Fig. 1 and fig. 2 are schematic structural diagrams of a structure and internal logic of a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The terminal device comprises lateral pressure keys 11, 12 and 13, a touch sensor 14, insulation break points 101 and 102, a capacitance processing module 19 and a pressure detection module 18, wherein:
lateral pressure keys 11, 12 and 13 are provided inside the frame of the terminal device;
the insulation break points 101 and 102 are arranged at two ends of a projection area of the lateral pressure keys 11, 12 and 13 on a frame of the terminal equipment, and a metal frame 14 cut by the insulation break points 101 and 102 on the frame is used for detecting capacitance change values generated when the lateral pressure keys 11, 12 or 13 are touched;
The metal frame 14 is connected with a capacitance processing module 19, the capacitance processing module 19 is connected with a pressure detection module 18, and the capacitance processing module 19 is used for triggering the pressure detection module 18 to detect the pressure value generated when the lateral pressure keys 11, 12 and 13 are touched when the capacitance change value detected by the metal frame 17 is greater than or equal to a preset triggering threshold value.
Alternatively, the lateral pressure keys 11, 12 and 13 may be specifically hidden lateral pressure keys in order not to affect the streamlined appearance of the terminal device, giving the user a better visual experience.
It should be understood that, in order to be able to fully detect whether the lateral pressure keys 11, 12, and 13 are touched, the projected area of the metal bezel 14 on the bezel, taken at the insulating break points 101 and 102, should be greater than or equal to the projected area of the lateral pressure keys 11, 12, and 13 on the bezel.
Alternatively, when the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 is touched through the metal bezel 14, if the touch force is insufficient, that is, the pressure value generated when the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 is touched is small, there may be a case that the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 is touched by mistake. In this case, in order to avoid the side pressure key 11, 12 or 13 being touched by mistake, the terminal device provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include a central processing unit 17, and the pressure detection module 18 is connected to the central processing unit 17.
The pressure detection module 18 is configured to detect a pressure value generated when the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 is touched, and when the pressure detection module 18 detects that the pressure value generated when the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 is touched is greater than or equal to a preset pressure threshold, the pressure detection module 18 sends a signal that the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 is touched to the central processing unit 17, and the central processing unit 17 is configured to determine and process a corresponding key event based on the signal that the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 is touched.

Optionally, in order for the capacitance processing module 19 to send the capacitance change value detected by the metal frame 14 to the pressure detection module 18, the capacitance processing module 19 in the embodiment of the present invention may be specifically connected to the pressure detection module 18 through a General-purpose input/output (GPIO) line; when the capacitance change value generated when the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 detected by the metal frame 14 is touched is greater than or equal to a preset trigger threshold, the capacitance processing module 19 may send a signal that the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 is touched to the pressure detection module 18 through a GPIO line, so as to trigger the pressure detection module 18 to detect the pressure value generated when the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 is touched.
Optionally, in order to make the pressure detection module re-perform the standby state when the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 stops being touched, so as to detect the pressure value generated when the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 is touched again, the touch sensor 14 in the embodiment of the present invention may also send a signal carrying the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 to the pressure detection module 18 through the GPIO line when detecting that the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 stops being touched, so that the pressure detection module 18 re-performs the standby state.
Optionally, in order to facilitate the central processor 17 to timely acquire the signal that the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 stops being touched, the pressure detection module 18 may also send the signal that the lateral pressure key 11, 12 or 13 stops being touched to the central processor 17.
Optionally, in order to facilitate the user to perform quick operations such as volume up-down and on-off on the terminal device, the lateral pressure keys in the embodiment of the present invention may include a first key 11, a second key 12, and a third key 13 according to an up-down arrangement, where the first key 11 may be a volume up key, the second key 12 may be a volume down key 12, and the third key 13 may be a power key 13. The insulation break points shown in fig. 1 may specifically include a first insulation break point 101 and a second insulation break point 102, where the first insulation break point 101 is disposed at an upper end of a projection area of the first key 11 on the frame, and the second insulation break point 102 is disposed at a lower end of a projection area of the third key 13 on the frame.
Alternatively, in order to more accurately detect which specific key of the first key 11, the second key 12, and the third key 13 is touched, the number of insulation break points in the embodiment of the present invention may be four.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, a schematic structural diagram of another terminal device and a schematic structural diagram of internal logic according to an embodiment of the present invention are shown. Specifically, the insulation break points shown in fig. 3 may further include a third insulation break point 103 and a fourth insulation break point 103, and then the metal frame obtained by cutting the four insulation break points includes: a first metal frame 21, a second metal frame 22 and a third metal frame 23; the first metal frame 21 is a metal frame cut by the first insulation break point 101 and the third insulation break point 103 on the frame, the second metal frame 22 is a metal frame cut by the third insulation break point 103 and the fourth insulation break point 104 on the frame, and the first metal frame 21 is a metal frame cut by the second insulation break point 102 and the fourth insulation break point 104 on the frame.

