Detailed Description

The terminology used in the description section of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments of the present application only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application.

First, related terms in the embodiments of the present application are described by way of example, but not limitation.

The electronic device with the touch screen, in particular to an electronic device with a touch display screen, wherein the touch screen in the electronic device can detect a user finger or other objects placed on the surface of the electronic device and can identify the placement position of the finger or the objects.

The electronic device with a foldable touch screen specifically refers to an electronic device with a foldable touch screen, wherein the foldable touch screen in the electronic device can be an integrally formed flexible screen, can also be a spliced screen composed of a plurality of flexible screens and a hinge between every two flexible screens, can be a spliced screen composed of a plurality of rigid screens and a flexible screen between every two rigid screens, can also be a spliced screen composed of a plurality of rigid screens and a hinge between every two rigid screens, and the like.

Referring to fig. 1, the electronic device having a foldable touch screen, the folding of the touch screen may include two folding forms, an inward folding of the touch screen on the inner side after folding and an outward folding of the touch screen on the outer side after folding. The folding of the electronic device is generally consistent with the folding of the touch screen, such as shown in fig. 1.

An electronic device having a foldable touch screen has different states based on whether the touch screen is folded or not, the touch screen being unfolded (see section 11 or section 14 in fig. 1), and the touch screen being fully folded being called a fully folded state (see section 13 or section 16 in fig. 1).

In this embodiment of the present application, the change of the folding angle of the touch screen in the direction from the unfolded state to the fully folded state is referred to as closing of the touch screen. The closing of the touch screen may be from an unfolded state to a fully folded state of the touch screen, see sections 11 to 13 in fig. 1, or, see sections 14 to 16 in fig. 1; it is also possible to change the folding angle in this direction, for example from part 11 to part 12 in fig. 1, or from part 12 to part 13 in fig. 1, or from part 14 to part 15 in fig. 1, or from part 15 to part 16 in fig. 1, etc.

In this embodiment of the present application, the change of the folding angle of the touch screen in the direction from the fully folded state to the unfolded state is referred to as the opening of the touch screen. Similar to the closing of the touch screen, the opening of the touch screen may be from a fully folded state to an unfolded state, or may be a change of a certain folding angle in this direction.

The touch screen is opened or closed, and the embodiment of the application is collectively called as the opening and closing state change of the touch screen.

In the prior art, along with the continuous expansion of the size of a touch screen on an electronic device, the frame of the electronic device is continuously reduced, when a user performs an opening or closing operation on the electronic device with a foldable touch screen, no matter the electronic device is folded inwards or outwards, especially when the electronic device is folded outwards, the hand of the user is difficult to not contact with the touch screen, the contact area is large generally, the contact frequency is frequent, and if the touch screen is in an activated state, the false touch operation is easily caused on the touch screen. Therefore, the embodiment of the application provides a control method of a screen state and an electronic device, which can reduce the false touch operation of a user on a touch screen when the user opens or closes the electronic device with the touch screen in an activated state.

The embodiment of the application can be applied to electronic equipment with a foldable touch screen, and the electronic equipment can comprise, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer and the like.

Hereinafter, a control method of the screen state in the embodiment of the present application will be described.

Fig. 2A is a flowchart of one embodiment of a method for controlling a screen state of the present application, as shown in fig. 2A, the method for controlling a screen state may include:

step 201: the electronic equipment detects that the opening and closing state of the touch screen starts to change, detects the operation of a user in a preset sensing area, and sets the touch screen to be in a disabled state, wherein the disabled state is that the touch screen does not respond to the touch operation of the user.

Referring to fig. 2B, the touch screen is an integrally formed flexible screen or a spliced screen, and a rotating mechanism is generally provided at a foldable portion of the touch screen to support the opening or closing of the touch screen, for example, the rotating structure of the spliced screen may be the hinge, and when the rotating structure moves, it is indicated that the opening and closing state of the foldable touch screen changes, that is, the opening and closing state of the electronic device changes. Based on this, in one possible implementation, the electronic device may detect whether the opening and closing state of the touch screen changes by detecting whether the rotating mechanism of the touch screen generates motion, for example, a hall sensor may be used to detect whether the rotating mechanism generates motion.

