1Measurement precision

If control is based on quantity of logical pixels corresponding to touch operation, then control precision is improved, but control consistency across different terminal models deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol precisionVSAvoidcontrol consistency across different terminals
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the control parameter from raw logical pixel quantity to a normalized value by introducing pixel density as a scaling factor. The corrected quantity of logical pixels is calculated by multiplying the original quantity by the ratio of reference pixel density to actual pixel density, thereby adapting the control parameter to account for hardware variations across different terminal models while maintaining precise control within each terminal.

AI summary

Embodiments of this application are related to an interactive object control method and performed at a terminal. The method includes: obtaining a quantity of logical pixels corresponding to a touch operation performed on an interactive object on a touchscreen of the terminal; obtaining a logical pixel density of the touchscreen; correcting the quantity of logical pixels corresponding to the touch operation based on the logical pixel density and a reference pixel density; and controlling the interactive object based on the corrected quantity of logical pixels. After the quantity of logical pixels corresponding to the touch operation performed on the interactive object is obtained, the quantity of logical pixels corresponding to the touch operation is corrected based on the logical pixel density and a reference pixel density of the touchscreen and then the interactive object is controlled based on the corrected quantity of logical pixels.
