The processing unit is coupled to each sensor. When the mobile electronic device executes a sound prompt and/or a vibration prompt corresponding to an event, the processing unit determines whether the sensor detects touch and whether the mobile electronic device is moved at the same time. According to the judgment result that the sensor detects touch and the mobile electronic device is moved at the same time, the processing unit weakens or directly closes the playing volume of the sound prompt and/or the vibration intensity of the vibration prompt.
The invention also provides a mobile electronic device, which comprises a judging component and an adjusting component. The judging component is used for judging whether at least two detection parts of the mobile electronic device simultaneously detect touch and whether the mobile electronic device is moved when the mobile electronic device executes sound prompt and/or vibration prompt corresponding to an event, and the detection parts are mutually independent. The adjusting means is used for weakening or directly closing the playing volume of the sound prompt and/or the vibration intensity of the vibration prompt according to the judgment result that the detection parts simultaneously detect the touch and the mobile electronic device is moved.
The present invention further provides a computer program product, comprising at least one program instruction for loading a mobile electronic device, wherein the program instruction can execute the method for adjusting the event prompting level after loading the mobile electronic device.
Based on the above, after the mobile electronic device receives the event and executes the corresponding prompt, the prompt degree can be automatically reduced as long as the mobile electronic device is judged to be touched or moved by the user, so that the continuous event prompt is prevented from interfering with other people.

Detailed Description
Generally, once the event prompt sent by the mobile electronic device reaches the purpose of notifying the user, the user does not need to continue to execute the event prompt effect. The present invention is a method for adjusting the event prompting degree, and a mobile electronic device and a computer program product using the method. In order to make the content of the present invention more clear, the following specific examples are given as examples according to which the present invention can be actually carried out.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a mobile electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 1, the mobile electronic device 100 includes two sensors 110 and 120 and a processing unit 130. The mobile electronic device 100 may be a mobile phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) mobile phone, a smart phone (smart phone), a Digital camera (Digital camera), a music player (music player), a game player (game device), or any other mobile electronic device with an event notification function, and includes two (or more) sensors. For convenience of illustration, it is assumed in the present embodiment that the mobile electronic device 100 has two sensors 110 and 120. The sensors 110 and 120 may be capacitive sensors, pressure sensors (e.g., resistive sensors), temperature sensors, optical sensors, etc., or any other sensor capable of detecting touch. The sensors 110 and 120 each correspond to a detection portion of the mobile electronic device 100, and the two detection portions are independent of each other. For example, the detection portions corresponding to the sensor 110 and the sensor 120 may be respectively located at two sides of the mobile electronic device 100, as shown in fig. 2. The processing unit 130 may be hardware (e.g., a chipset), a software component, or a combination of hardware and software components with arithmetic processing capabilities. When the mobile electronic device 100 executes a vibration prompt corresponding to an event, the processing unit 130 determines the action of the user according to the information provided by the sensors 110 and 120, and adjusts the vibration intensity of the vibration prompt at an appropriate time.
The operation of the mobile electronic device 100 will be further described below. Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for adjusting the event prompting level according to an embodiment of the invention, please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 3 simultaneously. First, when the mobile electronic device 100 receives an event, as shown in step 310, the mobile electronic device 100 executes a vibration prompt corresponding to the event. The event may be an incoming call, a short message, an email, an alarm, a calendar reminder, or any event that can trigger the mobile electronic device 100 to execute a vibration reminder.
