Description

 Description of the book Terminal and terminal touch control method

 The present invention relates to the field of touch control technologies, and in particular to a terminal and a touch control method for a terminal. Background technique

 In the related art, the operating system of the terminal or each application has its corresponding operation control, and the position of the operation control on the terminal interface is set by the developer of the system or the application, and thus the position often varies widely, and does not have Uniformity; and even the same operating system interface or the same application, the location of multiple controls is often scattered.

 As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, on the terminal interface, the content display area 304 and the function button area 302 are often included. In the content display area 304, content, information, and the like on the interface are displayed, and the user passes The function button area 302 of each interface operates some or all of the content in the content display area 304, but different interfaces often have different interface distribution forms, and the function button area 302 in the same interface may also be widely distributed (as shown in FIG. 3A). Or distributed in various areas of the interface (as shown in FIG. 3B), so that when operating the above operating system or application, the user usually needs to perform operations such as touch and click on a large range, and it is difficult to achieve fixed or small operation. (for example, within the coverage area of the palm or a single finger, without requiring a wide range of movement of the finger), it is impossible to achieve a single hand holding the terminal in the case of holding the terminal with one hand. Easy control with your fingers.

 Therefore, a new terminal touch technology is needed, and a unified integrated operation mode can be used to control different applications, thereby facilitating touch control of the terminal by one-hand operation. Summary of the invention

The invention is based on the above problems, and proposes a new terminal touch technology, which can realize control of different applications by using a unified integrated operation mode, thereby facilitating realization by one-hand operation. Touch control of the terminal.

 In view of this, the present invention provides a terminal, including: an area setting unit, configured to set at least one integrated control area at a predetermined position on the terminal interface; and a control unit, configured to perform touch according to the integrated control area The action generates a corresponding touch command to control the terminal.

 In this technical solution, by integrating the functions of the operation, the user does not need to find a control button or a control area at different positions of the entire terminal interface, and all the operations that can be performed for the current interface or the terminal can be performed in the integrated control area. , user-friendly operation process. Specifically, the operation function of the different interfaces of the terminal or the existing function control may be acquired, and then all or a specified part of the operation function or the function control (usually commonly used by the user may be preset by the manufacturer or the user Define the setting), you can set the corresponding virtual button in the integrated control area, so that when the virtual button is selected, the user can also realize the original operation function, or when the user draws the corresponding gesture track in the integrated control area. After that, the original function can also be realized. Since the current interface is a standby interface or a function interface of an application, an integrated control area can be displayed on the terminal interface, and a virtual button or a gesture trajectory of the user is displayed in the integrated control area, thereby realizing the current The control of the interface does not have to be based on the changes and differences of the interface, so that the user has to select the function buttons at different positions on the screen, and the user operation is completed. The predetermined location here can be the system default or the default zone set by the user. The integrated control area here can be single or multiple, and can be set or automatically adjusted according to the user's settings, the number of currently required operational functions. It should be noted that the "setting" here does not mean that it must be displayed, as long as the user can receive the touch command.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: a first triggering unit, configured to receive an integrated control area triggering command; and a triggering processing unit, configured to: according to the integrated control area triggering command received by the first triggering unit, The integrated control area is displayed on the terminal interface, and/or the integrated control area that has been displayed is hidden.

In the technical solution, the integrated control area can always be displayed on the terminal interface, and when the terminal interface is switched, the content in the integrated control area is also updated; the integrated control area can also be displayed after being triggered by the user. Come out, so that the user can get the largest display area before the operation; also can hide the integrated control area at any time, which is also beneficial to the user. Observation and use.

 In the above technical solution, preferably, the integrated control area triggering command received by the first triggering unit includes at least one of the following or a combination thereof: the terminal interface is touched, and the terminal interface is pressed for more than a preset first time threshold, a time when the designated area of the terminal interface is focused by the user's line of sight exceeds a preset second time threshold, a designated physical button on the terminal is pressed, and the terminal interface receives and pre-predicts A gesture pattern matching the pattern and a preset identifier on the terminal interface are selected.

 In this technical solution, when different users want to operate on the current interface or the like, some similar or similar operations are often performed, and it is convenient to set one or more of these operations as a triggering command issuing process. Make a correct judgment on the user's operation.

 In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: an attribute setting unit, configured to set the integrated control area at a position of the first touch point sensed by the terminal interface.

 In the technical solution, the first touch point is not only the first touch point sensed by the terminal interface, but must be triggered when the user triggers the terminal to activate the integrated control area, for example, by using a long press terminal interface. The pressing time must exceed the preset first time threshold, so that the terminal determines that the triggering command is received, the first touch point corresponding to the triggering action can be acquired, and the first touch point is used as the first touch point. . In particular, for the manner of judging that the time when the designated area of the terminal interface is focused by the line of sight of the user exceeds the preset second time threshold, it is apparent that the user's line of sight is first focused when determining that the terminal is triggered. The point serves as the first touch point.

 In the above technical solution, preferably, the attribute setting unit is further configured to: set a shape and/or a size of the integrated control area according to a position of the first touch point on the terminal interface.

In the technical solution, if the first touch point is located in the middle of the terminal interface, for example, the integrated control area is a disc shape, the integrated control area can be fully displayed, that is, the entire disc is displayed; The point is located at the bottom corner of the terminal interface, then the integrated control area can be changed to 1/4 disc shape; if the first touch point is located on the side of the terminal interface, the integrated control area can be changed into a half disc shape. By changing the shape, size, etc. of the integrated control area, the user is better able to obtain a better operating experience. In the above technical solution, preferably, the area setting unit is configured to: display at least one preset virtual button in the integrated control area and/or sense a gesture track drawn in the integrated control area; The manipulation unit is configured to: when the at least one virtual button is selected and/or the gesture track matches the preset track, generate a corresponding touch command.

 In the technical solution, on the one hand, a virtual button for each part originally distributed on the interface, or an option originally in a hidden menu (a menu that needs to be called out by other virtual keys or physical buttons), among which Some or all of them can be turned into virtual buttons in the integrated control area. By directly operating these virtual buttons in the integrated control area, the functions of the virtual buttons or hidden menus that are originally distributed throughout the interface can be realized. On the other hand, gesture operations can also be performed, and the gesture commands here can obviously be used to implement the control functions of the operating system, the program operation functions of the application or application function interface, and the user-defined functions.

 In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: a system function detecting unit, configured to detect a control function of an operating system of the terminal; and a button setting unit, configured to detect at least one control function detected by the system function detecting unit Set as a virtual button in the integrated control area.

 In this technical solution, the terminal provides operation functions and the like for each application through hardware and an operating system, which may be different, but for all applications, based on the level of the operating system, there will be some generalizations. Control functions such as screen brightness, volume, exit, recall of system menus, etc. These controls provide an interface to all applications for unified control of these applications. These control functions can be used as corresponding virtual buttons in all integrated control areas corresponding to the specified application.

