The present invention relates to a method for implementing a user interface using a skin-type interface and a touch screen device for implementing the same.

In general, when a person's hand or an object touches a character or a specific position output on the touch screen, the touch screen device detects the position and performs a predetermined specific process (for example, calling a corresponding software). .

In a user interface (UI) implemented on such a touch screen device, a keypad, buttons, icons, and the like for user input are generally disposed on a desktop that is basically output on the touch screen. Therefore, when the user touches a specific position on the touch screen screen, the touched area or object is identified, and the identification value is transmitted to the controller or processing unit in the touch screen device to execute the corresponding process.

However, according to the user interface method of the touch screen device, since the interface is implemented only within the area of the screen, its operation and use range is limited, and the position of each object on the interface is also fixed, thereby providing a more diverse interface. .

In order to overcome this limitation, Korean Patent No. 1021757 shows a curved slide bar having a predetermined length on the screen of the touch screen, and touch to perform a corresponding control when a drag is made along the slide bar. A screen interface control device is proposed.

By the way, the touch screen interface control device performs at least one of a sound-related control or a playback-related control operation of a multimedia file as the slide bar is dragged.

Accordingly, there is a need for an implementation of a user interface that can be used in a touch screen device in an extensive manner and a user interface that can be easily manipulated to conveniently select a plurality of objects supported on the touch screen device.

An embodiment of the present invention to provide a user interface implementation method using a skin-type interface having an extended interface screen utilization in the implementation of the user interface of the touch screen device and a touch screen device implementing the same.

As a technical means for achieving the above-described technical problem, a touch screen device for implementing a user interface using a skin type interface according to an aspect of the present invention, the skin type interface screen movable on a fixed basic interface screen of the touch screen A display unit which outputs the overlap; An input generation detector configured to detect a touch and dragging generated on the touch screen and generate a screen operation input value according to the touch and dragging; The skin type interface screen is controlled to be moved according to the direction and distance of the dragging based on the screen operation input value, and an area of at least one pointer object configured on the skin type interface screen and the basic interface according to the movement. A skin type interface controller which determines whether overlapping occurs between regions of the selection target object configured on the screen; And a selection object execution unit that selects a selection target object corresponding to the overlap as an activation target object when the overlap occurs.

In addition, the user interface implementation method using a skin type interface according to another aspect of the present invention, the step of overlapping and outputting the fixed interface screen and the movable skin type interface screen on the touch screen; Detecting contact and dragging occurring on the touch screen; Moving the skin type interface screen according to the direction and distance of the dragging; Determining whether an overlap occurs between an area of at least one pointer object configured on the skin type interface screen and an area of a selection target object configured on a basic interface screen; And when the overlap occurs, selecting the selection target object corresponding to the generated overlap as the activation target object.

According to any one of the above-described problem solving means of the present invention, by overlaying a fixed base interface screen and a movable skin type interface screen on the touch screen device, a pointer object configured on the skin type interface screen on the base interface screen You can select the selected target object configured in.

Accordingly, when the selection target object is selected by direct touch on the user interface of the conventional touch screen device, there is a limit to the range that can be touched. However, when using the skin type interface as in the present invention, a specific portion ( That is, if only a pointer object) matches at least a portion of the object to be selected, a selection occurs, so that the user can drag on the touch screen, and the user can provide convenience in inputting information on the touch screen. Typing mistakes can also be reduced.

In other words, when providing detailed information such as a map service, a user can select or activate a corresponding location without directly touching a finger or an input device to a location of a map that the user wants to check, thereby enabling precise work.

According to one of the problem solving means of the present invention, the object to be selected can be selected by operating a skin type interface screen having an area larger than that of the basic interface screen, so that the user touches when dragging the touch screen. Successive dragging allows selection of objects to be selected without taking your hands off the screen. That is, it is convenient to provide various services such as inputting text on the touch screen or checking information on an object to be activated.

According to one of the problem solving means of the present invention, a plurality of pointer objects on a skin-type interface screen are classified into a plurality of groups, the property of the pointer objects belonging to each group is set identically, and then a pointer object of a specific group is provided. By setting it as a pointer object for selection, security can be improved when using a touch screen device.

That is, when using a skin interface composed of pointer objects arranged in a grid, selection of the object to be selected is performed by a predetermined group of pointer objects while all of the grid-type pointer objects move simultaneously. The practicality is that this selected object cannot be recognized.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In the drawings, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted in order to clearly describe the present invention, and like reference numerals designate like parts throughout the specification.

Throughout the specification, when a part is said to "include" a certain component, it means that it can further include other components, without excluding other components unless specifically stated otherwise.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a structure of a touch screen device implementing a user interface using a skin type interface according to an embodiment of the present invention.