Optionally, the detection of the user operation in the preset sensing area is generally performed during the process of changing the open-close state.

Wherein the preset sensing area is an area in which an operation of the user can be detected. The preset sensing region may include: an entity sensing area, and/or a virtual sensing area; the physical sensing area is an entity area which is arranged outside the touch screen and can detect the operation of a user, and the virtual sensing area is an area on the touch screen.

The user's operations may include, but are not limited to: pressing, single-finger touching, two-finger touching, double clicking, pressing preset time, single-finger touching preset time, or two-finger touching preset time, etc.

Step 202: and ending the disabled state of the touch screen when the effective time of the operation of the user is ended or the change of the opening and closing state of the touch screen is ended.

The embodiment of the application is not limited, for example, the touch screen may be set according to the state of the touch screen when the change of the open-close state of the touch screen is terminated, for example, if the change of the open-close state of the touch screen is terminated, the touch screen is in a fully folded state after being folded inwards, as shown in part 16 in fig. 1, and at this time, the user cannot use the touch screen, and the touch screen may still be set to the disabled state.

Alternatively, when the valid time of the operation of the user ends or the change of the open-close state of the touch screen ends, the above-mentioned disabled state of ending the touch screen may be achieved by setting the touch screen to the active state or other states. The active state and the disabled state are opposite, and the active state is that the touch screen responds to touch operation of a user.

The method comprises the following three conditions: one is that the effective time of the operation of the user ends, but the change of the opening and closing state is not terminated, ending the disabled state of the touch screen; the other condition is that the effective time of the operation of the user is not ended, the change of the opening and closing state is ended, and the disabled state of the touch screen is ended; the third case is that the effective time of the user operation is ended and the change of the open-close state is ended, ending the disabled state of the touch screen.

The valid time of the user operation refers to the duration of the disabled state preset for the user operation.

In one possible implementation, if the operation of the user is an operation with no time limitation, such as pressing, single-finger touch, or two-finger touch, the effective time of the operation of the user may be: and in the time of executing the operation by the user, namely in the process that the opening and closing state of the touch screen is changed by the electronic equipment, detecting the operation of the user in a preset sensing area, setting the touch screen to be in an enabling state, detecting the end of the operation of the user, and ending the enabling state of the touch screen. From the perspective of the user, the user performs an operation in the preset sensing area, the touch screen is not enabled, the operation of the user in the preset sensing area is finished, and the disabled state of the touch screen is also finished.

For example, referring to fig. 2C, assuming that the user operates to press, the touch screen is folded outwards, the entire change of the open/close state of the touch screen is changed from the unfolded state to the fully folded state, the user presses the preset sensing area 211 during the folding from the unfolded state shown in part 21 to the folded angle shown in part 22, and the user does not press the preset sensing area 211 during the folding from the folded angle shown in part 22 to the fully folded state; then, the electronic device detects a pressing operation of the user in a preset sensing area in the process of folding from the unfolded state shown in the part 21 to the folding angle shown in the part 22, and sets the touch screen to a disabled state; in the process of folding from the folding angle shown in the part 22 to the fully folded state, the electronic device does not detect the pressing operation of the user in the preset sensing area, and ends the disabled state of the touch screen, and sets the touch screen to be in the activated state.

In another possible implementation manner, if the operation of the user is an operation with a time limitation, such as double click, pressing for a preset time, single-finger touch for a preset time, or two-finger touch for a preset time, the effective time of the operation of the user may be: a preset time period after the end of the operation by the user, or a termination of the change from the end of the operation by the user to the open-close state, etc. And when the effective time of the operation of the user is from the end of the operation of the user to the termination of the change of the opening and closing state, detecting the operation of the user in a preset sensing area in the process of changing the opening and closing state of the electronic equipment, setting the touch screen to be in a non-enabled state until the termination of the change of the opening and closing state, and setting the touch screen to be in an activated state. From the perspective of the user, the user performs an operation in the preset sensing area, and the touch screen is not enabled until the change of the opening and closing state is finished.

