detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the sensing capacitance value is a capacitance change value generated on a TP (Touch Panel). Today, most TPs on smartphones use capacitive touch screens. Since the human body is a conductor, the contact area capacitance changes when the TP is touched. If the capacitance change value exceeds the preset threshold, the mobile phone uses the relevant algorithm to accurately report the touch area to a touch point and report it to the system. Generally, the preset threshold is a capacitance value generated on the TP after the human body touches the TP, that is, the terminal reports to the system only after the human body touches the TP. However, if the preset threshold is lowered, when the human body approaches or does not touch the TP, the capacitance value generated on the TP can reach the preset threshold, and the terminal also reports the system, so that the floating operation can be realized, that is, when the finger approaches When the TP is not touched (for example, the distance can be 1 to 2 mm), the TP can also detect the area generated by the current capacitance value, thereby determining the position of the finger.

The terminal in the embodiment of the present invention may be a touch screen terminal device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). The display unit of the terminal can be used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user. The display unit may include a display panel and a touch screen. The touch screen may cover the display panel, and when the touch screen detects a touch operation on or near it, the processor transmitted to the terminal determines the type of the touch event, and then the processor provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel according to the type of the touch event. . Although the touch screen and the display panel can function as two separate components to implement the input and output functions of the terminal, in some embodiments, the touch screen can also be integrated with the display panel to implement the input and output functions of the terminal.

Example 1:

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for identifying a left and right hand. The execution subject is a terminal. As shown in FIG. 1 , the method includes the following steps:

101. Acquire an induction capacity value X of the touch screen of the terminal.

The sensing capacitance value obtained by the embodiment of the present invention is a capacitance value generated by the touch screen when the user holds the terminal, the finger approaches the touch screen, but the touch screen does not touch the touch screen, or the capacitance value of the touch screen is touched (touched or pressed) by the finger. When the user's finger is close, but the touch screen has not been touched, the sensing value of the touch screen may be different due to the distance between the finger and the touch screen. For example, the closer the finger is to the touch screen, the larger the sensing value of the touch screen may be. When a finger touches the touch screen, the sensing capacitance of the touch screen may also differ depending on the area of the finger contact or the strength of the finger press.

102. If the sensing capacitance X is included in the preset interval M, determine an area where the sensing capacitance X is generated; the preset interval M=(S _min , S _max ); the S _min is a pre- The minimum sensed capacitance value is set, and the S _max is a preset maximum sensed capacitance value.

The range of (S _min , S _max ] is greater than S _min and less than or equal to S _max . The range of the preset interval M is greater than a preset minimum sensing capacitance value, and is less than or equal to a preset maximum sensing capacitance value. The preset minimum sensing capacitance value may be an inductive capacitance value generated by the invalid noise signal to the touch screen; or may be a measured minimum sensing capacitance value required to approach or touch the touch screen, for example, if the distance of the finger from the touch screen is required to be at least When the value is less than 2 mm, the right and left hands can be identified, and the preset minimum value of the sensing value can also be the corresponding sensing value when the measured finger is 2 mm away from the touch screen; or an empirical value is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. When the user touches the touch screen to recognize whether the user uses the left or right or the right hand, the preset minimum sensing capacitance value may also be the measured capacitance value corresponding to the touch screen when the user's finger just touches the touch screen. The invalid noise signal may be It is an electromagnetic wave generated by the influence of an electric field around the terminal (such as an electric field generated by an electric appliance around the terminal) due to the surrounding electric field. The effect is that the terminal touch screen generates a conventional capacitor, which is unavoidable. The preset maximum sensing capacity value can be preset by the terminal system, and can be an empirical value obtained by measurement, for example, if only during floating operation If the user uses the left hand or the right hand, the preset maximum sensing capacity value may be the measured capacitance value of the touch screen when the user's finger just touches the touch screen; if the user touches the touch screen, the user is identified whether the user uses the left hand or the right hand. Then, the preset maximum sensing capacity value may be a contact area of the touch screen of the user or a sensing capacity corresponding to a certain contact strength to remove the interference. Of course, the S _min , S _max may need to be debugged in advance.

If the sensing capacitance value X is a set of sensing capacitance values, the relationship between each or some of the sensing capacitance values in the set and the preset interval M may be determined, and the sensing capacitance value included in the preset interval M in the set is determined.

