Technical Field

The present application belongs to the field of terminal technology, and in particular relates to a touch operation method and an electronic device.

Background technique

With the development of electronic devices such as smart phones, the screen size of electronic devices is getting larger and larger. Users can interact with electronic devices by touching the screen. Large-size screens can bring users a wider control area and more comfortable visual enjoyment, improving user experience.

However, large-size screens also bring some operational inconveniences to users. For example, when a user holds an electronic device in one hand, due to the large screen size of the electronic device, the finger is usually unable to control all areas of the screen, thereby affecting the user's control experience.

Therefore, how to improve the control experience when holding an electronic device with one hand is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.

Summary of the invention

The present application provides a touch operation method and an electronic device, which can solve the problem that all areas of the screen cannot be controlled when holding the electronic device with one hand.

In a first aspect, the present application provides a touch operation method, which is applied to an electronic device, wherein the electronic device includes at least one pressure-sensitive button, and the at least one pressure-sensitive button is used to receive a touch operation input by a user. The method includes: the electronic device displays a first interface, wherein the first interface includes at least one controllable item; in response to a user's one-handed mode trigger operation, the electronic device enters a one-handed operation mode; when the electronic device is in the one-handed operation mode, in response to a first touch operation input by the user via the pressure-sensitive button, at least one controllable item in a target control area in the first interface is sequentially in a selectable state; when a target controllable item among the at least one controllable item is in a selectable state, in response to a second touch operation input by the user via the pressure-sensitive button, the target controllable item in the selectable state is selected, and a function corresponding to the target controllable item in the selectable state is triggered.

In this way, the user can input different touch operations on the pressure-sensitive buttons that can be touched by one hand to control the content of any area in the user interface. In this way, even when holding the electronic device with one hand, the pressure-sensitive buttons can be used to control each area on the screen, thereby improving the user's touch experience when holding the electronic device with one hand.

In one implementable manner, in response to a first touch operation input by a user via the pressure-sensitive button, before at least one controllable item in the target control area in the first interface is sequentially in a selectable state, it also includes: determining the target control area in the first interface based on an eye movement recognition algorithm or an angle recognition algorithm; displaying a second interface based on the target control area; displaying the target control area in the second interface using a first display mode, and displaying the area other than the target control area in the second interface using a second display mode, and the first display mode and the second display mode are different.

In this way, based on the eye movement recognition algorithm or the angle recognition algorithm, the selection area can be narrowed down, thereby quickly locating the target controllable item.

In one implementable manner, based on the eye movement recognition algorithm, the target control area is determined in the first interface, including: when the electronic device is in a one-handed operation mode, collecting a user facial image; processing the user facial image to obtain the user's eye movement data; and based on the eye movement data, determining the target control area in the first interface.

In this way, when the user gazes at the target controllable item, the user's facial image can be collected, and eye movement recognition processing can be performed on the user's facial image to determine the user's gaze area, that is, the target control area.

In one implementable manner, based on the angle recognition algorithm, the target control area is determined in the first interface, including: when the electronic device is in a one-handed operation mode, obtaining a first angle of the electronic device; when the angle of the electronic device changes from the first angle to a second angle, and the electronic device maintains the second angle for a period longer than a second preset period, determining the tilt angle of the electronic device based on the first angle and the second angle; based on the tilt angle of the electronic device, determining the target control area in the first interface.

When a user holds an electronic device with one hand, the tilt angle of the electronic device can reflect the screen range that the user expects to manipulate. Therefore, the present application can use an angle recognition algorithm to recognize the tilt angle of the electronic device when the user holds the electronic device, and then determine the target manipulation area that the user expects to manipulate based on the tilt angle of the electronic device.

In one implementable method, based on the tilt angle, the target control area is determined in the first interface, including: obtaining a mapping relationship between multiple preset angles and each display area of the electronic device; based on the mapping relationship, determining the target control area corresponding to the tilt angle in the first interface.

In this way, by inputting different touch operation types to the pressure-sensitive buttons, the cursor can be controlled to move in two dimensions, the X-axis and the Y-axis, so that a controllable item at any position on the user interface can be selected by the cursor.

In an implementable manner, the first sub-touch operation includes a sliding operation, the second sub-touch operation includes a hands-on pressing operation, and the second touch operation includes a hands-off operation.

In this way, by applying different pressures to the pressure-sensitive buttons, the cursor can be controlled to move freely in two directions of a coordinate axis. In this way, even when holding the electronic device with one hand, every area on the screen can be controlled, improving the user's touch experience when holding the electronic device with one hand.

In one implementable manner, based on the pressure value, the target moving direction of the cursor along the second coordinate axis in the first interface is determined, including: when the pressure value gradually increases, determining the target moving direction to be the first direction of the second coordinate axis; when the pressure value gradually decreases, determining the target moving direction to be the second direction of the second coordinate axis; the first direction and the second direction are two opposite directions.

In this way, the optimal starting position of the cursor is determined based on the left and right hands of the user holding the electronic device, so that the cursor is focused from the optimal starting position and the target controllable item can be selected as quickly as possible.

In this way, the one-handed mode can be triggered in a variety of ways.

In an implementable manner, a display style of the target controllable item when it is in a selectable state is different from a display style of other controllable items in the first interface except the target controllable item.

In this way, the user can determine the controllable items that are currently in a selectable state based on the display styles of the controllable items in the user interface.

In an implementable manner, the display styles include a highlight display style, a suspended display style, a dynamic display style, an enlarged display style, and a reduced display style.

Detailed ways

With the development of electronic devices such as smart phones, the screen size of electronic devices is getting larger and larger. Large screens can provide users with a wider control area and more comfortable visual enjoyment, improving user experience. However, large screens also bring some operational inconveniences to users. For example, when a user holds an electronic device with one hand, due to the large screen size of the electronic device, the fingers usually cannot control all areas of the screen, thus affecting the user's control experience.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1 , when a user holds the electronic device 100 in one hand, the finger can touch the display area 3 well, but it is difficult for the finger to touch the display area 1 , the display area 2 , and the display area 4 .

