s110, receiving a first input of the user aiming at the target area under the condition that the user reads the electronic book.

When a user reads an electronic book on an electronic device, the electronic device may receive a first input of the user at a target area of the electronic device.

In one embodiment, the target area may be a specific area on a display screen of the electronic device.

Optionally, in an embodiment, when the electronic book is turned over by the user, only the page of the nth page being read is displayed on the display interface of the electronic device, and the target area is a specific area set on the area, and the target area may be set according to the requirement of the user.

Optionally, in an embodiment, the electronic book, which is turned by the user and displayed on the display interface of the electronic device, may be divided into two regions, a first region and a second region, as shown in fig. 2, wherein the first region may be regarded as a page of the nth page, and the second region may be regarded as a page of the (N + 1) th page. The target area is a front half area and a rear half area as shown in fig. 3, and the front half area can be understood as a page before the nth page, such as an area occupied by a page edge of the front cover, page 1, page 2, page … …, and the nth page of the electronic book; the latter half area is understood as the area occupied by the page edges of the (N + 1) th page, the (N + 2) th page, … … and the M (M) th page, and the whole electronic book is M pages. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a display interface of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an electronic book simulation interface according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, in one embodiment, the sum of the width K1 of the front half region and the width K2 of the back half region is equal to the width of the display interface of the electronic device of 1/2. And the width K1 of the front half region and the width K2 of the rear half region satisfy the following formulas:

K1＝aN；K2＝a(M-N)

wherein a is a coefficient, M is the total number of pages of the electronic book, and N is the target number of pages.

In one embodiment, the first input may be a slide input, a click input, a long press input, or the like. The first input is for a user to turn a page of the electronic book.

S120, responding to the first input, acquiring the target page number N corresponding to the target area, dividing the target area into N sub-areas, and controlling the N sub-areas to release first current, wherein the current of the central area of each sub-area is larger than the current value of the edge area of each sub-area.

Wherein N is an integer greater than zero. Under the condition that the electronic equipment acquires first input in the target area, responding to the first input, acquiring the target page number N corresponding to the target area, dividing the target area into N sub-areas, then controlling the N sub-areas to release first current, and controlling the current value of the center area of each sub-area to be larger than the current value of the edge area of each sub-area.

In one embodiment, the electronic device controls the N sub-regions to release the first current, and controls the current value of the central region of each sub-region to be larger than the current value of the edge region of each sub-region, as shown in fig. 4. In fig. 4, the horizontal axis is the width of the target region, the vertical axis is the current value of the first current, n is the width of each sub-region, and I is the magnitude of the current value of the middle region of each sub-region; in each sub-region, the magnitude of the current value is regular in several regions of each sub-region, and the current value in the edge region of each sub-region is smaller than that in the center region of the corresponding sub-region.

In other words, in fig. 4, the middle region of each sub-region is the region where the maximum value of the current, i.e. the peak, is reached, and the current gradually decreases until it is zero in the regions on both sides of the peak.

According to the embodiment of the invention, when the first input aiming at the target area is received, the target page number N corresponding to the target area is obtained, the first current is controlled to be released on the N sub-areas of the target area, the current value of the central area of each area is larger than that of the edge area of the corresponding sub-area, and the raised touch feeling is simulated, so that the thickness touch feeling of the page edge and the real book is simulated, and the user experience is improved.

Optionally, in one embodiment, the current value released by the N sub-regions is positively correlated with the target number of pages N. The positive correlation between the current values released by the N sub-regions and N refers to that the current values released by a plurality of regions in each sub-region are all related to N. In this way, the magnitude of the current values of the plurality of regions in the N sub-regions is positively correlated with N, so that the tactile experience of the user is further improved. Optionally, in one embodiment, the first input may comprise a slide input. In the case where the first input is a slide input, the method may further include:

the electronic equipment determines the sliding direction and the sliding distance of the sliding input; in the case where the sliding direction is the first direction, the widths of the N sub-regions are controlled to increase with an increase in the sliding distance, and at the same time, the current values of the N sub-regions become gradually smaller with an increase in the sliding distance.

