Abstract

The invention provides a user's interface allowing a user to use fingers to control a mouse cursor displayed on a touch screen. Only when two fingers contact the touch screen simultaneously, and certain distance limit between two contacts is met, a virtual mouse can be activated. When the virtual mouse is activated, the mouse cursor appears in a position which is close to the two contacts and which is not sheltered by the fingers. Two touch controls are displayed with the two contacts as the center, and the user drawing an optional control can make the cursor move synchronously. By means of the control mode, the user is allowed to see the cursor when the cursor moves, and small objects which are difficult to be targeted before can be targeted easily and accurately. In addition, when the finger clicks or presses the left or right sides of the touch controls, that is to say, similar operations are performed on the left or the right key of the mouse. The control mode is closer to operational habits of a traditional mouser as compared with other method using a touch screen to control the mouse to move.

Description

A kind of virtual mouse

Technical field

Each aspect of the present invention relates generally to control the display highlighting on graphoscope, and more specifically, relates to finger alternately by the cursor control being associated with cursor, controls cursor.

Background technology

In computing equipment, it is more general that touch surface becomes just rapidly.They are very convenient, because they allow user to make the natural gesture that user is familiar with thereon, as by inputting person's handwriting with special input pen, the input being provided by user's finger tip is also provided many these equipment.Term touch surface or the equipment that will use here refer to such surface or equipment: it is configured to survey " input pen " of any type, as the touch of the input pen equipment of particular design or user's finger.Use finger or with a shortcoming of the input pen of larger area tip be, being difficult to accurately aim at the place that finger will touch, and being difficult to aim at less demonstration object with pointing.Therefore, even if need to provide method and the corresponding touch control device that a kind of finger with them also can realize accurate input for user.

In addition, various pointing devices are as mouse and artificial pen type input pen can provide hovering function, mean that user need not produce to click just can position a cursor on a region.But, when existing most of touch-sensitive display is used by people's finger, but seldom possess this ability.Therefore, need to provide a kind of method for user, just can make the somewhere of cursor hover at the shown picture of touch control device display with the finger with them only, trigger some corresponding event with this.

Summary of the invention

Various aspects of the present invention are by providing a kind of user interface that can use together with touch-sensitive display to solve the problems referred to above, and this user interface allows user accurately to aim at, even if input equipment is originally with regard to out of true.This same user interface allows user can accurately aim at ad-hoc location, even if this homing position is less with finger.

The concrete operation method of this user interface has following step.First, on touch control display, show the cursor of a virtual mouse, if cursor is hidden in no touch operation in 5～10 seconds automatically.Secondly, judge whether at once to have two touch points when having detected while touching operation, and whether distance between two touch points be less than 5cm simultaneously, in the time that two conditions all meet, just can activate virtual mouse.Again, in the time that virtual mouse is activated, at once cursor of mouse is moved and is apparent in certain position that is less than 10cm with two touch point line mid point distances, and generate at two touch point places and show that two touch control, cursor of mouse occurs that the actual relative position relation of Yu Liang touch point, position line mid point should be set voluntarily by user, and user wishes that the position that cursor of mouse occurs can not blocked by the finger of oneself certainly.Finally, set and can make cursor carry out synchronizing moving to the move operation of arbitrary touch control, in the time that left side control is clicked or pinned to finger, this operation is considered as to the similar operations to left mouse button; In the time that finger is clicked or pinned right side control, this operation is considered as to the similar operations to right mouse button.

Generally, two shapes that touch control should be circular, and color is white and translucent.

Generally, when virtual mouse is activated, cursor of mouse occurs that the distance of Yu Liang touch point, position line mid point should be less than 5cm.

To the operation of control, allow user in the time of cursor movement, to see cursor, make cursor more accurately aim at less object, and this is to be difficult to aim at previously.In some aspects, can be with compared with the instrument of tweezers and so on, to the operation of control allow user with user interface as carried out accurately alternately in relative small region on touch-sensitive display.

Touch controls and be equivalent to the right and left key of conventional mouse due to two, user manipulates virtual mouse in this way, and the method moving by touch-screen mouse beacon compared to other is closer to the operating habit to conventional mouse.

Embodiment

Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention is done to further explaination, but the scope of protection of present invention is not limited to the content of explaining below.

The cursor 101 of virtual mouse during without touch control operation and left side touches control 102 and right side touches the original state of control 103 on the display of touch control device 104 as shown in Figure 1, generally as the touch control operation without to virtual mouse, cursor 101 and left side touch control 102 and right side touch control 103 will be hidden over time, and the concrete hiding time length that automatically enters is adjusted voluntarily by user.

As shown in Figure 2, touch operation when having detected, and when these touch the satisfied condition that activates virtual mouse of operation, generate left side in position, touch point, left side and touch control 102, touch control 103 on generation right side, position, touch point, right side, and cursor 101 is moved and is apparent in two touch point line mid points apart from certain position that is less than 10cm, cursor 101 occurs that the actual relative position relation of Yu Liang touch point, position line mid point should be set voluntarily by user, and the position that preferably cursor 101 occurs can not blocked by user's finger.Generally cursor 101 occurs that the distance of Yu Liang touch point, position line mid point should be less than 5cm.Judge whether that the condition that meets activation virtual mouse has: the touch point detecting has and only have two, and two touch operation must be almost to carry out simultaneously, two mistimings that touch operation should be controlled in 0.3 second, and this mistiming also should be adjusted voluntarily by user; Two touch points that detect keep the duration of static contact to exceed certain hour could activate virtual mouse, and minimum should have 0.5 second, and concrete touch duration can be adjusted voluntarily by user; The two touch point spacing that detect generally should be less than 5cm.

As shown in Figure 3, single finger is pinned left side touch control 102 or right side touch control 103 and is dragged and can make cursor 101 synchronizing moving thereupon, when two fingers are pinned left side touch control 102 and right side touch control 103 simultaneously and drag, cursor 101 should be with two touch point line mid point synchronizing movings.The operation of left side touch control 102 is clicked or pinned to finger, and visual is the operation of clicking or pin left mouse button; The operation of right side touch control 103 is clicked or pinned to finger, and visual is the operation of clicking or pin right mouse button.

So just can be on touch control device simulating in the familiar mode of user can pinpoint virtual mouse, and the method moving by touch-screen mouse beacon compared to other is the operating habit to conventional mouse closer to people.