In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: a program function detecting unit, configured to detect at least one operation interface of the terminal, and a program operation function for each of the operation interfaces; an associated storage unit, configured to The at least one operation interface is associated with the program operation function; the button setting unit is configured to acquire an associated program operation function according to the current operation interface where the integrated control area is located, and associate the associated operation function The program operation function is set to a virtual button in the integrated control area. Because the functions that need to be implemented are different, the corresponding operation control methods are also different. Therefore, each application or each application function interface and the corresponding program operation function can be pre-associated and stored, and then when the user enters After an operation interface, the program operation functions corresponding to the operation interface can be found, and the program operation functions are set as corresponding virtual buttons in the integrated control area.

 In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: a function customization unit, configured to customize the associated function of the at least one virtual button in the integrated control area according to the received custom command.

 In this technical solution, the user can set the function corresponding to the virtual button in the integrated control area to match his own operating habits and operation modes, thereby achieving a better operating experience. The virtual buttons that are customized here may be virtual buttons that are originally vacant, or may have some corresponding functions, such as corresponding to system functions or program operation functions, which can be set by the user.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: an association storage unit, configured to associate at least one operation interface of the terminal with the preset trajectory; a gesture setting unit, configured to use, according to the integrated control area The current operation interface is located, and the associated preset track is acquired to match the gesture track sensed by the integrated control area.

 In this technical solution, for each operation interface, there are different operation functions, and all operation interfaces will contain many operation functions. If a preset track is set for each operation function, the preset track number must be Numerous and complex shapes, users will be difficult to remember, difficult to operate, and easily cause misuse. Therefore, only a few commonly used trajectories can be associated with the functions of each operation interface, and the same gesture trajectory can implement different operation functions on different interfaces, which is convenient for the user to remember and use the gesture trajectory.

 In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: an operation area setting unit, configured to set an associated operation area for each of the virtual keys; and a blur processing unit, configured to receive the associated operation area The operation command acts as an operation for the virtual button.

In this technical solution, the virtual keys are often presented in the form of icons. Due to the limitation of the size of the terminal screen, the area of the icons is limited, and thus the user may not be able to cover the icon and cause a misoperation. Therefore, for each virtual button, a corresponding operating area can be set. Domain, this operation area can be slightly larger than the area of the icon itself, so that even if the virtual button is not clicked, but the operation area is clicked, it can still be considered that the virtual button is operated, thereby reducing the user misoperation rate.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: a touch area acquiring unit, configured to acquire the touch action in each case when a touch action is simultaneously detected in an operation area of the plurality of virtual keys The touch processing area is further configured to: compare all touch areas, and if there is a maximum touch area, determine that the touch action is for corresponding to the maximum touch area For the operation of the virtual button, if all the touch areas are equal, the plurality of virtual buttons that sense the touch action are marked, or the touch action is ignored.

 In the technical solution, when the user performs a touch operation, for example, using a finger to click on the terminal screen, the contact surface of the finger and the screen may belong to the operation area of the plurality of virtual keys at the same time, so that the system actually operates the user's intention. It is difficult to judge, perform wrong application functions, and even cause system paralysis. Since the user is clicking, the contact surface will be closer to the virtual button that the user wishes to operate. Therefore, in the operation area of the virtual button, a larger touch area is formed, thereby being able to Better guess the user's operational intent. When marking a plurality of virtual buttons that sense a touch action, the virtual buttons may be changed in color, size, and the like, and the mark icons may be added to the virtual buttons, and the functions may be generated as a list. , display on the screen for the user to make further selection confirmation.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: a first timing unit, configured to record an interval between the plurality of touch actions continuously detected by the touch sensing unit; and a blur processing unit, configured to be at the interval When the time is less than the preset first time threshold, the touch sensing unit is controlled to record a gesture track corresponding to the multiple touch actions.

In this technical solution, sometimes the user may have some unexpected pauses when performing gesture sliding, or some gestures may be multi-segmented in some cases. If the user leaves the screen when the user operates, the system may be mistakenly judged to be executed first. A gesture. By setting the time interval, the above-mentioned unexpected situation can be eliminated, and it is also advantageous to set more complicated gesture commands, especially for the user-defined manner, which can achieve better security functions by more complicated gesture commands. In the above technical solution, the method further includes: a starting point determining unit, configured to determine whether a starting point of the gesture track is located in the integrated control area; and an analog processing unit, configured to determine, by the starting point determining unit, that In the case of YES, it is determined that the gesture trajectory is drawn for the integrated control area.

 In this technical solution, the area of the integrated control area is limited. If the operation of the gesture track is performed, the user is likely to draw an integrated control area, and if the gesture control is only collected for the integrated control area, misjudgment may occur. Users often draw gesture trajectories from a given area on the screen (which is often displayed as a preset area for the touch area). Although the integrated control area may be drawn, the starting point is often from that area. Therefore, if the gesture track starts from the integrated control area, all the acquisitions can be collected regardless of whether the gesture track is drawn out of the integrated control area, thereby avoiding false positives.

 In the above technical solution, preferably, the gesture track includes a first portion located in the integrated control area and a second portion located outside the integrated control area, and the terminal further includes: an area ratio calculation unit, Calculating an area ratio of the first portion and the second portion; a ratio determining unit, configured to determine whether the area ratio value meets a preset ratio threshold; the blur processing unit is further configured to: in the ratio determining unit If the result of the determination is yes, the gesture track is processed, otherwise the gesture track is determined to be an erroneous operation.

 In this technical solution, the user often draws a gesture command in a given area on the screen, and normally, most of the trajectory of the corresponding gesture trajectory should be in the area, and only a part is outside the area, so The area ratio of the trajectory inside or outside the integrated control area can be judged. If the preset proportional threshold is not met, for example, at least 50% is in the integrated control area, the gesture trajectory may be a user error operation. Can be ignored.

 In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: the integrated control area is semi-transparent and appears above the display content of the terminal interface.

In the technical solution, the "emergence" here refers to "superimposing" or stacking the content of the integrated control area and the original content on the terminal interface, and it can be considered that the content of the integrated control area and the terminal interface at this time is different. The display layer, wherein the integrated control area is at the upper layer, and the content of the terminal interface is at the lower layer, and the user's operation (moving, zooming, etc., excluding the function operation) for the upper layer does not affect the content of the lower layer, and the operation of the lower layer content (such as switching interface, more Changing the application, etc.) does not affect the content of the upper layer. Through this integrated display area of the integrated control area. Of course, the specific transparency of the integrated control area here can obviously be set by the user.

 In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: an attribute configuration unit, configured to configure an attribute of the integrated control area according to a configuration command received by the terminal and/or a detected real-time status of the terminal.

 In the technical solution, the configuration command may be issued when the setting is performed in advance, and is used to implement the corresponding effect when the integrated control area is triggered later; or the integrated control area may be after the integrated control area has been set. Perform real-time adjustments, such as holding the area to move the position, and multi-touch to achieve area zooming. In addition, when the terminal is in different states, such as vertical placement or horizontal placement (which can be detected by a gravity sensor or the like), whether the user holds the left hand or the right hand (can be detected by a temperature sensor or the like), etc., The properties of the integrated control area are adjusted to give the user the best possible operating experience.

 In the above technical solution, preferably, the real-time status includes: a current operation interface content on the terminal screen, a current spatial state of the terminal, and/or a manner in which the terminal is held; the integrated control area The attributes include: a shape of the integrated control area, a number of the integrated control areas, a display position on the terminal interface, and/or displayed content.

