Based on the above terminal hardware structure and communication network system, the present invention provides various embodiments of the method.

The interface operation method based on the flexible screen is applied to the terminal, is used for randomly adjusting the bending degree of the screen by pressing the terminal, and adaptively adjusting the size of the icon of the application program by combining with the operation of a user, so that the one-hand operation is realized, and the experience of the user is improved.

Example one

As shown in fig. 3, a first embodiment of the present invention provides an interface operation method based on a flexible screen, including the following steps:

s300, detecting the operation of the user on the left and right sides of the screen of the terminal 100, and recording the pressure values applied to the left and right sides of the screen in the operation process of the user.

Specifically, at least one sensor 105 is installed on each of both sides of the terminal 100 to sense a user's gripping or pressing operation while recording a pressure value applied to both sides of the terminal 100.

S302, bending the screen from the left and right sides of the terminal 100 according to pressure values applied to the left and right sides of the screen by the user' S operation.

Specifically, the left and right sides of the screen are curved with respect to the user direction to form a concavity. Generally, the flexible screen of the terminal 100 is initially in a flat state, when a user needs to click an edge position of the screen, the user presses the left and right sides of the screen of the terminal 100 hard on the basis of an original grip strength, and both sides of the terminal 100 deform in the process that the user presses the left and right sides of the screen of the terminal 100, so that the left and right edges of the terminal 100 tilt and the center is recessed to form a curved screen. The screen of the terminal 100 may be bent both sides to the user side or away from the user side. In this embodiment, the screen of the terminal 100 is preferably bent at both sides toward the user side (as shown in fig. 4 a). Further, in the present embodiment, the magnitude of the terminal 100 bending the screen increases correspondingly with the increase of the pressure value, and when the pressure value applied to the left and right sides of the screen by the user operation is zero, that is, the user stops continuously pressing the both sides of the screen, the terminal 100 stops continuously bending the screen and maintains the current bent shape of the screen.

Further, in order to prevent the user from mistakenly touching during the operation, the terminal 100 records the time of the user operating both sides of the screen of the terminal 100 before the step of bending the screen from both sides according to the pressure values applied to both sides of the screen by the user operation, and determines whether the time of the user operating both sides of the screen of the terminal 100 is greater than a preset time. When the time for the user to operate the two sides of the screen of the terminal 100 is longer than the preset time, the user regards the operation on the two sides of the screen of the terminal 100 as valid, and the terminal 100 records the pressure values applied to the two sides of the screen by the user operation; on the contrary, when the time for the user to operate the two sides of the screen of the terminal is not greater than the preset time, the user is considered to be mistakenly touched and is considered to be invalid. The preset time is set by a developer, the touch sensitivity is determined by the preset time, and the smaller the preset time is, the more sensitive the terminal 100 is to the touch of the user. Thus, the mistaken touch in the user operation process can be prevented. When the user's operation on both sides of the screen of the terminal 100 is invalidated this time, the terminal 100 continues to detect the user's operation on both sides of the screen of the terminal 100.

Of course, in this embodiment, it is not limited to determining whether the user operation is a false touch by operating (or pressing) the time threshold on both sides of the screen of the terminal 100 by the user, and it may also be detected by the sensor 105 whether the pressure value on both sides of the screen of the terminal 100 is greater than the preset threshold in the user operation process, so as to determine whether the user operation is a false touch, which is not described herein again.

S304, when the pressure values applied to the left and right sides of the screen by the user are zero, the operation of the user on the screen of the terminal 100 is detected.

Specifically, when the user stops pressing the two sides of the screen, the screen of the terminal 100 is not bent any more, and the terminal 100 detects the sliding operation of the screen by the user.

S306, determining the arm currently used by the user when the user operates the screen of the terminal 100.

Specifically, the terminal 100 can recognize whether the user currently operates the screen using the left hand or the right hand through the sensor 105. For example, the sensor 105 collects the sliding data of the user on the touch screen, and the radian of the sliding track of the left-hand operation and the right-hand operation is different, so that the terminal 100 can judge whether the current operation screen of the user is the left hand or the right hand according to the radian of the sliding track. Of course, the developer may also identify whether the current operation screen of the user is used by the left hand or the right hand by other ways, for example, by using an infrared sensor, which is not limited in this embodiment.

