Description

The man-computer interface method and the man-computer interface device of sports equipment

Technical field

The present invention is relevant with sports equipment, particularly about a kind of man-computer interface method and man-computer interface device of sports equipment.

Background technology

Indoor sport equipment such as common now treadmill, fixed bicycle, treadmills; Nearly all be that operation bench with an electronic type is as man-computer interface; Be available for users to import various parameters or instruction, and export various visions (and sense of hearing) information and give the user to sports equipment.In existing man-computer interface, the most general input mode is the button that many each tool difference in functionalitys are set on operation bench, supplies the user to press corresponding button with input parameter or instruction in different phase according to demand.On the other hand; The more common way of output is to utilize various light emitting diodes (LED) to show information such as simple cresset, numeral, English alphabet, " motion course figure " at present; Advanced then shows more exquisite careful information picture with LCD screen, and wherein, the existing operation bench of minority has adopted the Touch Screen (touchscreen) that has input function concurrently; Through " virtual key " identical with above-mentioned physical button function is provided, reach the purpose of simplifying operation bench in screen-picture.

And no matter be which kind of sports equipment; (for example " the running tape travel speed " of treadmill reaches " running platform angle of inclination " for demonstration and setting " quantifiable motion difficulty "; Or bicycle, treadmills " trampling resistance " etc.), be undoubtedly one of function that aforementioned man-computer interface is indispensable and operating frequency is the highest.In existing man-computer interface; Be to show the parameter value of representing the aforementioned movement difficulty in a plurality of seven-segment displaies (7-segment LED display) or certain the hurdle frame in screen-picture mostly; For example " 3.5 (miles/hour) " or " (level) 10 " and so on; And be provided for " 0 "～" 9 " key of input digit, "+" that be used to increase and decrease numerical value, "-" key and/or represent some shortcuts etc. of certain particular value respectively, let the user can utilize the selected and adjustment aforementioned parameters value of each button.

Yet; The user utilizes the operating performance of above-mentioned button (no matter being entity or virtual key) setup parameter easy inadequately in fact; For example, when supposing that the user will be adjusted into " 3.5 " by present " 7.0 " with the value of certain parameter, in general possibly take one of following three kinds of methods: one of which; Earlier press numerical key " 3 " in regular turn and reach " 5 ", press " Enter " key that input is confirmed in representative again; Its two, continue to press aforementioned "-" key, make parameter value by " 7.0 ", " 6.9 ", " 6.8 " ... Constantly successively decrease, decontrol again when " 3.5 " in good time; They are three years old; Press shortcut " 3.0 " or " 4.0 " earlier; Make parameter value directly become the value of shortcut representative, then press five aforementioned "+" keys or "-" key (or pressing appropriate time) again, parameter value is revised to " 3.5 " by " 3.0 " or " 4.0 ".More than various operating performances all show slightly complicated, easy inadequately; Also shortcoming is unified between the various situations feels and intuitive; And, in each button, repeatedly correctly select or press appropriate time by certain button, the situation that is easier to input error or input failure takes place.

Another shortcoming of relevant demonstration of convention interface method and setting numerical parameter is; Because only can show the present value of aforementioned parameters in the corresponding hurdle frame on the operation bench; So can't the be cognitive intuitively present parameter value of user also is difficult for being affectedly bashful amplitude of fluctuation with respect to relation that maybe setting range when adjusting.For example, this TV station sports equipment only if the user knows sth. or sb. thoroughly, otherwise, only see that the parameter value of representing the motion difficulty is showing " 3.5 " and so on, can not learn the seated position of this value in the possibility setting range.Simultaneously, the intermediate intensity of wanting to attempt this TV station sports equipment as the user, or at present during 1.5 dual intensities of load also all can't intuition, input or increase and decrease correct value apace.

