It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0038] Currently, electronic devices can prevent accidental touches when in pocket mode. Therefore, accurately identifying when an electronic device is in pocket mode and thus effectively preventing accidental touches has become a pressing issue that needs to be addressed.

[0039] For example, when an infrared proximity sensor detects an external object approaching or moving away from an electronic device and determines it is in pocket mode based on the proximity detection result, an error in the proximity detection result may lead to misoperation of the electronic device, affecting user experience. For instance, if no external object is approaching or obstructing the electronic device, but the infrared proximity sensor misdetects an object approaching, it may mistakenly determine the device is in pocket mode and execute anti-mistouch operations, severely impacting normal user operation. Alternatively, when a black / dark object approaches or obstructs the electronic device, such as when the device is in a dark pocket, the proximity detection result should indicate an external object is approaching. However, due to the "black card effect," the infrared proximity sensor may fail to detect the object approaching or misdetect it moving away, leading to a misjudgment that the device is not in pocket mode and failing to execute the corresponding anti-mistouch operations in time. This can result in a chain of abnormal behaviors such as functional abnormalities and accidental screen touches. The "black card effect" refers to the absorption of infrared light emitted by the infrared proximity sensor by a black / dark object, preventing it from returning to the sensor and thus hindering proximity detection.

[0040] This application provides a method and apparatus for preventing accidental touches, a folding device, and a computer program product. It can determine the folding state of the folding device, including an unfolded state or a closed state. When the folding state is the target folding state, it determines whether the folding device is in pocket mode based on at least two of the following: proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data. If the folding device is in pocket mode, it performs an anti-accidental touch operation in pocket mode. The proximity detection results are determined by a proximity detection sensor, the ambient light data is collected by an ambient light sensor, and the pose data is collected by a pose sensor. This allows the folding device to more accurately determine whether it is in pocket mode by combining the proximity detection results from the proximity sensor, the ambient light data from the ambient light sensor, and the pose data collected by the pose sensor, thus improving the accuracy of pocket mode determination and enabling timely and precise anti-accidental touch measures for the folding device.

[0041] For example, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the system architecture of a folding device provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0043] Optionally, the folding device may also include a memory 130. The processor 110 and the memory 130 can communicate with each other via an internal connection to transfer data. The memory 130 stores computer programs, and the processor 110 retrieves and runs the computer programs from the memory 130. The processor 110 and the memory 130 can be combined into a single processing device, but more commonly they are independent components. The processor 110 executes the program code stored in the memory 130 to achieve the aforementioned functions. In specific implementations, the memory 130 can be integrated into the processor 110, or it can be independent of the processor 110.

Figure 2AThe figure 'a' shows the unfolded state of the folding device. In this unfolded state, a first display screen 22 can be provided on the front of the folding device.

[0051] Figure 2B This is a schematic diagram of a folding device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2B As shown, the folding device may include a second hinge assembly 24, which is laterally disposed in the folding device. Figure 2B Figure 'a' shows the unfolded state of the folding device.

Figure 2B As shown in b, during the bending process of the third display screen 25 via the second hinge assembly 24, the third display screen 25 can be divided into two parts.

[0052] It should be understood that the folding device shown in the above embodiments is merely exemplary. In addition, the folding device may also include multiple hinge components to achieve other folding effects, and this application does not limit this.

[0053] It should also be understood that the above Figure 2A The folding device shown can also be called a lateral folding device or a large folding device. Figure 2B The folding device shown can also be called a vertical folding device or a small folding device. Typically, in its unfolded state, the display screen area of ​​this horizontal folding device is larger than that of the vertical folding device.

[0054] Figure 2C This is a schematic diagram of a folding device 200 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2C As shown, the folding device 200 includes multiple sensors, such as a proximity detection sensor 201, an ambient light sensor 202, and a pose sensor 203.

[0055] The following combines 2A, 2B, 2C with... Figure 3 The method for preventing accidental touches provided in this application is described.

[0056] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart of an anti-accidental touch method 300 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the method 300 may include the following steps:

[0057] S301, determine the folding state corresponding to the folding device, which includes an unfolded state or a closed state.

[0058] In some embodiments, the folding device further includes an opening / closing sensor, which can be used to detect the opening / closing status of the folding device. Optionally, the opening / closing sensor may include, but is not limited to, one or more of a light sensor, a distance sensor, a Hall sensor, a strain sensor, etc.

[0059] The folding device can acquire the opening and closing detection result determined by the opening and closing sensor. The opening and closing detection result is used to indicate the opening and closing status of the foldable screen of the folding device, and the corresponding folding state of the folding device is determined based on the opening and closing detection result.

[0060] In one possible scenario, the opening / closing sensor may include a connection component and a detection component, so that the folding device can acquire the opening / closing detection results determined by the connection component and the detection component, such as different electrical signals, and determine the aforementioned folding state.

[0061] In another embodiment, the opening / closing sensor may include a mechanical switch and a detection circuit, so that the folding device can acquire the opening / closing detection result determined by the mechanical switch and the detection circuit, and determine the folding state.

[0062] For example, when the hinge in the folding device is opened or closed, it squeezes or releases a mechanical switch, generating different electrical signals to determine whether the folding device is in a folded or unfolded state.

[0063] Alternatively, the folding device can also determine the folding state through software, and this application does not limit this.

[0064] S302, acquire the proximity detection result determined by the proximity detection sensor, acquire the ambient light data collected by the ambient light sensor, and acquire the pose data collected by the pose sensor.

[0065] In some embodiments, the folding device may, in response to a trigger operation, acquire proximity detection results determined by a proximity detection sensor, acquire ambient light data collected by an ambient light sensor, and acquire pose data collected by a pose sensor.

[0066] In one possible scenario, the triggering operation could be an operation to turn on the foldable device. For example, a user could touch the power-on function component of the foldable device, so that the foldable device can respond to the touch operation of the power-on function button, obtain the aforementioned proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data, and realize the detection that the foldable device is in pocket mode, so as to perform timely and accurate anti-accidental touch operation on the foldable device.

[0067] In another possible scenario, the trigger operation could also be the activation of the proximity detection function of the foldable device. For example, the user can touch the proximity detection function component of the foldable device, so that the foldable device can respond to the touch operation of the proximity detection function component, obtain the proximity detection results, ambient light data and pose data, and realize the detection of being in pocket mode, so as to perform timely and accurate anti-mistouch operation on the foldable device and improve the user experience.

[0068] In other embodiments, the folding device may also acquire proximity detection results determined by a proximity detection sensor, ambient light data collected by an ambient light sensor, and pose data collected by a pose sensor when it is determined to be in a preset mode.

[0069] In one possible scenario, the foldable device includes a sleep mode and a non-sleep mode. In sleep mode, the probability of user use is low; for example, users rarely use the foldable device during nighttime sleep, and the probability of placing it in a pocket and / or bag is also low. In non-sleep mode, the probability of user use is high; for example, during non-nighttime sleep, users can carry the foldable device in a pocket or other means and use it for work or entertainment.

[0070] For example, if it is determined that the foldable device is in sleep mode, it can be inferred that the probability of the user using the foldable device is low, and the probability of accidental touch on the foldable device's screen is also correspondingly low. Therefore, in the current mode where the need for preventing accidental touches is not high, the operation of obtaining the aforementioned proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data can be omitted to reduce additional power consumption. Alternatively, if it is determined that the foldable device is in non-sleep mode, it can be inferred that the user is using the foldable device and carrying it in a pocket or other means, and the probability of accidental touch on the foldable device's screen is high. Therefore, in the current mode where the need for preventing accidental touches is high, the foldable device can be triggered to obtain the aforementioned proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data to detect that the foldable device is in pocket mode, and to perform anti-accidental touch operations on the foldable device in a timely manner, reducing the probability of accidental touch on the foldable device's display screen and improving the user experience.

[0071] In some embodiments, the foldable device may further include a call mode and a non-call mode. In call mode, the user typically uses the foldable device close to their head or ear. Conversely, in non-call mode, the user uses the foldable device away from their head or ear.

[0072] For example, when it is determined that the foldable device is in call mode, since the user's head or ear is usually close to the foldable device, the probability of the foldable device being in a pocket and / or bag is low. Therefore, in the current mode, the foldable device can be prevented from acquiring the aforementioned proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data to avoid performing pocket mode detection and reduce additional power consumption. Alternatively, when it is determined that the foldable device is in non-call mode, since the probability of the user's head or ear touching the foldable device is low, the probability of placing the foldable device in a pocket and / or bag is high. Therefore, in the current mode, the foldable device can be triggered to perform the aforementioned operation of acquiring the aforementioned proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data to detect that the foldable device is in pocket mode and to perform anti-mistouch operations on the foldable device in a timely and accurate manner to reduce the probability of accidental touches on the foldable device's display screen and improve the user experience.

[0073] It should be understood that the preset modes shown above are merely exemplary. In addition, other specific modes may be used to trigger the above operations in different modes and achieve anti-accidental touch in different modes. This application does not limit this.

[0074] In other embodiments, the folding device may also acquire proximity detection results determined by a proximity detection sensor, ambient light data collected by an ambient light sensor, and pose data collected by a pose sensor, when it is determined to be in a target folding state.

[0075] It should be understood that the display screen that functions correctly differs depending on the folding state of the folding device. In other words, different folding states correspond to different working screens, enabling the folding device to prevent accidental touches on the working screen corresponding to the specific folding state even when in pocket mode.

[0076] For example, in conjunction with the above Figure 2A When the target is in a folded state Figure 2A The 'c' in the figure indicates the closed state of the folding device, which can detect the state described above. Figure 2A In the closed state shown by c, the aforementioned proximity detection results and data are acquired to perform an anti-accidental touch operation when the folding device is detected to be in pocket mode, thereby reducing the probability of accidental touches on the second display screen 23 corresponding to the closed state of the folding device. Alternatively, in combination with the above... Figure 2B When the target is in a folded state Figure 2B The 'a' in the diagram shows the unfolded state of the folding device, which can be activated when the aforementioned state is detected. Figure 2B In the unfolded state shown in Figure 'a', proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data collected by the pose sensor are acquired. When the folding device is detected to be in pocket mode, an anti-mistouch operation is performed to reduce the probability of accidental touches on the third display screen 25 corresponding to the unfolded state of the folding device. Alternatively, when the target folded state is... Figure 2B The 'c' in the figure indicates the closed state of the folding device, which can detect the state described above. Figure 2B In the case of the 'c' indicating the closed state, the above proximity detection results and data are obtained to perform an anti-accidental touch operation when the folding device is detected to be in pocket mode, thereby reducing the probability of accidental touch on the fourth display screen 26 corresponding to the closed state of the folding device.

[0077] In some embodiments, the target folding state may be a factory preset, or it may be manually set by the user based on their own usage needs. This application does not limit this.

[0078] Optionally, the folding device can also acquire the aforementioned proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data upon receiving a preset command, and detect whether the folding device is in pocket mode, so as to perform timely and accurate anti-mistouch operations on the folding device. This application does not limit the scope of the preset command to something such as a voice command to prevent accidental touches.

[0079] In some embodiments, the folding device can acquire in real time the proximity detection result determined by the proximity detection sensor, the ambient light data collected by the ambient light sensor, and the pose data collected by the pose sensor.

[0080] In other embodiments, the folding device may also periodically acquire proximity detection results determined by the proximity detection sensor, acquire ambient light data collected by the ambient light sensor, and acquire pose data collected by the pose sensor.

[0081] In some embodiments, the proximity detection sensor 201 described above may include an ultrasonic sensor that achieves proximity detection based on ultrasound. That is, the ultrasonic sensor can detect the distance between an external object and the folding device by emitting ultrasonic signals and listening to their echoes.

[0082] For example, an ultrasonic sensor includes an ultrasonic transmitter and an ultrasonic receiver. The ultrasonic transmitter can be used to transmit ultrasonic signals, and the ultrasonic receiver can be used to receive reflected signals of the ultrasonic signals, so that the ultrasonic sensor can determine proximity detection results based on the transmission time between the ultrasonic signals and the reflected signals, for acquisition and application by folding devices.

[0083] In one possible scenario, the proximity detection result includes distance information, which characterizes the distance between the external object and the folding device. The smaller the distance information, the closer the external object is to the folding device.

[0084] For example, different signal intensities of ultrasonic signals can correspond to different distances (such as a second correspondence). Therefore, the ultrasonic sensor can determine a proximity detection result including distance information based on the signal intensity of the ultrasonic signal received by the ultrasonic receiver and the aforementioned second correspondence, for the folding device to acquire and apply. For instance, if the distance information is less than a first distance threshold, the proximity detection result indicates that an external object is approaching the folding device; or, if the distance information is greater than or equal to a second distance threshold, the proximity detection result indicates that an external object is moving away from the folding device, where the second distance threshold is greater than or equal to the first distance threshold.

[0085] In one possible scenario, the proximity detection result includes ultrasonic signal strength information, which characterizes the distance between the external object and the folding device. The higher the ultrasonic signal strength, the closer the external object is to the folding device.

[0086] For example, if the signal strength information of the ultrasonic signal is greater than the first ultrasonic signal threshold, the proximity detection result indicates that an external object is approaching the folding device; or, if the signal strength information of the ultrasonic signal is less than or equal to the second ultrasonic signal threshold, the proximity detection result indicates that an external object is moving away from the folding device, wherein the first ultrasonic signal threshold is greater than or equal to the second ultrasonic signal threshold.

