Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. 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 application.

The embodiment of the application provides a device control method and device, a storage medium and an electronic device.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 provides a schematic view of an application scenario of a device control system, where the device control system may include any one of the device control apparatuses provided in the embodiments of the present application, and the device control apparatus may be integrated in an electronic device, and the electronic device may include a device with a touch function, such as a smart phone and a tablet computer.

The electronic equipment can acquire a track formed by sliding at least two fingers on the screen in the same direction and touch duration of each track point in the track, wherein the track points comprise a starting point and an end point, a target instruction group is determined from a plurality of candidate instruction groups according to the touch duration of the starting point and the touch duration of the end point, then a target instruction is determined from the target instruction group according to the track, and the electronic equipment is correspondingly controlled according to the target instruction.

For example, the set of candidate instructions may include at least a first set of candidate instructions that may include instructions for indicating an adjustment to a device parameter and a second set of candidate instructions that may include instructions for indicating a state switch to a device mode. The preset time period may be set manually, for example, 3 seconds or 4 seconds, which is slightly longer than the time required for normally ending the motion, and is used for representing a pause state, generally, a touch time period of any track point is shorter than the preset time period, which represents that the finger does not pause at the track point, and a touch time period greater than or equal to the preset time period represents that the finger has a pause state at the track point.

In fig. 1, when the electronic device is in the unlocked state, if it is detected that two fingers of the user slide in the same direction on the screen, it may be determined which candidate instruction group is selected according to a pause condition at the starting point and the ending point, for example, a first candidate instruction group is selected if the user pauses only at the starting point, a second candidate instruction group is selected if the user pauses only at the ending point, or both the ending point and the starting point are not paused, and then a single instruction may be further determined from the candidate instruction groups according to the trajectory, for example, when the trajectory is a slide-down, an instruction for increasing a volume value or a brightness value is selected in the first candidate instruction group, and in the second candidate instruction group, if the user slides only at the ending point, an instruction for switching the state of the cleaning mode is selected, for example, the cleaning mode is switched from the non-cleaning state to the cleaning state, if the cleaning mode is switched at the end point. When the trajectory is a slide-up, an instruction to reduce the volume value or the brightness value is selected in the first candidate instruction group, and an instruction to switch the state of the notification mode, such as switching the notification mode from the notification-allowed state to the notification-prohibited state, is selected in the second candidate instruction group.

As shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a device control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and is applied to an electronic device, where the electronic device includes a screen, and a specific flow may be as follows:

101. and acquiring the locus of the co-sliding of at least two fingers on the screen and the touch duration of each track point in the locus.

In this embodiment, when the electronic device is in a normal use state (that is, in an unlocked state), the sliding information of the finger on the screen may be detected in real time, where the sliding information includes a sliding point position and a corresponding touch time, and a corresponding sliding track is generated according to the sliding information, where the sliding track generally refers to a regular or irregular line segment formed from a starting point to an end point, such as a straight line segment, a broken line segment, a curved line segment, and the like. The unidirectional sliding refers to sliding in the same direction, and generally, a sliding track formed when a plurality of fingers slide in the same direction is a plurality of line segments with the same shape.

102. And determining a target instruction group from a plurality of candidate instruction groups according to the touch duration.

For example, the trace point may include a starting point and an ending point, and the candidate instruction group may include a first candidate instruction group and a second candidate instruction group, in this case, the step 102 may specifically include:

judging whether the touch time length of the starting point is not less than a preset time length or not;

if so, acquiring a first candidate instruction group as a target instruction group when the touch duration of the terminal point is less than a preset duration, wherein the first candidate instruction group comprises an instruction for instructing and controlling the electronic equipment to carry out parameter adjustment;

if not, when the touch duration of the terminal point is less than the preset duration, a second candidate instruction group is obtained as a target instruction group, and the second candidate instruction group comprises an instruction for indicating and controlling the electronic equipment to switch states.

