Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of interactive technology, and in particular to touch interactive peripherals, interactive methods, devices, electronic devices and storage media. Background Technology

[0002] Interactive whiteboards, as devices suitable for group communication scenarios, typically need to display relevant key information to multiple people and record process information generated during multi-person communication. During the recording process, to avoid discomfort caused by prolonged finger friction on the interactive panel, and to improve the similarity of the recording process to traditional physical blackboards, dedicated interactive peripherals are usually used as intermediaries for the recorder to input information on the interactive whiteboard.

[0003] In interactive tablets based on capacitive touchscreens, capacitive pens are typically used as interactive peripherals. However, existing capacitive pens usually only enable handwriting input and triggering interactive controls. Moreover, a single capacitive pen can only have its handwriting attributes set by the user at the application level according to current needs. In essence, an interactive peripheral can only affect the detection results of the capacitive touchscreen at one information dimension: the touch location. An interactive peripheral can only generate one interactive command for the same operation on the interactive tablet at the same location, which cannot meet the diverse interactive needs in multi-person communication scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a touch-interactive peripheral, an interaction method, a device, an electronic device, and a storage medium to solve the technical problem that existing interactive peripherals can only generate one interactive command when operating an interactive tablet at the same location, which cannot meet the diverse interaction needs in multi-person communication scenarios.

[0007] Each geometric plane corresponds to at least one conductive layer. When each geometric plane comes into contact with the capacitive touch screen, the capacitance formed by the corresponding conductive layer and the sensing electrode in the capacitive touch screen is different.

The speed command relationship is used to record the speed of the coupling current change when different geometric planes perform touch operation in the touch interaction peripheral, as well as the control command corresponding to different geometric planes.

[0012] The target control command is responded to at the position corresponding to the second parameter.

[0013] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention also provide an interactive device for a capacitive touchscreen electronic device, the capacitive touchscreen electronic device being configured with the touch interaction peripheral of the first aspect, the interactive device comprising:

[0014] The data acquisition unit is used to acquire capacitive touch data obtained from touch operation detection in real time.

[0015] The parameter extraction unit is used to extract a first parameter and a second parameter from the capacitive touch data.

[0016] The instruction confirmation unit is used to confirm the target control instruction corresponding to the first parameter from the preset speed instruction relationship. The speed instruction relationship is used to record the speed of the coupling current change when different geometric planes in the touch interaction peripheral are touched, as well as the control instructions corresponding to different geometric planes.

[0017] The instruction response unit is used to respond to the target control instruction at the position corresponding to the second parameter.

[0018] Fourthly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a capacitive touchscreen electronic device, comprising:

[0019] Capacitive touch screen;

[0020] One or more processors;

[0021] Memory, used to store one or more computer programs;

[0022] When one or more computer programs are executed by one or more processors, electronic devices enable interaction methods as described in the second aspect.

[0023] Fifthly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the interaction method as described in the second aspect.

[0024] In the aforementioned touch-interactive peripherals, interaction methods, devices, electronic devices, and storage media, the touch-interactive peripheral includes: a multi-faceted body and at least one conductive layer disposed within the multi-faceted body; the geometry corresponding to the multi-faceted body is a shape enclosed by multiple geometric faces, each geometric face including at least two geometric planes, with conductors disposed on the outer edges of the geometric planes, each conductor connected to a conductive component, and the conductive component extending to the adjacent geometric plane; each geometric plane corresponds to at least one conductive layer, and when each geometric plane contacts the capacitive touchscreen, the capacitance formed by the corresponding conductive layer and the sensing electrodes in the capacitive touchscreen is different for each. When a user holds the touch-interactive peripheral and contacts the glass cover of the capacitive touchscreen, the capacitive touchscreen can determine the contact position and the current intensity related to the capacitance based on the circuit detected at the time of contact, thereby responding at the contact position according to the control command associated with the geometric plane corresponding to the current intensity. Essentially, a user holding an interactive peripheral can quickly adjust the geometric plane in contact with the capacitive touchscreen to input different control commands, meeting the diverse input needs in multi-person communication scenarios.

