[0029] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, a smart terminal with a display screen comprises a housing 1, a display screen 2, a touch panel 3 and a physical key 4 are sequentially embedded in the front panel of the housing 1 from top to bottom; a processor 5 is disposed in the housing 1;

[0031] The touch panel 3 is used to collect sliding operation instructions input by the user according to the display interface of the display screen 2;

[0032] The physical button 4 is used to collect the pressing operation instructions input by the user according to the display interface of the display screen 2;

[0033] The processor 5 is used to update the display interface according to the display interface of the display screen 2 and the sliding operation instruction corresponding to the display interface; it is also used to update the display interface according to the display interface of the display screen 2 and the pressing operation instruction corresponding to the display interface.

[0034] The functions of the virtual keys distributed on the touch screen in the prior art are transferred to the touchpad 3 and the physical keys 4, so that the distribution of the input keys is not affected by the size of the display screen 2; and the touchpad 3 and the physical keys 4 are located below the display screen 2. By reasonably setting the size and position distribution of the touchpad 3 and the physical keys 4, one-handed operation can be achieved. For example, the touchpad 3 and the physical keys 4 are set in an area of ​​60mmX80mm below the front panel of the shell 1 near the right side of the shell 1, for adult users, right-handed operation can be achieved; in addition, the touchpad 3 and the physical keys 4 are physical keys, and there is feedback when pressed, so blind operation can be achieved. Embodiment 2 of the present invention is a smart terminal with a display screen. Based on Embodiment 1, the processor 5 is specifically used to arrange the icons of each APP installed on the smart terminal in an array form for display on the display screen 2; and when the display interface of the display screen 2 is an icon array of APP, the icons in the icon array are matched one by one with the physical buttons 4 in a preset manner, and according to the pressing operation instruction collected by any physical button 4, an APP startup interface of the icon corresponding to any physical button 4 is generated, and the display interface is updated with the APP startup interface.

[0035] The icon of the APP in the display interface of the display screen 2 is corresponded to the physical button 4, and the user only needs to press the corresponding physical button 4 to complete the selection and startup of the APP; the APP can be started by one-handed operation nearby, which improves the convenience and speed of starting the APP; and when the user is familiar with the distribution of the icons and the physical button 4, the APP can be selected and started without looking at the smart terminal, that is, the APP is started in the blind operation mode.

[0036] Embodiment 3 of the present invention is a smart terminal with a display screen. Based on Embodiment 2, the physical key 4 includes ten numeric keys from 0 to 9, which effectively ensures the digital input of the smart terminal; and Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the nine numeric keys 1 to 9 are arranged in a 3X3 array, i.e., a nine-square grid arrangement, which is orderly arranged and convenient for numeric input. In specific implementation, when the smart terminal also needs to complete the input of English letters and Chinese characters, the English letter key function and the Chinese character stroke key function can be built into the numeric keys, so that the numeric keys can complete both numeric input and English letter and Chinese character input by switching states, i.e., realizing the existing nine-square grid input method.

[0037] Embodiment 4 of the present invention is a smart terminal with a display screen. Based on Embodiment 3, the processor 5 is specifically used to display the icons of each APP in a 3X3 array on the display screen 2, such as Figure 1 As shown; and when the display interface of the display screen 2 is a 3X3 icon array, the icons in the icon array are matched one by one with the nine digital keys 1 to 9 according to the position correspondence.

[0038] The APP icons are displayed in a 3X3 array, and the icons in the icon array correspond one-to-one with the nine number keys 1 to 9 arranged in a nine-square grid layout, that is, the icon in the i-th row and j-th column in the icon array corresponds to the number key in the i-th row and j-th column in the number key, where i∈{1,2,3}, j∈{1,2,3}. The corresponding relationship is clear, allowing users to quickly and accurately realize the correspondence between the APP icons and the number keys, further improving the convenience and speed of starting the APP.

[0039] Embodiment 5 of the present invention is a smart terminal with a display screen. Based on Embodiment 4, the processor 5 is specifically used to arrange the icons of each APP in a 3XN or NX3 array for display on the display screen 2; and when the display interface of the display screen 2 is a 3X3 icon array, according to the sliding operation instruction collected by the touch pad 3, the display interface is updated on the display screen 2 by scrolling the 3XN or NX3 icon array.

[0040] In a specific implementation, if the processor 5 arranges the icons of each APP in an array of 3×N, that is, 3 rows and N columns, Figure 4 As shown; when the display interface of the display screen 2 is a 3X3 icon array, the processor 5 can scroll and display this 3XN icon array to the left or right on the display screen 2 according to the left or right sliding operation instruction collected by the touch pad 3, that is, continuously update the display interface and update the 3X3 icon array in the display interface; when the left or right sliding operation instruction collected by the touch pad 3 is revoked, the 3X3 icon array of the current display interface is statically displayed on the display screen 2.

[0041] Similarly, if the processor 5 arranges the icons of each APP in an array of NX3, that is, N rows and 3 columns, Figure 5As shown; when the display interface of the display screen 2 is a 3X3 icon array, the processor 5 can scroll and display this NX3 icon array in an upward or downward manner on the display screen 2 according to the upward or downward sliding operation instruction collected by the touch pad 3, that is, continuously update the display interface to update the 3X3 icon array in the display interface; when the upward or downward sliding operation instruction collected by the touch pad 3 is revoked, the 3X3 icon array of the current display interface is statically displayed on the display screen 2.

