The principle of the present invention is described below by taking a touch screen mobile phone including the touch sensing module as an example.

If the mobile phone is in a power-off state, the thumb of the hand holding the mobile phone presses the touch sensing module 1 on the side surface of the mobile phone for a long time (such as 2-3 seconds), and the mobile phone is powered on; if the mobile phone is in the on state, the thumb presses the touch sensing module 1 for a long time (such as 4-5 seconds), and the mobile phone is turned off. If the mobile phone is in the screen locking state, the fingerprint of the thumb is successfully identified through the fingerprint identification sensor 15, and the mobile phone is unlocked; if the mobile phone is in the screen unlocking state, the thumb presses the touch sensing module 1 for a long time (such as 1-2 seconds), and the mobile phone locks the screen. That is, the operation of turning on and off the mobile phone, unlocking the screen, and the like can be realized by holding the mobile phone with one hand and performing long-time pressing operation on the touch sensing module 1 with the thumb of the hand.

If the mobile phone is in the photographing mode, the thumb of the hand holding the mobile phone slides upwards or downwards on the touch sensing module 1 on the side face of the mobile phone, so that the focal length can be adjusted; meanwhile, when the thumb slides forwards or backwards, the photographing mode can be selected, and the thumb clicks the touch sensing module 1 to photograph. Like this, can accomplish through one-handed operation and shoot, it is very convenient to operate, especially when many people autodyne, and the arm that will grip the cell-phone usually stretches out as far as possible so that a plurality of people can both shoot in the photo, and it is often not very convenient to click the button of shooing with another hand this time, if adopt one-handed operation, then the convenience is just more obvious, and the shake when can also effectively reducing and shoot improves the photo and shoot the quality. If when browsing the photo, the touch sensing module 1 is slid up and down by the thumb to zoom in or zoom out the photo, and the touch sensing module 1 is slid back and forth by the thumb to switch the photo.

When the mobile phone is in an application interface of a webpage browsing APP and a reading APP, the thumb of a hand holding the mobile phone slides upwards or downwards on the touch sensing module 1 on the side face of the mobile phone, so that the page can slide up and down, the page can move backwards and forwards by sliding the thumb on the touch sensing module 1 forwards and backwards, and the page can be turned over or moved backwards by touching the thumb on the touch sensing module 1.

When the mobile phone is in a video playing APP application interface, the volume can be adjusted up or down by sliding the thumb of the hand holding the mobile phone upwards or downwards on the touch sensing module 1 on the side face of the mobile phone, the thumb can slide back and forth on the touch sensing module 1 to realize fast forward or fast backward, and the thumb can be lightly touched on the touch sensing module 1 to realize functions such as pause.

When the mobile phone is in a desktop interface or a call interface, the thumb of the hand holding the mobile phone slides upwards or downwards on the touch sensing module 1 on the side surface of the mobile phone, so that the volume of the ring or the call can be adjusted to be larger or smaller, the original mechanical volume control key is replaced, and the functions of switching desktop pages and the like can be realized by sliding the thumb on the touch sensing module 1 back and forth.

It should be noted that the gesture operation control is only an example of operating a part of functions, and a manufacturer may define other shortcut functions by setting according to needs, rather than limiting the functions.
