Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of electronic device control technology, and in particular to a control method and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] For electronic devices, especially large ones, the screen display area is significantly increased. When users hold the device with one hand and operate applications, the palm or the web of the hand holding the device can easily come into unintentional contact with the screen. This contact may be recognized by the system as a valid touch operation, leading to accidental touches, interfering with user interaction, and reducing operating efficiency and experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This disclosure provides a control method and an electronic device.

[0004] According to one aspect of this disclosure, a control method is provided, comprising: dividing a display area into a first display area and a second display area based on a first object; the first object being located in the first display area and in a first state capable of responding to an input operation; obtaining an input operation for the second display area; if the input operation is a first input operation, not responding to the first input operation, and the second object in the second display area maintaining a second state, the second state being a state in which the second object cannot respond to the input operation; if the input operation is a second input operation, the second object in the second display area switching from the second state to the first state.

[0005] According to embodiments of this disclosure, before obtaining an input operation for the second display area, the method further includes: determining a working mode of the second display area based on a first input operation for the second display area; if the first input operation is a first input operation, determining the working mode of the second display area as a first working mode, wherein the first working mode is an object in the response area of ​​the first working mode that does not transmit the input operation; if the first input operation is a second input operation, determining the working mode of the second display area as a second working mode, wherein the second working mode is an object in the response area of ​​the second working mode that transmits the input operation.

[0006] According to embodiments of this disclosure, it further includes: determining that the second display area applies a first working mode based on the second object in the second display area being in a second state, wherein the first working mode is to not transmit input operations to objects in the response area of ​​the first working mode.

[0007] According to embodiments of this disclosure, before obtaining an input operation for the second display area, the method further includes: determining a working mode of the second display area based on a first input operation for the second display area; if the first input operation is a first input operation, determining the working mode of the second display area as a first working mode, wherein the first working mode employs a first input processing strategy for a first sub-region divided in the second display area according to the area of ​​the first input operation, and employs a second input processing strategy for a second sub-region, wherein the first input processing strategy does not transmit the input operation to an object in the response area of ​​the first input processing strategy, and the second input processing strategy transmits the input operation to an object in the response area of ​​the second input processing strategy; if the first input operation is a second input operation, determining the working mode of the second display area as a second working mode, wherein the second working mode transmits the input operation to an object in the response area of ​​the second working mode.

[0008] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the input operation detection rate of the second sub-region is lower than that of the input operation detection rate of the first display region.

[0009] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, after the display area is divided into a first display area and a second display area, the second display area is determined as the response area of ​​the first working mode. The area of ​​the response area is larger than the default response area of ​​the first working mode, which is the area of ​​the response area of ​​the first working mode before the display area is divided into the first display area and the second display area.

[0010] According to embodiments of this disclosure, dividing a display area into a first display area and a second display area includes: dividing the display area into multiple sub-display areas based on at least one of multiple objects, with each object displayed in the multiple sub-display areas respectively; dividing the sub-display area where the object is in a first state into the first display area; and dividing at least one sub-display area where the object is in a second state into the second display area.

[0011] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, a first object in a first display area is in a first state, and the first display area adopts a second working mode. A second object in a second display area is in a second state, and the second display area adopts a first working mode. The second working mode is for transmitting input operations to objects in the response area of ​​the second working mode. In response to the second object switching from the second state to the first state, the second display area switches from the first working mode to the second working mode. The first display area switches from the second working mode to the first working mode.

[0012] According to embodiments of this disclosure, dividing a display area into a first display area and a second display area based on a first object includes: in response to a switch of the display area of ​​an electronic device from a first size to a second size, dividing the display area into a first display area and a second display area based on the first object; the second size is larger than the first size.

[0013] Another aspect of this disclosure provides an electronic device, a touch display screen, and at least one processor; configured to: divide a display area into a first display area and a second display area based on a first object; the first object is located in the first display area and is in a first state capable of responding to an input operation; obtain an input operation for the second display area; if the input operation is a first input operation, not responding to the first input operation, and a second object in the second display area remains in a second state, the second state being a state in which the second object cannot respond to an input operation; if the input operation is a second input operation, the second object in the second display area switches from the second state to the first state.

[0014] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the electronic device further includes a sensor communicatively connected to the processor; in response to the sensor detecting an attitude change action of the electronic device, the processor determines the display area of ​​the touch screen; if the display area of ​​the touch screen switches from a first size to a second size, the display area is divided into a first display area and a second display area based on a first object; the second size is larger than the first size.

[0028] The exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments to aid understanding, and should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0029] In the technical solutions disclosed herein, the collection, storage, use, processing, transmission, provision, disclosure, and application of data (including but not limited to user personal information) comply with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations, necessary confidentiality measures have been taken, and they do not violate public order and good morals.

[0030] With the development of display technology in electronic devices, the size of the display area is constantly increasing, providing users with a richer visual experience and interactive space. Users often need to focus on or process multiple different content elements simultaneously within the same display area. These content elements are presented in the form of specific objects in the display area, such as application interfaces, functional controls, or information windows.

[0031] In some examples, objects in the display area are typically configured to respond to user input; that is, the system transmits input (such as touch events) to these objects, which then respond. This mechanism fails to effectively distinguish between intentional and unintentional user actions. When a user touches the display area for reasons such as holding the device, adjusting posture, or other non-operational purposes, these unintentional touches are also recognized as valid input by the system, leading to accidental triggering of objects and resulting in unexpected interface responses, function activations, or content switching. Such misoperations not only interfere with normal user operation but also reduce operational efficiency and user experience.

[0032] Therefore, a control method is needed that can distinguish between intentional user actions and unintentional touches to avoid accidental operations while maintaining the integrity of the split-screen experience.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method of this embodiment includes operations S110-S140.

