The following describes the touch response method of the embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to the flow chart of the touch response method shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a touch response method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the case of the sensing area, steps 201 to 202 are included:

Step 201: The electronic device receives a user's touch input to the first sensing area.

Exemplarily, the electronic device has N sensing areas, and N is a positive integer. The aforementioned first sensing area includes at least one of the N sensing areas. The above-mentioned first sensing area may be located on the housing of the electronic device, or may be located on the side screen of the electronic device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Exemplarily, the aforementioned touch input may include: the user's click input in the sensing area, or the user's sliding input in the sensing area, or the user's specific gesture input, or the user's other feasible input, which may be specifically based on The actual use requirements are determined, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

Exemplarily, the click input in the present disclosure may be a single click input, a double click input, or any number of click input, etc.; the above click input may also be a long press input or a short press input. The sliding input in the present disclosure may be a sliding input in any direction, such as sliding up, sliding down, sliding left, or sliding right, etc., and the sliding track of the sliding input may be a straight line or a curve.

Step 202: In response to the aforementioned touch input, the electronic device executes the function corresponding to the target virtual key on the aforementioned first sensing area according to the first parameter.

Exemplarily, the foregoing first parameter is used to indicate the working mode or running application of the foregoing electronic device.

Exemplarily, the foregoing working modes may include multiple working modes such as a game mode, a sleep mode, an e-book mode, and an incoming call mode, which are not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Exemplarily, the function corresponding to the target virtual button is associated with the first parameter, that is, the function corresponding to the target virtual button is determined based on the working mode of the electronic device or the running application. It can be understood that the functions corresponding to the above-mentioned target virtual keys may be different or the same in different working modes or in different application running scenarios, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Exemplarily, the above-mentioned first parameter is used to set at least one of the following information of the target virtual key: the function of the target virtual key, the number of the target virtual key, and the size of the sensing area corresponding to the target virtual key.

Exemplarily, in the case where a target virtual key is originally set in the first sensing area, the electronic device may, based on the first parameter, determine at least one of the number of virtual keys, the function of the virtual key, and the size of the sensing area for the target virtual key. Perform reconfiguration; or, in the case where no virtual keys are set in the first sensing area, the electronic device may configure at least one of the following key information of the virtual keys in the target area based on the first parameter: the number of virtual keys, Virtual button function and sensing area size.

Optionally, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, users have different requirements for the same virtual key in different working modes, so that the electronic device can determine the function of the target virtual key according to the usage requirements corresponding to the working mode.

Example 1: Taking the working mode of the electronic device as the sleep mode as an example, the electronic device determines to add a return virtual button for quickly exiting the sleep mode in the left side frame of the electronic device based on the sleep mode. In this way, in the sleep mode, the user can quickly exit the sleep mode after touching the return virtual button set on the left side frame of the electronic device.

Example 2: Taking the working mode of the electronic device as the incoming call mode as an example. Based on the incoming call pattern, the electronic device determines to change the functions of the "power" virtual button and the "volume up" virtual button set in the right frame of the electronic device, that is, the function of the "power" virtual button is changed to connect the call, "volume" Added the function of the virtual button to control the mute of the electronic device. In this way, in the incoming call mode, when the user touches the "power" virtual button, the phone can be connected, and when the user touches the "volume up" virtual button, the electronic device can be controlled to mute.

At the same time, in the incoming call mode, the electronic device will also add a virtual "reject" button for rejecting calls, a virtual button for sending text messages, and a virtual "blacklist" virtual button for adding blacklists to the left frame. button.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, step 202 further includes step A:

Step A: When the electronic device displays the first interface of the target application, the electronic device executes the operation corresponding to the target virtual key on the first sensing area according to the first parameter.

Wherein, the above-mentioned first parameter is used to indicate the target application.

Example 3: Take the target application as a war shooting mission game. When the electronic device displays the game interface of the war shooting mission game, because the user has less demand for conventional buttons such as the volume button and the power button, it is necessary for some high-frequency operations in the game, for example, for shooting in a war shooting mission game. , Aiming, jumping, lying down and other operations are in great demand. Therefore, two virtual buttons can be arranged in the left side frame of the electronic device, which are used for jumping and lying down respectively. At the same time, two virtual buttons are set in the right side frame of the electronic device, which are respectively used for shooting and aiming of game characters.

