The electronic device according to the embodiment of the present application may be installed with an iOS operating system, an Android operating system, or a Windows operating system, or may also be installed with other operating systems, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that the top end, the bottom end, the left end, the right end, and the upper and lower ends mentioned in the embodiments of the present application are all opposite, and are described as examples in the specific implementation manner, and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present application.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the display screen 194 generally includes a touch area, and in this case, when an icon is displayed in the display screen 194 and a touch for the icon is received, the electronic device may perform an operation corresponding to the icon.

Further, in order to improve the utilization rate of the screen of the electronic device, some electronic devices also support 100% of full-screen at present, that is, besides the display screen of the electronic device, some specific functions are extended for other areas, and in this case, the other areas are provided with touch areas. When the electronic device is required to execute the specific function, the user touches the touch area located in the other area, so that the electronic device executes corresponding operation. Therefore, under the condition that the volume of the electronic equipment is not changed, the electronic equipment can realize the specific function through the touch control of the touch control area in the other area, and the utilization rate of the other area of the electronic equipment is improved.

The electronic device applying the method disclosed by the embodiment of the application can also apply various types of screens, and correspondingly, besides the display screen of the electronic device, other areas with specific functions can also be expanded into various types. In this embodiment, a display screen of the electronic device may be referred to as a first screen, and another area with a specific function is expanded as a second screen, and a touch area is disposed in the second screen. When a touch is received for the touch area of the second screen, the electronic device may perform the particular function.

For example, when the specific function of the second screen extension is brightness adjustment, the user may touch the touch area of the second screen when the brightness of the picture displayed by the electronic device needs to be adjusted. After receiving the touch of the user, the electronic device executes corresponding brightness adjustment operation.

In this case, in one example, the first screen of the electronic device is a front screen area of the electronic device, and the second screen may be a side area of the electronic device, which generally refers to a side area on both left and right sides of the electronic device. For example, when the electronic device uses a circular screen, referring to the front view shown in fig. 2A and the side view shown in fig. 2B, the second screen is the side area on the left and right sides of the electronic device. The circular screen may also be referred to as a curved screen.

In another example, the first screen of the electronic device is a front screen area of the electronic device, and the second screen may be a side area of the electronic device, which generally refers to the side areas on the left and right sides of the electronic device, and a back area of the electronic device. For example, referring to the perspective view shown in fig. 3, when the electronic device applies the surround screen, the second screen is a side area and a back area of the electronic device.

In addition, in another example, the screen of the application of the electronic device is a folding screen that can be folded along a folding line, thereby dividing the entire folding screen into two display screens, i.e., a first display screen and a second display screen. And the first display screen and the second display screen may assume a plurality of states, such as an unfolded state and a folded state, according to the degree of folding.

Referring to fig. 4A, 4B and 4C, schematic diagrams of the foldable screen are shown, wherein in fig. 4A, the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 are not folded, and the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 are spliced into an independent display screen.

Accordingly, in the embodiment of the present application, when the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 are in the unfolded state, that is, the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 are in the state shown in fig. 4A, the display screen formed by splicing the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 is generally used as the first screen of the electronic device, and the side area of the spliced display screen is used as the second screen. In fig. 4A, the middle between the first display 41 and the second display 42 is the folding line 43.

In addition, the two display screens in fig. 4B and 4C are in a folded state, wherein in fig. 4B, the included angle between the two display screens is small, in this case, one of the display screens is usually used as a display screen to display a picture, and the other display screen is the back of the electronic device. For example, in fig. 4B, the first display screen 41 may be a display screen of the electronic device, and the second display screen 42 may be a back surface of the electronic device.

Accordingly, when the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 are folded and the included angle between the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 is small, that is, the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 are as shown in fig. 4B, the display screen of the electronic device is generally used as the first screen, and the back surface and the side edge area of the electronic device are used as the second screen.

Wherein, when the included angle between the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 is smaller than the angle threshold, the included angle between the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 is generally considered to be smaller. The angle threshold may be preset and may also be adjustable during use of the electronic device. For example, the angle threshold may be 10 degrees, and of course, the angle threshold may also be other angle values, which is not limited in this application.

In fig. 4C, the included angle between the two display screens is large, in this case, both display screens can be used as the display screens, and the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 can respectively display different pictures.

Accordingly, when the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 are folded and the included angle between the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 is large, that is, the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 are as shown in fig. 4C, both the first display screen and the second display screen can be used as the first screen and the side area can be used as the second screen.

Wherein, when the included angle between the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 is not smaller than the angle threshold, the included angle between the first display screen 41 and the second display screen 42 is generally considered to be larger.

That is to say, the electronic device applying the method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application includes a first screen and a second screen at the same time, the first screen is a display screen of the electronic device, the second screen is another area different from the display screen in the electronic device, and the second screen includes a touch area. After receiving a touch control for the touch control area in the second screen, the electronic device executes an operation corresponding to the touch control. In addition, the second screen includes at least a side region of the electronic device. When the electronic equipment uses the surrounding screen, the second screen further comprises a back area of the electronic equipment, and in addition, when the electronic equipment uses the folding screen and an included angle between the first display screen and the second display screen in the folding screen is smaller, the second screen further comprises the back area of the electronic equipment.

Of course, the electronic device may also apply other forms of screens, and correspondingly, the first screen and the second screen of the electronic device may also be in other forms, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

The second screen in the electronic device in the present application includes a touch area, and therefore, when a user grips the electronic device, the touch area of the second screen may be touched by mistake, so that the electronic device may still execute a function corresponding to the touch area when the user does not need the electronic device, that is, the electronic device may execute an operation not needed by the user. In order to solve the problem, an embodiment of the present application discloses a method and an apparatus for adjusting a touch area.

Exemplarily, refer to fig. 5A, which is a schematic perspective view of another electronic device configured with a circular screen according to an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 5A illustrates a front view of the electronic device. As shown in fig. 5A and 5B, the display screens of the electronic apparatus include a front screen 21, a side screen 22, and a side screen 23. The front screen 21 connects the side screen 22 and the side screen 23, the side screen 22 and the side screen 23 are arc side screens located on the side of the electronic device, and the side screen 22 and the side screen 23 occupy part or all of the area of the side of the electronic device where the side screens are located. The sides of the electronic device may also include side frames. The back of the electronic device is provided with a rear case of the electronic device.

For example, refer to fig. 6A, which is a schematic perspective view of another electronic device configured with a surround screen according to an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 6B shows a front view of the electronic device. As shown in fig. 6A and 6B, the screens of the electronic device include a screen 31, a screen 32, a side screen 33, and a side screen 34. The screen 31 is located on one of the front and back sides of the electronic device, the screen 32 is located on the other of the front and back sides of the electronic device, and the side screens 33 and 34 are side screens with radian located on the side of the electronic device, as shown in fig. 6A, the surround screen does not have a side frame of a conventional terminal device.

For example, referring to fig. 7A to 7C, different configurations of another electronic device configured with a foldable screen are provided in the embodiments of the present application. As in fig. 7A to 7C, the screen of the electronic device may include a screen 51, a screen 52, and a screen 53. Wherein the screen 53 connects the screen 51 and the screen 52, and the screen 53 is a foldable area of the electronic device. When the screen 53 is bent or deformed, the screen 53 may form a side screen of the electronic device. As shown in fig. 7A, the screen 53 is not folded, the screen of the electronic device is in an unfolded state, and an included angle formed by the screen 51 and the screen 52 is equal to 180 degrees. As shown in fig. 7B, the screen 53 is bent, the screen of the electronic device is in a half-folded state, and an included angle 1 formed by the screen 51 and the screen 52 is greater than 0 degree and smaller than 180 degrees. As shown in fig. 7C, the screen 53 is folded, the display 194 of the electronic device is in a fully folded state, and the angle formed by the screen 51 and the screen 52 is equal to 0 degree. The left and right sides of the electronic device shown in fig. 5A and 6A are both configured with side screens, and the electronic device configured with the folding screen has only one side screen in the folded state.

In some embodiments of the present application, the screen 53 forms a side screen of the electronic device when the angle 1 between the screen 51 and the screen 52 is greater than the angle threshold 1. For example, the angle threshold 1 is equal to 10 degrees.

The side screen of the display screen 194 shown in fig. 5A to 7C is a curved or even foldable screen. The screen of the electronic equipment in the embodiment of the application can be a flexible screen made of a flexible material, the flexible screen made of the flexible material takes non-rigid glass as a substrate, and the curved screen is better in elasticity and not easy to break. The screen shown in fig. 5A to 7C may be an integrated flexible screen, or may be formed by splicing a rigid screen and a flexible screen.

In the embodiment of the present application, the side screen may also be referred to as a side area.

A schematic structural diagram of a screen of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application is described below.

Referring to fig. 8A, fig. 8A shows a screen 40 of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, where the screen 40 of the terminal may include a cover glass, a touch sensor 50, a display screen, and a bottom plate. The screen 40 may be a curved screen, a wrap-around screen, a folded screen as shown in fig. 2A to 7C. The touch sensor 50 and the display screen may form a touch screen, where the touch sensor 50 may be the touch sensor 180K in the foregoing embodiment, and the display screen may be the display screen 194 in the foregoing embodiment, and specific contents may refer to the embodiment of the apparatus shown in fig. 1, which is not described herein again.

The touch sensor 50 may include an X-axis electrode layer and a Y-axis electrode layer, which are distributed on the touch sensor 50 in a cross manner to form an M × N array distribution shown in fig. 8B. The electronic device may detect the change of the capacitance value at each coordinate point through the X, Y axis scanning at a specific detection frequency, and may determine the touch information of the user according to the change of the capacitance value at each coordinate point, where the touch information may include the touch position and the touch area of the contact surface on the display screen 194.

In one implementation, when the user's hand touches the touch screen, the user's hand absorbs a portion of the excitation signal from the Tx electrodes, and thus the excitation signal received at the Rx electrodes is attenuated. When scanning and detecting the magnitude of the mutual capacitance of each coordinate point on the touch sensor 50, the terminal can calculate the touch position of the user according to the capacitance variation of each coordinate point. In another implementation, when a user touches the touch screen with his hand, the capacitance of the hand will be superimposed on the screen capacitance (self-capacitance formed by the Tx electrode and the ground, or self-capacitance formed by the Rx electrode and the ground) of the touch screen, so that the screen capacitance changes. When the terminal scans and detects the magnitude of the self-capacitance of each electrode at each coordinate point on the touch sensor 50, the touch position of the user's hand can be determined according to the capacitance variation of each electrode at each coordinate point.

In some embodiments, the larger the contact area between the hand of the user and the screen area corresponding to each grid in the touch screen array shown in fig. 8B, the larger the capacitance variation of the coordinate point corresponding to the grid. It is understood that the greater the pressing force of the user's hand on a grid, the greater the contact area of the user's hand with the grid.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may have three detection states for a touch operation of a user on the touch screen: active (Active) state, Idle (Idle) state, Sleep (Sleep) state. And in the Active state, the terminal detects the touch operation on the touch screen by adopting a first frequency. For example, the first frequency is 120 Hz. And in the Idle state, the terminal detects the touch operation on the touch screen by adopting a second frequency. For example, the second frequency is 1Hz or 10 Hz. Sleep state: and in the Sleep state, the terminal does not detect the touch operation on the touch screen.

In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may determine that the X-th to X + N-th coordinate points in the M × N touch screen array correspond to the side screen based on the position distribution of the side screen on the display screen 194. For example, for the curved screens shown in fig. 5A to 5B, the electronic device determines that the coordinate points in the 1 st column to the nth column in the M × N touch screen array correspond to the side screen 21, and the coordinate points in the N-N +1 th column to the nth column correspond to the side screen 22. For example, for the foldable screen shown in fig. 7A to 7C, the electronic device determines that N rows of coordinate points centered in the M × N touch screen array correspond to the side screen 53.

The traditional electronic equipment comprising the side frame can provide some quick functions for users through physical keys arranged on the side frame, and the functions are usually some functions with high use frequency or more general functions, such as turning on and off, volume increase and decrease or screen capture and the like. The side screens shown in fig. 5A to 7C replace part or all of the conventional side frames, and the side screens may continue to provide the shortcut function for the user for the touch area where the user performs information interaction, and other more functions (e.g., taking a picture, answering a call, performing an intelligent assistant, performing a quick payment, etc.). For example, a side screen of the electronic device may receive a sliding operation by a user, and in response to the detected sliding operation, the electronic device may adjust display brightness of the display screen.

Therefore, the side screen improves the screen occupation ratio of the electronic equipment, and meanwhile, the interaction mode of the electronic equipment and a user is increased, and the user experience is improved. However, the side surface of the electronic device is the position where the user holds the electronic device with the palm, and therefore, as the touch area for information interaction, the risk of misoperation of the side screen is greatly increased in the holding state.

Therefore, how to effectively control the information interaction between the side screen and the user in the holding state is an important issue. According to the touch area adjusting method provided by the embodiment of the application, the touch area which can be operated by the user in the side screen can be adjusted according to the holding state of the user. The method is suitable for the use habit of the user, effectively reduces the misoperation risk in the interaction process of the user and the side screen, and improves the use experience of the user on the side screen.

In addition to the electronic devices shown in fig. 5A to 7C, the touch area adjustment method provided in the embodiment of the present application is also applicable to other types of display screens with side screens, and is not limited herein.

In an embodiment of the present application, a method for adjusting a touch area is disclosed. The method is applied to electronic equipment, the electronic equipment comprises a first screen and a second screen, the first screen is a display screen of the electronic equipment, the second screen is other areas, different from the display screen, of the electronic equipment, and the second screen comprises a touch area. In addition, the second screen includes at least a side region of the electronic device.

In this case, referring to the workflow diagram shown in fig. 9, the touch area adjustment method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

and step S11, determining a first area which is located on the second screen and is changed in the sensing parameter.

In an embodiment of the application, the touched area in the second screen is determined by a change in a sensed parameter in the second screen. Wherein the sensing parameter can be in various forms.

Referring to fig. 2A, the electronic device second screen may include a side region of the electronic device. Referring to fig. 3, the electronic device second screen may include a side region and a rear region of the electronic device. Referring to fig. 4A, the second screen may include a side area and a rear area of the electronic device when the electronic device is in a folded state.

For example, a pressure sensor is disposed in the second screen, and when a certain area in the second screen is touched, the pressure sensor can sense a change in pressure of the touched area, and determine the area where the pressure changes as the first area. In this case, the sensed parameter is pressure.

In another example, a temperature sensor is disposed in the second screen, and when a certain area in the second screen is touched, the temperature sensor can sense that the temperature of the touched area changes, and determine the area with the changed temperature as the first area. In this case, the sensed parameter is temperature.

Or, a capacitive sensor is arranged in the second screen, and when a certain area in the second screen is touched, the capacitive sensor can sense the change of the capacitance of the touched area and determine that the area with the changed capacitance is the first area. In this case, the sensing parameter is capacitance.

Of course, other types of sensors may be further disposed in the second screen, and correspondingly, the sensing parameter may also be a parameter in other forms, which is not limited in this application embodiment. And, different types of sensors can also be arranged in the second screen at the same time, correspondingly, the sensing parameter can be the combination of multiple types of parameters. For example, a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor are provided in the second screen at the same time, in which case the sensing parameter includes both the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor.

Step S12, determining the gesture of the electronic equipment being grasped according to the position of the first area on the second screen.

It should be noted that the electronic device may determine one or more first areas that are located on the second screen and where the sensing parameter changes. The electronic device can determine the gesture of the electronic device being grasped according to the position of the one or more first areas on the second screen.

In practical application scenarios, the gesture of the electronic device being gripped includes various gestures, for example, a lower half of the electronic device being gripped with one hand, a middle part of the electronic device being gripped with one hand, four corners of the electronic device being gripped with two hands, and the like.

In this case, in step S12, according to the position of the first area in the second screen, the contact positions of the thenar, fingers, and/or palm with the side areas can be determined, respectively, so as to determine the gesture that the electronic device is gripped at this time.

Step S13, adjusting a position of the touch area in the second screen according to the gesture of the electronic device being grasped, so that the adjusted touch area is away from the first area.

Through the gesture that the electronic equipment is gripped and the position of the current touch area in the second screen, whether the touch area of the second screen is touched or not can be determined. When the touch area of the second screen is easy to touch, the position of the touch area on the second screen is adjusted, since the adjusted touch area is far away from the first area, which is usually the area where the user grips the electronic device, when the adjusted touch area is far away from the first area, it indicates that the adjusted touch area is far away from the area where the electronic device is gripped, and the possibility that the touch area is touched by mistake is reduced.

For example, when the second screen is a side area of the electronic device and the gesture of the electronic device being grasped is to grasp a lower half portion of the electronic device with one hand, the touch area may be adjusted to the upper half portion of the side area, so that the adjusted touch area is far away from the first area, and the touch area is prevented from being touched by mistake.

The touch area adjusting method disclosed by the embodiment of the application can determine a first area of a second screen where a sensing parameter changes, determine a gesture of the electronic device being held according to the position of the first area on the second screen, and adjust the position of the touch area on the second screen according to the gesture. And the touch area in the second screen is an expanded touch area. That is to say, the scheme disclosed in the embodiment of the present application adjusts the position of the touch area in the second screen based on the gesture of the electronic device being grasped, so that the adjusted touch area is away from the first area, thereby avoiding the touch area of the second screen from being touched by mistake, and improving the user experience.

In addition, in the embodiment of the application, the electronic device sets a function corresponding to the touch area of the second screen, and when the touch area is touched, the electronic device can implement the function. According to the scheme of the embodiment of the application, after the position of the touch area of the second screen is adjusted, when the adjusted touch area is touched, the electronic device executes the function of the touch area. That is, even if the position of the touch area of the second screen is adjusted, the electronic device can still implement the corresponding function.

For example, when the touch area of the side area is used to adjust the volume of the electronic device and the touch area is located at the first position in the side area, after the touch area is adjusted to the second position in the side area, if the side area is touched, the electronic device determines whether the touched area is the second position. And when the electronic equipment determines that the touched area is the second position, the electronic equipment executes corresponding volume adjustment operation.

In step S12, an operation is disclosed for determining a gesture in which the electronic device is grasped, based on the position of the first region on the second screen. The first area is an area where the sensing parameters change in a second screen of the electronic device. In some application scenarios, the sensing parameters may also change in a partial area of the second screen due to external interference. Accordingly, to improve the accuracy of determining the gesture that the electronic device is gripped, further embodiments are disclosed. In this embodiment, referring to the workflow diagram shown in fig. 10A, before determining the gesture of the electronic device being grasped according to the position of the first area on the second screen, the method further includes the following steps:

Step S14, when the first area includes more than two, calculating a variation of the sensing parameter of the first area.

Step S15, determining a first target area in the first area, where the first target area is a first area where the variation of the sensing parameter is greater than a first threshold.

In this case, the determining the gesture of the electronic device being grasped according to the position of the first area on the second screen in step S12 includes:

determining a gesture of the electronic equipment being grasped according to the position of the first target area on the second screen.

That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, after the first areas are determined, the variation of the sensing parameter of each first area is further calculated, then, based on the comparison between the variation and the first threshold, the first target area is determined, and the gesture of the electronic device being grasped is determined according to the position of the first target area on the second screen.

The electronic device is sometimes disturbed, which causes a change in the sensing parameter in the second screen. For example, the second screen may sometimes contact a foreign object (e.g., a leaf, a raindrop, etc.), and the sensing parameter of the position where the foreign object is contacted may be changed. When the sensing parameter at a certain position in the second screen changes due to interference of a foreign object, the sensing parameter at the position generally changes by a small amount. Through the steps, the first target area with the variation of the induction parameter larger than the first threshold is determined, and the gesture of the electronic equipment being gripped is determined according to the first target area, so that the influence caused by interference can be reduced, and the accuracy of determining the gesture of the electronic equipment being gripped is improved.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 10B, the electronic device determines 5 first regions located on the second screen, including a first region 61, a first region 62, a first region 63, a first region 64, and a first region 65. The electronic device calculates the variation of the sensing parameter of each first region shown in fig. 10B, wherein the variation of the sensing parameter of each of the first region 61, the first region 62, the first region 63, and the first region 64 is greater than a first threshold, and the variation of the sensing parameter of the first region 65 is less than or equal to the first threshold. The electronic device determines a first region where the variation of the sensing parameter is greater than the first threshold as a first target region, which includes a first region 61, a first region 62, a first region 63, and a first region 64, as shown in fig. 10B. The electronic device may determine the gesture in which the electronic device is grasped according to a first target area, as shown in fig. 10B, which includes a contact area of the greater thenar with the left side area in the second screen (i.e., a first area 61) and a contact area of the user's fingers with the right side area in the second screen (i.e., a first area 62, a first area 63, and a first area 64), and thus, the electronic device determines that the user holds the electronic device with one hand in the left hand.

Through the operations in steps S13 to S14, the first target area can be determined based on the variation of the sensing parameter of each first area, and the accuracy of the gesture of the electronic device being grasped can be determined according to the first target area. By means of the embodiments, the influence of external interference can be reduced, and the accuracy of determining the gesture of the electronic equipment being held is further improved.

Alternatively, in another possible implementation manner, referring to the workflow diagram shown in fig. 11A, before determining the gesture of the electronic device being grasped according to the position of the first area on the second screen, the method further includes the following steps:

step S16, when the first region includes two or more, acquiring an area of the first region.

And step S17, determining a second target area in the first area, wherein the second target area is the first area with the area larger than a second threshold value.

determining a gesture of the electronic device being grasped according to the position of the second target area on the second screen.

The electronic device is sometimes disturbed, which causes a change in the sensing parameter in the second screen. While the area of the first region due to interference tends to be small. In this case, when the area of a certain first region is not greater than the second threshold, the first region is generally considered to be caused by interference. In an embodiment of the present application, the second threshold may be determined according to a range of hand sizes. For example, the size of the palms of multiple users may be obtained by means of big data collection, and then the area occupied by each finger in the palms is counted, and then the second threshold is determined to be slightly smaller than the minimum value of the areas occupied by each finger. In this case, when the user touches the second screen of the electronic device, the area of the first region resulting from the touch operation is larger than the second threshold.

Of course, the second threshold may also be set in other manners, which is not limited in this application embodiment.

Through the operations in steps S16 to S17, a second target region having an area greater than a second threshold in the first region can be determined based on the area of each first region, and then the gesture of the electronic device being grasped can be determined according to the second target region, so that the influence of external interference can be reduced, and the accuracy of determining the gesture of the electronic device being grasped can be further improved.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 11B, the electronic device determines 5 first regions located on the second screen, including a first region 71, a first region 72, a first region 73, a first region 74, and a first region 75. The electronic device determines the area of each of the first regions shown in fig. 11B, wherein the areas of the first region 71, the first region 72, the first region 73, and the first region 64 are all greater than the second threshold, and the area of the first region 75 is equal to or less than the second threshold. The electronic device determines a first region having an area larger than the second threshold as a first target region, which includes a first region 71, a first region 72, a first region 73, and a first region 74, as shown in fig. 11B. The electronic device may determine the gesture of the electronic device being grasped according to the first target area, and similar to fig. 10B, the electronic device may determine the gesture of the electronic device being grasped as a left-handed single-handed grip according to the first target area shown in fig. 11B.

The operations of steps S13 to S14 and the operations of steps S16 to S17 disclose the schemes of determining a first target region according to the variation of the sensing parameter and determining a second target region according to the area of the first region, respectively. In another possible implementation manner, the corresponding target region may also be determined according to the variation of the sensing parameter and the area of the first region at the same time.

In this case, after a first target region in the first region is determined based on the amount of change in the sensing parameter and a second target region in the first region is determined based on the area of the first region, the overlapping region in the first target region and the second target region is determined. Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the determining the gesture of the electronic device being grasped according to the position of the first area on the second screen includes: determining a gesture of the electronic device being grasped according to the coinciding regions in the first and second target regions.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 11C, the electronic device determines 6 first regions located on the second screen, including a first region 81, a first region 82, a first region 83, a first region 84, a first region 85, and a first region 86. The electronic device determines the variation and the area of the sensing parameter of each first region shown in fig. 11C, wherein the variation of the sensing parameter of each of the first region 81, the first region 82, the first region 83 and the first region 84 is greater than a first threshold, and the areas of the first region 81, the first region 82, the first region 83 and the first region 84 are all greater than a second threshold, the variation of the sensing parameter of the first region 85 is smaller than the first threshold, and the area of the first region 86 is smaller than the second threshold. The electronic device determines a first region where the variation of the sensing parameter is greater than the first threshold and the area is greater than the second threshold as a first target region, as shown in fig. 11C, the first target region includes a first region 81, a first region 82, a first region 83, and a first region 84. The electronic device may determine the gesture of the electronic device being grasped according to the first target area, and similar to fig. 10B, the electronic device may determine the gesture of the electronic device being grasped as a left-handed single-handed grip according to the first target area shown in fig. 11C.