In addition, regular meeting utilizes LED matrix (or aforementioned LED matrix that the simulation majority are familiar with in screen-picture) to be the variation course of the parameter value of representing the motion difficulty, promptly aforementioned " motion course figure " in the typical sports equipment man-computer interface.On behalf of time, the longitudinal axis, the transverse axis of common aforementioned LED matrix represent difficulty; For example by every row from left to right represent 1 minute, every displacement table 1 grade difficulty from lower to upper; So, suppose that the user is set at motion formula (program) preceding 5 minutes and increases progressively 1 grade speed by difficulty " 1 " with per minute to strengthen gradually, then maintained difficulty " 5 " in five minutes; Then to light a number can be 1,2,3,4,5,5,5,5,5,5 to the left side in the LED matrix ten row LED in regular turn.In motion process, certain row LED of corresponding period at present can continue flicker, to indicate the present residing stage.As if according to cognitive style all the time, it is the more/few that the LED on certain file lights a number, promptly represents the motion difficulty of corresponding period higher/lower, and so nothing is improper.But; From another viewpoint; Similarly be the angle of inclination of running platform, the isoparametric situation of resistance of trampling of bicycle especially; The user be the road surface heeling condition of skimulated motion with the association of the bright-dark cut that appeared in the aforementioned LED matrix sometimes, for example preceding half section in the above-mentioned course regarded as uphill way, the second half section fixed at an elevation angle and regards (on the mountain top) horizontal highway section as, but this and actual motion difficulty of carrying out and do not meet.On the contrary; If can be with the angle of inclination of running platform, the variation course of trampling this type of resistance parameter of bicycle; Utilize the folding line or the bending side of imitation road surface heeling condition to express; Because easily and the impression to actual motion and real world combine, so the user should be more aforementioned parameters variable condition in can a cognitive intuitively, fast motion course.

In the present embodiment; The display mode that control module 11 can be selected according to the running stage and/or the user of sports equipment (this example is a treadmill); Control Touch Screen 13 (display screen 14; Below omit) the suitable information picture of demonstration, the representative picture when information picture 19 as shown in Figure 2 promptly is not to use the person moving with treadmill (annotate: wherein each association is merely illustration).As shown in Figure 2, information picture 19 mainly comprises the course viewing area 21 that is shown in picture central authorities, be shown in one first of left and right two sides of picture respectively sets group of graphs 41A and one second and sets group of graphs 41B and be shown in the several parameters viewing area 71 bottom the picture.

First sets group of graphs 41A is used for showing and setting " angle of inclination of running platform " (to call first parameter in the following text), and second sets group of graphs 41B is used for demonstration and sets " running speed of the band of running " (to call second parameter in the following text).See also Fig. 4-a; Each sets group of graphs 41A, 41B has the adjustment region 42 that without exception is rectangle; Adjustment region 42 demonstrates the adjustment path 43 of a longitudinal extension; Adjustment path 43 has relative one first end 431 (bottom among the figure) and one second end 432 (top among the figure); Mark is being drawn some scales 44 therebetween, and indicate a minimum possible value character 451 respectively on the next door of relative two ends 431,432 (this example for " 0.0 ") and a maximum possible value character 452 (this example is " 15.0 "), shows the possible setting range of corresponding parameter with this.Simultaneously, outside first end 431 of adjustment region 42 and second end 432, has depreciation diagram 46 and one value added diagram 47 respectively.More the below is then indicating the title and the unit 48 of corresponding parameter, and for example the first setting group of graphs 41A is that " Incline " reaches " % ", and the second setting group of graphs 41B is that " Speed " reaches " mph ".