In this way, the electronic device can flexibly adjust the distribution of virtual keys of the electronic device according to different application programs, which can not only meet the needs of actual use, but also can achieve the purpose of saving power by disabling some virtual keys.

In the touch response method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the electronic device has multiple sensing areas, since the function of the virtual button in the sensing area is related to the working mode or running application of the electronic device, After the electronic device receives the user's touch input to the sensing area, it can execute the function of the corresponding virtual key according to the working mode of the electronic device or the running application. In this way, not only the use efficiency of the virtual keys is improved, but also the resources of the virtual keys are maximized.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, step B may be included before the above step 201:

Step B: The electronic device adjusts the working state of the second sensing area according to the first parameter.

Exemplarily, the second sensing area includes at least one of the N sensing areas provided by the electronic device, that is, the first sensing area may be one or more of the N sensing areas; the second sensing The working state of the area includes: disabled state or enabled state.

Exemplarily, the sensing area in the activated state in the adjusted second sensing area includes: the first sensing area. That is, after the electronic device adjusts the working state of the second sensing area, the target virtual key is set in the sensing area in the activated state in the second sensing area.

In a possible example, the above-mentioned second sensing region is a sensing region whose working state needs to be changed among the above-mentioned N sensing regions, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Exemplarily, one or more sensing areas in the disabled state can be set between two virtual keys, that is, the sensing areas in the disabled state can be used as the isolation interval between the virtual keys. Or, the two virtual buttons can be directly connected, that is, there is no need to use a disabled sensing area to isolate the two virtual buttons.

Exemplarily, each virtual key corresponds to a unique key value. In this way, when the virtual key is triggered, the system reports the key value corresponding to the virtual key to the CPU of the mobile terminal.

For example, take the side frame of an electronic device as an example. As shown in (a) of FIG. 4, the side frame of the electronic device includes 11 sensing areas (ie, sensing areas 1 to 11 in FIG. 4). As shown in Figure 4(b), the sensing area 1, the sensing area 2 and the sensing area 3 form the virtual button 1, that is, the sensing area 1, the sensing area 2 and the sensing area 3 are enabled, the sensing area 4, the sensing area 5 and the sensing area are disabled. Sensing area 6 composes virtual button 2, namely enabling sensing area 5 and sensing area 6, disabling sensing area 7, sensing area 8, sensing area 9 and sensing area 10 form virtual button 3, ie enabling sensing area 8, sensing area 9 and sensing Area 10, disable sensing area 11.

For example, taking the right frame of the electronic device as an example, combined with the sensing area division diagram shown in FIG. 4, a conventional setting mode of the virtual buttons on the left frame of the electronic device is shown in (a) of FIG. 5, A general setting mode of the virtual buttons on the right side frame of the electronic device is shown in (b) of FIG. 5. Specifically, as shown in (a) of FIG. 5, the 11 sensing areas in the left frame are all disabled, that is, no virtual buttons are set on the left frame. As shown in Figure 5(b), the sensing area 1, sensing area 4, sensing area 7 to sensing area 11 in the right frame are disabled, sensing area 2 and sensing area 3 form the power virtual button, sensing area 5 is " The volume increase" virtual button, the sensing area 6 is the "volume down" virtual button, that is, the sensing area 2, the sensing area 3, the sensing area 5, and the sensing area 6 in the right frame are activated.

In this way, the electronic device divides the target area into a plurality of sensing areas, so that the electronic device can configure or reconfigure the size, number, and function of virtual keys by changing the working state of each sensing area.

In another possible example, in the case where the aforementioned second sensing area includes one sensing area, the aforementioned second sensing area is part or all of the one sensing area.

Exemplarily, the above-mentioned second sensing area may be an area in the one sensing area whose working state needs to be changed, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Exemplarily, the electronic device determines the area position of each virtual button that needs to be configured in the target area, and determines the working state of each area in the sensing area according to the area position of each virtual button.

