Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and storage medium for determining a reporting point position of a touch point. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of information technology, electronic devices such as smart phones and smart tablets are playing an increasingly important role in people's daily lives. With the rapid development of screen technology, display screens that support touch operations have become a standard configuration for electronic devices.

[0003] A touch screen (Touch Panel, TP for short) is a device that can accept input signals. Touch screens can include resistive touch screens and capacitive touch screens. Taking a capacitive touch screen as an example, when a user touches a capacitive touch screen, a coupling capacitor is formed between the user and the touch screen surface due to the human body's electric field. Because the touch screen is connected to a high-frequency signal, the finger absorbs a very small current, which flows out from the electrodes on the four corners of the touch screen. In theory, the current flowing through the four electrodes is proportional to the distance from the finger to the four corners of the touch screen. Therefore, by calculating the ratio of the four currents, the position of the touch point can be obtained, and the position of the touch point can be reported to the processing module. This process is referred to as the reporting process.

[0004] However, in order to ensure that the touch point follows the movement of the hand, a new touch point position is calculated for each small movement, and the touch point may jitter due to frequent updates of the touch point position. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the problems existing in the related art, the present disclosure provides a method, an apparatus, a device and a storage medium for determining a reporting point position of a touch point.

[0006] According to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for determining a reported position of a touch point is provided, the method comprising:

[0007] Predicting, based on position change information of the touch point in at least two frames before the N+1 frame touch signal, that the action between the N frame and the N+1 frame is a jitter or a slide during the stay of the touch object;

[0008] If the touch object is jittering during its stay, the position of the touch point in the Nth frame is used as the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame;

[0009] If it is sliding, the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame / the position close to the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is used as the reported point position of the touch point in the N+1th frame.

[0010] In one embodiment, the predicting, based on the position change information of the touch point in at least two frames before the N+1 frame touch signal, that the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is a jitter or a slide during the stay of the touch object includes:

[0011] The point stability range of the Nth frame is determined by using a value converted from a distance between a touch point of the Nth frame and a touch point of the N-1th frame as a range reference amount and using the touch point of the Nth frame as a reference point;

[0012] If the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is within the determined point stability range, the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is jitter during the stay of the touch object; otherwise, the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is sliding.

[0013] In one embodiment, the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is predicted by the actual position of the touch point in at least two frames before the N+1th frame touch signal.

[0014] In one embodiment, the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is the actual position of the touch point in the N+1th frame.

[0015] In one embodiment, the range reference is obtained based on the product of the interval and a specified ratio value, and the specified ratio value is less than or equal to 1.

[0016] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a device for determining a touch point position is provided, the device comprising:

[0017] The action prediction module is configured to predict the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame as a jitter or a slide during the stay of the touch object based on the position change information of the touch point in at least two frames before the N+1th frame touch signal;

[0018] The position determination module is configured to use the position of the touch point in the Nth frame as the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame if it is a jitter during the touch object's stay; and to use the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame / a position close to the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame as the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame if it is a slide.

[0019] In one embodiment, the action prediction module is specifically configured as follows:

[0020] The point stability range of the Nth frame is determined by using a value converted from a distance between a touch point of the Nth frame and a touch point of the N-1th frame as a range reference amount and using the touch point of the Nth frame as a reference point;

[0021] If the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is within the determined point stability range, the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is jitter during the stay of the touch object; otherwise, the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is sliding.

[0022] In one embodiment, the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is predicted by the actual position of the touch point in at least two frames before the N+1th frame touch signal.

[0023] In one embodiment, the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is the actual position of the touch point in the N+1th frame.

[0024] In one embodiment, the range reference is obtained based on the product of the interval and a specified ratio value, and the specified ratio value is less than or equal to 1.

[0025] According to a third aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided an electronic device, including:

[0026] processor;

[0027] a memory for storing processor-executable instructions;

[0028] The processor is configured to read computer instructions from the memory to implement any of the above methods for determining the position of a touch point.

