Description

Proximity sensor switching method, device and terminal

technical field

The present invention relates to the technical field of terminals, in particular to a proximity sensor switching method, device and terminal.

Background technique

With the rapid development of terminal technology, smart terminals are becoming more and more popular and become an indispensable device in people's lives. People can learn, entertain and so on through smart terminals.

In a smart terminal, the distance between the terminal and the obstacle is generally detected by a proximity sensor, which is implemented by using an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver. The infrared transmitter emits infrared light, which is reflected by the obstacle to form a reflected light. After receiving the reflected light, the infrared receiver determines whether the smart terminal is close to or away from the obstacle according to the light intensity value of the reflected light.

In order to improve the detection accuracy, a proximity sensor is arranged on both sides of the receiver, one of the proximity sensors both emits infrared light and receives the returned infrared light, and the other proximity sensor only receives the returned infrared light. However, assuming that the user holds the smart terminal in the right hand to make a call, at this time, after the transmitter of the first proximity sensor of the receiver emits infrared rays, it will be blocked by the face and then reflected back and received by the receiver of the first proximity sensor, thereby judging that the smart terminal is close to human face. However, if the user changes to hold the smart terminal with the left hand, the transmitter of the first proximity sensor emits infrared rays and is not blocked by the face. At this time, the terminal will receive data that the terminal is far from the face, resulting in misjudgment.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a proximity sensor switching method, device, and terminal. The detailed descriptions will be given below.

In a preferred embodiment, the description will be made from the perspective of a proximity sensor switching device. The proximity sensor switching device may be integrated in a terminal in the form of software or hardware, and the terminal may be a device such as a smartphone or a tablet computer.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a flowchart of a first proximity sensor switching method provided by this preferred embodiment. Each step of the proximity sensor switching method of this preferred embodiment will be described in detail below.

Step S101 , when the terminal is in a call state, acquire the holding mode of the terminal and the proximity sensor identifier corresponding to the currently turned on proximity sensor.

When the terminal is in a call state, the built-in proximity sensor in the terminal can detect whether the terminal is close to the face, and when the terminal is close to the face, the light of the terminal screen is turned off to save the power of the terminal. As shown in FIG. 2 , there is a built-in proximity sensor on both sides of the terminal receiver 100 , wherein the first proximity sensor 200 is hidden under the B area, and the second proximity sensor 300 is hidden under the A area.

In the actual distance detection process, the transmitter of the proximity sensor on one side emits detection light, which is emitted by the barrier to form a low-beam signal and a high-beam signal, and then the receiver of the proximity sensor on the same side receives the low-beam signal, and the other The receiver of the side proximity sensor receives the high beam signal to detect the distance between the terminal and the obstacle. As shown in FIG. 3 , the transmitter 201 of the first proximity sensor 200 emits detection light, the receiver 202 of the first proximity sensor 200 receives the low beam signal reflected by the barrier 30 , and the receiver 302 of the second proximity sensor 300 receives The high beam signal reflected back by the barrier 30 . In some embodiments, probe sound waves may also be emitted by the transmitter. In other embodiments, the transmitter may also send other types of detection signals, such as laser light.

The holding modes include a left-hand holding mode and a right-hand holding mode. The left-hand holding mode means that the user holds the terminal with the left hand when making a call. As shown in FIG. 2 , the terminal receiver 100 is placed on the human ear, and at this time, the right part of the terminal receiver, that is, as shown in the area A, will be close to the human face. The right-hand holding mode means that the user holds the terminal with the right hand when making a call. At this time, the left part of the terminal receiving the call 100, which is shown in the area B, will be close to the face.

Because when the terminal is held in the left-hand mode, the right part of the receiver is close to the face, and the left part is kept at a distance from the face, while when the terminal is held in the right-hand mode, when the left part of the receiver is close to the face, the right The side part is kept some distance from the face. Therefore, it is assumed that the transmitter of the first proximity sensor emits detection light, the receiver of the first proximity sensor receives the low beam signal, and the receiver of the second proximity sensor receives the high beam signal. Then, when the terminal is in the right-hand holding mode, it will detect the proximity data that the terminal is close to the face, and when the terminal is in the left-hand holding mode, it will erroneously detect the remote data that the terminal is far away from the face.

