The curved screen comes from birth, and a user can perform more touch operations on the side surface of the screen. The curved screen is made of special plastic materials instead of mainstream glass materials, so that the screen is stronger in elasticity than a common screen and is not easy to damage. In addition, the curved screen has the advantages of light weight and low power consumption, so that some manufacturers have applied the curved screen to electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers.

Detailed Description

For ease of understanding, examples are given in part to illustrate concepts related to embodiments of the present application and are incorporated by reference. As follows:

the curved screen is a display screen made of flexible plastics, and compared with a straight screen, the curved screen takes non-rigid glass as a substrate, so that the curved screen is better in elasticity and not easy to break. Therefore, the abrasion probability of the screen is reduced, and particularly the screen of the mobile phone with a high touched rate is reduced.

The capacitive touch screen technology works by using current induction of a human body. When a finger touches the metal layer, a coupling capacitance is formed between the user and the touch screen surface due to the electric field of the human body, and for high frequency currents, the capacitance is a direct conductor, so that the finger draws a small current from the contact point. The current flows out of the electrodes on the four corners of the touch screen respectively, the current flowing through the four electrodes is in proportion to the distance from the finger to the four corners, and the processor can obtain the position of the touch point through accurate calculation of the proportion of the four currents.

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

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

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

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

For example, touch operations applied to different applications (e.g., photographing, audio playing, etc.) may correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The motor 191 may also respond to different vibration feedback effects for touch operations applied to different areas of the flexible screen 301. Different application scenes (such as time reminding, receiving information, alarm clock, game and the like) can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The touch vibration feedback effect may also support customization.

The sensors primarily referred to in embodiments of the present application may include one or more of the following sensors:

the pressure sensor 180A is used for sensing a pressure signal, and can convert the pressure signal into an electrical signal. In some embodiments, the pressure sensor 180A may be disposed at a side region of the curved screen 301. The pressure sensor 180A can be of a variety of types, such as a resistive pressure sensor, an inductive pressure sensor, a capacitive pressure sensor, and the like. The capacitive pressure sensor may be a sensor comprising at least two parallel plates having an electrically conductive material. When a force acts on the pressure sensor 180A, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. The cellular phone 100 determines the intensity of the pressure according to the change of the capacitance. When a touch operation is applied to the curved screen 301, the mobile phone 100 detects the intensity of the touch operation according to the pressure sensor 180A. The cellular phone 100 can also calculate the touched position based on the detection signal of the pressure sensor 180A. In some embodiments, the touch operations that are applied to the same touch position but different touch operation intensities may correspond to different operation instructions.

The fingerprint sensor 180H is used to collect a fingerprint. The mobile phone 100 can utilize the collected fingerprint characteristics to unlock the fingerprint, access the application lock, photograph the fingerprint, answer the incoming call with the fingerprint, adjust the fingerprint trigger parameters, and so on.

The touch sensor 180K is also referred to as a "touch panel". May be provided on the curved screen 301. For detecting a touch operation acting thereon or thereabout. The detected touch operation may be passed to an application processor to determine the type of touch event and provide a corresponding visual output through the curved screen 301. In other embodiments, the touch sensor 180K may be disposed on the surface of the mobile phone 100, different from the position of the curved screen 301.

The software system of the mobile phone 100 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 present application takes an Android system with a layered architecture as an example, and exemplarily illustrates a schematic diagram of data flow inside the mobile phone 100.

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 is divided into four layers, which are an application layer (referred to as a program layer), an application framework layer (referred to as a framework layer), an Android runtime (Android runtime) and a system library (referred to as a system library), and a kernel layer from top to bottom. Various hardware of the hardware layer may report the detected data to corresponding drivers of the kernel layer.