 In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: when the terminal is held by one hand, configuring, by the attribute configuration unit, an attribute of the integrated control area, so that an attribute of the integrated control area is preset The range of attribute thresholds.

 In this technical solution, by setting the attributes such as the shape, size, position and the like of the integrated control area, the user is facilitated to perform one-hand operation, especially when holding the terminal by one hand, using the thumb of the hand holding the terminal. Operation, for example, when the terminal is held by the right hand, the corresponding integrated control area may be located at the lower right corner of the terminal, which is 1/4 disk-shaped, and the radius of the disk is not greater than the length of the user's thumb, so that The user can complete the operation of the current interface with the thumb.

In the above technical solution, the method further includes: a second triggering unit, configured to receive a function description area triggering command; and a function description information display unit, configured to receive at the second triggering unit In the case that the function description area triggers the command, at least one function description area is set on the terminal interface.

 In this technical solution, since the user may have doubts about the operation mode, the setting process, the operation function corresponding to each virtual button or the gesture command, etc. when the user uses the one-hand manipulation zone, the corresponding function description information may be performed. prompt. In order to distinguish it from the normal operation, it can be set to other trigger modes. Specifically, the user can press and hold a certain area, for example, the area is a virtual button, and in the corresponding function description area, the virtual The function, the operation mode, and the setting mode of the button are described. Specifically, the function description information may be one or more of various forms such as text and image, and the function description area has shapes, sizes, transparency, and the like. , obviously, it can also be set by the user.

 In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: the function description area is located at a top of the terminal interface or in the integrated control area.

 In this technical solution, in order not to affect the user's viewing of other content on the terminal interface, the function description area may be blocked as much as possible. Therefore, the status information bar at the top of the terminal interface may be set, or Set in the integrated control area, for example, the integrated control area is a disc-shaped, the outermost ring is a ring composed of a plurality of virtual buttons, and the inner side is a circular touch area for receiving a gesture track of the user, In the inner circular touch area, the function description information is displayed.

 According to still another aspect of the present invention, a touch control method of a terminal is further provided, including: setting at least one integrated control area at a predetermined position on the terminal interface; generating corresponding according to the touch action sensed by the integrated control area Touch commands to control the terminal.

In this technical solution, by integrating the functions of the operation, the user does not need to find a control button or a control area at different positions of the entire terminal interface, and all the operations that can be performed for the current interface or the terminal can be performed in the integrated control area. , user-friendly operation process. Specifically, the operation function of the different interfaces of the terminal or the existing function control may be acquired, and then all or a specified part of the operation function or the function control (usually commonly used by the user may be preset by the manufacturer or the user Define the setting), you can set the corresponding virtual button in the integrated control area, so that when the virtual button is selected, the user can also realize the original operation function, or when the user draws the corresponding gesture track in the integrated control area. After that, it can also be The original function. Since the current interface is a standby interface or a function interface of an application, an integrated control area can be displayed on the terminal interface, and a virtual button or a gesture trajectory of the user is displayed in the integrated control area, thereby realizing the current The control of the interface does not have to be based on the changes and differences of the interface, so that the user has to select the function buttons at different positions on the screen, and the user operation is completed. The predetermined location here can be the system default or the default zone set by the user. The integrated control area here can be single or multiple, and can be set or automatically adjusted according to the user's settings, the number of currently required operational functions. It should be noted that the "setting" here does not mean that it must be displayed, as long as the user can receive the touch command.

 In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: displaying the integrated control area on the terminal interface according to the received integrated control area triggering command, and/or hiding the displayed integrated control area.

 In the technical solution, the integrated control area can always be displayed on the terminal interface, and when the terminal interface is switched, the content in the integrated control area is also updated; the integrated control area can also be displayed after being triggered by the user. Come out, so that the user can get the largest display area before the operation; also can hide the integrated control area at any time, which is also beneficial for the user's observation and use.

Carry out, user-friendly operation process. Specifically, the operation function of the terminal 100A in different interfaces or the existing function control may be acquired, and then all or a specified part of the operation function or the function control (usually used by the user, may be preset by the manufacturer or the user) Custom setting), you can set the corresponding virtual button in the integrated control area, so that when the virtual button is selected, the user can also realize the original operation function, or when the user draws the corresponding gesture in the integrated control area. After the track, the original function can also be realized. Since the current interface is a standby interface or a function interface of an application, an integrated control area can be displayed on the terminal interface, and a virtual button or a gesture trajectory of the user is displayed in the integrated control area, thereby realizing the current The control of the interface does not have to be based on the changes and differences of the interface, so that the user has to select the function buttons at different positions on the screen, and the user operation is completed. The predetermined location here can be the system default or user settings The default area. The integrated control area here can be single or multiple, and can be set or automatically adjusted according to the user's settings, the number of currently required operational functions. It should be noted that the "setting" here does not mean that it must be displayed, as long as the user can receive the touch command.

 In the technical solution, the integrated control area can always be displayed on the terminal interface, and when the terminal interface is switched, the content in the integrated control area is also updated; the integrated control area can also be displayed after being triggered by the user. Come out, so that the user can get the largest display area before the operation; also can hide the integrated control area at any time, which is also beneficial for the user's observation and use.

 In the foregoing technical solution, before the first trigger unit 105 receives the integrated control area trigger command, the process of the terminal 100A being triggered includes at least one of the following or a combination thereof: the terminal interface is touched, and the terminal interface is pressed for more than a preset time. The first time threshold, the designated area of the terminal interface is focused by the user's line of sight for more than a preset second time threshold, the designated physical button on the terminal 100A is pressed, and the terminal interface receives the gesture pattern matching the preset pattern, The preset ID on the terminal interface is selected.

 In this technical solution, when different users want to operate on the current interface or the like, some similar or similar operations are often performed, and it is convenient to set one or more of these operations as a triggering command issuing process. Make a correct judgment on the user's operation.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: an attribute setting unit 109, configured to set the integrated control area at a position of the first touch point sensed by the terminal interface.

In the technical solution, the first touch point is not only the first touch point sensed by the terminal interface, but must be triggered when the user triggers the terminal to activate the integrated control area, for example, by using a long press terminal interface. The pressing time must exceed the preset first time threshold, so that the terminal determines that the triggering command is received, the first touch point corresponding to the triggering action can be acquired, and the first touch point is used as the first touch point. . In particular, for the designated area using the terminal interface The way in which the time in which the field is focused by the user's line of sight exceeds the preset second time threshold value is obviously determined as the first touch point when the terminal is triggered to determine the point at which the user's line of sight is first focused.

 In the above technical solution, the attribute setting unit 109 is further configured to: set the shape and/or size of the integrated control area according to the position of the first touch point on the terminal interface.

 In the above technical solution, the area setting unit 102 is configured to: display at least one preset virtual button in the integrated control area; and the control unit 104 includes: a determining subunit 1042, configured to determine whether at least one virtual button is selected; The command generation subunit 1044 is configured to generate a touch command corresponding to the selected virtual button.

