Description

Method for shielding touch event and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of electronics, in particular to a method for shielding a touch event and electronic equipment.

Background

In order to provide a better display effect and facilitate user operation, the screen occupation ratio of the touch screen of mobile electronic equipment such as a mobile phone is increasing, and the area for receiving the touch operation of a user is also increasing.

The larger and larger touch screens make it easy for a user to inadvertently make a false touch. For example, when a user puts a mobile phone into a pocket, the touch screen of the mobile phone is prone to generate false touch due to contact with clothes or other objects in the pocket.

Disclosure of Invention

The embodiment of the application provides a method for shielding a touch event and electronic equipment, which can reduce the occurrence of false touch.

In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme of the application adopts the following technical scheme:

in a first aspect, a technical solution of the present application provides a method for shielding a touch event, including: if the electronic equipment determines that the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state, a distance sensor of the electronic equipment is shielded, and the electronic equipment is in an inverted posture, the electronic equipment shields the touch event.

When the electronic equipment is determined to be in a bright screen state, the distance sensor of the electronic equipment is shielded, and the electronic equipment is in the inverted posture, the electronic equipment can be shown to be in the pocket currently, so that the touch event can be shielded, and the occurrence of mistaken touch is reduced.

In one possible implementation, if the electronic device determines that the electronic device is in a bright screen state, a distance sensor of the electronic device is blocked, and the electronic device is in an inverted posture, the electronic device shields the touch event, including: whether electronic equipment is in bright screen state, whether electronic equipment's distance sensor is sheltered from to and whether electronic equipment is the handstand gesture is confirmed to electronic equipment periodicity.

That is, the electronic device may periodically determine whether the above three conditions are satisfied, thereby determining whether the electronic device is in a pocket.

In another possible implementation, if the electronic device determines that the electronic device is in a bright screen state, a distance sensor of the electronic device is shielded, and the electronic device is in an inverted posture, the shielding the touch event by the electronic device includes: after the electronic device receives the first interrupt event, the second interrupt event or the third interrupt event, whether the electronic device is in a bright screen state, whether a distance sensor of the electronic device is shielded, and whether the electronic device is in an inverted posture are determined. If the electronic equipment determines that the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state, a distance sensor of the electronic equipment is shielded, and the electronic equipment is in an inverted posture, the electronic equipment shields the touch event. The first interrupt event is used for reporting that the touch screen is switched from a screen-off state to a screen-on state; the second interrupt event is used for reporting that the distance sensor is switched from being shielded to being shielded from being shielded; and the third interrupt event is used for reporting that the electronic equipment is switched from the non-inverted posture to the inverted posture.

In this scheme, the electronic device may determine whether the three conditions are satisfied after receiving any one of the first to third interrupt events.

In a possible implementation, the first interrupt event is used to report that the touch screen is switched from the off-screen state to the on-screen state (the first interrupt event may be referred to as interrupt event 1), or the first interrupt event is used to report that the touch screen is switched from the on-screen state to the off-screen state (the first interrupt event may be referred to as interrupt event 2). The second interrupt event is used to report that the distance sensor is switched from being occluded to being occluded (the first interrupt event may be referred to as interrupt event 3), or the second interrupt event is used to report that the distance sensor is switched from being occluded to being unoccluded (the first interrupt event may be referred to as interrupt event 4). The third interrupt event is used to report that the electronic device is switched from the non-inverted posture to the inverted posture (the first interrupt event may be referred to as interrupt event 5), or the third interrupt event is used to report that the electronic device is switched from the inverted posture to the non-inverted posture (the first interrupt event may be referred to as interrupt event 6).

That is, the electronic device may determine whether the above-described three conditions are satisfied after receiving any one of the interrupt events 1 to 6.

In another possible implementation, after receiving a first interrupt event, a second interrupt event, or a third interrupt event, the electronic device determines whether the electronic device is in a bright screen state, whether a distance sensor of the electronic device is blocked, and whether the electronic device is in an inverted posture, including: after the electronic equipment receives the first interrupt event, determining that the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state; the method comprises the steps that the electronic equipment starts a distance sensor and an attitude sensor, wherein the attitude sensor is used for detecting the attitude of the electronic equipment; the electronic device determines whether the distance sensor is occluded and whether the electronic device is in an inverted posture.

In the scheme, the electronic equipment can turn off the distance sensor and the attitude sensor in the screen off state and turn on the distance sensor and the attitude sensor in the screen on state, so that the power consumption of the electronic equipment can be saved.

In another possible implementation, after the electronic device turns on the distance sensor and the attitude sensor, the method further includes: if the electronic equipment receives another first interrupt event and the electronic equipment determines that the screen is in the screen-off state according to the other first interrupt event, the electronic equipment closes the distance sensor and the attitude sensor.

That is, before the electronic device is switched from the bright screen state to the off screen state, the electronic device satisfies the condition of the bright screen state, and the electronic device can cyclically determine whether other two conditions are satisfied through the distance sensor and the attitude sensor, so that whether the touch event is shielded or the electronic device is normally operated is cyclically determined.

In another possible implementation, after the electronic device masks the touch event, the method further includes: if the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state, the distance sensor is shielded, the electronic equipment is converted from the inverted posture into the non-inverted posture, and the duration time of the electronic equipment in the non-inverted posture is less than or equal to a first preset value, the electronic equipment keeps shielding the touch event.

Therefore, after the electronic equipment shields the touch event, under the condition that the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state and the distance sensor is shielded, if the electronic equipment has an inverted posture and is switched to a non-inverted posture temporarily, and then returns to the inverted posture quickly, the electronic equipment does not cancel the shielding of the touch event when the electronic equipment is switched to the non-inverted posture temporarily, so that frequent shielding and cancellation of the shielding of the touch event can be avoided, and the power consumption of the mobile phone is saved.

In another possible implementation, the electronic device determining whether the inverted posture is the inverted posture includes: if the duration of the electronic equipment in the inverted posture is greater than a second preset value within a preset duration before the current moment, determining the electronic equipment in the inverted posture; or, in a preset time period before the current time, if the time period of the electronic equipment in the non-inverted posture is less than or equal to a third preset value, the electronic equipment is determined to be in the inverted posture.

