FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a screen of another electronic device in an embodiment of the present invention. The touch screen and display screen of the electronic device are integrated in the screen structure, and the screen 200 includes:

A cover plate 201, a display screen 202, and a metal middle frame 203, wherein the display screen 202 is located between the cover plate 201 and the metal middle frame 203, the metal middle frame 203 is grounded, and the electronic device 200 is also include:

a conductive layer 204, the conductive layer 204 is attached to the lower surface 2020 of the display screen 202;

As shown in FIG. 2 , it can be understood that, viewed from the vertical direction from the top layer of the electronic device to the bottom layer of the electronic device, the upper surface of the display screen is attached to the cover plate, while the conductive layer is attached to the lower surface of the display screen.

As shown in FIG. 2, there is at least one gap between the conductive layer 204 and the metal middle frame 203 (such as the blank area between the conductive layer and the metal middle frame in FIG. 2), wherein the conductive layer 204, The metal middle frame 203 and the at least one gap form at least one capacitor, wherein the capacitance change of the at least one capacitor reflects the magnitude of at least one pressure acting on the cover plate 201 .

It can be understood that the conductive layer, the metal middle frame and at least one gap form at least one capacitor, the conductive layer can be regarded as one pole plate of the capacitor, the metal middle frame can be regarded as the other pole plate of the capacitor, and the capacitor can be used as a pressure sensor For example, when the user presses the cover plate, a certain force is generated, and the force causes the conductive layer to deform, so that the distance between the two plates of the capacitor changes, so that the capacitance of the capacitor changes, and further through the capacitor The change of capacitance reflects the pressure acting on the cover. For example, the capacitor of this structure acts as a pressure sensor, which can sense 60,000 steps of pressure from light pressing to heavy pressing, so that different pressures can be identified. stage pressure.

It can be understood that the change in the capacitance of the capacitor is proportional to the magnitude of the pressure. For example, the greater the change in the capacitance of the capacitor, the greater the pressure acting on the cover, or the greater the pressure on the cover. The greater the pressure on the capacitor, the greater the change in the capacitance of the capacitor.

The application scenario of the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention is: when the display screen of the electronic device is in the off state, the electronic device is controlled to perform the first function through the first pressure operation, and the display screen is always kept in the off state during the whole process.

In combination with the hardware structure of the above-mentioned electronic equipment, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are realized through computer software programs, including:

When the display screen of the electronic device is in an off state, the touch screen is configured to detect a first pressure operation performed by the user on the touch screen of the electronic device, obtain pressure information of the first pressure operation (such as the pressure value of the first pressure operation), and send This pressure value is sent to the processor.

The processor is configured to first determine whether the pressure value is greater than or equal to a preset first pressure threshold after receiving the above pressure value, and if the pressure value is greater than or equal to the preset first pressure threshold, determine to execute the electronic device. The first function, the display remains off.

The first function may be a function set by the user, or a function automatically set by the electronic device, such as audio recording, video recording, photographing, dialing and calling.

For example, when the display screen of the electronic device is in the off state, the touch screen detects that the user's pressure operation on it causes a change in the capacitance value of the touch screen, obtains the pressure value of the pressure operation according to the change in the capacitance value, and sends the pressure operation pressure value to the processor. The processor receives the pressure value of the pressure operation, determines that the pressure value of the pressure operation is greater than the preset first pressure threshold, and then controls the electronic device to perform the photographing function. Specifically, the processor sends an instruction to control the camera of the electronic device to be powered on, and automatically take pictures within a preset time.

Words and terms in the following embodiments will be explained below:

When ordinal numerals such as "first" and "second" are mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention, unless the meaning of order is actually expressed according to the context, it should be understood that they are only used for distinction. For example, "first pressure operation" and "second pressure operation" both represent pressure operations, but respectively represent different pressure operations.