Therefore, when the terminal is in the left-hand holding mode, the second proximity sensor should be turned on to detect the distance between the terminal and the face. When the terminal is in the right-hand holding mode, the first proximity sensor should be turned on to detect the distance between the terminal and the face, thereby Improve the accuracy of proximity sensor detection. Therefore, it is necessary to first obtain the holding mode of the terminal and the proximity sensor identifier corresponding to the currently enabled proximity sensor, wherein the proximity sensor identifier indicates the currently enabled proximity sensor. In some embodiments, the holding mode of the terminal can be obtained through capacitance information of the terminal frame, and in some embodiments, the holding mode of the terminal can be obtained through the pressure information of the terminal frame.

Step S102, acquiring the target proximity sensor identifier corresponding to the holding mode.

Then, the target proximity sensor identification corresponding to the holding mode is obtained. If it is a left-handed holding mode, the right sensor identification is obtained, and if it is a right-handed holding mode, the left sensor identification is obtained.

Step S103, when it is determined that the proximity sensor identifier does not match the target proximity sensor identifier, switch the currently turned on proximity sensor to the target proximity sensor corresponding to the target proximity sensor identifier.

Next, it is determined whether the proximity sensor identification matches the target proximity sensor identification. If it does not match, it means that the proximity sensor may misjudge, so switch to the target proximity sensor corresponding to the target proximity sensor identification. If the target proximity sensor corresponding to the target proximity sensor identification is the first proximity sensor, turn off the transmitter and receiver of the second proximity sensor, and turn on the transmitter and receiver of the first proximity sensor, as shown in Figure 4; , if the corresponding target proximity sensor identified by the target proximity sensor is the second proximity sensor, turn off the transmitter and receiver of the first proximity sensor, and turn on the transmitter and receiver of the second proximity sensor, as shown in FIG. 5 .

If it matches, continue to detect the distance between the terminal and the obstacle through the currently turned on proximity sensor. When the proximity data is detected, the terminal screen brightness is turned off; when the remote data is detected, the terminal screen brightness is turned on.

The proximity sensor switching method of the embodiment of the present invention selects and turns on the corresponding proximity sensor according to the holding mode of the terminal, thus improving the detection accuracy of the proximity sensor.

In a preferred embodiment, the proximity sensor switching method of the present invention will be further introduced.

This preferred embodiment will be described from the perspective of a proximity sensor switching device. The proximity sensor switching device can be specifically integrated in a terminal in the form of software or hardware, and the terminal can be a smartphone, a tablet computer, or other devices.

Please refer to FIG. 6 , which is a flowchart of a second proximity sensor switching method provided in this preferred embodiment. Each step of the proximity sensor switching method of this preferred embodiment will be described in detail below.

Step S201, acquiring a holding mode.

The holding mode of the terminal is obtained in advance, wherein the holding mode includes a left-hand holding mode and a right-hand holding mode. The left-hand holding mode means that the user holds the terminal with the left hand when making a call. As shown in FIG. 2 , the terminal receiver 100 is placed on the human ear, and at this time, the right part of the terminal receiver, that is, as shown in the area A, will be close to the human face. The right-hand holding mode means that the user holds the terminal with the right hand when making a call. At this time, the left part of the receiver 100 of the terminal, as shown in area B, will be close to the face.

Step S202, acquiring the proximity sensor identifier corresponding to the holding mode.

There is a built-in proximity sensor on both sides of the receiver. As shown in FIG. 2 , the first proximity sensor 200 is hidden under the B area, and the second proximity sensor 300 is hidden under the A area. As shown in FIG. 3 , the first proximity sensor 200 includes a transmitter 201 and a receiver 202 , and the second proximity sensor 300 includes a transmitter 301 and a receiver 302 .

In the actual distance detection process, the transmitter of the proximity sensor on one side emits detection light, which is emitted by the barrier to form a low-beam signal and a high-beam signal, and then the receiver of the proximity sensor on the same side receives the low-beam signal, and the other The receiver of the side proximity sensor receives the high beam signal to detect the distance between the terminal and the obstacle. As shown in FIG. 3 , the transmitter 201 of the first proximity sensor 200 emits detection light, the receiver 202 of the first proximity sensor 200 receives the low beam signal reflected by the barrier 30 , and the receiver 302 of the second proximity sensor 300 receives The high beam signal reflected back by the barrier 30 . In some embodiments, probe sound waves may also be emitted by the transmitter. In other embodiments, the transmitter may also send other types of detection signals, such as laser light.

