Accordingly, the present invention can be applied to any type of mobile terminal, and is not limited to a slide type mobile terminal.

The mobile terminal 100 as shown in fig. 1 may be configured to operate with communication systems such as wired and wireless communication systems and satellite-based communication systems that transmit data via frames or packets.

A communication system in which a mobile terminal according to the present invention is operable will now be described with reference to fig. 2.

Such communication systems may use different air interfaces and/or physical layers. For example, the air interface used by the communication system includes, for example, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) (in particular, Long Term Evolution (LTE)), global system for mobile communications (GSM), and the like. By way of non-limiting example, the following description relates to a CDMA communication system, but such teachings are equally applicable to other types of systems.

Referring to fig. 2, the CDMA wireless communication system may include a plurality of mobile terminals 100, a plurality of Base Stations (BSs) 270, Base Station Controllers (BSCs) 275, and a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 280. The MSC280 is configured to interface with a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) 290. The MSC280 is also configured to interface with a BSC275, which may be coupled to the base station 270 via a backhaul. The backhaul may be constructed according to any of several known interfaces including, for example, E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. It will be understood that a system as shown in fig. 2 may include multiple BSCs 275.

Each BS270 may serve one or more sectors (or regions), each sector covered by a multi-directional antenna or an antenna pointing in a particular direction being radially distant from the BS 270. Alternatively, each partition may be covered by two or more antennas for diversity reception. Each BS270 may be configured to support multiple frequency allocations, with each frequency allocation having a particular frequency spectrum (e.g., 1.25MHz,5MHz, etc.).

The intersection of partitions with frequency allocations may be referred to as a CDMA channel. The BS270 may also be referred to as a Base Transceiver Subsystem (BTS) or other equivalent terminology. In such a case, the term "base station" may be used to generically refer to a single BSC275 and at least one BS 270. The base stations may also be referred to as "cells". Alternatively, each sector of a particular BS270 may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.

As shown in fig. 2, a Broadcast Transmitter (BT)295 transmits a broadcast signal to the mobile terminal 100 operating within the system. A broadcast receiving module 111 as shown in fig. 1 is provided at the mobile terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT 295. In fig. 2, several Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites 300 are shown. The satellite 300 assists in locating at least one of the plurality of mobile terminals 100.

In fig. 2, a plurality of satellites 300 are depicted, but it is understood that useful positioning information may be obtained with any number of satellites. The GPS module 115 as shown in fig. 1 is generally configured to cooperate with satellites 300 to obtain desired positioning information. Other techniques that can track the location of the mobile terminal may be used instead of or in addition to GPS tracking techniques. In addition, at least one GPS satellite 300 may selectively or additionally process satellite DMB transmission.

As a typical operation of the wireless communication system, the BS270 receives reverse link signals from various mobile terminals 100. The mobile terminal 100 is generally engaged in conversations, messaging, and other types of communications. Each reverse link signal received by a particular base station 270 is processed within the particular BS 270. The obtained data is forwarded to the associated BSC 275. The BSC provides call resource allocation and mobility management functions including coordination of soft mute procedures between BSs 270. The BSCs 275 also route the received data to the MSC280, which provides additional routing services for interfacing with the PSTN 290. Similarly, the PSTN290 interfaces with the MSC280, the MSC interfaces with the BSCs 275, and the BSCs 275 accordingly control the BS270 to transmit forward link signals to the mobile terminal 100.

the speed of the linear sliding is: the quotient v between the distance length L1 from the position corresponding to the sensor 1 to the position corresponding to the sensor 2 and the sliding time T1 (T1-T2-T1) is L1/T1.

In practical application, the preset silent displacement motion parameters include linear sliding directions from the sensor 1 to the sensor 2, a linear sliding length may be L, a linear sliding speed is v, and a control object is the application 1; and if the acquired displacement motion parameters meet the mute displacement motion parameters at a certain moment, carrying out mute application 1.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 9, after the user clicks once at the sensor 1, the track shown in fig. 9 is slid.

In some embodiments, the mute module is further configured to detect a current operation state of the terminal before the terminal is controlled to enter the mute state when the displacement motion parameter satisfies a preset mute displacement motion parameter, and control the terminal to enter the mute state when the current operation state satisfies the preset mute operation state.

s502: and when the displacement motion parameter meets the preset mute displacement motion parameter, the mute terminal.

as the capacitance C ═ S/d, it can be known that:

in the scenario shown in fig. 7a, the distance d between the positive electrode of the sensor and the ground is infinite, and the capacitance C is 0;

in the scenario shown in fig. 7C, the user 'S finger lightly presses on the sensor, the user' S finger serves as a ground electrode, the distance D between the positive electrode and the ground is the thickness D of the mobile phone shell, and the capacitance C is (S)/D; because the user lightly presses, the contact area S (elliptical area) between the positive electrode and the ground is small, and the capacitance value is small;

in the scenario shown in fig. 7D, the user presses the sensor with his finger hard, the user' S finger is used as a grounding electrode, the distance D between the positive electrode and the ground is the thickness D of the mobile phone shell, and the capacitance C is (S)/D; because the user presses heavily, the contact area S between the positive electrode and the ground is larger, and the capacitance value is larger;

In some embodiments, the mute module is further configured to detect a current operation state of the terminal before the terminal is controlled to enter the mute state when the displacement motion parameter satisfies a preset mute displacement motion parameter, and control the terminal to enter the mute state when the current operation state satisfies the preset mute operation state. In practical application, a plurality of mute displacement motion parameters can be set, and different mute displacement motion parameters correspond to mute of different applications.
