[0044] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, the same numbers refer to the same elements throughout the drawings, unless otherwise represented. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all the embodiments consistent with the disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0045] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a terminal submersion processing method according to an exemplary embodiment, which is used in a terminal, as shown in Figure 1 includes the following steps:

[0046] In step S101, the capacitance values at the test points in the terminal and the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes of the touch panel of the terminal are obtained.

[0047] The test point is a sensing element arranged in the terminal for measuring capacitance, for example, a physical spring made of copper. The test point of the existing Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) sensor in the terminal can be used for detection.

[0048] The number and position of the test points on the terminal are pre-set according to design requirements. For example, four test points are arranged on the terminal, which are arranged at the upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right corners of the terminal, respectively.

[0049] As known by those skilled in the art, coupling capacitances can be formed between the addressable electrodes in the touch panel. Since the human finger is conductive, when a user touches the touch panel, the capacitance value of the coupling capacitance between the addressable electrodes at the touched part of the touch panel will be affected. Therefore, by detecting the capacitance value of the coupling capacitance between the addressable electrodes in the touch panel, the touch position of the user on the touch panel can be determined. The capacitance value of the coupling capacitance is the capacitance value at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal.

[0050] Since the "impure" water is conductive, if water enters the test point, the capacitance value at the test point will increase; if the touch panel contacts water, the capacitance value of the coupling capacitance between the addressable electrodes in the touch panel will also change. In step S101, the capacitance values at all test points in the terminal and the capacitance values at all addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal can be obtained.

[0051] In step S102, the water submersion state of the terminal is determined according to the capacitance values at the test points in the terminal and the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal.

[0052] As described above, when the terminal is in a water submersion state, the capacitance values at the test points in the terminal and the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal will change. Therefore, in step S102, the water submersion state of the terminal can be determined according to the comprehensive judgment of the capacitance values at the test points in the terminal and the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal obtained in step S101.

[0053] According to the technical solution, the submersion state of the terminal is determined according to the capacitance values at the test breakpoints in the terminal and the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal, so that the submersion state of the terminal can be quickly determined by detecting the parameters of the existing devices in the terminal without making large changes to the terminal, and timely remedial measures can be taken after submersion, thereby reducing the loss caused by submersion of the terminal. The method provided by the present disclosure is simple, fast in detection, accurate in result, and high in reliability.

[0054] In yet another embodiment, determining the submersion state of the terminal according to the capacitance values at the test breakpoints in the terminal and the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal in step S102 can include:

[0055] If the capacitance values at all the test breakpoints in the terminal are greater than a predetermined first capacitance threshold value, and the number of addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal with capacitance values greater than a predetermined second capacitance threshold value is greater than a preset first number, it is determined that the submersion state of the terminal is full submersion.

[0056] If the capacitance values at a part of the test breakpoints in the terminal are greater than the first capacitance threshold value, and the number of addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal with capacitance values greater than the second capacitance threshold value is greater than a preset second number and less than the first number, it is determined that the submersion state of the terminal is partial submersion.

[0057] The first capacitance threshold value and the second capacitance threshold value can be determined in advance by experimental methods. Specifically, the terminal is placed in water to simulate the situation when the terminal is submerged, and the first capacitance threshold value is determined according to the detected capacitance values at the test breakpoints, and the second capacitance threshold value is determined according to the detected capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel. If the capacitance value at a test breakpoint is greater than the first capacitance threshold value, it can be considered that water has entered the test breakpoint, and if the capacitance value at an addressable electrode in the touch panel is greater than the second capacitance threshold value, it can be considered that the touch panel has been wet at the addressable electrode.

[0058] The first number can be determined according to the number of coupling capacitances that can be formed by the addressable electrodes in the touch panel. For example, the number of all coupling capacitances for detecting touch conditions that can be formed by the addressable electrodes in the touch panel can be determined as the first number. For another example, 90% of the number of all coupling capacitances for detecting touch conditions that can be formed by the addressable electrodes in the touch panel can be determined as the first number. When it is detected that the capacitance values at the test breakpoints in the terminal are all greater than the first capacitance threshold value, and the number of addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal with capacitance values greater than the predetermined second capacitance threshold value is greater than the preset first number, it is determined that the submersion state of the terminal is full submersion.

