The present disclosure relates to the electronic field, and in particular to a terminal and an operation method thereof, a computer program and a carrier.
With the development of the mobile payment, more and more mobile phones are configured with the near field communication NFC function, and the users can easily swipe the bus card and pay the telephone charge. In addition, a NFC label also emerges in the market, and specific operations can be performed by using the mobile phones with the NFC function to scan the NFC label. The near field communication functions like NFC become more and more popular to the users, and the users can easily, quickly and interestingly perform some operations. However, to configure the NFC function for the cell phone, it is required to configure the corresponding chip and antenna for the cell phone, and the NFC function does not have the advantage on the road of pursuing thin and low-cost cell phone.
The capacitive touch screen is applied with the development of the smart phones, and the capacitive touch screen technology continues to develop. The capacitive touch screen is also known as an indispensable component of the terminals, such as, the smart phones, etc. The capacitive touch screen can not only be used to receive the signal of the finger, but also the two capacitive touch screens can transmit the signal therebetween. The signal sources for the signal collection of the capacitive touch screen are also gradually diversified.
A gesture recognition method recently appears for the capacitive touch screen, which can implement operations such as the lock screen operation, etc., through sliding the fingers on the capacitive touch screen to form different patterns, and satisfies the user to quickly achieve a certain specific application scenario very well. However, in that mode there is also a problem that the gestures of the user each time cannot be exactly the same, so there may be some misjudgment in the aspect of analyzing the user gestures.

Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in details by combining with the accompanying drawings.
It should be noted that, if there is no conflict, the embodiments of the present disclosure and various features of the embodiments can be combined with each other, which are all within the protection scope of the present disclosure. In addition, although the logic sequence is shown in the flow chart, in some cases, the shown or described steps can be executed in a sequence different from here.
Embodiment one, a terminal operation method includes that:
a terminal judges whether a surface of a capacitive touch screen of the terminal contacts a label; herein, the label includes a sensing area which is made of a conducting material and has a specific shape; and
the terminal recognizes the shape of the sensing area of the label when the surface of the capacitive touch screen of the terminal contacts the label; and
the terminal executes a corresponding operation according to the recognized shape.
The functions of the handheld terminal products, such as, intelligent cell phone, etc., are more and more, it is required to operate many steps to quickly find the application program or function in numerous application programs or functions, therefore, it is urgent for the user to simply and rapidly complete the operation. In addition, the capacitive touch screen has already become the standard configuration of all intelligent cell phones, and the capacitive touch screen is used to collect specific signals and then specific operations are performed. By that way, the required operations of the users can be performed conveniently and quickly, and especially in a certain application scenario, the users need such operations more. For example, when the user needs to enable the wireless fidelity WiFi function after returning home, to connect to the wireless network at home and to reduce the consumption of the 3G/4G traffic of the mobile phone; when the user gets on a car, the Bluetooth module of the mobile phone is enabled to connect the Bluetooth module of the mobile phone with the Bluetooth module of the car quickly; when the user needs to set an alarm clock, a settings interface can be quickly opened by scanning the label at the headboard, etc. In the present embodiments, the material through which the capacitance touch screen can collect a signal is made into a specific shape, which can be very stably recognized by the capacitive touch screen, therefore, it is quick and stable but also easy to achieve that the terminal with the capacitive touch screen recognizes a label with a specific shape, and executes a specific function.
In an implementation mode of the present embodiment, the label is made of plastic or paper as substrate, and the substrate is provided with a sheet metal or other conductive material as a sensing area. Herein, the sheet metal or other conductive material is made into a specific shape. The specific shape may be a specific outline, a figure, a covering area, etc., such as a cartoon pattern, a letter, a geometric figure, and the like. Accordingly, the shape recognized by the terminal includes: an outline, figure and area of the sensing area. The size of the sensing area may be scanned and recognized by the capacitive touch screen. Generally, the size of the sensing area is less than the size of the normal capacitive touch screen.
In an implementation mode of the present embodiment, the sensing area on the label is also connected to the finger contact area or the ground by a conducting wire. The grounding function is realized when a finger of the user presses the contact area. A large enough metal area also may be used as the ground.
In an exemplary embodiment, the finger touch area 23 may adopt a material containing more charges, so that the touch area 23 may be used as a ground individually, and the grounding function of the sensing area is realized without contacting with the finger.
In an exemplary embodiment, the sensing area only can be sensed by the capacitive touch screen after being grounded.
