The function of the electronic equipment is selected and switched on the touch pen by arranging at least one of the touch display screen and the physical switching button on the touch pen, so that a user does not need to input a function switching instruction on the electronic equipment, the process that the function menu is called out on the electronic equipment firstly and then is hidden on the electronic equipment is omitted, the target function selected by the electronic equipment can be automatically triggered through the touch pen, the electronic equipment can execute processing operation corresponding to the target function on the target object, the function switching step of the electronic equipment is simplified, and the operation rapidness, flexibility and diversity of the electronic equipment are improved.

Fig. 2 is a first flowchart illustrating a control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method in fig. 2 can be executed by the stylus 200 in fig. 1, and particularly by a program module disposed in the stylus 200, as shown in fig. 2, the method at least includes the following steps:

s201, receiving target input of a user on a touch display screen and/or a physical switching button;

specifically, the stylus may be provided with a touch display screen, and correspondingly, a user performs a touch operation on the touch display screen, and the stylus determines a target input on the touch display screen according to the detected touch operation; the touch display screen can be a flexible touch display screen, can be arranged at any position of the stylus body, and can be used for inputting selection information aiming at function options;

the stylus pen can also be provided with a physical switching button, correspondingly, a user performs gear switching operation on the physical switching button, and the stylus pen determines target input at the physical switching button according to the detected gear switching operation; the physical switching button can be a pressing entity key or a rotatable entity knob, and can also be arranged at any position of the stylus pen body, and the selection information aiming at the function options can be input through the physical switching button;

the stylus pen can also be simultaneously provided with a touch display screen and a physical switching button, correspondingly, a current function is displayed on the touch display screen, a user performs gear switching operation on the physical switching button by combining the current function, and the stylus pen determines target input for indicating a target function to be set according to the detected gear switching operation.

S202, responding to the target input, controlling the electronic equipment to select a target function so that the electronic equipment performs corresponding processing on a target object based on the target function;

wherein, the target function includes: copy, paste, delete, switch, enlarge, reduce etc. conventional function options, the target function also includes: function options for a particular application, such as functions like brush, lasso, etc. in a cropping application;

for example, if a click operation of a user on a copy identifier on a touch display screen is detected, it is determined that the indication information corresponding to the target input is switched to the copy function, and correspondingly, it is determined that the target function is the copy function; for another example, if it is detected that the user switches the shift position of the physical switch button to the n-th position, and the n-th position corresponds to the paste function, it is determined that the instruction information corresponding to the target input is switched to the paste function, and correspondingly, the target function is determined to be the paste function.

Specifically, in a process of triggering the electronic device to perform function switching, the stylus sends identification information of a target function to the electronic device, so that the electronic device switches an operation function to the target function, that is, selects the target function; and the electronic equipment executes processing operation corresponding to the target function on the selected target object.

For example, if the target function is copy, then copy operation is performed on the selected target object; if the target function is paste, paste the copied target object to the designated area; for another example, if the target function is zoom-in, a zoom-in operation is performed on the selected target object. The user can select the target object on the electronic device through the touch pen, and can also select the target object through touch operation on the target object on the electronic device.

In specific implementation, taking copy-pasting a target text in the application program 1 into the application program 2 on the electronic device as an example, as shown in fig. 3a, if the touch pen detects a click operation of a user on a copy identifier on the touch display screen, determining that a target function is a copy function, displaying the copy function on the touch display screen, and sending identifier information of the copy function to the electronic device; the electronic device selects a copy function, and if the electronic device detects that a target text in a first area (namely, a copy area) under a display interface of the application 1 is selected by a stylus, a copy operation is performed on the target text.

Correspondingly, as shown in fig. 3b, after the electronic device finishes copying the target text, if the stylus detects a click operation of the user on the paste identifier on the touch display screen, it determines that the target function is the paste function, displays the paste function on the touch display screen, and sends identifier information of the paste function to the electronic device; and selecting a paste function by the electronic equipment, and pasting the copied target text to a second area (namely a paste area) under the display interface of the application 2 if the electronic equipment detects that the touch pen selects the second area.

