Additionally, while functional block divisions are performed in apparatus schematics, with logical sequences shown in flowcharts, in some cases, steps shown or described may be performed in sequences other than block divisions in apparatus or flowcharts. In addition, the words "first", "second", "third", and the like used herein do not limit the data and execution order, but merely distinguish the same items or similar items having substantially the same functions and actions.

Referring to fig. 1, a method S100 for controlling keyboard backlight according to an embodiment of the present application is applied to a computer system, where the computer system includes a keyboard, the keyboard includes a plurality of keys, and each of the plurality of keys is configured with a backlight source.

The method S100 includes:

step S10, identifying a preset target program running in the foreground of the computer system.

In step S10, the preset target program may be an application installed in the computer system, for example, an application such as autoscad, PHOTOSHOP, etc. The preset target program can also be an initial program of a computer system, such as a calculator, a photo viewer and the like. In the examples of the present application, PHOTOSHOP is taken as an example for explanation.

Step S20, acquiring shortcut key information matched with the preset target program;

in step S20, the preset target program is provided with a number of shortcut keys. The shortcut key, also called as a shortcut key or a hot key, means that an operation is completed through some specific keys, key sequences or key combinations, and the shortcut key can be used for replacing a mouse to control the operation of a preset target program. For example, in the default configuration of PHOTOSHOP, the operation of "gripper tool" is performed by PHOTOSHOP by pressing the "H" button, the operation of "cut" is performed by PHOTOSHOP by pressing the "F2" button, and the operation of "display additional content" is performed by PHOTOSHOP by pressing the "Ctrl" button and the "H" button. The shortcut key information includes keys included in the shortcut key.

Step S30: classifying the keys of the keyboard according to the shortcut key information;

in step S30, the keys on the keyboard may be categorized according to the keys included in the shortcut keys, or may be categorized according to the key sequence of the shortcut keys. For example, the keys involved in the shortcut are classified into one category, and the keys not involved in the shortcut are classified into another category.

Step S40: and controlling the backlight brightness of the key according to the category of the key.

In step S40, the backlight brightness of the keys is controlled, including turning the backlight of the keys on, turning the backlight of the keys off, and turning the backlight of the keys on. And controlling the backlight brightness of the keys according to the categories of the keys, for example, turning on the backlight of the key related to the shortcut key and turning off the backlight of the keys not related to the shortcut key.

Through steps S10 to S40, the backlight brightness of the keys of the keyboard can be controlled according to the shortcut key information of the preset object program, thereby implementing a backlight control method for diversifying the backlight display of the keyboard.

In some embodiments of the present application, the step S10, identifying the preset target program running in the foreground of the computer system includes: and pre-establishing a label associated with the target preset program, and identifying the preset target program according to the label.

The label may be a type of the preset target program, for example, the preset target program is a word processing program, such as word and wps, and the preset target program is an image processing program, such as PHOTOSHOP and picasa. The preset object programs of the same type generally have a universal shortcut key, and the efficiency of acquiring the shortcut key information in step S20 can be improved by identifying the preset object program by the type of the preset object program. The tag may also be a version number of the preset target program, for example, the PHOTOSHOP software has multiple versions, but default shortcut keys of different versions of PHOTOSHOP are basically the same, and the efficiency of acquiring the shortcut key information in step S20 may also be improved by identifying the preset target program version.

In some embodiments of the present application, the step S20, the acquiring the shortcut key information matched with the preset target program includes: and detecting whether a user-defined configuration file of a preset target program exists, if so, reading the user-defined configuration file to acquire shortcut key information matched with the preset target program, and if not, reading a default configuration file of the preset target program to acquire the shortcut key information matched with the preset target program.

Typically, the user-defined configuration files are stored in the user's folder, typically in text form. For example, in the default configuration of PHOTOSHOP, a user-defined configuration file for PHOTOSHOP is stored in the Users file of the system.

Therefore, the shortcut key currently applied by the preset target program can be obtained, and the problem that the obtained shortcut key information is not completely matched with the preset target program due to the fact that the user defines the shortcut key is solved.

In some other embodiments of the present application, the step S20, the acquiring the shortcut key information matched with the preset target program includes: and pre-establishing a shortcut key information base, and extracting shortcut key information matched with a preset target program from the shortcut key information base.