To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a touch operation method, which is applied to an electronic device with a pressure-sensitive button. After entering the one-handed operation mode, if the method detects a first touch operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive button, the controllable items in the user interface of the electronic device are controlled to be in a selectable state in sequence; if the target controllable item is in a selectable state, in response to detecting a second touch operation on the pressure-sensitive button, the target controllable item is selected, and the function corresponding to the target controllable item is triggered. In this way, the user can input different touch operations on the pressure-sensitive buttons that can be touched by one hand to realize the control of the content of any area in the user interface, thereby improving the user's control experience when holding the electronic device with one hand.

The modem processor may include a modulator and a demodulator. Among them, the modulator is used to modulate the low-frequency baseband signal to be sent into a medium-high frequency signal. The demodulator is used to demodulate the received electromagnetic wave signal into a low-frequency baseband signal. The demodulator then transmits the demodulated low-frequency baseband signal to the baseband processor for processing. After the low-frequency baseband signal is processed by the baseband processor, it is passed to the application processor. The application processor outputs a sound signal through an audio device (not limited to a speaker 170A, a receiver 170B, etc.), or displays an image or video through a display screen 194. In some embodiments, the modem processor may be an independent device.

The electronic device 100 can realize the shooting function through ISP, camera 193, video codec, GPU, display screen 194 and application processor.

The ISP is used to process the data fed back by the camera 193. For example, when taking a photo, the shutter is opened, and the light is transmitted to the camera photosensitive element through the lens. The light signal is converted into an electrical signal, and the camera photosensitive element transmits the electrical signal to the ISP for processing and converts it into an image visible to the naked eye. The ISP can also perform algorithm optimization on the noise, brightness, and skin color of the image. The ISP can also optimize the exposure, color temperature and other parameters of the shooting scene. In some embodiments, the ISP can be set in the camera 193.

The camera 193 is used to capture still images or videos. The object generates an optical image through the lens and projects it onto the photosensitive element. The photosensitive element can be a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The photosensitive element converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, and then passes the electrical signal to the ISP to be converted into a digital image signal. The ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into an image signal in a standard RGB, YUV or other format. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may include 1 or N cameras 193, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.

The software system of the electronic device 100 may adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a micro-core architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. In the embodiment of the present invention, the Android system of the layered architecture is taken as an example to exemplify the software structure of the electronic device 100.

FIG. 3 is a software structure block diagram of the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each with clear roles and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom, namely, the application layer, the application framework layer, the Android runtime and system library, and the kernel layer.

The application layer can include a series of application packages.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the application package may include applications such as camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, music, video, short message, etc.

The notification manager enables applications to display notification information in the status bar. It can be used to convey notification-type messages and can disappear automatically after a short stay without user interaction. For example, the notification manager is used to notify download completion, message reminders, etc. The notification manager can also be a notification that appears in the system top status bar in the form of a chart or scroll bar text, such as notifications of applications running in the background, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, a text message is displayed in the status bar, a prompt sound is emitted, an electronic device vibrates, an indicator light flashes, etc.

Android Runtime includes core libraries and virtual machines. Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and management of the Android system.

The core library consists of two parts: one part is the function that needs to be called by the Java language, and the other part is the Android core library.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the Java files of the application layer and the application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used to perform functions such as object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

The system library may include multiple functional modules, such as surface manager, media library, 3D graphics processing library (such as OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engine (such as SGL), etc.

The touch operation method of the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below.

The touch operation method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to an electronic device with a pressure-sensitive button. First, the pressure-sensitive button in the embodiment of the present application is described.

As shown in FIG4 , a touch-sensitive button, also called a pressure-sensitive button 190A, is provided on the electronic device 100. The pressure-sensitive button 190A can be provided at a position that can be touched by a finger when the electronic device is held in one hand. For example, the pressure-sensitive button 190A can be located on the side of the electronic device 100, at the same position as the volume button.

In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 may include one or more pressure-sensitive buttons 190A. For example, two pressure-sensitive buttons 190A may be included. If the electronic device 100 includes two pressure-sensitive buttons 190A, the two pressure-sensitive buttons 190A may be respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the electronic device 100. In this way, when the user holds the electronic device with one hand in the left hand, the pressure-sensitive button 190A located on the left side of the electronic device can be touched; when the user holds the electronic device with one hand in the right hand, the pressure-sensitive button 190A located on the right side of the electronic device can be touched.

When a finger touches the pressure-sensitive key 190A, the pressure-sensitive key 190A can identify touch information such as the pressure, position, and duration of the finger touching the pressure-sensitive key 190A, and can determine the type of touch operation based on the touch information.

Exemplarily, the touch operation types in the embodiments of the present application may include: a press operation, a slide operation, a press operation without releasing the hand, and a release operation.

A pressing operation refers to a touch operation that acts on the same touch position for a short time. That is, after the finger touches the pressure-sensitive key 190A, it quickly leaves the pressure-sensitive key 190A. The time the finger stays on the pressure-sensitive key 190A is less than the pressing time threshold.

The pressing operation can be divided into multiple pressing operation types according to the size of the touch pressure of the touch pressure-sensitive key 190A. For example, the pressing operation where the touch pressure value F satisfies F＜F1 can be called a light touch pressing operation; the pressing operation where the touch pressure value F satisfies F1≤F＜F2 can be called a light press pressing operation; and the pressing operation where the touch pressure value F satisfies F2≤F can be called a heavy press pressing operation. Among them, 0≤F1＜F2.

The sliding operation refers to an operation in which a finger touches the pressure-sensitive key 190A and generates a displacement on the pressure-sensitive key 190A that is greater than or equal to the movement threshold. The sliding operation can be divided into an upward sliding operation and a downward sliding operation. Among them, the upward sliding operation refers to the finger sliding on the pressure-sensitive key 190A from bottom to top, and the downward sliding operation refers to the finger sliding on the pressure-sensitive key 190A from top to bottom.

The continuous pressing operation refers to a touch operation that acts on the same touch position for a long time. That is, after the finger touches the pressure-sensitive key 190A, it continues to press the pressure-sensitive key 190A for a period of time without leaving the pressure-sensitive key 190A. The time that the finger stays on the pressure-sensitive key 190A is greater than or equal to the pressing time threshold.

The hand-off operation refers to the operation in which the finger leaves the pressure-sensitive button 190A after completing a touch operation such as a pressing operation or a sliding operation.

It should be noted that the above description only uses the examples that the touch operation types may include: press operation, press operation without releasing the hand, slide operation and release operation, and does not represent a limitation on the touch operation types. In actual applications, more operation types can be designed according to the application scenarios.

It should also be noted that the above only uses the pressing operation including light touch pressing operation, light press pressing operation and hard press pressing operation as an example for illustrative explanation. In actual applications, the pressure value can be divided into more pressure levels according to the actual application scenario, so as to design more operation types.

The touch operation method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Embodiment 1

FIG5 is a flow chart of a touch operation method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present application. As shown in FIG5 , the method may include the following steps:

S201, detecting whether the screen status of the electronic device is in a bright screen status.

The screen status of an electronic device includes a screen-on status and a screen-off status.

In some embodiments, the screen state of the electronic device can be detected in the following manner: since the screen can light up the screen in response to the screen lighting instruction sent by the application framework layer, the screen state of the electronic device is the screen-on state. Based on this, the embodiment of the present application can detect whether the screen of the electronic device receives the screen lighting instruction, and when it is detected that the screen of the electronic device receives the screen lighting instruction, the screen state is determined to be the screen-on state. When it is not detected that the screen of the electronic device receives the screen lighting instruction, the screen state is determined to be the screen-off state.

It should be noted that the above embodiment is only illustrative of detecting whether the screen of an electronic device receives a screen lighting instruction, and does not limit the method of detecting the screen state of the electronic device. For example, other parameters or instructions of the electronic device that can characterize the screen state of the electronic device can also be detected.

S202: When the screen is in the on state, determine whether a light touch and press operation of a pressure-sensitive key by a user is detected.

When the screen is in the bright screen state, a user interface is displayed on the screen of the electronic device, and the user interface may include one or more controllable items such as application controls and links.

If the screen area currently desired to be touched is an area that cannot be touched when holding the electronic device with one hand, the user can lightly touch and press the pressure-sensitive button to trigger the one-hand operation mode. In the one-hand operation mode, the user can control the screen area by inputting different touch operations on the pressure-sensitive button.

In this way, if the electronic device detects a light touch and press operation on the pressure-sensitive key, it enters the one-handed operation mode and further executes the following step 203; otherwise, the following step 203 will not be triggered to reduce the power consumption of the electronic device.

S203: when a light touch and press operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive button is detected, an eye movement recognition function is started, and an eye movement recognition algorithm in the eye movement recognition function is used to determine a gaze area of the user.

For example, as shown in FIG1 , when a user operates an electronic device with one hand in the right hand and wants to control a controllable item in display area 1, the finger cannot touch display area 1. In this case, the user can lightly touch the pressure-sensitive button to trigger the eye movement recognition function and run the eye movement recognition algorithm in the eye movement recognition function. After lightly touching the pressure-sensitive button, the user can look at the controllable item that the user wants to control, so that the electronic device can identify the gaze area including the controllable item that the user wants to control based on the eye movement recognition algorithm.

Eye movement recognition algorithm is a technology that tracks the user's eye movements through the camera device of an electronic device and then analyzes the user's gaze area to achieve human-computer interaction.

In one possible implementation, determining the user's gaze area based on the eye movement recognition algorithm can be implemented in the following manner: in response to detecting the user's light touch and press operation on the pressure-sensitive button, the camera device of the electronic device captures the image to be recognized of the user's face, and performs eye movement recognition processing on the image to be recognized through the eye movement recognition algorithm, thereby obtaining the user's current eye movement data; based on the user's current eye movement data, the user's gaze area can be predicted. The gaze area is the screen area that the user wants to touch.

It should be noted that the eye movement recognition algorithm in the embodiment of the present application can be any eye movement recognition algorithm in the related art. For example, the eye movement recognition algorithm can be a pre-trained eye movement recognition model, so that after the camera device captures the image to be recognized of the user's face, the image to be recognized is input into the eye movement recognition model to obtain the user's gaze area.

It should also be noted that the size of the gaze area in the embodiment of the present application may be related to the accuracy of the eye movement recognition algorithm. If the accuracy of the eye movement recognition algorithm is high, the size of the identified gaze area may be relatively small. If the accuracy of the eye movement recognition algorithm is poor, the size of the identified gaze area may be relatively large. For example, some eye movement recognition algorithms can directly locate the gaze area to an area that only includes target controllable items. For another example, some eye movement recognition algorithms can locate the gaze area to an area that includes multiple controllable items (e.g., the gaze area is one sixteenth of the total area of the screen of the electronic device). In this way, the gaze area can cover an area of content on the user interface, thereby reducing the range of selecting target controllable items on the screen.

S204: Lock the gaze area on the user interface of the electronic device.

After the gaze area is determined, the gaze area is locked in the user interface of the electronic device so that the user can distinguish the gaze area from other areas in the user interface.

The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific implementation method of locking the gaze area in the user interface of the electronic device, as long as the gaze area can be distinguished from other areas in the user interface.

In one possible implementation, the fixation area can be enclosed in a graphical frame on the user interface. In this way, the user can determine that the area enclosed by the graphical frame is the fixation area based on the displayed user interface. As shown in FIG6A , the fixation area includes a clock control, a calendar control, a file management control, and a calculator control.

In one possible implementation, the controllable items in the gaze area may be displayed in a first display style in the user interface, and the controllable items in other areas of the user interface except the gaze area may be displayed in a second display style; the first display style is different from the second display style. The display style of the controllable items may include a highlight display style, a suspended display style, a dynamic display style, an enlarged display style, a reduced display style, etc. As long as the controllable items in the gaze area can be distinguished from other items, this application does not limit the specific form of the display style.

