Detailed Description
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a mobile electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the invention. The mobile electronic device 100 may be a smart phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, or other electronic devices suitable for single-hand use. The mobile electronic device 100 includes a processor 110, a motion sensor 120, a touch display 130, and a microphone 140. The motion sensor 120 may include at least one of an accelerometer (accelerometer), a gyroscope (gyro), and an electronic compass (electronic compass).
The mobile electronic device 100 can operate in a sleep mode or an operating mode. The mobile electronic device 100 enters an operating mode when it is powered on. Then, if there is a period of no user operation, the mobile electronic device 100 automatically enters the sleep mode. The user may also directly command, for example: pressing the power key allows the mobile electronic device 100 to enter a sleep mode. In the sleep mode, the user may perform a preset operation on the touch display 130, or input a voice through the microphone 140, or press the power key again to wake up the mobile electronic device 100, so that the mobile electronic device 100 returns to the working mode. Touch display 130 displays a user interface in the active mode and does not display the user interface in the sleep mode. The processor 110 may determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is currently in the sleep mode or the working mode, and control the touch display 130 not to display the user interface or to display the user interface according to the current mode.
FIG. 2 is a flow diagram of a user interface display method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. This method may be performed by the mobile electronic device 100 when entering the operational mode for the first time, or when entering the operational mode from the sleep mode, or already at the operational mode.
The flow of FIG. 2 is described below. The motion sensor 120 detects the motion of the mobile electronic device 100 (step 210), and generates a detection value corresponding to the motion accordingly. The processor 110 may determine whether the mobile electronic device 100 is held by a hand according to the detection value of the motion sensor 120 (step 220). The motion sensor 120 may detect a flick or tremor of the user's hand. If the motion sensor 120 detects the flicking or the wobbling, the processor 110 may determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is held by the hand, otherwise, the processor 110 may determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is not held by the hand. When the mobile electronic device 100 is held in the hand, the processor 110 makes a one-handed determination (step 230). When the mobile electronic device 100 is not handheld, the touch display displays a predetermined user interface (step 260). The above-described determination result that the user is not held by hand also includes a situation in which it is not possible to determine whether the user is held by the left hand or the right hand.
The one-handed determination of step 230 refers to the processor 110 determining whether the mobile electronic device 110 is being held by the left hand, the right hand, or not being held by the hand. When the processor 110 determines that the mobile electronic device 100 is left-handed, the touch display 130 displays a left-handed user interface (step 240). When the processor 110 determines that the mobile electronic device 100 is being held by the right hand, the touch display 130 displays a right-hand user interface (step 250). When the processor 110 determines that the mobile electronic device 100 is not being held, the touch display 130 displays a predetermined user interface (step 260).
The common feature of the left-handed user interface of step 240, such as the user interfaces shown in fig. 9A, 10B, 12, and 13A, is that various commonly used virtual keys or icons (icons) of applications on the user interface are displayed along the left edge of the touch display 130. The right-hand user interface of step 250, such as the user interfaces shown in fig. 9B, 11A, 11B, and 13B, has a common feature that various common virtual keys or icons (icons) of applications on the user interface are displayed along the right edge of the touch display 130.
As for the default user interface of step 260, it is a balanced user interface, with no bias to the left or right. For example, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a default user interface according to an embodiment of the invention. The default user interface displayed on the touch display 130 of fig. 3 includes a plurality of representative icons of the application programs, such as the representative icons 310, which are evenly and dispersedly displayed between the left edge and the right edge of the touch display 130 in a matrix manner. The user can click on any one of the representative icons to execute the corresponding application.
In another embodiment, the user can set the default user interface of step 260 to directly adopt the left-hand user interface of step 240 or the right-hand user interface of step 250 according to the single-hand usage habit.