According to the scheme, the variation of the induction parameters and the area of the first area are considered at the same time, the influence of external interference can be further reduced, and the accuracy of subsequently determining the gesture of the electronic equipment to be grasped is improved.

In the above embodiment, an operation of determining a gesture of the electronic device being gripped according to the position of the first area on the second screen is disclosed, where the gesture of the electronic device being gripped tends to include multiple types, and screens applied by different electronic devices tend to be different. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the gesture in which the electronic device is gripped can be determined in various ways.

In the embodiments of the present application, the second screen of the electronic device generally includes various forms. In one form thereof, the second screen of the electronic device includes a side region of the electronic device.

For example, when the electronic device applies a circular screen, the second screen is a side area of the electronic device.

Or, in another example, the electronic device employs a folding screen, where the folding screen includes a first display screen and a second display screen, and when the first display screen and the second display screen are in an unfolded state, that is, the first display screen and the second display screen are spliced into one display screen, that is, the first display screen and the second display screen are as shown in fig. 4A, the spliced display screen may be used as the first screen, and a side area of the spliced display screen is the second screen, that is, the electronic device employs the folding screen, and when the first display screen and the second display screen in the folding screen are in an unfolded state, the second screen includes the side area of the electronic device.

In addition, when the contained angle between the first display screen in the folding screen and the second display screen is great, first display screen and second display screen are as shown in fig. 4C promptly, can all regard as first screen with two display screens, and the side region of two display screens is regarded as the second screen respectively, promptly electronic equipment adopts the folding screen, and when the contained angle between the first display screen in the folding screen and the second display screen is great, the second screen includes respectively the side region of first display screen and second display screen.

When the electronic device applies the folding screen, the state of the folding screen (i.e. the unfolding state or the folding state) needs to be determined. In this application embodiment, can confirm the contained angle between first display screen and the second display screen, when contained angle between first display screen and the second display screen is 180 degrees, then confirm the state of folding screen is the state of expanding, when contained angle between first display screen and the second display screen is not 180 degrees, then confirms the state of folding screen is fold condition.

In addition, after the state of the folding screen is determined to be the folding state, the included angle between the first display screen and the second display screen may be compared with an angle threshold (for example, 10 degrees), and when the included angle between the first display screen and the second display screen is greater than the angle threshold, the included angle between the first display screen and the second display screen is considered to be larger, and the first display screen and the second display screen are in the state of fig. 4C.

In the implementation of the application, one or more sensors may be disposed in the electronic device, and the included angle between the first display screen and the second display screen may be determined according to data detected by the one or more sensors.

For example, a gyroscope and an acceleration sensor may be disposed on the first display screen and the second display screen of the electronic device. The gyroscope arranged on the first display screen can detect the rotation angular speed of the first display screen during rotation, and the acceleration sensor in the first display screen can detect the acceleration generated during movement of the first display screen. Correspondingly, the gyroscope arranged on the second display screen can detect the rotation angular speed of the second display screen during rotation, and the acceleration sensor in the second display screen can detect the acceleration generated during the movement of the second display screen. Then, based on the rotation angular velocity and the acceleration of the first display screen and the rotation angular velocity and the acceleration of the second display screen, the included angle between the first display screen and the second display screen can be obtained through calculation.

When the first screen includes a side area of the electronic device, referring to the workflow diagram shown in fig. 12, the determining the gesture of the electronic device being grasped according to the position of the first area on the second screen includes the following steps:

Step S121, determining a long axis region and a short axis region in a first region of a side region of the electronic device according to a length of the first region, where the length of the long axis region is greater than or equal to a third threshold value, and the length of the short axis region is less than or equal to a fourth threshold value.

In one implementation, the third threshold is equal to the fourth threshold.

In step S121, the first region is divided into two types, i.e., a long axis region and a short axis region, according to length. When a user grips the electronic device, a position such as a thumb, a thenar of a fish or a palm of the user usually contacts a side edge region of one side of the electronic device, so that a long axis region appears at the position of the side edge region of the one side, namely the long axis region corresponds to the position where the thumb, the thenar of the fish or the palm of the user contacts the side edge region when the user grips the electronic device. And the rest fingers tend to contact the side edge area on the other side of the electronic device, so that the short axis area appears at the position of the side edge area on the other side, namely the short axis area corresponds to the position of the side edge area contacted by other fingers when the user grips the electronic device.

In some embodiments, the length of the first region is a maximum length of the first region along a long side of the electronic device. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the third threshold value and the fourth threshold value are predetermined. For example, the length of the side edge region contacted by the thumb, the thenar or the palm of a plurality of users in a single-hand grasping of the electronic device, and the length of the side edge region contacted by fingers except the thumb can be obtained in advance by means of big data acquisition, and the third threshold value and the fourth threshold value are determined according to the lengths.

Of course, the third threshold and the fourth threshold may also be determined in other manners, which is not limited in this application embodiment.

Step S122, when the long axis region and the short axis region are respectively located in different side regions, determining the number of the long axis region and the short axis region.

In some embodiments, the electronics determine the number of long axis regions and short axis regions on each side region. When the long axis region of the electronic device is located on only one side region of the electronic device and the short axis region of the electronic device is located on only the other side region of the electronic device, the electronic device performs step 123. When both side regions of the electronic device include the long axis region, the electronic device determines that the gesture in which the electronic device is gripped is a two-handed longitudinal grip.

When the electronic device is held by the user, the positions of the thumb, thenar or palmar, etc., and the fingers other than the thumb are located on different sides, i.e., the major axis region and the minor axis region should be located on different side regions. If the long axis region and any one of the short axis regions are located in the same side edge region, it indicates that the long axis region or any one of the short axis regions is not a region where the sensing parameter changes due to the user gripping the electronic device, and cannot be used for determining the gesture of the electronic device being gripped. Therefore, in the above step, when it is determined that the long axis region and the short axis region are located in different side regions, respectively, the number of the long axis region and the short axis region is determined again.

Step S123, when there is only one long axis region, the number of short axis regions is not greater than n, and both the long axis region and the short axis regions are located in the first portion of the electronic device, determining that the gesture that the electronic device is grasped is a first one-handed grasping gesture.

Wherein the electronic device divides the first portion and the second portion along a boundary, a direction of the boundary being parallel to a width direction of the electronic device. Generally, the boundary is located in a middle position of the electronic device, and when the electronic device is placed in a vertical state, the boundary divides the electronic device into an upper half area and a lower half area, where the first part is the lower half area of the electronic device and the first part is the upper half area of the electronic device.

Referring to a schematic diagram of a first region of the electronic device shown in fig. 13, a portion in which black is colored is a first region in the side region, and the first region includes a long axis region 91 and a short axis region 92. The dashed line in fig. 13 is a boundary line.

In the embodiment of the present application, n is a preset positive integer. When a user grips the electronic device, the positions of the thumb, the thenar or the palm and the fingers except the thumb are on different sides, in this case, only one long axis area is provided, and the fingers contacting the side edge area are not more than four fingers except the thumb, so n can be set to 4.

If the long axis area is more than one, the change of the sensing parameter of the long axis area is not caused by the user gripping the electronic equipment. In addition, if the number of short axis regions is greater than n, it indicates that the change in the sensed parameter of the short axis region is not caused by the user gripping the electronic device. In both cases, the gesture in which the electronic device is gripped need not be determined by the first region.

As can be seen from the operations in steps S121 to S123, when there is only one long axis region, the number of short axis regions is not greater than n, and both the long axis region and the short axis regions are located in the first portion of the electronic device, it is determined that the gesture in which the electronic device is gripped is the first one-handed gripping gesture. Wherein the first one-handed grip gesture refers to a one-handed grip of the electronic device (e.g., a right-handed longitudinal grip or a left-handed longitudinal grip), and the user grips a first portion of the electronic device.

In addition, when the gesture of the electronic device being grasped is a first one-hand grasping gesture, the adjusting the position of the touch area in the second screen according to the gesture of the electronic device being grasped comprises the following steps:

first, a second region located in a second part of a first side edge region and at a first distance h1 from the long axis region is determined, wherein the first side edge region is the side edge region where the long axis region is located. In fig. 13, the first side region is a right side region.

In the embodiment of the present application, the distance between two regions refers to the shortest distance between the two regions. When the distance between the two regions is determined, connecting lines respectively positioned between any two points of the two regions can be determined, and the length of the shortest connecting line in each connecting line is the distance between the two regions. In one implementation, the shortest distance between two regions refers to the shortest distance between the two regions along the long side of the electronic device.

Then, a third region located in a second portion of a second side region and located at a second distance h2 from the short axis region is determined, the second side region being the side region where the short axis region is located. In fig. 14, the second side region is a left side region.

And finally, adjusting a first touch area to the second area and/or the third area, wherein the first touch area is a touch area located in a side area of the electronic device.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 13, in some embodiments, when the long axis region is located in the lower half of one side region and the short axis region is located in the lower half of the other side region, the electronic device determines the gripping gesture to be a first one-handed gripping gesture.

As can be seen from fig. 13 and 14, in some embodiments, when the long axis region is located in the lower half region of the side region 1 of the electronic device and the short axis region is located in the lower half region of the side region 2 of the electronic device, the electronic device determines that the first touch region is located in the upper half region of the side region 1 and the upper half region of the side region 2. The shortest distance between the major axis region in the side region 1 and the first touch region is h1, and the shortest distance between the minor axis region in the side region 2 and the first touch region is h 2.

The second area and the third area are both areas far away from the palm of the user. In this case, the first touch area may be adjusted to the second area or the third area. In addition, when the first touch area corresponds to more than two functions, the first touch area can be further divided into a first sub-touch area and a second sub-touch area, and the first sub-touch area and the second sub-touch area correspond to different functions and are respectively adjusted to the second area and the third area. For example, when the function corresponding to the first touch region includes brightness adjustment and volume adjustment, it may be determined that the function corresponding to the first sub-touch region is brightness adjustment and the first sub-touch region is adjusted into the second region, and it is determined that the function corresponding to the second sub-touch region is volume adjustment and the second sub-touch region is adjusted into the third region.

In order to clarify the second region and the third region, the embodiment of the present application discloses a schematic diagram of the first single-hand gripping gesture shown in fig. 14, in which a position 101, such as a thumb, a thenar or a palm, is included, and the position causes a long-axis region to appear when contacting the electronic device, and a finger 102 other than the thumb is included, and the finger 102 causes a short-axis region to appear when contacting the electronic device. In addition, in fig. 14 including the second region located in the second portion of the first side region and located at the first distance h1 from the long axis region, since the distance between the second region and the position of the thumb, thenar, or palm is the first distance h1, the second region can be located away from the position of the thumb, thenar, or palm. In addition, in fig. 15 including the third region located in the second portion of the second side region and at the second distance h2 from the short axis region, since the distance between the third region and the other fingers except the thumb is h2, the third region can be separated from the other fingers except the thumb. Therefore, after the first touch area is adjusted to the second area and/or the third area, the finger of the user usually does not make a false touch on the first touch area any more.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first distance h1 and the second distance h2 may be the same distance or different distances, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this distance.

In another possible way, referring to the workflow diagram shown in fig. 15, the second screen of the electronic device includes a side area of the electronic device, in which case, the determining the gesture of the electronic device being grasped according to the position of the first area on the second screen includes the following steps:

step S124, determining a long axis region and a short axis region in a first region of the side region of the electronic device according to a length of the first region, where the length of the long axis region is not less than a third threshold, and the length of the short axis region is not greater than a fourth threshold.

Step S125, when the long axis region and the short axis region are respectively located in different side regions, determining the number of the long axis region and the short axis region.

The operation process of steps S124 to S125 may be the same as the operation process of steps S121 to S122, and may be referred to each other, which is not described herein again.

Step S126, when only one long axis area is provided, the number of the short axis areas is not more than n, the short axis areas simultaneously occupy the first part and the second part of the electronic equipment, and the long axis areas are located in the first part of the electronic equipment, the gesture that the electronic equipment is grasped is determined to be a second one-hand grasping gesture.

Referring to the schematic diagram of the first region of the electronic device shown in fig. 16, the black portion is the first region in the side region, and the first region includes a long axis region 121 and a short axis region 122. The dashed line in fig. 16 is a boundary line.

