When the user flips the edge of the portable electronic device 100 (user action 1) in different states of the portable electronic device 100, a corresponding operation is performed. For example, when the screen of the portable electronic device 100 is on / off (state B / A), the camera is activated (state C), the user watches a video (state D), listens to music (state E), Playing a game on the electronic device 100 (state F), the user is in a call (state G), the alarm / alarm sounds (state H), the user has an incoming call (state I), the user uses an input method editor (IME) to compose an Instant Message (IM) / message (state J), when the user does not use IME to compose an IM / message (state K), or when the user browses the web / photo (state L), the user dials The edge is moved to trigger the portable electronic device 100 to display the edge sensing panel on the touch display screen 109. Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of the portable electronic device 100 when a user flicks an edge. The user ’s “pushing edge” indicates that when the user holds the portable electronic device 100, the user ’s finger (for example, a thumb) touches one of the long sides of the portable electronic device 100, and the direction D1 is from the back Cover 101 moves to the screen. Based on the user's "toggle edge", at least one sensing element of the first sensor 104 or the second sensor 106 is triggered to output a corresponding sensing signal and an edge corresponding to the edge of the touch display screen 109 is output. Control signal. Therefore, within a certain period of time, the processor 102 may receive the sensing signal and the touch signal, and then determine that the user action is a “flick edge”. 4A and 4B are schematic diagrams of an edge sensing panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. The edge sensing panel includes a first display area 110 and a second display area 112. The first display area 110 and the second display area 112 are displayed on the touch display screen 109 and are close to the long sides S3 and S4. The first display area 110 and the second display area 112 display the shortcut pattern 114 and the information 116, so that the user can easily touch the shortcut pattern 114 and the information 116. Shortcut pattern 114 corresponds to an application, for example "Instagram", "Facebook" or "Line". When the user touches the shortcut icon 114, the corresponding application is opened. The information 116 includes, but is not limited to, images, weather, or news. In one embodiment, when the user holds the portable electronic device 100 with his left hand and uses his left thumb to flick the edge on the third side S3, the touch display screen 109 displays an edge sensing panel. In the edge sensing panel, the shortcut pattern 114 is displayed in the first display area 110, and the information 116 is displayed in the second display area 112 (as shown in FIG. 4A). When the user holds the portable electronic device 100 with his right hand and uses his right thumb to flick the edge on the fourth side S4, the touch display screen 109 displays an edge sensing panel. In the edge sensing panel, the information 116 is displayed in the first display area 110, and the shortcut pattern 114 is displayed in the second display area 112 (as shown in FIG. 4B). In an embodiment, an indicator is displayed on one of the plurality of shortcut patterns 114 or any information 116. The user can move the pointer by sliding and pressing the long side of the portable electronic device 100, and select and execute one of the plurality of shortcut patterns 114 or display an information 116.

According to at least one finger position and palm position sensed by the first sensor 104 and the second sensor 106, the portable electronic device 100 can recognize whether the right hand or the left hand is holding the portable electronic device 100. Specifically, when the sensor detects a point-like touch point (with a smaller area), the processor 102 determines that the point-like touch point is a finger touch, and the position of the point-like touch point is a finger position. When the sensor touches the sheet-shaped touch point (with a larger area), the processor 102 determines that the sheet-shaped touch point is a palm touch, and the position of the sheet-shaped touch point is a palm position. Therefore, according to the position of the palm, the processor 102 can determine a point-like touch point located above the sheet-like touch point, that is, a thumb position.

According to the user's holding gesture, the processor 102 can correspondingly control the position where the touch-sensitive display screen 109 displays the keyboard image to facilitate the user's operation. For example, when the user holds the portable electronic device 100 with his right hand (its finger position is on the third side S3 and the palm position is on the fourth side S4), the touch display screen 109 displays that the keyboard image is adjacent to the first In the area of the four sides S4, as shown in FIG. 29, it is close to the right thumb of the user. Conversely, when the user holds the portable electronic device 100 with his left hand (its finger position is on the fourth side S4 and the palm position is on the third side S3), the touch display screen 109 displays the keyboard image near the third The area on the side S3 is close to the left thumb of the user as shown in FIG. 30. In this way, the user can easily and accurately tap the keyboard with his thumb.