In this way, after the electronic device shields the touch event, if the electronic device is in a bright screen state, the distance sensor of the electronic device is shielded, and the electronic device is temporarily switched to an inverted state; however, within a preset time period before the current time, if the time period of the electronic device in the inverted posture is greater than the second preset value, or the time period of the electronic device in the non-inverted posture is less than the third preset value, that is, the electronic device is in the inverted posture in most of the third preset time period before the current time, the electronic device can keep shielding the touch event without immediately canceling the touch shielding event, so that frequent shielding and cancellation of shielding of the touch event can be avoided, and the power consumption of the mobile phone is reduced.

In another possible implementation, if the electronic device determines that the electronic device is in a bright screen state, a distance sensor of the electronic device is shielded, and the electronic device is in an inverted posture, the shielding the touch event by the electronic device includes: if the electronic equipment is determined to be in a bright screen state, the distance sensor of the electronic equipment is shielded, the electronic equipment is in an inverted posture, and the electronic equipment is in a vertical screen display state, the electronic equipment shields the touch event.

Thus, in some scenes, such as a scene in which a user lies on his side and plays a game with a mobile phone in a landscape screen or looks at a video in a landscape screen, the user's hand may block the distance sensor, the electronic device is in a bright screen state, and the electronic device is in an inverted posture, but the electronic device is not in a portrait screen display state but in a landscape screen display state, so that the electronic device does not shield a touch event but keeps working normally, so that the user can play a game or look at a video normally.

In a second aspect, the present application provides an apparatus for shielding a touch event, where the apparatus is included in an electronic device, and the apparatus has a function of implementing a behavior of the electronic device in any one of the above-mentioned first aspect and possible implementation manners of the first aspect. The functions may be implemented by hardware, or by hardware executing corresponding software. The hardware or software includes one or more modules or units corresponding to the above-described functions. Such as an input module or unit, a display module or unit, a processing module or unit, etc.

In a third aspect, embodiments of the present application provide an electronic device including one or more processors and one or more memories. The one or more memories are coupled to the one or more processors for storing computer program code comprising computer instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to perform the method of masking touch events of any of the possible implementations of the first aspect described above.

In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer storage medium, which includes computer instructions, and when the computer instructions are executed on an electronic device, the electronic device is caused to perform the method for shielding a touch event in any one of the possible implementations of the first aspect.

In a fifth aspect, the present application provides a computer program product, which when run on a computer, causes the electronic device to perform the method for shielding touch events in any one of the possible implementations of the first aspect.

Detailed Description

When a user puts an electronic device such as a mobile phone into a pocket, the touch screen of the electronic device is easy to generate false touch due to the fact that the touch screen of the electronic device touches clothes or other objects in the pocket. The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can reduce the occurrence of false touch by shielding the touch event when the electronic equipment is determined to be positioned in the pocket.

Particularly, when a user puts an electronic device such as a mobile phone into a pocket, if the electronic device such as the mobile phone is in a bright screen state, the mobile phone is more likely to generate a false touch. For example, a mobile phone in a bright screen state may turn on a camera or a flashlight application due to the fact that clothes or other objects in a pocket contact shortcut keys such as a camera and a flashlight on a touch screen, so that a false touch is generated; for another example, the mobile phone in the bright screen state may have a fingerprint or pattern drawing error due to the fact that the fingerprint or pattern drawing area on the touch screen is touched by clothes or other objects in the pocket, so that the mobile phone is locked; for another example, in a mobile phone in a bright screen state, a track of the touch screen touched by clothing or other objects in the pocket is the same as a preset track (e.g., a track of "C"), so that an application (e.g., a phone call application) corresponding to the preset track is opened, and a false touch may be generated.

In actual life, the mobile phone in the pocket of the user is often in a bright screen state, so that the user is easy to touch by mistake. For example, the user forgets to turn off the touch screen before putting the mobile phone into the pocket, and puts the mobile phone in the bright screen state into the pocket directly. For another example, the user puts the mobile phone with the screen off into a pocket, but the mobile phone receives an incoming call, a message or the screen is turned on due to an alarm clock prompt or the user accidentally touches a power key.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can reduce the occurrence of false touch by shielding the touch event when the electronic equipment is in a pocket under the bright screen state.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. In the description of the embodiments herein, "/" means "or" unless otherwise specified, for example, a/B may mean a or B; "and/or" herein is merely an association describing an associated object, and means that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, which may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more than two.

The method for shielding a touch event provided in the embodiment of the present application may be applied to electronic devices such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted device, an Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) device, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, and a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the embodiment of the present application does not limit specific types of the electronic devices at all.

It should be understood that the interface connection relationship between the modules illustrated in the embodiments of the present application is only an illustration, and does not limit the structure of the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may also adopt different interface connection manners or a combination of multiple interface connection manners in the above embodiments.

The demodulator is used for demodulating the received electromagnetic wave signal into a low-frequency baseband signal. The demodulator then passes the demodulated low frequency baseband signal to a baseband processor for processing. The low frequency baseband signal is processed by the baseband processor and then transferred to the application processor.

The ISP is used to process the data fed back by the camera 193. For example, when a photo is taken, the shutter is opened, light is transmitted to the camera photosensitive element through the lens, the optical signal is converted into an electrical signal, and the camera photosensitive element transmits the electrical signal to the ISP for processing and converting into an image visible to naked eyes. The ISP can also carry out algorithm optimization on the noise, brightness and skin color of the image. The ISP can also optimize parameters such as exposure, color temperature and the like of a shooting scene. In some embodiments, the ISP may be provided in camera 193.

The camera 193 is used to capture still images or video. The object generates an optical image through the lens and projects the optical image to the photosensitive element. The photosensitive element may be a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The light sensing element converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is then passed to the ISP where it is converted into a digital image signal. And the ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into image signal in standard RGB, YUV and other formats. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may include 1 or N cameras 193, N being a positive integer greater than 1.

The digital signal processor is used for processing digital signals, and can process digital image signals and other digital signals. For example, when the electronic device 100 selects a frequency bin, the digital signal processor is used to perform fourier transform or the like on the frequency bin energy.

Video codecs are used to compress or decompress digital video. The electronic device 100 may support one or more video codecs. In this way, the electronic device 100 may play or record video in a variety of encoding formats, such as: moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) 1, MPEG2, MPEG3, MPEG4, and the like.

The NPU is a neural-network (NN) computing processor that processes input information quickly by using a biological neural network structure, for example, by using a transfer mode between neurons of a human brain, and can also learn by itself continuously. Applications such as intelligent recognition of the electronic device 100 can be realized through the NPU, for example: image recognition, face recognition, speech recognition, text understanding, and the like.