In this way, when the terminal acquires at least one sensing capacitance falling within the interval M, it can be determined that the user is about to operate or is operating the touch screen, and thus it can be further determined where the region in which the sensing capacitance is generated is.

When the acquired sensing capacitance is less than the S _min , it can be considered that the user does not have a touch screen to operate the terminal. When the sensing capacitance is greater than the S _min and less than S _max , it can be considered that the finger that is to operate the touch screen and the user operates the touch screen has been close to the touch screen (ie, the floating operation) or has touched the touch screen, and the sensing value can be determined to be generated. The area to further determine whether the user is currently using the left-hand operation terminal or the right-hand operation terminal.

It should be understood that the user can use the finger to directly operate the touch screen, and the touch screen can be operated by using the pointing object, and the pointing object can be a pointing pen or the like provided in the terminal, which is not limited herein. Therefore, the method of the embodiment of the present invention may also be an operation for the user to operate the touch screen using the pointing object.

103. Determine, according to the area that generates the sensing capacitance value X, whether the user currently uses a left hand or a right hand.

Determining, by the terminal, whether the user currently uses the left or right hand according to the region that generates the sensing capacitance value X includes: when the region where the capacitance value M is generated is located on the left side of the touch screen of the terminal, determining The user is currently operating for the left hand. When the area where the capacitance value M is generated is located on the right side of the touch screen of the terminal, it is determined that the user is currently a right-hand operation.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 2, the terminal display unit, including the touch screen and the display panel, are divided into two parts of left and right symmetry, and the left part is considered to be the left side of the terminal display unit. On the side, the right half considers the right side of the terminal display unit. Any point or area (such as area A shown in Fig. 2) that falls on the right half of the terminal display unit is considered to be the area on the right side of the display unit. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when it is detected that the sensing capacitance value X is included in the preset interval M, and the area where the sensing capacitance value X is generated is A, it may be determined that the user currently uses the right-hand operation terminal.

In an optional implementation manner of the present invention, before the acquiring the sensing value X of the touch screen of the terminal, the method further includes:

Receive terminal activation command.

The terminal activation command may be an activation instruction sent by the user to the terminal operating system by clicking the lock screen key. Of course, it may be an activation command sent to the terminal operating system by clicking other buttons such as the power button and the home button, which is not limited herein.

In an optional implementation manner of the present invention, the method further includes:

The determining the layout of the application icon according to the result of determining whether the user currently uses the left hand or the right hand includes:

When it is determined that the user is currently using the right hand, the application icon is moved to the right side of the terminal display panel, or the application icon is preferentially moved to the right side of the terminal display panel. When it is determined that the user currently uses the left hand, the application icon is moved to the left side of the terminal display panel, or the application icon is preferentially moved to the left side of the terminal display panel. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when it is determined that the user currently uses the right hand, an application icon is displayed on the right side of the terminal display panel. Further, the application icon may be displayed in the production place determined in step 102. The area where the capacitance value X is sensed. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, all the applications displayed on the left side of the terminal touch screen are displayed on the right side of the terminal display panel. Of course, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are only an implementation manner provided by the embodiment of the present invention, but are not limited thereto.

The invention provides a method for identifying left and right hands, and acquires an inductance value X of a touch screen of the terminal. If the sensing capacitance value X is included in the preset interval M, determining an area in which the sensing capacitance value X is generated, and determining a user according to the area in which the sensing capacitance value X is generated. Whether you are currently using your left or right hand. In this way, the layout of the application icon can be adjusted according to the left and right hand information of the user that is determined, which can facilitate the one-hand operation of the user.

In addition, the method provided by the present invention can recognize whether the user uses the left hand or the right hand without requiring the user to set or perform the gesture knowledge, and the operation is simple.

Example 2:

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for identifying left and right hands. As shown in FIG. 5, the method includes the following steps:

201. The terminal receives a terminal activation instruction.

Specifically, the user may click the lock screen button to activate the terminal. Of course, other buttons such as a power button and a home button may be used, and are not limited herein.