For example, as shown in Fig. 6B, the clock control, calendar control, file management control and calculator control in the fixation area can be enlarged and displayed, and the size of the application controls in other areas can be kept unchanged. In this way, the user can determine the location of the fixation area based on the display of the user interface.

S205: Determine whether a sliding operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive key is detected within a preset time period.

The preset duration refers to the preset duration from when the electronic device locks the gaze area. If a sliding operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive key is detected within the preset duration, the following step S206 is executed; otherwise, the process ends.

S206: When a sliding operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive button is detected within a preset time period, a focus operation is performed on each controllable item in the gaze area, so that each controllable item in the gaze area is sequentially in a selectable state.

After the user interface locks the gaze area, the user can perform a sliding operation on the pressure-sensitive button to trigger a focus-shifting operation on each controllable item in the gaze area. The focus-shifting operation refers to controlling each controllable item in the gaze area to be in a selectable state in turn.

The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific implementation method of the focus operation on each controllable item in the gaze area. For example, after a sliding operation is input to a pressure-sensitive button, a focus operation is automatically performed on each controllable item in the gaze area according to a preset starting position and a preset path. For another example, the focus operation can also be performed on each controllable item in the gaze area by inputting multiple sliding operations to the pressure-sensitive button. Among them, each time a sliding operation is input, the controllable item in the selectable state is changed once.

For example, if a sliding operation on a pressure-sensitive key is detected within a preset time after the user interface locks the gaze area, a cursor may be generated (the cursor may or may not be displayed on the user interface). Then, the cursor resides on each controllable item in the gaze area for a preset residence time. The state of the controllable item where the cursor resides is a selectable state.

The display style of the controllable item when it is in a selectable state is different from the display style of other controllable items in the user interface. For example, the controllable item currently in a selectable state (the controllable item where the cursor currently resides) is displayed in the user interface in a suspended display style, a dynamic display style, etc., to distinguish the controllable item currently in a selectable state from other controllable items that are not in a selectable state.

In this way, the user can determine whether the controllable item currently in the selectable state is the item that the user wants to control based on the user interface. If the controllable item in the selectable state is the item that the user wants to control (i.e., the target controllable item), the user can perform a light press operation on the pressure-sensitive button to select the target controllable item. After the target controllable item is selected, the focus operation stops. If the controllable item in the selectable state is not the target controllable item, the focus operation continues until the controllable item in the selectable state is the target controllable item, and the user performs a light press operation on the pressure-sensitive button to select the target controllable item and trigger the function corresponding to the target controllable item.

S207 , when the target controllable item is in a selectable state, in response to detecting a light pressing operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive key, selecting the target controllable item and triggering a function corresponding to the target controllable item.

In the embodiment of the present application, the operation of selecting the target controllable item is equivalent to the operation of clicking the target controllable item on the touch screen. That is to say, after the target controllable item is selected, the function corresponding to the target controllable item is triggered to execute. For example, if the target controllable item is an application control, then after the application control is selected, the user interface switches to the main interface of the application. For another example, if the target controllable item is a music playback link, then after the music playback link is selected, the user interface switches to the music playback interface or directly plays the music corresponding to the music playback link.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG7, assuming that the current user interface is the main interface of the electronic device, as shown in FIG7 (a), the gaze area displayed on the user interface includes controls corresponding to four applications, and the four controls are a clock control, a file management control, a calculator control, and a calendar control. Thus, as shown in FIG7 (a), after the user inputs a sliding operation through a pressure-sensitive key, a cursor is generated, and the cursor resides on the clock control, indicating that the current clock control is a selectable control. As shown in FIG7 (b), the cursor resides on the clock control within a preset dwell time, and if no light press operation input by the user is detected, it indicates that the user has not selected the clock control, and thus the cursor moves to the file management control. Similarly, as shown in FIG7 (c), the cursor resides on the file management control within a preset dwell time, and if no light press operation input by the user is detected, the cursor continues to move to the calculator control. Assuming that the user's desired operation is to open the calculator of the electronic device, when the cursor continues to move to the calculator control and the calculator control is in a selectable state, the user can input a light press operation through a pressure-sensitive key. In this way, as shown in (d) of FIG. 7 , after the electronic device detects the light pressing operation input by the user, it selects the calculator control that is currently in a selectable state and switches the user interface to the main interface of the calculator.

It can be seen that the touch operation method provided in the first embodiment of the present application first locates the control range to the gaze area based on the eye movement recognition algorithm. Then, by inputting a sliding operation on the pressure-sensitive button, each controllable item in the gaze area is controlled to be in a selectable state in turn. When the target controllable item is in a selectable state, the target controllable item is selected by inputting a light press operation on the pressure-sensitive button, and the function corresponding to the target controllable item is triggered. In this way, even when holding the electronic device with one hand, every area on the screen can be controlled, thereby improving the user's touch experience when holding the electronic device with one hand.

Embodiment 2

FIG8 is a flow chart of a touch operation method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present application. As shown in FIG8 , the method may include the following steps:

S301, detecting whether the screen status of the electronic device is in a bright screen status.

S302: When the screen is in the on state, determine whether a light touch and press operation of a pressure-sensitive key by a user is detected.

Among them, step S301 can refer to the description of step S201 in embodiment 1, and step S302 can refer to the description of step S202 in embodiment 1, which will not be repeated here.

S303: When a light touch and press operation of the pressure-sensitive button by the user is detected, an angle recognition function is started, and a target control area is determined based on an angle recognition algorithm in the angle recognition function.

When a user holds an electronic device with one hand, the tilt angle of the electronic device can be associated with the screen range that the user expects to manipulate. Therefore, the second embodiment of the present application can use an angle recognition algorithm to recognize the tilt angle of the electronic device when the user holds the electronic device, and then determine the target manipulation area that the user expects to manipulate based on the tilt angle of the electronic device.