Storage element 12 prestores the related data of the plurality of preset probable value in a default value scope of the parameters that treadmill is available for users to set; With first parameter (running platform angle of inclination) and second parameter (running tape travel speed) is example; Each parameter can received numerical value minimum be 0, be 15 to the maximum; And minimum adjusted value is 0.1; Then storage element 12 possibly be each parameter prestoring " 0.0 ", " 0.1 ", " 0.2 " ... " 14.8 ", " 14.9 " reach 151 probable values such as " 15.0 ", or store the reckoning rule of each probable value, can supply control module 11 to read utilization.Adjustable entire series according to each parameter; Control module 11 can be along corresponding some " interval " (not shown) of adjustment path 43 predetermined numbers of each adjustment region 42; Each interval its position on adjustment path 43 of complying with is represented the probable value in the plurality of preset probable value in the aforementioned default value scope respectively; In brief, be positioned at the interval representative " 0.0 " of adjustment path 43 lowermost ends, " 0.1 " is represented in time interval on it; Up be " 0.2 ", " 0.3 " again ..., " 15.0 " are then represented in the interval of top.Mandatory declaration be; The mark of setting between aforementioned zones and scale 44 is drawn not absolute relation, and as in this example, first, second adjustment region 42 of setting group of graphs 41A, 41B is respectively marked 15 clearly visible lattice by scale 44; And each lattice is defined ten intervals in programmed control in fact; That is, suppose that each lattice accounts for 20 pixels (pixel) on the longitudinal axis of screen-picture, then be a time interval at a distance from 2 pixels and (annotate: if the total pixel on the adjustment path 43 is with always interval when aliquant every on the adjustment path 43; Then can suitably divide equally according to preset principle, for example the odd number interval accounts for 3 pixels, the even number interval accounts for 2 pixels etc.).Certainly, when the preset probable value negligible amounts of corresponding parameter (particularly) in other embodiments of the invention also possibly mark each interval separation with one to one scale 44 marks.

Each is set group of graphs 41A, 41B and also comprises an index 51 and a desired value character 52 that floats and show.Index 51 parts are laminated on the adjustment region 42; Its profile generally is drops; Most advanced and sophisticated position forms an indication portion 511; Whole display position controlled unit 11 controls and can be along adjustment path 43 upper and lower displacements, and utilize the interval on the indication adjustment path 43, position of its indication portion 511 show the position of the present setting value of corresponding parameter in maybe setting range with this.Desired value character 52 keeps being laminated on the index 51, and promptly display position is along with index 51 43 changes along the adjustment path, and presents the probable value of the interval representative of index 51 indications with corresponding numeral, shows the present setting value of corresponding parameter with this.With Fig. 4-a is example, and 31st interval come by the lowermost end number corresponding to adjustment on the path 42 in indication portion 511 positions of index 51, so desired value character 52 presents numeral " 3.0 ".

Above-mentioned presentation mode through adjustment region 42, index 51 and desired value character 52; The user not only can accurately read the numerical value that aforementioned parameters is set at present, also can cognitive intuitively aforementioned numerical value with respect to the relation (for example " lower middle " or " three/the last two " and so on) of the possible setting range of parameter.

Then, as shown in Figure 3, illustrate the relevant treatment scheme of setting first, second parameter in the man-computer interface method that this preferred embodiment provides.By and large; This method is Touch Screen 13 to be shown have the information picture 19 of setting group of graphs 41A, 41B; Then monitor Touch Screen 13 and receive whether to touch to reach and receive touch location, make and repeatedly to respond the specific touch action of user Touch Screen 13 with particular procedure such as change index 19 positions.Person to be used accomplishes adjustment action, the probable value that is about to the interval representative of index 51 indications regard as the parameter value that will set.And the user can adjust the aforementioned parameters value times without number.