As can be seen from the operations in steps S124 to S126, when there is only one long axis region, the number of short axis regions is not greater than n, and the short axis regions simultaneously occupy the first portion and the second portion of the electronic device, and the long axis region is located in the first portion of the electronic device, the gesture in which the electronic device is gripped is determined to be a second one-handed gripping gesture.

Wherein the second one-handed gripping gesture refers to one-handed gripping of the electronic device, and the thumb, the thenar or the palm and the like are located in a first part of the electronic device, and the fingers except the thumb are partially located in the first part of the electronic device and partially located in a second part of the electronic device.

First, a fourth area which is located in the second part of the first side edge area and is at a third distance h3 from the long axis area is determined, wherein the first side edge area is the side edge area where the long axis area is located. In fig. 16, the first side area is a right side area.

Then, a first touch area is adjusted to the fourth area, wherein the first touch area is a touch area located in a side area of the electronic device.

When the gesture of the electronic equipment which is grasped is a second one-hand grasping gesture, the determined fourth area is far away from the positions of the thumb, the thenar or the palm center and the like, so that the mistaken touch of the first touch area can be reduced. In addition, the short shaft area occupies the first part and the second part of the electronic equipment at the same time, so that the side area where the short shaft area is located is not used as the first touch area any more, and the finger is prevented from mistakenly touching the first touch area.

To clarify the fourth region, the embodiment of the present application discloses a schematic diagram of the second single-hand gripping gesture shown in fig. 17, which includes a position 131 such as a thumb, a thenar or a palm, which causes a long-axis region to appear when contacting the electronic device, and includes other fingers 132 except the thumb, which cause a short-axis region to appear when contacting the electronic device, in the schematic diagram. In addition, in fig. 17, a fourth area which is located in the second portion of the first side area and is located at a third distance h3 from the long axis area, and a short axis area are included, and since the fourth area is located at a third distance h3 from the position of the thumb, thenar or palm, the fourth area can be located away from the position of the thumb, thenar or palm. Therefore, after the first touch area is adjusted to the fourth touch area, the fingers of the user usually do not cause the wrong touch to the first touch area any more.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 16, in some embodiments, when the long axis region is located in the lower half of one side region and part or all of the short axis region is located in the upper half of the other side region, the electronic device determines the gripping gesture to be a second one-handed gripping gesture.

As can be seen from fig. 16 and 17, in some embodiments, when the long axis region is located in the lower half region of the side region 1 of the electronic device and part or all of the short axis region is located in the upper half region of the side region 2 of the electronic device, the electronic device determines that the first touch region is located in the upper half region of the side region 1. The shortest distance between the long axis region and the first touch region in the side region 1 is h 3. It can be understood that the side areas 2 are all non-touch areas.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the third distance h3 may be the same as the first distance h1 or the second distance h2, or may be different from both the first distance h1 and the second distance h2, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In another possible way, referring to the workflow diagram shown in fig. 18, the second screen of the electronic device includes a side area of the electronic device, in which case, the determining the gesture of the electronic device being grasped according to the position of the first area on the second screen includes the following steps:

Step S127, if the electronic device is in the landscape state, when the number N of the first regions located in the side regions of the electronic device is a positive integer not greater than 4 and not less than 2, and the first regions located in the side regions of the electronic device are respectively located at different corners of the electronic device, obtaining the area of the first regions.

In the embodiments of the present application, N is a positive integer not greater than 4 and not less than 2, i.e., N has a value of 2, 3, or 4.

If the electronic equipment is in a landscape state, when the number N of the first areas positioned in the side areas of the electronic equipment is a positive integer which is not more than 4 and not less than 2, and the first areas positioned in the side areas of the electronic equipment are respectively positioned at different corners of the electronic equipment, the first areas are indicated to be possibly caused when a user holds the corners of the electronic equipment. In this case, since the user usually uses at least two fingers and at most four fingers (i.e., four fingers respectively hold four corners of the electronic device) when holding the corners of the electronic device, N is a positive integer not greater than 4 and not less than 2.

And S128, when the areas of the first areas are all in a preset first area range, determining that the gesture of the electronic equipment being grasped is a cross-screen grasping gesture.

When the user holds the corner of the electronic device, the first regions are generated by the different fingers of the user contacting the side regions, respectively, and since the areas of the contact surfaces formed by the fingers in the side regions need to be within a certain range (i.e., a preset first area range), in this case, when the areas of the first regions acquired in step S127 are within the preset first area range, it indicates that the first regions are both caused by the gripping gesture of the user, and therefore, it may be determined that the gesture of the electronic device being gripped is a landscape gripping gesture.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the first area range needs to be determined in advance. For example, the first area range may be determined by acquiring, in advance, areas of the side areas contacted by fingers of a plurality of users when the users hold four corners of the electronic device by means of big data collection.

Of course, the first area range may also be determined in other ways, which is not limited in this application.

In addition, according to steps S127 to S128, it may be determined whether the gesture of the electronic device being grasped is a landscape grasping gesture, and when the number of the first regions is 4, that is, the landscape grasping gesture is performed by four fingers (e.g., thumb and index finger of two hands) of the user, and the four fingers respectively grasp four corners of the electronic device, the schematic diagram of the first regions is shown in fig. 19, the black colored portion is the first region in the side region, and the first regions are four, and the four first regions are respectively located at the four corners of the electronic device.

When the gesture that the electronic device is grasped is a cross-screen grasping gesture, the adjusting the position of the touch area in the second screen according to the gesture that the electronic device is grasped comprises the following steps:

first, a fifth area located in a side area of the electronic device is determined, and a distance between the fifth area and the first area is not less than a fourth distance h 4.

Then, a first touch area is adjusted to the fifth area, wherein the first touch area is a touch area located in a side area of the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the application, when the gesture of the electronic device being grasped is a cross-screen grasping gesture, the first touch area is adjusted to the fifth area, and the distance between the fifth area and the first area is not less than the fourth distance h4, so that the distance between the first touch area after adjustment and the first area is not less than the fourth distance h4, that is, the first touch area after adjustment is far away from the palm of the user, and thus the first touch area after adjustment can be prevented from being touched by mistake.

In order to clarify the fifth area, the embodiment of the present application discloses a schematic diagram of the horizontal screen grabbing gesture shown in fig. 20, in which the number of the first areas is set to be four, and the first areas are respectively located at four corners of the electronic device, and the distance between each first area and the fifth area is not less than the fourth distance h 4.

Further, in this embodiment of the application, when the electronic device is in a non-horizontal state, after determining a fifth area located in a side area of the electronic device, the method further includes:

determining a fifth area of the side areas located above the electronic device.

In this case, the adjusting the touch area into the fifth area includes:

adjusting the first touch area to a fifth area of the side areas located above the electronic device.

When the electronic device is in the landscape state, if the electronic device is still in a non-horizontal state, the user typically places the thumb on the side area below the electronic device and the index finger on the side area above the electronic device when making the landscape gripping gesture. The index finger is usually more flexible than the thumb, so that the touch function of the side area below the electronic device is temporarily terminated, and the first touch area is selected to be adjusted to the side area above the electronic device, that is, the first touch area is adjusted to the fifth area in the side area above the electronic device, thereby facilitating the index finger of the user to perform touch operation on the first touch area.

In this case, the adjusted first touch area is far from the four corners of the electronic device, and correspondingly, is far from the fingers of the user.

In another possible way, referring to the workflow diagram shown in fig. 21, the determining the gesture of the electronic device being grasped according to the position of the first area on the second screen includes the following steps:

step S129, determining a long axis region and a short axis region in a first region of the side region of the electronic device according to a length of the first region, where the length of the long axis region is not less than a third threshold, and the length of the short axis region is not greater than a fourth threshold.

The operation process of step S129 is the same as the operation process of step S121, and may refer to each other, which is not described herein again.

Step S130, acquiring a first ratio of the long axis region located in the second portion of the electronic device to the long axis region, and acquiring a second ratio of the short axis region located in the second portion of the electronic device to the short axis region.

Step S131, when the first proportion and the second proportion are both larger than a fifth threshold value, determining that the gesture of the electronic equipment which is grasped is a third one-hand grasping gesture.

When the first ratio and the second ratio are both larger than the fifth threshold value, it indicates that most of the positions of the thenar, the thumb or the palm center and the like are located in the second part of the electronic equipment when the user grasps the electronic equipment, and most of the fingers except the thumb are also located in the second part of the electronic equipment.

The electronic device divides the first portion and the second portion along a boundary, a direction of the boundary being parallel to a width direction of the electronic device. Generally, the boundary is located in a middle position of the electronic device, and when the electronic device is placed in a vertical state, the boundary divides the electronic device into an upper half area and a lower half area, where the first part is the lower half area of the electronic device and the first part is the upper half area of the electronic device.

In this case, it can be seen that the first region corresponding to the third one-hand grip gesture is shown in fig. 22, and in fig. 22, the black portion is the first region in the side region, and the first region includes a long axis region 181 and a short axis region 182. The dashed line in fig. 22 is a boundary line.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 21, in some embodiments, when part or all of the long axis region is located in the upper half region of one side region and part or all of the short axis region is located in the upper half region of the other side region, the electronic device determines the gripping gesture to be a third one-handed gripping gesture.

As can be seen from fig. 21 and 22, in some embodiments, when part or all of the long axis region is located in the upper half region of the side region 1 of the electronic device and part or all of the short axis region is located in the upper half region of the side region 2 of the electronic device, the electronic device determines that both the side region 1 and the side region 2 are non-touch regions.

In addition, when the gesture that the electronic device is gripped is a third one-handed gripping gesture, the adjusting the position of the touch area in the second screen according to the gesture that the electronic device is gripped includes the following steps:

and pausing the touch function of a first touch area, wherein the first touch area is a touch area located in a side area of the electronic equipment.

In this embodiment, the suspension of the touch function in a certain touch area means that even if the touch area receives a touch operation, the electronic device does not execute the function corresponding to the touch area.

A schematic diagram of the third one-handed gripping gesture is shown in fig. 23, which includes a thumb, thenar or palm position 191, which results in a long axis region when contacting the electronic device, and a finger 192 other than the thumb, which finger 192 results in a short axis region when contacting the electronic device. As can be determined from fig. 23, since both the first ratio and the second ratio are greater than the fifth threshold, it indicates that most of the positions of the palm, the thumb, the thenar, and the like of the user are located in the second portion of the electronic device, and most of the fingers except the thumb are also located in the second portion of the electronic device, in this case, the user usually grasps the electronic device this time as an abnormal operation of the user, and therefore, it is determined that the side area suspends the touch function, so as to avoid a false touch on the first touch area.

In the foregoing embodiments, a method for determining a first one-handed grip gesture, a second one-handed grip gesture, a third one-handed grip gesture, and a landscape grip gesture when the second screen includes a side area of the electronic device is disclosed, and a manner for adjusting a first touch area when a user grips the electronic device through the first one-handed grip gesture, the second one-handed grip gesture, the third one-handed grip gesture, and the landscape grip gesture, respectively, is disclosed, wherein the first touch area is a touch area located in the side area of the electronic device.

In addition, the second screen may further include a back surface area of the electronic device, in which case, the back surface area of the electronic device is provided with a corresponding touch area, and in this embodiment, the touch area provided in the back surface area of the electronic device may be referred to as a second touch area.

For example, when the electronic device employs a surround screen, the second screen includes both a side area and a back area of the electronic device. In this case, when the user grips the electronic device, the user may also make a false touch on the second touch area.

In addition, the electronic device may further apply a folding screen, where the folding screen includes a first display screen and a second display screen, and when the first display screen and the second display screen are folded and an included angle between the first display screen and the second display screen is small, that is, a schematic diagram of the first display screen and the second display screen is shown in fig. 4B, one of the first display screen and the second display screen is generally used as the display screen, and the display screen is the first screen and is used for displaying a picture. And the other display screen is the back of the electronic device. In this case, the other display screen and the side area of the electronic device are used as the second screen.

When the second screen includes a back surface area of the electronic device, in order to reduce false touch on the second touch area, a gesture of the electronic device being grasped may be determined according to a position of the first area in the back surface area, and a position of the touch area in the second screen is adjusted according to the gesture of the electronic device being grasped.

In one possible implementation manner, referring to a workflow diagram shown in fig. 24, the determining the gesture of the electronic device being grasped according to the position of the first area on the second screen includes the following steps:

step S132, determining the area of a first area located in the back area of the electronic device.

Step S133, when the area of the first region is within the second area range, determining a ratio of the area of the second portion of the electronic device where the first region is located to the area of the first region.