The external memory interface 120 may be used to connect an external memory card, such as a Micro SD card, to extend the memory capability of the electronic device 100. The external memory card communicates with the processor 110 through the external memory interface 120 to implement a data storage function. For example, files such as music, video, etc. are saved in an external memory card.

The internal memory 121 may be used to store computer-executable program code, which includes instructions. The processor 110 executes various functional applications of the electronic device 100 and data processing by executing instructions stored in the internal memory 121. The internal memory 121 may include a program storage area and a data storage area.

For example, prompting text information in the status bar, sounding a prompt tone, vibrating the electronic device, flashing an indicator light, etc.

The Android Runtime comprises a core library and a virtual machine. The Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and managing an Android system.

The core library comprises two parts: one part is a function which needs to be called by java language, and the other part is a core library of android.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. And executing java files of the application program layer and the application program framework layer into a binary file by the virtual machine. The virtual machine is used for performing the functions of object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, safety and exception management, garbage collection and the like.

The workflow of the software and hardware of the electronic device 100 is exemplarily described below in connection with a scene in which a camera is started to take a picture in response to an operation of touching a camera icon by a user.

When the touch sensor 180K receives a touch operation, a corresponding hardware interrupt is issued to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes the touch operation into an original input event (including touch coordinates, a time stamp of the touch operation, and other information). The raw input events are stored at the kernel layer. And the application program framework layer acquires the original input event from the kernel layer and identifies the control corresponding to the input event. Taking the touch operation as a touch click operation, and taking a control corresponding to the click operation as a control of a camera application icon as an example, the camera application calls an interface of an application framework layer, starts the camera application, further starts a camera drive by calling a kernel layer, and captures a still image or a video through the camera 193.

The following explains a technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, taking a mobile phone with a hardware structure shown in fig. 1 and a software structure shown in fig. 2 as an example of the electronic device 100.

Referring to fig. 3, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for shielding a touch event, which may include:

300. if the electronic equipment determines that the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state, a distance sensor of the electronic equipment is shielded, and the electronic equipment is in an inverted posture, the electronic equipment shields the touch event.

That is, if the electronic device satisfies the shielding condition, the electronic device may shield the touch event. The shielding condition may include that the electronic device is determined to be in a bright screen state, a distance sensor of the electronic device is shielded, and the electronic device is in an inverted posture.

The electronic device is in an inverted posture, which means that the head (or top) of the electronic device faces downward. As shown in fig. 4, the head portion 401 of the electronic device refers to a side of the electronic device where an earphone 402 is located, the bottom portion 403 of the electronic device refers to a side of the electronic device where a microphone 404 is located, and the head portion 401 and the bottom portion 403 of the electronic device are located on two opposite sides of the electronic device. The electronic device further comprises a distance sensor 405, which may be located on the side of the head 401 of the electronic device or on the side of the bottom 403 of the electronic device. The touch screen 406 of the electronic device is used to display a Graphical User Interface (GUI). As shown in fig. 4, the GUI currently displayed by the electronic device includes icons of a plurality of applications, names of the plurality of applications, a weather widget, a status bar, and the like.

Generally, when a user uses an electronic device, as shown in fig. 4, the head 401 of the electronic device faces upward, and the picture direction of the icon of the application and the text direction of the name of the application are forward from the viewpoint of the user. After the user has used the electronic device, the user typically places the electronic device in the pocket with the head down, see fig. 5. And when the electronic equipment is put into the pocket, the distance sensor on the electronic equipment can be shielded by the pocket. Thus, when the distance sensor on the electronic device is shielded and the head of the electronic device is facing down, it may indicate that the electronic device is placed in a pocket. Therefore, when the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state, the distance sensor is shielded, and the head of the electronic equipment faces downwards, the electronic equipment can be indicated to be in the bright screen state in the pocket, so that a touch event can be shielded, and the occurrence of mistaken touch is reduced. If the three conditions that the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state, the distance sensor of the electronic equipment is shielded and the electronic equipment is in an inverted posture are not met, the touch event is not shielded, and the electronic equipment keeps working normally.

The distance sensor may include an optical distance sensor, an infrared distance sensor, an ultrasonic distance sensor, or the like. The process of determining that the distance sensor is occluded is described herein by taking an infrared distance sensor as an example. The infrared sensor may be the proximity optical sensor, and the infrared distance sensor may include an infrared transmitting tube and an infrared receiving tube, and when the infrared rays emitted from the transmitting tube are reflected by the object and received by the receiving tube, the distance between the object and the infrared distance sensor may be determined according to the transmitting time and the receiving time; if the distance is smaller than or equal to the preset threshold value, the fact that the infrared distance sensor is close to the certain object can be indicated, and the infrared distance sensor is shielded; if the distance is larger than the preset threshold value, the fact that the infrared distance sensor is close to the object can be indicated, and the infrared distance sensor is not shielded; when the receiving tube cannot receive the infrared rays transmitted by the transmitting tube, the fact that the infrared distance sensor is far away from the object can be shown, and the infrared distance sensor is not shielded.

Referring to fig. 6, the head of the electronic device facing downward means that an angle 603 between a ray 601 pointing to the head of the electronic device from the bottom of the electronic device and parallel to a side of the electronic device and a gravity direction 602 is smaller than or equal to a preset angle value. The preset angle value is smaller than 90 °, and the specific value may be set according to actual needs, for example, the preset angle value may be 20 °. If the included angle 603 between the ray 601 and the gravity direction 602 is greater than the preset angle value, the electronic device is not in the head-down state, and the electronic device is in the non-inverted posture. Specifically, the electronic apparatus may determine the orientation of the head of the electronic apparatus from at least one of a gravity sensor, an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope, and the like, thereby determining whether the electronic apparatus is in an inverted posture.

The step of shielding the touch event by the electronic device means that the electronic device closes the touch function of the touch screen and does not respond to the touch event of the touch screen.

In some embodiments, the electronic device masking touch events in step 300 may include: the electronic device turns off the function of detecting the touch signal, that is, the electronic device does not detect the touch signal, and thus does not generate a touch event and does not respond to the touch event.

In other embodiments, the electronic device masking touch events in step 300 may include: the electronic device interrupts response processing for a touch event corresponding to the touch signal after detecting the touch signal. For example, after the touch signal is detected by the touch screen of the electronic device, no touch event is generated, and the touch event is not reported to the upper application window, so that the touch event is not responded. For another example, after a touch signal is detected by a touch screen of the electronic device, a touch event is generated according to the touch signal, and the touch event is redirected to a preset upper application window for processing, so that the touch event is intercepted by the preset upper application window, and the original processing of the touch event is interrupted.

