Abstract

A method for controlling blank screen gesture processing and a terminal are described. The method comprises: upon receiving a blank screen gesture, acquiring related information of the blank screen gesture; and determining whether the blank screen gesture is a misoperation gesture according to the acquired related information of the blank screen gesture, if the blank screen gesture is not a misoperation gesture, triggering a related operation of the blank screen gesture, and if the blank screen gesture is a misoperation gesture, making no response to the misoperation gesture.

Claims

1. A method for controlling blank screen gesture processing, comprising:

when a blank screen gesture is received, acquiring related information of the blank screen gesture; and

wherein the related information of the blank screen gesture comprises;

a touch input area, a touch input shape, a touch input length, a touch input slope, a touch input speed and a touch input time;

wherein the step of determining whether the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture comprises;

determining whether the touch input area meets a preset requirement, if YES, continuing to determine whether the touch input shape meets a preset input shape, and if NO, determining that the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture;

when the touch input shape meets the preset input shape, continuing to determine whether the touch input length meets a preset length requirement, and when the touch input shape does not meet the preset input shape, determining that the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture;

when the touch input length meets the preset length requirement, continuing to determine whether the touch input slope meets a preset slope requirement, and if NO, determining that the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture;

when the touch input slope meets the preset slope requirement, continuing to determine whether the touch input speed meets a preset speed requirement, and when the touch input length does not meet the preset length requirement, determining that the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture;

when the touch input speed meets the preset speed requirement, continuing to determine whether the touch input time meets a preset time requirement, and when the touch input speed does not meet the preset speed requirement, determining that the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture; and

when the touch input time meets the preset time requirement, determining that the blank screen gesture is not the accidentally operated gesture, and when the touch input time does not meet the preset time requirement, determining that the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

before determining whether the touch input time meets the preset time requirement, recording a latest time when determining whether the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the step of determining whether the touch input time meets the preset time requirement comprises:

comparing a current input time of the blank screen gesture with the latest time when determining whether the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture, determining that the touch input time of the blank screen gesture does not meet the preset time requirement when a time difference is smaller than a preset time length, and determining that the touch input time of the blank screen gesture meets the preset time requirement when the time difference is greater than or equal to the preset time length.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the blank screen gesture refers to some specific patterns drawn on a screen to rapidly start a function of a mobile terminal without turning on the screen.

4. A terminal for controlling blank screen gesture processing, comprising an acquisition unit and a determination processing unit, wherein

the acquisition unit is arranged to, when a blank screen gesture is received, acquire related information of the blank screen gesture;

and

the determination processing unit comprises a determination module and a processing module, wherein

the determination module is arranged to determine whether the blank screen gesture is an accidentally operated gesture according to the related information of the blank screen gesture; and

the processing module is arranged to, when the determination module determines that the blank screen gesture is not the accidentally operated gesture, trigger a related operation of the blank screen gesture, and when the determination module determines that the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture, make no response to the accidentally operated gesture;

wherein the acquisition unit is arranged to;

when the blank screen gesture is received, acquire a touch input area, a touch input shape, a touch input length, a touch input slope, a touch input speed and a touch input time of the blank screen gesture;

wherein the determination module is arranged to;

determine whether the touch input area meets a preset requirement, if YES, continue to determine whether the touch input shape meets a preset input shape, and if NO, determine that the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture;

when the touch input shape meets the preset input shape, continue to determine whether the touch input length meets a preset length requirement, and when the touch input shape does not meet the preset input shape, determine that the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture;

when the touch input length meets the preset length requirement, continue to determine whether the touch input slope meets a preset slope requirement, and if NO, determine that the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture;

when the touch input slope meets the preset slope requirement, continue to determine whether the touch input speed meets a preset speed requirement, and when the touch input length does not meet the preset length requirement, determine that the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture;

when the touch input speed meets the preset speed requirement, continue to determine whether the touch input time meets a preset time requirement, and when the touch input speed does not meet the preset speed requirement, determine that the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture; and

when the touch input time meets the preset time requirement, determine that the blank screen gesture is not the accidentally operated gesture, and when the touch input time does not meet the preset time requirement, determine that the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture.

5. The terminal according to claim 4, wherein the determination module is further arranged to, before determining whether the touch input time meets the preset time requirement, record a latest time when determining whether the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture.

6. The terminal according to claim 5, wherein the determination module is arranged to determine whether the touch input time meets the preset time requirement as follows:

a current input time of the blank screen gesture is compared with the latest time when determining whether the blank screen gesture is the accidentally operated gesture, it is determined that the touch input time of the blank screen gesture does not meet the preset time requirement when a time difference is smaller than a preset time length, and it is determined that the touch input time of the blank screen gesture meets the preset time requirement when the time difference is greater than or equal to the preset time length.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a terminal, causes the terminal to perform a method for controlling blank screen gesture processing, comprising:
