Abstract

An interface control method applied in a mobile terminal with large screen generates different auxiliary interfaces corresponding to different operation situations when the mobile terminal detects a palm touch event and a stylus touch event simultaneously. Singlehanded operations on the mobile terminal with large screen are then possible with more efficient and convenient usage.

Claims (39)

1 . An interface control method executed in a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

receiving and detecting a first touch event;

determining whether the first touch event comprises a palm touch event and a stylus touch event; and

generating an auxiliary interface when the first touch event comprises the palm touch event and the stylus touch event.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating step comprising:

creating at least one function button;

displaying the function button on a current operation page of the mobile terminal;

detecting a second touch event in an area where the function button is located; and

activating the auxiliary interface when the second touch event is detected.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

analyzing a current position of a touch point of the stylus pen on the mobile terminal; and

adjusting a current position of the function button on the current operation page according to the current position of the touch point.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a gesture motion according to the palm touch event; and

moving the auxiliary interface to a corresponding position in response to the determined gesture motion.

5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the auxiliary interface is used to display touch icons in a first area on the current operation page, wherein the first area is a region covered by a palm regarding to the palm touch event.

6 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the auxiliary interface is used to display touch icons in a second area on the current operation page, wherein the second area is a region displaying multiple tool icons shown in a current application operation page.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the shape of the auxiliary interface is an arc belt, wherein the touch point of the stylus pen on the mobile terminal indicates an arc center of the arc belt.

8 . A mobile terminal, which is equipped with a stylus pen, the mobile terminal comprising:

a touch screen configured to display and receive external touch input;

at least one processor;

a non-transitory storage system coupled to the at least one processor and configured to store one or more programs that are to be executed by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprise instructions for:

receiving and detecting a first touch event;

determining whether the first touch event comprises a palm touch event and a stylus touch event; and

generating an auxiliary interface when the first touch event comprises the palm touch event and the stylus touch event.

9 . The mobile terminal of claim 8 , wherein the one or more programs further comprise instructions for:

creating at least one function button;

displaying the function button on a current operation page of the mobile terminal;

detecting a second touch event in an area where the function button is located; and

activating the auxiliary interface when the second touch event is detected.

10 . The mobile terminal of claim 9 , wherein the one or more programs further comprise instructions for:

analyzing a current position of a touch point of the stylus pen on the mobile terminal; and

adjusting a current position of the function button on the current operation page according to the current position of the touch point.

11 . The mobile terminal of claim 8 , wherein the one or more programs further comprise instructions for:

determining a gesture motion according to the palm touch event; and

moving the auxiliary interface to a corresponding position in response to the determined gesture motion.

12 . The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein the auxiliary interface is used to display touch icons in a first area on the current operation page, wherein the first area is a region covered by a palm regarding to the palm touch event.

13 . The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein the auxiliary interface is used to display touch icons in a second area on the current operation page, wherein the second area is a region displaying multiple tool icons shown in a current application operation page.

14 . The mobile terminal of claim 13 , wherein the shape of the auxiliary interface is an arc belt, wherein the touch point of the stylus pen on the mobile terminal indicates an arc center of the arc belt.
