Detailed Description

In order to make the technical solutions better understood by those skilled in the art, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

At present, electronic devices generally start to support quick triggering of a control function, for example, the electronic devices generally start to support quick triggering of a control function according to a sliding operation of a user acting on a touch screen of the electronic device. However, when the electronic device is provided with a plurality of shortcut control functions, it is difficult to accurately recognize the control function that the user wants to be triggered quickly through a sliding operation triggered by the user, and thus an erroneous operation is easily generated. The inventor finds that, in order to solve the problem that misoperation is easily caused, the electronic device can be provided with different sliding positions corresponding to different shortcut control functions, but due to the size limitation of the electronic device, the control function triggered quickly is difficult to be accurately identified through the sliding positions, and misoperation is also easily caused.

In view of the above problems, the inventors have found and proposed a device control method, an apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium according to embodiments of the present application through long-term research, and control a display area according to a starting point position and a number of fingers corresponding to a sliding operation, so as to improve a trigger success rate of corresponding control. The specific device control method is described in detail in the following embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart illustrating an apparatus control method according to an embodiment of the present application. The equipment control method is used for controlling the display area according to the starting point position and the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation, so that the triggering success rate of corresponding control is improved. In a specific embodiment, the device control method is applied to the device control apparatus 200 shown in fig. 16 and the electronic device 100 (fig. 17) equipped with the device control apparatus 200. The specific process of the present embodiment will be described below by taking an electronic device as an example, and it is understood that the electronic device applied in the present embodiment may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a wearable electronic device, and the like, which is not limited herein. As will be described in detail with respect to the flow shown in fig. 1, in this embodiment, the electronic device includes a touch screen, the touch screen includes a display area, and the device control method may specifically include the following steps:

step S110: and responding to the sliding operation acted on the touch screen, acquiring a starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation, and acquiring the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation.

In this embodiment, the touch operation performed on the touch screen may be detected, where the touch operation may include a single-finger click operation, a multi-finger click operation, a single-finger press operation, a multi-finger press operation, a single-finger slide operation, a multi-finger slide operation, a single-finger long-press operation, a multi-finger long-press operation, and the like, which is not limited herein. When the sliding operation acting on the touch screen is detected, the starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation can be obtained in response to the sliding operation acting on the touch screen, and the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation can be obtained.

In some embodiments, whether the touch screen of the electronic device is in a lighting state may be detected, when it is detected that the touch screen of the electronic device is in the lighting state, the touch operation acting on the touch screen may be detected, and when it is detected that the sliding operation acting on the touch screen is performed, the starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation may be acquired in response to the sliding operation acting on the touch screen, and the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation may be acquired.

In some embodiments, whether a touch screen of an electronic device is in a lit state may be detected, when it is detected that the touch screen of the electronic device is in the lit state, whether the touch screen of the electronic device is in an unlocked state may be detected, when it is detected that the touch screen of the electronic device is in the unlocked state, a touch operation acting on the touch screen may be detected, and when a slide operation acting on the touch screen is detected, a start point position corresponding to the slide operation may be acquired in response to the slide operation acting on the touch screen, and a number of fingers corresponding to the slide operation may be acquired.

In some embodiments, whether a touch screen of an electronic device is in a lit state or not may be detected, and when it is detected that the touch screen of the electronic device is in the lit state, whether the touch screen of the electronic device is in an unlocked state or not may be detected, and when it is detected that the touch screen of the electronic device is in the unlocked state, a currently displayed interface of the touch screen of the electronic device may be detected, where when it is detected that the currently displayed interface of the electronic device is a desktop or an application interface, a touch operation performed on the touch screen may be detected, and when a sliding operation performed on the touch screen is detected, a start point position corresponding to the sliding operation may be obtained in response to the sliding operation performed on the touch screen, and a number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation may be obtained.

As one mode, a touch sensor may be provided on a touch screen of the electronic device. The touch control operation acting on the touch screen can be detected through the touch sensor, when the sliding operation acting on the touch screen is detected through the touch sensor, the starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation can be detected through the touch sensor, and the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation can be detected through the touch sensor. In some embodiments, a coordinate system may be established with a certain position of a touch screen of the electronic device as a coordinate origin, a start touch position of the sliding operation is detected by the touch sensor, and a coordinate of the start touch position in the coordinate system is acquired as a start position corresponding to the sliding operation. In some embodiments, the number of touch tracks of the sliding operation may be detected by the touch sensor, and the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation is obtained based on the number of touch tracks, where the number of touch tracks is consistent with the number of fingers, for example, when the number of fingers is one, the number of touch tracks is one, and when the number of fingers is two, the number of touch tracks is two.