When referring to "the display screen is off" in some embodiments of the present invention, it refers to the state that the electronic device is in a standby state, but the display screen is black (or called off), and the electronic device can run at this time. The application function on the device may also not run the application function. When the display screen is fully lit, the lock screen interface of the electronic device will be displayed, and the electronic device enters the lock screen state from the standby state. The lock screen state refers to the screen lock and provides an unlock interface by displaying preset specific content. The user needs to enter a specific password or perform a specific operation/gesture on this interface to exit the lock screen state and enter the unlock state; while in the unlock state , the user can normally use various functions of the electronic device.

When “pressure operation” is mentioned in some embodiments of the present invention, it refers to the pressing operation performed by the user on the touch screen with a certain pressure using any suitable object or accessory such as fingers, palms, and stylus. Further, the pressure operation is a pressing operation that can cause a change in the capacitance value of the touch screen, so as to avoid false touches caused when the touch screen is squeezed by an object with a certain hardness. In some embodiments of the present invention, the subject of the pressure operation, the number of the pressure operation, the position on the touch screen where the pressure operation is applied, and the like are not limited. For example, when multiple pressure operations act on the touch screen at the same time, all pressure operations can be detected at the same time, and any one pressure operation can also be detected. The touch screen can detect a pressure operation acting on any position on the touch screen, and can also detect a pressure operation acting on a preset position of the touch screen. The pressure operation time can be long or short, that is, the user can press the touch screen with a certain pressure and then leave (that is, "short press"), or continue to press the touch screen with a certain pressure (that is, "long press"). according to").

The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

Fig. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a method for controlling an electronic device in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3 , the method flow is executed by an electronic device, and the method steps of the process can be executed sequentially or in parallel, and can also include more or less method steps. The method flow includes:

S101: Detect pressure information of a first pressure operation acting on the electronic device when the display screen of the electronic device is in an off state;

Wherein, the pressure information includes the pressure value of the first pressure operation.

S102: Determine whether the pressure value of the first pressure operation is greater than or equal to the preset first pressure threshold; if so, enter step S103, otherwise the process ends;

S103: Execute the first function, and keep the display screen in an off state.

When the display screen of the electronic device is in a closed state, the user applies a first pressure operation on the electronic device. Specifically, the electronic device can integrate a pressure sensor in the side frame. When the user grips the side frame of the electronic device, the pressure sensor in the side frame of the electronic device can detect the user's pressure operation and obtain the pressure information of the pressure operation. In addition, the electronic device can also integrate a pressure sensor in the touch screen. When the user presses the touch screen of the electronic device, the pressure sensor in the touch screen of the electronic device can detect the user's pressure operation and obtain the pressure information of the pressure operation. The pressure information at least includes the pressure value of the first pressure operation.

It is determined whether the pressure value of the first pressure operation is greater than or equal to a preset first pressure threshold, where the first pressure threshold can be set by the user, or can be automatically set by the electronic device.

When the pressure value of the first pressure operation is greater than or equal to the preset first pressure threshold, the control electronic device executes the first function. Wherein, the first function is a function installed in the electronic device, which may be a system application function that comes with the electronic device when it leaves the factory, or a function of application software installed in the electronic device by the user. The display screen of the electronic device remains off (ie, black screen) at all times.

Optionally, in addition to detecting the pressure value of the first pressure operation, the electronic device also detects a gesture track of the first pressure operation. For example, the user presses the left edge of the touch screen with a finger at a pressure value of 5N, keeps the finger in contact with the touch screen and presses the pressure value of the finger on the touch screen, and moves the point of contact between the finger and the touch screen horizontally to the right edge of the touch screen. It can be seen that the pressure value of the first pressure operation is 5N, and the gesture track is a straight line gesture. The touch screen detects the contact point coordinates of the user's finger touching the touch screen, and determines the gesture track of the pressure operation according to the coordinates of the contact point.

Before step S103, the method flow also includes:

When the pressure value of the first pressure operation is greater than or equal to a preset first pressure threshold, the first function is determined according to the gesture trajectory of the first pressure operation and the first association relationship.

