Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for moving a cursor using a touch pad,

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for moving a cursor by applying a drag signal to a touch pad, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for moving a cursor by applying a drag signal to a touch pad And more particularly to a method and apparatus for moving a cursor configured to be set.

Recently, in addition to the function of outputting only broadcast signals unlike the conventional TV, the TV has its own operating system, and is being replaced by a smart TV capable of performing various functions like Internet browsing, video call, to be. In such a smart TV, the input method is set so as to select a menu by moving the cursor. As a remote control used in a conventional general TV, various functions can not be controlled, and a function of a mouse and a keyboard A separate input device is required.

Accordingly, a remote controller for generating a cursor movement signal when a user applies a drag signal to a touch pad is recently developed and commercialized. At this time, since the size of the touch pad is limited, it is difficult to move the cursor at one time from one end to the other end of the display part. In order to solve this inconvenience, a method of accelerating the movement speed of the cursor according to the drag speed is currently utilized. That is, even if the same distance is dragged, the cursor movement is accelerated by increasing the drag speed, so that the cursor can be moved farther.

However, in such a case, it is difficult to precisely locate the cursor at the correct position because the cursor is too fast, and since the cursor can not be moved to the reference speed (the speed of movement of the cursor at the time of starting the first drag) There is a disadvantage that adjustment is limited.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a cursor moving method and a cursor moving apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a cursor moving method according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a cursor moving apparatus according to the present invention.

A cursor moving method according to the present invention relates to a signal input method for moving a mouse cursor (hereinafter abbreviated as a 'cursor 120') through a drag operation, and a moving acceleration rate of the cursor 120 according to a drag speed The movement distance of the cursor 120 is increased or decreased according to how fast the drag is performed even if the same distance is dragged. When the drag is continuously repeated two or more times, the end point of the first drag and the end point of the second drag The movement acceleration rate of the cursor 120 is differently applied according to the size of the time interval between start points (hereinafter, abbreviated as 'drag rest period'). That is, when the second drag is input when a certain amount of time elapses after the first drag is terminated, the movement acceleration rate of the cursor 120 is differently applied.

In order to implement the above cursor moving method, a cursor moving device having a function of detecting the above-mentioned drag pause device and a function of applying a different movement speed of the cursor 120 according to the drag pause device is required. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the cursor moving apparatus according to the present invention includes a drag signal input unit 200 for receiving a drag signal, a time stop unit for measuring a time between two drag signals, A controller 120 for outputting the movement signal of the cursor 120 according to a drag signal input through the drag signal input unit 200 and for increasing or decreasing the moving speed of the cursor 120 at a different rate according to the length of the drag pause 400). If the length of the drag rest period is within the set range, the controller 400 moves the cursor 120 in accordance with the first increase / decrease rate, and if the two consecutive drag signal intervals deviate from the preset range, The user can move the cursor 120 in accordance with a second rate of change that is different from the first rate of change of the rate of the first drag when the user has input a drag at the same distance and at the same rate, The moving speed and moving distance of the cursor 120 can be obtained in different sizes according to whether or not the secondary drag is started.

1, a first step S10 of inputting a first drag to the drag signal input unit 200 and a second step S10 of inputting a first drag to the drag signal input unit 200 as shown in FIG. (S20) for moving the cursor 120 output to the output unit 100 in accordance with a first rate of change assigned to the primary drag, and a second step S20 for, after the primary drag is terminated, A third step S30 in which a secondary drag is input to the controller 200 and a time duration of the drag stopper 300. The controller 400 determines whether the drag stopper is within a preset range, (Step S40), and if the drag pause is within the set range, the cursor 120 is moved in accordance with the second increase / decrease rate assigned to the secondary drag. If the drag pause is out of the set range If the first increase / decrease ratio is greater than the first increase / A fifth step for moving the unit 120 can be divided into (S50, S60).

In this case, since the drag pausing period that occurs when the user continuously drags two or more times is different depending on the individual difference of the user, the setting range of the drag pause period is preferably configured to be directly set by the user.

In addition, the first speed and the second speed mentioned above mean that the movement speed of the cursor 120 is different, and the second speed may be set to be faster than the first speed, It may be set to be slower than the speed. In the embodiment of the cursor moving method according to the present invention, the second speed is set to be faster than the first speed, but the first speed and the second speed can be freely changed according to various conditions.

Hereinafter, use examples of the cursor moving method according to the present invention will be described in detail.

FIGS. 3 to 6 are examples of use of the cursor moving process according to the present invention.