In the one-handed determination of step 230, the processor 110 may use one or more determination methods. For example, fig. 4A and 4B are schematic diagrams of a determination method for single-hand holding according to an embodiment of the invention. The mobile electronic device 100 in fig. 4A and 4B is a schematic view of the bottom of the side of the mobile electronic device 100. In this embodiment, the processor 110 can determine the orientation of the gravity direction 420 relative to the normal (normal line) direction 410 of the mobile electronic device 100 according to the detection value generated by the motion sensor 120, and determine whether the mobile electronic device 100 is held by the left hand or the right hand according to the detection value. When the detection value falls within a first detection value range, indicating that the normal direction 410 is to the left of the gravity direction 420, as shown in fig. 4A, the processor 110 may determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is held by the left hand, and the touch display 130 displays a left-hand user interface. When the detection value falls within a second detection value range, indicating that the normal direction 410 is to the right of the gravity direction 420, as shown in fig. 4B, the processor 110 may determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is held by the right hand, and the touch display 130 displays a right-hand user interface. When the detection value is not within the first and second detection value ranges, indicating that the normal direction 410 is not left or right, the processor 110 may determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is not handheld and the touch display 130 displays a predetermined user interface. In this embodiment, the normal direction 410 refers to a direction perpendicular to the display surface of the touch display 130 and toward the back surface of the mobile electronic device 100. In addition, the first and second detection value ranges can be determined by detecting values generated by the test record motion sensor 120 when the user operates the mobile electronic device 100 with the left hand and the right hand, and are pre-stored in the mobile electronic device 100. Furthermore, each of the detection value ranges mentioned above refers to a range between two detection values. In this embodiment, the two detection values may be different values or the same value.
Fig. 5A and 5B are schematic diagrams of a determination method for single-hand holding according to another embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the user can wake up the sleeping mobile electronic device 100 by a predetermined operation, such as sliding a finger over the touch display 130. The touch display 130 can detect the predetermined operation. The processor 110 may cause the mobile electronic device 100 to enter the operating mode from the sleep mode in response to the preset operation. In the case of single-hand use, the user usually uses the thumb to slide, so the processor 110 can analyze and determine the track of the preset operation. When the processor 110 determines that the trace is a counterclockwise motion (anti-clockwise switch), for example, as shown by the trace 510 in fig. 5A, the processor 110 may determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is left-handed. When the processor 110 determines that the trace is clockwise (clock wise) as shown by the trace 520 in fig. 5B, the processor 110 may determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is held by the right hand. When the processor 110 determines that the track does not move counterclockwise or clockwise, for example, the index finger of the other hand slides linearly on the touch display 130, the processor 110 may determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is not being held by a single hand.
The preset operation track can be used for limiting the display area of the user interface so as to limit the user interface within the range which can be reached by the fingers of the user, and the user can conveniently operate the operation device. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the track 610 of the predetermined operation has an uppermost end denoted as 620 and a lowermost end denoted as 630. The processor 110 may record and store the uppermost position 620 of the track 610 as an upper limit of the display area of the user interface. Alternatively, the processor 110 may record and store the lowermost position 630 of the track 610 as a lower limit of the display area of the user interface. Alternatively, the processor 110 may record and store the uppermost position 620 and the lowermost position 630 of the track 610 as an upper limit and a lower limit, respectively, of the display area of the user interface.
When the user operates the mobile electronic device 100 through the touch display 130, the touch display 130 is inevitably touched. Therefore, the processor 110 can count a plurality of touch positions within a predetermined time period and perform the one-hand determination of step 230 according to whether the touch positions are concentrated on the left side or the right side of the touch display 130.
For example, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a determination method for single-hand holding according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the touch display 130 is divided into a left half display area 720 and a right half display area 730 according to the middle line 710. The touch display 130 can detect a plurality of touch positions within a predetermined period of time, and the processor 110 can determine whether each touch position is located in the left half 720 display area or the right half 730 display area of the touch display 130. When the number of touch positions on the left half display area 720 is greater than a first threshold value, the processor 110 may determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is left-handed. When the number of touch positions on the right half display area 730 is greater than a second threshold value, the processor 110 can determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is held by the right hand. If the number of touch positions on the left half 720 and the right half 730 is less than the threshold, the processor 110 can determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is not being held by a hand. It should be understood that the first and second threshold values may be the same or different
Fig. 8A and 8B are schematic diagrams of a determination method for single-hand holding according to another embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the user can actively announce whether it is currently left-handed or right-handed with a preset operation. For example, the preset operation may be sliding a finger from the edge of the touch display 130 to the middle. The touch display 130 can detect the predetermined operation. When the default operation occurs at the left edge of the touch display 130, such as the default operation 810 in fig. 8A, the processor 110 may determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is left-handed. When the default operation occurs at the right edge of the touch display 130, such as the default operation 820 shown in fig. 8B, the processor 110 may determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is held by the right hand. If the touch display 130 does not detect the predetermined operation, the processor 110 may determine that the mobile electronic device 100 is not being held by a single hand.
