The present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions that fall within the scope of the claims.

[0025] The present disclosure provides these embodiments to make the present disclosure thorough and complete, and to fully express the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps, the composition of the materials, the numerical expressions and the numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments should be interpreted as being merely exemplary, and not as limiting.

[0026] It should be noted that, in the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" is greater than or equal to two; the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present disclosure. When the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0027] In addition, the words "first", "second" and similar words used in the present disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different parts. "Vertical" does not mean vertical in the strict sense, but is within the tolerance range. "Parallel" does not mean parallel in the strict sense, but is within the tolerance range. "Include" or "comprising" and similar words mean that the elements before the word include the elements listed after the word, and do not exclude the possibility of including other elements.

[0028] It should also be noted that in the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances. When a specific device is described as being located between a first device and a second device, there may or may not be an intermediate device between the specific device and the first device or the second device.

[0029] All terms used in the present disclosure have the same meanings as those understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that terms defined in general dictionaries, for example, should be interpreted as having meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or extremely formal sense, unless explicitly defined as such herein.

[0030] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0031] The present disclosure provides an electronic device 100, see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the electronic device 100 includes: a display screen 10, a control structure 20, a touch pad 30 and a first control structure 40. The control structure 20 is electrically connected to the display screen 10 and is used to control the target object displayed on the display screen 10; the touch pad 30 is electrically connected to the display screen 10 and can generate a corresponding touch signal in response to the touch operation of the target operating body; the first control structure 40 includes: a first detection member 41 and a first control member 42. The first detection member 41 is physically or electrically connected to the touch pad 30, and the first control member 42 is electrically connected to the first detection member 41 and the touch pad 30 respectively; the first control member 42 can control the touch pad 30 to be in a disabled state or a working state according to the detection result of the first detection member 41.

[0032] That is to say, the target object (such as a game character) in the display content on the display screen 10 can be controlled (such as moving) by operating the control structure 20, and the display content of the display screen 10 (such as a game character or a pointer) can also be controlled (such as moving) by touching the touch pad 30, so that the display content of the display screen 10 can be changed in different ways; and the first detection member 41 can detect the touch pad 30 according to the pre-set conditions to determine whether the user's touch operation on the touch pad 30 is an accidental touch or a normal touch. If it is an accidental touch, the touch pad 30 is controlled to be in a disabled state through the first control member 42. At this time, even if the touch operation is performed on the touch pad 30, the display content of the display screen 10 will not change accordingly; and if it is a normal touch, the touch pad 30 is controlled to continue to be in a working state through the first control member 42. In this way, when the touch pad 30 is accidentally touched, the first detection member 41 and the first control member 42 can cooperate to disable the touch pad 30, so that the user does not need to exit the current game and perform the disable setting, so as to improve the convenience.

[0033] Here, the display screen 10 may be a touch display screen 10 or a non-touch display screen 10; when the display screen 10 is a touch display screen 10, the touch operation on the display screen 10 may be to modify the properties of the electronic device 100 (such as brightness, clarity), or to manipulate the target object, etc. The pre-set condition for the first detection member 41 may be the contact area between the user and the touch pad 30. When the contact area is within a pre-set range (i.e., the contact area during normal touch), it is a normal touch; and when the contact area exceeds the pre-set range, it is a false touch.

[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 As shown, the first control component 42 can control the touch pad 30 to be in a disabled state when the first detection component 41 detects that the contact area of ​​the target operating body on the touch pad 30 is greater than a first threshold; and / or, the first control component 42 can also control the touch pad 30 to be in a working state when the first detection component 41 detects that the contact area of ​​the target operating body on the touch pad 30 is less than a second threshold.