For example, referring to fig. 2C, assuming that the user operates to press for 1s, the entire change of the open/close state of the touch screen is changed from the unfolded state to the fully folded state, and the user presses the preset sensing area 211 during the process of folding from the unfolded state shown in the portion 21 to the folded angle shown in the portion 22, the duration of the process of folding from the unfolded state shown in the portion 21 to the folded angle shown in the portion 22 is 1.5s; during the folding from the folding angle shown in section 22 to the fully folded state, the user does not press the preset sensing region 211; then, the electronic device detects a pressing operation of the user in a preset sensing area in the process of folding from the unfolded state shown in the part 21 to the folding angle shown in the part 22, and the pressing duration is 1.5s, and sets the touch screen to a disabled state; the electronic device still sets the touch screen to the disabled state in the event that the user's pressing operation is not detected in the preset sensing area during the folding from the folding angle shown in part 22 to the fully folded state.

Optionally, after setting the touch screen to the disabled state, the embodiment of the present application may further include:

And displaying a preset User Interface (UI) effect on the touch screen, wherein the preset UI effect is used for prompting the user that the touch screen is in a disabled state.

Optionally, the UI effect may be kept displayed on the touch screen within a preset period after the disabled state of the touch screen ends.

Optionally, in the process of changing the opening and closing state of the touch screen, if it is detected that the opening and closing state of the touch screen changes in the opposite direction to the current changing direction, ending the process triggered by the user in the current changing process.

In the control method of the screen state shown in fig. 2A, the electronic device detects that the open-close state of the foldable touch screen changes, if the operation of the user is detected in the preset sensing area during the change of the open-close state, the touch screen on the electronic device is set to be in an disabled state, and when the effective time of the operation of the user is over or the change of the open-close state is terminated, the disabled state of the touch screen is ended, so that when the user opens or closes the electronic device with the touch screen in an active state, the false touch operation of the user on the touch screen can be reduced.

Fig. 3A is a flowchart of another embodiment of a control method for screen status of the present application, as shown in fig. 3A, where the control method for screen status may include:

Step 301: an entity sensing area is set on the electronic device in advance.

The entity sensing area is generally disposed on the electronic device when the electronic device is manufactured.

Wherein, the physical sensing area may be set in: a non-touch screen area of the electronic device; for example, referring to fig. 3B and 3C, the physical sensing area may be disposed on a left side of the electronic device, and/or a right side of the electronic device, and/or an upper side of the electronic device, and/or a lower side of the electronic device, and/or a back side of the electronic device, and/or a front side of the electronic device, etc. Here, the front surface of the electronic device is the surface where the touch screen is located. The location, shape, size, etc. of the physical sensing area in fig. 3B and 3C are only examples, and are not intended to limit the physical sensing area in the embodiments of the present application.

Wherein the number of physical sensing areas may be one or more. For example, referring to fig. 3B, the physical sensing area may be disposed at any one or more of the front side of the electronic device, 6 areas near the touch screen, and/or the physical sensing area may be disposed at any one or more of the 3 areas of the left side of the electronic device, and/or the physical sensing area may be disposed at any one or more of the 3 areas of the right side of the electronic device, and/or the physical sensing area may be disposed at any one or more of the 3 areas of the upper side of the electronic device, and/or the physical sensing area may be disposed at any one or more of the 3 areas of the lower side of the electronic device, and/or the physical sensing area may be disposed at any one or more of the 8 areas of the back side of the electronic device, as shown in fig. 3C.

In one possible implementation, the number of physical sensing areas may be 1 or 2, considering cost and compact design style. For example, referring to fig. 3D, the number of the entity sensing regions 211 is set to 1 and is disposed at the upper side of the electronic device, thereby saving costs and ensuring a simple design style of the front side of the electronic device.

In another possible implementation, the physical sensing area may be provided in an area that conforms to the user's usage or holding habits. For example, referring to fig. 3E, if the user holds the right thumb at the middle of the right side of the electronic device during the change of the opening/closing state of the touch screen, the physical sensing area may be disposed on the front of the electronic device and near the middle area 212 of the touch screen area.

