Present embodiment has several different methods can judge the kind of input tool, and different determination methods needs different hardware design, shown in the hand-held device calcspar of Fig. 2 A to 2D, below explanation in regular turn.
The hand-held device of Fig. 2 A comprises display 210, touch control induction device 220 and processor 230.Display 210 is in order to the explicit user interface, and touch control induction device 220 for example is a contact panel (touchpanel), in order to the operation of detecting input tool, and produces input signal according to the operation of input tool.Processor 230 is coupled to display 210 and touch control induction device 220, in order to the tool kind of judgement input tool, and according to the corresponding user interface of tool kind conversion.
The touch control induction device 220 of Fig. 2 A comprises resistance-type sensor (resistive sensor device) 240.Contact position and pressure when the resistance-type sensor can be responded to the input tool operation, so the input signal that touch control induction device 220 provides comprises information such as input tool position contacting and pressure.It should be noted that the resistance-type sensor can only provide the input signal of a contact point at one time, and contact point can be distributed in the contact area of input tool and resistance-type sensor, shown in Fig. 3 A and 3B.Fig. 3 A illustrates the contact point t-1 to t-4 of pointer, because the contact area of pointer is less, contact point is more concentrated.Fig. 3 B illustrates the contact point t-1 to t-4 of finger, because the contact area of finger is bigger, so contact point disperses.Because the resistance-type sensor can only provide the input signal of a contact point at one time, processor 230 must continue the information of write input in one section special time, calculate its mobility scale, judge input tool kind according to the size of this mobility scale then.
Four contact points with Fig. 3 A and 3B are example, suppose that the input signal that contact point t-i produces is that (Pi), wherein i can be 1,2,3,4 for Xi, Yi.Xi is the X coordinate of the contact position of t-i, and Yi is the Y coordinate of the contact position of t-i, and Pi is the contact pressure of t-i.It is as follows that processor 230 can be distinguished the mean value of calculating location and pressure:
X coordinate mean value: Xa=(X1+X2+X3+X4)/4
Y coordinate mean value: Ya=(Y1+Y2+Y3+Y4)/4
Pressure mean values: Pa=(P1+P2+P3+P4)/4
The mobility scale that can distinguish calculating location and pressure then is as follows:
X coordinate mobility scale: Xd=|Xa-X1|+|Xa-X2|+|Xa-X3|+|Xa-X4|
Y coordinate mobility scale: Yd=|Ya-Y1|+|Ya-Y2|+|Ya-Y3|+|Ya-Y4|
Pressure variation scope: Pd=|Pa-P1|+|Pa-P2|+|Pa-P3|+|Pa-P4|
Mobility scale as for how according to position and pressure is judged tool kind, details shown in the flow process of Fig. 4 A to 4C, below explanation in regular turn.
Fig. 4 A is the performed input tool kind discrimination method process flow diagram of the processor 230 of Fig. 2 A, and the flow process of Fig. 4 A is to judge tool kind according to the mobility scale of contact position.At first begin to detect the contact of input tool in step 410, in step 420 every one section X, Y coordinate that writes down contact point default sample time.Then check in step 430 whether sample size is enough, if satisfied the predetermined number of processor 230, flow process enters step 440, continues record otherwise get back to step 420.
Next, calculate mobility scale Xd, the Yd of contact position in step 440, whether check Xd<Vx and Yd<Vy in step 450, wherein Vx and Vy are the preset range of processor 230.If the mobility scale of two coordinates is all less than the corresponding preset scope, processor 230 judges that in step 460 input tool kind is a pointer, and user interface is converted to corresponding co-user interface.Failing processor 230 judges that in step 470 input tool kind is finger, is converted to corresponding common function interface with user interface.
Fig. 4 B is the process flow diagram of the performed another kind of input tool kind discrimination method of processor 230, and the flow process of Fig. 4 B is to judge tool kind according to the mobility scale of contact pressure.Processor 230 every one section contact pressure that writes down input tool sample time, calculates the mobility scale Pd of contact pressure in step 441 in step 421, whether checks Pd<Vp in step 451 then, and wherein Vp is the preset range of processor 230.If Pd<Vp, processor 230 judges that in step 460 input tool kind is a pointer, and user interface is converted to corresponding co-user interface.Failing processor 230 judges that in step 470 input tool kind is finger, is converted to corresponding common function interface with user interface.All the other steps of Fig. 4 B are identical with Fig. 4 A, repeat no more.
