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.

In order to solve the problem that the electronic device cannot bring experience in touch sense to a user, the invention provides an electronic device of an embodiment, which comprises a touch sense component, wherein the touch sense component is arranged on the surface of the electronic device and comprises a dielectric layer and a conductive layer which are arranged in a superposition mode. In addition, the touch component also comprises a touch layer, and the touch layer, the conductive layer and the dielectric layer are arranged in an overlapping mode.

As an example, as shown in fig. 1, a conductive layer 102 is disposed on a touch layer 101, and a dielectric layer 103 is disposed on the conductive layer 102. The dielectric layer 103 is used to isolate the exterior (e.g., the user's finger 104) from direct contact with the conductive layer 102.

Based on the electronic device described above, the present invention provides a device control method of an embodiment. Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an apparatus control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the device control method includes:

s201, acquiring target information under the condition that the conductive layer is electrified and an electric field is formed between the dielectric layer and the target part of the user.

Referring to fig. 1, in the case where the electronic device supplies power to the conductive layer 102, an electric field is formed between the conductive layer 102 and the skin surface of the user's finger 104, so that an electrostatic attraction is formed between the conductive layer 102 and the user's finger 104. Since the dielectric layer 103 is located between the conductive layer 102 and the user's finger 104, an electric field is also formed between the dielectric layer 103 and the user's finger 104. Wherein the user's finger 104 is located above the dielectric layer 103, the user's finger 104 may or may not touch the dielectric layer 103. In the case where the user's finger 104 contacts the dielectric layer 103, the frictional force between the user's finger 104 and the dielectric layer 103 is changed due to the electrostatic attraction between the conductive layer 102 and the user's finger 104, resulting in "tactile sensation" in human-computer interaction. Of course, in the case where the user's finger 104 does not contact the dielectric layer 103, the user's finger 104 will also feel tactile due to the presence of electrostatic attraction.

The target information may include usage scenario information of the electronic device. For example, the usage scenario of the electronic device is a scenario in which the electronic device is performing a voice call or a scenario in which a predetermined application is running.

The target information may include user characteristic information. For example, the user characteristic information may include at least one of information on whether the user looks at a touch screen of the electronic device, a face detection result, and user age information.

Wherein, S202 includes: the magnitude of the electric field is adjusted by adjusting the current value of the conductive layer.

In the embodiment of the invention, under the condition that the electronic equipment supplies power to the conductive layer in the touch sensing component and forms an electric field between the dielectric layer and a target part of a user (such as a finger of the user), target information is acquired, and the size of the electric field is adjusted according to the target information. Whereby the strength of the tactile sensation of the user's target portion is changed. Therefore, the user has the touch sense change in the process of using the electronic equipment, and the interaction experience between the user and the electronic equipment is enriched.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the conductive layers include a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer, and the touch sensing assembly further includes an insulating layer, wherein the insulating layer is disposed on the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer is disposed on the insulating layer, and the dielectric layer is disposed on the second conductive layer; the target electric field magnitude includes a first target electric field magnitude and a second target electric field magnitude.

As an example, as shown in fig. 3, the touch sensing member includes a touch layer 101, a conductive layer 102-1, an insulating layer 105, a conductive layer 102-2, and a dielectric layer 103, which are sequentially stacked. The dielectric layer 103 primarily protects the conductive layer 102-1 and the conductive layer 102-2 and prevents a human hand from directly contacting the conductive layers. Insulating layer 105 serves to isolate conductive layer 102-1 from conductive layer 102-2. The material of the insulating layer 105 is not limited to a transparent organic or inorganic insulating material; the surface of the dielectric layer 103 may be protected by various surface treatments, such as: adding a hardening layer, and performing anti-fingerprint (AF) treatment. In fig. 3, the insulating layer 105, the conductive layer 102-1, the conductive layer 102-2, and the dielectric layer 103 are transparent layers. The dielectric layer 103 may comprise a transparent inorganic dielectric material or a transparent organic dielectric material.

