Based on the hardware structure of the mobile terminal 100 and the communication network system, various embodiments of the method of the present invention are provided.
First, the present invention provides a mobile terminal, which includes a memory, a processor, and a state switching program 400 stored in the memory and operable on the processor.
Fig. 3 is a functional block diagram of a state switching procedure 400 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the state switching program 400 may be divided into one or more modules, and the one or more modules are stored in the memory 109 of the mobile terminal 100 and executed by one or more processors (in this embodiment, the controller 110) to complete the present invention. For example, in fig. 3, the state switching program 400 may be divided into a detection module 401, a state acquisition module 402, and a switching module 403. The module referred to in the present invention refers to a series of computer program instruction segments capable of performing specific functions, and is more suitable than a computer program for describing the execution process of software in the mobile terminal 100. The specific functions of the above-described functional modules 401 to 403 will be described in detail below. Wherein:
the detecting module 401 is configured to detect whether a holding gesture of the mobile terminal by the user changes.
In this embodiment, the mobile terminal may detect a holding gesture of the user on the mobile terminal in real time, and further determine whether the holding gesture changes. Specifically, the method for detecting the holding gesture of the user on the mobile terminal comprises the following steps: (1) acquiring a touch position of current touch operation in an edge touch area of the mobile terminal; (2) and determining the holding gesture of the user on the mobile terminal according to the touch position. The edge touch area can be a touch area arranged on the left side and the right side of the mobile terminal, and can also be a left edge area and a right edge area on a front touch screen of the mobile terminal. In this embodiment, an edge touch area is taken as an example of touch areas set on left and right side edges of a mobile terminal, and at this time, it is required that touch areas are set on the left and right side edges of the mobile terminal, and are used for detecting touch operations on the left and right side edges, please refer to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the mobile terminal of the present invention, in fig. 7, reference sign a represents a touch area on the left side edge of the mobile terminal, reference sign B represents a touch area on the right side edge of the mobile terminal, and the touch area may be any type of touch screens such as a pressure touch technology touch screen, a resistance technology touch screen, a capacitance technology touch screen, an infrared technology touch screen, a surface acoustic wave technology touch screen, and the like. In general, when a user holds a mobile terminal, a force is applied to an edge touch area of the mobile terminal, and different holding gestures and different positions of touch operations are distributed, so that the current holding gesture can be determined by detecting the touch position of the current touch operation in the touch areas on the left side and the right side.
The state obtaining module 402 is configured to obtain a current state of the mobile terminal when the holding gesture changes, where the current state includes a standby state and a working state.
Specifically, the standby state refers to a state in which the electronic device such as a mobile phone or a computer is powered on but does not perform any substantial work, that is, a state in which the electronic device is powered on but does not operate a file or a program; the operation state refers to a state in which the mobile terminal is performing a substantial operation. In the invention, the holding gesture of the user to the mobile terminal comprises a working gesture and a non-working gesture, wherein the working gesture represents the holding gesture of the user to the mobile terminal when the user uses the mobile terminal, and the non-working gesture represents the holding gesture of the user to the mobile terminal when the user does not use the mobile terminal currently. It should be noted that the working gesture and the non-working gesture are defined according to the common usage habit of most users, and the holding gesture has certain universality. Referring to fig. 8 and 9, fig. 8 is a schematic view of various embodiments of a working gesture in the present invention, and fig. 9 is a schematic view of an embodiment of a non-working gesture in the present invention, specifically, four holding gestures G1, G2, G3, and G4 in fig. 8 all represent working gestures, that is, when the holding gesture is detected as G1, G2, G3, or G4, all are determined as working gestures, and the holding gesture represents that a user is currently using a mobile phone, such as browsing a video or watching a novel; the grip gesture G5 in FIG. 9 represents a non-working gesture, which in turn represents that the user is not currently using the handset. Taking the holding gestures shown in fig. 8 and 9 as an example, when the holding gesture is detected through the touch regions on the left and the right sides, since the contact areas between the user's hand and the left and the right sides of the mobile terminal are different when the mobile terminal is held by using different holding gestures, which kind of holding gesture the user belongs to can be determined through the touch position of the current touch operation detected by the touch region. Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of touch positions corresponding to the work gestures G1 and G3 in fig. 8, and P1 in fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of a touch position corresponding to the work gesture G1, wherein shaded areas shown in X1 and X2 indicate touch positions of the current touch operation when the hold gesture is the work gesture G1, that is, when the work gesture G1 is the touch position of the right side touch area X1 and the left side touch area X2 of the mobile terminal form touch positions of the work gesture, and the top touch area X2 of the left side is smaller than the top touch area X1 of the right side; similarly, P3 in fig. 10 represents a schematic diagram of a touch position corresponding to the work gesture G3, where shaded areas shown by X3 and X4 represent touch positions of a current touch operation when the hold gesture is the work gesture G3, that is, when the work gesture G3 is performed, the bottom touch area X3 on the left side of the mobile terminal and the middle touch area X4 on the right side form touch positions of the work gesture, and the middle touch area X4 on the right side is smaller than the bottom touch area X3 on the left side. It should be noted that fig. 10 only schematically shows that when holding gestures are different, detected touch positions are also different, so that the holding gestures can be determined, and when users are different in practice and holding gesture habits are different, specific positions of the holding gestures may be distributed differently, so that a determination criterion of the holding gestures may be set in advance for specific users, or a determination criterion of the holding gestures may be set according to usage habits of most users, which is not described in detail herein.
The switching module 403 is configured to switch the mobile terminal from the current state to the standby state when the current state is the working state and the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the non-working gesture, and switch the mobile terminal from the current state to the working state when the current state is the standby state and the holding gesture is switched from the non-working gesture to the working gesture. That is, when the current state of the mobile terminal is an active state and the holding gesture is switched from G1, G2, G3 or G4 shown in fig. 8 to G5 shown in fig. 9, the mobile terminal is switched from the active state to a standby state; when the current state of the mobile terminal is in a standby state and the holding gesture is switched from G5 shown in FIG. 9 to G1, G2, G3 or G4 shown in FIG. 8, the mobile terminal is switched from the standby state to an operating state.
Through the modules 401 to 403, the state switching program of the present invention detects whether the holding gesture of the user on the mobile terminal changes, and when the holding gesture changes, obtains the current state of the mobile terminal, and when the current state is the working state and the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the non-working gesture, switches the mobile terminal from the current state to the standby state, and when the current state is the standby state and the holding gesture is switched from the non-working gesture to the working gesture, switches the mobile terminal from the current state to the working state, thereby realizing automatic switching of the state of the mobile terminal according to the holding gesture of the user, avoiding frequent manual switching of the user, and improving user experience; and the holding gesture of the user has a certain mapping relation with the operation which the user wants to perform, so that the state switching of the mobile terminal is controlled by the holding gesture to meet the actual requirement of the user.
Further, based on the above-described first embodiment of the state-switching program 400 of the present invention, a second embodiment of the state-switching program 400 of the present invention is proposed. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a functional block diagram illustrating a state switching procedure 400 according to a second embodiment of the present invention, wherein compared with the first embodiment, the state switching procedure 400 further includes a determining module 404 in the present embodiment. In this embodiment, each functional module is described as follows:
the determining module 404 is configured to determine whether a duration of the current holding gesture is greater than a preset duration when the holding gesture changes, and if the determination result is yes, execute the state obtaining module 402. In this embodiment, after the holding gesture of the mobile terminal changes, it is determined whether the duration of the current holding gesture is greater than a preset duration, so as to prevent the current holding gesture from being a transient state, and only when the duration of the current holding gesture is greater than the preset duration, it is determined that the current holding gesture is stable. The preset time duration may be a numerical value randomly set by a user or a program developer according to the use habit of the user, for example, the preset time duration is 3 seconds, 5 seconds, and the like.