 In this technical solution, some or all of the functions of the virtual buttons that are originally distributed on the interface, or the options in the hidden menu (the menu that needs to be called by other virtual buttons or physical buttons) It can be turned into a virtual button in the integrated control area, and the functions of the virtual buttons or hidden menus that are originally distributed throughout the interface can be realized by directly operating the virtual buttons in the integrated control area.

 In the above technical solution, the system function detecting unit 106 is configured to detect a control function of the operating system of the terminal 100A, and the button setting unit 108 is configured to set at least one control function detected by the system function detecting unit 106 to be integrated. Virtual buttons in the control area.

 In this technical solution, the terminal 100A may be different for each application mode, operation function, etc. through hardware and an operating system, but for all applications, based on the level of the operating system, there may be some Common control functions, such as screen brightness, volume, exit, recall system menus, etc. These controls provide an interface to all applications for unified control of these applications. These control functions can be used as corresponding virtual buttons in all integrated control areas corresponding to the specified application.

In the above technical solution, the method further includes: a program function detecting unit 110, configured to detect at least one operation interface in the terminal 100A, and a program operation function for each operation interface; an association storage unit 112, configured to use at least one operation interface And the program operation function is associated with the storage; the button setting unit 108 is configured to acquire an associated program operation function according to the current operation interface where the integrated control area is located, and set the associated program operation function into the integrated control area. Virtual button. Because the functions that need to be implemented are different, the corresponding operation control methods are also different. Therefore, each application or each application function interface and the corresponding program operation function can be pre-associated and stored, and then when the user enters After an operation interface, the program operation functions corresponding to the operation interface can be found, and the program operation functions are set as corresponding virtual buttons in the integrated control area.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: a function customization unit 114, configured to perform custom setting on an association function of at least one virtual button in the integrated control area according to the received custom command.

 In this technical solution, the user can set the function corresponding to the virtual button in the integrated control area to match his own operating habits and operation modes, thereby achieving a better operating experience. The virtual buttons that are customized here may be virtual buttons that are originally vacant, or may have some corresponding functions, such as corresponding to system functions or program operation functions, which can be set by the user.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: an operation area setting unit, configured to set an associated operation area for each virtual button; and a fuzzy processing unit 1 18, configured to use the operation command received by the associated operation area as a virtual Button operation.

 In this technical solution, virtual keys are often presented in the form of icons. Due to the limitation of the size of the terminal screen, the area of the icons is limited, which often causes the user to not cover the icon and cause misoperation. Therefore, for each virtual button, a corresponding operation area can be set, and the operation area can be slightly larger than the area of the icon itself, so that even if the virtual button is not clicked, the operation area can be clicked, and the virtual button can still be considered as The operation reduces the user's misoperation rate.

In the above technical solution, the method further includes: a touch area acquiring unit, configured to acquire a touch area of the touch action in each operation area when a touch action is simultaneously detected in an operation area of the plurality of virtual buttons And the blur processing unit 118 is further configured to: compare all the touch areas, and if there is a maximum touch area, determine that the touch action is an operation for the virtual button corresponding to the maximum touch area, if all the touch areas Equally equal, more sense of touch action A virtual button to mark, or ignore the touch action.

 In the technical solution, when the user performs a touch operation, for example, using a finger to click on the terminal screen, the contact surface of the finger and the screen may belong to the operation area of the plurality of virtual keys at the same time, so that the system actually operates the user's intention. It is difficult to judge, perform wrong application functions, and even cause system paralysis. Since the user is clicking, the contact surface will be closer to the virtual button that the user wishes to operate. Therefore, in the operation area of the virtual button, a larger touch area is formed, thereby being able to Better guess the user's operational intent. When marking a plurality of virtual buttons that sense a touch action, the virtual buttons may be changed in color, size, and the like, and the mark icons may be added to the virtual buttons, and the functions may be generated as a list. , display on the screen for the user to make further selection confirmation.

 In addition to using the virtual buttons in the integrated control area for control, other control methods may be employed, such as receiving user gesture commands in the integrated control area for corresponding control, as shown in FIG. 1B.

 As shown in FIG. 1B, the terminal 100B according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: an area setting unit 102, configured to set at least one integrated control area at a predetermined position on the terminal interface; and a manipulation unit 104, configured to sense according to the integrated control area The touch action to generate a corresponding touch command to control the terminal 100B.

 In the technical solution, by integrating the functions of the operation, the user does not need to find a control button or a control area at different positions of the entire terminal interface, and all the operations that can be performed for the current interface or the terminal 100B can be in the integrated control area. Carry out, user-friendly operation process. The predetermined location here may be a system default or a default area set by the user, and no matter what interface the terminal 100B is currently located, when the user triggers, the integrated control area may be called out in the area. The integrated control area here can be single or multiple, and can be set or automatically adjusted according to the user's settings, the number of currently required operational functions. It should be noted that the "setting" here does not mean that it must be displayed, as long as the user can receive the touch command.

In the above technical solution, the method further includes: a first triggering unit 105, configured to receive an integrated control area triggering command; and a trigger processing unit 107, configured to trigger a command according to the received integrated control area before setting the integrated control area on the terminal interface , displaying the integrated control area on the terminal interface, And/or after the setting of the integrated control area has been completed on the terminal interface, the integrated control area hidden for display is hidden according to the received integrated control area trigger command.

 In the technical solution, the integrated control area can always be displayed on the terminal interface, and when the terminal interface is switched, the content in the integrated control area is also updated; the integrated control area can also be displayed after being triggered by the user. Come out, so that the user can get the largest display area before the operation; also can hide the integrated control area at any time, which is also beneficial for the user's observation and use.

 In the foregoing technical solution, before the first trigger unit 105 receives the integrated control area trigger command, the process of the terminal 100B being triggered includes at least one of the following or a combination thereof: the terminal interface is touched, and the terminal interface is pressed for more than a preset time. The first time threshold, the designated area of the terminal interface is focused by the user's line of sight for more than a preset second time threshold, the designated physical button on the terminal 100B is pressed, the terminal interface receives the gesture pattern matching the preset pattern, The preset ID on the terminal interface is selected.

 In this technical solution, when the user wants to operate on the current interface or the like, some similar or similar operations are often performed, and by setting one or more of these operations as the triggering command issuance process, it is convenient to The user's operation makes a correct judgment.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: an attribute setting unit 109, configured to set the integrated control area at a position of the first touch point sensed by the terminal interface.

 In the technical solution, the first touch point is not only the first touch point sensed by the terminal interface, but must be triggered when the user triggers the terminal to activate the integrated control area, for example, by using a long press terminal interface. The pressing time must exceed the preset first time threshold, so that the terminal determines that the triggering command is received, the first touch point corresponding to the triggering action can be acquired, and the first touch point is used as the first touch point. . In particular, for the manner of judging that the time when the designated area of the terminal interface is focused by the line of sight of the user exceeds the preset second time threshold, it is apparent that the user's line of sight is first focused when determining that the terminal is triggered. The point serves as the first touch point.

 In the above technical solution, the attribute setting unit 109 is further configured to: set the shape and/or size of the integrated control area according to the position of the first touch point on the terminal interface.