In some embodiments of the present application, the shortcut key information includes a plurality of shortcut keys, each shortcut key including at least one key.

Step S30, the classifying the keys of the keyboard according to the shortcut key information includes: the keys on the keyboard to which a number of said shortcut keys relate are classified into a first category and the remaining keys of the keyboard, i.e. the keys on the keyboard to which the shortcut keys do not relate, are classified into a second category.

For example, in the default configuration of the PHOTOSHOP, the shortcut keys for controlling the PHOTOSHOP to perform the "gripper" operation include an "H" key, the shortcut keys for controlling the PHOTOSHOP to perform the "cut" operation include an "F2" key, and the shortcut keys for controlling the PHOTOSHOP to perform the "display additional content" operation include an "Ctrl" key and an "H", and the three shortcut keys are the "H" key, an "F2" key and an "Ctrl" key.

Step S40, the controlling the backlight brightness of the key according to the category of the key includes: and turning off the backlight of the key belonging to the second category.

Because the keys which are not related to the shortcut keys are not basically used in the target program operated in the foreground, the backlight of the keys which are not related to the shortcut keys is turned off, and the keys which are related to the shortcut keys can be favorably positioned by a user.

In some embodiments of the present application, some of the shortcut keys include a key, for example, in a default configuration of PHOTOSHOP, the shortcut key for controlling PHOTOSHOP to perform a "gripper" operation includes an "H" key, and the shortcut key for controlling PHOTOSHOP to perform a "cut" operation includes an "F2" key. Some shortcut keys include more than one key, for example, in the default configuration of PHOTOSHOP, the shortcut key used to control PHOTOSHOP to perform "show additional content" includes a "Ctrl" key and an "H" key. In addition, if more than one key included in the shortcut key is needed, the keys included in the shortcut key need to be pressed down in a specific order to control the preset target program to execute corresponding operations. For example, in the default configuration of PHOTOSHOP, if it is necessary to control the PHOTOSHOP to perform the operation of "display additional content", the "Ctrl" key needs to be pressed first, and the "H" key is pressed again if the "Ctrl" key is not released, so that the control of the PHOTOSHOP to perform the operation of "display additional content" is possible.

Step S30, the classifying the keys of the keyboard according to the shortcut key information further includes: the keys belonging to the first category are categorized into a first sub-category and a second sub-category.

Therefore, if a shortcut key only comprises one key, the key contained in the shortcut key is classified into the first sub-category. For example, in the default configuration of PHOTOSHOP, the shortcut key for controlling PHOTOSHOP to perform the "grab tool" operation only includes the "H" key, the shortcut key for controlling PHOTOSHOP to perform the "cut" operation only includes the "F2" key, and the "H" key and the "F2" key are categorized into the first sub-category. If a shortcut key comprises more than one key, classifying the key of the shortcut key needing to be pressed first as a first sub-category, and classifying the rest keys of the shortcut key as a second sub-category. For example, in the default configuration of PHOTOSHOP, the shortcut key for controlling the PHOTOSHOP to perform the operation of "display additional content" includes a "Ctrl" key and an "H" key, and if the "display additional content" operation is to be performed by the PHOTOSHOP, the "Ctrl" key needs to be pressed first, and the "H" key is pressed again if the "Ctrl" key is not released, so as to control the PHOTOSHOP to perform the operation of "display additional content". Thus, the "Ctrl" key is the first key that needs to be pressed, and the "H" key is the second key that needs to be pressed.

Step S40, the controlling the backlight brightness of the key according to the category of the key further includes: and controlling the backlight of the key belonging to the first sub-category to be turned on, and controlling the backlight of the key belonging to the second sub-category to be turned off.

Therefore, the backlight of the key which only comprises one shortcut key is turned on, the key which only comprises one shortcut key is convenient for a user to locate, the backlight of the key which needs to be pressed first and comprises more than one shortcut key is turned on, and the backlight of the key which needs to be pressed second and is convenient for the user to locate the key which needs to be pressed first and comprises the shortcut key is turned off.