For example, when the electronic device is in a bright screen state, a distance sensor of the electronic device is shielded, and the electronic device is in an inverted posture, if a touch event is detected by a touch screen of the electronic device, the electronic device reports the touch event to a preset prompting application window, and the prompting application window prompts, through a sound of "droplet drop", that a user is currently in a touch shielding state, and in this state, the electronic device does not respond to the touch event; or the prompting application window prompts the user of the current shielded touch event through sound of shielded touch; alternatively, the prompt application window may prompt the user that the touch event has been masked by means of a vibration; alternatively, the prompt application window may prompt the user to "touch-masked" through a small popup displayed in a local area in an off-screen display (AOD) state.

In other embodiments, the electronic device masking touch events in step 300 may include: the electronic equipment closes the function of detecting the touch signal, and turns off or locks the screen after a first preset time; or after the electronic equipment detects the touch signal, interrupting the response processing of the touch event corresponding to the touch signal, and turning off or locking the screen after a first preset time period.

In other embodiments, the electronic device masking touch events in step 300 may include: the electronic device is turned off or locked to shield the touch screen from touch events.

In many cases, the user puts the electronic device in a bright screen state into a pocket and wants to continue using the electronic device later. For example, when a user uses a mobile phone, a bus comes, the user puts the mobile phone in a bright screen state into a pocket, draws out a bus card for swiping, and after the card swiping is completed, the user draws out the mobile phone for continuous use. In some embodiments, when the duration that the three conditions of the bright screen state, the distance sensor being blocked, and the inverted posture are simultaneously satisfied is greater than or equal to a second preset time (e.g., 5s), it may be indicated that the user may temporarily not want to use the electronic device any more, and the electronic device may shield the touch event; in the case that the duration time that these three conditions are satisfied simultaneously is less than the second preset duration, the user may still use the electronic device immediately, and thus the electronic device may not shield the touch event and maintain normal operation.

In step 300, the electronic device masks the touch event after determining that the three conditions of the bright screen state, the shielded distance sensor, and the inverted posture are satisfied. The sequence of determining whether each of the three conditions is satisfied by the electronic device is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the electronic device may first determine whether the screen is in a bright state, and then determine whether the distance sensor is shielded and whether the electronic device is in an inverted posture; for another example, the electronic device may first determine whether the distance sensor is occluded, and then determine whether the screen is bright and the inverted position. After the electronic device has masked the touch event, if the electronic device determines that the three conditions are not currently met, the electronic device may resume normal operation. Or after the electronic device masks the touch event, if the electronic device determines that the three conditions are not met currently, the electronic device cancels the masking of the touch event, so as to recover the normal operation.

For example, referring to fig. 7, the step 300 may specifically include:

701. the electronic device determines whether it is in a bright screen state.

If the screen is in the bright screen state, the electronic device performs step 702, and if the screen is not in the bright screen state, the electronic device performs step 703.

702. The electronic device determines whether a distance sensor of the electronic device is occluded.

If not, go to step 703; if so, go to step 704.

703. The electronic equipment works normally.

704. The electronic device determines whether the inverted posture is present.

If the posture is inverted, go to step 705; if not, go to step 703.

705. The electronic device masks the touch event.

In some embodiments, the distance sensor and the gesture sensor may be kept on, and the electronic device may periodically (for example, the period may be 20s) perform the steps 701-705 described above in a loop, that is, periodically detect whether the electronic device is in a bright screen state, whether the distance sensor is blocked, and whether the electronic device is in an inverted posture. The attitude sensor may be configured to detect an attitude of the electronic device, for example, an angle between the ray 601 and the gravity direction 602 may be detected, so as to detect whether the electronic device is in an inverted attitude. For example, the attitude sensor may be one or more of a gravity sensor, a gyroscope, or an acceleration sensor. Specifically, in the current detection period, if the electronic device determines in step 701 that the electronic device is not in the bright screen state (for example, the electronic device is in the off screen state (the off screen state may include the AOD state)), the electronic device performs step 703, that is, the electronic device keeps operating normally, and waits for the next detection period to arrive and then performs step 701 again. In the current detection period, if the electronic device determines that the electronic device is in the bright screen state and determines that the distance sensor is not shielded in step 704, the electronic device executes step 703 and waits for the next detection period to arrive and then executes step 701 again. In the current detection period, if the electronic device determines that the electronic device is in a bright screen state and the distance sensor is shielded, and the electronic device is not in an inverted posture, the electronic device executes step 703, and executes step 701 again after waiting for the next detection period to arrive. In the current detection period, if the electronic device determines that the electronic device is in a bright screen state and the distance sensor is shielded, and the electronic device is in an inverted posture, the electronic device executes step 705, and executes step 701 again after waiting for the next detection period. After step 705 (masking the touch event), if the electronic device executes step 703 again, step 703 is to cancel the masking of the touch event, so as to resume normal operation. After canceling the masking of the touch event, if the electronic device performs step 703 again, step 703 is to keep the electronic device operating normally.

Specifically, the memory of the electronic device may store related data, information or parameters indicating a state of the touch screen of the electronic device (e.g., a screen-on state or a screen-off state), a state of the distance sensor (e.g., shielded or not shielded), and a posture of the electronic device (e.g., an inverted posture, a non-inverted posture, or an angle at which the electronic device is currently tilted with respect to a gravity direction). When the state of a touch screen of the electronic equipment, the state of a distance sensor or the posture of the electronic equipment changes, the data, information or parameters also change correspondingly; the electronic device can determine whether the electronic device is in a bright screen state, whether the distance sensor is shielded, and whether the electronic device is in an inverted posture by querying the data, information or parameters.

In other embodiments, after the electronic device masks the touch event in step 705 above, the electronic device may periodically detect whether the electronic device is in a bright screen state, whether the distance sensor is blocked, and whether the electronic device is in an inverted posture. If the electronic device determines that the electronic device is not in the bright screen state, the distance sensor is not shielded, or the electronic device is not in the inverted posture, the electronic device cancels shielding of the touch event, and then returns to the step 701. Specifically, referring to fig. 8, after step 705, the method may include:

706. the electronic device determines whether it is in a bright screen state.

If the electronic device is in the bright screen state, the electronic device executes step 707; if not, the electronic device proceeds to step 708.

