Description
The present invention relates to a method for facilitating touch input in a portable terminal having a large screen.
The use of portable terminals such as smart phones, tablet computers, pad type terminals is increasing, and the display of portable terminals is also increasing as demand for wide screen is increasing. In recent years, products with more than 5 inches of display combined with touch function are the mainstream, and the trend toward larger displays is expected to continue.
However, when viewing a product that is 5 inches or larger than the previous 5 inch display, it was difficult to touch the desired location with one hand. In fact, it is impossible to touch all positions of the display while gripping the portable terminal with a hand based on an adult man.
In many cases, the portable terminal is inevitably used in one hand as a closely used object in a real life. Unexpected accidents can easily occur when the portable terminal having a large display is forcibly used with one hand.
Despite the need for improvement, it is only accelerating the enlargement of the display, and there is a lack of interface development or system development considering user convenience and safety.
The present invention provides a touch control method for a portable terminal that provides an interface that allows a user to precisely and safely touch a desired position with one hand.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a touch control method of a mobile terminal including a display and a touch sensor corresponding to the display detects touch start of a user and touch movement in a predetermined direction through the touch sensor Displacing a screen displayed on the display corresponding to the touch movement of the user, providing a pop-up band along a rim of the displaced screen, fixing the displaced screen, Receiving the intermediate touch of the user, and executing the associated function by matching the coordinates of the intermediate touch point and the displaced screen.
The touch sensor senses the initial touch from the border, inside or outside of the display and can easily displace the displayed screen according to the continuous touch movement after the touch start. For this purpose, the displayed screen can be specified and displaced in the system or the specific application of the portable terminal, and the displaced screen can be temporarily fixed. When the user touches a point where the user is close to the screen displacement in correspondence with the fixed screen, the middle touch coordinates by the touch sensor and the coordinates of the displacement screen in the display are matched to each other to perform a linked function.
The touch control method according to the present invention can be applied to various functions and processes according to the design of the system designer or application maker. For example, you can use it to displace non-touching parts of the browser screen. You can also use it to displace non-finger areas in applications such as maps and banks, or even when entering phone numbers or text. There is a number. In addition, it can be applied to all screens and applications implemented in a mobile terminal without limitation.
The process of displacing the displayed screen can be determined under various conditions. For example, it is preferable to activate the screen displacement process when the touch start is sensed from the boundary of the display, and the displacement reference can be determined according to the point of the touch start or the direction of the touch movement.
More specifically, when the touch start point is adjacent to one corner of the display, depending on the point of starting the touch, the displaced screen may expose a screen displayed around the other corner diagonally from one corner. In addition, when the touch start point is adjacent to the center of one horizontal boundary of the display, the displaced screen may expose the screen displayed around the other horizontal boundary facing from the one horizontal boundary. And, when the touch start point is adjacent to the center of one vertical boundary of the display, the displaced screen can expose a screen that is displayed in the periphery of another vertical boundary facing from one vertical boundary.
Alternatively, depending on the direction of the touch movement, when the direction of the touch movement is inclined, the displaced screen may be exposed from the other corner diagonally facing the screen displayed on the periphery of one corner facing the touch movement direction. In addition, when the direction of the touch movement is horizontal, the displaced screen can be exposed from another vertical boundary facing the screen displayed in the vicinity of one vertical boundary facing the touch movement direction. When the direction of the touch movement is vertical, the displaced screen can be exposed from another horizontal boundary facing the screen displayed around the one horizontal boundary facing the touch movement direction.
In the step of displacing the screen as described above, it is possible to displace the screen in proportion to the touch movement of the user, more specifically, to fix the displaced screen in accordance with the pause when the touch movement continues. The intermediate touch may be defined on the basis of a case where a touch signal is generated at a point different from the pause point of the user. In addition, Can be specified. Of course, it is also possible to provide the displaced screen with a predetermined size, and the middle touch may be defined as a touch signal immediately following the activation of the screen displacement process.
It is possible to perform a linked function such as clicking a desired point, inputting a button or the like by matching the middle touch point with the coordinates of the displaced screen, and thereafter, the displaced screen can be restored. Of course, it is also possible to switch directly to another screen to perform the associated functions prior to restoration.
