Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic atomizers, and in particular to a screen control method and electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of electronic technology, some electronic atomizers are also configured with touch screens to provide users with richer information display and interactive experience. In the prior art, users can lock or unlock the screen by tapping, sliding, and setting the time length, but in daily use scenarios, a user's slight touch or friction with other items when putting the hand into the pocket can cause screen mis-touch, thereby triggering unnecessary operations, such as misadjusting parameters, misopening or closing functions, and the like, which seriously affects the user experience.

[0003] In addition, the locking and unlocking mechanism of the touch screen in the prior art is limited, that is, the screen automatically hibernates after no operation for a preset time. Although some large-screen electronic atomizers equipped with physical buttons can realize one-key screen-off through the buttons, some manufacturers have canceled the configuration of physical buttons due to cost control and simple design, resulting in a significant shortcoming in the anti-mis-touch function of such products. Although the timeout standby locking mechanism is effective, it needs to balance the immediacy and safety of user experience. If the waiting time is set too short, it will frequently interrupt the user's normal operation; if it is too long, it will weaken the actual effectiveness of the anti-mis-touch function, making it difficult to meet the needs of both. SUMMARY

[0004] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a screen control method and electronic device, which can reduce the mis-touch operation of the touch screen of the electronic device in the prior art.

[0005] In a first aspect, to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides a screen control method applied to an electronic device with a touch screen, which comprises the following steps:

[0006] The electronic device wakes up the screen and enters an unlocked mode in response to a screen wake-up event of a user;

[0007] The electronic device responds to an unlocking operation input by the user through the touch screen and judges whether the unlocking operation meets a preset unlocking condition. When the preset unlocking condition is met, the electronic device generates an unlocking instruction, and the unlocking instruction is generated by at least one touch of the touch screen among a plurality of preset unlocking operations. If not, the lock screen state is maintained or the screen is turned off;

[0008] The electronic device responds to the unlocking instruction to unlock the screen, and the touch screen enters an unlocked screen state;

[0009] In the unlocked screen state, the electronic device responds to a specific operation of a user or an unlocking timeout to control the touch screen to enter a locked screen state.

[0010] In some embodiments, the screen wake-up event comprises at least one of the following events:

[0011] The sensor detects a user's puffing action of puffing the electronic device;

[0012] The rated voltage or current input through the charging interface is detected;

[0013] The tapping action detected by the touch screen.

[0014] In some embodiments, in the lock screen state, the electronic device only accepts the unlocking operation.

[0015] In some embodiments, the preset unlocking condition comprises:

[0016] Touch unlocking condition: the time of continuously touching the touch screen is equal to or greater than the preset time;

[0017] Slide unlocking condition: the sliding trajectory of the user on the touch screen is consistent with the preset sliding trajectory shape, or the sliding trajectory length is greater than the preset sliding trajectory length;

[0018] Tapping unlocking condition: the number of consecutive taps of the user on the touch screen is equal to the preset number of taps.

[0019] In some embodiments, in the unlocked mode, if the area of the touch screen touched is greater than the preset threshold, the touch screen enters the lock screen state.

[0020] In some embodiments, in the unlocked state, the specific operation is the user's operation of the electronic device to output output power.

[0021] In some embodiments, in the unlocked state, the set timeout time of the unlocking timeout is 5-10 seconds.

[0022] In a second aspect, the present application also provides an electronic device, which comprises:

[0023] A sensor unit for generating a wake-up instruction in response to a user's specific operation;

[0024] A touch screen for displaying the current state of the electronic device and accepting the user's current unlocking operation;

[0025] A function unit for outputting power or executing a set working mode;

[0026] The control unit is configured to determine whether the current unlocking operation meets a preset unlocking condition, generate an unlocking instruction when the preset unlocking condition is met, and unlock the touch screen according to the unlocking instruction, so that the touch screen can unlock a touch operation other than the unlocking operation to change the power or working mode of the function unit.

[0027] The unlocking instruction is generated by at least one of a plurality of preset unlocking operations.

[0028] In some embodiments, the sensor is an airflow sensor configured to generate the wake-up instruction in response to a user puffing action on the electronic device.

[0029] In some embodiments, the electronic device is an atomizer, and the function unit is an atomization assembly configured to heat an atomization substrate to generate an aerosol for a user to puff.

[0030] The present application also provides a computer program product including instructions, which, when executed on an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform the screen control method of any one of the embodiments of the first aspect.

[0031] Compared with the related art, the screen control method and the electronic device disclosed in the present application can reduce the risk of the electronic device being mistakenly touched by a user, and reduce the situation that the screen is unlocked due to a user's mistaken operation. In addition, after the screen is unlocked, the electronic device can also return to a locked or powered-off state according to a user operation or an unlocking time length, thereby reducing power consumption of the electronic device.

