The MSC 280 is also configured to interface with a BSC 275 that can be coupled to the base station 270 via a backhaul line. The backhaul line can be constructed in accordance with any of a number of well known interfaces including, for example, E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, Frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. It will be understood that the system as shown in Figure 2 can include multiple BSC2750.

Each BS 270 can serve one or more partitions (or regions), each of which is covered by a multi-directional antenna or an antenna directed to a particular direction radially away from the BS 270. Alternatively, each partition may be covered by two or more antennas for diversity reception. Each BS 270 can be configured to support multiple frequency allocations, and each frequency allocation has a particular frequency spectrum (eg, 1.25 MHz, 5 MHz, etc.).

The intersection of partitioning and frequency allocation can be referred to as a CDMA channel. BS 270 may also be referred to as a Base Transceiver Subsystem (BTS) or other equivalent terminology. In such a case, the term "base station" can be used to generally refer to a single BSC 275 and at least one BS 270. A base station can also be referred to as a "cell station." Alternatively, each partition of a particular BS 270 may be referred to as a plurality of cellular stations.

As shown in FIG. 2, a broadcast transmitter (BT) 295 transmits a broadcast signal to the mobile terminal 100 operating within the system. A broadcast receiving module 111 as shown in FIG. 1 is provided at the mobile terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT 295. In Figure 2, several Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites 300 are shown. The satellite 300 helps locate at least one of the plurality of mobile terminals 100.

In Figure 2, a plurality of satellites 300 are depicted, but it is understood that useful positioning information can be obtained using any number of satellites. The GPS module 115 as shown in Figure 1 is typically configured to cooperate with the satellite 300 to obtain desired positioning information. Instead of GPS tracking technology or in addition to GPS tracking technology, other techniques that can track the location of the mobile terminal can be used. Additionally, at least one GPS satellite 300 can selectively or additionally process satellite DMB transmissions.

As a typical operation of a wireless communication system, BS 270 receives reverse link signals from various mobile terminals 100. Mobile terminal 100 typically participates in calls, messaging, and other types of communications. Each reverse link signal received by a particular base station 270 is processed within a particular BS 270. The obtained data is forwarded to the relevant BSC 275. The BSC provides call resource allocation and coordinated mobility management functions including a soft handoff procedure between the BSs 270. The BSC 275 also routes the received data to the MSC 280, which provides additional routing services for interfacing with the PSTN 290. Similarly, PSTN 290 interfaces with MSC 280, which forms an interface with BSC 275, and BSC 275 controls BS 270 accordingly to transmit forward link signals to mobile terminal 100.

Based on the above-described mobile terminal hardware structure and communication system, various embodiments of the method of the present invention are proposed.

Embodiment 1

3 is a flowchart of a method for quickly starting an application according to an embodiment of the present invention. A method for quickly starting an application according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to FIG. 3, which is applied to a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal stores a correspondence table between different areas of the side edges and different positions where the application icons are placed. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes the following steps:

S100: Receive a touch gesture in which a touch point is located in a side edge region;

S200: When the received touch gesture is a preset quick start gesture, query, in the correspondence relationship table, a location of the application application icon corresponding to the side edge region where the touch gesture occurs;

S300. A program for starting an application icon placed at the acquired location.

The relationship between the area where the side edge is stored and the position where the application icon is placed in the relationship table may be one-to-one or one-to-many relationship, for example, one side edge area may correspond to only one area. The position where the application icon is placed (ie, the shaded area in FIG. 4) may also correspond to a plurality of positions where the application icons are placed. When the area of one side edge corresponds to a plurality of positions where the application icons are placed, when the quick start is performed, There are multiple application icons, and there are multiple applications launched at the same time.

When the received touch gesture is a preset quick-start gesture, the querying the location of the application icon corresponding to the side edge region where the touch gesture occurs in the correspondence relationship table further includes:

Obtaining the coordinates of the first touch point where the touch gesture occurs;

The area where the acquired coordinates are located is determined as the side edge area where the touch gesture occurs.

According to an example of the embodiment, the manner of determining whether the touch point of the touch gesture is in the side edge region is as follows.

