Background

With the innovation and development of the mobile phone technology, the mobile phone touch screen technology is more mature, and the double-sided screen technology is gradually brand-new and has a trend of developing into a mainstream.

The dual-screen technology is a technology in which two touch screens are provided on the same mobile phone, and a Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the mobile phone controls display, interaction, and the like of the two touch screens.

At present, various software and hardware applied to a mobile phone with only a single touch screen are relatively mature and complete, however, the mature and complete software and hardware can not be directly transferred to the mobile phone with a double-sided screen and achieve the expected effect.

For example, most of the current mobile phones with only a single touch screen have a single-receiver and dual-microphone structure, which is the simplest and most reliable structure for supporting a call. However, when the structure is directly applied to a mobile phone with a dual-sided screen, the mobile phone with the dual-sided screen does not have a definite front and back surface for a user, that is, the front and back surfaces of the mobile phone cannot be distinguished when the user uses the mobile phone, so that the user may select one surface without a receiver as the front surface of the mobile phone when talking, and therefore, the problem that the talking requirement of the user cannot be met occurs.

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.

Example 1

In order to solve the problem that the orientation of some functional devices applied to a mobile terminal having at least two touch screens in the prior art cannot be matched with the touch screen serving as a target screen, so that the use requirement of a user on the mobile terminal cannot be met, embodiment 1 of the present application provides a mobile terminal 10 as shown in fig. 1. The mobile terminal 10 includes the following functional modules:

the mobile terminal comprises a mobile terminal body 11, a rotating module 12 and at least two touch screens located on different sides.

For convenience of description, the embodiment 1 of the present application takes an example that the mobile terminal 10 has two touch screens located on different sides.

Only one touch screen 13 of the two touch screens located on different sides is shown in fig. 1, where the touch screen 13 is disposed on one side of the mobile terminal 10, and the other touch screen (not shown) is disposed on the other side of the mobile terminal 10 opposite to the one side.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal body 11 is formed by conventional components of the mobile terminal 10, which are shown in fig. 2 and include but are not limited to: radio frequency unit 21, network module 22, audio output unit 23, sensor 24, interface unit 25, memory 26, central processing unit 27, power supply 28, graphics processor 29, and the like.

The mobile terminal body 11 shown in fig. 2 does not constitute a limitation of the mobile terminal body 11, and the mobile terminal body 11 may include more or less components than those shown, or combine some components, or a different arrangement of components. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal includes, but is not limited to, a mobile terminal, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, a pedometer, and the like.

Since the mobile terminal body 11 is not the focus of the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal body 11 will not be described in detail in the embodiment of the present invention.

The rotary module 12 is described below with emphasis.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the rotating module 12 specifically includes a base 121, a driving mechanism 122, and a functional device 123 as shown in fig. 1.

Wherein the functional device 123 is disposed on the base 121; the base 121 is connected with a driving mechanism 122; the base 121 is rotatably disposed on the mobile terminal body 11 and can be rotationally switched between at least two positions by the driving mechanism 122.

The functional device 123 may be one functional device, or may include at least two functional devices, and the specific functional device 123 is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that, as described above, the body of the mobile terminal 10 includes at least two touch screens located on different sides, and in order to enable the orientation of the functional device 123 to match the orientation of the touch screen as a target screen, in an embodiment of the present invention, the base 121 can be rotationally switched between at least two positions under the driving of the driving mechanism 122, which specifically includes:

the base 121 is rotationally switchable between at least two positions under the drive of the drive mechanism 122 such that the functional device 123 is directed towards the different side in different ones of the at least two positions.

Since the functional device 123 is provided on the base 121, when the base 121 is rotationally switched between at least two positions by the driving mechanism 122, the functional device 123 changes its orientation as the rotation of the base 121 is switched. When the base 121 is rotated to switch to the target position, the functional device 123 also reaches its target position, and the functional device 123 faces a side of the mobile terminal, which is a side facing the target screen.

The functional device 123 includes, but is not limited to: at least one of a sound output hole of the receiver, a sensor, a camera and a microphone.

The target screen described in the embodiments of the present application may refer to a screen used as a "front side" of the mobile terminal 10. By a screen used as "front side" is generally meant a touch screen for providing at least one of the following functions:

function one: a user input is detected. For example, a sliding operation of the user for answering a phone call is detected, a clicking operation of the user on the display content of the interface is detected, and the like.

And a second function: and providing interactive support with the user. Interactive support includes, but is not limited to, displaying information, etc.

By adopting the scheme provided by embodiment 1 of the present invention, for a mobile terminal having at least two touch screens disposed on different sides, the mobile terminal may further include a rotation module, and a base provided with a functional device and included in the rotation module may be rotationally switched between at least two positions under the driving of a driving mechanism, so that the functional device faces towards the different sides at different positions of the at least two positions. Therefore, the orientation of the functional device can be flexibly adjusted according to the requirement, so that the orientation of the functional device is matched with the orientation of the touch screen serving as the target screen. Therefore, the problem that the functional device of the mobile terminal with at least two touch screens in the prior art cannot meet the use requirements of the user on the mobile terminal can be avoided.

In addition, by adopting the mobile terminal provided by the embodiment of the invention, because the functional use requirements of the functional device 123 when the touch screens positioned on different sides are used as the target screen can be met based on one functional device 123, the functional devices 123 with the same direction as the touch screens positioned on different sides do not need to be respectively arranged aiming at the touch screens positioned on different sides, so that the hardware resources can be saved, and the manufacturing cost of the terminal is also saved.

Example 2

In order to solve the problem that the orientation of some functional devices applied to a mobile terminal having at least two touch screens in the prior art cannot be matched with the touch screen serving as a target screen, and thus cannot meet the use requirement of a user for the mobile terminal, embodiment 2 of the present application provides a mobile terminal 30 as shown in fig. 3. The mobile terminal 30 includes the following functional modules:

the mobile terminal comprises a mobile terminal body 31, a rotating module 32 and at least two touch screens positioned on different sides.

Wherein the rotation module 32 includes a first rotation module 321 and a second rotation module 322. The first rotating module 321 includes a base 3211, a driving mechanism 3212, and a functional device 3213; the second rotation module 322 includes a base 3221, a drive mechanism 3222, and a functional device 3223.

The functional device 3213 and the functional device 3223 may be the same functional device, or may be different functional devices, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

For convenience of description, in embodiment 1 of the present application, the mobile terminal 30 is exemplified to have two touch screens located on different sides.

Only one of the two touch screens 33 on different sides is shown in fig. 1, where the touch screen 33 is disposed on one side of the mobile terminal 30, and the other touch screen (not shown) is disposed on the other side of the mobile terminal 30 opposite to the one side.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal body 31 is formed by conventional components of the mobile terminal 30, which are shown in fig. 2 and include but are not limited to: radio frequency unit 21, network module 22, audio output unit 23, sensor 24, user input unit 25, interface unit 26, memory 27, processor 28, and power supply 29. Since the mobile terminal body 11 is not the focus of the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal body 31 will not be described in detail in the embodiment of the present invention.