Alternatively, in the case where the sliding direction is the second direction, the electronic device controls the widths of the N sub-regions to decrease as the sliding distance increases.

In the case shown in fig. 4, the number of waves in the target region is:

Num1＝floor(K÷n1)

wherein Num1 is the number of waves; floor is rounding down; k is the width of the target area; n1 is the distance between two peaks, where n1 equals n.

When the user inputs a sliding operation in the target area, that is, when the electronic device receives a sliding operation for the target area, and when the electronic device determines that the sliding direction of the sliding input is the first direction, the widths of the N sub-areas increase with the increase of the sliding distance, in this case, compared with the case shown in fig. 4, the number of waves in the target area is:

Num2＝floor(K÷n2)

wherein Num2 is the current number of waves; k is the width of the target area; n2 is the distance between two peaks at this time. At this time, since the widths of the N sub-regions increase with an increase in the sliding distance, i.e., N2> N1, Num2< Num 1. At this time, the convex tactile sensation of the target region becomes sparse, and the degree of sparseness of the convex tactile sensation gradually increases as the sliding distance increases.

Optionally, in an embodiment, in a case that the electronic device determines that the sliding direction of the sliding input is the first direction, the widths of the N sub-regions increase with an increase in the sliding distance, and meanwhile, the current values of the N sub-regions gradually decrease with an increase in the sliding distance, so that the protruding touch feeling can be further reduced, and the user experience is improved.

In the case where the electronic device determines that the sliding direction of the sliding input is the second direction, the widths of the N sub-regions decrease with increasing sliding distance, and at this time, the number of waves of the target region is:

Num3＝floor(K÷n3)

wherein Num3 is the current number of waves; k is the width of the target area; n3 is the distance between two peaks at this time. At this time, since the widths of the N sub-regions decrease with increasing sliding distance, i.e., N3< N1, Num3> Num 1. The convex tactile sensation of the target area at this time becomes dense, and the degree of the dense convex tactile sensation gradually increases as the sliding distance increases.

In one embodiment, in a case where the electronic device receives a sliding input of a user for a target region, assuming that the target region is a first half region as shown in fig. 2, if the electronic device detects that the sliding direction is a first direction, the first direction is a direction drawn from the first region to a second region (as shown in fig. 1), or is a direction sliding to the right, at this time, the electronic device controls a distance between two peaks of the first half region to increase with an increase in the sliding distance, at this time, a wave number of the first half region gradually decreases with an increase in the sliding distance, and a sparseness degree of a convex touch feeling of the first half region gradually increases.

If the electronic device detects that the sliding direction is the second direction, which is the direction drawn from the second region to the first region (as shown in fig. 1), or the direction of sliding to the left, the electronic device controls the distance between two peaks of the first half region to be smaller as the sliding distance increases, the wave number of the first half region to be gradually increased as the sliding distance increases, and the density of the convex touch feeling of the first half region to be gradually increased.

In one embodiment, if the target region is the second half region as shown in fig. 2, and the electronic device detects that the sliding direction is the first direction, the first direction is the direction drawn from the first region to the second region (as shown in fig. 1), or the direction is called sliding to the right, at this time, the electronic device controls the distance between two peaks of the second half region to decrease with the increase of the sliding distance, at this time, the wave number of the second half region gradually increases with the increase of the sliding distance, and the density of the convex touch feeling of the first half region gradually increases.

If the target region is the second half region as shown in fig. 2, and the electronic device detects that the sliding direction is the second direction, which is the direction drawn from the second region to the first region (as shown in fig. 1), or the direction of sliding to the left, at this time, the electronic device controls the distance between two peaks of the second half region to increase with the increase of the sliding distance, the wave number of the second half region gradually decreases with the increase of the sliding distance, and the degree of sparseness of the convex touch feeling of the second half region gradually increases.

Optionally, in an embodiment, in a case that a current value released by the target area (the front panel area or the rear half area) is smaller than a preset value, the electronic device controls to complete page turning, and the user experience is improved by gradually reducing the current value of the target area to experience a tactile sensation of page turning from a tactile sensation.