[0033] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, so the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0035] The present application provides a screen control method applied to an electronic device with a touch screen, as shown in Figure 1 The method comprises:

[0036] S01: The electronic device wakes up the touch screen in response to a screen wake-up event input by a user and enters an unlocked mode.

[0037] The touch screen of the electronic device is usually in a standby or lock screen state before unlocking, wherein the standby state includes a case where the screen is turned off, in which state the electronic device only accepts the wake-up operation of the user, and the screen of the touch screen does not accept touch feedback. It can be understood that after the electronic device is woken up from the standby mode, it can enter the lock screen state, and the touch screen cannot respond to operations other than the input of the user's unlocking operation. For example, taking an electronic atomizer (e-cigarette) as an example, when the electronic atomizer is in a standby (lock screen) state, the touch screen is in a lock screen or turned off state, and before the touch screen is woken up (turned on), the user cannot also realize the corresponding power output operation through the touch operation on the touch screen. The user can only wake up the touch screen by triggering a preset screen wake-up event to enter the unlocked mode.

[0038] The screen wake-up event includes at least one of the following events:

[0039] Event one: the sensor detects the user's puffing action of puffing the electronic device.

[0040] A user expects to obtain an aerosol that can be inhaled by the electronic device through a puffing action. The electronic atomizer detects the change in airflow velocity and air pressure caused by the user puffing on the electronic device through a sensor. The change in airflow velocity and air pressure can be converted into an electrical signal that is recognized by the electronic device and can be responded to. Of course, before the electronic device outputs the aerosol, the electronic device needs to confirm whether the operation is a conscious control by the user. Further, the electronic device needs to require the user to input an unlocking operation again to solve the locking of the electronic atomizer, for example, when the user requires to change the output power, taste or other functions of the electronic atomizer, the user should first unlock the electronic atomizer.

[0041] Event two: detecting the rated voltage or current input through the charging interface.

[0042] To facilitate the user to reuse the electronic atomizer, the electronic atomizer has a power supply that can be repeatedly charged, and the electronic atomizer has a charging interface. The electronic atomizer can judge whether the electronic atomizer is in a charging state by detecting the change in the input voltage or current. In the charging state, the electronic atomizer is in a locked state, and the user can only obtain the current information of the electronic atomizer through the touch screen, such as power information, oil remaining information, etc.

[0043] Event three: a tapping action detected by the touch screen.

[0044] It can be understood that when the user does not use the electronic atomizer, the electronic atomizer is usually stored in the pocket. When the user is in a motion state, the touch screen may be intermittently or continuously in contact with the inner wall of the pocket. In general, the touch screen is in continuous contact with the inner wall of the pocket for a longer time. Therefore, the intermittent contact to wake up the touch screen is a priority condition. Further, to avoid the touch screen being frequently woken up when the user is in motion, the intermittent contact action to trigger the wake-up should be completed within a limited time. In some embodiments, the action of intermittently contacting the touch screen is tapping the touch screen.

[0045] S02: The electronic device responds to the unlocking operation input by the user through the touch screen to determine whether the unlocking operation meets the preset unlocking condition. When the preset unlocking condition is met, step S03 is performed; otherwise, step S05 is performed.

[0046] When the electronic atomizer enters the unlocking mode, the user inputs an unlocking operation through the touch screen, expecting to unlock the electronic atomizer or the lock screen state of the touch screen through the unlocking operation, and expecting to be able to change the working state or mode of the electronic atomizer through the touch screen after unlocking.

[0047] If the user inputs a corresponding unlocking operation through the touch screen, the electronic atomizer needs to determine whether the received unlocking operation meets the unlocking condition corresponding to the current unlocking operation, so as to avoid unlocking operation due to user misoperation.

[0048] It can be understood that different current unlocking operations correspond to different unlocking conditions, but each unlocking operation corresponds to a certain specific unlocking condition. The preset unlocking condition includes at least one of the following conditions:

[0049] Touch unlocking condition: the time of continuously touching the touch screen is equal to or greater than the preset time;

[0050] Sliding unlocking condition: the sliding track of the user on the touch screen is consistent with the preset sliding track shape, or the length of the sliding track is greater than the preset sliding track length;

[0051] Knocking unlocking condition: the number of continuous knocks of the user on the touch screen is equal to the preset number of knocks.

[0052] It can be understood that when the unlocking condition is the sliding touch unlocking condition, the preset electronic atomizer is unlocked after the touch screen is continuously touched for 2-5 seconds. Specifically, when the electronic atomizer is in the unlocked mode, the user continuously touches the touch screen for ≥2 seconds, the electronic atomizer determines that the unlocking condition is met, and the electronic atomizer will execute the next step in response to the establishment of the unlocking condition.

