[0059] 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.

[0060] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a cursor control method, and the execution subject may be a first electronic device, for example, a user equipment (UE), a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a handheld device, a computing device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, etc. In some possible implementations, the cursor control method may be implemented by a processor calling a computer-readable instruction stored in a memory.

[0061] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a cursor control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a first electronic device. Figure 1 It can be seen that the following steps are included:

[0062] S101, receiving an instruction to move a cursor on a display interface of the first electronic device;

[0063] S102, determining whether the cursor is located at an edge area of ​​the display interface;

[0064] S103 . In response to the cursor being located in the edge area, controlling the cursor to move according to the movement instruction; wherein the movement distance of the cursor is less than the distance indicated by the movement instruction.

[0065] In step S101, the first electronic device receives an instruction to move a cursor on a display interface, which may be that the first electronic device directly receives an instruction to move a cursor on a display interface issued by a user, for example, the first electronic device receives a touch operation issued by a user to indicate the movement of a cursor based on a touch component, or receives a voice issued by a user to indicate the movement of a cursor based on a sound receiving component, so that the first electronic device receives the corresponding movement instruction. Among them, the touch operation includes the operation of dragging a cursor on a screen of a smart phone or a touch pad of a laptop, clicking a button (including a physical button or a virtual button) to indicate the movement of a cursor, etc.; the voice includes "move right", "move left 100 pixels", etc.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first electronic device may also receive a movement instruction sent by the second electronic device; wherein the movement instruction is generated by the second electronic device based on a detected touch operation, or is generated by the second electronic device based on a voice uttered by a user.

[0067] Figure 2 This is an example diagram showing a first electronic device receiving a movement instruction sent by a second electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 In the embodiment, the head-mounted display device corresponds to the first electronic device, and the screen of the head-mounted display device includes the display interface of the first electronic device; the mobile phone corresponds to the second electronic device, and the virtual touchpad in the mobile phone has a projection relationship with the screen of the head-mounted display device, and the virtual cursor is used as a control medium. The mobile phone detects the touch operation based on the virtual touchpad and generates a movement instruction indicating the movement of the virtual cursor, so that the head-mounted display device receives the movement instruction, and the head-mounted display device can subsequently control the movement of the virtual cursor on the screen based on the movement instruction. By indirectly receiving the movement instruction by the first electronic device, the movement of the cursor in the display interface of the first electronic device can be controlled by the second electronic device, which can meet the needs of multi-device interaction scenarios.

[0068] In step S102, the first electronic device determines whether the cursor is located in the edge area of ​​the display interface; wherein the edge area is an area away from the center position of the display interface, the edge area can be one or more, and the shape of the edge area can be rectangular, circular, etc. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the shape and number of the edge area.

[0069] For example, Figure 3 An example of dividing the display interface area provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure Figure 1 , Figure 3 In the display interface, the display interface is divided into a safe area and a restricted area, wherein the restricted area corresponds to the edge area, and the safe area is the area outside the edge area; the circle represents the cursor; Figure 3 In the example, the cursor is located in the edge area (i.e., the restricted area) of the display interface.

[0070] Figure 4 An example of dividing the display interface area provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure Figure 2 , Figure 4 In the example, the cursor is located in an area outside the edge area of ​​the display interface (ie, a safe area).

[0071] In some embodiments, the edge area of ​​the display interface corresponds to a coordinate range. The first electronic device determines, based on the coordinates of the cursor and the coordinate range, that the cursor is located in the edge area of ​​the display interface if the coordinates of the cursor fall within the coordinate range; if the coordinates of the cursor do not fall within the coordinate range, the first electronic device determines that the cursor is located in an area outside the edge area of ​​the display interface.

[0072] Exemplarily, the coordinates of the cursor include the coordinates in the x direction and the coordinates in the y direction, and the coordinate range corresponding to the edge area includes the coordinate range in the x direction and the coordinate range in the y direction. If the coordinates of the cursor in the x direction fall within the coordinate range in the x direction, and / or the coordinates of the cursor in the y direction fall within the coordinate range in the y direction, it is determined that the cursor is located in the edge area of ​​the display interface.

[0073] In some embodiments, each pixel in the display interface corresponds to a pixel number, and the edge area corresponds to a set of pixel numbers of each pixel located in the edge area; the first electronic device determines the pixel number corresponding to the cursor according to the position of the cursor on the display interface, and when the pixel number corresponding to the cursor belongs to the pixel number set, determines that the cursor is located in the edge area of ​​the display interface; when the pixel number corresponding to the cursor does not belong to the pixel number set, determines that the cursor is located in an area outside the edge area of ​​the display interface.

