In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the key operation acts on the flexible screen, the flexible screen conducts the pressure acting on the flexible screen by the key operation to the pressure sensing module, and the pressure sensing module can generate an electric signal based on the pressure, so that the control module can execute the key function of the key module based on the electric signal.
That is to say, this disclosed embodiment can realize the button function that the button module corresponds based on the forced induction module between flexible screen and the equipment dorsal scale senses user's button operation for can realize the function of switching on and shutting down or adjusting the volume through pressing down flexible screen, satisfy terminal equipment's an organic whole nature demand.
In one embodiment, the key module is in a first sensing mode when the flexible screen is in a lighting state, and the key module in the first sensing mode reports the key operation to the control module when detecting that a parameter value of the key operation acting on the flexible screen meets a first preset condition;
the key module is in the second response mode when the flexible screen is in the state of extinguishing, and the key module that is in under the second response mode reports the key operation to the control module group when detecting the parameter value that acts on the key operation of flexible screen and satisfies the second and predetermine the condition.
The flexible screen has an illuminated state and an extinguished state. When the flexible screen is in a lighting state, the flexible screen displays information; when the flexible screen is in the off state, the flexible screen does not display information. When the flexible screen is in a lighting state, two conditions may exist when acting on the flexible screen, namely acting on a display button on the flexible screen to execute a corresponding button function; the other is acting on the key module under the flexible screen to execute the key function corresponding to the key module. When the flexible screen is in the state of extinguishing, the flexible screen can not show information, consequently, the flexible screen under acting on the state of extinguishing means to trigger the button module under the flexible screen.
Based on this, in order to distinguish whether the flexible screen that acts on under the lighting state is the trigger button module, the button module of this disclosure embodiment has two kinds of response modes. The flexible screen has the second response mode when being in the state of extinguishing, and at this moment, the button module that is in under the second response mode needs to report the control module group to the button operation that satisfies the second preset condition. The flexible screen has a first induction mode when being in a lighting state, and at the moment, the key module in the first induction mode needs to upload key operation meeting a first preset condition to the control module.
In this disclosure, the second preset condition may be that a parameter value of the key operation is greater than a critical value of the key module trigger detection, where the key module can detect the key operation only when the parameter value of the key operation is greater than the critical value, and otherwise, the key module cannot detect the key operation. The first preset condition may be that a parameter value of the key operation is greater than a first threshold, the first threshold is greater than a critical value of the key module trigger detection, and the first threshold is used for distinguishing whether the key operation is used for triggering a key function corresponding to the key module or is applied to display information on the flexible screen. And when the parameter value of the operation parameter is larger than the first threshold value, determining that the key operation is used for triggering the key function corresponding to the key module.
For example, when the key module is a pressure sensing module, the parameter value may be a pressure value. This key module triggers critical value that detects can set up according to the sensitivity of key module design, and this first threshold value can set up according to actual need, for example, key module triggers critical value that detects can set up at 0.5 ox or 0.8 ox, and first threshold value can set up to 5 ox or 6 ox, and this disclosed embodiment does not put a limit on.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the key module can execute different reporting operations in different sensing modes, so that flexible reporting can be realized based on different screen states of the terminal device, and meanwhile, when the flexible screen is in a lighting state, all detected key operations are not reported to the control module for processing, so that the processing times of the control module in the terminal device can be reduced, and further, the power consumption of the terminal device is reduced.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, in order to further better realize the key function of the key module and reduce the misoperation of the key module in the terminal equipment, the key operation can be reported to the control module under the condition that the key operation does not belong to the misoperation. It should be noted that determining whether the key operation is in error operation includes: detecting operation parameters corresponding to key operation acting on the flexible screen; and when the operation parameter indicates that the key module is triggered, determining that the key operation does not belong to misoperation.
That is to say, in the process of reporting the key operation to the control module, the sensing mode of the key module and the operation parameters corresponding to the key operation acting on the flexible screen can be judged firstly; and determining a mode of reporting key operation based on the induction mode and the operation parameters. For example, when the operation parameter indicates that the key module is not triggered, the key module does not report to the control module; when the induction mode of the key module is in a first induction mode and the operation parameter indicates that the key module is triggered, the key module reports the key operation when the detected parameter value meets a first preset condition to the control module; when the induction mode of the key module is in the second induction mode and the operation parameter indicates that the key module is triggered, the key module reports the key operation when the detected parameter value meets the second preset condition to the control module.
The operation parameters comprise operation positions and operation areas of the flexible screen acted by key operation; and when the operation position is in the region of the flexible screen corresponding to the key module and the operation area is smaller than a second threshold value, determining that the operation parameter indicates that the key module is triggered.