[0053] When the unlocking condition is the sliding unlocking condition, the user generates a sliding track on the touch screen by a finger or other tool that can trigger a sliding track on the touch screen. The sliding track can be a specific geometric pattern or a line. When the sliding track is a line, the length of the sliding track input by the user should be greater than or equal to the preset sliding track length. For example, the screen length of the touch screen is L, and the user presets the sliding track as L / 3-L / 2 of the screen length. When the length of the sliding track generated by the user when performing the unlocking operation is greater than the preset sliding track, the unlocking condition is met, and the electronic atomizer will execute the next step in response to the establishment of the unlocking condition.

[0054] When the unlocking condition is the knocking unlocking condition, the number of continuous knocks of the user on the touch screen is equal to the preset number of knocks, and the unlocking condition is met. Specifically, the preset knocking unlocking condition is met when the number of knocks on the touch screen within 3 seconds is 3. When the number of knocks on the touch screen by the user within the specified time meets the requirement, the knocking unlocking condition is met, and the electronic atomizer will execute the next step in response to the establishment of the unlocking condition. When the number of knocks on the touch screen within the specified time exceeds the preset number, the electronic atomizer can maintain the locked screen state. Alternatively, the number of knocks on the touch screen reaches 3, but the duration of the 3 knocks is greater than 3 seconds, and the electronic atomizer can maintain the locked screen state.

[0055] Further, in the unlocked mode, if it is detected that the touched area of the touch screen is greater than a preset threshold, the touch screen enters the locked screen state.

[0056] S03: The electronic device generates an unlocking instruction and unlocks the screen in response to the unlocking instruction, and the touch screen enters an un-locked state, wherein the unlocking instruction is generated by at least one of a plurality of preset unlocking operations of touching the touch screen.

[0057] When the unlocking condition is met, the electronic atomizer generates an unlocking instruction and performs unlocking, and the touch screen enters an un-locked state. Specifically, in the un-locked state, the user can operate the touch screen to change the output power or working mode of the electronic atomizer.

[0058] S04: In the un-locked state, the electronic device enters a locked state in response to a specific operation of the user or an unlocking timeout.

[0059] It can be understood that after the touch screen is unlocked from the locked state, the user can change the output power or working mode of the electronic atomizer through the touch screen. However, if the touch screen is maintained in the un-locked state for a long time, the electronic atomizer will consume more power. Therefore, after the user performs a specific operation, the electronic atomizer controls the touch screen to return to the locked state or the off state. Alternatively, the setting timeout time of the unlocking timeout in the un-locked state is 5-10 seconds. After the preset time after the touch screen is unlocked, the electronic atomizer controls the touch screen to return to the locked state or the off state.

[0060] The specific operation can be an action of the user changing the output power or working mode of the electronic atomizer.

[0061] S05: Maintaining the locked state or the off state.

[0062] In a second aspect, the present application also provides an electronic device, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the electronic device comprises:

[0063] A sensor unit for generating a wake-up instruction in response to a specific operation of a user of the electronic device;

[0064] A touch screen for displaying the current state of the electronic device and accepting a current unlocking operation of the user;

[0065] A function unit for outputting power or performing a set working mode;

[0066] A control unit for determining whether the current unlocking operation meets a preset unlocking condition, generating an unlocking instruction when the preset unlocking condition is met, and unlocking the touch screen according to the unlocking instruction, so that the touch screen can be unlocked for touch operations other than the unlocking operation to change the output power or working mode of the function unit.

[0067] The unlocking instruction is generated by at least one of a plurality of preset unlocking operations of touching the touch screen.

[0068] Further, the electronic device provided in the embodiments can execute a program containing the screen control method described in the above embodiments.

[0069] Specifically, the electronic device in the above embodiments takes the atomizer as an example, and the functional unit of the atomizer is an atomization assembly for generating aerosol, and the generated aerosol is used for the user to smoke. It can be understood that the specific operation of the user operating the atomizer includes: smoking the atomizer through the suction nozzle of the atomizer, so that the air flow rate and air pressure in the air passage inside the atomizer change, and the action of causing the air flow rate and air pressure to change can be defined as a specific operation. Similarly, other electronic devices, such as mobile phones, trigger the mobile phone to generate electrical signals by pressing the keys or the pressure or texture of touching the touch screen, and then make the mobile phone touch screen be lighted up and wake up through the electrical signals.

[0070] In some embodiments, the sensor described above is an air flow sensor, which is used to generate a wake-up instruction in response to the user's smoking action on the atomizer.

[0071] In some embodiments, the electronic device described above is an atomizer, and the functional unit is an atomization assembly, which is used to heat the atomization substrate to generate aerosol for the user to smoke.

[0072] The present application also provides a computer program product comprising instructions which, when the computer program product is executed on an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform the screen control method described in any one of the embodiments of the first aspect.

[0073] The above only describes some or preferred embodiments of the present application, and neither the text nor the drawings can limit the scope of protection of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation using the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the scope of protection of the present application.
