In the following, the electronic device and the key function implementing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention are further described, where the first function interface is an open key interface, the second function interface is an AI key interface, and the electronic device is a mobile phone.

Aiming at the technical problem, considering that the key function of the current mobile phone can not be adjusted to lead the user to only passively adapt to the key function, the scheme enables the current mobile phone with the AI key and the power key to be capable of customizing the key function through the hardware circuit design, and solves the problem that the user can not customize the key function of the power key.

Specifically, the scheme can realize the function exchange of the AI key and the power key through circuit design and user-defined setting, and after the exchange, the mobile phone can remember the setting of the user, and after the mobile phone is restarted, the setting of the user can be kept; particularly, after the power key is set, the power key may be changed with the setting.

The following specifically exemplifies the scheme provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, one:

(1) the hardware part of this example is shown in fig. 3:

①, SW1 (i.e. the first key) and SW2 (i.e. the second key) respectively represent the side keys at the left and right sides of the mobile phone, the two keys are connected with the opening key interface of the mobile phone when being connected with GPIO (general purpose input/output) interfaces of the mobile phone (two different GPIO interfaces are respectively connected with GPIO1 and GPIO2), and the mobile phone can be opened when any one key is pressed in the off state.

②, SW1 and SW2 are connected to GPIO1 and GPIO2 of the mobile phone, and the mobile phone can acquire which key of SW1 or SW2 is pressed by acquiring the states of GPIO1 and GPIO 2.

The AP may be connected to a battery, which is not limited herein.

(2) The software portion of this example is shown in fig. 4, and includes:

step 41: in the power-on state of the mobile phone, a key press event of a user is detected through the GPIO1 and the GPIO2 connected with the SW1 and the SW 2.

Step 42: and querying the key functions corresponding to SW1 and SW2 set by the user through software.

Step 43: and carrying out corresponding response according to the key function definition set by the user, namely an AI function key, a screen on/off function or a power-off function.

When the user needs to change the key function definition, the mobile phone only needs to record the key function definition of the user again, which is not described in detail here. The key function definition may be stored in an AP (processor), but is not limited thereto.

In this example, when the mobile phone is powered off, the power-on operation is executed no matter which key is pressed, and after the mobile phone is powered on, the corresponding key function can be determined and executed by identifying the GPIO port corresponding to the pressed key.

The scheme of the example does not increase any cost on hardware, and the switching function defined by the side key function of the mobile phone can be completed only by setting on software by a user.

Example two:

(1) the hardware part of this example is shown in fig. 5:

different from the first example, the second example realizes the function definition switching of the side keys of the mobile phone by arranging an external (independent from the AP, i.e. the CPU) storage control unit and an analog switch.

The side keys SW1 (i.e. the first key) and SW2 (i.e. the second key) of the mobile phone are respectively connected with the input end of the analog switch, and the output end of the analog switch is connected with the on-key interface and the AI key interface of the mobile phone AP. The analog switch is controlled by an external storage control unit independent of the mobile phone AP, and the control end of the analog switch is connected with the output end of the storage control unit. Finally, the mobile phone AP may control the external storage control unit through a communication protocol such as IIC (serial communication bus). The communication port of the AP may be connected to an input of the memory control unit.

(2) Software part of this example:

since the analog switch is adopted to map the key signal, that is, SW1 and SW2 can be mapped to the interface of the power key and the AI key of the mobile phone AP at will, there is no difference between the key response and the normal situation that the side key is directly connected to the mobile phone AP, and the details are not described here.

The second embodiment is that when the user changes the side key function definition, the software flow is greatly different from the first embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, and includes:

step 61: a user sends a requirement for self-defining the function definition of the side key;

step 62: when receiving a requirement for changing the key function definition of the side by a user, the mobile phone AP writes the key function definition changed by the user into the external storage control unit through the IIC and other communication protocols.

And step 63: the external storage control unit can control the input and output corresponding relation of the analog switch in real time. And after receiving the requirement for changing the key function definition of the mobile phone AP. The external storage control unit can immediately switch the input and output corresponding relation of the analog switch, and the self-defining function of the side key function is realized.

Further, if the user desires not only to switch the AI key or the power key but also to shield the AI key function, only the power key function is retained, or both the left and right keys are set to the power key function. The second example can be implemented by controlling the external storage control unit through the mobile phone AP so as to control the input/output corresponding relationship of the analog switch, and the detailed operation scheme is different from the switching side key function definition, which is not described herein again.

In this example scenario, user-defined or default may be: which is the power-on key in the power-off state, or both the power-on key and the power-off key; and which key corresponds to which function in the power-on state, etc., and is not limited herein.

In the scheme of the example, the side key function definition is realized through the external storage control unit and the analog switch, and the complete switching of the key function definition can be realized. After the user changes the power key, the power key can also take effect in the power-off state; moreover, as the key function definition is actually stored in the external storage control unit, the mobile phone AP only plays a control role when the user changes the setting; therefore, after the user sets the key function, the setting is not changed even if the mobile phone is upgraded and the parameters are cleared.

Example three:

(1) for the existing hidden key technology, the hardware part of the third example is shown in fig. 7:

the currently common scheme of the hidden key is to sense an external excitation signal through a sensor, wherein the excitation signal can be pressure, capacitance, contact area and the like; then the signal of the sensor is processed through a sub-control system circuit (namely the control sub-circuit), logic judgment is carried out, and finally the key reporting function is completed to the AP through the GPIO (output end) of the sub-system control circuit. For the mobile phone AP, the key reporting mode of the hidden key and the common entity key is completely the same, and special treatment is not needed.

When the hidden key technology is adopted as the power key, a sub-control system circuit is required to independently process the signal sensed by the sensor and complete the key reporting function. The subsystem control circuit is generally an MCU (micro controller unit) with memory capability, so this scheme can also fulfill the requirement of key function definition.

The first key and the second key take a power key and an AI key as examples, and specifically: the first key may be a power key or an AI key, and the second key may be an AI key or a power key, which is not limited herein;

the Sensor takes power key Sensor and AI key Sensor as examples; the power key sensor and the AI key sensor are respectively connected with the input end of the sub-control system circuit; the output end of the sub-control system circuit is respectively connected with the start-up key interface and the AI key interface of the AP; the communication port of the AP is connected with the control end of the sub-control system circuit, and the AP can send the setting information to the control circuit through the communication port. The sub-control system circuit and the AP may be connected to a battery, respectively, and are not limited herein.

(2) The software portion of this example is shown in fig. 8, and includes:

step 81: a user sends a requirement for changing the side key function definition;

step 82: the mobile phone AP sends the setting information input by the user to the subsystem control circuit of the hidden key through a protocol;

step 83: and the subsystem control circuit changes GPIO output signals corresponding to the power key and the AI key.

Specifically, assume that the original power key corresponds to GPIO1 in the sub-control system circuit, and the AI key corresponds to GPIO 2; and the user needs to exchange the power key and the AI key function through setting, after the AP sends the change information (setting information) to the sub-control system circuit through the protocol, the sub-control system circuit directly changes the power key to the GPIO2 and changes the AI key to the GPIO1, and then the requirement of the user for exchanging the power key and the AI key function can be completed.

Further, if the user wants to not only switch the AI key or the power key but also shield the AI key function, only the power key function is retained, or both the left and right keys are set to the power key function. This third example can be realized through the GPIO port that power key and AI key correspond in the mobile phone AP control outside sub-control system circuit, and the detailed operation scheme is different from the switch side key function definition, and is not repeated here.
