In following embodiment, input media is a contact detecting apparatus.
Figure 11 depicts according to an embodiment of the invention, in order to control the process flow diagram of the method for an electronic installation.In the examples below that, be illustrate as example with a mobile phone, but the following example can be used on other electronic installations.As shown in figure 11, the method in order to control an electronic installation provided by the present invention comprises:
Step 1101
Input media is started under the situation that display is closed.In one embodiment, input media is angle of inclination according to electronic installation and starts, such as, step 607 in Fig. 6, but does not limit.
Step 1103
The user's input from input media is received, such as step 609 under the situation that display is closed.User herein inputs the input do not limited as people, and can be any input be transfused to detected by device.In the examples below that, user is input as a contact input, and it can be a single contact or contacts more.In addition, in the following example, input media is a contact detecting apparatus (such as aforesaid Touch Screen), but does not limit.
Step 1105
Do you judge that user's input is effective or invalid? if effectively, to step 1107, if invalid, to step 1109.
Step 1107
Execution one predetermined function is inputted, such as step 611 according to user.
Step 1109
Execution one predetermined function is not inputted according to user.In one embodiment, user's input is left in the basket, and making does not have predetermined function to be performed according to user's input.
Please notice, abovementioned steps 1101-1105 can be regarded as user's input judging method.
Many methods can be used to judge that user's input is effective or invalid, will describe in detail down below.In the examples below that, if user's input is judged as invalid, it can be left in the basket.But, do not limit.
For example, whether an available P detecting device detection of handset is in pocket.If P sensor demonstrates one close to event, therefore mobile phone is judged as in pocket, and all executions can be judged as invalid to the contact input of electronic installation and be left in the basket.
In another embodiment, the contact input that input media detects can be judged if it is a palm contacts input.If palm contacts inputs, then this contact input is judged as invalid and is left in the basket.For example, as shown in figure 12, if a palm contacts electronic installation M, possible user grips electronic installation M and does not intend to implement any gesture to it, and therefore the gesture of corresponding palm can be left in the basket.Many methods can be used to judge whether contact input is a palm contacts input.For example, whether can be a palm contacts input according to the position judgment contact input of contact input on x, y, z axle.In one example, if the position of contact input in x, y-axis falls into a preset range, then judge that contact is input as a palm contacts input.In another embodiment, if the position of contact input on x, y, z axle falls into a preset range, then judge that contact is input as a palm contacts input.In another embodiment, if the position of contact input in z-axis falls into a preset range, then judge that contact is input as a palm contacts input.In another embodiment, according to the contact area size of contact input, can judge whether contact input is a palm contacts input.Such as, if the contact area size of contact input is greater than a predefined contact area critical value (namely, a predetermined value), then judge that contact is input as a palm contacts input.
In another embodiment, can judge whether the contact input detected by input media is sharp object contact input (such as key or coin).If result is yes, then this contact input is judged as invalid and is left in the basket.Many methods can be used to judge whether contact input is a sharp object contact input.For example, according to the contact area size of contact input, can judge whether contact input is a sharp object contact input.Such as, if the contact area size of contact input is less than a predefined contact area critical value (namely, a predetermined value), then judge that contact is input as a sharp object contact input.
In another embodiment, contact input can be judged whether in overtime state.Contact detected by overtime state representation input media inputs is longer than a predetermined time period its T.T..If result is yes, then this contact input is judged as invalid and is left in the basket.For example, as shown in figure 13, user grips mobile phone M by hand H and finger F is permanently connected to the contact detecting apparatus TSD of mobile phone M.In one example, if more than a predetermined time period (i.e. a predetermined value) during the contact that finger F produces inputs lasting T.T., the contact input that finger F produces can be judged as in overtime state and be left in the basket.Another examples of implementation of overtime state illustrate in fig. 14.In this instance, finger F slides into position P2 from the position P1 of the contact detecting apparatus TSD of mobile phone M.In one example, if more than a predetermined time period (i.e. a predetermined value) during the T.T. that contact input (namely sliding into position P2 from position P1) that finger F produces is lasting, the contact input that finger F produces can be judged as in overtime state and be left in the basket.
In another embodiment, if more than a predetermined time period during contact input rests on the T.T. of position P2, the contact input that finger F produces can be judged as in overtime state and be left in the basket.In another embodiment of overtime state (not illustrating at this), user exceedes once with the number of times of the contact detecting apparatus TSD of finger contact mobile phone M.In this instance, if the time durations that the last contact input that finger F produces continues is more than a predetermined time period (i.e. a predetermined value), the multiple-contact input that finger F produces can be judged as in overtime state and be left in the basket.And in another embodiment, if the interval time that in multiple-contact input, wantonly twice adjacent contact inputs is more than a predetermined time period, the multiple-contact input that finger F produces can be judged as in overtime state and be left in the basket.
In another embodiment, be that the quantity that the contact simultaneously detected with contact detecting apparatus inputs judges that contact input is effective or invalid.Such as, if the quantity that the contact that contact detecting apparatus detects inputs is greater than three simultaneously, then these contact inputs are judged as invalid and ignore.Critical mass (namely predetermined quantity) is set as that the benefit of three is, user controls mobile phone with two fingers as usually as shown in the 16th (a) figure, the 16th (b) figure, the 17th (a) figure and the 17th (b) figure.Or user may grip mobile phone (a contact input so can be detected) with a finger, and to accuse mobile phone processed (another contact input so can be detected) on the other hand.Or user may grip mobile phone (a contact input so can be detected) with proficiency, and with another hand control mobile phone (another contact input so can be detected).Therefore, if contact input quantity be greater than three, then user may as shown in figure 15 as grip mobile phone, do not want to bestow gesture to mobile phone.Therefore, critical mass is set as three, can filter out not need contact input, but the control mobile phone that user still can be smooth-going.
In another embodiment, user exceedes once with the number of times of the contact detecting apparatus TSD of finger contact mobile phone M.If the distance of wantonly twice adjacent contact input is more than a critical distance in multiple-contact input, (that is a predetermined value), the multiple-contact input that finger F produces can be judged as in overtime state and be left in the basket.
In another embodiment, if the position of contact input is in a predetermined edge region of the contact detecting apparatus TSD of mobile phone M, contact input is judged as invalid and is left in the basket.In one embodiment, as shown in figure 18, a predetermined edge region of the contact detecting apparatus TSD of mobile phone M comprises a coboundary EU, a lower limb ELO, an a left hand edge EL and right hand edge ER of contact detecting apparatus TSD.
