Problems solved by technology

The defect in the related technology is that in order to realize the control of the terminal by the physical keys, it is necessary to obtain the functional interface. When the functional interface is not open to the outside world and is difficult to obtain, it is impossible to use the physical keys to control the terminal.

Embodiment 1

[0121] Embodiment 1 Utilize the above method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure to control a mobile phone with a touch screen. The mobile phone has a physical button 21A, which is applied in the following scenario: the mobile phone downloads and installs an application that uses the physical button to control the terminal, such as Figure 5A As shown, the mobile phone proceeds as follows:

[0122] In step S501, a floating window 21B corresponding to the physical key 21A is generated in the application selection interface of the touch screen.

[0123] Such as Figure 2A As shown, a dot is generated in the application selection interface of the mobile phone, and the dot is a floating window 21B, and the floating window 21B corresponds to the physical button 21A.

[0124] In step S502, a touch operation on the touch screen is detected, and when the touch operation is detected to drag the floating window 21B, the floating window 21B is moved to the application ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for operating a terminal with physical keys. By the adoption of the method and device for operating the terminal with the physical keys, achievement of operation of the terminal with the physical keys is free of limitation of the fact whether a functional interface is successively obtained or not. The method is applied to the terminal with a touch screen and comprises the following steps that floating windows corresponding to the physical keys are generated on the touch screen; operation conducted on the physical keys is detected; when the situation that one physical key is pressed is detected, the pressing operation is mapped to the position, where the corresponding floating window is located, on the touch screen. By the adoption of the method and device for operating the terminal with the physical keys, the adoption of the functional interface can be avoided, achievement of operation of the terminal with the physical keys is free of limitation of the fact whether a functional interface is obtained successively or not, the application range of the method that the terminal is operated with the physical keys is widened, and the process of achievement of operation of the terminal with the physical keys is simplified.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular to a method and device for controlling a terminal by using physical keys. Background technique [0002] Terminals with touch screens are more and more widely used, and the touch operation in the terminal exposes the problems that the touch screen has no tactile sensation and no click feedback. In the related art, there is a technical solution of using physical keys to control a terminal with a touch screen. In related technologies, the control of functions or games in the terminal by physical buttons is realized by adapting functional interfaces one by one. For example, map the interface of each function in the game to each button in the gamepad, and control the game through the buttons in the gamepad. For another example, a certain functional interface in the mobile phone is mapped to a physical button, and the function corresponding to the functional in...
