Technical field

This application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to a parameter adjustment method and electronic equipment.

Background technique

Touch screens are widely used in electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, e-books, and digital cameras to facilitate user operations. With the renewal and upgrade of electronic products, the development of flexible and side sensor technology, the screen of electronic equipment has also achieved rapid development. The curved screen came into being, and users can perform more touch operations on the side of the screen. The curved screen uses a special plastic material instead of mainstream glass material, so it is more flexible than ordinary screens and is not easily damaged. In addition, it also has the advantages of light weight and low power consumption, so some manufacturers have applied curved screens to electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers.

Conventional curved screen electronic devices still have a physical volume key for adjusting the volume of the electronic device. If the physical volume key is eliminated, a more robust and more integrated device can be obtained. However, there is currently no solution for how to achieve volume adjustment without physical volume keys.

Summary of the invention

The technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of the present application is to provide a parameter adjustment method and electronic device to realize the adjustment of the volume or brightness parameters of the electronic device without a physical volume key.

In the first aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a parameter adjustment method, which is applied to an electronic device with a curved screen, and may include:

The electronic device receives a user's trigger operation on the side area of the curved screen, and the trigger operation is used to trigger adjustment of preset parameters of the electronic device;

In response to the trigger operation, the electronic device turns on the function of adjusting the preset parameters;

The electronic device receives an adjustment operation of the user in the side area; the adjustment operation is used to adjust preset parameters of the electronic device;

Responding to the adjustment operation, the electronic device adjusts the preset parameter according to the adjustment operation;

The preset parameters include a system volume parameter of the electronic device, a volume parameter of an application currently running on a display interface, or a display brightness parameter of the curved screen.

That is, when an electronic device without a physical volume key needs to adjust a volume parameter or a brightness parameter, the electronic device can trigger the adjustment function according to the user's trigger operation, and complete the parameter adjustment according to the user's adjustment operation. Misoperation can be effectively avoided, and volume parameters or brightness parameters can be adjusted on electronic devices without physical volume keys.

In a possible implementation manner, before the electronic device activates the function of adjusting the preset parameters in response to the trigger operation, the method further includes:

Determine whether the trigger operation is a valid touch screen event;

The enabling the function of adjusting the preset parameters includes:

If the trigger operation is a valid touch screen event, the function of enabling and adjusting the preset parameters is executed.

Adjusting the preset parameter according to the adjustment operation includes: adjusting the preset parameter to an extreme value according to the extreme value adjustment operation, and the extreme value includes a maximum value or a minimum value.

In a possible implementation manner, the extreme value adjustment operation includes any one of the following:

An operation of pressing on the side area for a second preset duration;

An operation performed in the side area at a speed that reaches a first preset speed;

An operation of continuously touching the side area for a third preset duration after sliding at a speed that reaches the first preset speed.

In this way, the intuitiveness and ease of use of parameter adjustment can be further improved, and it is convenient for users to operate.

In a possible implementation manner, the current value of the preset parameter is indicated by a dial on the adjustable area or displayed by a bubble attached to the adjustable area.

In a possible implementation manner, the side area includes a first sensing area and a second sensing area, and the first sensing area is used to trigger adjustment of system volume parameters or to trigger adjustment of an application running on the current display interface. Volume parameter, the second sensing area is used to trigger adjustment of the display brightness parameter of the curved screen.

detailed description

For ease of understanding, some illustrations of concepts related to the embodiments of the present application are given as examples for reference. As follows:

The curved screen is a display screen made of flexible plastic. Compared with the straight-faced screen, the curved screen uses non-rigid glass as the substrate, which is more flexible and not easy to break. Therefore, the wear rate of the screen is reduced, especially the mobile phone screen with a high rate of being touched.

Capacitive touch screen technology uses the current induction of the human body to work. When a finger touches the metal layer, due to the electric field of the human body, the user and the surface of the touch screen form a coupling capacitor. For high-frequency current, the capacitor is a direct conductor, so the finger draws a small current from the contact point. This current flows from the electrodes on the four corners of the touch screen, and the current flowing through these four electrodes is proportional to the distance from the finger to the four corners. The processor can calculate the ratio of these four currents to get the touch point. position.