The above embodiments provide a plurality of different determination methods for single-handed use, and the processor 110 may use one or more of the determination methods to perform the single-handed determination of step 230. The power can be saved by using less judgment methods, and the judgment accuracy can be improved by using more judgment methods. If only one method is used, the determination of the method is the determination of step 230. If a plurality of methods are used, the determination result of step 230 may be determined according to the determination results of these methods.
In one embodiment, the processor 110 employs multiple decision methods to make the one-handed decision of step 230. If the mobile electronic device 100 is left handed as a result of the determination of each method, the mobile electronic device 100 is left handed as a result of the determination of step 230. If the mobile electronic device 100 is held in the right hand as a result of the determination of each method, the mobile electronic device 100 is held in the right hand as a result of the determination of step 230. Otherwise, the determination of step 230 is that the mobile electronic device 100 is not being held by a hand.
In another embodiment, the processor 110 employs multiple determination methods to perform the one-handed determination of step 230, and these determination methods have a predetermined priority. The processor 110 first performs the most preferred decision method. If the result of the most preferred method of determination is that the mobile electronic device 100 is being held by the left hand or held by the right hand, the processor 100 takes the result of the most preferred method of determination as the result of the determination of step 230. If the result of the most preferred determination method is that the mobile electronic device 100 is not being held by a single hand, the processor performs a second preferred determination method. If the result of the second preferred determination method is that the mobile electronic device 100 is being held by the left hand or held by the right hand, the processor 100 takes the result of the second preferred determination method as the determination result of step 230. If the result of the second preferred determination method is that the mobile electronic device 100 is not being held by a single hand, the processor performs a third preferred determination method. And so on. If the processor 110 executes the last judging method, the result of the last judging method is used as the judging result of step 230.
In one embodiment, the mobile electronic device 100 may perform the user interface display method of fig. 2 when entering the operating mode for the first time or entering the operating mode from the sleep mode. Before the mobile electronic device 100 leaves the operating mode, the ui display method of fig. 2 is not executed, so the touch display 130 is not switched between the left-hand ui, the right-hand ui, and the default ui. That is, the type of the user interface is already determined when the mobile electronic device 100 enters the operating mode, and the user interface may be switched again until the mobile electronic device 100 enters the operating mode next time.
In another embodiment, the motion sensor 120 may periodically perform step 210 and the processor 110 may periodically perform steps 220 and 230 to determine whether the mobile electronic device 100 is being held by the left hand, held by the right hand, or not held by the single hand when the mobile electronic device 100 is already in the operational mode. The processor 110 may compare the result of the above-described judgment of this time with the result of the above-described judgment of the previous time. When the result of the previous determination is different from the result of the previous determination, the touch display 130 may perform steps 240, 250, or 260 according to the result of the previous determination to switch to the correct user interface. That is to say, the user interface of the embodiment can be switched at any time, and does not need to wait for switching to enter the working mode next time.
The user interface displayed on the lower edge of the touch display 130 may include an operation column, and the operation column may include a plurality of operational icons for activating various functions of the mobile electronic device 100. The processor 110 may rank the icons according to a degree of popularity or a degree of importance. When the mobile electronic device 100 is held by the left hand, the degree of popularity or importance of the icons increases from right to left for the left-handed operation of the user. When the mobile electronic device 100 is held in the right hand, the degree of popularity or importance of the icons increases from left to right for the right-handed operation of the user. For example, FIGS. 9A and 9B are schematic diagrams of an operations column 930 of a user interface in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The operation column 930 includes three operable icons 931 to 933. Fig. 9A shows the operation sequence 930 when the mobile electronic device 100 is held by the left hand, and fig. 9B shows the operation sequence 930 when the mobile electronic device 100 is held by the right hand. In fig. 9A and 9B, the icons 931 to 933 are arranged in the reverse order. In this embodiment, an icon 931 represents a [ go back to previous page ] function, an icon 932 represents a [ go back to home page ] function, and an icon 933 represents a [ display of an executing application ] function.
Fig. 10A and 10B are schematic diagrams of a program column 1030 in a left-hand user interface according to an embodiment of the invention. The small box 1010 in the user interface of FIG. 10A is an indication pattern to indicate that the user can bring up the program column 1030 from the location where the pattern is displayed with a preset operation. The preset operation 1020 of the present embodiment is to slide the finger on the touch display 130 from the position of the indication pattern to the middle. When the mobile electronic device 100 is held by the left hand, the indication pattern is displayed on the left edge of the touch display 130. When the mobile electronic device 100 is held by the right hand for use, the indication pattern is displayed at the right edge of the touch display 130.
