Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

Before explaining the embodiments of the present disclosure in detail, an application scenario of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described. At present, the size of a screen of a mobile terminal is getting larger, and when the large screen of the mobile terminal brings a wider operation space and a wider screen view to a user, the single-handed operability of the user on the mobile terminal is also reduced. In order to solve the problem, an edge touch function is gradually added to the mobile terminal. The touch control signal for edge touch control is acquired through a touch control sensor arranged in an edge touch control area of the mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal can be controlled through the acquired touch control signal. However, when the user performs a touch operation on the mobile terminal, the operation habit is different, which may possibly result in occurrence of a false touch operation, and therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a mobile terminal control method to prevent occurrence of the false touch operation and improve operation efficiency of the mobile terminal.

Fig. 2(a) is a schematic structural diagram of a mobile terminal provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and referring to fig. 2(a), the mobile terminal includes a touch screen 1, a first edge touch sensor 2, and a second edge sensor 3.

The touch screen 1 comprises a visible area 11 and a non-visible area 12, wherein the non-visible area 12 comprises an edge touch area 121 and an error touch area 122, the edge touch area 121 is positioned at the left side and the right side of the visible area 11, and the error touch area 122 is positioned at the upper side and the lower side of the visible area 11; the first edge touch sensor 2 is disposed in the edge touch area 121, and the second edge sensor 3 is disposed in the false touch area 122.

Since the first edge touch sensor 2 is disposed in the edge touch area 121 and the second edge touch sensor 3 is disposed in the false touch area 122, when the mobile terminal collects a first touch signal through the first edge touch sensor 2 and a second touch signal through the second edge touch sensor 3, it can be determined whether an edge touch operation is detected based on the signal intensity of the first touch signal and the signal intensity of the second touch signal. And when the edge touch operation is determined to be detected, the mobile terminal is controlled, so that the operation efficiency of the mobile terminal is improved, and the occurrence of error touch operation is reduced.

It should be noted that the edge touch operation is used to trigger an edge touch function, and the edge touch operation may be a single-click operation, a double-click operation, a sliding operation, and the like, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the disclosure.

Referring to fig. 2(b), the second edge sensor 3 may be disposed only at the vertex position of the erroneous-touch region 122

However, the erroneous touch operation is more likely to occur in the region at the vertex position of the erroneous touch region 122 than in the other regions of the erroneous touch region 122. When the first edge touch sensor 2 in the edge touch area 121 is disposed at an area close to the vertex position, and when the first edge touch sensor 2 of the edge touch area 121 acquires a touch signal, it will not be possible to distinguish whether the acquired touch signal is generated by an edge touch operation applied to the edge touch area 121 or due to a mis-touch operation occurring in the area at the vertex position, and therefore, referring to fig. 2(b), the second touch sensor 3 may be disposed only in the area at the vertex position of the mis-touch area 122, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, only schematic diagrams of the mobile terminal shown in fig. 2(a) and 2(b) are taken as an example for description, and fig. 2(a) and 2(b) do not limit the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the first edge touch sensor is disposed in the edge touch area, and the second edge touch sensor is disposed in the false touch area, so that the mobile terminal collects a first touch signal through the first edge touch sensor, and when collecting a second touch signal through the second edge touch sensor, whether an operation is detected or not may be determined based on the signal intensity of the first touch signal and the signal intensity of the second touch signal. And when the edge touch operation is determined to be detected, the mobile terminal is controlled, so that the operation efficiency of the mobile terminal is improved, and the occurrence of error touch operation is reduced.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a mobile terminal control method according to an exemplary embodiment, which is used in a mobile terminal, as shown in fig. 3, and includes the following steps.

In step 301, a first touch signal is collected by a first edge touch sensor, and a second touch signal is collected by a second edge touch sensor.

In step 302, it is determined whether an operation is detected based on the signal strength of the first touch signal and the signal strength of the second touch signal.

