Description

  The present invention generally relates to a window page scroll control apparatus and method, and in particular to explicitly switch between page and scroll control modes in order to explicitly perform scroll control for whole page, single line, and scaling. The invention relates to an apparatus that allows a user to control signal transmission over a connection to a computer.

  Popular and powerful applications on computers allow users to read a wide range of data displayed in window pages and perform various briefings under the software platform.

  Traditionally, when a user reads data from a window page, page scrolling is typically connected to a computer via the left mouse button, right button, and central axis roller, or via wired or wireless communication. This is controlled by pressing the upper and lower keys on the keyboard. For briefing, a remote control input device can be used to control the turning of pages or sections of briefing content.

  However, conventional operations do not satisfy changing the page scroll control mode for real-time page display. For example, a device such as a traditional mouse, keyboard, or remote control input device only serves to perform a full page or default scrolling operation, so switching between full page scrolling, single line scrolling, or scaling modes May not be performed by conventional scrolling operations whenever a request is presented. Using a mouse axis roller or remote control generally results in multi-line or multiple scaling scrolling. Therefore, achieving single line scrolling or single line scaling with conventional devices is difficult.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a window / page scroll control apparatus and method capable of easily performing scroll control on a window / page having a plurality of scroll control modes.

  To solve the above problems, signal transmission control with a scroll control unit that allows one-way communication between the user and the computer host to provide a clear switch between multiple scroll control modes. An apparatus is provided. Thus, the user can easily execute the operation of the entire page, a single line, and scaling under the selected scroll control mode, and can perform an accurate and real-time stop scroll operation. In this way, the contents of the page displayed in the window can be more easily controlled, scaled and accessed.

  The method and apparatus provided as above uses a signal transmission controller having a scroll control unit connected to a computer. Communication between the signal transmission control device and the computer includes a wired connection or a wireless connection. When the window is activated, the user can use the scroll control unit to select between scroll control modes of whole page, single line and scaling. Therefore, the user can easily perform scroll control on the window page for reading, briefing, or presentation.

  The above objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent by detailed description of representative embodiments thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the scroll control with respect to the window page provided with a some scroll control mode can be performed easily. Thus, scroll control for accessing window pages can be easily achieved. Thus, the user can easily and quickly perform scroll control for executing scrolling of the entire page, a single line, and scaling.

  FIG. 1 shows a scroll control apparatus for a computer window page. As shown, the scroll control device includes a signal transmission control device 1 for transmitting a control signal to a signal reception unit 21 of a controlled device 2 connected to various types of computers, servers, and display devices. . The signal receiving unit 21 includes, for example, a signal receiver or an access point (AP).

  The signal transmission control device 1 includes a plurality of input devices 11 through which a user can input a control command. For example, the user can input a control command similar to the operation of the mouse device. A scroll control unit 12 with a clear switching function is attached to the signal transmission control device 1 to provide switching between various access modes (scroll control modes) of the window / page of the controlled device 2.

  The scroll control unit 12 includes lift type or push type control keys. By pressing each control key of the scroll control unit 12, the user can switch between various access modes. The user can also press the control key continuously. Each pressing operation switches one access mode to another. That is, every time the user presses one control key, a control command signal corresponding to the control key is generated and sent to the controlled device. Accordingly, when the user desires a predetermined scroll operation such as scrolling the entire page, scrolling a single line, or scaling a page or line, for example, the scroll operation is searched for a desired scroll control mode. Can be done by pressing the key. In the present invention, scrolling refers to a concept including scrolling the entire page, scrolling a single line, and scaling a page or line.

  In one embodiment, the scroll control unit 12 includes a single direction key as shown in FIG. Each time the user presses a key, the mode is moved from one mode to another. Alternatively, a multifunction key as shown in FIG. 3 can be formed to provide this type of switching function. By switching clearly between scroll control modes, quick guidance for reading the displayed window page can be obtained.

  Examples of the signal transmission control apparatus 1 include, for example, a mouse or keyboard having a scroll control unit 12 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or a smart phone. ) And other devices.

  A device for scrolling a window page is also provided by the device as provided. The detailed process of the method is described below.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the window / page scroll control method, the signal transmission control device 1 is used to clearly select one of various scroll control modes. The signal transmission control device includes a scroll control unit that functions to generate a signal for operating a predetermined scroll mode.

  When the scroll control unit 12 of the signal transmission control device 1 is switched to the first scroll control mode, in step 300, the user can execute the scroll operation by operating the scroll control unit 12. For example, the user can select or press a key to scroll up or down a displayed page as desired.

  If a different scroll control mode is required in step 302, in step 304 the user can operate the scroll control unit to switch the first scroll control mode to the second scroll control mode. As described above, when the scroll control unit 12 includes only one mode selection key, the user can continuously press the key until the desired second scroll control mode is selected. When the scroll control unit 12 includes a plurality of keys representing each mode selection key, the user can press a specific key to operate the second scroll control mode. Once the key is pressed, a signal for starting the second scroll control mode is generated and sent to the signal receiving unit 21 of the controlled device 2. In this way, the user can control scrolling of the window page under the second scroll control mode.

  If the user intends to enlarge or reduce the current display window page, a scaling mode (third scroll control mode) is selected by pressing a key representing the scaling control mode in step 306. . Under the mode of scaling, at step 308, the user can selectively scale a particular row, paragraph, or page as desired.

  If the user no longer needs the scaling operation, another scroll control mode is activated by pressing another key in step 310 or pressing the same key again.

  While the invention has been particularly shown and described with respect to preferred embodiments thereof, various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. It is understood that this can be done by a vendor.
