Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present concepts related in a concrete fashion.

In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "a plurality" means two or more, for example, a plurality of elements means two or more elements, and the like.

Some of the nouns or terms referred to in the claims and the specification of the present application will be explained first.

Preview pictures collected by the camera: the preview picture acquired by the camera currently started by the terminal device is also the picture displayed by the camera preview interface.

A camera preview interface: i.e. the preview interface of the camera application. The method refers to an interface displayed by the terminal equipment when a camera application program in the terminal equipment runs in the foreground of the terminal equipment.

And the Navigation Bar (Navigation Bar) is a shortcut button Bar of the screen of the terminal equipment. Generally, the navigation bar appears in the peripheral area of the screen of the mobile phone in the form of virtual keys (for example, it may be located in the top area of the screen, or in the bottom area of the screen, or in the left area of the screen, or in the right area of the screen). The shortcut buttons of the terminal device screen may generally include a back button (back), a home button (home), and recently used buttons (entries).

Digging a hole screen: also known as a drill screen. The method is characterized in that a hole is dug in a screen of the terminal equipment to expose the front camera arranged at the hole, so that the screen occupation ratio of the terminal equipment can be improved on the premise of not sacrificing the photographing effect of the front camera.

The terminal device provided with the hole digging screen can comprise a display layer and a touch layer, and the hole digging screen can be punched in two modes (namely, the following mode I and mode II).

The first method is to punch through both the display layer of the screen and the touch layer of the screen. In this case, the punched area of the screen cannot normally display the content, nor can it normally respond to the touch input of the user.

And in the second mode, the display layer of the screen is punched through, and the touch layer of the screen is reserved. In this case, although the punched area of the screen cannot normally display the content, the touch layer is retained, so that the touch input of the user can be normally responded.

It should be noted that the hole digging screen in the embodiment of the present invention may be implemented in the above-mentioned manner two.

The embodiment of the invention provides a control method and terminal equipment, wherein the terminal equipment can receive first input of a user in a target area (an area which is on a screen of the terminal equipment and corresponds to a first camera positioned below the screen of the terminal equipment); and may perform a first action corresponding to the first input in response to the first input; wherein the target area can be located in a navigation bar of the terminal device. Then, when the user requires the terminal device to perform a certain action, for example, a first action, the user may perform a first input corresponding to the first action in the target area to trigger the terminal device to directly perform the first action. Therefore, on the basis of improving the screen occupation ratio of the terminal equipment, the use reliability and the service life of the terminal equipment can be ensured, the process of executing a certain action by the terminal equipment can be simplified, and the man-machine interaction performance is improved.

The terminal device in the embodiment of the present invention may be a terminal device having an operating system. The operating system may be an Android (Android) operating system, an ios operating system, or other possible operating systems, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited in particular.

The following takes an android operating system as an example to describe a software environment to which the control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a possible android operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the android operating system includes 4 layers, which are respectively: an application layer, an application framework layer, a system runtime layer, and a kernel layer (specifically, a Linux kernel layer).

The application program layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third-party application programs) in an android operating system.

The application framework layer is a framework of the application, and a developer can develop some applications based on the application framework layer under the condition of complying with the development principle of the framework of the application.

The system runtime layer includes libraries (also called system libraries) and android operating system runtime environments. The library mainly provides various resources required by the android operating system. The android operating system running environment is used for providing a software environment for the android operating system.

The kernel layer is an operating system layer of an android operating system and belongs to the bottommost layer of an android operating system software layer. The kernel layer provides kernel system services and hardware-related drivers for the android operating system based on the Linux kernel.

Taking an android operating system as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the android operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the interface control method may operate based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. Namely, the processor or the terminal device can implement the control method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The terminal equipment in the embodiment of the invention can be a mobile terminal or a non-mobile terminal. For example, the mobile terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm top computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like, and the non-mobile terminal may be a Personal Computer (PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine, a self-service machine, and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited in particular.

The execution main body of the control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be the terminal device, or may also be a functional module and/or a functional entity capable of implementing the control method in the terminal device, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. The following takes a terminal device as an example to exemplarily explain a control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment of the present invention, in a case that a camera is disposed below an area in a screen of a terminal device (for example, a target area in this embodiment of the present invention, the target area may be an area corresponding to a first camera located below the screen of the terminal device, and the target area may be located in a navigation bar), if a user needs the terminal device to perform a certain action related to the camera (for example, a first action in this embodiment of the present invention), the user may trigger the terminal device to directly display an action corresponding to an input through an input in the area (for example, the first input in this embodiment of the present invention), so as to trigger the terminal device to perform the action corresponding to the input. Therefore, on the basis of improving the screen occupation ratio of the terminal equipment, the use reliability and the service life of the terminal equipment can be ensured, the process of executing a certain action by the terminal equipment can be simplified, and the man-machine interaction performance is improved.