707. The electronic device determines whether the distance sensor is occluded.

If the distance sensor is blocked, the electronic device executes step 709, and if the distance sensor is not blocked, the electronic device executes step 708.

708. The electronic device unmasks the touch event.

After step 708, the electronic device may continue to perform step 701 after the next detection period.

709. The electronic device determines whether the inverted posture is present.

If the gesture is the handstand gesture, the electronic device continues to execute step 705, keeps shielding the touch event, and continues to execute step 706 after the next detection period comes; if not, the electronic device performs step 708 to unmask the touch event.

For another example, similar to the method shown in fig. 7 or 8, the electronic device may determine whether the electronic device is in an inverted posture, determine whether the distance sensor is blocked, and determine whether the electronic device is in a bright screen state.

For example, similar to the method of first determining whether the electronic device is in the bright screen state shown in fig. 7, when the electronic device first determines whether the electronic device is in the inverted posture, referring to fig. 9, the method may include:

901. the electronic device determines whether the inverted posture is present.

If the gesture is inverted, the electronic device executes step 902; if not, the electronic device performs step 903.

902. The electronic device determines whether the distance sensor is occluded.

If not, go to step 903; if so, go to step 904.

903. The electronic equipment works normally.

904. The electronic device determines whether it is in a bright screen state.

If the screen is in the bright screen state, executing step 905; if not, go to step 903.

905. The electronic device masks the touch event.

Generally, since the electronic device is in a bright screen state in many cases (for example, when the user uses the electronic device normally, the electronic device is in a bright screen state), in the method shown in fig. 7 or 8, after determining the bright screen state, the electronic device needs to continuously determine whether the distance sensor is blocked and whether the distance sensor is in an inverted posture; however, the electronic device is in an inverted posture rarely (for example, the electronic device is put into a pocket, or the user holds the electronic device and walks normally), so the electronic device usually does not determine whether the electronic device is in the inverted posture and whether the electronic device is in a bright screen state continuously in the current period after determining that the distance sensor is not blocked in step 901. Therefore, the method shown in fig. 9 can save power consumption of the electronic device compared to the method shown in fig. 7 or 8.

It can be understood that the electronic device may also determine whether the electronic device is in an inverted posture, determine whether the electronic device is in a bright screen state, and then determine whether the distance sensor is blocked, which is not described herein again.

For another example, similar to the method shown in fig. 7 or 8, the electronic device may determine whether the distance sensor is occluded, determine whether the position is inverted, and determine whether the screen is in a bright state.

For example, similar to the method of first determining whether the distance sensor is in the bright screen state shown in fig. 7, when the electronic device first determines whether the distance sensor is blocked, referring to fig. 10, the method may include:

1001. the electronic device determines whether the distance sensor is occluded.

If the distance sensor is blocked, the electronic device executes step 1002, and if the distance sensor is not blocked, the electronic device executes step 1003.

1002. The electronic device determines whether the inverted posture is present.

If the posture is not the handstand posture, executing step 1003; if the inverted posture is true, step 1004 is executed.

1003. The electronic equipment works normally.

1004. The electronic device determines whether it is in a bright screen state.

If the screen is in the bright screen state, executing step 1005; if not, go to step 1003.

1005. The electronic device masks the touch event.

Generally, the distance sensor of the electronic device is less shielded (for example, the distance sensor is shielded by the face when the electronic device is put into a pocket or a phone call is made), so the electronic device usually determines that the distance sensor is not shielded in step 1001, and thus does not continue to determine whether the electronic device is in an inverted posture and whether the electronic device is in a bright screen state in the current detection period. Therefore, the method shown in step 1001-1005 can save the power consumption of the electronic device compared to the method shown in fig. 7 or fig. 8.

It can be understood that the electronic device may also determine whether the distance sensor is shielded, determine whether the distance sensor is in a bright screen state, and determine whether the distance sensor is in an inverted posture, which is not described herein again.

In other embodiments, when the electronic device is in the screen-off state, the electronic device may turn off the distance sensor and the posture sensor for detecting whether the electronic device is in the inverted posture; in the bright screen state, the electronic device may turn on the distance sensor and the attitude sensor to determine whether the distance sensor is obscured and whether the electronic device is in an inverted attitude, thereby periodically performing a method similar to that shown in any of fig. 7-10. The difference is that the electronic equipment can also turn on or off the distance sensor and the attitude sensor in the process of executing the method, so that the distance sensor and the attitude sensor are not in a normally open state, and the power consumption of the electronic equipment can be saved. Specifically, taking the method shown in fig. 7 executed by the electronic device as an example, in the current detection period, if the electronic device determines in step 701 that the electronic device is not in the bright screen state (for example, the electronic device is in the screen-off state or the AOD state), step 703 is executed, the electronic device keeps normal operation, and step 701 is executed again after waiting for the next detection period; in the current detection period, if the electronic device determines that the electronic device is in a bright screen state, the distance sensor may be turned on and step 702 is executed to determine whether the distance sensor is shielded; if the distance sensor is determined not to be shielded, executing step 703, closing the distance sensor, and executing step 701 again after waiting for the next detection period; if the distance sensor is determined to be shielded, the attitude sensor is turned on and step 704 is executed to determine whether the distance sensor is in an inverted attitude according to the attitude sensor; if the gesture is inverted, step 705 is executed, the touch event is shielded, the gesture sensor and the distance sensor are closed, and step 701 is executed again after the next detection period comes; if the gesture is not inverted, step 703 is executed to keep working normally, the gesture sensor is turned off, and step 701 is executed again after the next detection period comes.

In other embodiments, instead of periodically determining whether the three conditions are a bright screen state, whether the distance sensor is occluded, and whether the device is in an inverted position, the electronic device determines whether the three conditions are met upon receiving an interrupt event. The interrupt event may include a first interrupt event, a second interrupt event, or a third interrupt event corresponding to the three conditions, respectively. The first interrupt event is used for reporting that the bright screen state of the touch screen changes; the second interrupt event is used for reporting whether the distance sensor is shielded or not; and the third interrupt event is used for reporting the posture change of the electronic equipment.

