Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides an operation control method, applied to a terminal device, including:

step 101: receiving a first touch input of a first finger of a user on a display screen of the terminal equipment.

The touch input of the first finger of the user on the display screen of the terminal device may be a sliding input, a pressing input, or a combination of multiple input modes. The embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first fingerprint of the first finger may include T fingerprint partitions, where T is a positive integer. The fingerprint partition of the first fingerprint is formed by contacting the first finger of the user with a display screen (also referred to as a screen, a touch screen, or the like) of the terminal device, and the fingerprint partition is a part or all of a complete fingerprint (i.e., the first fingerprint) formed by the first finger of the user.

For example, a complete fingerprint formed by the first finger of the user can be seen from fig. 2, where T may be 5, and the first fingerprint of the first finger may be divided into 5 fingerprint partitions, which are:

a left fingerprint section formed by the left side of the user's finger in contact with the screen, as shown in fig. 2;

a right fingerprint section formed by the right side of the user's finger in contact with the screen, as shown in fig. 2;

an upper fingerprint section formed by the upper side of the user's finger contacting the screen, as shown in fig. 2;

a lower fingerprint section formed by the contact of the underside of the user's finger with the screen, see FIG. 2;

the central fingerprint section formed by the contact of the central portion of the user's finger (which can be understood as the finger pad) with the screen is shown in fig. 2.

Optionally, the touch input of the first finger of the user on the screen may include a pressing input and/or a sliding input of a first area of the first finger of the user on the screen, where the first area is a partial or entire fingerprint area of the first fingerprint of the first finger. It can be understood that, when the touch input is a sliding input, the first finger will always keep in contact with the screen during the touch input. According to the touch input of the first area of the first finger of the user on the screen, the fingerprint partition of the first finger formed on the screen, wherein the first area of the first finger is in contact with the screen, can be determined. For example:

when the first area is a left fingerprint area of the first fingerprint of the first finger, the fingerprint partition formed on the screen is a left fingerprint partition, which is shown in fig. 2, fig. 3 or fig. 5;

when the first area is a right fingerprint area of the first fingerprint of the first finger, the fingerprint partition formed on the screen is a right fingerprint partition, as shown in fig. 2, fig. 3 or fig. 5;

when the first area is an upper side fingerprint area of the first fingerprint of the first finger, the fingerprint partition formed on the screen is an upper fingerprint partition, as shown in fig. 2 or fig. 4;

when the first area is a lower side fingerprint area of the first fingerprint of the first finger, the fingerprint partition formed on the screen is a lower fingerprint partition, as shown in fig. 2 or fig. 4;

when the first area is a central fingerprint area of the first fingerprint of the first finger, the fingerprint partition formed on the screen is a central fingerprint partition, as shown in fig. 2 or fig. 6;

when the first area is the entire fingerprint area of the first fingerprint of the first finger, the fingerprint partition formed on the screen is a complete fingerprint partition, as shown in fig. 2.

Optionally, in the process of performing press input on the screen by using the first area of the first finger, the touch input may further include rotation input in which the user rotates the first finger, and in the process of the rotation input, the fingerprint information of the first area changes, and correspondingly, the fingerprint partition formed by the contact of the first finger and the screen also changes correspondingly.

For example, when the first finger rotates from left pressing to right pressing to positive pressing during the pressing input of the first area of the first finger on the screen, the fingerprint information of the first area changes from a left fingerprint area to a full fingerprint area, and a fingerprint partition formed by the contact of the first finger with the screen also changes from the left fingerprint partition to the full fingerprint partition. On the contrary, when the first area of the first finger is pressed on the screen and input, the first finger rotates from the front pressing direction to the left pressing direction, the fingerprint information of the first area is changed from the whole fingerprint area to the left fingerprint area, and the fingerprint partition formed by the contact of the first finger and the screen is also changed from the whole fingerprint partition to the left fingerprint partition.

For another example, when the first finger rotates from right to left pressing to forward pressing during the pressing input of the first area of the first finger on the screen, the fingerprint information of the first area changes from the right fingerprint area to the full fingerprint area, and the fingerprint partition formed by the contact of the first finger with the screen also changes from the right fingerprint partition to the full fingerprint partition. On the contrary, when the first area of the first finger is pressed on the screen and the first finger is rotated to the right side from the front pressing in the process of pressing input, the fingerprint information of the first area is changed from the whole fingerprint area to the right fingerprint area, and the fingerprint partition formed by the contact of the first finger and the screen is also changed from the whole fingerprint partition to the right fingerprint partition.