In an implementation mode of the present embodiment, the step of judging, by a terminal, whether a surface of a capacitive touch screen of the terminal contacts a label may include:
when the terminal is in a working state, a touch screen chip of the terminal detects capacitance change information of the capacitive touch screen of the terminal in real time; when the terminal is in the standby state (when the whole terminal is in the standby state, there is no data exchanging between the touch screen chip and Central Processing Unit CPU of the terminal), the touch screen chip of the terminal periodically detects the capacitance change information of the capacitive touch screen of the terminal; and
when the touch screen chip detects that a capacitance signal of the capacitive touch screen changes and the touch screen chip collects a stable capacitance distribution area, it is judged that what the capacitive touch screen contacts is the sensing area of the label, and determined that the capacitive touch screen has already contacted the label.
The present implementation mode uses the sensing area of the label to judge whether the label contacts the capacitive touch screen of the terminal. If the touch screen chip detects the capacitance change signal of which the position changes, it is indicated that the user is operating the terminal (for example, a finger slides on the screen or performs a gesture operation). If there is only the capacitance change signal at one point, it is indicated that the user is performing a long-press operation or the like. If a stable capacitance distribution area is collected, then it is indicated that the capacitive touch screen contacts a conductive area beyond the fingertip area, and contacts the sensing region.
In an implementation mode of the present embodiment, before the step that the terminal recognizes the shape of the sensing area of the label, the method further may include:
recognizing an angle of rotation of the sensing area and whether a front side and a back side of the sensing area are inversed based on a positioning plate at a specific position of the sensing area.
For example, in
In an implementation mode of the present embodiment, the step that the terminal recognizes the shape of the sensing area of the label specifically may include:
the touch screen chip of the terminal collects capacitance signal state change information of the capacitive touch screen of the terminal, and generates a corresponding static capacitance distribution map; and
the static capacitance distribution map is compared with pre-stored original matching information; and
when the static capacitance distribution map is matched with at least one piece of the original matching information, it is determined that the shape of the sensing area of the label is already recognized.
In the present implementation mode, the method may also include the step of pre-storing the original matching information, which may include:
the touch screen chip of the terminal respectively generates static capacitance distribution maps corresponding to the labels as the original matching information for storage according to the capacitive signal state change information of the capacitive touch screen when various labels contact the capacitive touch screen of the terminal.
In the present implementation mode, the original matching information may be stored to the memory of the terminal or a storage space built in the touch screen chip; and may also be uploaded to a server on the Internet for storage.
In that way, different original matching information may be stored for multiple labels respectively.
In an alternative scheme of the present implementation mode, when the original matching information is stored, the terminal may also select the operation corresponding to the original matching information.
The terminal may use the pop-up dialog box or the like for the user to select the corresponding operation. Or, the user defines the operation corresponding to the original matching information in a setting interface. A corresponding relation between the original matching information and the operation may also be established through other modes.
In the present alternative scheme, the step of the terminal executing the corresponding operation according to the recognized shape specifically may include:
the terminal performs an operation corresponding to the original matching information matched with the generated static capacitance distribution map, for example, opening a Bluetooth switch, etc.
If the original matching information is pre-stored in a server on the internet, then the terminal uploads the generated static capacitance distribution map to the server, and the server retrieves the pre-stored original matching information, and returns the operation corresponding to the successfully matched original matching information to the terminal for operation.
The present embodiment is illustrated by two specific examples hereinafter.
The first example, as shown in
In step 101, a metal or conductive material sheet is equipped on a plastic or paper sheet, herein the sheet area is a sensing area, and the whole is regarded as a label.
In step 102, the capacitive touch screen of the terminal is close to the label, and the touch screen chip judges whether the label is contacted by the capacitance touch screen.
The step 102 may include the following operations.
When the terminal is in a working state, the touch screen chip detects the capacitance change information of the capacitance touch screen in real time. When the touch screen chip detects the capacitance change signal of which the position changes, it is indicated that the user is operating. When the touch screen chip detects that the capacitance signal changes and the touch screen chip collects a stable capacitance distribution area, it is indicated that what the touch screen chip contacts is the sensing area of the label. When the touch screen chip determines that it is the sensing area of the label, it is determined that the label contacts the terminal.
When the terminal is in a standby state, the whole terminal is in the standby state, now there is no data exchanging between the touch screen chip and the terminal CPU, and the touch screen chip periodically detects the capacitance change information of the capacitance touch screen. When the touch screen chip detects the capacitance change signal of which the position changes, it is indicated that the user is operating. When the touch screen chip detects that the capacitance signal changes and the touch screen chip collects a stable capacitance distribution area, it is indicated that what the touch screen chip contacts is the sensing area of the label. When the touch screen chip determines that it is the sensing area of the label, it is determined that the label contacts the terminal.
