Description

具有叠置触摸垫的选择性呼叫无线设备
技术领域
本发明一般涉及选择性呼叫无线设备,特别是涉及一个具有触摸垫的选择性呼叫无线设备。
背景技术
选择性呼叫无线设备一般包括一个显示器和一个或多个控制出现在显示器上的信息的按钮。近来,有关选择性呼叫无线设备的显示器在外观和功能上越来越象计算机,即显示越来越大,并包含更多的象素,使用了包括图标的图形化的用户界面(GUI),并包括叫做指针的可移动的类似光标的对象。相应地,增加了控制指针的运动以在显示器上显示的图标和字之间选择的需要。
熟知的是使用一套分别用于向上,向下,向左和向右方向上的指针运动的4个按钮。而且,还已知在便携式显示设备上安装一个跟踪球,或一个鼠标。见,例如,世界知识产权组织国际公开号WO 91/1677,题目为“具有完整显示运动跟踪的便携式图形显示”,发明人DeLuca等,公开于1991/10/31。此外,已知具有触摸屏的可便携收发信机。见,例如,U.S.专利号4,916,441,题目为“可便携手持式终端”,于1990/4/10授权给Gombrich。进一步,运用GUI触敏技术的双向确认-返回寻呼机,在U.S.专利号5,459,458中描述,题目为“用于通用数据终端的虚拟寻呼机”,于1995/10/17授权给Richardson等,并转让给本发明的受让人。
在便携计算机上的触摸垫是熟知的。例如,见U.S.专利号5,469,194,题目为“用于计算机系统的提供的不同输入设备方向的装置和方法”,于1995/12/21授权给Clark等。然而,在已知的便携计算机上的触摸垫安装在便携计算机外壳的与安装显示屏的相同一侧的表面上,从而显示屏和触摸垫对用户都是可见的。而且,在便携计算机上,触摸垫连到显示屏上以便在触摸垫上从左到右的运动对应于显示屏上相同方向的运动。某些触摸垫被分开,从相关联的显示屏上分离。然而,不管是已知的被分离的触摸垫,还是已知的固定到具有显示器的设备上的触摸垫,都没有用于恢复沿触摸垫的某个轴运动所产生的影响的装备。而且,在已知的便携式计算机上,触摸垫和显示屏大小不同,从而,不利的是,在触摸垫上的运动与在显示屏上的运动比例不同。
这样,需要的是一个具有显示屏(或显示器)和一个触摸垫的选择性呼叫无线设备,用于有效控制出现在显示器上的类似光标的对象的运动。
发明内容
本发明提出了一种具有显示屏(或显示器)的触摸垫的选择性呼叫无线设备,用于有效控制出现在显示器上的指针,或类似光标的对象的运动。该选择性呼叫无线设备包括外壳,显示器,触摸垫和控制器。外壳包括第一表面和第二表面,第一表面与第二表面基本平行。显示器安装在外壳的第一表面。触摸垫安装在外壳的第二表面,其中显示器的尺寸与触摸垫的尺寸基本相同,并且触摸垫直接与显示器相对安装。通过一个用于互连的装置将触摸垫、显示器和控制器连在一起,并组成一个能在触摸垫上产生在显示器上的相应点的镜像映射的系统。
总之,选择性呼叫无线设备的外壳具有在大小和形状上与显示器相匹配并安装在与显示器直接相对的外壳表面的触摸垫。这种相同尺寸的触摸垫直接与显示器相对的放置的结果是显示器和触摸垫给用户的感觉象是一个单个单元。优点是,当用户滑动指尖穿过叠置的触摸垫时,给用户的感觉象是用户的指尖在触摸和滑动穿过显示器自身的背面。

具体实施方式
图1是包含一个选择性呼叫无线设备外壳12的选择性呼叫无线设备10的前视图。外壳12有第一表面14,即前面,第二表面16,即后面面板,如图2中所示。第一表面和第二表面分别在外壳的相对两侧。