[0087] Optionally, the proximity detection result may also include information about the distance between the external object and the folding device. Such as "far away" or "near", or "1" (indicating far away) or "0" (indicating near), which can characterize information about the external object moving away from or near the folding device, so that the folding device can know the distance between the external object and the folding device without any data processing when it obtains the proximity detection result.

[0088] In some embodiments, the proximity detection sensor 201 described above may include a photoelectric proximity sensor that detects proximity based on a light beam. When an external object blocks the light beam, the photosensitive element in the photoelectric proximity sensor detects the change in light intensity to detect the approach of the external object to the folding device.

[0089] For example, the photoelectric proximity sensor can be an infrared proximity sensor, which may include an infrared emitter and an infrared receiver. The infrared emitter can emit infrared light signals, and when the infrared light signals encounter an external object, part of the infrared light signals are reflected and received by the infrared receiver. The proximity detection sensor can determine the proximity detection result by the received infrared light signals, so that the folding device can acquire and apply it.

[0090] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the proximity detection of an infrared proximity sensor provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal axis represents distance, which is the distance measured when the infrared proximity sensor detects an approaching external object. The vertical axis represents the infrared light intensity value (PS value), which characterizes the signal strength of the infrared light signal detected by the infrared proximity sensor after being reflected back from an external object. When there is no external object in front of the infrared proximity sensor, the PS value is low (e.g., close to 0), while when an external object approaches and blocks the infrared proximity sensor, the PS value is high (e.g., close to 2047).

[0091] In one possible scenario, the proximity detection result may include infrared light signal strength information, which characterizes the distance between the external object and the folding device. Specifically, the higher the infrared light signal strength, the closer the external object is to the folding device. Figure 4As shown, a proximity threshold (such as a first infrared light signal threshold) and a distance threshold (such as a second infrared light signal threshold) are set. When the signal strength information of the infrared light signal is greater than the first infrared light signal threshold, the signal strength information of the infrared light signal can indicate that an external object is approaching the folding device; or, when the signal strength information of the infrared light signal is less than or equal to the second infrared light signal threshold, the signal strength information of the infrared light signal can also indicate that an external object is moving away from the folding device, wherein the first infrared light signal threshold is greater than or equal to the second infrared light signal threshold.

[0092] In another possible scenario, the proximity detection result includes distance information, which characterizes the distance between the external object and the folding device. The smaller the distance, the closer the external object is to the folding device. For example... Figure 4 As shown, different signal intensities of infrared light signals can correspond to different distances (such as the first correspondence). Therefore, the infrared proximity sensor can determine the proximity detection result, including distance, based on the signal intensity of the infrared light signal received by the infrared light receiver and the aforementioned first correspondence, for the folding device to acquire and apply. For example, if the distance information is less than a third distance threshold, the proximity detection result indicates that an external object is approaching the folding device; or, if the distance information is greater than or equal to a fourth distance threshold, the proximity detection result indicates that an external object is moving away from the folding device, where the fourth distance threshold is greater than or equal to the third distance threshold.

[0093] It should be understood that during the actual proximity detection process of infrared proximity sensors, environmental factors in the actual application can also be considered, and adjustments can be made through corresponding design and algorithms to improve the performance and reliability of the infrared proximity sensors. For example, such as... Figure 4 The terms "gray card," "black card," and "oil stain" shown refer to environmental factors encountered by infrared proximity sensors in practical applications. A gray card typically refers to an object with moderate reflectivity. Its role in infrared proximity sensors is to provide a baseline reflectivity for calibration. In other words, because the reflectivity of a gray card is neither particularly high nor particularly low, it serves as a reference point, helping the infrared proximity sensor maintain consistent performance in different environments. A black card refers to an object with very low reflectivity, such as black hair or a black surface. Since black objects absorb infrared light rather than reflect it, this can reduce the signal received by the infrared receiver of the proximity sensor, thus affecting its performance. Oil stains typically refer to grease accumulated on or near the surface of the infrared proximity sensor. This grease can interfere with the infrared light emitted by the sensor, leading to false alarms. For example, grease may absorb or scatter infrared light, causing the proximity sensor to perceive an approaching object, even when no object is actually present.

[0094] Optionally, the proximity detection result may also include information about the distance between the external object and the folding device. For example, "far away" or "near," "1" (indicating far away) or "0" (indicating near) can indicate whether the external object is far away from or near the folding device, so that the folding device can know the distance between the external object and the folding device without any data processing upon obtaining the proximity detection result.

[0095] It should be understood that the proximity detection sensor 201 shown in the above embodiments is merely exemplary. In addition, the proximity detection sensor 201 may also be used in various other proximity detection sensors, such as inductive proximity sensors, capacitive proximity sensors, magnetic proximity sensors, and thermoelectric proximity sensors, depending on the specific application scenario. This application does not limit the types of proximity sensors used.

[0096] In some embodiments, the ambient light sensor 202 may include a photoresistor. This photoresistor is a resistor made of semiconductor material whose resistance changes with light intensity. When light intensity increases, the resistance decreases; conversely, when light intensity decreases, the resistance increases. Therefore, by measuring the change in the resistance of the resistor, ambient light data can be indirectly detected or acquired.

[0097] In some embodiments, the ambient light sensor 202 may include a photodiode. The photodiode is a semiconductor device that generates a photocurrent when light shines on its photosensitive area. The greater the light intensity, the greater the current generated; therefore, ambient light data can be detected or acquired by measuring the current across the photodiode.

[0098] It should be understood that the ambient light sensor 202 shown in the above embodiments is merely exemplary. In addition, the ambient light sensor 202 can also be used in various other ambient light sensors depending on the specific application scenario, and this application does not limit it.

[0099] In some embodiments, the pose sensor 203 may include an attitude sensor for acquiring attitude data of the folding device, the pose data including attitude data, so that the folding device can determine the device attitude.

[0100] In one possible scenario, the attitude sensor may include an accelerometer and / or an angular velocity sensor, and the attitude data may include acceleration data and / or angular velocity data. The accelerometer can determine the degree of tilt of an object by utilizing the inertial force generated when a point mass is affected by gravitational acceleration. The angular velocity sensor can be designed based on the law of conservation of angular momentum, determining its rotational state by detecting the angular velocities generated when the object rotates around three axes.

[0101] In some embodiments, the pose sensor 203 may include a motion sensor for acquiring motion data of the folding device, the pose data including motion data, to enable the folding device to determine a motion state, the motion state including a moving state or a non-moving state.

[0102] S303, if the above-mentioned folding state is the target folding state, determine whether the above-mentioned folding device is in pocket mode based on at least two of the proximity detection result, ambient light data and pose data.

