As a whole, the corresponding underlying text box has a corresponding display block on the screen interface. The user's selection action can be specifically on the terminal screen. Clicking, etc., to control the screen backlight by judging the display block where the click position is located.

In the above technical solution, the method further includes: an area generating unit 120, configured to generate a corresponding selection area according to the selection trajectory formed on the screen interface by the selection action, to be used by the screen processing unit 102 A display object corresponding to the selection area is used as the designated display object.

In the above technical solution, preferably, each display object in the current display content of the terminal 100 has a corresponding display block on the screen interface, and the terminal 100 further includes: a block determining unit ( A display block in the selection area is used to determine a display object corresponding to the display block by the screen processing unit 102 as the designated display object.

In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: an object determining unit (not shown) for determining a display object in the selection area to be used by the screen processing unit 102 The portion located in the selection area is used as the designated display pair. In the technical solution, the above-mentioned "character block" is still taken as an example, and the text block is no longer used as a whole, but is drawn according to the user. Selecting the positional relationship between the area and the text block, and using the text inside the selected area as the selected display object, performing a bright screen or a dark screen processing, and not in the selected area, but belonging to the same text block. No bright or dark screen processing is performed.

In the above technical solution, the method further includes: a trajectory generating unit 126, configured to form a corresponding touch trajectory on the screen interface according to the detected touch action, to The screen processing unit 102 performs the bright screen or the dark screen processing on the touch area corresponding to the touch track on the screen interface.

In the above technical solution, preferably, the touch track forms a closed figure on the screen interface, and the track generating unit 126 uses an inner area of the closed figure as the touch area.

In this technical solution, for example, the closed figure is a rectangle, and the user only draws four sides of the rectangle, and the area surrounded by the four sides is the inner area of the rectangle. Of course, the user can draw any rule or irregular figure, which can be recognized by the terminal 100 to generate a corresponding touch area.

In the above technical solution, preferably, the touch track forms a contact surface on the screen interface, and the track generating unit 126 uses the touch surface as the touch area.

In this technical solution, for example, when the user operates on the screen interface of the terminal 100 using a finger, the terminal 100 performs a bright screen or a dark screen processing on the position on the screen interface that is in contact with the user's finger. Especially for some areas, the area is small, it is not convenient to select by means of area demarcation, or when the user wants to make small modifications to the already delimited areas, these areas can be "erased" by fingers. Action, similar to using an eraser.

In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: an action processing unit 128, configured to: when the terminal 100 detects an operation action for an area in a dark screen state on the screen interface, causing the area to exit State the dark state, or do not respond to the action.

In this technical solution, the page in the dark state may include some links or function controls, etc., because the user cannot see the links or function controls, and thus may cause a misoperation during the sliding of the page or the like. By exiting the dark screen state in time or not responding to these operational actions, misoperation can be avoided. In addition, "exit dark screen status" can understand For example: In a case where the user clicks on the area in the dark state, the area enters the bright screen state; in another case, for example, when the user presses the area in the dark state, the area enters the bright screen. Status (but does not activate the function of the area), when the user's finger leaves the screen, it will re-enter the dark screen state, which is convenient for the user to view the area under the dark screen state.

FIG. 2 shows a flow chart of a method of controlling a screen backlight according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, a method for controlling a screen backlight according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: Step 202: Perform bright screen or dark screen processing on a designated area on a screen interface of a terminal, and perform dark screen or bright screen on other areas. The specified area is an area corresponding to the specified display object in the current display content of the terminal on the screen interface, or an area selected by the user on the screen interface.

In the technical solution, by setting the association relationship, the terminal can intelligently control the backlight state of the screen according to the current display content to meet the user's needs. Specifically, for example, setting a "text-browser" association relationship, when the user browses the webpage, the terminal automatically pairs the text. Part of the bright screen processing, the rest of the dark screen processing, in order to achieve intelligent shielding of advertisements, push messages, etc. on the webpage. Of course, the user can set "picture, video-browser" to perform dark screen processing on pictures, videos, etc. on the webpage. Alternatively, the user may be specific to a certain webpage, such as "picture-A webpage", that is, the user is only interested in the image on the webpage, and when the user browses to the webpage of A, the part corresponding to the image on the webpage is automatically illuminated. The screen processing, while the rest of the text, video, blank parts, etc. are in a dark screen state, and intelligently extracting content useful to the user according to different scenarios.

