Abstract
The present disclosure provides an accidental-touch prevention method and apparatus for a mobile terminal. The method includes: receiving by the touch screen IC layer a touch instruction from a user, and reporting a touch point on a touch track corresponding to the touch instruction to the driver layer; determining by the driver layer whether a start point of the touch track falls within a pre-set accidental-touch prevention area; when the start point of the touch track falls within the pre-set accidental-touch prevention area, acquiring by the driver layer a distance on the touch track between a touch point after the start point and the start point, and performing accidental-touch prevention processing based on the distance.
Claims20
An accidental-touch prevention method for a mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal includes a touch control unit comprising:
- an application layer, a driver layer and a touch screen IC layer, the driver layer has an interface for the application layer to call, and the application layer pre-sets one or more accidental-touch prevention areas on a touch screen through the interface, the mobile terminal accidental-touch prevention method comprising:
- receiving, by the touch screen IC layer, a touch instruction from a user, and reporting a touch point on a touch track corresponding to the touch instruction to the driver layer;
- determining, by the driver layer, whether a start point of the touch track falls within a pre-set accidental-touch prevention area;
- and
- when the start point of the touch track falls within the pre-set accidental-touch prevention area, acquiring, by the driver layer, a distance along the touch track between a next touch point after the start point and the start point, and performing an accidental-touch prevention processing based on the distance, wherein performing the accidental-touch prevention processing based on the distance includes:
- when the distance is greater than a pre-set threshold, determining that a current touch operation is a touch-screen gesture.
An accidental-touch-prevention apparatus for a mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal includes a touch control unit comprising:
- an application layer, a driver layer and a touch screen IC layer, the driver layer has an interface for the application layer to call, and the application layer pre-sets one or more accidental-touch prevention areas on a touch screen through the interface, the accidental-touch-prevention apparatus for the mobile terminal with the touch screen comprising:
- an instruction receiving module configured to receive a touch instruction from a user by the touch screen IC layer, and to report a touch point on a touch track corresponding to the touch instruction to the driver layer;
- and
- a processing module configured to determine whether a start point of the touch track falls within a pre-set accidental-touch prevention area by the driver layer, when the start point of the touch track falls within the pre-set accidental-touch prevention area, to acquire a distance along the touch track between a next touch point after the start point and the start point by the driver layer, and to perform an accidental-touch prevention processing based on the distance, wherein the accidental-touch prevention processing based on the distance includes:
- when the distance is greater than a pre-set threshold, determining that a current touch operation is a touch-screen gesture.
