具体实施方式
这里将详细地对示例性实施例进行说明，其示例表示在附图中。下面的描述涉及附图时，除非另有表示，不同附图中的相同数字表示相同或相似的要素。以下示例性实施例中所描述的实施方式并不代表与本申请相一致的所有实施方式。相反，它们仅是与如所附权利要求书中所述的、本申请的一些方面相一致的装置和方法的例子。
在本申请使用的术语是仅仅出于描述特定实施例的目的，而非旨在限制本申请。除非另作定义，本申请使用的技术术语或者科学术语应当为本申请所属领域内具有一般技能的人士所理解的通常意义。本申请说明书以及权利要求书中使用的“一个”或者“一”等类似词语也不表示数量限制，而是表示存在至少一个。除非另行指出，“包括”或者“包含”等类似词语意指出现在“包括”或者“包含”前面的元件或者物件涵盖出现在“包括”或者“包含”后面列举的元件或者物件及其等同，而并不排除其他元件或者物件。“连接”或者“相连”等类似的词语并非限定于物理的或者机械的连接，而且可以包括电性的连接，而不管是直接的还是间接的。
在本申请说明书和所附权利要求书中所使用的单数形式的“一种”、“所述”和“该”也 旨在包括复数形式，除非上下文清楚地表示其他含义。还应当理解，本文中使用的术语“和/或”是指并包含一个或多个相关联的列出项目中的任何一个或其所有可能组合。
在一些实施例中，智能手表采用的触控显示组件包括触摸屏和显示屏。在一个例子中，触控显示组件具有In Cell Touch Panel结构，即触摸部嵌在显示屏中；或者，触控显示组件具有On Cell Touch Panel结构，即触摸屏覆盖在显示屏上。
通常，触控显示组件中的触摸屏采用电容式触摸屏。电容式触摸屏包括多个触控电极，以及与触控电极连接的触控芯片，其中，触控电极为覆盖触摸屏的氧化铟锡图形(ITO Pattern)。多个触控电极按照行和列排布，同一行或者同一列中的相邻触控电极电性导通(例如通过桥结构连接)。并且，每一行和每一列触控电极均通过走线与触控芯片连接。
当具有导电属性的外部物体(例如手指、触控笔等)作用于触控显示组件上时(例如外部物体到触控显示组件中触摸屏的距离小于预设阈值时)，外部物体与触控电极产生感应电容。触控芯片检测该感应电容以确定外部物体作用于触控显示组件的位置信息，进而实现触控显示组件的触控功能。
通常，智能手表中在触控显示组件的上方设置金属指针。这样的情况下，当外部物体作用于金属指针的上方时，金属指针会干扰触控电极产生感应电容，进而影响触控准确性。针对这一问题，已提出了以下两种解决方案。
第一种方案，触控显示组件采用触摸屏和显示屏分离式设计。其中，触摸屏设置在智能手表表身的盖板上，显示屏设置在表身内，触摸屏和显示屏通过柔性电路板连接。金属指针设置在触摸屏和显示屏之间。以此方式兼顾触控、显示和金属指针的正常使用。
第二种方案，采用透明的触控显示组件设置在指针的上方。以此方式，通过透明的显示屏使得金属指针得以对外露出，并避免金属指针对触控显示组件的干扰。
但是，第一种方案的触控显示组件和显示屏组装难度大，第二种方案中透明的触控显示组件的生产成本高。
基于上述情况，本公开实施例提供了一种智能手表及其触控方法。
图1是根据本公开一示例性实施例的智能手表的结构示意图。如图1所示，该智能手表可以包括固定件800以及与固定件800连接的表身100。固定件800可以实现智能手表的可穿戴功能，例如固定件800为金属表带、皮质表带、或者橡胶表带等。表身 100可以提供智能手表的操作界面，用于实现智能手表的触控功能、显示功能、和时间指示功能等。
如图2所示，表身100可以包括盖板110、侧围120和底板130。盖板110与底板130相对设置，侧围120位于盖板110和底板130之间，通过盖板110、侧围120和底板130围合形成腔体。在一个例子中，盖板110为透明盖板(例如树脂盖板、玻璃盖板等)，便于腔体的内部向外展示。
在表身100的腔体中，可以设置指针200和触控显示组件300，指针200位于触控显示组件300上方。在指针200与盖板110之间没有遮挡。据此，若盖板110为透明的，则用户能够从外部直接观察到指针200以及触控显示组件300上显示的未被指针200遮挡的内容。