At this time, in an embodiment of the present invention, it will be described as an example that the touch screen device 100 is a portable communication device (for example, a smart phone).

For reference, FIG. 1 illustrates components for implementing a user interface using a skin-type interface according to an embodiment of the present invention, but other processing units (not shown) are further included according to the type of the touch screen device 100. May be included.

In addition, the touch screen device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be various types of devices, not limited to a portable communication device, and may further include different processing units according to the type and purpose of each device. For example, when the touch screen device 100 is an ATM device used in a bank, a communication module connected to a bank computer, a computer processing unit that performs banking operation for each account, and a user may process information for processing a banking service. It may be configured to further include a plurality of processing units, such as a user interface module for receiving input or output the banking business processing results.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the touch screen device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment may include an input generation detector 110, a skin type interface controller 120, a display 130, and a selection object execution unit ( 140).

The display unit 130 outputs a basic interface screen and a skin type interface screen on the screen of the touch screen device 100.

At this time, the display unit 130 moves the skin type interface screen or outputs a screen according to data processing generated by the touch screen device 100 under the control of the skin type interface controller 120.

Meanwhile, the basic interface screen and the skin type interface screen output on the screen of the touch screen device 100 may be implemented as shown in FIG. 2.

2 is an example for describing a touch screen screen according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Specifically, as shown in (a) of FIG. 2, on the touch screen device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, a fixed basic interface screen P210 having the same size as the touch screen screen is output. In this case, a plurality of objects (hereinafter, referred to as a “selection target object”) P211 that the user can select are configured on the basic interface screen P210. For reference, the object to be selected refers to an object configured to perform a predetermined process on a predetermined software such as an icon of an application running on a smartphone or an operating system (OS) provided in the touch screen device 100.

As illustrated in FIG. 2B, the skin type interface screen P220 is output on the touch screen device 100 according to the exemplary embodiment so as to overlap the basic interface screen P210. At this time, as shown in (b) of FIG. 2, the area of the skin type interface screen P220 may be set larger than the area of the basic interface screen P210, and the skin type interface screen may be reflected to the basic interface screen P210. The transparency of P220 is set. For reference, the size and color of the skin type interface screen P220 illustrated in FIG. 2B is only an example for distinguishing from the basic interface screen P210, but is not limited thereto. That is, the skin type interface screen P220 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be set equal to or larger than the area of the basic interface screen P210.

As such, the basic interface screen P210 and the skin type interface screen P220 illustrated in FIGS. 2A and 2B are overlapped and output on the touch screen screen. For reference, although not shown in FIG. 2, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 9, at least one pointer object is configured on the skin type interface screen P220 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 again, the input generation detecting unit 110 detects contact and dragging generated on the touch screen and generates a screen operation input value according to the contacting and dragging to generate the skin type interface controller 120. To pass. In practice, the contact and dragging generated on the touch screen are generated on the skinned interface screen P220.

The skin type interface controller 120 controls the skin type interface screen P220 to be moved according to the direction and distance of the dragging based on the screen operation input value, and the skin type interface screen P220 according to the movement. It is determined whether an overlap occurs within a predetermined reference distance between an area of at least one pointer object configured on the screen and an area of the at least one selection target object configured on the basic interface screen P210. In this case, the skin type interface controller 120 may determine whether overlapping occurs at least two or more selection target objects among the selection target objects. As such, when overlapping between two or more selection target objects and a pointer object occurs, it may be determined that the two or more selection target objects are selected. In addition, the skin type interface controller 120 transmits the result of the determination to the selection object execution unit 140. For reference, the reference distance may be a distance range preset in the outward direction based on the center of the object to be selected.

Movement of the skin type interface screen P220 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented as shown in FIG. 3.

3 is an example for explaining a movement of a skin-type interface screen and an object selection method through the same according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the pointer object P221 for selecting the selection target object P211 is configured on the skin type interface screen P220.