And S308, adjusting the size of the icon of the application program according to the preset rule according to the currently used arm of the user.

Specifically, the terminal 100 determines whether the arm currently used by the user is the left hand or the right hand, and accordingly adjusts the size of the application icon according to the left hand or the right hand. For example, when the user currently uses the left hand, the terminal 100 enlarges the icons of the applications on the right side of the screen so that the left hand can easily touch the icons of the applications on the right side of the screen. On the contrary, when the arm currently used by the user is the right hand, the terminal 100 enlarges the icon of the application program on the left side of the screen to facilitate the right hand to touch the icon of the application program on the left side of the screen. The specific size and form of the enlarged icon are set by the developer, but not limited in this embodiment. For example, the screen of the terminal 100 may be arranged with 4 columns of applications, and when the arm currently used by the user is the left hand, the terminal 100 arranges the icon sizes of the 4 columns of applications in a manner of 1: 2: 3: the scale of 4 is rearranged so that the icons of the applications further from the left hand are sequentially increased in size.

According to the interface operation method based on the flexible screen, when the terminal performs interface operation based on the flexible screen, the pressure applied to the terminal screen in the operation process of the user can be recorded, control operations such as bending and restoring of the screen can be realized according to the pressure value, and the size of the icon of the application program can be adaptively adjusted according to the operation of the user. The new interface operation mode can freely adjust the bending degree of the screen by pressing the terminal, and adaptively adjust the icon size of the application program by combining with the user operation, so that the single-hand operation can be realized by the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention on the premise that the current terminal tends to be large-screen, especially a handheld terminal, and the user experience is increased.

Example two

As shown in fig. 5, a second embodiment of the present invention provides an interface operation method based on a flexible screen. In the second embodiment, the steps S500 to S508 of the flexible screen based interface operation method are different from the steps S300 to S308 of the first embodiment in the operation of bending the left and right sides of the terminal screen in the first embodiment, and the method includes the steps S506 to S508 of bending the upper and lower sides of the terminal screen and the steps S500 to S504 of the screen terminal screen restoration operation.

The method comprises the following steps:

step S500, determining that the screen of the terminal 100 is in a flat state or a bent state. When the screen of the terminal 100 is in the curved state, step S502 and step S504 are performed, and when the screen of the terminal 100 is in the flat state, step S506 and step S508 are performed.

Generally, the flexible screen of the terminal 100 is in a flat state and is bent only when pressed by a user, and the sensor 105 can sense the current state of the terminal 100.

Step S502, receiving a pressing operation of the user on a first preset position of the terminal 100.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 4b, the dashed circle is a first preset position of the terminal 100, and preferably, in this embodiment, the first preset position is set at a center position of a back surface of the terminal 100, so that the first preset position is relatively easy to be accessed no matter the user is in left-hand operation or in right-hand operation, and of course, the developer may set the first preset position at other positions of the terminal 100 according to preference, which is not limited by the present invention.

S504, restoring the screen from the bending state to the straight state according to the pressing operation.

When the terminal 100 senses that the user presses the first preset position, restoring the screen from the bent state according to the pressure value received in the pressing process of the user, wherein when the screen is restored from the bent state to the flat state, and when the pressing operation stops, the screen state stays in the state when the pressing operation stops. Namely, when the pressure value applied to the first preset position of the screen by the user operation is zero, the screen stops restoring. The restoring process of the present embodiment is also applicable to the restoring operation when the upper and lower sides of the screen are bent, fig. 4c is a diagram of the restoring operation when the upper and lower sides of the screen are bent, and a dotted circle is a first preset position of the terminal 100 and is the same position as fig. 4 b. The specific steps of the screen bending up and down will be described in detail in steps S506-S508.