202. The terminal acquires an induction capacity value X of the touch screen of the terminal.

The sensing capacitance value is the capacitance value generated by the touch screen when the user holds the terminal, the finger approaches the touch screen, but the touch screen does not touch the touch screen, or the capacitance value of the touch screen is touched (touched or pressed) by the finger. When the user's finger is close, but the touch screen has not been touched, the sensing value of the touch screen may be different due to the distance between the finger and the touch screen. For example, the closer the finger is to the touch screen, the larger the sensing value of the touch screen may be. When a finger touches the touch screen, the sensing capacitance of the touch screen may also differ depending on the area of the finger contact or the strength of the finger press.

203. The terminal determines whether the sensing capacity value X is within a preset interval M.

The preset interval M=(S _min , S _max ); the S _min is a preset minimum sensing capacitance value, and the S _max is a preset maximum sensing capacitance value. The preset minimum sensing capacitance. The value may be an inductive capacitance generated by the invalid noise signal to the touch screen; or may be a measured minimum value of the sensor that requires the finger to approach or touch the touch screen, for example, if the distance from the touch screen is required to be at least less than 2 mm. The left and right hands, then the preset minimum sensing capacitance value can also be the corresponding sensing capacity value when the measured finger is 2 mm away from the touch screen; or an empirical value. If it is required to touch the touch screen only when the user touches the touch screen, The right hand, then the preset minimum sensing capacity value may also be the measured capacitance value of the touch screen when the user's finger just touches the touch screen. The preset maximum sensing capacitance value may be preset by the terminal system, and may be measured. The empirical value, for example, if the user is only using the left or right hand during the floating operation, the preset maximum sensing capacity value can be measured. The touch value corresponding to the touch screen when the finger just touches the touch screen; if the user recognizes whether the user uses the left hand or the right hand when touching the touch screen, the preset maximum sensing capacity value may be a contact area of the user's finger touching the touch screen or a certain The contact capacitance corresponding to the intensity is used to remove the interference. Of course, the S _min and S _max may need to be debugged in advance.

If the sensing capacitance is within the preset interval M, proceed to step 204; if the sensing capacitance is not within the preset interval M, no subsequent process is performed.

204. The terminal determines an area that generates the sensing capacitance value X.

205. When the area where the sensing capacitance value X is generated is located on the left side of the touch screen of the terminal, the terminal determines that the user currently uses the left hand.

206. When the area where the sensing capacitance value X is generated is located on the right side of the touch screen of the terminal, the terminal determines that the user is currently using the right hand.

It should be understood that the user can use the finger to directly operate the touch screen, and the touch screen can be operated by using the pointing object, and the pointing object can be a pointing pen or the like provided in the terminal, which is not limited herein. Therefore, the method in the embodiment of the present invention may also be an operation for the user to operate the touch screen using the pointing object, and details are not described herein again.

The invention provides a method for identifying left and right hands, and acquires an inductance value X of a touch screen of the terminal. If the sensing capacitance value X is included in the preset interval M, determine an area in which the sensing capacitance value X is generated, and determine, according to the area in which the sensing capacitance value X is generated, whether the user is currently using the left hand or the right hand. In this way, the adjustment of the application icon can be performed according to the left and right hand information of the user that is determined, which can facilitate the one-hand operation of the user.

The range of the preset interval M is greater than a preset minimum sensing capacity value, and is less than or equal to a preset maximum sensing capacitance value. The preset minimum sensing capacitance value may be an inductive capacitance value generated by the invalid noise signal to the touch screen; or may be a measured minimum sensing capacitance value required for the finger to approach or touch the touch screen, for example, if the distance of the finger from the touch screen is required When the distance is at least less than 2 mm, the left and right hands can be recognized. The preset minimum inductance value can also be the corresponding sensing capacity when the measured finger is 2 mm away from the touch screen; or an empirical value. If it is required to recognize whether the user uses the left and right or the right hand only when the user touches the touch screen, the preset minimum sensing capacitance value may also be the sensing capacity corresponding to the touch screen when the measured user's finger just touches the touch screen. The invalid noise signal may be an electromagnetic wave generated due to an influence of an electric field around the terminal (eg, an electric field generated by an electric device around the terminal). Due to the influence of the surrounding electric field, the terminal touch screen will produce a conventional capacitor, which is inevitable. The preset maximum sensing capacity value may be preset by the terminal system, and may be an empirical value obtained by actual measurement. For example, if the user is only using the left hand or the right hand when the floating operation is performed, the preset maximum sensing capacitance value. It may be the measured capacitance value of the touch screen when the user's finger just touches the touch screen; if the user touches the touch screen to identify whether the user uses the left hand or the right hand, the preset maximum sensing capacitance value may be a certain touch of the user's finger on the touch screen. A contact area or an induced capacitance corresponding to a contact intensity to remove interference. Of course, the S _min , S _max may require pre-commissioning correction.

