Problems solved by technology

However, these changes have brought a lot of trouble to mobile phone manufacturers when actually designing products. For example, although some manufacturers follow the design concept of the new operating system and reduce a physical key on the mobile phone, mobile phone manufacturers have to design an additional virtual button on the display screen. The menu key is for the user to call the function of menu setting, but the virtual menu setting key will occupy a valuable display area, which makes the display area of ​​the mobile phone screen smaller
Some other mobile phone manufacturers simply give up following the design of the new operating system and still use the definition of 4 keys, which not only does not conform to the design concept of the new operating system, but also makes the entire keyboard area crowded and narrow, making it inconvenient to operate

Embodiment Construction

[0019] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] figure 1 It is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the touch button control method of the present invention. Such as figure 1 As shown, the touch button control method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0021] Step S101: Obtain the touch dwell time of each touch button of at least two touch buttons;

[0022] Step S102: Obtain the time interval between the release event of each touch key and the press event of its adjacent touch key;

[0023] Step S103: judging whether the touch dwell time conforms to the preset touch dwell time and whether the interval time conforms to the preset interval time; and

[0024] Step S104: If all match, execute the default control command. The preset control command is a menu setting function. Of course, in other embodiments, the preset control command can also be designed as other command f...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for controlling touch keys. The method for controlling the touch keys comprises the following steps of: acquiring the touch retention time of each touch key of at least two touch keys, wherein the touch keys comprise entity touch keys or virtual touch keys; acquiring interval time between a release event of each touch key and an enter event of an adjacent touch key; judging whether the touch retention time accords with preset touch retention time or not, and whether the interval time accords with preset interval time or not; and if the touch retention time accords with the preset touch retention time, and the interval time accords with the preset interval time, executing a preset control command. By the method and the device for controlling the touch keys, the number of the entity touch keys and the virtual touch keys can be effectively reduced under the condition that the original key functions are kept.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electronic technology, in particular to a touch key control method and device. Background technique [0002] The latest mobile phone operating system redefines the physical operation keys of the mobile phone. The original design of the new operating system is to reduce physical keys from 4 physical keys to 3 physical keys. However, these changes have brought a lot of trouble to mobile phone manufacturers when actually designing products. For example, although some manufacturers follow the design concept of the new operating system and reduce a physical key on the mobile phone, mobile phone manufacturers have to design an additional virtual button on the display screen. The menu key is used for the user to call the function of menu setting, but the virtual menu setting key will take up a valuable display area, which makes the display area of ​​the mobile phone screen smaller. Some other mobile phone manufacturers s...