When the user presses the portable electronic device 100 in different states of the portable electronic device 100 (user action 2), a corresponding operation is performed. For example, when the camera of the portable electronic device 100 is activated (state C), the user squeezes the portable electronic device 100 to take a picture or record a video. When a user watches a movie (state D), listens to music (state E), or plays a game on the portable electronic device 100 (state F), the user squeezes the portable electronic device 100 to pause / play the movie, Music or games. When the alarm / alarm sounds (state H), the user squeezes the portable electronic device 100 to delay the alarm / alarm. When the user has an incoming call (state I), the user squeezes the portable electronic device 100 to answer the incoming call. Referring to FIG. 5, it is a schematic diagram when a user squeezes the portable electronic device 100. The user's action "squeeze" indicates that when the user holds the portable electronic device 100, the finger firmly presses the two opposite long sides of the portable electronic device 100 with fingers or hands. When the signal levels of the output signals of the sensing elements of the first sensor 104 and the second sensor 106 exceed a force threshold at the same time, the processor 102 determines that the user action is “squeezing”.

When the user presses the portable electronic device 100 for a long time in different states of the portable electronic device 100 (user action 3), a corresponding operation is performed. For example, when the screen of the portable electronic device 100 is on / off (state B / A), the camera is activated (state C), the user watches a video (state D), listens to music (state E), When playing a game on the electronic device 100 (state F), or when the user browses the web / photo (state L), the user long squeezes the portable electronic device 100 to take notes by voice or typing. When the user is in a call (state G), the user presses the portable electronic device 100 to end the call. When the alarm / alarm sounds (state H), the user presses the portable electronic device 100 to dismiss the alarm / alarm. When the user has a call (state I), the user presses the portable electronic device 100 to reject the call. When the user composes IM / message (state K) using IME, the user long squeezes the portable electronic device 100 for voice input. When the user does not use the IME to compose an IM / message (state L), the user long squeezes the portable electronic device 100 to record and transmit a voice message. The user action “long squeeze” indicates that the user continues to squeeze the first sensor 104 and the second sensor 106 for a period of time (greater than a time threshold). For example, when the user continues to squeeze the portable electronic device 100 for more than 3 seconds, the processor 102 determines that the user action is a “long squeeze”.

When the user double squeezes the portable electronic device 100 in different states of the portable electronic device 100 (user action 4), a corresponding operation is performed. For example, when the screen of the portable electronic device 100 is turned on / off (state B / A), the user watches a movie (state D), listens to music (state E), plays a game on the portable electronic device 100 ( State F), the user has an incoming call (state G), the alarm / alarm sounds (state H), the user composes an IM / message with or without IME (state J or K), or the user browses the web / photo (state L) When the user double squeezes the portable electronic device 100 to activate the camera. The user action “double squeeze” indicates that the user continuously squeezes the first sensor 104 and the second sensor 106 twice in a time interval. For example, when the user squeezes the portable electronic device 100 twice in two seconds, the processor 102 determines that the user action is "double squeeze". In one embodiment, the corresponding operation of the user action "double squeeze" can be customized. That is, the user can reset the corresponding operation. For example, the corresponding operation "turn on the camera" is reset to "open favorite apps (apps)".

When the user's finger slides on one of the long sides of the portable electronic device 100 in different states of the portable electronic device 100 (user action 5), a corresponding operation is performed. Corresponding to the sliding action of the user, the plurality of sensing elements of the first sensor 104 or the second sensor 106 continuously and successively output a sensing signal within a specific period. The processor 102 determines the sensing signal according to the sensing signal. The user action is "slide". For example, when the screen of the portable electronic device 100 is turned on (state B), or the user browses the web / photo (state L), the user slides on one of the long sides of the portable electronic device 100 to Scroll the page / content displayed on the touch display screen 109. When the camera of the portable electronic device 100 is activated (state C), the user holds the portable electronic device 100 with a finger in a landscape mode and slides on the upper side (third side S3) to adjust the brightness, or on the lower side (fourth) Side S4) Slide to zoom the display screen of the touch display screen 109. When the user is watching the video (state D), the user holds the portable electronic device 100 in the landscape mode and slides on the upper side (third side S3) to adjust the brightness, or slides on the lower side (fourth side S4) to Adjust the progress bar. When the user is listening to the music (state E), the user's finger slides on the third side S3 or the fourth side S4 to adjust the progress bar. When the user is playing a game (state F), the user holds the portable electronic device 100 in a landscape mode and slides on the upper side (third side S3) to turn off the reminder and turn on the do not disturb (DND) mode. Referring to FIG. 6, it is a schematic diagram when a user's finger slides on one of the long sides of the portable electronic device 100. The user action “sliding” indicates that when the user holds the portable electronic device 100, the user touches one of its long sides with one finger and moves the finger along the long side.

