Description
Technical field
The invention relates to the input tool kind discrimination method at a kind of user interface, and particularly use relevant for every extension of above-mentioned discrimination method.
Background technology
In the middle of the life of the busy compactness of modern, everything stresses convenient and efficient has just like become a kind of very general habits and customs.With hand-held devices such as mobile phone or personal digital assistants is example, and except characteristics such as must having and build is light and handy simultaneously concurrently powerful, the user also can wish to open and to carry out needed function mostly in the extremely short time.Then all the more so for the function (for example writing news in brief or inquiring call history) that the user more often uses.The user if can open some common function apace, certainly will can improve hand-held device convenience in the use when the operation hand-held device.
In order to meet the demand, the hot key that corresponding specific common function is set on the keyboard of device or the shell is all being held at hand at the beginning of the design one after another by the manufacturer of hand-held device.In view of the above, when the user presses hot key, just can open corresponding common function rapidly, and then shorten and search and the needed time of open function.For example, some chamber of commerce of mobile phone manufacturing plant is provided with a button of opening camera function at the mobile phone side, when the user presses this button, just can start the camera function of mobile phone immediately.
Yet, heal light and handy trend in the volume day of hand-held device under, manufacturer can be very limited in order to the space that hot key is set.In addition, the user more can not be ignored the requirement of hand-held device external form, external form in order to ensure hand-held device meets the succinct requirement that waits attractive in appearance, and the number of manufacturer's more necessary control hot key when design is so only can reach the demand of quick connection common function by hot key few in number.
Just because of this, in hand-held device, only there is the function of few part to have corresponding hot key and is available for users to quick unlatching.But when user's desire is carried out the function that does not have corresponding hot key, then must carry out breakdown action by the mode of operation menu.Because the menu of hand-held device is tree structure mostly, wherein menu shows that mostly meeting is on the display of hand-held device, therefore the user may with the overlapping touch control induction device of display on to display shown user interface click enter a plurality of submenus after, can find the function choosing-item that needs.For some normal function of using, if all must open execution by the way at every turn, will certainly expend many running times, will cause the inconvenience in the use in view of the above.
Generally speaking, at present the user utilizes contacting of being produced between finger or pointer and the touch control induction device or the induction behavior clicks action, but on general hand-held device, no matter be to click by finger or pointer, the user interface that is provided on the hand-held device there is no corresponding difference (user interface as shown in Figure 6).But when the user can have different input feature vectors respectively when utilizing finger and pointer that touch control induction device is imported; In general pointer can be come precisely than user's finger, thus can on the user interface, carry out comparatively accurate controlling, for example in typewriting on the shown dummy keyboard that goes out of display or arranging on the menu of comparatively dense and choosing.But then, directly moving to the user with finger on touch control induction device is intuition, fast and easily comparatively, because can save the action of extracting pointer and just can operate with one hand, although finger can be bigger with the contact area of touch control induction device, also be easier to thereby false touch user interface on other option.
In sum, general hand-held device has some shortcomings at present, and one is that the menu that some specific function of hand-held device needs the user to launch layer by layer afterwards could be chosen startup.Its two person of being to use is on general hand-held device during the enterprising line operate in shown user interface, utilizing pointer to control can be comparatively flexible, concerning the user, comparatively bother, and the words of utilizing finger to operate, comparatively convenient concerning the user, but the flexibility ratio of controlling decline is easy to generate false touch, concerning the user, use pointer still to point and all be difficult to reach make the best of both worlds.
Therefore, if hand-held device can be at different input tools, give application different or mode of operation with the user, when for example using pointer, hand-held device has a kind of application or the mode of operation that is suitable for the pointer use, and when using finger, hand-held device has another kind application or the mode of operation that is suitable for pointing use, and then the user can feel more convenient when using hand-held device.In addition, how in these different application or mode of operation, to select the problem that also is thus to be extended out.