In this preferred embodiment, when the terminal is in a call state, a proximity sensor can be used to detect whether the terminal is close to a human face, and the terminal screen light is turned off when it is close to a human face to save the power of the terminal. Because when the terminal is held in the left-hand mode, the right part of the receiver is close to the face, and the left part is kept at a distance from the face, while when the terminal is held in the right-hand mode, when the left part of the receiver is close to the face, the right The side part is kept some distance from the face. Therefore, it is assumed that the transmitter of the first proximity sensor emits detection light, the receiver of the first proximity sensor receives the low beam signal, and the receiver of the second proximity sensor receives the high beam signal. Then, when the terminal is in the right-hand holding mode, it will detect the proximity data that the terminal is close to the face, and when the terminal is in the left-hand holding mode, it will erroneously detect the remote data that the terminal is far away from the face.

According to the above analysis, when the terminal is in the left-hand holding mode, the second proximity sensor should be turned on for distance detection, and when the terminal is in the right-hand holding mode, the first proximity sensor should be turned on for distance detection. Therefore, when the left-hand holding mode is acquired, the second proximity sensor identifier is acquired, wherein the second proximity sensor identifier indicates the second proximity sensor; when the right-hand holding mode is acquired, the first proximity sensor identifier is acquired, wherein the first proximity sensor identifier indicates The first proximity sensor.

Step S203, establishing an association relationship between the holding mode and the proximity sensor identifier and storing.

The analysis in step S203 shows that the left-hand holding mode corresponds to the second proximity sensor identifier, and the right-hand holding mode corresponds to the first proximity sensor identifier. Therefore, the left-hand holding mode and the second proximity sensor, and the right-hand holding mode and the first proximity sensor can be associated and stored. In some embodiments, it can be stored by building an association list. In some embodiments, a database may be established for storage.

To sum up, steps S201-S203 are preset processes for establishing an association relationship between the holding mode and the proximity sensor identifier. Next, the process of selecting a proximity sensor based on the holding mode is described in detail.

Step S204, acquiring capacitance information of the terminal frame.

When the terminal is in the left-hand holding mode, the posture of the user holding the terminal is generally as shown in FIG. 7 , the left thumb is placed on the left border of the terminal, and multiple fingers are placed on the right border of the terminal. Correspondingly, when the terminal is in the right-hand holding mode, the posture of the user holding the terminal is generally as shown in FIG. 8 .

According to the above analysis, the hand grip sensor 800 can be set on the terminal, the capacitive sensor 900 can be set in the terminal frame area, and the capacitive sensor 900 is connected to the input pin of the hand grip sensor 800, as shown in FIG. 9 . The capacitive sensor 900 can be used as one electrode plate of the capacitor, and when the human body approaches the capacitive sensor, the human body is equivalent to another electrode plate of the capacitor. Because other conditions are constant, the larger the facing area between the two polar plates, the larger the capacitance value. Therefore, when the terminal is in the left-hand holding mode, the left thumb is placed on the left frame of the terminal, and multiple fingers are placed on the right frame of the terminal, so the detected capacitance value of the left frame is smaller than that of the right frame. Similarly, when the terminal is in the right-hand holding mode, the capacitance value of the right frame of the terminal is smaller than the capacitance value of the left frame. Therefore, the holding mode of the terminal can be obtained by detecting the capacitance value. In some embodiments, two capacitive sensors are arranged on the borders on both sides of the terminal to detect capacitance information, where the capacitance information includes a capacitance value.

Step S205 , acquiring the holding mode of the terminal according to the capacitance information of the terminal frame, and acquiring the proximity sensor identifier corresponding to the currently enabled proximity sensor.

According to the analysis in step S204, when the capacitance information of the terminal frame is that the capacitance value of the left frame is smaller than the capacitance value of the right frame, the left-hand holding mode is obtained; when the capacitance information of the terminal frame is that the capacitance value of the right frame is smaller than that of the left frame value, gets the right-hand grip mode.

After the holding mode of the terminal is acquired, the proximity sensor identifier corresponding to the currently enabled proximity sensor is also acquired. For example, if the currently enabled proximity sensor is the first proximity sensor, the first proximity sensor identifier is acquired.