[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and not for limiting the invention. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention and not the entire structure.

[0038] It should be noted that this application specification does not exhaustively list all possible implementation methods. Those skilled in the art should be able to conceive after reading this application specification that any combination of technical features can constitute an optional implementation method as long as the technical features do not contradict each other.

[0039] Capacitive touchscreen technology utilizes the electrical current sensing of the human body for touch detection. Taking a common capacitive touchscreen as an example, different ITO conductive circuit modules are etched onto two layers of ITO (indium tin oxide) conductive glass coatings. The etched patterns on the two modules are perpendicular to each other and can be considered as electrodes that change continuously in the X and Y directions. Since the X and Y structures are on different surfaces, their intersection forms a capacitor node. One layer of ITO electrode serves as the driving electrode, and the other layer of ITO electrode serves as the sensing electrode. When current flows through a wire in the driving electrode, if there is a signal of capacitance change in the external environment, it will cause a change in the capacitor node on the sensing electrode. The change in capacitance value can be measured by an electronic circuit connected to it, and then converted into a digital signal by an A / D controller so that the computer can perform calculations to obtain the (X, Y) axis position, thereby achieving the purpose of positioning.

[0040] In the specific detection process, the controller sequentially supplies current to the driving electrodes, thus creating a specific electric field between each capacitor node and the driving electrode. Then, it scans the sensing electrodes column by column, measuring the capacitance change between them to achieve multi-point positioning. When a finger or other object touches the surface of the capacitive touchscreen, the controller quickly detects the change in capacitance between the sensing and touch electrodes, thereby confirming the touch location. The method of determining touch location based on capacitance changes is the fundamental implementation of touch technology and will not be repeated here.

[0041] Based on the fundamental principles of capacitive touch detection, in addition to the user's hand, other interactive peripherals that can cause changes in capacitance can serve as intermediaries. A common example is a capacitive pen. Existing capacitive pens can distinguish between the pen tip and the pen end by detecting the contact area to achieve separate responses for writing and erasing, or they can actively send control signals to change the display attributes of the currently written handwriting. Hardware-wise, they can only perform simple settings for the display attributes of input content; the actual input is limited to the user moving the pen to input notes. In multi-user scenarios, this functionality is limited, and input efficiency is low.

[0042] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0043] This invention provides a touch-interactive peripheral that does not require data processing or data transmission capabilities, and consequently, does not require power. Essentially, the touch-interactive peripheral in this solution can be an interactive peripheral entirely implemented by a physical entity structure. Specifically, the touch-interactive peripheral includes: a multi-faceted main body and at least one conductive layer disposed within the multi-faceted main body. The multi-faceted main body is equivalent to the overall structural main body of the interactive peripheral, and at least one conductive layer is disposed within this structural main body, such as one conductive layer, three conductive layers, etc. The geometry corresponding to the multi-faceted main body is a shape enclosed by multiple geometric faces. The geometry corresponding to the multi-faceted main body refers to the three-dimensional structure corresponding to the overall surface contour of the multi-faceted main body. A geometric face is a surface area obtained by using the edges of the three-dimensional structure surface as boundaries. For example, a sphere has no edges and is considered to have only one geometric face; a frustum and a cylinder have two edges, each forming a closed shape as a boundary, dividing the surface of the frustum and cylinder into two geometric planes and one geometric curved surface, for a total of three geometric faces. In this solution, the multifaceted main body comprises multiple geometric surfaces. These surfaces can be entirely or partially geometric planes, with at least two geometric planes. The outer frame of each geometric plane has a conductor. This conductor ensures direct contact between the conductor and the glass panel of the capacitive touchscreen when the corresponding geometric plane comes into contact with it. The outer frame is not a specific structure but refers to the outer contour of the geometric plane, which can be distinguished by the conductor. Each conductor is connected to a conductive component that extends to the adjacent geometric plane. When a user holds the touch interaction component and places a geometric plane against the capacitive touchscreen, their finger contacts the conductive component, which then electrically connects to the conductor of the outer frame of that geometric plane. Due to the human body's electric field and the conductivity between the conductive component and the outer frame, a coupling capacitor is formed between the conductive layer corresponding to the geometric plane in contact with the capacitive touchscreen and the surface of the capacitive touchscreen. For the high-frequency current supplied to the driving electrodes, the capacitor is a direct conductor, thus generating the capacitance change mentioned earlier, ensuring touch detection. To distinguish which geometric plane caused the capacitance change, each geometric plane corresponds to at least one conductive layer. When each geometric plane comes into contact with the capacitive touch screen, the capacitance formed by the corresponding conductive layer and the sensing electrode in the capacitive touch screen is different.