Step S134, when the ratio is greater than a sixth threshold, determining that the gesture of the electronic device being gripped is a fourth one-handed gripping gesture, and when the ratio is not greater than the sixth threshold, determining that the gesture of the electronic device being gripped is a fifth one-handed gripping gesture.

In order to clarify the first regions corresponding to the fourth one-handed grip gesture and the fifth one-handed grip gesture, fig. 25 and fig. 26 are respectively disclosed in the embodiments of the present application, and in fig. 25 and fig. 26, the black portion is the first region in the side region. The dotted line in fig. 25 and 26 is the boundary.

When the ratio is greater than the sixth threshold, the first region diagram is shown in fig. 25. As can be seen from fig. 25, the fourth one-handed grip gesture refers to a one-handed grip of the electronic device, and a majority of the area of the palm of the user's hand is located in the second portion of the electronic device. In addition, when the ratio is not greater than the sixth threshold, the first region diagram is shown in fig. 26. As can be seen from fig. 26, the fourth one-handed gripping gesture refers to one-handed gripping of the electronic device, and most of the area of the palm of the user's hand is located in the first portion of the electronic device.

In addition, when the gesture of the electronic device being grasped is a fourth one-handed grasping gesture, the adjusting the position of the touch area in the second screen according to the gesture of the electronic device being grasped includes the following steps:

And pausing the touch function of a second touch area, wherein the second touch area is a touch area located in the back area of the electronic equipment.

The fourth one-handed gripping gesture refers to a one-handed gripping of the electronic device, and most of the area of the palm of the user's hand is located in the second portion of the electronic device, i.e., a schematic diagram of the fourth one-handed gripping gesture is shown in fig. 27. In this case, the user usually grasps the electronic device at this time as an abnormal operation of the user, and therefore, it is determined that the touch function is suspended in the back surface area, and thus, a false touch on the second touch area is avoided.

In addition, when the gesture of the electronic device being grasped is a fifth one-hand grasping gesture, the adjusting the position of the touch area in the second screen according to the gesture of the electronic device being grasped includes the following steps:

first, a sixth area which is located in a back area of the electronic device and is at a fourth distance h4 from the first area is determined.

Then, a second touch area is adjusted to the sixth area, wherein the second touch area is a touch area located in a side area of the electronic device.

Wherein the fifth one-handed gripping gesture refers to a one-handed gripping of the electronic device, and most of the area of the palm of the user's hand is located in the first portion of the electronic device, which is shown in fig. 28. In this case, the user adjusts the second touch area to the sixth area, and the adjusted second touch area can be away from the palm of the user, so as to avoid a false touch on the second touch area.

Further, when the electronic device applies the folding screen, the electronic device needs to determine an included angle between the first display screen and the second display screen, and when the included angle between the first display screen and the second display screen is smaller, the electronic device determines one of the display screens as the back area of the electronic device.

After the included angle between the first display screen and the second display screen is determined, the included angle between the first display screen and the second display screen is compared with an angle threshold (for example, 10 degrees), when the included angle between the first display screen and the second display screen is smaller than the angle threshold, the included angle between the first display screen and the second display screen is generally considered to be smaller, and one of the display screens is determined as a display screen to display a picture, and the other display screen is determined as a back area of the electronic device.

In this case, the other display screen may also serve as a second screen for the user to touch. For example, the first display screen is set as a display screen, the second display screen is set as a second screen, and a second touch area is provided for adjusting volume and brightness. When the first display screen plays the video, the user can touch the second touch area of the second display screen to adjust the volume and brightness of the played video. Accordingly, the electronic device may determine the gesture of the electronic device being grasped through the operations in steps S132 to S134, and adjust the second touch area according to the gesture of the electronic device being grasped.

However, the electronic device needs to determine which of the folded screens is the second screen. Because the display screen of the electronic device needs to display a picture for the user to watch, the display screen in the foldable screen is usually the display screen facing the user, and correspondingly, the other display screen is used as the second screen. That is, of the first display screen and the second display screen, a display screen not facing the user belongs to the second screen. Accordingly, the electronic device can determine the second screen of the first display screen and the second display screen in a plurality of ways.

In one possible implementation manner, when the electronic device applies a folded screen, where an included angle between a first display screen and a second display screen of the folded screen is smaller than an angle threshold, before determining a gesture that the electronic device is gripped according to a position of the first area on the second screen, the method further includes the following steps:

when the first display screen is provided with the infrared sensor, whether the infrared sensor arranged in the first display screen detects an infrared signal radiated by a human body is determined;

and when the infrared sensor arranged in the first display screen detects the infrared signal, determining that the second display screen belongs to the second screen.

In the above scheme, when the infrared sensor arranged in the first display screen detects an infrared signal radiated by a human body, it indicates that the first display screen faces the user, and in this case, it may be determined that the first display screen is the display screen and the corresponding second display screen is the second screen.

Further, when the first display screen and the second display screen are both provided with infrared sensors, the electronic device may further determine whether the infrared sensor arranged in the first display screen and the infrared sensor arranged in the second display screen detect infrared signals of human body radiation, and determine that the display screen corresponding to the infrared sensor which does not detect infrared signals of human body radiation belongs to the second screen.

In another possible implementation manner, when the electronic device applies a folded screen, where an included angle between a first display screen and a second display screen of the folded screen is smaller than an angle threshold, before determining a gesture that the electronic device is gripped according to a position of the first area on the second screen, the method further includes the following steps:

when a camera is arranged in the first display screen, determining whether the camera arranged in the first display screen shoots a face image;

And when the camera arranged in the first display screen shoots a face image, determining that the second display screen belongs to the second screen.

In the above scheme, when the camera arranged in the first display screen shoots the face image, it indicates that the first display screen faces the user, and in this case, it may be determined that the first display screen is the display screen and the corresponding second display screen belongs to the second screen.

Further, when cameras are arranged in the first display screen and the second display screen, the electronic device may further determine whether the camera arranged in the first display screen and the camera arranged in the second display screen capture the face image, and determine that the display screen corresponding to the camera which does not capture the face image belongs to the second screen.

when a proximity light sensor is arranged in the first display screen, determining whether ambient light detected by the proximity light sensor arranged in the first display screen is within a preset light intensity range;

And when the ambient light detected by the proximity light sensor arranged in the first display screen is within a preset light intensity range, determining that the second display screen belongs to the second screen.

The user often can lead to the fact the sheltering from to the display screen towards oneself at the in-process of using electronic equipment to lead to the luminous intensity of the ambient light that self display screen received to weaken. In the embodiment of the application, a first intensity of the ambient light detected by the proximity light sensor arranged in the display screen during the application of the electronic device by the user can be determined in advance through a plurality of tests, and the light intensity range including the first intensity can be set according to the first intensity.

In this case, when the ambient light detected by the proximity light sensor provided in the first display screen is within a preset light intensity range, it indicates that the first display screen faces the user, and in this case, it may be determined that the first display screen is a display screen and the corresponding second display screen belongs to the second display screen.

Further, when the first display screen and the second display screen are both provided with the proximity light sensor, the electronic device may further determine whether the ambient light detected by the proximity light sensor arranged in the first display screen and the proximity light sensor arranged in the second display screen is within the preset light intensity range, and determine that the display screen corresponding to the proximity light sensor not within the preset light intensity range belongs to the second screen.

In the above embodiments, methods of determining a display screen belonging to the second screen based on the infrared sensor, the camera, and the proximity light sensor are respectively disclosed. Of course, the electronic device may also determine, through other manners, a display screen that is not facing the user in the folded screen, and determine that the display screen belongs to the second screen, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

Further, in this embodiment of the application, after adjusting the position of the touch area in the second screen according to the gesture that the electronic device is grasped, the method further includes:

when the area of the first area is reduced, the touch area is adjusted to an initial position. The initial position is a position where the touch area is located before the position of the touch area in the second screen is adjusted according to the gesture of the electronic device being grasped.

When the area of the first area is reduced, the user is indicated to no longer hold the electronic device, so that the touch area can be adjusted to the initial position. In this case, since the user will no longer grasp the electronic device, even if the touch area is adjusted to the initial position, the touch area of the second screen is not touched by mistake. And when the touch area is at the initial position, the use habit of the user is often closer, so that the use of the user is facilitated, and the use experience of the user is improved.

The following describes a touch area adjustment method provided in an embodiment of the present application with reference to the drawings.

First, an information interaction method of the side screen provided in the embodiment of the present application is introduced.

In some embodiments of the present application, the side screen may receive a touch operation of a user, and the electronic device may control display contents on other screens of the electronic device in response to the detected touch operation, and may also implement adjustment of functional parameters of the electronic device (for example, display brightness, turning on and off of bluetooth, and turning on and off of a flash lamp). The touch operation 1 may be a single click, a double click, a long press, a slide operation, or the like.

In an implementation manner, a control is displayed on a side screen of the electronic device, the electronic device detects a touch operation 1 acting on the control, and starts a function 1 triggered by the touch operation 1 in response to the touch operation 1.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 29, taking the electronic device configured with a folding screen as shown in fig. 7C as an example, a control box 201 is displayed on the side screen, and the control box 201 includes a memo icon 201A, a voice assistant icon 201B, and a screen capture icon 201C.

The memo icon 201A may receive a touch operation (e.g., a single-click operation) of a user, and in response to the touch operation, the electronic device may display a memo interface.

The intelligent assistant icon 201B may receive a touch operation (e.g., a single-click operation) of the user, and in response to the touch operation, the electronic device may activate the voice assistant.

The screen capture icon 201C may receive a touch operation (e.g., a single click operation) of the user, and in response to the touch operation, the electronic device may capture and save the interface currently displayed on the display screen 194.

In another implementation manner, the side screen of the electronic device does not display a control, and the electronic device may identify the touch operation 2 based on a touch trajectory, a touch duration, and the like of the touch operation 2 on the side screen, so as to determine and start the function 2 triggered by the touch operation 2.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 30A and 30B, taking the electronic device configured with the curved screen shown in fig. 5B as an example, the user double-clicks the side screen 23 of the electronic device, and the electronic device displays the volume adjustment frame 202 in response to the detected user operation. The volume adjustment box 202 may include a volume adjustment bar 202A, a volume type 202B, and a volume setting control 202C.

The volume type 202B is used to characterize a volume type corresponding to the volume adjustment bar 202A, such as a ring tone, an alarm, media, and the like. The length of the shaded portion in the volume adjustment bar 202A is used to characterize the current volume of the volume type 202B.

The volume setting control 202C may receive a touch operation (e.g., a single-click operation), and in response to the user operation, the electronic device may display a volume setting interface. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 30C and 30D, the user's finger slides upward on the side screen 23, and the electronic device increases the volume of the ringtone based on the distance the user slides, and the length of the shaded portion in the volume adjustment bar, in response to the detected user operation described above.

The functions of the volume control, screen capture, voice assistant, memo and the like provided in the foregoing embodiments are not limited, and the functions triggered by the touch operation performed on the side screen may also include functions of taking a picture, answering a call, recording a screen, and fast payment. In this embodiment of the application, the corresponding relationship between the touch operation and the function triggered by the touch operation may be determined in multiple manners, for example, the corresponding relationship may be default setting when the electronic device leaves a factory, may also be set by a user in a customized manner, may also be determined by the electronic device according to a currently running application program, and may also be determined by the electronic device according to a frequency of use of the application function by the user, which is not specifically limited herein.

Next, how to determine the touch areas and the non-touch areas of the side screen based on the contact surface of the electronic device held by the user is described below.

The holding state of the electronic device for the user is various, and mainly comprises a longitudinal holding state and a transverse holding state. The longitudinal holding state means that a user mainly holds the electronic device by holding the side face corresponding to the long edge of the electronic device, and the side face corresponding to the long edge of the electronic device can be configured with a side screen. The lateral holding state means that the user holds the electronic apparatus mainly by gripping the side face corresponding to the short side of the electronic apparatus. The longitudinal holding state can comprise a left-hand longitudinal holding state, a right-hand longitudinal holding state, a two-hand longitudinal holding state and the like; the lateral grip state may include a left-hand lateral grip, a right-hand lateral grip, a both-hand lateral grip, and the like.

In some embodiments of the present application, when the electronic device does not detect a touch input holding the side screen, the electronic device may determine that all the side screen is a touchable area, that is, the electronic device may respond to the touch input for the side screen and execute a function corresponding to the touch input. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 30A and 30B, in response to a double-click operation with respect to the side screen 23, the electronic device may display a volume adjustment box 202.