Step S506, receiving a pressing operation of the user on the second preset position of the terminal 100, and recording a pressure value applied to the second preset position of the terminal by the user operation.

Further, when the screen of the terminal 100 is in a flat state, unlike the case where the terminal 100 receives the pressure values of the user to the left and right sides of the screen to trigger the screen to bend from the left and right sides in the first embodiment, the terminal 100 may also trigger the screen to bend from the upper and lower sides in the second preset position by the operation of the user. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4d, the dashed circle is a second preset position of the terminal 100, and preferably, in this embodiment, the second preset position is set at a front center position of the terminal 100, so that the second preset position is relatively easy to be accessed no matter the user is in left-hand operation or in right-hand operation, of course, the developer may set the first preset position at other positions of the terminal 100 according to preference, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

Step S508, bending the screen from the upper and lower sides of the terminal 100 according to a pressure value applied to a second preset position of the terminal 100 by a user operation.

Specifically, when the user presses the second preset position, the upper and lower edges of the terminal 100 are tilted, and the center is concave, so as to form a curved screen. The screen of the terminal 100 may be curved up and down to the user side or away from the user side. In this embodiment, the screen of the terminal 100 is preferably curved toward the user side from the upper side and the lower side (as shown in fig. 4 d), i.e., the upper side and the lower side of the screen are curved to be concave relative to the user direction. Further, in the present embodiment, the magnitude of the screen bending of the terminal 100 is increased correspondingly with the increase of the pressure value, and when the pressure value applied to the second preset position of the screen of the terminal 100 by the user operation is zero, that is, the user stops continuously pressing the second preset position of the terminal 100, the terminal 100 stops continuously bending the screen and maintains the current bent shape of the screen.

Further, in order to prevent the user from mistakenly touching the terminal during the operation process, before the step of bending the screen from the upper and lower sides of the terminal according to the pressure values applied to the second preset position of the terminal by the user operation, the terminal 100 further records the time of the user operating the second preset position of the terminal 100, and judges whether the time of the user operating the second preset position of the terminal 100 is greater than the preset time. When the time for the user to operate the second preset position of the terminal 100 is longer than the preset time, the user regards the operation on the second preset position of the terminal 100 as valid, and the terminal 100 records the pressure value applied to the second preset position by the user operation; on the contrary, when the time for the user to operate the second preset position of the terminal 100 is not longer than the preset time, the user is considered to be mistakenly touched and is considered to be invalid when operating the second preset position of the terminal 100 this time. The preset time is set by a developer, the touch sensitivity is determined by the preset time, and the smaller the preset time is, the more sensitive the terminal 100 is to the touch of the user. Thus, the mistaken touch in the user operation process can be prevented. When the user's operation on the second preset position of the terminal 100 is invalid this time, the terminal 100 continues to detect the user's operation on the second preset position of the terminal 100.

Of course, in this embodiment, it is not limited to determining whether the user operation is a false touch by operating (or pressing) the time threshold of the second preset position of the terminal 100 by the user, and it may also be detected by the sensor 105 whether the pressure value applied to the second preset position of the terminal 100 in the user operation process is greater than the preset threshold, so as to determine whether the user operation is a false touch, which is not described herein again.

According to the interface operation method based on the flexible screen, when the terminal performs interface operation based on the flexible screen, the pressure applied to the terminal screen in the operation process of the user can be recorded, and control operations such as bending and restoring of the screen can be realized according to the pressure value. The new interface operation mode can adjust the bending degree of the screen at will by pressing the terminal. Therefore, the user can bend and restore the flexible screen according to the preference of the user, and the user experience is improved.

EXAMPLE III

As shown in fig. 6, a third embodiment of the present invention provides an interface operation method based on a flexible screen. In the third embodiment, steps S600 to S610 of the method for operating the flexible screen-based interface are similar to steps S500 to S510 of the second embodiment, except that the method further includes step S612.

The method comprises the following steps:

step S600, determining that the screen of the terminal 100 is in a flat state or a bent state. When the screen of the terminal 100 is in the curved state, step S602 and step S604 are performed, and when the screen of the terminal 100 is in the flat state, step S606 and step S608 are performed.

