Finally, the physical key position prompting method 100 according to the embodiment of the invention ends at step S199.
Hereinafter, the predetermined touch operation and the detection thereof will be specifically explained.
For example, the sensing unit may be a touch sensor disposed at a first position of the electronic device, and the touch sensor is a capacitive sensor.
Preferably, the first location may comprise at least one of: the electronic equipment comprises the periphery of the electronic equipment, at least one part of the back surface of the electronic equipment, the upper edge and the lower edge of the electronic equipment and the left edge and the right edge of the electronic equipment.
Preferably, the predetermined touch operation includes at least one of: touch from left to right, right to left, top to bottom, bottom to top.
However, the present invention is not limited to the above first position and the above predetermined touch operation, and other detection positions and touch actions, such as back-and-forth touch actions at a specific detection position, for example, touch actions from top to bottom to top, from bottom to top to bottom, from left to right to left, from right to left, and from left to right at a specific detection position, can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.
Preferably, the physical keys comprise at least one of: volume keys, forward keys and backward keys for music playing, and forward keys and backward keys for radio.
When a user watches a video with an electronic device, it is already difficult to directly know the specific position of the volume key on the electronic device after several random rotations. When the user wishes to adjust the volume, it may be touched from top to bottom, from bottom to top, from top to bottom and then from bottom to top, or from bottom to top and then from top to bottom at the right edge of the current state of the electronic device (the current state being a state after several arbitrary rotations). When the electronic device detects such a touch operation by the user, first display content may be displayed on a screen of the electronic device, the first display content indicating a position of the physical key on the electronic device.
For example, the first display content may include an appearance display corresponding to a current state of the electronic device and an indication of a location of the physical key on the electronic device.
In this case, the first display content may be displayed as a transparent image layer superimposed on the current display content of the electronic device. Alternatively, the first display content may replace the currently displayed content of the electronic device. Still alternatively, the display screen of the electronic device may be divided to include at least a first portion and a second portion that do not overlap with each other, the first display content may be displayed on the first portion, and the current display content of the electronic device may be displayed on the second portion. Still alternatively, the first display content may be displayed in a picture-in-picture display manner, i.e., the first display content is displayed on a predetermined portion of a display screen of the electronic device, and the current display content of the electronic device is displayed on the remaining portion. Still alternatively, the currently displayed content of the electronic device may be displayed in a picture-in-picture display manner, i.e., the currently displayed content of the electronic device is displayed on a predetermined portion of the display screen of the electronic device, and the first displayed content is displayed on the remaining portion.
For another example, the first display content includes an indicator at an edge corresponding to the physical key to indicate the presence of the physical key. Such indicators may include, for example, any combination of boxes, bubbles, text, volume icons, power icons, radio icons, and the like, although the invention is not limited in this respect.
In this case, the first display content may be displayed as a transparent image layer superimposed on the current display content of the electronic device. Alternatively, the display screen of the electronic device may be divided to include at least a first portion and a second portion that do not overlap with each other, the first display content may be displayed on the first portion, and the current display content of the electronic device may be displayed on the second portion. Specifically, the display screen of the electronic device may be divided into two parts, where the first part is an outer ring area of the display screen of the electronic device or a bar-shaped area of an edge where a physical key is actually arranged (for example, a right edge of the electronic device) and is used for displaying the first display content, and the remaining part on the display screen of the electronic device is a second part and is used for displaying a currently displayed content device of the electronic device.
On the other hand, there is a case where a malfunction by the user may be detected as a predetermined touch operation. Therefore, the physical key position prompting method according to the embodiment of the invention can further comprise the following steps: in a case where no manipulation of the physical key is received after the first display content is generated, removing the first display content after a predetermined display time period. In this case, after the first display content is removed, the current display content of the electronic device is normally displayed.
In addition, the physical key position prompting method according to the embodiment of the invention can also comprise other detection modes. For example, in a case where the physical key is a volume key, a volume detector is disposed in the electronic device, an abrupt change in output volume of the electronic device is detected by the volume detector, and in a case where the abrupt change in output volume of the electronic device is detected by the volume detector, first display content indicating a position of the physical key on the electronic device is displayed on the display screen. The abrupt change in the output volume of the electronic device comprises at least one of: volume varies from nothing, volume varies from small to large and exceeds a first variation threshold, and volume varies from large to small and exceeds a second variation threshold.
Next, an electronic apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 2 and 3. The electronic device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a display screen 210, physical keys 220, a sensing unit 230, and a display screen control unit 240.
Physical keys 220 may be disposed around the electronic device 200. As shown in fig. 3, an exemplary appearance of the electronic device 200 is shown, for example, a black screen key is disposed on the 1 st side of the electronic device and a volume key is disposed on the 2 nd side.
