Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a touch control method for a personal portable terminal having a large touch panel,

The present invention relates to a method for facilitating touch input in a portable terminal having a large screen.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, personal portable terminals can be easily carried by anyone, and their use is becoming commonplace because they are convenient to use freely anywhere.

The personal portable terminal has been used for wireless voice communication. However, as the functional area is gradually diversified, it has been developed to have various additional functions such as game, MP3, etc. in addition to basic voice communication function.

In addition, since the portable portable terminal has high space utilization and convenience of use, mounting of a touch panel such as a touch screen or a touch pad is becoming common. That is, the touch panel can simultaneously perform a function of a display unit for outputting information and an input unit for inputting a signal. Such a touch panel is largely classified into a capacitive type, a pressure type resistive film type, an infrared ray detection type, Can be distinguished.

Meanwhile, the user can execute functions associated with various application programs of the terminal through the touch operation of the touch panel. For example, after executing the application program, the user can execute various functions related to various application programs through an icon displayed on the touch panel or a touch operation of the menu bar.

In recent years, products with more than 5 inches of display combined with touch function are the mainstream, and the trend toward larger displays is expected to continue. However, when viewing a product that is 5 inches or larger than the previous 5 inch display, it was difficult to touch the desired location with one hand. In fact, it is impossible to touch all positions of the display while gripping the portable terminal with a hand based on an adult man.

In many cases, the portable terminal is inevitably used in one hand as a closely used object in a real life. Unexpected accidents can easily occur when the portable terminal having a large display is forcibly used with one hand.

Despite the need for improvement, it is only accelerating the enlargement of the display, and there is a lack of interface development or system development considering user convenience and safety.

The present invention provides a touch control method for a mobile terminal that provides an interface that allows a user to precisely and safely touch a desired position with a single hand through a drawing operation.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a touch control method for a mobile terminal including a display and a touch sensor corresponding to the display, Sensing a start drawing by a user at a boundary of the display, sensing a displacement drawing continuous to the start drawing within the interior of the display that is inner than the boundary of the display, A step of displacing the screen, a step of fixing the displaced screen, a step of receiving a middle touch of the user on the displaced screen, and a step of matching the coordinates of the intermediate touch point and the displaced screen to perform a linked function .

The touch sensor senses an initial touch drawing from above, inside or outside the boundary of the display and can easily displace the displayed screen according to successive displacement drawings after the initial drawing. For this purpose, the displayed screen can be specified and displaced in the system or the specific application of the portable terminal, and the displaced screen can be temporarily fixed. When the user touches a point where the user is close to the screen displacement in correspondence with the fixed screen, the middle touch coordinates by the touch sensor and the coordinates of the displacement screen in the display are matched to each other to perform a linked function.

The touch control method according to the present invention can be applied to various functions and processes according to the design of the system designer or application maker. For example, you can use it to displace non-touching parts of the browser screen. You can also use it to displace non-finger areas in applications such as maps and banks, or even when entering phone numbers or text. There is a number. In addition, it can be applied to all screens and applications implemented in a mobile terminal without limitation.

The process of displacing the displayed screen can be determined under various conditions. For example, it is desirable to activate the screen displacement process when the starting drawing is sensed from the boundary of the display, and the displacement reference can be determined by the position or direction of the starting drawing, the length, the shape, Length, shape, and the like, which are sensed while moving to the inside of the display.

More specifically, the starting drawing may be defined as a movement that moves along the inside of the border of the display, a movement that moves along the border on the border of the display, or a movement that moves horizontally or vertically along the outside of the border of the display. It can also be defined as a movement that draws a specific shape, a line shape, a waveform, etc., around the boundary of the display.

In addition, the starting drawing can be defined as a shape, a time, and an intermittent motion. Even when the drawing is stopped while maintaining the touch for a predetermined time at the boundary of the display, it can be defined as a motion for starting drawing.

