The embodiments are a part of the embodiments of the invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

The method for identifying a user identity and the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present invention are applicable to an electronic device having a touch input interface. The method for identifying a user identity according to the embodiment of the present invention can distinguish the user identity, and the user identity is Refers to distinguish whether the user is a child or a child People, for different users, the electronic device performs different operations after identifying the user identity. For example, it is recognized that the user is an adult, directly turned on or unlocked, or an application is opened, and when the user is identified as a child, the power on or unlock operation is not performed, or an application is not opened. The processing procedure of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Before introducing the specific embodiments, some nouns in the embodiments of the present invention are explained as follows.

Electronic devices, including mobile phones with touch input interfaces, Tablet Personal Computers, Laptop Computers, multimedia players, digital cameras, personal digital assistants (PDAs), navigation devices, Mobile Internet Device (MID) or Wearable Device.

The touch input interface is an interface that can detect a user's touch operation and detect information of a contact area corresponding to the touch operation, and may be, for example, a touch screen, a touch panel, or a touch button. The touch screen may specifically be a capacitive touch screen.

The touch operation may be an operation performed by the user directly contacting the touch input interface of the electronic device, or may be an operation of indirectly contacting the touch input interface of the electronic device through a glove or the like, or a touch input to the electronic device by means of hovering touch. The operation of the interface. However, due to the indirect contact, the glove also affects the area of the detected contact area, and the floating touch type, because the area of the detected contact area may also be affected by the flying height, therefore, according to the user directly contacting the electronic device When the touch input interface performs operations and judges, the judgment result is more accurate. In the embodiment of the present invention, only the operation performed by the user directly contacting the touch input interface of the electronic device is taken as an example for description.

If the electronic device enters the adult mode, the user has the right to use the operating system and the application of the electronic device, and the operating system of the electronic device and the operation interface of the application can be normally displayed.

If the electronic device enters the child mode, the user's normal use of the operating system and application of the electronic device will be limited, and some operating systems and/or applications may be hidden, for example, games installed in the electronic device, or functions of the Internet. The option may not be displayed, or although it is displayed normally, the user cannot start and use normally. The restrictions on the operating system and applications can be set when the electronic device is shipped from the factory, or when the electronic device enters the adult mode or the secure mode. The self-setting, its specific implementation does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the palm is divided into a palm and five fingers, as shown in FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a hand, five fingers are a thumb, an index finger, a middle finger, a ring finger and a little finger, and the palm is the entire palm. A part other than five fingers.

The area of the palm, the area of the corresponding contact area when the entire palm is pressed against the touch input interface for touch input.

The area of the finger, the area of the corresponding contact area when the entire finger is pressed against the touch input interface for touch input.

The area of the finger is the area of the corresponding contact area when the finger of the first interphalangeal joint to the finger end is pressed at the touch input interface for touch input.

The area of the palm, in order to press the entire palm to the touch input interface for touch input, the area of the corresponding contact area is the area of the palm plus five fingers.

When the user uses the entire palm, or the entire finger, or the finger of a finger, or the entire palm presses the touch input interface for touch input, the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation may be approximated as a circle or an ellipse. The touch input interface can directly detect the area of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation, or detect the radius or diameter of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation (if approximately circular), or detect the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation. Long or short axis (if approximated as an ellipse). After detecting the radius or diameter of the contact area, or the long axis + the short axis, the area of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation can also be calculated according to the calculation formula of the area of the circle or the ellipse.

The information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation may be an area of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation, or a radius or a diameter of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation, or a long axis of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation, or a touch input Operate the short axis of the corresponding contact area. It can be understood that there are also combinations where, for example: area + radius or diameter, area + long axis, area + short axis, long axis + short axis, area + long axis + short axis. The area of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation may be the area of the designated finger, the area of the finger of the designated finger, the area of the palm, or the area of the entire palm. . From the type of user who touches the input, the information of the contact area corresponding to the detected touch input operation may be adult or child.