When the touch display 130 detects the predetermined operation 1020 at the position of the indication pattern, the touch display 130 takes out and displays a pass sequence 1030 at the left edge of the touch display 130. The program column 1030 includes a representative icon for a plurality of applications, such as representative icon 1050, which is displayed along a left edge of the touch display 130. When any of the representative icons displayed in the program column 1030 is clicked, the processor 110 executes the application program corresponding to the representative icon. In this embodiment, the user can also slide the program column 1030 up and down (as indicated by the up and down arrows) with a drag action to quickly find the application.
11A and 11B are schematic diagrams of a program column 1130 in a right-hand user interface, in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. The small block 1110 in the user interface of FIG. 11A is an indication pattern that indicates that the user can bring up the program column 1130 from the location where the pattern is displayed with a predetermined operation. When the touch display 130 detects the predetermined operation 1120 at the position of the indication pattern, the touch display 130 brings out and displays the program column 1130 at the right edge of the touch display 130. The program column 1130 may include representative icons for a plurality of applications, which are displayed along the right edge of the touch display 130. Program column 1130 also includes the search icons described above. The right-hand user interface of fig. 11A and 11B and the left-hand user interface of fig. 10A and 10B differ in left-right opposition, with the remaining details being the same.
There are various embodiments of the above-described icon search function. For example, fig. 12 is a diagram illustrating a search function of a user interface according to an embodiment of the invention. When the touch display 130 detects a predetermined operation for the search icon 1240, the touch display 130 displays the virtual keyboard 1210 in the user interface. The preset operation may be clicking the search icon 1240. The user can input search conditions using the virtual keyboard 1210, and the processor 110 can search one or more applications in the mobile electronic device 100 according to the search conditions input by the virtual keyboard 1210. For example, the search condition may be at least one english letter, and the application program corresponding to the search condition is an application program whose name starts with the same letter.
The representative icons of the applications that meet the search criteria are displayed in the process column 1230 for the user to select and execute the applications corresponding to the representative icons. The processor 110 can determine the display order of the representative icon of the application in the program column 1230 according to the correlation degree between the application and the search condition. For example, the correlation degree may decrease as the distance between the representative icon and the search icon 1240 increases. In other words, the representative icon of program listing 1230 is shown extending up and down from search icon 1240 depending on the degree of correlation with the search criteria. The application closest to the search icon 1240 is the application with the highest degree of correlation with the search criteria, and the application farthest from the search icon 1240 is the application with the lowest degree of correlation with the search criteria.
FIG. 13A is a diagram illustrating a search function of a left-hand UI according to an embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, when the touch display 130 detects a preset operation of the user, the touch display 130 displays an in-line character string 1360 in the user interface. Word line 1360 is next to process line 1330. The preset operation may be that the duration of the touch of the search icon 1340 is longer than a preset time T1. The preset operation may also be sliding the finger on the touch display 130 near a side of the program column 1330 toward the middle when the program column 1330 has appeared, as shown in the preset operation 1020 of fig. 10A. As mentioned above, the side edge is the left side edge when the mobile electronic device 100 is held by the left hand. When the mobile electronic device 100 is held by the right hand, the side edge is a right edge.
FIG. 13B is a diagram illustrating a search function of a right-hand user interface according to another embodiment of the invention. The right-hand user interface of this embodiment includes a program column 1335 and a character column 1365. Program column 1335 includes search icons 1345. The right-hand user interface of fig. 13B differs from the left-hand user interface of fig. 13A in that the left and right are reversed, and the remaining details are the same.
The trace 610 of the default operation of FIG. 6 can also be used to define the program sequence and the display area of the character string in the above embodiments. The processor 110 can record the uppermost position 620 of the track 610 as the upper limit of the display area of the program sequence and the character string. Alternatively, the processor 110 may record the lowest position 630 of the track 610 as the lower limit of the display area of the program sequence and the character string. Alternatively, the processor 110 may record the uppermost position 620 and the lowermost position 630 of the track 610 as the upper limit and the lower limit of the display area of the program sequence and the character string, respectively.
The search icon in the above embodiments can also be used to trigger the voice search function.
