Abstract

A method for detecting superposition of functional region on touch control board judges out function required to be activated by user according to object touch time and shift amount of object as well as region resided by object finally when superposition region of more than two functional regions on touch control board is touched by user.

Description

The overlapping function area detecting method of Trackpad
Technical field
The present invention is the method for detecting of relevant a kind of Trackpad, particularly about the overlapping method for detecting of a kind of functional area of Trackpad.
Background technology
Trackpad has been widely used on the electronic product, comprises hand-held computer, personal digital assistant, mobile phone or other electronic system.The Trackpad person of being to use slides on panel with finger or conductive material (for example pointer) or contacts, and makes cursor produce the input media that relatively moves (or absolute coordinates moves) and support other extensibility function (as the emulation keypress function).In order to allow the user can support more diversity function, therefore the notion of subregion has been arranged at operating area.
Fig. 1 is known Trackpad 10 with angular region extensibility function (Corner Function), it comprises four angular region extensibility functional area CR1, CR2, CR 3 and CR4, because these functional areas all are placed on corner regions, so be called angular region extensibility function, generally speaking, angular region extensibility functional area CR1, CR2, CR3 and CR4 are all as the usefulness of virtual key, when finger 12 raps, can trigger the function of institute's tapping areas correspondence on angular region extensibility functional area CR1, CR2, CR 3 or CR4.
Fig. 2 is known Trackpad 20 with scrollbar functionality region S CROLL1 and SCROLL2, when user's finger 12 slides on scrollbar functionality region S CROLL1 or SCROLL2, and the scroll bar on the rollable window.
Yet the area of Trackpad is limited, so works as the function of being added and get over for a long time, wherein has some functional areas possibilities necessary overlapping, just needs some method for detecting this moment, to distinguish the function that the user will use.
Fig. 3 is the Trackpad 30 with angular region extensibility function and scrollbar functionality, angular region extensibility functional area CR1 wherein, CR2 and CR3 and scrollbar functionality region S CROLL1 and SCROLL2 are overlapping, in known method, be to adopt the gesture of rapping to trigger angular region extensibility functional area CR1, the function of CR2 and CR3, but Trackpad is set on the casing in generally being, casing has little protuberance, and angular region extensibility functional area CR1, CR2 and CR 3 are positioned at the corner again, as shown in Figure 4, therefore pointing 12 the action of rapping may be indeterminate, the easier generation misoperation of particularly unfamiliar user, moreover, as shown in Figure 5, finger 12 touching Trackpads 30 De Yi Brake that, also may make Trackpad 30 detect a displacement, and then allow Trackpad 30 judge by accident and triggering rolling stripe coiling function because of the angular transformation of finger 12.
Therefore, a kind of area detecting of overlapping function more accurately method is to be the institute Ji.
Summary of the invention
One of purpose of the present invention is to propose a kind of overlapping function area detecting method of Trackpad.
According to the present invention, a kind of overlapping function area detecting method of Trackpad, when the user touches the overlapping region of two above functional areas on the Trackpad, touch the time by object and whether whether judge that greater than a reference value and the last modes such as zone that stop of object the user wants the function that activates greater than the displacement of a reference time, object.
A kind of overlapping function area detecting method of Trackpad, this Trackpad comprises an angular region extensibility functional area and a scrollbar functionality zone, this angular region extensibility functional area and this scrollbar functionality zone have an overlapping region, and this method comprises the following steps: to confirm this overlapping region of object touch; And calculate the touching time that this object is touched this overlapping region; Wherein, if this touching time greater than a reference time, then trigger the function of this angular region extensibility functional area, if this touching time less than this reference time, then trigger the function in this scrollbar functionality zone.