In the process of actually using the terminal device, a multi-finger operation or a phenomenon that the palm touches the flexible screen may occur. The capacitance signal of the operation position of the different operation mode is changed, so that the embodiment of the disclosure can determine the operation area by detecting the change amount of the capacitance signal acting on the operation position by the key operation, and further determine whether the key operation is a misoperation. And when the operation area corresponding to the operation position is smaller than a second threshold value, namely the key operation is a single-finger operation, determining that the operation parameter indicates that the key module is triggered.
It should be noted that the second threshold may be set according to an area of the flexible screen acted on by a single finger, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal device further comprises a detection module, when the flexible screen is in a lighting state, the detection module located under the flexible screen is in a working state, has a detection function, and can detect an operation parameter acting on the flexible screen; when the flexible screen is in the state of extinguishing, the flexible screen does not display information, and the detection module positioned under the flexible screen is in a non-working state and does not have a detection function. Therefore, when detecting the malfunction, it is necessary to determine whether the flexible screen is in a bright state or in a extinguished state. When the flexible screen is in a lighting state, the operation parameters of key operation can be directly detected based on the detection module; when the flexible screen is in the off state, the detection function of the detection module needs to be triggered at the moment so as to determine misoperation.
It should be noted that, when the flexible screen is in the off state, the motion parameter of the terminal device needs to be detected first, and when the motion parameter of the terminal device indicates that the terminal device has entered the used state or will enter the used state, the detection function of the detection module is triggered, and then the operation parameter corresponding to the key operation is detected based on the detection module.
In one embodiment, the control module is further configured to control the key module to enter a first sensing mode when the key module senses a key operation of the flexible screen in a lit state;
and/or when the key module senses the key operation of the flexible screen in the extinguishing state, controlling the key module to enter a second sensing mode. It should be noted that, in the actual operation process of the terminal device, the lighting state and the extinguishing state of the flexible screen are constantly changed, and therefore, the sensing mode of the key module needs to be adjusted based on the changed lighting state and extinguishing state of the flexible screen. When the key module senses that the flexible screen is in key operation in a lighting state, entering a first sensing mode; and when the key module senses that the flexible screen is in key operation in the off state, entering a second sensing mode.
In another embodiment, the control module is further configured to determine a current sensing mode of the key module, and control the key module to enter the current sensing mode, so that the key module detects a key operation in the current sensing mode, where the current sensing mode is a first sensing mode or a second sensing mode.
For example, when the terminal device is in a shutdown state and the key module with the power switch function is acted, the control module determines that the flexible screen is in a turned-off state and controls the key module to enter a second induction mode. At the moment, the key module in the second sensing mode detects key operation, and when the parameter value of the key operation is detected to meet a second preset condition, the key operation with the parameter value meeting the second preset condition is reported to the control module of the terminal equipment, so that the control module executes a starting function based on the reported key operation, and the terminal equipment is switched from a shutdown state to a startup state. Therefore, the key function corresponding to the key module can be realized by detecting the key operation conducted by the flexible screen.
Further, the terminal device further includes:
the detection module is used for detecting the motion parameters of the terminal equipment;
and the control module is connected with the detection module and is specifically used for controlling the key module to enter a second induction mode when the key module senses that the flexible screen is in key operation in an off state and the motion parameters of the terminal equipment indicate that the terminal equipment enters a used state or will enter the used state.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the motion parameters of the terminal device include, but are not limited to, an acceleration of the terminal device and an angular velocity of the terminal device. The motion parameters of the terminal device can be determined through the gyroscope sensor and the acceleration sensor on the terminal device.
It should be noted that when the terminal device is taken up or pulled out of the pocket, the movement distance and the movement height of the terminal device may be changed, and further, the movement parameters of the terminal device may be changed. Moreover, the user may pick up the terminal device or draw out the terminal device from the pocket when using the terminal device or is about to use the terminal device, so that the embodiment of the disclosure may determine that the terminal device has entered the used state or will enter the used state through the motion parameter of the terminal device.
The key module can be controlled to be switched to the second induction mode based on the motion parameters of the terminal equipment and the extinguishing state of the terminal equipment, so that the key operation can be directly reported to the controller when the flexible screen is in the extinguishing state, the key function of the flexible screen in the extinguishing state is realized, and the display power consumption of the terminal equipment is saved.

s101, detecting key operation conducted through a flexible screen based on one or more key modules between a device back shell and the flexible screen of the terminal device;