In the embodiment of the invention, at least one of the touch display screen and the physical switching button is arranged on the touch pen, so that the function of the electronic equipment is selected and switched on the touch pen, a function switching instruction does not need to be input on the electronic equipment by a user, the process that the function menu is called out on the electronic equipment and then the function menu is hidden is omitted, the target function can be automatically triggered to be selected by the electronic equipment through the touch pen, the electronic equipment can execute the processing operation corresponding to the target function on the target object, the function switching step of the electronic equipment is simplified, and the operation rapidness, the flexibility and the diversity of the electronic equipment are improved.

Furthermore, because the function options required by the stylus are determined by the function options of the electronic device, function setting needs to be performed at the stylus end in advance based on the function options of the electronic device, that is, the function options used on the electronic device are synchronized to the stylus; in view of the fact that more and more function options exist and there is a certain difference between function options of different applications, in order to improve the selection efficiency of the target function, a respective function selection menu may be set for different applications, based on which, as shown in fig. 4, before receiving the target input of the user on the touch display screen and/or the physical switch button in the above S201, the method further includes:

s203, receiving a function synchronization request sent by the electronic equipment, wherein the function synchronization request carries identification information of a target application and identification information of a first function;

and S204, adding options corresponding to the first function in a function selection menu corresponding to the target application of the stylus end.

Specifically, a general function selection menu may be set for different application programs, the function selection menu may be summarized with options corresponding to selectable functions of each application program, and respective function selection menus may be set for different application programs, so that a selection range of a target function may be narrowed, selection pertinence of the target function may be improved, and selection efficiency of the target function may be improved. In addition, on the touch control pen, the function options in the synchronized function selection menu of a certain application can be viewed and edited.

Similarly, an option corresponding to the second function and an option corresponding to the third function may also be added to the function selection menu corresponding to the target application, and the specific process is a process of adding an option corresponding to the first function, and is not described herein again.

As shown in fig. 5, taking synchronizing the functions supported by the application n to the stylus as an example, displaying a function option list of the application n on the electronic device, and if the electronic device detects that the user selects the paste function, sending the identification information of the application n and the identification information of the paste function to the stylus; the stylus adds the paste function to the function selection menu of the application n, and similarly, the copy function, the cut function, the zoom-in function, and the zoom-out function may be synchronized to the stylus.

If the touch pen is provided with a touch display screen and is previously aimed at a target application, setting a function selection menu of the target application, wherein an option corresponding to a first function is added in the function selection menu;

correspondingly, on the basis of fig. 4, as shown in fig. 6a, the step S201 of receiving a target input of a user on the touch display screen and/or the physical switch button specifically includes:

s2011, displaying, on the touch display screen, a function selection menu to which the option corresponding to the first function is added;

and S2012, receiving a target input of the function selection menu after the option corresponding to the first function is added on the touch display screen by the user.

Specifically, a user may have a requirement for switching to a certain function in the process of operating a certain application by the electronic device, for example, the first function is a target function that the user needs to select; correspondingly, the electronic equipment sends the identification information of the currently running application to the touch pen; after receiving the identification information, the stylus calls a function selection menu corresponding to the identification information and displays the function selection menu on the touch display screen, so that a user can perform touch operation on the touch display screen based on the function selection menu and input target input for representing the selected first function; the touch operation may be a click operation or a slide operation. Or, if the stylus pen further has a physical switching button, the user may perform a shift switching operation on the physical switching button based on the function selection menu, and input a target input for representing the selected first function, where the shift switching operation may be a pressing operation or a rotating operation.

Meanwhile, in the case of receiving a target input of the user on the touch display screen and/or the physical switching button, an icon of the currently selected function is displayed on the touch display screen to identify the function currently selected by the user, so that the user can quickly select a desired target function.

Furthermore, considering that the switching signal feedback of the physical switching button is stronger, and under the condition that a multi-level function submenu is not required to be arranged, the switching instruction input of the multi-level function is realized, and on the basis, if the touch pen is provided with the physical switching button;

correspondingly, as shown in fig. 6b, in the step S201, receiving a target input of a user on the touch display screen and/or the physical switch button specifically includes:

s2013, receiving a first input of a user on a physical switching button;

s2014, if the parameter setting request is detected within the preset time, receiving a second input of the user on the physical switch button, where the second input includes: setting input aiming at the parameters of the target function corresponding to the first input;

s2015, determining a combination of the received first input and second input as a target input.