In some embodiments, the holding mode of the terminal may also be acquired according to the pressure information of the terminal frame by obtaining the pressure information of the terminal frame. The pressure information of the terminal frame includes the pressure value of the left frame of the terminal and the pressure value of the right frame of the terminal.

As shown in Figures 7 and 8, when the terminal is in the left-hand holding mode, the left frame of the terminal can detect one pressure value, while the right frame can detect multiple pressure values; similarly, when the terminal is held in the right hand In mode, the right border of the terminal can detect one pressure value, while the left border can detect multiple pressure values. Therefore, the number of pressure values on the left border of the terminal can be compared with the number of pressure values on the right border of the terminal to obtain a comparison result. When the comparison result is that the number of pressure values of the left frame is greater than the number of pressure values of the right frame, the right-hand holding mode is obtained; when the comparison result is that the number of pressure values of the left frame is less than the number of pressure values of the right frame, Get left-handed hold mode.

Step S206, acquiring the target proximity sensor identifier corresponding to the holding mode.

Then, the target proximity sensor identification corresponding to the holding mode is obtained. According to the preset process of steps S201-S203, if it is a left-handed holding mode, the right sensor identification is obtained, and if it is a right-handed holding mode, the left sensor identification is obtained. .

Step S207 , when it is determined that the proximity sensor identifier does not match the target proximity sensor identifier, switch the currently turned on proximity sensor to the target proximity sensor corresponding to the target proximity sensor identifier.

Next, it is determined whether the proximity sensor identification matches the target proximity sensor identification. If it does not match, it means that the proximity sensor may misjudge, so switch to the target proximity sensor corresponding to the target proximity sensor identification. If the target proximity sensor corresponding to the target proximity sensor identification is the first proximity sensor, turn off the transmitter and receiver of the second proximity sensor, and turn on the transmitter and receiver of the first proximity sensor, as shown in Figure 4; , if the corresponding target proximity sensor identified by the target proximity sensor is the second proximity sensor, turn off the transmitter and receiver of the first proximity sensor, and turn on the transmitter and receiver of the second proximity sensor, as shown in FIG. 5 .

If it matches, continue to detect the distance between the terminal and the obstacle through the currently turned on proximity sensor. When the proximity data is detected, the terminal screen brightness is turned off; when the remote data is detected, the terminal screen brightness is turned on.

The proximity sensor switching method of the embodiment of the present invention selects and turns on the corresponding proximity sensor according to the holding mode of the terminal, thus improving the detection accuracy of the proximity sensor.

In order to better implement the above method, in a preferred embodiment, a proximity sensor switching device is provided, and the proximity sensor switching device can be integrated in a terminal, and the terminal can specifically be a device such as a smart phone or a tablet computer. As shown in FIG. 10, the information protection device 10 includes a first acquisition module 11, a second acquisition module 12 and a switching module 13, which are specifically described as follows:

The first acquisition module 11 is used to acquire the holding mode of the terminal and the proximity sensor identifier corresponding to the currently turned on proximity sensor when the terminal is in a call state; the second acquisition module 12 is used to acquire the target proximity sensor corresponding to the holding mode The switch module 13 is configured to switch the currently turned on proximity sensor to the target proximity sensor corresponding to the target proximity sensor ID when it is determined that the proximity sensor ID does not match the target proximity sensor ID.

In some embodiments, the first obtaining module 11 includes a first obtaining sub-module 111 and a second obtaining sub-module 112, which are specifically described as follows:

The first obtaining sub-module 111 is used to obtain the capacitance information of the terminal frame; the second obtaining sub-module 112 is used to obtain the holding mode of the terminal according to the capacitance information of the terminal frame.

In some embodiments, a hand grip sensor 800 may be provided on the terminal, a capacitive sensor 900 may be provided in the terminal frame area, and the capacitive sensor 900 may be connected to the input pin of the hand grip sensor 800, as shown in FIG. 9 . The capacitive sensor 900 can be used as one electrode plate of the capacitor, and when the human body approaches the capacitive sensor, the human body is equivalent to another electrode plate of the capacitor. Because other conditions are constant, the larger the facing area between the two polar plates, the larger the capacitance value. Therefore, the capacitance information of the borders on both sides of the terminal can be obtained through the first obtaining sub-module 111 .

When the terminal is in the left-hand holding mode, the left thumb is placed on the left frame of the terminal, and multiple fingers are placed on the right frame of the terminal. At this time, the facing area between the two polar plates on the left is smaller than the positive area between the two polar plates on the right. Therefore, the capacitance value of the left frame obtained by the first obtaining sub-module 111 is smaller than the capacitance value of the right frame. Similarly, when the terminal is in the right-hand holding mode, the capacitance value of the right frame of the terminal obtained by the first obtaining sub-module 111 is smaller than the capacitance value of the left frame.

In some embodiments, when the capacitance information obtained by the first obtaining sub-module 111 is that the capacitance value of the left frame is smaller than the capacitance value of the right frame, the second obtaining sub-module 112 obtains the left-hand holding mode; when the first obtaining sub-module 111 obtains the left-hand holding mode; When the capacitance information obtained by 111 is that the capacitance value of the right frame is smaller than the capacitance value of the left frame, the second obtaining sub-module 112 obtains the right-hand holding mode.

In some embodiments, the first obtaining sub-module 111 is further configured to obtain the pressure information of the terminal frame; the second obtaining sub-module 112 is further configured to obtain the holding mode of the terminal according to the pressure information of the terminal frame.

The switching module 13 includes a closing sub-module 131 and an opening sub-module 132, which are specifically described as follows:

Turning off the sub-module 131 is used to turn off the transmitter and receiver of the currently turned on proximity sensor; turning on the sub-module 132 is used to turn on the transmitter and receiver of the target proximity sensor.

In some embodiments, if the corresponding target proximity sensor identified by the target proximity sensor is the first proximity sensor, the shutdown sub-module 131 is invoked to deactivate the transmitter and receiver of the second proximity sensor, and the activation sub-module 132 is invoked to activate the first proximity sensor The transmitter and receiver of the sensor are shown in Figure 4; similarly, if the target proximity sensor identified by the target proximity sensor corresponds to the target proximity sensor as the second proximity sensor, the shutdown sub-module 131 is called to shut down the transmitter and receiver of the first proximity sensor , and call the opening sub-module 132 to turn on the transmitter and receiver of the second proximity sensor, as shown in FIG. 5 .

The proximity sensor switching device 10 further includes a mode acquisition module 14, an identification acquisition module 15 and a storage module 16, which are specifically described as follows:

The mode acquisition module 14 is used to acquire the holding mode; the identification acquisition module 15 is used to acquire the proximity sensor identification corresponding to the holding mode; the storage module 16 is used to establish an association relationship between the holding mode and the proximity sensor identification and store.

In some embodiments, the pre-calling mode obtaining module 14 obtains the terminal holding mode, wherein the holding mode includes a left-hand holding mode and a right-hand holding mode. The left-hand holding mode means that the user holds the terminal with the left hand when making a call. As shown in FIG. 2 , the terminal receiver 100 is placed on the human ear, and at this time, the right part of the terminal receiver, that is, as shown in the area A, will be close to the human face. The right-hand holding mode means that the user holds the terminal with the right hand when making a call. At this time, the left part of the receiver 100 of the terminal, as shown in area B, will be close to the face.

Because when the terminal is in the left-hand holding mode, the second proximity sensor should be turned on for distance detection, and when the terminal is in the right-hand holding mode, the first proximity sensor should be turned on for distance detection. Therefore, when the mode acquisition module 14 acquires the left-handed holding mode, the identification acquisition module 15 acquires the second proximity sensor identification, wherein the second proximity sensor identification indicates the second proximity sensor; when the mode acquisition module 14 acquires the right-handed holding mode, the identification acquisition Module 15 obtains a first proximity sensor identification, wherein the first proximity sensor identification indicates a first proximity sensor.

The storage module 16 stores the associated relationship between the left-hand holding mode and the second proximity sensor, and the right-hand holding mode and the first proximity sensor. In some embodiments, the storage module 16 may establish an association relationship list for storage. In some embodiments, a database may be established by the storage module 16 for storage.

The proximity sensor switching device according to the embodiment of the present invention selects and turns on the corresponding proximity sensor according to the holding mode of the terminal, thus improving the detection accuracy of the proximity sensor.