It should be noted that, in addition to the implementation shown in Figure 2, in other possible designs, the power button can be a virtual button or a physical button, and the sensing area can be set on the right side of the curved screen when the user is facing the phone, or Set on the left side of the curved screen when the user is facing the phone. For phones with a three-sided or four-sided curved screen, it can also be set on the side area corresponding to the top or bottom of the phone when the user is facing the phone. Of course, it can also be on both sides. Or multiple sides can be configured. If a more advanced full-screen pressure-sensitive touch screen is used, the press can be triggered in any area. When the functions of adjusting volume and brightness are provided at the same time, the first pressure sensing area and the second pressure sensing area may be arranged on the same side or on different sides, and the embodiment of the present application does not make any limitation.

The display panel of the curved screen 301 can be a liquid crystal display (LCD), organic light-emitting diode (OLED), active matrix organic light-emitting diode or active matrix organic light-emitting diode (active-matrix organic light emitting diode, referred to as AMOLED), flexible light-emitting diode (flex light-emitting diode, referred to as FLED), quantum dot light emitting diode (quantum dot light emitting diode, referred to as QLED), etc. In some embodiments, the mobile phone 100 may include one or N curved screens, and N is a positive integer greater than one.

The mobile phone 100 can implement a shooting function through an ISP, a camera 193, a video codec, a GPU, a flexible screen 301, and an application processor.

The ISP is used to process the data fed back by the camera 193. For example, when taking a picture, the shutter is opened, the light is transmitted to the photosensitive element of the camera through the lens, the light signal is converted into an electrical signal, and the photosensitive element of the camera transfers the electrical signal to the ISP for processing and transforms it into an image visible to the naked eye. ISP can also optimize the image noise, brightness, and skin color. ISP can also optimize the exposure, color temperature and other parameters of the shooting scene. In some embodiments, the ISP may be provided 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 is projected to the photosensitive element. The photosensitive element may 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 transfers the electrical signal to the ISP to convert it into a digital image signal. ISP outputs digital image signals to DSP for processing. DSP converts digital image signals into standard RGB, YUV and other formats of image signals. In some embodiments, the mobile phone 100 may include one or N cameras 193, and N is a positive integer greater than one.

Digital signal processors are used to process digital signals. In addition to digital image signals, they can also process other digital signals. For example, when the mobile phone 100 selects a frequency point, the digital signal processor is used to perform Fourier transform on the energy of the frequency point.

Video codecs are used to compress or decompress digital video. The mobile phone 100 may support one or more video codecs. In this way, the mobile phone 100 can play or record videos in multiple encoding formats, such as: moving picture experts group (MPEG) 1, MPEG2, MPEG3, MPEG4, and so on.

NPU is a neural-network (NN) computing processor. By drawing on the structure of biological neural networks, for example, the transfer mode between human brain neurons, it can quickly process input information, and it can also continuously self-learn. Through the NPU, applications such as intelligent cognition of the mobile phone 100 can be implemented, such as image recognition, face recognition, voice recognition, text understanding, and so on.

The external memory interface 120 may be used to connect an external memory card, such as a Micro SD card, to expand the storage capacity of the mobile phone 100. The external memory card communicates with the processor 110 through the external memory interface 120 to realize the data storage function. For example, save music, video and other files in an external memory card.

The internal memory 121 may be used to store computer executable program code, where the executable program code includes instructions. The processor 110 executes various functional applications and data processing of the mobile phone 100 by running instructions stored in the internal memory 121. The internal memory 121 may include a storage program area and a storage data area. Among them, the storage program area can store an operating system, at least one application program (such as a sound playback function, an image playback function, etc.) required by at least one function. The data storage area can store data (such as audio data, phone book, etc.) created during the use of the mobile phone 100. In addition, the internal memory 121 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, a flash memory device, a universal flash storage (UFS), and the like.

The mobile phone 100 can implement audio functions through the audio module 170, the speaker 170A, the receiver 170B, the microphone 170C, the earphone interface 170D, and the application processor. For example, music playback, recording, etc.

The audio module 170 is used to convert digital audio information into an analog audio signal for output, and is also used to convert an analog audio input into a digital audio signal. The audio module 170 can also be used to encode and decode audio signals. In some embodiments, the audio module 170 may be provided in the processor 110, or part of the functional modules of the audio module 170 may be provided in the processor 110.

The speaker 170A, also called "speaker", is used to convert audio electrical signals into sound signals. The mobile phone 100 can listen to music through the speaker 170A, or listen to a hands-free call.

