Description

Interaction method and electronic device

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office on February 4, 2024, with application number 202410161390.4 and application name “Interactive Method and Electronic Device,” the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to an interaction method and electronic device. Background Art

[0003] Currently, the use of portable electronic devices such as laptops is becoming more and more common. Users can interact with the laptop through the laptop's touch pad to perform various operations. For example, the user can perform a drag gesture operation by continuously pressing the touch pad with a single finger and dragging on the touch pad, causing the laptop to perform a cursor drag operation.

[0004] However, the above method requires the user to continuously press the touchpad while dragging the cursor, which is quite laborious. Therefore, in some solutions, the user can also complete the drag gesture by double-clicking the touchpad with one finger and then moving the finger on the touchpad. Although this method is more labor-saving, it is easy to conflict with the single-finger double-click gesture on the touchpad, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present application provides an interaction method and an electronic device, which are used to save effort when a user performs a drag gesture operation on a touchpad without conflicting with gesture operations related to the touchpad, thereby improving the user experience.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an interaction method, applied to an electronic device, wherein the electronic device includes a touch panel, the method comprising:

[0008] receiving a first operation of releasing the force and lightly touching the touchpad after pressing multiple fingers, and moving the fingers in the lightly touching state;

[0009] In response to the first operation, a cursor dragging operation is triggered.

[0010] In the interaction method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device triggers the cursor dragging operation in response to the first operation of the user pressing multiple fingers on the touchpad, releasing the force and lightly touching, and moving the fingers in the lightly touching state. That is, the dragging gesture of the present application is pressing multiple fingers, releasing the force and lightly touching, and moving the fingers in the lightly touching state. Since the fingers are moving in the lightly touching state, it can be more labor-saving than the method of continuously pressing the fingers. At the same time, the operation of pressing multiple fingers, releasing the force and lightly touching and moving in the present application will not conflict with the gesture operation of double-clicking with a single finger, and the gesture operation of pressing multiple fingers, releasing the force and lightly touching has not yet been found in the gestures related to the touchpad. Therefore, the dragging gesture of the present application will not conflict with the gesture operations related to the touchpad.

[0011] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the multiple fingers include an index finger, a middle finger, and a ring finger. Compared to the thumb and pinky finger, the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger are longer and of similar length. Therefore, the operation of releasing the force and lightly touching after pressing with the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger is more in line with user usage habits and can reduce user learning costs.

[0012] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, during the finger movement, all of the multiple fingers are in contact with the touchpad. That is, the same fingers perform both pressure release and light touch movement, which is more in line with user habits. Furthermore, during the movement, the user does not need to intentionally leave the touchpad, thereby improving the user experience.

[0013] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, during the process of moving the fingers, some of the multiple fingers are in contact with the touch panel.

[0014] Due to the difference in length of each finger, during the multi-finger movement process, the user's shorter fingers may leave the touchpad. Through the above implementation, when some of the multi-finger fingers leave the touchpad, the electronic device can continue to trigger the cursor dragging operation, thereby improving the stability of the electronic device in triggering the cursor dragging operation process.

[0015] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, in a multi-finger press state, the pressure on the touchpad is greater than or equal to a first threshold; and in a release light touch state, the pressure on the touchpad is greater than zero and less than or equal to a second threshold, where the second threshold is less than the first threshold. In this way, the touchpad can identify a user's release press operation by detecting the magnitude of the pressure.

[0016] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, when the touchpad is a mechanical button touchpad, the first threshold is the minimum pressure required when a mechanical button of the mechanical button touchpad is pressed, and the second threshold is the maximum pressure that the mechanical button can withstand when it is released.

[0017] According to the above embodiment, when the touchpad is a mechanical key touchpad, the user's pressing and releasing operation can be identified through the pressing and releasing of the mechanical keys.

[0018] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, a time interval between the release operation and the finger moving operation is less than or equal to a target duration.

[0019] If the user drags the cursor by releasing the pressure with multiple fingers and then lightly touching and moving the fingers, according to the user's usage habits, the user will usually move the fingers touching the touchpad immediately after releasing the pressure. If there is a long interval between the release operation and the finger movement operation, it is highly likely that the user does not want to drag the cursor. Therefore, the above implementation method can improve the accuracy of the electronic device when triggering the cursor dragging operation.