指针200可以至少包括时针210和分针220。在一个例子中，指针200还包括秒针230。时针210、分针220和秒针230可同轴转动。
触控显示组件300可以包括用于实现触控功能的触摸屏310，以及用于实现显示功能的显示屏320。当触控显示组件300为In Cell Touch Panel结构时，触摸屏310嵌在显示屏320中。当触控显示组件300为On Cell Touch Panel结构时，触摸屏310覆盖在显示屏320上(如图2所示)。
在一个例子中，显示屏320可独立于触摸屏310使能。具体来说，触摸屏310使能时，显示屏320可以显示图像或者不显示图像。在一个例子中，显示屏320和触摸屏310同步使能。具体来说，触摸屏310使能时，显示屏320可以同步显示图像，以辅助触控操作。
在一些例子中，盖板110到触控显示组件300的距离可以被设置，使得具有导电性能的外部物体(例如手指、触控笔等)接触盖板110时，能够触发触控显示组件300产生感应电容。
如图3-图7所示，触摸屏310可以包括触控区310A和非触控区310B。采用这样的方式，当触控显示组件300使能时，只有触控区310A具有触控功能，而非触控区310B不具有触控功能。
作为一种实施方式，如图3所示，在触控区310A内设置多个触控电极311，在非触控区310B内不设置触控电极。即，仅在触摸屏310与触控区310A相对应的区域内设置触控电极311。并且，在触控区310A内，触控电极311按照行或列排布。同一行 或者同一列中相邻的触控电极311之间通过桥312连接。
以此方式，触控区310A具有触控功能，而非触控区310B在触控显示组件300使能时也不会具有触控功能。采用这样的方式可以消除非触控区310B的触控功能。
作为另一种实施方式，如图4所示，在触控区310A和非触控区310B均设置多个触控电极311。在触控区310A内，触控电极311按照预设方向排列并电连接。例如，在触控区310A内，触控电极311按照行或列排布，且同一行或者同一列中相邻的触控电极311之间通过桥312连接。在非触控区310B内，相邻的触控电极311之间绝缘。例如，在非触控区310B内，不论是同一行还是同一列中相邻的触控电极311之间均不设置桥。
以此方式，通过在部分区域去除桥以切断相邻触控电极311之间的电连接，在触摸屏310上划分出触控区310A和非触控区310B。这种方式无需更改触摸屏310中触控电极311的排布情况，便于生产制造。
作为另一种实施方式，在触控区和非触控区均设置有触控电极。并且，在触控区和非触控区内，同一行或者同一列中的相邻触控电极之间电连接(例如通过桥连接)。换言之，这种方式不改变触摸屏的结构。在触摸屏310使能时，通过智能手表中控制组件的控制，使得仅触控区内的触控电极使能，非触控区内的触控电极不使能。例如，可以不为非触控区内的触控电极提供电信号，和/或不接收非触控区内触控电极产生的电信号。
以此方式，可通过智能手表中的控制组件控制实现非触控区中触控电极不使能，使得非触控区不具备触控功能。这样的方式无需改变触摸屏的结构，降低终端设备的硬件成本。并且，以此方式，能够实现用户自定义非触控区，进一步提升用户体验。
需要说明的是，附图中仅以菱形触控电极311为例进行展示，也可采用矩形、三角形等其他形状的触控电极。
在一个实施例中，非触控区310B的至少两侧设置有触控区310A。此时，触控区310A中触控电极311所成行或列被非触控区310B打断。在这样的情况下，在触摸屏310中增加走线，以将触摸屏310位于非触控区310B两侧的触控电极311与触控芯片连接。据此，保障触摸屏310的触控区310A内具有触控功能。
在一个实施例中，在平行于指针200转动面的平面内，非触控区310B贯穿触控显示组件300，并且非触控区310B的对称轴与触控区310A的对称轴重合。采用这样的方 式，在非触控区310B两侧的触控区310A的面积相同。因此在触控操作时，触控区310A内触控电极311产生的感应电容是对称的，从而有助于提升触控显示组件300的触控准确度，提升用户体验。
