Based on the above mobile terminal hardware structure and communication network system, the present invention provides various embodiments of the method.

Example one

An embodiment of the present invention provides an information input method, and fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an implementation flow of the information input method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the method includes the following steps:

step S301, a first operation is received.

Here, the step S301 of receiving the first operation may be implemented by a terminal, and further may be a mobile terminal, for example, a mobile terminal with a wireless communication capability, such as a mobile phone (mobile phone) with a touch function, an iPad, a notebook, and the like, and the mobile terminal includes at least a touch screen, and the touch screen is deformable.

In the related art, there are several solutions for a deformable touch screen. For example, soft input-output components may be built into an electronic device. The technology can be applied to the current LCD or OLED panel in the future, and can become a potential solution in flexible screen design products.

The flexible input-output display screen with built-in sensors and force feedback systems has elasticity as a whole and feels like an elastic body. To enhance the flexibility of the substrate, the necessary light emitting components (LEDs, micro-LEDs and OLEDs) need to be placed, the input mechanism and the conductive traces forming a grid-shaped interconnection path. These interconnecting paths may be straight, serpentine or undulating up and down, which may better facilitate stretching or bending of the screen.

More importantly, this technique requires thinning or completely removing the underlying polymer substrate layer, leaving a network of "electronic units" or "island structures". This design arrangement is well suited to handle bending or stretching deformations in one or more dimensions without causing cracking or breaking of the screen.

In addition to bending or stretching, such a deformable display screen may also house a range of in-vehicle sensors and other components now common in smartphones, such as touch sensors, force sensors, strain gauges, light sensors, etc.

This touch screen that can deform has a lot of nodes that can deform, through detecting touch event, triggers the node deformation that can deform of relevant position as required, and then reaches the effect of wanting.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first operation is used to invoke a keyboard used for information input. For example, the first operation is a click operation performed in an information input window, where the information input window may be a window of an information recording application such as a notepad, a chat window of an instant messaging application, an authentication code input window of a payment application, or a password input window of a payment application, and so on, that is, a keyboard used for performing information input may be invoked according to a click behavior of a user in the information input window.

Step S302, determining the position information of the keyboard on the touch screen.

Here, the step S302 of determining the position information of the keyboard on the touch screen may be implemented by the terminal.

In other embodiments of the present invention, in the implementation process of determining the position information of the keyboard on the touch screen, the gesture of the terminal may be determined first, and then the format of the keyboard to be used and the position information of the keyboard on the touch screen are determined according to the gesture of the terminal.

The attitude of the terminal as referred to herein may also be understood as a holding attitude in which the user holds the terminal, such as a lateral holding or a longitudinal holding. Corresponding to whether the terminal is in landscape or portrait orientation. When the terminal is in the horizontal posture, the keyboard format to be used may be a full keyboard format, and at this time, the position of the screen area corresponding to the keyboard on the touch screen is an area where the side edge of the touch screen of the terminal is a certain distance upward. When the terminal is in a vertical posture, the keyboard format to be used may be a 9-grid format, and the position of the screen area corresponding to the keyboard on the touch screen is an area where the lower edge of the touch screen of the terminal is a certain distance upward.

The use of the full keyboard when the posture of the terminal is landscape and the use of the 9-grid keyboard when the posture of the terminal is portrait are merely exemplary illustrations, and of course, the 9-grid keyboard may be used when the posture of the terminal is landscape or the full keyboard may be used when the posture of the terminal is portrait. The keyboard format used by the terminal posture can be set by the user according to the use habit of the user.

Step S303, controlling the screen area corresponding to the keyboard to deform according to the position information of the keyboard on the touch screen.

Here, the step S303 may be implemented by the terminal, for controlling the screen area corresponding to the keyboard to deform according to the position information of the keyboard on the touch screen.

In other embodiments of the present invention, the screen area corresponding to the keyboard is deformed, so that the screen area corresponding to the keyboard forms a simulated physical keyboard, and a certain gap is formed between the keys in the keyboard, which can reduce the possibility of false touch.

The control of the deformation of the screen area corresponding to the keyboard can be realized by, but not limited to, the following ways:

in the first mode, the screen area corresponding to each key in the keyboard is controlled to deform;

in the second mode, the screen area corresponding to the gap between the adjacent keys in the keyboard is controlled to deform;

in other embodiments of the invention, the deformation comprises a certain height of the protrusion or a certain depth of the recess. And the height of the projection or the depth of the recess may be set in advance.

It should be noted that, in the first mode, the deformation is a certain height of protrusion, that is, a certain height of protrusion of a screen area corresponding to each key in the keyboard is controlled; in the second mode, the deformation is recessed to a certain depth, that is, the screen area corresponding to the gap between the adjacent keys in the keyboard is controlled to be recessed to a certain depth.

And step S304, inputting information according to the received second operation.

Here, the step S304 of inputting information according to the received second operation may be implemented by the terminal. The second operation is an operation acting on the screen area corresponding to the keyboard after the deformation occurs, the second operation may be sent by an operation body for information input, and the operation body may be a finger of a user or a stylus.

When the operation body sends the second operation to the screen area that takes place the deformation back that the keyboard corresponds, detect the contact pressure that the second operation produced, according to the linear control of the pressure of this contact deformation has taken place the screen area that the second operation acted on produces sunken deformation once more, when the operation body retrieves and presses the pressure degree, sunken deformation resumes thereupon, and then simulates the pressing effect of physical button, can give the touch-control impression of user's physical button like this.