[0020] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the touchpad includes at least one of a mechanical button touchpad and a pressure-sensitive touchpad.

[0021] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an interactive device, applied to an electronic device, wherein the electronic device includes a touch panel, and the device includes:

[0022] A receiving module is configured to receive a first operation of releasing the force and lightly touching the touch panel after pressing multiple fingers on the touch panel, and then moving the fingers in the lightly touching state;

[0023] Trigger module: used to trigger the cursor dragging operation in response to the first operation.

[0024] In a possible implementation manner of the second aspect, the multiple fingers include an index finger, a middle finger, and a ring finger.

[0025] In a possible implementation of the second aspect, during the process of moving the fingers, all the fingers in the multiple fingers are in contact with the touchpad.

[0026] In a possible implementation of the second aspect, during the process of moving the fingers, some of the multiple fingers are in contact with the touchpad.

[0027] In a possible implementation of the second aspect, in a multi-finger pressing state, the pressure on the touchpad is greater than or equal to a first threshold; in a release light touch state, the pressure on the touchpad is greater than zero and less than or equal to a second threshold, and the second threshold is less than the first threshold.

[0028] In a possible implementation of the second aspect, when the touchpad is a mechanical button touchpad, the first threshold is the minimum pressure required when a mechanical button of the mechanical button touchpad is pressed, and the second threshold is the maximum pressure that the mechanical button can withstand when it is released.

[0029] In a possible implementation of the second aspect, a time interval between the release operation and the finger moving operation is less than or equal to a target duration.

[0030] In a possible implementation of the second aspect, the touchpad includes at least one of a mechanical button touchpad and a pressure-sensitive touchpad.

[0031] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an interaction method, applied to an electronic device, wherein the electronic device includes a touch screen, the method comprising:

[0032] Receiving a hand lift operation after a multi-finger long press on the touch screen;

[0033] In response to the operation, the content corresponding to the multi-finger pressing positions is saved in a transfer station.

[0034] Through the above implementation, users can save content in the transfer station more conveniently, thereby improving user experience.

[0035] In a possible implementation of the third aspect, the multiple fingers include an index finger, a middle finger, and a ring finger. Compared to the thumb and pinky finger, the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger are longer and of similar length. Therefore, the operation of long pressing and then lifting the hand with the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger is more in line with user usage habits and can reduce user learning costs.

[0036] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an interactive device, applied to an electronic device, wherein the electronic device includes a touch screen, and the device includes:

[0037] Receiving module: used for receiving the operation of lifting the hand after long pressing multiple fingers on the touch screen;

[0038] A saving module is configured to save the content corresponding to the multi-finger pressing positions in a transfer station in response to the operation.

[0039] In a possible implementation manner of the fourth aspect, the multiple fingers include an index finger, a middle finger, and a ring finger.

[0040] In a fifth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device comprising: a memory and a processor, the memory being used to store a computer program; the processor being used to execute the method described in any implementation of the first aspect or any implementation of the third aspect when calling the computer program.

[0041] In a sixth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the method described in any embodiment of the first aspect or any embodiment of the third aspect.

[0042] In a seventh aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer program product. When the computer program product runs on an electronic device, the electronic device executes the method described in any implementation of the first aspect or any implementation of the third aspect.

[0043] In an eighth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a chip system, comprising a processor coupled to a memory, wherein the processor executes a computer program stored in the memory to implement the method described in any embodiment of the first aspect or any embodiment of the third aspect. The chip system may be a single chip or a chip module composed of multiple chips.

[0044] It can be understood that the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned second aspect, and aspects 4 to 8 can be found in the relevant descriptions of the above-mentioned first and third aspects, and will not be repeated here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0058] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The terms used in the implementation methods of the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

[0059] Many electronic devices, such as laptops, include touchpads (also known as trackpads). A user can perform a drag gesture by continuously pressing and dragging the touchpad with one finger, causing the electronic device to perform a drag operation on the cursor on the display screen.

