Virtual key triggering method and apparatus, and terminal

Abstract

The invention provides a virtual key triggering method and apparatus, and a terminal, and relates to the technical field of communications. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a preset corresponding relationship between operation and a virtual key set when it is detected that a display screen of the terminal receives the contact operation; according to the corresponding relationship between operation and the virtual key set, determining the virtual key set corresponding to the contact operation, and displaying the virtual key set; after the virtual key set is displayed, if it is detected that the display screen of the terminal receives sliding operation, obtaining a sliding track of the sliding operation, wherein the sliding operation and the contact operation are continuous operations; and according to the sliding track of the sliding operation, determining a target virtual key, and generating and executing a key instruction corresponding to the target virtual key. According to the scheme, the problem that the user experience is reduced because an existing scheme influences browsed contents of a user is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method, device and terminal for triggering a virtual button. Background technique [0002] For traditional physical buttons, frequent operations are often required during use, which is very prone to damage, which increases hardware costs, and the design and layout of physical buttons will also increase the overall size of the mobile terminal. Therefore, only a few function buttons that are less frequently used and user-friendly, such as the power button and the volume button, are set as physical buttons, while the return button, home button, keyboard, etc. are generally used. Realized by means of virtual buttons on the screen. [0003] Currently, the virtual buttons of smart terminals on the market are implemented in one way, which is set at the bottom of the screen display area, occupying a fixed area, and the user can click the defined button in this area to c...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, occupying a fixed area on the screen and setting virtual buttons reduces the effective content display area of ​​the screen, and the way of setting the floating button not only needs to be operated after triggering the floating button, but also the floating button can be turned into a Translucent and can be dragged arbitrarily, but the display area will still affect the user's browsing content, and the user also needs to frequently drag the floating button to both sides of the screen to accommodate one-handed operation