[0103] In some embodiments, the target folding state here can be the target folding state shown in S302 above. That is, the folding device corresponds to different working screens in different folding states, so that the folding device can achieve the anti-mistouch effect on the working screen corresponding to the target folding state when it is in pocket mode.

[0104] The target folding state refers to a state in which the folding device is more likely to be in pocket mode. Pocket mode refers to a state in which the folding device is placed in a relatively small space such as a pocket or bag, which is prone to accidental touch.

[0105] For example, in combination with the above Figure 2A The folding device shown indicates that, when the folding device is in the above-mentioned position... Figure 2A In the closed state indicated by 'c', the folding device is small in size, so it is highly likely to be in pocket mode, and the target folding state can be the closed state. Therefore, when the target folding state is the closed state of the folding device, if the folding device detects that it is in the closed state, it can determine whether the folding device is in pocket mode based on at least two of the proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data, and perform anti-mistouch operation when the folding device is detected to be in pocket mode. In other words, when the folding device is in the closed state (i.e., small in size) and has a high probability of being in pocket mode, the proximity detection results and data can be used for verification to accurately determine the pocket mode, thereby reducing the probability of accidental touch on the display screen corresponding to the closed state of the folding device. Correspondingly, when the folding device is in the above-mentioned closed state... Figure 2A In the unfolded state shown in 'a', the folding device is large and difficult to store in a user's pocket, so there is a high probability that it is not in pocket mode. Therefore, the target folded state may not include the unfolded state, so that in the unfolded state, the acquisition of the above proximity detection results and data and the execution of anti-accidental touch operation are not triggered, thereby reducing power consumption.

[0106] For example, in combination with the above Figure 2B The folding device shown indicates that, when the folding device is in the above-mentioned position... Figure 2B The expansion state shown by 'a' in the figure is the same as... Figure 2B In the closed state shown by 'c', the folding device is relatively small, so it is highly likely to be in pocket mode. Therefore, the target folding state can be closed and / or unfolded. Thus, when the target folding state is the closed or unfolded state of the folding device, if the folding device is detected to be in either a closed or unfolded state, it can be determined whether the folding device is in pocket mode based on at least two of the proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data. In this case, if the folding device is detected to be in pocket mode, an anti-accidental touch operation can be performed. In other words, when the folding device is small and has a high probability of being in pocket mode, the proximity detection results and data can be used for verification to accurately determine the pocket mode, thereby reducing the probability of accidental touches on the display screen corresponding to the closed state of the folding device.

[0107] It should be understood that the target state shown herein is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0108] Ambient light data is used to indicate or characterize the brightness information of the environment in which the folding device is located; pose data is used to indicate or characterize the device posture and motion state of the folding device; and proximity detection results are used to indicate or characterize the approach or departure of external objects from the folding device.

[0109] In some embodiments, the external object may include at least one object other than the folding device that can function as a touch device.

[0110] For example, the external object may include a part of the user's body, such as a hand. The external object may also include non-body parts, such as the inner wall of a user's pocket or bag, or other objects stored in the pocket or bag, such as keys, clothing, or other electronic devices that can be touched.

[0111] It should be understood that the external objects shown above are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0112] In some embodiments, the folding device can determine whether it is in pocket mode based on proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data.

[0113] For example, when a foldable device is stored in a pocket or bag, the brightness inside is usually low because pockets or bags are typically small, fully or partially enclosed spaces. Furthermore, the probability of external objects approaching or obstructing the view is high, such as the inner wall of the pocket or bag being close to the foldable device, or other objects placed in the pocket or bag being close to or touching the foldable device. In addition, when a foldable device is stored in a pocket or bag, its stored posture often differs from the posture corresponding to normal user use. For example, after holding the foldable device, the user may store it in an inverted position in the pocket, resulting in the foldable device typically remaining in an abnormal usage posture. Even when a foldable device is stored in a pocket or bag, the probability of the foldable device moving due to user displacement is relatively high. Therefore, when the folding device is in a state where it is highly likely to be in pocket mode (target folding state), if the proximity detection result indicates that an external object is approaching the folding device, and the ambient light data identifies that the folding device is in a dark environment (e.g., the ambient light data is less than or equal to the first ambient light threshold), and the pose data identifies that the folding device is in an inverted posture and / or is in motion, then it can be verified that the folding device is in pocket mode.

[0114] In some embodiments, the folding device can also determine whether it is in pocket mode based on two of the following: proximity detection result, ambient light data, and pose data (such as the results). That is, the folding device is determined to be in pocket mode by cross-validating any two of the proximity detection result, ambient light data, and pose data.

[0115] For example, when a foldable device is in a state where it is highly likely to be in pocket mode (target folded state), the proximity detection result and ambient light data can be used to verify whether the foldable device is truly in pocket mode. Specifically, if the proximity detection result indicates an external object is approaching the foldable device, and the ambient light data identifies the foldable device as being in a dark environment, both are consistent with the proximity detection result and ambient brightness conditions in a scenario where the foldable device is stored in a pocket or bag. Therefore, it can be deduced that the probability of the proximity detection result and / or ambient light data being incorrect is low. In other words, in addition to verifying whether the foldable device is in pocket mode using the proximity detection result and ambient light data, the proximity detection result and ambient light data can also be mutually verified to achieve efficient and accurate judgment of the foldable device's pocket mode and promptly perform anti-mistouch operations on the foldable device, such as not responding to touch operations detected in pocket mode, thus reducing the probability of accidental touches on the foldable device's display screen.

[0116] Similarly, when the foldable device is in a state where it is highly likely to be in pocket mode (target folded state), if proximity detection indicates that an external object is approaching the foldable device, or if the foldable device is identified as being in an inverted position and / or in motion based on pose data, it can also be determined that the foldable device is in pocket mode, and anti-mistouch operations can be performed on the foldable device in a timely manner. Alternatively, when the foldable device is in a state where it is highly likely to be in pocket mode (target folded state), if the foldable device is identified as being in a dark environment based on ambient light data, or if the foldable device is identified as being in an inverted position and / or in motion based on pose data, it can also be determined that the foldable device is in pocket mode, and anti-mistouch operations can be performed in a timely manner to reduce the probability of accidental touches on the foldable device's display screen.

[0117] S304, when the folding device is in pocket mode, perform the anti-accidental touch operation in pocket mode.

[0118] In some embodiments, when the folding device is in pocket mode, touch operations detected in pocket mode may not be responded to, thereby reducing the probability of accidental touches on the display screen of the folding device.

[0119] For example, when the folding device is in pocket mode, it can be inferred that there is a high probability that an external object (such as the inner wall of the pocket or other objects in the pocket) is close to the folding device. Therefore, the screen state of the folding device can be controlled to not respond to the touch operation detected in pocket mode, so as to avoid accidental touches on the display screen of the folding device by the inner wall of the pocket or other objects in the pocket.