In this embodiment of the application, when the state of the mobile phone is a bright screen state and a non-lock screen state, for example, referring to fig. 3a, the pressure Sensor of the hardware layer may report the detected pressure data to the corresponding Sensor (Sensor) driver, the Sensor driver reports the signal to the inputcommand and the inputscheduler in the system library, and the inputscheduler distributes the signal to the input manager (InputManager), the InputManager notifies the window manager (WindowManager), and the WindowManager notifies the application of the application layer to call the View control, and displays the volume adjustment panel on the current interface. When a touch sensor of a hardware layer reports detected touch data to a touch screen (TP) for driving, the touch data sequentially pass through Inputreader-InputDipatcher-InputManager-WindowManager-View, then signals are input into an audio manager (Audio manager) by the View, the audio manager realizes the adjustment of volume through an audio mixer (Audio mixer), finally the adjusted volume parameters are notified to the audio driver, a loudspeaker or an earphone is driven to work by the audio driver, and finally the volume adjustment of a no-entity volume key is realized.

When the state of the mobile phone is the screen-locked/blank screen playing music or making a call (including the screen-locked playing music or the screen-blank calling, and the screen-locked playing music or the screen-locked calling), for example, as shown in fig. 3b, the volume can be adjusted by keeping the screen-locked or blank screen state, and at this time, the volume adjustment panel does not need to be displayed, the InputManager can input a signal into an audio manager (AudioManager), the audio manager can adjust the volume by an audio mixer (audiomixer), and finally, the adjusted volume parameter is notified to an audio driver, a speaker or an earphone is driven by the audio driver to work, and finally, the volume adjustment of the no-entity volume key is realized.

The states of the mobile phone can be judged by the InputManager, and further a software signal flow path needing to be executed is determined.

It should be noted that the brightness adjustment is basically similar, and the View inputs the signal into the display manager and the corresponding display driver to drive the curved screen display. In addition, the touch sensor can be integrated with the curved screen and can also be independently arranged, the pressure sensor can be integrated with the curved screen and can also be independently arranged, and the embodiment of the application is not limited at all.

Hereinafter, a method for adjusting a volume provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings by taking a mobile phone as an electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4:

when the handset is in the on state,

s401, the mobile phone receives a trigger operation for adjusting the volume in the side area of the curved screen.

Optionally, the trigger operation may include, but is not limited to, any of the following:

continuously pressing twice in the side edge area within a preset time length with a force greater than a preset threshold value; for example, two presses with 1 newton of pressure in 1 second.

Sliding a preset distance in the side edge area; for example by 1 cm in the side edge region.

Pressing the side edge area for a first preset time; for example pressing in the side area for 2 seconds.

Pressing at a preset position of the side edge area;

pressing the side edge area by using the stored fingerprint of the mobile phone;

and pressing the side edge area and enabling the pressure to reach a preset threshold value. For example, using a 5 newton pressure press.

S402, judging whether the trigger operation has an effective touch screen event. If so, step S503 is executed, otherwise, no processing is performed.

And S403, responding to the trigger operation, and starting a function of adjusting the volume.

S404, determining the current state of the mobile phone.

S405, if the current state of the mobile phone is a bright screen state and a non-screen-locking state, displaying a volume adjustment panel. Steps S406-407 are performed. The bright screen and non-locked screen state can include a main interface and each sub-interface displayed by the mobile phone, and an application interface when an application is running. Such as a chat interface running an instant chat application, a video interface viewing a video, etc.

S406, the mobile phone receives a gesture adjusting operation for adjusting the volume in the side area of the curved screen.

S407, responding to the adjustment operation, adjusting the volume and the volume adjustment panel by the first adjustment strategy.

Alternatively, the adjustment operation may include, but is not limited to, any of the following:

performing sliding operation;

pressing operation;

the first adjustment strategy includes: the sliding distance corresponds to the volume adjustment, and the different sliding directions correspond to the volume increase and decrease respectively. For example, the length of the adjustable region is 3 cm, the volume can be subdivided into 100 levels, and each level of volume corresponds to a distance of 100/3 cm. The volume is increased by 10 when the slide is 3 mm upward, and the volume is decreased by 10 when the slide is 3 mm downward.