[0035] In operation S110, based on the first object, the display area is divided into a first display area and a second display area; the first object is located in the first display area and is in a first state that can respond to input operations.

[0036] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first object is in a first state capable of responding to input operations, meaning that when an input operation is applied to the first display area, the first object can receive the operation and respond accordingly. The first object is the element currently serving as the primary interaction target; for example, its specific form may be a complete window of an application, a functional view within an application, or a collection of independent interactive controls.

[0037] In embodiments of this disclosure, the display area refers to the entire usable area of ​​the electronic device screen. For example, the display area could be the entire screen area of ​​a foldable phone when unfolded.

[0038] In embodiments of this disclosure, the display area is divided into a first display area and a second display area based on a first object. The system divides the screen into two parts according to the position of the first object. The first display area is the area where the first object is displayed, and the second display area is the area within the display area excluding the first display area.

[0039] For example, when a user unfolds a foldable phone and enters split-screen mode, a text editor (the first object) is displayed on the left and a browser is displayed on the right. The system divides the left side into the first display area and the right side into the second display area.

[0040] For example, when a user launches a full-screen application, the screen also displays a sidebar. The system can allocate the main area of ​​the screen as the first display area and the area occupied by the sidebar as the second display area, based on the full-screen application currently in focus (the first object).

[0041] In embodiments of this disclosure, a first state refers to an object being in an active state, capable of receiving and responding to input operations from the system. For example, when a user clicks on an object in the first state, the object will perform a corresponding operation (such as opening a link or entering text).

[0042] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first object is located in a first display area and is in a first state capable of responding to input operations. The first object is located within the first display area and is in an active state, capable of responding normally to user touch operations. For example, a user can perform operations such as typing and selection within a text editor (the first object), and the system will transmit these operations to the text editor.

[0043] In operation S120, an input operation is obtained for the second display area.

[0044] In embodiments of this disclosure, input operations refer to user touch events on the screen, which may include clicking, swiping, etc. For example, the act of a user's finger or palm touching the screen.

[0045] In embodiments of this disclosure, an input operation is obtained for a second display area. The system detects a touch event occurring in the second display area.

[0046] For example, when a user holds the device with one hand, their palm may touch the right-side browser area (second display area), and the system will capture this touch event.

[0047] In operation S130, if the input operation is the first input operation, the first input operation is not responded to, and the second object in the second display area remains in the second state, which is the state in which the second object cannot respond to the input operation.

[0048] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first input operation may be an input that is not intended for operation, such as unintentional contact or gripping. For example, the first input operation may include the user's palm making large-area contact with the edge of the screen.

[0049] In embodiments of this disclosure, the second object may be one or more interactive elements located within the second display area. For example, the second object may be a button, link, etc., in a browser.

[0050] In embodiments of this disclosure, the second state refers to an object being inactive and unable to respond to input operations. The system will not transmit input operations to this object, and the object will not react even if a touch event occurs. For example, if both objects can receive voice input, and when the system receives voice input, the first object is in an active state while the second object is inactive, the system will transmit the input to the first object.

[0051] In embodiments of this disclosure, if the input operation is a first input operation, the system does not respond to the first input operation, and the second object in the second display area remains in a second state, which is a state in which the second object cannot respond to the input operation. The system determines whether the input operation is an unintentional contact (first input operation). If so, the system ignores the operation, the second object remains inactive, and does not respond.

[0052] For example, the system determines that the user's palm is unintentionally gripping the device based on the touch characteristics of the input operation (such as contact area, pressure, etc.), and therefore does not transmit the touch event to the browser, keeping the browser inactive to avoid accidental touches.

[0053] In operation S140, if the input operation is a second input operation, the second object in the second display area switches from the second state to the first state.

[0054] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the second input operation refers to an intentional operation, such as clicking, swiping, or other inputs with a clear interactive intent.

[0055] In embodiments of this disclosure, if the input operation is a second input operation, the second object in the second display area switches from a second state to a first state. If the system determines that the input operation is an intentional operation (the second input operation), it switches the second object to an active state, enabling it to respond to subsequent operations.

[0056] For example, if a user makes a clear click in the browser area (second display area), the system recognizes it as an intentional action and switches the browser to the first state (active state), after which the user can operate the browser normally.

[0057] By dividing the display area and differentiating input operation types, the accidental touch problem of large-screen devices is effectively solved through the embodiments of this disclosure. When the user holds the device with one hand, the system can recognize unintentional contact and maintain the second state of the object in the second area to avoid accidental operation. When the user intentionally operates the object in the second area, the object in the second area can switch to the first state and respond to the output operation, ensuring smooth interaction. The method of this embodiment improves operational stability and efficiency while maintaining the integrity of the user experience, and achieves intelligent anti-accidental touch without requiring the user to manually switch modes.

[0058] Understandably, the anti-mistouch mechanism in this embodiment is not achieved by physically blocking or software-blocking part of the screen display area. Instead, it determines the intent of the input operation. When the user holds the device with one hand, even if the palm comes into contact with the entire second display area, as long as the system determines it to be an unintentional contact (the first input operation), the application response will not be triggered. However, the display content in that area remains complete, visible, and unobstructed. The interface information of the second object can be fully displayed, and the user can still browse its content normally, effectively utilizing the screen display area. This embodiment solves the problem of accidental touches while holding the device, while avoiding the problem of sacrificing effective display area due to setting an anti-mistouch dead zone, improving the one-handed operation friendliness of large-screen devices, and maximizing the utilization of screen space.