In addition, in this embodiment, the non-working gestures include a first gesture and a second gesture, the first gesture is used to indicate that the user holds the mobile terminal but does not use the mobile terminal, the second gesture indicates that the user does not hold the mobile terminal, a schematic diagram of the first gesture is shown in fig. 9, a schematic diagram of the second gesture is shown in fig. 10, and fig. 10 indicates that the user does not hold the mobile terminal at this time, and the holding gesture corresponding to this state is denoted as a second gesture G6. The switching module 403 is specifically configured to implement: (1) if the current state is the working state and the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the first gesture, switching the mobile terminal from the current state to the standby state, namely switching the mobile terminal from the working state to the standby state and not locking the screen of the mobile terminal when the holding gesture is switched from the holding gesture G1, G2, G3 or G4 shown in FIG. 8 to the holding gesture G5 shown in FIG. 9; (2) if the current state is the working state and the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the second gesture, the current state of the mobile terminal is switched to the standby state, and the mobile terminal is locked, that is, when the holding gesture is switched from the holding gesture G1, G2, G3 or G4 shown in fig. 8 to the holding gesture G6 shown in fig. 10, the working state of the mobile terminal is switched to the standby state, and the mobile terminal is locked. Wherein, do not lock the screen when holding the gesture and switching into first gesture, and lock the screen when holding the gesture and switching into the second gesture because: in the process of switching the holding gesture of the mobile terminal from the working gesture to the first gesture, a user always contacts (holds) the mobile terminal, the process is usually the process of switching the gesture of the same user and is recorded as a seamless switching process, and because the same user operates the mobile terminal, the possibility of potential safety hazards is very low, so that screen locking is not needed; on the contrary, in the process of switching the holding gesture of the mobile terminal into the second gesture from the working gesture, the user does not hold the mobile terminal under the condition of the second gesture, the process is usually an application scene that the user puts down the mobile terminal, and the process is recorded as a non-seamless switching process.
In this embodiment, since the screen of the mobile terminal is not locked when the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the first gesture, and the screen is locked when the holding gesture is switched to the second gesture, when the non-working gesture of the mobile terminal is switched to the working gesture, an opposite operation needs to be performed on the mobile terminal. Specifically, the switching module 403 is further configured to implement: (3) if the current state is a standby state and the holding gesture is switched from the first gesture to a working gesture, switching the mobile terminal from the current state to the working state, and entering a standby front interface, that is, when the holding gesture is switched from the holding gesture G5 shown in fig. 9 to the holding gesture G1, G2, G3 or G4 shown in fig. 8, switching the mobile terminal from the standby state to the working state and directly entering the standby front interface, at this time, the unlocking is not required because the mobile terminal is not locked in the state of the holding gesture G5; (4) if the current state is the standby state and the holding gesture is switched from the second gesture to the working gesture, the mobile terminal is switched from the current state to the working state, and the unlocking operation of the user on the mobile terminal is received to enter a standby front interface, that is, when the holding gesture is switched from the holding gesture G6 shown in fig. 10 to the holding gesture G1, G2, G3 or G4 shown in fig. 8, the mobile terminal is switched from the standby state to the working state and enters the standby front interface after receiving the unlocking operation of the user, at this time, the user needs to unlock the mobile terminal because the mobile terminal is locked in the state of the holding gesture G6.
Through the modules 401 to 404, the non-working gesture in the state switching program 400 provided by the present invention includes the first gesture and the second gesture, the screen is not locked when the current state is the working state and the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the first gesture, the screen is locked when the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the second gesture, and the mobile terminal directly enters the standby front interface when the current state is the standby state and the holding gesture is switched from the first gesture to the working gesture, and the mobile terminal enters the standby front interface after receiving the unlocking operation of the user when the holding gesture is switched from the second gesture to the working gesture.
In addition, the present invention provides a state switching method, which is applied to the mobile terminal shown in fig. 1 to 2, and the mobile terminal includes a memory and a processor.
Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a state switching method according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the execution order of the steps in the flowchart shown in fig. 5 may be changed and some steps may be omitted according to different requirements. The state switching method comprises the following steps:
step S501, detecting whether the holding gesture of the user on the mobile terminal changes.
In this embodiment, the mobile terminal may detect a holding gesture of the user on the mobile terminal in real time, and further determine whether the holding gesture changes. Specifically, the method for detecting the holding gesture of the user on the mobile terminal comprises the following steps: (1) acquiring a touch position of current touch operation in an edge touch area of the mobile terminal; (2) and determining the holding gesture of the user on the mobile terminal according to the touch position. The edge touch area can be a touch area arranged on the left side and the right side of the mobile terminal, and can also be a left edge area and a right edge area on a front touch screen of the mobile terminal. In this embodiment, an edge touch area is taken as an example of touch areas set on left and right side edges of a mobile terminal, and at this time, it is required that touch areas are set on the left and right side edges of the mobile terminal, and are used for detecting touch operations on the left and right side edges, please refer to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the mobile terminal of the present invention, in fig. 7, reference sign a represents a touch area on the left side edge of the mobile terminal, reference sign B represents a touch area on the right side edge of the mobile terminal, and the touch area may be any type of touch screens such as a pressure touch technology touch screen, a resistance technology touch screen, a capacitance technology touch screen, an infrared technology touch screen, a surface acoustic wave technology touch screen, and the like. In general, when a user holds a mobile terminal, a force is applied to an edge touch area of the mobile terminal, and different holding gestures and different positions of touch operations are distributed, so that the current holding gesture can be determined by detecting the touch position of the current touch operation in the touch areas on the left side and the right side.
Step S502, when the holding gesture changes, the current state of the mobile terminal is obtained, and the current state comprises a standby state and a working state.
Specifically, the standby state refers to a state in which the electronic device such as a mobile phone or a computer is powered on but does not perform any substantial work, that is, a state in which the electronic device is powered on but does not operate a file or a program; the operation state refers to a state in which the mobile terminal is performing a substantial operation. In the invention, the holding gesture of the user to the mobile terminal comprises a working gesture and a non-working gesture, wherein the working gesture represents the holding gesture of the user to the mobile terminal when the user uses the mobile terminal, and the non-working gesture represents the holding gesture of the user to the mobile terminal when the user does not use the mobile terminal currently. It should be noted that the working gesture and the non-working gesture are defined according to the common usage habit of most users, and the holding gesture has certain universality. Referring to fig. 8 and 9, fig. 8 is a schematic view of various embodiments of a working gesture in the present invention, and fig. 9 is a schematic view of an embodiment of a non-working gesture in the present invention, specifically, four holding gestures G1, G2, G3, and G4 in fig. 8 all represent working gestures, that is, when the holding gesture is detected as G1, G2, G3, or G4, all are determined as working gestures, and the holding gesture represents that a user is currently using a mobile phone, such as browsing a video or watching a novel; the grip gesture G5 in FIG. 9 represents a non-working gesture, which in turn represents that the user is not currently using the handset. Taking the holding gestures shown in fig. 8 and 9 as an example, when the holding gesture is detected through the touch regions on the left and the right sides, since the contact areas between the user's hand and the left and the right sides of the mobile terminal are different when the mobile terminal is held by using different holding gestures, which kind of holding gesture the user belongs to can be determined through the touch position of the current touch operation detected by the touch region. Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of touch positions corresponding to the work gestures G1 and G3 in fig. 8, and P1 in fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of a touch position corresponding to the work gesture G1, wherein shaded areas shown in X1 and X2 indicate touch positions of the current touch operation when the hold gesture is the work gesture G1, that is, when the work gesture G1 is the touch position of the right side touch area X1 and the left side touch area X2 of the mobile terminal form touch positions of the work gesture, and the top touch area X2 of the left side is smaller than the top touch area X1 of the right side; similarly, P3 in fig. 10 represents a schematic diagram of a touch position corresponding to the work gesture G3, where shaded areas shown by X3 and X4 represent touch positions of a current touch operation when the hold gesture is the work gesture G3, that is, when the work gesture G3 is performed, the bottom touch area X3 on the left side of the mobile terminal and the middle touch area X4 on the right side form touch positions of the work gesture, and the middle touch area X4 on the right side is smaller than the bottom touch area X3 on the left side. It should be noted that fig. 10 only schematically shows that when holding gestures are different, detected touch positions are also different, so that the holding gestures can be determined, and when users are different in practice and holding gesture habits are different, specific positions of the holding gestures may be distributed differently, so that a determination criterion of the holding gestures may be set in advance for specific users, or a determination criterion of the holding gestures may be set according to usage habits of most users, which is not described in detail herein.