Next, in step 320, the processing unit 130 determines whether all sensors (e.g., the sensors 110 and 120) located at each detection portion detect a touch at the same time, and if so, proceeds to step 330. For example, if the sensors 110 and 120 are pressure sensors, the processing unit 130 determines that both the sensors 110 and 120 detect a touch when the pressure detected by both the sensors 110 and 120 exceeds a predetermined pressure. In one embodiment of the present invention, in step 320, the processing unit 130 determines whether all sensors (e.g., the sensors 110 and 120) detect human body touch, and if so, proceeds to step 330. For example, if the sensors 110 and 120 are capacitive sensors, when the sensors 110 and 120 detect a conductor, the processing unit 130 determines that the sensors 110 and 120 detect a human touch; for another example, if the sensors 110 and 120 are temperature sensors, the processing unit 130 determines that both the sensors 110 and 120 detect human body touch when the temperatures detected by the sensors 110 and 120 exceed a predetermined temperature; for another example, if the sensors 110 and 120 are optical sensors, the processing unit 130 determines that both the sensors 110 and 120 detect human touch when the detected brightness of both the sensors 110 and 120 is lower than a predetermined brightness. The present invention is not limited to the method for detecting the human touch by the sensor 110 or the sensor 120.
Next, in step 330, the processing unit 130 attenuates the vibration intensity of the vibration indication. For example, the processing unit 130 may gradually decrease the vibration intensity of the vibration indication to the minimum vibration intensity, or directly turn off the vibration indication. In another embodiment of the present invention, if, in step 310, when an event is received, the mobile electronic device 100 executes a ring alert corresponding to the event in addition to the vibration alert corresponding to the event, then in step 330, the processing unit 130 decreases the playing volume of the ring alert in addition to decreasing the vibration intensity of the vibration alert by the processing unit 130. For example, the processing unit 130 may gradually decrease the playing volume of the ring alert to the minimum playing volume, or directly turn off the ring alert.
Accordingly, when the mobile electronic device 100 performs the vibration and/or ring alert, the user only needs to touch two (or more) detection portions of the mobile electronic device 100 at the same time, and the mobile electronic device 100 automatically attenuates or turns off the vibration and/or ring alert to avoid interfering with others.
Referring to fig. 4 and 5, fig. 4 is a block diagram of a mobile electronic device according to another embodiment of the invention, and fig. 5 is a flowchart of a method for adjusting an event prompting level according to another embodiment of the invention. The embodiment shown in fig. 4 is a variation of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, and is different in that the mobile electronic device 400 further includes an acceleration sensor (g-sensor)440 in addition to the sensors 410 and 420 and the processing unit 430. Since the sensor 410, the sensor 420, and the processing unit 430 of the embodiment are the same as or similar to the sensor 110, the sensor 120, and the processing unit 130 of the mobile electronic device 100, they are not described herein again.
The processing unit 430 can obtain the acceleration information and/or the angle information of the mobile electronic device 400 by using the acceleration sensor 440, and further determine whether the mobile electronic device 400 is moved by using the information.
FIG. 5 is similar to the steps of FIG. 3, except that step 320 of FIG. 3 is replaced with step 520 in FIG. 5. In step 520, when the mobile electronic device 400 is performing vibration indication, the processing unit 430 determines whether the mobile electronic device 400 is moved according to the information of the mobile electronic device 400 acquired by the acceleration sensor 440, in addition to determining whether the sensors (i.e., the sensors 410 and 420) located at the respective detection portions detect touch at the same time by the processing unit 430.
For example, the processing unit 430 may obtain an initial acceleration of the mobile electronic device 400 when the event is received and a current acceleration of the mobile electronic device 400 through the acceleration sensor 440, thereby calculating an acceleration change of the mobile electronic device 400. When the acceleration variation is greater than an acceleration threshold, the processing unit 430 determines that the mobile electronic device 400 is moved. In addition, the processing unit 430 may also obtain the initial angle of the mobile electronic device 400 when receiving the event and the current angle of the mobile electronic device 400 through the information provided by the acceleration sensor 440, and further estimate the angle change of the mobile electronic device 400. Once the angle variation is greater than the angle threshold, the processing unit 430 determines that the mobile electronic device 400 is moved.
In step 520, if the processing unit 430 determines that the sensors 410 and 420 respectively located at the two detection portions detect touch at the same time and the mobile electronic device 400 is moved, then step 530 is performed. In step 530, the processing unit 430 attenuates the vibration intensity of the vibration prompt. Since step 530 is the same as or similar to step 330, it will not be described herein again.