[0059] Figure 2(a) is a schematic diagram of the display area division according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0060] As shown in Figure 2(a), a display area division scheme based on a side-by-side layout is provided. The entire display area is divided into two parallel areas along the vertical direction. The left side is the first display area, used to carry the current user's focus task. The right side is the second display area, occupying the remaining area, used to display auxiliary or background content.

[0061] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the display area is divided into a first display area and a second display area based on a first object. The first object can be a core interactive content entity located within the first display area. For example, in a split-screen scenario, the first object can be a complete document editing application window, which contains multiple operable elements such as text boxes and toolbar buttons. In a single-application full-screen scenario, the first object can also be the main functional view of the application (such as the main canvas of a drawing software). The first object is in a first state (active state). In this state, the system transmits captured input operations (such as clicks and swipes) occurring within the first display area to the first object, and the first object can respond instantly (such as receiving text input or executing drawing instructions).

[0062] In embodiments of this disclosure, the second object can be one or more interactive elements located within the second display area. For example, in split-screen mode, the second object can be a browser application window. In desktop mode, the second object can be a collection of multiple application icons and widgets. The second object is in a second state (inactive state) by default. In this state, the system does not transmit input operations occurring within the second display area to the second object, so all interface elements within this area will not respond to touch, thereby effectively preventing accidental touches.

[0063] For example, the first display area shows a document application, and the first object can be an operable element on the document application (such as a button, text input box, etc.) that can receive and respond to user actions. The second display area shows a desktop application, and the second object can be an operable element on the desktop application (such as an application entry, shortcut, etc.).

[0064] For example, when a user unfolds a foldable device, the system divides the screen into a left half (the first display area, showing the document application) and a right half (the second display area, showing the desktop application) based on the currently focused application (such as a document application). Each display area can contain multiple objects, the state of which is determined by the state of their respective applications. Objects from the focused application are in the first state, while objects from non-focused applications are in the second state.

[0065] It's important to note that the "second object" refers to all operable elements located within the second display area. All content within this area (whether user applications or system interfaces) is governed by the same set of rules. When this area is determined to be non-focused, all operable elements (i.e., second objects) within it are in a second state (inactive state), and the system will not transmit input operations to them, thus preventing accidental touches. For example, when the second display area is a blank desktop wallpaper, the blank area itself can be considered a second object (long-pressing a blank area enters desktop editing mode), and in this case, the blank area is in its second state.

[0066] Figure 2(b) is a schematic diagram of the display area division according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0067] As shown in Figure 2(b), a display area division scheme based on vertical layout is provided.

[0068] In the embodiments of this disclosure, based on the first object, the display area is divided vertically into a first display area and a second display area. In actual scenarios, the division direction of the display area is not limited to the vertical layout shown in Figure 2(a), but can also be the horizontal division shown in Figure 2(b).

[0069] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first object is located within the upper first display area and is the current focus of interaction. For example, the first object could be a player interface playing a video or an e-book page being read. The first object is in a first state (active state) and can respond to user controls (such as adjusting volume or turning pages).

[0070] In embodiments of this disclosure, the second object is located in the lower second display area as auxiliary content. For example, the second object may be a video comment list, an e-book table of contents, or an annotation area. The second object is in a second state (inactive state) by default, and its internal buttons, links, etc., are temporarily inoperable to avoid accidental touches when the hand is holding the bottom.

[0071] In the embodiments of this disclosure, when a user intentionally operates the lower area (such as clicking on a comment in the comment list), the operation is recognized as a second input operation. The system activates the second object and can deactivate the first object at the same time, thereby switching the focus between the upper and lower areas.

[0072] Figure 2(c) is a schematic diagram of the display area division according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0073] As shown in Figure 2(c), a logic is provided for dividing functional areas within the same application, rather than splitting screens between different applications.

[0074] In the embodiments of this disclosure, based on the first object, the display area is divided into a first display area and a second display area. A full-screen application interface is logically divided into three functional areas. The central area is the first display area, which is the current core interaction area. The left and right sides (or one side) are the second display areas, which can be auxiliary function panel areas.

[0075] In embodiments of this disclosure, the objects can be different functional components, views, or windows within the same application. The first object can be a functional component or view located in the central core interaction area of ​​the application. For example, in chat software, the first object can be a dialog box view containing chat history and input boxes; in drawing software, the first object can be the main canvas area. The first object is in a first state (active state), where the user can directly input chat information or draw graphics.

[0076] In embodiments of this disclosure, the second object can be one or more functional components located within the second display area and in an inactive state. The second object can be a collection of functional components or controls located in the side auxiliary area of ​​an application. As shown in Figure 2(c), there can be one "second object" on each side; for example, the left side could be a brush library of a drawing software, and the right side could be a color picker. For example, the contact list on the left and the favorites list on the right in a chat application, or the toolbar on the left and the layer management panel on the right in a drawing application. They are used as second objects by default and are in a second state (inactive state). The second objects are visible, but the system will not pass touch events to the list items or buttons in these sidebars to prevent accidental operation when the user's arm or palm touches the side.

[0077] In the embodiments of this disclosure, although they belong to the same application, the first object and the second object are treated differently in terms of interaction priority. When a user intends to interact with the second object (such as clicking on a tool in the sidebar), this operation can be regarded as a second input operation, which will trigger the second object to switch from an inactive second state to an active first state, while the original first object may become inactive.

[0078] For example, when a user intends to use the sidebar function, an explicit activation operation is required. The user clicks the title bar of the contact list on the left; this second input operation switches the second object on the left (the contact list) to its first state, at which point the user can scroll and select contacts. Simultaneously, the central chat dialog box (originally the first object) may temporarily switch to the second state. This embodiment's method achieves fine-grained control over focus and accidental touch prevention management between different functional modules in a single-application full-screen interface.