For another example, when the first finger rotates from the upper side to the lower side to the forward direction from the upper side to the lower side in the process of pressing the first area of the first finger on the screen for inputting, the fingerprint information of the first area changes from the upper fingerprint area to the whole fingerprint area, and the fingerprint partition formed by the contact of the first finger with the screen also changes from the upper fingerprint partition to the complete fingerprint partition. On the contrary, when the first area of the first finger is pressed on the screen and the first finger rotates to the upper side from the front pressing to the upper side for pressing, the fingerprint information of the first area is changed from all fingerprint areas to the upper fingerprint area, and the fingerprint partition formed by the contact of the first finger and the screen is also changed from the complete fingerprint partition to the upper fingerprint partition.

For another example, when the first finger rotates from the lower side to the upper side to the forward side in the process of pressing the first area of the first finger on the screen, the fingerprint information of the first area changes from the lower fingerprint area to the whole fingerprint area, and the fingerprint partition formed by the contact of the first finger with the screen also changes from the lower fingerprint partition to the whole fingerprint partition. On the contrary, when the first area of the first finger is pressed on the screen and input, the first finger rotates from the front pressing to the lower side to be pressed, the fingerprint information of the first area is changed from all fingerprint areas to lower fingerprint areas, and the fingerprint subarea formed by the contact of the first finger and the screen is also changed from the complete fingerprint subarea to the lower fingerprint subarea.

For example, when the forward pressing force of the first finger is changed from small to large in the process of performing pressing input on the first area of the first finger on the screen, the fingerprint information of the first area is changed from the central fingerprint area to the whole fingerprint area, and then the fingerprint partition formed by the contact of the first finger with the screen is also changed from the central fingerprint partition to the whole fingerprint partition. On the contrary, when the front pressing force of the first finger is reduced greatly in the process of pressing and inputting the first area of the first finger on the screen, the fingerprint information of the first area is changed from all fingerprint areas to the central fingerprint area, and the fingerprint subarea formed by the contact of the first finger and the screen is also changed from the complete fingerprint subarea to the central fingerprint subarea.

It can be understood that the terminal may recognize different fingerprint information and touch characteristics corresponding to different first touch inputs. Wherein, the fingerprint information may refer to at least one of T fingerprint partitions formed by the first fingerprint; the touch characteristics may include fingerprint partition change information, for example, at least one of an area change of a fingerprint partition and a switch of the fingerprint partition, and the touch characteristics may also include at least one of a sliding direction, a sliding speed, a sliding distance, a sliding track, and the like of the first finger on the screen. The terminal may determine different response modes for the first touch input based on the identified different fingerprint information and touch characteristics.

One optional way of the first touch input is that the first touch input includes a first sliding input of a first direction of a first fingerprint partition of a first finger of the user on the display screen of the terminal device and a second sliding input of a second direction of a second fingerprint partition of the first finger on the display screen of the terminal device. Wherein, first fingerprint subregion and second fingerprint subregion all contain in T fingerprint subregion that first fingerprint of first finger contains.

In a specific implementation, the first touch input may have various forms. The first fingerprint partition and the second fingerprint partition in the first touch input can be the same or different; the first direction of the first sliding input and the second direction of the second sliding input may be the same or different.

For example, referring to fig. 3, the first fingerprint partition is embodied as a left fingerprint partition, the first direction is embodied as a left swipe, the second fingerprint partition is embodied as a right fingerprint partition, and the second direction is embodied as a right swipe. Therefore, the first touch input comprises that the user firstly uses the left fingerprint subarea of the first finger to perform first sliding input leftwards on the display screen of the terminal equipment, and then uses the right fingerprint subarea of the first finger to perform second sliding input rightwards on the display screen of the terminal equipment.

For another example, referring to fig. 4, the first fingerprint partition is embodied as an upper fingerprint partition, the first direction is embodied as an upward swipe, the second fingerprint partition is embodied as a lower fingerprint partition, and the second direction is embodied as a downward swipe. Therefore, the first touch input comprises that the user firstly uses the upper fingerprint subarea of the first finger to perform first sliding input upwards on the display screen of the terminal equipment, and then uses the lower fingerprint subarea of the first finger to perform second sliding input downwards on the display screen of the terminal equipment.