Step S503, if the current state is the working state and the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the non-working gesture, switching the mobile terminal from the current state to the standby state. That is, when the current state of the mobile terminal is an active state and the holding gesture is switched from G1, G2, G3 or G4 shown in fig. 8 to G5 shown in fig. 9, the mobile terminal is switched from the active state to the standby state.
Step S504, if the current state is the standby state and the holding gesture is switched from the non-working gesture to the working gesture, the mobile terminal is switched from the current state to the working state. That is, when the current state of the mobile terminal is in the standby state and the grip gesture is switched from G5 shown in fig. 9 to G1, G2, G3 or G4 shown in fig. 8, the mobile terminal is switched from the standby state to the active state.
Through the steps S501-S504, the state switching method of the invention detects whether the holding gesture of the user to the mobile terminal changes, acquires the current state of the mobile terminal when the holding gesture changes, switches the mobile terminal from the current state to the standby state when the current state is the working state and the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the non-working gesture, and switches the mobile terminal from the current state to the working state when the current state is the standby state and the holding gesture is switched from the non-working gesture to the working gesture, thereby realizing the automatic switching of the state of the mobile terminal according to the holding gesture of the user, avoiding the frequent manual switching of the user, and improving the user experience; and the holding gesture of the user has a certain mapping relation with the operation which the user wants to perform, so that the state switching of the mobile terminal is controlled by the holding gesture to meet the actual requirement of the user.
Further, based on the first embodiment described above, a second embodiment of the state switching method of the present invention is proposed. Fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a second embodiment of a state switching method according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the execution order of the steps in the flowchart shown in fig. 6 may be changed and some steps may be omitted according to different requirements. The state switching method comprises the following steps:
step S601, obtaining a touch position of the current touch operation in an edge touch area of the mobile terminal, and determining a holding gesture of a user on the mobile terminal according to the touch position. It should be noted that, in the present invention, the holding gesture of the user on the mobile terminal is detected through the touch areas on the left and right sides of the mobile terminal, and any method capable of detecting the holding gesture is applicable to the present invention, and other methods are not described one by one in the present invention.
Step S602, detecting whether the holding gesture of the user on the mobile terminal changes, if so, executing step S603, otherwise, repeatedly executing step S602.
Step S603, determining whether the duration of the current holding gesture is greater than a preset duration, if so, executing step S604, otherwise, repeatedly executing step S602.
In this embodiment, after the holding gesture of the mobile terminal changes, it is determined whether the duration of the current holding gesture is greater than a preset duration, so as to prevent the current holding gesture from being a transient state, and only when the duration of the current holding gesture is greater than the preset duration, it is determined that the current holding gesture is stable. The preset time duration may be a numerical value randomly set by a user or a program developer according to the use habit of the user, for example, the preset time duration is 3 seconds, 5 seconds, and the like.
Step S604, acquiring the current state of the mobile terminal, and executing step S605 and step S606.
Step S605, if the current state is the working state and the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the non-working gesture, switching the mobile terminal from the current state to the standby state.