Since the touch gesture is usually a gesture of clicking, sliding, and the like, each touch gesture is composed of one or more touch points, so the terminal can determine that the touch gesture is by determining the area where the touch point of the touch gesture falls. Occurs in a normal partition or a side edge area (that is, a special partition). In a specific implementation, the coordinates of the touch point of the touch gesture are acquired by the driving layer of the terminal, and it is determined which partition the coordinates of the touch point fall into. When the coordinates of the touch point fall into a special partition, it is determined that the touch gesture occurs in a special partition, and the touch gesture is reported by the input device corresponding to the special partition. When the coordinates of the touch point fall into the normal partition, the determination is performed. The touch gesture occurs in a normal partition, and a special effect is generated according to the touch gesture. Do regular processing.

After receiving the reported event in the framework layer (the reported event includes the input device and each parameter of the touch point, etc.), first, according to the naming of the input device, which region is identified, the driver layer (kernel) in the above step The recognition is in the special zone touch, the input device reported to the frame layer by the driver layer is input1, instead of being reported by input0, that is, the frame layer does not need to determine which partition the current touch point is in, nor does it need to judge the partition. The size and position, these judgment operations are completed on the driver layer, and the driver layer reports the parameters of the touch point to the frame layer in addition to the specific input device, such as pressing time, position coordinates, and pressure. and many more.

When the touch point of the touch gesture falls into the normal partition, the driving layer of the mobile terminal reports the touch point through the input device corresponding to the normal partition.

After receiving the reported event in the framework layer (the reported event includes the input device and the parameters of the touch point, etc.), firstly, according to the naming of the input device, which region is identified, the driver layer (kernel) identification in the above step In the normal partition touch, the input device reported to the framework layer on the driver layer is input0, instead of using input1 to report, that is, the framework layer does not need to determine which partition the current touch point is in, and does not need to determine the size of the partition. And the position, the judgment operation is completed on the driving layer, and the driving layer not only reports which input device is specifically, but also reports various parameters of the touch point to the frame layer, such as pressing time, position coordinates, pressure size, etc. Wait.

The touch gesture is conventionally processed, that is, the touch gesture is processed according to a conventional process in the related art. For example, after receiving the touch point reported by the input device corresponding to the normal partition, the frame layer of the terminal continues to report the touch point according to the normal process to execute the corresponding operation instruction.

Therefore, the present embodiment does not perform normal processing on the touch gesture reported by the special partition, but generates special effects according to the touch gesture, and also prevents misoperation.

The size of the preset side edge area may be a fixed value. When the side edge area includes multiple blocks, a corresponding input device may be disposed with each side edge area for adjusting the position and size of the side edge area. When the size of the side edge area is a variable, it can be implemented by the interface modified by the parameter reserved by the developer. As shown in FIG. 4, the developer sets the interface Set_zone (id, X0, Y0, which is left in the upper layer through the driver layer. X1, Y1) is set by the user. When id is 1 in Figure 4, it indicates the left edge area, the corresponding preset coordinates are (X0, Y0, X1, Y1), and when id is 2, it indicates the right edge area, corresponding to the preset coordinates. For (X0', Y0', X1', Y1'), it can be preset in the above interface function.

The common partition in Figure 4 is abbreviated as Area A, and the side edge area is simply referred to as Area C. The reporting process of touch events is as follows:

The driving layer receives the touch event through physical hardware such as a touch screen, and determines whether the touch operation occurs in the A area or the C area, and reports the event through the device file node of the A area or the C area. The Native layer reads events from device files in Areas A and C, and processes events in Areas A and C, such as coordinate calculations. The devices in the A and C areas are distinguished by the device ID, and finally the A area is distributed. And zone C events. The A zone event takes the original process, and processes the A zone event in the usual way, that is, through the multi-channel mechanism; the C zone event is distributed from the C zone dedicated channel registered in advance to the Native layer, by the Native port. Input, system port output to the C area event end system service, listen to the C area event through the listener (listener), and then report the external interface to each application through the C area event. The embodiment of the present invention can realize the free customization of the anti-missing area, that is, the edge area, by using the driver layer code of the mobile terminal. Therefore, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented in the driver layer instead of the firmware, which makes the software design of the device get rid of the software design. The constraints of touch-screen IC suppliers are more flexible and less costly.