In some embodiments of the application, there are shortcut keys, the second key of which needs to be pressed, i.e. belonging to the first sub-category, and also belonging to the second sub-category. For example, in the default configuration of the PHOTOSHOP, the shortcut key for controlling the PHOTOSHOP to execute the operation of the "gripper tool" only includes the "H" key, at this time, the "H" key belongs to the first sub-category, and the shortcut key for controlling the PHOTOSHOP to execute the operation of "display additional content" includes the "Ctrl" key and the "H" key, if the PHOTOSHOP is to execute the operation of "display additional content", the "Ctrl" key needs to be pressed first, and the "H" key is pressed again under the condition that the "Ctrl" key is not loosened, so that the PHOTOSHOP can be controlled to execute the operation of "display additional content". Thus, the "H" key is the second key that needs to be pressed, and "H" also belongs to the second sub-category.

The controlling of the backlight of the keys belonging to the first sub-category to be turned on and the controlling of the backlight of the keys belonging to the second sub-category to be turned off comprises: if a key belongs to the first sub-category and the second sub-category, the backlight of the key is controlled to be turned on.

Thus, it is possible to avoid turning off the backlight of keys of shortcut keys that contain only one key.

In some embodiments of the present application, the step S40, the controlling the backlight brightness of the key according to the category of the key further includes: and if detecting that one key belonging to the first sub-category is pressed, controlling the backlight of at least one key belonging to the second sub-category to be turned on.

And if detecting that one key of the first sub-category is pressed, controlling the backlight of the key which belongs to the second sub-category and can form a shortcut key with the key to be turned on. For example, in the default configuration of PHOTOSHOP, the shortcut key for controlling the PHOTOSHOP to perform the operation of "zoom by screen size" includes a "Ctrl" key and a "0" key, wherein if the "zoom by screen size" operation is to be performed by the PHOTOSHOP, the "Ctrl" key needs to be pressed first, and the "0" key is pressed again under the condition that the "Ctrl" key is pressed, so that the PHOTOSHOP can be controlled to perform the operation of "zoom by screen size", and the "0" key only belongs to the second sub-category, and at this time, the backlight of the "0" key is turned off. In addition, the shortcut key for controlling the PHOTOSHOP to execute the operation of "zooming the drawing board according to the screen size" includes a "Ctrl" key and a "1" key, if the control of the PHOTOSHOP to execute the operation of "zooming the drawing board according to the screen size" is required, the "Ctrl" key needs to be pressed first, and the "1" key is pressed under the condition that the "Ctrl" key is pressed, so that the control of the PHOTOSHOP to execute the operation of "zooming the drawing board according to the screen size" can be realized, and the "1" key only belongs to the second sub-category, at this time, the backlight of the "1" key is turned off. When the Ctrl key is pressed down, the backlight of the 0 key and the backlight of the 1 key are turned on, so that a user can be guided to press down the correct key to complete the operation of pressing down the shortcut key.

In some embodiments of the present application, the step S40, the controlling the backlight brightness of the key according to the category of the key further includes: and if the key of the first sub-category is detected to be pressed, controlling the backlight of the rest at least one key of the first sub-category to be turned off.

If it is detected that a key belonging to the first sub-category is pressed, the backlight of the key belonging to the first sub-category and which cannot form a shortcut with the key is turned off. For example, in the default configuration of PHOTOSHOP, the shortcut key for controlling the PHOTOSHOP to perform the operation of "zoom by screen size" includes a "Ctrl" key and a "0" key, the shortcut key for controlling the PHOTOSHOP to perform the operation of "cut" includes a "F2" key, the "Ctrl" key and the "F2" key all belong to the first sub-category, but the "Ctrl" key and the "F2" key cannot constitute the shortcut key, and when the "Ctrl" key is pressed, the backlight of the "F2" key is turned off, so that the user can be guided to press the correct key to complete the operation of pressing the shortcut key.

In some embodiments of the present application, the step S40, the controlling the backlight brightness of the key according to the category of the key further includes: and if more than one key of the first sub-category is detected to be pressed, controlling the backlight of the rest keys of the first sub-category to be turned off.