In one possible implementation, the target control area is determined based on the angle recognition algorithm, which can be implemented in the following manner: after detecting a light touch and press operation on a pressure-sensitive button, the eye movement recognition function is started, and the eye movement recognition algorithm in the eye movement recognition function is run. The eye movement recognition algorithm can specifically include: obtaining a first angle of the electronic device. After the user inputs a light touch and press operation on the pressure-sensitive button, the user changes the posture of holding the mobile phone, and the changed posture is the holding posture corresponding to the desired touch control area. In this way, the electronic device can detect the second angle of the electronic device after the user changes the holding posture. Among them, the second angle of the electronic device is different from the first angle, and the duration of the electronic device maintaining the second angle is greater than the preset duration. That is, the first angle is the angle of the electronic device before the user tilts the electronic device; the second angle is the angle of the electronic device after the user tilts the electronic device. In this way, based on the first angle and the second angle, the tilt angle of the electronic device can be determined. Finally, the target control area can be determined based on the tilt angle of the electronic device. For example, the mapping relationship between multiple preset angles and each display area of the electronic device can be first obtained; based on the mapping relationship, the target control area corresponding to the above tilt angle is determined.

In an embodiment of the present application, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) in an electronic device can be used to detect the angle of the electronic device. The IMU can use an accelerometer and a gyroscope to measure the three-axis attitude angle of the electronic device. In this way, the angles obtained twice include the three-axis attitude angle. Correspondingly, the tilt angle of the electronic device is also the three-axis attitude angle. That is, the tilt angle includes the tilt angle of the electronic device in the X-axis direction, the tilt angle in the Y direction, and the tilt angle in the Z-axis direction.

The embodiment of the present application can pre-establish the correspondence between the tilt angle and the display area by simulating the posture of the user when operating different display areas of the screen when holding the electronic device with one hand. Exemplarily, when the tilt angle of the electronic device is (α1, β1, γ1), the corresponding display area is the upper left corner area of the electronic device. When the tilt angle of the electronic device is (α2, β2, γ2), the corresponding display area is the upper right corner area of the electronic device. Among them, α1 and α2 represent the tilt angles relative to the X-axis, β1 and β2 represent the tilt angles relative to the Y-axis, and γ1 and γ2 represent the tilt angles relative to the Z-axis.

In this way, after the tilt angle of the electronic device is calculated, the display area corresponding to the currently calculated tilt angle can be determined based on the corresponding relationship between the tilt angle and the display area.

S304, locking the target control area in the user interface of the electronic device.

S305: Determine whether a sliding operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive key is detected within a preset time period.

S306: When a sliding operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive button is detected within a preset time period, a focus operation is performed on each controllable item in the target control area, so that each controllable item in the target control area is in a selectable state in turn.

S307 , when the target controllable item is in a selectable state, in response to detecting a light pressing operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive key, selecting the target controllable item and triggering a function corresponding to the target controllable item.

The target control area in the second embodiment of the present application is equivalent to the gaze area in the first embodiment. Among them, step S304 can refer to the description of step S204 in the first embodiment, step S305 can refer to the description of step S205 in the first embodiment, step S306 can refer to the description of step S206 in the first embodiment, and step S307 can refer to the description of step S706 in the first embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

It can be seen that the touch operation method provided in the second embodiment of the present application first locates the control range to the target control area based on the angle recognition algorithm. Then, by inputting a sliding operation on the pressure-sensitive button, each controllable item in the target control area is controlled to be in a selectable state in turn. When the target controllable item is in a selectable state, the target controllable item is selected by inputting a light press operation on the pressure-sensitive button, and the function corresponding to the target controllable item is triggered. In this way, even when holding the electronic device with one hand, every area on the screen can be controlled, thereby improving the user's touch experience when holding the electronic device with one hand.

Embodiment 3

FIG9 is a flow chart of a touch operation method provided in Embodiment 3 of the present application. As shown in FIG9 , the method may include the following steps:

S401, detecting whether the screen status of the electronic device is in a bright screen status.

S402: When the screen is in the on state, determine whether to enter the one-handed operation mode.

The user can enter the one-handed operation mode by using a shortcut key, for example, the user can enter the one-handed operation mode by quickly clicking the pressure-sensitive key twice. In this way, if the electronic device detects that the user inputs two press operations, and the time interval between the two press operations is less than the preset time interval, the one-handed operation mode is entered, that is, the following step S403 can be executed.

For another example, the user can also enter the one-handed operation mode by clicking a "one-handed operation mode" control on the user interface, wherein the "one-handed operation mode" control is located in an area on the user interface that can be touched by the user with one hand.

If the one-handed operation mode is entered, the following step S403 is performed.

S403: After entering the one-handed operation mode, determine whether a sliding operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive key is detected.

S404, when a sliding operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive button is detected, the starting position of the cursor is determined, and the cursor is controlled to move along the first coordinate axis in the user interface (i.e., a focus operation is performed on each controllable item in the user interface along the first coordinate axis), so that each controllable item located on the first coordinate axis is in a selectable state in turn.

If the target controllable item is not on the first coordinate axis that is currently out of focus, the following steps S405 to S406 are performed. If the target controllable item is on the first coordinate axis that is currently out of focus, the following step S407 is performed.

S405, when a continuous pressing operation on the pressure-sensitive button is detected, the cursor is controlled to move along the second coordinate axis in the user interface (i.e., a focus operation is performed on each controllable item in the user interface along the second coordinate axis), so that each controllable item located on the second coordinate axis is in a selectable state in turn.

S406 , when the target controllable item is in a selectable state, in response to detecting a hand-off operation, selecting the target controllable item and triggering a function corresponding to the target controllable item.

S407 , when the target controllable item is in a selectable state, in response to detecting a light pressing operation on the pressure-sensitive key, selecting the target controllable item and triggering a function corresponding to the target controllable item.

After entering the one-handed operation mode, the user can input a sliding operation on the pressure-sensitive button to trigger the cursor to perform a focus operation on each controllable item in the user interface along the first coordinate axis starting from a preset starting position.

