As shown in FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method, which is applied to an electronic device including a removable stylus. The control method may include the following

steps

201 and 202.

Step 201: When the electronic device displays the first interface, the electronic device receives the first input of the user pulling out or inserting the stylus pen into the electronic device.

Among them, the stylus refers to a device that can replace fingers for input on the touch screen.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned first interface may be an interface that needs to call up a virtual keyboard, such as a conversation interface or a chat interface, or may be any other interface that can be used for input with a stylus. Specifically, it can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit it.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned first interface may be an interface of the first application program (for example, a main interface or a functional interface), or may be a desktop interface, or may be any other interface that meets actual usage requirements. It can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit it.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned first application may be a communication application, a social application, an album application, a shopping application, or any other application. The possible application programs can be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit it.

Exemplarily, assuming that the first application is a communication application, the first interface may be a short message editing interface. Or, assuming that the first application is a social application, the first interface may be a conversation interface. Or, assuming that the first application is an album application, the first interface may be an album interface displaying multiple pictures.

Step 202: The electronic device updates the first interface in response to the first input.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned updating the first interface may be any of the following: displaying a virtual keyboard on the first interface, canceling the display of the virtual keyboard on the first interface, and changing the virtual keyboard displayed on the first interface The keyboard switches to another virtual keyboard.

It should be noted that the aforementioned virtual keyboard may also be referred to as an input method keyboard, or a virtual keyboard interface, or an input method input interface.

On the one hand, when the electronic device displays the first interface, if the user needs to input on the electronic device through the stylus pen, then the user can pull out the stylus pen from the electronic device (that is, the first input) at this time. Trigger the electronic device to update the first interface. For example, the operation of the electronic device to update the first interface may be: display a virtual keyboard on the first interface, or switch the virtual keyboard displayed on the first interface to another virtual keyboard, or update the first interface to (jump to ) The second interface, the first interface and the second interface may be different interfaces of the first application.

Exemplarily, taking the conversational interface in which the first interface is a communication application program as an example, if the user needs to input text, voice or image content on the conversational interface with a stylus, then the user can use the stylus from the electronic Unplug the device (that is, the first input); accordingly, the electronic device can display a virtual keyboard on the conversation interface in response to the first input, and then the user can input corresponding content in the conversation interface by operating on the virtual keyboard.

As another example, taking the first interface as the desktop interface of the electronic device as an example, if the user needs to search for information on the desktop interface, then the user can pull out the stylus from the electronic device at this time (that is, the first input) Correspondingly, the electronic device can respond to the first input, display an information search box and a virtual keyboard on the desktop interface, and then the user can input content in the information search box by operating on the virtual keyboard to search for information.

As another example, taking the first interface as the album browsing interface as an example, if the user needs to batch process the pictures in the album browsing interface (for example, batch selection and forwarding, or batch editing), then the user can use the stylus at this time Unplug from the electronic device (ie the first input); accordingly, the electronic device can respond to the first input and update the album browsing interface to (jump to) the album editing interface, and then the user can edit in the album through the stylus Operate on the interface.

On the other hand, when the electronic device displays the first interface, if the user does not need to use the stylus to input on the electronic device, then the user can insert the stylus into the electronic device (that is, the first input) at this time. Trigger the electronic device to update the first interface. For example, the operation of the electronic device to update the first interface may be: switching the virtual keyboard displayed on the first interface to another virtual keyboard, or canceling the display of the virtual keyboard on the first interface, or updating the first interface to (jump Go to) the second interface. The first interface and the second interface may be different interfaces of the first application.

Exemplarily, taking the conversational interface in which the first interface is a communication application program as an example, if the user needs to input text, voice or image content on the conversational interface with a stylus, then the user can use the stylus from the electronic Unplug the device (that is, the first input). Accordingly, the electronic device can display a virtual keyboard on the conversation interface in response to the first input, and then the user can input corresponding content in the conversation interface by operating on the virtual keyboard.

The following exemplarily describes the specific implementation process of the control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention through the following first implementation manner, second implementation manner, third implementation manner, and fourth implementation manner.

The first way to achieve

In the first implementation manner, the aforementioned first input is that the user pulls the stylus out of the electronic device. In this case, the aforementioned step 202 can be specifically implemented by the following step 202A.

Step 202A: The electronic device responds to the first input. If the first interface does not include the first virtual keyboard, the electronic device displays the first virtual keyboard on the first interface.