电池供电的便携式选择性呼叫无线设备10,例如,一个单向寻呼机或一个双向寻呼机,工作时经天线接收射频信号。选择性呼叫无线设备10包括一个把接收的信号连到解调器的接收机,解调器使用传统技术恢复任何包含的信息。被恢复的消息连到能对被恢复信息解释并解码的控制器。控制器典型地包含一个具有既可硬件又可软件实现的信号处理器(解码器)的微处理器。以本技术中熟知的方式,被恢复的信息被解码器检查,这实现了一个能把被恢复地址与在选择性呼叫无线设备的非易失性存储器中存储的预定地址相关的信号处理器。非易失性存储器典型地有多个用于存储多个标志选择性呼叫无线设备的操作的配置字的寄存器。选择性呼叫无线设备通过在与选择性呼叫无线设备相关联的预定地址和接收的地址之间执行一个相关来选择消息。当地址相关时,控制器把消息信息送到消息存储器。选择性呼叫无线设备包括一个安装到选择性呼叫无线设备外壳12的第一表面14的显示器18。作为对恢复信息和与用户控制相关的设置的响应,选择性呼叫无线设备包括一种用于产生能在显示器18上表示的代表消息信息的图象的装置,和用于经由一个可听或有触感的警示通知用户已接收到一个消息的装置。显示器18最好包含一个1/8标准视频图形阵列(VGA)分辨率的液晶显示(LCD)屏。存在非易失性存储器中并由微处理器执行的软件,在显示器18上产生一个图形化的用户界面20(GUI)。
现在参考图2,遵照本发明,选择性呼叫无线设备10包括一个安装在选择性呼叫无线设备外壳12的第二个表面16的触摸垫22。不象已知的具有触摸屏的选择性呼叫无线设备由于频繁触摸容易变脏和有油,遵照本发明的选择性呼叫无线设备10的显示器18由于触摸的是一个触摸垫22而不是一个屏幕,所以不容易变脏和有油。现在参考图1和图2,显示器18有多个边缘11,13,15和17,触摸垫有相同数量的对应边缘21,23,25和27,并且显示器的多个边缘的每一个都与触摸垫的相应边缘的每一个平行。
触摸垫22,显示器18和控制器(未表示)通过一个用于互联的装置连在一起,并组成一个能在触摸垫上产生在显示器上的相应点的镜像映射的系统。比较图1所示的显示器18和图2所示的触摸垫22表示了镜像映射。作为镜像映射的结果,在触摸垫上从左到右的触摸运动在显示器上产生了一个从右向左的GUI的指针的运动。图1示意说明了一个菜单条24,并且指针26正指在显示器左侧的标题“消息”28上。图2表示一个由在相反侧,触摸垫的右侧上的一个“×”指示的,对应于正指向字“消息”的指针的位置30。这种映射,遵照本发明,区别于以原有技术方式(即在设备的相同侧安装一个触摸垫作为相关显示)安装的触摸垫上的点的映射。这种新颖的在触摸垫上点的映射最好通过使用硬件改变在触摸垫和显示器之间的连接来实现;另外地,该映射可通过使用存在非易失性存储器或固件中的软件单元,由微处理器执行来实现。由于在已有技术中,触摸垫已作为相关显示安装在设备的相同一侧,所以显示器和触摸垫对用户是同时可视的。然而,遵照本发明的安装到选择性呼叫无线设备外壳的触摸垫,在用户正查看显示器的相同时刻对用户是不可视的,该特性提供了如下面将描述的未预见到的好处。
图3,与图4一起,表示触摸垫22和显示器18相对于触摸垫的轴和显示器的相关轴的镜像映射的另一个例子。在优选实施例中,沿基本上矩形的触摸垫和显示器的纵轴的坐标分量是反转的。结果,在触摸垫上沿纵轴的触摸运动分量产生在显示器上沿显示器纵轴但是相反方向的指针的运动分量。图3表示出现在显示器右侧的目录“电源”36下面的下拉菜单34的字“设置”32处的指针26。图4表示由在触摸垫的左侧的一个“×”指示,并与正指向字“设置”的指针对应的位置38。应该理解图1-4所示的简化的GUI是只为示意目的。遵照本发明的选择性呼叫无线设备10另外使用一个具有图标(包括起动图标)的更复杂的GUI。