The following is a detailed description of several grip states involved in embodiments of the present application.

1. Held longitudinally by the left hand.

Exemplarily, as shown in fig. 31A, the left-handed longitudinal holding electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application is schematically illustrated.

Fig. 31B is a schematic view showing a contact surface in a left-handed one-handed vertical holding state for an electronic device having side screens disposed on both sides. As shown in fig. 31B, the electronic device includes a side screen 1 and a side screen 2, and the contact area of the user with the display screen 194 may include: the thenar of the palm forms the thenar interface 301 on the side screen 1 and the other fingers of the user (i.e. the fingers other than the thumb) form the interface collection 302 on the side screen 2. In some embodiments, the contact area of the user with the display screen 194 in the left-hand portrait holding state may further include: the user's thumb grips the contact surface 303 with a finger formed on the side screen 1.

Among them, in the left-hand longitudinal-held state, the other fingers (i.e., fingers other than the thumb) of the user contacting the side screen 2 may include one or more of the four fingers of the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger. For example, as shown in fig. 31B, the other fingers in contact with the side screen 1 include the above-mentioned 4 fingers, and the contact surface set 302 includes finger grip contact surfaces 302A, finger grip contact surfaces 302B, finger grip contact surface set 302C, and finger grip contact surfaces 302D corresponding to the above-mentioned four fingers, respectively.

As can be seen from fig. 31B, the contact surfaces in the contact surface set 302 are arranged in order along the long side of the electronic device. In some embodiments of the present application, the maximum distance of two adjacent contact surfaces in the set of contact surfaces 302 is less than the distance threshold 1.

Fig. 31C shows a schematic view of a contact surface in a left-hand longitudinal held state for an electronic apparatus in which a side screen is disposed on only one side. As shown in fig. 31C, the electronic device includes a side screen 1, and the contact area of the user with the display screen 194 may include a large thenar contact surface 301 and may also include a finger-gripping contact surface 303.

In the embodiment of the present application, a contact surface formed with the side screen when the user holds the electronic device may be referred to as a side contact surface. The thenar contact surface 301, the finger grip contact surface 302A, the finger grip contact surface 302B, the finger grip contact surface 302C, the finger grip contact surface 302D, and the finger grip contact surface 303 shown in fig. 31B are all side contact surfaces. The side screen includes part or all of the side contact surface, for example, the side screen 1 includes all of the large thenar contact surface 301, and the side screen 2 includes all of the finger grip contact surface 302B.

Note that the finger-gripping contact surface 302D formed by the user holding the electronic device and the finger-clicking contact surface formed by the user performing normal touch operations (e.g., single-click and double-click) have different characteristics. In general, the finger-gripping contact surface formed by the user holding the electronic device has a larger touch area and a longer touch time.

2. The right hand grips longitudinally.

Exemplarily, as shown in fig. 32A, the electronic device is schematically held by a right hand in a longitudinal direction according to an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 32B shows a schematic view of a contact surface corresponding to fig. 32A for an electronic device having side screens disposed on both sides. As shown in the schematic contact surface diagram in fig. 32B, when the electronic device is held by a single hand in a portrait orientation with a right hand, the contact area between the user and the display screen 194 may include: the lateral screen 2 forms a large thenar interface 401 with the large thenar of the palm and the set of interfaces 402 with the lateral screen 1 formed by the other fingers of the user. In some embodiments, the contact area of the user with the display screen 194 in the right-hand portrait holding state may further include: the side screen 2 is held in contact with the thumb forming a finger grip interface 403.

Similarly, the other fingers of the user in contact with the side screen 2 in the right-hand longitudinal-held state may include one or more of the four fingers of the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger. For example, as shown in fig. 32B, the other fingers grasping the side screen 1 include 3 fingers, and the contact surface set 402 includes a finger grasping contact surface 402A, a finger grasping contact surface 402B, and a finger grasping contact surface 402D corresponding to the three fingers.

It will be appreciated that the thumb of the user may not be in contact with the side screen 2 when the user holds the electronic device with the right hand in the portrait orientation.

Fig. 32C shows a schematic view of a contact surface in a right-hand longitudinal held state for an electronic apparatus in which a side screen is arranged on only one side. As shown in fig. 32C, the electronic device includes a side screen 1, and the user's contact area with the display screen 194 may include a set of contact surfaces 402.

3. The hands hold the utility model longitudinally.

For example, as shown in fig. 33A, the electronic device is held by two hands longitudinally, and for the electronic device with side screens configured on both sides, fig. 33B shows a schematic view of a contact surface corresponding to fig. 33A. When the electronic device is held by both hands longitudinally, the contact area between the user and the side screen of the display screen 194 may include: the lateral screen 1 forms a large thenar contact surface 501 with the large thenar of the palm, and the lateral screen 2 forms a large thenar contact surface 502 with the large thenar of the palm. In some embodiments, the contact area between the user and the display screen 194 in the two-hand longitudinal holding state may further include: the side screen 1 is in finger-gripping contact with the thumb 503, and the side screen 2 is in finger-gripping contact with the thumb 504.

It is understood that when the user holds the electronic device with both hands in the longitudinal direction, the thumbs of both hands of the user may not contact the side screen 1 and/or the side screen 2.

For an electronic device in which a side screen is disposed on only one side, fig. 31C may be referred to as a contact surface in a state where both hands are held in a longitudinal direction.

4. Held laterally by the left hand.

For example, as shown in fig. 34A, the left-hand holding electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application is schematically illustrated, and for an electronic device with side screens disposed on both sides, fig. 34B illustrates a contact surface schematic diagram corresponding to fig. 34A. The contact area of the user with the display screen 194 when holding the electronic device sideways with a single hand may include: the left end of the side screen 1 and the finger grip contact surface 601 formed by the user's finger, and the left end of the side screen 2 and the web contact surface 602 formed by the web. Wherein, the side screen 1 is positioned above the side screen 2.

Fig. 34C and 34D show contact surface diagrams in a left-hand lateral held state for an electronic apparatus in which a side screen is disposed on only one side. As shown in FIG. 34C, the side screen 1 is located above other screens of the electronic device, and the contact area between the user and the display screen 194 may include a finger-gripping contact surface 601 formed by the left end of the side screen 1 and the fingers of the user. As shown in FIG. 34D, the side screen 1 is located below other screens of the electronic device, and the contact area between the user and the display screen 194 may include a web contact surface 602 formed by the left end of the side screen 1 and the web.

It is understood that the finger grip contact surface and the web contact surface shown in fig. 34B to 34D are both side contact surfaces.

5. The right hand grips transversely.

For example, as shown in fig. 35A, the electronic device is laterally held by a right hand according to an embodiment of the present application, and for an electronic device with side screens disposed on both sides, fig. 35B shows a schematic view of a contact surface corresponding to fig. 35A. The contact area of the user with the display screen 194 when holding the electronic device sideways with one hand of the right hand may include: the right end of the side screen 1 and the finger grip contact surface 603 formed by the user's finger, and the right end of the side screen 2 and the web contact surface 604 formed by the web. Wherein, the side screen 1 is positioned above the side screen 2.

Fig. 35C and 35D show contact surface diagrams in a right-hand lateral held state for an electronic apparatus in which a side screen is arranged on only one side. As shown in FIG. 35C, the side screen 1 is located above other screens of the electronic device, and the contact area between the user and the display screen 194 may include a finger-gripping contact surface 603 formed by the right end of the side screen 1 and the fingers of the user. As shown in FIG. 35D, the side screen 1 is located below other screens of the electronic device, and the contact area between the user and the display screen 194 may include a web contact surface 604 formed by the right end of the side screen 1 and the web.

6. The hands hold the utility model in the transverse direction.

For example, as shown in fig. 36A, the electronic device is held by two hands in a horizontal direction according to an embodiment of the present application, and for an electronic device with side screens disposed on both sides, fig. 36B shows a schematic view of a contact surface corresponding to fig. 36A. When the electronic device is held by both hands laterally, the contact area between the user and the display screen 194 may include: a finger holding contact surface 701 formed by the left end of the side screen 1 and the user's finger, and a web contact surface 702 formed by the left end of the side screen 2 and the web; the right end of the side screen 1 and a finger grip contact surface 703 formed by the user's finger, and the right end of the side screen 2 and a web contact surface 704 formed by the web. Wherein, the side screen 1 is positioned above the side screen 2.

Fig. 36C and 36D show contact surface diagrams in a state where both hands are held laterally, for an electronic apparatus in which only one side is provided with a side screen. As shown in fig. 36C, the side screen 1 is located above other screens of the electronic device, and the contact area of the user with the display screen 194 may include: a finger-gripping contact surface 701 formed by the left end of the side screen 1 and the user's finger, and a finger-gripping contact surface 703 formed by the right end of the side screen 1 and the user's finger. As shown in fig. 36D, the side screen 1 is located below other screens of the electronic device, and the contact area of the user with the display screen 194 may include: a web contact surface 702 formed by the left end of the side screen 2 and the web, and a web contact surface 704 formed by the right end of the side screen 1 and the web.

The electronic device including the 2-sided screens shown in fig. 31A to 36C may be the electronic device configured with the curved screen in fig. 5A, or the electronic device configured with the surround screen in fig. 6A. The electronic device including 1 side screen shown in fig. 31A to 36C may be the electronic device configuring the folding screen in fig. 7A, and the side screen 1 may be the side screen 53 in fig. 7A.

As can be seen from fig. 31A to 33B, for the electronic device configured with two side screens, when the user holds the electronic device vertically, at least one side screen has a contact surface with the thenar of the palm. When a user holds the electronic equipment longitudinally by one hand, a side screen is in contact with the thenar of the palm, and a side screen is in contact with one or more fingers of the user except the thumb; when the user vertically holds the electronic equipment by both hands, the two side screens have contact surfaces with the thenar of the palm.

As can be seen from fig. 34A to 36D, when the user holds the electronic device in the lateral direction, the contact surface between the user and the side screen is located at one end or both ends of the side screen. Aiming at the electronic equipment provided with the two side screens, when a user transversely holds the electronic equipment by one hand, the same ends of the two side screens are respectively provided with a contact surface, namely a finger holding contact surface and a tiger mouth contact surface; when a user transversely holds the electronic equipment by two hands, two finger holding contact surfaces are arranged at two ends of the side screen positioned above the user, and two tiger-mouth contact surfaces are arranged at two ends of the side screen positioned below the user. For the electronic equipment with 1 side screen, when a user transversely holds the electronic equipment by one hand, when the side screen is positioned above, one end of the side screen is provided with a finger contact surface, and when the side screen is positioned below, one end of the side screen is provided with a tiger's mouth contact surface. In some embodiments, the distance between the contact surfaces of the two ends of one side screen is generally greater than the distance threshold 1 when the user holds the electronic device with both hands facing laterally.

In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may acquire the horizontal and vertical screen states of the electronic device by using the acceleration sensor and/or the gyroscope sensor, so as to determine whether the electronic device is in the vertical screen state or the horizontal screen state, and the position relationship between the side screen 1 and the side screen 2, for example, the side screen 1 is located above the side screen 2.

In some embodiments, the contact surface being located on the side screen may refer to part or all of the contact surface being located on the side screen.

The grip states shown in fig. 31A to 36D are exemplary illustrations of various grip states provided in the embodiments of the present application, and are not limited to the embodiments of the present application. In addition to the holding states shown in fig. 31A to fig. 36D, the embodiments of the present application may also include other holding states, which are not specifically limited herein.

Second, based on the characteristics of the contact surface of the electronic device held by the user, how to determine the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen based on the contact surface of the electronic device held by the user is specifically described below.

In some embodiments of the present application, the touch information of the contact surface may include one or more of a position of the contact surface, a height along a long side of the electronic device, a width along the long side of the electronic device, an area of the contact surface, capacitance information of the contact surface, a touch duration of the contact surface, and the like. The capacitance information of the touch surface may include a capacitance signal of each coordinate point in the touch array corresponding to the touch surface, for example, a capacitance variation of each coordinate point. The touch information of the contact surface may also include other parameters, which are not specifically limited herein.

In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may determine the type of the contact surface based on the touch information of the side contact surface. The types of side contact surfaces formed by the user holding the electronic device may include: a large thenar contact surface, a finger grip contact surface, a tiger's mouth contact surface, and the like.

In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may adaptively adjust the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen based on the position of the side contact surface in the side screen and the touch information of the side contact surface. In the embodiment of the present application, specific implementations of determining the touch area and the non-touch area on the side screen may include, but are not limited to, the following two implementations.