For another example, referring to fig. 5, the first fingerprint partition is embodied as a left fingerprint partition, the first direction is embodied as a counterclockwise sliding, the second fingerprint partition is embodied as a right fingerprint partition, and the second direction is embodied as a clockwise sliding. Therefore, the first touch input includes that the user firstly uses the left fingerprint partition of the first finger to perform first sliding input in the anticlockwise direction on the display screen of the terminal equipment, and then uses the right fingerprint partition of the first finger to perform second sliding input in the clockwise direction on the display screen of the terminal equipment.

Also for example, referring to fig. 6, the first fingerprint partition is embodied as a center fingerprint partition, the first direction is embodied as a swipe up, the second fingerprint partition is embodied as a center fingerprint partition, and the second direction is embodied as a swipe right. Therefore, the first touch input comprises that the user firstly uses the center fingerprint subarea of the first finger to perform first sliding input upwards on the display screen of the terminal equipment, and then uses the center fingerprint subarea of the first finger to perform second sliding input rightwards on the display screen of the terminal equipment.

Step 103: and responding to the first touch input, and displaying N control subareas in the target area.

After receiving and recognizing the first touch input, the terminal device may execute step 103, and display N control sub-areas (N is an integer greater than 1) in the target area. It can be understood that the target area may be set by default in the terminal, may also be configured by a user in advance in the terminal, and may also be determined according to an operation and/or an area corresponding to the first touch input, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Alternatively, if the main purpose of the display control sub-region is to facilitate one-handed operation of the large-screen terminal by the user, the target region is preferably set to the middle-lower region of the screen. If the left-right hand usage habits of the user are further considered, the target area may be further set in a lower-left area (suitable for left-handed users) or a lower-right area (suitable for right-handed users).

Optionally, if the main purpose of displaying the control sub-region is to facilitate a user to perform a multi-touch operation on the large-screen terminal, the target region is preferably set according to a use habit of the user or is manually preset by the user, so as to better meet a user requirement.

It should be noted that the display area of the display screen of the terminal device may also correspondingly include N sub-display areas, and each of the N control sub-areas is associated with one of the N sub-display areas. Taking the display screens shown in fig. 3 to 6, and fig. 11, 12, and 13 as examples, N is taken as 4, and the display area of the screen is divided into 4 sub-display areas by dotted lines, which are an upper left sub-display area, an upper right sub-display area, a lower left sub-display area, and a lower right sub-display area, respectively. The target area 120 has 4 control sub-areas displayed therein, and each control sub-area corresponds to a virtual identifier (also referred to as a virtual button), and each virtual identifier also corresponds to a number. It will be appreciated that each of the 4 control sub-regions is associated with one of the 4 sub-display regions, in particular:

the control sub-area corresponding to the virtual identifier No. 1 is associated with the upper left sub-display area;

the control sub-area corresponding to the virtual identifier No. 2 is associated with the upper right sub-display area;

the control sub-area corresponding to the virtual identifier No. 3 is associated with the lower left sub-display area;

and the control sub-area corresponding to the virtual identifier No. 4 is associated with the lower right sub-display area.

Step 105: and receiving a second touch input of the user in the target control subarea.

Step 107: and responding to the second touch input, and executing target control operation corresponding to the second touch input on the target object in the target sub display area associated with the target control sub area.

It can be understood that the target control sub-area is one or more of the N control sub-areas, the target sub-display area associated with the target control sub-area is one or more of the N sub-display areas, and the target object is one or more touch objects in the target sub-display area. By means of the operation control method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the user can control the terminal device to execute the target control operation corresponding to the second touch input on the target object in the target sub display area associated with the target control sub area through the second touch input in the target control sub area.

The second touch input by the user in the target control sub-area may be one or more of a plurality of operation modes, such as a sliding operation, a clicking operation, a pressing operation, and a rotating operation. Different second touch inputs can also correspond to different fingerprint information and touch characteristics, and the recognition result of the terminal on the second touch input also corresponds to different response modes corresponding to the second touch input.