When the user's fingers slide on the two long sides of the portable electronic device 100 in different states of the portable electronic device 100 (user action 6), a corresponding operation is performed. Corresponding to the user's sliding motion, the sensing elements of the first sensor 104 and the second sensor 106 continuously and successively output the sensing signals within a specific time period, and the processor 102 determines the use of the sensing signals according to the sensing signals.者 Action. For example, when the screen of the portable electronic device 100 is on / off (state B / A), the camera is activated (state C), the user watches a video (state D), listens to music (state E), Playing a game on the electronic device 100 (state F), the user is in a call (state G), the alarm / alarm sounds (state H), the user has an incoming call (state I), the user composes IM / message with or without IME (State J or K), or when the user browses the web / photo (state L), the user's fingers slide on the two long sides of the portable electronic device 100 to capture the display screen of the touch display screen 109 ( Screenshot). Referring to FIG. 7, it is a schematic diagram when a user slides his fingers on two long sides of the portable electronic device 100. The user action “sliding on both sides” indicates that when the user holds the portable electronic device 100, the user touches the two long sides with at least two fingers and moves the fingers along the two long sides simultaneously.

When the user presses the volume position in different states of the portable electronic device 100 (user action 7), a corresponding operation is performed. The volume position is a specific position on the long side. For example, when the screen of the portable electronic device 100 is on / off (state E), the camera is activated (state C), the user watches a video (state D), listens to music (state E), Play a game on 100 (state F), the user is in a call (state G), the alarm / alarm sounds (state H), the user has an incoming call (state I), the user composes IM / message with or without IME (state J or K), or when the user browses the web / photo (state L), the user presses the volume position on one long side of the portable electronic device 100 to adjust the volume. For example, the user can press the first part of the volume position (such as the upper part adjacent to a long side of the first side S1) to increase the volume, or the user can press the second part relative to the first part (for example, adjacent the second part) The lower part of one long side of the side S2) to reduce the volume.

When the user holds the portable electronic device 100 in different states of the portable electronic device 100 and the hand touches the third side S3 and the fourth side S4, the finger slides quickly on one of the sides (user action 8 ), Perform the corresponding operation. For example, when the screen of the portable electronic device 100 is turned on / off (state B / A), the user watches a movie (state D), listens to music (state E), plays a game on the portable electronic device 100 ( State F), the user is in a call (state G), the alarm / alarm sounds (state H), the user has an incoming call (state I), the user composes an IM / message with or without IME (state J or K), Or when the user browses the web / photo (state L), the user holds the portable electronic device 100 and quickly slides his finger on one of its long sides to turn on / off the flash. Referring to FIG. 8, it is a schematic diagram when a user quickly slides a finger on one of the long sides of the portable electronic device 100. The user action "quick sliding" indicates that the user's finger quickly slides a distance (greater than a distance threshold) on one long side of the portable electronic device 100 within a predetermined period. For example, during a predetermined period, when the user's finger slides over 5 cm on one of the long sides of the portable electronic device 100, the processor 102 determines that the user's action is "quick swipe". In one embodiment, the corresponding operation of the user's "swipe" can be customized. That is, the user can reset the corresponding operation. For example, the corresponding operation "turn on / off the flash" is reset to "turn on the mute / DND mode", "turn on the airplane mode", or "turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot".

When the user presses on the left and right parts of one of the long sides in the landscape mode in different states of the portable electronic device 100 (user action 9), a corresponding operation is performed. For example, when a user plays a game (state F) on the portable electronic device 100 in landscape mode, the user is left and right on one long side (for example, side S3) of the portable electronic device 100 Press at the same time to open the screen recorder. Referring to FIG. 9, it is a schematic diagram when the user simultaneously presses the left part and the right part of one long side of the portable electronic device 100 in the landscape mode. The screen recorder 118 is the control interface of the game.

During the squeeze of the portable electronic device 100, the user may not be able to maintain a constant force application level, so the force application curve of the user may show a high or low jitter curve state. Therefore, in another embodiment, different comparison thresholds are set for the squeeze and release to improve the success rate of identifying the squeeze action. For example, referring to FIG. 10, the squeezing threshold value TH1 is used to assist in determining whether the squeezing action is started, and the release threshold value TH2 is used to help determine whether the squeezing action is ended, where TH2 is less than TH1.

The squeeze threshold value TH1 can be set by testing the user's squeeze force during the squeeze setting procedure of the portable electronic device 100. The release threshold TH2 can be set according to the squeeze threshold TH1.

The squeeze setting procedure may include requesting the user to squeeze the portable electronic device 100 several times, and detecting the test pressure F1 when the user squeezes the portable electronic device 100 through a sensing element, and the processor 102 may F1 determines the set pressure F2 as the squeeze threshold value TH1.