For example, the first interrupt event may be an interrupt event of powering on the touch screen or powering off the touch screen, which is reported by a power management module of the touch screen, and if the touch screen is powered on, the electronic device is switched to a bright screen state; if the touch screen is powered off, the electronic equipment is switched to a screen-off state. The second interruption event can be an interruption event reported when the distance sensor is switched from non-shielded state to shielded state; from the second interrupt event, the electronic device can determine that the distance sensor is occluded. Or the second interrupt event may be an interrupt event reported when the distance sensor is changed from being shielded to being not shielded; from the second interrupt event, the electronic device can determine that the distance sensor is not occluded. The third interrupt event can be an interrupt event reported when the attitude sensor detects that the electronic equipment is changed from the inverted attitude to the non-inverted attitude; from the third interrupt event, the electronic device may determine a non-inverted posture. Or the third interrupt event may be an interrupt event reported when the posture sensor detects that the electronic device is changed from the non-inverted posture to the inverted posture; from the third interrupt event, the electronic device may determine an inverted posture.

In one scheme, the distance sensor and the gesture sensor are kept on, and the electronic device determines whether the three conditions in the shielding conditions are met simultaneously after detecting any interrupt event of the first interrupt event, the second interrupt event or the third interrupt event, so as to determine whether to shield the touch event.

In some embodiments, the first interrupt event includes interrupt event 1 or interrupt event 2. The interrupt event 1 is used for reporting that the touch screen is switched from the screen-off state to the screen-on state, for example, an interrupt event of powering on the touch screen. The electronic device may determine that the screen is currently in the bright state based on interrupt event 1. The interrupt event 2 is used for reporting that the touch screen is switched from a bright screen state to an off screen state, for example, an interrupt event of powering down the touch screen. The electronic device may determine that the screen-off state is currently in accordance with the interrupt event 2. The second interrupt event includes interrupt event 3 or interrupt event 4. The interrupt event 3 is used to report that the distance sensor is switched from being occluded to being occluded. The electronic device may determine from interrupt event 3 that the distance sensor is occluded. The interrupt event 4 is used to report that the distance sensor is switched from being occluded to not being occluded. The electronic device may determine from the interrupt event 4 that the distance sensor is not occluded. The third interrupt event includes interrupt event 5 or interrupt event 6. The interrupt event 5 is used for reporting that the electronic equipment is switched from the non-inverted posture to the inverted posture, and the electronic equipment can determine that the electronic equipment is the inverted posture currently according to the interrupt event 5. The interrupt event 6 is used for reporting that the electronic equipment is switched from the inverted posture to the non-inverted posture. The electronic device may determine from the interrupt event 6 that the non-inverted state is present. The electronic device determines whether the above-mentioned three conditions of the masking conditions are simultaneously satisfied after receiving any of the interrupt events 1 to 6, thereby determining whether to mask the touch event.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may determine whether to mask the touch event by determining whether the above three of the masking conditions are simultaneously satisfied after receiving any of interrupt event 1, interrupt event 3, or interrupt event 5.

Specifically, the electronic device may store a first identifier, a second identifier, and a third identifier. The first identifier is used for identifying whether the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state currently or not, and the electronic equipment can update the first identifier according to the received first interrupt event, so that the first identifier can identify whether the electronic equipment is in the bright screen state or the screen off state currently in real time. For example, if the electronic device detects an interrupt event 1, the first flag is set to a first state to represent a bright screen state; if the electronic device detects the interrupt event 2, the first flag is set to the second state to indicate the screen-off state. The second identifier is used for identifying whether the distance sensor is shielded or not, and the electronic device can update the first identifier according to the detected second interrupt event, so that the first identifier can identify whether the distance sensor is shielded currently or not in real time. For example, if the electronic device detects interrupt event 3, then the second flag is set to the first state to indicate that the distance sensor is occluded; if the electronic device detects the interrupt event 4, the second flag is set to a second state to indicate that the distance sensor is not blocked. The third identifier is used for identifying whether the electronic device is in an inverted posture or not, and the electronic device can update the third identifier according to the detected third interrupt event, so that the third identifier can identify whether the electronic device is in the inverted posture or in a non-inverted posture currently in real time. For example, if the electronic device detects an interrupt event 5, then the third flag is set to the first state to represent an inverted posture; if the electronic device detects the interrupt event 6, the third flag is set to the second state to represent a non-inverted posture.

In one case, after the electronic device is powered on, the first identifier, the second identifier and the third identifier are in a preset state. For example, the first flag preset state is a first state for representing as a bright screen state, the second flag preset state is a second state for representing that the distance sensor is not occluded, and the third flag preset state is a second state for representing as a non-inverted posture. And after receiving the first interrupt event, the second interrupt event or the third interrupt event, the electronic equipment updates the first identifier, the second identifier or the third identifier.

In another case, after the electronic device is powered on, the electronic device initializes the first identifier, the second identifier, and the third identifier. Specifically, after the electronic device is started, the electronic device can detect whether the current electronic device is in a bright screen state or not, and initialize the first identifier according to a detection result; the electronic equipment can detect whether the distance sensor is shielded or not and initialize a second identifier according to the detection result; the electronic equipment can also detect whether the gesture is inverted or not and initialize the third identification according to the detection result.

For example, in such an approach, if the electronic device receives a first interrupt event, the electronic device may determine whether to screen the touch event according to the first interrupt event, and determine whether the distance sensor is blocked and whether the electronic device is in an inverted posture. Specifically, if the electronic device determines that the screen is in the bright screen state according to the first interrupt event, the first identifier is updated so that the first identifier represents the bright screen state; and then, the electronic equipment reads the stored second identification and the stored third identification so as to determine whether the distance sensor is shielded according to the second identification and determine whether the electronic equipment is in an inverted posture according to the third identification.

For example, referring to fig. 7, the electronic device may determine whether the touch event is in a bright screen state in step 701 according to the first interrupt event, then execute step 702 and step 705 to determine whether the distance sensor is blocked, and then determine whether the touch event is in an inverted posture, thereby determining whether to block the touch event. For another example, referring to fig. 8, the electronic device may determine whether the touch event is in a bright screen state in step 701 or step 706 according to the first interrupt event, and then perform other steps to determine whether the distance sensor is blocked, and then determine whether the distance sensor is in an inverted posture, so as to determine whether to block the touch event or to cancel the blocking of the touch event.

For another example, in such an approach, if the electronic device receives a second interrupt event, the electronic device may determine whether the distance sensor is blocked according to the second interrupt event, and determine whether the distance sensor is in a bright screen state and whether the electronic device is in an inverted posture, so as to determine whether to block the touch event. Specifically, if the electronic device determines that the distance sensor is blocked according to the second interrupt event, the electronic device may update the second identifier so that the second identifier indicates that the distance sensor is blocked. And then, the electronic equipment reads the stored first identification and the third identification so as to determine whether the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state according to the first identification and determine whether the electronic equipment is in an inverted posture according to the third identification.

For example, referring to fig. 9, the electronic device may determine whether the distance sensor is blocked in step 901 according to the second interrupt event, then execute step 902-. It is understood that after the electronic device determines whether the distance sensor is shielded according to the second interrupt event, it may determine whether the distance sensor is in a bright screen state and then determine whether the distance sensor is in an inverted posture.

Similarly, if the electronic device receives a third interrupt event, the electronic device may determine whether the gesture is an inverted gesture according to the third interrupt event, update the third identifier, and determine whether the gesture is a bright screen state and whether the distance sensor is blocked according to the first identifier and the second identifier, so as to determine whether to block the touch event, which is not described herein again.

The above-described flow of fig. 7-10 may be performed upon receipt of any one of interrupt events 1-6, or upon receipt of any one of interrupt events 1,3, 5.

In another scheme, when the electronic device receives a first interrupt event and determines that the electronic device is in a bright screen state according to the first interrupt event, the electronic device may turn on the distance sensor and the attitude sensor, and then cyclically determine whether the distance sensor is blocked and whether the electronic device is in an inverted attitude. If the distance sensor is shielded and in an inverted posture, the electronic equipment shields the touch event; if the distance sensor is not shielded or is not in an inverted posture, the electronic device works normally or shielding touch events are cancelled. When the electronic equipment receives another first interrupt event and determines that the electronic equipment is not in a bright screen state according to the first interrupt event, the electronic equipment finishes whether the circulating distance sensor is shielded or not and whether the electronic equipment is in an inverted posture or not, the electronic equipment works normally, and the electronic equipment closes the distance sensor and the posture sensor so as to save the power consumption of the electronic equipment. In the process that the electronic equipment circularly determines whether the distance sensor is shielded and whether the electronic equipment is in the inverted posture, if the electronic equipment receives a second interrupt event, the electronic equipment can determine whether the distance sensor is shielded according to the second interrupt event and then determine whether the distance sensor is in the inverted posture; if the electronic equipment receives the third interrupt event, the electronic equipment determines whether the electronic equipment is in the inverted posture according to the third interrupt event, and then determines whether the distance sensor is shielded. It can be understood that, in the process of cyclically determining whether the distance sensor is shielded and the electronic device is in the inverted posture by the electronic device, whether the distance sensor is shielded and the inverted state are determined according to the triggering of the second interrupt event or the third interrupt event. For example, when an interrupt event 3 is received, the distance sensor is determined to be shielded, and the third identifier is read to judge whether the terminal is in an inverted state; or when an interrupt event 5 is received, the interrupt is determined to be in an inverted state, and the second identifier is read to judge whether the distance sensor is shielded.

In some embodiments, the first interrupt event comprises interrupt event 1 or interrupt event 2, the second interrupt event comprises interrupt event 3 or interrupt event 4, and the third interrupt event comprises interrupt event 5 or interrupt event 6.

In other embodiments, the first interrupt event is interrupt event 1, the second interrupt event is interrupt event 3, and the third interrupt event is interrupt event 5.

Specifically, the electronic device stores the first identifier, the second identifier, and the third identifier. Referring to fig. 11, if the electronic device determines that the screen is in a bright state according to the first interrupt event in step 1101, step 1102 is performed to turn on the distance sensor and the posture sensor. And the electronic equipment updates the first identifier according to the first interrupt event. Then, the electronic device circularly executes step 1103-1108 until the electronic device receives another first interrupt event (in step 1109), and determines that the electronic device is in the screen-off state according to the first interrupt event, the electronic device executes step 1110, closes the distance sensor and the attitude sensor, and the electronic device normally operates. After the step 1102, if the electronic device receives the second interrupt event, the processes shown in the steps 1103 and 1106 may be executed. And the electronic equipment determines whether to update the second identifier according to the second interrupt event and the saved second identifier. Specifically, if it is determined in step 1103 that the distance sensor is not shielded, the electronic device executes step 1105 and keeps working normally; if it is determined in step 1103 that the distance sensor is blocked, the electronic device performs step 1104 to determine whether the position is inverted. In step 1104, the electronic device can read the saved third identifier and determine whether the electronic device is in an inverted posture according to the third identifier. If the electronic device determines that the electronic device is not in the inverted posture in the step 1104, the electronic device executes the step 1105 and keeps working normally; if the inverted gesture is determined in step 1104, the electronic device performs step 1106 to mask touch events. Alternatively, after step 1102, if the electronic device receives the third interrupt event, the processes shown in step 1107, step 1108, step 1105 and step 1106 may be executed, which are not described herein again.

In other embodiments, taking fig. 7 as an example, after step 705, the method may further include: if the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state, a distance sensor of the electronic equipment is shielded, the electronic equipment is converted from an inverted posture into a non-inverted posture, and the duration time of the non-inverted posture of the electronic equipment is less than or equal to a first preset value, the electronic equipment keeps shielding a touch event; if the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state, the distance sensor of the electronic equipment is shielded, the electronic equipment is converted from the inverted posture into the non-inverted posture, and the duration time of the electronic equipment in the non-inverted posture is longer than a first preset value, the electronic equipment cancels shielding of the touch event. The first preset value is small, and may be specifically set according to actual needs, for example, 2 s. In one specific implementation, after steps 701-705, when the electronic device determines that the electronic device is switched from the inverted posture to the non-inverted posture according to the interrupt event of the posture sensor, the electronic device may start a timer to count the duration of the non-inverted posture, so as to determine the magnitude relationship between the duration of the non-inverted posture and the first preset value, and further determine whether to keep shielding or cancel shielding the touch event.

That is to say, after the electronic device shields the touch event, under the condition that the electronic device is in a bright screen state and the distance sensor is shielded, if the electronic device has an inverted posture and is temporarily switched to a non-inverted posture and then quickly returns to the inverted posture, the electronic device does not cancel the shielding of the touch event when the electronic device is temporarily switched to the non-inverted posture, so that frequent shielding and cancellation of the shielding of the touch event can be avoided, and the power consumption of the mobile phone is saved.

