Refer to Figure 12, its intelligent input system that is one embodiment of the invention and method schematic diagram.As shown in the figure, intelligent input system comprises an input equipment 30 and an electronic equipment 40, and wherein input equipment 30 and electronic equipment 40 are considered as example with intelligent mobile phone and intelligent electric respectively and explain.On the display of electronic equipment 40, show multiple image objects, in the time that user wants to choose a destination object, can be first by any a starting point A in the touch-control surface of finger contact input equipment 30, and do not leaving slippage in touch-control surface under touch-control surface state, now on the display of electronic equipment 40, can demonstrate a highlight regions, and the recessive cursor that highlight regions can be controlled along with input equipment 30 or pointer position and move, and in the time comprising destination object in highlight regions, user's finger can stop slippage, the terminal of this slippage represents with B point, and in the time that user's finger leaves touch-control surface, highlight regions is fixed on current position, and form a frame and select the target block 20 of constraint term group.

On the display of electronic equipment 40, shown target block 20 comprises central object 201 and multiple target 202a-202d around, multiple target 202a-202d around take central object 201 as center relatively around and adjacent to central object 201.Aforementioned B point is as control center's point of input equipment 30, and form center-control district 301 centered by B point position, and show with a centre circle, it is corresponding to the central object 201 in target block 20, around center-control district 301, form multiple control zone 302a-302d around, respectively the multiple target 202a-202d around in corresponding target block 20.The input instruction that for the benefit of identification user carries out on input equipment 30, multiple control zone 302a-302d around system arranges in the fan-shaped mode around center-control district 301, and to make the fan-shaped angle summation of all control zone 302a-302d of surrounding be 360 degree.Wherein, around 301 peripheries, center-control district are roughly distinguished into upper and lower, left and right Si Qu by control zone 302a-302d, and form similar five configuration modes to control panel with center-control district 301 is common, in order to correspondence input central object 201 and target 202a-202d around.

For example, in the time that user clicks center-control district 301 on input media 30, the input media 30 i.e. corresponding constraint term of its click location of identification is immediately central object 201, and in the time that user clicks in one of them of multiple control zone 302a-302d around, input media 30 complies with the location identification of its click, and shows the result of choosing of the corresponding object 202a-202d of surrounding.For instance, if user clicks in the control zone 302a of surrounding of input media 30, can identification user want to be chosen for the object 202a of surrounding that represents CATV (cable television) image.In like manner, if user clicks in the control zone 302d of surrounding of input media 30, can identification user want to be chosen for the object 202d of surrounding that represents YouTube image.

Except aforesaid five to control panel pattern, the technology of the present invention concept also can be applied the control model of nine grids (3x3), that is the control model of similar 3 × 3 numerical keys.Refer to Figure 13, its intelligent input system that is one embodiment of the invention and method schematic diagram.As shown in the figure, intelligent input system comprises an input media 30 and an electronic equipment 40, and wherein input media 30 and electronic equipment 40 explain as an example of intelligent mobile phone and satellite navigator example respectively.The operation screen that comprises a dummy keyboard on display of satellite navigation device on the display of electronic equipment 40, in the time that user wants to carry out character input, can utilize finger slippage on the Touch Screen of input media 30, make target block 20 comprise target piece with moving target block 20, wherein, target block 20 comprises central object 201 and multiple object 202a-202h around.Take Figure 13 as example, central object 201 represents English alphabet F, and multiple object 202a-202h around represent respectively English alphabet E, R, T, D, G, X, C, V.

And on input media 30, B point position forms center-control district 301, and show with a centre circle, it is corresponding to the central object 201 in target block 20, around center-control district 301, form eight control zone 302a-302h around, the scope of miter angle is contained in each region, and distinguishes the multiple object 202a-202h around in corresponding target block 20.Therefore 5, eight of the digital keys that, center-control district 301 is equivalent to corresponding 3 × 3 numeric keypads around control zone 302a-302h are equivalent to the digital keys 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9 of corresponding 3 × 3 numeric keypads.

In the time will inputting, can be according to target piece the position with respect to central object 201, carry out an input action in input media 30 in respect to the control zone 302a-302h of surrounding on the correspondence position in center-control district 301.For example, in the time wanting input alphabet E, control zone 302a has clicked input action around; In the time wanting input alphabet G, control zone 302e has clicked input action around; In the time wanting input alphabet C, control zone 302g has clicked input action around.

In one embodiment, click when input user, input media 30 can be by calculating distance and the angle of click location with respect to the central point (B point) in center-control district 301, why judges the target piece of institute's wish input.

On the other hand, the mode of mobile highlight regions is not limited to point slippage in touch-control surface and reaches.For instance, input media 30 can have built-in gravity sensor, gyroscope or aerial slide-mouse function, thus can utilize the mode of shaking or rocking input media to move highlight regions, to point to the target block that comprises target piece.In other words, the technology of the present invention can coordinate the mode of click (swing & tap) to input by shake.And in this pattern, input media 30 is to be designed to judge stop (rest) action of finger in touch-control surface.For example, when finger is in the time that a fixed point contact of touch-control surface exceedes a schedule time, can be judged as and stop action.

