Referring to fig. 1, an exemplary method flowchart of a display content adjusting method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, and the display content adjusting method may include the following steps.

In step 102, a distance value between the electronic device and the front object is acquired at predetermined time intervals.

In summary, in the display content adjusting method provided in this embodiment, the distance value between the electronic device and the object in front is obtained at predetermined time intervals, the distance change information is obtained according to the obtained distance value, and the display content on the screen of the electronic device is adjusted according to the distance change information; the problems that in the related art, at least two distance sensors need to be arranged in the electronic equipment, the complexity of the internal structure of the electronic equipment is increased, and the cost and the size of the electronic equipment are increased are solved; the effects that only one distance sensor needs to be installed inside the electronic equipment, the complexity of the internal structure of the electronic equipment is reduced, and the cost and the size of the electronic equipment are reduced are achieved.

Referring to fig. 2, an exemplary method flowchart of a display content adjusting method provided by another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, and the display content adjusting method may include the following steps.

In step 201, a distance value between the electronic device and the front object is acquired at predetermined time intervals.

The distance value between the electronic equipment and a front object is acquired at preset time intervals through a distance sensing unit, wherein the distance sensing unit can be a distance sensor or a camera, and the front object can be a finger or a palm of a user. The predetermined time interval may be preset according to actual conditions, for example, 0.05 second, and the distance value between the electronic device and the front object is acquired every 0.05 second.

The method for obtaining the distance value can be realized by the following two ways:

in a first implementation manner, a distance value between the electronic device and a front object is acquired by a distance sensor at preset time intervals.

Generally, a photoelectric distance sensor is used. The photoelectric distance sensor comprises a light emitter and a light receiver, infrared light is emitted through the light emitter, when an object in front of the electronic equipment is shielded, corresponding reflected light is generated, and the reflected light is received by the light receiver. The photoelectric distance sensor can calculate the distance value of the front shelter from the distance according to the time taken by the infrared light from emission to reflection and receiving.

The distance sensor is usually disposed on a side of a screen of the electronic device, and the distance sensing angle thereof is generally 1 to 30 degrees, and more preferably 5 to 10 degrees.

In a second implementation manner, images in front of the electronic equipment are acquired at preset time intervals through a camera; identifying a front object in the image; and calculating a distance value according to the proportional relation between the size of the recognized front object and the size of the pre-stored front object.

For example, an image in front of the electronic device may be acquired through a front camera of the electronic device, a front object in the image is identified through an identification technology, and then a distance value between the electronic device and the front object is calculated according to a proportional relationship between the size of the front object in the image and a pre-stored size of the front object. For example, if the size of the front object in the image is reduced by 2 times compared with the size of the pre-stored front object, the distance value between the electronic device and the front object can be calculated according to the corresponding relationship between the proportional relationship and the distance value.

In step 202, distance change information is obtained from the acquired distance value, and the distance change information represents a change in the time domain of the distance between the electronic device and the front object.

In a specific example, when a user unlocks the screen of the mobile phone and starts to use the mobile phone, the distance sensor arranged on one side of the screen of the mobile phone acquires a distance value between the mobile phone and a front object every 0.05 seconds. As shown in fig. 3, assume that the user is stroking in front of the cell phone screen in a "V" shaped motion for 0.3 seconds. The distance sensor acquired 7 distance values in this 0.3 second, respectively: 4 meters, 8 centimeters, 4 meters, and 4 meters. The distance change information is information indicating that the distance between the mobile phone and the finger of the user changes in the process that the user moves in the shape of the V to pass in front of the mobile phone screen.

It should be noted that the application environment indicates that the user moves across the front of the mobile phone screen in a room in a V-shape, and when the distance sensor detects that there is a near-end obstruction, i.e., a finger, the obtained distance is assumed to be 8 cm; when the proximity sensor does not detect a proximity obstruction, i.e. a finger, the acquired distance is assumed to be 4 meters, for example, the distance detected by the proximity sensor is 4 meters from the wall of the room. The 8 cm or 4 m in the above example is only exemplary, and a set of relatively simple values is taken for easy understanding, and in practical applications, the distance values acquired by the distance sensor must fluctuate and differ.

In a first possible implementation, the distance variation information may be represented by a string of binary sequences.

The first threshold and the second threshold are preset, and may be equal to or unequal to each other. In this embodiment, for example, the first threshold and the second threshold are equal, for example, both the first threshold and the second threshold are 10 centimeters. When the obtained distance value is larger than 10 cm, the distance value is considered as a first distance value; and when the acquired distance value is less than or equal to 10 centimeters, the distance value is considered as a second distance value. The first distance value is represented by a binary number "1", the second distance value is represented by a binary number "0", and at this time, distance change information is obtained according to the obtained distance values, that is, a series of binary sequences is obtained according to the obtained distance values. And the subsequent electronic equipment adjusts the display content on the screen of the electronic equipment according to the number of '0' in the binary sequence.