The set pressure F2 may be a percentile value of the test pressure F1. For example, in one embodiment, the test pressure F1 may be 100, 150, and 200 (pressure units), and the set pressure F2 (or The squeeze threshold value TH1) is 175 (pressure unit) of the 75th percentile. This disclosure is not limited to this. In another embodiment, for example, the test pressure F1 may be 100, 150, and 200 (pressure units), and the set pressure F2 (or extrusion threshold value TH1) is 150 (pressure units), 150 (pressure units) ) Is the average of the three test pressures F1.

In one embodiment, two or more set pressures F2 can be set through the squeeze setting program. The set pressure F2 can be sorted in order (for example, the size order corresponding to 100, 150, 200 (pressure units)) into several graphics in the user interface, and one of the two or more set pressures F2 ( For example, 150 (pressure unit)) can be selected by the user as the squeeze threshold value TH1. Next, if the user thinks that the set pressure F2 (for example, 150 (pressure unit)) as the squeeze threshold value TH1 does not meet the actual requirements, the user can set the other of the two or more set pressures F2 as Squeeze threshold TH1. For example, when the user thinks 150 (pressure unit) is too high, the user can reset 100 (pressure unit) below 150 (pressure unit) as the squeeze threshold TH1; or when the user thinks 150 (pressure) When the unit is too low, the user can reset 200 (pressure unit) above 150 (pressure unit) as the squeeze threshold value TH1.

The processor 102 may determine the release threshold TH2 according to the squeeze threshold TH1. In one embodiment, the release threshold TH2 may be a specific ratio (less than 100%) of the squeeze threshold TH1. For example, the release threshold TH2 is 75% of the squeeze threshold TH1. For example, when the squeeze threshold value TH1 is 175 (pressure unit), the release threshold value TH2 is 131.25 (pressure unit).

After setting TH1 and TH2, when the pressure of the pressing action started at time point TM1 reaches the squeeze threshold value TH1 at time point TM2, the processor 102 determines that the squeeze action starts. Conversely, when the pressure of the pressing action starting at the time point TM1 has not reached the squeeze threshold value TH1, the processor 102 will not recognize the start of the squeeze action. For example, a pressing action that does not reach the squeeze threshold may include a user's normal holding action on the portable electronic device 100, so that the processor 102 will not trigger the portable electronic device 100 to perform a corresponding functional operation. That is, the processor 102 recognizes that the squeezing action is an invalid squeezing event, and therefore does not execute a corresponding preset function. After the pressure reaches the squeeze threshold value TH1 and is lower than the release threshold value TH2, the processor 102 determines that the user's squeeze action is finished, that is, the processor 102 recognizes that the squeeze action is a valid squeeze event, so it executes a corresponding Set function.

The processor 102 determines the period PT1 (the interval between the time point TM2 when the squeeze threshold TH1 is reached and the time point TM3 when the release threshold TH2 is released) as the period of the squeeze action. Compared to the time threshold, the processor 102 may determine whether the squeezing action is a long squeezing action or a short squeezing action according to the time period PT1. In one embodiment, when the period PT1 is less than or equal to the time threshold of 0.7 seconds, the squeezing action is determined as a short squeezing action. When the period PT1 is greater than the time threshold of 0.7 seconds, the squeeze action is determined as a long squeeze action.

According to the squeezing action (long squeezing action or short squeezing action), the processor 102 may determine the functional operation of the portable electronic device 100. The functional actions corresponding to the short / long squeezing action of the induction may be performed by the portable electronic device 100. In another embodiment, only the long squeeze action will start a specific functional action of the portable electronic device 100, and the short squeeze action is ignored.

In another embodiment, the processor 102 can dynamically adjust the values of the squeeze threshold TH1 and the release threshold TH2 according to the actual operation of the user to squeeze the portable electronic device 100. For example, if two or more squeezing actions are performed by the user in a short time interval, such as when performing fast and continuous photo capture functions, then at least one subsequent squeezing action after the first squeezing action It can be determined according to the squeeze threshold value TH1 'and the release threshold value TH2'. The squeeze threshold value TH1 'and the release threshold value TH2' can be adjusted according to the squeeze threshold value TH1 and the release threshold value TH2, respectively. Threshold TH1 and release threshold TH2. For example, TH1 '= 0.95 * (TH1) and TH2' = 0.95 * (TH2). However, this disclosure is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 11, in an embodiment, if the time interval between the first and second squeeze actions is shorter than a specific value, and the time interval is, for example, the time point of the second squeeze action The period PT2 between TM5 and the time point TM3 of the first squeezing action, the second squeezing action can be determined by the squeezing threshold TH1 'and the release threshold TH2'. Similarly, if the time interval between the second and third squeezing actions is shorter than a specific value, the third squeezing action may be determined by another threshold value TH1 '' and TH2 '' (not shown), and the threshold value TH1 '' And TH2 '' are adjusted according to the threshold values TH1 'and TH2', respectively, and are smaller than the threshold values TH1 'and TH2', respectively. For example, TH1 '' = 0.95 * (TH1 ') and TH2' '= 0.95 * (TH2'). Conversely, if the time interval between the second and third squeezing actions is greater than a specific value, the third squeezing action may be determined by the thresholds TH1 and TH2.