In order to facilitate the first metal frame 21, the second metal frame 22 and the third metal frame 23 to transmit the signals touched by the first key 11, the second key 12 and the third key 13 to the pressure detection module 18 when detecting that the capacitance change value is greater than or equal to the preset trigger threshold, the capacitance processing module 19 in the embodiment of the present invention includes three input pins and three output pins, where the three input pins are respectively connected with the first metal frame 21, the second metal frame 22 and the third metal frame 23, and the three output pins are respectively connected with the pressure detection module 18 through a first GPIO line (i.e. GPIO1 shown in fig. 4), a second GPIO line (i.e. GPIO2 shown in fig. 4) and a third GPIO line (i.e. GPIO3 shown in fig. 4).
Alternatively, in order to determine more accurately whether the first key 11, the second key 12, or the third key 13 is touched, the embodiment of the present invention may also detect the pressure values generated when the first key 11, the second key 12, and the third key 13 are touched, respectively.
Specifically, when the capacitance processing module 19 detects that the capacitance change value generated when the first metal frame 21 detects that the first key 11 is touched is greater than or equal to a preset trigger threshold, the capacitance processing module sends a signal that the first key 11 is touched to the pressure detection module 18 through the first GPIO line, so as to trigger the pressure detection module 18 to detect the pressure value generated when the first key 11 is touched;
When the capacitance processing module 19 detects that the capacitance change value generated when the second metal frame 22 detects that the second key 12 is touched is greater than or equal to a preset trigger threshold, a signal that the second key 12 is touched is sent to the pressure detection module 18 through a second GPIO line, so that the pressure detection module 18 is triggered to detect the pressure value generated when the second key 12 is touched;

In addition, in order to facilitate the user to distinguish the first key 11, the second key 12 and the third key 13, the four insulation break points in the embodiment of the present invention may be designed to be different colors, so as to assist the user in visually positioning the three keys, thereby avoiding the user from touching by mistake.

In order to solve the problem that in the prior art, a capacitive sensor needs to be additionally arranged on the side of the terminal equipment to detect whether the lateral pressure key is touched, the embodiment of the invention also provides a method for detecting the touch key, and an execution main body of the method can be but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a wearable device and the like, and can be configured to execute at least one of the user terminals provided by the embodiment of the invention.
For convenience of description, hereinafter, embodiments of the method will be described taking an execution body of the method as an example of a terminal device capable of executing the method. It will be appreciated that the subject of execution of the method is a terminal device which is merely an exemplary illustration and should not be construed as limiting the method.
Fig. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a specific implementation of a method for detecting a touch key according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to the terminal device described in fig. 1 to 4.
The following describes the implementation process of the method in detail with reference to the specific implementation flow chart of the method for detecting a touch key shown in fig. 5, where the implementation process includes:
step 501, detecting a capacitance value generated when a lateral pressure key is touched through a metal frame;
the lateral pressure key can be provided with three common keys according to the use habit of a user, and the three common keys comprise a first key, a second key and a third key, wherein the first key can be a volume increasing key, the second key can be a volume decreasing key and the third key can be a power key. It should be understood that, in order to facilitate the metal bezel to be able to detect that one or more of the three keys are touched, the insulation break point intercepting the metal bezel may be specifically disposed at both ends of the projection area of the lateral pressure key on the bezel of the terminal device.
Alternatively, the number of insulation break points for cutting the metal frame may be two or four. When the number of the insulation break points of the intercepted metal frame is 2, the number of the intercepted metal frame is 1, and the metal frame can be used for detecting capacitance change values generated when the first key, the second key or the third key is touched; when the number of the insulation break points of the intercepted metal frame is 4, the number of the intercepted metal frame is 3, and the intercepted metal frame can comprise a first metal frame, a second metal frame and a third metal frame. The first metal frame is used for detecting a capacitance change value generated when the first key is touched, the second metal frame is used for detecting a capacitance change value generated when the second key is touched, and the third metal frame is used for detecting a capacitance change value generated when the third key is touched.

when the number of the intercepted metal frames is 1, if the capacitance processing module determines that the capacitance change value detected by the metal frames is larger than or equal to a preset trigger threshold value, the pressure detection module can be triggered by the capacitance processing module to respectively detect the pressure values of the first key, the second key and the third key; when the number of the intercepted metal frames is 3, if the capacitance processing module determines that the capacitance change value detected by one or more metal frames in the three metal frames is greater than or equal to a preset trigger threshold value, the capacitance processing module can trigger the pressure detection module to detect the pressure value of the key corresponding to the capacitance value greater than or equal to the preset trigger threshold value.
When the number of the intercepted metal frames is 3, assuming that the capacitance processing module determines that the capacitance change value detected by the first metal frame is greater than or equal to a preset trigger threshold, the pressure detection module can be triggered by the capacitance processing module to detect the pressure value generated when the key (namely the first key) corresponding to the first metal frame is touched.
In step 503, if the pressure detection module determines that the pressure value is greater than or equal to the preset pressure threshold, the pressure detection module sends a signal that the lateral pressure key is touched to the central processing unit.
When the number of the intercepted metal frames is 1, if the pressure detection module determines that the pressure value of one key in the lateral pressure keys is greater than or equal to a preset pressure threshold value, a signal that the key is touched can be sent to the central processing unit through the pressure detection module; when the number of the intercepted metal frames is 3, if the pressure detection module determines that the pressure value of the key corresponding to a certain metal frame is greater than or equal to a preset pressure threshold value, a signal that the key is touched can be sent to the central processing unit through the pressure detection module.