In the technical solution, each picture, each block of text, etc. is used as a display object, and a function control corresponding to each display object is set, especially for a larger page and a terminal screen. In a large case, if the function controls are collectively set (specifically, for example, a virtual button corresponding to each display object), the user can perform selection of the display object through the function control without performing too much action. Of course, since the number of display objects may be more, it is actually more likely to set a function control for each display object, such as setting a function control for all pictures. By selecting this function control, the user can directly select the current control. All the pictures in the page.

In the above technical solution, preferably, each of the current display contents of the terminal is displayed. The object has a corresponding display block on the screen interface, and the step of selecting the specified display object in real time includes: acquiring a trigger position corresponding to the selection action on the screen interface; The display object corresponding to the display block at the location is displayed as the specified display. In the technical solution, for example, for a page including a plurality of types of display objects such as texts and pictures, it is often a piece of text, a picture, and a piece of text. If the form is typeset, then the segmented text should be treated as a whole, and the corresponding underlying text box has a corresponding display block on the screen interface. The user's selection action may specifically be a click on the terminal screen, etc., by judging the display block where the click position is located, thereby controlling the screen backlight.

In the technical solution, still taking the above-mentioned "character block" as an example, the text block is no longer used as a whole, but according to the positional relationship between the selected area drawn by the user and the text block, If the text inside the selected area is the selected display object and is subjected to bright or dark screen processing, and the characters that are not in the selected area but belong to the same block of text, no bright or dark screen processing is performed.

In this technical solution, the page in the dark state may contain some links or functions. Can control, etc., because the user can not see these links or function controls, it may cause misoperations during the sliding of the page. By exiting the dark screen state in time or not responding to these operational actions, misoperation can be avoided. In addition, "exiting the dark screen state" can be understood as: In one case, for example, when the user clicks on the area in the dark state, the area enters the bright screen state; in another case, for example, the user presses the dark screen state. When the area is down, the area enters the bright screen state (but does not activate the function of the area). When the user's finger leaves the screen, the user enters the dark screen state again, which is convenient for the user to view the area under the dark screen state.

3A to 3P are diagrams showing screen display effects of controlling a screen backlight of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the user views the content displayed on the screen interface of the terminal, as shown in FIG. 3A, the browsing webpage may be used as an example, and may include multiple display objects 302, such as text 302A, picture 302B, video 302C, and the like. However, users are not interested in all display objects 302. For example, the current webpage is a novel website, and the user is reading a novel online. At this time, for the user, the most concerned is the text 302A, and other pictures 302B, video 302C, etc., may be some advertisements, etc., which are neither concerned by the user nor interfere with the user's reading, but also corresponding The screen area brings unwarranted power consumption.

Therefore, with the technical solution of the present invention, the effect shown in FIG. 3B can be achieved, that is, the screen 302B, the video 302C, and the like which are not of interest to the user are subjected to dark screen processing on the area corresponding to the screen interface of the terminal, and the user is interested in The area corresponding to the text 302A (because the layout of the page may not be compact, and thus may also contain a blank portion) is in a bright screen state. Or, as shown in FIG. 3C, only the area corresponding to the text 302A is bright-screened, and for other pictures 302B, video 302C, etc. (because the layout of the page may not be compact, it may also contain a blank part) The area is subjected to dark screen processing.

When the user selects a certain display object 302, as shown in FIG. 3D, for example, for the text 302A in the middle part of FIG. 3D, if the corresponding screen area needs to be bright or dark screen processed, the terminal determines the corresponding text 302A. The position coordinates of the first pixel in the upper left corner of the underlying text box, assuming A ( XI , Y1 ), the position coordinates of the last pixel in the lower right corner, assuming B ( X2 , Y2 ). The terminal records all the pixels in the area enclosed by the A and B coordinates, so that these pixels are highlighted, and the pixels in other places are dark. Similarly, for the video 302C, the terminal determines the position coordinates of the first pixel in the upper left corner of the video 302C, assuming C (X3, Y3), and the position coordinates of the last pixel in the lower right corner, assuming D (X4, Y4) . The terminal records all the pixels in the area enclosed by the C and D coordinates, so that these pixels are highlighted, and the pixels in other places are dark.

Of course, if the area to be selected is not a similar regular shape, it can be divided into multiple regular shapes and respectively obtained corresponding coordinates; or for curved edges, multiple samples are taken on the curved line segment. The coordinates of the point to determine the corresponding area.

