The type of operation of the interface to process the operation.

Specifically, the protective cover of the embodiment is sleeved on the outside of the electronic device. Alternatively, the electronic device may be a mobile phone.

It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the front surface of the protective case has an opening exposing a structure such as a display screen, a camera, an earpiece, a home button, and the like, and the back surface of the protective case has an opening exposing a rear camera and a structure such as a flash lamp. Since the display screen is relatively large, the area on the front side of the protective case is small, and the rear camera and the flash are relatively small, so the area on the back side of the protective case is large.

The back surface of the protective case of the present embodiment is provided with a touch panel 11 and a control chip 12, and the touch panel 11 and the control chip 12 are connected. The touch panel 11 of the present embodiment includes, but is not limited to, a touch panel in the form of a flexible printed circuit (FPC) or a touch panel in the form of indium tin oxide (ITO).

For example, the current application scenario is as follows: the user holds the electronic device 200 with one hand to perform self-photographing: the left hand of the user holds the electronic device 200, and the current display interface is a self-timer interface. If the focal length of the current camera is not suitable, the focus adjustment is required, and the user can input the focus adjustment operation through the touch panel 11 on the back of the protective case 100 through the index finger and the middle finger of the left hand, that is, the index finger is from the third preset position to the third position. The direction moves, the middle finger moves from the fourth preset position to the fourth direction, and the third direction is opposite to the fourth direction. After receiving the focus adjustment operation, the touch panel 11 obtains an electrical signal corresponding to the focus operation; after detecting the electrical signal, the control chip 12 determines the type of operation according to the electrical signal: two fingers slide in opposite directions at the same time. .

When the user needs to wake up the screen, since the index finger of the left hand is on the back of the electronic device 200, the user uses the index finger of the left hand to double-click the current display interface through the touch panel 11 on the surface of the back of the protective case 100 or Said to be the screen wake-up operation.

After acquiring the electrical signal, the control chip 12 sends the electrical signal to the processor of the electronic device 200. After receiving the electrical signal, the processor of the electronic device 200 determines the type of operation of the user on the current display interface according to the electrical signal. For example, the double-click operation; the processor of the electronic device 200 processes the double-click operation after determining the type of operation of the user on the current display interface, and the electronic device 200 processes the double-click operation after the processor of the electronic device 200 processes the double-click operation. The display shows the interface after being woken up.