In implementation mode 1, the electronic device may determine the touch area and the non-touch area in the side screen based on the position of the side contact surface in the side screen and the touch information of the side contact surface.

In implementation 2, the electronic device may determine a holding state of the user based on the position of the side contact surface and the position of the side contact surface in one or both of the side screens, and further determine the touch area and the non-touch area in both of the side screens of the electronic device in the holding state.

In implementation 3, for the wrap-around screen shown in fig. 6A and the folded screen shown in fig. 7A, when the user grips the electronic device longitudinally, the grip surface of the palm of the user also includes the display screen, i.e., the back surface screen. The electronic equipment can determine touch areas and non-touch areas in two side screens of the electronic equipment according to touch information of a contact surface of a palm of a user and a back screen.

In implementation 1, determining the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen may include, but is not limited to, cases 1 to 6.

Case 1:

in some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device determines that the side contact surface of the side screen includes a big thenar contact surface based on the touch information of the side contact surface, and the electronic device determines the positions of the touch area and the non-touch area in the side screen based on the position of the big thenar contact surface.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 37A to 37D, the electronic device determines that the side contact surface of the side screen 1 includes the thenar contact surface 301. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 37A and 37C, when the shortest distance between the big thenar contact surface 301 and the top end of the side screen 1 is greater than or equal to L1, the electronic device determines that the touch area 1 of the side screen 1 is located between the top end of the side screen 1 and the big thenar contact surface 301, and the area of the side screen 1 other than the touch area 1 is the non-touch area 1. As shown in fig. 37B and 37D, when the shortest distance between the big thenar contact surface 301 and the top end of the side screen 1 is smaller than L1, the electronic device determines that the side screen 1 is the non-touch area 1. Here, the shortest distance between the touch area 1 and the large thenar contact surface 301 in fig. 37A and 37C is equal to the distance 1. In some embodiments, the shortest distance between the touch area 1 and the top end of the side screen 1 is a distance 2.

For example, L1 is equal to half the length of the long side of the display screen; distance 1 may be equal to the height of 5 coordinate points; the distance 2 is equal to 0 or 3 coordinates points in height.

Referring to fig. 8B, in the embodiment of the present application, the height of the coordinate point refers to the height of one grid in the touch screen array of the touch sensor 50 along the long side of the electronic device, and the width of the coordinate point refers to the width of the grid along the short side of the electronic device.

Similarly, as shown in the right-hand longitudinal holding state shown in fig. 31B, the two-hand longitudinal holding state shown in fig. 32B, and the electronic device shown in fig. 30C having only one side screen, when the side screen includes a large thenar contact surface, the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen may also be determined by the above-mentioned embodiment, which is not described herein again.

In some embodiments, the electronic device determines that the electronic device is in the landscape state, and when the shortest distance between the big thenar contact surface 301 and the top end (or the bottom end) of the side screen 2 is greater than or equal to L1, the electronic device determines that the touch area 1 of the side screen 1 is located between the top end (or the bottom end) of the side screen and the big thenar contact surface 301, and the area of the side screen 1 except the touch area 1 is the non-touch area 1. When the shortest distances between the large thenar contact surface 301 and the top and bottom ends of the side screen are both smaller than L2, the electronic device determines that the side screens 1 are all non-touch areas 1. The shortest distance between the touch area 1 and the big thenar contact surface 301 is equal to the distance 1. In some embodiments, the shortest distance between the touch area 1 and the top (or bottom) of the side screen is distance 2.

In some embodiments, when the electronic device is in a landscape state and the side screen 1 is located below other screens, the side screen 1 is a non-touch area 1.

As shown in fig. 37A, the top end of the side screen 1 refers to the top boundary line of the side screen 1, and the bottom end of the side screen 1 refers to the bottom boundary line of the side screen 1. In the embodiment of the present application, the distance between the contact surface and the top end of the side screen 1 may refer to the shortest distance between the contact surface and the top boundary line of the side screen 1; the distance of the contact surface from the bottom end of the side screen 1 may refer to the shortest distance of the contact surface from the bottom boundary line of the side screen 1. In one implementation, the top border line of the side screen 1 coincides with an extension of the top border line of the front screen, and the bottom border line of the side screen 1 coincides with an extension of the bottom border line of the front screen.

Case 2:

in some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device determines that the side contact surface of the side screen includes the contact surface set based on the touch information of the side contact surface. The electronic equipment determines the positions of the touch area and the non-touch area in the side screen based on the positions of the contact surface set.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 37A to 37D, the electronic device determines that the side contact surface of the side screen 2 includes a contact surface set 302. Wherein the contact patch set 302 includes at least 4 finger grip contact patches, and the minimum distance between any two adjacent contact patches is less than the distance threshold 1. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 37A and 37B, when the shortest distance between the contact surface set 302 and the top end of the side screen 2 is greater than or equal to L2, the electronic device determines that the touch area 2 of the side screen 2 is located between the top end of the side screen 2 and the contact surface set 302, and the area of the side screen 2 other than the touch area 2 is the non-touch area 2. As shown in fig. 37C and 37D, when the shortest distance between the contact surface set 302 and the top end of the side screen 2 is smaller than L2, the electronic device determines that the side screen 2 is the non-touch area 2. The shortest distance between the touch area 2 and the contact surface set 302 in fig. 37A and 37B is equal to the distance 3. In some embodiments, the shortest distance between the touch area 2 and the top end of the side screen 2 is a distance 4.

For example, L2 is equal to half the length of the long side of the display screen; distance 3 may be equal to the height of 5 coordinate points; the distance 4 is equal to 0 or the height of 3 coordinate points.

Similarly, as shown in the right-hand longitudinal holding state shown in fig. 31B and the electronic device shown in fig. 31C with only one side screen, when the side screen includes the contact surface set 302, the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen may also be determined by the above-mentioned embodiment, which is not described herein again.

In some embodiments, the electronic device determines that the electronic device is in the landscape state, and when the shortest distance between the contact area set 302 and the top end (or the bottom end) of the side screen 2 is greater than or equal to L2, the electronic device determines that the touch area 2 of the side screen 2 is located between the top end (or the bottom end) of the side screen and the contact area set 302, and the area of the side screen 2 other than the touch area 2 is the non-touch area 2. When the shortest distances between the contact surface set 302 and the top and bottom ends of the side screen 2 are both less than L2, the electronic device determines that the side screen 2 is the non-touch area 2. The shortest distance between the touch area 2 and the contact surface set 302 is equal to the distance 3. In some embodiments, the shortest distance between the touch area 2 and the top end (or the bottom end) of the side screen 2 is a distance 4.

In some embodiments, when the electronic device is in a landscape state and the side screen 2 is located below other screens, the side screen 2 is the non-touch area 2.

in some embodiments of the present application, when the electronic device determines that the side contact surface of the side screen includes the finger-grip contact surface based on the touch information of the side contact surface, and the distance between the finger-grip contact surface and one end of the side screen is greater than or equal to L5, the electronic device determines that the touch area in the side screen is located between the end of the side screen and the finger-grip contact surface based on the position of the finger-grip contact surface.

For example, as the electronic device configured with two side screens shown in fig. 38A and the electronic device configured with one side screen shown in fig. 38B, when the side screen 1 includes the finger-grip contact surface 601 and the distance between the finger-grip contact surface 601 and the top of the right end of the side screen 1 is equal to or greater than L5, the electronic device determines that the touch area 1 of the side screen 1 is located between the right end of the side screen and the finger-grip contact surface 601. The shortest distance between the touch area 1 and the finger-holding contact surface 601 is equal to the distance 7. In some embodiments, the shortest distance between the touch area 1 and the top end of the right end of the side screen is equal to the distance 8.

Case 4:

in some embodiments of the application, when the electronic device determines that the side contact surface of the side screen includes a web contact surface based on the touch information of the side contact surface, and the distance between the web contact surface and one end of the side screen is greater than or equal to L6, the electronic device determines that the touch area in the side screen is located between the one end of the side screen and the web contact surface based on the position of the web contact surface.

For example, as shown in fig. 38A, in the electronic device configured with two side screens, when the left end of the side screen 2 includes the web contact surface 602, and the distance between the web contact surface 602 and the top of the right end of the side screen 2 is greater than or equal to L6, the electronic device determines that the touch area 2 of the side screen 2 is located between the right end of the side screen and the web contact surface 602. The shortest distance between the touch area 2 and the first web contact surface 602 is equal to the distance 9. In some embodiments, the shortest distance between the touch area 1 and the top of the right end of the side screen is equal to the distance 10.

Similarly, the electronic device shown in fig. 38C having only one side screen may also determine the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen through the above-mentioned embodiment, which is not described herein again.

in some embodiments of the present application, the side screen includes two finger-grip contact surfaces, wherein when the shortest distance between the two finger-grip contact surfaces is greater than or equal to L7, the electronic device determines that the touch area of the side screen is located between the two finger-grip contact surfaces.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 39A to 39D, the left end of the side screen 1 includes a finger-grip contact surface 701, and the right end includes a finger-grip contact surface 703. As the electronic device configured with two side screens shown in fig. 39A and the electronic device configured with one side screen shown in fig. 39B, when the shortest distance between the finger-hold contact surface 701 and the finger-hold contact surface 703 is equal to or greater than L7, the electronic device determines that the touch area 1 of the side screen 1 is located between the finger-hold contact surface 701 and the finger-hold contact surface 703. As shown in fig. 39C of the electronic device configured with two side screens and fig. 39D of the electronic device configured with one side screen, when the shortest distance between the finger-grip contact surface 701 and the finger-grip contact surface 703 is smaller than L7, the electronic device determines that the side screen 1 is the non-touch area 1. The shortest distance between the touch area 1 and the finger-holding contact surface 701 is equal to the distance 7, and the shortest distance between the touch area 1 and the finger-holding contact surface 703 is also equal to the distance 7.

Case 6:

in some embodiments of the present application, the side screen includes two web contact surfaces, and when a shortest distance between the two web contact surfaces is greater than or equal to L8, the electronic device determines that the touch area of the side screen is located between the two web contact surfaces.

For example, referring to fig. 39A to 39G, the left end of the side screen 2 includes a web contact surface 702, and the right end includes a web contact surface 704. As shown in fig. 39A, in the electronic device configured with two side screens, when the shortest distance between the web contact surface 702 and the web contact surface 704 and the side screen 2 is greater than or equal to L8, the electronic device determines that the touch area 2 of the side screen 2 is located between the web contact surface 702 and the web contact surface 704. As shown in fig. 39F, in the electronic device configured with two side screens, when the shortest distance between the thumb-grip contact surface 702 and the thumb-grip contact surface 704 and the side screen 2 is less than 8, the electronic device determines that the side screens 2 are both uncontrolled areas 2. The shortest distance between the touch area 2 and the first web contact surface 702 is equal to the distance 9, and the shortest distance between the touch area 1 and the first web contact surface 704 is also equal to the distance 9.

Similarly, the electronic device shown in fig. 39E having only one side screen may also determine the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen through the above embodiments, and details are not repeated here.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 39G, the electronic device determines that one side screen includes two tiger's mouth contact surfaces, and the electronic device determines that the side screen is a non-touch area.

Then, the electronic equipment determines the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen based on the position of the large thenar contact surface and the position of the contact surface set on the side screen. Similarly, in the state of being held vertically by the right hand, how to determine the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen may refer to the related embodiments of being held vertically by the left hand, and details thereof are not repeated herein.

In another implementation, as shown in fig. 39G, the electronic device determines that the side screens 2 are all non-touch areas 2.

In implementation 3, the specific determination of the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen may include, but is not limited to, the following cases.

Case 13:

for the wrap-around screen shown in fig. 6A and the folded screen shown in fig. 7A, when the user grips the electronic device lengthwise, the grip surface of the palm of the user's hand also includes the display screen. For example, when the user grips the electronic device with his left hand in the longitudinal direction, fig. 41A to 41D are schematic diagrams showing the contact surface 304 of the palm of the user's hand with the rear screen of the electronic device. It is understood that, since the palm is not planar, the formed contact surface may also be irregular, the contact surface 304 may also be composed of a plurality of independent contact surfaces, and the contact surface 304 is only a schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application and is not limited to the embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device determines that the user holds the electronic device vertically with one hand based on the touch information of the contact surface 304 of the back screen, and thus may determine the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen.