As for the first rotation module 321 and the second rotation module 322 in embodiment 2 of the present invention, because the structures, functions, and the like of the first rotation module 321 and the second rotation module 322 are the same as those of the rotation module 12 in embodiment 1, for the description of the specific structures and functions of the first rotation module 321 and the second rotation module 322, reference may be made to the description of the rotation module 12 in embodiment 1, and details are not repeated here.

It should be noted that, as described above, the body of the mobile terminal 30 includes at least two touch screens located on different sides, taking the functional device 3213 (the functional device 3223 and so on) as an example, in order to enable the orientation of the functional device 3213 to be matched with the orientation of the touch screen serving as a target screen, in an embodiment of the present invention, the base 3211 can be rotationally switched between at least two positions under the driving of the driving mechanism 3212, which specifically includes:

the base 3211 is rotationally switchable between at least two positions under the drive of the drive mechanism 3212 such that the function device 3213 is oriented toward the different side in different ones of the at least two positions.

The functional devices 3213 include, but are not limited to: at least one of a sound output hole of the receiver, a sensor, a camera and a microphone.

The target screen described in the embodiment of the present application may refer to a screen used as the "front side" of the mobile terminal 30. By a screen used as "front side" is generally meant a touch screen for providing at least one of the following functions:

By adopting the scheme provided by embodiment 2 of the present invention, for a mobile terminal having at least two touch screens disposed on different sides, the mobile terminal may further include a rotation module, and a base provided with a functional device and included in the rotation module may be rotationally switched between at least two positions under the driving of a driving mechanism, so that the functional device faces towards the different sides at different positions of the at least two positions. Therefore, the orientation of the functional device can be flexibly adjusted according to the requirement, so that the orientation of the functional device is matched with the orientation of the touch screen serving as the target screen. Therefore, the problem that the functional device of the mobile terminal with at least two touch screens in the prior art cannot meet the use requirements of the user on the mobile terminal can be avoided.

In practical applications, a mobile terminal having 3 or more rotation modules (e.g., 3 rotation modules 12) is within the scope of the present invention, as long as the mobile terminal satisfies the requirements of including a mobile terminal body and at least two touch screens located on different sides, and the structure and function of the rotation modules are the same as those of the rotation modules 12.

Example 3

In order to solve the problem that the orientation of some functional devices applied to a mobile terminal having at least two touch screens in the prior art cannot be matched with the touch screen serving as a target screen, so that the use requirement of a user on the mobile terminal cannot be met, embodiment 1 of the present application provides a control method as shown in fig. 4. The control method can be applied to, for example, a mobile terminal as shown in fig. 1 or 3.

The steps included in the method are specifically described as follows:

step 41, the mobile terminal detects whether a first input is received;

wherein the first input comprises: and taking at least one touch screen of the at least two touch screens positioned on different sides as the input of the target screen.

For the definition of the target screen, reference may be made to the related description in embodiment 1 or 2, and details are not repeated here.

And 42, if the mobile terminal receives the first input, controlling the base to rotate and switch between at least two positions in the embodiment 1 or 2 through the driving mechanism, so that the orientation of the functional device is the same as that of the target screen.

Taking the mobile terminal shown in fig. 1 as an example, assume that a first input is received, wherein the first input includes: the touch screen 13 is used as an input of the target screen. Then, the mobile terminal controls the base 121 to switch to a certain position (for example, referred to as a first position) of the at least two positions through the driving mechanism 122. When the base 121 is switched to the first position, the functional device 123 faces a side where the target screen is located, that is, when the base 121 is switched to the first position, the functional device 123 faces the target screen.

By adopting the control mode, the orientation of the functional device can be flexibly adjusted according to the requirement, so that the orientation of the functional device is matched with the orientation of the touch screen serving as the target screen. Therefore, the problem that the functional device of the mobile terminal with at least two touch screens in the prior art cannot meet the use requirements of the user on the mobile terminal can be avoided.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the first input is received, the orientation of the functional device and the orientation of the target screen may be determined; if the two directions are consistent, the base does not need to be controlled by the driving mechanism to rotate and switch between the at least two positions; and if the orientation of the functional device is not consistent with that of the target screen, the base can be controlled by the driving mechanism to rotate and switch between the at least two positions, so that the orientation of the functional device is the same as that of the target screen.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the aforementioned first input may include, but is not limited to, one of the following inputs:

1. and touch input on a target screen of the mobile terminal.

For example, any touch input on the target screen may belong to the category of category 1 input. For example, the touch input may include, but is not limited to: a slide unlock touch input, a touch input of clicking an answer button when answering a call, a touch input of clicking a prompt message (such as a reading reminder of a short message or an instant communication message), and the like.

Once at least one of the at least two touch screens of the mobile terminal receives a touch input, it may be determined that a first input is received, and thus the touch screen on which the first input occurs may be determined as a target screen.

2. And touch input is carried out when the touch area on the target screen of the mobile terminal is larger than a preset first area threshold value.

In an actual application scene of the mobile terminal, a user may make a "false touch" on the touch screen, and if the "false touch" is regarded as a purposeful touch input, a target screen may be misjudged, that is, the touch screen that has made the "false touch" is erroneously judged as the target screen. In order to avoid this situation, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is proposed that the first input may be the type 2 input, that is, "a touch input in which a touch area on a target screen of the mobile terminal is larger than a preset first area threshold".

Under the condition, the mobile terminal does not regard the touch input with the touch area not larger than the preset first area threshold as the first input, so that the misjudgment can be avoided.

And only when receiving the touch input with the touch area larger than the preset first area threshold value, the touch screen where the input occurs is determined as the target screen, so that the accuracy of determining the target screen is improved.

In the embodiment of the present invention, it is proposed that the first input may be a touch input in which a touch area on a target screen of the mobile terminal is larger than a preset first area threshold, and it is mainly considered that usage habits of a user on the target screen often include: and performing operation (such as call making/answering operation) based on the target screen so as to achieve the corresponding purpose (such as call connection). In such a scenario, a user often generates a behavior that a cheek is tightly attached to a target screen, so that the mobile terminal is easy to detect a touch input with a touch area larger than a preset first area threshold. In such a scenario, the touch input with the touch area larger than the preset first area threshold is used as the first input, which is undoubtedly very accurate.

3. And touch input of the designated control on the touch screen of the mobile terminal. And the touch input of the designated control is used for indicating the mobile terminal to switch the touch screen serving as the target screen.

The specific form of the designated control may be, for example, a button on the user interface.

In the embodiment of the invention, the button can be arranged in some interfaces (such as a call interface) of the mobile terminal in consideration of facilitating the user to switch different touch screens as the target screen of the mobile terminal. If the mobile terminal detects that the user clicks the button (called a screen-cut button), the touch screen serving as the target screen of the mobile terminal can be switched. For example, if the mobile terminal has two touch screens a and B, and the touch screen currently serving as the target screen of the mobile terminal and displaying the screen-cut button is a, then if the mobile terminal detects that the user clicks the screen-cut button, the touch screen B may be switched to serve as the target screen of the mobile terminal. And B, displaying the content currently displayed on A on B after B is switched to the target screen of the mobile terminal.