[0029] According to a fourth aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored, and when the program is executed by a processor, the steps of any of the above methods are implemented.

[0030] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may have the following beneficial effects:

[0031] The disclosed embodiment predicts, based on the position change information of the touch point in at least two frames before the N+1th frame touch signal, that the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is jitter or sliding during the stay of the touch object. If it is jitter during the stay of the touch object, the position of the touch point in the Nth frame is used as the reported point position of the touch point in the N+1th frame; if it is sliding, the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame / a position close to the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is used as the reported point position of the touch point in the N+1th frame. By predicting jitter and sliding, it is possible to consider point stability, avoid point coordinate updates due to tiny coordinate jitter, and consider point chirality, so as to avoid a large distance between the reported point coordinates and the actual touch point coordinates of the touch object in order to ensure point stability.

[0040] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0041] The terms used in this disclosure are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the disclosure. The singular forms of "a", "said" and "the" used in this disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0042] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used in the present disclosure to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining".

[0043] The touch object, also called the touch body, can be an operating body that can be recognized by the screen, such as a finger, palm, stylus, etc. When the touch object touches the screen, the signal acquisition module can collect touch signals. The signal acquisition module is a unit for collecting touch signals, for example, it can be a touch sensor electrode.

[0044] In order to ensure point stability, a range can be set based on the reported point coordinates of the Nth frame, called the point stability range of the Nth frame. The points of the N+1th frame that do not exceed the point stability range will keep the coordinates of the Nth frame unchanged to avoid coordinate changes caused by small movements.

[0045] In order to ensure the hand tracking, it is hoped that the reported coordinates of any touch point in any frame are as close as possible to the actual position of the touch object, and a smaller point stability range is preferred or the point stability range is removed.

[0046] In order to ensure that the touch point follows the movement of the hand, a new touch point position is calculated for each small movement. The touch point may jitter due to frequent updates of the touch point position. The inventors found that if the touch point coordinates are determined using a fixed point stability range each time, it is not conducive to hand tracking. Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the point stability range. Based on the point reported in the Nth frame, there is a fixed-size point stability range (within the dotted circle). If the point reported in the N+1th frame is still within this range, the coordinates are kept the same as those in the Nth frame. Therefore, the coordinates of the N+1th frame are the same as those of the Nth frame, and there is no movement, which can ensure point stability. However, at the same time, if the point reported in the N+1th frame is just at the edge of the point stability range, there will be a large distance between the reported point coordinates and the point coordinates where the hand actually touches the screen, such as Figure 1 The distance between the reported points in the Nth frame and the reported points in the N+1th frame is not conducive to tracking hand quality.

[0047] In view of this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for determining the reported position of a touch point. According to the position change information of the touch point in at least two frames before the touch signal of the N+1th frame, it is predicted that the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is a jitter or a slide during the stay of the touch object. If it is a jitter during the stay of the touch object, the position of the touch point in the Nth frame is used as the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame; if it is a slide, the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame / a position close to the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is used as the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame. By predicting the jitter and slide, it is possible to consider the point stability, avoid the point coordinate update while avoiding the small coordinate jitter, and consider the point tracking chirality, so as to avoid the situation where the distance between the reported point coordinates and the actual touch point coordinates of the touch object is large in order to ensure the point stability.

[0048] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to electronic devices including touch screens, and can also be applied to modules for determining the position of touch points, such as touch screen ICs of electronic devices. The touch screens mentioned in the present disclosure include In-Cell, On-Cell, OGS (One Glass Solution), G / G (Cover Glass / Sensor Glass, protective glass layer / sensing glass layer, the sensing glass layer can also be called a touch function layer) and GFF (Cover Glass Film / Film, protective glass conductive layer / conductive layer) and other types of touch screens. In-Cell refers to a method of embedding the touch function into the liquid crystal pixels of a display screen, that is, embedding the touch sensor function inside the display screen; On-Cell refers to a method of embedding the touch screen between the color filter substrate and the polarizer of the display screen, that is, providing the touch function on the liquid crystal panel of the display screen. OGS technology integrates the touch screen with the protective glass, and coats the inner side of the protective glass with an ITO conductive layer. G / G and GFF touch screens refer to touch detection devices of the touch screen system installed on the upper layer of the display screen.