In yet another possible implementation, the placement of the physical sensing area may also take into account whether the electronic device is folded in or out. For example, if the electronic device is folded inwards, the physical sensing area may be disposed on the back of the electronic device, if the electronic device is folded outwards, the physical sensing area may be disposed on the front of the electronic device, by which, in the case that the touch screen cannot be enabled only by continuously pressing the physical sensing area, the effect of setting the physical sensing area is prevented from being affected because the angle is too small during the folding process of the touch screen, as shown in fig. 3F, the finger pressed on the physical sensing area must be separated before the folding is not completed.

The physical sensing area may be a push switch, or a button, or a tactile area. In one possible implementation, if the physical sensing area is a touch sensing area and the number is 1, the physical sensing area may be combined with the fingerprint identifier, so that the electronic device may combine the process of fingerprint authentication in a subsequent step, increasing the security of the electronic device.

Step 302: the electronic device detects whether the opening and closing state of the touch screen is changed, and if so, step 303 is executed; otherwise, step 302 is continued.

Step 303: in the process of changing the opening and closing state of the touch screen, the electronic device detects the operation of the user in a preset entity sensing area, and if the operation of the user is detected, step 304 is executed; if no user operation is detected, step 305 is performed.

If the number of the physical sensing areas is greater than 1, step 304 may be executed if a user operation is detected in one physical sensing area; however, in practical applications, it may be preset that the operation of detecting the user in 2 or more entity sensing areas is required to identify that the operation of detecting the user in the entity sensing areas is performed, and step 304 is performed.

Step 304: the electronic equipment sets the touch screen to be in a disabled state until the effective time of the operation of a user is over or the change of the opening and closing state of the touch screen is terminated; and displaying a preset User Interface (UI) effect on the touch screen until the disabled state of the touch screen is finished or a preset time length after the disabled state of the touch screen is finished, and ending the branch flow.

After the effective time of the user operation is over or the change of the opening and closing state of the touch screen is over, the touch screen can be set to be in an activated state.

The preset UI effect is used for prompting a user that the touch screen is in a non-enabled state.

The limiting effect of the preset time length until the disabled state of the touch screen is ended or until the disabled state of the touch screen is ended is as follows: the display of the UI effect may disappear immediately when the disabled state of the touch screen ends, or may disappear after a preset time period is delayed, where the specific value of the preset time period is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Wherein the UI effect may include, but is not limited to:

popping up notification message effects and corresponding notification message disappearing effects; for example, as shown in fig. 4A, a notification message pops up in the middle of the touch screen, and after a certain period of time is displayed, the notification message disappears;

Or, the water surface ripple effect and the corresponding ripple vanishing effect; for example, as shown in fig. 4B, the ripple effect gradually extends from the middle of the touch screen to the periphery, and after a certain period of time is displayed, the ripple effect gradually contracts to the middle and disappears;

or, a locking icon effect and a corresponding locking icon vanishing effect appear; wherein, the effect of locking the icon can be: displaying the locked lock at one or more positions of the touch screen; the lock icon vanishing effect may be: the locking icon directly disappears, or an opened lock is displayed at one or more positions of the touch screen; the location where the lock occurs may include, but is not limited to: side, corner, center of the touch screen, and/or near the location where the user's finger touches the touch screen, etc.; for example, as shown in fig. 4C, a lock icon appears in the middle of the touch screen, and after a certain period of time is displayed, the lock icon disappears; or, for example, as shown in fig. 4D, the locked lock is displayed at the two corners of the lower left corner and the upper right corner of the touch screen, and after a certain period of time, the unlocked lock disappears;

or simulating a drawer pull-out effect and a corresponding simulated drawer closing effect; for example, as shown in fig. 4E, the simulated drawer pull-out effect may be: a semitransparent bar frame is pulled out from the edges of the two sides of the touch screen respectively; accordingly, the simulated drawer retraction effect may be: retracting the semitransparent bar frames from the two side edges; the translucent bar frame is shown in fig. 4E as a diagonally filled bar frame.

When the UI effect is displayed on the touch screen, the UI effect may be displayed on the entire touch screen, for example, as shown in fig. 4B and fig. 4E, or may be displayed only in a partial area of the touch screen, for example, as shown in fig. 4A, fig. 4C and fig. 4D.