For example, as shown in fig. 41A, when the shortest distance between the left side of the contact surface 304 and the top of the display screen 194 is equal to or greater than L3, the side screen 1 includes a touch area 1, the shortest distance between the touch area 1 and the left side of the contact surface 304 is distance 5, and the distance between the touch area 1 and the top of the side screen is distance 6. As shown in fig. 41B, when the shortest distance between the left side of the contact surface 304 and the top of the display screen 194 is smaller than L3, all the side screens 1 are non-touch areas 1.

Similarly, as shown in fig. 41A and 41B, when the shortest distance between the right side of the contact surface 304 and the top of the display screen 194 is equal to or greater than L3, the side screen 2 includes a touch area 2, the shortest distance between the touch area 2 and the left side of the contact surface 304 is distance 5, and the distance between the touch area 2 and the top of the side screen is distance 6. As shown in fig. 41C and 41D, when the shortest distance between the right side of the contact surface 304 and the top of the display screen 194 is smaller than L3, both the side screens 2 are non-touch areas 2. As can be seen from fig. 41D, the shortest distance between the left side of the touch surface 304 and the top of the display screen 194 and the shortest distance between the right side of the touch surface 304 and the top of the display screen 194 are both less than L3. In this case, both the side screen 1 and the side screen 2 are non-touch areas.

In some embodiments of the present application, the back screen may also interact with information with a user while the user is holding the electronic device in a portrait orientation. The electronic device may also determine the touch and non-touch areas of the back screen based on the location of the contact surface 304.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 41E, when the shortest distance between the contact surface 304 and the top end of the display screen 194 is equal to or greater than L4, the back screen includes a touch area 3, and the shortest distance between the touch area 3 and the contact surface 304 along the long side of the electronic device is a distance 11. As shown in fig. 41F, when the shortest distance between the contact surface 304 and the top of the display screen 194 is smaller than L4, the back screen is a non-touch area.

In the embodiment of the present application, any two parameters of the distance 1, the distance 3, the distance 5, the distance 7, and the distance 9 may be equal or unequal; any two parameters of the distance 2, the distance 4, the distance 6, the distance 7 and the distance 8 can be equal or unequal; any two parameters of L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 and L6 may be equal or unequal; l7 and L8 may or may not be equal. Are not particularly limited herein.

In the embodiment of the present application, L1 may also be referred to as a first preset value, L2 may also be referred to as a second preset value, L5 may also be referred to as a third preset value, L6 may also be referred to as a fourth preset value, L7 may also be referred to as a fifth preset value, and L8 may also be referred to as a sixth preset value.

As shown in fig. 29, when the user does not hold the electronic device, the touch operation 1 applied to the side screen may trigger the function 1, and the touch operation 2 applied to the side screen may trigger the function 2. In the embodiment of the application, after the electronic device determines the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen based on the holding contact surface of the user, the electronic device only responds to the touch operation acting on the touch area of the side screen.

In some embodiments of the application, a control is displayed on a side screen of an electronic device, the electronic device determines a touch area of the side screen based on a holding contact surface of a user, and the control is adjusted to be displayed in the touch area of the side screen. The electronic equipment detects a touch operation 1 acting on the control in the touch area, and responds to the touch operation 1 to start a function 1 triggered by the touch operation 1.

For example, as shown in fig. 42, after the electronic device determines the touch area of the side screen based on the holding contact surface of the user, the control frame 201 of the side screen is adjusted to be displayed in the touch area of the side screen.

In another implementation, the side screen of the electronic device does not display a control, and the electronic device determines the touch area of the side screen based on the holding contact surface of the user. The electronic device may identify the touch operation 2 based on a touch trajectory, a touch duration, and the like of the touch operation 2 in the touch area of the side screen, so as to determine and start the function 2 triggered by the touch operation 2.

It can be understood that when the user holds the electronic device, the electronic device determines the touch area of the side screen based on the holding contact surface of the user, and the touch area of the side screen can perform information interaction with the user, so as to provide a preset function of the side screen, that is, a touch operation triggering the preset function needs to be applied to the touch area of the side screen.

How to determine the type of side contact surface is described below.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 44, the schematic diagram is a capacitance diagram of the touch-sensing upper side contact surface of the screen provided by the embodiment of the present application. The darker the color of the graph points in fig. 44 indicates the stronger the capacitance signal value. The characteristics of the touch information of different types of side contact surfaces are different.

It should be noted that the finger-click contact surface for normal touch operation has the following features: the capacitance signal at the center of the contact surface is strongest, and the capacitance signal at the edge is weaker; the contact surface is elliptical; the width of the contact surface is small and the difference between the width of the contact surface and the height of the contact surface is small. For example, the width is a width of 3 coordinate points and the height is a height of 3 coordinate points. As shown in fig. 44, the finger gripping contact surface in the side contact surface has the following features: the characteristics and the shape of the capacitance signal of the contact surface are similar to those of the finger clicking contact surface; compared with the finger-click contact surface, the pressing force degree of the user when the user holds the mobile terminal to form the finger-click contact surface is larger, so that the area of the contact surface is larger, and the touch time of the contact surface is longer. For example, the width is a width of 3 coordinate points and the height is a height of 4 coordinate points.

The thenar contact surface in the side contact surface has the following characteristics: the capacitance signal of the most marginal coordinate column of the contact surface is strongest, the capacitance signal is weaker as the distance from the side edge of the display screen is farther, and the signal change trend is smoother; the shape of the contact surface is strip-shaped; the height of the contact surface is large and the difference from the width of the contact surface is large. For example, the width is a width of 3 coordinate points and the height is a height of 12 coordinate points.

The finger gripping contact surface in the side contact surface has the following features: compared with a touch surface clicked by a finger, the capacitive signal of the most marginal coordinate column closest to the side screen in the touch surface is weaker, the capacitive signal is weaker the farther away from the side of the display screen, and the signal change trend is large; the shape of the contact surface is strip-shaped; compared with a finger for clicking a contact surface, the width of the contact surface is smaller; the height of the contact surface is smaller compared with the larger thenar contact surface. For example, the width is a width of 2 coordinate points and the height is a height of 4 coordinate points.

The tiger's mouth contact surface in the side contact surface has following characteristics: similar to a large thenar contact surface, the capacitance signal of the most marginal coordinate column closest to the side screen in the contact surface is strongest, the capacitance signal is weaker as the distance from the side of the display screen is farther, and the signal change trend is smoother; the shape of the contact surface is strip-shaped; the height of the contact surface is smaller compared with the larger thenar contact surface. For example, the width is a width of 3 coordinate points and the height is a height of 6 coordinate points.

In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may train the type of the side contact using a neural network, and may identify the type of the side contact.

In the embodiment of the present application, the width of the contact surface is the maximum length of the contact surface along the short side of the mobile terminal, and the height of the contact surface is the maximum length of the contact surface along the long side of the mobile terminal. The edge-most coordinate column of the contact surface is the coordinate column closest to the long edge of the mobile terminal in the touch screen array corresponding to the contact surface on the touch screen of the mobile terminal. And the secondary edge coordinate column of the contact surface is a second column coordinate column which is closest to the long edge of the mobile terminal in the touch screen array corresponding to the contact surface on the touch screen of the mobile terminal.

In the embodiment of the present application, the capacitance signal strength may also be referred to as a capacitance value; the contact surface may also be referred to as a contact area.

In addition, in the embodiment of the application, in order to avoid interference caused by objects such as sweat on the touch screen, the electronic device may exclude the interference contact surface in the contact surface on the touch screen according to the touch information of the contact surface. In some embodiments, the electronic device may determine a contact surface with a capacitance signal average value less than or equal to a first threshold as the interfering contact surface. In some embodiments, the electronic device may determine a contact surface having an area equal to or less than a second threshold as the interference contact surface. In some embodiments, the electronic device may determine a contact surface with a capacitance signal average value equal to or less than a first threshold and an area equal to or less than a second threshold as the interfering contact surface.

A hardware system of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application is described below.

In some embodiments of the present application, for example, as shown in fig. 45, the hardware system may include a touch sensor 61, a display screen 62, a touch chip 63, a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) 64, and an Application Processor (AP) 65. The display screen 62 may be the display screen 194 in the foregoing embodiment, and the touch sensor 61 may be the touch sensor 180K in the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein again.

The touch sensor 61 can be used to detect a capacitance signal generated by a touch operation and upload the capacitance signal generated by the touch operation of the user to the touch chip 63. Specifically, referring to the related embodiment of fig. 7B, the touch sensor 61 may detect a capacitance signal of the capacitor array and send the capacitance signal of the capacitor array to the touch chip 63.

The touch chip 63 may determine a capacitance signal satisfying the touch condition based on all capacitance signals on the capacitance matrix detected by the touch sensor 61. For example, the touch condition may be that the capacitance value signal strength is greater than threshold 1. In some embodiments of the present application, the touch chip 63 reports the capacitance signal satisfying the touch condition and the coordinate point of the capacitance signal to the application processor 65. Based on the coordinate points of the capacitance signals, the application processor 65 may call a false touch prevention algorithm to determine the touch areas and the non-touch areas of the side screen. Then, the application processor 65 performs event recognition and response based on the coordinate points in the touch area reported by the touch chip 63.

It can be understood that the touch chip 63 filters out the capacitance signal whose capacitance signal strength is less than or equal to the threshold 1, and reports the capacitance signal whose capacitance signal strength is greater than the threshold 1 to the application processor 65, so as to avoid invalid interference signals.

In some embodiments of the present application, the touch chip 63 determines a capacitance signal satisfying a touch condition and a coordinate point of the capacitance signal. Based on the coordinate points of the capacitance signals, the touch chip 63 may call an anti-false touch algorithm to determine the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen. The touch chip 63 reports the coordinate points located in the touch area to the application processor 65, and the application processor 65 performs event identification and response based on the coordinate points reported by the touch chip 63.

In the embodiment of the present application, the software system of the electronic device may adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a micro-core architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. The embodiment of the application takes an Android system with a layered architecture as an example, and exemplarily illustrates a software structure of an electronic device.

Referring to fig. 46, fig. 46 shows a block diagram of a software structure of an electronic device exemplarily provided by an embodiment of the present application. The electronic equipment can determine the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen through the touch information of the contact surface of the electronic equipment held by a user, so that the misoperation risk in the interaction process of the user and the side screen is effectively reduced, and the use experience of the user is improved.

As shown in fig. 46, the layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each layer having a clear role and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system may be divided into an application framework layer, a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) layer, and a kernel layer (kernel) from top to bottom. Wherein:

the application layer includes a series of application packages, such as smart home, bluetooth, WLAN, etc. Applications such as cameras, galleries, telephony, music, video, etc. may also be included.

The application framework layer provides an Application Programming Interface (API) and a programming framework for the application program of the application layer. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions.

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 kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer may include a display driver, a sensor driver, a touch IC driver, and may further include a camera driver, an audio driver, and the like. The HAL layer and kernel layer (kernel) may perform corresponding operations in response to functions called by the application framework layer.

In some embodiments of the present application, when the touch sensor 61 receives a touch operation, a corresponding hardware interrupt is sent to the touch chip, and the touch chip 63 sends touch information 1 of the touch operation to the touch chip driver of the kernel layer. The touch information 1 includes coordinate points of a side contact surface where the user holds the electronic apparatus. The kernel layer sends the touch information 1 to a touch screen process (TP Daemon) through a path (1); the TP Daemon calls a touch screen Algorithm 1(TP Algorithm) through a path (2) to acquire characteristic information of the touch information 1; calling an anti-false touch algorithm by the TP Daemon through a path (3), determining a touch area and a non-touch area of the side screen based on the characteristic information, and further determining effective touch information 2 except the non-touch area in the touch information 1; the TP Daemon sends touch information 2 to a touch chip driver through a path (4); the touch chip driver sends touch information 2 to the input system through a path (5). And the application framework layer acquires the touch information 2 from the input system through the path (6), identifies the application function corresponding to the touch information 2 and further starts the application function. For example, the touch information 2 corresponds to a double-click event of the touch area of the side screen, the application framework layer starts the display driver by calling the kernel layer, and the volume adjustment frame 202 is displayed through the display screen 194.

In some embodiments, the TP Daemon calls an anti-false touch algorithm through the path (3), when the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen are determined based on the characteristic information, the anti-false touch algorithm acquires the horizontal and vertical screen states of the electronic device to the horizontal and vertical screen detection module through the path (7), and the anti-false touch algorithm determines the touch area and the non-touch area of the side screen based on the characteristic information and the horizontal and vertical screen states of the electronic device, so as to determine the effective touch information 2 outside the non-touch area in the touch information 1.