Optionally, after the terminal device performs step 105, receives a second touch input of the user in the target control sub-area, the target indication identifier may be displayed in a target sub-display area associated with the target control sub-area; and further based on the second touch input, controlling the target indication mark to move in the target sub-display area. Taking fig. 11 as an example, the user controls the movement of the virtual identifier No. 2 in the control sub-area No. 2 (i.e. the target control sub-area), and correspondingly, in the upper right sub-display area (i.e. the target sub-display area) associated with the control sub-area No. 2, the target indication identifier 110 also moves along with the movement of the user in the control sub-area No. 2.

Specifically, in order to control the target indication identifier to move in the target sub-display area based on the second touch input, the terminal device receives the second touch input of the user in the target control sub-area, which may specifically be to receive the second touch input of a second finger of the user in the target control sub-area. The second finger of the user for performing the second touch input may be the same as or different from the first finger for performing the first touch input.

An alternative way of the second touch input is that the second touch input includes a press input of a first area of a second finger of the user on the display screen of the terminal device, and the first area is a partial or full fingerprint partition of the second fingerprint of the second finger. In addition, in the process of performing a pressing input on the display screen of the terminal device by using the first area of the second finger, the second touch input may further include a rotation input that a user rotates the second finger, and in the process of rotating the second finger, the area characteristic information (i.e., the touch characteristic) of the first area changes. The region feature information may specifically include an area feature or a fingerprint feature. Specifically, the area characteristic may be an area of a fingerprint partition, the fingerprint characteristic may be a type of the fingerprint partition and/or a switching of the fingerprint partition, and the like.

Further, when the target indication identifier is controlled to move in the target sub-display area based on the second touch input, the method may specifically include:

first, area characteristic change information corresponding to a second touch input is acquired. Specifically, the area characteristic change information may include area change information or fingerprint change information, the area change information may be an increase or decrease in the area of the fingerprint partition, and the fingerprint change information may be a switch from one fingerprint partition to another fingerprint partition.

Secondly, the moving direction of the target indication mark is determined based on the regional characteristic change information. For example, the left fingerprint partition moves to the right when increasing in area, and moves to the left when decreasing in area. For another example, the right fingerprint section moves to the left when the area increases, and moves to the right when the area decreases. As another example, the left fingerprint partition may be moved to the right when switching to the full fingerprint partition, and the right fingerprint partition may be moved to the left when switching to the full fingerprint partition.

And finally, controlling the target indication mark to move in the target sub-display area according to the moving direction.

The following exemplifies a process of controlling the movement of the target indicator according to the second touch input (specifically, the press input and the rotation input) input by the user. Referring to fig. 11, the user uses the thumb as the second finger to input the second touch input in the No. 2 control sub-area. The second touch input by the user comprises a press input of a left fingerprint partition of the thumb of the right hand of the user (in this example, the first area is specifically a left area, and the left fingerprint partition is formed on the screen) in the control sub-area No. 2. Furthermore, in the pressing input process, the user can rotate the thumb of the right hand to change the regional characteristic information of the left fingerprint partition, so that the terminal device can determine the moving direction of the target indication mark according to the change condition of the regional characteristic information, and further control the target indication mark to move in the target sub-display area according to the moving direction.

For example, if the user turns the thumb of the right hand to the right, the area of the left fingerprint partition will gradually increase, and the area characteristic change information corresponding to the second touch input is that the area of the fingerprint partition increases, the moving direction of the target indication mark may be determined to be a direction that tends to coincide with the finger turning direction, so that the user can more intuitively control the target indication mark to move within the target sub-display area by using the touch input in the target control sub-area.

Yet another alternative of the second touch input is that the second touch input comprises a press input of a first area of a second finger of the user on the display screen of the terminal device, the first area being a partial or full fingerprint partition of a second fingerprint of the second finger. And after the first area of the second finger performs press input on the display screen of the terminal device, the second touch input further comprises a slide input of sliding the second finger by the user. The slide input corresponds to slide parameters such as slide speed, slide direction, slide distance, etc.

first, a sliding parameter corresponding to a second touch input is obtained, wherein the sliding parameter includes at least one of a sliding speed, a sliding direction and a sliding distance.

Secondly, based on the sliding parameter, the moving direction of the target indication mark is determined. For example, if the sliding direction of the second touch input is leftward sliding, the moving direction of the target indication mark is determined to be leftward moving. For another example, if the sliding direction of the second touch input is an upward sliding, the moving direction of the target indication mark is determined to be an upward movement.