Step S602, receiving a pressing operation of the user on a first preset position of the terminal 100.

And step S604, restoring the screen from the bending state to the straight state according to the pressing operation.

Step S606, receiving a pressing operation of the user on the second preset position of the terminal 100, and recording a pressure value applied to the second preset position of the terminal 100 by the user operation.

Step S608, bending the screen from the upper and lower sides of the terminal 100 according to a pressure value applied to a second preset position of the terminal 100 by a user operation.

Step S610, increasing an icon of an application on the upper side of the screen of the terminal 100.

The specific size and form of the enlarged icon are set by the developer, but not limited in this embodiment. For example, the screen of the terminal 100 may arrange 5 lines of applications, and the terminal 100 displays icons of the 5 lines of applications in a 5: 4: 3: 2: the scale of 1 is rearranged such that the sizes of the icons of the applications are sequentially decreased from top to bottom, so that the user can easily touch the icons of the applications on the upper side of the screen farther from the finger.

The invention further provides a terminal which comprises a memory, a processor, an audio device and an interface operating system based on the flexible screen. The flexible screen-based interface operating system is used for randomly adjusting the bending degree of a screen through pressing of a user on a terminal, and adaptively adjusting the size of an icon of an application program in combination with user operation, so that one-hand operation is realized, and the user experience is improved.

Example four

As shown in fig. 7, a fifth embodiment of the present invention provides a terminal 100. The terminal 100 includes a memory 109, a processor 110, a flexible screen based interface operating system 70, and at least one sensor 105.

In this embodiment, the flexible screen-based interface operating system 70 includes:

the detecting module 700 is configured to detect operations of a user on left and right sides of a screen of the terminal 100, and record pressure values applied to the left and right sides of the screen during the user operations.

And a trigger execution module 702 for bending the screen from the left and right sides of the terminal 100 according to pressure values applied to the left and right sides of the screen by user operations.

Specifically, the left and right sides of the screen are curved with respect to the user direction to form a concavity. Generally, the flexible screen of the terminal 100 is initially in a flat state, when a user needs to click an edge position of the screen, the user presses the left and right sides of the screen of the terminal 100 hard on the basis of an original grip strength, and both sides of the terminal 100 deform in the process that the user presses the left and right sides of the screen of the terminal 100, so that the left and right edges of the terminal 100 tilt and the center is recessed to form a curved screen. The screen of the terminal 100 may be bent both sides to the user side or away from the user side. In this embodiment, the screen of the terminal 100 is preferably bent at both sides toward the user side (as shown in fig. 4 a). Further, in the present embodiment, the amplitude of the terminal 100 bending the screen increases correspondingly with the increase of the pressure value, and when the pressure value applied to the left and right sides of the screen by the user operation is zero, that is, the user stops continuously pressing the two sides of the screen, the trigger execution module 702 stops continuously bending the screen and maintains the current bent shape of the screen.

Further, in order to prevent the user from mistakenly touching during the operation process, before the step of bending the screen from the left and right sides by the trigger execution module 702 according to the pressure values applied to the left and right sides of the screen by the user operation, the detection module 700 further records the time of the user operating the two sides of the screen of the terminal 100, and determines whether the time of the user operating the left and right sides of the screen of the terminal 100 is greater than the preset time. When the time for the user to operate the two sides of the screen of the terminal 100 is longer than the preset time, the user regards the operation on the two sides of the screen of the terminal 100 as valid, and the detection module 600 records the pressure values applied to the two sides of the screen by the user operation; on the contrary, when the time for the user to operate the two sides of the screen of the terminal is not greater than the preset time, the user is considered to be mistakenly touched and is considered to be invalid. The preset time is set by a developer, the touch sensitivity is determined by the preset time, and the smaller the preset time is, the more sensitive the terminal 100 is to the touch of the user. Thus, the mistaken touch in the user operation process can be prevented. When the user invalidates the operations on the two sides of the screen of the terminal 100, the detecting module 700 continues to detect the operations on the left and right sides of the screen of the terminal 100. Of course, in this embodiment, it is not limited to determining whether the user operation is a false touch by operating (or pressing) the time threshold on both sides of the screen of the terminal 100 by the user, and it may also be detected by the sensor 105 whether the pressure value on both sides of the screen of the terminal 100 is greater than the preset threshold in the user operation process, so as to determine whether the user operation is a false touch, which is not described herein again.