[0074] In step S103, in response to the cursor being located in the edge area, the cursor is controlled to move according to the movement instruction; wherein the movement distance of the cursor is less than the distance indicated by the movement instruction. The distance indicated by the movement instruction in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be the sliding distance of the user's dragging operation on the touch component, the distance corresponding to clicking the button indicating the movement of the cursor; it may also be the distance carried by the user's voice, such as the distance carried by the voice "move left 100 pixels" is 100 pixels; the distance corresponding to the user's voice, such as the preset distance corresponding to the voice "move right", such as "50 pixels", etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0075] In some embodiments, the edge area corresponds to a preset distance weight, which is less than 1; thus, in response to the cursor being located in the edge area, the first electronic device controls the cursor to move a distance weighted by the preset distance weight based on the movement control instruction.

[0076] In some embodiments, the edge area corresponds to a preset distance reduction amount, and the preset distance reduction amount is greater than 0; thus, in response to the cursor being located in the edge area, the first electronic device controls the cursor to move a distance represented by the difference between the distance indicated by the movement control instruction and the preset distance reduction amount based on the movement control instruction.

[0077] It is understandable that, on the one hand, since the edge area is close to the edge of the display interface, the cursor is likely to slide out of the display interface during movement. In response to this, the embodiment of the present disclosure controls the movement of the cursor according to the movement instruction in response to the cursor being located in the edge area of ​​the display interface, and the distance the cursor moves is less than the distance indicated by the movement instruction, which can reduce the problem of the cursor moving out of the edge of the display interface, such as the cursor losing tracking. On the other hand, compared with the related art in which the movement of the cursor is interrupted by triggering a hand-raising process when the cursor is located in the edge area, the embodiment of the present disclosure controls the cursor to move a smaller distance when the cursor is located in the edge area, maintains the consistency of the cursor movement, and reduces the fragmentation of the user's experience in the process of moving the cursor.

[0078] In some embodiments, in response to the cursor being located in the edge area, controlling the cursor to move according to the movement instruction includes:

[0079] In response to the cursor being located in the edge area, the cursor is controlled to move according to the movement instruction and the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area; wherein the distance of the cursor movement is positively correlated with the distance of the cursor from the outer edge of the edge area.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the distance between the cursor and the outer edge of the edge area is the minimum distance between the cursor and the outer edge of the edge area. Figure 3As shown, the outer edge of the edge area is a quadrilateral, and the distance between the cursor and the outer edge of the edge area includes four distances, wherein the minimum distance is the distance between the cursor and the outer edge of the edge area in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 The middle is the distance between the cursor and the right side of the outer edge.

[0081] In response to a cursor being located in an edge area of ​​a display interface, the first electronic device controls the movement of the cursor according to a movement instruction and the distance of the cursor from the outer edge of the edge area; wherein the distance of the cursor movement is positively correlated with the distance of the cursor from the outer edge of the edge area. In some embodiments, in response to a cursor being located in an edge area of ​​a display interface, based on a preset distance function, the distance of the cursor from the outer edge of the edge area and the distance indicated by the movement instruction are processed to obtain a processed movement distance, thereby controlling the movement of the cursor to the processed movement distance; wherein, the smaller the distance of the cursor from the outer edge of the edge area, the smaller the processed movement distance obtained based on the same distance indicated by the movement instruction.

[0082] In some embodiments, in response to the cursor being located in the edge area of ​​the display interface, the first electronic device determines the distance reduction corresponding to the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area based on a preset distance reduction correspondence relationship, and determines the difference between the distance indicated by the movement control instruction and the distance reduction amount, thereby controlling the cursor to move the distance represented by the difference; wherein the distance reduction correspondence relationship includes a mapping between the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area and the distance reduction amount, and the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area in each mapping relationship is positively correlated with the distance reduction amount.

[0083] Exemplarily, the closer the cursor is to the outer edge of the edge area, the smaller the distance the cursor is controlled to move, such as the closer it is to 0, thereby reducing the situation where the cursor slides out of the display interface.

[0084] It can be understood that the closer the cursor is to the outer edge of the edge area, the greater the possibility that the cursor slides out of the display interface. In this regard, the embodiments of the present disclosure respond to the cursor being located in the edge area, and control the movement of the cursor according to the movement instruction and the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area. The closer the cursor is to the outer edge of the edge area, the smaller the distance the cursor is controlled to move based on the movement instruction. On the basis of improving the consistency of the cursor movement in the edge area, the occurrence of problems such as the cursor being lost due to the cursor moving out of the display interface is further reduced.