In addition, the shell of traditional hand-held device is close to the edge of display area that display is touched in control usually, and it is many to control the touch-control sensing plane protrusion that touches display.Because shell protuberance branch stops the control of input tool (comprising finger or pointer) and touches operation and easy scratch finger; therefore the user can not be fast and is effectively touched the pixel that the edge of display area of display is touched in control; and can't carry out very smooth-going touch control operation; in addition; the non-display area that display is touched in control still has the ability of touch-control sensing; and the shell of general hand-held device can cover this zone usually; except that the touch control operation that hinders the user, and the application that allows control touch the touch-control sensing of display is restricted.

Fig. 1 is the process flow diagram of the method for operating at the user interface that illustrates according to one embodiment of the invention.See also Fig. 1, present embodiment be explanation when the user in operation during hand-hold device, hand-held device is how according to the difference of input tool, and then the detailed step at the user interface of conversion correspondence automatically.Wherein, hand-held device comprises mobile phone, personal digital assistant or smart mobile phone or the like, does not limit its scope at this.
When the user utilized input tool that hand-held device is operated, at first shown in step 110, hand-held device is receiving inputted signal in a user interface.Then in step 120, during according to the input tool contact or near touch control induction device, the area that touch control induction device is responded to, pressure, temperature or image are judged the tool kind of input tool according to this.Shown in step 130, hand-held device is according to the difference of tool kind at last, and conversion also shows corresponding user interface.
Be noted that the aforesaid operations method can be divided into two parts, its part is the method (being step 110 and step 120) of the kind of identification input tool, and its two part is a method (being step 130) of utilizing identification result to use.That is to say that in the middle of method flow shown in Figure 1, the present invention provides the discrimination method that comprises step 110 and step 120 at least, the then visual practical application request of the step after step 120 is designed.Step 130 among Fig. 1 is only in order to a kind of embodiment (conversion at user interface) on expression is used respectively.In the present embodiment, hand-held device can show corresponding user interface according to different tool kinds.For convenience of description, be to distinguish that two kinds of different input tools are example in following embodiment, pointer (stylus) and user's finger for example, and come the present invention is done further explanation with the flow process of changing corresponding user interface according to two kinds of different tool kinds respectively.In the scope of the invention, then can comprise the tool kind of any amount.
In the following embodiments, the user interface of corresponding pointer is the general user interface that comprises the repertoire of hand-held device, and the user interface of corresponding finger then is the common function interface that shows the partial function of hand-held device.The function that is presented on the common function interface can be preestablished according to its custom or demand by the user.
Present embodiment has several different methods can judge the kind of input tool, and different determination methods needs different hardware design, shown in the hand-held device calcspar of Fig. 2 A to 2D, below explanation in regular turn.
The hand-held device of Fig. 2 A comprises display 210, touch control induction device 220 and processor 230.Display 210 is in order to show the user interface, and touch control induction device 220 for example be contact panel (touch panel), in order to the operation of detection input tool, and produces an input signal according to the operation of input tool.Processor 230 is coupled to display 210 and touch control induction device 220, in order to the tool kind of judgement input tool, and according to the corresponding user interface of tool kind conversion.
The touch control induction device 220 of Fig. 2 A comprises resistance sensor (resistive sensor device) 240.Contact position and pressure when resistance sensor can be responded to the input tool operation, so the input signal that touch control induction device 220 provides comprises information such as input tool position contacting and pressure.It should be noted that resistance sensor can only provide the input signal of a contact point at one time, and contact point can be distributed in the contact area of input tool and resistance sensor, shown in Fig. 3 A and 3B.Resistance sensor itself only can judge whether to contact with the input tool generation, and can't distinguish the classification of input tool, therefore need to cooperate method provided by the present invention, judge the kind of input tool by the input signal of a plurality of contact points of being collected in during certain.The contact point t-1 to t-4 of the pointer that illustrates as Fig. 3 A, because the contact area of pointer is less, so contact point is more concentrated, can judge the input tool that contacts with resistance sensor by method provided by the present invention is pointer.Fig. 3 B illustrates the contact point t-1 to t-4 of finger, because the contact area of finger is bigger, so contact point disperses, can judges the input tool that contacts with resistance sensor by method provided by the present invention and be finger.Because resistance sensor can only provide the input signal of a contact point at one time, the processor 230 of carrying out method provided by the present invention (being described in detail in the following) can continue the information of write input in one section special time, calculate its mobility scale, judge input tool kind according to the size of this mobility scale then.
