Method for preventing mistouch by using top-emitted proximity light, and terminal

A terminal, comprising:

• a touchscreen;
• a proximity sensor located at a side edge of the terminal that is on a first plane, wherein the touchscreen of the terminal is on a second plane, wherein the first plane and the second plane are different and non-parallel, wherein a first included angle is formed between light emitted by the proximity sensor and the touchscreen, and wherein the proximity sensor is configured to detect whether an object is approaching;
• a motion sensor configured to detect motion data of the terminal;
• and
• a processor separately coupled to the proximity sensor, the motion sensor, and the touchscreen, wherein the processor is configured to:
• obtain the motion data of the terminal by using the motion sensor, wherein the motion data comprises a tilt angle of the terminal, and the tilt angle of the terminal is an included angle between the terminal and a horizontal plane;
• determine whether the tilt angle is less than a first threshold;
• when the tilt angle is less than the first threshold, determine that no external object is currently approaching;
• and
• when the tilt angle is greater than or equal to the first threshold, determine, based on data detected by the proximity sensor, whether an external object is approaching.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program comprising one or more instructions configured for execution by one or more processors of an terminal, wherein the terminal comprises a touchscreen, a proximity sensor, and a motion sensor, wherein a first included angle is formed between light emitted by the proximity sensor and the touchscreen, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the terminal to be configured to:

• obtain, by the terminal, data detected by the motion sensor;
• obtain, by the terminal, motion data of the terminal based on the data detected by the motion sensor, wherein the motion data comprises a tilt angle of the terminal, and the tilt angle of the terminal is an included angle between the terminal and a horizontal plane;
• determine, by the terminal, whether the tilt angle is less than a first threshold;
• when the tilt angle is less than the first threshold, determine, by the terminal, that no external object is currently approaching;
• and
• when the tilt angle is greater than or equal to the first threshold, determine, by the terminal based on data detected by the proximity sensor, whether an external object is approaching, wherein the proximity sensor is located at a side edge of the terminal that is on a first plane,
• wherein the touchscreen of the terminal is on a second plane, and
• wherein the first plane and the second plane are different and non-parallel.