Specifically, for a situation that a specific parameter selection is included in a certain function, a multi-level function selection menu can be set for the function, and after one function is selected, a user selects a specific parameter for the function by entering a parameter setting interface of the function step by step on a touch display screen, so as to realize switching instruction input of the multi-level function; the switching instruction input of the multi-level function can be realized directly through the physical switching button under the condition that the multi-level function submenu is not required to be arranged.

For example, in the case of a two-level function setting, for switching the function to the enlargement or reduction function, the enlargement factor or the reduction factor may also be set;

specifically, as shown in fig. 7a, a user performs a shift switching operation on a physical switching button to switch a current function to an amplification function, that is, receives a first input of the user on the physical switching button, where the first input is used to represent switching to the amplification function; if the pressing operation of the user on the preset key is detected within the preset time, it is determined that the parameter setting request is detected within the preset time, and the user continues to perform the gear switching operation on the physical switching button, where the gear switching operation is used for representing the switching selection of the trigger amplification factor, and switches the current function to the amplification function and amplifies the current function by 150%, that is, receives a second input of the user on the physical switching button, where the second input is used for representing the switching to the amplification by 150%, that is, the second input includes: a setting input for the magnification of the magnification function.

For another example, taking a three-level function as an example, for switching the function to the color setting function, the color type may also be set, and for switching the function to the currently selected color type, the color transparency of the color type may also be set;

specifically, as shown in fig. 7b, the user performs a gear shift operation on the physical switch button to switch the current function to the color setting function, that is, receives a first input of the user on the physical switch button, where the first input is used to represent switching to the color setting function; if the pressing operation of the user on the preset key is detected within the preset time, it is determined that the parameter setting request is detected within the preset time, and the user continues to perform the gear switching operation on the physical switching button, where the gear switching operation is used for representing the switching selection of the trigger color type, and switches the current function to the color setting function and selects red, that is, receives a second input of the user on the physical switching button, where the second input is used for representing the switching to the color being red, that is, the second input includes: a setting input for a color type of the color setting function.

Further, if the pressing operation of the user on the preset key is detected within the preset time, it is determined that the parameter setting request is detected within the preset time, and the user continues to perform the shift switching operation on the physical switching button, where the shift switching operation is used to represent a switching selection for triggering transparency, switch the current function to the color setting function and select red and the transparency is 80%, that is, receive a second input of the user on the physical switching button, where the second input is used to represent a switching to the transparency of red is 80%, that is, the second input includes: a setting input for the transparency of the selected red color. The second input for representing switching to the color red is used as a new first input, and the second input for representing switching to the color red with the transparency of 80% is the second input for the first input, and at this time, a combination of the first input for representing switching to the color setting function, the new first input for representing switching to the color red, and the second input for representing switching to the color red with the transparency of 80% is determined as a target input. Similarly, for a function setting of more stages, the above process may be adopted to determine the target input, and details are not repeated here.

Further, in order to enable a user to more intuitively know the currently selected function so as to quickly and accurately switch the target function of the electronic device on the stylus, based on this, if the stylus has a touch display screen and a physical switch button, target input of the user on the touch display screen and the physical switch button is received;

correspondingly, taking the determination process of the first input as an example, the determination process of the second input is similar, specifically, in step S2013, receiving the first input of the user on the physical switch button specifically includes:

step one, under the condition that gear switching operation aiming at a physical switching button is detected, function selection prompt information is displayed on a touch display screen;

wherein, the function option prompt message includes: at least one of a currently selected function corresponding to a current shift position, a previous selectable function corresponding to a previous shift position, and a subsequent selectable function corresponding to a subsequent shift position; the method includes the steps that a plurality of selectable function options are displayed on a touch display screen according to a preset sequence, wherein the currently selected function options can be displayed in a selected mode.

And step two, receiving a first input of the user on the physical switching button based on the function option prompt information.

During specific implementation, the currently selected function corresponding to the current switching gear is displayed on the touch display screen, and the previous selectable function corresponding to the previous switching gear and the subsequent selectable function corresponding to the subsequent switching gear can be displayed on the touch display screen at the same time, so that a user can be effectively guided to switch between functions more intuitively through gear switching operation of the physical switching button, and the target function required to be selected is quickly and accurately switched.

In order to further improve the switching efficiency of the target function and reduce the input times of the target input of the user on the stylus, the received target input may correspond to at least two selectable functions, and then the electronic device automatically selects one selectable function from the received target input as the target function to be finally executed, based on which, if the target function includes: at least two optional functions;

correspondingly, the electronic device performs corresponding processing on the target object based on the target function, and specifically includes:

the electronic equipment determines the touch operation type of a target object by a touch pen;

the electronic equipment determines an optional function corresponding to the touch operation type;

and the electronic equipment executes processing operation corresponding to the determined optional function on the target object.