In some embodiments, the cursor can automatically perform a focus operation on each controllable item in the user interface along the first coordinate axis from a preset starting position according to a preset path.

In some embodiments, the cursor can be controlled to move from a preset starting position to an upward or downward movement along the first coordinate axis by inputting an upward sliding operation or a downward sliding operation on the pressure-sensitive key. For example, if the electronic device detects an upward sliding operation input by the user, the cursor is controlled to move upward movement along the first coordinate axis; if the electronic device detects a downward sliding operation input by the user, the cursor is controlled to move downward movement along the first coordinate axis.

When the cursor moves along the first coordinate axis, the user can input two touch operations on the pressure-sensitive button.

The first type: if the target controllable item is a controllable item on the current focus path of the first coordinate axis, when the cursor moves to the target controllable item on the first coordinate axis, the user can lightly touch and press the pressure-sensitive button to select the target controllable item.

The second method: If the target controllable item is not on the current focus path of the first coordinate axis, when the cursor moves to the row where the target controllable item is located, the user can press the pressure-sensitive button without releasing the finger to trigger focus on the second coordinate axis. When the cursor moves to the target controllable item on the second coordinate axis, the user can lift his finger and leave the pressure-sensitive button to select the target controllable item.

The first coordinate axis may be the X axis or the Y axis of the screen of the electronic device. If the first coordinate axis is the X axis, the second coordinate axis is the Y axis; if the first coordinate axis is the Y axis, the second coordinate axis is the X axis.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG10A , the starting position of the out-of-focus is the upper left corner position, the first coordinate axis is the Y axis, and the target controllable item is an email control. In response to detecting a sliding operation input by the user, a cursor is generated, and the cursor stays on the clock control, and the clock control is in a selectable state. If the cursor resides on the clock control within a preset dwell time and no pressing operation input by the user is detected, it indicates that the user has not selected the clock control. In this way, the cursor moves along the Y axis to the next control, such as a file management control. Similarly, when the cursor moves along the Y axis to the email control, the user can tap the pressure-sensitive button to select the email control where the cursor resides. In this way, after the electronic device receives the light touch and press operation input by the user, it stops focusing on the Y axis and selects the email control.

As another example, in combination with FIGS. 10A and 10B , the starting position of the focus is the upper left corner, the first coordinate axis is the Y axis, the second coordinate axis is the X axis, and the target controllable item is the weather control. As shown in FIG. 10A , when the cursor moves along the Y axis to the row where the weather control is located (i.e., when the cursor resides in the email control), the user can press the pressure-sensitive button without letting go to stop the cursor from moving on the Y axis, and control the direction of movement of the cursor on the X axis by controlling the pressing pressure on the pressure-sensitive button, until the cursor moves along the X axis to the weather control, and the user lifts his finger to remove the finger from the pressure-sensitive button to select the weather control.

In an embodiment of the present application, when the pressing operation is performed without removing the hand, the electronic device can detect the pressure value of the pressure-sensitive button, and based on the pressure value, control the cursor to move in the positive or negative direction along the X-axis. For example, as the pressing pressure gradually increases, the cursor moves in the positive direction of the X-axis, that is, from left to right; as the pressing pressure gradually weakens, the cursor moves in the negative direction of the X-axis, that is, from right to left. For another example, a mapping relationship between the pressure value and the position of the cursor on the X-axis can also be established. In this way, after the pressure value is detected, the cursor position corresponding to the current pressure value can be determined based on the mapping relationship between the pressure value and the position of the cursor on the X-axis, and the cursor can be moved to that position.

For example, as shown in FIG10B , taking the target controllable item as the weather control as an example, when the cursor moves along the Y axis to the row where the weather control is located, the user keeps pressing the pressure-sensitive button and gradually increases the pressing strength. In this way, after the electronic device detects the user's hands-free pressing operation, based on the detected pressing pressure, the cursor moves forward along the X axis until the cursor moves to the weather button, and the user lifts his finger and leaves the pressure-sensitive button to select the weather control.

It should be noted that the above description is based on the example of selecting the target controllable item after detecting the hand-off operation, which does not represent a limitation here. For example, after detecting the hand-off operation, the target controllable item can be locked first and the cursor movement can be stopped. Then, the user selects the target controllable item by lightly pressing the pressure-sensitive button once. In this way, the possibility of accidental touch can be reduced.

The starting position of the focus loss may be any position on the user interface, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

In some embodiments, considering that the user cannot usually touch the edge area of the screen when holding the electronic device with one hand, the starting position of the out-of-focus may be set at the upper left corner, upper right corner, lower left corner, lower right corner, left edge center, right edge center, upper edge center or lower edge center of the screen. Specifically, the starting position of the out-of-focus may be represented by coordinates, for example, the starting position of the out-of-focus is (x1, y1), where x1 represents the coordinate point on the X-axis of the screen, and y1 represents the coordinate point on the Y-axis of the screen.

In some embodiments, considering that the left-handed operation and the right-handed operation have different corresponding touchable ranges, it is possible to first identify whether the user is holding the electronic device with the left hand or the right hand, and then determine the starting position of the focus deviation based on the identification result.

For example, if it is recognized that the user inputs the touch operation through the pressure-sensitive button on the left, it can be determined that the user is holding the electronic device with his left hand; if it is recognized that the user inputs the touch operation through the pressure-sensitive button on the right, it can be determined that the user is holding the electronic device with his right hand.

Correspondingly, if it is recognized that the user is holding the electronic device with his left hand, the starting position of the focus loss can be determined as a position close to the right side of the screen, for example, the starting position of the focus loss is the upper right corner, the lower right corner, or the center of the right edge of the screen. If it is recognized that the user is holding the electronic device with his right hand, the starting position of the focus loss can be determined as a position close to the left side of the screen, for example, the starting position of the focus loss is the upper left corner, the lower left corner, or the center of the left edge of the screen.