在一些实施例中，如图5所示，非触控区310B未贯穿触控区310A。或者，非触控区310B贯穿触控区310A。例如图3所示，非触控区310B沿3点钟到9点钟的方向(即横向)贯穿触控显示组件300。或者，如图6所示，非触控区310B沿6点钟到12点钟的方向(即纵向)贯穿触控显示组件300。或者，如图7所示，触控显示组件300上设置有两个非触控区310B，两个非触控区310B相交，例如垂直相交、呈45°夹角或60°夹角相交等(图中仅示出了两个非触控区310B垂直相交的情况)。
在一些实施例中，非触控区310B的面积大于指针200在触控显示组件300上投影的面积。当指针200包括时针210、分针220、和秒针230时，非触控区310B的面积大于时针210、分针220、和秒针230在触控显示组件300上的各自投影面积中的最大值。采用这样的方式，在指针200转动过程中，指针200在触控显示组件300上的投影在某些时间可以完全位于非触控区310B内。
在一个实施例中，智能手表还包括设置在表身100的腔体中的控制组件400。参见图8，控制组件400可以包括与触控显示组件300电耦合的控制器410。示例地，控制器410可以与触控显示组件300中的触摸屏310的触控芯片通过走线连接，还可以与触控显示组件300中的显示屏320通过走线连接。以此方式，控制器410可以控制触控显示组件300实现触控区310A的触控功能以及实现显示功能。并且，触摸屏310的触控芯片还可将接收到的触发位置信息发送至控制器410，以供控制器410根据触控操作进行反馈。
控制组件400还与指针200连接，用于驱动指针200转动以指示时间。控制组件400还可以包括设置在显示屏320下方的电路板420，控制器410安装在电路板420上。触控显示组件300可以通过走线与电路板420连接。
在一个实施例中，在表身100内设置有支撑件500。参见图2和图8，支撑件500可以设置在触控显示组件300下方。支撑件500的顶板510支撑触控显示组件300，保障触控显示组件300稳定。支撑件500的顶板510边缘向下延伸形成侧边520。侧边520与电路板420相接，使得支撑件500与电路板420之间形成安装腔。控制器410或者电路板420上的其他元器件设置在安装腔内，从而保障控制器410及其他元器件具有稳定 的工作环境。
在电路板420中可以设置有第一安装孔421。控制组件400还可以包括安装在第一安装孔421内的驱动器430。例如，驱动器430与第一安装孔421过盈配合(interference fit)，或者驱动器430设置在第一安装孔421内并通过连接件或者胶黏剂与电路板420连接。通过第一安装孔421，可以兼顾驱动器430的安装稳定性以及控制组件400的整体结构集成度。
并且，在支撑件500中可以设置有与第一安装孔421对应的第二安装孔530。驱动器430可以插入第二安装孔530内，从而进一步保障驱动器430的安装稳定性。
在一个实施例中，驱动器430作为智能手表的机芯，包括驱动马达和传动组件。驱动器430中的驱动马达与控制器410电耦合，以便控制器410控制驱动器430中驱动马达启动或关闭。
在一个例子中，驱动器430中驱动马达通过输入/输出(I/O)接口与控制器410电耦合。控制器410输出驱动信号控制驱动马达转动。在一个例子中，驱动器430还包括与驱动马达电连接的驱动芯片，驱动芯片与控制器410通信连接。该驱动芯片可以接收控制器410发送的驱动指令以控制驱动马达转动。
传动组件与驱动马达连接，并且传动组件包括与指针200连接的转动轴431。当控制器410控制驱动器430使能时，驱动马达带动传动组件转动，使得转动轴431转动，进而驱动指针200转动。
需要说明的是，当智能手表包括有时针210、分针220和秒针230时，驱动器430可以包括分别与时针210、分针220和秒针230相对应的驱动马达。传动组件还可以包括切换组件，用来使转动轴431分别与不同驱动马达连接，以分别驱动时针210、分针220和秒针230。上述驱动器430中驱动马达和传动组件的实现方式可参见例如机械手表机芯结构。