In the present invention, a pop-up band can be temporarily inserted along the rim of the displaced screen. The pop-up band may include a meaningful message such as a commercial advertisement, a public advertisement, or other notification, and may also be used to clearly distinguish the boundary between the displaced screen and the original screen.
It may also be necessary to define the screen displacement process and to activate the screen displacement process according to the promised condition, prior to the step of displacing the screen displayed on the display. For this purpose, when the touch start is maintained for a predetermined time, for example, 1 second or more, around the boundary of the display, a function for activating the screen displacement process and for displacing the screen, There is a number.
In addition, if a predetermined number of touches are detected at the same point prior to the start of the touch, for example, the screen displacement process can be activated with the signal that the touch is repeated twice or three times at the touch start point.
It is also possible to define activation of the screen displacement process by using a physical button or graphic button of the display screen on the terminal.
The present invention provides an interface that allows a user to precisely and safely touch a desired position with a single hand, thereby preventing a user's inconvenience and possibility of an accident occurring due to a large screen.

2 to 4 are front views for explaining a concrete touch control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Hereinafter, the Internet browsing function implemented in the mobile terminal will be described. However, the present invention can be similarly applied to various functions that can be implemented by touch in a portable terminal such as other settings, application execution, home screen, have.
1 is a front view for explaining a touch control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, the
Here, the linked function may be a hyperlink defined at a predetermined position, or may be a graphic button (for example, backward, forward, bookmark, etc.) provided by a browser or an application.
In FIG. 1, the R-R line may mean a range in which a finger can be touched while holding the terminal 100 with one hand. In order to perform a touch over the R-R line, it is possible to loosen the current gripping state of the hand so that the finger is farther away, or both hands can be used to hold one hand and touch with the other hand.
2 to 4 are front views for explaining a concrete touch control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 2, it can be assumed that the user holds the portable terminal with his left hand and can not touch the cart icon far away while maintaining a stable grip.
At this time, the user can start touching the lower left corner with a thumb for 2 seconds or for a predetermined time. At this time, the screen conversion process can be activated in response to the touch of the edge for 2 seconds or more. The system or application of the portable terminal can wait for the touch movement after the start of the touch.
Thereafter, the user can make a touch movement toward the center portion or the diagonal corner of the screen while maintaining the finger contact for starting the touch. Corresponding to the user's touch movement, part of the screen in the vicinity of the diagonal corner and the upper right corner may start to be exposed from the lower left corner. At this time, in order to distinguish the original screen from the converted screen, the advertisement pop-up band may be displaced and provided along the frame of the exposed screen. The advertisement pop-up band may be formed on all the boundaries of the displaced screen, but it may be formed only in a part as shown in the drawing, and a neon frame or a shadow frame may be displayed to display the remaining boundaries of the displaced and exposed screen.
The user can confirm that the target shopping cart icon is in a state of being able to reach with the thumb while the screen around the upper right corner starts to be exposed and the user can stop the finger movement and temporarily release the touch state. Here, the converted screen can be temporarily fixed without being restored, and waits for an intermediate touch for a predetermined long time. The user can press the desired shopping cart icon within a predetermined time to execute the intermediate touch. Of course, it is possible to provide a screen immediately converted to a predetermined size without adjusting the displacement amount according to the movement of the thumb, and to wait for the intermediate touch signal with displacement.
Accordingly, the system or the application system of the portable terminal can match the coordinates of the converted screen and the coordinates of the middle touch point by the touch sensor, and the coordinates in the converted screen and the coordinates of the screen before the original conversion are matched with each other Can be performed. For this purpose, it is possible to refer to the coordinates of the screen before the original change and the transformed boundary coordinates, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the coordinates before transform are matched with those after transform, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
If the coordinates of the converted screen specified by the middle touch are matched with the position of the shopping cart icon on the original screen, the portable terminal can perform the desired function. The shopping cart may be directly switched to the shopping cart screen according to the function of the shopping cart icon. In some cases, the current shopping cart may be stored and restored to the original screen.
In the present embodiment, the process of activating the screen conversion process based on the touch start time of the touch has been described. However, according to another embodiment, the number of touches including the start of the touch, the gesture before the start of the touch, The process of activating the conversion process can be variously selected.