It should be noted that when the focus operation is performed in the third embodiment of the present application, the display status corresponding to each controllable item can refer to the description of the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

It can be seen that the touch operation method provided in the third embodiment of the present application can control the cursor to move in two dimensions, the X-axis and the Y-axis, by inputting different touch operation types to the pressure-sensitive buttons. In this way, the cursor can be used to select a controllable item at any position on the user interface. In addition, the cursor can be controlled to move freely in two directions of a coordinate axis by applying different pressures to the pressure-sensitive buttons. In this way, even when holding the electronic device with one hand, every area on the screen can be controlled, thereby improving the user's touch experience when holding the electronic device with one hand.

Embodiment 4

FIG11 is a flow chart of a touch operation method provided in Embodiment 4 of the present application. As shown in FIG11 , the method may include the following steps:

S501, detecting whether the screen status of the electronic device is in a bright screen status.

S502: When the screen is in the on state, determine whether a sliding operation of a user on a pressure-sensitive key is detected.

S503: When a sliding operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive key is detected, determine whether scalable notification information is received.

In the embodiment of the present application, after detecting the user's sliding operation on the pressure-sensitive key, the kernel layer generates a corresponding point reporting event based on the sliding operation, and reports the point reporting event to the application layer. In this way, after receiving the point reporting event, the application layer can determine whether the current user interface includes scalable content.

If the application layer determines that the current user interface includes scalable content, the application layer can respond to the sliding operation according to the zoom operation. Correspondingly, the application layer can send a zoomable notification message to the system to notify that the current user interface includes scalable content, that is, a zoom operation can be performed on the current user interface. If the application layer determines that the current user interface does not include scalable content, the application layer will not respond to the sliding operation according to the zoom operation. Correspondingly, the application layer will not send a zoomable notification message.

In this way, if the scalable notification information is received, the following step S504 is executed; otherwise, the process ends.

The scalable content refers to the content that can be enlarged or reduced in the user interface, such as images, maps, etc.

S504: When the zoomable notification information is received, determine a target zoom area in the user interface.

The target zoom area refers to the location where the user expects to perform a zoom operation on the zoomable content.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target zoom area may be determined based on an eye movement recognition algorithm or an angle recognition algorithm.

The method for determining the target zoom area based on the eye movement recognition algorithm can refer to the description of embodiment 1. The method for determining the target zoom area based on the angle recognition algorithm can refer to the description of embodiment 2, which will not be repeated here.

S505: Determine a zoom focus for performing a zoom operation on the zoomable content in the target zoom area.

The zoom focus is any point in the target zoom area. For example, the zoom focus may be the center point of the target zoom area.

S506: Determine whether an upward sliding operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive key is detected.

S507: When an upward sliding operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive key is detected, a zooming operation is performed on the zoomable content based on the zoom focus.

S508: When no upward sliding operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive key is detected, determine whether a downward sliding operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive key is detected.

S509: When a downward sliding operation of the user on the pressure-sensitive key is detected, a zoom-out operation is performed on the zoomable content based on the zoom focus.

For example, as shown in FIG12(a), the user interface determines the target zoom area (the area in the rectangular dashed box in FIG12(a)), and the center of the target zoom area is used as the zoom focus. As shown in FIG12(b), based on the zoom focus, after the user interface is zoomed in, the user interface zooms in and displays the content around the zoom focus.

In some embodiments, after performing a zoom operation on the zoomable content based on the zoom focus, if the user interface includes controllable items, different touch operations can be further input to the pressure-sensitive keys to select the target controllable item in the user interface and trigger the function corresponding to the target controllable item.

The method of selecting a target controllable item in the user interface by inputting different touch operations to the pressure-sensitive buttons can be specifically described in the first, second and third embodiments, which will not be described again here.

It should be noted that the above implementation is only illustrative of the example of first determining whether an upward sliding operation is detected. It is also possible to first determine whether a downward sliding operation is detected. The embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

It can be seen that the touch operation method provided in the fourth embodiment of the present application, if receiving zoomable notification information, can determine the target zoom area based on the eye movement recognition algorithm or the angle recognition algorithm. Further determine the zoom focus in the target zoom area. In this way, the zoomable content can be zoomed based on the zoom focus by sliding up or sliding down on the pressure-sensitive button input. In this way, even when the electronic device is held in one hand, the function of zooming each area on the screen can be realized, thereby improving the user's touch experience when holding the electronic device in one hand.

In summary, as shown in FIG13 , the touch operation provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:

S601, the electronic device displays a first interface, where the first interface includes at least one controllable item.

When the screen state of the electronic device is the screen-on state, the electronic device displays the first interface. The screen-on state detection method can refer to the description of the first embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

S602: In response to a one-handed mode triggering operation by a user, the electronic device enters a one-handed operation mode.

The specific form of the one-handed mode triggering operation is not limited in the present application embodiment. For example, it can be a light touch and press operation in the first embodiment; it can also be a shortcut key method in the third embodiment or a method of clicking the "one-handed operation mode" control on the user interface.

S603: When the electronic device is in a one-handed operation mode, in response to a first touch operation input by a user via a pressure-sensitive key, at least one controllable item in a target control area in the first interface is sequentially in a selectable state.

In one possible implementation, the target control area can be determined in the first interface based on an eye movement recognition algorithm or an angle recognition algorithm; then, based on the target control area, the second interface is displayed; finally, in response to the first touch operation input by the user via a pressure-sensitive key, at least one controllable item in the target control area in the second interface is sequentially in a selectable state. The target control area in the second interface is displayed in a first display mode, and the area other than the target control area in the second interface is displayed in a second display mode, and the first display mode and the second display mode are different.

In one implementable manner, determining a target control area in a first interface based on an eye movement recognition algorithm may include: when the electronic device is in a one-handed operation mode, capturing a user's facial image; processing the user's facial image to obtain the user's eye movement data; and determining a target control area in the first interface based on the eye movement data.