More detailed saying is exactly; Corresponding to the step 1 in the process flow diagram (S1); Control module 11 control Touch Screen 13 earlier shows information picture 19 (annotate: wherein multinomial data maybe be different or blank); And according to preestablishing first, second parameter initial value separately in storage element 12, control makes the index 51 among first, second setting group of graphs 41A, the 41B indicate the interval of corresponding initial value respectively.In the present embodiment; The initial value of first parameter (running platform angle of inclination) and second parameter (running tape travel speed) all is " 0.0 ", in other words, and before the user adjusts as yet; Each index 51 all is positioned at the lowermost end of its possibility scope of activities; And desired value character 52 presents " 0.0 ", and corresponding to this, the running platform of treadmill is in horizontality, the band of running remains static.In other application examples of the present invention, during as parameters such as setting " age ", " height ", " body weight ", the initial value of parameter is predeterminable to be the suitable numerical value in centre of possible setting range, so that the user takes the circumstances into consideration increase and decrease.

In step 2 (S2), control module 11 can with index 51 at present the intervals of indication the probable value of interval representative (or should) be recorded as one " initial point ", the home position when abandoning adjusting in the subsequent operation, this part is held back explanation.

Step 3 in the process flow diagram to step 6 (S3～S6); Expression control module 11 can monitoring Touch Screens 13 (touch-sensing screen 15; Below omit) whether touched by the user to reach to receive touch location, and judge whether touch action meets the predefined specific action of adjusting aforementioned parameters.In this example, have four types of specific touch actions (brief note is " specific action one ", " two ", " three ", " four " among Fig. 3) and can adjust first, second parameter.If in the determining program of step 3～6; Touch Screen 13 is not touched; Or touch action does not belong to the specific touch action; Then directly " identifications " of execution in step 7 (S7) action, the probable value (being the numerical value that desired value character 52 appears) of the interval representative of just index 13 being indicated is regarded as the value of parameter." identification " speech among the present invention expressing " man-computer interface (interim or temporary) is accepted or the affirmation parameter value ", is not the meaning of " parameter value is decided, and must not adjust again " only.

If aforementioned specific action one, two, three or four in the determining program of step 3～6, occurs; Then treatment scheme can change step 8,9,10 or 11 (S8, S9, S10, S11) respectively over to and carry out " particular procedure one ", " two ", " three " or " four "; Be that control module 11 can be responded the specific touch action of user to Touch Screen 13 with a particular procedure, correlative detail remakes explanation after a while.

Execution of step 8～11 is after wherein any step; In step 12 (S12); Control module 11 can judge whether the user is still carrying out aforementioned specific touch action; (if i.e. " action is not removed "), then treatment scheme can return the determining program of step 3～6, can repeatedly carry out aforementioned response action.

Reach " particular procedure one " about " specific action one "; In brief; If the user touches index 51 visualization area on the Touch Screens 13 with finger 61, and keeping touch condition up or toward bottom offset, then control module 11 can control makes index 51 produce to move or move down on corresponding; Especially index 51 is dragged to another position along adjustment path 43 with its finger tip like the user, making index 51 is another interval of indication by the interval change of indication indication at present.In concrete example; Shown in Fig. 4-a; Index 51 is being indicated the interval of representative " 3.0 " originally, and user's touch location by indicate among Fig. 4-b 62 position up move to along the touch track 63 among Fig. 4-c indicate 62 ' the position, control module 11 can convert based on touch track 63 draw the effective track 55 on the adjustment path 43; Effectively track 55 is a starting point with the interval (i.e. the interval of representative " 3.0 ") of index 51 present indications; And terminal point supposes it is the interval of representing " 10.0 ", and then index 51 can change to the position of indication " 10.0 ", simultaneously along effective track 55 controlled position by indication " 3.0 "; Desired value character 52 present that numerical value is also controlled to become " 10.0 " by " 3.0 ", shown in Fig. 4-c.

Mandatory declaration be, more than the change possibly occur in the processing cycle (for example 1/10 second) of control module 11, also possibly pass through a plurality of aforementioned processing cycles.The meaning is that if user's finger tip is accomplished above-mentioned dragging in the extremely short time, then index 51 may directly be beated to the position of " 10.0 " by the position of " 3.0 ".Be touch track 63 equally; If user's the speed that drags is slower; Then handling procedure may be judged and step 8 processing through step 3 repeatedly; Be the user possibly see index 51 along with finger tip by " 3.0 ", " 4.0 ", " 5.0 " ... Move to " 10.0 " gradually, or even more smooth slippage.