At this time, the screen conversion process may be activated in response to the touch start condition.
Thereafter, the user can make a touch movement from the lower horizontal boundary toward the middle or upper horizontal boundary while maintaining the finger contact for starting the touch. In response to the user's touch movement, a portion of the screen around the upper or upper horizontal boundary may begin to be exposed from below. At this time, in order to distinguish the original screen from the converted screen, the advertisement pop-up band may be displaced and provided along the upper edge of the exposed screen.
In the present invention, the advertisement pop-up band can post an advertisement provided by a service provider. The types of pop-up bands may be provided collectively or randomly selected advertisements irrespective of the user, but may be provided differently for the user depending on the type of application currently used, the type of page being surfed, It is possible. In addition to commercial advertising, pop-up bands can include public advertising, announcements, current time, message notifications, mail notifications, and event notifications.
As the upper screen starts to be exposed from the lower border, the user can confirm that the target banner is in a state of being able to reach with the thumb, and can stop the finger movement and temporarily release the touch state. Here, the converted screen can be temporarily fixed without being restored, and waits for an intermediate touch for a predetermined long time. The user can press the desired banner within a predetermined time to execute the intermediate touch.
In this embodiment, although the amount of exposure of the converted screen is changed in proportion to the movement of the user's touch, in some cases, the screen may be exposed to a predetermined distance such as 50%, 30% It is possible.
In either case, the system or application system of the portable terminal can match the coordinates of the converted screen and the coordinates of the middle touch point by the touch sensor, and the coordinates in the converted screen and the coordinates of the screen before the original conversion are matched Function can be performed.
If the coordinates of the converted screen specified by the middle touch match the position of the banner in the original screen, the portable terminal can perform the function linked to the banner.
Although the process of exposing the upper screen corresponding to the start of the touch start point at the lower boundary has been described, the touch start point may be the upper boundary, or the screen may be moved left and right according to the touch movement direction.
Also, when the screen conversion process is activated, it is possible to start from the inside of the display without having to start the touch start at the center of the display boundary.
Referring to FIG. 4, the following description will be made on the assumption that the user holds the portable terminal with his right hand and wants to move to the homepage by clicking on the homepage link on the upper left.
At this time, the user can hold the touch for 2 seconds or the predetermined time with the start of the touch with the center of the right vertical boundary with the thumb, or start the touch after touching the same point two or three times in succession. At this time, the screen conversion process may be activated in response to the touch start condition.
Thereafter, the user can make a touch movement from the right vertical boundary toward the center portion or the left vertical boundary while maintaining the finger contact for starting the touch. In response to the user's touch movement, a portion of the screen around the left vertical boundary may begin to be exposed from the right border. At this time, in order to distinguish the original screen from the converted screen, the advertisement pop-up band may be displaced and provided along the vertical frame of the exposed screen. Here, the converted screen may be displayed brightly and the original screen may be set to be dark or limited to the touch function.
As the left screen starts to be exposed from the right border, the user can confirm that the target homepage link is in a state of being able to reach with the thumb, and can stop the finger movement and temporarily release the touch state. Here, the converted screen can be temporarily fixed without being restored, and waits for an intermediate touch for a predetermined long time. The user can execute the intermediate touch by pressing the desired homepage link within a predetermined time.
In this embodiment, the exposed amount of the converted screen is changed in proportion to the touch movement of the user, but may be directly exposed by a predetermined width, for example, 50% of the screen width.
In either case, the system or application system of the portable terminal can match the coordinates of the converted screen and the coordinates of the middle touch point by the touch sensor, and the coordinates of the converted screen and the coordinates of the screen before the original conversion are matched Can be performed.
Although the process of exposing the left screen according to the start of the touch start point on the right boundary has been described, the touch start point may be the left boundary, or the screen may be moved up and down according to the touch movement direction.
Also, when the screen conversion process is activated, it is possible to start from the inside of the display without having to start the touch start at the center of the display boundary.
3 and 4, a range in which the finger and the moving screen are exposed in proportion to the finger displacement increases. On the other hand, the untransformed area is shown as keeping the original screen intact. However, in some cases, depending on the exposure displacement of the changed screen, the remaining portions may also be moved in succession