[0120] In some embodiments, when the folding device is in pocket mode, the display screen of the folding device can be controlled to be in an off state to reduce the probability of accidental touch on the display screen of the folding device.

[0121] For example, when the folding device is in pocket mode, it can be inferred that there is a high probability that an external object (such as the inner wall of the pocket or other objects in the pocket) will approach the folding device. Therefore, the screen state of the folding device can be controlled to be off to avoid accidental touches on the display screen of the folding device in the on state caused by the inner wall of the pocket or other objects in the pocket.

[0122] Optionally, when the folding device is in pocket mode, it can also output a prompt message to prevent accidental touches, such as through vibration, to inform the user of the current accidental touch prevention status.

[0123] In this application, the folding state of a folding device can be determined, including an unfolded state or a closed state. When the folding state is the target folding state, it is determined whether the folding device is in pocket mode based on at least two of the following: proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data. If the folding device is in pocket mode, an anti-mistouch operation in pocket mode is performed. The proximity detection results are determined by a proximity detection sensor, the ambient light data is collected by an ambient light sensor, and the pose data is collected by a pose sensor. This allows the folding device to more accurately determine whether it is in pocket mode in the target folding state by combining the proximity detection results from the proximity sensor, the ambient light data from the ambient light sensor, and the pose data collected by the pose sensor. This improves the accuracy of pocket mode determination and also enables timely and precise anti-mistouch operation of the folding device.

[0124] In some embodiments, the pose sensor includes an attitude sensor, and correspondingly, the pose data includes attitude data. The folding device can identify the device attitude based on the pose data, and determine whether the folding device is in pocket mode by using at least two of the above-mentioned proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data (attitude data), so as to perform the corresponding anti-accidental touch operation in a timely manner when it is in pocket mode.

[0125] Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart of an anti-accidental touch method 500 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 As shown, the method 500 may include the following steps:

[0126] S501, determine the folding state corresponding to the folding device, which includes an unfolded state or a closed state.

[0127] S502, acquire the proximity detection result determined by the proximity detection sensor, acquire the ambient light data collected by the ambient light sensor, and acquire the pose data collected by the pose sensor.

[0128] S503, when the above-mentioned folding state is the target folding state, the device posture of the folding device is determined based on the pose data.

[0129] S504, determine whether the proximity detection result, ambient light data and device posture meet the first condition; the first condition includes the proximity detection result indicating that an external object is approaching the folding device, the ambient light data being less than or equal to a first ambient light threshold, and the device posture being an inverted posture.

[0130] The inverted state can be the posture resulting from the user holding and using the foldable device.

[0131] For example, the folding device includes a first edge and a second edge that are parallel to each other, and a third edge and a fourth edge that are parallel to each other. When a user holds and uses the folding device, the first edge is higher than the second edge in the vertical space, and the third and fourth edges are in contact with the user's hand. Correspondingly, when the folding device is in an inverted position, the first edge may be lower than or equal to the second edge in the vertical space.

[0132] S505, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data and device posture meet the first condition, then the folding device is determined to be in pocket mode.

[0133] S506 performs anti-accidental touch operation in pocket mode.

[0134] Optionally, following the above S504, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data and device attitude do not meet the first condition, then S507 can also be executed.

[0135] S507, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data and device posture determine that the third condition is met, then the folding device is determined to be in non-pocket mode; the third condition includes the proximity detection result indicating that the external object is away from the folding device, the ambient light data being greater than the second ambient light threshold (such as a bright environment), and / or the device posture being a non-inverted posture.

[0136] In this embodiment, the folding device can determine whether it is in pocket mode based on at least two of the proximity detection results, ambient light data, and device posture. That is, the folding device can flexibly identify its posture based on this pose data, achieving highly flexible determination of the pocket mode and promptly executing corresponding anti-mistouch operations by using at least two of the proximity detection results, ambient light data, and device posture.

[0137] In some embodiments, the pose sensor includes a motion sensor, and correspondingly, the pose data includes motion data. The folding device can identify the motion state of the folding device based on the pose data, and determine whether the folding device is in pocket mode by using at least two of the above-mentioned proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data (motion data), so as to perform the corresponding anti-accidental touch operation in a timely manner when it is in pocket mode.

[0138] Figure 6 This is a schematic flowchart of an anti-accidental touch method 600 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 As shown, the method 600 may include the following steps:

[0139] S601, determine the folding state corresponding to the folding device, which includes an unfolded state or a closed state.

[0140] S602, acquire the proximity detection result determined by the proximity detection sensor, acquire the ambient light data collected by the ambient light sensor, and acquire the pose data collected by the pose sensor.

[0141] S603, when the folding state is the target folding state, the motion state of the folding device is determined based on the pose data, and the motion state includes a moving state or a non-moving state.

[0142] S604, determine whether the proximity detection result, ambient light data and motion state meet the second condition; the second condition includes the proximity detection result indicating that an external object is approaching the folding device, the ambient light data being less than or equal to the first ambient light threshold, and the motion state being in motion.

[0143] S605, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data and motion state meet the second condition, then the folding device is determined to be in pocket mode.

[0144] S606 performs anti-mistouch operation in pocket mode.

[0145] Optionally, following S604 above, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data and motion state do not meet the second condition, S607 can also be executed.

[0146] S607, if the proximity detection result indicates that an external object is moving away from the folding device, then the folding device is determined to be in non-pocket mode.

[0147] In this embodiment, the folding device can also determine whether it is in pocket mode based on at least two of the proximity detection results, ambient light data, and motion state. That is, the folding device can flexibly identify its motion state based on this pose data, achieving highly flexible judgment of the pocket mode and timely execution of corresponding anti-mistouch operations by using at least two of the proximity detection results, ambient light data, and motion state.

[0148] In some embodiments, the pose sensor may further include an attitude sensor and a motion sensor, and correspondingly, the pose data includes motion data and attitude data. The folding device can identify the motion state and device attitude of the folding device based on the pose data, and determine whether the folding device is in pocket mode by using at least two of the above-mentioned proximity detection results, ambient light data and pose data (motion data and attitude data), so as to perform the corresponding anti-accidental touch operation in a timely manner when it is in pocket mode.

[0149] Figure 7 This is a schematic flowchart of an anti-accidental touch method 700 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7As shown, the method 700 may include the following steps:

[0150] S701, determine the folding state corresponding to the folding device, which includes an unfolded state or a closed state.

[0151] S702, acquire the proximity detection result determined by the proximity detection sensor, acquire the ambient light data collected by the ambient light sensor, and acquire the pose data collected by the pose sensor.

[0152] S703, when the above-mentioned folding state is the target folding state, the device posture of the folding device is determined based on the pose data.