In this embodiment, the preset time period may be set manually, for example, 3 seconds or 4 seconds, which is slightly longer than the time required for normally ending the motion, so as to embody a pause state. When the touch duration of a certain track point is greater than or equal to the preset duration, it represents that the user's finger pauses at the position, and different pause modes can correspondingly start application functions of different types, and when the finger slides, the electronic device can detect the pause condition of each track point in real time, for example, when the user's finger stops at the starting point, a small-range instruction group can be preliminarily determined, for example, a series of instructions belonging to a parameter adjustment type or a state switching type are determined, and the parameter can include brightness or volume, and the like.

In another embodiment, the candidate instruction group may further include a third candidate instruction group, and in this case, after determining whether the touch duration of the starting point is not less than a preset duration, the apparatus control method may further include:

when the touch duration of the starting point is not less than the preset duration, detecting whether a plurality of application windows are displayed in a foreground interface;

if so, acquiring a third candidate instruction group as a target instruction group, wherein the third candidate instruction group comprises an instruction for instructing to process the corresponding application window;

if not, when the touch duration of the terminal point is less than the preset duration, a first candidate instruction group is obtained as a target instruction group.

In this embodiment, the processing of the corresponding application window may include adjusting the size of the corresponding application window, transmitting a file to the corresponding application window, and the like. When the finger starts to slide after the starting point stops, if the current interface is a split-screen interface (that is, at least two application windows are displayed simultaneously), it can be considered that the user wants to process the application windows, and if the current interface is not the split-screen interface, it can be considered that the user wants to adjust the device parameters.

103. Target instructions are determined from the set of target instructions based on the trajectory.

In this embodiment, what kind of functions in the electronic device need to be started can be determined by the two dimensions of the touch duration and the track, for example, different pause conditions, different sliding directions, different sliding distances, and the like of the track point can correspond to different instructions.

(A) When the target instruction set is the first candidate instruction set

In an embodiment, the step 103 may specifically include:

when the track indication slides along a first preset direction and the sliding distance is not less than a first preset distance, acquiring an instruction for increasing the volume value and/or the brightness value from the first candidate instruction group as a target instruction;

when the track instruction slides along the direction opposite to the first preset direction and the sliding distance is not less than a first preset distance, acquiring an instruction for reducing the volume value and/or the brightness value from the first candidate instruction group as a target instruction.

In this embodiment, both the first preset direction and the first preset distance may be set manually, for example, the first preset direction may be above or below, and the first preset distance may be a fixed value, or may be determined according to the length or width of the screen, for example, two thirds of the length or width of the screen. When the finger stops and slides along the first preset direction for a first preset distance, the instruction for adjusting the numerical parameter such as the volume or the brightness to be larger can be obtained, and when the finger stops and slides along the opposite direction of the first preset direction for the first preset distance, the instruction for adjusting the numerical parameter such as the volume or the brightness to be smaller can be obtained.

(B) When the target instruction set is the second candidate instruction set

In an embodiment, the step 103 may specifically include:

judging whether the track meets a first preset condition, wherein the first preset condition is that the track slides along a second preset direction, and the sliding distance is not less than a second preset distance;

if so, acquiring an instruction for indicating the state switching of a cleaning mode from the second candidate instruction group as a target instruction when the touch duration of the terminal is not less than the preset duration, wherein the cleaning mode comprises a cleaning state and a non-cleaning state; or,

and when the touch duration of the endpoint is less than the preset duration, acquiring an instruction for indicating state switching of a screen locking mode, a notification mode, a sound mode and/or a screen rotation mode from the second candidate instruction group as a target instruction, wherein the screen locking mode comprises a locking state and an unlocking state, the notification mode comprises a notification permission state and a notification prohibition state, the sound mode comprises a mute state and a ring state, and the screen rotation mode comprises a rotation prohibition state and a rotation permission state.

In this embodiment, the second preset direction and the second preset distance may be set manually. When the finger slides along the second preset direction for a second preset distance to stop, the memory cleaning operation can be started or stopped. When the finger slides for a second preset distance along a second preset direction, the state of other modes can be switched, for example, the state of one or more of a screen locking mode, a notification mode, a sound mode, a screen rotation mode, and the like is switched, and in the switching process, it is required to determine which state the electronic device is currently in first and switch the electronic device to another state.