[0044] Each geometric plane's corresponding conductive layer can be a plane, a curved surface, or a combination of multiple surfaces. The arrangement of the conductive layer for each geometric plane can be the same or different, ultimately achieving different equivalent capacitances formed with the capacitive touchscreen surface upon contact. Here, "different equivalent capacitances" refers to different capacitance values. According to the general capacitance calculation formula C = εS / d (ε is the dielectric constant of the medium between the plates, S is the plate area, and d is the distance between the plates), the touch interaction peripheral in this embodiment can achieve different capacitances in various ways. Specifically, one or more of the following methods can be selected: adjusting the material composition of the multi-faceted main body (e.g., filling the space between the first geometric plane and its corresponding conductive layer with a first type of insulating material, and filling the space between the second geometric plane and its corresponding conductive layer with a second type of insulating material with a different dielectric constant), setting different plate areas (e.g., the geometric plane is the two bases of a frustum), and setting different distances between the plates (e.g., the geometric plane is the two bases of a cylinder, with the conductive layer biased towards one of the bases). One possible approach is that each geometric plane has the same area, each geometric plane is parallel to the corresponding conductive layer, each conductive layer has the same size, and each geometric plane is at a different distance from the corresponding conductive layer, i.e., only the distance between the electrodes is set differently.

[0045] In the specific implementation details of the touch interaction peripheral in this application embodiment, the conductive components can be configured to be mutually conductive, ensuring electrical connection with the conductors on the outer edge of any interactive plane when the user holds the device from any angle. The conductors on the outer edge can also enclose and surround the geometric plane, creating a bezel design effect along the edges of the touch interaction peripheral, and increasing the conductive area when in contact with a capacitive touchscreen. The conductive components can be reused as conductors for other geometric planes, reducing manufacturing processes and the complexity of detail layout. Furthermore, each geometric plane can be marked with different identifiers, allowing the user to quickly identify which geometric plane to contact to achieve the current interaction goal.

[0046] To further illustrate the specific design and implementation principle of the touch interaction peripheral in the embodiments of this application, combined with Figures 1-18 This solution will be explained in detail using a cube as the geometric form corresponding to the multifaceted main body. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the surface structure of a touch-interactive peripheral device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1As shown, the geometric shape corresponding to the multifaceted body 10 of the touch interaction peripheral is a cube. The multifaceted body 10 includes six geometric planes from af, each of which is a square. The multifaceted body 10 includes 12 edges, and the outer frame of each geometric plane is actually composed of four edges connected end-to-end. In this solution, a conductor is provided on the outer frame to enclose the geometric plane. Figure 1 The surface configuration of the touch interaction peripheral shown reveals that when all outer edges are enclosed by conductors surrounding the geometric planes, each geometric plane of the touch interaction peripheral has one and only one intersection point with each adjacent geometric plane, in addition to shared edges. This means that conductors on these edges can extend to adjacent geometric planes, directly reusing them as conductive components. This allows for electrical connection between the conductors on these edges and the conductors on the outer edges of the geometric plane of the capacitive touchscreen to be touched when the user holds the device. Figure 1 In the touch interaction peripheral shown, if the outer frame is set with a conductor to enclose the geometric plane, then all of them are interconnected, and all the corresponding conductive components are interconnected. The operation requirements of each geometric plane are exactly the same, and the user can basically make contact with the conductive components by holding the device at will.