In step 303, when it is determined that the operation is detected, the mobile terminal is controlled based on the edge touch operation.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the mobile terminal may collect a first touch signal through the first edge touch sensor, collect a second touch signal through the second edge touch sensor, determine whether an edge touch operation is detected based on the signal intensity of the first touch signal and the signal intensity of the second touch signal, and determine that the edge touch operation is detected, so as to control the mobile terminal, thereby improving the operation efficiency of the mobile terminal and reducing the occurrence of false touch operation.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, determining whether an edge touch operation is detected based on the signal strength of the first touch signal and the signal strength of the second touch signal includes:

when the signal intensity of the first touch signal is smaller than the signal intensity threshold and the signal intensity of the second touch signal is larger than the signal intensity threshold, determining that the edge touch operation is not detected;

and determining that the edge touch operation is detected when the signal intensity of the first touch signal is greater than or equal to the signal intensity threshold and the signal intensity of the second touch signal is less than the signal intensity threshold.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, determining whether the edge touch operation is detected based on the signal strength of the first touch signal and the signal strength of the second touch signal includes:

comparing the signal intensity of the first touch signal with the signal intensity of the second touch signal;

when the signal intensity of the first touch signal is smaller than that of the second touch signal, determining that the edge touch operation is not detected;

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, acquiring a first touch signal by a first edge touch sensor includes:

and determining the selected touch signal as the first touch signal.

All the above optional technical solutions can be combined arbitrarily to form optional embodiments of the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not described in detail again.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a mobile terminal control method according to an exemplary embodiment, which includes the following steps, as shown in fig. 4.

In step 401, the mobile terminal collects a first touch signal through the first edge touch sensor and collects a second touch signal through the second edge touch sensor.

Since the area where one touch point is located may include a plurality of edge touch sensors, and the signal intensities of the touch signals collected by the edge touch sensors may also be different, the operation of the mobile terminal collecting the first touch signal through the first edge touch sensor may be: when the first edge touch sensor comprises a plurality of edge touch sensors, acquiring a plurality of touch signals through each edge touch sensor in the plurality of edge touch sensors; selecting a touch signal with the maximum signal intensity from the plurality of touch signals; and determining the selected touch signal as the first touch signal.

When the mobile terminal selects the touch signal with the maximum signal intensity from the plurality of touch signals, the mobile terminal may compare the signal intensities of the plurality of touch signals, so as to select the touch signal with the maximum signal intensity.

It should be noted that the mobile terminal may obtain the first touch signal through the foregoing method, and may also obtain the first touch signal through other methods, which is not specifically limited in this disclosure.

Similarly, the operation of the mobile terminal acquiring the second touch signal through the second edge touch sensor may be: when the second edge touch sensor comprises a plurality of edge touch sensors, acquiring the touch signal through each edge touch sensor in the plurality of edge touch sensors to obtain a plurality of touch signals; selecting a touch signal with the maximum signal intensity from the plurality of touch signals; and determining the selected touch signal as the second touch signal.

It should be noted that, the mobile terminal obtains the second touch signal through the foregoing method, and similarly, the second touch signal may also be obtained through other methods.

Further, in the mobile terminal shown in fig. 1, the erroneous touch region includes a region at the vertex position of the touch screen, and the erroneous touch operation is more likely to occur in the region at the vertex position of the touch screen than in other regions of the erroneous touch region. When the first edge touch sensor in the edge touch area is disposed at an area close to the vertex position, and when the first edge touch sensor of the edge touch area collects a touch signal, it may not be possible to distinguish whether the collected touch signal is generated by an edge touch operation applied to the edge touch area or is generated due to a mis-touch operation occurring in the area at the vertex position, and therefore, the second edge touch sensor may be disposed only in the area at the vertex position as shown in fig. 2(b), which is not specifically limited by the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In step 402, the mobile terminal determines whether an edge touch operation is detected based on the signal strength of the first touch signal and the signal strength of the second touch signal.

The mobile terminal determines whether the operation of the edge touch operation is detected based on the signal strength of the first touch signal and the signal strength of the second touch signal, which may include the following two ways.

In the first mode, the mobile terminal compares the signal intensity of the first touch signal and the signal intensity of the second touch signal with a signal intensity threshold respectively; when the signal intensity of the first touch signal is smaller than the signal intensity threshold and the signal intensity of the second touch signal is larger than the signal intensity threshold, determining that no edge touch operation is detected; and when the signal intensity of the first touch signal is greater than or equal to the signal intensity threshold and the signal intensity of the second touch signal is less than the signal intensity threshold, determining that the edge touch operation is detected.