In this embodiment of the present invention, if the mobile terminal has the structure shown in fig. 3, the method provided in embodiment 3 of the present invention may further include:

detecting whether a second input is received; the second input comprises: taking one end of the target screen as an input of a target end (the target end is, for example, an upper end or a lower end) of the mobile terminal body;

and if the second input is received, controlling the functional device of the rotating module at the target end to work in the first working mode, and controlling the functional device of the rotating module far away from the target end to work in the second working mode.

The following illustrates a specific implementation of the above steps.

For example, the functional device according to the embodiment of the present invention may be a microphone or the like. The devices can be arranged at different ends (such as the upper end and the lower end) of the mobile terminal, and when the mobile terminal is in a specified working state (such as a conversation state), the devices arranged at different ends may need to work in different modes respectively, for example, a microphone positioned at the upper end of one side of a current target screen of the mobile terminal can work in a noise reduction mode, namely, the microphone can be used as a noise reduction microphone for collecting background noise; the microphone at the lower end of one side of the current target screen of the mobile terminal can work in a voice mode, namely, the microphone is used as a voice microphone for collecting human voice.

The device works in a specific working mode, which is a working mode of the device.

The telephone receiver can also be classified into the devices, when the mobile terminal is in a designated working state (such as a conversation state), the telephone receiver positioned at the upper end of one side of the current target screen of the mobile terminal can work in a 'voice-out' mode, namely the telephone receiver works normally; and the telephone receiver positioned at the lower end of one side of the current target screen of the mobile terminal can work in a 'sleep' mode, namely the telephone receiver is in sleep.

In order to flexibly control the working modes of the functional devices at different ends of the target screen, the embodiment of the invention provides that if a second input is received, the functional device of the rotating module at the target end is controlled to work in the first working mode, and the functional device of the rotating module far away from the target end is controlled to work in the second working mode.

If the two ends of the target screen are respectively provided with the distance detectors; the second input may include: and inputting the approach when the mobile terminal is in the first working state.

Wherein the approach input is such that a distance value to the target object detected by the distance detector disposed at the target end is greater than a distance value to the target object detected by the distance detector disposed away from the target end.

The first operating state described herein may include, for example and without limitation, at least one of a call state, a state of playing voice information, and the like.

By adopting the technical means, no matter whether the user takes any end of the mobile terminal in the first working state as a target end (for example, one end close to ears during communication, namely the upper end, or one end close to mouth during communication, namely the lower end), the functional device respectively positioned at the target end and the functional device far away from the target end can be controlled to respectively work in a working mode matched with the current first working state of the mobile terminal, so that the user does not need to pay attention to which end of the mobile terminal is used as the target end, and the user can obtain good experience of freely and randomly using the mobile terminal.

In an embodiment, considering that, for a mobile terminal in a second working state (such as a call state or a state of playing voice information and the like requiring a cheek close to a target screen), a user often does not need to observe display contents of the target screen, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a power saving scheme in this scenario.

The scheme is applied to a mobile terminal provided with a distance detector and comprises the following steps:

for the mobile terminal in the second working state, if the distance detector detects that the distance value between the target screen of the mobile terminal and the target (such as a human face and the like) is smaller than a preset first distance threshold value, and the touch area of the touch operation of the touch screen serving as the target screen is larger than a preset second area threshold value, controlling the backlight of the touch screen serving as the target screen to be turned off.

The distance value between a target screen of the mobile terminal and the target is smaller than a preset first distance threshold value, and the fact that the mobile terminal is close to the target is indicated; and if the touch area of the touch operation of the touch screen serving as the target screen is larger than a preset second area threshold, indicating that a part of the target is attached to the target screen. In this case, it is likely that the user attaches the target screen to the cheek to facilitate answering a call or listening to voice information, which is the case of "no need to observe the display content of the target screen" as described above, so that the backlight of the touch screen as the target screen can be controlled to be turned off to achieve the purpose of saving power.

Example 4

In order to solve the problem that a functional device applied to a mobile terminal with at least two touch screens in the prior art may not meet the use requirements of a user on the mobile terminal, embodiment 4 of the present invention provides a method for controlling a working mode of the functional device. The execution subject of the method may be an electronic device of a mobile terminal type, such as a mobile phone, a personal computer or tablet computer with a touch screen, a smart wearable device with a touch screen, or the execution subject of the method may also be an Application (APP) installed on the electronic device. The electronic equipment is provided with at least two touch screens.

For convenience of describing embodiment 4 of the present invention, the method is described below by taking the implementation subject of the solution as a mobile terminal with two touch screens.

Referring to fig. 5 in the specification, a specific flow diagram of a method for controlling a working mode of a functional device according to embodiment 4 of the present invention is provided, where the flow specifically includes the following steps:

step 51, the mobile terminal monitors whether an event representing the designated function which the mobile terminal should have occurs;

the specific functions to be provided may include, but are not limited to: when one of the two touch screens is used as a target screen of the mobile terminal, a function of a user for collecting and/or transmitting a voice signal based on the target screen is supported, and/or a function of 'using one end of the target screen as a voice input end during a call and using the other end of the target screen as a voice output end during the call' is supported, and the like.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the event characterizing the specified function that the mobile terminal should have may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following events:

events of the first type: and taking at least one touch screen of the mobile terminal as an event of a target screen of the mobile terminal. For example, the first input received as described in embodiment 3 may be considered as the occurrence of the first type event. The target screen in the embodiment of the present invention may be a touch screen that is used as a front side when the mobile terminal is used. Of course, the target screen may also be a touch screen that is used as the reverse side (back side) of the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is used, and even if the target screen is the reverse side, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be normally applicable. For convenience of description and understanding of readers, the target screen is taken as a touch screen on the front side when the mobile terminal is used as an example, and the scheme is described below.

The specified function characterized by the first type of event may include, but is not limited to: the function of collecting and/or transmitting voice signals based on the target screen of the mobile terminal, and/or the function of taking one end of the target screen as a voice input end during communication and the other end of the target screen as a voice output end during communication, and the like.

The second type of event: and taking one end of at least one touch screen of the mobile terminal as an event of a designated end of the mobile terminal. For example, the second type of event can be considered to have occurred when the second input is received as described in embodiment 3.

The specified functions characterized by the second type of event may include, but are not limited to: a function of "taking one end of the target screen as a voice input terminal at the time of a call, and the other end of the target screen as a voice output terminal at the time of a call", and the like.

The following describes in detail which events can be classified as events of the first type and which events can be classified as events of the second type.

First it is described which events can be classified as events of the first type. For example, the following three events can be classified as the first type of event.

Firstly, a touch operation event of a touch screen of the mobile terminal in a first working state;

for example, the first operating state may include, but is not limited to: in a state of displaying a lock screen interface, or in a state related to a voice call, and the like.

Taking the state related to the voice call as an example, the state may be further subdivided into the following states:

1. a state in which a voice call is to be initiated-at which time the user may have called out the address book to dial a certain telephone number, as shown in fig. 6. In this state, the touch operation event on the touch screen of the mobile terminal may include, but is not limited to: clicking a certain phone number displayed on the touch screen, or clicking the call button 63 shown in fig. 6 after selecting or inputting a phone number.

2. In a state where a voice call is to be received, when there is an incoming call, an incoming call interface as shown in fig. 7 is displayed on the touch screen. In this state, the touch operation event on the touch screen of the mobile terminal may include, but is not limited to: and the sliding gesture operation is used for indicating the mobile terminal to answer the incoming call.