The following describes an exemplary control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method, which may include S201 and S202 described below.

The target area can be an area which is on a screen of the terminal device and corresponds to a first camera positioned below the screen of the terminal device, and the target area can be positioned on a navigation bar of the terminal device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the screen of the terminal device may be a hole-digging screen, and the screen may include a display layer and a touch layer. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, a target hole may be disposed at a position of the display layer corresponding to the target area, and the first camera may be disposed at the target hole.

It can be understood that the first camera located below the screen of the terminal device can be understood as a first camera located below the touch layer of the screen of the terminal device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the hole is only cut in the display layer (i.e., the target hole is disposed in the display layer) of the hole-cutting screen in the embodiment of the present invention, and the touch layer is not cut through, i.e., the display layer of the screen is cut through and the touch layer of the screen is reserved, the touch function of the target area can be ensured to be normally used while the first camera is exposed.

For the description of the digging screen, reference may be made to the description of the digging screen in the above noun explanation section, and details are not repeated here.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first camera may be a front camera of the terminal device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device may further include a second camera, and the second camera may be a rear camera of the terminal device.

For the description of the navigation bar, reference may be made to the related description of the navigation bar in the noun explanation section, and details are not repeated here.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the navigation bar of the terminal device may be located in any area of the screen of the terminal device. For example, the navigation bar may be located in a top area of the screen of the terminal device, or may be located in a bottom area of the screen of the terminal device, or may be located in a left area of the screen of the terminal device, or may be located in a right area of the screen of the terminal device, which may be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, because the target area is located on the navigation bar of the terminal device, and the target area is an area on the screen of the terminal device and corresponding to the first camera below the screen of the terminal device, that is, the first camera is disposed below the target area in the navigation bar of the terminal device, and does not occupy an effective display area of the screen of the terminal device and does not need to stretch, on the basis of increasing the screen occupation ratio of the terminal device, the front camera (for example, the first camera in the embodiment of the present invention) of the terminal device is prevented from stretching, so that the use reliability and the service life of the terminal device can be increased.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the target area may be any area in the navigation bar.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first input may be any possible form of input, such as click input, long-press input, re-press input, drag input, slide input, and the like, which may be determined specifically according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

The click input may be input by clicking a first preset number of times. The long press input may be an input contacting for a first preset duration. The above-mentioned heavy-pressing input is also referred to as a pressure touch input, and refers to an input that a user presses at a pressure value greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold value. The drag input may be an input of dragging in an arbitrary direction. The slide input may be an input to slide in a first direction.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the first predetermined number of times may be two or more times. The first preset time, the first pressure threshold, and the first direction may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

S202, the terminal equipment responds to the first input and executes a first action corresponding to the first input.

The first action may be an action related to the first camera.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the action related to the first camera may be understood as performing an opening action on an object related to the first camera.

It is understood that the object associated with the first camera may include: a first camera, a second camera, a camera application, a gallery application, and so forth. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first action may include any one of: and opening the first camera and displaying the preview picture acquired by the first camera, opening the second camera and displaying the preview picture acquired by the second camera, and displaying the interface of the gallery application program.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device displays the preview picture acquired by the first camera, that is, the terminal device displays the preview picture acquired by the front camera of the terminal device; for example, while the terminal device opens the first camera, the camera application may be run in the foreground of the terminal device, and a preview screen captured by the first camera may be displayed in a camera preview interface (i.e., a preview interface of the camera application). The terminal equipment displays a preview picture acquired by the second camera, namely the terminal equipment displays the preview picture acquired by the rear camera of the terminal equipment; for example, while the terminal device opens the second camera, the terminal device may run a camera application in the foreground of the terminal device, and display a preview screen captured by the second camera in a camera preview interface (i.e., a preview interface of the camera application).

For the descriptions of the preview picture acquired by the first camera, the preview picture acquired by the second camera, and the camera preview interface, reference may be made specifically to the description of the preview picture acquired by the camera in the above noun explanation section, which is not described herein again.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the interface of the gallery application program may be any one interface in the gallery application program.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first input is different, and the first action performed by the terminal device after responding to the first input may also be different. That is, the user can trigger the terminal device to execute different first actions through different first inputs.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, a specific first input may not be limited to trigger the terminal device to execute a certain determined first action; only one specific first action needs to be uniquely corresponding to each specific first input. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

The correspondence of the first input to the first action is exemplarily described below in three possible implementations, respectively.

