Touch Operation Handling for Edge Region Differentiation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile terminals with narrow frames struggle to differentiate between intentional and accidental touch operations on the edge regions of the touch display screen, leading to unintended tasks and resource wastage.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that determine the operation region of touch operations on a touch display screen, distinguishing between a first operation region and a second operation region, with a higher response priority for the first operation region to minimize accidental responses, by analyzing touch positions and types within predetermined durations and adapting based on user behavior and usage scenarios.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the frame width of the mobile terminal is reduced to increase screen ratio, then the screen ratio is improved, but the ability to differentiate between intentional and accidental touch operations on edge regions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The touch display screen is divided into multiple operation regions including a first operation region and a second operation region. The first operation region is configured to respond to touch operations with higher priority, while the second operation region is configured to respond with lower priority or require additional confirmation. This segmentation allows the system to differentiate between intentional and accidental touches on edge regions while maintaining the full-screen design.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the touch display screen are assigned different response characteristics. The first operation region has higher response priority for intentional inputs, while the second operation region (particularly edge regions) has lower response priority or requires additional user confirmation. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by maintaining full-screen area while providing selective responsiveness to touch operations.
2Ease of operation
If the mobile terminal responds to all touch operations on the touch display screen, then the ease of operation is improved, but the loss of resources due to accidental operations increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts its response behavior based on the operation region where the touch occurs. When a touch operation is detected in the second operation region (edge region), the system applies a lower response priority or requires additional confirmation before executing the operation. This dynamic adjustment maintains ease of operation for intentional inputs while preventing resource wastage from accidental touches.
Solution Approach 2:
The system preemptively prevents accidental operations from being executed by applying a confirmation mechanism or lower priority response for touch operations detected in the second operation region. This preliminary protective action stops resource wastage before it occurs by blocking or delaying the execution of potentially accidental operations.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a method for responding to a touch operation and an electronic device. The method includes the followings. A usage scenario of a mobile terminal is determined. A first touch operation and a second touch operation applied on a touch display screen within a predetermined duration are received. A first operation type of the first touch operation is determined. A second operation type of the second touch operation is determined. It is determined whether to respond to the first touch operation and/or the second touch operation based on the first operation type, the second operation type and the usage scenario. The electronic device includes a processor and a touch display screen. The processor is configured to determine whether to respond to a touch operation applied on the touch display screen according to an operation region and an operation type.