It should be noted that, in step 520, the processing unit 430 may first determine whether the sensors 410 and 420 detect a touch at the same time, and then determine whether the mobile electronic device 400 is moved. In addition, the processing unit 430 may also determine whether the mobile electronic device 400 is moved first, and then determine whether the sensors 410 and 420 detect touch at the same time. In other words, the sequence of determining whether the mobile electronic device 400 is touched and whether the mobile electronic device 400 is moved is not limited in the present invention.
Accordingly, when the mobile electronic device 400 performs the vibration and/or ring alert, the user only needs to touch two (or more) detection portions of the mobile electronic device 400 at the same time and move the mobile electronic device 400, so that the mobile electronic device 400 automatically attenuates the vibration and/or ring alert to avoid interfering with others.
Fig. 6 is a block diagram of a mobile electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 6, the mobile electronic device 600 includes a sensor 610 and a processing unit 620. The mobile electronic device 600 may be a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant mobile phone, a smart phone, a digital camera, a music player, a game console, or any other mobile electronic device with an event prompt function. The sensor 610 is, for example, an acceleration sensor, and can detect the tilt angle and the acceleration variation of the mobile electronic device 600. The processing unit 620 is connected to the sensor 610, and may be hardware (e.g., a chipset), a software component, or a combination of hardware and software components with computing capability. When the mobile electronic device 600 performs a vibration indication of an event, the processing unit 620 determines whether the mobile electronic device 600 is moved by using information provided by the sensor 610. If the processing unit 620 determines that the mobile electronic device 600 is moved, the processing unit 620 automatically adjusts the degree of event notification.
The operation of the mobile electronic device 600 will be further described below. Fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method for adjusting the event prompting level according to an embodiment of the invention, please refer to fig. 6 and fig. 7 simultaneously. First, when the mobile electronic device 600 receives an event, as shown in step 710, the mobile electronic device 600 executes a vibration prompt corresponding to the event. The event may be an incoming call, a short message, an email, an alarm, a calendar reminder, or any event that can trigger the mobile electronic device 600 to perform a vibration reminder.
Next, in step 720, the processing unit 620 determines whether the mobile electronic device 600 is moved. The processing unit 620 can determine whether the mobile electronic device 600 is moved according to the angle change and/or the acceleration change of the mobile electronic device 600 measured by the sensor 610. Since the detailed determination steps are the same as or similar to those of the previous embodiments, they are not described herein again.
In step 720, if the processing unit 620 determines that the mobile electronic device 600 is moved, the process proceeds to step 730. In step 730, the processing unit 620 attenuates the vibration intensity of the vibration prompt. For example, the processing unit 620 may gradually reduce the vibration intensity of the vibration indication, or directly turn off the vibration indication. If the mobile electronic device 600 executes the ring alert corresponding to the event at the same time, the processing unit 620 may also decrease the playing volume of the ring alert or directly turn off the ring alert.
Fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a method for adjusting the degree of event prompting according to another embodiment of the invention. In the embodiment shown in fig. 8, before determining whether the mobile electronic device 600 is moved (step 830), the processing unit 620 must first determine whether the mobile electronic device 600 is in a stable state at the time of receiving the event (step 820). Please refer to fig. 6 and fig. 8. After the mobile electronic device 600 executes a vibration indication corresponding to an event (step 810), the processing unit 620 determines whether the mobile electronic device 600 is in a stable state (step 820). For example, the processing unit 620 first obtains the acceleration variation of the mobile electronic device 600 through the sensor 610. In one embodiment, if the time when the acceleration variation is kept within a predetermined range reaches a predetermined value (e.g., 0.1 seconds), it is determined that the mobile electronic device 600 is in a stable state. That is, as long as the acceleration variation of the mobile electronic device 600 can be kept within the preset range for a certain period of time, the processing unit 620 determines that the mobile electronic device 600 is in a stable state (e.g., stationary).
