Abstract

The present disclosure provides a photographing method used in a mobile terminal including a side provided with a pressure sensing area, including the steps of: detecting an operation status of a camera of the mobile terminal, when the camera is activated, obtaining a pressure value of the pressure sensing area; comparing the pressure value to a first predetermined threshold value, when the pressure value achieves the first threshold value, controlling the camera to photograph. The shutter key in the related art is displaced by the pressure sensing area, the occupation of such a key is reduced, and an effective displaying area is increased, which is so much convenient for a user to photograph.

Claims (14)

1 . A photographing method used in a mobile terminal including a side provided with a pressure sensing area, including the steps of:

detecting an operation status of a camera of the mobile terminal, when the camera is activated, obtaining a pressure value of the pressure sensing area;

comparing the pressure value to a first predetermined threshold value, when the pressure value achieves the first threshold value, controlling the camera to photograph.

2 . The photographing method as described in claim 1 , wherein after obtaining the pressure value of the pressure sensing area, comparing the pressure value to a second predetermined threshold value which is smaller than the first predetermined threshold value, when the pressure value achieves the second predetermined value, controlling an auto-focusing module of the camera to perform auto-focusing function.

3 . The photographing method as described in claim 2 further including a step of providing a tactile feedback to the user for indicating whether the operation is correct or not, after obtaining the pressure value of the pressure sensing area, when the pressure value achieves the first or second predetermined threshold value.

4 . The photographing method as described in claim 1 further including a step of detecting whether the mobile terminal is at a landscape status before obtaining the pressure value, when the mobile terminal is at the landscape status, obtaining the pressure value.

5 . The photographing method as described in claim 4 further including a step of providing a reminder to the user to operate the camera at the side, after detecting that the mobile terminal is at landscape status.

6 . The photographing method as described in claim 5 , wherein the reminder includes an animation, a voice prompt, or a text prompt.

7 . The photographing method as described in claim 1 further including the step of detecting a sliding operation on the side for performing adjusting a focal length of the camera.

8 . The photographing method as described in claim 1 , wherein the step of controlling the camera to photograph includes a step of photograph a photo when the mobile terminal is at photo mode, and a step of recording video when the mobile terminal is at video mode.

9 . A mobile terminal, comprising:

at least one processor;

a memory communicating with the at least one processor, the memory being stored at least one instruction executed by the processor to perform the photographing method as described in claim 1 .

10 . A computer readable storage medium, storing a computer program for being executed by a processor for performing the photographing method as described in claim 1 .