Wherein, according to the size of the target electric field, the electric field formed between the dielectric layer and the user target part is controlled, including:

controlling an electric field formed between the dielectric layer and the user target portion in a first direction according to the first target electric field magnitude; and controlling an electric field formed between the dielectric layer and the user target portion in a second direction according to the second target electric field magnitude.

Referring to fig. 3, the conductive layer 102-1 and the conductive layer 102-2 are responsible for electrode driving in different axial directions, respectively, and the conductive layer 102-1 is responsible for electrode driving in the X-axis direction, so that the dielectric layer 103 and the user's finger 104 form an electric field in a first direction. The conductive layer 102-2 is responsible for electrode driving in the Y-axis direction, so that the dielectric layer 103 and the user's finger 104 form an electric field in the second direction. The first target electric field magnitude in the X-axis direction and the second target electric field magnitude in the Y-axis direction may be electric field magnitude shown in fig. 4.

In the embodiment of the invention, the touch sensing assembly comprises two conductive layers, and electric fields in two directions can be formed by utilizing the two conductive layers, so that the touch sensing of the target part of the user is richer.

The touch-sensitive object can also be a predetermined function control, such as the predetermined function control comprises at least one of a volume-up control, a volume-down control, a power-on and power-off control, a game button and a user common function shortcut key.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electric field between the dielectric layer and the user target part is controlled according to the touch objects, the touch objects are different, the size of the electric field is also different, so that the touch of the user target part is also different, and the requirements of various touch senses of a user are met.

identifying the material of an object displayed on a touch screen; and determining the target electric field size corresponding to the material of the object displayed on the touch screen according to the preset corresponding relation between the material and the electric field size.

In this way, the magnitude of the electric field formed between the dielectric layer and the user target portion is the target electric field magnitude, so that the tactile sensation fed back to the user target portion by the tactile sensation component is the tactile sensation when the user actually contacts the object entity displayed on the touch screen. Thereafter, target information is acquired, and the magnitude of the electric field between the dielectric layer and the user target portion is adjusted based on the magnitude of the target electric field according to the target information.

The following is a detailed description of a specific embodiment. Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an apparatus control method according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, the device control method includes:

s301, acquiring an object displayed on a touch screen; and identifying the material of the object displayed on the touch screen, and determining the target electric field size corresponding to the material of the object displayed on the touch screen according to the preset corresponding relation between the material and the electric field size.

Before acquiring the object displayed on the touch screen, the device control method may further include receiving a first input for starting a touch function, such as the first input being a first input for lighting the electronic device.

Acquiring an object displayed on a touch screen comprises: and responding to the first input, and acquiring an object displayed on the touch screen. The object is displayed on the touch screen, the name of the object is also displayed on the touch screen, and the touch screen can display a fully interpreted webpage of the object under the condition that the touch screen receives input aiming at the name.

And S302, supplying power to the conducting layer according to the size of the target electric field, and forming an electric field between the dielectric layer and the target part of the user. Thus, the user target portion generates a tactile sensation when touching the object entity displayed on the touch screen.

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the electronic device controls a driving Integrated Circuit (IC) to trigger a corresponding control electrical signal to supply power to the conductive layer, and a current value of the power supply to the conductive layer is a current value corresponding to a target electric field.

S303 and S304 are similar to S201 and S202 in fig. 2, and are not repeated here.

In addition, under the condition that the object displayed on the touch screen is changed, the material of the object displayed on the touch screen is re-identified so as to re-adjust the electric field between the dielectric layer and the target part of the user.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, a picture a of the texture of leather is displayed on the touch screen of the electronic device. The electronic equipment receives a first input of a user and responds to the first input to start the touch function. The electronic device recognizes that the displayed content is leather, and the electronic device CPU controls the driving IC to trigger an electric signal of 'leather touch', and controls the current value of the conductive layer in the touch component (the touch component is positioned in the area where the texture picture A of the leather is displayed). In the case where the user target portion is placed on the haptic element, an electric field is formed between the dielectric layer and the user target portion, so that the user's finger has a haptic feeling of touching the leather. A touch intensity adjusting control B is also shown in fig. 4, and the user can adjust the touch intensity of the user's finger by operating the touch intensity adjusting control B. For example, in the case where the user slides leftward on the tactile intensity adjustment control B, the tactile intensity is decreased; in the case where the user slides rightward on the tactile intensity adjustment control B, the tactile intensity is increased.