The cursor moving method according to the present invention has a basic requirement that the drag is repeatedly input over two or more times. First, as shown in FIG. 3, when a user drags a finger to the drag signal input unit 200 such as a touch pad The cursor 120 output to the output unit 100 moves along the drag direction applied by the user. Since the drag signal input unit 200 is very small in size compared to the output unit 100, when the cursor 120 is set to move only by the drag distance, the cursor 120 is moved from the left end to the right end of the output unit 100, It is necessary to repeat the dragging operation several times, so that the movement of the cursor 120 is inconvenient.

Therefore, when the drag is applied, the cursor 120 is moved by a distance corresponding to several times of the drag distance, and when the drag speed is increased, the speed of the cursor 120 becomes larger than the drag speed increase rate It is set to increase at a high rate of increase. The primary drag and the movement of the cursor 120 according to the present invention are substantially the same as the drag and cursor movement according to the conventional cursor moving method, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

3, when the cursor 120 is positioned at the lower left of the output unit 100 and the cursor 120 is positioned on the 'MOVIES' icon 110 located at the upper right of the output unit 100, It is necessary to input the upward direction drag to the signal input unit 200 and move the cursor 120 to the right. At this time, if the cursor 120 has not yet reached the 'MOVIES' icon 110 and the user's finger is positioned at the edge of the drag signal input unit 200, dragging can not be performed any more. The user must reset the finger to the initial position and then input the drag additionally. 4, if the moving condition when the secondary drag is input is set to be the same as the moving speed of the cursor 120 when the primary drag is input, that is, even if the dragging is shortly inputted to the drag signal input unit 200 If the cursor 120 of the output unit 100 is set to move quickly, the cursor 120 passes the 'MOVIES' icon 110 as shown in FIG. 5, It is inconvenient to input again the dragging in the opposite direction (left downward) in order to place it on the MOVIES 'icon 110. [ In particular, in the case of a user who is immature in inputting a drag signal, there is a problem in that it is difficult to accurately place the cursor 120 on the 'MOVIES' icon 110 even if dragging is repeated a plurality of times.

Of course, lowering the drag sensitivity so that the moving speed of the cursor 120 by dragging is lowered makes it easier to position the cursor 120 at a desired point. However, in order to move the cursor 120 farther, Inconvenience occurs.

The cursor moving method according to the present invention is configured such that the cursor 120 is moved at a different speed even if the same distance is dragged at the same distance so that the moving speed of the cursor 120 is increased The cursor 120 can be easily moved by reducing the moving speed of the cursor 120 when it is necessary to finely adjust the position of the cursor 120. In this case, .

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, if a second drag is input at a point of time longer than one second since the input of the first drag, the cursor 120 is moved quickly as shown in FIG. 5, The cursor 120 is slowly moved so that the cursor 120 is accurately moved to the target point (the 'MOVIES' icon 110 in this embodiment) as shown in FIG. 6 Can be set. If the cursor 120 is configured to be able to change the moving speed of the cursor 120 according to the variation of the drag pattern, the user can quickly move the cursor 120 until the cursor 120 reaches around the icon 110 to be selected, The cursor 120 can be moved slowly after the cursor 120 reaches the vicinity of the icon 110 to be selected so that the cursor 120 can be precisely moved. The advantage is that the operation becomes very convenient. Particularly, when the area of the output unit 100 is large and a large number of icons 110 are output, such as a smart TV, using the cursor moving method according to the present invention allows the user to select the desired icon 110 faster and more accurately Effect can be obtained.

In the present embodiment, only the case where the cursor 120 is moved slowly when the second drag is input after one second elapses after the first drag end time is set by setting the setting range of the drag pause is set to 1 second or more, May be set to less than 1 second, or may be set to a period having a lower limit and an upper limit such as " 1 second to less than 2 seconds ". As described above, the setting range of the drag pause period can be variously set according to various conditions such as the characteristics of the product and the use thereof, and a detailed description of the setting range of the drag pause period will be omitted.

In the present embodiment, only the case where the rate of increase or decrease of the movement speed of the cursor 120 is lowered when the secondary drag is inputted within the set range of the drag rest period is described. However, when the secondary drag is inputted within the set range of the drag rest period The cursor 120 can be set to move faster so that the rate of increase and decrease of the movement speed of the cursor 120 is rather high. (The first increase / decrease rate) of the cursor 120 and the second change rate (the second increase / decrease rate) of the cursor 120 when the secondary drag is inputted within the set range of the drag rest period The size can be freely set according to the characteristics and use of the product to which the cursor moving method according to the present invention is applied. However, in general, the operation of moving the cursor 120 by inputting the drag signal is widely used for selecting the specific icon 110 after moving the cursor 120, and the second increase / It is preferable to set it lower than the rate of increase / decrease.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is determined that the primary drag is terminated when the contact means (user's finger in the present embodiment) is separated from the drag signal input unit 200 after the primary drag is completed, but after the primary drag Even if the contact means is in contact with the drag signal input unit 200, it can be determined that the primary drag is finished when the contact means has stopped moving for a predetermined time or longer. If it is determined that the primary drag has been completed even when the contact means is in contact with the drag signal input unit 200, the user can stop the dragging operation by temporarily stopping the dragging, The movement speed of the cursor 120 can be freely increased or decreased, and the operation for moving the cursor 120 can be made simpler.