Optionally, in an embodiment, the electronic device controls to complete the page turning when the current value released by the target area gradually decreases to zero. In the process that the current of the target area is gradually reduced to zero, the convex touch sense of the target area is gradually reduced to zero, and when the current value is reduced to zero, the target area is smooth, the process of page turning is experienced in the sense of touch, and the user experience is improved.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the distance between the N sub-regions is controlled according to the sliding distance and the sliding direction of the sliding data, and the density change of the convex touch sense is simulated, so that the effect of turning the page of the book is achieved, the experience of simulating the real book to be turned over is experienced by the user in the sense of touch, and the user experience is improved.

The scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention can be suitable for simulating the roughness of paper, and different roughness of the paper can be simulated by changing the distance between two wave crests and the magnitude of the wave crest current. The electronic equipment can control the distance between the wave crests to increase along with the increase of the sliding distance, and the current value of the wave crests is gradually reduced along with the increase of the sliding distance, so that the smoothness of the paper is simulated; on the contrary, the electronic equipment can control the distance between the wave crests to increase along with the increase of the sliding distance, the current value of the wave crests increases along with the increase of the sliding distance, and the paper is rougher along with the increase of the sliding distance to show the tactile experience that the page is difficult to turn over.

Besides, the embodiment of the invention is also suitable for simulating the tightness degree of the rope, for example, in a game, the distance between two wave crests and the magnitude of the current value are controlled through the sliding distance and the sliding direction of the sliding input, so that the tightness experience when the rope is pulled is simulated.

Optionally, in one embodiment, the first input may also be a click input. In a case where the first input is a click input, the method may further include:

the electronic equipment responds to the electronic input and controls the turning of the target page; under the condition that the edge area of the target page is overlapped with the target area, controlling the target area to release a second current; under the condition that the edge area of the target page is far away from the target area, controlling the current value released by the target area to be gradually reduced; the target page is the uppermost page of the N pages corresponding to the target area.

As shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of page turning according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 5, in the case where the electronic device receives a user's click input with respect to the target area (a position area), the electronic device controls page flipping. Assume in fig. 5 that the page is flipped from "right" to "left", in other words, the page flips first through the B-position area and then to the a-position area. In the case where the electronic device detects that the edge area of the target page coincides with the target area (a-position area), the electronic device controls the target area to discharge the second current. When the electronic equipment detects that the edge area of the target page is far away from the target area, the electronic equipment controls the current value released by the target area to be gradually reduced. Optionally, in an embodiment, in a case that the current value released by the target area is gradually decreased to be smaller than a preset threshold, the electronic device controls to complete page turning of the target page, that is, completing fast page turning of the target page by one-click input.

Optionally, in an embodiment, under the condition that the current value released by the target area is gradually reduced to zero, the electronic device controls to complete page turning of the target page, that is, the electronic device completes fast page turning of the target page by one-click input, so that the tactile experience of fast page turning of the user is improved.

Optionally, in one embodiment, the first input may also be a long press input. The electronic equipment can control the target page to turn pages under the condition that the electronic equipment receives long press input of a user aiming at the target area, when the edge area of the target page reaches the target area, the target area is controlled to release the second current, and when the electronic equipment detects that the edge area of the target page is far away from the target area, the current value released by the target area is controlled to gradually decrease by the electronic equipment. And under the condition that the current value released by the target area is gradually reduced to be smaller than a preset threshold value, the electronic equipment controls to complete page turning of the target page. And when the electronic equipment detects that the time of the long press input exceeds PT, turning the page of the next target page, wherein P is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, and T is a preset time threshold. Namely, when the long press input time exceeds P times of T duration, the electronic equipment controls the continuous page turning P, so that the fast page turning is achieved, the touch sense of the fast page turning is simulated, and the user experience is improved.

According to the haptic feedback method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the rapid page turning and the continuous page turning are simulated through different operations, the target area is controlled to release the second current when the edge area of the target page is controlled to coincide with the target area in the rapid page turning and the continuous page turning, and the current value of the target area is controlled to be gradually reduced under the condition that the edge area of the target page is far away from the target area, so that the touch sense that the edge of paper scrapes fingers is simulated, the page turning effect of an electronic book is more real, and the experience of reading the electronic book is improved.