In another embodiment, the squeeze threshold can be adjusted dynamically. Different from the squeezing threshold TH1 obtained from the setting procedure, the squeezing threshold can be dynamically adjusted according to the user's frequent squeezing action, instead of being obtained by setting. For example, the average value of the area A (Fig. 12) defined by the extrusion curve and the extrusion threshold value TH1 is compared with a fixed specific value. For example, the average value of region A is the pressure unit value obtained by dividing the period of region A by region A. When the average value of the area A is less than the fixed specific value, the extrusion threshold is dynamically adjusted to be lower than the original extrusion threshold TH1, and the subsequent extrusion action is determined according to the adjusted extrusion threshold. Similarly, when the average value of the region A is larger than a fixed specific value, the extrusion threshold is dynamically adjusted to be higher than the original extrusion threshold TH1, and the subsequent extrusion action is determined according to the adjusted extrusion threshold. The dynamic adjustment method of the squeeze threshold is not limited to the above-mentioned determination method, but may be determined according to other statistical methods.

In an embodiment, the curve determined as the abnormal extrusion action is not considered for dynamically adjusting the extrusion threshold. For example, the judgment is made based on the curvature value of the vertex of the curve corresponding to the area A, or the slope value of the portion near the vertex of the curve. When the curvature or slope value is less than a fixed specific value, the squeezing action is determined as an abnormal action, so the data obtained from the squeezing action is not considered for dynamically adjusting the squeezing threshold.

The pressure during the pressing action can be plotted as a visual image on the touch display screen 109 of the portable electronic device 100. In an embodiment, the touch display screen 109 starts to display an initial visual image (FIG. 13A), which corresponds to a specific fixed pressure TH3, as shown in FIG. 15. The specific pressure TH3 is lower than any threshold (for example, TH1, TH1 ', TH1' ', etc., TH2, TH2', TH2 '', etc.), and is used to determine whether the squeezing action is performed. The specific pressure TH3 may be a fixed predetermined value regardless of the setting procedure performed by the user. In the successful extrusion process, when the pressure increases from a specific pressure TH3, the visual image gradually changes sequentially to the images shown in Figures 13B to 13G, and when the pressure reaches the threshold TH1, the change becomes as The images shown in FIGS. 13H to 13I are used to show that an effective squeezing action is performed to perform a preset function. In the unsuccessful squeezing process, for example, when the pressure increases from a specific pressure TH3, the visual image gradually changes sequentially to the images shown in Figures 13B to 13G, and when the pressure changes from corresponding to When the time point in FIG. 13D disappears shortly after the time point, it gradually changes into a gradually disappearing image as shown in FIGS. 14A to 14D, which indicates that no effective squeezing action has been performed, so the corresponding pre-processing is not performed. Set function.

Referring to FIG. 16, according to the pressing action sensed by the edge sensor 40 of the portable electronic device 100, the touch function of a specific area in the touch display screen 109 is disabled. For example, when the processor 102 determines that the force of the pressing action (or pressing action) is higher than a preset value (for example, the threshold value TH1) via the first sensor 104 and / or the second sensor 104, the The touch function of the area 60 can be used, and the display function of the touch display screen 109 can still work. When the force of the pressing action (or pressing action) is less than a preset value (for example, the threshold value TH2), the processor 102 restores the touch function of the area 60. In other words, the touch function of the area 60 is disabled during a period between the time point corresponding to the threshold value TH1 and the time point corresponding to the threshold value TH2, and is restored after the time point corresponding to the threshold value TH2. In one embodiment, the touch function of the area 60 is disabled during the period PT1, which is shown in FIG. 10. In an embodiment, the area of the disabled area 60 may be increased under the condition of gradually increasing pressure, that is, gradually increasing from the edge of the touch display screen 109 toward the center of the touch display screen 109. That is, the width W of the region 60 may increase when the pressure sensed by the first sensor 104 and / or the second sensor 104 increases. In another embodiment, when the processor 102 determines that the force of the pressing action (or pressing action) is higher than a predetermined value (for example, the threshold value TH1), the touch function of the entire touch display screen 109 may be disabled.
