The first sensing parameter may be: when the first sensor is an infrared sensor, the first sensing parameter may be a distance parameter between an object that operates the electronic device and a display unit of the first display module. The distance threshold may be a value preset according to a practical situation, for example, it may be 0, which shows the object that operates the electronic device and the display unit of the first display module are in a contacted state; or it may be 0.5 to 2 cm, which shows the object that operates the electronic device and the display unit of the first display module are in a close state.

The embodiment of the present application provides an information processing method applied to an electronic device that includes a first display module, as shown in
Herein, the electronic device may be a smart phone or a smart watch.
The first sensor may be an infrared sensor.
The first sensing parameter may be: when the first sensor is an infrared sensor, the first sensing parameter may be a distance parameter between an object that operates the electronic device and a display unit of the first display module.
The distance threshold may be a value preset according to a practical situation, for example, it may be 0, which shows the object that operates the electronic device and the display unit of the first display module are in a contacted state; or it may be 0.5 to 2 cm, which shows the object that operates the electronic device and the display unit of the first display module are in a close state.
The object that operates the electronic device may be finger of the user, eyes of the user, or head of the user.
The above second sensor may be a touch screen, then the second sensing parameter may be a touch period.
Correspondingly, the second predetermined condition may be: determining whether the object that operates on the display output area to which the display unit corresponds belongs to a first operating body by judging whether the touch period reaches a predetermined threshold, which may be 10 seconds; for example, when the user needs to lighten the display unit, he/she may touch any position in the display output area of the display unit, if the period reaches 10 seconds, then it is determined that the object that operates the display unit is the first operating body, that is, the finger of the user.
The above display output area may be a specified area, for example, it may be specified that the first operating body needs to operate on the intermediate area of the smart phone.
Alternatively, the above second sensor may be a temperature sensor, then the second sensing parameter is a temperature parameter.
Correspondingly, determining whether the second sensing parameter satisfies a second predetermined condition may be: determining whether the object that operates on the display output area to which the display unit corresponds belongs to a first operating body by judging whether the second sensing parameter reaches a predetermined temperature threshold. For example, the basic human body temperature is between 35 to 40 degrees, so the predetermined temperature threshold may be 35 to 40 degrees, when the second sensor detects that the temperature of the first operating body is 36 degrees, then it is determined that the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition.
In this way, it is possible to further determine whether the operation comes from the first operating body by determining whether the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition, thereby it is ensured that the possibility of occurrence of a misjudgment is reduced.
There is no particular order and priority to execute the above step 201 and step 202, for example, step 202 may be executed first, and thereafter step 201 is executed, that is, first acquiring the first sensing parameter of the first sensor and thereafter acquiring the second sensing parameter of the second sensor.
An implementation scenario of this embodiment will be described below:

A second sensing parameter, i.e., a temperature parameter, is acquired through the temperature sensor, it is determined whether the temperature parameter satisfies a predetermined temperature threshold, i.e., 35 to 40 degrees, when the temperature parameter satisfies the predetermined temperature threshold, then it is determined that the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition, i.e., it is determined that the object that operates on the display output area of the display unit is the first operating body, wherein in this embodiment, it is assumed that the first operating body is a finger of the user.
Thereafter, a first sensing parameter is acquired through the infrared sensor; it is determined whether the first sensing parameter satisfies the first predetermined condition, i.e., whether a distance between the finger of the user and the display unit of the smart phone is within a distance threshold.
Again, when the first sensing parameter satisfies the first predetermined condition and the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition, a first control instruction is generated, and the display unit of the first display mode is lightened based on the first control instruction.
Second scenario: in the case where the second sensor is a touch sensor, i.e., a touch screen, and the first sensor is an infrared sensor
A second sensing parameter, i.e., a touch period parameter, is acquired through the touch screen, it is determined whether the touch period parameter satisfies a predetermined period, i.e., more than 10 seconds, when satisfied, then it is determined that the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition, i.e., it is determined that the object that operates on the display output area of the display unit is the first operating body, wherein in this embodiment, it is assumed that the first operating body is a finger of the user.
Thereafter, a first sensing parameter is acquired through the infrared sensor; it is determined whether the first sensing parameter satisfies the first predetermined condition, i.e., whether a distance between the finger of the user and the display unit of the smart phone is within a distance threshold.
Again, when the first sensing parameter satisfies the first predetermined condition and the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition, a first control instruction is generated, and the display unit of the first display mode is lightened based on the first control instruction.
Third scenario: in the case where the second sensor is a touch sensor, i.e., a touch screen, and the first sensor is an infrared sensor
First, a first sensing parameter is acquired through the infrared sensor; it is determined whether the first sensing parameter satisfies the first predetermined condition, i.e., whether a distance between the finger of the user and the display unit of the smart phone is within a distance threshold.
Thereafter, a second sensing parameter, i.e., a touch period parameter, is acquired through the touch screen, it is determined whether the touch period parameter satisfies a predetermined period, i.e., more than 10 seconds, when satisfied, then it is determined that the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition, i.e., it is determined that the object that operates on the display output area of the display unit is the first operating body, wherein in this embodiment, it is assumed that the first operating body is a finger of the user.
When the first sensing parameter satisfies the first predetermined condition and the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition, a first control instruction is generated, and the display unit of the first display mode is lightened based on the first control instruction.
As will be appreciated, in this scenario, only the example of the second sensor being a touch sensor is provided, in practical application, the second sensor in this scenario may be a temperature sensor, it using manner is the same as that in the first scenario, no more details repeated here.
Fourth scenario: in the case where the second sensor is a temperature sensor, and the first sensor is an infrared sensor
First, a first sensing parameter is acquired through the infrared sensor; it is determined whether the first sensing parameter satisfies the first predetermined condition, i.e., whether a distance between the finger of the user and the display unit of the smart phone is within a distance threshold; meanwhile, a second sensing parameter, i.e., a temperature parameter, is acquired through the temperature sensor, when the temperature parameter satisfies the predetermined temperature threshold, then it is determined that the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition, i.e., it is determined that the object that operates on the display output area of the display unit is the first operating body, wherein in this embodiment, it is assumed that the first operating body is a finger of the user.
Next, when the first sensing parameter satisfies the first predetermined condition and the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition, a first control instruction is generated, and the display unit of the first display mode is lightened based on the first control instruction.
Accordingly, by means of adopting the above solution, it is possible to determine that a distance between the object that operates the electronic device and the display unit is within a distance threshold with the first sensing parameter acquired through the first sensor, and in addition, it is also possible to determine that the object that operates the electronic device is the first operating body with the second sensing parameter acquired through the second sensor, and the display unit is lightened when the two conditions are both satisfied concurrently. In this way, the user can rapidly lighten the display unit and avoid an error operation, thereby operate the electronic device, which enhances using experience of the user.

Further, determining the object in front of the display output area as the first operating body when the motion parameter of the second operating body represents that the second operating body moves from a first relative position to a second relative position comprises: initiating the first sensor when the motion parameter of the second operating body represents that the second operating body moves from a first relative position to a second relative position, and determining the object in front of the display output area as the first operating body when the first sensing parameter is sensed through the first sensor.
For example, when the first relative position is a side of the user's body, the second relative position is in front of the user' chest, and the electronic device is a smart phone, when the second sensor detects the motion parameter, which represents that the user moves the smart phone from the first relative position to the second relative position, the first sensor is initiated, i.e., step 202 is executed, in this case, it is determined what is acquired by the first sensor is the first sensing parameter generated by the first operating body when step 202 is executed, wherein the first operating body may be the user's finger.
As will be appreciated, when the electronic device is a smart watch, when it is determined that the smart watch moves from the first relative position to the second relative position, for example, the position as shown in
In this way, in addition to avoiding error operation, it is also possible to determine the first operating body of the user at a specified position, this improves the operating efficiency and accuracy of the electronic device.