[0047] certainly, Figure 1 The touch-interactive peripheral shown can also have additional conductive components in addition to the conductors. For example, on each of the six geometric planes, additional cross-shaped conductive components can be set to connect the four relevant edges. For touch-interactive peripherals where the geometric planes are not adjacent, such as those with a multifaceted main body in the shape of a frustum or cylinder, the geometric planes can only extend to adjacent curved surfaces through dedicated conductive components, extending to another geometric plane. Ultimately, all conductive components are interconnected, ensuring that the user can make contact with the conductive components when holding the device freely.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the conductive layer layout of a touch-interactive peripheral device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. When the geometry corresponding to the multifaceted body 10 is a cube, the six geometric planes can be divided into three pairs of parallel geometric planes. Between each pair of parallel geometric planes, that is, inside the multifaceted body 10, a conductive layer 12 parallel to this pair of geometric planes can be set. Three conductive layers 12 are set for each of the six geometric planes. The size of the three conductive layers 12 is the same as the size of the geometric plane, or at least the size of the three conductive layers 12 must be the same. The interlayer distance from each geometric plane to the corresponding parallel conductive layer 12 is different, that is, the conductive layer 12 between two parallel geometric planes cannot be set in the exact middle of these two geometric planes. Based on this design, when the main material of the multifaceted body 10 (except for the conductive layer 12, conductive components, and conductors set in the outer frame) is a consistent insulating material, it is equivalent to... Figure 2When the geometric plane of the touch interaction peripheral comes into contact with the surface of the capacitive touch screen, the dielectric constant and relative area of ​​the capacitor formed with the sensing electrode are the same, and the capacitors formed by different geometric planes can be distinguished by the distance.

[0049] When confirming the location of the conductive layer, to ensure that the difference in capacitance can be reliably detected, the difference in the interlayer distance between any two geometric planes can reach a preset distance threshold. Furthermore, to ensure sufficient space within the cube, the specific placement can be based on the cube's edge length. An exemplary approach is to set the ratio of the interlayer distance to the cube's edge length from smallest to largest as 2:3:4:6:7:8:10. Alternatively, it can be set to 1:2:3:7:8:9:10; the specific relationship should satisfy the above constraints within the edge length range.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 3-8 , it is Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing the layout relationship between the various geometric planes and corresponding conductive layers of the touch interaction peripheral. Figures 3-8 The following are shown in sequence Figure 2 The geometric plane corresponds to Figure 1 The distances between each of the six geometric planes (a, f, b, d, c, and e) and its corresponding conductive layer are shown. Figures 3-8 In the diagram, the edge length of the multifaceted main body 10 is 10d. Using 10d as a reference, the distance from a to its corresponding conductive layer is 2d; the distance from f (opposite to a) to its corresponding conductive layer is 8d; the distance from b to its corresponding conductive layer is 3d; the distance from d (opposite to b) to its corresponding conductive layer is 7d; the distance from c to its corresponding conductive layer is 4d; and the distance from e (opposite to c) to its corresponding conductive layer is 6d. (Summary) Figures 3-8 , Figure 9 It shows Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the overall distribution of the conductive layer in the touch-interactive peripheral. Figure 10 for Figure 9 A schematic diagram of the surface unfolding of the touch-interactive peripheral device. Figure 11 for Figure 9 The conductive layer of the touch-interactive peripheral is in Figure 11 A projection diagram. Based on the above design, Figure 9 The capacitance formed when the various geometric planes of the touch interaction peripherals come into contact with the touch screen surface is described in the following reference: Figures 12-17 It is obvious that when all geometric planes of a cube are the same size and the insulating material is the same in the multifaceted body, the difference in capacitance caused by distance can directly confirm the difference in the contact surface.