[0079] The method disclosed in this embodiment is not only applicable to split-screen between different applications, but also to logical partitioning and focus management between different functional areas within the same application. It can also achieve intelligent anti-mistouch and focus management in the full-screen interface of a single application.

[0080] Figure 2(d) is a schematic diagram of the display area division according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0081] As shown in Figure 2(d), a nested display area division scheme is provided, which involves the stacking of window layers.

[0082] In the embodiments of this disclosure, there are two display layers. The bottom layer is the second display area, which typically covers the entire screen, such as the device's main desktop. Above this layer, a smaller, top-level window floats, and the area occupied by this window is the first display area.

[0083] For example, the second display area could be the underlying device desktop, where the second objects are interactive elements such as application icons and widgets. The first display area could be an overlaid floating application (such as a calculator), where the first objects are controls such as buttons and display areas on the floating application's interface.

[0084] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first object may be an application interface and its controls located within a top-level floating window (first display area). For example, a floating calculator application is displayed within the first display area, and its number keys and operator buttons are interactive first objects. The first object is in a first state (active state), and the user can directly click these buttons to perform calculations.

[0085] In embodiments of this disclosure, the second object can be any interactive element located on the underlying desktop (second display area). For example, the second object may include application icons, folders, widgets, and the blank area of ​​the desktop itself (long press to enter edit mode). The second object is in a second state (inactive state). The system blocks touch events sent to the underlying desktop. When a user intends to operate the floating window, even if the touch position coincides with the underlying icon, it will not trigger the launch of the desktop application, thereby avoiding accidental touches in the floating window scenario.

[0086] In embodiments of this disclosure, focus switching can be triggered via window operations. When the user closes or minimizes the top-level floating window (first display area), the underlying desktop (second display area) is fully exposed and restored to an active state, at which point the desktop icons (second objects) become clickable. Conversely, when the floating window appears, it automatically gains focus, its internal objects are active, while the desktop objects are automatically set to an inactive state.

[0087] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a control method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0088] like Figure 3 As shown, before obtaining input operation for the second display area, the control method of this embodiment includes operations S310-S330.

[0089] In operation S310, the operating mode of the second display area is determined based on the first input operation for the second display area.

[0090] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first input operation refers to the first valid touch event detected in the second display area after the system divides the display area into a first display area and a second display area.

[0091] For example, when a user operates an electronic device into split-screen mode, their palm or fingers first touch the side of the screen where the non-focused application is located.

[0092] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the working mode refers to the touch processing strategy set by the system for the second display area, which determines how subsequent input operations in this area will be processed and responded to by the system.

[0093] In embodiments of this disclosure, the operating mode of the second display area is determined based on the initial input operation to the second display area. After the split-screen mode initialization is complete, the system waits for and captures the user's first touch action in the second display area (the non-focused application side). By analyzing the characteristics of this touch event, the system sets a continuously effective operating mode for that area until the focus application is switched.

[0094] In operation S320, if the first input operation is the first input operation, the working mode of the second display area is determined to be the first working mode. The first working mode is to not transmit the input operation to the object in the response area of ​​the first working mode.

[0095] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first input operation refers to an input operation with unintentional contact (such as gripping) characteristics. The characteristics for determining the first input operation may include a large contact area, irregular shape, dispersed pressure, location at the edge of the screen, and relative stillness.

[0096] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the first working mode is a touch strategy in which the system ignores or filters out most of the touch signals detected in the area to avoid accidental touches.

[0097] In embodiments of this disclosure, if the initial input operation is a first input operation, the operating mode of the second display area is determined to be a first operating mode, where input operations are not transmitted to objects in the response area. When the system analyzes the characteristics of the initial input operation (such as a large contact area or dispersed pressure) and determines that it is an unintentional contact made by the user for stable grip (i.e., the first input operation), the first operating mode is enabled for the second display area. The system determines that the primary function of this area is to provide grip support; therefore, subsequent similar touch events detected in this area (such as continuous palm contact) will be ignored by the system and will not be transmitted to the second object (non-focused application) in this area, thereby effectively preventing accidental operations.

[0098] For example, once the system recognizes the characteristics of hand contact, it will set the working mode of the right screen area to "anti-mistouch mode".

[0099] In operation S330, if the first input operation is a second input operation, the working mode of the second display area is determined to be the second working mode, which is the object in the response area of ​​the second working mode to which the input operation is transmitted.

[0100] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the second input operation refers to an input operation with intentional operation characteristics (such as clicking or swiping). The judgment characteristics of the second input operation may include small contact area, regular shape, concentrated pressure, and a clear movement trajectory.

[0101] In embodiments of this disclosure, the second operating mode is a touch strategy in which the system normally processes and responds to all touch events in the area.

[0102] In embodiments of this disclosure, if the initial input operation is a second input operation, the operating mode of the second display area is determined to be a second operating mode, where the input operation is transmitted to an object in the response area of ​​the second operating mode. If the system analyzes the characteristics of the initial input operation (such as a precise click) and determines that the user's intention is to operate the application on that side, then the second operating mode will be enabled for the second display area. Since the system determines that the user needs to interact with the application on that side, subsequent touch events in this area will be normally reported and transmitted to the second object in that area, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the operation.

[0103] For example, if a user directly clicks a link in the browser on the right, the system recognizes this as an intentional action and keeps the right side of the screen in full-function touch mode.

[0104] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the system determines the operating mode of the second display area based on the initial input operation. The operating mode determines whether the system transmits the input operation to the object within that area. When the second display area is set to the first operating mode, the system directly intercepts the input event in the distribution chain, preventing the input operation from reaching the object regardless of its state. Even if a non-focused object is logically responsive (i.e., the object itself is "active"), as long as the operating mode of its display area is set to "anti-accidental touch," any user contact will be filtered by the system, thus avoiding the possibility of accidental touch.