The sensing unit 230 detects whether a predetermined touch operation is received at a first position of the electronic device. The sensing unit 230 may be a touch detector arranged at a first position of the electronic device, and the touch detector may be a capacitive sensor.
Preferably, the first location may comprise at least one of: the electronic equipment comprises the periphery of the electronic equipment, at least one part of the back surface of the electronic equipment, the upper edge and the lower edge of the electronic equipment and the left edge and the right edge of the electronic equipment.
Preferably, the predetermined touch operation includes at least one of: touch from left to right, right to left, top to bottom, bottom to top.
However, the present invention is not limited to the above first position and the above predetermined touch operation, and other detection positions and touch actions, such as back-and-forth touch actions at a specific detection position, for example, touch actions from top to bottom to top, from bottom to top to bottom, from left to right to left, from right to left, and from left to right at a specific detection position, can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.
Preferably, the physical keys comprise at least one of: volume keys, forward keys and backward keys for music playing, and forward keys and backward keys for radio.
When the sensing unit 230 detects that a predetermined touch operation is received at a first position of the electronic device, the display screen control part 240 displays first display content on the display screen, wherein the first display content is used for indicating the position of the physical key on the electronic device.
The following description will be given taking as an example the arrangement of the sensing units on the two long sides of the electronic device.
For example, when a user watches a video with an electronic device, it has been difficult to directly know the specific position of a volume key on the electronic device after several random rotations. When a user wishes to adjust the volume, the user may touch left to right, right to left, left to right and then right to left, or right to left and then left to right at either long edge of the electronic device. When the electronic device detects such a touch operation by the user, first display content may be displayed on a screen of the electronic device, the first display content indicating a position of the physical key on the electronic device.
For example, the first display content may include an appearance display corresponding to a current state of the electronic device and an indication of a location of the physical key on the electronic device. For example, the appearance display and the position indication of fig. 3 may be the first display content.
In this case, the first display content may be displayed as a transparent image layer superimposed on the current display content of the electronic device. Alternatively, the first display content may replace the currently displayed content of the electronic device. Still alternatively, the display screen of the electronic device may be divided to include at least a first portion and a second portion that do not overlap with each other, the first display content may be displayed on the first portion, and the current display content of the electronic device may be displayed on the second portion. Still alternatively, the first display content may be displayed in a picture-in-picture display manner, i.e., the first display content is displayed on a predetermined portion of a display screen of the electronic device, and the current display content of the electronic device is displayed on the remaining portion. Still alternatively, the currently displayed content of the electronic device may be displayed in a picture-in-picture display manner, i.e., the currently displayed content of the electronic device is displayed on a predetermined portion of the display screen of the electronic device, and the first displayed content is displayed on the remaining portion.
For another example, the first display content includes an indicator at an edge corresponding to the physical key to indicate the presence of the physical key. Such indicators may include, for example, any combination of boxes, bubbles, text, volume icons, power icons, radio icons, and the like, although the invention is not limited in this respect.
In this case, the first display content may be displayed as a transparent image layer superimposed on the current display content of the electronic device. Alternatively, the display screen of the electronic device may be divided to include at least a first portion and a second portion that do not overlap with each other, the first display content may be displayed on the first portion, and the current display content of the electronic device may be displayed on the second portion. Specifically, the display screen of the electronic device may be divided into two parts, where the first part is an outer ring area of the display screen of the electronic device or a bar-shaped area of an edge where a physical key is actually arranged (for example, a right edge of the electronic device) and is used for displaying the first display content, and the remaining part on the display screen of the electronic device is a second part and is used for displaying a currently displayed content device of the electronic device.
As described above, there is a case where a malfunction by the user may be detected as a predetermined touch operation. In this case, for example, in the case where no manipulation of the physical key is received after the first display content is generated, the display screen control part 240 controls the display screen to remove the first display content after a predetermined display time period. After the first display content is removed, the current display content of the electronic equipment is normally displayed.
In addition, the electronic device 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention may also adopt other detection methods. For example, in a case where the physical key is a volume key, a volume detector is disposed in the electronic device, an abrupt change in output volume of the electronic device is detected by the volume detector, and in a case where the abrupt change in output volume of the electronic device is detected by the volume detector, first display content indicating a position of the physical key on the electronic device is displayed on the display screen. The abrupt change in the output volume of the electronic device comprises at least one of: volume varies from nothing, volume varies from small to large and exceeds a first variation threshold, and volume varies from large to small and exceeds a second variation threshold.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the preset touch action of the user at the first position is detected, and the first display content for indicating the position of the physical key on the electronic equipment is generated and displayed according to the preset touch action, so that the user can simply know the specific position of the physical key without searching the physical key edge by edge, and the convenience of user operation is improved.