In addition, the rate of increase or decrease of the movement speed of the cursor 120 by dragging may be configured to be set differently depending on the position of the start point of the drag. For example, when the user desires to move the cursor 120 a long distance, the start point of the drag is set to the periphery of the drag signal input unit 200 so that the drag can be lengthened at a time, and the cursor 120 is slightly moved It is common to set the start point of the drag to be the central portion of the drag signal input unit 200 because there is no need to elongate the drag. Therefore, when the drag starts at the periphery of the drag signal input unit 200, the rate of increase and decrease of the movement speed of the cursor 120 is set to be high so that the cursor 120 is rapidly moved even if the drag is performed at the same speed. It is preferable that the rate of increase and decrease of the movement speed of the cursor 120 is set to be low so that the cursor 120 is slowly moved even if the cursor 120 is started at the center. Of course, contrary to the above-mentioned case, when the drag rate is high at the cursor 120 moving speed when the drag starts at the center of the drag signal input unit 200 and when the drag is started at the periphery of the drag signal input unit 200 The moving speed increase rate of the cursor 120 may be set to be low.

7 is a flowchart of a second embodiment of a cursor moving method according to the present invention.

The cursor moving method according to the present invention can also be applied to a case where a drag is applied three times or more.

That is, the cursor moving method according to the present invention includes a sixth step (S50, S60) in which the cursor 120 is moved according to the secondary drag input, a sixth step (Hereinafter, referred to as 'additional drag rest period') between the secondary drag end point and the tertiary drag start point, and the control unit 400 detects an additional drag rest period (S90) of determining whether the drag duration is within a preset range, and if the drag duration is within the preset range, moving the cursor 120 in accordance with a third rate of change assigned to the third drag, And an eighth step (S90, S100) of moving the cursor 120 in accordance with the second increase / decrease rate when the rest period is out of the setting range.

If the movement speed of the cursor 120 is set in accordance with another increment or decrement when the third drag is applied, the movement speed of the cursor 120 when the first drag is performed and the movement speed of the cursor 120 when the second drag is performed Since the movement speed of the cursor 120 and the movement speed of the cursor 120 when the third-order drag is performed can be set to be different from each other, the movement of the cursor 120 can be more finely divided and controlled. In this case, the process of setting the moving speed of the cursor 120 when the tertiary drag is applied is substantially the same as the process of setting the moving speed of the cursor 120 when the secondary drag is applied, Is omitted. Meanwhile, although only the case of performing the third-order drag is described in the present embodiment, the method of moving the cursor according to the present invention can be similarly applied to the case of performing the fourth-order or more-many-times dragging.

FIGS. 8 and 9 are illustrative examples showing a procedure of moving the cursor 120 according to the second embodiment of the cursor moving method according to the present invention.

When the cursor moving method according to the present invention is configured such that all the processes are finished after changing the moving speed of the cursor 120 by the secondary drag, in the state shown in FIG. 6, the moving speed of the cursor 120 is returned to the initial fast speed , A problem may occur that the cursor 120 can not be moved finely when the cursor 120 is moved in another direction in the state shown in FIG. However, if the cursor 120 is configured to move at a speed corresponding to the second rate of change or at a rate corresponding to the third rate of change according to the length of the additional drag pause when the third drag is applied, There is an advantage that the phenomenon of moving at an early speed can be prevented.

For example, when the third drag is performed in the state shown in FIG. 6 and the third drag is applied when the additional drag rest period exceeds the set time, that is, one second elapses after the completion of the second drag, When the cursor 120 is moved at a speed (movement speed of the cursor 120 in FIG. 6) according to the rate of increase / decrease of 2, and the additional drag rest period does not exceed the set time, i.e., within one second after the completion of the second drag When the tertiary drag is applied, the cursor 120 may be set to move at a speed corresponding to the third rate of change (the slowest rate in the present embodiment). If the cursor 120 is not moved at a speed corresponding to the first rate of change when the third drag is applied and the cursor 120 is configured to move at a rate corresponding to the second rate of change or the third rate of change, It is possible to move the cursor 120 more finely, so that the accuracy of selecting the icon 110 using the cursor 120 is further improved. In this embodiment, only the case where the second increase / decrease rate is lower than the first increase / decrease rate and the third increase / decrease rate is set to be lower than the second increase / decrease rate is described. However, the first increase / The rate of change can be freely changed according to the user's choice.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. It will also be appreciated that many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