3. In a call-in-progress state, when the mobile terminal is answering an incoming call, in this state, the touch operation event on the touch screen of the mobile terminal may include, but is not limited to: clicking a button in the call interface such as "mute", "hands-free" or "add call".

Secondly, an event that the touch area of the touch operation of the touch screen of the mobile terminal in the second working state is larger than a preset first area threshold value;

the second operating state referred to herein may be the same as or different from the first operating state. For example, the second operating state may include, but is not limited to: a state in which a call is in progress, etc.

For the mobile terminal in the second working state, the size of the touch area of the touch operation of the touch screen may reflect to a certain extent whether the user wants to use the touch screen as the target screen of the mobile terminal. For example, when a user is talking, the user's face is likely to contact the touch screen in a large area, and the touch screen that is contacted is the touch screen used as the target screen of the mobile terminal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a first area threshold may be preset, and subsequently, when the mobile terminal is in the second working state, it may be determined whether the touch area of the touch operation of the touch screen of the mobile terminal is greater than the first area threshold, and if it is determined that the touch area of the touch operation of the touch screen of the mobile terminal in the second working state is greater than the preset first area threshold, it may be determined that an event that the touch area of the touch operation of the touch screen of the mobile terminal in the second working state is greater than the preset first area threshold is monitored.

And thirdly, the touch screen receives an event of the operation instruction of the specified control.

The operation instruction for the designated control is used for instructing the mobile terminal to switch the touch screen serving as the target screen of the mobile terminal. The specific form of the designated control may be, for example, a button on the user interface.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to facilitate the user to switch different touch screens as the target screen of the mobile terminal, the button may be set in some interfaces (such as a call interface) of the mobile terminal, such as the screen-cut button 80 shown in fig. 8, which is the button. If the mobile terminal detects that the user clicks the screen-cut button 80, the touch screen serving as the target screen of the mobile terminal can be switched. For example, if the mobile terminal has two touch screens a and B, and the touch screen currently serving as the target screen of the mobile terminal and displaying the screen-cut button 80 is a, then if the mobile terminal detects that the user clicks the screen-cut button 80, B may be switched to serve as the target screen of the mobile terminal. And B, displaying the content currently displayed on A on B after B is switched to the target screen of the mobile terminal.

Which events can be classified as the second type of event is described below.

For example, for a mobile terminal in the third working state, events with different distance values from the target object, which are respectively detected by the distance detectors arranged at the upper and lower ends of the mobile terminal, are determined, and the events can be classified as the second type of events.

The third operating state may be the same as or different from the first operating state or the second operating state.

Still taking the third operating state including the state of making a call as an example, regarding the mobile terminal in the third operating state, the magnitude relationship between the distance values from the target object respectively detected by the distance detectors at the upper and lower ends of the mobile terminal may reflect to a certain extent which end of the mobile terminal the user wants to use as the upper end (or the lower end) of the mobile terminal. For example, when a user is engaged in a call, the end of the mobile terminal near the user's ear is often closer to the user, while the end near the user's mouth is often farther from the user. At this time, the distance values from the target object (user) respectively detected by the distance detectors at the upper and lower ends of the mobile terminal may be larger than the distance value detected by the distance detector at the lower end.

Based on the characteristic that the size relationship can embody which end of the mobile terminal the user wants to use as the upper end (or the lower end) of the mobile terminal, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the mobile terminal is in the third working state, the size relationship between the distance values from the target object respectively detected by the distance detectors arranged at the upper and lower ends of the mobile terminal can be monitored, and if the size relationship is monitored to be unequal, it can be determined that the events with different sizes of the distance values from the target object respectively detected by the distance detectors arranged at the upper and lower ends of the mobile terminal are monitored.

And step 52, if the mobile terminal monitors that an event representing the appointed function which the mobile terminal should have occurs, controlling the functional device to work in a working mode matched with the appointed function.

The functional device works in a working mode matched with the specified function, so that the mobile terminal can have the specified function.

The functional device according to the embodiment of the present invention may be, for example, a receiver, a distance detector (e.g., an infrared sensor), or a light sensor. A common feature of such functional devices is that the signal input/output ports of the functional devices may be required to face the current "target screen" of the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is in a designated operational state (e.g., a talk state).

The signal input/output port of the functional device faces to the current 'target screen' of the mobile terminal, which is a working mode of the functional device.

Taking the designated function that the mobile terminal should have as an example the function of collecting and/or playing the voice signal based on the target screen, the signal input/output port of the functional device faces the current "target screen" of the mobile terminal, which is a working mode of the functional device matched with the designated function.

The functional device according to the embodiment of the present invention may be a functional device such as a microphone. Such functional devices may be disposed at different ends (e.g., upper end and lower end) of the mobile terminal, and when the mobile terminal is in a designated working state (e.g., a call state), such functional devices that may need to be disposed at different ends may respectively work in different modes — for example, a microphone located at an upper end of a current target screen of the mobile terminal may work in a "noise reduction" mode, i.e., serve as a noise reduction microphone for collecting background noise; the microphone at the lower end of the current target screen of the mobile terminal can work in a voice mode, namely, the microphone is used as a voice microphone for collecting human voice. The functional device works in a specific working mode, which is a working mode of the functional device. The telephone receiver can also be classified into the functional devices, when the mobile terminal is in a designated working state (such as a conversation state), the telephone receiver positioned at the upper end of the current target screen of the mobile terminal can work in a 'voice-out' mode, namely the telephone receiver works normally; and the receiver positioned at the lower end of the current target screen of the mobile terminal can work in a 'sleep' mode, namely the receiver is in sleep.

Taking the function that the mobile terminal should have as an example that "a certain end of the target screen is taken as a voice input end during a call, and the other end of the target screen is taken as a voice output end during the call", a receiver at the upper end of the target screen of the mobile terminal works in a "voice-out" mode, and a receiver at the lower end of the current target screen of the mobile terminal works in a "sleep" mode, which is a working mode of the functional device matched with the specified function.

In the embodiment of the present invention, mapping relationships between respective event characteristics of the first type event and the second type event, the identifier of the functional device, and the working mode of the functional device may be set in the mobile terminal in advance. Based on the mapping relationship, when the first type event is monitored, for example, the identifier of the functional device and the working mode of the functional device can be determined by searching the mapping relationship according to the event characteristics of the first type event. The event characteristics can represent the designated function that the mobile terminal should have, and therefore, the mapping relationship is equivalent to the mapping relationship among the designated function that the mobile terminal should have, the identifier of the functional device, and the working mode of the functional device.

What has been described above is what is a functional device, what is monitored that an event occurs that characterizes a specified function that the mobile terminal should possess, what is the mode of operation of the functional device, and how the mode of operation of the functional device is determined. In the following, by way of example, how to control the functional device to operate in an operation mode matching the specified function is described.

Taking an event which represents a designated function that the mobile terminal should have as an example of a first type of event, if the working mode of the corresponding functional device includes: the orientation of the signal input port and/or the signal output port of the functional device, and the signal input port and/or the signal input port of the functional device can be adjusted to adapt to different faces of the mobile terminal, then, a specific implementation manner of step 52 may include:

if the first type event is monitored to occur, the orientation of the signal input port and/or the signal output port of the control function device is adjusted to be consistent with the orientation of the target screen of the touch screen where the first type event occurs.