[0059] The second quantity can be pre-configured according to the terminal device. For example, when the terminal device is in a stable submersion state (for example, the terminal device can only reach a partial submersion state due to water depth), the terminal device will not be damaged regardless of the angle at which the terminal device falls into the water when the water-logged area of the terminal touch panel is less than a certain ratio, and the terminal device can be damaged when the water-logged area of the terminal touch panel reaches the ratio. The number of coupling capacitances formed by the addressable electrodes corresponding to the ratio can be determined as the second quantity. For example, when the terminal device is in a stable submersion state, the terminal device will not be damaged regardless of the angle at which the terminal device falls into the water when the water-logged area of the terminal touch panel is less than 20%, and the terminal device can be damaged when the water-logged area of the terminal touch panel reaches 20%. At this time, 20% of the number of coupling capacitances formed by the addressable electrodes in the touch panel for detecting the touch condition can be determined as the second quantity. If the capacitance value at a part of the test breakpoints in the terminal is greater than the first capacitance threshold, and the number of addressable electrodes in the terminal touch panel whose capacitance value is greater than the second capacitance threshold is greater than the pre-configured second quantity and less than the first quantity, it is determined that the submersion state of the terminal is a partial submersion.

[0060] In this embodiment, the submersion state of the terminal is determined by simple data comparison, which has high reliability, fast data processing speed, and is not prone to errors.

[0061] In yet another embodiment, the step of obtaining the capacitance values at the test breakpoints in the terminal and the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal in step S101 can include: obtaining the capacitance values at the test breakpoints in the terminal; and if the capacitance value at at least one of the test breakpoints in the terminal is greater than a predetermined first capacitance threshold, obtaining the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal.

[0062] That is, the capacitance values at the test breakpoints in the terminal are obtained first, and when it is detected that the capacitance value at at least one of the test breakpoints in the terminal is greater than a predetermined first capacitance threshold, the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal are obtained. In the case where the capacitance values at all the test breakpoints in the terminal are not greater than the first capacitance threshold, the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal are not obtained.

[0063] For example, during the running of the terminal device, it is detected that the capacitance values at 4 test breakpoints (there are a total of 4 test breakpoints in the terminal device) are all greater than the first capacitance threshold, indicating that the terminal device can be in a full submersion state. At this time, the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel are triggered to further determine whether the terminal device is in a full submersion state.

[0064] For another example, during the running of the terminal, if the terminal detects that the capacitance value at only one of the four test points (there are four test points in the terminal) is greater than the predetermined first capacitance threshold, it indicates that the terminal is likely to be in a partial submersion state. At this time, the capacitance value at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel is triggered to be detected to further determine whether the terminal is in a partial submersion state.

[0065] In this embodiment, by using the method of first acquiring the capacitance value at the test points in the terminal, and then starting the touch panel to acquire the capacitance value at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel in the case that there is a test point in the terminal with a capacitance value greater than the first capacitance threshold, the terminal submersion state is finally determined. This avoids unnecessary detection, thereby reducing the power consumption for terminal submersion detection.

[0066] In another embodiment, the above-mentioned acquiring the capacitance value at the addressable electrodes in the target region of the touch panel of the terminal if the capacitance value at at least one of the test points in the terminal is greater than the predetermined first capacitance threshold can include:

[0067] If the capacitance value at at least one of the test points in the terminal is greater than the predetermined first capacitance threshold, the capacitance value at the addressable electrodes in the target region of the touch panel of the terminal is acquired. The target region is a region corresponding to the position of the test point with a capacitance value greater than the first capacitance threshold.