In a possible implementation manner, if the user needs to use the first camera, the user may click on the target area (that is, the first input is a click input), so that the terminal device may respond to the click input, open the first camera, and display a preview picture acquired by the first camera.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of clicks of the click input may be two or more. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal device displays any interface, the terminal device may respond to the click input, start the first camera, and display a preview picture acquired by the first camera.

Specifically, under the condition that the terminal device displays any interface, the user may click on the target area (the click times are two or more), that is, the terminal device receives the first input of the user, and then the terminal device may determine whether the current interface displayed by the terminal device is the camera preview interface. If the current interface is not the camera preview interface, the terminal device can run a camera application program in the foreground of the terminal device and open the first camera, so that the terminal device can display the camera preview interface and display a preview picture acquired by the first camera in the camera preview interface. If the current interface is a camera preview interface, the terminal device can further determine whether a preview picture acquired by the first camera is displayed in the camera preview interface; if the preview picture acquired by the first camera is displayed in the camera preview interface, the terminal equipment can keep starting the first camera and keep displaying the preview picture acquired by the first camera; if the preview picture collected by the second camera is displayed in the camera preview interface, the terminal equipment can close the second camera and open the first camera, and then the terminal equipment can display the preview picture collected by the first camera.

For example, in a possible implementation manner, assuming that the currently displayed interface of the terminal device is the interface of the chat application, the first input is a double-click input, and the navigation field is located in the bottom area of the screen of the terminal device, then, as shown in (a) in fig. 3, the terminal device displays the interface 30 of the chat application and the navigation bar 31, wherein the navigation bar 31 is located in the bottom area of the screen of the terminal device, and the target area 32 is located in the navigation bar 31. Then, the user may double-click on the target area 32, that is, the terminal device receives the first input of the user, so that the terminal device may respond to the first input, as shown in (b) of fig. 3, and the terminal device may display a camera preview interface and display a preview screen 33 captured by the first camera in the camera preview interface (that is, the terminal device turns on the first camera and displays the preview screen captured by the first camera).

In the embodiment of the invention, because a user can directly trigger the terminal device to start the first camera and display the preview picture acquired by the first camera through the first input in the target area, the user does not need to trigger the terminal device to display the preview picture acquired by the first camera through a plurality of inputs (for example, firstly searching for an identifier indicating a camera application program, then triggering the terminal device to display a preview interface of the camera application program according to the identifier input, and switching the identifier input to the camera in the camera preview interface); therefore, the operation process of starting the first camera and displaying the preview picture acquired by the first camera can be simplified, and the man-machine interaction performance is improved.

In another possible implementation manner, if the user needs to use the second camera, the user may press the target area for a long time (that is, the first input is a long-press input), so that the terminal device may open the second camera and display a preview picture acquired by the second camera in response to the long-press input.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal device displays any interface, the terminal device may respond to the long press input, start the second camera, and display a preview picture acquired by the second camera.

Specifically, under the condition that the terminal device displays any interface, the user may press for a long time in the target area, that is, the terminal device receives the first input of the user, and then the terminal device may determine whether the current interface displayed by the terminal device is the camera preview interface. If the current interface is not the camera preview interface, the terminal device may first run the camera application program on the foreground of the terminal device and start the second camera, so that the terminal device may display the camera preview interface and display a preview picture acquired by the second camera in the camera preview interface. If the current interface is a camera preview interface, the terminal device can further determine whether a preview picture acquired by the second camera is displayed in the camera preview interface; if the preview picture acquired by the second camera is displayed in the camera preview interface, the terminal equipment can continuously start the second camera and display the preview picture acquired by the second camera; if the preview picture collected by the first camera is displayed in the camera preview interface, the terminal equipment can close the first camera and open the second camera, so that the terminal equipment can display the preview image collected by the second camera.

For example, in another possible implementation manner, assuming that the currently displayed interface of the terminal device is the interface of the chat application, the first input is a long press input, and the navigation bar is located in the bottom area of the screen of the terminal device, then, as shown in (a) in fig. 4, the terminal device displays the interface 40 and the navigation bar 41 of the chat application, and the target area 42 is located in the navigation bar 41. Then, the user may long-press in the target area 42, that is, the terminal device receives the first input of the user, so that the terminal device may respond to the first input, as shown in (b) of fig. 4, and the terminal device may display a camera preview interface and display a preview screen 43 captured by the second camera in the camera preview interface (that is, the terminal device turns on the second camera and displays the preview screen captured by the second camera).

In the embodiment of the invention, because a user can directly trigger the terminal equipment to start the second camera and display the preview picture acquired by the second camera through the first input in the target area, the user does not need to trigger the terminal equipment to display the preview picture acquired by the first camera through a plurality of inputs (for example, firstly searching for an identifier indicating a camera application program, then triggering the terminal equipment to display a preview interface of the camera application program according to the identifier input, and switching the identifier input to the camera in the camera preview interface); therefore, the operation process of starting the second camera and displaying the preview picture acquired by the second camera can be simplified, and the man-machine interaction performance is improved.

