Detailed Description
The core idea of the invention is as follows: based on the characteristics of touch and flexibility of the flexible screen, a fingerprint identification unit is integrated on the conventional flexible screen, and a fingerprint identification function and a touch function are realized at the same time; and when the two functions conflict with each other in the simultaneous application process, the fingerprint identification function is controlled to be independently started or the touch function is controlled to be independently started according to the bending degree of the flexible screen, so that the two functions can be realized on the premise of not influencing each other.
In order to make the objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The technical scheme of the invention is further explained by the specific implementation mode in combination with the attached drawings.
Example one
The present embodiment provides a terminal, as shown in fig. 1, including: the device comprises a flexible screen, an input unit, a bending sensor and a main control unit; the input unit further comprises a fingerprint identification unit and a touch input unit.
The fingerprint identification unit is fixedly arranged in the flexible screen, is started when receiving a fingerprint identification function starting instruction, and is used for collecting and identifying fingerprints input in a fingerprint input area of the fingerprint identification unit. The fingerprint input area of the fingerprint identification unit is positioned in the touch input area or the non-touch input area of the flexible screen; generally, the front surface of the flexible screen is a touch input area, and the back surface of the flexible screen is a non-touch input area, so the fingerprint input area can be located on the front surface of the flexible screen and overlapped with part or all of the touch input area of the flexible screen, and can also be located on the back surface of the flexible screen, and does not occupy the physical space outside the flexible screen.
The bending sensor is fixedly arranged in the flexible screen and used for detecting the bending state of the flexible screen in a bending sensing area of the bending sensor, and the bending state comprises any one or any combination of a bending position, a bending degree and a bending direction; the installation position of the bending sensor and the installation position of the fingerprint identification unit can be the same or different, so that the bending sensing area of the bending sensor and the fingerprint input area are completely overlapped, partially overlapped or not overlapped.
The touch input unit is used for starting a touch function of a touch input area of the flexible screen when receiving a touch function starting instruction; and when a touch function closing instruction is received, closing the touch function of the fingerprint input area in the touch input area of the flexible screen, or closing the touch function of the whole touch input area.
The main control unit is used for simultaneously starting the fingerprint identification unit and the touch input unit or independently starting the fingerprint identification unit or the touch input unit when the fingerprint input area is positioned in the non-touch input area of the flexible screen; when the fingerprint input area is located in the touch input area of the flexible screen, the fingerprint identification unit is opened and the touch input unit is closed according to the bending state detected by the bending sensor, or the fingerprint identification unit is closed and the touch input unit is opened.
In this embodiment, the installation position of the touch input unit may be distributed over the entire flexible screen or limited to the corners, sides or middle position of the flexible screen, so that the entire flexible screen or a partial area of the flexible screen has a touch function, and different use or design requirements are met. The position of the fingerprint input area is determined by the installation position of the fingerprint identification unit, and the fingerprint input area can be positioned at any position in the touch input area of the flexible screen or at any position in the non-touch input area of the flexible screen; the installation positions of the bending sensor and the fingerprint identification unit can also be distributed all over the flexible screen or limited to the corners, the sides or the middle of the flexible screen, so that the bending sensing area of the bending sensor and the fingerprint input area of the fingerprint identification unit can be completely overlapped, partially overlapped or not overlapped. For example: in the front view of the flexible screen shown in fig. 2, the fingerprint input area 11 is located at the lower right corner of the touch input area 12, and the bending sensing area 13 is located at the upper right corner of the flexible screen; in the front view of the flexible screen shown in fig. 3, the fingerprint input area 11 is located at the upper right corner of the touch input area 12, and the bending sensing area 13 is also located at the upper right corner of the flexible screen; in the view of fig. 4 showing a state where the flexible screen is bent in the front direction at the upper right corner thereof, the fingerprint input area 11 is located at the upper right corner of the back surface, and the bending sensing area 13 is located at the lower right corner of the flexible screen.