In one embodiment, in the time that user shakes input media 30, user's thumb also rests on arbitrary appropriate location in the touch-control surface of input media 30 simultaneously, and in the time that comprising target piece, highlight regions just stops shake, the position that now thumb stops is as the central point (B point) in the center-control district 301 of input media 30, and the then position with respect to central object 201 according to target piece, click in respect to the control zone 302a-302h of surrounding on the correspondence position in center-control district 301 in input media 30, to carry out an input action.

In one embodiment, input media 30 is can be designed in the time that thumb rests in the touch-control surface of input media 30 arbitrary appropriate location, start the control model of shake, and in the time detecting in the touch-control surface that does not have finger to rest on input media 30, close the control model of shake.So can guarantee after thumb leaves touch-control surface and during follow-up click action executing, because the control model of shake is closed, thus can freeze the position of target block 20, to avoid because rocking because of carelessness input media 30, target block 20 being changed.

In the time that input media 30 has Touch Screen, center-control district 301 and the around separator bar between the 302a-302h of control zone can be presented on Touch Screen, for user's identification regional position.So on the other hand, the demonstration of separator bar is also inessential, as long as user knows the center position in center-control district 301, also can, in the situation that watching without eyes, click input at correspondence position.

Therefore,, by the subregion control model of aforementioned touch-control surface, traditional five also can realize in physical button situation not having to control panel or nine grids (3 × 3) control model.In other words, the present invention can configure with the object in the target block 20 of highlighted demonstration on the display of corresponding electronic equipment 40, a unsteady input area is flexibly provided on input media 30, and because this input area can adapt to and adjust automatically, to meet the object configuration in target block 20, therefore user needs only according to target piece the position with respect to central object 201, click in respect to the control zone 302a-302h of surrounding on the correspondence position in center-control district 301 in input media 30, can complete input action.

In addition, input mode of the present invention more can realize multipoint-touch-technology.Under this embodiment, input media 30 be designed to can identification touch-control surface on different contact commands, for example, can pick out the slippage (slide) of single finger, single-click (tap), double-click on (double tap), stop (rest), swipe (swipe), and the slippage of many fingers (slide), single-click (tap), double-click on (double tap), stop (rest), swipe (swipe), or the many gestures (pinch) that finger inwardly slides simultaneously, the many gestures (spread) that finger outwards slides simultaneously, and the rotational slide gesture (rotate) of many fingers etc.

For instance, under multi-point touch pattern, input media 30 can be designed to receive the target block 20 with highlighted demonstration on the display that the instruction of first kind touch-control carrys out mobile electronic device 40, then receive the instruction of Equations of The Second Kind touch-control to be chosen in the target piece in target block 20, then receive the 3rd class touch-control instruction to reset the center position of input media 30, then receive the configuration of the 4th class touch-control instruction with conversion target block 20.

Certainly, different combinations and mapping mode also can be implemented.For example, input media 30 is designed to control with the slippage of two fingers the movement of target block 20, and point using left side with the contact point of touch-control surface as default central point, then move select target object with the single-click of a finger, then move to reset the center position of input media 30 with the single-click of two fingers.

In another embodiment, the configuration of the interior constraint term combination of target block 20 also can further be adjusted.For example, in the time that user inwardly slides in touch-control surface with two fingers simultaneously, can make the option configuration in target block 20 be reduced to five to three lattice configurations (3-V) of plate configuration (5-D), vertical direction or three lattice configurations (3-H) of horizontal direction from nine grids (3x3) configuration mode; In the time that user outwards slides in touch-control surface with two fingers simultaneously, can make the option configuration in target block 20 be transformed into more complicated nine grids (3x3) configuration mode from three lattice configurations (3-V) of better simply vertical direction, the three lattice configurations (3-H) or five of horizontal direction to plate configuration (5-D); And in the time that user carries out rotational slide with two fingers in touch-control surface, can make the option configuration in target block 20 be transformed into three lattice configurations (3-H) of horizontal direction from three lattice configurations (3-V) of vertical direction, or three lattice that make the option configuration in target block 20 be transformed into vertical direction from three lattice configurations (3-H) of horizontal direction configure (3-V).

Again, in another more complicated embodiment, as shown in figure 14, the target block 20 showing on the display of electronic equipment 40 comprises central object 201, multiple ground floors are object 202a-202h around, and multiple second layers object 203a-203h around, and the receivable instruction of input media 30 comprises: control the movement of target block 20 with the slippage of a finger, move to choose central object 201 and ground floor object 202a-202h around with the single-click of a finger, move to choose second layer object 203a-203h around with the single-click of two fingers, move to reset the contact point of left side finger and touch-control surface as the center position of input media 30 take the single-click of two fingers, inwardly slide and make the option configuration in target block 20 be reduced to individual layer nine grids (3x3) configuration mode from double-deck nine grids (3x3) configuration mode simultaneously in touch-control surface with two fingers, and outwards slide and make the option configuration in target block 20 be transformed into double-deck nine grids (3x3) configuration mode from individual layer nine grids (3x3) configuration mode simultaneously in touch-control surface with two fingers.

Certainly, except nine grids (3x3) configuration mode, five also can have multi-layer configuration mode equally to three lattice configurations (3-V) of plate configuration (5-D), vertical direction or three lattice configurations (3-H) of horizontal direction, and carry out the input of different layers option by different touch-control instructions.