[0105] For example, an application's interface control in the second display area should be able to respond to clicks within the program, but because the second display area it is in is set to the first working mode (anti-accidental touch), the system will not distribute the user's palm touch event coordinates to it, thus preventing accidental operation.

[0106] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, the operating mode of the second display area is set by analyzing the initial contact characteristics, thereby achieving adaptive touch strategy. The method of this embodiment can accurately distinguish between grip and operation intention, automatically activating the corresponding anti-mistouch or full-function mode without user intervention, thus ensuring both the stability of the user's grip and the efficiency of user interaction.

[0107] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: determining that the second display area applies a first working mode based on the second object in the second display area being in a second state, wherein the first working mode is to not transmit input operations to objects in the response area of ​​the first working mode.

[0108] In embodiments of this disclosure, the second object refers to an application or interface element located within the second display area. For example, in split-screen mode, an application on the non-focus side (such as a web browser on the right).

[0109] In embodiments of this disclosure, based on the second object in the second display area being in a second state, a first working mode is determined for the second display area. The first working mode is to not transmit input operations to objects in the response area of ​​the first working mode. The system does not need to wait for or analyze specific input operations; it directly determines the interaction requirements of the area based on the current state (second state, i.e., inactive state) of the object (second object) in the second display area and applies the corresponding working mode accordingly.

[0110] In embodiments of this disclosure, once the second object is determined to be in an inactive second state, the system can determine that the primary need of the second display area is to avoid accidental touches rather than to receive fine-grained operations, and therefore the area applies a first working mode.

[0111] In embodiments of this disclosure, the interactive capabilities of an object are managed based on its state. The object state determines whether the object will execute the corresponding feedback logic after receiving an input operation. When a second object in the second display area is in the second state, even if the input operation is successfully transmitted to the object by the system (e.g., the display area it is in is operating in a transmission-enabled mode), the object will ignore the operation and not respond based on its own inactive state.

[0112] For example, when a user intentionally clicks a desktop icon on the non-focused side (the second object), the input is transmitted normally by the system. However, because the desktop application is currently inactive (the second state), it will not perform the operation to launch the application.

[0113] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the display area division according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0114] like Figure 4 As shown, the first display area can display a document application, and the first object can be a text input box. The second display area can display a browser application, and the second object can be a search box, which is in an inactive second state. Because the second object is in the second state, the system automatically applies the first working mode to the entire second display area on the right. Even if the user's palm is placed on the right side of the screen, the touch signal will be ignored by the system, and the browser will not generate any false responses.

[0115] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, by establishing a direct association between object state and area working mode, the automatic and rapid activation of the anti-mistouch strategy is achieved. When a non-focused object is inactive, the anti-mistouch mode is automatically applied to its area, effectively reducing system overhead and providing users with seamless and secure anti-mistouch protection.

[0116] Figure 5This is a flowchart of a control method according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0117] like Figure 5 As shown, before obtaining input operation for the second display area, the control method of this embodiment includes operations S510-S530.

[0118] In operation S510, the operating mode of the second display area is determined based on the first input operation for the second display area.

[0119] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first input operation refers to the first valid touch event detected in the second display area after the system divides the display area into a first display area and a second display area.

[0120] In embodiments of this disclosure, the operating mode of the second display area is determined based on the initial input operation to the second display area. After the split-screen mode is initialized, the system monitors the initial touch behavior of the second display area and determines which operating mode the area should subsequently adopt based on the characteristics of this behavior.

[0121] In operation S520, if the initial input operation is a first input operation, the operating mode of the second display area is determined to be a first operating mode. The first operating mode involves using a first input processing strategy for a first sub-region within the second display area, based on the area of ​​the first input operation, and using a second input processing strategy for the second sub-region. The first input processing strategy does not transmit the input operation to objects in the response area of ​​the first input processing strategy, while the second input processing strategy transmits the input operation to objects in the response area of ​​the second input processing strategy. In embodiments of this disclosure, the first input operation refers to an input operation with unintentional contact (such as gripping) characteristics. The first operating mode is a partitioned touch strategy that divides the second display area into a first sub-region and a second sub-region based on the area of ​​the first input operation, and uses different input processing strategies for each.

[0122] In embodiments of this disclosure, the area of ​​the first input operation refers to the physical area covered on the screen by the unintentional contact (such as palm contact). The system can measure the shape and size of this contact area via touch drive. The first sub-region refers to a sub-region divided within the second display area based on the contact area of ​​the initial input operation, and the first sub-region corresponds to or is slightly larger than the contact area. The second sub-region refers to the remaining portion of the second display area excluding the first sub-region.

[0123] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first input processing strategy is applied to a first sub-region, where any touch signals within this sub-region are ignored. The second input processing strategy is applied to a second sub-region, where this sub-region maintains normal touch response functionality.

[0124] In the embodiments of this disclosure, when the system determines that the initial input operation is an unintentional contact (the first input operation, such as hand grip), the first working mode is activated. The system does not set the entire second display area to prevent accidental touches, but rather divides the second display area into a first sub-region and a second sub-region based on the actual area of ​​the grip contact.

[0125] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the display area division according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0126] like Figure 6 As shown, if the initial input operation is the first input operation, the working mode of the second display area is determined to be the first working mode, and the second display area is divided into a first sub-area and a second sub-area. The first display area may include multiple first objects, and the second display area may include multiple second objects. A second object may be partially located in the first sub-area and partially located in the second sub-area. Alternatively, a second object may be entirely located in either the first or second sub-area.