[0035] When the touch pad 30 is normally operated, the user usually uses the fingertip of the thumb and the area around the fingertip to operate on the touch pad 30. In this way, the first threshold value can be set to the area of ​​the thumb's fingertip, because the area of ​​the thumb's fingertip is larger than the area of ​​the thumb's fingertip and the area around the fingertip. When the first detection member 41 detects that the contact area is larger than the first threshold value, it is determined that the touch pad 30 is touched by mistake at this time, and then the touch pad 30 can be controlled to be in a disabled state through the first control member 42; at the same time, the second threshold value can be set to the area of ​​the fingertip and the area around the fingertip. When the contact area detected by the first detection member 41 is less than (including less than and equal to) the second threshold value, it is determined that the touch pad 30 is touched normally at this time, and then the touch pad 30 can be controlled to be in a working state through the first control member 42. In this way, the contact area on the touch pad 30 can be detected by the first detection member 41 to confirm whether it is a false touch.

[0036] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 As shown, the first control element 42 can control the signal connection between the touch panel 30 and the display screen 10 to be in a connected state or a disconnected state, so that the touch panel 30 is in a working state or a disabled state; or, the first control element 42 can control the power receiving parameters of the touch panel 30, so that the touch panel 30 is in a disabled state or a working state. That is, the first control element 42 can be a first control circuit that can control the on-off of the circuit between the touch panel 30 and the display screen 10. When the first control circuit controls the circuit between the touch panel 30 and the display screen 10 to be connected, the touch panel 30 is in a working state; when the first control circuit controls the circuit between the touch panel 30 and the display screen 10 to be disconnected, the touch panel 30 is in a disabled state. The first control element 42 can also be a second control circuit that can control the power-on state of the touch panel 30. When the second control circuit controls the touch panel 30 to be powered on, the touch panel 30 is in a working state; when the second control circuit controls the touch panel 30 to be powered off, the touch panel 30 is in a disabled state. In specific implementation, the first control circuit setting can be selected, and the second control circuit setting can also be selected to increase the flexibility of the setting.

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 3As shown, the first control structure 40 also includes: a second detection member 43 and a second control member 44; the second detection member 43 is electrically connected to the control structure 20, and is used to detect the use state of the control structure 20; the second control member 44 can control the touch pad 30 to be in a disabled state when the control structure 20 is in a working state. Because at the same time, the user operates the control structure 20 or the touch pad 30, that is, when the control structure 20 is in a use state, the touch operation of the touch pad 30 is a false touch, and vice versa, it is a normal touch. In this way, when the second detection member 43 detects that the control structure 20 is in a use state, the touch pad 30 is controlled to be in a disabled state to reduce the influence of the false touch on the display content on the display screen 10. In this way, the cooperation of the first detection member 41 and the first control member 42, and the cooperation of the second detection member 43 and the second control member 44 can make the detection result more accurate.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first detection member 41 includes: a pressure sensor; the pressure sensor is disposed on a side of the touch panel 30 opposite to the touch surface of the touch panel 30 and is physically connected to the touch panel 30. The contact area on the touch panel 30 can be determined by the pressure information on the touch panel 30 sensed by the pressure sensor.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first detection member 41 includes a capacitive sensor which is electrically connected to the touch panel 30. The contact area on the touch panel 30 can be determined by the capacitive information on the touch panel 30 sensed by the capacitive sensor.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the manipulation structure 20 and the touch pad 30 are arranged on the same side of the display screen 10 .

[0041] Example 1: The display screen 10 is a quadrilateral and is located on the left side, while the control structure 20 and the touch pad 30 are both located on the right side of the display screen 10. When the user holds the electronic device 100 with his left and right hands respectively, the right hand is close to the control structure 20 and the touch pad 30, so that the right hand can conveniently switch the operation of the control structure 20 and the touch pad 30. At the same time, the setting of the first detection member 41 and the first control member 42 can avoid the probability of accidentally touching the control of the display screen 10. This example is suitable for users who are accustomed to right-handed operation.