Through such adjustment, after the mobile terminal takes at least one touch screen as a target screen, the mobile terminal can be enabled to have a designated function, such as a call based on the target screen, including a function of collecting and/or transmitting a voice signal.

Taking an event that represents a designated function that the mobile terminal should have as a second type of event, and two ends of the mobile terminal are respectively provided with a function device as an example, the specific implementation manner of step 52 may include: and if the second type of event is monitored to occur, controlling the functional device close to the appointed end of the mobile terminal to work in a first working mode, and controlling the functional device far away from the appointed end to work in a second working mode. For example, the functional device may be a microphone; when the designated end is the upper end, the first working mode comprises a noise reduction mode, and the second working mode comprises a voice mode.

By adopting the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, for the mobile terminal with at least two touch screens, whether an event representing the appointed function which the mobile terminal should have occurs can be monitored, and when the event is monitored to occur, the functional device is controlled to work in the working mode matched with the appointed function, so that the working mode of the functional device can be controlled based on the occurrence of the event representing the appointed function which the mobile terminal should have, and the problem that the working mode applied to the functional device of the mobile terminal with at least two touch screens in the prior art is lack of control, so that the use requirement of a user on the mobile terminal cannot be met is solved.

In the embodiment of the invention, another improvement scheme is provided on the basis of the method in consideration of that under some conditions, for example, under the condition that a user does not pay attention to or cannot pay attention to the content displayed on the screen, the backlight of the touch screen can be controlled to be turned off so as to save the electric energy of the mobile terminal.

The improvement scheme can be applied to a mobile terminal provided with a distance detector, and comprises the following steps:

and for the mobile terminal in the fourth working state, if the distance detector detects that the distance value between the target screen of the mobile terminal and the target is smaller than a preset first distance threshold value, and the touch area of the touch operation of the touch screen serving as the target screen of the mobile terminal is larger than a preset second area threshold value, controlling the backlight lamp of the touch screen serving as the target screen to be turned off.

The fourth operating state may be the same as or different from the first operating state, the second operating state, or the third operating state.

Taking the fourth operating state as an example of a call state, the following illustrates an embodiment of the modified solution:

if the distance detector detects that the distance value between the target screen of the mobile terminal and the target is smaller than a preset first distance threshold value, it indicates that the user is close to the mobile terminal at the moment, and further, if the touch area is larger than a preset second area threshold value, it may indicate that the user has a large body part (probably a large face) attached to the mobile terminal — it is comprehensively indicated that the user may be in a state of placing the mobile terminal on the large face for telephone answering at the moment. In this case, since the user does not pay attention to or cannot pay attention to the screen display content of the target screen of the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal controls the backlight of the touch screen as the target screen to be turned off, so that the purpose of saving unnecessary power consumption of the mobile terminal is achieved.

Example 5:

one particular use of an embodiment of the invention is described below in conjunction with a practical application to form another embodiment of the invention.

Embodiment 5 can be applied to a mobile terminal having a dual-sided screen, two microphones, two receivers, two infrared sensors, etc., as shown in fig. 9.

Wherein, two-sided screen is two-sided touch screen promptly, and the setting mode that these two-sided touch screen set up on mobile terminal is: the back of the touch screen is arranged oppositely.

As shown in fig. 9, it is a schematic diagram of positions of two-sided touch screens on a mobile terminal, i.e. a first touch screen 911, a second touch screen 912, and other modules, including a first microphone 921, a second microphone 922, a probe 931 of a first infrared sensor, a probe 932 of a second infrared sensor, a first receiver sound outlet 941, a second receiver sound outlet 942, a first rotation module 951, and a second rotation module 952. In fig. 9, rectangular frames indicated by dashed frames located at the upper and lower sides of the figure are schematic diagrams of a top view and a bottom view of the mobile terminal located between the two dashed frames.

In fig. 9, a detecting head 931 of a first infrared sensor and a first receiver sound outlet 941 are disposed on a first rotation module 951 and can rotate along with the rotation of the first rotation module 951; the detecting head 932 of the second infrared sensor and the second receiver sound outlet 942 are disposed on the second rotating module 952, and can rotate with the rotation of the first rotating module 952.

The motors (or motors) 96 and the rotating pull rods 97 shown in fig. 10 are arranged inside the first rotating module 951 and the second rotating module 952, so that the first rotating module 951 and the second rotating module 952 can be supported to rotate by driving the rotating pull rods 97 through the motors 96 under the control of a CPU of the mobile terminal, and the direction of the rotation is consistent with the front direction of the first touch screen 911 or consistent with the front direction of the second touch screen 912, specifically consistent with the front direction of which touch screen, and the CPU controls the rotation according to actual conditions.

The first rotation module 951 and the second rotation module 952 have similar structures, and a sectional view of the first rotation module 951 is shown in fig. 11 by taking the first rotation module 951 as an example. As can be seen from the cross-sectional view, the first rotation module 951 includes a housing 9511, and the first receiver 99 corresponding to the first receiver sound outlet 941, the back chamber 991 of the first receiver 99, and the sound guide channel 992 of the first receiver 99 are located in the housing 9511.

Based on the mobile terminal shown in fig. 9, how to control the receiver and/or the microphone to operate in an operation mode matching with one touch screen used by the user when the user makes or receives a call is described below.

If it is assumed that the user needs to make or receive a call currently, and specifically, the call is initiated or received based on a click operation or a gesture operation on the first touch screen 911, the corresponding process of controlling the receiver and/or the microphone is as shown in fig. 12, and includes the following steps:

in step 121, the mobile terminal detects an operation performed by the user that triggers a call to be placed or a call to be answered.

The user performs the operation of triggering the mobile terminal to initiate a call, and the operation may include: the user may input a phone number to be dialed and click a call button in a user interface displayed by the first touch screen 911 of the mobile terminal as shown in fig. 6 to trigger the mobile terminal to initiate a call.

The process of the user performing the operation of triggering the mobile terminal to answer the call may include, for example: the user can perform a sliding operation in the incoming call interface displayed by the first touch screen 911 of the mobile terminal as shown in fig. 7 to trigger the mobile terminal to answer the call.

Step 122, if the mobile terminal detects an operation of triggering to initiate a call or answer a call, which is executed by a user, the mobile terminal determines which touch screen of the mobile terminal the operation is performed on; if the determination is made for the first touch screen 911, execute step 123; if the determination is made for the second touch screen 912, step 125 is executed.

In step 123, the mobile terminal controls the first rotation module 951 and/or the second rotation module 952 to rotate, so that the orientations of the detecting head 931 and the first receiver sound outlet 941 of the first infrared sensor disposed on the first rotation module 951, and the orientations of the detecting head 932 and the second receiver sound outlet 942 of the second infrared sensor disposed on the second rotation module 952 are consistent with the front orientation of the first touch screen 911.

As shown in fig. 13, the orientations of the probing head 931 and the first receiver sound outlet 941 of the first infrared sensor disposed on the first rotating module 951 and the orientations of the probing head 932 and the second receiver sound outlet 942 of the second infrared sensor disposed on the second rotating module 952 are both consistent with the front orientation of the first touch screen 911.