[0049] In the disclosed embodiments, the term "electronic device" includes various handheld devices with touch screens, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, computing devices, etc. For example, smart phones, tablet computers, smart watches, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), e-book readers, multimedia players, etc.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for determining a reported position of a touch point according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may include the following steps:

[0051] In step 202, based on the position change information of the touch point in at least two frames before the N+1 frame touch signal, it is predicted that the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is a jitter or a slide during the stay of the touch object;

[0052] In step 204, if the touch object is jittering during its stay, the position of the touch point in the Nth frame is used as the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame;

[0053] In step 206, if it is sliding, the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame / the position close to the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is used as the reported point position of the touch point in the N+1th frame.

[0054] The at least two frames include the Nth frame and one or more frames before the Nth frame. It should be understood that this embodiment uses the data of the first few frames to predict the actions in the last two frames, and then determines the reported position of the touch point in the last frame. For distinction, the last two frames are named the Nth frame and the N+1th frame.

[0055] In one embodiment, the at least two frames include the N-1th frame and the Nth frame, so as to use the data of the first two frames to predict the action of the next two frames, that is, to use the position change information of the touch points of the two frames to predict whether the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is a jitter or a slide during the stay of the touch object.

[0056] The jitter during the touch object's stay may refer to a small coordinate change during the touch object's sliding process, which is an action that is expected to be ignored; sliding may refer to a slightly larger coordinate change, which is an action that is expected to reflect the touch point. The movement process of the touch object is often inertial, and the position change information in the previous frame can be used to predict that the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is a jitter or a slide during the touch object's stay.

[0057] In one example, whether the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is a jitter or a slide during the stay of the touch object can be determined by: the position of the touch point of the N+1th frame, and the distance between the touch point of the Nth frame and the touch point of the N-1th frame. It should be understood that it is not limited to the distance between the touch point of the Nth frame and the touch point of the N-1th frame, and can also be the distance between the touch points in other frames of at least two frames, or other factors to determine whether the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is a jitter or a slide during the stay of the touch object.

[0058] For example, predicting the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame as a jitter or a slide during the stay of the touch object based on the position change information of the touch point in at least two frames before the N+1th frame touch signal includes:

[0059] The point stability range of the Nth frame is determined by using a value converted from a distance between a touch point of the Nth frame and a touch point of the N-1th frame as a range reference amount and using the touch point of the Nth frame as a reference point;

[0060] If the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is within the determined point stability range, the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is jitter during the stay of the touch object; otherwise, the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is sliding.

[0061] Among them, the position change information of the touch point in at least two frames may include the distance D between the touch point of the Nth frame and the touch point of the N-1th frame. The range reference amount can be a reference amount used to determine the point stability range, which can be a radius value or a short radius value or a long radius value, etc., determined according to the shape of the point stability range. For example, the shape of the point stability range may include but is not limited to a circle, an ellipse, etc. The range reference amount can be obtained by converting the distance between the touch point of the Nth frame and the touch point of the N-1th frame. For example, the range reference amount can be a function related to the distance between the touch point of the Nth frame and the touch point of the N-1th frame. For example, the range reference amount is obtained based on the product of the distance and a specified ratio value, and the specified ratio value is less than or equal to 1.

[0062] Regarding whether the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is within the determined point stability range, for example, the distance between the reported point in the Nth frame and the reported point in the N+1th frame can be directly compared with the range reference amount.