In step 103, the signal collected by the capacitive touch screen is consistent with the original matching information pre-stored in the memory, and then the set operation is executed.
After the shape of the sensing area in the label is detected in the step 102, the shape (the static capacitance distribution map) is matched with the original matching information pre-stored in the touch screen chip or the memory built in the terminal. It is determined that the sensing area of the label is already detected when the static capacitance distribution map is consistent with the original matching information. Herein, the step of pre-storing the original matching information includes: the terminal generates the original matching information according to the capacitance signal state change information generated when the label contacts the capacitive touch screen of the terminal, and then stores the original matching information into the terminal memory or the storage space built in the touch screen chip.
Herein, when the matching is successful, the operation corresponding to the pre-stored original matching information is started. Herein, when the terminal obtains the pattern in the label for the first time, the terminal may prompt the user which operation is pointed by the pattern; and the user selects an operation, the correspondence between the operation and the original matching information is completed after confirmation.
By taking the Bluetooth as an example, the capacitive touch screen of the terminal collects a static capacitance distribution map when contacting one label and regards the static capacitance distribution map as the original matching information to store in the storage area, and the original matching information is pointed to opening the Bluetooth function. When the capacitive touch screen of the terminal collects the static capacitance distribution map matched with the original matching information, the terminal opens the Bluetooth.
Herein, the terminal may not only open the Bluetooth, but also may point to opening the WiFi, opening the camera, contacts and other applications. The terminal also may perform other operations.
Herein, when the terminal is scanning a label, if the original matching information matched with the label cannot be found in the memory, the label may be regarded to be used for the first time, and the terminal provides the user with a selection of storing the original matching information of the label and pointing to a specific operation.
The second example is shown in
In step 201, in a pre-set stage, the capacitive touch screen of the terminal respectively contacts the sensing areas of various labels, regards the generated static capacitance distribution maps as the original matching information corresponding to the labels, and uploads the original matching information corresponding to the labels together with the preset operation pointings corresponding to the original matching information to the Internet server.
In step 202, in a working stage, after the capacitive touch screen of the terminal contacts the sensing figure of the label, the generated static capacitance distribution map is uploaded to the server, and the server retrieves the matched original matching information and feeds back the operation pointing corresponding to the retrieved original matching information.
In step 203, after the terminal receives the operation pointing, the terminal performs the corresponding operation.
Embodiment two, a terminal, as shown in
The touch screen chip 42 is arranged to judge whether a surface of the capacitive touch screen 41 contacts a label; recognize a shape of a sensing area of the label when the surface contacts the label. Herein, the label includes a sensing area which is made of a conducting material and has a specific shape.
The processor 43 is arranged to execute a corresponding operation according to the recognized shape.
In an implementation mode of the present embodiment, the touch screen chip 41 judging whether a surface of the capacitive touch screen 41 of the present terminal contacts a label refers to that:
when the terminal is in a working state, the touch screen chip 42 detects capacitance change information of the capacitive touch screen 41 in real time; when the terminal is in a standby state, the touch screen chip 42 detects the capacitance change information of the capacitive touch screen 41 periodically; and
when the touch screen chip 42 detects that a capacitance signal of the capacitive touch screen 41 changes and the touch screen chip 42 collects a stable capacitance distribution area, it is judged that what the capacitive touch screen 41 contacts is the sensing area of the label, and determined that the capacitive touch screen 41 has already contacted the label.
In an implementation mode of the present embodiment, the step that the touch screen chip 42 recognizes the shape of the sensing area of the label includes:
the touch screen chip 42 collects capacitance signal state change information of the capacitive touch screen 41, and generates a corresponding static capacitance distribution map; and the static capacitance distribution map is compared with pre-stored original matching information; and when the static capacitance distribution map is matched with at least one piece of the original matching information, it is determined that the shape of the sensing area of the label is already recognized.
In the implementation mode, when the matching is not successful, it may also be prompted that the pointing operation is not set for the label, and the pointing operation may be set for the label.
In the implementation mode, when the original matching information is pre-stored in an Internet server, the processor 43 executing a corresponding operation according to the recognized shape refers to that:
the processor 43 uploads the generated static capacitance distribution map to the server to retrieve matched original matching information, and executes a corresponding processing according to an operation which is corresponding to retrieved original matching information and returned by the server 43.
If the original matching information is stored locally in the terminal, then after the label contacts the capacitive touch screen 41 of the terminal, the touch screen chip 42 detects the capacitance signal change state information, and matches the capacitance signal change state information with the pre-set original matching information. The processor 43 executes the operation pointed by the preset original matching information after the matching is successful.