Referring to fig. 4A/4B/4C/4D/4E and 4F, which respectively illustrate different binary sequences obtained by the electronic device according to the acquired 11 distance values within 0.5 second when the user strokes with one finger, two fingers, three fingers, four fingers and five fingers in front of the screen of the electronic device and the user stays with the finger or palm in front of the screen of the electronic device.

Reference may also be made to the following table-1:

TABLE-1

It should be noted that table-1 is only an exemplary illustration of the correspondence between the user operation, the distance value, and the binary sequence. In an actual operation process, the distance value acquired by the electronic device each time is different in different use environments, different user operations or different moments, but the distance value can be represented by a string of binary sequences regardless of the size or variation of the distance value.

In a second possible embodiment, the distance change information may be represented by the number of transitions of the distance value above and below a first threshold and/or a second threshold set in advance.

As in the first possible embodiment, the first threshold value and/or the second threshold value are predetermined, and the first threshold value and the second threshold value may be equal or unequal. In this embodiment, for example, the first threshold and the second threshold are equal, for example, both the first threshold and the second threshold are 10 centimeters. When the obtained distance value is larger than 10 cm, the distance value is considered as a first distance value; and when the acquired distance value is less than or equal to 10 centimeters, the distance value is considered as a second distance value. And when the distance value is changed from the first distance value to the second distance value, recording the change as one jump, and when the distance value is changed from the second distance value to the first distance value, recording the change as one jump, and obtaining distance change information according to the recorded jump times. And the subsequent electronic equipment adjusts the display content on the screen of the electronic equipment according to the jumping times.

Please refer to the following table-2, which respectively exemplarily shows the number of transitions obtained by the electronic device according to the acquired 11 distance values within 0.5 second in the case that the user strokes with one finger, two fingers, three fingers, four fingers, and five fingers in front of the screen of the electronic device, and the user stays with the finger or the palm in front of the screen of the electronic device.

TABLE-2

It should be noted that table-2 is only an exemplary illustration of the correspondence relationship between the user operation, the distance value, and the hop count. In an actual operation process, the distance value acquired by the electronic device each time is different in different use environments, different user operations or different moments, but the distance value can be represented by the number of hops regardless of the size or the change of the distance value.

It should be noted that the distance change information may also be represented in other forms such as a difference between front and rear distance values, which is only exemplified and described in the above two cases, and any form capable of reflecting a change in the time domain of the distance between the electronic device and the front object may be used to represent the distance change information, and the embodiment is not limited in particular.

In step 203, it is detected whether the minimum value of the acquired distance values is smaller than a third threshold value.

The third threshold value may be preset according to actual conditions, such as 15 cm. The third threshold is set to prevent interference from other objects or some misoperation caused by acquisition of a plurality of unnecessary distance values by the distance sensor or the camera in the case where the user does not need to perform the display content adjustment operation.

When the minimum value of the acquired distance values is smaller than the third threshold, it may be considered that the user needs to perform the display content adjustment operation, and at this time, the electronic device performs the following step 204.

Suppose that the electronic device acquires 7 distance values within 0.3 second, which are: 4 meters, 8 centimeters, 4 meters, and the third threshold is set at 15 centimeters. The electronics detect that the minimum 8 centimeters is less than the third threshold 15 centimeters, so step 204 described below is performed.

In step 204, if the minimum value is smaller than the third threshold value, the display content on the screen of the electronic device is adjusted according to the distance change information.

As shown in fig. 5, this step includes the following substeps:

in step 204a, the corresponding adjustment operation is queried in a predetermined correspondence relationship according to the distance change information, where the predetermined correspondence relationship is a correspondence relationship between the distance change information and the adjustment operation.

The adjustment operation includes any one of page forward, page backward, page forward continuously, page backward continuously, scroll up, scroll down, scroll up continuously, or scroll down continuously. It is assumed that the distance variation information is represented by the number of transitions, and the correspondence between different preset distance variation information and different adjustment operations is shown in the following table-3.

	Distance change information (hop count)	Regulating operation
			1	1	Continuous page-back or continuous scrolling down
2	2	Page-back or scroll-down
			3	≥4	Page forward or scroll up
……	……	……

TABLE-3

That is, when the distance change information indicates that the distance value is changed from the first distance value to the second distance value, and then is restored from the second distance value to the first distance value, the corresponding adjustment operation is: page back or scroll down; when the distance change information indicates that the distance value has a change process of changing the first distance value into the second distance value at least twice and then restoring the second distance value into the first distance value, the corresponding adjustment operation is as follows: page forward or scroll up; if the distance change information indicates that the distance value is changed from the first distance value to the second distance value and then is kept at the second distance value, the corresponding adjustment operation is as follows: continuously page backward or continuously scroll down. Wherein the determination of the first distance value and the second distance value may be according to the method described in step 202 above.