Four contact points with Fig. 3 A and 3B are example, suppose that the input signal that contact point t-i produces is that (Pi), wherein i can be 1,2,3,4 for Xi, Yi.Xi is the Building X mark of the contact position of t-i, and Yi is the Building Y mark of the contact position of t-i, and Pi is the contact pressure of t-i.It is as follows that processor 230 can be distinguished the mean value of calculating location and pressure:
Building X mark mean value: Xa=(X1+X2+X3+X4)/4
Building Y mark mean value: Ya=(Y1+Y2+Y3+Y4)/4
Pressure mean values: Pa=(P1+P2+P3+P4)/4
The mobility scale that can distinguish calculating location and pressure then is as follows:
Building X mark mobility scale: Xd=|Xa-X1|+|Xa-X2|+|Xa-X3|+|Xa-X4|
Building Y mark mobility scale: Yd=|Ya-Y1|+|Ya-Y2|+|Ya-Y3|+|Ya-Y4|
Pressure variation scope: Pd=|Pa-P1|+|Pa-P2|+|Pa-P3|+|Pa-P4|
Mobility scale as for how according to position and pressure is judged tool kind, details shown in the flow process of Fig. 4 A to 4C, below explanation in regular turn.
Fig. 4 A is the performed input tool kind discrimination method process flow diagram of the processor 230 of Fig. 2 A, and the flow process of Fig. 4 A is to judge tool kind according to the mobility scale of contact position.At first begin to detect the contact of input tool, mark every one section X, Building Y of writing down contact point default sample time in step 420 in step 410.Then check in step 430 whether sample size is enough, if satisfied the predetermined number of processor 230, flow process enters step 440, continues record otherwise get back to step 420.
Next, calculate mobility scale Xd, the Yd of contact position in step 440, whether check Xd＜Vx and Yd＜Vy in step 450, wherein Vx and Vy are the preset range of processor 230.If the mobility scale of two coordinates is all less than the corresponding preset scope, processor 230 judges that in step 460 input tool kind is a pointer, and the user interface is converted to corresponding common user interface.Failing processor 230 judges that in step 470 input tool kind is finger, is converted to corresponding common function interface with the user interface.
Fig. 4 B is the process flow diagram of the performed another kind of input tool kind discrimination method of processor 230, and the flow process of Fig. 4 B is to judge tool kind according to the mobility scale of contact pressure.Processor 230 every one section contact pressure that writes down input tool sample time, calculates the mobility scale Pd of contact pressure in step 441 in step 421, whether checks Pd＜Vp in step 451 then, and wherein Vp is the preset range of processor 230.If Pd＜Vp, processor 230 judges that in step 460 input tool kind is a pointer, and the user interface is converted to corresponding common user interface.Failing processor 230 judges that in step 470 input tool kind is finger, is converted to corresponding common function interface with the user interface.All the other steps of Fig. 4 B are identical with Fig. 4 A, repeat no more.
Fig. 4 C is the process flow diagram of the performed another kind of input tool kind discrimination method of processor 230, and the flow process of Fig. 4 C is simultaneously according to the mobility scale judgement tool kind of contact position and pressure.Processor 230 in step 422 every one section contact position and pressure that writes down input tool sample time, calculate mobility scale Xd, the Yd of contact position and the mobility scale Pd of contact pressure in step 442, whether check Xd＜Vx, Yd＜Vy and Pd＜Vp in step 452 then.If processor 230 judges that in step 460 input tool kind is a pointer, and the user interface is converted to corresponding common user interface.Failing processor 230 judges that in step 470 input tool kind is finger, is converted to corresponding common function interface with the user interface.All the other steps of Fig. 4 C are identical with Fig. 4 A, repeat no more.