现在参考图3和4,显示器18包含一个长39宽41的矩形的基本平坦的屏幕表面35,触摸垫包含具有相同长度39和相同宽度41的矩形的基本平坦的触摸表面37。在具有显示器和触摸垫的已知设备中,触摸垫基本上比屏幕小,并且依次需要一些硬件和软件装置使触摸垫上的较短运动与显示器的较长运动成比例。另一方面,遵照本发明的选择性呼叫无线设备有利地不需要任何在显示器和触摸垫之间使运动成比例的装置,因为他们具有相同的尺寸。更进一步,遵照本发明,显示器18和触摸垫22分别安装在外壳12的相对表面14和16上。最佳地,显示器和触摸垫直接互相相对安装。如图5所示,选择性呼叫无线设备外壳12包含与第一和第二表面相邻的至少一个附加表面40。再参考图3和4,显示器和触摸垫都安装到外壳上以便触摸垫的边缘45和至少一个附加表面40之间的距离43基本上与显示屏的相应边缘49和至少一个附加表面40之间的距离47相等。类似地,触摸垫和显示器安装到外壳上以便触摸垫的另一个边缘53和至少一个附加表面40的另一个表面55之间的另一个距离51基本上与显示屏的相应边缘59和至少一个附加表面40的另一个表面55之间的距离57相等。不象已知的具有用于触摸垫的构造,并且触摸垫和显示器互相相邻的外壳,遵照本发明的外壳有利地具有与显示器叠置的触摸垫。
现在参考图5,用户在GUI之内浏览,包括通过使用触摸垫22选择性地查看显示器18上的消息。控制GUI上的指针的触摸垫22的操作为本领域的普通技术人员所熟知。一般来讲,触摸垫是包含小的平坦的表面,指尖可在该表面上滑动。触摸垫典型地使用被称为耦合电容的原理,并需要如指尖的传导指针。触摸垫含有两层格状的电极,这些电极与安装在触摸垫下的集成电路(IC)相连。上面的一层包含垂直电极条,下面的一层由水平电极条组成。IC测量每个水平电极至每个垂直电极的电容。因为指尖具有不同于空气的介电性能,因此在两个电极相交地方附近的指尖修改电极间的电容。根据在不同点上的变化,可以精确确定指尖的位置。图5和6表示,在剖视图中,手持选择性呼叫无线设备并遵照本发明操作触摸垫的用户的一只手46。通常,用户的指尖42与触摸垫22接触放置,将产生与接触点44的笛卡尔坐标对应的信号。在图5中,例如,用户的指尖在菜单条24中的字“消息”28的下面,遵照本发明,指针26,在本例中是一个手图标,出现在字“消息”上。本发明不需要单独指针,例如手图标的出现;相反地,字“消息”以任何其它方式例如高亮显示,例如,以反亮度显示,当用户的指尖直接在字“消息”下的点44接触触摸垫。信号的值根据指尖42滑动到的坐标的变化,或者另外直接指在触摸垫22上的另一个点48(见图6),而变化。在图6中,用户的指尖42在外壳后面的触摸垫上的点48,该点与下拉菜单的字“选择”52附近的外壳的前面的显示器上的点50直接相反。随着指针的移动,当指针位于字或图标附近的一个预定的区域时,字或图标被典型地高亮。在图6中,例如,字“选择”52以高亮显示。最佳地,触摸垫直接与显示器叠置,如箭头60,61和62,即分别指向显示器和触摸垫的匹配角的每个箭头的双向箭头指示。
再参考图1,选择性呼叫无线设备在外壳12上包括一个用户可与触摸垫22配合使用的按钮54。按钮54被用于起动由指针位于的一个字或图标代表的操作。另外地,按钮54也充当一个“开”开关,并且选择性呼叫无线设备10在一段预定的不活跃周期之后自动关闭。
总之,显示了一个选择性呼叫无线设备外壳,具有一个在大小和形状上与显示器匹配并安装在与显示器直接相对的外壳表面的触摸垫。这种相同尺寸的触摸垫直接与显示器相对的放置具有未预料的结果是:显示器和触摸垫给用户的感觉象是一个单个单元。有利的是,当用户滑动指尖穿过叠置的触摸垫时,给用户一种未预料的感觉,象是用户的指尖在触摸和滑动穿过显示器自身的背面。
尽管已给出本发明的优选实施例的详细描述,应该理解在不偏离在附后的权利要求中提出的本发明的范围时,该发明可以在许多实施例中实现,其中公布的实施例只是一个替代。例如,在优选实施例中,显示的外壳,显示器和触摸垫是矩形的,然而,可以预见它们可以是任意形状的。作为应该特定的替代例子,外壳可以是球形的,屏幕表面和触摸表面可以是圆形的,用户互联的装置可以运用球坐标,并且这只需一个附加表面40,其形状可以是圆柱的。