Shown in Fig. 4-a, each is set and also comprises a live index 54 among group of graphs 41A, the 41B, live index 54 be one in adjustment region 42 by the color lump that up extends of first end 431 in adjustment path 43, the indication portion 541 between an aforementioned zones is being indicated in its apical margin formation.The probable value that first and second sets the interval representative of live index 54 indications among group of graphs 41A, the 41B corresponds respectively to present angle of inclination of running platform and the running corresponding parameter value with present running speed.Under most situations, the interval of live index 54 indications can with indicated interval identical of index 51, but; With Fig. 4-a to 4-e is example, and the index 51 in the first setting group of graphs 41A is indication " 10.0 " by indication " 3.0 " change, and " 10.0 " are identified as the value (step 7) of first parameter; Then control module 11 can be according to this its machine performance of value control running platform change; Promptly steeved gradually toward the angle of inclination of corresponding " 10.0 " by the angle of inclination of corresponding " 3.0 ", be in course of adjustment, the indication portion 541 of live index 54 can raise gradually and react running platform angle of inclination at that time; Arrive angle on target until running platform, shown in Fig. 4-c to 4-e.The above-mentioned performance of live index 54 also can be reflected in second parameter and other methods of operating.

What remark additionally is; In the time of will dragging index 51 with above-mentioned method of operating; One of the condition person of being to use touches the start position of Touch Screen 13 must be corresponding to " visualization area " of index 51, and aforementioned visualization area can suitably be set according to situation, is not limited to (water droplet shape) profile of index 51; For example can adopt looser standard; As long as touch location 62 falls into the rectangular area 56 of the external index 51 shown in Fig. 5-a, or adopt more harsh standard, require touch location 62 must fall into the central area of index 51 images.Above principle is common to other touch action among the present invention.

The coordinate of relevant touch location 62 is judged, the centre of form (centroid) of normally getting the Fingertip touch area, or touch the maximum point of pressure in the area, and then can remake a little correction sometimes based on vision deviation, this part is a prior art.

In addition; Shown in Fig. 5-a to 5-b, even touch track 63 is not parallel to adjustment path 43, in acceptable deviation angle; Control module 11 still can be scaled the effective track 55 on the adjustment path 43 with it; That is, the length of effective track 55 equals touch track 63 and is projected in the length on the longitudinal axis (adjustment path 43), like Fig. 5-c signal.

Reach " particular procedure two " about " specific action two "; In brief; If the user touches the optional position (interval arbitrarily) in the adjustment region 42 with finger 61; Except " specific action one " and the interval arbitrarily situation of index 51 present i.e. indications, it is that indication is interval arbitrarily that control module 11 meeting controlling index 51 directly change.For example, in Fig. 6-a, index 51 is being indicated the interval of representative " 3.0 " originally; And touch location 62 is corresponding to the interval of representative " 10.0 "; Then directly change should the interval for indication for index 51, and the numerical value that appears of desired value character 52 also can correspondence change, shown in Fig. 6-b.

The user also can then utilize the position of " specific action one " adjustment index 51 utilizing " specific action two " to make index 51 changes to an optional position.This kind situation, the route of handling procedure is step 4, step 9, step 12, step 3 and step 8.

Reach " particular procedure three " about " specific action three "; Shown in Fig. 7-a, when the interval of index 51 indication is not the interval (probable value that means the interval representative of index 51 indications is not the maximum possible value) of adjustment path 43 tops, and the user is when touching the value added diagram 47 that is positioned at adjustment region 42 tops with its finger 61; Index 51 can be past than time interval change near the top; Promptly the probable value of representative increases progressively a minimum adjusted value, and for example the index among the figure 51 is being indicated the interval of representative " 3.0 " originally, touches once value added diagram 47 and can make index 51 move to " 3.1 "; Touch again and once then move to " 3.2 " again ..., the rest may be inferred.And, surpassing a Preset Time when touching value added diagram 47, index 51 promptly continues to rise.Otherwise, shown in Fig. 7-b, when the interval of index 51 indication is not the interval of lowermost end, touch depreciation diagram 46 can make index 51 toward near time interval change of bottom, i.e. the probable value of the representative minimum adjusted value that successively decreases.