Specifically, for the situation that at least two selectable functions can be determined based on the received target input, the electronic device may determine the currently selected target function in combination with the touch operation type of the stylus on the target object, so that the switching efficiency of the target function can be further improved, and the number of times of target input by the user on the stylus is reduced.

In specific implementation, taking at least two selectable functions as zooming-in and zooming-out as an example, if the electronic device detects that the stylus performs an outward dragging operation on the target object, determining the selectable function as a zooming-in function; and if the condition that the touch pen executes inward dragging operation on the target object is detected, determining that the selectable function is a zoom-out function.

Further, considering that there may be a case where two operation functions associated with each other are respectively executed on different electronic devices, based on this, if the target input includes: a third input and a fourth input, the target function comprising: a first function corresponding to a third input and a second function corresponding to a fourth input, the electronic device for controlling comprising: a first device and a second device;

correspondingly, in step S202, in response to the target input, the electronic device is controlled to select a target function, so that the electronic device performs corresponding processing on the target object based on the target function, which specifically includes:

step one, responding to a third input, controlling first equipment to select a first function so that the first equipment performs corresponding processing on a target object based on the first function;

step two, receiving a processed target object sent by the first equipment;

and step three, responding to a fourth input, controlling the second equipment to select a second function so that the second equipment performs corresponding processing on the processed target object based on the second function.

Specifically, the stylus pen sends the processed target object received from the first device to the second device, so that the second device performs corresponding processing on the processed target object based on the second function.

The target text on the first electronic device can be copied and pasted to the second electronic device through the touch pen under the condition that the first electronic device and the second electronic device are not networked.

In specific implementation, as shown in fig. 8a and 8b, taking the first function as a copy function and the second function as a paste function as an example, the target text is copied in the display interface 1 of the first electronic device, and the target text is pasted in the display interface 2 of the second electronic device;

specifically, in fig. 8a, if the stylus detects a click operation of the user on the copy identifier on the touch display screen, it determines that the target function is the copy function, displays the copy function on the touch display screen, and sends identifier information of the copy function to the first electronic device; the first electronic device switches the operation function to a copy function, that is, the first electronic device selects the copy function, and if the first electronic device detects that the stylus pen selects the target text in the first area (that is, the copy area) of the display interface 1, the first electronic device performs a copy operation on the target text.

The target text needs to be copied from one electronic device to another electronic device, that is, needs to be switched to a second electronic device for pasting operation, so that the copied target text needs to be sent to the touch pen, the touch pen sends the copied target text to the second electronic device, and the second electronic device pastes the target text to a designated area;

specifically, after the first electronic device finishes copying the target text and sends the target text to the stylus, in fig. 8b, if the stylus detects a click operation of a user on a paste identifier on the touch display screen, it determines that the target function is a paste function, displays the paste function on the touch display screen, and sends identifier information of the paste function to the second electronic device; the second electronic device switches the operation function to the paste function, that is, the second electronic device selects the paste function, and if the second electronic device detects that the stylus selects the second area (that is, the paste area) in the display interface 2, obtains the copied target text sent by the stylus, and pastes the copied target text to the second area.

It should be noted that, the above is only illustrated by the copy function and the paste function, and the same applies to the case where two other related operation functions are respectively executed on different electronic devices, and details are not described herein again.

According to the control method in the embodiment of the invention, a target input of a user on a touch display screen and/or a physical switching button is received by a touch pen end; and responding to the target input, controlling the electronic equipment to select a target function so as to enable the electronic equipment to correspondingly process the target object based on the target function. The function of the electronic equipment is selected and switched on the touch pen by arranging at least one of the touch display screen and the physical switching button on the touch pen, so that a user does not need to input a function switching instruction on the electronic equipment, the process that the function menu is called out on the electronic equipment firstly and then is hidden on the electronic equipment is omitted, the target function selected by the electronic equipment can be automatically triggered through the touch pen, the electronic equipment can execute processing operation corresponding to the target function on the target object, the function switching step of the electronic equipment is simplified, and the operation rapidness, flexibility and diversity of the electronic equipment are improved.
