Description

The present invention relates to a method for controlling display and non-display of a monitor keyboard table, thereby improving the convenience of user input and hiding the keyboard table in a timely manner for convenience of user browsing.

Personal computers have already evolved into the portable age, and manufacturers are very eager to develop personal computers that are portable and can be operated anywhere at any time. Power endurance and computational effects must be taken into account, which must depend on power-saving parts developed by semiconductor manufacturers and high-capacity batteries developed by battery manufacturers. However, the mechanism that is not limited by location must depend on the design of the system design manufacturer, and the current notebook computer adopts a two-part foldable system, partly equipped with a computer monitor and partly equipped with a keyboard. Because the two are almost vertical by the folding method and placed on the desk, it can be used very conveniently. However, it is inconvenient to hold it in your hand, and most of the cases that you hold in your hand are mainly touchpad computers. A touchpad personal computer is a monitor designed on the top of the personal computer body, and the user holds the personal computer with one hand and selects a function key on the touch monitor or the contents written on the touch pen with one hand.

Touchpad computers can be operated on the palm, but the main work of many computers is related to character input, and touchpad computers use the writing method using a touch pen as the main input method. This type of method is slower and harder than the original keyboard input. Although there has been great progress in portability, there has been a decline in input convenience, and many people are not expecting the development of touchpad computers. Therefore, the touchpad personal computer is limited and used for special purposes such as doctor's patrolling, warehouse inventory, etc., or when there is relatively little character input.

  The other type is a combination of a two-stage touch sensor touchpad and a keyboard table that is displayed on the monitor. When you touch a character corresponding to the position on the touchpad with your finger, a special one appears in the keyboard table. Display is made, the characters are input when touched, and the touchpad is further designed to have a step feeling when touched, and several two-stage touch sensor touchpads are combined and combined into one A keyboard table corresponding to the monitor can also be formed. This makes it convenient to operate with many fingers at the same time, making the operation feel closer to a typical traditional keyboard, minimizing the area, and even displaying the keyboard layout and finger touch position on the monitor. Even if it is designed at the rear of the main body, it can be operated in the same way.

All of the above methods require the use of a monitor to display a single keyboard table, so the keyboard table occupies a part of the monitor, and especially the touch monitor has a large keyboard surface area for convenient finger touch. , thus blocking the display screen of the majority, automatic display the time how necessary the keyboard table on the monitor, or automatically hide when not needed is our effort target.

  In general, in many personal computer work, for example, browsing the homepage on the Internet, playing games, watching movies, etc. do not require character input, but for work such as e-mail sending reply, MSN or document editing, etc. After all, character input is very necessary. When editing these tasks, it is necessary to make the keyboard table appear on the monitor. However, in the editing process, it is often necessary to look at the result of writing and the structure of the entire document. It is hoped that it will disappear and will not interfere with the monitor. Fortunately, it is normal for ordinary people to input characters after checking the input results carefully after completing the input of a single word or whole sentence.

In view of the known drawbacks, if the user wishes to solve the above problem, the user has entered the ending character of a character such as a space key, a period (period), a punctuation mark (comma), a question mark, a colon, or an input key (Enter). after automatically the temporary hide keyboard table, it is possible to display a keyboard table again when the touch pad or the touch monitor is touched again. This can reduce the inconvenience that the keyboard table blocks the monitor.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a display and non-display control method of a kind of monitor keyboard table, which can be used at the time of character input by automatically displaying the keyboard table on the monitor automatically, when censor input result, those to prevent blocking the document the keyboard table is automatically hidden.
