Description

Mode switching system and method

The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications, and more particularly to a mode switching system and method for a mobile phone.

When people are in a meeting or class, they often encounter mobile phones that suddenly become out of date because they forget to mute, which can easily affect the venue or class. At this time, we usually rush to find a mobile phone to turn off the ringtone, and the more hurried The more you can't smoothly turn off the mobile phone ringtone.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a mode switching system applied to a mobile phone, the mobile phone comprising a touch sensing area, the mobile phone defining a ringing mode and a silent mode, the mobile phone storing a mode switching path, the mobile phone The system includes: a touch recognition module, configured to: when the mobile phone is in the ringtone mode, receive the incoming call or the short message signal, identify the touch signal generated by the touch sensing area in response to the touch operation of the user, and generate a touch path corresponding to the touch signal; And determining whether the touch path corresponding to the touch signal is the same as the stored mode switching path; and the mode switching module, configured to switch the mobile phone to the silent mode when the touch path corresponding to the touch signal is the same as the stored mode switching path.

It is also necessary to provide a mode switching method for a mobile phone, the mobile phone comprising a touch sensing area, the mobile phone defining a ringing mode and a silent mode, the mobile phone storing a mode switching path, the method comprising the steps of: when the mobile phone is at When the ringtone mode receives the incoming call or the short message signal, the touch signal generated by the touch sensing area in response to the touch operation of the user generates a touch path corresponding to the touch signal; and determines whether the touch path corresponding to the touch signal is the same as the stored mode switching path; The touch path corresponding to the touch signal is the same as the stored mode switching path, and the mobile phone is switched to the silent mode.

The mode switching system and method of the present invention enables the user to control the movement through a touch operation on the touch sensing area when the mobile phone is in the ringing mode to receive an incoming call or short message signal during a meeting or class, and the mobile phone ringing sounds out of time. The phone switches from ringtone mode to silent mode, and turns off the incoming call or SMS ringtone, so as not to affect the order of the venue or the classroom, and avoids the embarrassment of the user to operate the mobile phone hurriedly.

Referring to Figure 1, there is shown an operational environment diagram of a preferred embodiment of the mode switching system of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, the mobile phone 1 includes a mode switching system 10, a communication unit 11, a processor 12, a memory 13, a touch sensing area 14, and a speaker 15. The communication unit 11 is configured to receive a wireless signal from a base station (not shown) and transmit a wireless signal to the base station, so that the mobile phone 1 communicates with other mobile phones through the base station. The processor 12 is used to control the operation of the mobile phone 1. The memory 13 is used to store a mode switching path and other materials, such as incoming calls and SMS ring tones. The touch sensing area 14 is configured to generate a touch signal in response to a user's touch operation, such as generating a continuous touch signal, indicating that the user generates a sliding operation on the touch sensing area 14. The speaker 15 is used to output a sound such as an incoming call or a short message. In the present embodiment, the position of the touch sensing area 14 is provided at the top of the mobile phone 1, thereby facilitating the user to operate in the touch sensing area 14.

The mobile phone 1 defines a ring pattern and a silent mode. Normally, the mobile phone 1 user will set the mobile phone 1 in the ringtone mode so that it can hear the incoming call or the SMS ringtone in time. However, when the mobile phone 1 user is in a quiet mode, such as in a conference room meeting, the user wants the mobile phone 1 to be in a silent mode, that is, when the mobile phone calls or receives a text message, no outgoing call or short message ringtone is issued. The mode switching system 10 is configured to switch the mobile phone 1 from the ring mode to the silent mode in response to the user's touch operation in the touch sensing area 14. Referring to FIG. 2, it is a functional module diagram of the mode switching system 10 of FIG. The mode switching system 10 includes a pattern recognition module 21, an audio output control module 22, a sensing area control module 23, a touch recognition module 24, a determination module 25, and a mode switching module 26. For the specific implementation of the functions of the modules of the mode switching system 10, please refer to FIG. 3, which is a flowchart of a preferred embodiment of the mode switching method of the mobile phone 1 of the present invention.

In step S31, before the mobile phone 1 receives the incoming call or short message signal in the ringtone mode, the sensing area control module 23 controls the touch sensing area 14 to be in a closed state, and does not respond to an external input operation.

Step S32, when the mobile phone 1 receives the incoming call or short message signal in the ringtone mode, the mode recognition module 21 recognizes that the current working mode of the mobile phone is the ringtone mode, and the audio output control module 22 controls the speaker 15 to output an incoming call or short message ringtone. The sensing area control module 23 generates an activation signal to activate the touch sensing area 14 to respond to the user's touch operation, so that when the user erroneously operates the touch sensing area 14, the mobile phone 1 is prevented from being misjudged, that is, only when the mobile phone 1 is in the ringing mode. In the case where an incoming call or short message signal is received, the touch operation on the touch sensing area 14 is recognized.

In step S33, the touch recognition module 24 identifies the touch signal generated by the touch sensing area 14 in response to the touch operation of the user, and generates a touch path corresponding to the touch signal. The touch signal may be continuous, and the touch path may be a straight line or a curved line. Wait.

In step S34, the determining module 25 determines whether the touch path corresponding to the touch signal is the same as the stored mode switching path. When the touch path corresponding to the touch signal is different from the stored mode switching path, the process returns to step S33.

In step S35, when the touch path corresponding to the touch signal is the same as the stored mode switching path, the mode switching module 26 switches the mobile phone 1 to the silent mode, and the audio output control module 22 controls the speaker 15 not to output an incoming call or a short message ringtone.

In step S36, when the touch path corresponding to the touch signal is the same as the stored mode switching path, the sensing area control module 23 turns off the touch sensing area 14, and controls the touch sensing area 14 not to respond to external input operations, thereby avoiding the outside touch sensitive area. 14 misoperations occurred.

Therefore, the mode switching system 10 of the present invention enables the user to touch the touch sensing area 14 when the mobile phone 1 receives an incoming call or short message signal in the ringing mode during the meeting or class, and the mobile phone 1 rings in an untimely manner. The operation is controlled to switch the mobile phone 1 from the ring mode to the silent mode, and the incoming call or the short message ringtone is turned off, so that the order of the venue or the classroom is not affected, and the user's hurried operation of the mobile phone 1 is avoided.