In yet another possible implementation manner, if the user needs to view the gallery application, the user may slide (i.e., the first input is a slide input) the input in the target area, so that the terminal device may display the interface of the gallery application in response to the slide input.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal device displays any interface, the terminal device may respond to the sliding input to display the interface of the gallery application program.

Specifically, in the case that the terminal device displays any interface, the user may slide in the target area (for example, slide to the left), that is, the terminal device receives the first input of the user, and then the terminal device may determine whether the current interface displayed by the terminal device is the interface of the gallery application program. If the current interface is not the interface of the gallery application program, the terminal device can run the gallery application program in the foreground of the terminal device and display the interface of the gallery application program. If the current interface is the interface of the gallery application program, the terminal device can keep running the gallery application program in the foreground of the terminal device and display the interface of the gallery application program.

For example, in another possible implementation manner, assuming that the currently displayed interface of the terminal device is an interface of a chat application, the gallery application is a gallery application, the first input is a long press input, and the navigation bar is located in the bottom area of the screen of the terminal device, as shown in (a) in fig. 5, the terminal device displays an interface 50 of the chat application and a navigation bar 51, the target area 52 is located in the navigation bar 51, and the user can slide to the left in the target area 52, that is, the terminal device receives the first input of the user, so that the terminal device can respond to the first input, as shown in (b) in fig. 5, and the terminal device can display an interface 53 of the gallery application.

In the embodiment of the invention, because the user can directly trigger the terminal device to display the picture of the gallery application program through the first input in the target area, the user does not need to search the identifier (for example, the application icon of the gallery application program) indicating the gallery application program and then input the identifier to trigger the terminal device to display the picture of the gallery application program. Therefore, the operation process of opening the interface for displaying the gallery application program can be simplified, and the man-machine interaction performance is improved.

It is understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first action corresponding to each first input described in the above three possible implementations is an exemplary enumeration and does not set any limit to the embodiment of the present invention. In practical implementation, when the first input is a click input and the number of clicks is two or more, and the terminal device responds to the click input, the terminal device may also start the second camera and display a preview picture acquired by the second camera; or, when the first input is long-press input of the user in the target area, the terminal device may also display an interface of the gallery application program after responding to the long-press input; or, when the first input is a sliding input of the user in the target area and the sliding direction is leftward sliding, after the end device responds to the sliding input, the end device may also start the first camera and display a preview picture acquired by the first camera.

In the embodiment of the invention, when the current interface of the terminal equipment is any interface, a user can input in the target area, the terminal equipment is triggered to directly execute the first action corresponding to the input, the terminal equipment does not need to be triggered to return to the desktop first, and then the identifier for indicating the action is searched on the desktop, so that the action convenience of the terminal equipment can be improved, and the human-computer interaction performance can be improved.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the navigation bar may include at least one virtual key, the target area may be an area where the target virtual key is located, and the target virtual key may be a virtual key in the at least one virtual key.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the area where the target virtual key is located may be an area for displaying the target virtual key in a screen of the terminal device, may also be a peripheral area (for example, an annular area surrounding the target virtual key) of the area for displaying the target virtual key in the screen of the terminal device, and may also be an area formed by the area for displaying the target virtual key and the peripheral area of the area in the screen of the terminal device, which may specifically be determined according to an actual use requirement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, each of the at least one virtual key may be any one of the following: return button, home button, last used button. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, each of the at least one virtual key is different.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the target virtual key may be any one of the at least one virtual key, for example, the target virtual key may be a return key, a home key, or a recently used key. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

In the embodiment of the invention, the first camera can be arranged in the area where the target virtual key is located, so that the screen occupation ratio of the terminal equipment can be further improved on the basis of ensuring the normal use of the first camera and the target virtual key.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, a target identifier is displayed in another area of the target area except the first area, the target identifier may be used to indicate a target virtual key, and the first area may be a projection area of the first camera on the screen of the terminal device. The terminal equipment screen is the screen of the terminal equipment; the projection area of the first camera on the screen of the terminal device can be understood as the orthographic projection area of the first camera on the screen of the terminal device.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the target area may include a first area and a second area (i.e., other areas of the target area except for the first area). The first region may be located at the center of the target region and the second region may be located outside the first region. So that the target identification can be displayed outside the first camera. Therefore, visually, the first camera forms an identifier on the surface of the screen together with the target identifier, so that the first camera can be prevented from influencing the display effect of the screen.