By adopting the mode, the target indication mark is controlled to move in the target sub-display area, so that the user can more intuitively control the target indication mark to move in the target sub-display area by utilizing the touch input in the target control sub-area.

When the target object in the target sub-display area associated with the target control sub-area is subjected to the target control operation corresponding to the second touch input on the basis that the touch input control target indication mark in the target control sub-area moves in the target sub-display area, the target object located at the current display position of the target indication mark may be acquired first, and then the target control operation corresponding to the second touch input may be performed on the target object. It should be noted that, when a second touch input by the user is received, the target indication identifier 110 is controlled to move according to the second touch input, and then the target object located at the current display position of the target indication identifier may be determined.

Optionally, after the target indication identifier is moved based on the second touch input, the target object located at the current display position of the target indication identifier may be determined. At this time, the user may continue to perform the second touch input, for example, continue to perform the pressing input after the sliding operation or the rotating operation, and when the time for continuing to press reaches a preset time (for example, 3 seconds), it is determined that the target control operation corresponding to the second touch input is performed on the target object as the clicking operation, so that the terminal performs the clicking operation on the target object.

Optionally, after the target indication identifier is moved based on the second touch input, the target object located at the current display position of the target indication identifier may be determined. At this time, the user may also interrupt the second touch input and input a third touch input, for example, the third touch input may be a click operation in an arbitrary position, a target control sub-area, or a target area on the screen, and the terminal device may regard the third touch input as a continuation operation of the second touch input when receiving the third touch input, recognize that a target control operation corresponding to the second touch input performed on the target object is a click operation, and then perform the click operation on the target object. It should be noted that the interval time between the second touch input and the third touch input (for example, the click operation received within 5 seconds after the second touch input can be regarded as the click operation required on the target object) may be preset to prevent the terminal device from being triggered by mistake.

Optionally, referring to fig. 13, receiving a second touch input of the user on a target control sub-area in the N control sub-areas may specifically be: receiving second touch input of M fingers of a user in M target control subregions, wherein the N control subregions comprise M target control subregions, and M is more than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to N; correspondingly, one target indication mark can be respectively displayed in the M target sub-display areas associated with the M target control sub-areas.

Further, when the target control operation corresponding to the second touch input is performed on the target object in the target sub-display area associated with the target control sub-area, the target control operation corresponding to the second touch input may be performed on the M target sub-display areas associated with the M target control sub-areas. Wherein the target control operation comprises at least one of zooming operation and updating the display content of at least one target sub-display area in the M target sub-display areas.

Taking the example shown in fig. 13, M is taken to be 2. 2 fingers of the user respectively perform second touch input in the No. 1 control subarea and the No. 2 control subarea; correspondingly, in the 2 target sub-display areas (upper left sub-display area and upper right sub-display area, respectively) associated with the control sub-area No. 1 and the control sub-area No. 2, a target indication mark 111 (associated with the control sub-area No. 1) and a target indication mark 112 (associated with the control sub-area No. 2) are also displayed, respectively.

When the target control operation corresponding to the second touch input is executed on the target object in the target sub-display area associated with the target control sub-area, the target control operation corresponding to the second touch input is also executed on the 2 target sub-display areas associated with the 2 target control sub-areas correspondingly. Alternatively, if the second touch input is 2 fingers sliding in the opposite direction, the target control operation corresponding to the second touch input may be a zoom operation, and taking the example shown in fig. 13, the target object in the target sub-display area will be zoomed in under the control of the second touch input.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after a target control operation corresponding to a second touch input is performed on a target object in a target sub-display area associated with a target control sub-area, a fourth touch input of a third finger of a user on a display screen of a terminal device may be further received, and in response to the fourth touch input, the N control sub-areas displayed in the target area are cancelled.

It is to be understood that the third finger may be the same as the first finger and the second finger, or may be different from the first finger and the second finger, as long as the fingerprint information and/or the touch characteristics of the fourth touch input can be distinguished from other touch inputs.

For the convenience of user operation, it is preferable that the fourth touch input and the first touch input are reciprocal operations. The reciprocal operation may be the reverse order of the operations, the reverse direction of the sliding, the correspondence of the fingerprint partitions, and so on. As will be exemplified below.