In another embodiment, the step 103 may specifically include:

judging whether the track indicates sliding along the curve or not, wherein the foreground display interface does not belong to preset application;

if yes, acquiring an instruction for indicating the state switching of a screen display mode from the second candidate instruction group, and taking the instruction as a target instruction, wherein the screen display mode comprises a horizontal display state and a vertical display state.

In this embodiment, the preset application may be an application related to image viewing, and when the trajectory includes a plurality of sliding directions and the variation rule of the sliding directions is fixed, it may be considered as sliding along a curve, and generally, only when the finger rotates, the finger forms a trajectory of the sliding along the curve. Specifically, in the image viewing interface, the user's finger rotation may initiate an image rotation function, and in the non-image viewing interface, the user's finger rotation may initiate a screen rotation function.

In another embodiment, when the touch duration of the endpoint is less than the preset duration, the step 103 may specifically include:

judging whether the track meets a second preset condition, wherein the second preset condition is that the track slides along a third preset direction, and the sliding distance is not less than a third preset distance;

if yes, when the foreground display interface is a preset interface, a first instruction, a second instruction or a third instruction is obtained from the second candidate instruction group and serves as a target instruction, the first instruction is used for indicating to close the foreground display interface, the second instruction is used for indicating to conduct split screen operation on the foreground display interface, and the third instruction is used for indicating to switch the foreground display interface to a notification preview interface.

In this embodiment, the third preset direction and the third preset distance may be set manually. The preset interface can be any application interface which does not comprise a screen main interface or an interface of a split screen application. The notification preview interface is mainly used for displaying various missed calls, missed messages and other reminding notifications. The split screen operation mainly refers to that a screen is divided into at least two display windows, and different display windows are independently operated.

When the finger slides a third preset distance along a third preset direction, if the foreground display interface is any application interface not including the screen main interface, closing the foreground application (equivalent to switching to a closed state) or displaying the notification preview interface can be realized, wherein the switching mode of switching the foreground display interface to the notification preview interface can be downslide (downslide) or leftslide (right slide), if the foreground display interface is an application interface supporting split screen, split screen operation (equivalent to switching to a split screen state) can be realized, and in the split screen process, the user can select other single or multiple applications which need to be displayed on the screen at the same time by himself or by default of the system.

judging whether the track slides along a fourth preset direction or not, wherein a foreground display interface is an application interface;

if so, calculating the sliding speed according to the touch duration and the total length of the track;

and when the sliding speed is not less than the preset speed, acquiring an instruction for instructing switching of foreground application from the second candidate instruction group as a target instruction.

In this embodiment, the touch duration of each track point can be accumulated to obtain the total duration, and then the ratio between the total track length and the total duration is calculated to obtain the sliding speed. The preset speed mainly refers to the sweeping speed on the screen, the fourth preset direction and the preset speed can be both artificially set, and the fourth preset direction can be the left direction and the right direction or the upper direction and the lower direction. Switching the foreground application may include switching the foreground application with the background application, or switching the foreground application with the designated application.

(C) When the target instruction group is the third candidate instruction group

In an embodiment, the step 103 may specifically include:

when the position of the starting point in the track is overlapped with the position of the boundary line in the application window, acquiring an instruction for instructing the size adjustment of the corresponding application window from the third candidate instruction group as a target instruction; or,

and when the position of the starting point in the track is overlapped with the position of the file in the application window, and the starting point and the end point are positioned in different window applications, acquiring an instruction for instructing the file transmission of the corresponding application window from the third candidate instruction group as a target instruction.

In this embodiment, for a foreground interface on which a plurality of application windows are simultaneously displayed, when a finger slides after a start point pauses, if the pause position is a position where a boundary line of the application window is located, the window adjustment function may be started, and if the pause position is a position where a certain file is located in the application window, and a start point and an end point of the sliding are located in different application windows, the file transfer function may be started.

104. And correspondingly controlling the electronic equipment according to the target instruction.

For example, when the target instruction is used to instruct to switch the foreground application, the step 104 may specifically include:

determining a background application running in the electronic equipment and the starting time of the background application;

determining a target application from the background application according to the starting time;

and switching the foreground application to the target application.