Or the pressing pressure corresponds to the volume level. For example, if the pressing pressure is 0 to 10 n and the volume is subdivided into 100 steps, the volume is directly adjusted to 10 steps when pressing with 1 n pressure, to 20 steps when pressing with 2 n pressure, and to 10 steps when pressing with 1 n pressure if the current volume is 20 steps.

S408, if the current state of the mobile phone is the blank screen/screen locking state to play music or make a call, the adjustment of the blank screen or screen locking state is kept. The volume adjustment panel may not be displayed. Steps S409-410 are performed.

And S409, the mobile phone receives an adjusting operation for adjusting the volume in the side area of the curved screen.

And S510, responding to the adjusting operation, and adjusting the volume by using a second adjusting strategy.

The second adjustment strategy includes: the single sliding corresponds to the unit value of the volume adjustment, and the different directions of the sliding correspond to the volume increase and decrease respectively. For example, if the unit value of the volume adjustment is 10 levels, a single sliding adjustment is 10 levels, the volume is increased by 10 levels when the screen slides once to the top of the screen, and the volume is decreased by 10 levels when the screen slides to the bottom of the screen.

Or the number of pressing corresponds to the unit value of volume adjustment, and the different positions of pressing correspond to volume increase and decrease. For example, one compression increases by 10 steps in the first position and one compression decreases by 10 steps in the second position.

Alternatively, the adjustment accuracy of the second adjustment strategy may be lower than the adjustment accuracy of the first adjustment strategy. That is, in the bright-screen and non-lock-screen state, the total volume range may be adjusted by using a smaller unit value within the total volume range preset by the system or after the total volume range is finely divided, for example, if the total volume range preset by the system is 10 levels, the total volume range may be adjusted by using 0.1 level as the unit value, or the total volume range may be divided into 100 levels and adjusted by using a range of 1 level. The second adjustment strategy may be adjusted by using a larger unit value within a preset total volume range or by roughly dividing the total volume range, for example, if the total volume range preset by the system is 10 levels, the total volume range may be adjusted by using 1 level as the unit value, or by dividing the total volume range into 10 levels and adjusting the range by using 1 level.

Optionally, when the volume needs to be adjusted quickly, any of the following extremum adjusting operations is adopted:

pressing the side edge area for a second preset time; for example pressing in the side edge region for 4 seconds.

Sliding at the side edge region at a speed up to a first preset speed; for example, a fast up stroke will adjust the volume to a maximum value and a fast down stroke will adjust the volume to a minimum value.

The extreme value includes a maximum value or a minimum value.

By the method, the volume adjustment of the curved-surface screen mobile phone without the entity volume key can be realized. The brightness adjustment is similar. In addition, the method can be executed in any area which does not conflict with other functions by the aid of the whole pressure-sensitive curved screen, and parameters such as volume and brightness can be adjusted by the aid of the method if a pressure sensor is arranged at a folding part of the folding screen.

Hereinafter, the mobile phone will be mainly used to adjust the volume in conjunction with various specific scenes.

Firstly, various operation habits of a user are combined to introduce an adjusting mode of the mobile phone.

As shown in fig. 5a, a schematic diagram of a user holding the mobile phone with his left hand and operating with the index finger of the right hand (or using other fingers of the right hand), a side area (a black area on the right side of the mobile phone in the figure) on the right side of the mobile phone is an adjustable area of the volume, if a pressure sensor is provided at this location, pressure operation can be used as trigger operation, and the user can press or slide the index finger of the right hand in the adjustable area to adjust the volume without using a physical key, and the specific operation process can be referred to the description of the embodiment shown in fig. 4, which is not described herein again.

As shown in fig. 5b, a schematic diagram of a user holding the mobile phone with the right hand and operating with the thumb of the right hand, a side area (a black area on the right side of the mobile phone in the drawing) on the right side of the mobile phone is an adjustable area of the volume, when pressure operation is used as trigger operation, a pressure sensor is arranged on the side area, and the user can press or slide the index finger of the right hand in the adjustable area to adjust the volume without a physical key, and the specific operation process can refer to the description of the embodiment shown in fig. 4, which is not repeated here.