Specifically, a first association relationship is preset in the electronic device, where the first association relationship includes an association relationship between a gesture track and an application function. The gesture track can be set by the user or automatically set by the electronic device. There are various storage forms of the first association relationship in the electronic device, such as a database file or a configuration file or a piece of program code. For example, the first association relationship is shown in Table 1:

Table 1 First association relationship

According to the first correlation, it can be seen that the function corresponding to the straight line gesture is recording, so when it is detected that the gesture track of the first pressure operation is a straight line gesture, it is determined that the first function is the recording function. The electronic device performs a first function, namely a recording function.

If the gesture track of the first pressure operation is not the gesture track in the first association relationship, the electronic device does not respond to the first pressure operation. For example, the first pressure operation is two quick press operations. Since the functions corresponding to the two quick press gestures are not specified in the first association relationship, the electronic device does not respond to the first pressure operation and does not start a new function.

Optionally, before step S103, the method flow also includes:

When the pressure value of the first pressure operation is greater than or equal to the preset first pressure threshold, according to the pressure value of the first pressure operation and the second correlation relationship, it is determined that the pressure value of the first pressure operation has a relationship with the first pressure operation The function of the association relationship is the first function.

Wherein, the second association relationship includes an association relationship between a pressure value and an application function.

Specifically, a second association relationship is preset in the electronic device, and the second association relationship includes an association relationship between a pressure value and an application function in the electronic device. That is, the second association relationship is used to define that different pressure values correspond to different functions of the electronic device. The specific content in the second association relationship may be the relationship between a specific pressure value and a function in the electronic device, or the relationship between a pressure value range or pressure level and a function in the electronic device. There are various storage forms of the second association relationship in the electronic device, such as a database file or a configuration file or a piece of program code.

Take the content form of the second relationship as an example of the relationship between the pressure level and the function of the electronic device:

The pressure level table divided by the size of the pressure value is preset in the electronic device, as shown in Table 2, assuming that four pressure levels are preset in the electronic device, and each pressure level represents the range of the pressure value:

Table 2 Pressure rating table

Pressure Level Pressure value range (N is Newton) primary pressure 1N-3N secondary pressure 4N-6N tertiary pressure 7N-9N four pressure 10N-12N

The second association relationship is preset in the electronic device, and the second association relationship is stored in the electronic device in the form of a database relational table, as shown in Table 3:

Table 3 Second association relationship

When the pressure sensor of the electronic device detects that the pressure value of the first pressure operation acting on the electronic device is 5N, the preset first pressure threshold is 3N, and it is determined that the pressure value of the first pressure operation is greater than the first pressure threshold.

According to the pressure value of the first pressure operation and the pressure level table preset in the electronic device, it is determined that the pressure value of the first pressure operation is the secondary pressure. According to the pressure level of the pressure value of the first pressure operation and the second correlation preset in the electronic device, it is determined that the function corresponding to the pressure value of the first pressure operation is video recording, and thus the first function is determined as video recording.

The camera module of the control electronic device is turned on and powered on, and performs a video recording operation, and the display screen of the electronic device is turned off during the whole process.

Optionally, the pressure information also includes the contact position on the electronic device that the first pressure operation acts on, and before step S103, the method flow further includes:

When the pressure value of the first pressure operation is greater than or equal to the preset first pressure threshold, according to the position of the contact point of the first pressure operation and the third association relationship, determine the contact point of the first pressure operation The function whose position has an associated relationship is the first function.

Wherein, the third association relationship includes an association relationship between a contact position and an application function.

Specifically, a third association relationship is preset in the electronic device, and the third association relationship is used to define that different contact positions correspond to different functions of the electronic device. There are various storage forms of the third association relationship in the electronic device, for example, a database file or a configuration file or a piece of program code.

For example, the third association relationship is preset in the electronic device, and the third association relationship is stored in the electronic device in the form of a database relational table, as shown in Table 4:

Table 4 The third relationship

contact position Function side border recording touch screen corner video Touch screen center area Photograph

When the pressure sensor of the electronic device detects that the pressure value of the first pressure operation acting on the electronic device is 5N, the preset first pressure threshold is 3N, and it is determined that the pressure value of the first pressure operation is greater than the first pressure threshold.

