Embodiment
Fig. 1 shows the function switched system according to the embodiment of the invention.Function switched system according to the embodiment of the invention goes for an electronic installation, as mancarried device, as the handheld apparatus of multimedia player, personal digital assistant, GPS device, intelligent mobile phone or mobile phone etc.
Function switched system 100 comprises a touch sensing device 110, a display unit 120, a storage unit 130 and a processing unit 140 at least.Touch sensing device 110 has and comprises the touch surface of the sensor of one dimension at least, in order to detecting input tool, as finger or felt pen contact in its surface with move.Display unit 120 is in order to the operation-interface that shows corresponding difference in functionality and relevant information etc.In certain embodiments, touch sensing device 110 can be combined into a contact type panel 210 that is arranged on the mancarried device 200 with display unit 120, as shown in Figure 2.Storage unit 130 comprises at least one first function 131 and one second function 132.In certain embodiments, difference in functionality can be provided in the operation of carrying out different mode under the different application.For instance, function can comprise a selection function (Select Function) and a locomotive function (Panning Function).In addition, storage unit 130 can canned data, and offers display unit 120 and show.Processing unit 140 is in order to carry out the application's function switching method, and its details will be in the back explanation.
Fig. 3 shows the function switching method according to the embodiment of the invention.Function switching method according to the embodiment of the invention is applicable to the electronic installation with a touch sensing device.
As step S310, by an input tool, as finger or felt pen contact touch sensing device.Afterwards, as step S320, between function, switch according to the strength decision of input tool contact touch sensing device.
Fig. 4 shows the function switching method according to the embodiment of the invention.Function switching method according to the embodiment of the invention is applicable to the electronic installation with a touch sensing device.
As step S410, detect the contact of input tool, and, detect the strength of input tool contact touch sensing device as step S420 for touch sensing device.Afterwards, as step S430, judge that whether strength is greater than a threshold value.It should be noted that the application can utilize different modes to realize the detection of the strength of corresponding input tool contact touch sensing device.In certain embodiments, can detect the pressure of corresponding strength on touch sensing device, and represent that strength is greater than threshold value during greater than a scheduled pressure value when pressure.In certain embodiments, can detect the contact area of corresponding input tool on touch sensing device, and when contact area surpasses a predetermined area scope, represent that strength is greater than threshold value.In certain embodiments, can detect the total current value that corresponding input tool causes on touch sensing device, and when the total current value surpasses a predetermined current value, represent that strength is greater than threshold value.Mandatory declaration be, the mode of the strength of above-mentioned detection input tool contact touch sensing device is the application's a example only, the application is not limited thereto.If strength greater than threshold value (step S430 denys), as step S440, is not carried out first function, as selection function.Fig. 5 is shown in the operation-interface in the selection function.In selection function, the user can slide on touch sensing device by input tool, with by selected text in the operation-interface 500, as anti-white selected text block 510 among Fig. 5.If strength greater than threshold value (step S430 is), as step S450, shows a cue mark in display unit, and as step S460 and S470, switches to second function, and carry out second function, as locomotive function.Fig. 6 is shown in the operation-interface in the locomotive function.As shown in Figure 6, showing a cue mark 610 on the operation-interface 600, is second function in order to represent present function.In locomotive function, the user can slide on touch sensing device by input tool, so that operation-interface 600 is whole mobile.As step S480, judge whether input tool stops to contact touch sensing device (leaving the surface of touch sensing device).If input tool does not stop to contact touch sensing device (step S480 denys), flow process is got back to step S470.If input tool stops to contact touch sensing device (step S480 is), as step S490, close cue mark, and process ends.In present embodiment, when second function executing, do not continue to detect the strength of input tool contact touch sensing device, when input tool stops to contact this touch sensing device, close cue mark, and foundation this input tool next time contacts a strength of this touch sensing device, row decision this first function of execution or this second function again.
What deserves to be explained is that in certain embodiments, electronic installation can original execution first function, carries out the detection operation of the contact of corresponding input tool again.After switching to second function, when stopping to contact touch sensing device, can directly switch back first function by second function as if input tool by first function.In addition, in certain embodiments, when first function executing, can continue to detect the strength of input tool contact touch sensing device, and judge that whether strength is greater than threshold value.If strength greater than threshold value, then switches to second function by first function in real time.In addition, in certain embodiments, when second function executing, can continue to detect the strength of input tool contact touch sensing device, and judge whether strength continues greater than threshold value.If strength is not more than threshold value, then switch to first function by second function in real time.
Therefore, the application's function switching method and system can carry out the function switching according to the contact strength on the touch sensing device.
Method of the present invention, or specific kenel or its part, can be contained in tangible media with the kenel of program code, get (as embodied on computer readable) medium as floppy disk, CD, hard disk or any other machine readable, wherein, when program code by machine, when loading and carrying out as computing machine, this machine becomes in order to participate in device of the present invention.Method and apparatus of the present invention also can be with the program code kenel by some transfer mediums, transmit as electric wire or cable, optical fiber or any transmission kenel, wherein, when program code by machine, when receiving, loading and carrying out as computing machine, this machine becomes in order to participate in device of the present invention.When the general service processor is done in fact, the program code associative processor provides a class of operation to be similar to the unique apparatus of using particular logic circuit.