According to the direction of the displacement drawing, when the direction of the displacement drawing is inclined, the displaced screen can be exposed from the other edge that diagonally faces the screen displayed on the periphery of one corner facing the displacement drawing direction. In addition, when the direction of the displacement drawing is horizontal, the displaced screen can be exposed from another vertical boundary facing the screen displayed around the vertical boundary facing the displacement drawing direction. When the direction of the displacement drawing is vertical, the displaced screen can be exposed from another horizontal boundary facing the screen displayed on the periphery of one horizontal boundary facing the displacement drawing direction.

In the step of displacing the screen as described above, the screen can be displaced in proportion to the displacement drawing of the user. More specifically, the displaced drawing is continued and the displaced screen can be fixed in response to the suspension. The intermediate touch may be defined on the basis of a case where a touch signal is generated at a point different from the pause point of the user. In addition, Can be specified.

It is possible to perform a linked function such as clicking a desired point, inputting a button or the like by matching the middle touch point with the coordinates of the displaced screen, and thereafter, the displaced screen can be restored. Of course, it is also possible to switch directly to another screen to perform the associated functions prior to restoration.

It may also be necessary to define the screen displacement process and to activate the screen displacement process according to the promised condition, prior to the step of displacing the screen displayed on the display. For this purpose, when the start drawing is held for a predetermined time, for example, for 1 or 2 seconds or more around the boundary of the display, a function for activating the screen displacement process and for displacing the screen, There is a number.

In addition, in the case where a predetermined number of times or more are sensed at the same point prior to the start drawing, for example, the screen displacement process can be activated by signaling that the touch is repeated twice or three times at the starting drawing point.

In this specification, the term " display associated with the touch panel "refers to a terminal having a touch sensing function in all or part of the display, and a separate touch panel sensor may be provided in an area defined by the display.

The term "display boundary" refers to a boundary of a display divided by a liquid crystal panel, a front bezel or window decoration of a terminal, and its boundary is mainly a rectangle depending on the shape of the display, And may be defined in accordance with the design of the manufacturer or in accordance with the display module.

The present invention provides an interface that allows a user to precisely and safely touch a desired position with a single hand, thereby preventing a user's inconvenience and possibility of an accident occurring due to a large screen.

However, in addition to the icon screen, in addition to the icon screen, it is also possible to perform browsing, setting, application execution, phone number input, character input, and the like by touching the mobile terminal in addition to the icon screen implemented in the mobile terminal The same can be applied to various functions that can be achieved.

1 is a front view for explaining a touch control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the portable terminal 100 includes a large-sized display 110. A touch sensor (not shown) is provided on the display 110. In general, the coordinate detected by the touch sensor is matched with the coordinate displayed on the current display, and the matched point is detected as being touched, have.

Here, the linked function may be an execution of an icon defined in a predetermined position, a hyperlink in browsing, a graphic button (for example, backward, forward, bookmark, etc.) .

In FIG. 1, the R-R line may mean a range in which a finger can be touched while holding the terminal 100 with one hand. In order to perform a touch over the R-R line, it is possible to loosen the current gripping state of the hand so that the finger is farther away, or both hands can be used to hold one hand and touch with the other hand.

2 to 4 are front views for explaining a concrete touch control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, it can be assumed that the user holds the portable terminal with his right hand and can not touch the leftmost and the topmost icon on the screen while maintaining a stable grip.

At this time, the user can input the starting drawing I moving along the display boundary with the thumb. In the present embodiment, a drawing moving from left to right along a docking bar located at the lower end is defined as the starting drawing I. However, a drawing that moves along the border of the display or moves outside the bounds of the display can also be defined as the starting drawing. For reference, in the drawing for explaining the present specification, the starting drawing and the displacement drawing can be expressed by a bold solid line.

Of course, in addition to drawing visible to the eye, maintaining a touch for 2 seconds or a fixed amount of time in the lower right corner can also be understood as a starting drawing.

The screen conversion process can be activated corresponding to the starting drawing I. The system or application of the portable terminal can wait for the displacement drawing to be continuous after the start drawing.

Thereafter, the user can make a displacement drawing T toward the center or diagonal corner of the screen while maintaining finger contact for the start drawing. Corresponding to the user's displacement drawing T, a part of the screen in the vicinity of the diagonal corner and the upper left corner may start to be exposed from the lower right corner. At this time, in order to distinguish the original screen from the converted screen, a border such as a neon frame and a shadow frame for displaying the boundary of the displaced and exposed screen can be expressed.