In another embodiment, the processing unit 620 obtains the acceleration variation of the mobile electronic device 600 several times at different times, and if the number of acceleration variations exceeding the preset range is within the allowable range (for example, the ratio between the number of acceleration variations exceeding the preset range and the obtained number of acceleration variations does not exceed a threshold), the processing unit 620 also determines that the mobile electronic device 600 is in the stable state. For example, assume that the processing unit 620 obtains the acceleration changes of the mobile electronic device 600 at five time points. If the acceleration variation at only one time point exceeds the preset range, the processing unit 620 still determines that the mobile electronic device 600 is in the stable state. Accordingly, the determination of the steady state becomes more flexible.
As long as the mobile electronic device 600 is not in a stable state, the processing unit 620 continues to determine until the mobile electronic device 600 is in a stable state, and then the processing unit 620 determines whether the mobile electronic device 600 is moved as shown in step 830. Since the steps of determining whether the mobile electronic device 600 is moved are the same as or similar to those of the previous embodiments, they are not repeated herein.
If the processing unit 620 determines that the mobile electronic device 600 is moved, the processing unit 620 reduces the vibration intensity of the vibration indication as shown in step 840. For example, the processing unit 620 may gradually reduce the vibration intensity of the vibration prompt, or directly turn off the vibration prompt. If the event received by the mobile electronic device 600 has a corresponding ring alert, the processing unit 620 may also decrease the playing volume of the ring alert or directly turn off the ring alert.
Fig. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a method for adjusting the degree of event prompting according to another embodiment of the invention. In the embodiment shown in fig. 9, the processing unit 620 must first determine whether the mobile electronic device 600 is in a horizontal state at the time of receiving the event before determining whether the mobile electronic device 600 is moved. Referring to fig. 6 and 9, after the mobile electronic device 600 executes a vibration prompt corresponding to an event (step 910), the processing unit 620 determines whether the mobile electronic device 600 is in a horizontal state by using information provided by the sensor 610 (step 920). In detail, since the sensor 610 can detect the angle data of the mobile electronic device 600 in the three-dimensional space corresponding to the X-axis, the Y-axis and the Z-axis, the processing unit 620 can obtain the tilt angle of the mobile electronic device 600 through the sensor 610. When the tilt angle is within a predetermined range (e.g., 0-45 degrees), the processing unit 620 determines that the mobile electronic device 600 is in a horizontal state.
After the processing unit 620 determines that the mobile electronic device 600 is in the horizontal state, the processing unit 620 then determines whether the mobile electronic device 600 is moved (step 930). Similarly, the processing unit 620 can determine whether the mobile electronic device 600 is moved according to the acceleration variation or the angle variation provided by the sensor 510.
If the mobile electronic device 600 is determined to be moved, the processing unit 620 attenuates the vibration intensity of the vibration indication (step 940). For example, the processing unit 620 may gradually decrease the vibration intensity or directly turn off the vibration indication. In another embodiment, the processing unit 620 may further decrease the playing volume of the ring alert corresponding to the event or directly turn off the ring alert when the vibration intensity of the vibration alert is reduced.
Fig. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a method for adjusting the degree of event prompting according to another embodiment of the invention. In the embodiment shown in fig. 10, the processing unit 620 must first determine whether the mobile electronic device 600 is in a stable and level state at the time of the reception event before determining whether the mobile electronic device 600 is moved. Referring to fig. 6 and 10, after the mobile electronic device 600 executes the vibration indication corresponding to an event (step 1010), the processing unit 620 determines whether the mobile electronic device 600 is in a stable state and also determines whether the mobile electronic device 600 is in a horizontal state (step 1020). In the embodiment, the processing unit 620 also determines whether the mobile electronic device 600 is in the stable state or the horizontal state by using the information provided by the sensor 610, but the determination method is the same as or similar to that of the previous embodiment, and thus is not described herein again.
After determining that the mobile electronic device 600 is stable and level, the processing unit 620 then determines whether the mobile electronic device 600 is moved (step 1030). And after determining that the mobile electronic device 600 is moved, the vibration intensity of the vibration prompt is reduced (step 1040). In addition, the processing unit 620 may also directly turn off the vibration alert, reduce the play volume of the ring alert corresponding to the event, or directly turn off the play volume.
As described above, before the mobile electronic device 600 is moved to lower the degree of event notification, the processing unit 620 first has to determine whether the mobile electronic device 600 is in a stable state, in a horizontal state, or in both a stable state and a horizontal state. The above determination will eliminate the situation that the mobile electronic device 600 is placed in a pocket or a backpack by the user and moved as the user walks. That is, the event prompting degree is adjusted only when the user is detected and determined to intentionally pick up the mobile electronic device 600, so as to reduce the probability of performing the adjustment operation at an inappropriate time.
Fig. 11 is a block diagram of a mobile electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 11, the mobile electronic device 1100 includes a sensor 1110 and a processing unit 1120 connected to each other. The mobile electronic device 1100 may be a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant mobile phone, a smart phone, a digital camera, a music player, a game console, or any other mobile electronic device with an event notification function.
The sensor 1110 is an acceleration sensor, for example, and can measure the angular variation of the mobile electronic device 1100. The processing unit 1120 is, for example, hardware (e.g., a chipset), a software component, or a combination of hardware and software components with computing capability. When the mobile electronic device 1100 performs a ring alert of an event, the processing unit 1120 determines whether the user picks up the mobile electronic device 1100 by using the information provided by the sensor 1110. If the processing unit 1120 determines that the mobile electronic device 1100 is picked up by the user, the processing unit 1120 automatically adjusts the level of the ring alert.
The operation of the mobile electronic device 1100 will be further described below. Fig. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a method for adjusting the event prompting level according to an embodiment of the invention, please refer to fig. 11 and 12. First, when the mobile electronic device 1100 receives an event, the mobile electronic device 1100 performs a ring alert corresponding to the event, as shown in step 1210. The event can be an incoming call, a short message, an email, an alarm, a calendar reminder, or any event that triggers the mobile electronic device 1100 to perform a ring alert.
Next, in step 1220, the processing unit 1120 determines whether the mobile electronic device 1100 is picked up. The processing unit 1120 determines whether the mobile electronic device 1100 is picked up according to the angle change of the mobile electronic device 1100 measured by the sensor 1110. Further, when the processing unit 1120 determines that the angle change measured by the sensor 1110 is greater than an angle threshold, it determines that the mobile electronic device 1100 is picked up.
After the processing unit 1120 determines that the mobile electronic device 1100 is picked up, the processing unit 1120 decreases the playing volume of the ring alert, as shown in step 1230. In one embodiment, the processing unit 1120 may gradually decrease the playing volume of the ring alert until the ring alert is turned off; in another embodiment, the processing unit 1120 may also directly turn off the ring tone. In addition, in step 1210, if the mobile electronic device 1100 executes the vibration indication corresponding to the event at the same time, in step 1230, the processing unit 1120 may also gradually reduce the vibration intensity of the vibration indication or directly turn off the vibration indication.
The present invention also provides a computer program product, which is basically composed of a plurality of program instructions (e.g., set program instructions or deploy program instructions, etc.). After the mobile electronic device is loaded and executed, the program instructions may complete the steps of the method for adjusting the event prompting level, and enable the mobile electronic device to implement the functions described in the above embodiments. The computer program product can be stored in any data storage device (including rom, ram, tape, floppy disk, hard disk, optical disk, transmission medium, etc.), or can be transmitted directly through a network, without limiting the scope of the invention.
In summary, the embodiments of the present invention determine whether the user touches and/or picks up the mobile electronic device according to the information provided by the sensor when the mobile electronic device executes the vibration alert of the event, and then automatically reduce the intensity of the vibration alert and reduce the volume of the ring alert corresponding to the event when the mobile electronic device is determined to be touched and/or picked up by the user. Therefore, after the user knows that a new event comes by the prompt, the user does not need to manually close the prompt effect by using a menu or a specific key any more, and can achieve the purpose of reducing the event prompt effect more quickly and conveniently, thereby avoiding the interference to other people.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