[0042] Example 2: The display screen 10 is a quadrilateral and is located on the right side, while the control structure 20 and the touch pad 30 are both located on the left side of the display screen 10. When the user holds the electronic device 100 with his left and right hands respectively, the left hand is close to the control structure 20 and the touch pad 30, so that the left hand can conveniently switch the operation of the control structure 20 and the touch pad 30. At the same time, the setting of the first detection member 41 and the first control member 42 can avoid the probability of accidentally touching the control of the display screen 10. This example is suitable for users who are accustomed to left-hand operation.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the control structure 20 includes: a crank 21 and a button 22; the crank 21 is electrically connected to the display screen 10; the button 22 is electrically connected to the display screen 10. Here, the crank 21 can be turned to make the target object move, rotate, etc.; the button 22 can be pressed to make the target object be selected, jump, etc.

[0044] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device 100 includes: a first body 50 and a second body 60; the first body 50 is provided with a display screen 10; the second body 60 is detachably connected to one end of the first body 50, and the second body 60 is provided with a control structure 20 and a touch pad 30; when the first body 50 and the second body 60 are connected, the display screen 10, the control structure 20 and the touch pad 30 are located on the same side of the electronic device 100. In this way, the first body 50 and the second body 60 can be connected together for use, or the first body 50 can be supported on a desktop and the second body 60 can be held for operation and control. In this way, it is convenient for users to use selectively.

[0045] For specific implementation, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the electronic device 100 may also include: a third body 70, which may be detachably connected to the other end of the first body 50, and the third body 70 may also be provided with a control structure 20, so that the user can control the target object of the display screen 10 through the control structure 20 on the second body 60, and may also control the target object of the display screen 10 through the control structure 20 on the third body 70.

[0046] In some embodiments, a receiving groove is provided on the second body 60, and the touch pad 30 is provided in the receiving groove and does not protrude from the receiving groove. That is, the touch pad 30 provided in the receiving groove is sunken in the receiving groove, or is flush with the second body 60 on the side of the receiving groove, so that the user can reduce the discomfort caused by being lifted by the touch pad 30 when operating the control structure 20 and touching the touch pad 30.

[0047] In one example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device 100 includes:

[0048] The first body 50 is provided with a display screen 10 .

[0049] The second body 60 is detachably connected to one end of the first body 50, and the second body 60 is provided with a control structure 20 and a touch pad 30; when the first body 50 and the second body 60 are connected, the display screen 10, the control structure 20 and the touch pad 30 are located on the same side of the electronic device 100. The control structure 20 includes: a crank 21 and a button 22, the crank 21 is electrically connected to the display screen 10, the button 22 is electrically connected to the display screen 10, and the control structure 20 is used to control the target object displayed on the display screen 10; the touch pad 30 is electrically connected to the display screen 10, and can generate a corresponding touch signal in response to the touch operation of the target operating body.

[0050] The first control structure 40 includes: a first detection member 41 and a first control member 42. The first detection member 41 is physically or electrically connected to the touch pad 30, and the first control member 42 is electrically connected to the first detection member 41 and the touch pad 30 respectively; the first control member 42 can control the touch pad 30 to be in a disabled state when the first detection member 41 detects that the contact area of ​​the target operating body on the touch pad 30 is greater than a first threshold; and / or, the first control member 42 can also control the touch pad 30 to be in a working state when the first detection member 41 detects that the contact area of ​​the target operating body on the touch pad 30 is less than a second threshold. The first control structure 40 also includes: a second detection member 43 and a second control member 44; the second detection member 43 is electrically connected to the control structure 20, and is used to detect the use state of the control structure 20; the second control member 44 can control the touch pad 30 to be in a disabled state when the control structure 20 is in a working state.

[0051] When the second detection member 43 detects that the crank 21 or the button 22 is in use, the touch on the touch pad 30 is an accidental touch, so that the second control member 44 controls the touch pad 30 to be in a disabled state;

[0052] When the first detection element 41 detects that the contact area on the touch pad 30 is larger than the area of ​​the user's thumb and the surrounding area, the touch on the touch pad 30 is a false touch, so that the first control element 42 controls the touch pad 30 to be in a disabled state;

[0053] When the first detection element 41 detects that the contact area on the touch pad 30 is smaller than or equal to the area of ​​the user's thumb and the surrounding area, the touch on the touch pad 30 is normal, so that the first control element 42 controls the touch pad 30 to be in working state.