In the above technical solution, the method further includes: a touch sensing unit 134, in the sensing integrated control area a gesture trajectory; the gesture matching unit 136 determines whether the gesture trajectory sensed by the touch sensing unit 134 matches the preset trajectory; and the manipulation unit 104 is specifically configured to: if the matching result of the gesture matching unit 136 is YES , generates a touch command corresponding to the preset track.

 In this technical solution, in addition to generating a virtual button, a gesture operation can also be performed, and the gesture command here can obviously be used to implement a control function of an operating system, a program operation function of an application or an application function interface, and a user-defined function. Features.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: an association storage unit 112, configured to associate at least one operation interface in the terminal 100B with a preset trajectory; a gesture setting unit 122, configured to: according to a current operation interface where the integrated control area is located , Get the associated preset track to match the gesture track sensed by the integrated control area.

 In this technical solution, for each operation interface, there are different operation functions, and all operation interfaces will contain many operation functions. If a preset track is set for each operation function, the preset track number must be Numerous and complex shapes, users will be difficult to remember, difficult to operate, and easily cause misuse. Therefore, only a few commonly used trajectories can be associated with the functions of each operation interface, and the same gesture trajectory can implement different operation functions on different interfaces, which is convenient for the user to remember and use the gesture trajectory.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: a first timing unit, configured to record an interval between the plurality of touch actions continuously sensed by the touch sensing unit 134; the blur processing unit 118, configured to use the interval time less than the preset time At the first time threshold, the touch sensing unit 134 is controlled to record a gesture track corresponding to the plurality of touch actions.

 In this technical solution, sometimes the user may have some unexpected pauses when performing gesture sliding, or some gestures may be multi-segmented in some cases. If the user leaves the screen when the user operates, the system may be mistakenly judged to be executed first. A gesture. By setting the time interval, the above-mentioned unexpected situation can be eliminated, and it is also advantageous to set more complicated gesture commands, especially for the user-defined manner, which can achieve better security functions by more complicated gesture commands.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: a starting point determining unit 140, configured to determine whether a starting point of the gesture track is located in the integrated control area; and the simulation processing unit 118 is configured to determine, when the determination result of the starting point determining unit 140 is yes, Gesture trajectories are drawn for the integrated control area.

In this technical solution, the area of the integrated control area is limited, and if the gesture track is operated, It is highly probable that the user will draw an integrated control area, and if only the acquisition of the gesture command is performed on the integrated control area, misjudgment may occur. Users often draw gesture trajectories from a given area on the screen (which is often displayed as a preset area for the touch area). Although the integrated control area may be drawn, the starting point is often from that area. Therefore, if the gesture track starts from the integrated control area, all the acquisitions can be collected regardless of whether the gesture track is drawn out of the integrated control area, thereby avoiding false positives.

 In the above technical solution, the gesture track includes a first portion located in the integrated control area and a second portion located outside the integrated control area, and the terminal 100B further includes: an area ratio calculating unit 142, configured to calculate the first part and the second part The area ratio value is used to determine whether the area ratio value meets the preset ratio threshold value; the blur processing unit 118 is further configured to: if the judgment result of the ratio value determining unit 144 is yes, process the gesture track, otherwise The gesture track is determined to be a misoperation.

 In this technical solution, the user often draws a gesture command in a given area on the screen, and normally, most of the trajectory of the corresponding gesture trajectory should be in the area, and only a part is outside the area, so The area ratio of the trajectory inside or outside the integrated control area can be judged. If the preset proportional threshold is not met, for example, at least 50% is in the integrated control area, the gesture trajectory may be a user error operation. Can be ignored.

 In the above, the terminal 100A shown in FIG. 1A can implement the control process by setting a virtual button. The terminal 100B shown in FIG. 1B can implement the control process by acquiring the gesture command of the user, but both terminals can only implement a single type. In this way, in fact, the two control modes can be included by one terminal at the same time, as shown in FIG. 1C.

In the technical solution, the "emergence" here refers to "superimposing" or stacking the content of the integrated control area and the original content on the terminal interface, and it can be considered that the content of the integrated control area and the terminal interface at this time is different. The display layer, wherein the integrated control area is in the upper layer, the content of the terminal interface is in the lower layer, and the user operates on the upper layer (moving, zooming, etc., excluding the function operation) Does not affect the content of the lower layer, and the operation of the lower layer content (such as switching interfaces, changing applications, etc.) will not affect the content of the upper layer. Through this integrated display area of the integrated control area. Of course, the specific transparency of the integrated control area here can obviously be set by the user.

Perform real-time adjustments, such as holding the area to move the position, and multi-touch to achieve area zooming. In addition, when the terminal is in different states, such as vertical placement or horizontal placement (which can be detected by a gravity sensor or the like), whether the user holds the left hand or the right hand (can be detected by a temperature sensor or the like), etc., The properties of the integrated control area are adjusted to give the user the best possible operating experience.

 In any of the above technical solutions, the real-time status includes: the current operation interface content on the terminal screen, the current spatial state of the terminal, and/or the manner in which the terminal is held; the attributes of the integrated control area include: shape, integration of the integrated control area The number of control zones, the display location on the terminal interface, and/or the content displayed.

 In any one of the foregoing technical solutions, the method further includes: when the terminal is held by one hand, the attribute configuration unit 126 configures the attribute of the integrated control area, so that the attribute of the integrated control area is in a preset attribute threshold range.

 In the technical solution, if the first touch point is located in the middle of the terminal interface, for example, the integrated control area is a disc shape, the integrated control area can be fully displayed, that is, the entire disc is displayed; The point is located at the bottom corner of the terminal interface, then the integrated control area can be changed to 1/4 disc shape; if the first touch point is located on the side of the terminal interface, the integrated control area can be changed into a half disc shape. By changing the shape, size, etc. of the integrated control area, the user is better able to obtain a better operating experience.

 As shown in FIG. 2B, in the above technical solution, in step 204, the process of the integrated control area sensing the touch action may include: Step 204A, at least one preset virtual button displayed in the integrated control area is selected.

 In this technical solution, some or all of the functions of the virtual buttons that are originally distributed on the interface, or the options in the hidden menu (the menu that needs to be called by other virtual buttons or physical buttons) It can be turned into a virtual button in the integrated control area, and the functions of the virtual buttons or hidden menus that are originally distributed throughout the interface can be realized by directly operating the virtual buttons in the integrated control area.

 In the above technical solution, before displaying the virtual button, the method further includes: Step 2002A: detecting a control function of the operating system of the terminal, and setting at least one control function of the operating system as a virtual button in the integrated control area.

In this technical solution, the terminal provides services for each application through hardware and an operating system. Operational functions, etc., may vary, but for all applications, based on the level of the operating system, there will be some common control functions, such as screen brightness, volume, exit, recall system menu, etc. Control functions provide an interface to all applications to achieve unified control of these applications. These control functions can be used as corresponding virtual buttons in all integrated control areas corresponding to the specified application.

