Tactile generation method for virtual button position in mobile terminal

Abstract

A tactile generation method for a virtual button position in a mobile terminal, characterized in that it includes the following steps: step 1, calculate the screen division scale according to the screen size of the terminal device and the number of horizontal and vertical pixels; step 2, according to the screen division obtained in step 1 Scale and the boundary of the virtual button, divide the screen into the outer area of ​​the button boundary, the inner area of ​​the button boundary, the button surface area and the area not related to the button; step 3, specify according to the position, speed and current area of ​​the finger moving on the screen Vibrate and stop time intervals for mobile devices to get different vibration patterns. The present invention enables the intelligent mobile terminal to generate the boundary touch of the virtual button on the screen without adding additional hardware costs; it provides a mobile terminal device with a touch screen without looking at the screen when driving a car, manipulating mechanical equipment, or manipulating smart home appliances. An interaction method to the button, which improves the user experience and the security of executing program commands.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mobile terminals, in particular to a method for generating touch sensations of virtual button positions in a mobile terminal. technical background [0002] At present, mobile terminal devices represented by IOS, Android and WindowsPhone have been widely used. Such devices usually have touchable display screens. Users can click the buttons displayed on the screen to execute corresponding commands. At the same time, such devices also have The flat motor can provide vibration prompts to the user. [0003] When users want to tap a virtual button, they often need to glance at where the button is located on the display before they can tap it correctly. In some application scenarios, such as: driving a car, using applications to manipulate machinery and equipment, and controlling smart home appliances, the process of clicking after looking at the screen may reduce the user experience, delay the timing of the op...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In some application scenarios, such as: driving a car, using applications to manipulate machinery and equipment, and controlling smart home appliances, the process of clicking after looking at the screen may reduce the user experience, delay the timing of the operation, and even cause the user to distract and cause security incident

[0004] In order to allow the user to click on the virtual button without looking at the screen, there are currently two solutions in this field: 1. When the button is clicked, the terminal device vibrates to remind the user, but the vibration of a single frequency cannot provide the user with the exact location of the button 2. Using physical buttons (such as buttons with Bluetooth function), this kind of button will not only add extra Hardware costs, and usually only a single command can be sent (such as answering the phone, taking a photo, returning to the main interface), making the button functions relatively fixed, unable to cope with changing application environments and user needs