In addition, the electronic device displays the identified "hide," and in the event that the user clicks on "hide," the electronic device jumps to a web page of the full interpretation of "hide.

In the embodiment of the invention, the tactile sensation fed back to the target part of the user by the target area can be the tactile sensation when the user actually contacts the object entity displayed in the target area, and the defect of experience in the aspect of the tactile sensation of the electronic equipment is filled, so that the electronic equipment has scientific and technological sensation, and the interactive mode and the playability of a tactile screen are enriched, and the extreme sensory experience is brought.

In one or more embodiments of the invention, the touch sensitive object includes a predetermined functionality control.

The power is respectively supplied to the conducting layer in the first touch assembly and the conducting layer in the second touch assembly, and under the condition that a user finger is in contact with the first touch assembly, an electric field is formed between the user finger and the first touch assembly, so that the user finger has touch for the volume increasing control. In the case where the user's finger is in contact with the second tactile member, an electric field is formed between the user's finger and the second tactile member, so that the user's finger has a tactile sensation for the volume down control.

S404, acquiring target information.

S405, according to the target information, adjusting the size of an electric field between a conductive layer in the touch sensing assembly corresponding to each function control and the target part of the user.

S404 and S405 are similar to S201 and S202 in fig. 2, and are not repeated here.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the target part of the user can have touch feeling on the function control, so that the user can find the position of the function control on the electronic equipment through the touch feeling. The function control does not need to be found by eyes, and the entity keys corresponding to the function control do not need to be arranged on the electronic equipment, for example, a switch key and a volume adjusting key do not need to be arranged on the electronic equipment.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the touch sensing element is disposed in at least one side region of a touch screen of the electronic device.

Wherein the side edge region may be a side edge region on a curved screen. The curved screen may be a curved screen as shown in fig. 8. The side regions of the curved screen shown in fig. 8 can be referred to fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a partial schematic view of a curved screen of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 9, curved screen 106 is bent and extended to the side of the electronic device to form side tactile area 107.

Secondly, a target area on the touch screen can bring touch to a user, and blind operation experience is better; different functional controls corresponding to different target areas can be customized, such as game customized buttons and the like, and the interaction mode is richer.

Moreover, the electronic equipment can be free of key openings and raised keys, so that the dustproof and waterproof performance is improved, and the quality and the reliability are improved.

In addition, the hand feeling of the electronic equipment is more mellow, and the holding feeling is improved.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the number of the functional controls and the number of the touch sensing components are N, and the N functional controls correspond to the N touch sensing components one to one; the target electric fields associated with different function controls are different in size, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.

In the embodiment of the invention, a plurality of touch sensing components can be arranged on the electronic equipment, and each touch sensing component corresponds to one function control. The size of the electric field between different touch sense components and the user target part is controlled to be different, so that the touch sense of the user target part to different touch sense components is different, and the user can distinguish different functional controls conveniently.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, after acquiring the touch sensing object, the device control method further includes:

and displaying each function control on the corresponding touch sensitive component.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the functional control is displayed on the corresponding touch-sensitive component, and a user can position the functional control on the electronic equipment in two ways (searching the displayed functional control or sensing the touch corresponding to the functional control).

In one or more embodiments of the invention, the device control method further comprises, before forming the electric field between the dielectric layer and the user target site:

receiving a first input of a user on a preset setting interface of a function control;

and responding to the first input, and setting at least one of the display style of the function control, the display position of the function control and the electric field size corresponding to the function control.

As shown in (a) of fig. 11, on a predetermined setting interface of a function control of an electronic device, a user can set a display style of the function control. The display style of the function control comprises the shape, the color, the light effect, the texture, the function and the icon of the function control. For example, the function control is a volume adjustment control, and the display style of the volume adjustment control may be an add-drop icon as shown in (b) of fig. 11.