It should be noted that the signal strength threshold is used to determine whether the signal strength of the touch signal acquired by the mobile terminal meets the requirement of triggering edge touch, and the signal strength threshold may be set in advance, for example, the signal strength threshold may be 4db, 5db, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the disclosure.

For example, when the signal strength threshold is 5db, the signal strength of the first touch signal is 4db, and the signal strength of the second touch signal is 7db, it is determined that the edge touch operation is not detected because the signal strength of the first touch signal is 4db smaller than the signal strength threshold 5db, and the signal strength of the second touch signal is 7db larger than the signal strength threshold 5 db. When the signal intensity threshold is 5db, the signal intensity of the first touch signal is 6db, and the signal intensity of the second touch signal is 4db, it is determined that the edge touch operation is detected because the signal intensity of the first touch signal, 6db, is greater than the signal intensity threshold, 5db, and the signal intensity of the second touch signal, 4db, is less than the signal intensity threshold, 5 db.

In addition, when the signal intensity of the first touch signal is greater than the signal intensity threshold and the signal intensity of the second touch signal is also greater than the signal intensity threshold, the mobile terminal may default to detect the edge touch operation, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Moreover, since the signal strength threshold is used to determine whether the signal strength of the touch signal acquired by the mobile terminal meets the requirement for triggering edge touch, when the signal strength of the first touch signal is smaller than the signal strength threshold and the signal strength of the second touch signal is also smaller than the signal strength threshold, the mobile terminal may not perform any control on the mobile terminal, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

It should be noted that, when the mobile terminal determines whether the edge touch operation is detected by the first method, since the mobile terminal compares the signal intensity of the first touch signal and the signal intensity of the second touch signal with the signal intensity threshold respectively, and the signal intensity threshold is used to determine whether the touch signal acquired by the mobile terminal meets the requirement for triggering the edge touch, when the signal intensity of the first touch signal and the signal intensity of the second touch signal do not meet the requirement for the signal intensity threshold, the mobile terminal may not perform any control on the mobile terminal, thereby reducing the operation burden of the mobile terminal. Meanwhile, when the signal intensity of the first touch signal is greater than or equal to the signal threshold intensity, the mobile terminal can be controlled, and therefore the accuracy of edge touch is improved.

In the second mode, the mobile terminal compares the signal intensity of the first touch signal with the signal intensity of the second touch signal; when the signal intensity of the first touch signal is smaller than that of the second touch signal, determining that no edge touch operation is detected; and when the signal intensity of the first touch signal is greater than or equal to the signal intensity of the second touch signal, determining that the edge touch operation is detected.

For example, when the signal strength of the first touch signal is 4db and the signal strength of the second touch signal is 7db, the signal strength of the first touch signal is compared with the signal strength of the second touch signal, and it is determined that the edge touch operation is not detected because the signal strength of the first touch signal is 4db less than the signal strength of the second touch signal is 7 db. And when the signal intensity of the first touch signal is 6db and the signal intensity of the second touch signal is 4db, comparing the signal intensity of the first touch signal with the signal intensity of the second touch signal, and determining that the edge touch operation is detected because the signal intensity of the first touch signal is 6db greater than the signal intensity of the second touch signal is 4 db.

When the signal strength of the first touch signal is equal to the signal strength of the second touch signal, the mobile terminal may default to not detect the edge touch operation, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In addition, if the signal intensity of the first touch signal is greater than the signal intensity of the second touch signal, and the difference between the signal intensity of the first touch signal and the signal intensity of the second touch signal is less than a predetermined difference, the terminal may also default to detect the edge touch operation, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

It should be noted that the specified difference may be set in advance, for example, the specified difference may be 0.01db, 0.02db, and the like, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the disclosure.

It should be noted that, when the mobile terminal determines whether the edge touch operation is detected in the second manner, the mobile terminal only needs to compare the signal strength of the first touch signal with the signal strength of the second touch signal, that is, the mobile terminal only needs to perform the comparison operation once to determine whether the edge touch operation is detected, so that the operation load of the mobile terminal is reduced, and the operation efficiency of the mobile terminal is improved.

It should be further noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the mobile terminal may determine whether the edge touch operation is detected through the two manners, and may also determine through other manners, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.