As still another way, a pressure sensor may be provided on a touch screen of the electronic device. The touch operation acting on the touch screen can be detected through the pressure sensor, when the sliding operation acting on the touch screen is detected through the pressure sensor, the starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation can be detected through the pressure sensor, and the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation can be detected through the pressure sensor. In some embodiments, a coordinate system may be established with a certain position of a touch screen of the electronic device as a coordinate origin, a start pressing position of the sliding operation is detected by the pressure sensor, and a coordinate of the start pressing position in the coordinate system is acquired as a start position corresponding to the sliding operation. In some embodiments, the number of pressing traces of the sliding operation may be detected by the pressure sensor, and the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation may be acquired based on the number of pressing traces, where the number of pressing traces is identical to the number of fingers, for example, when the number of fingers is one, the number of pressing traces is one, and when the number of fingers is two, the number of pressing traces is two.

As still another mode, a touch screen of the electronic device may be provided with a pressure sensor and a touch sensor. The electronic device may further detect a starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation and the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation through the touch sensor and the pressure sensor, which are not described herein again.

In some embodiments, when determining the starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation, if the number of fingers is one, the position corresponding to the touch midpoint of one finger may be used as the starting point position, the position corresponding to the touch vertex of one finger may be used as the starting point position, or the position corresponding to the touch bottom of one finger may be used as the starting point position, which is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, when determining the starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation, if the number of the fingers is multiple (e.g., two), the position corresponding to the touch midpoint of the multiple fingers may be used as the starting point position (the touch midpoint of each of the multiple fingers is selected, and the touch midpoints of the multiple fingers are obtained based on the touch midpoint of each of the multiple fingers), the position corresponding to the touch vertex of the multiple fingers may be used as the starting point position (the position corresponding to the touch point of the multiple fingers closer to the first edge is selected as the starting point position), or the position corresponding to the touch bottom point of the multiple fingers may be used as the starting point position, which is not limited herein (the position corresponding to the touch point of the multiple fingers farther from the first edge is selected as the starting point position).

Step S120: and when the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is smaller than a first preset distance, controlling the display area according to the number of the fingers.

In some implementations, a touch screen of an electronic device includes a first edge. Taking the vertical screen display of the electronic device as an example, the first edge may be a top edge of the electronic device, may be a bottom edge of the electronic device, may be a left side edge of the electronic device, and may also be a right side edge of the electronic device, which is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may preset and store a first preset distance, where the first preset distance is used as a criterion for determining a distance between the starting point and the first edge of the touch screen. Therefore, in this embodiment, after the starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation is obtained, the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen may be calculated, and the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen may be compared with the first preset distance to determine whether the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is smaller than the first preset distance. If the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is smaller than the first preset distance, the starting point position can be determined to meet one condition for triggering shortcut control, and then judgment of other conditions of the shortcut control can be continued. If the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is not less than the first preset distance, it can be determined that the starting point position does not meet the condition for triggering the condition control, and the shortcut control may not be triggered.

As one mode, after the starting point of the sliding operation is obtained, distances from a plurality of edges (four edges) of the touch screen to the starting point may be obtained, a plurality of distances may be obtained, a minimum distance may be determined from the plurality of distances to be a target distance, and an edge corresponding to the target distance may be obtained to be a first edge. When the minimum distance among the plurality of distances is more than one (two), the target edge which is the first edge at the latest time may be obtained, and when the target edge is one of the two edges, the target edge may be taken as the first edge.

In this embodiment, when it is determined that the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is smaller than the first preset distance, the display area may be controlled according to the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation, so that when the starting point position meets the trigger condition, the display area is controlled according to the number of fingers, and the trigger success rate of corresponding control is improved.

As a mode, when the number of the fingers of the slide operation is one, the first control may be performed on the display area; when the number of the fingers for the slide operation is two or more, the second control can be performed on the display area. Wherein the first control and the second control are different.

As still another mode, when the number of fingers of the slide operation is one, the first control may be performed on the display area; when the number of the fingers for the sliding operation is two, performing second control on the display area; when the number of the fingers for the sliding operation is three, the display area can be controlled by a third control; when the number of the fingers of the slide operation is four, fourth control can be performed on the display area; when the number of the fingers of the slide operation is five, the display area can be controlled as the fifth control. Wherein the first control, the second control, the third control, the fourth control, and the fifth control are different from each other.

