Abstract

A tapping control method and a terminal, which relate to the communications field and can avoid frequent automatic setting of the terminal caused by an unconscious operation of a user, thereby implementing accurate operation control on the terminal and improving a capability of the terminal to interact with the user. A specific solution is as follows. The terminal detects a tapping trigger signal within a preset frequency range by using a shock sensor; after the tapping trigger signal is detected, identifies a tapping action type corresponding to the tapping trigger signal; acquires a tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type; and executes the tapping response event. The present disclosure can be used in a process of operation control on the terminal.

Claims (30)

1 . A tapping control method, which is applied to a terminal, wherein the terminal comprises a shock sensor, and wherein the method comprises:

detecting, by using the shock sensor, a tapping trigger signal within a preset frequency range;

identifying a tapping action type corresponding to the tapping trigger signal after the tapping trigger signal is detected;

acquiring a tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type; and

executing the tapping response event.

2 . The tapping control method according to claim 1 , wherein after the tapping trigger signal is detected, the method further comprises acquiring current status information of the terminal, and wherein acquiring the tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type comprises searching for the tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type and matches the acquired current status information.

3 . The tapping control method according to claim 1 , wherein after the tapping trigger signal is detected, the method further comprises acquiring trigger position information of the tapping trigger signal that is detected by using the shock sensor, and wherein acquiring the tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type comprises searching for the tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type and matches the acquired trigger position information.

4 . The tapping control method according to claim 1 , wherein after the tapping trigger signal is detected, the method further comprises acquiring current status information of the terminal and trigger position information of the tapping trigger signal that is detected by the shock sensor, and wherein acquiring the tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type comprises searching for the tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type and matches the acquired current status information and the acquired trigger position information.

5 . The tapping control method according to claim 1 , wherein the tapping action type comprises a single tap within a preset time.

6 . The tapping control method according to claim 1 , wherein the tapping action type comprises double taps within a preset time.

7 . The tapping control method according to claim 1 , wherein the tapping action type comprises at least three taps within a preset time.

8 . The tapping control method according to claim 7 , wherein it is identified that the tapping action type is the at least three taps within the preset time, wherein after the tapping action type corresponding to the tapping trigger signal is identified, the method further comprises acquiring tapping frequency information of the at least three taps within the preset time that are detected by the shock sensor, and wherein acquiring the tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type comprises searching for the tapping response event that matches the at least three taps within the preset time and matches the acquired tapping frequency information.

9 . A terminal, comprising:

a shock sensor configured to detect a tapping trigger signal within a preset frequency range; and

a processor configured to identify a tapping action type corresponding to the tapping trigger signal, acquire a tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type, and execute the tapping response event after the shock sensor detects the tapping trigger signal.

10 . The terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire current status information of the terminal after the tapping trigger signal is detected; and

search for the tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type and matches the acquired current status information.

11 . The terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire trigger position information of the tapping trigger signal that is detected by using the shock sensor after the tapping trigger signal is detected; and

search for the tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type and matches the acquired trigger position information.

12 . The terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire current status information of the terminal and trigger position information of the tapping trigger signal that is detected by the shock sensor after the tapping trigger signal is detected; and

search for the tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type and matches the acquired current status information and the acquired trigger position information.

13 . The terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the tapping action type comprises a single tap within a preset time.

14 . The terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the tapping action type comprises double taps within a preset time.

15 . The terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the tapping action type comprises at least three taps within a preset time.

17 . The terminal according to claim 15 , wherein it is identified that the tapping action type is the at least three taps within the preset time, and wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire tapping frequency information of the at least three taps within the preset time that are detected by the shock sensor after identifying the tapping action type corresponding to the tapping trigger signal; and

search for the tapping response event that matches the at least three taps within the preset time and matches the acquired tapping frequency information.