As shown in fig. 5c, for a user to hold the mobile phone with both hands, a left or right thumb (here, the right thumb is taken as an example for explanation), and a side area on the right side of the mobile phone (after the mobile phone is laid horizontally, a black area marked below the mobile phone shown in the figure) is an adjustable area of the volume, when pressure operation is used as trigger operation, a pressure sensor is arranged at this position, and the user can realize volume adjustment without a physical key through operations such as pressing or sliding the right thumb in the adjustable area, and the specific operation process may refer to the description of the embodiment shown in fig. 4, and is not described herein again.

It should be noted that, the above description is given by taking the right hand as the common hand, and if the user belongs to the left hand as the common hand, the left hand may be operated by the index finger of the left hand of the mobile phone, or the left hand may be operated by the thumb of the left hand of the mobile phone, and at this time, the pressure sensor is correspondingly disposed on the left side of the curved screen of the mobile phone.

In the following, the operation with the thumb of the right hand in combination with various specific scenes, the sensing area being a pressure sensing area, and the triggering of adjusting the volume of the mobile phone will be described in detail.

Application scenario 1

As shown in fig. 6a, the mobile phone is in a blank screen state, and if no music is played or no call is made, the function of turning off the volume adjustment may be selected by default based on power saving considerations. Of course, the setup options may also be turned on or provided by default for the user to select the setup. If music is being played or a call is being made, the user can use the triggering operation and the adjusting operation in the embodiment shown in fig. 4 to implement the volume adjustment under the black screen. Optionally, the mobile phone may perform vibration feedback or sound feedback when the triggering is successful and/or the adjustment is performed, so that the user can more intuitively know the effect of the volume adjustment. For example, the user may shake once a successful trigger, shake or "click" feedback once the volume of a unit value is adjusted, or the user may turn on or off the alert function via a set option.

Scene two

The mobile phone is in a screen locking state, and if music is not played or a call is made at the moment, the function of turning off the volume adjustment can be selected by default at the moment based on the consideration of power saving. Of course, the setup options may also be turned on or provided by default for the user to select the setup. If music is being played or a call is being made at this time, as shown in fig. 6b, music is currently being played: in bright months, a user may perform operations of music pause or previous/next operations, or may perform sliding unlocking (sliding unlocking is only an example, and other unlocking modes such as face unlocking/password unlocking and the like are similar), where an area between a side dotted line and a solid line of the mobile phone is a side area of the curved screen. In this state, the user can also use the trigger operation and the adjustment operation in the embodiment shown in fig. 4 to realize volume adjustment under the lock screen. At this time, the volume adjustment panel as shown in the right drawing of fig. 7a may not be displayed. Of course, a volume adjustment panel may also be displayed or setting options provided for the user to select settings. Optionally, the mobile phone may perform vibration feedback or sound feedback when the triggering is successful and/or the adjustment is performed, so that the user can more intuitively know the effect of the volume adjustment. For example, the user may shake once a successful trigger, shake or "beep" when adjusting the volume per unit value, or turn on or off the reminder function by setting options.

Scene three

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 7a, the mobile phone is currently in a bright screen state, and the display interface is a main interface (interface entered after unlocking), the main interface includes a state bar (including cellular network signal strength, operator identifier, wi-Fi network identifier, battery level and time) on the upper side, a page containing a plurality of icons or widgets (including calendar, weather, and icons a, B, C, D, E, F, etc. schematically depicted in the figure) in the middle, and a resident Dock bar (including phone, address book, short message and camera) on the lower side. When the mobile phone receives the trigger operation of the user, such as continuously pressing the side area twice, if the mobile phone identifies the effective trigger operation, the volume adjustment panel can be popped up on the display interface. Alternatively, for more intuitive operation by the user, an adjustable area may also be displayed in the side region of the curved screen as shown in fig. 7 b.

It should be noted that, the triggering operation may be various, and specifically refer to the description of the embodiment shown in fig. 4, and after any triggering operation is triggered, the drawing shown in the right side of fig. 7a or the drawing shown in fig. 7b may be displayed.