First, a first sensing parameter is acquired through the infrared sensor; it is determined whether the first sensing parameter satisfies the first predetermined condition, i.e., whether a distance between the finger of the user and the display unit of the smart phone is within a distance threshold; meanwhile, a second sensing parameter, i.e., a temperature parameter, is acquired through the temperature sensor, when the temperature parameter satisfies the predetermined temperature threshold, then it is determined that the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition, i.e., it is determined that the object that operates on the display output area of the display unit is the first operating body, wherein in this embodiment, it is assumed that the first operating body is a finger of the user.
Next, when the first sensing parameter satisfies the first predetermined condition and the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition, a first control instruction is generated, and the display unit of the first display mode is lightened based on the first control instruction.
Accordingly, by means of adopting the above solution, it is possible to determine that a distance between the object that operates the electronic device and the display unit is within a distance threshold with the first sensing parameter acquired through the first sensor, and in addition, it is also possible to determine that the object that operates the electronic device is the first operating body with the second sensing parameter acquired through the second sensor, and the display unit is lightened when the two conditions are both satisfied concurrently. In this way, the user can rapidly lighten the display unit and avoid an error operation, thereby operate the electronic device, which enhances using experience of the user.
The embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, as shown in
The electronic device further comprises: a second sensor 83 configured to acquire a second sensing parameter; correspondingly, the information processing unit 82 is further configured to determine whether the second sensing parameter satisfies a second predetermined condition, the second predetermined condition being whether the object that operates on the display output area to which the display unit corresponds belongs to a first operating body; and generate a first control instruction when the first sensing parameter satisfies the first predetermined condition and the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition.
Herein, the electronic device may be a smart phone.
The first sensor may be an infrared sensor.
The first sensing parameter may be: when the first sensor is an infrared sensor, the first sensing parameter may be a distance parameter between an object that operates the electronic device and a display unit of the first display module.
The distance threshold may be a value preset according to a practical situation, for example, it may be 0, which shows the object that operates the electronic device and the display unit of the first display module are in a contacted state; or it may be 0.5 to 2 cm, which shows the object that operates the electronic device and the display unit of the first display module are in a close state.
The object that operates the electronic device may be finger of the user, eyes of the user, or head of the user.
The above second sensor may be a touch screen, then the second sensing parameter may be a touch period.
Correspondingly, the second predetermined condition may be: determining whether the object that operates on the display output area to which the display unit corresponds belongs to a first operating body by judging whether the touch period reaches a predetermined threshold, which may be 10 seconds; for example, when the user needs to lighten the display unit, he/she may touch any position in the display output area of the display unit, if the period reaches 10 seconds, then it is determined that the object that operates the display unit is the first operating body, that is, the finger of the user.
The above display output area may be a specified area, for example, it may be specified that the first operating body needs to operate on the intermediate area of the smart phone.
Alternatively, the above second sensor may be a temperature sensor, then the second sensing parameter is a temperature parameter.
The information processing unit is configured in particular to determine whether the object that operates on the display output area to which the display unit corresponds belongs to a first operating by judging whether the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition. For example, the basic human body temperature is between 35 to 40 degrees, so the predetermined temperature threshold may be 35 to 40 degrees, when the second sensor detects that the temperature of the first operating body is 36 degrees, then it is determined that the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition.
In this way, it is possible to further determine whether the operation comes from the first operating body by determining whether the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition, thereby it is ensured that the possibility of occurrence of a misjudgment is reduced.
There is no particular order and priority to execute the above operations of determining whether the second sensing parameter satisfies the second predetermined condition and determining whether the first sensing parameter satisfies the first predetermined condition, for example, it is allowed to first acquire the first sensing parameter of the first sensor and thereafter acquire the second sensing parameter of the second sensor; or alternatively, it is also possible to acquire and determine the first sensing parameter, and acquire and determine the second sensing parameter concurrently.
The second sensor is a sensor for sensing gesture, and is configured in particular to acquire a motion of a second operating body that wears or holds the electronic device; and acquire a second sensing parameter through a second sensor comprises: acquiring a motion parameter of the second operating body that wears or holds the electronic device through the second sensor as the second sensing parameter; correspondingly, the information processing unit is configured in particular to determine the object in front of the display output area as the first operating body when the motion parameter of the second operating body represents that the second operating body moves from a first relative position to a second relative position. As will be appreciated, when the electronic device is a smart phone, the second operating body may be a hand that holds the smart phone; when the electronic device is a smart ring, the second operating body may be a finger that wears the smart ring; when the electronic device is smart watch, the second operating body may a wrist that wears the smart watch

As will be appreciated, although the above
Further, the information processing unit is configured in particular to determine the object in front of the display output area as the first operating body in the case that the first sensor is initiated and the first sensing parameter is sensed through the first sensor when the motion parameter of the second operating body represents that the second operating body moves from a first relative position to a second relative position.
For example, when the first relative position is a side of the user's body, the second relative position is in front of the user' chest, and the electronic device is a smart phone, when the second sensor detects the motion parameter, which represents that the user moves the smart phone from the first relative position to the second relative position, the first sensor is initiated, i.e., step 202 is executed, in this case, it is determined what is acquired by the first sensor is the first sensing parameter generated by the first operating body when step 202 is executed, wherein the first operating body may be the user's finger.
As will be appreciated, when the electronic device is a smart watch, when it is determined that the smart watch moves from the first relative position to the second relative position, for example, the position as shown in
In this way, in addition to avoiding error operation, it is also possible to determine the first operating body of the user at a specified position, this improves the operating efficiency and accuracy of the electronic device.
Accordingly, by means of adopting the above solution, it is possible to determine that a distance between the object that operates the electronic device and the display unit is within a distance threshold with the first sensing parameter acquired through the first sensor, and in addition, it is also possible to determine that the object that operates the electronic device is the first operating body with the second sensing parameter acquired through the second sensor, and the display unit is lightened when the two conditions are both satisfied concurrently. In this way, the user can rapidly lighten the display unit and avoid an error operation, thereby operate the electronic device, which enhances using experience of the user.