Step 305: and in the process of changing the opening and closing state of the touch screen, if the electronic equipment detects that the opening and closing state of the touch screen changes in the opposite direction to the current changing direction, ending the process triggered by the user in the current opening and closing state changing process.

Based on the above description of the opening and closing of the touch screen, the opening and closing of the touch screen are two processes with opposite changing directions. The electronic device detecting that the opening and closing state of the touch screen is changed in the opposite direction to the current change direction means that the touch screen is detected to be changed from open to closed or from closed to open. For example, referring to fig. 5, when the touch screen is folded from the unfolded state of the portion 51 to the folded angle of the portion 52 in fig. 5, if the touch screen is unfolded from the folded angle of the portion 52 to the unfolded state of the portion 53, the electronic device detects that the open-close state of the touch screen is changed in the opposite direction to the current change in the process of changing the portion 52 from the closed state to the open state. If the opening and closing state of the touch screen is detected by detecting whether the rotating mechanism of the touch screen generates motion, the electronic device detecting that the opening and closing state of the touch screen is changed in opposite directions to the current changing direction may include: the electronic device detects that the rotating mechanism of the touch screen generates movement in the opposite direction.

Through the step, if the user does not operate the preset sensing area or the user's operation does not fall in the preset sensing area and mistakenly touches the link on the touch screen in the folding process, a new process is triggered, and the user can cancel the new process through the opposite direction change of the opening and closing state.

Optionally, when the number of the entity sensing areas in step 301 is 1 and the preset operation in step 303 is a touch operation, so that the fingerprint identifier can identify the fingerprint of the user, step 303 may further include: if the electronic device detects the operation of the user, acquiring the fingerprint of the user in the entity sensing area, comparing the fingerprint of the user with the pre-stored fingerprint, and correspondingly, if the electronic device detects the operation of the user and the comparison result is consistent, executing step 304, otherwise, executing step 305. The specific how to obtain the fingerprint of the user and how to compare the fingerprints are not described in detail in the present application. By means of fingerprint comparison, folding operation and disabling operation aiming at the entity sensing area can be guaranteed to be executed by a machine owner of the electronic equipment, and safety of the electronic equipment is improved.

Different from the embodiment of fig. 3A in which the entity sensing area is preset, the method of controlling the screen state of the embodiment of fig. 6A may also preset the virtual sensing area; the specific step flow of the embodiment of the present application shown in fig. 6A is shown in fig. 3A and the related description, and is not repeated herein, but the difference is mainly that the physical sensing area is replaced by the virtual sensing area.

Hereinafter, a virtual sensing area in the embodiment of the present application is described.

The virtual sensing area in the embodiment of the application is located on the touch screen. The virtual sensing area may be disposed in any area of the touch screen, and the size, shape and number of the virtual sensing areas are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

It should be noted that, the virtual sensing area is hidden in the normal state, and may not be perceived by the user when the touch screen is normally displayed, and the electronic device may not detect the operation of the user related to disabling the touch screen in the virtual sensing area, and only when the electronic device detects that the opening and closing state of the touch screen changes, the electronic device performs the sensing function in the virtual sensing area, and detects whether the user performs the operation of triggering disabling the touch screen in the virtual sensing area.

In one possible implementation, to make the use more convenient for the user, the virtual sensing area may be disposed at an edge position of the touch screen. For example, referring to fig. 6B, the virtual sensing area may be disposed at one or more areas among 4 corners of the touch screen; and/or, referring to fig. 6C, the virtual sensing region may be disposed at one or both of two edge regions near the left and right edges of the touch screen, as shown by the diagonal line filled region; and/or, as shown in fig. 6D, the virtual sensing area may be disposed at one or more areas of the 6 edge areas near the left and right edges of the touch screen. The positions, shapes, and sizes of the virtual sensing regions in fig. 6B to 6D are merely examples, and are not intended to limit the virtual sensing regions according to the embodiments of the present application.