[0153] S704, determine whether the proximity detection result, ambient light data and device posture meet the first condition; the first condition includes the proximity detection result indicating that an external object is approaching the folding device, the ambient light data being less than or equal to a first ambient light threshold, and the device posture being an inverted posture.

[0154] S705, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data and device posture meet the first condition, then the folding device is determined to be in pocket mode, and the anti-accidental touch operation in pocket mode is performed.

[0155] Optionally, following step S704 above, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data, and device posture do not meet the first condition, the following steps may also be performed:

[0156] S706, determine the motion state of the folding device based on the pose data, the motion state including a moving state or a non-moving state.

[0157] S707, determine whether the proximity detection result, ambient light data and motion state meet the second condition; the second condition includes the proximity detection result indicating that an external object is approaching the folding device, the ambient light data being less than or equal to a first ambient light threshold, and the motion state being in motion.

[0158] If the proximity detection results, ambient light data, and motion state meet the second condition, then the folding device is determined to be in pocket mode, i.e., S705 shown in the figure.

[0159] Optionally, following the above S707, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data and the device attitude do not meet the second condition, then S708 can also be executed.

[0160] S708, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data and device posture determine that the third condition is met, then the folding device is determined to be in non-pocket mode; the third condition includes the proximity detection result indicating that the external object is away from the folding device, the ambient light data being greater than the second ambient light threshold, and / or the device posture being a non-inverted posture.

[0161] In this embodiment, the folding device can determine whether it is in pocket mode based on at least two of the proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data recognition results (device posture and motion state). That is, the folding device can flexibly recognize its posture and motion state based on this pose data, achieving highly flexible and accurate determination of the folding device's pocket mode through at least two of the proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data recognition results (device posture and motion state), and promptly executing corresponding anti-accidental touch operations.

[0162] In some embodiments, different types of folding devices correspond to different target folding states.

[0163] In some embodiments, the folding device includes a lateral folding device (see, for example) Figure 2A The lateral folding device includes a first hinge assembly arranged vertically, and the target folding state includes the closed state of the lateral folding device.

[0164] In a first possible implementation, if the folding device is determined to be a horizontally folding device and is in a closed state, it can be determined whether the horizontally folding device is in pocket mode based on the first condition mentioned above. That is, if the folding device is a horizontally folding device and is in a closed state, it can be determined that the device posture is identified based on the aforementioned posture data, and whether it is in pocket mode is determined based on at least two of the aforementioned proximity detection results, ambient light data, and the device posture.

[0165] In the second possible implementation, if it is determined that the folding device is a horizontally folding device and is in a closed state, it can also be determined whether the horizontally folding device is in pocket mode based on the second condition mentioned above. That is, if the folding device is a horizontally folding device and is in a closed state, it can be determined that the motion state is identified based on the above-mentioned posture data, and whether it is in pocket mode is determined based on at least two of the above-mentioned proximity detection results, ambient light data, and the motion state.

[0166] In a third possible implementation, if the folding device is determined to be a horizontally folding device and is in a closed state, it can also be determined whether the horizontally folding device is in pocket mode based on the first and second conditions mentioned above. That is, if the folding device is a horizontally folding device and is in a closed state, it can be determined whether it is in pocket mode based on at least two of the motion state and device posture recognition results (motion state and device posture) based on the aforementioned posture data, proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data recognition results.

[0167] Figure 8 This is a schematic flowchart of an anti-accidental touch method 800 for a horizontally folding device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 8 As shown, the method 800 may include the following steps:

[0168] S801, determine the folding state corresponding to the lateral folding device, which includes an unfolded state or a closed state.

[0169] S802, acquire the proximity detection result determined by the proximity detection sensor, acquire the ambient light data collected by the ambient light sensor, and acquire the pose data collected by the pose sensor.

[0170] S803 determines whether the horizontal folding device is in a closed state.

[0171] S804 determines the device posture of the folding device based on the pose data when the folding device is in a closed state.

[0172] S805, determine whether the proximity detection result, ambient light data and device posture meet the first condition; the first condition includes the proximity detection result indicating that an external object is approaching the horizontally folding device, the ambient light data being less than or equal to a first ambient light threshold, and the device posture being an inverted posture.

[0173] S806, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data and device posture meet the first condition, then determine that the horizontally folding device is in pocket mode and perform the anti-accidental touch operation in pocket mode.

[0174] Optionally, following step S805 above, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data, and device attitude do not meet the first condition, the following steps may also be performed:

[0175] S807, determine the motion state of the lateral folding device based on the pose data, the motion state including a moving state or a non-moving state.

[0176] S808, determine whether the proximity detection result, ambient light data and motion state meet the second condition; the second condition includes the proximity detection result indicating that an external object is approaching the horizontally folding device, the ambient light data being less than or equal to the first ambient light threshold, and the motion state being in motion.

[0177] If the proximity detection results, ambient light data and motion state meet the second condition, then the horizontally folding device is determined to be in pocket mode, and the anti-accidental touch operation in pocket mode is executed, i.e., S806.

[0178] Optionally, following the above S808, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data and device posture do not meet the second condition, then S809 can also be executed.

[0179] S809, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data and device posture determine that the third condition is met, then the horizontally folding device is determined to be in non-pocket mode; the third condition includes the proximity detection result indicating that the external object is away from the horizontally folding device, the ambient light data being greater than the second ambient light threshold, and / or the device posture being a non-inverted posture.

[0180] Optionally, following the above S803, if the lateral folding device is not in the closed state (i.e., in the unfolded state), S810 can also be executed.

[0181] S810, if the lateral folding device is not in a closed state, determine that the lateral folding device is in a non-pocket mode.

[0182] Optionally, following the above-described S810, when the folding state of the horizontal folding device switches from the closed state to the unfolded state, S811 can also be executed to turn off at least one of the ambient light sensor and the pose sensor to reduce power consumption.

[0183] In this embodiment, the horizontally folding device can determine the pocket pattern of the vertically folding device based on proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data recognition results when it is in a closed state. The pose data recognition results can include the device's posture and / or motion state. Therefore, while flexibly determining the pocket pattern of the vertically folding device, it also improves the accuracy of pocket pattern determination, thereby enhancing the timeliness and accuracy of performing anti-accidental touch operations on the horizontally folding device.

[0184] In another possible scenario, the folding device includes a longitudinal folding device (see [reference needed]). Figure 2B The longitudinal folding device includes a second hinge assembly arranged laterally, and the target folding state is the unfolded state or the closed state of the longitudinal folding device.