[0042] Of course, in the specific implementation, it is not ruled out that when the sliding operation instruction collected by the touchpad 3 is revoked, the current display interface on the display screen 2 is not exactly a complete 3X3 icon array. It may be that there is a column (left or right scrolling display) or a row (up or down scrolling display) of incomplete icons at both ends of the scrolling direction. If this happens, the processor 5 can scroll the 3XN icon array or the NX3 icon array appropriately according to the direction of the scrolling display, such as scrolling the 3XN icon array to the left or right, or scrolling the NX3 icon array up or down, so that a complete 3X3 icon array is statically displayed on the display screen 2, thereby ensuring the correspondence between the APP icon and the numeric keypad.

[0043] This scrolling display of the APP icon array in combination with the touchpad 3 effectively improves the speed at which the user finds the icon of the target APP, and further improves the convenience and speed of starting the APP.

[0044] Embodiment 6 of the present invention is a smart terminal with a display screen. Based on Embodiment 4, the processor 5 is specifically used to arrange the icons of each APP in a 3x3 array, that is, a 3x3 icon array is arranged on each of the six faces of a cube, such as Figure 6 As shown, it is used for display on the display screen 2. And when the display interface of the display screen 2 is a 3X3 icon array, according to the sliding operation instruction collected by the touch panel 3, the display interface is updated on the display screen 2 by scrolling and displaying the icon array of the 3rd order magic mode.

[0045] In a specific implementation, if the processor 5 arranges the icons of each APP in an array in a 3X3 magic manner, when the display interface of the display screen 2 is a 3X3 icon array, the processor 5 can, according to the left or right sliding operation instruction collected by the touchpad 3, scroll the 3X3 magic array of icons on the display screen 2 to the left or right with the center of the 3X3 magic array of icons (i.e., the center of the cube) and parallel to the plane of the cube where the 3X3 icon array of the display interface is located as the rotation axis, that is, continuously update the display interface and update the 3X3 icon array in the display interface; when the left or right sliding operation instruction collected by the touchpad 3 is revoked, the 3X3 icon array of the current display interface is statically displayed on the display screen 2. Similarly, according to the upward or downward sliding operation instruction collected by the touchpad 3, the 3rd order magic mode icon array can be scrolled upward or downward on the display screen 2 with the horizontal line passing through the center of the 3rd order magic mode icon array (i.e. the center of the cube) and parallel to the plane of the cube where the 3X3 icon array of the display interface is located as the rotation axis, that is, the display interface is continuously updated to update the 3X3 icon array in the display interface; when the upward or downward sliding operation instruction collected by the touchpad 3 is revoked, the 3X3 icon array of the current display interface is statically displayed on the display screen 2.

[0046] Of course, in the specific implementation, it is not ruled out that when the sliding operation instruction collected by the touchpad 3 is revoked, the current display interface on the display screen 2 is not exactly a complete 3X3 icon array, and it may be partial icons of two adjacent surfaces of the 3rd-order magic mode icon array. If this happens, the processor 5 can scroll the 3rd-order magic mode icon array appropriately according to the direction of the scrolling display, such as scrolling the 3rd-order magic mode icon array to the left, right, up or down, so that a complete 3X3 icon array is statically displayed on the display screen 2, thereby ensuring the correspondence between the APP icon and the numeric keys.

[0047] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when there are many APP icons installed on the smart terminal, and one 3-order magic array cannot arrange them, the processor 5 arranges the icons of each APP in multiple 3-order magic arrays, and when the display interface of the display screen 2 is a 3X3 icon array, the processor 5 switches to display different 3-order magic icon arrays according to the pre-set switching operation instructions. Similarly, this scrolling display of the APP icon array in combination with the touchpad 3 effectively improves the speed at which users find the target APP icon, and further improves the convenience and speed of starting the APP.

[0048] Embodiment 7 of the present invention is a smart terminal with a display screen. Based on Embodiment 5 or 6, the touch panel 3 is a pressure-sensitive touch panel; the processor 5 is specifically used to determine the scrolling speed of the icon array scrolled on the display screen 2 according to the pressure of the sliding operation instruction collected by the touch panel 3. The update speed of the icon array on the display screen is controllable, which is helpful for users to find the icon of the target APP.

[0049] Embodiment 8 of the present invention is a smart terminal with a display screen. Based on any one of Embodiments 1 to 7, the processor 5 is specifically configured to, when the display interface of the display screen 2 displays a menu key 21, a home screen return key 22, and a previous level return key 23, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the key functions of the menu key 21, the home screen return key 22 and the previous level return key 23 are respectively assigned to the three physical keys 4. The key functions of the three commonly used virtual keys on the touch screen in the prior art: the menu key 21, the home screen return key 22 and the previous level return key 23 are respectively assigned to the three physical keys 4, so that the virtual keys are materialized and can be operated with one hand nearby.

[0050] Embodiment 9 of the present invention is a smart terminal with a display screen. Based on any one of embodiments 4 to 7, the physical keys 4 include ten numeric keys from 0 to 9 and two function keys, and the nine numeric keys from 1 to 9 are arranged in a 3X3 array. The two function keys are arranged in a row with the numeric key 0 and are arranged above the nine numeric keys from 1 to 9. The processor 5 is specifically used to assign the key functions of the menu key 21, the main screen return key 22 and the previous level return key 23 to the two function keys and the numeric key 0 respectively when the display interface of the display screen 2 displays the menu key 21, the main screen return key 22 and the previous level return key 23. This correspondence method and the distribution method of the physical keys 4 enable the user to quickly and accurately realize the correspondence between the menu key 21, the main screen return key 22 and the previous level return key 23 and the physical keys 4. In a specific implementation, when this smart terminal is a mobile phone, the two function keys can be an on-hook key and an answer key, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown.
