Touch method, touch device and information processing device

The present invention relates to a touch control method, in particular to a touch control method capable of preventing false touches.

Touch devices have been widely used in more and more electronic devices, especially in the field of portable smart devices. It provides great convenience for performing various operations on smart devices such as mobile phones.

At present, the screen design of smart phones has a trend of increasing size and thin bezels, and even smart phones with curved screens or borderless screens have appeared. When people hold the mobile phone with one hand, the hand will touch the side of the mobile phone screen and cause false touches, resulting in poor user experience. In response to the above problems, there are currently two main improvement methods: one is to identify and avoid false touches through the algorithm installed inside the smart phone, but this method will make the processor perform a lot of calculations, affecting the effect of touch and Other functions of the smart device; another method is to set a false touch area, and the processor does not respond to the touch in this area and does not report point processing, that is, all touch operations in this area are regarded as invalid. touch, however, this approach will indirectly reduce the effective touch area of the touch screen.

To solve the above problems, a novel touch control method is urgently needed in the art.

An object of the present invention is to provide a touch control method for preventing false touches, which allows a user to define a shielded area and a detection gesture on a touch screen, and to determine the operation detected in the shielded area Whether the gesture conforms to the detection gesture is used to quickly identify whether the operation gesture is a wrong touch, so as to greatly improve the user's touch experience without reducing the effective touch area of the touch screen.