The information of the preset contact area is a contact area corresponding to the touch input operation The information is compared against the benchmark. Corresponding to the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation, the information of the preset contact area may also be the area of the preset touch area, or the radius or diameter of the preset touch area, or the preset touch area. The long axis, or the short axis of the preset touch area. For the same reason, there may be combinations, such as: area + radius or diameter, area + long axis, area + short axis, long axis + short axis, area + long axis + short axis. From the location of the touch input, the information of the preset contact area may be the area of the designated finger, the area of the finger of the designated finger, the area of the palm, or the area of the entire palm. The specified finger can be one or more. From the type of user input by touch, the information of the preset contact area may be adult, or children's, or both adults and children, and may be an intermediate value calculated based on data of adults and children. . Optionally, the information about the adult or the child mentioned above may be the statistical average of the adults used or the statistical average of the children, or the user may enter the data by himself.

It can be understood that the information of the contact area corresponding to the above touch input operation must correspond to the information of the preset contact area, that is, the same object is compared and judged. For example: Comparing the area of the thumb of the thumb, the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation is the area detected by the user through the thumb of the thumb, the area detected by the touch input interface, or the long axis and the short axis detected according to the touch input interface. The calculated area; the information of the preset contact area is the area of the finger of the reference thumb, which may be at least one of the area of the finger of the adult's thumb and the area of the thumb of the child's thumb. For example, comparing the long axis of the palm, the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation is the long axis detected by the user through the palm input and the touch input interface; and the information of the preset contact area at this time is the palm of the reference. The long axis can be at least one of the long axis of the palm of the adult and the long axis of the palm of the child.

In order to ensure the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation, it must correspond to the information of the preset contact area, and the object of comparison and judgment can be set at the time of shipment, or by the user, for example, the factory default value is the area of the finger of the thumb. It is also possible to indicate to the user, in a graphical, text, voice, or animation manner, each time the user performs the touch input operation, which part of the hand should be touch input operation, optionally, and specifically indicate what the user should follow. Direction input, that is, at an angle with the horizontal or vertical axis of the screen of the electronic device, for example, the finger input requiring the thumb is used as an example, and the user may be prompted to follow the direction in which the thumb extends and the horizontal axis of the screen of the electronic device or The vertical axis is input in parallel. If the electronic device has a relatively large touch Screen (for example, can accommodate more than two fingers at the same time), you can default the user to input anywhere on the entire screen, or display a specific area, prompting the user to input in this area is valid, this specific The area is called the effective area. If the touch input interface of the electronic device only has a small contact area (such as a touch button, etc.), it is not necessary to specify in which areas the input is valid, and the default input is valid in the entire area. There are various ways to prompt the user for the effective area. If the touch-in interface is a touch screen with a display function, the effective area can be clearly identified directly on the touch screen.

In the specific comparison, if the comparison reference only has the information of the adult, it can be judged whether the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation and the information of the adult are within a preset range (for example, 10%), and if so, judge It is an adult who performs the touch input operation, otherwise, it is judged that the child who performs the touch input operation is a child. Similarly, if the reference of the comparison is only the information of the child, it can be determined whether the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation is different from the information of the child within a preset range (for example, 10%), and if so, it is judged that the touch is performed. The input operation is for children, otherwise, it is judged that the adult who performs the touch input operation is an adult. If the benchmark for comparison has both adult information and child information, it can be judged which information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation is closer to, for example, the information of the adult is added to the information of the child, divided by two, The value point determines whether the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation falls within the (children's information, middle finger) interval, or falls within the (middle finger, adult information) interval, and if it is the former, determines to perform the touch input operation. It is a child, and if it is the latter, it is judged that an adult is performing the touch input operation.