In this case, when the skin type interface controller 120 controls the movement of the skin type interface screen P220 based on the contact or dragging detected by the input generation detector 110, the skin type interface as shown in FIG. 3. The screen P220 moves in the direction of the arrow. Accordingly, the pointer object P221 configured on the skin type interface screen P220 also moves in the direction of the arrow. As shown in FIG. 3, as the pointer object P221 is moved, the pointer object P221 and the selection target object P211 overlap. In this case, the skin type interface controller 120 transmits overlapping occurrence information on the overlapped selection target object P211 to the selection object execution unit 140 according to a predetermined determination criterion. For reference, the skin type interface controller 120 does not generate another contact or dragging after the overlap between the at least one pointer object P221 and the selection target object P211 has elapsed until a preset overlap holding time elapses. Alternatively, when the pointer object P221 is continuously positioned within the reference distance, the overlap occurrence information may be transmitted. Meanwhile, in an embodiment of the present invention, at least one pointer object P221 is configured on the skin type interface screen P220, and at least one selection target object P211 is configured on the basic interface screen P210. It is shown, but the reverse configuration is also possible. That is, the selection target object P211 may be configured on the skin type interface screen P220, and the pointer object P221 may be configured on the basic interface screen P210. Therefore, as the skin type interface screen P220 moves, the selection target object P211 may also move to overlap with the pointer object P221 at a fixed position.

Hereinafter, the configuration of a skin type interface according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

4 is an example for explaining a configuration of a skin type interface screen according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the skin type interface screen P220 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be set to have a larger area than the basic interface screen P210.

Specifically, in FIG. 4A, the area of the skin type interface screen P220 is an upper, lower, left, right side as compared to the area of the basic interface screen P210 as an example of the area of the skin type interface screen P220. , And diagonally set twice as large. That is, the area of the skin type interface screen P220 may be set to 9 times or more of the area of the basic interface screen P210.

As such, when the skin type interface screen P220 has an area of 9 times or more than the basic interface screen P210, the user drags the skin type interface screen P220 on the touch screen as shown in FIG. ), Even when dragging from the end of one position on the touch screen to the end of another position, the skin type interface screen P220 is output without interruption, and thus the pointer objects P221 may be output without interruption. It is convenient.

In addition, in order to provide a seamless circulation of the skin type interface screen P220, the skin type interface control unit 120 processes the selection of the object to be selected, and then the skin type interface screen P220 returns to the default position before dragging. The movement can be controlled to return. For reference, the basic position may be set to a position where the center of the skin type interface screen P220 and the center of the basic interface screen P210 overlap. In this case, the skin type interface controller 120 may ignore the overlap between the pointer object P221 and the selection target object P211 generated while the skin type interface screen P220 is returned to the basic position.

5 is an example for describing the property of a pointer object according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 5, the basic interface screen P210 and the skin type interface screen P220 are overlapped and output on the touch screen. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the pointer objects P221 configured on the skin type interface screen P220 according to an embodiment of the present invention may have various properties, and are output on the screen according to the properties. do.

In detail, the pointer object P221 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of pointer objects P221 having at least one of a shape, a size, and a color, spaced apart from each other, and a plurality of pointer objects P221. ) May be set identically or differently. For reference, the shape may include a plurality of types of attributes such as figures, letters, and numbers.

For example, in FIG. 5A, one pointer object P221 is output in an arrow shape. In FIG. 5A, a plurality of pointer objects P221 have the same property (refer to FIG. 5A). (b) shows that a plurality of pointer objects have an attribute of 'circular' in the figure.

Meanwhile, in FIG. 5B, a pointer object P221 having various characters (the letter 'a' is illustrated as an example in FIG. 5B), a color, and a figure is illustrated, and the pointer object P221 has the same or different attributes. Touch screen screens are shown as an example. For reference, the skin type interface controller 120 may set (or select) a specific property among a plurality of properties applied for each of the plurality of pointer objects P221 configured on the skin type interface screen P220. The pointer object P221 having the specific property is set as a valid pointer object P221 to determine the occurrence of overlap with the selection target object P211, but the pointer object P221 having the other properties and the selection target object have different properties. The occurrence of overlap between (P211) can be ignored.

1 again, when the selection object execution unit 140 receives overlapping generation information on the selection target object P211 from the skin type interface controller 120, the selection object executing unit 140 activates the selection target object P211 corresponding to the overlap. Select as target object.

In this case, after receiving the overlapping occurrence information, the selection object execution unit 140 generates at least one of contact termination and dragging stop on the touch screen, and selects a corresponding operation after a preset operation holding time elapses after the contact termination and dragging stop. The target object can be selected as the active target object.

For reference, the selection object executing unit 140 calls the processing unit (or software) that executes the selected object among the plurality of processing units (not shown) included in the touch screen device 100 by executing the activation object. Can be activated.

Meanwhile, while the skinned interface control unit 120 and the selection object execution unit 140 determine the occurrence of overlap or select the activation target object, the skin type interface control unit 120 determines that the overlapping selection target object is generated. The output state can be controlled to change to standby for activation. For reference, in the activation standby state, the selection target object is changed on the basic interface screen so as to be identified with the general state before the overlap occurs. That is, it is convenient for the user to easily determine on the screen the selection target object waiting to be activated from among the selection target objects.