The information input method provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the steps of firstly receiving a first operation, wherein the first operation is used for calling a keyboard used for information input; determining the position information of the keyboard on the touch screen; then controlling a screen area corresponding to the keyboard to deform according to the position information of the keyboard on the touch screen; and performing information input according to the received second operation, wherein the second operation during the information input is an operation acting on the screen area corresponding to the deformed keyboard, that is, the keyboard used during the information input is a keyboard with the same touch feeling as the physical keyboard, and the touch control area of each key is separated, so that the touch feedback of the physical keyboard can be provided during the information input, and the false touch can be reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of the information input.

Example two

Based on the foregoing embodiments, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an information input method, which is applied to a terminal, where the terminal at least includes a deformable touch screen. Fig. 4 is a schematic view of an implementation flow of another information input method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 4, the method includes the following steps:

in step S401, the terminal receives a first operation.

Here, the first operation is to call up a keyboard used for information input.

Step S402, the terminal determines the posture of the terminal.

Here, the terminal may determine its own posture from a gravity sensor or a gyro sensor built in the terminal. The attitude of the terminal includes at least a landscape attitude and a portrait attitude.

Of course, the posture of the terminal may also be understood as a holding posture in which the user holds the terminal. In the implementation process of determining the holding posture of the user, the coordinate information of the fingers of the user holding the terminal on the touch screen of the terminal may be determined, and then the holding posture of the user holding the terminal may be determined according to the coordinate information of the fingers on the touch screen of the terminal. For example, if it is detected that the positions of the fingers of the user holding the terminal are located on the left and right sides of the touch screen of the terminal, it may be determined that the holding posture of the user holding the terminal is a portrait holding, that is, the state of the terminal is a portrait; if the positions of the fingers of the user holding the terminal are detected to be positioned at the upper side and the lower side of the touch screen of the terminal, the holding posture of the user holding the terminal can be determined to be horizontal holding, namely the state of the terminal is horizontal.

The above method for determining the terminal pose is only an exemplary illustration, and those skilled in the art may utilize the technical idea of the present invention, and other ways for determining the terminal pose according to their specific requirements are within the protection scope of the present invention, and are not exhaustive here.

Step S403, the terminal determines the format of the keyboard used for information input and the position information of the keyboard on the touch screen according to the posture of the terminal.

Here, the terminal stores a correspondence relationship between the posture of the terminal and the format of the keyboard used for inputting information. The corresponding relation may be preset by a terminal manufacturer before the terminal leaves a factory, for example, when the terminal is in a longitudinal posture, the keyboard format used is 9 grids; when the terminal is in the horizontal posture, the keyboard format used is full keyboard. Of course, the corresponding relationship may also be set by the user according to the use habit of the user, for example, some users are used to use the 9-grid keyboard, so that no matter the terminal posture is horizontal or vertical, the user wants to use the 9-grid keyboard, and then the user can set the terminal posture to be horizontal or vertical, and use the 9-grid keyboard. Also, some users are accustomed to using the full keyboard, and then he can set the terminal in both landscape and portrait orientations using the full keyboard.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a 9-grid keyboard is used as an example when the posture of the terminal is vertical and the posture of the terminal is vertical.

And S404, the terminal determines a deformation area according to the position information of the keyboard on the touch screen.

Here, when the posture of the terminal is vertical, that is, the terminal is in the vertical screen use mode, a 9-grid keyboard input interface is formed, and according to a coordinate interval (position information) of a screen area corresponding to the 9-grid keyboard on the whole touch screen, a position of the screen area corresponding to each key (grid) in the 9-grid in the screen area corresponding to the whole 9-grid keyboard is further determined.

And determining a deformation area according to the position of the screen area corresponding to each key in the screen area corresponding to the whole 9-grid keyboard. The area of each deformation area is smaller than that of the screen area corresponding to each key, the shape of each deformation area can be the same as that of each key, and the distance between the periphery of each deformation area and the periphery of each key is a preset distance.

And S405, the terminal controls the deformation area to deform.

Here, the terminal controls the deformation area to deform, which may be that the terminal selects the node covered in the deformation area to trigger deformation, so as to form a deformation effect, that is, an effect of a simulated physical keyboard.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may control the deformation of the deformation region by controlling the deformation region to protrude by a certain height. The height may be set by the manufacturer of the terminal when the terminal leaves the factory, or may be set by the user of the terminal according to the needs of the user.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a terminal interface for inputting information in the related art, and as shown in fig. 5, when inputting information, a screen area 501 corresponding to a keyboard is flat, which cannot provide a user with a touch feeling simulating a physical keyboard, and is prone to false touch.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a terminal interface for inputting information according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 6, a screen area 601 corresponding to a key in a 9-grid keyboard for inputting information protrudes a certain height to form a simulated physical keyboard.

Step S406, the terminal determines whether a second operation is received.

Here, the second operation is an operation that acts on the screen area corresponding to the keyboard after the deformation occurs.

If the terminal receives the second operation, step S407 is entered; and if the terminal does not receive the second operation, ending the process.

And step S407, the terminal inputs information according to the received second operation.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the terminal, in step S404, determining a deformation area according to the position information of the keyboard on the touch screen may be implemented by:

step S404a, the terminal determines, according to the format of the keyboard and the position information of the keyboard on the touch screen, the position information of the screen area on the touch screen corresponding to the key in the keyboard;

step S404b, the terminal determines, according to the position information of the screen area corresponding to the key on the touch screen, an area obtained by inwardly reducing a preset distance value of a frame of the screen area corresponding to the key as a deformation area.

In other embodiments of the present invention, the step S407 may be implemented by:

step 407a, the terminal determines a pressure value generated by the received second operation on the screen area corresponding to the key;
