Electronic terminals and control methods thereof
First Claim
1. An electronic terminal comprising at least one input and output unit, the electronic terminal further comprising:
- a memory configured to store a set of instructions;
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute an instruction in the set of instructions for;
detecting whether a communication event exists, so as to obtain a first detection result;
detecting whether a prohibition condition for prohibiting an input and output function of the at least one input and output unit is satisfied in response to the first detection result indicating that the communication event exists, so as to obtain a second detection result; and
prohibiting a part of the input and output function of the at least one input and output unit which is unrelated to the communication event, when the first detection result indicates that the communication event exists and the second detection result indicates that the prohibition condition is satisfied,wherein the electronic terminal further comprises;
a brightness sensing unit configured to detect whether surrounding brightness is lower than a preset threshold, andwherein the processor is further configured to execute an instruction in the set of instructions for obtaining the second detection result indicating that the prohibition condition is satisfied, when the brightness sensing unit detects that the surrounding brightness is lower than the preset threshold;
wherein the processor is further configured to execute an instruction in the set of instructions for detecting whether a current time period belongs to a preset time period; and
wherein the processor is further configured to execute an instruction in the set of instructions for obtaining the second detection result indicating that the prohibition condition is satisfied, when the brightness sensing unit detects that the surrounding brightness is lower than the preset threshold, the current time period belongs to the preset time period, andwherein the electronic terminal further comprises;
a hold sensing unit configured to detect whether the electronic terminal is held, andwherein the processor is further configured to execute an instruction in the set of instructions for obtaining the second detection result indicating that the prohibition condition is satisfied, when the hold sensing unit detects that the electronic terminal is not held.

Abstract
An electronic terminal includes at least one input and output unit. The electronic terminal further includes: a communication detection unit configured to detect whether a communication event exists, so as to obtain a first detection result; a condition sensing unit configured to detect whether a prohibition condition for prohibiting an input and output function of the at least one input and output unit is satisfied, so as to obtain a second detection result; a prohibition unit configured to prohibit a part of the input and output function of the at least one input and output unit which is unrelated to the communication event, when the first detection result indicates that the communication event exists and the second detection result indicates that the prohibition condition is satisfied.