[0085] In some embodiments, the movement instruction carries movement distance information; and controlling the movement of the cursor according to the movement instruction and the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area includes:

[0086] determining a distance weight according to the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area;

[0087] Determine the target moving distance according to the distance weight and the moving distance information;

[0088] The cursor is controlled to move according to the target moving distance.

[0089] In the disclosed embodiment, the movement instruction carries movement distance information, such as the sliding distance of the user's dragging operation on the touch component, the distance carried by the user's voice, etc.

[0090] The first electronic device of the disclosed embodiment determines the weight corresponding to the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area as the distance weight based on a preset weight relationship; or, uses a preset weight function to process the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area to obtain the distance weight; wherein, as can be seen from the above, the distance weight is less than 1, and the distance weight is positively correlated with the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area.

[0091] After determining the distance weight, in some embodiments of the disclosed embodiments, the first electronic device weights the moving distance information by the distance weight and determines the result as the target moving distance, thereby controlling the cursor to move according to the target moving distance.

[0092] In some embodiments, the first electronic device determines the result of weighting the moving distance information with the distance weight, further corrects the result using a preset correction distance, and determines the corrected result as the target moving distance; wherein the preset correction distance can be obtained through multiple test fittings.

[0093] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the target moving distance through a distance weight that is positively correlated with the distance of the cursor from the outer edge of the edge area, and controls the cursor to move according to the target moving distance, so that the target moving distance is less than the distance indicated by the moving instruction, thereby improving the correlation between the target moving distance and the distance indicated by the moving instruction, thereby improving the consistency between the cursor movement and the user's intention, and providing a better user experience.

[0094] In some embodiments, determining the distance weight according to the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area includes:

[0095] Determine a ratio of a distance of the cursor relative to an outer edge of the edge area to a width of the edge area;

[0096] The distance weight is determined according to the ratio; wherein the distance weight is positively correlated with the ratio.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first electronic device determines the ratio of the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area to the width of the edge area; wherein the width of the edge area is the distance between the outer edge and the inner edge of the edge area, such as Figure 5 The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a local example diagram of an edge area, wherein, taking the x direction as an example, the distance between the cursor and the inner edge of the edge area is dX, the width of the edge area is cX, and the distance between the cursor and the outer edge of the edge area is cX-dX; the above ratio is It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the ratio of the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area to the width of the edge area is less than 1, and the ratio is positively correlated with the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area.

[0098] After determining the ratio, the first electronic device of the disclosed embodiment determines the distance weight according to the ratio; for example, the distance weight corresponding to the ratio is determined according to a correspondence between a preset ratio and the distance weight; or the distance weight is obtained by processing the ratio using a preset function; wherein the distance weight is positively correlated with the ratio.

[0099] It can be understood that compared to determining the distance weight based on the absolute distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area, the method of determining the distance weight based on the ratio of the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area and the width of the edge area in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applicable to display interfaces of different sizes, thereby improving the generalization capability of the cursor control method of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0100] In some embodiments, determining the distance weight according to the ratio includes:

[0101] The ratio is squared using a preset square root function to obtain the distance weight; wherein the number of square roots of the preset square root function is greater than a preset number threshold.

[0102] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the first electronic device determines the ratio of the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area to the width of the edge area, it uses a preset square root function to perform square root processing on the comparison value to obtain a distance weight; wherein the number of square roots of the preset square root function is greater than a preset number threshold; exemplarily, the preset number threshold is 4.

[0103] Taking the preset square root function as the 8th square root function as an example, the distance weight L x It can be expressed by the following formula (1):

[0104]

[0105] Wherein, cX represents the width of the edge area, and dX represents the distance of the cursor relative to the inner edge of the edge area.

[0106] Figure 6 An exemplary square root function provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein L1 indicates a quadratic square root function Trend graph, L2 indicates the fourth square root function Trend graph, L3 indicates the eighth square root function The trend graph of , where x is less than 1. It should be noted that Figure 6 It is used to illustrate the changes of the square root function curve with different square root times. Figure 6 In the square root function shown, x may be the ratio of the distance of the cursor relative to the inner edge of the edge area to the width of the edge area.

[0107] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that, on the one hand, the slope of the quadratic square root function curve is relatively large, and the slope of the curves of the fourth square root function and the eighth square root function is relatively gentle. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure uses a preset square root function with a square root number greater than a preset number threshold to perform square root processing on the ratio of the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area to the width of the edge area to obtain a distance weight, thereby controlling the movement of the cursor according to the distance weight and the movement instruction, so that the distance weight corresponding to the cursor at different positions is less different (better continuity), and the smoothness of the distance weight corresponding to different positions is improved. On the other hand, when the cursor of the embodiment of the present disclosure is close to the inner edge of the edge area, the closer the distance weight is to 1, that is, the closer the distance moved by the cursor is to the distance indicated by the movement instruction, so that when the cursor slides from the safe area into the edge area, or from the edge area into the safe area, the user experience is reduced. The user perception of the sudden decrease or increase in the distance of the cursor movement caused by the user is split. In addition, compared with using a neural network model to process the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area to obtain a distance weight, the embodiment of the present disclosure uses a function to determine the distance weight, which saves the computing pressure of the first electronic device.

