Exemplary process
Fig. 4 is the process flow diagram that the exemplary process 400 related with the use of portable terminal 100 among the embodiment is shown.Processing can for example begin when portable terminal 100 powers on.In certain embodiments, portable terminal 100 can allow the user based on specific locking (lockout) feature of user preference customization.For example, input equipment 240 can provide options menu to the user.This menu can allow the user to be chosen in to forbid what input function under which condition.For example, the key lock function can be arranged to the profile (profile) of the operative association of one or more and portable terminal 100.Can when selecting, the shortage user realize default key lock configuration.For example, display 130 and control knob 140 may be operated, and the one or more buttons in the keypad 150 are exercisable, and for example, wherein portable terminal 100 comprises and can place renovating on the keypad 150.
In one embodiment, handle 400 and can begin (action 410) with the reference state of one or more parameters of test example such as these input mechanisms during the non-operation mode of the input mechanism of display 130, control knob 140 and/or keypad 150.The respective sensor related with these input mechanisms can be obtained the temperature information of other key/button and/or the ambient temperature information of groups of keys/buttons.Other sensors related with these input mechanisms can obtain other parameter informations (for example electric capacity and/or resistance or the like) of other key/button and/or the environmental parameter information of groups of keys/buttons.
The parameter of being obtained (for example temperature, electric capacity, resistance, power or the like) information can be used for setting up baseline or reference state for described one or more parameters of individual other input mechanism or input mechanism group.In one embodiment, detected parameters information and the reference state of setting up input mechanism can be the processing of carrying out during the not operation of these input mechanisms.Sampling sensor can for example be used for the predetermined space information that gets parms.With reference to Fig. 3 B, at period t
0-t
1During this time, can for example set up reference state for the parameter that is expressed as " touch " and " temperature " substantially.
Referring again to Fig. 4, in case set up reference state, handle 400 and can continue with the activation of key lock, make one or more placing under locking (forbidding) or half locking (part is forbidden) operator scheme (moving 420) in the described input mechanism.Under an exemplary key latching mode, for example, can keep the one or more limited at least function in the described input mechanism.For example, portable terminal 100 can be kept emergency call capability (for example 9-1-1) and/or keep other functions in other key latching mode following time.
In one embodiment, handle 400 and can comprise whether the reference state of determining foundation is in the acceptable boundary, promptly whether effectively (moves 430).Can be the reference thermal state capping related with pushing for example specific input mechanism, it is lower than the temperature of human body.When definite described reference state is effective, can comprises the sensing representative in the information of input mechanism place first parameter but handle 400, and determine whether the amplitude of this variation surpasses threshold value (action 440) from the change detected of described reference state.For example, portable terminal 100 can dispose one or more input mechanisms, and it has at the threshold value of the association of the electric capacity of this input mechanism place experience and/or resistance (depicted mark as in " touch " curve map of Fig. 3 B the dotted line of " threshold value ").
This threshold value can be configured to for example change corresponding to the electric capacity of being pointed generation by near the user the input mechanism (for example one of button in control knob 140 and/or the keypad 150) and/or the expectation of resistance.In another embodiment, this threshold value can be corresponding to the relative measurement of the parameter of input mechanism, and it is based on the measurement of the parameter at one or more (for example) input mechanism place of portable terminal 100.For example, the electric capacity of the quantity of the input mechanism that is held operating period of indication user and/or resistance measurement may influence at the foundation about the threshold value of the parameter of any given mechanism in the described input mechanism.
When the predetermined threshold determining not have at given mechanism place to satisfy with described first parameter association, processing logic 220 can provide steering order so that stop the operation (action 450) (for example so that the careless contact of solution key/button) of input mechanism to input equipment 240.In one embodiment, when having stoped the operation of input mechanism, portable terminal 100 can be configured to for example produce the blocked indication of input mechanism by display 130 and/or loudspeaker 120 to the user.In one embodiment, this indication can comprise the message that is presented on the display 130, for example " only in emergency circumstances uses ".In case stoped the use of input mechanism, 100 of portable terminals are sensing modes (action 440) again.
Basically with determine to satisfy and the predetermined threshold of first parameter association at the input mechanism place (t in " touch " curve map of Fig. 3 B for example
1The time) simultaneously, but portable terminal 100 can obtain the information of representative from the change detected of the reference state of described input mechanism place second parameter, and determine whether the amplitude of this variation has surpassed the threshold value of setting up at this second parameter (action 460).Described input mechanism for example can have the correlation threshold (depicting the dotted line that is labeled as " minimum value " as on " temperature " curve map of Fig. 3 B) at the hot state of this input mechanism place experience.In one embodiment, this threshold value can be corresponding with certain absolute temperature, typically can experience this absolute temperature (t in " temperature " curve map at Fig. 3 B for example during user's finger control at described input mechanism place
1The time).In another embodiment, this threshold value can be corresponding to the relative temperature of described input mechanism based on the temperature at one or more (for example) input mechanism place of portable terminal 100.In yet another embodiment, this threshold value can be corresponding to the rate of change (Δ t) of described reference thermal state, and it typically can be experienced according to the heat transmission that takes place during handling at described input mechanism place.Shown in Fig. 3 B, can be at described change calculations derivative, and it is expressed as the upper limit and/or the lower limit that limits the related tolerance interval of the activation that causes with user's touch.
When the predetermined threshold determining not satisfy with second parameter association at described input mechanism place, portable terminal 100 can be as about moving the operation of 450 described these input mechanisms of prevention.On the other hand, (the t in " temperature " curve map at Fig. 3 B for example when the predetermined threshold that determine to satisfy with second parameter association at described input mechanism place
2The time), portable terminal 100 can make described key lock inactivation, thereby makes it possible to carry out its operation, and produces output signal (action 470) alternatively.In one embodiment, can only make this key lock inactivation at a described input mechanism.In other words, can lock inactivation by realization key on the basis of key.In this case, can be used in the key lock inactivation of all input/buttons.In another embodiment, can be a described input mechanism designated key lock control.In another embodiment, key can be locked other input mechanisms that inactivation is applied to another input mechanism inactivation scheduled time slot manipulate afterwards.After the scheduled time slot and/or not operation of these input mechanisms, portable terminal 100 can turn back to as above about moving 410 described processing.
Referring again to action 430, (for example the state of temperature of this input mechanism surpasses the state of temperature of human body in fact when definite reference state is invalid, for example since be in the pocket or the sunlight direct irradiation under) time, portable terminal 100 can get around above-mentioned about moving 440 processing and proceed to action 460.In other words, when the predetermined threshold that determine to satisfy with the only parameter association at input mechanism place, can realize the inactivation of described key lock.For example, if the temperature of portable terminal 100 surpasses maximum horizontal (for example described in " temperature " curve map of Fig. 3 B), for example be in result under the sunlight direct irradiation, can ignore temperature parameter aspect the described key lock inactivation making so as portable terminal 100.In other replaceable scheme, the invalid value related with one of described two parameters (for example temperature) can be thought effectively that the value of this parameter does not surpass the indication of threshold value.In other words, in this example, the value that surpasses maximum temperature values can indicate the user not push load button.Replacedly, portable terminal 100 can be configured to replace this Invalid parameter with another condition determining whether to make in the key lock function inactivation, makes in order to make described key lock inactivation, need satisfy two or more conditions.For example, alternative parameter can be selected by the user.