According to the device control method provided by one embodiment of the application, a starting point position corresponding to sliding operation is obtained in response to the sliding operation acting on the touch screen, the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation is obtained, when the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is smaller than a first preset distance, the display area is controlled according to the number of the fingers, and therefore the display area is controlled according to the starting point position and the number of the fingers corresponding to the sliding operation, and the triggering success rate of corresponding control is improved.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart illustrating an apparatus control method according to another embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to the electronic device, the electronic device includes a touch screen, the touch screen includes a display area, and as will be described in detail with reference to the flow shown in fig. 2, the device control method may specifically include the following steps:

step S210: and responding to the sliding operation acted on the touch screen, acquiring a starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation, and acquiring the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation.

For detailed description of step S210, please refer to step S110, which is not described herein again.

Step S220: and when the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is less than a first preset distance and the number of the fingers is one, controlling the display content of the display area.

In some embodiments, after obtaining a starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation and the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation, it may be determined whether a first distance between the starting point position and the touch screen is less than a first preset distance, and whether the number of fingers is one. When the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is determined to be smaller than the first preset distance and the number of the fingers is determined to be one, the display content of the display area of the touch screen can be directly controlled. For example, when it is determined that the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is smaller than a first preset distance and the number of the fingers is one, a preset control mode corresponding to sliding of one finger is searched, and the display content of the display area is controlled based on the control mode corresponding to sliding of the one finger.

Step S230: and when the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is less than a first preset distance and the number of the fingers is at least two, controlling the display content of the display area according to the starting point position.

In some embodiments, after obtaining a starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation and the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation, it may be determined whether a first distance between the starting point position and the touch screen is less than a first preset distance, and whether the number of fingers is at least two. When the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is determined to be smaller than a first preset distance and the number of the fingers is determined to be at least two, the display content of the display area of the touch screen can be controlled according to the starting point position. For example, when it is determined that the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is smaller than a first preset distance and the number of the fingers is at least two, searching for a preset control mode corresponding to the at least two fingers sliding at the starting point position, and controlling the display content of the display area based on the control mode corresponding to the at least two fingers sliding at the starting point position.

For example, when the starting point position is the first starting point position, a preset first control mode corresponding to when at least two fingers slide at the first starting point position may be searched, and the display content of the display area may be first controlled based on the first control mode corresponding to when the at least two fingers slide at the first starting point position. When the starting point position is a second starting point position, a preset second control mode corresponding to the sliding of at least two fingers at the second starting point position can be searched, and second control is performed on the display content of the display area based on the second control mode corresponding to the sliding of the at least two fingers at the first starting point position. Wherein the first control mode and the second control mode are different.

Wherein the at least two fingers may include: two fingers, three fingers, four fingers, five fingers, etc., without limitation.

In another embodiment of the present application, a device control method, in response to a sliding operation performed on a touch screen, obtains a starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation, and obtains a number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation, controls display content in a display area when a distance between the starting point position and a first edge of the touch screen is less than a first preset distance and the number of fingers is one, and controls display content in the display area according to the starting point position when the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is less than the first preset distance and the number of fingers is at least two. Compared with the device control method shown in fig. 1, in this embodiment, when the number of fingers is one, the display content of the display area is directly controlled, and when the number of fingers is at least two, the display content of the display area is controlled according to the starting point position, so that different control functions are distinguished according to the number of fingers and the starting point position, the display content of the display area is differently controlled, and the control trigger success rate of the display content is improved.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart illustrating an apparatus control method according to still another embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to the electronic device, the electronic device includes a touch screen, the touch screen includes a display area, and as will be described in detail with reference to the flow shown in fig. 3, the device control method may specifically include the following steps:

step S310: and responding to the sliding operation acted on the touch screen, acquiring a starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation, and acquiring the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation.

For details of step S310, please refer to step S110, which is not repeated herein.

Step S320: and when the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is less than a first preset distance and the number of fingers is one, displaying a first page in the display area.

In some embodiments, after obtaining a starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation and the number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation, it may be determined whether a first distance between the starting point position and the touch screen is less than a first preset distance, and whether the number of fingers is one. When the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is determined to be smaller than a first preset distance and the number of the fingers is determined to be one, the first page can be directly displayed in the display area. For example, when the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is determined to be smaller than a first preset distance and the number of the fingers is determined to be one, a preset first page corresponding to the sliding of one finger is searched, and the first page is displayed in the display area.