In this embodiment, the background applications may be sorted from left to right or from top to bottom according to the start time, when the electronic device slides in a certain direction (for example, left or top), the background application whose start time is before the foreground application may be used as the target application, and when the electronic device slides in the opposite direction, the background application whose start time is after the foreground application may be used as the target application.

For example, when the target instruction is used to instruct to perform file transfer on a corresponding application window, the step 104 may specifically include:

and transmitting the file corresponding to the starting point into the application window corresponding to the end point.

In this embodiment, data transmission between two applications can be implemented according to different applications corresponding to the starting point and the ending point.

For example, when the target instruction is used to instruct to resize the corresponding application window, the step 104 may specifically include:

dragging the boundary line corresponding to the starting point to the end point.

In this embodiment, when a finger of a user is placed on the window boundary line, the boundary line may be dragged to move along the trajectory, thereby implementing an operation of adjusting the size and position of the application window.

It should be noted that the first preset direction, the second preset direction, the third preset direction and the fourth preset direction may be the same direction or different directions, and the first preset distance, the second preset distance and the third preset distance may be the same distance or different distances, which may specifically be determined according to user requirements.

As can be seen from the above, the device control method provided in this embodiment is applied to an electronic device including a screen, and is implemented by obtaining a trajectory in which at least two fingers slide in the same direction on the screen and a touch duration of each track point in the trajectory, determining a target instruction group from multiple candidate instruction groups according to the touch duration, then determining a target instruction from the target instruction group according to the trajectory, and performing corresponding control on the electronic device according to the target instruction, so that various device functions can be started in a multi-finger sliding manner without entering a related operation interface.

In the present embodiment, a description will be made from the viewpoint of the device control apparatus, and a detailed description will be specifically given taking an example in which the device control apparatus is integrated in an electronic device including a screen.

Referring to fig. 3, a specific flow of an apparatus control method may be as follows:

201. the electronic equipment acquires a track of at least two fingers sliding on the screen in the same direction and touch duration of each track point in the track, wherein the track point comprises a starting point and an end point.

For example, when the screen of the electronic device is in a sensing state (that is, the screen is in an unlocked state), if the user wants to start a certain function, the two or more fingers can slide on the screen in the same direction, and the electronic device can acquire the corresponding track and the touch duration of the track point in the sliding process.

202. The electronic device determines whether the touch duration of the starting point is not less than a preset duration, if so, the following step 203 is executed, and if not, the following step 204 is executed.

For example, the preset time period may be 3 seconds or 4 seconds, which is set manually. In the process of finger sliding, which type of instruction needs to be selected may be determined according to a sliding condition and an application running condition, where the sliding condition relates to a touch time of a starting point, a sliding direction, and the like, and the sliding direction may generally include up-down sliding, left-right sliding, rotating, and the like, and specifically refer to fig. 4.

203. The electronic device detects whether a plurality of application windows are displayed in a foreground interface, if so, a third candidate instruction group is obtained as a target instruction group, the third candidate instruction group comprises an instruction for instructing to process the corresponding application window, and the following step 205 and step 206 are executed, otherwise, when the touch duration of the terminal point is less than the preset duration, a first candidate instruction group is obtained as a target instruction group, the first candidate instruction group comprises an instruction for instructing to control the electronic device to perform parameter adjustment, and the following step 207 and step 208 are executed.

For example, the first candidate instruction group or the third candidate instruction group may be selected when the finger is slid after the start point is stopped, for example, when the current stage interface is the split screen interface of the application, the third candidate instruction group may be selected, and when the current stage interface is not the split screen interface of the application, the first candidate instruction group may be selected, and different candidate instruction groups correspond to different types of instructions.

205. And when the position of the starting point in the track is overlapped with the position of the boundary line in the application window, the electronic equipment acquires an instruction for instructing the size adjustment of the corresponding application window from the third candidate instruction group as a target instruction.

206. And when the position of the starting point in the track is overlapped with the position of the file in the application window, and the starting point and the end point are positioned in different window applications, the electronic equipment acquires an instruction for instructing the file transmission of the corresponding application window from the third candidate instruction group as a target instruction.