[0068] The position of the test point refers to the position of the test point in the terminal, and the target region refers to the region in the touch panel corresponding to the position of the test point. For example, in the case that four test points are arranged at the upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right corners of the terminal, the touch panel can be equally divided into four parts by drawing the median lines of the long side and the short side of the touch panel. The test point at the upper left corner corresponds to the upper left region of the touch panel, the test point at the upper right corner corresponds to the upper right region of the touch panel, the test point at the lower left corner corresponds to the lower left region of the touch panel, and the test point at the lower right corner corresponds to the lower right region of the touch panel. During the running of the terminal, if the capacitance values at the test points at the upper left and upper right corners are detected to be greater than the first capacitance threshold, the target regions corresponding to these two test points are the upper half region of the touch panel, and the capacitance value at the addressable electrodes in the upper half region of the touch panel is acquired. For another example, if the capacitance value at the test point at the upper left corner is detected to be greater than the first capacitance threshold, the capacitance value at the addressable electrodes in the upper left region of the touch panel is acquired.

[0069] In this embodiment, the capacitance value at the addressable electrodes in the corresponding target region can be acquired according to the position of the test point with a capacitance value greater than the first capacitance threshold, thereby avoiding the detection of some unnecessary capacitance values, thereby reducing the power consumption for terminal submersion detection.

[0070] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a terminal drowning processing method according to yet another exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 based on the method shown in Figure 1 , the method further comprises a step S101'.

[0071] In step S101', the air pressure value in the terminal internal cavity is acquired.

[0072] In this embodiment, the determining of the terminal drowning state according to the capacitance value at the test breakpoint in the terminal and the capacitance value at the addressable electrode in the touch panel of the terminal in step S102 can comprise step S1021.

[0073] In step S1021, the terminal drowning state is determined according to the air pressure value in the terminal internal cavity, the capacitance value at the test breakpoint in the terminal and the capacitance value at the addressable electrode in the touch panel of the terminal.

[0074] For the terminal configured with the air pressure sensor, the air pressure value in the terminal internal cavity can be detected by the existing sensor of the terminal. When the terminal is drowned, the air pressure value in the terminal internal cavity will sharply increase, thus, the air pressure value in the terminal internal cavity can also be used as a basis for judging the terminal drowning.

[0075] In this embodiment, the air pressure value in the terminal internal cavity is added as a basis for judging the terminal drowning, which further enhances the accuracy of the terminal drowning judgment result.

[0076] In yet another embodiment, the determining of the terminal drowning state according to the air pressure value in the terminal internal cavity, the capacitance value at the test breakpoint in the terminal and the capacitance value at the addressable electrode in the touch panel of the terminal in step S1021 can comprise:

[0077] If the air pressure value in the terminal internal cavity is greater than a predetermined air pressure threshold value, the capacitance values at all test breakpoints in the terminal are all greater than a predetermined first capacitance threshold value, and the number of addressable electrodes with capacitance values greater than a predetermined second capacitance threshold value in the touch panel of the terminal is greater than a predetermined first number, then the terminal drowning state is determined as full drowning;

[0078] If the air pressure value in the terminal internal cavity is greater than a predetermined air pressure threshold value, the capacitance values at a part of test breakpoints in the terminal are greater than the first capacitance threshold value, and the number of addressable electrodes with capacitance values greater than the second capacitance threshold value in the touch panel of the terminal is greater than a predetermined second number and less than the first number, then the terminal drowning state is determined as partial drowning.

[0079] The air pressure threshold value can be preset by experiment. Specifically, the air pressure threshold value can be determined by simulating a terminal submersion scenario, obtaining the air pressure value measured by the air pressure sensor under the submersion condition of the terminal, and determining the air pressure threshold value according to the air pressure value. For example, the air pressure threshold value can be set as 95% of the air pressure value measured by the air pressure sensor under the simulated terminal submersion scenario.

[0080] If the air pressure value in the internal cavity of the terminal is greater than the predetermined air pressure threshold value, the capacitance values at all test breakpoints in the terminal are greater than the predetermined first capacitance threshold value, and the number of addressable electrodes with capacitance values greater than the predetermined second capacitance threshold value in the touch panel of the terminal is greater than the predetermined first number, it can be considered that the terminal has been completely immersed in water at this time, i.e., the submersion state of the terminal is determined to be complete submersion.