The receiver 170B, also called "earpiece", is used to convert audio electrical signals into sound signals. When the mobile phone 100 answers a call or a voice message, it can receive the voice by bringing the receiver 170B close to the human ear.

The microphone 170C, also called "microphone", "microphone", is used to convert sound signals into electrical signals. When making a call or sending a voice message, the user can make a sound by approaching the microphone 170C through the human mouth, and input the sound signal into the microphone 170C. The mobile phone 100 may be provided with at least one microphone 170C. In other embodiments, the mobile phone 100 may be provided with two microphones 170C, which can implement noise reduction functions in addition to collecting sound signals. In some other embodiments, the mobile phone 100 may also be provided with three, four or more microphones 170C to collect sound signals, reduce noise, identify sound sources, and realize directional recording functions.

The earphone interface 170D is used to connect wired earphones. The earphone interface 170D may be a USB interface 130, or a 3.5mm open mobile terminal platform (OMTP) standard interface, or a cellular telecommunications industry association of the USA (CTIA) standard interface.

The motor 191 can generate vibration prompts. The motor 191 can be used for incoming call vibration notification, and can also be used for touch vibration feedback. For example, touch operations that act on different applications (such as photographing, audio playback, etc.) can correspond to different vibration feedback effects. Acting on touch operations in different areas of the flexible screen 301, the motor 191 can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. Different application scenarios (for example: time reminding, receiving information, alarm clock, games, etc.) can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The touch vibration feedback effect can also support customization.

The indicator 192 may be an indicator light, which may be used to indicate the charging status, power change, or to indicate messages, missed calls, notifications, and so on.

The SIM card interface 195 is used to connect to the SIM card. The SIM card can be connected to and separated from the mobile phone 100 by inserting into the SIM card interface 195 or pulling out from the SIM card interface 195. The mobile phone 100 may support 1 or N SIM card interfaces, and N is a positive integer greater than 1. The SIM card interface 195 can support Nano SIM cards, Micro SIM cards, SIM cards, etc. The same SIM card interface 195 can insert multiple cards at the same time. The types of the multiple cards can be the same or different. The SIM card interface 195 can also be compatible with different types of SIM cards. The SIM card interface 195 may also be compatible with external memory cards. The mobile phone 100 interacts with the network through the SIM card to implement functions such as call and data communication. In some embodiments, the mobile phone 100 uses an eSIM, that is, an embedded SIM card. The eSIM card can be embedded in the mobile phone 100 and cannot be separated from the mobile phone 100.

The sensors mainly involved in the embodiments of this application may include one or more of the following sensors:

The pressure sensor 180A is used to sense the pressure signal and can convert the pressure signal into an electrical signal. In some embodiments, the pressure sensor 180A may be disposed on the side area of the curved screen 301. There are many types of pressure sensors 180A, such as resistive pressure sensors, inductive pressure sensors, capacitive pressure sensors and so on. The capacitive pressure sensor may include at least two parallel plates with conductive material. When a force is applied to the pressure sensor 180A, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. The mobile phone 100 determines the intensity of the pressure according to the change of the capacitance. When a touch operation acts on the curved screen 301, the mobile phone 100 detects the intensity of the touch operation according to the pressure sensor 180A. The mobile phone 100 may also calculate the touched position based on the detection signal of the pressure sensor 180A. In some embodiments, touch operations that act on the same touch position but have different touch operation strengths may correspond to different operation instructions.

The fingerprint sensor 180H is used to collect fingerprints. The mobile phone 100 can use the collected fingerprint characteristics to realize fingerprint unlocking, access application locks, fingerprint photos, fingerprint answering calls, fingerprint trigger parameter adjustments, and so on.

Touch sensor 180K, also called "touch panel". Can be set on the curved screen 301. Used to detect touch operations on or near it. The detected touch operation can be passed to the application processor to determine the type of the touch event, and provide corresponding visual output through the curved screen 301. In other embodiments, the touch sensor 180K may also be disposed on the surface of the mobile phone 100, which is different from the curved screen 301.

The above-mentioned software system of the mobile phone 100 may adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a micro-core architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. The embodiment of the present application takes an Android system with a layered architecture as an example to exemplarily illustrate a schematic diagram of the data flow inside the mobile phone 100.

