Abstract

Method and device for operating a touch screen are provided. The method includes that: a terminal obtains an actual sliding track of a touch operation of a user on a touch screen of the terminal (S 102 ); the terminal replaces the actual sliding track with a pre-set sliding track corresponding to the actual sliding track (S 104 ); and the terminal responds to a touch operation of the user according to the pre-set sliding track (S 106 ). The present disclosure solves the problem in the prior art that a touch screen reports all false touches of a user over-sensitively and over-precisely, thereby facilitating a simple operation on the touch screen, reducing false and misinterpreted touches, and improving user experience.

Claims (23)

1. A method for operating a touch screen, comprising:

obtaining, by a terminal, an actual sliding track of a touch operation of a user on a touch screen of the terminal;

replacing, by the terminal, the actual sliding track with a pre-set sliding track corresponding to the actual sliding track; and

responding to, by the terminal, the touch operation of the user according to the pre-set sliding track;

wherein before replacing, by the terminal, the actual sliding track with the pre-set sliding track corresponding to the actual sliding track, further comprising: receiving, by the terminal, an operation instruction of the user; and opening, by the terminal, a simple operation mode in responsive to the operation instruction, wherein in the simple operation mode, the terminal replaces the actual sliding track with the pre-set sliding track corresponding to the actual sliding track;

wherein the simple operation mode comprises an intelligent operation mode; wherein the intelligent operation mode is that: determining that the touch screen enters a horizontal operation mode when a difference value between the number of horizontal operations on the touch screen and the number of vertical operations on the touch screen is greater than a first threshold in a predetermined period of time, or determining that the touch screen enters a vertical operation mode when the difference value between the number of vertical operations on the touch screen and the number of horizontal operations on the touch screen is greater than a second threshold in the predetermined period of time.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the simple operation mode comprises the horizontal operation mode or the vertical operation mode;

in the horizontal operation mode, the terminal replaces an actual vertical sliding track with a pre-set vertical sliding track corresponding to the actual vertical sliding track; in the vertical operation mode, the terminal replaces an actual horizontal sliding track with a pre-set horizontal sliding track corresponding to the actual horizontal sliding track.

3. The method according to claim 2 , before opening, by the terminal, the simple operation mode, further comprising:

detecting, by the terminal, a current running scenario, and when the running scenario satisfies a pre-set condition, the terminal triggers the opening of the simple operation mode.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the pre-set condition comprises: it is detected that a specified application is running or stops running.

5. A device for operating a touch screen, which is arranged in a terminal, comprising:

an obtaining module, which is configured to obtain an actual sliding track of a touch operation of a user on a touch screen of the terminal;

a replacing module, which is configured to replace the actual sliding track with a pre-set sliding track corresponding to the actual sliding track; and

a responding module, which is configured to respond to a touch operation of the user according to the pre-set sliding track;

a receiving module, which is configured to receive an operation instruction of the user;

an opening module, which is configured to, open a simple operation mode in responsive to the operation instruction, wherein in the simple operation mode, the replacing module is configured to replace the actual sliding track with the pre-set sliding track corresponding to the actual sliding track;

wherein the simple operation mode comprises an intelligent operation mode; wherein the intelligent operation mode is that: it is determined that the touch screen enters a horizontal operation mode when a difference value between the number of horizontal operations on the touch screen and the number of vertical operations on the touch screen is greater than a first threshold in a predetermined period of time, or it is determined that the touch screen enters a vertical operation mode when the difference value between the number of vertical operations on the touch screen and the number of horizontal operations on the touch screen is greater than a second threshold in the predetermined period of time.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the simple operation mode comprises the horizontal operation mode or the vertical operation mode;

in the horizontal operation mode, the replacing module is configured to replace an actual vertical sliding track with a pre-set vertical sliding track corresponding to the actual vertical sliding track; in the vertical operation mode, the replacing module is configured to replace an actual horizontal sliding track with a pre-set horizontal sliding track corresponding to the actual horizontal sliding track.

7. The device according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a detecting module, which is configured to detect a current running scenario, when the running scenario satisfies a pre-set condition, the opening module triggers the opening of the simple operation mode.

8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the pre-set condition comprises: it is detected that a specified application is running or stops running.