Optionally, the number of the special partitions is two, which are respectively located on both sides of the touch area, and the remaining area of the touch area is a normal partition. Alternatively, the normal partition includes an A area and a bottom B area, wherein the A area is an operable area for detecting touch point coordinates, and the B area is a virtual key area for detecting a menu key, a Home key, a return key, etc., two The special partitions are respectively located at the edge of the touch area and are located on both sides of the A area. In addition, you can set the special partition to any other area that is easy to cause misoperation, or set only one special partition or set multiple edge areas.

After the partition setting is completed, two input devices (input) such as input device 0 (input0) and input device 1 (input1) can be registered by the input_register_device() instruction when the touch screen driver is initialized. An input device is allocated for each partition by the input_allocate_device() instruction, for example, the normal partition corresponds to the input device 0, and the edge region corresponds to the input device 1.

The specific method of implementing the partition can define the categories and implementation manners of the common partitions and edge regions by using the object-oriented method. After determining the edge regions, the coordinates of the touch points of different resolutions are converted into LCDs by the EventHub function. Coordinates, define single-channel functions (such as serverchannel and clientchannel, etc.). The function of this function is to pass the event to the event manager (TouchEventManager) through the channel after receiving the reported event, and listen to it through the listener. The event is transmitted to multiple response application modules simultaneously or one by one through multiple channels, or It is only passed to one of the application modules, application modules such as camera, gallery, etc., and different application modules generate corresponding operations. Certainly, the specific implementation of the foregoing steps may also be implemented in other manners, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

After receiving the touch operation reported from the input device corresponding to the normal partition, the system receives the reported event (the reported event includes the input device and the parameters of the touch point, etc.), and then identifies which one is based on the naming of the input device. region.

Among them, there are two ways to calculate the distance:

method one:

Method 2: Distance =|currentY–downY|.

After calculating the distance value, it is further determined whether the distance is greater than a preset threshold, and if so, it is determined that the contact has slipped. If necessary, it is further possible to compare the first contact and the second contact The ordinate determines the direction of the slip.

In one embodiment, the input device is a touch screen 2010 that includes a touch panel 901 and a touch controller 902. Further, the input device may also be a non-touch input device (eg, an infrared input device, etc.) or the like.

Touch controller 902 can be a single application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), which can include one or more processor subsystems, which can include one or more ARM processors or other processors with similar functions and capabilities.

The touch controller 902 is mainly used for receiving a touch signal generated by the touch panel 901, and processing the same to the processor 903 of the mobile terminal. Such processing is, for example, analog-to-digital conversion of a physical input signal, processing to obtain touch point coordinates, processing to obtain a touch duration, and the like.

The processor 903 receives the output of the touch controller 902, performs processing, and performs an action based on the output. The actions include, but are not limited to, moving an object such as a table or indicator, scrolling or panning, adjusting control settings, opening a file or document, viewing a menu, as a selection, executing an instruction, operating a peripheral device coupled to the host device Answering a phone call, making a call, terminating a phone call, changing volume or audio settings, storing information related to phone communications (eg, address, frequently used number, received call, missed call), logging in to a computer or computer network, allowing authorization An individual accesses a restricted area of a computer or computer network, records a user profile associated with a user preferences configuration of a computer desktop, allows access to network content, launches a particular program, encrypts or decodes a message, and the like.

The number of scans is M+N times.

For a multi-touch touch screen of M rows and N columns of electrode arrays (which can detect and resolve coordinates of multiple points, ie multi-touch), the touch controller 902 uses multi-contact mutual capacitance scanning to intersect the rows and columns.

In a specific implementation, the coordinates of the touch point of the touch operation are obtained through the touch screen, and it is determined which partition the coordinates of the touch point fall into. When the coordinates of the touch point fall into the special partition, it is determined that the touch operation occurs in the special partition, and the touch operation is reported by the input device corresponding to the special partition. When the coordinates of the touch point fall into the normal partition, the determination is performed. The touch operation takes place in a normal partition, and special effects are generated according to the touch operation, and the conventional processing is performed.