The user can set the display style of the function control with the best experience and the corresponding displayed target area according to the size of the palm of the user, for example, the length of the function control with the best experience and the position of the function control are set according to the size of the palm of the user, so that the best experience of manual operation is obtained.

In the embodiment of the invention, a user can set at least one of the display style of the function control, the target area correspondingly displayed by the function control and the touch intensity of the function control according to the own requirements, thereby meeting the personal requirements of the user.

In one or more embodiments of the invention, S202 comprises:

adjusting the magnitude of the electric field in the case that the target information includes at least one piece of information; wherein the at least one message comprises at least one of: when the electronic equipment carries out voice call, the information of a preset application program is operated, the sight of a user is not in the information on the touch screen of the electronic equipment, and the detection result of the human face is not detected.

Wherein the predetermined application includes at least one of a game-like application, a video application, and an audio playback application. The audio playback application may include a music application, a radio application, and an commentary application.

For example, when a user does not make a voice call or play a game, an electric field is formed between the dielectric layer and the user target portion, and the tactile strength of the user target portion is three levels. And then, the user uses the electronic equipment to carry out voice call or not play a game, and in the scene, the user needs to have stronger touch feeling to quickly control the position of the function control on the electronic equipment, so that the touch feeling adjusting mode is determined to increase the touch feeling intensity of the target part of the user, and the touch feeling adjusting amplitude is determined to increase two levels of touch feeling intensity.

According to the touch adjusting mode and the touch adjusting range, the touch strength is increased. Therefore, the tactile sensation of the user target portion is increased from the third-order tactile sensation to the fifth-order tactile sensation.

For another example, an electric field is formed between the dielectric layer and the user target portion, and the tactile strength of the user target portion is three levels. After that, the electronic device acquires a user picture through the front camera, and recognizes that the sight of the user is not on the touch screen of the electronic device or the human face is not detected according to the user picture, so that the touch adjusting mode is determined to increase the touch intensity of the target part of the user, and the touch adjusting amplitude is determined to increase two-stage touch intensity.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electric field intensity is adjusted according to the use scene (carrying out voice call or running a preset application program) of the electronic equipment and/or the user characteristic information (the sight of the user is not on the touch screen or the face of the user is not detected), so that the tactile sensation fed back to the target part of the user by the tactile sensation component conforms to the use scene of the electronic equipment or the user's own condition, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, adjusting the magnitude of the electric field according to the target information includes:

acquiring an age range of the age of the user under the condition that the target information comprises the age of the user;

and adjusting the size of the electric field to the size of the electric field corresponding to the age range.

Since the perception capability of the sense of touch is deteriorated as compared with the age of the user due to the age of the user, the output effect of the sense of touch can be appropriately adjusted according to the age of the user. For example, the electronic device captures a picture of the user through the front camera, and if it is identified that the age of the user is smaller than a second predetermined age (for example, 35 years old) according to the picture of the user, the tactile intensity of the target portion of the user is three levels.

In the case where the age of the user is identified to be 58 years from the user picture, the age of 58 years is greater than a first predetermined age (for example, 35 years), and thus the tactile sensation adjustment manner is determined to increase the tactile sensation intensity of the target portion of the user. In addition, the magnitude of the haptic adjustment is determined based on the difference between the age of the user (in this example, the age of the user is 58 years) and the first predetermined age. For example, after calculating the difference between the age of the user and the first predetermined age (i.e. the difference is 23 years), the result of dividing the difference by 10 is rounded up, and the integer is 2; thereby determining the magnitude of the tactile sensation adjustment to be two-step.

In the embodiment of the invention, the size of the electric field is adjusted according to the age of the user, so that the touch feeling fed back to the target part of the user by the touch feeling component meets the requirement of the user on the touch feeling, and the use experience of the user is improved. In some embodiments of the present invention, the touch screen of the electronic device may be a curved screen, and the curved screen includes screens with different screen sides or screen peripheries that are bent, and screens with different bending angles, but is not limited to several forms of the curved screen in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In addition, the touch screen of the electronic device may further include a non-curved screen (i.e., a straight screen). The touch screens are all in a protection range.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the touch screen of the electronic device is a four-curved screen extending to four corners.