As the screen around the upper left corner starts to be exposed, the user can confirm that the desired shopping cart icon is in a state in which the user can touch the finger, and as shown in (c), the displacement of the screen can do.

The user can stop the finger movement and temporarily release the touch state. Here, the converted screen can be temporarily fixed without being restored, and waits for an intermediate touch for a predetermined long time. The user can press the desired shopping cart icon within a predetermined time to execute the intermediate touch.

3 and 4, the close icon 120 may be exposed to the periphery of the displaced screen in a state of waiting for an intermediate touch. Therefore, after the displacement drawing T, the exposure range of the screen displaced according to the amount of displacement of the displacement drawing T can be adjusted, and the user can touch the close icon 120 to release the temporarily fixed state.

Accordingly, the system or the application system of the portable terminal can match the coordinates of the converted screen and the coordinates of the middle touch point by the touch sensor, and the coordinates in the converted screen and the coordinates of the screen before the original conversion are matched with each other Can be performed. For this purpose, it is possible to refer to the coordinates of the screen before the original change and the transformed boundary coordinates, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the coordinates before transform are matched with those after transform, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

If the coordinates of the converted screen specified by the middle touch match the position of the icon on the original screen, the portable terminal can perform the desired application or function. It may be directly switched to an application screen to be executed according to the function of the icon, or may be restored to the original screen after performing a specific function in some cases.

In addition to this embodiment, the screen conversion process may be activated based on the touch time of the starting drawing, and the process of activating the screen conversion process according to the number of touches including the starting drawing and the gesture of the starting drawing may be variously selected.

In addition, although the process of exposing the screen around the upper left corner corresponding to the starting point of the displacement drawing starting from the lower right corner has been described, the screen around the upper right corner may be exposed starting from the lower right corner.

5 and 6 are front views for explaining a concrete touch control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, it is assumed that the user holds the portable terminal with his or her right hand. Assume that you can not touch the icon on the top layer while maintaining a stable grip.

At this time, the user can input a starting drawing (I) moving along the lower horizontal border with the thumb and an upward displacement drawing (T) changing the direction at the lower right corner. The screen transformation process can be activated corresponding to the displacement drawing T.

A portion of the screen around the upper or upper horizontal boundary may start to be exposed from below corresponding to the displacement drawing T of the user. At this time, in order to distinguish the original screen from the converted screen, a neon frame or a shadow frame for displaying the boundary of the displaced and exposed screen can be expressed.

As the upper screen starts to be exposed from the lower border, the user can confirm that the desired icon is in a state of being able to reach with the thumb, and can stop the finger movement and temporarily release the touch state. Here, the converted screen can be temporarily fixed without being restored, and waits for an intermediate touch for a predetermined long time. The user can press the desired banner within a predetermined time to execute the intermediate touch.

In this embodiment, although the amount of exposure of the converted screen in proportion to the displacement drawing T of the user is changed in proportion to the user, the display screen may be changed by a predetermined distance, for example, 50% or 30% It may be exposed immediately.

In either case, the system or application system of the portable terminal can match the coordinates of the converted screen and the coordinates of the middle touch point by the touch sensor, and the coordinates in the converted screen and the coordinates of the screen before the original conversion are matched Function can be performed.

Although the process of exposing the upper screen corresponding to the start of the displacement drawing T at the lower boundary has been described, the starting point of the starting drawing and the displacement drawing may be the upper boundary, You can also move it.

The close icon 120 may be exposed to the periphery of the displaced screen while waiting for the middle touch. Therefore, after the displacement drawing T, the exposure range of the screen displaced according to the amount of displacement of the displacement drawing T can be adjusted, and the user can touch the close icon 120 to release the temporarily fixed state.

In the present invention, a personal portable device is a portable electronic device such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a smart phone, a handheld PC, a mobile phone, an MP3 player, A predetermined communication module such as a Code Division Multiplexing Access (CDMA) module, a Bluetooth module, an infrared communication module (IrDA), and a wired or wireless LAN card may be provided.
