Abstract

Embodiments provide a method for processing a terminal device and a terminal device. A preset instruction is executed by using a covered area of the terminal device. Specifically, a user input is acquired; the covered area of the terminal device is acquired according to the user input; and if the covered area is larger than a preset area, the preset instruction is executed.

Claims (46)

1 . A method, comprising:

acquiring a user input;

acquiring a covered area of a terminal device according to the user input; and

in response to the covered area being larger than a preset area, executing a preset instruction.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the covered area comprises an area of a covered region of the terminal device, wherein the covered region is formed by consecutive covered points.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein:

the covered area comprises an area of one covered region, and the covered area is the area of the covered region; or

the covered area comprises areas of a plurality of covered regions, the covered area is a sum of the areas of the plurality of covered regions.

4 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the covered area comprises areas of a plurality of covered regions, and the covered area is an area of a largest covered region.

5 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the covered area is larger than the preset area, and executing the preset instruction comprises:

when the covered area is larger than the preset area within first preset time, executing the preset instruction; or

when the covered region moves according to a preset track, and the covered area is larger than the preset area within second preset time, executing the preset instruction.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the covered region moving according to a preset track comprises one covered region moving according to one preset track, or a plurality of covered regions moving according to a plurality of preset tracks.

7 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the covered region moving according to a preset track comprises the covered region moving from one end of the terminal device to another end of the terminal device;

wherein moving from one end of the terminal device to another end of the terminal device comprises one or more of the following:

the covered region moves from an upper end of the terminal device to a lower end of the terminal device;

the covered region moves from the lower end of the terminal device to the upper end of the terminal device;

the covered region moves from a left end of the terminal device to a right end of the terminal device; and

the covered region moves from the right end of the terminal device to the left end of the terminal device.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the preset instruction comprises one or more of the following instructions:

a screen-off instruction, a power-off instruction, an instruction for returning to a previous step, a hang-up instruction, and an instruction for returning to a main user interface;

wherein the screen-off instruction instructs the terminal device to switch from a screen-on state to a screen-off state.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the preset area is N times a surface area of the terminal device, or the preset area is N times an area of a touchscreen of the terminal device, and wherein N is greater than 0 and less than 1.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein acquiring the user input comprises, when the terminal device is in a screen-on state, acquiring the user input. ii. A terminal device, comprising:

a touchscreen, configured to acquire a user input; and

a processor, configured to:

acquire a covered area of the terminal device according to the user input acquired by the touchscreen; and

in response to the covered area being larger than a preset area, execute a preset instruction.

12 . The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the covered area acquired by the processor comprises an area of a covered region of the terminal device, wherein the covered region is formed by consecutive covered points.

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

when the covered area comprises an area of one covered region, acquire the area of the one covered region; or

when the covered area comprises areas of a plurality of covered regions, acquire a sum of the areas of the plurality of covered regions.

14 . The terminal device according to claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to, when the covered area comprises areas of a plurality of covered regions, acquire an area of a largest covered region.

15 . The terminal device according to claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to: in response to the covered area being larger than the preset area within first preset time, execute the preset instruction; or

in response to the covered region moving according to a preset track, and the covered area is larger than the preset area within second preset time, execute the preset instruction.

16 . The terminal device according to claim 15 , wherein the covered region moving according to the preset track comprises that one covered region moves according to one preset track, or a plurality of covered regions move according to a plurality of preset tracks.

17 . The terminal device according to claim 15 , wherein the covered region moving according to a preset track comprises that the covered region moves from one end of the terminal device to another end of the terminal device, wherein moving from one end of the terminal device to another end of the terminal device comprises one or more of the following movements:

the covered region moves from an upper end of the terminal device to a lower end of the terminal device;

the covered region moves from the lower end of the terminal device to the upper end of the terminal device;

the covered region moves from a left end of the terminal device to a right end of the terminal device; and

the covered region moves from the right end of the terminal device to the left end of the terminal device.

18 . The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the preset instruction comprises one or more of the following instructions:

a screen-off instruction, a power-off instruction, an instruction for returning to a previous step, a hang-up instruction, and an instruction for returning to a main user interface, wherein the screen-off instruction instructs the terminal device to switch from a screen-on state to a screen-off state.

19 . The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the preset area is N times a surface area of the terminal device, or the preset area is N times an area of a touchscreen of the terminal device;

wherein N is greater than 0 and less than 1.

20 . The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the touchscreen is further configured to, when the terminal device is in a screen-on state, acquire the user input.