在一个实施例中，如图2或图8所示，控制组件400中的控制器410、电路板420、驱动器430位于触控显示组件300的下方，从而避免控制组件400的大部分外露。在这样的情况下，在触控显示组件300中可以设置有贯穿触摸屏310和显示屏320的通孔。转动轴431穿过该通孔，伸出至触控显示组件300的与驱动器430相对的一侧，以与指针200连接。
在一个实施例中，控制组件400还包括与控制器410电耦合的检测件，该检测件 用于检测触控启动操作。控制器410可以响应于该检测件检测到触控启动操作，启动触控显示组件300的触控功能，即启动触控显示组件300的触控区310A的触控功能。
示例地，如图2或图8所示，安装在表身100的侧围120上的按键440可以用作该检测件。在这样的情况下，可以通过检测按键440被按压时输出的触发信号来检测触控启动操作。并且按键440可以与控制器410电耦合，使得控制器410可以接收该触发信号以启动触控显示组件300的触控功能。
作为一个例子，参见图9，当检测件检测到触控启动操作时，控制器410可以控制驱动器430带动指针200转动，使指针200在触控显示组件300上的投影位于非触控区310B内。然后，控制器410可以启动触控显示组件300的触控功能。此时，在盖板110和触控区310A之间不存在阻碍，使得指针200不会干扰触控区310A内的触控电极311产生感应电容。并且，非触控区310B的面积大于指针200在触控显示组件300上的投影面积
采用这样的方式，可以消除触控区310A和盖板110之间的阻碍，避免指针200对触控显示组件300的触控操作的干扰。据此，可以保障触控操作顺利进行。
在一个例子中，如图2所示，在表身100的底板130上可以设置有生命体征检测组件600。该生命体征检测组件600可以与控制器410电连接，以将检测到的生命体征信息发送至控制器410。在一个例子中，生命体征检测组件600用于检测心率、血压、血氧浓度、心电信号等。并且，在表身100内可以设置有电池组件700，该电池组件700用于为触控显示组件300、控制器410、以及生命体征检测组件600等供电。
综上，本公开实施例提供的智能手表可以避免指针对触控显示组件造成的干扰，从而提升触控准确度和灵敏度，改善用户体验。并且，触控显示组件300为触摸屏310和显示屏320的一体结构，便于组装。
本公开实施例还提供了一种智能手表触控方法，该方法适用于上述的智能手表。如图10所示，该触控方法可以包括步骤S101～S102。
步骤S101、响应于触控启动操作，控制组件控制指针转动，使指针在触控显示组件上的投影位于非触控区内。
步骤S102、在所述投影位于非触控区内的情况下，控制组件启动触控显示组件的触控功能。
以此方式，当启动触控显示组件的触控功能时，指针已经转动至与非触控区对应处。因此在触控操作中指针不会对触控显示组件造成干扰，从而可以避免出现触控误差，提升用户体验。
在一个实施例中，步骤S101中控制组件控制指针转动可以通过如图11所示的步骤S1011～S1013来实现。
步骤S1011、控制组件获取指针的当前位置信息和非触控区的位置信息。
在一个例子中，指针200的当前位置信息和非触控区310B的位置信息均以在十二点时指针200的位置为参考位。据此，指针200的当前位置信息可以包括：在当前时刻指针200(包括时针210、分针220、和秒针230)与参考位沿指定方向(例如顺时针方向，或者逆时针方向)所成的夹角。
非触控区310B的位置信息可以包括非触控区310B的对称轴与参考位沿指定方向所成的夹角。采用这样的方式，可以确保指针转动后其在触控显示组件上的投影能够完全位于非触控区内。并且，非触控区310B的位置信息属于触控显示组件300的固定位置信息，例如可以预存储在控制组件400中。故控制组件400响应于触控启动操作，可以直接读取非触控区310B的位置信息。
在一个例子中，当通过控制组件控制非触控区内的触控电极不使能而实现非触控区的非触控效果时，步骤S1011中获取非触控区的位置信息可以通过以下方式实现。确定当前智能手表使用模式，例如左手佩戴模式，或者右手佩戴模式。在一个例子中，使用模式为用户预先设定，控制组件可以直接获取。根据当前智能手表使用模式确定非触控区的位置信息。示例地，在控制组件中存储有使用模式与非触控区位置信息的对应关系，因此通过确定的使用模式可获取非触控区的位置信息。