Reach " particular procedure four " about " specific action four "; Shown in Fig. 8-a, also have a label 53 among the second setting group of graphs 41B, label 53 generally is drops; And utilize between the given zone on its most advanced and sophisticated indication portion 531 indication adjustment paths 43 (being the interval of representative " 4.5 " among the figure); If the user touches label 53, then can controlling index 51 directly to change be between the indicated given zone of indicating label 53, shown in Fig. 8-b to 8-c to control module 11.

In the present embodiment; The interval of label 53 indications is the interval of index 51 previous indications in fact; For example in Fig. 8-c; When index 51 changed the interval to the indicated representative " 4.5 " of label 53 by the interval of indication representative " 8.5 ", label 53 also can change to the interval of indicating the indicated representative " 8.5 " of previous index 51.The user can recall to last time position (i.e. the interval of representative " 8.5 ") with index 51 by label 53 again apace so, after this.The present invention also can laminate a label value character (not shown) on label 53, present the probable value of the interval representative of label 53 indications with corresponding numeral.

On the routine processes, be that (step 7), control make label 53 indications (in step 2) be registered as the interval of initial point when the probable value of the interval representative that index 51 is indicated is regarded as parameter value.For example; State at Fig. 8-a; " 8.5 " of index 51 indication can be registered as initial point, if the user down drags the position of index 51 by " 8.5 " with the method for operating of " specific action one ", or earlier up more down; Inferior step 3 and the step 8 of process plural number in a word; Then after the user decontrols finger, (for example index 51 is dragged to " 4.5 " position shown in Fig. 8-c), label 53 still can correctly change to index 51 by the position before being dragged (i.e. the interval of representative " 8.5 "), rather than drag the position in the process.

Step 12 in process flow diagram; If monitoring the user, control module 11 stopped touching Touch Screen 13; Or touch location has exceeded the approval scope of aforementioned specific touch action; Promptly be judged to be " action remove ", then execution in step 13 again, judge index 51 indications after the change interval representative probable value and whether be registered as gap between the probable value of interval representative of initial point greater than a preset difference value (this official holiday is made as 10).Know that gap is less than or equal to preset difference value if declare, the then directly identification of execution in step 7 action, the probable value of the interval representative of index 51 indications after being about to change is regarded as parameter value; Otherwise, know gap greater than preset difference value if declare, the then judgement operation of execution in step 14 again.

In step 14, whether control module 11 can the monitoring user assign an indication or a negative indication certainly through Touch Screen 13, and when having monitored sure indication or having negated indication, promptly directly the identification of execution in step 7 is moved; Otherwise; Do not indicate certainly or have when negating indication when monitoring; Then can first execution in step 15 execution in step 7 again, that is, first controlling index 51 is returned the position that is registered as initial point; Again the probable value of the interval representative of index 51 indication is regarded as parameter value, be equal to the adjustment of before being done and fully phase out.

For example; Shown in Fig. 9-a to 9-d; If by indicating the position of " 4.5 " to be adjusted to maximum possible value " 15.0 " without a break originally, then after the user decontroled finger 61, declared and know that the change gap surpasses preset difference value by control module 11 with index 51 for the user; Based on security consideration (the particularly significantly increment situation of first, second parameter), can show on index 51 that one confirms that diagram 57 requires the user to confirm (shown in Fig. 9-d).Preferably, confirm diagram 57 can with desired value character 52 Alternation Display, note to remind the user, and " whether very will adjust numerical value so far? " arranged Implication.Confirm diagram 57 if the user touches in a Preset Time (for example 3 or 5 seconds), then be regarded as sure indication; If diagram 57 is not confirmed in touch in Preset Time, then be regarded as not indicating certainly, so, through the processing of step 15, index 51 (and label 53) can return back to the preceding state of adjustment of Fig. 9-a again.

