An example will be described in detail below. It should be noted that this example is intended to clearly illustrate the application and not to limit it.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the communication unit 140 and the communication unit 240 are both Bluetooth chips. The touch operation is a click operation. The touch screen 150 generates a trigger signal in response to a user clicking a finger on the touch screen 150 and responding to the finger lift in an interrupted manner.

For example, when a user plays a game or browses a webpage, it does not cause inconvenience due to finger screen occlusion, and has a better user experience.

In another embodiment, the touch operation on the touch screen 150 is in one-to-one correspondence with the operations performed by the mobile terminal 200. For example, the double-click operation on the touch screen 150 corresponds to the wake-up operation on the mobile terminal 200. The upslid operation on the touch screen 150 corresponds to the page up operation on the mobile terminal 200. It should be noted that the description herein is merely illustrative and does not limit the actual protection scope of the application.

The communication unit 140 of the protective case 100, such as Bluetooth, starts scanning electronic devices peripherally that open the wireless connection function. The communication unit 240 of the mobile terminal 200, such as Bluetooth, can establish a wireless network connection with the protective case 100 when it is turned on.

Step 410, the touch screen 150 of the protective case 100 generates a corresponding trigger signal in response to a touch operation on the user. Specifically, when the user performs a touch operation on the touch screen 150 of the protective case 100 by a finger, the touch screen 150 generates a trigger signal in response to the finger lifting in an interrupted manner.

Step 420: The processor 120 generates a key value conforming to the Hid protocol in response to the trigger signal, and generates a control instruction conforming to the Hid protocol according to the key value, and then sends the control command to the mobile terminal 200.

Specifically, the processor 120 responds to the trigger signal and generates a key value that conforms to the Hid protocol. The memory 130 stores a correspondence between a preset key value and a control command. The processor 120 acquires an instruction corresponding to the key value from the memory 130 according to the key value. The processor 120 generates a control instruction conforming to the Hid protocol according to the instruction. The processor 120 controls the communication unit 140 to transmit a control command to the mobile terminal 200.

Step 430, the communication unit 240 of the mobile terminal 200 receives the control instruction.

At step 440, the processor 210 of the mobile terminal 200 responds to the control command and performs a corresponding operation.

The protective cover with touch function and the touch control method and system thereof directly send a control command complying with the Hid protocol to the mobile terminal after generating a trigger signal on the touch screen, and the mobile terminal directly responds to the control command without The application program corresponding to the protective shell is installed on the mobile terminal, the memory usage of the mobile terminal is reduced, the running speed of the mobile terminal is improved, the wear of the physical button of the mobile terminal is also reduced, the user's finger operation is facilitated, and the user experience is improved.

The above is a preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can also make several improvements and retouchings without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and retouchings are also considered as The scope of protection for the application.