 In the foregoing technical solution, before displaying the virtual key, the method further includes: Step 2002B, acquiring at least one operation interface in the terminal, and a program operation function for each operation interface; Step 2004, operating at least one operation interface and the program The function performs associative storage; and step 2006 obtains an associated program operation function according to the current operation interface where the integrated control area is located, and sets the associated program operation function as a virtual button in the integrated control area. Because the functions that need to be implemented are different, the corresponding operation control methods are also different. Therefore, each application or each application function interface and the corresponding program operation function can be pre-associated and stored, and then when the user enters After an operation interface, the program operation functions corresponding to the operation interface can be found, and the program operation functions are set as corresponding virtual buttons in the integrated control area.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: Step 2002C, performing custom setting on an association function of at least one virtual button in the integrated control area according to the received custom command.

 In this technical solution, the user can set the function corresponding to the virtual button in the integrated control area to match his own operating habits and operation modes, thereby achieving a better operating experience. The virtual buttons that are customized here may be virtual buttons that are originally vacant, or may have some corresponding functions, such as corresponding to system functions or program operation functions, which can be set by the user.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: each virtual button is provided with an associated operation area, and the operation command received by the associated operation area is used as an operation for the virtual button.

In this technical solution, the virtual keys are often presented in the form of icons. Due to the limitation of the size of the terminal screen, the area of the icons is limited, and thus the user may not be able to cover the icon and cause a misoperation. Therefore, for each virtual button, a corresponding operating area can be set. Domain, this operation area can be slightly larger than the area of the icon itself, so that even if the virtual button is not clicked, but the operation area is clicked, it can still be considered that the virtual button is operated, thereby reducing the user misoperation rate.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: when the operation area of the plurality of virtual buttons simultaneously senses a touch action, obtaining a touch area of the touch action in each operation area, and if there is a maximum touch area, determining The touch action is an operation for the virtual button corresponding to the maximum touch area. If all the touch areas are equal, the plurality of virtual buttons that sense the touch action are marked, or the touch action is ignored.

 In the technical solution, when the user performs a touch operation, for example, using a finger to click on the terminal screen, the contact surface of the finger and the screen may belong to the operation area of the plurality of virtual keys at the same time, so that the system actually operates the user's intention. It is difficult to judge, perform wrong application functions, and even cause system paralysis. Since the user is clicking, the contact surface will be closer to the virtual button that the user wishes to operate. Therefore, in the operation area of the virtual button, a larger touch area is formed, thereby being able to Better guess the user's operational intent. When marking a plurality of virtual buttons that sense a touch action, the virtual buttons may be changed in color, size, and the like, and the mark icons may be added to the virtual buttons, and the functions may be generated as a list. , display on the screen for the user to make further selection confirmation.

 In the above technical solution, in step 204, the process of the integrated control area sensing the touch action may further include: Step 204B: sensing a gesture track that is matched in the integrated control area and matched with the preset track, to generate and pre- Set the touch command corresponding to the track.

 In this technical solution, in addition to generating a virtual button, a gesture operation can also be performed, and the gesture command here can obviously be used to implement a control function of an operating system, a program operation function of an application or an application function interface, and a user-defined function. Features.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: associating at least one operation interface in the terminal with the preset trajectory; acquiring an associated preset trajectory according to the current operation interface where the integrated control area is located, to sense the integrated control area The gesture trajectories are matched.

In this technical solution, for each operation interface, there are different operation functions, and all operation interfaces will contain many operation functions, and if a preset track is set for each operation function, Traces, the preset trajectories must be numerous and complex in shape, and the user will be difficult to remember, difficult to operate, and easily cause misoperation. Therefore, only a few commonly used trajectories can be associated with the functions of each operation interface, and the same gesture trajectory can implement different operation functions on different interfaces, which is convenient for the user to remember and use the gesture trajectory.

 In the above technical solution, the process of the integrated control area sensing the touch action further includes: if the interval between the multiple touch actions is less than the preset first time threshold, recording a gesture corresponding to the multiple touch actions Track.

 In this technical solution, sometimes the user may have some unexpected pauses when performing gesture sliding, or some gestures may be multi-segmented in some cases. If the user leaves the screen when the user operates, the system may be mistakenly judged to be executed first. A gesture. By setting the time interval, the above-mentioned unexpected situation can be eliminated, and it is also advantageous to set more complicated gesture commands, especially for the user-defined manner, which can achieve better security functions by more complicated gesture commands.

 In the above technical solution, if the starting point of the gesture track is located in the integrated control area, it is determined that the hand trajectory is drawn for the integrated control area.

 In this technical solution, the area of the integrated control area is limited. If the operation of the gesture track is performed, the user is likely to draw an integrated control area, and if the gesture control is only collected for the integrated control area, misjudgment may occur. Users often draw gesture trajectories from a given area on the screen (which is often displayed as a preset area for the touch area). Although the integrated control area may be drawn, the starting point is often from that area. Therefore, if the gesture track starts from the integrated control area, all the acquisitions can be collected regardless of whether the gesture track is drawn out of the integrated control area, thereby avoiding false positives.

 In the above technical solution, the gesture track includes a first portion located in the integrated control area and a second portion located outside the integrated control area. If the area ratio of the first portion and the second portion meets a preset proportional threshold, the gesture track is performed. Processing, otherwise the gesture track is determined to be a misoperation.

In this technical solution, the user often draws a gesture command in a given area on the screen, and normally, most of the trajectory of the corresponding gesture trajectory should be in the area, and only a part is outside the area, so The area ratio of the trajectory inside or outside the integrated control area can be judged. If the preset proportional threshold is not met, for example, at least 50% is in the integrated control area, the gesture trajectory may be a user error operation. Can be ignored. In the above technical solution, the method further includes: the integrated control area is semi-transparent and appears on the display content of the terminal interface.

 In the technical solution, the "emergence" here refers to "superimposing" or stacking the content of the integrated control area and the original content on the terminal interface, and it can be considered that the content of the integrated control area and the terminal interface at this time is different. The display layer, wherein the integrated control area is at the upper layer, and the content of the terminal interface is at the lower layer, and the user's operation (moving, zooming, etc., excluding the function operation) for the upper layer does not affect the content of the lower layer, and the operation of the lower layer content (such as switching interfaces, changing applications, etc.) will not affect the content of the upper layer. Through this integrated display area of the integrated control area. Of course, the specific transparency of the integrated control area here can obviously be set by the user.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: configuring an attribute of the integrated control area according to the received configuration command and/or the detected real-time status of the terminal.

 In the technical solution, the configuration command may be issued when the setting is performed in advance, and is used to implement the corresponding effect when the integrated control area is triggered later; or the integrated control area may be after the integrated control area has been set. Perform real-time adjustments, such as holding the area to move the position, and multi-touch to achieve area zooming. In addition, when the terminal is in different states, such as vertical placement or horizontal placement (which can be detected by a gravity sensor or the like), whether the user holds the left hand or the right hand (can be detected by a temperature sensor or the like), etc., The properties of the integrated control area are adjusted to give the user the best possible operating experience.

 In the above technical solution, the real-time status includes: a current operation interface on the terminal screen, a current spatial state of the terminal, and/or a manner in which the terminal is held; the attributes of the integrated control area include: an integrated control area shape, an integrated control area Quantity, display position on the terminal interface, and/or displayed content.

 In the foregoing technical solution, the method further includes: when the terminal is held by one hand, configuring an attribute of the integrated control area, so that an attribute of the integrated control area is in a preset attribute threshold range.