For example, if the mobile phone is in the wrist bag on the arm of the user, the posture of the mobile phone in the wrist bag changes in real time along with the swinging of the arm during the walking or running process of the user. However, in the process of swinging the arm of the user, the mobile phone is usually in an inverted posture and is in a non-inverted state only at a moment, that is, the mobile phone only continues to return to the inverted posture after a short time (the time is less than a first preset value) after being switched from the inverted posture to the non-inverted posture. Therefore, when the user walks or runs, the electronic equipment can shield the touch event when the mobile phone is in a bright screen state, the distance sensor of the mobile phone is shielded, and the mobile phone is in an inverted posture; under the condition that the mobile phone is in a bright screen state, the distance sensor of the mobile phone is shielded, and the mobile phone is in an inverted posture for a short time (namely the duration of the non-inverted posture of the mobile phone is less than a first preset value), the mobile phone can keep shielding the touch event, so that the situation that the touch event is frequently shielded and canceled to shield in the motion process of walking, running and the like of a user can be avoided, and the power consumption of the mobile phone is reduced.

It should be noted that after the electronic device masks a touch event, if the electronic device is in a bright screen state, the distance sensor of the electronic device is blocked, and the electronic device is converted from the inverted posture to the non-inverted posture, the electronic device determines to keep or cancel the masking of the touch event according to the duration of the non-inverted posture, and the scheme is not only applicable to the embodiment corresponding to fig. 7, but also applicable to other embodiments, for example, the embodiments corresponding to any one of fig. 8 to 11, and details are not repeated here.

In other embodiments, step 704 may be replaced with: the electronic equipment determines whether the duration of the electronic equipment in the inverted posture is greater than a second preset value within a third preset duration before the current moment. If yes, go to step 705; if not, go to step 703. Alternatively, the above step 704 may be replaced by: the electronic equipment determines that the duration of the electronic equipment in the non-inverted posture is less than or equal to a third preset value within a third preset duration before the current moment. If yes, go to step 705; if not, go to step 703. The second preset value can be larger, the third preset value can be smaller, and the third preset value is smaller than the second preset value. Namely, if the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state; a distance sensor of the electronic device is shielded; and in a third preset time before the current moment, if the time length of the electronic equipment in the inverted posture is greater than the second preset value or the time length of the electronic equipment in the non-inverted posture is less than the third preset value, the electronic equipment shields the touch event or keeps shielding the touch event.

In a specific implementation, the electronic device may store whether the posture of the electronic device is an inverted posture or a non-inverted posture in real time through the memory, and after the electronic device receives an interrupt event of the posture sensor, the electronic device may query the posture of the electronic device within a third preset time before the current time from the memory, so as to count the time length that the electronic device is in the inverted posture or the time length that the electronic device is in the non-inverted posture within the third preset time, and further determine a size relationship between the time length that the electronic device is in the inverted posture and a second preset value, or determine a size relationship between the time length that the electronic device is in the non-inverted posture and a third preset value, thereby determining whether to keep shielding or cancel shielding of the touch event. For example, the third preset time period may be 30s, the second preset value may be 25s, and the third preset value may be 5 s.

That is, after the electronic device shields the touch event, if the electronic device is in a bright screen state, the distance sensor of the electronic device is shielded, and the electronic device is temporarily switched to an inverted state; however, within a third preset time before the current time, if the time length of the electronic device in the inverted posture is greater than the second preset value, or the time length of the electronic device in the non-inverted posture is less than the third preset value, that is, the electronic device is in the inverted posture in most of the third preset time before the current time, the electronic device can keep shielding the touch event without immediately canceling the touch shielding event, so that frequent shielding and cancellation of shielding of the touch event can be avoided, and the power consumption of the mobile phone is reduced.

Illustratively, the phone is in the user's pocket, and when the user goes up stairs, the phone is shaken in the pocket, and the posture of the phone is dynamically changed, but most of the time the phone is still in an inverted posture. When the mobile phone is in a bright screen state, the distance sensor of the mobile phone is shielded, and most of the time of the mobile phone within a third preset time before the current time is in an inverted posture, the mobile phone shields the touch event or keeps shielding the touch event. Referring to fig. 12, in a time period t1, the mobile phone is in an inverted posture, and a touch event is shielded; during the time period t2, the electronic device is in a non-inverted posture, and the mobile phone is in an inverted posture for most of the time within the time period t2 according to the third preset time period before, so that the mobile phone continues to shield the touch event at the current moment without canceling the shielding of the touch event. Therefore, the touch event can be prevented from being frequently shielded and canceled in the process of climbing stairs of a user, and the power consumption of the mobile phone is saved.

In other embodiments, the step 300 may specifically include: when the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state, the distance sensor of the electronic equipment is shielded, the electronic equipment is in an inverted posture, and the electronic equipment is in a vertical screen display state, the electronic equipment shields touch events. The specific processing procedure is similar to the method flows shown in fig. 7 to fig. 11, except that in this embodiment, the shielding condition is added with a condition that "the electronic device is in a vertical screen display state" on the basis of the three conditions. Similar to the method flows shown in fig. 7-10, the electronic device may periodically detect whether the electronic device satisfies a bright screen state, a distance sensor of the electronic device is blocked, the electronic device is in an inverted posture, and the electronic device is in a vertical screen display state, and shield a touch event when the four conditions are satisfied; if any one of the four conditions is not met and the electronic equipment does not shield the touch event currently, the electronic equipment keeps working normally; if any one of the four conditions is not met and the electronic equipment currently shields the touch event, the electronic equipment cancels shielding of the touch event and restores normal operation. The electronic device may further determine whether the four conditions are met after receiving the interrupt event corresponding to any of the four conditions, so as to determine whether to mask the touch event, which is not described herein.

The horizontal screen display is usually displayed in a full screen state, and a schematic diagram of the horizontal screen display can be seen in fig. 13; the vertical screen display may be in a full screen state or a non-full screen state, and a schematic diagram of the vertical screen display may be shown in fig. 14.

In the scheme, if the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state, a distance sensor of the electronic equipment is shielded, the electronic equipment is in an inverted posture, and when the electronic equipment is in a vertical screen display state, the electronic equipment shields a touch event; if the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state, the distance sensor of the electronic equipment is shielded, the electronic equipment is in an inverted posture, and the electronic equipment is in a horizontal screen display state, the electronic equipment does not shield a touch event, and the electronic equipment works normally. Thus, in the scene shown in fig. 15, in which the user lies on his side and plays a game with the mobile phone in the landscape screen or looks at a video in the landscape screen, the hand of the user may block the distance sensor, the electronic device is in the bright screen state, and the electronic device is in the inverted posture, but the electronic device is not in the portrait screen display state but in the landscape screen display state, so that the electronic device does not shield a touch event but keeps working normally, so that the user can play a game or look at a video normally.
