Abstract

An information processing method, an information processing apparatus and an electronic device. The information processing method is applicable in an electronic device including at least a display unit which is able to receive a touch operation, and the method includes: acquiring touch information of an input object; and displaying a notice when the touch information indicates that the touch operation of the input object meets a predetermined condition.

Claims

1. An information processing method, wherein the method is applicable in an electronic device comprising at least a display unit which is able to receive a touch operation, the method comprises:

acquiring touch information of an input object; and

displaying a notice when the touch information indicates that the touch operation of the input object meets a predetermined condition.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined condition is that the area of a contact region where the input object contacts with the display unit is greater than a first threshold, wherein the first threshold is an area threshold corresponding to an achievement of a palm rejection function.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the displaying a notice comprises:

displaying a graphic notice on the display unit, for prompting that in this touch operation the area of the contact region where the input object contacts with the display unit is too large.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the electronic device further comprises an audio output unit, and the displaying a notice comprises:

outputting an audio notice, for prompting that in this touch operation the area of the contact region where the input object contacts with the display unit is too large.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined condition is that a contact pressure of the input object on the display unit is less than a second threshold.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the displaying a notice comprises:

displaying a graphic notice on the display unit, for prompting that in this touch operation the contact pressure of the input object on the display unit is too small.

7. The method according to claim 5, wherein the electronic device further comprises an audio output unit, and the displaying a notice comprises:

outputting an audio notice, for prompting that in this touch operation the contact pressure of the input object on the display unit is too small.

8. An information processing apparatus, wherein the apparatus is applicable in an electronic device comprising at least a display unit which is able to receive a touch operation, wherein the information processing apparatus comprises:

an acquiring module, adapted to acquire touch information of an input object and send the acquired touch information to a judging module;

the judging module, adapted to judge whether the touch operation of the input object meets a predetermined condition, based on the touch information, and to trigger a notice module if it is judged that the touch operation of the input object meets the predetermined condition; and

the notice module, adapted to display a notice.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the judging module comprises:

an area judging unit, adapted to judge whether the area of a contact region where the input object contacts with the display unit is greater than a first threshold based on the touch information, and to trigger the notice module if it is judged that the area of the contact region where the input object contacts with the display unit is greater than the first threshold;

wherein the first threshold is an area threshold corresponding to an achievement of a palm rejection function.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the notice module comprises:

a first graphic notice unit, adapted to display a graphic notice on the display unit, for prompting that in this touch operation the area of the contact region where the input object contacts with the display unit is too large.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the electronic device further comprises an audio output unit, and the notice module comprises:

a first audio notice unit, adapted to output an audio notice, for prompting that in this touch operation the area of the contact region where the input object contacts with the display unit is too large.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the judging module comprises:

a pressure judging unit, adapted to judge whether a contact pressure of the input object on the display unit is less than a second threshold, based on the touch information, and to trigger the notice module if it is judged that the contact pressure of the input object on the display unit is less than the second threshold.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the notice module comprises:

a second graphic notice unit, adapted to display a graphic notice on the display unit, for prompting that in this touch operation the contact pressure of the input object on the display unit is too small.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the electronic device further comprises an audio output unit, and the notice module comprises:

a second audio notice unit, adapted to output an audio notice, for prompting that in this touch operation the contact pressure of the input object on the display unit is too small.

15. An electronic device, comprising a display unit which is able to receive a touch operation and an information processing apparatus which comprises:

an acquiring module, adapted to acquire touch information of an input object and send the acquired touch information to a judging module;

the judging module, adapted to judge whether the touch operation of the input object meets a predetermined condition based on the touch information, and to trigger a notice module if it is judged that the touch operation of the input object meets the predetermined condition; and

the notice module, adapted to display a notice.