When the fingerprint input area is positioned on the back of the flexible screen, the fingerprint identification unit and the touch input unit work independently without mutual interference, at the moment, the fingerprint identification unit and the touch input unit can be controlled to be opened/closed simultaneously or respectively and independently according to a conventional mode, and the fingerprint identification unit and the touch input unit can be controlled to be opened/closed simultaneously or independently according to the bending state of the flexible screen in the bending induction area; when the fingerprint input area is located the front of flexible screen, the fingerprint input area is in the touch input area, and fingerprint identification unit and touch input unit can produce the interference if simultaneous working, therefore this embodiment controls touch function and fingerprint identification function and opens alone according to the size of the produced deformation volume of user's crooked flexible screen.
In other embodiments, the main control unit may also control the input unit to be turned on or off according to other bending states of the flexible screen in the bending sensing area, such as a bending position, a bending direction, and the like.
Example two
For the case that the fingerprint input area is located in the touch input area of the flexible screen, the second embodiment provides a corresponding control method, as shown in fig. 5, including the steps of:
step S501, initialization setting: and starting the touch control function of the touch control input unit and closing the fingerprint identification function of the fingerprint identification unit.
Since the usage time limit and the scene of the touch function far exceed those of the fingerprint identification function in the use process of the terminal, and the fingerprint identification function is only applied under some special conditions related to privacy or security requirements, the initialization setting is performed in the embodiment.
And S502, detecting the bending state of the flexible screen at the position of the bending induction area in real time.
The bending state of the bending induction area position is used as a judgment basis for judging whether the fingerprint identification unit is started or not. In order to meet the operation habit of a user and facilitate operation, the bending sensing area is preferably arranged at the upper right corner, the lower right corner or the right side edge of the flexible screen, and the user can easily bend one corner or one side of the flexible screen towards the front direction or the back direction.
Step S503, judging whether the current bending state of the flexible screen accords with a preset bending state, if so, executing step S504, otherwise, returning to step S502.
When the current bending state of the flexible screen accords with the preset bending state, the current bending operation of the flexible screen by a user is regarded as effective operation, and the step is to avoid misoperation and improve the accuracy.
The preset bending state may include one or any combination of a bending position, a bending degree, and a bending direction. In general, the bending position may be a corner or a side, etc., the bending direction may be a front direction or a back direction, the maximum range of the bending degree is-180 ° to 180 °, and the threshold value of the bending degree is preferably 90 °.
Step S504, the fingerprint identification function is started, and the touch function is closed.
After the fingerprint identification function is started, a user can input a fingerprint, and the terminal executes corresponding processing after receiving the fingerprint. Meanwhile, to avoid interference, the touch function is turned off. In practical applications, the touch function of the entire touch input area may be turned off, or only the touch function of the area of the touch input area corresponding to the fingerprint input area may be turned off.
And step S505, after the input of the fingerprint is finished, detecting the bending state of the flexible screen at the position of the bending induction area in real time.
After finishing inputting the fingerprint, the user can bend the flexible screen again, so that the flexible screen restores to the initial state.
Step S506, judging whether the bending state of the flexible screen in the bending induction area is recovered to the initial state, if so, closing the fingerprint identification function and starting the touch control function; otherwise, return to step S505.
In the process, a user can start a fingerprint identification function and close a touch control function by bending the designated position of the flexible screen and enabling the designated position to reach a preset bending state; after finishing fingerprint input, the designated position of the flexible screen is restored to the initial state through bending operation so as to close the fingerprint identification function and open the touch function.
EXAMPLE III
And aiming at the condition that the fingerprint input area is positioned in the non-touch input area of the flexible screen, the touch function and the fingerprint identification function can be controlled according to the same method of the second embodiment.
However, since the fingerprint input area is located in the non-touch input area, in practical applications, the fingerprint identification function and the touch function will not affect each other, and therefore any existing method can be adopted to control the touch function and the fingerprint identification function, which is not described herein again.
In the user's actual operation in-process, because fingerprint input zone is located the back of flexible screen, invisible to the user, the user is difficult to find corresponding position fast, accurately when inputing the fingerprint, therefore when inputing the fingerprint, can carry out crooked operation so that fingerprint input zone is visible to the user with this district, makes things convenient for fingerprint input.
The above-mentioned embodiments are only used for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention, and not for limiting the same; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some technical features may be equivalently replaced; and such modifications or substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the corresponding technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