In one implementable manner, determining a target control area in a first interface based on an angle recognition algorithm may include: when the electronic device is in a one-handed operation mode, acquiring a first angle of the electronic device; when the angle of the electronic device changes from a first angle to a second angle, and the time length for which the electronic device maintains the second angle is greater than a second preset time length, determining a tilt angle of the electronic device based on the first angle and the second angle; and determining a target control area in the first interface based on the tilt angle of the electronic device.

In one implementable manner, determining a target control area in a first interface based on a tilt angle may include: obtaining a mapping relationship between multiple preset angles and each display area of the electronic device; and determining a target control area corresponding to the tilt angle in the first interface based on the mapping relationship.

In one implementable manner, displaying a second interface based on a target control area may include: encircling the target control area in a graphic frame on the second interface; or, displaying each controllable item in the target control area in a first display style on the second interface, and displaying controllable items other than the target control area in the second interface in a second display style, the first display style being different from the second display style.

In an implementable manner, the first touch operation may include a sliding operation, and the second touch operation may include a pressing operation. It should be understood that the first touch operation and the second touch operation may also adopt other types of touch operations.

The above implementation methods can be referred to the description of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, which will not be repeated here.

In one possible implementation, the first touch operation may include a first sub-touch operation and/or a second sub-touch operation. In response to the first sub-touch operation input by the user via the pressure-sensitive key, the starting position of the cursor is determined, and the cursor moves along the first coordinate axis on the first interface; wherein, when the cursor resides on the first controllable item in the target control area, the first controllable item is in a selectable state; the first controllable item is any one of the at least one controllable item; and/or, in response to the second sub-touch operation input by the user via the pressure-sensitive key, the cursor moves along the second coordinate axis on the first interface, and the first coordinate axis and the second coordinate axis are perpendicular to each other.

In one implementation, the first sub-touch operation includes a sliding operation, the second sub-touch operation includes a press operation without releasing the hand, and the second touch operation includes a release operation. It should be understood that the first sub-touch operation, the second sub-touch operation, and the second touch operation may also use other types of touch operations.

In one implementable manner, controlling the cursor to move along the second coordinate axis on the first interface may include: obtaining a pressure value of a second sub-touch operation; determining a target movement direction of the cursor along the second coordinate axis on the first interface based on the pressure value; and moving the cursor in the target movement direction along the second coordinate axis.

In one implementable manner, determining a target moving direction of a cursor moving along a second coordinate axis on a first interface based on a pressure value may include: when the pressure value gradually increases, determining the target moving direction to be a first direction of the second coordinate axis; when the pressure value gradually decreases, determining the target moving direction to be a second direction of the second coordinate axis; the first direction and the second direction are two opposite directions.

In one implementable manner, the electronic device includes a first pressure-sensitive button and a second pressure-sensitive button, and the first pressure-sensitive button and the second pressure-sensitive button are relatively arranged on two sides of the electronic device; determining the starting position of the cursor includes: determining the pressure-sensitive button that receives the first sub-touch operation; when the pressure-sensitive button that receives the first sub-touch operation is the first pressure-sensitive button, determining the starting position of the cursor to be a position away from the first pressure-sensitive button; when the pressure-sensitive button that receives the first sub-touch operation is the second pressure-sensitive button, determining the starting position of the cursor to be a position away from the second pressure-sensitive button.

The above-mentioned implementation method can be referred to the description of Embodiment 3, which will not be repeated here.

S604, when a target controllable item among at least one controllable item is in a selectable state, in response to a second touch operation input by the user via the pressure-sensitive key, the target controllable item in the selectable state is selected, and a function corresponding to the target controllable item in the selectable state is triggered.

For step S604, please refer to the description of Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 3, which will not be described again here.

It should be noted that, for the first embodiment, the target controllable item refers to the gaze area, while for the third embodiment, the target controllable item refers to the entire user interface.

It should also be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first touch operation, the second touch operation, the first sub-touch operation, the second sub-touch operation, and the third touch operation can be any controllable operation, and are not limited to the touch operation types exemplified in the above-mentioned embodiments one, two, and three.

FIG14 is a flow chart of another touch operation provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG14 , the method may include the following steps:

S701, the electronic device displays a first interface.

S702, in response to a fourth touch operation input by the user via a pressure-sensitive key, when zoomable notification information is received, determining a target zoom area in the first interface; wherein the zoomable notification information is used to notify that the first interface includes zoomable content.

S703: Determine a zoom focus for performing a zoom operation on the zoomable content in the target zoom area.

S704: In response to a fifth touch operation input by the user via the pressure-sensitive key, a zoom operation is performed on the zoomable content based on the zoom focus.

In one possible implementation, when the fifth touch operation is an upward swipe operation, the zoomable content is enlarged based on the zoom focus; when the fifth touch operation is a downward swipe operation, the zoomable content is reduced based on the zoom focus; or, when the fifth touch operation is a downward swipe operation, the zoomable content is enlarged based on the zoom focus; when the fifth touch operation is an upward swipe operation, the zoomable content is reduced based on the zoom focus.

In one achievable manner, a third interface is displayed after a zoom operation is performed on the zoomable content, and the third interface includes at least one controllable item; in response to a first touch operation input by a user via a pressure-sensitive key, at least one controllable item in a target control area in the third interface is sequentially in a selectable state; when a target controllable item in at least one controllable item is in a selectable state, in response to a second touch operation input by a user via a pressure-sensitive key, the target controllable item in a selectable state is selected, and a function corresponding to the target controllable item in a selectable state is triggered. The above steps S701 to S704 can refer to the description of the fourth embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

The various method embodiments described in this document may be independent solutions or may be combined according to internal logic, and these solutions all fall within the protection scope of this application.

It can be understood that, in the above-mentioned various method embodiments, the methods and operations implemented by the electronic device can also be implemented by components (such as chips or circuits) that can be used in the electronic device.

The above embodiments introduce the touch operation method provided by the present application. It is understandable that, in order to implement the above functions, the electronic device includes a hardware structure and/or software module corresponding to each function. Those skilled in the art should easily realize that, in combination with the units and algorithm steps of each example described in the embodiments disclosed herein, the present application can be implemented in the form of hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in the form of hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution.