It should be noted that, when the mobile terminal detects an operation performed by the user to trigger the call origination or the call reception, it is possible that an orientation of at least one of the first rotation module 951 and the second rotation module 952 is consistent with a front orientation of the first touch screen 911. In this case, for the rotation module whose orientation is already consistent with the front orientation of the first touch screen 911, the mobile terminal does not need to control the rotation module to rotate any more, and only the rotation module whose orientation is not consistent with the front orientation of the first touch screen 911 may be controlled to rotate.

Before controlling the rotation module to rotate, the mobile terminal may obtain a recorded angle value of the latest rotation of the motor in the first rotation module 951, and determine, according to the angle value and a mapping relationship between different rotation angle values of the motor and the orientation of the first rotation module 951, the orientation of the first rotation module 951 mapped with the obtained angle value as the current orientation of the first rotation module 951; similarly, the recorded angle value of the latest rotation of the motor in the second rotation module 952 may also be obtained, and the orientation of the second rotation module 952 mapped with the obtained angle value may be determined according to the angle value and the mapping relationship between different rotation angle values of the motor and the orientation of the second rotation module 952, which is stored in advance, as the current orientation of the second rotation module 952. Based on the current orientation of the first rotation module 951 and the second rotation module 952, the mobile terminal can determine which rotation module should be controlled to rotate and which rotation module does not need to rotate.

In step 124, if the mobile terminal detects that the operation of triggering the call initiation or the call answering performed by the user is performed on the first touch screen 911, it determines that the first touch screen 911 is the target screen, and thus according to a default setting corresponding to the event of "performing the operation on the first touch screen 911", the first receiver corresponding to the first receiver sound output hole 941 shown in fig. 13 is set to output sound, and the second receiver corresponding to the second receiver sound output hole 942 is not operated, and further, the first microphone 911 shown in fig. 13 is set as a noise reduction microphone, and the second microphone 912 is set as a voice microphone.

In embodiment 5 of the present invention, the execution sequence of step 123 and step 124 may be flexible, for example, step 123 may be executed before step 124, or step 124 may be executed before step 123, or step 123 and step 124 may be executed synchronously.

In step 125, the mobile terminal controls the first rotation module 951 and/or the second rotation module 952 to rotate, so that the orientations of the probing head 931 and the first receiver sound outlet 941 of the first infrared sensor disposed on the first rotation module 951, and the orientations of the probing head 932 and the second receiver sound outlet 942 of the second infrared sensor disposed on the second rotation module 952 are consistent with the front orientation of the second touch screen 912.

As shown in fig. 14, the orientations of the probing head 931 and the first receiver sound outlet 941 of the first infrared sensor disposed on the first rotating module 951 and the orientations of the probing head 932 and the second receiver sound outlet 942 of the second infrared sensor disposed on the second rotating module 952 are both consistent with the front orientation of the second touch screen 912.

It should be noted that, when the mobile terminal detects an operation performed by the user to trigger the call origination or the call reception, it is possible that an orientation of at least one of the first rotation module 951 and the second rotation module 952 is consistent with a front orientation of the second touch screen 912. In this case, for the rotation module whose orientation is already consistent with the front orientation of the second touch screen 912, the mobile terminal does not need to control the rotation module to rotate any more, and only the rotation module whose orientation is not consistent with the front orientation of the second touch screen 912 may be controlled to rotate.

The mobile terminal may determine the current orientations of the first rotation module 951 and the second rotation module 259, and then determine which of the first rotation module 251 and the second rotation module 952 should be controlled to rotate, or determine whether the two modules do not need to be controlled to rotate, by using the determination methods described above.

In step 126, if the mobile terminal detects that the operation of triggering the originating call or the receiving call performed by the user is performed on the second touch screen 912, so as to determine that the second touch screen 912 is the target screen, according to a default setting corresponding to the event of "performing the operation on the second touch screen 912", the second receiver corresponding to the second receiver sound output hole 942 shown in fig. 14 is set to output sound, and the first receiver corresponding to the first receiver sound output hole 941 does not operate, and in addition, the second microphone 912 shown in fig. 14 is set as a noise reduction microphone, and the first microphone 911 is set as a voice microphone.

By adopting the method provided by the embodiment 5 of the present invention, when a user makes a call or answers a call by using a mobile terminal with a dual-sided touch screen, the mobile terminal can automatically rotate a receiver and a microphone to one side facing the face of the user according to the operation of the user, so that no matter which side of the touch screen the user performs the operation of triggering the mobile terminal to make a call or answer a call, the user can directly paste the side on the face for a call after performing the operation, thereby ensuring good user experience.

Example 6

Embodiment 6 is also applicable to a mobile terminal as shown in fig. 9. For descriptions of some components provided by the mobile terminal, reference may be made to embodiment 5, which is not described herein again.

As can be seen from the foregoing description of embodiment 5, in embodiment 5, the mobile terminal sets the receiver to be out of tone or not to be operated, and sets the microphone to be the noise reduction microphone or the voice microphone, according to the default setting corresponding to the event.

Unlike embodiment 5, in embodiment 6, in view of ensuring the accuracy of the setting result of the operating modes of the microphone and the receiver, a scheme for setting the operating modes of the microphone and the receiver based on the output of the detecting head of the infrared sensor is proposed.

Still taking the scenario that the user triggers the mobile terminal to initiate a call or answer a call as an example in embodiment 5, after

steps

121 and 122 are sequentially executed, if it is determined that the operation of triggering the initiation of the call or answering the call executed by the user is performed on the first touch screen 911, step 123 is executed. Then, the following scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention is adopted:

after the orientations of the detecting head 931 and the first receiver sound outlet 941 of the first infrared sensor disposed on the first rotating module 951 and the orientations of the detecting head 932 and the second receiver sound outlet 942 of the second infrared sensor disposed on the second rotating module 952 are made to coincide with the front orientation of the first touch screen 911 by performing step 123, the mobile terminal obtains the infrared radiation intensity values detected by the detecting head 931 and the detecting head 932 of the first infrared sensor, respectively.

The mobile terminal compares the magnitude relationship between the infrared radiation intensity value (referred to as intensity value 1) detected by the detection head 931 of the first infrared sensor and the infrared radiation intensity value (referred to as intensity value 2) detected by the detection head 932 of the second infrared sensor. If the intensity value 1> the intensity value 2, the mobile terminal sets a receiver near a detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor (i.e., a receiver corresponding to a first receiver sound outlet 941) as a sound outlet, and sets a microphone near the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor (i.e., a first microphone 911) as a noise reduction microphone; the receiver farther from the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor (i.e., the receiver corresponding to the sound outlet 942 of the second receiver) is set to be inoperative, and the microphone farther from the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor (i.e., the second microphone 912) is set to be a voice microphone.

Further, if the infrared radiation intensity value detected by the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor increases to be greater than the preset intensity value threshold value, for example, the user brings the top end portion of the mobile terminal where the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor is located close to a human face, so as to hear the sound of the other party clearly from the sound outlet 941 of the first receiver during the call, the mobile terminal may control the backlight of the touch screen (which may be the first touch screen 911, or the first touch screen 911 and the second touch screen 912) to go off, so that the electric energy of the mobile terminal is saved when the user does not need to view the touch screen.