The pressure sensor of the electronic device detects that the pressure operation acts on the contact position on the electronic device as the side frame. According to the third correlation shown in Table 4, it can be seen that the function corresponding to the side frame is recording, so it is determined that the recording is the first function.

The microphone of the electronic device is controlled to be turned on for recording, and the display screen of the electronic device is turned off during the whole process.

In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, when the display screen of the electronic device is in the off state, the pressure value of the pressure operation acting on the electronic device is detected, and when the pressure value is greater than or equal to the preset pressure threshold, the control electronic The device performs the first function and the display remains off at all times. Therefore, it is realized that the user can control the electronic device to execute preset application functions without turning on the screen.

Optionally, after the first function is executed, the method procedure further includes stopping execution of the first function when the first pressure operation finishes acting on the electronic device.

Specifically, the first pressure operation acts on the electronic device, and when the pressure value is greater than or equal to a preset first pressure threshold, the first function is executed. After the first function starts to be executed, the first pressure operation continues to act on the electronic device, for example, the first pressure operation is a long press operation. When the first pressure operation finishes acting on the electronic device, for example, the user's palm stops pressing the frame of the electronic device, or the user's finger leaves the touch screen of the electronic device, the execution of the first function stops.

For example, the user continues to press the touch screen of the mobile phone with a finger. When the pressure value of the first pressure operation of pressing the mobile phone is greater than or equal to the preset first pressure threshold, the mobile phone starts the recording function. When the touch screen detects that the user stops pressing the touch screen of the mobile phone When (such as the user reduces the pressure value of pressing the touch screen of the mobile phone so that the first pressure operation becomes a touch operation, or the user's finger leaves the touch screen of the mobile phone, etc.), the mobile phone stops recording and automatically saves the recording file.

By controlling the end time of the pressure operation, the stop time of the execution of the first function is controlled, so that the user can conveniently control the start and end of the preset function without turning on the screen of the electronic device.

Optionally, after the first function is executed, the method procedure further includes detecting second pressure information of a second pressure operation acting on the electronic device, where the second pressure information includes a pressure value of the second pressure operation; when When the pressure value of the second pressure operation is greater than or equal to the preset second pressure threshold, the execution of the first function is stopped.

Specifically, the first pressure operation acts on the electronic device, and when the pressure value is greater than or equal to a preset first pressure threshold, the first function is executed. After the first function starts to execute, the first pressure operation ends. For example, when the user reduces the pressure value of pressing the touch screen of the mobile phone so that the first pressure operation becomes a touch operation, or the user's finger leaves the touch screen of the mobile phone, etc., the first function continues to execute.

When the electronic device detects that the second pressure operation acts on the electronic device, and the pressure value is greater than or equal to the preset second pressure threshold, it stops executing the first function. The second pressure threshold may be the same as or different from the first pressure threshold.

For example, the user presses the touch screen of the mobile phone with a finger, and when the pressure value of the first pressure operation of pressing the mobile phone is greater than or equal to the preset first pressure threshold, the mobile phone starts the recording function, and the touch screen detects that the user stops pressing the touch screen of the mobile phone (such as When the user reduces the pressure value of pressing the touch screen of the mobile phone so that the first pressure operation becomes a touch operation, or the user's finger leaves the touch screen of the mobile phone, etc.), the mobile phone continues to record. When the user presses the touch screen of the mobile phone with a finger again, when the pressure value of the second pressure operation of pressing the mobile phone is greater than or equal to the preset second pressure threshold, the mobile phone stops recording and automatically saves the recording file. By setting the second pressure threshold, it is prevented from accidentally touching the electronic device from interfering with the execution of the first function.

By applying the second pressure operation to the electronic device, the stop time of the execution of the first function is controlled, so that the user can conveniently control the start and end of the preset function without turning on the screen of the electronic device.