Hereinafter, the object selection method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 6.

6 is a view for explaining an object selection method using a skin-type interface according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Specifically, in (a) of FIG. 6, a plurality of pointer objects P221 are configured at regular intervals on the skin type interface screen P220 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and are located from the center of the basic interface screen P210. It is shown that the selection target objects P211 are configured at each diagonal end.

In this case, when one dragging occurs in the direction of the arrow as shown in FIG. 6B, the selection object (ie, '2') P211 located on the upper right side of the touch screen and the pointer object P221 overlap each other. This happens. At this time, the skin type interface controller 120 determines the occurrence of the overlap, and the selection object execution unit 140 selects the corresponding selection target object P211 on which the overlap has occurred as the first activation target object.

Then, when the second dragging occurs in the same direction, as shown in (c) of FIG. 6, overlapping with respect to the selection target object located at the upper right ends, and the selection target object located at the lower left (ie, '3' The overlap between P211 and the pointer object P221 occurs. At this time, the skin type interface controller 120 determines the occurrence of the overlap, and the selection object execution unit 140 selects the corresponding selection target object on which the overlap has occurred as the second activation target object.

As such, the user can select the object to be selected by successive dragging without taking his or her hand off the touch screen. That is, according to such an embodiment, it is convenient to provide various services such as text input on a touch screen or confirmation of information on an object to be activated. In addition, according to such an embodiment, by using a pointer object spaced a certain distance on the touch screen can be quickly selected by using a pointer object of a close position to each of the selection target objects of different positions, the input speed is increased There is. In addition, when providing detailed information such as a map service, a user may select or activate a corresponding location without directly touching a finger or an input device to a location of a map that the user wants to check, thereby enabling accurate work.

On the other hand, according to the user interface implementation method using the skin-type interface according to an embodiment of the present invention, since a specific location area according to the movement of the skin-type interface screen is determined as an input without the user directly touching the selection target object, Even if someone is looking at the touch screen device 100, it is difficult to know which part is selected. Therefore, the present invention can be used for an interface in which security is important in user input such as a security keypad.

Hereinafter, a user interface implementation method using a pointer object and a skin type interface according to another embodiment of the present invention, which can improve the security of data input using the skin type interface, will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9. do.

7 to 9 are examples for explaining a pointer object operating method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

First, as illustrated in FIG. 7, pointer objects P221 arranged in a grid form may be configured on at least a portion of the skin type interface screen P220 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In this case, the skin type interface controller 120 may classify the plurality of pointer objects P211 arranged in the grid into a plurality of groups, and set the same property of the pointer objects for each group.

Meanwhile, the skin type interface controller 120 may select a selection pointer object (that is, a pointer object for generating a valid selection) before determining the overlap between the pointer object P221 and the selection target object P211. It can provide a property determination interface for a selection pointer object. For reference, the attribute determination interface may include and output attribute information for each pointer object group.

Thereafter, the skin type interface controller 120 may set a specific pointer group among the plurality of pointer groups as the selection pointer group based on the selection object attribute determination information input through the attribute determination interface.

 Thereafter, the skin type interface controller 120 determines occurrence of overlap between the area of the pointer object included in the selection pointer group and the area of the selection target object.

In FIG. 7, the selection target objects P211 for inputting characters are output on the basic interface screen P210. The pointer objects arranged in a grid form with the character keys P211 on the basic interface screen P210 are illustrated. (P221) has been overlapped with the output. For reference, the plurality of pointer objects P221 illustrated in FIG. 7 have a plurality of colors as attributes and are set to the same attributes for each group.

In this case, the selection target object P211 overlapping at least one of the pointer objects P221 having the color selected by the user as an attribute in advance may be selected as the activation target object.

For reference, FIG. 7 shows that the grid type pointer screen P221 is moved by moving the skin type interface screen P220 from side to side.

Meanwhile, FIG. 8 illustrates another example of a skin type interface screen including pointer objects P221 arranged in a grid.

FIG. 8A illustrates pointer objects P221 configured to cause the skinned interface screen P220 to move up and down to generate an overlap. In FIG. 8B, the skinned interface screen P220 is illustrated in FIG. The pointer objects P221 configured to move up, down, left, and right to generate an overlap are illustrated. As such, the skin type interface screen P220 according to an embodiment of the present invention may move in all directions of up, down, left and right.

In addition, FIG. 9 illustrates a skin type interface screen P220 including pointer objects P221 arranged in a partial grid.

As such, by classifying a plurality of pointer objects into a plurality of groups, setting the properties of the pointer objects belonging to each group to the same, and setting the pointer objects of a specific group as the pointer objects for selection, when using the touch screen device 100. It can increase security.