The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, and each layer has a clear role and division of labor. Communication between layers through software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers. From top to bottom, they are the application layer (program layer for short), the application framework layer (frame layer for short), the Android runtime and the system library ( Referred to as the system library), and the kernel layer. Various hardware of the hardware layer can report the detected data to the corresponding driver of the kernel layer.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the state of the mobile phone is on the screen and the screen is not locked, for example, see Figure 3a, the pressure sensor on the hardware layer can report the detected pressure data to the corresponding sensor (Sensor) Driver, the sensor driver reports the signal to the input reader (InputReader) and input distributor (InputDipatcher) in the system library, and then the InputDipatcher distributes to the input manager (InputManager), the InputManager then informs the window manager (WindowManager), and the WindowManager then Tell the application of the application layer to call the View control and display the volume adjustment panel on the current interface. When the touch sensor of the hardware layer reports the detected touch data to the touch screen (TP) driver, and then through the InputReader—InputDipatcher—InputManager—WindowManager—View in turn, and then the signal is input to the audio manager (AudioManager) and the audio manager by the View The volume adjustment is realized through the audio mixer (Audioflinger), and finally the adjusted volume parameters are notified to the audio driver, and the audio driver drives the speaker or earphone to work, and finally realizes the volume adjustment without physical volume buttons.

When the state of the mobile phone is lock screen/black screen playing music or making calls (including black screen playing music or black screen making calls, and lock screen playing music or lock screen making calls), for example, see Figure 3b, because the black screen can be kept Or adjust the volume when the screen is locked. At this time, you don’t need to display the volume adjustment panel. Therefore, InputManager can input the signal into the AudioManager. The audio manager realizes the volume adjustment through the audioflinger, and finally adjusts the adjusted volume. The volume parameter informs the audio driver, and the audio driver drives the speaker or earphone to work, and finally realizes volume adjustment without physical volume buttons.

The status of the above mobile phone can be judged by InputManager, and then determine the software signal flow path that needs to be executed.

It should be noted that the brightness adjustment is basically similar, and it can be completed by View inputting the signal into the display manager and the corresponding display driver to drive the curved screen display. In addition, the touch sensor can be integrated with the curved screen or can be installed independently, and the pressure sensor can be integrated with the curved screen or can be installed independently, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In the following, a mobile phone will be used as an electronic device, for example, and a method for adjusting the volume provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 4:

When the phone is turned on,

S401: The mobile phone receives a trigger operation for adjusting the volume in the side area of the curved screen.

Optionally, the trigger operation may include but is not limited to any of the following:

An operation of pressing the side area twice within a preset time with a force greater than a preset threshold; for example, pressing twice with a pressure of 1 N within 1 second.

The operation of sliding a preset distance in the side area; for example, sliding 1 cm in the side area.

An operation of pressing in the side area for a first preset duration; for example, pressing in the side area for 2 seconds.

Performing a pressing operation at a preset position of the side area;

The operation of pressing the fingerprint stored in the mobile phone on the side area;

Press on the side area and the pressure reaches a preset threshold. For example, use a pressure of 5 N to press.

S402: Determine whether the trigger operation has a valid touch screen event. If it is, step S503 is executed, otherwise, no processing is performed.

S403: In response to the trigger operation, turn on the function of adjusting the volume.

S404: Determine the current state of the mobile phone.

S405: If the current state of the mobile phone is a bright screen and a non-locked screen, display a volume adjustment panel. Steps S406-407 are executed. The on-screen and non-locked state here may include the main interface and various sub-interfaces displayed on the mobile phone, as well as the application interface when the application is running. For example, a chat interface for running instant chat applications, a video interface for watching videos, and so on.

S406: The mobile phone receives an adjustment gesture operation for adjusting the volume in the side area of the curved screen.

S407: In response to the adjustment operation, adjust the volume and the volume adjustment panel according to the first adjustment strategy.

Optionally, the adjustment operation may include, but is not limited to, any of the following:

Sliding operation

Press operation

The first adjustment strategy includes: the sliding distance corresponds to the volume adjustment size, and the different sliding directions correspond to the increase or decrease of the volume respectively. For example, the length of the adjustable area is 3 cm, and the volume can be subdivided into 100 levels, and each level of volume corresponds to a distance of 100/3 cm. Sliding up 3 mm will increase the volume by 10 levels, and sliding down 3 mm will decrease the volume by 10 levels.

Or the pressing pressure corresponds to the volume. For example, if the pressing pressure is from 0 to 10 N, the volume can be subdivided into 100 levels. When pressing with a pressure of 1 N, the volume is directly adjusted to level 10. When pressing with a pressure of 2 N, it is directly adjusted to level 20. If the current volume is 20 When pressing with a pressure of 1 N, the volume is adjusted to 10 levels.