[0060] However, the above method requires the user to continuously press the touchpad while dragging the cursor, which is quite laborious. Therefore, in some solutions, the user can complete the drag gesture by double-clicking the touchpad with one finger and moving the finger on the touchpad. Although this method is more labor-saving, it is easy to conflict with the gesture operation of double-clicking the touchpad with one finger, resulting in a poor user experience. In other solutions, the user can also complete the drag gesture operation by tapping and moving three fingers. However, this method will conflict with the gesture operation of swiping left and right with three fingers to switch background tasks, and swiping up with three fingers to return to the desktop, which will also lead to a poor user experience.

[0061] In view of this, the present application provides an interaction method for making it easier for users to perform drag gesture operations on a touchpad without conflicting with touchpad-related gesture operations, thereby improving user experience.

[0062] The interaction method provided in the present application can be applied to electronic devices including touchpads. The touchpad can be provided on an electronic device, for example, a laptop computer as shown in FIG1 . The touchpad can also be provided on an external device of the electronic device, for example, a keyboard including a touchpad can be connected to an electronic device such as a laptop computer, a personal computer (PC), a netbook, or a tablet computer. The electronic device and the external device can be connected by a wired connection or by a wireless connection via Bluetooth, a wireless receiver, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) adapter, or the like.

[0063] The touchpad can be circular, oval, rectangular, or other polygonal shapes. In the following embodiments of the present application, the electronic device is a laptop computer and the touchpad is a rounded rectangle.

[0064] FIG2 is a flow chart of an interaction method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the interaction method provided in this embodiment may include the following steps:

[0065] S110: Receive a first operation of releasing the force and lightly touching the touchpad after pressing multiple fingers, and then moving the fingers in the lightly touching state.

[0066] The touchpad can be a mechanical button touchpad or a pressure-sensitive touchpad.

[0067] In some embodiments, the multiple fingers can be three fingers, such as the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger. Since the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger are longer than the thumb and pinky finger, and their lengths are relatively similar, the operation of pressing with the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger followed by releasing the force and lightly touching is more in line with user usage habits and can reduce the user's learning cost.

[0068] In some embodiments, the multi-fingers may also be composed of three fingers, such as the thumb, index finger, and middle finger. In some embodiments, the multi-fingers may also be two fingers (such as the index finger and middle finger, the middle finger and the ring finger, etc.), four fingers (such as the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and ring finger, the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger, etc.), and five fingers (i.e., the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger). The embodiments of this application will be described exemplarily using the multi-fingers including the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger as an example.

[0069] As shown in Figure 3, the first operation may include a three-finger press operation, a release light touch operation (i.e., the fingers do not leave the touchpad after the release operation), and a light touch movement operation. Specifically, when three fingers are detected touching the touchpad, and the pressure of the sensing area on the touchpad in contact with the user's fingers is greater than or equal to a first threshold, it can be determined that the current operation on the touchpad is a multi-finger press operation; when the pressure of the sensing area on the touchpad in contact with the user's fingers is still less than or equal to a second threshold (the second threshold is less than the first threshold) and greater than zero, it can be determined that the current operation on the touchpad is a release light touch operation; then, when multiple fingers are detected moving on the touchpad, it can be determined that the current operation on the touchpad is a drag gesture (i.e., the first operation).

[0070] Since the fingers are moving in a light touch state, it can save more effort than the method of continuously pressing the fingers; at the same time, the operation of releasing the force and moving lightly after pressing multiple fingers will not conflict with gesture operations such as single-finger double-click, three-finger swipe up, and three-finger left and right swipe, and the gesture operation of releasing the force and moving lightly after pressing multiple fingers has not been found in the gestures related to the touchpad. Therefore, the drag gesture of this application will not conflict with gesture operations related to the touchpad.

[0071] The naming method for the operations input by the user in the embodiment of the present application is only an example and should not be understood as a limitation to the embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the same operation may also have other names, such as the second operation, the third operation, etc.

