The network system, etc., is not limited here.

[0070] Based on the foregoing mobile terminal hardware structure and communication system, various embodiments of the present invention are proposed.

[0071] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling virtual buttons, which is applied to a terminal, and the terminal may be the mobile terminal in the above-mentioned embodiment. image 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0072] Step 301: Determine the operating scenario where the terminal is located, and detect whether the operating scenario meets a preset scenario.

[0073] Among them, the terminal in the embodiment of the present invention may be a terminal used on the move, and in a broad sense includes a mobile phone, a notebook, a tablet computer, and even a vehicle-mounted computer. However, in most cases, it refers to mobile phones or smart phones and tablets with multiple application functions. With the rapid development of integrated circuit technology, the terminal already has a strong processing capability, which also adds a broader development space to the terminal. The above-mentioned terminals have the ability to access the Internet, and are usually equipped with various operating systems, and various functions can be customized according to user needs.

[0074] The terminal determines the operating scenario in which it is located. The terminal may obtain the operating mode in which it is located, and the operating mode may be the display mode of the terminal.

[0075] The terminal determines the operating scenario in which it is located, which may be that the terminal obtains the operating scenario of the application in itself, and determines the operating scenario of the application as its operating scenario. The applications in the terminal may include chat applications, camera applications, shopping applications, office applications, video applications, game applications, etc. When the terminal starts an application in the terminal, the application runs in the foreground of the terminal. At this time, the terminal can obtain the running scene of the application. During the running of the application, the running scene obtained by the terminal may include the content displayed during the running of the application, the switching of the display mode during the running of the application, and the virtual keys corresponding to the display mode during the running of the application.

[0076] Exemplarily, when the terminal starts its own application as a chat application, the running scene may be the chat content displayed on the terminal display interface during the running of the chat application; when the terminal starts its own application as a camera application, the running scene It can be a virtual button displayed on the terminal display interface during the running of a camera application, such as a virtual button for taking a photo; when the terminal starts its own application as a video application, the running scene can be displayed on the terminal during the running of the video application The multimedia content on the display interface and the virtual buttons used by the user to control the display effect of the multimedia content; when the terminal opens its own application as a game application, the running scene can be the switching of the display mode during the running of the game application, such as the game application The application interface is switched from the first display mode to the second display mode. The first display mode can be the portrait display mode, the second display mode can be the landscape display mode, and the portrait display mode refers to the short side of the terminal screen and The horizontal plane is parallel. The horizontal display mode refers to the mode in which the long side of the terminal screen is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset scene may include preset content, preset display mode switching conditions, preset virtual keys corresponding to the display mode, and so on.

[0078] Step 302: If the running scene matches the preset scene, determine the virtual key associated with the running scene.

[0079] Exemplarily, the preset scene may be a switching situation of a preset display mode, such as switching from a portrait display mode to a landscape display mode. After the terminal obtains the running scene of the application, it compares the running scene with the preset scene. It is assumed that the currently running application in the foreground of the terminal is a game application, and the running scene obtained by the terminal indicates that the game application is displayed in portrait mode Switch to the horizontal display mode, then the terminal determines that the running scene matches the preset scene.

[0080] It should be noted that the virtual key associated with the running scene can be a virtual key used to control the display effect of the display content of the application interface during the running of the application, or it can be a virtual menu displayed on the display interface of the terminal during the running of the application. Buttons, virtual buttons on the main interface, and virtual buttons for returning; of course, the virtual buttons associated with the running scene may also include various virtual buttons among the above-mentioned virtual buttons.

[0081] Step 303: Change the touch mode of the virtual button.

[0082] Wherein, when the terminal determines that the running scene matches the preset scene, it then determines the virtual key associated with the running scene and changes the touch mode of the virtual key.

[0083] The terminal changes the touch mode of the virtual button, that is, the virtual button is changed from the first touch mode to the second touch mode. The first touch mode and the second touch mode respectively correspond to different touch parameters. In this way, intelligent adjustment The touch mode of the virtual button improves the intelligence of the terminal.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the terminal changes the touch mode of the virtual buttons, the following steps may be performed:

[0085] Generate and output a prompt message indicating that the touch mode of the virtual key has been changed.