S408: If the current state of the mobile phone is black screen/lock screen playing music or making a call, keep the black screen or lock screen state adjusted. The volume adjustment panel may not be displayed. Steps S409-410 are executed.

S409: The mobile phone receives an adjustment operation for adjusting the volume in the side area of the curved screen.

S510: In response to the adjustment operation, adjust the volume according to the second adjustment strategy.

The second adjustment strategy includes: a single sliding corresponds to the unit value of the volume adjustment, and different directions of the sliding correspond to the increase or decrease of the volume respectively. For example, if the unit value of volume adjustment is 10 levels, a single swipe will adjust the volume by 10 levels, one swipe to the top of the screen will increase the volume by 10 levels, and a swipe to the bottom of the screen will decrease the volume by 10 levels.

Or the number of presses corresponds to the unit value of the volume adjustment, and the different positions of the press correspond to the increase or decrease of the volume. For example, pressing once at the first position increases by 10 levels, and pressing once at the second position decreases by 10 levels.

Optionally, the adjustment accuracy of the second adjustment strategy may be lower than the adjustment accuracy of the first adjustment strategy. That is, when the screen is on and the screen is not locked, you can use a smaller unit value to adjust within the total volume range preset by the system, or adjust the total volume range more finely, for example, the system presets it. The total volume range of is 10 levels, you can use 0.1 level as the unit value to adjust, or divide the total volume range into 100 levels and adjust in the range of 1 level. The second adjustment strategy can be adjusted using a larger unit value within the preset total volume range or after the total volume range is divided more roughly. For example, the preset total volume range of the system is 10 levels, you can use level 1 as the unit value for adjustment, or divide the total volume range into 10 levels and adjust in the range of level 1.

Optionally, when the volume needs to be adjusted quickly, any of the following extreme value adjustment operations is adopted:

An operation of pressing in the side area for a second preset duration; for example, pressing in the side area for 4 seconds.

The operation of sliding in the side area at a speed that reaches the first preset speed; for example, a fast upward swipe to adjust the volume to the maximum value, and a fast downward swipe to adjust the volume to the minimum value.

An operation of continuously touching the side area for a third preset duration after sliding at a speed that reaches the first preset speed.

The extreme value includes a maximum value or a minimum value.

Through the above method, the volume adjustment of a curved screen mobile phone without a physical volume key can be realized. The brightness adjustment is similar. In addition, the full pressure-sensitive curved screen can perform the above method in any area that does not conflict with other functions. If the folding part of the folding screen is equipped with a pressure sensor, the above method can also be used to adjust parameters such as volume or brightness.

In the following, a detailed description will be given in conjunction with a variety of specific scenarios, focusing on adjusting the volume of the mobile phone.

First of all, first introduce the adjustment method of the mobile phone in combination with the user's various operating habits.

As shown in Figure 5a, it is a schematic diagram of the user holding the phone with his left hand and operating with the index finger of the right hand (or other fingers of the right hand). The side area on the right side of the phone (the black area on the right side of the phone in the figure) is the volume adjustable area If this part is equipped with a pressure sensor, the pressure operation can be used as a trigger operation. The user can press or slide the right index finger in the adjustable area to adjust the volume without physical buttons. The specific operation process can be seen as shown in Figure 4. The description of the example will not be repeated here.

In the following, we will use the right thumb to operate in combination with a variety of specific scenarios, the sensing area is the pressure sensing area, and the volume of the mobile phone is triggered to adjust the volume of the mobile phone for detailed description.

Scenario 1 of this application

As shown in Figure 6a, the mobile phone is in a black screen state. If there is no music playing or making a call at this time, based on the consideration of power saving, the volume adjustment function can be turned off by default at this time. Of course, it can also be turned on by default or provide setting options for users to choose settings. If music is being played or a call is being made at this time, the user can use the trigger operation and adjustment operation in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 to realize the volume adjustment under the black screen. Optionally, the mobile phone may perform vibration feedback or sound feedback when the trigger is successful and/or adjustment, so that the user can more intuitively understand the effect of volume adjustment. For example, if the trigger is successful, it will vibrate once, and when the volume of the unit value is adjusted once, the vibration feedback or “beep” feedback will be heard. Of course, the user can also turn on or turn off this reminder function through setting options.