In one possible implementation, 1 or more virtual sensing areas may be preset in the electronic device by a designer and manufacturer of the electronic device, for example, taking fig. 6D as an example, 6 areas in fig. 6D are preset in the electronic device to be virtual sensing areas; or in another possible implementation manner, a designer and a producer of the electronic device may set a plurality of virtual sensing area options in the electronic device in advance, as shown in fig. 6E, 8 virtual sensing area options are given, one or more virtual sensing area options conforming to their own use habits are selected by a user on a virtual sensing area setting interface of the electronic device, and after the user selects and confirms, the electronic device sets a virtual sensing area according to the virtual sensing area option selected by the user; it should be noted that, the user may modify the preset virtual sensing area in the electronic device at the virtual sensing area setting interface of the electronic device, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the UI effect is displayed on the touch screen, the UI effect may be displayed on the entire touch screen or a part of the touch screen, except that the UI effect may be similar to the embodiment shown in fig. 3A; in this embodiment of the present application, the UI effect may also be displayed only in a preset virtual sensing area, and even only in a virtual sensing area in which the operation of the user is detected. For example, if the preset virtual sensing area on the electronic device is area 1 to area 6 in fig. 6D, and the user operation is detected in area 1 and area 5, in the embodiment of the present application, UI effects may be displayed in all areas 1 to 6, or UI effects may be displayed only in area 1 and area 5, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

When the UI effect is displayed in the virtual sensing area, the UI effect may refer to the description in the embodiment shown in fig. 3A, or the UI effect displayed in the virtual sensing area may further include, but is not limited to: the special display of the virtual sensing area, such as color, brightness, transparency, contrast, etc. of the virtual sensing area is changed, or the dynamic effect, such as the simulated drawer pull-out effect, or the water surface ripple effect, etc. described in the embodiment of fig. 3A is superimposed on the virtual sensing area.

In contrast to the embodiment shown in fig. 6A in which the virtual sensing area is preset by the electronic device, or the user selects the preset virtual sensing area option, in order to better match and satisfy the usage habit of the user, in the embodiment of the present application shown in fig. 7A, the user is allowed to autonomously hand-draw the virtual sensing area. At this time, as shown in fig. 7A, step 601 may further include, based on the embodiment of the present application shown in fig. 6A, step 701:

step 701: the electronic equipment displays a drawing interface for a user and acquires a region drawn in the drawing interface by the user;

accordingly, step 601 may include: the electronic equipment presets a virtual sensing area according to the area drawn by the user.

The number of the areas drawn by the user in the drawing interface may be 1 or more, and the embodiment of the application is not limited.

Referring to fig. 7B, assuming that the user is used to touch the position of the right lower portion of the touch screen with the right hand and touches the left side edge of the touch screen with the left hand when opening and closing the touch screen, the electronic device may provide a virtual sensing area drawing interface for the user, and the user may draw a virtual sensing area similar to that shown in fig. 7C according to the user's own usage habit.

After the setting of the virtual sensing area is completed, the user can redraw the virtual sensing area on a drawing interface provided by the electronic device, or modify the virtual sensing area drawn before, so as to modify the virtual sensing area pre-stored in the electronic device, thereby enabling the virtual sensing area pre-stored in the electronic device to be better matched with the use habit of the user.

In order to enable the user to more accurately and effectively draw the virtual sensing area conforming to the habit of the user on the basis of showing the drawing interface to the user in the embodiment shown in fig. 7A, in the embodiment of the present application shown in fig. 8A, further showing a touch operation thermodynamic diagram or an area diagram to the user in the drawing interface, as shown in fig. 8A, before step 701 shown in fig. 7A, the method may further include the following steps:

step 801: the electronic device samples touch operation on the touch screen during the process of opening or closing the electronic device (namely, during the process of changing the opening and closing state of the touch screen) by a user.

The electronic device can always sample the touch operation of the user when the touch screen is opened or closed, but the power consumption of the electronic device is relatively large, so that the sampling time period or the sampling frequency is preferably limited to reduce the power consumption of the electronic device by the sampling operation.

In one possible implementation, the period of time for sampling may be preset in the electronic device, for example, within one month of initial use of the electronic device, or some fixed period of time per day, etc.; alternatively, the number of samplings may be preset in the electronic device, for example 1000 times.