[0086] Among them, the prompt information includes description information of the changed touch mode. The terminal can display prompt information on the current running interface of the application, so that after the user adjusts the touch mode of the virtual button on the terminal, the touch mode is immediately obtained, and then the virtual button is touched based on the new touch mode .

[0087] In another embodiment of the present invention, the running scene of the terminal is the running scene of the application running in the foreground of the terminal. After the terminal changes the touch mode of the virtual buttons, the following steps may be performed:

[0088] If it is detected that the application is switched from the foreground of the terminal to the background of the terminal, the touch mode of the virtual button is switched to the touch mode before the change.

[0089] Among them, after the terminal changes the touch mode of the virtual button, the user uses the changed touch mode to touch the virtual button, and the user exits the application from the foreground. At this time, the application runs in the background of the terminal, and the terminal touches the virtual button. The control mode is switched to the touch mode before the change, so that the user can use the original touch mode corresponding to the virtual button to control other applications or perform setting operations on the terminal.

[0090] In another embodiment of the present invention, after the terminal changes the touch mode of the virtual buttons, the following steps may be performed:

[0091] First, if an application message is detected, the priority of the application message is obtained.

[0092] Wherein, the application message may be a message of any application in the terminal, such as a call message, a short message message, and an email message. When the terminal detects the application message, the priority of the application message is obtained. It should be noted that the terminal can set the priority of the application message corresponding to the application based on the usage frequency of the application; of course, the terminal can also set the priority of the application message corresponding to the application based on other methods, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention , Subject to the control method of the virtual key of the present invention.

[0093] Secondly, if the priority is greater than the preset priority, the feature information of the application message is acquired, and the feature information is displayed on the display interface of the preset application.

[0094] Wherein, the terminal determines that the priority of the application message is greater than the preset priority, acquires characteristic information of the application message, and displays the characteristic information on the display interface of the preset application. For example, when the user is playing a game, the terminal obtains the application message of the SMS application, and the terminal determines that the priority of the application message is greater than the preset priority, obtains the keyword of the application message, and displays the keyword in the game interface.

[0095] The virtual button control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention obtains the running scene of the application when the terminal starts the application in the terminal; detects whether the running scene meets the preset scene; if the running scene meets the preset scene, it is determined with the running scene Associated virtual buttons, and change the touch mode of the virtual buttons; that is, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal determines that the operating scene it is in conforms to the preset scene, it can perform the touch mode of the virtual buttons associated with the operating scene. The modification solves the problem that the virtual buttons cannot be effectively controlled in the prior art, which leads to the poor intelligence of the terminal, realizes the effective control of the virtual buttons, and improves the intelligence of the terminal.

[0096] Based on the foregoing embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling virtual buttons, which is applied to a terminal, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0097] Step 401: Determine the operating scenario where the terminal is located, and detect whether the operating scenario meets the preset scenario.

[0098] Step 402: If the running scene characterization terminal switches from the first display mode to the second display mode, it is determined that the running scene meets the preset scene, and the virtual key associated with the running scene is determined.

[0099] Wherein, the layout of the interface elements in the first display mode and the second display mode are different. Interface elements may include display characters, virtual keys, etc. The layout of interface elements represents the relative positional relationship between interface elements.

[0100] Exemplarily, the first display mode may be a portrait display mode, and the second display mode may be a landscape display mode. The portrait display mode refers to the mode where the short side of the terminal screen is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the landscape display mode refers to the terminal The mode where the long side of the screen is parallel to the horizontal plane. When the user is playing the game, if the terminal detects that the game interface is switched from the portrait display mode to the landscape display mode, at this time, the original in the game interface, such as the interface on the same horizontal plane in the portrait display mode

[0101] In the embodiment of the present invention, in step 402, if the operating scene characterization terminal switches from the first display mode to the second display mode, the operating scene is determined to conform to the preset scene, and the virtual key associated with the operating scene is determined, step 403 can be selected. Or step 404;

[0102] Step 403: Obtain the target configuration file of the virtual button, and change the touch mode of the virtual button according to the target configuration file.