[0072] In some embodiments, when the touchpad is a mechanical button touchpad, the first threshold may be the minimum pressure required when any mechanical button of the mechanical button touchpad is pressed down, and correspondingly, the second threshold may be the maximum pressure that any mechanical button of the mechanical button touchpad can withstand when it is released.

[0073] If the user drags the cursor on the display screen by releasing the pressure with multiple fingers and then lightly touching and moving the fingers, according to the user's usage habits, the user will usually move the fingers touching the touchpad immediately after releasing the pressure. If there is a long interval between the release and touch operation and the touch and move operation, the user is very likely not wanting to drag the cursor. Therefore, in some embodiments, when the time interval between the release and touch operation and the touch and move operation is greater than the target duration, it can be determined that the current operation on the touchpad is not a drag gesture. In this way, when there is a long interval between the release and touch operation and the touch and move operation, the drag operation of the cursor on the display screen will not be triggered, thereby improving the accuracy of the electronic device in triggering the cursor drag operation on the display screen.

[0074] In some embodiments, during the multi-finger light touch movement, multiple fingers can be in contact with the touchpad. For example, the index finger, middle finger and ring finger press on the touchpad and then release the force and lightly touch, and then move in the light touch state. During the movement, the index finger, middle finger and ring finger are all in contact with the touchpad. In this way, the pressing and releasing operations and the light touch movement operations are performed by the same fingers, which is more in line with the user's usage habits. In addition, during the light touch movement, the user's fingers do not need to deliberately leave the touchpad, thereby improving the user experience.

[0075] Due to the difference in length of each finger, during a multi-finger movement, the user's shorter finger may leave the touchpad. Therefore, in some embodiments, multiple fingers may partially contact the touchpad during a multi-finger light touch movement. For example, the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger may press on the touchpad, release the force, and then lightly touch, and then move in a light touch state. In this way, even if the pinky finger, which is shorter than the other three fingers, leaves the touchpad during the movement, the electronic device can still continue to trigger the cursor drag operation, thereby improving the stability of the electronic device in triggering the cursor drag operation.

[0076] It is understandable that, in some embodiments, the first operation may also be an operation of pressing with a single finger, releasing the force, lightly touching, and moving the finger in the lightly touching state. The single finger may be the index finger, the middle finger, etc.

[0077] S120: In response to the first operation, trigger a cursor dragging operation.

[0078] During the finger touch and movement process, the cursor drag operation will continue to be triggered until the finger stops moving on the touchpad, triggering the cursor drag end event and the cursor stops dragging.

[0079] In some embodiments, the cursor dragging operation may include dragging content. For example, as shown in (a) and (b) in Figure 4, when the cursor on the display screen is above a folder, three fingers are pressed on the touchpad and then lightly touched. The cursor on the display screen selects the folder, and then three fingers lightly touch the touchpad to move to the right. The cursor on the display screen drags the folder to the right.

[0080] In some embodiments, the cursor dragging operation can also include framing multiple contents. For example, as shown in (a) and (b) in Figure 5, when the cursor on the display screen is located in the blank space below folder 7, three fingers are pressed on the touchpad and then lightly touched. The cursor on the display screen is in a pressed state. Then, three fingers lightly touch the touchpad and move forward. The cursor on the display screen moves upward and selects folders 3 to 7.

[0081] For example, as shown in (a) and (b) in Figure 6, when the cursor on the display screen is at the beginning of a paragraph of text, three fingers are pressed on the touchpad and then lightly touched. The cursor on the display screen is in a pressed state. Then, three fingers lightly touch the touchpad and move to the lower right. The cursor on the display screen moves to the lower right and selects the corresponding text in the text.

[0082] In some embodiments, the cursor dragging operation may also include adjusting the window size and position. For example, as shown in (a) and (b) in Figure 7, when the cursor on the display screen is located on the left side of the window corresponding to the file, three fingers are pressed on the touchpad and then lightly touched. The cursor on the display screen is in a pressed state. Then, three fingers lightly touch the touchpad to move to the left. The cursor on the display screen drags the left side of the window corresponding to the file to move to the left.