Selectively; Whether assign a certainly indication or when negating indication the monitoring user; Also show a cancellation diagram (not shown) in the may command information picture 19, if the user touches the cancellation diagram in a Preset Time, then being regarded as negates indication; If in Preset Time, do not touch the cancellation diagram, then being regarded as does not negate indication.

More than be in the treatment scheme of Fig. 3, by the execution content of the step 7 of step 1 to the bottom on top.After step 7, can return step 2, carry out foregoing circularly, that is, the user can adjust index 51 positions (promptly adjusting parameter value) times without number according to situation.

In the above-described embodiments, be to remove when Touch Screen 13 carried out the specific touch action when monitoring the user, just carry out identification (confirming earlier in case of necessity).In other embodiments of the invention, possibly respond specific touch action with a particular procedure after, promptly directly carry out and assert.

Then shown in Figure 10-a to 10-e; Another example for the setting group of graphs among the present invention; The index of setting among the group of graphs 41C 51 ' is filled in the adjustment region; Comprise one first color lump 512 that up extended by the bottom and form an indication portion 511 by the top toward the boundary of one second color lump, 513, two color lumps 512,513 that extend below, indication is the interval on the adjustment path vertically; Desired value character 512 ' fixedly is presented at the adjustment region top; Live index 54 ' is clipped in the adjustment region both sides with two relative arrows, to indicate the corresponding interval of machine performance at present.When the visualization area (be any position in adjustment region) of touch location 62 corresponding to index 51 '; And drag 62 ' time to another position along a touch track 63; The indication portion 511 of index 51 ' can be according to the effective track that converses 55 corresponding risings or reduction, and live index 54 ' also can be caught up with subsequently.If finger dubs the optional position in the adjustment region, index 51 ' is promptly directly indicated the optional position.

Figure 11-a to 11-c is an example again of the setting group of graphs among the present invention; The adjustment path of setting among the group of graphs 41D 43 ' is circular-arc; And; Except indicating respectively minimum possible value character 451 ' and maximum possible value character 452 ' are arranged, also scatter some probable value characters 45 therebetween, read in order to distinguishing at first end 431 ' and second end 432 '.Index 51 " then comprise one and be located at adjustment path 43 ' corral central circular principal part 514, and the pointed indication portion 511 that is positioned on principal part 514 circumference "; Desired value character 52 " fixedly is presented at index 51 " central authorities.When touch location 62 corresponding to index 51 " visualization area; and drag 62 ' time; index 51 to another position along a touch track 63 " indication portion 511 " can be according to the effective track 55 of arc that converses; the circumference along principal part 514 slides onto another position by current position accordingly, as reversing a circular turn-knob.In the present invention; If the preset probable value negligible amounts of parameter, just adjust interval on the path cut apart less, then; If each interval other probable value character that all indicates in the adjustment path; Or sign is enough suitably distinguished some probable value characters of reading on the adjustment path, promptly might not need the desired value character, also can the indicated parameter value of cognitive index.For the parameter that does not need accurately to learn numerical value, all the more so.

In itself, the method for above-mentioned setup parameter provided by the invention also can be regarded as according to the position proportional of index 51 indicating positions on adjustment path 43, and parameter value is modified to the value that meets ratio in the possibility setting range.And handling on the gimmick, the indicating positions of the numerical basis index 51 that also can desired value character 52 be appeared increases or reduces a modified value corresponding to the change distance of indicating positions on adjustment path 43 in the change direction on the adjustment path 43.