Some shortcut keys include more than two shortcut keys, for example, in the default configuration of the PHOTOSHOP, the shortcut key for controlling the PHOTOSHOP to perform the operation of "displaying the target path" includes a "Shift" key, a "Ctrl" key and an "H" key, wherein one of the "Shift" key and the "Ctrl" key needs to be pressed first, and then the other of the "Shift" key and the "Ctrl" key and the "H" key need to be pressed, or the "Shift" key and the "Ctrl" key are pressed at the same time first, and then the "H" key is pressed, so as to control the PHOTOSHOP to perform the operation of "displaying the target path". The Shift key and the Ctrl key both belong to the first sub-category, and when the Shift key and the Ctrl key are both pressed, the backlight of the remaining keys belonging to the first sub-category is turned off, which is beneficial for the user to locate the keys of the second sub-category, such as the H key.

Referring to fig. 2, another embodiment of the present application provides a notebook computer 200, which includes a wireless communication unit 211, an audio/video input unit 212, a keyboard 213, a sensing unit 214, an output unit 215, a display unit 216, an interface unit 217, a memory 218, and a controller 219.

For example, the wireless communication unit 211 includes a broadcast receiving module, a mobile communication module, a wireless internet module, a short-range communication module, and a location information module.

The broadcast receiving module receives a broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information from an external broadcast management server via a broadcast channel. The broadcast receiving module may receive a digital broadcast signal using a digital broadcasting system such as terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB-T), satellite digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB-S), media forward link only (MediaFLO), digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H), or terrestrial integrated services digital broadcasting (ISDB-T). It should be noted that the broadcast receiving module may be included to be suitable not only for the above-described digital broadcasting system but also for other broadcasting systems. The broadcast signal and/or the broadcast associated information received through the broadcast receiving module may also be stored in the memory.

The mobile communication module transmits or may receive a wireless signal to or from at least one of a base station, an external terminal, and a server on a mobile communication network. Here, the wireless signal may include a voice call signal, a video call signal, or various forms of data according to the reception and transmission of the character/multimedia message.

The wireless internet module refers to a module for wireless internet connection, and may be built in or out of the terminal. Wireless internet technologies such as wireless lan (wlan) (Wi-Fi), wireless broadband (Wibro), worldwide interoperability for microwave access (Wimax), High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) may be used.

The short-range communication module refers to a module for performing short-range communication. Short range communication technologies such as Bluetooth (Bluetooth), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), infrared data association (IrDA), Ultra Wideband (UWB), or ZigBee may be used. The location information module is a module for obtaining the location of the notebook computer 200, such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) module.

In addition, the audio/video input unit 212 is used to input an audio signal or a video signal, and may include a camera and a microphone (microphone). In the video call mode or the photographing mode, the camera processes a still image or a video frame such as a moving picture obtained by the image sensor. The processed video frame may be displayed on the display unit 216. The video frames processed by the camera may be stored in the memory or may be transmitted to the outside through the wireless communication unit. Two or more cameras may be included depending on the user environment.

The microphone receives an external sound signal through the microphone in a call mode, a recording mode, or a voice recognition mode, and processes the sound signal into electric voice data. For the call mode, the processed sound data may be converted into a format capable of being transmitted to a mobile communication base station through a mobile communication module to be output. In the microphone, various noise removal algorithms for removing noise generated during reception of an external sound signal may be implemented.

The keypad 213 generates input data for controlling the operation of the terminal by the user. The keyboard may include, for example, a fingerprint module, a keyboard, a dome switch, a touch pad (constant voltage/constant current), a jog wheel (jog wheel), or a jog switch (jog switch). The keypad 213 may include an identification module selection switch for generating a selection signal for selecting a specific identification module among a plurality of selection modules. The fingerprint module can be fingerprint module or side screen fingerprint module on for fingerprint module, the screen under the screen.

The sensing unit 214 may detect a current state of the notebook computer 200, such as an open/close state of the notebook computer 200, a position of the terminal, whether contact with a user, a direction of the terminal, or acceleration/deceleration of the notebook computer 200, to generate a sensing signal for controlling an operation of the terminal. In addition, whether the power supply unit supplies power or whether an external device is connected to the interface unit may be sensed. The sensing unit may include, for example, a touch sensor and a proximity sensor. The touch sensor is a sensor for detecting a touch operation. For example, the touch sensor may have the form of a touch film, a touch sheet, or a touch unit.