That is, when using a skin interface composed of pointer objects arranged in a grid, selection of the object to be selected is performed by a predetermined group of pointer objects while all of the grid-type pointer objects move simultaneously. The selected object is not recognizable.

For reference, the skin type interface controller 120 may maintain the state of the selection target object in the general state when implementing an interface using pointer objects classified into a plurality of groups.

Hereinafter, a user interface implementation method using a skin type interface according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 10.

10 is a flowchart illustrating a method of implementing a user interface using a skin-type interface according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, in a state in which the basic interface screen and the skin type interface screen are overlapped and output on the touch screen, the touch and drag generated on the touch screen are sensed (S110).

In operation S120, the skin type interface is moved according to the drag direction (and distance) based on the detected contact and drag.

 Then, the overlap between the point area and the selection target object area is detected (S130).

Specifically, the overlap is detected by determining whether overlap occurs within a predetermined reference distance between an area of at least one pointer object configured on the skin type interface screen and an area of at least one selected target object configured on the basic interface screen.

When the overlap is detected, the state of the selection target object in which the overlap is generated may be controlled to be changed to an activation standby state, and in the activation standby state, the general selection before the overlap occurs in the selection target object may be performed. The status is changed on the basic interface screen so as to be identified.

Then, the overlap occurrence object is selected as the activation target object (S140).

In this case, after the occurrence of the overlap, the selection may be performed when a predetermined operation holding time elapses after at least one of the termination of the contact and the stopping of the dragging occurs.

In addition, when implementing the user interface using the skin type interface according to an embodiment of the present invention, after step S140, the step of returning the skin type interface screen to the basic position before the dragging may be further performed. For reference, the basic position may be a position where the center of the skin type interface screen overlaps with the center of the basic interface screen.

Meanwhile, when implementing a user interface using a skin type interface according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a skin type interface including pointer objects arranged in a grid form in at least a portion of the skin type interface screen in step S110 may be used. You can print the screen. In this case, the pointer objects arranged in a grid form are classified into a plurality of pointer groups each composed of at least one pointer object, and the attributes of the pointer objects included for each pointer group are set in the same state.

As described above, after outputting the skin type interface screen including the pointer objects arranged in a grid form, the user selects object property determination information for selection from the user before step S130, and then selects a specific pointer group among the plurality of pointer groups. Set to the selection pointer group.

In operation S140, the occurrence of the overlap may be determined between the area of the pointer object included in the selection pointer group and the area of the selection target object.

In the activation standby state, the selection target object is changed on the basic interface screen to be identified with the general state before the overlap occurs. The method of claim 1,
The skin type interface control unit,
After selecting the activation target object, the touch screen device for returning the skin-like interface screen to the default position before the dragging. The method of claim 5, wherein
The default position is,
The center of the skin-type interface screen and the center of the basic interface screen is a position that overlaps, the touch screen device. The method of claim 1,
The area of the skin type interface screen is
The touch screen device is set to be larger than the basic interface screen in the up, down, left, right, and diagonal directions of the basic interface screen, but more than nine times the area of the basic interface screen. The method of claim 1,
The skin type interface screen,
Pointer objects arranged in a grid form are formed in at least a portion of the skin type interface screen.
The pointer objects arranged in the grid form are classified into a plurality of pointer groups each composed of at least one pointer object.
The property of the pointer objects included for each pointer group is the same. delete In the user interface implementation method using a skin-type interface,
(a) overlapping and outputting a fixed basic interface screen and a movable skin type interface screen on the touch screen;
(b) detecting contact and dragging occurring on the touch screen;
(c) moving the skin type interface screen according to the direction and distance of the dragging;
determining whether an overlap occurs between an area of at least one pointer object configured on the skin-type interface screen and an area of a selection target object configured on a basic interface screen; And
(e) if the overlap occurs, selecting a selection target object corresponding to the generated overlap as an activation target object,
Prior to step (d)
Setting a pointer object having a specific property among the pointer objects as a selection pointer object based on previously inputted selection pointer object attribute determination information;
In the step (d)
Determining the occurrence of the overlap between the area of the selection pointer object and the area of the selection target object;
The area of the skin type interface screen is set to be larger than the area of the basic interface screen, user interface implementation method using a skin type interface. 11. The method of claim 10,
In the step (e)
And performing a selection when a predetermined operation holding time elapses after at least one of the termination of the contact and the stopping of the dragging occurs after the occurrence of the overlap. 11. The method of claim 10,
In the step (d)
And determining that the pointer object is overlapped within a predetermined reference distance based on the selection target object. 11. The method of claim 10,
