Abstract

Embodiments of the present application disclose a gesture-based interaction method and interaction apparatus, and a user equipment. The method comprising: acquiring touch information corresponding to a touch event on a touch sensing surface; and in response to that determining the touch event according to the touch information meets at least one set condition, performing an operation corresponding to the touch event, wherein the at least one set condition comprises: a first touch by a first finger on the touch sensing surface comprises a fingertip touch and a finger joint touch that occur in order. Technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application enrich a manner for interacting with an electronic device having a touch sensing surface.

Claims

1. A gesture-based interaction method, comprising:

acquiring touch information corresponding to a touch event on a touch sensing surface; and

in response to that determining the touch event according to the touch information meets at least one set condition, performing an operation corresponding to the touch event, wherein the at least one set condition comprises;

first touches by a first finger on the touch sensing surface, the first touches comprising a fingertip touch and a finger joint touch; and

at least one second touch by at least one second finger on the touch sensing surface, the at least one second finger being different from the first finger, wherein the at least one second touch overlaps with the first touches at a time;

wherein

when a first order of the fingertip touch and the finger joint touch is that the fingertip touch occurs before the finger joint touch, the first touches and the at least one second touch correspond to performing a twisting action, wherein the first touches in the first order correspond to a first rotation track, and the at least one second touch corresponds to a second rotation track, wherein a rotation direction of the first rotation track is consistent with a rotation direction of the second rotation track, wherein the twisting action indicates that the operation comprises associating a first object corresponding to the first touches with at least one second object corresponding to the at least one second touch; and

when a second order of the fingertip touch and the finger joint touch is that the finger joint touch occurs before the fingertip touch, the first touches and the at least one second touch correspond to performing a reverse twisting action, wherein the first touches in the second order correspond to a third rotation track, and a location of the at least one second touch does not chance, wherein the reverse twisting action indicates that the operation comprises disassociating at least two associated objects corresponding to the first touches and the at least one second touch.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining the first object according to an initial touch location of the first touches; and

determining the at least one second object according to at least one initial touch location of the at least one second touch.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first rotation track and the third rotation track indicate a movement track of the first finger.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the second rotation track indicates a movement track of the at least one second finger.

3. A user equipment, wherein the user equipment comprises:

a memory storing a program; and

a processor, configured to execute the program stored by the memory, wherein the program causes the processor to perform processes including;

acquiring touch information corresponding to a touch event on a touch sensing surface; and

in response to that determining the touch event according to the touch information meets at least one set condition, performing an operation corresponding to the touch event, wherein the at least one set condition comprises;

first touches by a first finger on the touch sensing surface, the first touches comprising a fingertip touch and a finger joint touch; and

at least one second touch by at least one second finger on the touch sensing surface, the at least one second finger being different from the first finger, wherein the at least one second touch overlaps with the first touches at a time;

wherein

When a first order is that the fingertip touch occurs before the finger joint touch, the first touches and the at least one second touch correspond to performing a twisting action, wherein the first touches in the first order correspond to a first rotation track, and the at least one second touch corresponds to a second rotation track, wherein a rotation direction of the first rotation track is consistent with a rotation direction of the second rotation track, wherein the twisting action indicates that the operation comprises associating a first object corresponding to the first touches with at least one second object corresponding to the at least one second touch; and

when a second order is that the finger joint touch occurs before the fingertip touch, the first touches and the at least one second touch correspond to performing a reverse twisting action, wherein the first touches in the second order correspond to a third rotation track, and a location of the at least one second touch does not change, wherein the reverse twisting action indicates that the operation comprises disassociating at least two associated objects including the first object corresponding to the first touches and the at least one second object corresponding to the at least one second touch.

4. The equipment of claim 3, wherein the processes further comprise:

determining the first object according to an initial touch location of the first touches; and

determining the at least one second object according to an initial touch location of the at least one second touch.

7. The user equipment of claim 3, wherein the first rotation track and the third rotation track indicate a movement track of the first finger.

8. The user equipment of claim 3, wherein the second rotation track indicates a movement track of the at least one second finger.