As shown in Figure 3(a), when the stylus is not pulled out of the electronic device, the electronic device displays a conversation interface 31 (that is, the aforementioned first interface), and the conversation interface 31 does not include a virtual keyboard . If the user needs to use a stylus pen to input information on the conversation interface 31, the user can pull the stylus pen out of the electronic device.

Correspondingly, as shown in (b) of FIG. 3, when the user pulls out the stylus 32 from the electronic device, the electronic device can display the virtual keyboard 33 on the conversation interface 31.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the user pulls out the stylus from the electronic device, the electronic device can directly pop up a virtual keyboard on the current display interface for the user to input on the first interface without the user needing to operate on the current display interface In order to call up the virtual keyboard, the embodiment of the present invention makes the using process of the stylus more fluent and smarter, and can improve the convenience of using the stylus to input by the electronic device.

The second way to achieve

In the second implementation manner, the above-mentioned first input is that the user inserts the stylus pen into the electronic device. In this case, the aforementioned step 202 can be specifically implemented by the following step 202B.

Step 202B: In response to the first input, the electronic device hides the first virtual keyboard if the first interface includes the first virtual keyboard.

Referring again to Figure 3(b), when the stylus has been pulled out of the electronic device, the electronic device displays a conversation interface 31 (that is, the aforementioned first interface), and the conversation interface 31 includes a virtual keyboard 33 ( For example, the Pinyin virtual keyboard). If the user does not need to use a stylus pen to input information on the conversation interface 31, the user can insert the stylus pen 32 into an electronic device.

Correspondingly, referring again to (a) in FIG. 3, when the user inserts the stylus pen into the electronic device, the electronic device can cancel the display of the virtual keyboard on the conversation interface 31, that is, hide the virtual keyboard.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the user inserts the stylus pen into the electronic device, the electronic device can directly hide the virtual keyboard in the current display interface without the user having to operate on the current display interface to hide the virtual keyboard, so the embodiment of the invention can Improve the convenience of using electronic equipment and stylus together.

The third way to achieve

In the third implementation manner, assuming that the aforementioned first input is that the user pulls the stylus out of the electronic device, the aforementioned step 202 can be specifically implemented by the following step 202C.

Step 202C: If the second virtual keyboard is included in the first interface, update the second virtual keyboard to the third virtual keyboard.

It should be noted that the second virtual keyboard and the first virtual keyboard may be the same or different.

The second virtual keyboard may be a non-handwritten virtual keyboard (for example, a pinyin type virtual keyboard, referred to as a pinyin virtual keyboard), and the third virtual keyboard may be a handwritten type virtual keyboard (abbreviated as a handwritten virtual keyboard). For ease of description, the second virtual keyboard is a Pinyin keyboard and the third virtual keyboard is a handwritten virtual keyboard as an example in the following for exemplary description.

As shown in (a) in Figure 4, when the stylus is not pulled out of the electronic device, the electronic device displays a conversation interface 31 (that is, the aforementioned first interface), and the conversation interface 31 includes a Pinyin virtual keyboard 33 (ie the second virtual keyboard mentioned above). If the user needs to use a stylus to input information through a handwritten virtual keyboard (ie, the third virtual keyboard), the user can pull the stylus out of the electronic device.

Correspondingly, as shown in (b) of FIG. 4, when the user pulls out the stylus 32 from the electronic device, the electronic device can update the Pinyin virtual keyboard 33 displayed on the conversation interface 31 to the handwritten virtual keyboard 34.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the user pulls out the stylus from the electronic device, the electronic device can update the virtual keyboard displayed on the current display interface to another virtual keyboard without the user having to operate on the current display interface to switch the virtual keyboard Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention can improve the convenience of using the stylus pen to input the electronic device.

Fourth realization

In the fourth implementation manner, assuming that the aforementioned first input is that the user inserts a stylus pen into the electronic device, the aforementioned step 202 can be specifically implemented by the following step 202D.

Step 202D: If the third virtual keyboard is included in the first interface, update the third virtual keyboard to the second virtual keyboard.

Referring again to Figure 4(b), when the stylus has been pulled out of the electronic device, the electronic device displays the conversation interface 31 (that is, the aforementioned first interface), and the conversation interface 31 contains a handwritten virtual The keyboard 34 (that is, the third virtual keyboard described above). If the user needs to input information through the original Pinyin virtual keyboard 33 (for example, the aforementioned second virtual keyboard) and no longer needs to use a stylus, the user can insert the stylus into the electronic device.