[0185] In one possible implementation, when it is determined that the folding device is a vertically folding device and is in an unfolded state, the vertically folding device can also determine whether it is in pocket mode based on the first condition and / or the second condition mentioned above. That is, when the folding device is a vertically folding device and is in an unfolded state, it can be determined whether it is in pocket mode based on at least two of the motion state and / or device posture recognition results (motion state and / or device posture) based on the proximity detection result, ambient light data, and pose data recognition results.

[0186] In another possible implementation, if the folding device is determined to be a longitudinally folding device and is in a closed state, it can also be determined whether the longitudinally folding device is in pocket mode based on the second condition mentioned above. That is, if the folding device is a longitudinally folding device and is in a closed state, it can be determined that the motion state is identified based on the above-mentioned posture data, and whether it is in pocket mode is determined based on at least two of the above-mentioned proximity detection results, ambient light data, and motion state.

[0187] Figure 9 This is a schematic flowchart of a method 900 for preventing accidental touches on a longitudinally folding device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 As shown, the method 900 may include the following steps:

[0188] S901, determine the folding state corresponding to the longitudinal folding device, which includes an unfolded state or a closed state.

[0189] S902, acquire the proximity detection result determined by the proximity detection sensor, acquire the ambient light data collected by the ambient light sensor, and acquire the pose data collected by the pose sensor.

[0190] S903, determine whether the longitudinal folding device is in a closed state.

[0191] S904, when the longitudinal folding device is in a closed state, the motion state of the folding device is determined based on the pose data, and the motion state includes a moving state or a non-moving state.

[0192] S905, determine whether the proximity detection result, ambient light data and motion state meet the second condition; the second condition includes the proximity detection result indicating that an external object is approaching the longitudinal folding device, the ambient light data being less than or equal to the first ambient light threshold, and the motion state being in motion.

[0193] S906, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data and motion state meet the second condition, then the longitudinally folding device is determined to be in pocket mode, and the anti-accidental touch operation in pocket mode is performed.

[0194] Optionally, following the above S905, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data and motion state do not meet the second condition, then S907 can also be executed.

[0195] S907, if the aforementioned proximity detection result indicates that an external object is moving away from the longitudinal folding device, then it is determined that the longitudinal folding device is in non-pocket mode.

[0196] Optionally, following the above S903, if the longitudinal folding device is not in the closed state (i.e., in the unfolded state), S908 can also be executed.

[0197] S908, when the longitudinally folding device is in the unfolded state, the device posture of the longitudinally folding device is determined based on the pose data.

[0198] S909, determine whether the proximity detection result, ambient light data and device posture meet the first condition; the first condition includes the proximity detection result indicating that an external object is approaching the longitudinally folding device, the ambient light data being less than or equal to a first ambient light threshold, and the device posture being an inverted posture.

[0199] If the proximity detection results, ambient light data and device posture meet the first condition, then the longitudinally folding device is determined to be in pocket mode, and the anti-accidental touch operation in pocket mode is performed, i.e., the above-mentioned S906.

[0200] Optionally, following S908 above, if the proximity detection result, ambient light data, and device posture do not meet the first condition, the system can also determine whether the vertically folding device is in pocket mode based on the second condition. The specific steps are similar to those of S904 to S907 above. For example, the system determines the motion state of the vertically folding device based on the pose data, and determines whether the proximity detection result, ambient light data, and motion state meet the second condition. If the proximity detection result, ambient light data, and motion state meet the second condition, the system determines that the vertically folding device is in pocket mode and performs the anti-mistouch operation in pocket mode. Alternatively, if the system determines that the third condition is met based on the proximity detection result, ambient light data, and device posture, the system determines that the vertically folding device is in non-pocket mode. To avoid repetition, these steps will not be elaborated here.

[0201] In this embodiment, the longitudinally folding device can flexibly determine its pocket mode based on proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data recognition results (device posture and / or motion state) when in the unfolded state. The longitudinally folding device can also determine whether it is in pocket mode based on proximity detection results, ambient light data, and motion state, avoiding the problem of difficulty or inability to recognize inverted postures when the longitudinally folding device is in the closed state, further improving the flexibility of pocket mode determination.

The ultrasonic transmitting unit includes an earpiece 1111, and the ultrasonic receiving unit includes a microphone 1112, enabling the transmission and reception of ultrasonic signals based solely on the existing audio hardware and software algorithms within the folding device, without requiring additional hardware sensors. For example, the ultrasonic sensor 1011 can transmit ultrasonic signals through the earpiece 1111, receive the reflected signal of the ultrasonic signal through the microphone 1112, and determine the proximity detection result based on the transmission time between the ultrasonic signal and the reflected signal, for acquisition and application by the folding device. Figure 10 As shown, the pose sensor 1002 includes a posture sensor 1021 and / or a motion sensor 1022. The posture sensor 1021 includes an accelerometer sensor 1211 and a gyroscope sensor 1212.

See details below. Figure 11 .

[0204] Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the method for preventing accidental touches provided in this application. Figure 11As shown, the earpiece 1111 in the ultrasonic sensor 1011 can emit ultrasonic signals, and the microphone 1112 can receive the ultrasonic signals, i.e., the reflected signals of the ultrasonic signals. Based on the transmission time between the ultrasonic signals and the reflected signals, the proximity detection result, such as distance information, is obtained. Alternatively, the proximity detection result can also be determined by the infrared proximity sensor 1012 (not shown in the figure). For details, please refer to the above embodiments; to avoid repetition, they will not be repeated here. Figure 11 The accelerometer 1211 can collect acceleration data, the gyroscope 1212 can collect angular velocity data, the motion sensor 1022 can collect motion data, the ambient light sensor 1003 can collect ambient light data, and the opening / closing sensor 1004 can determine the opening / closing detection result. The anti-mistouch virtual sensor 1005 can acquire proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data (attitude data and / or motion data), and if the opening / closing detection result indicates that the folding device is in a target folded state, based on at least two of the proximity detection result, ambient light data, and pose data, it determines that the folding device is in pocket mode and performs an anti-mistouch operation on the screen state of the folding device.

[0205] Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the software architecture of a folding device 1200 provided in an embodiment of this application. The layered architecture divides the software system of the folding device 1200 into several layers, each with a clear role and division of labor. Layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In this embodiment, the system can be divided into four layers: the application layer, the application framework layer (framework layer), the algorithm layer, the device driver layer, and the device layer.

[0206] like Figure 12 As shown, the application layer includes system applications, and the application framework layer includes a service module for preventing accidental touches and detecting virtual sensors. When the foldable device registers to monitor the anti-accidental touch virtual sensor through the system application, the anti-accidental touch virtual sensor service module can activate the anti-accidental touch virtual sensor after receiving the registration and monitoring instruction, and activate the ultrasonic algorithm detection function when the proximity detection sensor includes an ultrasonic sensor.

[0207] like Figure 12 As shown, the algorithm layer includes a virtual sensor to prevent accidental touches, and in the case where the proximity detection sensor includes an ultrasonic sensor, the algorithm layer also includes an ultrasonic detection algorithm engine.

