Next, please refer to FIG. 2 , FIG. 3 , FIG. 4A , FIG. 4B and FIG. 5 , which relate to a specific embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flow chart of steps of a screen control method according to an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a standby state according to a first embodiment of the present invention. 4A and 4B are schematic diagrams of the first control interface according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a second control interface according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The screen control method of the present invention will be described below by taking the portable electronic device 100 shown in FIG. 1 as an example. However, it should be noted that the screen control method of the present invention is not limited to the portable electronic device 100 shown in FIG. 1 .

First proceed to step S21: define the signal input area on the touch display module.

In this embodiment, the portable electronic device 100 initially exhibits a standby state. The standby state is an operation mode or a screen lock mode in which the portable electronic device 100 still maintains signal connection and operation when it is turned on. As shown in FIG. 3 , when the portable electronic device 100 is in the standby state, the power supply of the touch display module 110 is turned off, and the surface of the touch display module 110 does not display any information and appears black.

As shown in FIG. 3 , in the standby state, the signal input area 400 on the touch display module 110 is defined by the processing module 120 . The processing module 120 can define the entire surface of the touch display module 110 and the touchable part as the signal input area, but the present invention is not limited thereto, for example, only part of the surface of the touch display module 110 can be defined as Signal input area.

Then proceed to step S22: detect the input signal on the signal input area.

Next, the processing module 120 detects the input signal generated by the user's touch through the signal input area 400 . As shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B , the user can approach or touch the signal input area 400 with a finger or a stylus to generate an input signal. It should also be noted that how the processing module 120 detects the input signal on the signal input area 400 should be familiar to those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field of the present invention, and it is within the scope of the prior art, so it will not be repeated in the description.

Then proceed to step S23: displaying the first control interface on the touch display module, wherein the displayed proportion of the first control interface changes according to the sliding distance of the track formed by the input signal.

When the input signal is detected, the processing module 120 must calculate the sliding distance of the track 410 formed by the input signal. As shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B , the user slides on the touch display module 110 using an input tool (such as a finger, a stylus, etc.) to generate a track 410 . The sliding distance of the trajectory 410 is the vertical distance from the starting point of the trajectory 410 (point A in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B ) to the end point of the trajectory 410 (point B in FIG. 4A or point C in FIG. 4B ). The processing module 120 also needs to display the first control interface 420 on the touch display module 110 , wherein the displayed ratio of the first control interface 420 changes according to the sliding distance of the track 410 .

As shown in FIG. 4A , the user uses the input tool to gradually slide down from point A to point B to form a trajectory 410 . The first control interface 420 is not displayed at all before the input tool starts to slide (as shown in FIG. 3 ), and the first control interface 420 is gradually displayed on the touch display module 110 during the sliding process of the input tool until the input tool stops at point B . At this time, the part of the first control interface 420 from point A to point B is displayed on the touch display module 110 , while the remaining part is still not displayed.

As shown in FIG. 4B , when the user uses the input tool to continuously slide on the touch display module 110 without moving away, so that the sliding distance of the trajectory 410 continues to increase, the displayed ratio of the first control interface 420 also increases with the sliding distance. increases until the input tool stops at point C. At this time, the part from point A to point C of the first control interface 420 is displayed on the touch display module 110 , while the rest of the part is still not displayed.

Then proceed to step S24: determine whether the sliding distance is greater than or equal to the critical distance after the input signal is terminated.

The processing module 120 needs to continuously detect whether the user's input component leaves the signal input area 400 and no longer generate input signals. When the input signal is terminated, the processing module 120 needs to determine whether the sliding distance of the track 410 is greater than or equal to the threshold distance, and then execute step S25 or S26. When the sliding distance is greater than or equal to the critical distance, step S25 is performed; otherwise, when the sliding distance is smaller than the critical distance, step S26 is performed. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the critical distance is substantially about two-thirds of the length of the signal input area 400 , but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Then proceed to step S25: replace the first control interface on the touch display module to display the second control interface; or proceed to step S26: stop displaying the first control interface on the touch display module.

Please refer to FIG. 4A , if the user uses the input tool to slide to point B of the track 410, and the input tool leaves the signal input area 400, then the track 410 is terminated, and the processing module 120 judges that the sliding distance is not greater than or equal to the critical distance, and executes Step S26. In step S26 , the processing module 120 stops displaying the first control interface 420 on the touch display module 110 , returns to the standby state without displaying any screen (as shown in FIG. 3 ).

Conversely, if, as shown in FIG. 4B , the input tool leaves the signal input area 400 after the user slides to point C of the trajectory 410 with the input tool, the processing module 120 judges that the sliding distance is greater than or equal to the critical distance, and the processing module 120 replaces the first control interface 420 with the second control interface 500 and displays it on the touch display module 110 (as shown in FIG. 5 ). Complete information is presented on the second control interface 500 for the user to activate various functions of the portable electronic device 100 . Through this process, a more convenient and simple process can be provided for the user to release the screen lock status.

Next, please refer to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B , which are about the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6A is a schematic diagram of the standby state according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6B is a schematic diagram of the first control interface according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 6A , initially the portable electronic device 100 is in a standby state, and the surface of the touch display module 110 does not display any information but is black. The processing module 120 also defines the entire surface of the touch display module 110 , and the touchable part as the signal input area 600 . But different from the first embodiment, in the second embodiment, the signal input area 600 is divided into three different blocks 602 , 604 , 606 , and the blocks 602 , 604 , 606 respectively correspond to a part of the first control interface 620 .

As shown in FIG. 6B, when the processing module 120 detects that the user uses an input tool to slide on one of the blocks 602, 604, 606 (for example, the block 602) to generate an input signal, the sliding distance of the track 610 formed by the input signal will be, A part of the first control interface 620 corresponding to the block 602 (for example, time information in this embodiment) is displayed on the touch display module 110 . Similarly, the displayed scale of the first control interface 620 will change according to the change of the sliding distance.

It should be noted here that the screen control method of the present invention is not limited to the sequence of the above steps, as long as the purpose of the present invention can be achieved, the sequence of the above steps can also be changed.

Of course, the present invention can also have other various embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and deformations according to the present invention without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, but these corresponding Changes and deformations should belong to the scope of protection of the appended claims of the present invention.