[0063] like Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a touch point position in multiple frames according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The radius R of the point stability range of the Nth frame is determined by the following formula:

[0064]

[0065] Indicates the specified ratio value, and D indicates the distance between the N-1th frame and the Nth frame. If the distance between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is less than or equal to the radius R, it tends to be considered as a slight jitter, and the stability of the point is more important, and the coordinates reported to the system are closer to the position of the Nth frame; if the distance between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is greater than the radius R, it tends to be considered as a sliding behavior, and the chirality is more important, and the coordinates reported to the system are closer to the position of the N+1th frame. The specified ratio value can be determined according to the platform or electronic device or other requirements. For example, if you pursue speed, the smaller the specified ratio value is within a certain range, the better. If you pursue stability or are limited by the hardware requirements of the electronic device, the specified ratio value can be larger, or even 1.

[0066] It should be understood that the range reference amount may also be determined by the distance between the touch point in the other frame and the frame in at least two frames, or by other data of at least two frames, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0067] Regarding the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame, in one embodiment, the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is the actual position of the touch point in the N+1th frame.

[0068] In this embodiment, after obtaining the actual position of the touch point in the Nth frame and before the Nth frame, and the actual position of the touch point in the N+1th frame, the actual position of the touch point in the previous frames can be used to predict the movement of the touch point in the Nth frame and the N+1th frame. Specifically, the actual position of the touch point in the previous frames can be used to adjust the point stability range of the Nth frame, and the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is determined by comparing the actual position of the N+1th frame with the point stability range of the Nth frame. For example, the N+1th frame is the current frame. When the touch signal of the N+1th frame is detected, if the reported point position of the N+1th frame is to be reported, the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is determined by comparing the actual position of the N+1th frame with the point stability range of the Nth frame.

[0069] In another embodiment, the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame may be predicted from the actual position of the touch point in at least two frames before the N+1th frame touch signal.

[0070] In this embodiment, when the actual position of the touch point in the Nth frame and before the Nth frame is obtained, the actual position of the touch point in the previous frames can be used to predict the position of the N+1 frame, referred to as the predicted position of the N+1th frame, and the actual position of the touch point in the previous frames can be used to adjust the point stability range of the Nth frame, and the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is determined by comparing the predicted position of the N+1th frame with the point stability range of the Nth frame. For example, the Nth frame is the current frame, and when the touch signal of the Nth frame is detected, the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is predicted.

[0071] This embodiment can report the reported position of the N+1th frame without obtaining the actual position of the touch point of the N+1th frame.

[0072] Regarding how to predict the position of the touch point of the N+1th frame, in one example, the position of the touch point of the N-1th frame and the position of the touch point of the Nth frame can be obtained by weighted summation. For example, the position of the touch point of the N-1th frame is multiplied by the first weight value, the position of the touch point of the Nth frame is multiplied by the second weight value, and the two products are added to obtain the position of the touch point of the N+1th frame. The first weight value and the second weight value can be configured according to actual needs. For example, if faster speed is pursued, the second weight value can be greater than the first weight value. If accuracy needs to be ensured, the second weight value can be equal to the first weight value, etc. This embodiment can quickly obtain the position of the touch point of the N+1th frame by weighted summation of the position of the touch point of the N-1th frame and the position of the touch point of the Nth frame.

[0073] It should be understood that other existing or future methods for determining the position of the touch point of the N+1th frame may also be applicable to the present disclosure and should be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure. For example, the position of the touch point of the N+1th frame may be predicted based on the touch point velocity and acceleration determined from multiple frames of data.

[0074] The reported point position of the touch point may be the position reported to the processing module for the touch point, for example, the reported point coordinates. The reported point position of the touch point may be the actual position of the touch point or may not be the actual position of the touch point. Therefore, in order to distinguish, the position reported to the processing module is called the reported point position.

[0075] If it is a jitter during the touch object's stay, the position of the touch point in the Nth frame is used as the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame, thereby avoiding the update of the touch point position caused by the jitter. If it is a slide, the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is used as the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame, or a position close to the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is used as the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame. The close position can be a position within the specified range of the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame. For example, the position between the touch point in the Nth frame and the touch point in the N+1th frame and close to the touch point in the N+1th frame can be used as the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame.

[0076] After determining the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame, it can be reported to the processing module. If the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is the same as the reported position of the touch point in the Nth frame, the original touch point is kept unchanged; if the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is different from the reported position of the touch point in the Nth frame, it is moved.

[0077] The various technical features in the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined as long as there is no conflict or contradiction between the combinations of features. However, due to space limitations, they are not described one by one. Therefore, any combination of the various technical features in the above embodiments also falls within the scope of this specification.

[0078] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of another method for determining the position of a touch point according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The method describes a combined embodiment thereof based on the aforementioned embodiment, and includes the following steps:

[0079] In step 402, a point stability range of the Nth frame is determined by using a value converted from a distance between a touch point of the Nth frame and a touch point of the N-1th frame as a range reference amount and using the touch point of the Nth frame as a reference point;

[0080] In step 404, if the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is within the determined point stability range, the position of the touch point in the Nth frame is used as the reported point position of the touch point in the N+1th frame;

[0081] In step 406, if the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is not within the determined point stability range, the actual position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is used as the reported point position of the touch point in the N+1th frame.

[0082] This embodiment improves the stability of the point reporting while improving the chirality of the finger movement, which can avoid the situation where the coordinates of the lifted finger are jittery and unstable after the finger slides and then lifts vertically; it can also avoid the situation where the finger slides and then naturally leaves non-vertically, the acceleration and speed are misjudged, and the fast sliding becomes slow sliding or slow sliding becomes fast sliding. By predicting the action, the size of the point stability range is dynamically adjusted, not a single fixed range.

[0083] For the aforementioned method embodiments, for the sake of simplicity of description, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should know that the present disclosure is not limited by the described order of actions, because according to the present disclosure, certain steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously.

[0084] Secondly, those skilled in the art should also be aware that the embodiments described in the specification are all optional embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily essential to the present disclosure.

[0085] Corresponding to the embodiments of the aforementioned method for determining the position of a touch point, the present disclosure further provides embodiments of an apparatus for determining the position of a touch point, a device used by the apparatus, and a storage medium.

[0086] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 : is a block diagram of a device for determining a touch point position according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the device comprising:

[0087] The action prediction module 52 is configured to predict the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame as a jitter or a slide during the stay of the touch object based on the position change information of the touch point in at least two frames before the N+1th frame touch signal;

[0088] The position determination module 54 is configured to use the position of the touch point in the Nth frame as the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame if it is a jitter during the touch object's stay; and to use the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame / a position close to the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame as the reported position of the touch point in the N+1th frame if it is a slide.

[0089] In one embodiment, the action prediction module 52 is specifically configured as follows:

[0090] The point stability range of the Nth frame is determined by using a value converted from a distance between a touch point of the Nth frame and a touch point of the N-1th frame as a range reference amount and using the touch point of the Nth frame as a reference point;

[0091] If the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is within the determined point stability range, the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is jitter during the stay of the touch object; otherwise, the action between the Nth frame and the N+1th frame is sliding.

[0092] In one embodiment, the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is predicted by the actual position of the touch point in at least two frames before the N+1th frame touch signal.

[0093] In one embodiment, the position of the touch point in the N+1th frame is the actual position of the touch point in the N+1th frame.

[0094] In one embodiment, the range reference is obtained based on the product of the interval and a specified ratio value, and the specified ratio value is less than or equal to 1.

[0095] The specific details of the implementation process of the functions and effects of each module in the above-mentioned device can be found in the implementation process of the corresponding steps in the above-mentioned method, which will not be repeated here.

The device embodiment described above is only schematic, wherein the modules described as separate components may or may not be physically separated, and the components displayed as modules may or may not be physical modules, that is, they may be located in one place, or they may be distributed on multiple network modules.