The detecting module 700 is further configured to detect an operation of the user on the screen of the terminal 100 when the pressure values applied to the left and right sides of the screen by the user are zero.

Specifically, when the user stops pressing the two sides of the screen, the trigger execution module 702 does not trigger the screen of the terminal 100 to bend continuously, and the detection module 700 detects the sliding operation of the screen by the user.

A determining module 704, configured to determine an arm currently used by the user when the user operates the screen of the terminal 100.

Specifically, the terminal 100 can recognize whether the user currently operates the screen using the left hand or the right hand through the sensor 105. For example, the sensor 105 collects the sliding data of the user on the touch screen, and the radian of the sliding track of the left-hand operation and the right-hand operation is different, so the determining module 704 can determine whether the current operation screen of the user uses the left hand or the right hand according to the radian of the sliding track. Of course, the developer may also identify whether the current operation screen of the user is used by the left hand or the right hand by other ways, for example, by using an infrared sensor, which is not limited in this embodiment.

And the icon adjusting module 706 is configured to adjust the size of the icon of the application program according to a preset rule according to the currently used arm of the user.

Specifically, when the determining module 704 determines whether the currently used arm of the user is left-handed or right-handed, the icon adjusting module 706 adjusts the size of the application icon according to the left-handed or right-handed status. For example, when the user's currently used arm is the left hand, the icon adjustment module 706 enlarges the icons of the applications on the right side of the screen so that the left hand can easily reach the icons of the applications on the right side of the screen. Conversely, when the user currently uses the right hand, the icon adjustment module 706 enlarges the icons of the applications on the left side of the screen to facilitate the right hand touching the icons of the applications on the left side of the screen. The specific size and form of the enlarged icon are set by the developer, but not limited in this embodiment. For example, the screen of the terminal 100 may be arranged with 4 columns of applications, and the icon adjusting module 706 may adjust the icon sizes of the 4 columns of applications to 1: 2: 3: the scale of 4 is rearranged so that the icons of the applications further from the left hand are sequentially increased in size.

Further, in this embodiment, the terminal 100 can be bent from both sides of the screen, and the screen can be restored. The specific implementation mode is as follows:

in this embodiment, the determining module 704 is further configured to determine that the screen of the terminal 100 is in a flat state or a curved state.

When the screen of the terminal 100 is in a bent state, the detecting module 700 is further configured to receive a pressing operation of a user on a first preset position of the terminal 100.

When the detecting module 700 receives a pressing operation of a user on a first preset position of the terminal 100, the triggering executing module 702 is further configured to restore the screen from a bent state to a flat state according to the pressing operation.

When the detecting module 700 senses that the user presses the first preset position, the triggering executing module 702 restores the screen from the bent state according to the pressure value received in the pressing process of the user, wherein when the screen is restored from the bent state to the flat state, and the pressing operation is stopped, the screen state is stopped at the state when the pressing operation is stopped. Namely, when the pressure value applied to the first preset position of the screen by the user operation is zero, the screen stops restoring. The restoring process of the present embodiment is also applicable to the restoring operation when the upper and lower sides of the screen are bent, fig. 4c is a diagram of the restoring operation when the upper and lower sides of the screen are bent, and a dotted circle is a first preset position of the terminal 100 and is the same as the dotted circle in fig. 4 b. The specific steps of the bending of the upper and lower sides of the screen will be described in detail below.

When the screen of the terminal 100 is in a flat state, the detecting module 700 is further configured to receive a pressing operation of the user on a second preset position of the terminal 100, and record a pressure value applied to the second preset position of the terminal 100 by the user operation.