[0208] like Figure 12As shown, the device layer includes an ambient light sensor, an opening / closing sensor, and a pose sensor, such as a motion sensor and / or an attitude sensor including an accelerometer and a gyroscope. In the case where the proximity detection sensor includes an ultrasonic sensor, the device layer also includes a microphone and an earpiece. In the case where the proximity detection sensor includes an infrared proximity sensor, the device layer may also include an infrared proximity sensor.

[0209] like Figure 12 As shown, the device driving layer includes an ambient light sensor driver, a pose sensor driver, an opening / closing sensor driver, and, where the proximity detection sensor includes an ultrasonic sensor, an ultrasonic driver; and where the proximity detection sensor includes an infrared proximity sensor, an infrared proximity sensor driver. The ultrasonic driver is used to turn the microphone and earpiece on or off. Specifically, the ultrasonic driver may include a microphone driver and an earpiece driver, with the microphone driver turning the microphone on or off and the earpiece driver turning the earpiece on or off. The infrared proximity sensor driver turns the infrared proximity sensor on or off, the pose sensor driver turns the pose sensor and / or motion sensor on or off, and the opening / closing sensor driver turns the opening / closing sensor on or off. See details below. Figure 13 .

[0210] Figure 13 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method 1300 for preventing accidental touches in call mode, provided as an embodiment of this application. Figure 13 As shown, the method 1300 may include the following steps:

[0211] S1301, the system application in the application layer sends a registration and listening instruction to the anti-mistouch dummy detection sensor service module in the framework layer. Correspondingly, the anti-mistouch dummy detection sensor service module in the framework layer receives the registration and listening instruction.

[0212] S1302, the anti-mistouch virtual detection sensor service module in the framework layer sends an activation command to the anti-mistouch virtual sensor in the algorithm layer based on the registration listening command. Correspondingly, the anti-mistouch virtual sensor in the algorithm layer receives the activation command.

[0213] S1303, the anti-mistouch virtual sensor in the algorithm layer sends an activation command to the infrared proximity sensor driver, pose sensor, ambient light sensor, and opening / closing sensor in the device driver layer, respectively, based on the activation command. Correspondingly, the infrared proximity sensor driver, pose sensor, ambient light sensor, and opening / closing sensor in the device driver layer receive the activation command.

[0214] S1304, the infrared proximity sensor driver in the device driving layer sends an enable command to the infrared proximity sensor in the device layer based on the proximity enable command. Correspondingly, the infrared proximity sensor in the device layer receives the enable command.

[0215] S1305, the pose sensor driver in the device driver layer sends an enable command to the pose sensor in the device layer based on the enable command. Correspondingly, the pose sensor in the device layer receives the enable command.

[0216] S1306, the ambient light sensor driver in the device driver layer sends an enable command to the ambient light sensor in the device layer based on the enable command. Correspondingly, the ambient light sensor in the device layer receives the enable command.

[0217] S1307, the opening / closing sensor driver in the device driving layer sends an opening command to the opening / closing sensor in the device layer based on the opening command. Correspondingly, the opening / closing sensor in the device layer receives the opening command.

[0218] S1308, the infrared proximity sensor in the device layer determines the proximity detection result, the pose sensor collects pose data, the ambient light sensor collects ambient light data, and the opening / closing sensor determines the opening / closing detection result.

[0219] S1309, the infrared proximity sensor in the device layer sends the proximity detection result to the infrared proximity sensor driver, the pose sensor sends the pose data to the pose sensor driver, the ambient light sensor sends the ambient light data to the ambient light driver, and the opening / closing sensor sends the opening / closing detection result to the opening / closing sensor driver. Correspondingly, the infrared light receiving sensor driver in the device driving layer receives the proximity detection result, the pose sensor driver receives the pose data, the ambient light sensor driver receives the ambient light data, and the opening / closing sensor determines that it receives the opening / closing detection result.

[0220] In step S1310, the infrared proximity sensor driver in the device driving layer sends the proximity detection result to the anti-mistouch virtual sensor in the algorithm layer; the pose sensor driver sends the pose data to the anti-mistouch virtual sensor in the algorithm layer; the ambient light sensor driver sends the ambient light data to the anti-mistouch virtual sensor in the algorithm layer; and the opening / closing sensor driver sends the opening / closing detection result to the anti-mistouch virtual sensor in the algorithm layer. Correspondingly, the anti-mistouch virtual sensor in the algorithm layer receives the proximity detection result, pose data, ambient light data, and opening / closing detection result.

[0221] Optionally, such as Figure 13 As shown, when the proximity detection sensor is an ultrasonic sensor, the anti-mis-touch virtual sensor in the algorithm layer can also obtain the proximity detection result from the ultrasonic detection algorithm module.

[0222] For example, the anti-mistouch false detection sensor service module in the framework layer can send a command to the ultrasonic driver in the device driver layer to enable the ultrasonic algorithm detection function based on the registration monitoring command. Correspondingly, the ultrasonic driver can send a command to the earpiece in the device layer to emit an ultrasonic signal and a command to the microphone in the device layer to receive an ultrasonic signal based on the command to enable the ultrasonic algorithm detection function, so that the earpiece in the device layer emits an ultrasonic signal and the microphone receives the reflected ultrasonic signal. The microphone in the device layer can send the reflected ultrasonic signal to the ultrasonic driver in the device driver layer, so that the ultrasonic driver sends the reflected ultrasonic signal to the ultrasonic detection algorithm module in the algorithm layer, and the ultrasonic detection algorithm module determines the proximity detection result based on the reflected ultrasonic signal.

[0223] S1311, when the opening and closing detection result indicates that the folding device is in the target folding state, the anti-mistouch virtual sensor in the algorithm layer determines that the folding device is in pocket mode based on at least two of the pose data, ambient light data and proximity detection results.

[0224] Optionally, the opening and closing detection results can be obtained first, and when the opening and closing detection results indicate that the folding device is in the target folding state, the aforementioned proximity detection results, ambient light data, and pose data can be obtained. Based on at least two of the pose data, ambient light data, and proximity detection results, it can be determined that the folding device is in pocket mode.

[0225] S1312, the anti-mistouch virtual sensor in the algorithm layer sends the judgment result of being in pocket mode to the anti-mistouch virtual detection sensor service module in the framework layer. Correspondingly, the anti-mistouch virtual detection sensor service module in the framework layer receives the judgment result.

[0226] S1313, the anti-misclick detection sensor service module in the framework layer reports the judgment result to the system application in the application layer. Correspondingly, the system application in the application layer receives the judgment result.

[0227] S1314, The system application in the application layer executes the anti-mistouch operation in this pocket mode based on the judgment result.