As one mode, the mode of displaying the first page in the display area may include: the first page is displayed in a floating mode in a display area and completely covers the current page, the first page is displayed in a floating mode in the display area and partially covers the current page, or the current page is displayed in the display area in a replacement mode through the first page.

Step S330: and when the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is smaller than a first preset distance, the number of the fingers is at least two, and the distance between the starting point position and the second edge of the touch screen or the distance between the starting point position and the third edge of the touch screen is smaller than a second preset distance, displaying a second page in the display area, wherein the second edge and the third edge are arranged oppositely, and the first edge is perpendicular to the second edge and the third edge.

In some embodiments, after obtaining a start point position corresponding to the sliding operation and a number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation, it may be determined whether a first distance between the start point position and the touch screen is less than a first preset distance, whether the number of fingers is at least two, and whether the start point position meets a first preset condition. When it is determined that the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is smaller than a first preset distance, and it is determined that the number of the fingers is at least two and the starting point position meets a first preset condition, it may be determined that the second page is displayed in the display area according to the starting point position. For example, when it is determined that the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is smaller than a first preset distance and the number of the fingers is at least two, a second page corresponding to the at least two preset fingers when the starting point position slides is searched, and the second page is displayed in the display area.

As one mode, the mode of displaying the second page in the display area may include: the second page is displayed in a suspension mode in the display area and completely covers the current page, the second page is displayed in a suspension mode in the display area and partially covers the current page, or the current page is displayed in the display area in a replacement mode through the second page.

In some implementations, a touch screen of an electronic device includes a first edge, a second edge, and a third edge, where the second edge is disposed opposite the third edge, and the first edge is perpendicular to the second edge and the third edge. Taking the vertical screen display of the electronic device as an example, the first edge may be a top edge of the electronic device, the second edge may be a left edge of the electronic device, and the third edge may be a right edge of the electronic device; alternatively, the first edge may be a top edge of the electronic device, and the second edge may be a right side edge of the electronic device and the third edge may be a left side edge of the electronic device.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may preset and store a second preset distance, which is used as a basis for determining a distance between the starting position and the second edge and the third edge of the touch screen. Therefore, in this embodiment, after obtaining the starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation, the distance between the starting point position and the second edge and the distance between the starting point position and the third edge may be calculated, and the distance between the starting point position and the second edge is compared with a second preset distance to determine whether the distance between the starting point position and the second edge of the touch screen is smaller than the second preset distance, and the distance between the starting point position and the third edge is compared with the second preset distance to determine whether the distance between the starting point position and the third edge of the touch screen is smaller than the second preset distance. When the judgment result represents that the distance between the starting point position and the second edge of the touch screen or the third edge of the touch screen is smaller than the second preset distance, the starting point position can be determined to meet the first preset condition, and the second page can be displayed in the display area.

In another embodiment of the device control method provided in this application, in response to a sliding operation performed on a touch screen, a starting point position corresponding to the sliding operation is obtained, and a number of fingers corresponding to the sliding operation is obtained, when a distance between the starting point position and a first edge of the touch screen is less than a first preset distance and the number of fingers is one, a first page is displayed in a display area, and when a distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is less than the first preset distance and the number of fingers is at least two and a distance between the starting point position and a second edge of the touch screen or a third edge of the touch screen is less than a second preset distance, a second page is displayed in the display area. Compared with the device control method shown in fig. 1, in this embodiment, when the number of fingers is one, the first surface is directly displayed in the display area, and when the number of fingers is at least two and the starting point position is close to two sides of the electronic device, the second page is displayed in the display area, so that different control functions are distinguished according to the number of fingers and the starting point position, different pages are displayed in the display area, and the triggering success rate of the shortcut page is improved.

When the distance between the starting point position and the first edge of the touch screen is determined to be smaller than the first preset distance and the number of the fingers is determined to be one, the page corresponding to the notification center can be directly displayed in the display area. The notification center is used for providing notification messages of a plurality of application programs installed by the electronic equipment, the page corresponding to the notification center is used for displaying the notification messages of the plurality of application programs installed by the electronic equipment, and a user can view and manage the system of the electronic equipment and the notification messages of the application programs in the page corresponding to the notification center.