Scene four

Situation one

For example, as shown in fig. 8a, the mobile phone is currently in a bright screen state, and the display interface is a main interface (interface entered after unlocking), when the mobile phone receives a trigger operation of the user, such as continuously pressing the side area twice, and popping up the volume adjustment panel and the adjustable area on the display interface. If the mobile phone receives the adjustment operation of the user, such as downward sliding, the sliding distance corresponds to the volume adjustment size in a coordinate mapping manner, and the sliding is converted into the sliding of the adjusting button on the volume adjustment panel. The adjustment mode is a smooth stepless adjustment mode.

Alternatively, a step adjustment mode as shown in fig. 8b may be adopted, in which a dial is displayed in the adjustable area, a user slides one time to generate a sliding event, the dial is scrolled one time, and the corresponding adjustment button of the volume adjustment panel slides a certain distance, thereby implementing the step adjustment mode of the volume. Comparing fig. 8b and fig. 7b, it can be seen that the stepless adjustment mode can achieve fast adjustment of the volume more simply.

It should be noted that the adjusted volume may be a volume of a mobile phone system, and the volume may be applicable to all applications on a mobile phone. Of course, the present application may also implement volume adjustments for individual third party applications. Such as the volume of the call when talking, the volume of the video screen when watching video, the volume of music when listening to music, etc.

Scene five

The volume adjustment during playing music is taken as an example for explanation, and the volume adjustment during playing video or calling is similar. As shown in fig. 9a, in the music playing interface of the third party music application, a trigger operation of the user, such as pressing twice in succession, is received in the side area, and the volume adjustment panel of the third party application may be popped up. As shown in fig. 9b, an adjustment operation gesture of the user is received in the side area, so that the volume of the third party music application can be adjusted. Alternatively, for more intuition, the volume parameter of the current music application may be bubble displayed in an adjustable region.

It should be noted that, the right hand is used as a common hand for description, and the display of the adjustable area/dial/bubble is displayed near the right hand, so as to achieve a better hand following effect. If the user belongs to the left hand which is a common hand, an area close to the user operation finger on the left side can be displayed, and the embodiment of the application is not limited at all. In addition, the volume adjustment panel described in the embodiment of the present application is only used as an example, and other function buttons, such as a switch button for switching between three modes of mute, vibration, and ringing, a button for individually adjusting the system volume, or a button for individually adjusting the volume of the currently displayed application, may be added to the volume adjustment panel during actual use, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited at all.

Scene six

In a possible design, the first sensing area and the second sensing area can be arranged on the right side of the mobile phone at the same time, the first sensing area can be used for adjusting the volume of the mobile phone, and the second sensing area is used for adjusting the brightness of the mobile phone. The manner and interface for adjusting the volume of the mobile phone can be described with reference to scenes one to five, and the manner for adjusting the brightness of the mobile phone can be as shown in fig. 10a and 10 b. And when the user slides upwards, determining the increased brightness according to the sliding distance and adaptively adjusting the position of a brightness adjusting button on the brightness adjusting panel. Thereby completing the adjustment of the brightness of the mobile phone.

In the above embodiments, the adjusting operation is used to adjust the volume or brightness, or may also be used to perform any of the following actions:

the method comprises the steps of starting or closing a preset application in a bright screen state, shooting in a bright screen state or shooting in an off screen state, switching display contents in a bright screen state (such as picture switching, page number switching and the like), recording in a black screen or recording in a bright screen state, dialing a preset emergency number or sending information to the emergency number in a power-on state and the like.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to reduce the misoperation and improve the accuracy of parameter adjustment, a combination of a trigger operation and an adjustment operation is used. In a possible implementation manner, in order to improve the efficiency of parameter adjustment and reduce the triggering operation, the parameter adjustment is performed using an adjustment operation, for example, sliding in a side area of the curved screen to adjust a volume parameter of the system or a currently displayed application or a display brightness parameter of the curved screen. The trigger operation may be a user-settable option for a user to select and set, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited in any way.