In this technical solution, by setting the attributes such as the shape, size, position and the like of the integrated control area, the user is facilitated to perform one-hand operation, especially when holding the terminal by one hand, using the thumb of the hand holding the terminal. Operation, such as when holding the terminal with the right hand, then the corresponding The integrated control area can be located in the lower right corner of the terminal, which is 1/4 disk shape, and the radius of the disk is not greater than the length of the user's thumb, so that the user can complete the operation of the current interface through the thumb.

 In the above technical solution, the method further includes: setting at least one function description area on the terminal interface according to the function description area triggering command sensed by the integrated control area.

 In this technical solution, since the user may have doubts about the operation mode, the setting process, the operation function corresponding to each virtual button or the gesture command, etc. when the user uses the one-hand manipulation zone, the corresponding function description information may be performed. prompt. In order to distinguish it from the normal operation, it can be set to other trigger modes. Specifically, the user can press and hold a certain area, for example, the area is a virtual button, and in the corresponding function description area, the virtual The function, the operation mode, and the setting mode of the button are described. Specifically, the function description information may be one or more of various forms such as text and image, and the function description area has shapes, sizes, transparency, and the like. , obviously, it can also be set by the user.

 In the above technical solution, the function description area is located at the top of the terminal interface or within the integrated control area.

 In this technical solution, in order not to affect the user's viewing of other content on the terminal interface, the function description area may be blocked as much as possible. Therefore, the status information bar at the top of the terminal interface may be set, or Set in the integrated control area, for example, the integrated control area is a disc-shaped, the outermost ring is a ring composed of a plurality of virtual buttons, and the inner side is a circular touch area for receiving a gesture track of the user, In the inner circular touch area, the function description information is displayed.

 The technical solution of the touch control method of the terminal according to the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to Figs. 4A to 4T, wherein Figs. 4A to 4T are diagrams showing a touch control method of the terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4A, when the terminal interface is operated, it can be operated by the integrated control area 402 displayed on the terminal interface. The integrated control area 402 can be displayed on the terminal interface all the time, or can be activated from the hidden state after being received by the user's trigger command, and displayed on the terminal interface. There are many ways to issue a trigger command, such as: the terminal interface is touched, the terminal interface is pressed for more than the preset first time threshold, and the designated area of the terminal interface is used by the user. The line of sight is focused for more than a preset second time threshold, the designated physical button on the terminal is pressed, the terminal interface receives a gesture graphic that matches the preset pattern, the preset identifier on the terminal interface is selected, and the like. When the user does not integrate the control area 402 or the terminal interface for a long time, the integrated control area 402 can be hidden again until the next time it is triggered.

 The number of integrated control areas 402 can be one or more, and can be set according to the actual usage requirements of the user. The familiarity of shape, size, background color, transparency, etc. of each integrated control area 402 can be freely set to meet the individual needs of the user; however, the content in each integrated control area 402 is similar and may include one The plurality of virtual keys 404 may include a touch control area 406, and may also include a virtual key 404 and a touch controller 406.

 Specifically, for example, in FIG. 4A, two integrated control areas 402 are simultaneously displayed on the terminal interface, but the integrated control area 402 located above the picture is rectangular, including the left touch control area 406 and the four virtual sides on the right side. Button 404, and the integrated control area 402 located below the picture is circular, including the inner touch control area 406 and the outer eight virtual keys 404.

 Some specific operations of the integrated control area 402 will be described by taking the operation interface of the music player shown in FIG. 4B as an example.

 As shown in FIG. 4B, when the user opens the "Music Player" program, the interface is entered. An integrated control area 402 is displayed on the interface, wherein the virtual button 404 located outside the integrated control area 402 includes four pattern identifiers 404A and four character identifiers 404B, which are visible. For each virtual button 404, the specific display is displayed. Icons can be arbitrarily set to meet the individual needs of users.

 In the eight virtual buttons 404 in the figure, there are mainly three types, among which:

 In the first category, the "playlist" and "add song" in the four pattern identifiers 404A and the text identifier 404B in the figure are function buttons specifically for the "music player" application, and the buttons of this type are currently The opening of an application or application function interface (the interface of an application's function) varies.

When the virtual button 404 is implemented, each application or application function interface and the corresponding operation function need to be acquired in advance, and associated storage is performed; when the current terminal interface is in an application function interface, the terminal searches for the corresponding interface according to the current interface. The operational functions are then set to one or more of these operational functions as corresponding virtual keys 404 in the single touch area 402. Specifically, when the associated storage is performed, the application may be processed by the system when each application is installed, thereby implementing the above functions.

 The second category, "lock screen" and "exit" in the figure, is a unified system function button for all applications, which can be generated by the system as virtual button 404 for each application. The program or application function interface reserves a corresponding interface through which the virtual buttons 404 and the corresponding current interface are docked to achieve the above functions.

 In the third category, in combination with FIG. 4B and FIG. 4C, the user can customize the virtual button 404 in each integrated control area 402 according to his own needs, such as "playlist" and "add song" in the text identifier 404B. Customized as "browser" and "e-book", in this way, it also realizes the mutual link between different applications.

 At the same time, it can be seen that by adjusting the attributes such as the transparency of the integrated control area 402, the occlusion of the information on the terminal interface can be reduced. For example, the progress bar 408 can still be displayed through the integrated control area 402.

 As shown in FIG. 4D, when the virtual button 404 in the integrated control area 402 is operated, each virtual button 404 is distinguished, for example, a different identifier is displayed, and the user clicks and selects on the corresponding virtual button 404. After that, the corresponding functions are implemented.

 Since the user often does not guarantee accuracy when clicking the virtual button 404, some measures need to be taken to avoid or reduce the misjudgment of the system.

 As shown in FIG. 4E, a corresponding operation area 412 can be set for each virtual button 404. The area of the operation area 412 is larger than the icon area of the virtual button 404, so that the user does not accurately click on the virtual button 404. If clicked into the operation area 412, it can still be considered as an operation on the corresponding virtual button 404.

 In addition, because the size of the terminal screen is limited, the size of the integrated control area 402 is also limited, and the virtual button 404 therein is relatively small compared to the user's finger, so that the user may simultaneously cover when clicking. A plurality of virtual buttons 404 are shown in FIG. 4F.

When the system cannot accurately determine the user's operation intention, the wrong application function may be turned on, and even the system may be paralyzed, causing the terminal to crash and the like, which seriously affects the user's operation experience. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4G, the number of virtual buttons 404 touched by the user's touch action may be determined. If there are multiple, the contact faces formed by the touch action and each virtual button 404 are respectively obtained, for example, A first contact region 414A, a second contact region 414B, and a third contact region 414C are formed in the drawing, respectively. Since the user is operating, although there may be a deviation in the click, under normal circumstances, the contact surface of the finger and the screen will still be closer to the position where the user really wants to operate, and correspondingly, the virtual button that the user wishes to operate It is possible to leave a relatively large contact area on the 404. Therefore, by comparing the area of the first contact region 414A, the second contact region 414B, and the third contact region 414C as described herein, the virtual button 404 corresponding to the region having the largest contact area is used as a system to determine that the user really wants to operate. Virtual button 404.