For users in the dark state, the user may still touch these areas. Then, for the user's accidental or accidental touch, the terminal can adopt: 1. Do not do any processing; 2. Make the area in the dark state exit. The screen is in a dark state, but does not respond to the click or touch operation. For example, when the user clicks or other operations in the area corresponding to the video 302C shown in FIG. 3B, the video should be opened in the normal state, but at this time. The "Open Video" action will not be performed.

For the possible way of using the terminal 2, there may be multiple cases:

As shown in FIG. 3E, FIG. 3E (a) is an initial state; when the user clicks on an area corresponding to a certain picture 302B, if the terminal detects the "click" operation, the area corresponding to the picture 302B is illuminated. Processing (as shown in Figure 3E (b)); When the user's finger leaves the screen and the terminal does not detect the "click" operation, the area corresponding to the picture 302B will return to the dark state (return to Figure 3E (a) The initial state shown).

In another case, as shown in FIG. 3F, FIG. 3F (a) is an initial state; when the terminal detects the "click" operation, the area corresponding to the picture 302B is bright-screened (see FIG. 3F (b). )))) When the user's finger leaves the screen and the terminal does not detect the "click" operation, the area corresponding to the picture 302B remains in the bright state (as shown in Figure 3F (c)).

As shown in FIG. 3G, FIG. 3G (a) is an initial state; when the user clicks on an area corresponding to a certain picture 302B, if the terminal detects the "click" operation, the current displayed page (such as the currently viewed web page) All the areas corresponding to the picture 302B are bright-screened (as shown in Figure 3G (b)); when the user's finger leaves the screen and the terminal does not detect the "click" operation, then all the pictures 302B correspond to the area It will return to the dark screen state (return to the initial ^ state shown in Figure 3G (a)). In another case, as shown in FIG. 3H, FIG. 3H ( a ) is an initial state; when the terminal detects the "click" operation, all the areas corresponding to the picture 302B are brightly processed.

(As shown in Figure 3H (b)); When the user's finger leaves the screen and the terminal does not detect the "click" operation, all the areas corresponding to the picture 302B remain in the bright state (see Figure 3H).

(c) shown).

The process of selecting a specific display object 302 will be described in detail below with reference to Figs. 31 to 3N.

In the first case, it is necessary to perform setting in the terminal in advance. For example, the user wants to perform bright screen processing or dark on the screen area corresponding to the display object 302 of the specified type in a certain function interface of an application or an application. Screen processing, for example, if you want to not display "picture" in "browser", store the corresponding relationship of "browser-picture"; for example, you want to display only "text" in "A page" of "browser". The correspondence of "Browser-A Web-Text" is stored.

Then, the terminal judges whether there is a stored correspondence according to the function interface of the application or application currently being used by the user. If it exists, the corresponding display object 302 that is desired to be displayed or not displayed is acquired, and the corresponding screen area is automatically subjected to bright screen processing or dark screen processing to realize intelligent shielding of useless information or intelligent extraction of useful information.

In the second case, as shown in FIG. 31, a specific one or more categories of display objects 302 are selected by the function control 306. Specifically, by displaying the function control 306 corresponding to the type of the one or more display objects 302 on the current display interface, when the user selects one of the function controls 306, the corresponding one or more of the current pages Display objects 302 of various types are subjected to bright or dark screen processing. For example, when the user selects "text", it automatically enters a display effect similar to that shown in Figure 3C. More specifically, the integrated control area 304 can be set on the current display interface, and the function control 306 can be placed in the integrated control area 304.

In the third case, as shown in FIG. 3J, wherein FIG. 3J ( a ) is an initial state, the user can directly click and select a display object 302 in the current page. Specifically, each display object 302 corresponds to a display block on the screen interface. For example, the text in FIG. 3J corresponds to a text block 310. When the user performs a trigger operation on the screen interface, a corresponding trigger point 308 is generated. After (as shown in Figure 3J (a)), it can be judged by the trigger point 308 The positional relationship of the text block 310. If the trigger point 308 is located in the text block 310, the text block 310 is selected and subjected to a bright screen processing (the display effect is as shown in FIG. 3J (b)), of course, Alternatively, dark screen processing (not shown) can be performed.