Fig. 4 C is the process flow diagram of the performed another kind of input tool kind discrimination method of processor 230, and the flow process of Fig. 4 C is simultaneously according to the mobility scale judgement tool kind of contact position and pressure.Processor 230 in step 422 every one section contact position and pressure that writes down input tool sample time, calculate mobility scale Xd, the Yd of contact position and the mobility scale Pd of contact pressure in step 442, whether check Xd<Vx, Yd<Vy and Pd<Vp in step 452 then.If processor 230 judges that in step 460 input tool kind is a pointer, and user interface is converted to corresponding co-user interface.Failing processor 230 judges that in step 470 input tool kind is finger, is converted to corresponding common function interface with user interface.All the other steps of Fig. 4 C are identical with Fig. 4 A, repeat no more.
Next be the input tool kind discrimination method under the another kind of hardware design, please refer to Fig. 2 B and Fig. 5.Fig. 2 B is the hand-held device calcspar of another embodiment of the present invention, and the main difference of Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 A is that the touch control induction device 220 with Fig. 2 A changes the touch control induction device 221 that comprises capacitance type sensing device (capacitivesensor device) 250 into.The capacitance type sensing device is at textural sensing pad (sensor pad) with a plurality of arrayed.Sensing pad only can produce capacity effect and sense the contact of conductor or approaching enough big conductor.Finger is a conductor, can make sensing pad produce induction.If pointer is made of conductor, size is enough big, also can allow sensing pad produce induction.Therefore the capacitance type sensing device generally is to utilize scan mode to respond to, can be at the same time or have a plurality of sensing pads to produce induction in a short period of time.The processor 230 of Fig. 2 B can calculate the size of induction area according to the quantity of the sensing pad that induction takes place, and is finger or pointer and tell input tool.
Fig. 5 is the performed input tool kind discrimination method process flow diagram of the processor 230 of Fig. 2 B.At first in step 510 every one section contact of detecting input tool sample time or approaching, whether have sensing pad to produce induction step 520 inspection then.Continue detecting if no, get back to step 510.If have, enter step 530, when in one section default special time, calculating input tool operation touch control induction device 221, the sensing pad number of the middle generation induction of capacitance type sensing device 250.Check that in step 540 above-mentioned sensing pad number is whether less than the preset value of processor 230 then.If the sensing pad number is less than preset value, processor 230 judges that in step 550 input tool kind is a pointer, and user interface is converted to corresponding co-user interface.Failing processor 230 judges that in step 560 input tool kind is finger, is converted to corresponding common function interface with user interface.Above-mentioned preset value can be set according to the density of sensing pad unit area.
Fig. 2 C is the hand-held device calcspar of another embodiment of the present invention, and the main difference of Fig. 2 C and Fig. 2 A is that the touch control induction device 220 with Fig. 2 A changes the touch control induction device 222 that comprises temperature-sensitive sticker 260 into.In the present embodiment, processor 230 is that tool temperature during according to input tool contact or near touch control induction device 222 is judged tool kind.Please consult Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 C simultaneously, when the user utilizes input tool at touch control induction device 222 enterprising line operates, processor 230 will receive corresponding input signal (step 110).At this moment, processor 230 is understood the tool temperature when seeing through temperature-sensitive sticker 260 detecting input tools operations, and tool temperature and preset temperature (for example mean value of room temperature and body temperature) are compared.If tool temperature is less than preset temperature, then processor 230 judges that input tool is a pointer, and anti-then judgement input tool is finger (step 120).Next, processor 230 shows corresponding co-user interface or common function interface, (step 130) as previously described in the embodiment according to tool kind on display 210.
Except utilizing area, pressure to judge the tool kind with the different of temperature, in the embodiment of Fig. 2 D, processor 230 also can utilize image recognition technology to judge tool kind.Please consult Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 D simultaneously, Fig. 2 D is that the main difference of the hand-held device calcspar of another embodiment of the present invention and Fig. 2 A is that touch control induction device 220 with Fig. 2 A changes the touch control induction device 223 that comprises image pick-up device 270 into.When the user utilized input tool at touch control induction device 223 enterprising line operates, in step 110, processor 230 saw through touch control induction device 223 receiving inputted signals.Then in step 120, processor 230 control image pick-up devices 270 pick up the image that has comprised input tool, and judge its tool kind according to the feature or the size (dimension) of input tool in image.For instance, processor 230 can see through image recognition technology obtains input tool in image features such as edge contour, judges its tool kind according to this.Or be to calculate the size of input tool in image, and the size of itself and reference substance compared judge tool kind.If processor 230 judges that input tool is a pointer, just show the co-user interface at step 130 transmission display device 210.If processor 230 is judged input tool and is finger, just shows common function interface at step 130 transmission display device 210.