Correspondingly, referring again to (a) in FIG. 4, when the user inserts the stylus 32 into the electronic device, the electronic device can restore the handwritten virtual keyboard 34 displayed on the conversation interface 31 to the Pinyin virtual keyboard 33.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the user inserts the stylus pen into the electronic device, the electronic device can restore the virtual keyboard displayed on the current display interface to the original virtual keyboard without the user having to operate on the current display interface to switch the virtual keyboard, thereby The embodiments of the present invention can improve the convenience of using a stylus pen for input in an electronic device.

Optionally, in the first to fourth implementations described above, the specific implementation of how to update the first interface based on the first input can be customized in advance by the user, or the electronic device can be set according to the user's touch control. The behavior history data of the pen is determined, which can be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Exemplarily, taking the electronic device determining how to update the first interface according to the user's behavior history data using the stylus pen as an example, the electronic device can memorize the type of virtual keyboard that the user is accustomed to selecting when the user uses the stylus pen to operate the input method. For example, suppose the user is accustomed to using a handwritten virtual keyboard when using a stylus, and is accustomed to using a pinyin virtual keyboard when using finger input, then the electronic device can display the virtual pinyin keyboard when the user uses the finger to input; when the user pulls out the stylus In the case of an electronic device, the virtual keyboard is automatically switched to the handwritten virtual keyboard that the user is accustomed to using; when the user inserts the stylus into the electronic device, the virtual keyboard is automatically switched to the Pinyin keyboard.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the difference between the user's finger input and the stylus input can be memorized, and the user can switch to the type of virtual keyboard commonly used by the user when the user uses the stylus, so that the use process of the stylus is smoother and smarter. Improve the convenience of electronic equipment and stylus when used together.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned first interface update operation can also be specifically implemented in the following way 1 or way 2.

method one

In the case where the above-mentioned first input is that the user pulls the stylus pen out of the electronic device, the electronic device controls the jump from the first interface to the second interface, and the second interface is an editing interface that can be input by using the stylus pen.

For example, the first interface may be a picture browsing interface, and the second interface may be a picture editing interface. Specifically, in a scenario where a user browses pictures through an electronic device, if the user pulls out the stylus from the electronic device, the electronic device can automatically switch the currently displayed picture browsing interface to a picture editing interface, which is convenient for the user to edit pictures.

Way two

In the case where the above-mentioned first input is that the user inserts the stylus pen into the electronic device, the electronic device controls the jump from the first interface to the second interface, and the first interface is an editing interface that can be input by the stylus pen.

For example, the first interface may be a picture editing interface, and the second interface may be a picture browsing interface.

In this way, the currently displayed interface of the electronic device can be updated according to the state of the stylus, so as to reduce unnecessary operations by the user, improve the interactive intelligence of the electronic device and the stylus, and at the same time improve the user experience.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device can combine artificial intelligence to learn the user's habit of using the stylus in different application scenarios, and make some intelligent responses.

For example, suppose the user is accustomed to using a stylus to perform multi-selection operations on the photo album thumbnail browsing interface. In the scenario where the user browses the album thumbnails, when the user pulls the stylus out of the electronic device, the electronic device will automatically switch to Multi-select picture interface.

For another example, suppose that the user is used to drawing with a stylus in a drawing application. After the user triggers the electronic device to run the drawing application, the electronic device automatically pops up the stylus to facilitate the user to use the stylus for drawing.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the electronic device displays a conversational interface or other interfaces that require input, when the user pulls the stylus out of the electronic device, the electronic device can automatically pop up a virtual keyboard on the current display interface, or the current The display interface is switched to another operation interface. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention can make the electronic device more intelligently control the display interface when used in conjunction with the stylus, which facilitates the interactive operation of the user on the electronic device using the stylus.

The control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can receive the first input of the user pulling out or inserting the stylus pen into the electronic device when the electronic device displays the first interface of the first application program; and respond to the first input , Update the first interface. The control method provided by the embodiments of the present invention is applied to the interactive application scenario of an electronic device and a stylus pen. When the user pulls out or inserts the stylus pen into the electronic device, the electronic device can respond to the user input according to the stylus pen Status changes, the current display interface is directly updated to the interface applicable to the current status of the stylus (for example, if the stylus is pulled out, the updated interface is an interface that can be input through the stylus) without the user The operation triggers the update of the current display interface. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention can make the electronic device more intelligently control the display interface when used in conjunction with the stylus, which facilitates the interactive operation of the stylus on the electronic device by the user, so that the stylus The use process is smoother and smarter. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention can improve the convenience of interactive applications between the electronic device and the stylus.

The following will exemplify the process and principle of how the electronic device and the stylus interact with each other through the following implementation manner 1 and implementation manner 2.

Realization method one

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the stylus is in the inserted state, the stylus is inserted into the stylus storage device of the electronic device, and the stylus detection device is provided in the stylus storage device.

After the electronic device receives the first input of the user pulling out or inserting the stylus pen into the electronic device (step 201 in FIG. 2), the electronic device updates the first interface in response to the first input (step 202 in FIG. 2) Previously, the control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes the following step 203 or step 204.

Step 203: If the stylus detection device detects that the stylus touches the stylus detection device, the electronic device determines that the first input is that the user inserts the stylus pen into the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the stylus detection device detects that the stylus touches the stylus detection device, the stylus detection device may send the stylus status change information to the electronic device, and the electronic device receives After the stylus state change information, according to the stylus state change information, it is determined that the first input is that the user inserts the stylus pen into the electronic device.

Step 204: If the stylus detection device detects that the stylus is separated from the stylus detection device, the electronic device determines that the first input is that the user pulls the stylus out of the electronic device.

Similarly, when the stylus detection device detects that the stylus is separated from the stylus detection device, the stylus detection device can send the stylus status change information to the electronic device, and the electronic device can receive the stylus After the state change information, according to the state change information of the stylus pen, it is determined that the first input is that the user pulls the stylus pen out of the electronic device.

For example, suppose that the stylus detection device is a physical button set in the stylus storage device, and suppose that when the stylus is stored in the stylus storage device, the button state is 1, and the user takes out the touch After the pen, the button state is 0, then the operating system of the electronic device can determine that the stylus is separated from the stylus detection device after detecting that the button state signal changes from 1 to 0, and then determine that the user pulls out the stylus For electronic devices, it can be inferred that the user takes out the stylus and is ready to use the stylus to input on the electronic device. At this time, the electronic device can automatically pop up the input method interface, and the user can directly perform input operations without first clicking the input box to call up the input method. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention can improve the convenience of interactive applications between the electronic device and the stylus.

Further, after the user input is completed and the stylus is inserted into the electronic device, the operating system of the electronic device detects that the button state signal changes from 0 to 1, and can determine that the stylus touches the stylus detection device, and then determines The user inserts the stylus pen into the electronic device and can infer that: the user puts the stylus away and is ready to no longer use the stylus. At this time, the electronic device can automatically hide (ie put away) the input method interface. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention can improve the convenience of interactive applications between the electronic device and the stylus.

Realization method two

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the stylus and the electronic device may communicate through near field communication (NFC). In this case, after the electronic device receives the first input of the user pulling out or inserting the stylus pen into the electronic device, the control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention further includes the following step 205 or step 206.

Step 205: If the strength of the NFC signal between the stylus pen and the electronic device is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the electronic device determines that the first input is that the user inserts the stylus pen into the electronic device.

Step 206: If the strength of the NFC signal between the stylus pen and the electronic device is less than the preset threshold, the electronic device determines that the first input is that the user pulls the stylus pen out of the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, an NFC tag can be configured in the stylus, and an NFC receiving device can be configured in the terminal device. The stylus and the electronic device can communicate through NFC. Wherein, the foregoing preset threshold for judging the strength of the NFC signal may be determined according to actual use requirements, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Specifically, when the user inserts the stylus pen into the electronic device, the NFC tag in the stylus pen and the NFC receiving device in the electronic device are within the communication distance range. At this time, the electronic device can detect the NFC tag of the stylus pen. The user inserts the stylus pen into the electronic device, and can infer that: the user puts the stylus pen away and prepares to no longer use the stylus pen, at this time the electronic device can automatically hide (ie put away) the input method interface. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention can improve the convenience of interactive applications between the electronic device and the stylus.

In the same way, when the user pulls the stylus out of the electronic device, the NFC tag in the stylus and the NFC receiving device in the electronic device are out of the communication distance range. At this time, the device cannot detect the NFC tag of the stylus, and it can be determined When the user pulls the stylus out of the electronic device, it can be inferred that the user takes out the stylus and is ready to use the stylus to input on the electronic device.
