In this example, the drive information can be triggered by any of the following events: Long press on the area; Respond to the trace symbol in the determined area. The drive information during the implementation process is not limited to the above events, supports the development of custom capabilities, and selects new event trigger drive information during the development process. As shown in FIG. 2, the mapping process is performed in step S104. If the control information sent by the user is received during the mapping process, the mapping process is exited, and the touch operation is performed according to the touch signaling directly at the first location. When implemented, the control information can be triggered by any of the following events: Long press on the area; Start the exit button; Press the camera button halfway. The control information during the implementation process is not limited to the above events, supports the development of custom capabilities, and selects new event trigger control information during the development process. In a preferred embodiment, if the first area is not a border area, it is possible to operate across areas. As shown in the flow of FIG. 1, the mapping process mentioned in step S104 implements the mapping from the first location to the second location, which essentially implements point-to-point mapping. The method provided by any of the above preferred embodiments is applied to a large-screen touch terminal, and is not limited to a mobile phone, and includes a large-screen terminal such as a PDA or a tablet computer. In order to support any of the above preferred embodiments, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a touch screen operating device, which is shown in FIG. 2, and includes: a receiving module 201, which is set to be the first in the touch screen. The location receives the touch information input by the user, where the first location is located in the first area of the touch screen; The mapping module 202 is connected to the receiving module 201, and is configured to map the first location information corresponding to the first location according to the preset mapping rule to obtain the second location information. The touch module 203 is connected to the mapping module 202, and is set to And performing a touch operation on the second location corresponding to the second location information according to the touch information, where the second location is located in an area outside the first area of the touch screen. In the implementation process, according to the different functions of the touch screen operation device, the module division may be different. For example, the mapping module may also be divided into two sub-modules: regional operation and mapping operation, and the specific division manner is based on actual conditions. set. In summary, it is an object of the embodiments of the present invention to provide a method for facilitating a user to operate a large-screen touch screen (for example, a large-screen mobile phone), and may also be simply referred to as a method for operating a touch screen with one hand (ie, mentioned above). Touch screen operation method). In order to make the touch screen operation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention clearer and more clear, it will be described in the specific embodiment. For convenience of description, a large-screen mobile phone will be exemplified as an example. Embodiment 1 Referring to FIG. 3, an embodiment of the present invention defines a large mobile phone touch screen (using a ZTE mobile phone as an example) to define a one-hand convenient operation area and a one-hand inconvenient operation area, and the area A will be used as shown in the figure (equivalent to The first area mentioned above) and the area B (corresponding to the area other than the first area mentioned above) are described. The user can conveniently complete the operation in the area A. Therefore, the main principle of the embodiment of the present invention is to realize the operation of the area B by using the operation of the area A, and finally complete the operation of realizing the full screen in the area A. The specific touch scheme is shown in Figure 4. The touch control solution provided by the embodiment of the invention is divided into modules such as user control, touch drive, and touch operation mapping. The specific operation process is as shown in FIG. 4, and the user operation is transmitted to the touch driving module via the user control module (where the user control module and the touch driving module are equivalent to the receiving module in FIG. 3), and then the touch operation mapping module (Equivalent to the mapping module in FIG. 3) intercepts the touch information originally transmitted by the driver to the response AP (Mobile Application Layer, abbreviated as AP) module (corresponding to the touch module in FIG. 3), and is mapped by touch operation. The module is mapped and passed to the response AP module. In this way, the response AP module can obtain the touch information of the complete screen from the area A. The touch driving module provides a scheme auxiliary function. On the one hand, the touch driving module provides a strategy for starting and exiting the mapping; on the other hand, the touch driving module supports the touch operation mapping module to intercept the touch information reported by the hardware. The touch driving module according to the embodiment of the invention supports development to define more touch operations, such as long pressing in a certain area or in determining The area response determines the track symbol and so on. At the same time, it supports development to intercept or pre-process the touch information, and support the development of custom capabilities. The touch operation mapping module provides the mapping control and operation functions of the touch scheme. In the embodiment of the present invention, the mapping operation of the touch scheme is implemented by using the mapping control sub-module, the regional operation sub-module, and the mapping operation sub-module. The mapping control sub-module provides the user with control to initiate the exit mapping. The embodiment of the present invention will define an event in which the user initiates the exit mapping, such as long press in the lower right corner of the area A, start and exit button in the area A, half press the camera button, and the like. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the type of event, and the specific implementation may be flexibly selected. After the user initiates the mapping, the embodiment of the present invention provides a user mapping configuration UI (visualization interface, hereinafter abbreviated as UI), as shown in FIG. 5 . FIG. 5 illustrates the mapping configuration area, but the embodiment of the present invention has no limitation on the number of areas. In the mapping configuration UI, the user can determine the mapping target according to the operation situation. At the same time, the system will record the user configuration target information. The area operation sub-module performs area calculation based on the mapping configuration information, and updates the area operation information, and the area operation sub-module assists in determining whether to start the mapping. The user configuration target will start normally in a non-predefined area A or it will operate according to normal functions. The area operation sub-module determines the area to which the touch information reported by the current driver belongs, and updates the information of the mapping operation. The mapping operation sub-module performs a mapping operation based on information updated by the region operation sub-module. The main purpose is to report the mapped touch information to the response AP module. The mapping operation sub-module is based on the user's configuration, as shown in Figure 6. For example, the area 1 shown in FIG. 6 is the target area, and the area calculation sub-module updates the information of the area 1 and the touch information reported by the driver to the mapping operation sub-module. The mapping operation sub-module performs point-to-point touch information mapping according to the area information of the area 1 and the predefined area A, and finally the touch information obtained by the response AP module is mapped as shown in FIG. 6, which can be realized. The purpose of area 1 is manipulated from a predefined area A. In summary, the technical solution provided by the present invention has a positive effect on the current large-screen touch mobile phone. There is a significant improvement in the user experience, which can enhance the competitiveness of the product to a certain extent. Embodiment 2 In this embodiment, the touch screen operation method of the embodiment of the present invention can be divided into three parts: a touch drive, a touch control, and a touch operation. The touch plan shown in FIG. 4 is used in this example. Based on the operation of each module, the operation of each module in Fig. 4 is the same. First of all, in terms of the touch drive module, it is necessary to develop a need to customize touch information. Pre-reporting is provided for the touch driver module, which provides custom function functions for development. Development can mount the function pointer that is expected to be executed on the pre-reporting operation, so that the development can implement the touch computing function in the custom function. For touch control, the example uses an 800*480 screen, and the screen is configured as four areas. In the UI aspect, the mapped touch information is indicated by a moving ball. The information for the four areas configured is:

{0, 0, 240, 400}, {240, 0, 480, 400}, {0, 400, 240, 800}, {240, 400, 480, 800}

The predefined area A is defined as: {200, 300, 480, 800} Provides data structure record user configuration information: Struct sTouchInfo

currentArea; //User-configured area information defaultArea;//Preset area A information reconfigArea;//Regional adjustment information realTouchPos;//Driver reported touch information

In terms of touch computing, it is combined with the touch control description and recorded information to perform recalculation. For example, the touch position reported by the current driver is {300, 500}, and the mapping target configured by the user is the area 1 shown in FIG. 6. Since the predefined area A is larger than the area 1 area, the centering method is simply used in this implementation, that is, the area 1 is at the center of the area A, so that the adjustment area is {20, 50, 20, 50} according to the current implementation. Thus if realTouchPos.300 - default Area.200 is less than 20, it means that it has moved to the boundary of Area 1. If Zone 1 is not a border zone, cross-zone operations are allowed. The current position is mapped by the mapping operation: realTouchPos.300 - default Area.200 - reconfigArea.20 + current Area.0 = 80; realTouchPos.500 - defaultArea.300 - reconfigArea.50 + current Area. 0 = 50; That is, the mapped position is {80, 50}, and the mapping operation module organizes the location information into the response AP module. The implementation of the present invention has been described above in three respects. It is only for the purpose of explaining the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, so the details and verification of the operation are not involved. However, it has been seen from the implementation that the method of the embodiment of the present invention can solve the problems that the embodiment of the present invention begins to explore, and has good implementability. From the above description, it can be seen that the present invention achieves the following technical effects: In the embodiment of the present invention, the touch screen is regarded as two regions, one is called a first region, and the other is called a first region. The area, in this example, receives the touch information input by the user in the first location in the first area, and then maps the first location information according to the preset mapping rule to obtain the corresponding second location information, and then according to the touch The information is touched to the second location. That is, in this example, the user can perform the operation only in the first area, and the effect of operating the area outside the first area can be realized, thereby ensuring the operability of the large-screen touch screen and improving the user experience. Obviously, those skilled in the art should understand that the above modules or steps of the present invention can be implemented by a general-purpose computing device, which can be concentrated on a single computing device or distributed over a network composed of multiple computing devices. Alternatively, they may be implemented by program code executable by the computing device, such that they may be stored in the storage device by the computing device and, in some cases, may be different from the order herein. The steps shown or described are performed, or they are separately fabricated into individual integrated circuit modules, or a plurality of modules or steps are fabricated as a single integrated circuit module. Thus, the invention is not limited to any specific combination of hardware and software. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and scope of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