Specifically, when the screen of the terminal 100 is in a flat state, the trigger execution module 702 may trigger the screen to be bent from the upper and lower sides by the operation of the user at the second preset position, unlike the case where the trigger execution module 702 receives the pressure values of the left and right sides of the screen by the user to trigger the screen to be bent from the left and right sides. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4d, the dashed circle is a second preset position of the terminal 100, and preferably, in this embodiment, the second preset position is set at a front center position of the terminal 100, so that the second preset position is relatively easy to be accessed no matter the user is in left-hand operation or in right-hand operation, of course, the developer may set the first preset position at other positions of the terminal 100 according to preference, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The trigger execution module 602 is further configured to bend the screen from the upper side and the lower side of the terminal according to the pressure values applied to the second preset position of the terminal 100 by the user operation detected by the detection module 700.

Specifically, when the user presses the second preset position, the trigger execution module 602 triggers the upper and lower edges of the terminal 100 to tilt up, and the center of the terminal is recessed inward, so as to form a curved screen. The screen of the terminal 100 may be curved up and down to the user side or away from the user side. In this embodiment, the screen of the terminal 100 is preferably curved toward the user side from the upper side and the lower side (as shown in fig. 4 d), i.e., the upper side and the lower side of the screen are curved to be concave relative to the user direction. Further, in the present embodiment, the bending amplitude of the screen of the terminal 100 triggered by the trigger execution module 702 is correspondingly increased along with the increase of the pressure value, and when the pressure value applied to the second preset position of the screen of the terminal 100 by the user operation is zero, that is, the user stops continuously pressing the second preset position of the terminal 100, the trigger execution module 702 stops triggering the screen of the terminal 100 to bend and maintains the current bent shape of the screen.

Further, in order to prevent the user from mistakenly touching during the operation process, before the step of bending the screen from the upper and lower sides of the terminal according to the pressure values applied to the second preset position of the terminal by the user operation by the trigger execution module 702, the detection module 700 further records the time of the user operating the second preset position of the terminal 100, and determines whether the time of the user operating the second preset position of the terminal 100 is greater than the preset time. When the time for the user to operate the second preset position of the terminal 100 is longer than the preset time, the user regards the operation of the second preset position of the terminal 100 as valid, and the detection module 700 records the pressure value applied to the second preset position by the user operation; on the contrary, when the time for the user to operate the second preset position of the terminal 100 is not longer than the preset time, the user is considered to be mistakenly touched and is considered to be invalid when operating the second preset position of the terminal 100 this time. The preset time is set by a developer, the touch sensitivity is determined by the preset time, and the smaller the preset time is, the more sensitive the terminal 100 is to the touch of the user. Thus, the mistaken touch in the user operation process can be prevented. When the user is invalid to operate the second preset position of the terminal 100 this time, the detecting module 700 continues to detect the user's operation on the second preset position of the terminal 100.

Further, the icon adjusting module 706 is further configured to increase the icons of the applications on the upper side of the screen of the terminal 100.

The specific size and form of the enlarged icon are set by the developer, but not limited in this embodiment. For example, the screen of the terminal 100 may arrange 5 lines of applications, and the icon adjusting module 706 adjusts the icon sizes of the 5 lines of applications from top to bottom by 5: 4: 3: 2: the scale of 1 is rearranged such that the sizes of the icons of the applications are sequentially decreased from top to bottom, so that the user can easily touch the icons of the applications on the upper side of the screen farther from the finger.

According to the interface operation system based on the flexible screen, when the terminal performs interface operation based on the flexible screen, control operations such as bending and restoring of the screen can be achieved through pressure applied to the terminal screen in the user operation process, and the size of the icon of the application program is adaptively adjusted according to the user operation. The new interface operation mode can freely adjust the bending degree of the screen by pressing the terminal, and adaptively adjust the icon size of the application program by combining with the user operation, so that the single-hand operation can be realized by the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention on the premise that the current terminal tends to be large-screen, especially a handheld terminal, and the user experience is increased.
