detecting a second command gesture, e.g. a sustained-contact, directed to an image or a blank portion of the displayed webpage, certain operations can be performed to the identified image or images. For example, a sustained-contact on the blank portion of the displayed webpage can result in saving all the images of the webpage in the user device or in the cloud. The saving operation can be conducted with or without additional approval from a user. In such a manner, the saving operation on images of a webpage can be performed more efficiently, improving user experience.