[0051] In implementing this solution, when the geometric plane 11 cannot be directly distinguished by its shape, it can be distinguished by the identifier 111, for example... Figure 18This is an overall schematic diagram of a touch-interactive peripheral device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. It is distinguished by various geometric patterns, or by numbers, text, etc.

[0052] It should be noted that the cubes and other similar objects in the embodiments of this application are not geometric shapes in the mathematical sense, but rather physical entities with a cube-like structure. For example, a cube with chamfered edges can be used as the geometry of the touch interaction peripheral in this embodiment, and this geometry is regarded as the cube described in the embodiments of this application.

[0053] In summary, the touch-interactive peripheral in this embodiment includes a multi-faceted body and at least one conductive layer disposed within the multi-faceted body. The geometry corresponding to the multi-faceted body is a shape enclosed by multiple geometric faces, each geometric face including at least two geometric planes. The outer frame of each geometric plane is provided with a conductor, and each conductor is connected to a conductive component. The conductive component extends to the geometric face adjacent to the corresponding geometric plane. Each geometric plane corresponds to at least one conductive layer. When each geometric plane contacts the capacitive touch screen, the capacitance formed by the corresponding conductive layer and the sensing electrode in the capacitive touch screen is different for each. When a user holds the touch-interactive peripheral and contacts the glass cover of the capacitive touch screen, the capacitive touch screen can determine the contact position and the current intensity related to the capacitance based on the circuit detected at the time of contact. Thus, it can respond at the contact position according to the control command associated with the geometric plane corresponding to the current intensity. This is equivalent to a user holding an interactive peripheral being able to quickly adjust the geometric plane in contact with the capacitive touch screen to input different control commands, meeting the diverse input needs in multi-person communication scenarios.

[0054] Figure 19 This is a flowchart illustrating an interaction method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The interaction method is implemented by an electronic device, specifically a capacitive touchscreen electronic device. This capacitive touchscreen electronic device is equipped with the aforementioned touch interaction peripheral and implements touch interaction based on the detection results of the touch interaction peripheral. Please refer to... Figure 19 The interaction method includes steps S110-S140:

[0055] Step S110: Acquire capacitive touch data obtained from touch operation detection in real time.

[0056] It should be noted that the specific touch detection process, such as sending a drive signal to the driving electrode, detecting signal changes from the sensing electrode, and obtaining capacitive touch data based on the signal changes, is the general implementation process of a capacitive touch screen. The embodiments of this application are based on this general implementation process, and further increase the data dimension changes of the capacitive touch data to obtain richer interactive references and corresponding response logic.

[0057] Step S120: Extract the first parameter and the second parameter from the capacitive touch data. The first parameter is used to characterize the rate of change of the coupling current when a touch operation is detected, and the second parameter is used to characterize the position of the touch operation.

[0058] At the capacitive touch data level, it's not possible to directly identify which geometric plane performed the touch operation, nor which control command corresponds to that geometric plane. Capacitive touch data can only directly confirm the capacitance change caused by the current touch operation and the resulting electrical signal data representation. In this solution, based on the aforementioned touch interaction peripheral, the capacitive touch data specifically includes a first parameter and a second parameter. The first parameter characterizes the rate of change of the coupling current when a touch is detected; that is, how fast the current of the sensing electrode changes as the coupling capacitor formed by the geometric plane of the touch interaction peripheral charges when it contacts the capacitive touch screen. The second parameter characterizes the position of the touch operation and is part of the basic data obtained by the capacitive touch screen for touch detection. The first parameter is also a data dimension obtained from touch detection. This solution is based on this data dimension and represents the overall design from the touch interaction peripheral to the specific interaction logic. The extraction of the first and second parameters is performed according to the data transmission protocol.