The touch sensor may have an interlayer structure (hereinafter, referred to as a "touch screen") together with the display unit. The touch sensor may be configured to convert a pressure applied to a specific portion of the display unit or a change in capacitance generated at the specific portion of the display unit into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect not only a position and an area of a touch but also a pressure of the touch. When there is a touch input on the touch sensor, a signal (or signals) corresponding thereto is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal(s) and then sends corresponding data to the controller. Thus, the controller may determine which region of the display unit is touched.

A proximity sensor refers to a sensor for detecting the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface or existing in the vicinity using a force in an electromagnetic field or infrared light without mechanical contact. In addition, proximity sensors have a longer lifetime and higher utility than contact sensors.

Examples of the proximity sensor include a transmission type photosensor, a direct reflection type photosensor, a mirror reflection type photosensor, a high-frequency oscillation type proximity sensor, a capacitance type proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared light proximity sensor. When the touch screen is capacitive, the touch screen is configured to detect the proximity of a pointer by a change in an electric field due to the proximity of the pointer. In this case, the touch screen (touch sensor) may be classified as a proximity sensor.

The proximity sensor detects a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (e.g., a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, a proximity touch movement, etc.). Information corresponding to the detected proximity touch and the proximity touch pattern may be output on the touch screen.

The output unit 215 is used to generate an output related to a visual sense, an auditory sense, or a touch, and may include a sound output module, an alarm unit, and a haptic module.

The sound output module may output audio data received from the wireless communication unit or output audio data stored in the memory upon receiving a call signal in a call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, or a broadcast reception mode. The voice output module may output a voice signal (e.g., a voice of receiving a call signal, a voice of receiving a message, etc.) related to a certain function performed by the notebook computer 200. The sound output module may include a receiver, a speaker, or a buzzer.

The alarm unit outputs a signal for notifying the occurrence of an event of the terminal. Examples of events occurring in the notebook computer 200 include a call signal being received, a message being received, a key signal input, and a touch input. The alarm unit may output a signal other than a video signal or an audio signal, for example, a signal notifying occurrence of an event by vibration. The video signal or the audio signal may be output through the display unit or the sound output module. Thus, the display unit or the sound output module may be classified as a part of the alarm unit.

The haptic module generates various haptic effects that a user can feel. A typical example of a haptic effect generated by a haptic module is vibration. The intensity and pattern of the vibrations generated by the haptic module may be controlled. For example, different vibrations may be output synthetically or sequentially.

The haptic module may generate various haptic effects other than vibration, such as the effects of various stimuli: for example, an array of pins that move vertically with respect to the skin-contacting surface, air jet or suction through an orifice or suction hole, rubbing across the skin surface, contact of electrodes, or electrostatic forces and the use of elements that can absorb or release heat to reproduce the effects of cold and heat.

The haptic module can not only transmit a haptic effect by a direct touch but also implement a haptic effect by, for example, a muscle sense of a finger or an arm of a user. Two or more haptic modules may be provided according to the type of formation of the terminal.

The display unit 216 displays information processed by the notebook computer 900. For example, when the terminal is in a call mode, a User Interface (UI) or a Graphic User Interface (GUI) related to a call is displayed. When the terminal is in a video call mode or a photographing mode, photographed and/or received images, a UI or a GUI are displayed.

The display unit 216 may include at least one of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD), an organic light emitting diode display (OLED), a flexible display, and a three-dimensional (3D) display.

There may be two or more display units depending on the implementation form of the terminal. For example, in a terminal, a plurality of displays may be separately or integrally arranged on a surface, or respectively arranged on different surfaces.

The interface unit 217 performs a function of a path connecting all external devices to the terminal. The interface unit receives data from an external device, is supplied with power and transfers power to each element within the terminal, or transmits data within the terminal to the external device. For example, a wired/wireless headset port, an external charger port, a wired/wireless data port, a memory card port, a port for connecting to a device having an identification module, an audio input/output (I/O) port, a video input/output (I/O) port, and a headset port may be included in the interface unit.

The identification module is a chip storing various information for authenticating a user's access to the terminal, and may include a User Identity Module (UIM), a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), and a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM). A device having an identification module (hereinafter referred to as "identification device") may be manufactured in the form of a smart card. Thus, the identification device may be connected with the terminal via the port.