The "trigger operation" herein may actually include various situations. For example, when the terminal 100 is configured with a capacitive touch screen, even if there is no touch with the touch screen, the action can be detected. Therefore, the finger can be used. For example, it is obvious that a touch pen or the like can be used to approach the touch screen but does not touch the touch screen, and an operation capable of recognizing it is referred to as a “proximity touch operation”, and an operation of actually touching the finger to the touch screen is referred to as “contact touch”. "Operation" in the present invention should be understood to include "proximity touch operation" and/or "contact touch operation".

Then, in the "proximity touch operation", the "trigger point" is a position where the finger is vertically opposed to the touch screen, and specifically, when an event such as a trigger point is in a blank space on the screen interface and the trigger time exceeds a preset time threshold, , to determine that a trigger operation has occurred; in the "contact touch operation", the "trigger point" is the touch position of the finger and the touch screen, and specifically, a trigger may occur in a blank space such as on the screen interface, and a long press in the blank space When an event occurs, it is determined that a trigger action has occurred.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3K, FIG. 3K (a) is an initial state; after determining that the user selects the text block 310, the terminal will automatically select all the text blocks on the current page (text block 310, text block 310A). , text block 310B, etc., and all are subjected to bright screen processing (as shown in FIG. 3K (b)), thereby eliminating the need for the user to repeatedly perform the selection operation.

In the fourth case, as shown in Figure 3L. In Figure 3L (a), the user draws a gesture track on the screen interface of the terminal to form a corresponding selection area 312, and there are still multiple selection methods at this time:

1. As shown in FIG. 3L(b), a ratio needs to be set in advance, that is, the selected portion of a selected area 312 occupies a percentage of the entire area of the block, for example, 50%, because the text block 310 in the figure Fully selected, the picture block 314 is selected to be greater than 50%, and the video block 316 is selected to be less than 50%. Therefore, the selected text block 310 and the picture block 314 are determined to be bright-screened, and the video area is selected. Block 316 does not perform a bright screen process.

2. As shown in Fig. 3L (c), for any block that has an intersection with the selected area 312, When it is determined to be selected, the text block 310, the picture block 314, and the video block 316 are all bright-screened.

3. The setting must be completely in the selection area 312 to determine that it is selected. In this case, only the selected text block 310 will be determined and bright-screened.

In the above four cases, the user directly selects the display object 302 in the current display page. In fact, the user may not select the display object 302, but select a certain screen area on the screen interface of the terminal. The difference between the two is:

As shown in FIG. 3M, when the display object 302 is selected, when the user slides the display page, for example, when the slide is displayed upward as shown in FIG. 3M (a), the display object 302 will move upward with the page, and accordingly, The area in the bright screen state or the dark screen state is also moved upward (the display effect is as shown in Fig. 3M (b)) because these areas correspond to the display object 302.

As shown in FIG. 3N, the selection is directly made on the screen. Specifically, when the user selects the touch area 318 in the lower right corner of the screen, when the user moves upward in the initial state shown in FIG. 3N (a), When the page is in the page, the touch area 318 is always in the lower right corner of the screen, and remains in a dark state (the display effect is as shown in Fig. 3N (b)). Since many web pages like to pop up advertisements in the lower right corner of the page, in this way, intelligent filtering of advertisements can be realized.

Specifically, when the touch area 318 is selected, there are also various situations, including: In the first case, as shown in FIG. 30, the user directly draws a touch track 320 on the screen of the terminal, and the touch track 320 constitutes a When the graphic is closed, the inner region of the closed graphic (i.e., the shaded region in the drawing) is determined as the touch region 318.

In the second case, as shown in Fig. 3P, sometimes the area that the user wishes to process may be small, which is not conducive to the selection of the area by the first case. Specifically, since the user generates a corresponding touch surface on the screen when the user slides on the screen by a finger (or a stylus pen or the like), the terminal touches the touch surface of the finger with the screen as the touch area 318, and touches The generation of the trajectory 320 enlarges the area of the touch area 318.

The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. In view of the related art, the screen of the terminal must be illuminated or darkly displayed in the whole, and the displayed content contains a lot of useless information, which interferes with the line of sight and wastes battery power. Therefore, the present invention provides a terminal and a control method of a screen backlight, which can perform sub-area control on the screen backlight of the terminal, and reduce the position in the screen. The area of the area in the bright screen state reduces the power consumption of the terminal.

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. within the spirit and scope of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