If you compare and judge the area of multiple parts, you can compare the sum of the areas of multiple parts, or compare them separately, and then judge the result of most parts (or all the parts are judged as one type) When the user is the user, this type of user is the result of the judgment). If you compare and judge the long axis of multiple parts, you can compare multiple parts separately, and then judge the result of most parts (or all the parts of the judgment result are a class of users, this type of user is taken as The result of the judgment). For example, if the area of the five fingers and the palm is compared and judged, if the touch input interface can detect the area of the contact area corresponding to the entire touch input operation (the sum of the areas of the five fingers and the palm), the detection will be detected. The area is directly compared with the area of the preset contact area (the sum of the area of the five fingers and the palm); if the touch input interface can approximate the five fingers and the palm to six ellipse respectively, then six ovals can be used. The sum of the areas of the area is directly compared with the area of the preset contact area (the sum of the area of the five fingers and the palm), or the area of the six ellipse is respectively the area of the preset contact area (five fingers) The area of each is compared with the area of the palm).

In order to improve the accuracy of the judgment result, the user may be instructed to input multiple times (for example, set to 2 times or 3 times), and then the corresponding number of times is compared. When the judgment result of multiple times is a certain user type, the user is The type is the final judgment result; or the majority of the multiple judgment results is taken as the final judgment result. To detect whether the user inputs in the valid area, you can use the existing methods, which will not be repeated here.

If there is a requirement for the input area or the input direction, if the user does not input in the valid area, or does not input in the required input direction, the above judgment process is not performed, and the user is prompted to re-enter until the user inputs in the required input direction. . Detecting whether the user inputs according to the required input direction, the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation can be approximated as an ellipse, by judging whether the long axis of the ellipse is in the required input direction (for example, with the horizontal axis and the vertical of the screen of the electronic device) The angle of the axis is an angle) to determine whether the user inputs in the required input direction.

2 is a flowchart of Embodiment 1 of a method for identifying a user identity according to the present invention.

A device, or a specific module or device in an electronic device. The method can include:

S101. Detect a user's touch input operation on the touch input interface.

The S101 is executed in various conditions, for example, the electronic device is currently in an unlocked state, or the electronic device receives a request for the user to open the set application or function, or the electronic device is in the power-on confirmation state, or It is the electronic device that is turned on. When the electronic device detects the above trigger condition, execution of S101 is started. The manner in which the electronic device detects the triggering condition may be in various manners in the prior art, which is not limited herein.

The detection in S101 can employ a method of detecting a touch input operation in the prior art, and the specific implementation thereof does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.

Optionally, after detecting the trigger condition, before performing S101, the user may be prompted to use the palm, or use a designated finger, or a finger of a designated finger, or use a palm to perform a touch input operation. The specific manner of the prompt may include: displaying a corresponding text prompt message, a picture prompt Messages, animation prompt messages, or play corresponding voice prompts. The content of the prompt may include: prompting the user which finger to use; or prompting the user to input in which direction the finger is pressed (for example, the direction in which the finger extends is parallel to the direction of the horizontal axis of the touch input interface, or the vertical direction of the touch input interface) The direction of the axes is parallel; it is also possible to prompt the user to input in which direction the palm is pressed (for example, the direction in which the middle finger extends is parallel to the direction of the horizontal axis of the touch input interface, or parallel to the direction of the longitudinal axis of the touch input interface). Of course, the use of the entire palm input is only applicable to electronic devices with a touch screen larger than the adult's palm. Optionally, the user may also be prompted to enter the area in which the specific input is valid.

5102. If the touch input operation is detected, obtain information of a contact area corresponding to the touch input operation.

If the user's touch input operation is detected, the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation is acquired through the touch input interface for subsequent judgment.

1. The long axis of the designated finger of the adult, and at least one of the long axis of the specified finger of the child.

2. The long axis of the finger of the designated finger of the adult, and the long axis of the finger of the designated finger of the child.

3. At least one of the long axis of the palm of the adult and the long axis of the palm of the child. 4. The long axis of the palm of an adult, and at least one of the long axes of the palm of a child.

The user can perform a touch input operation on the touch input interface using the finger, or the finger of the finger, or the palm, or the palm, and the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation can be considered to be substantially an ellipse or a circle. If it is approximately elliptical, the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation in S102 may be included in the following three cases:

1. Detect the long axis and the short axis of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation, and calculate the area of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation.

2. Detect half of the long axis and half of the short axis of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation, and calculate the area of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation.