Scene two

The phone is in the lock screen state. If you do not play music or make a call at this time, based on the consideration of power saving, you can also choose to turn off the volume adjustment function by default at this time. Of course, it can also be turned on by default or provide setting options for users to choose settings. If you are playing music or making a call at this time, as shown in Figure 6b, the music is currently playing: When will the moon come, the user can pause the music or the previous/next song, or slide to unlock (slide to unlock only As an example, other unlocking methods such as face unlocking/password unlocking, etc. are similar), where the area between the dotted line and the solid line on the side of the mobile phone is the side area of the curved screen. In this state, the user can also use the trigger operation and the adjustment operation in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 to realize the volume adjustment under the lock screen. At this time, the volume adjustment panel as shown in the figure on the right side of FIG. 7a may not be displayed. Of course, you can also display a volume adjustment panel or provide setting options for users to choose settings. Optionally, the mobile phone may perform vibration feedback or sound feedback when the trigger is successful and/or adjustment, so that the user can more intuitively understand the effect of volume adjustment. For example, if the trigger is successful, it will vibrate once, and when the volume of the unit value is adjusted once, the vibration feedback or “beep” feedback will be heard. Of course, the user can also turn on or turn off this reminder function through setting options.

Scene three

Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 7a, the mobile phone is currently in a bright screen state, and the display interface is the main interface (the interface entered after unlocking). The main interface includes the upper status bar (including cellular network signal strength, operator identification, Wi-Fi network identification, battery power and time), there is a page containing multiple icons or widgets (including calendar, weather, and the icons schematically drawn in the picture, such as A, B, C, D, E, F), There is a permanent Dock bar below (including phone, address book, text message and camera). When the mobile phone receives a user's trigger operation, such as pressing the side area twice continuously, if the mobile phone recognizes a valid trigger operation, the volume adjustment panel can be popped up on the display interface. Optionally, for a more intuitive operation for the user, as shown in FIG. 7b, an adjustable area may be displayed on the side area of the curved screen.

It should be noted that there may be multiple trigger operations. For details, please refer to the description of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4. After any trigger operation is triggered, the right side drawing of FIG. 7a or the drawing shown in FIG. 7b can be displayed.

When the mobile phone receives a user’s trigger operation, such as pressing the side area twice continuously, the display interface When the volume adjustment panel and adjustable area pop up. If the mobile phone receives the user's adjustment operation such as sliding down, the sliding distance can be corresponded to the volume adjustment size by means of coordinate mapping, and converted into the sliding of the adjustment button on the volume adjustment panel. This adjustment method is a smooth stepless adjustment mode.

Optionally, the step-adjustment mode shown in Figure 8b can also be used. A dial is displayed in the adjustable area. The user slides once to generate a sliding event. The dial is scrolled by one grid, and the adjustment button of the corresponding volume adjustment panel slides. A certain distance, so as to realize the level adjustment mode of the volume. Comparing Fig. 8b and Fig. 7b, it can be seen that the stepless adjustment mode can realize the rapid adjustment of the volume more simply.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned adjusted volume may be the volume of the mobile phone system, and the volume may be applicable to all applications on the mobile phone. Of course, this application can also implement volume adjustment for a separate third-party application. For example, the call volume during a call, the video screen volume when watching a video, and the music volume when listening to music.

Scene five

Take the separate adjustment of the volume when playing music as an example. The adjustment of the volume when playing a video or call is similar. As shown in Fig. 9a, on the music playing interface of a third-party music application, if a user’s trigger operation is received in the side area, such as two consecutive presses, the volume adjustment panel of the third-party application may pop up. As shown in FIG. 9b, the user's adjustment operation gesture is received in the side area, and the volume of the third-party music application can be adjusted. Optionally, in order to be more intuitive, the volume parameters of the current music application can be displayed in the adjustable area for bubble display.

It should be noted that the above descriptions are made with the right hand as the common hand, and the display of the adjustable area/dial/bubble is displayed near the right hand side to achieve a better hand-following effect. If the user's left hand is a common hand, it can be displayed on the left side near the area where the user operates the finger, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In addition, the volume adjustment panel described in the embodiments of this application is only used as an example. In actual use, other function buttons can be added to the volume adjustment panel, such as those used to switch between the three modes of mute, vibration, and ringing. The switch button, the button to adjust the system volume alone, or the button to individually adjust the volume of the currently displayed application, etc., are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
