Detailed Description
Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Advantages and features of the invention will become more apparent from the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and are all to a non-precise scale, merely for convenience and clarity in aiding in the description of embodiments of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a touch method according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 3A to 3D are schematic diagrams illustrating operations of the electronic device corresponding to the touch method of fig. 2. In one embodiment, the electronic device 10 may be a notebook computer, but is not limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 1, the electronic device 10 includes a touch pad 12, a screen 14 and a control unit 16. The touch pad 12 has a plurality of operation functions. Regarding these operation functions, in addition to the original setting functions of the touch pad, such as cursor movement and click selection, in one embodiment, the operation functions may further include right-click menu (right), scroll, zoom, drag (drag), and the like. In one embodiment, the touch pad 12 is a touch pad supporting multi-touch to support the above operation functions.
The control unit 16 is electrically connected to the touch pad 12 and the screen 14 to control the touch pad 12 and the screen 14. In one embodiment, the control unit 16 may include a touch control chip, a screen control chip and a central processing unit, where the central processing unit receives the touch data from the touch pad 12 through the touch control chip for processing, and controls the screen 14 for displaying through the screen control chip. But is not limited thereto.
Referring to fig. 2, the touch method provided by the present invention includes the following steps.
In step S120, an input gesture is received by the touch pad 12.
Subsequently, in step S130, it is determined whether the input gesture received by the touch pad 12 meets a preset gesture command. In one embodiment, the predetermined gesture command is a non-dominant hand gesture command. Taking the left hand as the non-dominant hand as an example, in one embodiment, the non-dominant hand gesture command may be a gesture command sensed by the left region of the touch pad 12.
In one embodiment, the non-dominant hand gesture command may be a right swipe or an up swipe gesture command. Step S120 may be performed by the control unit 16 in fig. 1.
In step S140, if the input gesture received by the touch pad 12 does not conform to the preset gesture command, the original setting of the touch pad 12 is maintained. In one embodiment, the original setting of the touch pad 12 may be to define the touch pad 12 as a single complete touch area, and the operation functions that the touch pad 12 can perform are limited to cursor movement and clicking selected operation functions. But is not limited thereto. Step S140 may be performed by the control unit 16 in fig. 2.
In step S150, if the input gesture received by the touch pad 12 meets the preset gesture command, a non-dominant hand operation area and a dominant hand operation area are defined on the touch pad. Referring to fig. 3A, the area below the touch pad 12 in the left side of the drawing is a non-dominant hand operation area A1, and the other areas are dominant hand operation areas A2.
In one embodiment, in order to avoid that the non-dominant hand operation area A1 affects the operation of the dominant hand operation area A2, the range of the non-dominant hand operation area A1 is smaller than that of the dominant hand operation area A2. In addition, in one embodiment, considering that the non-dominant hand of most users is left hand, the non-dominant hand operation area A1 is set on the left side of the touch pad 12. But is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the non-dominant hand operation area can be set on the right side of the touch pad by setting according to different operation habits of users. In addition, in one embodiment, the non-dominant hand operation area A1 can be disposed at the corner of the touch pad 12 to avoid affecting the operation of the dominant hand operation area A2. Step S150 may be performed by the control unit 16 in fig. 2.
Next, if the input gesture received by the touch pad 12 meets the preset gesture command, in step S160, after receiving a selection command from the non-dominant hand operation area A1, one of the operation functions is selected according to the selection command. I.e. selecting the operation function to be performed in the dominant hand operation area A2.
In an embodiment, referring to fig. 3B, if the touch method disclosed in the invention is to divide the non-dominant hand operation area A1 and the dominant hand operation area A2 on the touch pad 12, a function menu 142 is displayed by the control unit 16 using the screen 14 to display a plurality of operation functions for the user to select. The user can select an operation function to be executed in the dominant hand operation area A2 among the operation functions. For example, as shown in the figure, these alternative operation functions include right-click menu (right), scroll, zoom, and drag (drag), but are not limited thereto.
In one embodiment, when the function menu 142 is displayed on the screen 14, a sliding selection function can be performed in the non-dominant hand operation area A1, so as to facilitate the user to input a selection command. Referring to fig. 3C, in one embodiment, the function menu 142 is highlighted or otherwise marked with the operation function selected by the selection command. Step S160 may be performed by the control unit in fig. 2.
Subsequently, as shown in step S170, the operation function selected in step S160 is executed in the dominant hand operation area A2.
Next, in step S180, it is determined whether the touch signal is received by the non-dominant hand operation area A1. Referring to fig. 3D, if the touch signal is received by the non-conventional hand operation area A1, the process returns to step S170, and the operation function selected in step S160 is continuously executed in the conventional hand operation area A2. If the non-dominant hand operation area A1 does not receive the touch signal, the flow proceeds to step S190, and the selected operation function is stopped in the dominant hand operation area A2. In one embodiment, after the operation function selected by the user is stopped in the hand-using operation area A2, the touch pad 12 is switched to its original setting.
In the foregoing embodiment, whether the touch signal is received by the non-dominant hand operation area A1 is determined to determine whether the dominant hand operation area A2 continuously executes the selected operation function. In other words, after selecting the operation function to be executed by the dominant hand operation area A2, the selected operation function is continuously executed by the dominant hand operation area A2 as long as the user is judged to continuously touch the non-dominant hand operation area A1.
In one embodiment, the user may simply remove the non-dominant hand from the non-dominant hand operating region to stop performing the selected operating function in the dominant hand operating region A2. The invention is not so limited. The control of the operation function performed in the dominant hand operation area A2 may be to preset a start time, and automatically stop the operation function after the start time is over, or to control the dominant hand operation area A2 to stop performing the selected operation function by using a preset gesture of the non-dominant hand.
The electronic device 10 and the touch control method thereof provided by the invention can convert gesture operation on the touch control panel 12 into an operation mode similar to a mouse interface, are convenient for a user to learn and operate, and provide more comfortable operation and use experience for the user.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that the invention is not limited thereto, but rather may be modified or altered somewhat by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