[0103] The virtual keys include virtual keys arranged in the first area of ​​the display screen of the terminal. The target configuration file is used to adjust the correspondence between the touch operation of the virtual button and the touch response.

[0104] Exemplary, combined Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 Is a schematic diagram of the game application interface, the first area can be Figure 5 The area where the first virtual button 51, the second virtual button 52 and the third virtual button 53 are located (the first area is Figure 5 The area marked with a dashed frame 50). It should be noted that the virtual buttons in the first area are used to control the interface jump. For example, the first virtual button 51 is used to jump to the previous interface of the current interface, the second virtual button 52 is used to jump to the system interface of the terminal, and the third virtual button 53 is used to jump to include all running items in the terminal. Application thumbnail interface.

[0105] Changing the touch mode of the virtual button in the first area refers to changing the correspondence between the touch operation of the virtual button and the touch response. For example, before the change is made, if the user touches the first virtual button 51 once, the terminal executes a jump instruction to jump to the previous interface of the current interface. After the change, the user touches the first virtual button 51 three times, and the terminal executes a jump instruction to jump to the previous interface of the current interface.

[0106] Step 404: Map the function of the virtual button to the physical button, and the virtual button is not displayed in the running scene.

[0107] The virtual keys include virtual keys set in the second area of ​​the display screen of the terminal, and the terminal includes physical keys, and the physical keys are set in an area other than the display screen of the terminal. The second area is different from the first area.

[0108] Exemplary, combined Figure 5 , Image 6 with Figure 7 As shown, the second area can be Figure 5 with Image 6 The area except the first area on the display interface in. The physical buttons of the terminal can be Image 6 The fingerprint recognition button 60 on the back of the terminal in the terminal, the virtual buttons in the second area include Figure 7 The first virtual selection button 71, the second virtual selection button 72, the third virtual selection button 73, and the fourth virtual selection button 74 in. The four virtual selection buttons in the second area are used to select the game character in the second area. For example, the first virtual selection button 71 is used to select character 1, the second virtual selection button 72 is used to select character 2, the third virtual selection button 73 is used to select character 3, and the fourth virtual selection button 74 is used to select character 4. The terminal can map the functions of the first virtual selection button 71, the second virtual selection button 72, the third virtual selection button 73, and the fourth virtual selection button 74 to the fingerprint recognition button 60, and the fingerprint recognition button 60 is not displayed in the running scene. , Figure 7 The four virtual selection buttons in the second area are marked with dotted lines in the middle, which means that after the terminal maps the functions of the virtual buttons to the physical buttons, the four virtual selection buttons are not displayed in the running scene. Further, the user can use the fingerprint recognition button 60 to move between the four characters by sliding clockwise or counterclockwise, and select a character according to the stay time on a certain character for a preset time such as 1 minute, such as Figure 7 The bold border of the middle character 4 shows that this character is the character selected by the user through the fingerprint identification button 60. In this way, it is possible to avoid the problem of performing related operations on the objects contained in the game interface on the terminal display interface, blocking the interface and causing poor interaction effects.

[0112] Step 802: If the content displayed in the running scene meets the preset content, and the virtual buttons are used to control the content display process, it is determined that the running scene meets the preset scene, and the virtual buttons associated with the running scene are determined.

[0113] Among them, assuming that the preset content is multimedia content, then the terminal detects that the content displayed in the operating scene where it is located is multimedia content, and the virtual button is used to control the content display process, then it is determined that the operating scene meets the preset scene. And determine the virtual key associated with the running scene.

[0114] In the embodiment of the present invention, in step 802, if the content displayed in the running scene meets the preset content, and the virtual buttons are used to control the display process of the content, it is determined that the running scene matches the preset scene, and after determining the virtual buttons associated with the running scene , You can choose to perform step 803 or step 804;

[0123] Wherein, when the terminal determines that the running scene meets the preset scene, the virtual key in the second display mode is determined as the virtual key associated with the running scene. That is, the terminal only changes the touch mode for the virtual keys in the second display mode after the switching.

[0124] Step 903: Map the function of the virtual button to the physical button, and the virtual button is not displayed in the running scene.
