Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of keyboard and mode of operation thereof of portable terminal.
Background technology
When mobile phone has just begun to use, display screen is less, keyboard still can occupy the main position of panel, be accompanied by the fast development of technology, cell-phone function is increasing, and it has been transformed into a kind of portable terminal, and it is many that therefore button becomes, it is big that therefore display screen also becomes rapidly, occupied the main positions of panel, and keyboard is compressed extremely downwards, thereby highlighted many drawbacks, comprise: a, the thumb utmost point is curved down artificially during operation, b, one hand holds on the lower side stable inadequately, takes action or not easy to operate when rocking c, single button area dwindles, finger is sought key position difficulty, can only bare-handedly operate.Collapsible, the sliding cover type keyboard is bigger, but because shell has increased by two interfaces and link, volume also increases rapidly, the display screen proportional increase of but failing.It is rapidly convenient that handwritten, full key board disc type is imported, but palpus two manual manipulations, use is inconvenient when walking.Touch-screen type position of its dummy keyboard and existing keyboard when one-handed performance is suitable, can't avoid a, b, the described drawback of c equally.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome above-mentioned deficiency a kind of keyboard is provided, this keyboard quantity relatively seldom, area occupied also dwindles thereupon, can be according to human engineering principle flexible topology, both effectively avoided a, b, the described drawback of c, and can allow display screen take whole front panel as far as possible again.
The technical solution used in the present invention is in order to achieve the above object: comprise major key, major key mode key, return button, calling button and on-hook button.Wherein the key button of major key both can be stirred to some directions around it, can push again simultaneously, and the corresponding contact of each action triggers, its each action does not all have the character mark.The major key mode key has various modes such as cursor mode, type mode, command mode, the character that each contact of major key produces under each pattern/instruction is different, and concrete character/instruction is definite and be presented on the display screen of portable terminal with the form of dummy keyboard by presetting software; The major key mode key is controlled the demonstration of dummy keyboard equally and is hidden.
Advantage of the present invention is:
Because the present invention has adopted the stirring of a plurality of contacts/major key of push type, make an one key just can replace existing a plurality of buttons and the area occupied thereof that comprises numerical key and navigation key, the various modes of major key mode key both can make the instruction number of major key generation double simultaneously, the dummy keyboard of may command major key show or hide as required on display screen again, such benefit has: the keyboard of a. mobile phone dwindles at double, keyboard layout is more flexible, b. display screen can do more, and more made full use of, c. the user can singlehanded more stably hold and operate simultaneously all functions, and each finger gesture is more natural, the key button location is more accurate, quicker, easily realize touch system.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing embodiments of the invention are described in further detail.
Be example with the major key mode key 2 of 3 kinds of patterns is arranged here with the major key 1 that 8 directions are arranged, because the key of 8 directions has now had ripe the application on the simulated flight joystick, its contact is more, and 8 directions can be held goodly by people's thumb and distinguish very much, the advantage of this keyboard of words that the contact is few is not obvious, many words directions are not easily distinguishable, and the misoperation meeting increases; 3 kinds of patterns of major key mode key 2 are respectively type mode, command mode and cursor mode.
As shown in Figure 1, the present invention includes major key 1, major key mode key 2, return button 3, calling button 4 and on-hook button 5, these 5 keys are divided into two groups: major key 1, major key mode key 2, to return button 3 be one group, calling button 4 and on-hook button 5 are another group, all be vertical array, all keys are arranged in the side of terminal display screen, operate, each finger gesture is all very natural when holding, as shown in Figure 4.
Introduce mode of operation below, enter the main menu shown in Fig. 2-a after, directly stir major key 1, promptly enter the function of respective icon, needn't push again definite, if item number more than 8, just optional wherein 1~2 icon gets final product as the page turning icon.Functions such as phone, note, diary can be selected interface shown in Fig. 2-b for use, comprise title bar 6, text fields 7, dummy keyboard 8, SCRATCH PAD 9 and status bar 10, this also is the default mode of above-mentioned functions, it is the type mode of major key mode key 2, after the text input is finished, need push major key mode key 2 and forward command mode to, each character of dummy keyboard 8 promptly is changed to " calling ", " transmission ", " preservation rough draft " etc., and then stir major key 1, can carry out the corresponding command.Audio-visual broadcast, camera, GPS, picture browsing, e-book reading etc. can be selected interface shown in Fig. 2-c for use, the command mode of owner's key mode key 2 on the pattern, add literal/icon with the circle of being with arrow and explain the action of corresponding major key 1 and the instruction that is produced thereof, being familiar with back icon bar 11 can hide, to show picture more greatly.The cursor mode of major key mode key 2 down operation is similar to the cursor of computer, stirs major key 1 moving cursor, pushes major key 1 to click or double-click, and pins-stir-decontrol major key 1 to drag, and pushes to return button 3 and open menu.Each function all has its default mode and the indefinite alternative mode of number.