Of course, the mobile terminal compares the magnitude relationship between the intensity value 1 and the intensity value 2, and may also obtain a comparison result of the intensity value 1< the intensity value 2. In such a case, the mobile terminal may set the receiver near the detecting head 932 of the second infrared sensor (i.e., the receiver corresponding to the second receiver sound output hole 942) as a sound output, and set the microphone near the detecting head 932 of the second infrared sensor (i.e., the second microphone 912) as a noise reduction microphone; in addition, the receiver (i.e., the receiver corresponding to the sound output hole 941) far from the detecting head 932 of the second infrared sensor is set to be inoperative, and the microphone (i.e., the first microphone 911) far from the detecting head 232 of the second infrared sensor is set to be a voice microphone.

Still taking the scenario of the user triggering the mobile terminal to initiate a call or receive a call as described in embodiment 5 as an example, after

steps

121 and 122 are sequentially performed, if it is determined that the operation of triggering the mobile terminal to initiate a call or receive a call performed by the user is performed on the second touch screen 912, step 124 is performed. Then, the following scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention is adopted:

after the orientations of the detecting head 931 and the first receiver sound outlet 941 of the first infrared sensor disposed on the first rotating module 951 and the orientations of the detecting head 932 and the second receiver sound outlet 942 of the second infrared sensor disposed on the second rotating module 952 are both aligned with the front orientation of the second touch screen 912 by performing step 124, the mobile terminal acquires the infrared radiation intensity values detected by the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor and the detecting head 932 of the second infrared sensor, respectively.

The mobile terminal compares the magnitude relationship between the infrared radiation intensity value (referred to as intensity value 1) detected by the detection head 931 of the first infrared sensor and the infrared radiation intensity value (referred to as intensity value 2) detected by the detection head 932 of the second infrared sensor. If the intensity value is 1< intensity value 2, the mobile terminal sets the receiver near the detecting head 932 of the second infrared sensor (i.e., the receiver corresponding to the second receiver sound outlet 942) as a sound outlet, and sets the microphone near the detecting head 932 of the second infrared sensor (i.e., the second microphone 912) as a noise reduction microphone; in addition, the receiver (i.e., the receiver corresponding to the sound output hole 941) far away from the detecting head 932 of the second infrared sensor is set to be inoperative, and the microphone (i.e., the first microphone 911) far away from the detecting head 932 of the second infrared sensor is set to be a voice microphone.

Further, if the infrared radiation intensity value detected by the detecting head 932 of the second infrared sensor is increased to be greater than the threshold value of the preset intensity value, for example, the user brings the top end portion of the mobile terminal where the detecting head 932 of the second infrared sensor is located close to the face of the person, so as to hear the sound of the other party from the sound outlet 942 of the second receiver during the call, the mobile terminal may control the backlight of the touch screen, which may be the second touch screen 912, or the first touch screen 911 and the second touch screen 912), to be extinguished, so that the electric energy of the mobile terminal is saved under the condition that the user does not need to look up the touch screen.

Similarly, the mobile terminal compares the magnitude relationship between the intensity value 1 and the intensity value 2, and may also obtain a comparison result of the intensity value 1> the intensity value 2. In this case, the mobile terminal sets the receiver near the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor (i.e., the receiver corresponding to the first receiver sound outlet 941) as a sound outlet, and sets the microphone near the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor (i.e., the first microphone 911) as a noise reduction microphone; the receiver farther from the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor (i.e., the receiver corresponding to the sound outlet 942 of the second receiver) is set to be inoperative, and the microphone farther from the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor (i.e., the second microphone 912) is set to be a voice microphone.

By adopting the scheme provided by the embodiment 6 of the invention, the communication mode that which end of the mobile terminal is used for communication is accurately determined based on the detecting head of the infrared sensor, and the working modes of the sound outlet holes of the microphone and the receiver are set to be the working modes matched with the communication mode, so that when a user uses the mobile terminal with at least two touch screens for communication, the normal communication can be carried out without identifying the positions of the sound outlet holes of the microphone and the receiver, and the user can hold the mobile terminal randomly.

Therefore, for a mobile terminal with a double-sided touch screen, a user can flexibly use any one touch screen of the mobile terminal as the 'front side' of the mobile terminal to carry out a call, and can hold the mobile terminal in a mode of 'one end of the first rotating module 951 facing upwards' or 'one end of the second rotating module 952 facing upwards' at will during the call without influencing 'speaking' and 'listening' in normal calls, so that the freedom degree of the user for holding the mobile terminal to carry out the call in a very flexible mode is provided, and good user experience of the user using the mobile terminal with the double-sided touch screen is guaranteed.

It should be noted that the principle of the method provided in embodiment 6 of the present invention may also be applied to a mobile terminal having more than two touch screens, so that no matter which touch screen is used as the front side of the mobile terminal by a user, the direction of the rotation module may be triggered to rotate to be consistent with the direction of the front side of the touch screen, that is, the direction of the components (the sound outlet of the receiver and the detecting head of the infrared sensor) on the rotation module may rotate to be consistent with the direction of the front side of the touch screen, and the user is also supported to freely turn up any one of the upper and lower ends of the mobile terminal to perform a call, thereby ensuring that the user can obtain the same good experience when any one of the multiple touch screens is used as the front side of the mobile terminal.

Example 7

Embodiment 7 proposes a scheme for preventing the mobile terminal from controlling the backlight of the touch screen to turn off at an inappropriate time due to the user's mistaken touch on the basis of embodiment 6.

In embodiment 6, it is mentioned that a call mode in which a user uses a mobile terminal to make a call with its end facing upward may be accurately determined based on the infrared sensor, and the working modes of the sound output holes of the microphone and the receiver may be set to a working mode matching the call mode.

Considering that in the actual scenario where the user uses the mobile terminal, it may happen that: the mobile terminal controls the backlight lamp to be turned off due to the fact that the finger of the user touches the infrared sensor probe by mistake, however, the user may want to check the number of the incoming call at the moment and needs the backlight lamp to be in a lighting state. Therefore, in order to avoid that the backlight is turned off at an inappropriate timing by a user's mistaken touch in such a situation or the like, embodiment 7 of the present invention proposes the following scheme for avoiding this problem:

firstly, setting a touch screen area threshold value S0 in the mobile terminal;

continuing with the contents of example 6, the following steps are described:

assuming that the mobile terminal controls the orientations of the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor and the sound outlet 941 of the first receiver disposed on the first rotating module 951 and the orientations of the detecting head 932 of the second infrared sensor and the sound outlet 942 disposed on the second rotating module 952 to be consistent with the front orientation of the first touch screen 911, obtaining a strength value 1 detected by the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor and a strength value 2 detected by the detecting head 932 of the second infrared sensor, and comparing the obtained strength values to obtain a strength value 1> 2, so as to set the receiver near the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor (i.e. the receiver corresponding to the sound outlet 941 of the first receiver) as a sound outlet and set the microphone near the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor (i.e. the first microphone 911) as a noise reduction microphone; the receiver farther from the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor (i.e., the receiver corresponding to the sound outlet 942 of the second receiver) is set to be inoperative, and the microphone farther from the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor (i.e., the second microphone 912) is set to be a voice microphone.