In another possible implementation, the time period or number of sampling operations may be triggered by the user. For example, the user may set the electronic device to sample for one month from a certain point of time, or set the electronic device to sample for a certain fixed period of time per day, or set the number of times of sampling per day of the electronic device to 100 times, or the like.

Step 802: the electronic device forms a thermodynamic diagram or an area diagram according to the sampled touch operation.

The thermodynamic diagram is generally formed by overlapping areas with different colors to describe the thermal level of the continuous area. In the example shown in fig. 8B, the regions with different thermal values are displayed with different filling effects of the regions, the region with the largest number of times of user touch operation, that is, the region with the highest thermal force is displayed with the diagonal stripe region, the region with the second largest number of times of user touch operation, that is, the region with the highest thermal force is displayed with the diagonal stripe region, and the region with the third largest number of times of user touch operation, that is, the region with the lowest thermal force is displayed with the vertical stripe region.

When the area map is formed, the touch screen can be divided into a plurality of sub-areas, and the sub-areas with the touch times reaching a preset threshold value are drawn to form the area map. The specific threshold value can be set autonomously in practical applications. For example, as shown in fig. 8C, if the touch screen is divided into 16 sub-areas, and the sub-areas in which the number of touches reaches the preset threshold is 5, 8, 9, 12, 4 total areas, the area diagram is drawn as shown in fig. 8D.

Accordingly, step 701 may further include: and when the electronic equipment displays the drawing interface to the user, the thermodynamic diagram or the regional diagram is also displayed to the user.

In one possible implementation, the thermodynamic diagram or region diagram may be presented to the user as a background diagram of a drawing interface, such as shown in fig. 8B and 8D. By displaying the thermodynamic diagram or the regional diagram to the user, the user can more intuitively understand the habit of the user, so that the virtual sensing region conforming to the habit of the user can be more accurately and effectively drawn in step 701.

Unlike the embodiment shown in fig. 6A in which the virtual sensing area is preset by the electronic device, or the user selects a preset virtual sensing area option, another method for setting the virtual sensing area by the electronic device is provided in the embodiment shown in fig. 9. As shown in fig. 9, on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 6A, the following steps may be further included before step 601:

Step 901: the electronic equipment performs region division on the touch screen to obtain a plurality of sub-regions.

Step 902: the electronic equipment samples touch operation of a user on the touch screen in the process of opening or closing the electronic equipment, and counts the number of times that each sub-area obtained through dividing is touched by the sampled touch operation respectively.

The setting of the sampling timing may refer to the related description in step 801, which is not described herein.

Step 903: the electronic equipment selects a preset number of sub-areas according to the number of times each sub-area is touched and the order of the times from high to low.

For example, referring to fig. 8C, the electronic device divides the touch screen into 16 sub-areas, samples the touch operation of the user on the touch screen during the process of opening or closing the electronic device for a period of time or for a preset number of times, for example, counts the number of times each sub-area is touched respectively in the touch operation of the user for 100 times of opening or closing the electronic device, and assumes that the number of times of each sub-area is respectively from high to low: the areas 5-80, 12-59, 9-40, and 8-15 … … are not repeated, then the electronic device may select the sub-areas 5 and 12 as virtual sensing areas according to a preset number of virtual sensing areas, e.g., 2.

In another possible implementation, it is also possible not to count the centrally located sub-regions 7 to 12, but only the marginal sub-regions 1 to 6, without limitation. The above division of the touch screen into 16 areas is merely an example, and the number of the divided sub-areas of the touch screen and the division manner in the practical application are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Alternatively, a machine learning method may be used to identify the area with the largest number of touches by the user during the opening and closing of the electronic device.

Accordingly, step 601 in the embodiment of the present application may include: the electronic device presets a virtual sensing area according to the selected subarea.

In practical applications, the preset virtual sensing area shown in fig. 6A, the setting method of the three virtual sensing areas in which the user draws the virtual sensing area shown in fig. 7A and 8A and the setting method of the three virtual sensing areas in which the virtual sensing area is set by sampling in the embodiment shown in fig. 9 may be combined, and the user may autonomously decide which setting method of the virtual sensing area is used, and may select to delete the virtual sensing area set by some methods.