[0127] For example, when the first input operation is a hand grip, the first sub-region is an area roughly corresponding to the palm's contact surface (e.g., a strip or block-shaped area at the edge of the screen). The system applies the first input processing strategy to this area, which is set as a "touch-invalid zone." The user's palm, web of the hand, etc., can safely rest in this area for stable support without causing any accidental operations. The second sub-region is the part of the second display area excluding the "touch-invalid zone." The system applies the second input processing strategy to this area, which is to maintain normal touch functionality. The user can still use the non-gripping part of this area with their other hand to perform clicks, swipes, and other operations, and have limited interaction with the second object (non-focused application).

[0128] In operation S530, if the first input operation is a second input operation, the working mode of the second display area is determined to be the second working mode, which is the object in the response area of ​​the second working mode to which the input operation is transmitted.

[0129] In embodiments of this disclosure, the second input operation refers to an input operation with intentional operational characteristics. The second operating mode is a touch strategy in which the second display area responds normally to touch.

[0130] In embodiments of this disclosure, if the initial input operation is a second input operation, the operating mode of the second display area is determined to be a second operating mode, which is an input operation that transmits the input operation to an object in the response area of ​​the second operating mode. If the system determines that the initial input operation is an intentional operation (the second input operation, such as a precise click), it assumes that the user's intention is to operate the entire second display area, enables the second operating mode for that area, and restores the normal touch function of the entire area.

[0131] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, a precise balance between preventing accidental touches and retaining operational capabilities is achieved by dynamically dividing sub-regions based on the initial contact area and applying different strategies. Users can maintain a stable grip while still performing limited operations in the available area on the non-focus side, improving the flexibility and efficiency of user interaction in one-handed grip scenarios.

[0132] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the input operation detection rate of the second sub-region is lower than that of the input operation detection rate of the first display region.

[0133] In embodiments of this disclosure, the input operation detection rate refers to the frequency at which the touch system scans the touchscreen and detects input operations per unit time. A higher detection rate means the system can capture changes in the touch point more frequently, resulting in smoother and more accurate touch tracking, but it consumes more power. A lower detection rate means the system can check the touch state at a lower frequency, which helps save power, but it may not be able to capture very fast and subtle touch movements.

[0134] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the second sub-region refers to a sub-region within the second display area that, when the initial input is determined to be a first input operation (unintentional touch), is divided based on its contact area and does not employ the first input processing strategy (i.e., the anti-mistouch strategy). The second sub-region still maintains a certain level of touch responsiveness.

[0135] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first display area refers to the area that displays the first object (focused application) in a first state (active state), and this area needs to maintain high-precision touch response.

[0136] In the embodiments of this disclosure, when the system determines that the second display area is operating in the first working mode based on the first contact, and accordingly divides it into a first sub-region (anti-mistouch area) and a second sub-region (touch-reserved area), the input operation detection rate of the second sub-region will be set lower than that of the first display area. The system adopts differentiated touch performance configurations for the non-focus side area with reserved touch function (the second sub-region) and the focus side main interaction area (the first display area). Since the second sub-region is not the user's main interaction area in the current scenario (its main function is grip support, retaining only limited operation possibilities), appropriately reducing its touch detection frequency can effectively reduce the computational load of touch-related processors without the user's notice, thereby optimizing power consumption.

[0137] For example, the system can maintain the touch reporting rate at 120Hz in the first display area where the focused application is located to ensure smooth operation, while reducing the reporting rate of the second sub-area (non-focused area) to 60Hz or 30Hz. In this way, even if the user occasionally operates in the second sub-area, the basic experience is not affected, but the overall power consumption of the system is reduced.

[0138] By differentiating the touch detection rates of different functional areas through embodiments of this disclosure, the system resource consumption of non-primary interaction areas is reduced while ensuring the interactive experience in the focus area. The method of this embodiment can effectively extend the device's battery life without the user's awareness.

[0139] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after the display area is divided into a first display area and a second display area, the second display area is determined as the response area of ​​a first working mode. The area of ​​the response area is larger than the default response area of ​​the first working mode, which is the area of ​​the response area of ​​the first working mode before the display area is divided into the first display area and the second display area.

[0140] In embodiments of this disclosure, the response area refers to a physical area of ​​the screen in which a certain operating mode (here referring to the first operating mode) is applied. Within this area, the policy set by the operating mode takes effect.

[0141] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the default response area refers to the size of the response area preset by the system for the first working mode (anti-mistouch mode) in the normal state (i.e., before entering split-screen mode and before the display area is divided into first and second display areas). The default response area is typically a narrow area of ​​fixed width at the edge of the screen, used to prevent slight accidental touches from the edge of the palm when holding the device.

[0142] In the embodiments of this disclosure, when the system is displayed in full-screen mode during normal application use, the "response area" of the system's anti-mistouch function (first working mode) is typically limited to a narrow strip at the outermost edge of the screen, i.e., the "default response area". The default area is designed based on the typical holding posture of a candybar phone or device when it is not unfolded, resulting in a small contact area.

[0143] Furthermore, when the device enters split-screen mode, and the display area is divided into a first display area (focus side) and a second display area (non-focus side), the contact area and probability between the user's palm, thumb, and other parts of the hand and the entire second display area are much greater than in the normal state when the device is held with one hand for stable support. Therefore, the method in this embodiment dynamically adjusts the range of the "response area" in the first working mode.

[0144] Furthermore, after the screen is divided, the system designates the entire second display area as the response area for the first working mode. The coverage area of ​​the anti-mistouch function has been expanded from the original narrow strip at the edge (default response area) to the entire half-screen or block on the non-focus side. The new response area is larger than the previous default response area. This ensures that regardless of how the user holds the non-focus side, the large area of ​​contact with their palm can be effectively included in the anti-mistouch protection range, significantly improving the reliability of anti-mistouch and the user experience.