What deserves to be mentioned is that the processor in the hand-held device can be adjusted the size of the option of user interface according to the difference of tool kind when conversion and explicit user interface.For instance, when processor judged that input tool is pointer, as shown in Figure 6, the option on the user interface 600 showed with stock size.Yet, after processor judges that input tool is user's finger, the option of user interface can be amplified to entirely the exercisable size of finger, shown in the user interface 700 of Fig. 7, make things convenient for the user to see through finger according to this user interface is operated.Above-mentioned option comprises icon (icon) or the image projects such as (image) that available input tool is chosen.
Hand-held device of the present invention also can be carried out various preset functions according to input tool kind, shown in the flow process of Fig. 8 by different way except change different user interfaces according to input tool kind.Fig. 8 is according to the performed operation method of user interface process flow diagram of the hand-held device of one embodiment of the invention.Flow process is described in detail as follows.At first, the processor of hand-held device sees through touch control induction device receiving inputted signal (step 810), judges the kind (step 820) of the input tool that produces input signal, carries out preset function (step 830) according to tool kind then.For example, this preset function can be that its correlative detail has been contained in the embodiment of front, repeats no more according to the corresponding user interface (step 840) of tool kind conversion.The preset function of step 830 also can be to open or close specific function (step 850) according to tool kind.Processor also can be carried out other preset functions according to tool kind, is not limited to above example.
The specific function of step 850 can be user interface translation functions (panning), user interface rolling function (scrolling), genetic system (step 860).For example when input tool is pointer, close user interface translation and rolling function, and input tool is to open user interface translation and rolling function in when finger, allows the user can be by the displaying contents of moveable finger translation or scrolling user interface.
The detailed process of step 860 is shown in Fig. 8 B.At first judge that in step 861 input tool kind is finger, opens user interface translation and rolling function.Whether remove in the contact of step 862 inspection finger or near state, that is to say whether finger has left touch control induction device.If do not leave as yet, carry out the user interface translation functions in step 863, allow user interface move and translation with user's finger.On the other hand, if finger has left touch control induction device, just when step 864 inspection finger leaves, whether have mobile.Do not move if having, flow process so far finishes.If have mobilely, then enter step 865, carry out the user interface rolling function, allow user interface with the moving direction of finger scrolling.
On the other hand, the specific function of step 850 can be a multiple selection function (step 870).For example when being pointer, opens input tool multiple selection function, allow the user choose a plurality of data items or functional item on the user interface simultaneously with pointer, and input tool to be finger the time close multiple selection function, allow the user once can only choose unitem.Because the precision of finger is falsely dropped easily not as pointer, so can promote the accurate and efficient of use.
The detailed process of step 870 is shown in Fig. 8 C.At first judge that in step 871 input tool kind is a pointer, open multiple selection function.Check the pointer contact or whether any option of covering is arranged in step 872 then near the zone of touch control induction device.If no, flow process so far finishes.If have, just choose and be touched the Total Options that the zone covers in step 873.
Again on the other hand, the specific function of step 850 can comprise drawing brush function and drawing eraser wiping function (step 880).For example when input tool is pointer, open drawing brush function and close drawing eraser wiping function, the user can be drawn with pointer.On the other hand, when input tool is finger, close drawing brush function and open drawing eraser wiping function, allow the user with pointing as erasing rubber the drawing before erasing.
In addition, processor also can open or cut out other specific functions according to tool kind, is not limited to above example.
The hand-held device of above embodiment is extensible to be general electronic installation, and every method flow of above embodiment also can be carried out function with hardware such as integrated electronic devices by the operating system of hand-held device or electronic installation or application.Above-mentioned operating system or application can be stored in the recording medium of embodied on computer readable, can be carried out by the processor of electronic installation, and its running is basic identical, repeats no more.