Unlike the embodiment shown in fig. 6A, in which the virtual sensing area is preset by the electronic device, in order to prevent the preset virtual sensing area from overlapping with the UI control in the display scene on the touch screen, in the embodiment shown in fig. 10A, the corresponding virtual sensing area is set according to the display scene of the touch screen, as shown in fig. 10A, step 601 is replaced by step 1001, and step 1002 is added between step 602 and step 603, specifically:

Step 1001: the electronic equipment presets virtual sensing areas corresponding to all display scenes.

The method for setting the virtual sensing area of each scene may refer to the method for setting the virtual sensing area in fig. 6A to 9, and is mainly different in that in the embodiment shown in fig. 10A, the virtual sensing area corresponds to a display scene, and different display scenes may correspond to the same or different virtual sensing areas.

Because the user may perform operations of opening or closing the electronic device under any application program interface of the electronic device, such as playing a video or a picture, browsing a web page, or playing a game interface, different virtual sensing areas may be set for different display scenes, and the virtual sensing areas in the scenes may be distinguished from all elements having display or hidden control instructions, such as icons, images, buttons, and the like, in the display scenes, so that the electronic device distinguishes whether the operations of the user in the process of opening or closing the touch screen are disabling operations for the virtual sensing areas or operations performed for the UI controls in the display scenes.

For example, in the display scene shown in fig. 10B, the interface shown in fig. 10B is being displayed, and the square portion in the interface is the UI icon, then if the preset virtual sensing area is the areas 1 to 4 shown in fig. 10B, it is obvious that the

areas

1 and 4 will overlap with the UI icon, at this time, the virtual sensing area of the display scene may be set as the

areas

2 and 3.

If the determination result in step 602 is yes, step 1002 is executed: in the process of changing the opening and closing state of the touch screen, acquiring a display scene on the touch screen when the opening and closing state of the touch screen starts to change, acquiring a virtual sensing area corresponding to the display scene, and then executing step 603;

accordingly, the virtual sensing area acquired in step 1002 in step 603 detects the operation of the user.

In order to prevent the preset virtual sensing area from overlapping with the UI control in the display scene on the touch screen, in the embodiment shown in fig. 11, the virtual sensing area for detecting the user operation is selected according to the display scene on the touch screen, specifically, as shown in fig. 11, step 1101 is further included between step 602 and step 603 in the embodiment shown in fig. 6A to 9:

step 1101: in the process of changing the opening and closing state of the touch screen, the electronic equipment acquires a preset virtual sensing area and acquires a display scene on the touch screen when the opening and closing state starts to change; a virtual sensing region that is not coincident with the UI control in the display scene is selected from the virtual sensing regions.

In the embodiment of the present application shown in fig. 11, steps 601 to 605 are only shown based on the step flow shown in fig. 6A, and other possible implementation steps may be referred to in fig. 7A to 9, which are not repeated here.

In a possible implementation manner, the selected virtual sensing area may be specifically displayed through a UI effect, so as to prompt the user about how to specifically display the virtual sensing area in the scene, which may be described with reference to the relevant UI effect in fig. 3A and fig. 6A, and will not be described herein.

The virtual sensing area selected according to the display scene in this step may be 1 or more.

Accordingly, in step 603, the electronic device detects the operation of the user in the virtual sensing area selected according to the display scene.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the electronic device may set either the physical sensing area or the virtual sensing area, and in fact, the electronic device may set both the physical sensing area and the virtual sensing area, and the specific implementation method may refer to the above embodiment and will not be described herein.

It is to be understood that some or all of the steps or operations in the above embodiments are merely examples, and embodiments of the present application may also perform other operations or variations of various operations. Furthermore, the various steps may be performed in a different order presented in the above embodiments, and it is possible that not all of the operations in the above embodiments are performed.

It converts the data to be transmitted between serial communication and parallel communication. In some embodiments, a UART interface is typically used to connect the processor 1310 with the wireless communication module 1360. For example: the processor 1310 communicates with a bluetooth module in the wireless communication module 1360 through a UART interface to implement a bluetooth function. In some embodiments, the audio module 1370 may transmit an audio signal to the wireless communication module 1360 through a UART interface to realize a function of playing music through a bluetooth headset.
