FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a touch operation response method 1 based on a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The method of this embodiment is mainly implemented by a wearable device, including but not limited to a smart watch, a smart bracelet, and the like.

It should be noted that the wearable device is only an example, and other existing or future wearable devices, such as those applicable to the present invention, are also included in the scope of the present invention and are incorporated herein by reference. .

The touch operation includes, but is not limited to, clicking, maintaining contact with the original position for a certain period of time, Maintain mobile contact, any predefined other operations, or any combination thereof for a certain period of time.

In step S101, a first touch input signal from a touch operation on a first touch sensing area located outside the display screen of the wearable device is acquired.

The first touch sensing area includes, but is not limited to, an area formed by one of a capacitive inductive touch device, a resistive touch device, a piezoelectric touch device, an infrared touch device, a surface acoustic wave touch device, and the like. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above touch input device is only an example, and other existing or future touch input devices, such as those applicable to the present invention, are also included in the scope of the present invention, and are hereby incorporated by reference. Included here.

The first touch sensing area is located outside the display screen of the wearable device. For a wearable device such as a smart watch, the first touch sensing area may be located on one side of the smart watch to enhance the user. Operational convenience. For example, the first touch sensing area is located on the side of the casing of the smart watch with a length of arc strip, and the display screen of the smart watch is located on the front side of the smart watch.

The first touch input signal may be an electrical signal generated by performing a touch operation on the first touch sensing area, and the electrical signal may include, but is not limited to, an action speed, a duration of action, a working distance of the touch operation, Information such as the length of the last touch operation, the direction of action, and the strength of the action. In particular, for the touch operation that is completed for the first time in the first touch sensing area, the interval time from the last touch operation may be defaulted to infinity.

Optionally, the duration of action may further include a duration of motion and a duration of motion, for example, for a touch operation that maintains a movable contact for a certain period of time after maintaining the contact of the home position for a certain period of time, the duration of the stationary period refers to maintaining the contact of the home position. The duration of the movement, while the duration of the movement refers to the length of the touch operation that maintains the mobile contact.

The action duration, the action speed, the action distance, the interval duration of the last touch operation, the action direction, and the like are mainly for a single touch operation. The single touch operation described herein can be viewed as one operation from the time of contacting the first touch sensing area to the time of leaving the first touch sensing area.

Taking a single-click touch operation as an example, the duration of the action refers to the length of time from the start of clicking the first touch sensing area to the time of leaving the first touch sensing area; and the click operation is generally not touched. The sensing area generates a working distance, so the working distance is usually 0, so that the acting speed on the working distance is also 0; the time interval from the last touch operation refers to the single click touch operation distance last time. The length of the touch operation.

The above step S101 can be implemented by transmitting the first touch input signal to a corresponding processor of the wearable device through a corresponding communication interface of the wearable device.

The duration of action, the distance of action, and the interval between the last touch operations are determined, and the results of 0, 0.2, 0, and 5 minutes are respectively obtained, and then the two are compared to obtain a comparison result: the action speed is equal to the corresponding threshold, The action duration is less than the corresponding threshold, the action distance is equal to the corresponding threshold, and the interval duration from the last touch operation is greater than the corresponding threshold, and the touch event corresponding to the first touch input signal is determined to be a click.

For example, the threshold value is 0, 0.8 seconds, 0, and 0.6 seconds, respectively, and the action speed, the duration of the action, the working distance, and the interval time of the last touch operation are determined by the first touch input signal. , respectively, the results of 0, 3 seconds, 0, 5 minutes are obtained, and then the two are compared to obtain a comparison result: the action speed is equal to the corresponding threshold, the action duration is greater than the corresponding threshold, the action distance is equal to the corresponding threshold, and the distance is last If the interval duration of the touch operation is greater than the corresponding threshold, it is determined that the touch event corresponding to the first touch input signal is a long press.

Optionally, the predetermined threshold is set by a statistic of a working speed, a duration of action, a working distance, and a distance of a last touch operation corresponding to a historical touch operation of the same user or different users, or may be defined by a user.

Optionally, the predetermined threshold corresponding to the same information may include a predetermined threshold of multiple grades, for example, a predetermined threshold corresponding to the action speed, including a predetermined threshold of three grades, a predetermined threshold of the first grade is 0, and the second grade is predetermined. The threshold is m (greater than 0) and the predetermined threshold for the third level is n (greater than n).

For example, by determining the action speed, the duration of action, the distance of the action, and the length of the interval of the last touch operation of the first touch input signal and comparing with the corresponding threshold, a comparison result is obtained: the action speed is greater than m and less than n. The action duration is greater than the corresponding threshold, the action distance is greater than the corresponding threshold, and the interval duration from the last touch operation is greater than the corresponding threshold, and the touch event corresponding to the first touch input signal is determined to be a slow slip.