For example, referring to fig. 5, when the foreground interface is divided into two application windows a and B, if the user's finger stops on the boundary line of the application window a (i.e. the finger shown by the solid line in the figure) in the initial stage of sliding, the boundary line may be dragged to move so as to adjust the size of the application window a, and if the user's finger stops on a certain file in the application window a (i.e. the PDF file pointed by the finger shown by the dotted line in the figure), the cross-application transmission of the file may be implemented.

207. When the track indicates sliding along a first preset direction and the sliding distance is not smaller than a first preset distance, the electronic equipment acquires an instruction for increasing the volume value and/or the brightness value from the first candidate instruction group as a target instruction.

208. When the track instruction slides along the direction opposite to the first preset direction and the sliding distance is not less than a first preset distance, the electronic equipment acquires an instruction for reducing the volume value and/or the brightness value from the first candidate instruction group as a target instruction.

For example, the first predetermined direction may be a downward sliding direction or an upward sliding direction, and the first predetermined distance may be determined according to the length of the display screen, for example, when the user's finger stops sliding downward (or upward sliding) for a specified distance, the volume or brightness may be increased, and when the user's finger stops sliding upward (or downward sliding) for a specified distance, the volume or brightness may be decreased.

204. When the touch duration of the endpoint is less than the preset duration, the electronic device obtains a second candidate instruction group as a target instruction group, where the second candidate instruction group includes an instruction for instructing the electronic device to perform state switching, and performs step 209 described below.

209. The electronic device determines a target instruction from the second candidate instruction group according to the trajectory.

For example, referring to fig. 6, the step 209 may specifically include:

the electronic equipment judges whether the track meets a first preset condition, wherein the first preset condition is that the track slides along a second preset direction, and the sliding distance is not less than a second preset distance;

if not, the step 201 can be executed again;

For example, the second preset condition and the second preset distance may be the same as or different from the first preset condition and the first preset distance, for example, when the user stops after the finger slides down for a specified distance, memory cleaning may be performed, when the user slides down for a specified distance, the user may lock the screen, or switch the notification permission state and the notification prohibition state (i.e., the do-not-disturb state) in the notification mode, or switch the mute state and the ring state in the sound mode, or switch the rotation prohibition state and the rotation permission state in the screen rotation mode.

For example, referring to fig. 7, the step 209 may specifically include:

the electronic equipment judges whether the track indicates sliding along the curve or not, and a foreground display interface does not belong to a preset application;

if not, the step 201 can be executed again;

For example, the predetermined application may be an image browsing application. When the user fingers rotate, if the foreground display interface is any interface except the image viewing interface, the screen can be switched from the transverse screen to the vertical screen, or the vertical screen is switched to the transverse screen.

For example, referring to fig. 8, the step 209 may specifically include:

when the touch duration of the terminal point is less than the preset duration, the electronic equipment judges whether the track meets a second preset condition, wherein the second preset condition is that the track slides along a third preset direction, and the sliding distance is not less than a third preset distance;

if not, the step 201 can be executed again;

For example, the third preset condition and the third preset distance may be the same as or different from the first preset condition and the first preset distance, for example, when the finger of the user slides down for a specified distance, if the preset interface is an application interface, the application may be closed, or the application interface may be switched to a notification center, and if the preset interface is an application interface supporting split-screen, the application may be split-screen.

For example, referring to fig. 9, the step 209 may specifically include:

when the touch duration of the terminal point is less than the preset duration, judging whether the track slides along a fourth preset direction, wherein a foreground display interface is an application interface;

For example, the fourth predetermined direction may be a left-slide or a right-slide, and when the finger slides left or right at a certain speed, the foreground application may be switched to another application.

210. And the electronic equipment correspondingly controls the electronic equipment according to the target instruction.

For example, when the foreground application needs to be switched, the foreground application can be switched to the previous started application or the next started application or the designated application according to the starting time. When the window file needs to be transmitted, the file can be transmitted in the two application windows according to the different application windows corresponding to the starting point and the end point. When the application window needs to be resized, the boundary line may be dragged from the start position to the end position.

According to the method described in the foregoing embodiment, the present embodiment will be further described from the perspective of a device control apparatus, which may be specifically implemented as an independent entity, or may be implemented by being integrated in an electronic device, such as a terminal, where the terminal may include a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and the like.