Next be the input tool kind discrimination method under the another kind of hardware design, please refer to Fig. 2 B and Fig. 5.Fig. 2 B is the hand-held device calcspar of another embodiment of the present invention, and the main difference of Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 A is that the touch control induction device 220 with Fig. 2 A changes the touch control induction device 221 that comprises capacitance type sensor (capacitive sensor device) 250 into.Capacitance type sensor is at textural sensing pad (sensorpad) with a plurality of arrayed.Sensing pad only can produce capacity effect and sense the contact of conductor or approaching enough big conductor.Finger is a conductor, can make sensing pad produce induction.If pointer is made of conductor, size is enough big, also can allow sensing pad produce induction.Therefore capacitance type sensor generally is to utilize scan mode to respond to, can be at the same time or have a plurality of sensing pads to produce induction in a short period of time.Because capacitance type sensor itself only can judge whether to contact with the input tool generation, and can't distinguish the classification of input tool, therefore need to cooperate method provided by the present invention, the input signal of sensing by a plurality of contact mat is in a short time judged the kind of input tool.The processor 230 of Fig. 2 B can calculate the size of induction area according to the quantity of the sensing pad that induction takes place when carrying out method provided by the present invention (being described in detail in the following), be finger or pointer and tell input tool.
Fig. 5 is the performed input tool kind discrimination method process flow diagram of the processor 230 of Fig. 2 B.At first in step 510 every one section contact that detects input tool sample time or approaching, whether have sensing pad to produce induction step 520 inspection then.If no, getting back to step 510 continues to detect.If have, enter step 530, when in one section default special time, calculating input tool operation touch control induction device 221, produce the sensing pad number of induction among the capacitance type sensor 250.Check that in step 540 above-mentioned sensing pad number is whether less than the preset value of processor 230 then.If the sensing pad number is less than preset value, processor 230 judges that in step 550 input tool kind is a pointer, and the user interface is converted to corresponding common user interface.Failing processor 230 judges that in step 560 input tool kind is finger, is converted to corresponding common function interface with the user interface.Above-mentioned preset value can be set according to the density of sensing pad unit area.
Fig. 2 C is the hand-held device calcspar of another embodiment of the present invention, and the main difference of Fig. 2 C and Fig. 2 A is that the touch control induction device 220 with Fig. 2 A changes the touch control induction device 222 that comprises temperature sensor 260 into.In the present embodiment, processor 230 is that tool temperature during according to input tool contact or near touch control induction device 222 is judged tool kind.Please consult Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 C simultaneously, when the user utilizes input tool at touch control induction device 222 enterprising line operates, processor 230 will receive corresponding input signal (step 110).At this moment, processor 230 is understood the tool temperature when passing through temperature sensor 260 detection input tools operations, and tool temperature and preset temperature (for example mean value of room temperature and body temperature) are compared.If tool temperature is less than preset temperature, then processor 230 judges that input tool is a pointer, otherwise judges that then input tool is a finger (step 120).Next, processor 230 shows corresponding common user interface or common function interface, (step 130) as previously described in the embodiment according to tool kind on display 210.
Except utilizing area, pressure to judge the tool kind with the different of temperature, in the embodiment of Fig. 2 D, processor 230 also can utilize the image recognition technology to judge tool kind.Please consult Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 D simultaneously, Fig. 2 D is that the main difference of the hand-held device calcspar of another embodiment of the present invention and Fig. 2 A is that touch control induction device 220 with Fig. 2 A changes the touch control induction device 223 that comprises image capture unit 270 into.When the user utilized input tool at touch control induction device 223 enterprising line operates, in step 110, processor 230 received an input signal by touch control induction device 223.Then in step 120,270 acquisitions of processor 230 control image capture units have comprised the image of input tool, and judge its tool kind according to the feature or the size (dimension) of input tool in image.For instance, processor 230 can be obtained the features such as edge contour of input tool by the image recognition technology in image, judge its tool kind according to this.Or be to calculate the size of input tool in image, and the size of itself and reference substance compared judge tool kind.If processor 230 judges that input tool is a pointer, just show common user interface by display 210 in step 130.If processor 230 is judged input tool and is finger, just shows common function interface in step 130 by display 210.
What deserves to be mentioned is that the processor in the hand-held device can be adjusted the size of the option at user interface according to the difference of tool kind when conversion and demonstration user interface.For instance, when processor judged that input tool is pointer, as shown in Figure 6, the option on the user interface 600 was to show with stock size.Yet, after processor judges that input tool is user's finger, the option at user interface can be amplified to entirely the exercisable size of finger, shown in the user interface 700 of Fig. 7, make things convenient for the user user interface to be operated according to this by finger.Above-mentioned option comprises image (icon) or the image projects such as (image) that available input tool is chosen.
Hand-held device of the present invention also can be carried out various preset functions according to input tool kind, shown in the flow process of Fig. 8 A by different way except change different user interfaces according to input tool kind.Fig. 8 A is according to the performed user's interface operation method process flow diagram of the hand-held device of one embodiment of the invention.Flow process is described in detail as follows.At first, the processor of hand-held device is judged the kind (step 820) of the input tool that produces input signal by touch control induction device receiving inputted signal (step 810), carries out preset function (step 830) according to tool kind then.For example, this preset function can be that its correlative detail has been contained in the embodiment of front, repeats no more according to the corresponding user interface (step 840) of tool kind conversion.The preset function of step 830 also can be to open or close specific function (step 850) according to tool kind.Processor also can be carried out other preset functions according to tool kind, is not limited to above example.
The specific function of step 850 can the person's of being to use interface guiding and browsing (browsing) function.Above-mentioned user's interface guiding and browsing function can comprise user interface translation functions (panning), user interface rolling function (scrolling), genetic system (step 860).For example when input tool is pointer, close translation of user interface and rolling function, and input tool is to open user's interface translation and rolling function in when finger, allows the user can be by the displaying contents at moveable finger translation or scrolling user interface.
The detailed process of step 860 is shown in Fig. 8 B.At first judge that in step 861 input tool kind is finger, opens user's interface translation and rolling function.Whether remove in the contact of step 862 inspection finger or near state, that is to say whether finger has left touch control induction device.If do not leave as yet, carry out user interface translation functions in step 863, allow the user interface move with user's finger and translation.On the other hand, if finger has left touch control induction device, just when step 864 inspection finger leaves, whether have mobile.Do not move if having, flow process so far finishes.If have mobilely, then enter step 865, carry out user interface rolling function, allow the user interface with the moving direction of finger scrolling.
On the other hand, the specific function of step 850 can be a multiple selection function (step 870).For example when being pointer, opens input tool multiple selection function, allow the user choose a plurality of data items or functional item on the user interface simultaneously with pointer, and input tool to be finger the time close multiple selection function, allow the user once can only choose unitem.Because the precision of finger is falsely dropped easily not as pointer, so can promote the accurate and efficient of use.
The detailed process of step 870 is shown in Fig. 8 C.At first judge that in step 871 input tool kind is a pointer, open multiple selection function.Check the pointer contact or whether any option of covering is arranged in step 872 then near the zone of touch control induction device.If no, flow process so far finishes.If have, just choose and be touched the Total Options that the zone covers in step 873.
In addition, processor also can open or cut out other specific functions according to the kind of input tool after execution discrimination method provided by the present invention is judged the kind of input tool, be not limited to above example.That is to say that in the middle of the method flow shown in Fig. 8 A, discrimination method provided by the present invention has comprised step 810 and step 820 at least, the then visual practical application request of the step after step 820 is designed.Step 830 among Fig. 8 A is only multiple at the embodiment that uses in order to represent respectively to step 870.
The hand-held device of above embodiment is extensible to be general electronic installation, and every method flow of above embodiment also can be carried out function with hardware such as integrated electronic devices by the method for operating of hand-held device or electronic installation or application program.Aforesaid operations method or application program can be stored in the recording medium that computer-readable is got, and can be carried out by the processor of electronic installation, and its operation is basic identical, repeats no more.