3. Detect the long axis of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation; or detect half of the long axis of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation.

S104. Perform a corresponding operation according to the type of the user.

Optionally, determining the type of the user includes: determining whether the user is an adult or a child, and performing a corresponding operation according to the type of the user. For example: When it is judged that the user is an adult, the operation corresponding to the adult is performed; or, when the user is judged to be a child, the operation corresponding to the child is performed.

In the above embodiment, there are four scenarios for detecting a user's touch input operation on the touch input interface:

1. When the electronic device is in the power-on confirmation state, the user's touch input operation to the touch input interface is detected.

The corresponding operation of the adult is to open the electronic device normally.

The corresponding action of the child is to turn off the electronic device.

2. When the electronic device is in the unlocked state, the user's touch input operation to the touch input interface is detected.

The operation corresponding to the adult is to unlock the electronic device.

The corresponding action of the child is to keep the lock on the electronic device.

3. When the electronic device receives a request for the user to open the set application or function, the user touches the touch input operation of the touch input interface.

The corresponding action of the adult is to start the set application or function.

The corresponding action of the child is executed, and the set application or function is not activated.

4. When the electronic device is turned on, the user's touch input operation to the touch input interface is detected. The operation corresponding to the adult is to enter the adult mode.

The operation corresponding to the child is to enter the child mode.

Specifically, the foregoing S 101 and S102 may be completed by a touch input interface in the electronic device, and the S 103 and the S 104 may be completed by a processor in the electronic device, and the calculated area of the contact area may be calculated by the touch input interface. After being sent to the processor, the processor may also calculate based on the information of the long axis and the short axis sent by the touch input interface.

The judging process of the above S 103 may be to perform a judgment, and then the judgment result is used as a final result, and the operation of S 104 is performed.

The judging process of the above S 103 may be to perform a plurality of judgments, and select most of the judgment results as the final judgment result, and then perform the operation of S104. For example, after three times of judgment, the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation is judged to be a child three times, and S 104 specifically includes: performing an operation corresponding to the child. Optionally, if the judgment result is two times in the three judgments, and the judgment result is an adult, and finally the user is judged to be a child, the S104 specifically includes: performing the operation corresponding to the child.

When the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation is much larger or smaller than the information of the preset contact area, the authentication failure may be displayed at this time, and the process may return to S101 again to instruct the user to perform the touch operation again to perform the identification. When the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation is much larger than or much smaller than the information of the preset contact area, the operation corresponding to the child is performed. Wherein, if it is greater than 10% of the information of the preset contact area, it may be determined to be much larger than 10% of the information of the preset contact area, and may be judged to be far less than, and other judgment criteria may be adopted, for example, greater than When 15% of the information of the preset contact area is judged to be much larger than the information of the preset contact area, it is judged to be much smaller.

Further, the information of the preset contact area may also be set by the user, and the user may manually set the preset contact area information according to the requirements, for example, according to the thumb size of the adult of the user and the size of the child's thumb. To set the preset contact area information, it can be set to the middle of the adult's thumb size and the child's thumb size, or set to the adult's thumb size or the child's thumb size. For example, the information of the preset contact area is the intermediate value of the thumb size of the adult and the size of the thumb of the child. When the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation is greater than the intermediate value, the user is judged to be an adult, and the touch input operation corresponds to When the information of the contact area is less than the intermediate value, the user is judged to be a child; the information of the preset contact area is large for an adult. The size of the thumb, when the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation is greater than or equal to the size of the thumb of the adult set, the user is judged to be an adult, and the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation is smaller than the size of the thumb of the set adult, and the user is judged. For children; the information of the preset contact area is the size of the child's thumb. When the information of the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation is less than or equal to the size of the child's thumb, the user is judged to be a child, and the contact area corresponding to the touch input operation is larger than the child. When the size of the thumb is determined, the user is judged to be an adult. This is more flexible and convenient. The general system setting interface has touch screen parameter setting options, such as sensitivity, whether to support gloves, etc. Support for touch screen area unlocking can be added within this framework.