[0083] In other embodiments, after selecting the content, you can also use shortcut keys (such as Alt+S, Alt+Z, etc.) to make the cursor stick to the selected content (that is, to achieve the effect of pressing the left mouse button on the selected content), so that the selected content enters the drag state, and as the finger touches and moves on the touchpad, the selected content also moves on the display screen with the movement of the cursor. In this way, the user does not need to continuously press the finger to make the selected content move with the cursor on the display screen, which can save more effort and improve the user experience. For example, when the text in Figure 6 is selected, the shortcut key Alt+S can be used to make the selected text enter the drag state, and when the finger touches and moves on the touchpad, the selected text can be moved to the corresponding position in the text.

[0084] In the interactive method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device triggers the cursor dragging operation in response to the first operation of the user pressing multiple fingers on the touchpad, releasing the force and lightly touching, and moving the fingers in the lightly touching state. That is, the dragging gesture of the present application is pressing multiple fingers, releasing the force and lightly touching, and moving the fingers in the lightly touching state. Since the fingers are moving in the lightly touching state, it can be more labor-saving than the method of continuously pressing the fingers. At the same time, the operation of pressing multiple fingers, releasing the force and lightly touching and moving in the present application will not conflict with gesture operations such as single-finger double-clicking, three-finger swipe up, and three-finger left and right swipe, and the gesture operation of pressing multiple fingers, releasing the force and lightly touching in the gestures related to the touchpad has not yet been found. Therefore, the dragging gesture of the present application will not conflict with gesture operations related to the touchpad.

[0085] In other embodiments, the present application also provides another interaction method, which can be applied to electronic devices including touch screens, such as mobile phones, smart screens, tablets, laptops with touch screen functions, etc.

[0086] FIG8 is a flow chart of another interactive method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG8 , the interactive method provided in this embodiment may include the following steps:

[0087] S210: Receive a hand-lifting operation after a multi-finger long press on the touch screen.

[0088] In some embodiments, the multi-finger gesture can be three fingers, such as the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger. Since the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger are longer than the thumb and pinky finger, and their lengths are relatively similar, the long press and then lift operation of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger is more in line with the user's usage habits and can reduce the user's learning cost.

[0089] In some embodiments, the multi-finger gesture may also be composed of three fingers, such as the thumb, index finger, and middle finger. In other embodiments, the multi-finger gesture may also be composed of two fingers (such as the index finger and middle finger, the middle finger and the ring finger, etc.), four fingers (such as the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and ring finger, the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger, etc.), and five fingers (i.e., the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger). The embodiments of this application will be described hereinafter by taking the multi-finger gesture including the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger as an example.

[0090] The operation of raising the hand after a multi-finger long press can include a multi-finger long press operation and a hand-raising operation. Specifically, when multi-finger contact with the touch screen is detected and the pressure of the target area on the touch screen that is in contact with the user's fingers is greater than or equal to a third threshold, it can be determined that the current operation on the touch screen is a multi-finger pressing operation; when it is detected that the duration of the pressing operation is greater than or equal to the set time, it is determined that the current operation on the touch screen is a multi-finger long press operation; then when it is detected that the pressure of the target area is reduced to close to or equal to zero, it can be determined that the current operation on the touch screen is a hand-raising operation.

[0091] S220: In response to the hand-lifting operation after long pressing with multiple fingers, the content corresponding to the pressing positions of the multiple fingers is saved in a transfer station.

[0092] The content corresponding to the location where you long press with multiple fingers can be files, folders, applications, etc.

[0093] Specifically, when a multi-finger long press and then a hand lift operation is received on the touch screen, the system can first detect whether there is a file, folder, application, or other content at the location of the multi-finger long press on the touch screen. If so, the content can be saved in the transfer station. This allows users to save content in the transfer station more conveniently, improving the user experience.

[0094] For example, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG9 , after long pressing the index finger, middle finger and ring finger on the touch screen and then lifting the hand, the folder corresponding to the long pressed position on the touch screen is saved to the transfer station.

[0095] In other embodiments, the present application provides another interaction method, which can be applied to electronic devices including touch screens and touchpads, such as laptops and netbooks with touch screen functions, tablet computers with external keyboards (with touchpads on the keyboards), etc.
