Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a method of executing a mouse interface on a touch screen of a portable terminal and an apparatus for performing the same.
Recently, portable terminals provide various functions and services (eg, online games, chatting, photographing, and multimedia data transmission) to meet user needs. However, it is difficult to support the functions of the mobile terminal, which are diversified only by the general user interface device based on the keypad. That is, the keypad-based user interface device has a low user convenience due to a complicated user interface structure. In addition, the keypad-based user interface device is difficult to overcome the spatial constraints of the increasingly compact portable terminal.
On the other hand, in the case of a touch type user interface (eg, Touch Screen, Touch Pad, etc.) that generates an input signal by touching a point on the screen, the cost is reduced and the space of the mobile terminal is reduced. It has the advantage of minimizing the constraints and improving the user interface.
Therefore, a large number of mobile terminals produced in the future are expected to adopt the touch type user interface.
The touch-type user interface includes a position sensor that outputs coordinate values of a contact surface when a point on the screen is pressed, wherein the position sensor includes a pressure-sensitive resistive film, a capacitive touch panel, and a surface acoustic wave (Surface Acoustic Wave). Techniques such as SAW) and infrared methods are applied.
As described above, in a mobile terminal employing a touch type user interface, a user touches the touch screen using a finger or the like to select a menu or input data. However, since the area of the touch screen is limited, when displaying a large number of touch keys according to a predetermined application, the area of the touch key becomes very small. In this case, it is not easy for the user to touch the touch key accurately. In addition, certain applications may require fine touch. Even in this case, it is not easy for the user to make fine touches using his or her finger.
An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a method for executing a mouse interface on the touch screen of the portable terminal to enable a fine touch input and an apparatus for performing the same.
A portable terminal according to an aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, when the touch screen and the mouse interface is executed, the area of the touch screen is divided into a display area and a touch area, the touch area is a touch pad mouse area And a controller configured to display a mouse pointer on the display area, and to move the mouse pointer according to the touch input when there is a touch input in the touch area.
Herein, the controller may display a right button and a left button of the mouse on the touch area, and when one of the right button and the left button of the mouse is selected, the controller may perform an operation according to the selected mouse button.
Herein, the controller may display a scroll bar on the touch area, and when the scroll bar is touched by the user, perform the operation according to the touch of the scroll bar.
The control unit may display the touch area as a touch pad mouse area by processing the touch area in a different color or translucent from the display area.
Herein, the controller may display an indicator corresponding to a mouse interface in an area of the touch screen, and switch to another touch interface when the indicator is touched by a user.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a method of executing a mouse interface in a mobile terminal including a touch screen includes: dividing an area of the touch screen into a display area and a touch area when a mouse interface is executed; And indicating that the touch area is a touch pad mouse area, displaying a mouse pointer on the display area, and moving a mouse pointer according to the touch input when there is a touch input in the touch area. .
The method of executing the mouse interface may further include displaying a right button and a left button of a mouse on the touch area, and performing an operation according to the selected mouse button when one of the right and left buttons of the mouse is selected. It may include.
The method of executing a mouse interface may further include displaying a scroll bar on the touch area, and performing an operation according to the touch of the scroll bar when the scroll bar is touched by a user.
The displaying of the touch area as the touch pad mouse area may include processing the touch area in a different color or translucent than the display area.
The method of executing a mouse interface may further include displaying an indicator corresponding to a mouse interface in an area of the touch screen, and switching to another touch interface when the indicator is touched by a user.
The portable terminal according to the present invention as described above has an advantage of enabling fine touch input according to the mouse pointer by performing a mouse interface through the touch screen.
