Embodiment
Key feature of the present invention is by secondary (replenishing) user interface being used as the annex of the main user interface of equipment, in mobile device, provide the response time faster to user's navigation operation, wherein, the secondary user interface technology that has than the used technology faster response of main user interface by use realizes the response time faster.
In one embodiment, main user interface is based on electrophoretic techniques, and secondary user interface is based on LCD technology faster.
As everyone knows, for user interactions/navigation operation, present the slow-response time usually based on the display of electronic ink substrate (for example electrophoretic techniques).The defective that the user experiences the slow-response time is: the user need spend extra time slave unit visit information specific.When the user rolled in long list or navigates, it is extremely remarkable that this problem becomes.For example, a given exemplary tabulation that comprises ten items supposes that the user wishes to select last from tabulation.Be based at display under the situation of electronic ink substrate (for example electrophoretic techniques), once roll and move a step, then the response time of electronic ink display will be about 5.4 seconds (9 * 0.6 second step/step).Compare, LCD display can be carried out identical operations by enough about 20-50 milliseconds (fast 100 times).
In order to overcome the slow-response matter of time that is associated with user interface based on electrophoretic techniques, the invention provides secondary (replenishing) user interface based on the technology except that electrophoretic techniques, with as only based on the annex of the slower main user interface of electrophoretic techniques, thereby strengthen or quicken the needed user interactions of visit information/navigation time.
Below with reference to Fig. 1-4 a plurality of embodiment of the present invention is described.Yet, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that this paper only is used for illustration purpose at the given detailed description of these accompanying drawings, this is because the present invention also can expand to outside these limited embodiment.
Fig. 1-the 5th, the view of the user interface of being realized according to an exemplary embodiment of the present, wherein, same element is shared same reference number.
First embodiment
In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, but reliable display device 30 has been shown in expanded configuration, wherein, but the observation part 39 based on electrophoresis of the reliable display device 30 of rolling out, so that information is shown to the user.As used herein, " expansion " and " expanded configuration " is defined as following configuration, wherein: as shown in the figure, but first housing (housing) 32 of reliable display device 30 is separated with second housing 34, and but the observation part 39 based on electrophoresis of reliable display device 30 expanded, wherein the user can see and observe part 39.But this paper will observe the main user interface that part 39 is defined as reliable display device 30.
But first housing 32 of reliable display device 30 is basic housings, but it is included as the electronic circuit that reliable display device 30 is carried out calculating operation.First housing 32 also comprises front surface, LCD display 42 and roller/selector 44, but they comprise secondary (replenishing) user interface 40 of reliable display device 30 jointly.Roller/selector 44 allows users to move (+,-) via rotation to carry out alternately with LCD display 42.Along with roller/selector 44 rolls in (+,-) direction, a plurality of item identifiers 52 sequentially are presented on the LCD display 42.For example, scroll wheel/selector 44 can cause LCD display 42 display items identifier { 01,02,03, or the like } sequentially on (+) direction.First housing 32 also comprises back knob 46 on its front surface.Back knob 46 has the function of recovering preceding one deck of selected menu when having operated roller/selector 44 mistakenly.
By exemplary and nonrestrictive mode, but on the observation part 39 based on electrophoresis (being main interface 39) of the reliable display device 30 of Fig. 1, sorted lists 50 that comprises a plurality of menu items 54 and the menu item descriptor 52 that is associated thereof have been shown.In the exemplary ordered list 50 of Fig. 1, the various menu item 54 shows the catalogue of being made up of 12 clauses and subclauses (OK).
The tabulation that can come scroll through menus item 54 with two kinds of methods.According to a kind of method, use main user interface 39 to come scroll through menus item 54 linearly separately.Yet there is defective in this method.Particularly, it is a kind of method of not expecting, this is because this method expends time in as a kind of navigation/system of selection meeting and thereby puzzlement user.This mainly is because the following fact, that is, as described in the background art, 39 of main user interfaces based on electrophoretic techniques relatively slow.Repeat as followsly briefly, for typical electrophoretic display, only using each menu items 54 of 39 pairs of sorted lists 50 of main user interface to carry out linearity needed time of rolling is about every row 0.6 second.Therefore, in this example, in tabulation, select the 12nd (last) item can expend approximately (0.6 * 12=7.2) second.
Be used for carrying out navigation/selection to visit the wherein second method of canned data in order to overcome this defective, to the invention provides at mobile device 30.Particularly, the mobile device 30 of Fig. 2 comprises secondary (replenishing) user interface 40, and it is as the annex of main user interface 39.In the present embodiment, secondary user interface 40 comprises roller/selector 44, LCD display 42 and back knob 46.Compare with the situation of only using main user interface 39, secondary user interface 40 helps quick identification and choice menus item 54 from sorted lists 50.As mentioned above, display menu item identifier 54 in the LCD display 42 of secondary user interface 40, and utilize roller/selector 44 to come choice menus item 54.Under the long especially situation of list of menu, secondary user interface 40 provides more significant benefits.
By secondary user interface 40 is provided, mobile device 30 can provide interaction/navigation capability faster to the user, with canned data in the visit mobile device 30.Thus, overcome the stand-by period problem of making us perplexing that is associated with the situation of only using main interface 39.