[0059] Step S130: Confirm the target control command corresponding to the first parameter from the preset speed command relationship. The speed command relationship is used to record the speed of the coupling current change when different geometric planes perform touch operation in the touch interaction peripheral, as well as the control command corresponding to different geometric planes.

[0060] For capacitive touchscreen electronic devices, especially those applications that respond to touch operations from touch-interactive peripherals, it's unnecessary to directly record the geometric plane settings and control command definitions of the peripherals. Instead, it's sufficient to record the rate of change in coupling current corresponding to touch operations on different geometric planes, along with the corresponding control commands. During testing, the corresponding control commands are confirmed based on the detected parameters. This solution associates the recorded data with the rate of change in coupling current corresponding to touch operations on different geometric planes and the corresponding control commands, defining a preset speed-command relationship. The specific rate of change in coupling current corresponding to touch operations on different geometric planes is first obtained through laboratory testing, and the specific control commands are defined functionally based on the preset application scenario.

[0061] In practical operation, there may be situations where the first parameter corresponds to an associated control command, and the location confirmed by the second parameter corresponds to an interactive control, which also corresponds to an associated control command. From a general interaction logic perspective, the display of the interactive control is the most intuitive. When the user actively operates the touch interaction peripheral at the location where the interactive control is displayed, it can be assumed that the user needs to trigger the control command corresponding to the interactive control. Therefore, the second parameter is used to confirm whether an interactive control exists at the location of the touch operation. If an interactive control exists, it indicates that the touch operation has a clear purpose, and the interactive control is responded to directly. Of course, in the specific implementation, this can be further refined; for example, only click operations will trigger the interactive control, otherwise the response will be the target control command in the speed command relationship. Of course, it is possible that the intermediary currently performing the touch operation is not the touch interaction peripheral in this solution, and the target control command corresponding to the current first parameter cannot be determined from the speed command relationship. In this case, the existing response logic will be followed.

[0062] Step S140: Respond to the target control command at the position corresponding to the second parameter.

[0063] The specific content of the target control command depends on the application settings corresponding to the specific application scenario, such as graphics drawing, multi-person interaction, etc.

[0064] One specific application scenario of this interaction method is graphics drawing. Through a touch-interactive peripheral and this interaction method, rich input can be conveniently achieved in graphics drawing scenarios. In a graphics drawing scenario, the capacitive touchscreen electronic device currently displays a drawing application interface. This interface is used by the drawing application to implement graphic input, enabling user drawing operations in the graphics drawing scenario. Each geometric plane of the touch-interactive peripheral has different graphic elements. The control command includes drawing a graphic identical to the graphic element at the starting position of the touch operation in the drawing application interface. When using the drawing application to support graphics drawing in the drawing scenario, the target control command corresponding to the first parameter is confirmed from a preset speed command relationship, including: confirming the target graphic element to be drawn corresponding to the first parameter from the preset speed command relationship. Correspondingly, the target control command is responded to at the position corresponding to the second parameter, including: drawing the target graphic element at the position corresponding to the second parameter at the initial moment of the detected touch operation in the drawing application interface.

[0065] Please refer to the above drawing process. Figure 18 and Figure 20The touch interaction peripheral 10 has six geometric planes 11. This peripheral 10 is used for drawing applications. When the six geometric planes 11 contact the capacitive touchscreen, they generate different capacitances with the sensing electrodes. The control commands corresponding to the capacitances of the six geometric planes are, for example, drawing circles, triangles, and regular hexagons, and are respectively marked with labels 111 on the geometric planes 11. When a user needs to draw a circle in the drawing application interface 20, they hold the touch interaction peripheral 10, aligning the geometric plane 11 marked as a circle towards the capacitive touchscreen, and making contact with it in the display area of ​​the drawing application interface (there are no interactive controls at the contact point). The contact state at this time is as follows: Figure 20 As shown, the touch interaction peripheral 10 makes contact with the display area of ​​the drawing application interface 20, and the geometric plane marked with "○" as the identifier 111' faces the capacitive touch screen. When contact occurs, the capacitive touch screen detects and generates capacitive touch data. After the drawing application obtains the capacitive touch data, it extracts the first parameter and the second parameter. Based on the first parameter, it confirms that the corresponding target control command is to draw a circle, and then draws a circle 21 at the position corresponding to the second parameter.