[0108] In some embodiments, the movement distance information includes a movement distance in a preset direction;

[0109] The determining of the distance weight according to the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area includes:

[0110] Determining a distance weight corresponding to the preset direction according to the distance of the cursor relative to the outer edge of the edge area in the preset direction;

[0111] The step of determining the target moving distance according to the distance weight and the moving distance information includes:

[0112] The target moving distance of the cursor in the preset direction is determined according to the moving distance in the preset direction and the distance weight corresponding to the preset direction.

[0113] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the moving distance information includes the moving distance in a preset direction; wherein the preset direction is such as the x direction and the y direction, wherein the x direction and the y direction can be directions in the world coordinate system or directions in the coordinate system of the first electronic device, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0114] In some embodiments, the closer the cursor is to the outer edge of the edge area, the smaller the distance weight corresponding to the x direction is, for example, the distance weight corresponding to the x direction is closer to 0, thereby reducing the situation where the cursor slides out of the display interface.

[0115] The first electronic device determines the distance weight corresponding to the preset direction based on the distance of the cursor in the preset direction relative to the outer edge of the edge area, and thereby determines the target moving distance of the cursor in the preset direction based on the moving distance in the preset direction and the distance weight corresponding to the preset direction.

[0116] by Figure 3 Taking the cursor position shown in as an example, since the cursor is located in the edge area in the x direction (the coordinates of the cursor in the x direction fall into the coordinate range corresponding to the edge area in the x direction), the distance weight L corresponding to the x direction is determined based on the above formula (1): x (The distance weight L corresponding to the y direction y As 1); so that when the preset distance information includes moving 100 pixels in the x direction, the cursor is controlled to move 100 pixels in the x direction and L x Weighted distance.

[0117] In addition, since the cursor is located in an area outside the edge area in the y direction (the coordinate of the cursor in the y direction does not fall within the coordinate range corresponding to the edge area in the y direction), the distance weight corresponding to the y direction can be set to 1; thereby, when the preset distance information includes moving 100 pixels in the y direction, the cursor is controlled to move a distance corresponding to 100 pixels in the y direction.

[0118] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the distance weight corresponding to the preset direction based on the distance of the cursor in the preset direction relative to the outer edge of the edge area, thereby determining the target movement distance of the cursor in the preset direction. On the basis of improving the consistency of the cursor movement in the edge area, it can improve the control distance of the cursor movement and the degree of matching between the movement direction and the movement instruction, thereby improving the accuracy of the cursor movement.

[0119] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0120] In response to the cursor being located in an area outside the edge area, the cursor is controlled to move a distance indicated by the movement instruction.

[0121] In the disclosed embodiment, in response to the cursor being located in an area outside the edge area (i.e., the safety area), the cursor is controlled to move the distance indicated by the movement instruction, for example, the cursor is controlled to move the distance consistent with the distance indicated by the movement instruction. Exemplarily, when the cursor is located in an area outside the edge area, the movement distance of the cursor will be 100% fully mapped, for example: every 100 pixel slides on the touch pad of the mobile phone will be reflected in the cursor movement of 100 pixel points in the screen display area of ​​the head-mounted display device.

[0122] In addition, when the second electronic device sends a movement instruction to the first electronic device based on the touch instruction detected by the touch component, the first electronic device obtains the first pixel density of the display interface of the first electronic device and the second pixel density of the second electronic device, and determines the density ratio of the first pixel density to the second pixel density, thereby controlling the cursor movement to be a distance represented by multiplying the distance indicated by the movement instruction by the density ratio.

[0123] It can be understood that, on the one hand, if the cursor is controlled to move a distance consistent with the distance indicated by the movement instruction, the distance weight can be regarded as 1; when the cursor is located in the edge area close to the inner edge of the edge area, the distance weight is close to 1, so that when the cursor slides from the safe area to the edge area, or from the edge area to the safe area, the user experience fragmentation caused by the user's perception of a sudden decrease or increase in the cursor movement distance is reduced. On the other hand, if the cursor is controlled to move the distance indicated by the movement instruction based on the first pixel density and the second pixel density, the matching degree of multi-device interactive control can be improved, and the accuracy and generalization ability of cursor control can be improved.