关于使用模式与非触控区的对应关系，在一个例子中，在左手佩戴模式下，非触控区靠近智能手表触控显示组件的左侧(即靠近9点钟一侧)，而在右手佩戴模式下，非触控区靠近智能手表触控显示组件的右侧(即靠近3点钟一侧)。或者，非触控区的位置信息可以通过大数据统计分析大量用户的常规触控位置而得到。这样，可以将非触控区设置于用户触控操作较少的区域，提升用户体验。
需要说明的是，当通过控制组件控制非触控区内的触控电极不使能而实现非触控区的非触控效果时，用户还可以根据具体需求自定义非触控区的位置。举例来说，如果表盘不同和/或手表应用的排序不同，需要触摸的控件位置可能是不一样的。因此用户可 以基于表盘和/或手表应用的排序，自定义非触控区的位置，以方便触控，提升用户体验。
步骤S1012、根据指针当前位置信息和非触控区的位置信息，确定指针和非触控区所成的角中较小的角度作为第一角，以及，指针的转动方向。
例如，若沿顺时针方向指针和非触控区成120°角，沿逆时针方向指针和非触控区成240°角，则可以确定第一角为120°。并且，可以确定指针的转动方向，使得当指针沿该方向转动时，第一角减小。例如上述示例中，可以确定指针的转动方向为顺时针方向。采用这样的方式，可以迅速将指针转动至与非触控区对应的位置。
步骤S1013、根据所述第一角和所述转动方向控制所述指针转动。
在一个例子中，如图10例示的智能手表的触控方法还包括：控制组件响应于触控启动操作控制显示屏使能。即，显示屏与触摸屏可以同时使能。示例地，触摸屏使能时，显示屏可以同步使能并显示辅助触控操作的图像，例如应用图标、选项菜单图标等。
在一个例子中，该触控方法还包括：控制组件响应于显示启动操作控制显示屏使能。作为一种示例方式，显示屏和触摸屏分别与控制组件连接，因此控制组件能够分别控制显示屏和触摸屏使能。此时，控制组件可以响应于显示启动操作控制显示屏使能。例如，显示启动操作为表身翻转预设角度操作，或者按键触发操作等。
在这样的情况下，控制组件可以控制指针转动以显示时间，同时显示屏显示预设图像(例如风景照片等)，从而改善智能手表的外观和用户体验。控制组件控制触摸屏使能时，可以同步控制显示屏显示预设图像，以辅助触控操作。
在一个实施例中，如图12所示，该触控方法还包括步骤S201～S202。
步骤S201、检测触控启动操作。在一个例子中，智能手表包括与控制组件连接的检测件。例如，检测件为与控制组件电耦合的按键，被按压时输出触发信号。可以通过检测按键输出的触发信号，检测触控启动操作。检测件还可采用其他器件，例如速度传感器、旋转角度传感器等。
响应于未检测到触控启动操作，控制组件执行步骤S202，即控制组件驱动指针转动以显示时间，以及关闭触控显示组件的触控功能。响应于检测到触控启动操作，控制组件执行步骤S101和步骤S102。
在一个实施例中，如图13所示，该触控方法还包括步骤S301～S302。
步骤S301、响应于触控关闭操作，控制组件关闭触控显示组件的触控功能。
示例地，若在预设时间段内控制组件未检测到触控操作，则可以视为检测到触控关闭操作。例如，控制组件可以记录每一次触控操作的时刻，并监测任意一次触控操作之后预设时间段内是否存在触控操作。若在预设时间段内未监测到触控操作，则控制组件可以控制触控显示组件关闭触控功能。
或者，可以在触控显示组件上提供触控关闭操作的虚拟按键，虚拟按键被触发时输出触控关闭信号。控制组件可以响应于检测到触控关闭信号，关闭触控显示组件的触控功能。
步骤S302、响应于触控关闭操作，控制组件控制指针转动至与当前时刻相对应的位置。
需要说明的是，步骤S301和步骤S302的顺序可以改变。在一个例子中，先进行步骤S302，后进行步骤S301；或者同步进行步骤S301和步骤S302。
上述实施例仅为示例性的，并不旨在限制本公开。本领域技术人员基于本公开可能容易想到本公开的实施例的其它变型、用途或者适应性变化。这些变型、用途或者适应性变化都应被视为在本公开的范围内。