For example, the mobile terminal may calculate a signal strength ratio of the first touch signal to the second touch signal; when the signal intensity ratio is smaller than 1, determining that no edge touch operation is detected; and when the signal intensity ratio is greater than or equal to 1, determining that the edge touch operation is detected.

In step 403, when it is determined that the edge touch operation is detected, the mobile terminal controls the mobile terminal based on the edge touch operation.

When it is determined that the edge touch operation is detected, the mobile terminal may determine a position of a touch point of the edge touch operation, and control the mobile terminal based on a function corresponding to the position of the touch point.

It should be noted that, for the operation of determining the position of the touch point of the edge touch operation by the mobile terminal, reference may be made to related technologies, which is not described in detail in this disclosure.

Further, when the mobile terminal determines that the edge touch operation is detected, the mobile terminal may not perform any control.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the mobile terminal may determine whether an edge touch operation is detected by determining the first touch signal and the second touch signal and based on the signal strength of the first touch signal and the signal strength of the second touch signal. And when the mobile terminal respectively compares the signal intensity of the first touch signal with the signal intensity of the second touch signal through the signal intensity threshold and judges whether the edge touch operation is detected, because the signal intensity threshold is used for judging whether the touch signal acquired by the mobile terminal meets the requirement of triggering the edge touch, when the signal intensity of the first touch signal and the signal intensity of the second touch signal do not meet the requirement of the signal intensity threshold, the mobile terminal can not carry out any control on the mobile terminal, thereby reducing the operation burden of the mobile terminal. When the mobile terminal compares the signal intensity of the first touch signal with the signal intensity of the second touch signal, the mobile terminal only performs one comparison operation, so that the operation efficiency of the mobile terminal is improved, and the occurrence of false touch operation is reduced.

Fig. 5 is a resulting block diagram of a mobile terminal control apparatus shown in accordance with an example embodiment. Referring to fig. 5, the apparatus includes an acquisition module 501, a determination module 502 and a control module 503.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to fig. 6, the determining module 502 includes:

a first comparing unit 5021, configured to compare the signal strength of the first touch signal and the signal strength of the second touch signal with a signal strength threshold respectively;

a first determining unit 5022, configured to determine that the edge touch operation is not detected when the signal strength of the first touch signal is less than the signal strength threshold and the signal strength of the second touch signal is greater than the signal strength threshold;

the second determining unit 5023 is configured to determine that the edge touch operation is detected when the signal strength of the first touch signal is greater than or equal to the signal strength threshold and the signal strength of the second touch signal is less than the signal strength threshold.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to fig. 7, the determining module 502 includes:

a second comparing unit 5024, configured to compare the signal strength of the first touch signal with the signal strength of the second touch signal;

a third determining unit 5025, configured to determine that the edge touch operation is not detected when the signal strength of the first touch signal is less than the signal strength of the second touch signal;

a fourth determining unit 5026, configured to determine that the edge touch operation is detected when the signal strength of the first touch signal is greater than or equal to the signal strength of the second touch signal.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to fig. 8, the acquisition module 501 includes:

the acquisition unit 5011 is configured to acquire a plurality of touch signals through each of the edge touch sensors when the first edge touch sensor includes a plurality of edge touch sensors;

a selecting unit 5012, configured to select a touch signal with a largest signal intensity from the plurality of touch signals;

the fifth determining unit 5013 is configured to determine the selected touch signal as the first touch signal.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the mobile terminal may determine whether an edge touch operation is detected by determining the first touch signal and the second touch signal and based on the signal strength of the first touch signal and the signal strength of the second touch signal. And when the mobile terminal respectively compares the signal intensity of the first touch signal with the signal intensity of the second touch signal through the signal intensity threshold and judges whether the edge touch operation is detected, the signal intensity threshold is used for judging whether the touch signal acquired by the mobile terminal meets the requirement of triggering the edge touch. Therefore, when the signal intensity of the first touch signal and the signal intensity of the second touch signal do not meet the requirement of the signal intensity threshold, the mobile terminal can not perform any control on the mobile terminal, and therefore the operation burden of the mobile terminal is reduced. When the mobile terminal compares the signal intensity of the first touch signal with the signal intensity of the second touch signal, the mobile terminal only performs one comparison operation, so that the operation efficiency of the mobile terminal is improved, and the occurrence of false touch operation is reduced.