[0081] If the air pressure value in the internal cavity of the terminal is greater than the predetermined air pressure threshold value, the capacitance values at a part of the test breakpoints in the terminal are greater than the first capacitance threshold value, and the number of addressable electrodes with capacitance values greater than the second capacitance threshold value in the touch panel of the terminal is greater than the predetermined second number and less than the first number, it can be considered that the terminal has been partially immersed in water at this time, i.e., the submersion state of the terminal is determined to be partial submersion.

[0082] In this embodiment, the necessary condition that the air pressure value in the internal cavity of the terminal is greater than the predetermined air pressure threshold value is added to determine whether the submersion state of the terminal is complete submersion or partial submersion, so that the determination result of the submersion state of the terminal is more accurate.

[0083] In yet another embodiment, the obtaining of the capacitance values at the test breakpoints in the terminal and the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal in step S101 can include: if the air pressure value in the internal cavity of the terminal is greater than the predetermined air pressure threshold value, obtaining the capacitance values at the test breakpoints in the terminal; and if the capacitance value at at least one test breakpoint in the terminal is greater than the predetermined first capacitance threshold value, obtaining the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal.

[0084] That is, the air pressure value in the internal cavity of the terminal is first obtained, and then the capacitance values at the test breakpoints in the terminal are obtained when the air pressure value in the internal cavity of the terminal is greater than the air pressure threshold value. If the air pressure value in the internal cavity of the terminal is not greater than the air pressure threshold value, the obtaining of the capacitance values at the test breakpoints in the terminal is not triggered. The air pressure sensor can be set to be always on, and when the air pressure value detected by the air pressure sensor is greater than the air pressure threshold value, the SAR sensor in the terminal is woken up to measure the capacitance values at all test breakpoints in the terminal. Furthermore, if the capacitance value at at least one test breakpoint in the terminal is greater than the predetermined first capacitance threshold value, the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal are obtained. If the capacitance values at all test breakpoints in the terminal are not greater than the predetermined first capacitance threshold value, the obtaining of the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel of the terminal is not triggered.

[0085] For example, when it is detected that the air pressure value of the internal cavity of the terminal is greater than the air pressure threshold, the SAR sensor in the terminal is woken up, the capacitance values of all test breakpoints in the terminal are measured, and if it is detected that the capacitance value of a test breakpoint (for example, the test breakpoint located at the upper left corner) is greater than a first capacitance threshold, the capacitance values at addressable electrodes in a target region of the touch panel (the upper left region of the touch panel) of the terminal are obtained.

[0086] For example, when it is detected that the air pressure value of the internal cavity of the terminal is greater than the air pressure threshold, the SAR sensor in the terminal is woken up, the capacitance values of all test breakpoints in the terminal are measured, and if it is detected that the capacitance value of a test breakpoint (for example, the test breakpoint located at the upper left corner) is greater than a first capacitance threshold, the capacitance values at addressable electrodes in a target region of the touch panel (the upper left region of the touch panel) of the terminal are obtained.

[0087] In this embodiment, the capacitance values at the test breakpoints and the capacitance values at the addressable electrodes in the touch panel are obtained when the air pressure value of the internal cavity of the terminal is greater than the air pressure threshold, thus avoiding unnecessary detection of capacitance values and reducing power consumption for terminal submersion detection.

[0088] In yet another embodiment, the terminal submersion processing method further includes: if it is determined that the submersion state of the terminal is complete submersion or partial submersion, controlling the terminal to shut down.

[0089] Since the terminal is still likely to be damaged when it is powered on during submersion, controlling the terminal to shut down when it is detected that the terminal is in a complete submersion state or a partial submersion state can avoid the terminal being powered on during submersion and reduce the likelihood of damage to the terminal.

[0090] Based on the same inventive concept, the disclosure also provides a terminal submersion processing apparatus. Figure 3 is a block diagram of a terminal submersion processing apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment.