In practical application, clear paging of a display page can be set, and page turning operation is executed; for display pages that are not explicitly paged, a scrolling operation is performed.

In step 204b, adjusting the display content on the screen of the electronic equipment according to the inquired adjusting operation.

And generating a corresponding control command according to the inquired adjusting operation, wherein the control command is used for controlling the display content on the screen of the electronic equipment to be adjusted.

In particular, when the distance change information indicates that the distance value is changed from the first distance value to the second distance value and then remains at the second distance value, i.e. as in the first case of table-3, step 204b may comprise the following substeps:

firstly, the speed of the flipping speed is determined according to the magnitude of the maintained second distance value, and the magnitude of the maintained second distance value is in a negative correlation relation with the speed of the flipping speed.

When the kept second distance value is smaller, namely the finger or the palm of the user is closer to the screen of the electronic equipment, the flipping speed is higher; when the second distance value is kept longer, namely the farther the finger or palm of the user is away from the screen of the electronic device, the slower the flipping speed is. The flipping speed may be dynamically changed in real time depending on how far the user's finger or palm is from the screen of the electronic device.

Second, the displayed content on the screen of the electronic device is continuously flipped backward or continuously scrolled downward according to the determined flipping speed.

In step 205, after the distance value obtained by the distance sensor adjusts the display content on the screen of the electronic device, triggering the camera or at least one other distance sensor to continue adjusting the display content on the screen of the electronic device.

After the adjustment operation of the display content on the screen of the electronic device is realized based on the above steps 201 to 204, the camera or at least one other distance sensor may also be triggered to be started to continue to adjust the display content on the screen of the electronic device.

In a first possible implementation, this step includes the following substeps:

first, after adjusting the display content on the screen of the electronic device by the distance value acquired by the distance sensor, triggering the activation of at least one other distance sensor.

When a user unlocks the screen of the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment is triggered to start a first distance sensor, and the distance sensor acquires the distance value of a front object once every preset time. And triggering and starting at least one other distance sensor after the acquired distance value meets the display content adjusting operation executed in the steps 201 to 204 and at least one adjusting operation is executed.

Secondly, the moving direction and the moving track of the front object are obtained through the distance sensor and other distance sensors.

The motion direction and the motion track of the front object can be determined according to the sequence of the acquired change moments of the distance values of the front object through two or more distance sensors. For example, if the distance sensor installed on the left side of one side of the screen of the electronic device acquires a change in the distance value of the front object before the distance sensor on the right side, it indicates that the front object is drawn from left to right.

And thirdly, adjusting the display content on the screen of the electronic equipment according to the motion direction and the motion trail.

When the front object is obtained to be drawn from left to right, forward page turning or upward rolling from left can be executed; when it is acquired that the front object is stroked from right to left, page-back or scroll-down may be performed.

In a second possible implementation, this step includes the following substeps:

firstly, after the display content on the screen of the electronic equipment is adjusted through the distance value acquired by the distance sensor, the camera is triggered to start.

And secondly, acquiring the motion direction and the motion track of the front object through the image acquired by the camera.

According to the image collected by the camera, the motion direction and the motion track of the front object in the image can be identified through an identification technology.

It should be noted that, the above step 205 is only to further optimize the display content adjustment method provided by the present disclosure, and is not a limitation of the present disclosure, and steps 201 to 204 may completely implement the display content adjustment method provided by the present disclosure alone to adjust the display content on the screen of the electronic device.

In summary, in the display content adjusting method provided in this embodiment, the distance value between the electronic device and the object in front is obtained at predetermined time intervals, the distance change information is obtained according to the obtained distance value, and the display content on the screen of the electronic device is adjusted according to the distance change information; the problems that in the related art, at least two distance sensors need to be arranged in the electronic equipment, the complexity of the internal structure of the electronic equipment is increased, and the cost and the size of the electronic equipment are increased are solved; the method achieves the effects that only one distance sensor needs to be installed in the electronic equipment, the display content is adjusted by utilizing the change of the distance value in the time domain, the complexity of the internal structure of the electronic equipment is reduced, and the cost and the size of the electronic equipment are reduced.

The display content adjusting method provided in this embodiment further represents distance change information through a binary sequence or a number of hops, and then performs corresponding adjusting operation by pre-storing a correspondence between different distance change information and different adjusting operations, thereby improving diversification and flexibility of the scheme in a specific implementation environment.
