Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of this application.

The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Embodiment 1

Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a slide bar composed of V-shaped arrow touch keys preferred in the embodiment of the present application.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a slide bar composed of square touch buttons preferred in the embodiment of the present application.

Sliders composed of touch buttons are increasingly used on controllers 1 in the control field, such as the control of smart lamps, smart bathroom heaters and other equipment; a touch slider 11 is usually provided on the controller 1, which can be used to For touch control of a parameter.

As shown in FIG. 1-2 , the touch slider 11 may be a slider composed of V-shaped arrow touch buttons 111 shown in FIG. 1 , or a slider composed of square touch buttons 111 shown in FIG. 2 . The touch slider 11 is composed of touch buttons 111 one by one. Typically, the size of a single touch key 111 does not exceed the width of an adult's finger.

When the user wants to adjust the parameters, he can slide on the touch slider 11 from left to right, or slide on the touch slider 11 from right to left; for example, when the user wants to increase the brightness of the lamp, he can slide from left to right. Slide on the touch slider 11; when the user wants to lower the brightness of the lamp, he can slide on the touch slider 11 from right to left.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a preferred touch control method of the controller according to the embodiment of the present application.

As shown in Figure 3, the flow of the touch control method of controller 1 is as follows:

S31. Touch the slider 11 to receive the user's sliding input information;

Specifically, the touch slider 11 senses the user's sliding input and sends the sliding input information to the processor 12 in the controller 1 .

S33. The processor 12 determines whether the user is sliding with one finger;

Specifically, since the touch slider 11 is composed of multiple touch buttons 111, the processor 12 can determine whether only one touch button 111 is touched and slid in the same period according to the received sliding input information. If yes, it means that one finger is sliding, and step S35 is entered; FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the user's finger sliding on the touch slider 1 . If not, it means that multiple fingers are sliding, and step S37 is entered; FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the user's multiple fingers sliding on the touch slider.

S35. The processor 12 generates a first parameter adjustment command;

Specifically, when the processor 12 determines that a finger is sliding, it generates a first parameter adjustment command and sends it to the communication module 13 . For example, when controller 1 is used to control a lamp, one finger is sliding, which represents the adjustment of the brightness of the light source. If the user slides from left to right, it means increasing the brightness; if the user slides from right to left, It means turning down the brightness.

S37. The processor 12 generates a second parameter adjustment command;

Specifically, when the processor 12 determines that multiple fingers are sliding, it generates a second parameter adjustment command and sends it to the communication module 13 . For example, when controller 1 is used to control a lamp, multiple fingers are sliding, which represents the adjustment of the color temperature of the light source. If the user slides from left to right, it means increasing the color temperature; if the user slides from right to left, It means lowering the color temperature.

S39. The communication module 13 sends the adjustment command;

Specifically, after receiving the parameter adjustment command, the communication module 13 sends the parameter adjustment command to the corresponding controlled device. For example, when the controller 1 is used to control a lamp, the communication module 13 will send the parameter adjustment command to the corresponding lamp. Among them, the communication module can be a wired communication module or a wireless communication module, such as wifi, Bluetooth, etc.

As shown in FIG. 6 , the controller 1 includes a touch slider 11 , a processor 12 , and a communication module 13 . The processor 12 is electrically connected to the touch slider 11 and the communication module 13 respectively. The touch slider 11 includes a plurality of continuous touch buttons 111 .

Among them, the touch slider 11 is configured to receive the user's sliding input information; the user's sliding input information includes whether the user slides one finger on the touch slider 11 or multiple fingers slides on the touch slider 11, and whether the user is Swipe left to right, right to left, etc. The touch slider 11 sends the received user's sliding input information to the processor 12 .

The processor 12 is configured to generate a corresponding parameter adjustment command according to the user's sliding input information. When the user's sliding input information is a sliding of one finger, it represents an adjustment to the first parameter. When the user's sliding input information is a sliding of multiple fingers, it represents an adjustment of the second parameter. If controller 1 controls a lamp, the user slides one finger from left to right to increase the brightness of the lamp, and slides from right to left to decrease the brightness of the lamp; the user slides multiple fingers from left to right. , means to increase the color temperature of the lamp, sliding from right to left means to decrease the color temperature of the lamp. Processor, generates corresponding After the parameter adjustment command is sent to the communication module 13.

The communication module 13 is configured to send the adjustment command. After receiving the parameter adjustment command, the communication module 13 sends the parameter adjustment command to the corresponding controlled device. For example, when the controller 1 is used to control a lamp, the communication module 13 will send the parameter adjustment command to the corresponding lamp. Among them, the communication module can be a wired communication module or a wireless communication module, such as wifi, Bluetooth, etc.

The touch control method and controller in this application, when using one touch slider, can realize sliding adjustment of two parameters by identifying which fingers of the user are sliding on the touch slider, and the operation is simple ,convenient. It reduces the cost of adding a touch slider to the controller and improves user perception.