Further, if the infrared radiation intensity value detected by the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor increases to be greater than the threshold value of the preset intensity value, for example, the user brings the top end portion of the mobile terminal where the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor is located close to the face of the person, so as to hear the sound of the other party clearly from the sound outlet 941 of the first receiver during the call, the mobile terminal further determines whether the multi-point contact operation is detected currently, instead of directly controlling the backlight of the touch screen to go off as in embodiment 6.

Based on the detection of the multi-point touch operation occurring on the first touch screen 911, if the multi-point touch operation is detected, further determining the area of the touch screen region on which the multi-point touch operation acts (assuming that the area is S); comparing the size relation between the S and a preset touch screen area threshold S0; if S is larger than or equal to S0, which indicates that it is very likely that the face of the user is already attached to the touch screen for conversation, the mobile terminal controls the backlight of the touch screen (which may be the first touch screen 911 or the first touch screen 911 and the second touch screen 912) to be turned off, so that the electric energy of the mobile terminal is saved under the condition that the user does not need to look up the touch screen; if S < S0, which indicates that there is a high possibility that a finger or the like of the user may mistakenly touch the probe head 931 of the first infrared sensor, exists, the mobile terminal keeps the on/off state of the backlight of the touch screen (which may be the first touch screen 911, or the first touch screen 911 and the second touch screen 912) unchanged.

In embodiment 7 of the present invention, in order to accurately control turning on and off of the touch screen, a screen turn-off distance threshold T1 and a screen turn-on distance threshold T2 may be set in the mobile terminal.

Based on the two thresholds, continuing with the above example, when the mobile terminal determines that the distance from the human face (or other part) to the first touch screen 911 is less than T1 based on the infrared radiation intensity value detected by the detection head 931 of the first infrared sensor, and further detects that the area S of the touch screen area where the multi-point touch operation on the first touch screen 911 is used is greater than or equal to S0, the backlight of the first touch screen 911 is controlled to be turned off, and in addition, the infrared radiation intensity value detected by the detection head 932 based on the second infrared sensor does not react.

Then, when the human face (or other part) is far away from the first touch screen 911, the mobile terminal determines that the distance from the human face (or other part) to the first touch screen 911 is greater than T2 based on the infrared radiation intensity value detected by the detecting head 931 of the first infrared sensor, and then controls to turn on the backlight of the first touch screen 911.

The method provided in embodiment 7 of the present invention is described above by taking the case where the rotation of the rotation module is aligned with the front face of the first touch screen 911 as an example. For how to avoid that the backlight of the second touch screen 912 is turned off at an inappropriate time due to the user mistakenly touching after the rotation of the rotation module is turned to have the same orientation as the front orientation of the second touch screen 912, the specific implementation manner is similar to the above method, and details are not repeated here.

By adopting the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, whether the backlight is controlled to be turned off or not can be accurately judged based on the size relation between the area of the touch screen area acted by the multi-point contact operation and the preset touch screen area threshold, so that the problem that the backlight is turned off at an improper time because a user mistakenly touches an infrared sensor probe is avoided.

Example 8

When a user enters a call state after a call (a call initiated by the user or a call answered by the user) is continued, it is also possible to switch from a call with one touch screen as the front side of the mobile terminal to a call with the other touch screen as the front side of the mobile terminal.

In order to enable the mobile terminal to accurately determine which touch screen is used as the front side of the mobile terminal for the current call of the user, so as to accurately control the rotation module to rotate to the correct orientation, in embodiment 8 of the present invention, two methods are provided for accurately controlling the rotation module to rotate to the correct orientation, which can be applied to the foregoing method embodiments in this case.

The first method for accurately controlling the rotation of the rotating module to the correct orientation is obtained by improving the method provided in embodiment 7, and the specific implementation process is as follows:

along with embodiment 7, it is assumed that the mobile terminal controls the orientations of the probe head 931 of the first infrared sensor and the first receiver sound outlet 941 provided on the first rotation module 951, and after the orientation of the detecting head 932 of the second infrared sensor and the orientation of the sound outlet 942 of the second receiver, both of which are disposed on the second rotating module 952, are consistent with the front orientation of the first touch screen 911, when the mobile terminal determines that the distance from the face (or other portion) to the first touch screen 911 is less than T1 based on the infrared radiation intensity value detected by the detection head 931 of the first infrared sensor, and further detects that the area S of the touch screen area used for the multi-point touch operation of the first touch screen 911 is greater than or equal to S0, the backlight of the first touch screen 911 is controlled to be turned off, and in addition, the intensity value of the infrared radiation detected by the detector head 932 based on the second infrared sensor does not react.

Subsequently, if the mobile terminal detects that the area S of the touch screen area used for the multi-point touch operation of the second touch screen 912 is greater than or equal to S0, the mobile terminal controls the first rotating module 951 and the second rotating module 952 to rotate, so that the orientations of the detection head 931 and the first receiver sound outlet 941 of the first infrared sensor disposed on the first rotating module 951 and the orientations of the detection head 932 and the second receiver sound outlet 942 of the second infrared sensor disposed on the second rotating module 952 are both consistent with the front orientation of the second touch screen 912.

Therefore, when the user switches from the front surface of the mobile terminal with the first touch screen 911 as the mobile terminal to the front surface of the mobile terminal with the second touch screen 912 as the mobile terminal in the call process, the mobile terminal can accurately know the situation, so that the rotating module is controlled to rotate to the direction consistent with the front direction of the second touch screen 912, the call of the user is not affected by a bad effect due to the improper direction of the rotating module, and the good call experience of the user is ensured.

Similarly, when the user switches from using the second touch screen 912 as the front surface of the mobile terminal to using the first touch screen 911 as the front surface of the mobile terminal during the call, the mobile terminal may also control the rotation module to rotate to the direction consistent with the front surface direction of the first touch screen 911 through the above similar steps, which is not described herein again.

Another specific implementation process of the method for accurately controlling the rotation of the rotating module to the correct orientation provided by embodiment 8 of the present invention is as follows:

the mobile terminal displays a 'screen cut' button control as shown in fig. 8 in a call interface displayed on a touch screen currently serving as the front of the mobile terminal;

the mobile terminal detects click operation executed by aiming at the 'screen-cut' button control;

if the click operation executed for the "screen-cut" button control is detected, the communication interface is switched to another touch screen for displaying, and the first rotating module 951 and the second rotating module 952 are controlled to rotate to the same orientation as the front orientation of the other touch screen.

By adopting the method, the manual switching of the touch screen serving as the front of the mobile terminal by a user can be realized, and the rotation of the rotating module is triggered to be consistent with the front of the other touch screen in orientation, so that the following effects are achieved: even if the user switches to the mode that the other side touch screen is used as the front face of the mobile terminal for conversation, the conversation of the user can not be affected due to the fact that the orientation of the rotating module is not appropriate, and good conversation experience of the user is guaranteed.

Optionally, if the two ends of the mobile terminal are respectively provided with the distance detectors; the second input is then:

and when the mobile terminal is in the first working state, the mobile terminal is close to the input.
