Touch button, control method, and electronic device

A control method, performed by an electronic device having a touch button, wherein the touch button has multiple control functions integrated thereon, the control method comprising:

• receiving a touch input acting on a touch part of the touch button, wherein the touch part transfers pressure of the touch input to a first conductive part of the touch button, so that the first conductive part moves relative to a second conductive part of the touch button;
• detecting whether there is any capacitance change between the first conductive part and the second conductive part in a plurality of preset directions, wherein each preset direction corresponds to a different control instruction detectable by the touch button;
• and
• determining, when a capacitance change exists in a target direction among the plurality of preset directions, a control instruction corresponding to the target direction, wherein:
• the second conductive part partially surrounds the first conductive part;
• a portion of the first conductive part is exposed from the second conductive part;
• a gap exists between an unexposed portion of the first conductive part and the second conductive part;
• the first conductive part is movable relative to the second conductive part;
• and
• the touch part comprises a touch member and an elastic member. wherein the touch member is configured to transfer the pressure to the exposed portion of the first conductive part through the elastic member, wherein the elastic member wraps the exposed portion of the first conductive part and is positioned above the second conductive part.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, implements a control method performed by an electronic device having a touch button, the method comprising:

• receiving a touch input acting on a touch part of the touch button, wherein the touch part transfers pressure of the touch input to a first conductive part of the touch button, so that the first conductive part moves relative to a second conductive part of the touch button;
• detecting whether there is any capacitance change between the first conductive part and the second conductive part in a plurality of preset directions, wherein each preset direction corresponds to a different control instruction detectable by the touch button;
• and
• determining, when a capacitance change exists in a target direction among the plurality of preset directions, a control instruction corresponding to the target direction,
• wherein:
• the second conductive part partially surrounds the first conductive part;
• a portion of the first conductive part is exposed from the second conductive part;
• a gap exists between an unexposed portion of the first conductive part and the second conductive part;
• the first conductive part is movable relative to the second conductive part;
• and
• the touch part comprises a touch member and an elastic member, wherein the touch member is configured to transfer the pressure to the exposed portion of the first conductive part through the elastic member, wherein the elastic member wraps the exposed portion of the first conductive part and is positioned above the second conductive part.