[0066] Building upon the drawing process, users can directly adjust the target graphic elements based on the drawing operation. Specifically, the control commands also include scaling the target graphic element based on its position after the initial touch operation. Correspondingly, the target control command corresponding to the first parameter is determined from a preset speed command relationship, including: determining that the first parameter after the initial touch operation corresponds to scaling the target graphic element based on its position after the initial touch operation; and responding to the target control command at the position corresponding to the second parameter, including: scaling the target graphic element based on its position within the drawing application interface. Furthermore, the angle of the target graphic element can be adjusted based on the second parameter during the scaling process.

[0067] For details on adjusting the target graphic elements, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 21 and Figure 22 ,like Figure 21 As shown, in Figure 20 Based on this, the touch interaction peripheral 10 maintains a contact state after the circle 21 is drawn, and from... Figure 21 The position indicated by the dashed line is moved to the position indicated by the dashed arrow, maintaining the same direction. Circle 21 is then scaled proportionally according to the moving distance to obtain circle 22. For example... Figure 22 As shown, in Figure 20 Based on this, the touch interaction peripheral 10 maintains the contact state after the graphics 21 is drawn, and from Figure 22 The position indicated by the dotted line is changed in the direction pointed to by the dotted arrow. Figure 22As shown, taking the initial center of the circle as the starting point, the initial direction of the touch interaction peripheral 10 as the first direction, and the direction relative to the center of the circle during the movement of the touch interaction peripheral as the second direction, with the angle changed clockwise α), the circle 21 changes size and angle according to the movement distance and direction to obtain the circle 23 (the circle is a centrally symmetrical figure, and the angle rotation is imperceptible to the user's senses). Based on this interaction scheme, on the basis of quickly drawing graphic elements, it is also possible to continue to quickly adjust the graphic elements.

[0068] The graphic drawing process in this application can be used in various graphic drawing scenarios. For example, it can be used in teaching, where math teachers can draw various basic geometric shapes; or in early childhood education, where multiple touch-interactive peripherals can be set with different content such as animals, plants, numbers, and words, allowing children to input graphics through these peripherals and learn about the world interactively. Compared to the one-way output of existing electronic devices, this interactive approach is more helpful for children's development. The above are just two exemplary applications based on this solution; other interactions implemented based on the overall framework of this solution are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0069] In summary, the touch-interactive peripheral in this embodiment includes a multi-faceted body and at least one conductive layer disposed within the multi-faceted body. The geometry corresponding to the multi-faceted body is a shape enclosed by multiple geometric faces, each geometric face including at least two geometric planes. The outer frame of each geometric plane is provided with a conductor, and each conductor is connected to a conductive component. The conductive component extends to the geometric face adjacent to the corresponding geometric plane. Each geometric plane corresponds to at least one conductive layer. When each geometric plane contacts the capacitive touch screen, the capacitance formed by the corresponding conductive layer and the sensing electrode in the capacitive touch screen is different for each. When a user holds the touch-interactive peripheral and contacts the glass cover of the capacitive touch screen, the capacitive touch screen can determine the contact position and the current intensity related to the capacitance based on the circuit detected at the time of contact. Thus, it can respond at the contact position according to the control command associated with the geometric plane corresponding to the current intensity. This is equivalent to a user holding an interactive peripheral being able to quickly adjust the geometric plane in contact with the capacitive touch screen to input different control commands, meeting the diverse input needs in multi-person communication scenarios.