For example, take the side frame of an electronic device as an example. As shown in (a) in Figure 6, the entire area of the side frame is the sensing area. As shown in Figure 6(b), if the electronic device determines that a virtual button needs to be configured in the side frame, and the virtual button is located in the sub-area 2 of the sensing area, the electronic device enables the sub-area 2 and disables Subarea 1 and Subarea 3.

Optionally, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, users have different requirements for virtual buttons in different working modes, so that the electronic device can set the target virtual buttons according to the usage requirements corresponding to the working modes.

Take the above example 1 as an example, for example, in conjunction with Figure 5 (a), as shown in Figure 7 (a), the electronic device adds a virtual button "Exit Sleep Mode" in the left frame, that is, activates the sensing area 1. Sensing zone 2 and sensing zone 3, sensing zone 4 to sensing zone 11 are still disabled. Combined with Figure 5 (b), as shown in Figure 7 (b), the electronic device increases the size of the sensing area of the "power" virtual button in the right frame, that is, the sensing area 1, the sensing area 2 and the sensing area 3 are enabled , Remove the "volume up" virtual button and the "volume down" virtual button, that is, the sensing area 5 and the sensing area 6 are disabled, and the remaining

sensing areas

4, 7 to 11 are still disabled.

In this example, since the user has few actions on the phone in the sleep mode, the most likely operation that the user (after the rest time is over) is to wake up the phone or exit the sleep mode. On the other hand, enabling virtual buttons will also bring some Power consumption. Therefore, when the electronic device detects that the user enters the sleep mode, the user-friendly virtual key can be set to exit the sleep mode and power function, which has improved the efficiency of the virtual key, and at the same time, disables other virtual keys to save power .

Taking the above example 2 as an example, for example, in conjunction with Figure 5 (a), as shown in Figure 8 (a), the electronic device adds a "reject" virtual button in the left frame, that is, to enable the sensing area 2 and Sensing area 3, add the virtual button of "SMS", that is to start the sensing area 5. Add the virtual button of "blacklist", that is to start the sensing area 6, the sensing area 7 to the sensing area 11 are still disabled. Combined with Figure 5 (b), as shown in Figure 8 (b), the sensing area 2 and sensing area 3 are still activated, but the function of the "power" virtual button is changed to the "answer" function for answering calls , The sensing area 5 is still activated, but the function of the "volume up" virtual button is changed to the "mute" function for mute, and the "volume down" virtual button is removed, that is, the remaining sensing areas 6 to 11 are still disabled.

In this example, when the electronic device detects an incoming call, the user’s easy-to-access virtual buttons can be set to answer, reject, send quick short messages, mute, and add to the blacklist, etc., so that the user can directly handle the incoming call through these virtual buttons. There is no need to swipe the screen to handle incoming calls, making it faster to use.

Optionally, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, users have different requirements for virtual buttons in different application running scenarios, so that the electronic device can set the target virtual buttons according to the usage requirements corresponding to the application.

Take the above example 3 as an example, take the target application as a war shooting mission game as an example, combined with Figure 5 (a), as shown in Figure 9 (a), the electronic device is in the left frame Add "jump" virtual buttons, which enable sensing area 1, sensing area 2, and sensing area 3. At the same time, add "lie down" virtual buttons to enable sensing area 9, sensing area 10 and sensing area 11, sensing area 4 to sensing Zone 8 is still disabled. In conjunction with (b) in Figure 5, as shown in (b) in Figure 9, the electronic device reconfigures the virtual buttons in the right frame. Specifically, the "shooting" virtual button is set in the right frame to activate the induction Area 1, sensing area 2 and sensing area 3, and setting the "aim" virtual button, that is, starting sensing area 9, sensing area 10 and sensing area 11, and disabling sensing area 4 to sensing area 8.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one first virtual button is provided in the target area of the electronic device. Based on this, step C may be included before the above step 201:

Step C: The electronic device sets a target virtual key in the above-mentioned target area according to the first parameter and the second parameter.

Wherein, the target area includes a first sensing area, and the second parameter is used to indicate at least one of the following information of the first virtual key: the number of virtual keys, the function of the virtual key, and the area size of the virtual key corresponding to the sensing area.