In this embodiment, the holding gesture of the user on the mobile terminal includes a working gesture and a non-working gesture, where the non-working gesture includes a first gesture and a second gesture, the first gesture is used to indicate that the user holds the mobile terminal but does not use the mobile terminal, the second gesture indicates that the user does not hold the mobile terminal, a schematic diagram of the first gesture is shown in fig. 9, a schematic diagram of the second gesture is shown in fig. 10, fig. 10 indicates that the user does not hold the mobile terminal at this time, and the holding gesture corresponding to this state is recorded as the second gesture G6. In this case, step S605 specifically includes: (1) if the current state is the working state and the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the first gesture, switching the mobile terminal from the current state to the standby state, namely switching the mobile terminal from the working state to the standby state and not locking the screen of the mobile terminal when the holding gesture is switched from the holding gesture G1, G2, G3 or G4 shown in FIG. 8 to the holding gesture G5 shown in FIG. 9; (2) if the current state is the working state and the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the second gesture, the current state of the mobile terminal is switched to the standby state, and the mobile terminal is locked, that is, when the holding gesture is switched from the holding gesture G1, G2, G3 or G4 shown in fig. 8 to the holding gesture G6 shown in fig. 10, the working state of the mobile terminal is switched to the standby state, and the mobile terminal is locked. Wherein, do not lock the screen when holding the gesture and switching into first gesture, and lock the screen when holding the gesture and switching into the second gesture because: in the process of switching the holding gesture of the mobile terminal from the working gesture to the first gesture, a user always contacts (holds) the mobile terminal, the process is usually the process of switching the gesture of the same user and is recorded as a seamless switching process, and because the same user operates the mobile terminal, the possibility of potential safety hazards is very low, so that screen locking is not needed; on the contrary, in the process of switching the holding gesture of the mobile terminal into the second gesture from the working gesture, the user does not hold the mobile terminal under the condition of the second gesture, the process is usually an application scene that the user puts down the mobile terminal, and the process is recorded as a non-seamless switching process.
Step S606, if the current state is the standby state and the holding gesture is switched from the non-working gesture to the working gesture, switching the current state of the mobile terminal to the working state.
In this embodiment, since the screen of the mobile terminal is not locked when the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the first gesture, and the screen is locked when the holding gesture is switched to the second gesture, when the non-working gesture of the mobile terminal is switched to the working gesture, an opposite operation needs to be performed on the mobile terminal. Specifically, step S606 includes: (1) if the current state is a standby state and the holding gesture is switched from the first gesture to a working gesture, switching the mobile terminal from the current state to the working state, and entering a standby front interface, that is, when the holding gesture is switched from the holding gesture G5 shown in fig. 9 to the holding gesture G1, G2, G3 or G4 shown in fig. 8, switching the mobile terminal from the standby state to the working state and directly entering the standby front interface, at this time, the unlocking is not required because the mobile terminal is not locked in the state of the holding gesture G5; (2) if the current state is the standby state and the holding gesture is switched from the second gesture to the working gesture, the mobile terminal is switched from the current state to the working state, and the unlocking operation of the user on the mobile terminal is received to enter a standby front interface, that is, when the holding gesture is switched from the holding gesture G6 shown in fig. 10 to the holding gesture G1, G2, G3 or G4 shown in fig. 8, the mobile terminal is switched from the standby state to the working state and enters the standby front interface after receiving the unlocking operation of the user, at this time, the user needs to unlock the mobile terminal because the mobile terminal is locked in the state of the holding gesture G6.
Through the steps S601 to S606, the non-working gestures in the state switching method of the present invention include the first gesture and the second gesture, the screen is not locked when the current state is the working state and the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the first gesture, the screen is locked when the holding gesture is switched from the working gesture to the second gesture, and the mobile terminal directly enters the standby front interface when the current state is the standby state and the holding gesture is switched from the first gesture to the working gesture, and the mobile terminal enters the standby front interface after receiving the unlocking operation of the user when the holding gesture is switched from the second gesture to the working gesture.