[0145] For example, when not in split-screen mode, the anti-mistouch area can be a 5mm wide area on each side of the screen (default response area). After entering split-screen mode, if the right side is divided into a second display area, the entire right half of the screen (which may be tens of millimeters wide) is dynamically determined as the response area of ​​the first working mode.

[0146] Through embodiments of this disclosure, the response area of ​​the anti-mistouch mode is dynamically expanded to the entire non-focus side of the screen, making it adaptable to one-handed grip postures in split-screen mode. This method effectively overcomes the shortcomings of traditional fixed-edge anti-mistouch areas when faced with large-area palm contact, thereby improving the reliability of anti-mistouch.

[0147] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the display area is divided into a first display area and a second display area, including: dividing the display area into multiple sub-display areas based on at least one of multiple objects, with each object displayed in the multiple sub-display areas respectively; dividing the sub-display area where the object is in a first state into the first display area; and dividing at least one sub-display area where the object is in a second state into the second display area.

[0148] In the embodiments of this disclosure, "multiple objects" refers to multiple application instances or application interfaces that need to be displayed simultaneously on the screen. For example, in split-screen mode, a document editor, a web browser, a video player, etc., can run simultaneously. A sub-display area refers to a partial area of ​​the screen divided to display each of the above objects, and these areas together constitute the complete display area.

[0149] In embodiments of this disclosure, the display area is divided into multiple sub-display areas based on at least one of a plurality of objects. The system determines the multiple objects that need to be displayed simultaneously on the screen based on user commands to launch or switch applications. The system divides the entire screen display area into multiple sub-display areas, each used to independently display one object.

[0150] For example, the system can divide the screen into two equal sub-display areas, left and right, or divide it using different layouts such as picture-in-picture or three-screen layout.

[0151] In embodiments of this disclosure, an object being in a first state refers to the focus object that is currently active and capable of receiving and responding to input operations among multiple objects displayed simultaneously.

[0152] In embodiments of this disclosure, the sub-display area where the object is in a first state is defined as a first display area. The system identifies the object in the first state and delineates or categorizes the sub-display area containing the object as the first display area.

[0153] For example, in split-screen mode, if the document editor on the left is the focused application, the entire left sub-display area is designated as the first display area.

[0154] In embodiments of this disclosure, an object being in a second state refers to a non-focused object that is currently inactive and cannot respond to input operations among multiple objects displayed simultaneously.

[0155] In embodiments of this disclosure, at least one sub-display area where the object is in a second state is designated as a second display area. The system may combine or separately designate the remaining sub-display areas containing the object in the second state as a second display area. The second display area may include one or more non-focused sub-display areas.

[0156] For example, in a three-screen mode, if the video player in the middle is the focused application (first state), then its area is the first display area. The chat application on the left and the browser on the right are both inactive (second state), and their respective sub-display areas can be collectively defined as the second display area.

[0157] The embodiments of this disclosure clarify the logic for dividing the display area in split-screen mode, enabling it to flexibly adapt to complex split-screen layouts. By using the entire area where the focused application is located as the first display area and the area of ​​non-focused applications as the second display area, the clarity of interaction and the effectiveness of preventing accidental touches in complex split-screen scenarios are effectively improved.

[0158] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a first object in a first display area is in a first state, the first display area adopts a second working mode, a second object in a second display area is in a second state, the second display area adopts a first working mode, the second working mode is for transmitting input operations to objects in the response area of ​​the second working mode; in response to the second object switching from the second state to the first state, the second display area switches from the first working mode to the second working mode; the first display area switches from the second working mode to the first working mode.

[0159] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the first display area is the area displaying the focused application, and the first object within it is in a first state (active state) capable of responding to operations. The second operating mode is applied to the first display area, and its core purpose is to ensure normal interaction of the focused application. The second display area is the area displaying the non-focused application, and the second object within it is in a second state (inactive state) unresponsive to operations. The first operating mode is applied to the second display area, and its core purpose is to prevent accidental operation caused by holding or other unintentional contact.

[0160] In the embodiments of this disclosure, a first object in the first display area is in a first state, and the first display area adopts a second working mode. A second object in the second display area is in a second state, and the second display area adopts the first working mode. The steps of this embodiment clarify an optimized initial state configuration: the standard touch mode is on the side where the focus is located, and the anti-mistouch mode is on the side where the non-focus is located. Specifically, when the first object (such as the document editor on the left) is in the first state (active state), the first display area where it is located adopts the second working mode (standard touch) to ensure smooth operation. At the same time, the second object (such as the browser on the right) is in the second state (inactive state), and the second display area where it is located adopts the first working mode (anti-mistouch mode) to provide a support surface for the user's grip. The steps of this embodiment match the physical interaction needs of users holding the device with one hand and operating the focused application.

[0161] In embodiments of this disclosure, in response to the second object switching from a second state to a first state, the second display area switches from a first working mode to a second working mode; the first display area switches from a second working mode to a first working mode. The second object switches from a second state to a first state. For example, if a user clicks a link in the browser on the right (the second object), after the system recognizes this operation, it switches the browser's state from inactive (second state) to active (first state), making it the new focus application.

[0162] Furthermore, the second display area switches from the first working mode to the second working mode. Since the browser on the right becomes the focused application, the second display area where it is located needs to resume normal touch functionality. Therefore, the system switches the working mode of this area from the anti-mistouch mode (first working mode) to the standard touch mode (second working mode).

[0163] Furthermore, the first display area switches from the second working mode to the first working mode. Correspondingly, the original focused application (the document editor on the left) becomes the non-focused application, and the first display area where it is located switches from the standard touch mode (second working mode) to the anti-mistouch mode (first working mode).

