Also related to technical description In the conventional Windows operating system, users can use a π machine input device to select a display window. Such as mouse and stylus can allow users to control the display area. An existing input device of a graphic indicator includes one or more user-selectable input buttons. When the indicator controlled by the input device 2 is displayed on a display graphic window of an application, the user selects one of the buttons. Select among them An input device button causes a message to be sent to an application that displays the active window that is used to instruct the user. An application enables different input device commands (that is, buttons on the input device) and different control options Associated. For example, in a word processing application, when A cursor is displayed at the -pointing position, and when the right mouse button is selected, the-menu of the word processing job can be displayed. In this way, select _ a different button on the mouse or stylus input device , Will cause different actions to occur in the application. In the system and system of this custom technology, #When an input event occurs, the same operation will be performed regardless of the position of the pointer in the application window. Some custom technologies The input device does not include input buttons that can directly generate different levels of control from the input device. For example, a single-button mouse can only trigger a single-action from the application.

In the preferred embodiment, the window management process, Equation 6 keeps mapping each section (for example, A, B, C, D) to such as a multi-button mouse or a stylus Wait a lot Different control buttons on the input device. For example, if the input device has only one button, the mapping function can map each section to multiple input device buttons. In this case, section A Can be mapped to a right mouse button, section B can be mapped to a left mouse button, section c can be mapped to two times, and the right mouse can be pressed. Twice pressing and pressing the left button of the left mouse button. In this way, when pressing the button on the input device in one section, it will simulate an input device containing multiple selectable buttons1 A specific action performed by 0. A user control panel (not shown in the figure) can be provided to allow the user to specify the number of sections in a window and the input control operations mapped to these sections.

Description of the invention (r〇it display area at The logic implemented in the window management program 6 in order to handle the input information received from the input device. The control starts at step 50. When the user selects the button, the window management is not available. Excellent & In the gate technology, the white-and-white self-input driver 4 receives the x_y coordinate of the position (also known as "hot spot") of the graphic indicator 16. The window management program = (in step 5 2 ) To determine whether or not a _ window is displayed on the area containing the coordinates. If it is not as Λ, then the window manager 6 (at step 54) processes the selection according to the control options in order to select the computer desktop. If there is a window overlaid on a display area containing the x_y coordinate, the window manager 6 (at step 56) determines whether multiple windows are displayed on the p y coordinate. If there are multiple windows, the window manager 6 (in step 58) determines the view W with the highest z-order in a manner known in the art. The M-Z order indicates how to display overlapping windows with respect to each other window, that is, how to display each window on each other window. After determining the window that overlaps the x-y position, and after determining the window with the highest z-order when there are multiple views, the window manager 6 (at step 60) determines whether the window is the active window. If this is not the case, the window manager 6 (in step 62) makes the window the active window. Otherwise ', if the window is an active window, the window manager 6 (at step 6 4) determines each section area in the active window. If the sections contain a quarter of a display area or some other ratio, the window manager applies the section ratio to the entire active window so that it can be maintained based on the section ratio 'and window manager 6 And the current application window 1 4 a, b, c is divided into these sections. Windows Management Program 6 Ran-10 This paper size is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 public love) 476903 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy ) Determines when the button on the input device 10 is pushed and pressed, the segment containing the xy position is located by the graphic indicator 16. The window manager 6 further (at step 68) determines the input of the determined segment mapping. Action. Then (in step 70) send a message to the application 8 a, b, c with the active window. The message contains the X-y position and the determined input action. Application 8 a, b , C responds to the message, and will perform one of the operations corresponding to the input actions indicated in the message. Each application 8 a, b, c may include inputs such as right-click selection, left-button press and release, etc. Actions are mapped to application commands in a unique way. In this way, when the input device 10 may actually contain only one button, or in the case where the touch-type Laute has no buttons, the application 8 a, b , C is regarded as its own Input is received by an input device containing multiple buttons and options. In the embodiment of the touch screen, when the user presses the touch screen in a section of the application window 24, the mapping to the selected one is performed. The operation of this section. If the touch screen is sensitive to the degree of touch, a lighter touch may select an element in the application window 24, and a heavier touch will be performed with the area touched In the embodiment of the touch screen, step 50 will include the following steps: receiving the χ-y coordinates of the position pressed by the user on the touch screen, and step 64 will include the following steps: decide to use The section of the screen that the user presses. The preferred embodiment allows a single input event generated by an input device to be mapped to a difference generated by a different type of input device according to a selected position when the input event occurs.

Description of the Invention (10) In an alternative application-level embodiment, each application can keep mapping sections to input actions. In this implementation For example, the window management program 6 can send a message to the application programs 8 a, b, and c, so as to indicate the X-y coordinate of the indicator, and the button selected on the input device 10, which may have only one operation, or the instruction In the case of a touch screen with no buttons, the xy coordinates of the pointer, and the simulated selection button. The application 8a, b, c will then determine the section containing the x-y position (that is, the hot spot), and The actually selected input event is mapped to another input action, and the other input action may be an input action on one of the input devices having an input mechanism configuration different from the configuration on the actual input device. A window is divided into different points corresponding to different input actions to illustrate the preferred embodiment. In a further embodiment, display objects outside the window can be distinguished in order to select When different sections of the display object are selected, different input actions are generated. Such display objects that can be divided into different corresponding input actions include images, window desktops, HTML web pages, application GUIs, or conventional techniques in this technology. Any other display image, object, or GUI is known. Figure 5 shows a visual display 2 〇 i including a display object 200 such as a menu, an image, etc. The display object is divided into two Part and 202b. When a section 202 & is selected, an action or option display different from the action or option display generated when the section 202b is selected. In this way, any display object can be distinguished, and Different special control functions are provided according to the selected section in the display object. For example, selecting different sections or areas of the displayed menu will trigger different menu jobs. _ -13 The size of this paper is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (21〇x 297 public love) ----------- --------------- --r --- ^ -------- (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) 476903 A7 V.