Exemplarily, the above-mentioned target area may be the side frame area of the housing of the electronic device, may also be the rear housing area of the housing of the electronic device, or may be the side screen of the display screen, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure. .

Example 4: The aforementioned target area may be a default area on the side frame of the electronic device where virtual buttons can be set, for example, the virtual buttons in the right frame of the electronic device are reconfigured by default.

Example 5: The above-mentioned target area may be a user-selected area on the side frame of the electronic device where virtual buttons can be set. The specific area may be set according to user needs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the user uses a specific gesture The right frame of the electronic device is selected, which triggers the electronic device to reconfigure the virtual buttons in the right frame.

Example 6: The above-mentioned target area can be the area determined by the electronic device according to the working mode. For example, when the current working mode is the sleep mode, since the right border of the electronic device is provided with a power virtual button, the electronic device can add more functions to the left border. The virtual button for quickly exiting the sleep mode, that is, the target area corresponding to the sleep mode may be the left frame.

Exemplarily, the electronic device sets a target virtual button in the target area according to the first parameter, the second parameter and the sensing area information of the target area. In an example, the above-mentioned sensing area information is used to indicate at least one of the following information: the position of the sensing area, the number of the sensing area, and the working status of the sensing area.

Example 7: Take the e-book mode as the working mode of the electronic device as an example. Assuming that the electronic device has been provided with two virtual buttons, the "volume up" virtual button and the "volume down" virtual button, when the electronic device is switched to the e-book mode, the electronic device can set the existing "volume up" virtual button and The function of the "Volume Down" virtual button has been changed so that the "Volume Up" virtual button is changed to a "Previous Page" virtual button for page up, and the "Volume Down" virtual button is changed to a "Volume Down" virtual button for page down. Next page "virtual button.

For example, take the working mode of the electronic device as the e-book mode as an example. With reference to Fig. 5, (a) in Fig. 10 is the same as (a) in Fig. 5. As shown in Figure 10(b), the sensing area 5 is still activated, but the function of the "volume up" virtual button is changed to the "previous page" function for page up, and the sensing area 6 is still activated, but The function of the "Volume Down" virtual button has been changed to the "Next Page" function for page down.

In this example, because the user's high-frequency operations in the e-book mode are page turning, etc. Therefore, after the electronic device detects that the user enters the e-book mode, the virtual key can be set to the above-mentioned function, which is convenient for the user to quickly operate the e-book. And because in the normal mode, when the user is reading an e-book, the user is holding the phone vertically, which makes it easy for the user to touch the upper middle virtual area on the side, so the upper middle virtual button on the side is set to the upper middle in the e-book mode. Frequency operation, improve the efficiency of the use of virtual keys.

Example 8: Take the “game” APP as an example that the currently running application of the electronic device is. Assuming that the conventional virtual buttons of an electronic device include two virtual buttons, the "volume up" virtual button and the "volume down" virtual button. When the electronic device runs the "game" APP, the function of the "volume up" virtual button can be changed to control The game character jumps and appropriately increases the sensing area of the "volume up" virtual button. At the same time, the function of the "volume down" virtual button can be changed to shooting, and the sensing area of the "volume down" virtual button is appropriately increased.

In this way, the user can flexibly adjust the number of virtual keys, functions, and size of the sensing area in the target area according to the working mode or running applications, so as to improve the efficiency of the use of virtual keys and maximize the use of virtual key resources. Avoid the problem of inefficient use of virtual keys.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, before step 201, the method further includes step D1 and step D2:

Step D1: The electronic device determines the target sensing area of the target virtual key according to the historical touch information of the user touching the target virtual key and the aforementioned first parameter.

The target sensing area includes the first sensing area.

Step D2: The electronic device adjusts the sensing area of the target virtual key to the target sensing area.

Exemplarily, the area information of the target sensing area includes the working state of the target sensing area and the area position of the target sensing area.

Exemplarily, the aforementioned historical touch information of the user touching the target virtual key includes: the touch frequency (ie frequency of use) of the user touching the target virtual key, the touch area of the user touching the target virtual key, and so on.