 Of course, if there is a case where the contact areas are equal, for example, when a plurality of keys are completely contacted and cannot be accurately judged by the above-described area comparison, the plurality of virtual keys 404 that are touched may be marked, for example, the display thereof is changed. Color, add a shadow, add a special logo, etc., so that the user can distinguish, or the functions corresponding to the plurality of virtual buttons 404 that are touched can be presented on the terminal interface. Specifically, the corresponding list can be formed and then presented. So that the user can make further choices.

 In addition to the above operations on the virtual keys 404, the operation of the touch control area 406 in the integrated control area 402 will be described below.

 As shown in FIG. 4H, the user can associate the gesture graphic and the application function in advance, and then when the user draws the gesture track 410 in the touch control area 406, the terminal searches for the pre-stored gesture graphic corresponding to the gesture track 410, thereby Implement the corresponding application functions.

 During the user's stroke of the gesture track 410 at the touch controller 406, the finger needs to remain in contact with the terminal screen and slide. However, in actual operation, the user sometimes leaves the screen in the middle of sliding for some reason, and then returns quickly, forming some discontinuities, or due to the identification error of the terminal, causing a misinterpretation as a break, but the terminal may It is assumed that the user draws two gesture trajectories instead of one complete trajectory, thereby performing the wrong application function.

In order to avoid the above misjudgment, a method as shown in FIG. 41 may be adopted. Specifically, when the user performs a gesture sliding, if the terminal recognizes a complete gesture track as multiple line segments, For example, the first gesture line segment 416A and the second gesture line segment 416B, if the interval between the two gesture line segments is shorter than the preset time interval, the multiple line segments can be combined into one complete gesture track 416C. , in order to achieve the application function of the user's real intention.

 In addition, due to the limited area of the touch control area 406, the gesture track drawn by the user, such as the full gesture track 416C in FIG. 4J, is partially in the touch control area 406 and a portion is outside the touch control area 406. If the terminal acquires the gesture trajectory received by the entire screen and considers it effective, it may cause many misoperations to be regarded as the user's operation; and if only the gesture trajectory in the touch control area 406 is acquired, the figure may also be caused. The situation in the middle was misjudged.

 In the actual use process of the user, since the touch control area 406 has been given, when the user draws the gesture track, the user often slides the finger in the touch control area 406 as much as possible. Therefore, the starting point of the gesture track is often Located in the touch control area 406, it can be determined whether the currently occurring gesture track is a user's draw or misoperation.

 4J and FIG. 4K, if the trajectory start point 418 of the complete gesture trajectory 416C is located in the touch control area 406, it is considered that the gesture trajectory drawn by the user is not an erroneous operation, and the complete gesture trajectory 416C is acquired and judged to implement the corresponding Function; If the trajectory start point 418 of the complete gesture track 416C is outside the touch control area 406, it is considered that the gesture trajectory drawn by the user is an erroneous operation, ignoring the current operation.

 In addition to the determination of the trajectory start point 418, when the user wishes to operate the terminal to draw a gesture trajectory, since the touch control area 406 has been given, the user tends to complete the gesture trajectory in the touch control area 406 as much as possible due to The area of the touch control area 406 is limited, so that a partial area of the gesture track is drawn to the outside of the touch control area 406. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4L, two areas divided by the touch control area 406 according to the complete gesture track 416C can be divided. The area includes a first portion 420A located inside the touch control area 406 and a second portion 420B outside the touch control area 406, if the ratio of the area of the first portion 420A to the second portion 420B matches a preset area threshold, such as If it is greater than 60%, it can be considered as the normal operation of the user. Otherwise, it is considered to be a misoperation, and the operation is ignored.

In addition, for the integrated control area 402 that has been set on the terminal interface, the user can still perform many attribute adjustments. For example, as shown in FIG. 4M, the user can end the integrated control area 402. Any drag on the end interface to be placed at a position that is easier to operate or does not obscure the interface content; as shown in FIG. 4N, the integrated control area 402 can also be multi-touched. The size is adjusted to suit the needs of different users.

 For the shape, position, and the like of the integrated control area 402, it has been shown above that it can be set by the user. In a more preferred solution, as shown in FIG. 40, the integrated control area 402 can be set to a circular arc shape. It is displayed in the lower right corner of the terminal interface, and the radius of the arc is set to match the length of the thumb of the user, so that the user can operate the integrated control area 402 only by the thumb when the terminal is held by only the right hand.

 The position of the integrated control area 402 can also be moved. As shown in FIG. 4P, it can be moved to the middle of the right side of the terminal interface. However, unlike the case shown in FIG. 4M, when the position of the integrated control area 402 changes, The shape, size, and the like of the integrated control region 402 are adaptively adjusted according to the position of the integrated control region 402 on the current interface. Of course, this adaptive adjustment can obviously be set by the user in advance.

 As shown in FIG. 4Q, for the virtual button 404 and the touch control area 406 in the integrated control area 402, for the virtual button 404, if each button is marked by text, the user can easily distinguish it, and if it is marked by an icon, The user may not be able to distinguish the function corresponding to each virtual button 404, and it is even more difficult to memorize and use for the operation gestures and the like in the touch control area 406. Therefore, at least one function description area 422 can be displayed on the terminal interface, in which the method of using the integrated control area 402, the function corresponding to the virtual button 404, or the gesture track that can be used in the touch control area 406 can be displayed. Wait, give some tips.

 Specifically, the function description area 422 may be disposed at the top of the terminal interface, such as the position of the status information column, thereby reducing interference with the content of the display interface, or may also be disposed in the integrated control area 402, such as the integrated control area 402. In the shape of a disk, the outermost ring is a ring formed by a plurality of virtual buttons 404, and the inner side is a circular touch control area 406 for receiving a gesture track of the user, and in the inner touch control area 406, The function description information is displayed. When the user long presses an area in the integrated control area 402, the content corresponding to the area can be judged, for example, a virtual button 404 or a touch control area 406, thereby prompting the description. When prompted, text and / or images can be used.

In addition, in addition to the manual operation of the user, the shape of the integrated control area 402, at the terminal The position on the interface is adjusted, and the terminal can also adjust itself according to the current state.

 For example, as shown in FIG. 4R to FIG. 4T, the terminal can be judged by the user such as the temperature sensor, and if the terminal is held by the right hand, the integrated control area 402 can be set in the lower right corner of the terminal interface, such as Figure 4R shows; if it is left-handed, the integrated control area 402 can be set in the lower left corner of the terminal interface, as shown in Figure 4S; if it is held by both hands, and the terminal is placed horizontally, as shown in Figure 4T, Then, an integrated control area 402 can be set at the lower left corner and the lower right corner of the terminal interface at this time, which is convenient for the user to operate.

 The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. In view of the related art, the control buttons for the terminal interface are not uniform, and the distribution range on the interface is large, thereby increasing the range of movement when the user performs the operation. The present invention provides a terminal and a touch control method for a terminal, which can implement control of different applications by using a unified integrated operation mode, thereby facilitating touch control of the terminal by one-hand operation.

 The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. within the spirit and scope of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