[0164] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the working modes of the two display areas are automatically and synchronously switched. After switching, the new focus side (right side) provides precise operation, while the new non-focus side (left side) becomes a safe gripping area.

[0165] The embodiments of this disclosure achieve intelligent linkage and automatic switching between working modes and activation states. When the user's interaction focus changes, the touch strategy automatically switches between different display areas without manual user intervention, ensuring smooth operation during the interaction focus switching process and preventing accidental touches on the grip side.

[0166] In some embodiments of this disclosure, dividing the display area into a first display area and a second display area based on a first object includes: in response to the display area of ​​the electronic device switching from a first size to a second size, dividing the display area into a first display area and a second display area based on the first object; the second size is larger than the first size.

[0167] In embodiments of this disclosure, the display area of ​​an electronic device refers to the visible area of ​​the device screen, and its physical size can vary. For example, the electronic device may be a foldable screen phone.

[0168] In embodiments of this disclosure, the switching from a first size to a second size describes a dynamic change in the physical size of the display area. The first size typically refers to the display area size when the device is folded, closed, or in a small-screen state (e.g., the size when using the outer screen). The second size refers to the display area size when the device is unfolded, open, or in a large-screen state (e.g., the full size of the inner screen after unfolding), and the second size is larger than the first size.

[0169] In embodiments of this disclosure, in response to the display area of ​​the electronic device switching from a first size to a second size, the display area is divided into a first display area and a second display area based on a first object. When the system detects or a sensor (such as a Hall sensor or an angle sensor) reports that the display area has switched from the first size (such as the size of the outer screen in a folded state) to a larger second size (such as the size of the inner screen in a fully unfolded state), the split-screen display logic is activated.

[0170] Specifically, the system will divide the newly acquired large display area into a first display area and a second display area based on the first object running in the foreground when the switch occurs (i.e., the currently focused application, such as the social software that the user is using).

[0171] For example, when a foldable phone is unfolded, the system automatically enters split-screen mode, dividing the unfolded large screen into two parts. The currently focused application (the first object) is placed on the left (the first display area), while the right side (the second display area) can be left empty or automatically launch another application.

[0172] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, the division of the display area is correlated with changes in the physical form of the device, accurately positioning the large-size display scenario after the device screen is unfolded. Through automatically triggered intelligent partitioning and touch management, the problem of accidental touches while holding the device is solved, while maintaining the effective display area of ​​the screen, providing users with a safe and convenient one-handed operation experience.

[0173] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0174] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the electronic device 700 includes: a touch display screen 710 and at least one processor 720; configured to: divide a display area into a first display area and a second display area based on a first object; the first object is located in the first display area and is in a first state capable of responding to an input operation; obtain an input operation for the second display area; if the input operation is a first input operation, not responding to the first input operation, and the second object in the second display area remains in a second state, the second state being a state in which the second object cannot respond to an input operation; if the input operation is a second input operation, the second object in the second display area switches from the second state to the first state.

[0175] In this embodiment, the electronic device 700 can be a mobile terminal with a variable form factor, and the physical size of its touch display screen 710 can change. For example, the electronic device 700 can be a foldable screen device, a rollable screen device, a sliding screen device, or other types of retractable screen devices. In this embodiment, the processor 720 can execute the control method described above.

[0176] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the electronic device further includes a sensor communicatively connected to the processor; in response to the sensor detecting an attitude change action of the electronic device, the processor determines the display area of ​​the touch screen; if the display area of ​​the touch screen switches from a first size to a second size, the display area is divided into a first display area and a second display area based on a first object; the second size is larger than the first size.

[0177] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the electronic device is a foldable screen phone, its posture transformation action may include a transition from a folded state to an unfolded state. During this process, the display area of ​​the touch screen switches from a first size visible only to the outer screen to a second size after both the inner and outer screens are fully unfolded.

[0178] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the electronic device is a rollable screen device, its posture transformation action may include a transition from a retracted state to an extended state. During this process, the touch screen extends via a mechanical roll mechanism, and the display area switches from a first size to a second size.

[0179] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the electronic device is a sliding screen device, its posture transformation action may include a transition from a closed state to a sliding unfolded state. Through the relative sliding mechanism, the effective display area of ​​the touch screen is expanded, switching from a first size to a second size.

[0180] In embodiments of this disclosure, a sensor refers to a sensor used to detect morphological changes such as folding or unfolding of a device. For example, the sensor may be a Hall sensor, an angle sensor, a magnetic sensor, or a bending sensor.

[0181] In embodiments of this disclosure, when a user performs a posture transformation action (e.g., begins to unfold a foldable phone), the sensor detects this action and generates a corresponding electrical signal, which is then sent to the processor. Upon receiving the sensor signal, the processor determines the current display area of ​​the touchscreen. Specifically, the processor determines whether the display area has switched from a first size (e.g., a smaller outer screen or half-screen in the folded state) to a second size (e.g., a full, large screen in the fully unfolded state), and the second size is larger than the first size.

[0182] Furthermore, if the processor determines that the display area has indeed switched from a smaller size to a larger size, it immediately triggers the control method of the aforementioned embodiment. That is, the processor divides the newly obtained larger display area into a first display area and a second display area based on the first object running in the foreground when the switch occurs, and subsequently executes the corresponding touch optimization strategy.

[0183] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, sensors intelligently detect changes in device form and automatically trigger split-screen and touch optimization, achieving a seamless and smooth transition from single-screen use to large-screen split-screen. The steps in this embodiment reduce manual operation steps for users, making multi-tasking interaction on form-changing devices more intelligent and efficient.

[0184] According to embodiments of this disclosure, this disclosure also provides an electronic device, a readable storage medium, and a computer program product.