If the sensing capacitance value X is a set of sensing capacitance values, the relationship between each or some of the sensing capacitance values in the set and the preset interval M may be determined, and the sensing capacitance value included in the preset interval M in the set is determined. In this way, when the terminal acquires a sensing capacitance value falling within the interval M, it can be determined that the user is about to operate or is operating the touch screen, and thus it can be further determined where the region where the sensing capacitance value is generated is.

When the acquired sensing capacitance is less than the S _min , it can be considered that the user does not have a touch screen to operate the terminal. When the sensing capacitance is greater than the S _min and less than S _max , it can be considered that the finger to be operated and the user operating the touch screen has been close to the touch screen (ie, the floating operation) or has touched the touch screen, and the area where the sensing capacitance is generated should be determined. In order to further determine whether the user is currently operating the terminal with the left hand or the terminal with the right hand.

The determining unit 303 is configured to determine, according to the region that generates the sensing capacitance value X, whether the user is currently using the left hand or the right hand.

The determining unit 303 is specifically configured to: when the area where the value M is generated is located on the left side of the touch screen of the terminal, determine that the user is currently a left-hand operation; and when the area where the capacitance value M is generated is located The terminal touches the right side of the screen, and determines that the user is currently a right-handed operation.

The adjusting unit is specifically configured to: when the determining unit determines that the user currently uses the right hand, move the application icon to the right side of the terminal display panel; and when the determining unit determines that the user currently uses If it is the left hand, move the application icon to the left side of the terminal display panel.

It should be understood that the user can use the finger to directly operate the touch screen, and the touch screen can be operated by using the pointing object, and the pointing object can be a pointing pen or the like provided in the terminal, which is not limited herein. Therefore, the method of the embodiment of the present invention may also be an operation touch on the user using the pointing object. Touch screen recognition.

The processor 403 is configured to acquire the sensing value X of the touch screen 4022.

The processor 403 is configured to determine, when the sensing capacitance X is included in the preset interval M, an area where the sensing capacitance X is generated; the preset interval M=(S _min , S _max ); S _min is a preset minimum sensing capacity value, and the S _max is a preset maximum sensing capacitance value.

The preset minimum sensing capacitance value may be an inductive capacitance value generated by the invalid noise signal to the touch screen; or may be a measured minimum sensing capacitance value required for the finger to approach or touch the touch screen, for example, if the distance of the finger from the touch screen is required When the distance is at least less than 2 mm, the left and right hands can be recognized. The preset minimum inductance value can also be the corresponding sensing capacity when the measured finger is 2 mm away from the touch screen; or an empirical value. If it is required to recognize whether the user uses the left and right or the right hand only when the user touches the touch screen, the preset minimum sensing capacitance value may also be the sensing capacity corresponding to the touch screen when the measured user's finger just touches the touch screen. The preset maximum sensing capacity value may be preset by the terminal system, and may be an empirical value obtained by actual measurement. For example, if the user is only using the left hand or the right hand when the floating operation is performed, the preset maximum sensing capacitance value. It may be the measured capacitance value of the touch screen when the user's finger just touches the touch screen; if the user touches the touch screen to identify whether the user uses the left hand or the right hand, the preset maximum sensing capacitance value may be a certain touch of the user's finger on the touch screen. A contact area or an induced capacitance corresponding to a contact intensity to remove interference. Of course, the S _min , S _max may require pre-commissioning correction.

Therefore, when the terminal acquires a sensing capacitance value falling within the interval M, it means that the user is about to operate or is operating the touch screen, so it can be further determined where the area where the sensing capacitance value is generated is.

The processor 403 is configured to determine, according to the region that generates the sensing capacitance value X, whether the user is currently using a left hand or a right hand.
