Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this process, the size and shape of the components shown in the drawings may be enlarged from the actual size for clarity and convenience of explanation. In addition, terms defined in consideration of the configuration and operation of the present invention may be changed according to the intention or custom of the user, the operator.

An external input device such as a keyboard and a game pad may be connected to a terminal equipped with a touch screen by wire or wirelessly. The terminal equipped with the screen may include at least one of a smart phone, a tablet PC, a smart TV, and a PC.

1 is an example of mapping a general key or direction key of a keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention to a touch screen specific area or a screen view moving area of a mobile and controlling touch and view movement for a specific area of the mobile terminal with a keyboard Fig.

In one aspect of the invention,

Generally, the keyboard can be divided into groups 111 and 112 and a general key 113 that can be used as direction keys. Each of the key buttons on the keyboard has a unique key value, and when the key is pressed, a unique key value is continuously generated and transmitted to the connected device.

First, when a specific general key 113 is pressed on the keyboard while the keyboard and the mobile terminal are wired or wirelessly connected, a specific general key value is transmitted to the terminal.

The terminal receives the key value received from the keyboard and confirms whether a virtual identification area 123 such as a specific image or text that is mapped to the key value is generated on the screen. Here, the virtual identification area may be a point on the screen or a predetermined size area having a predetermined size. If the virtual identification area 123 is a region having a predetermined size, it is regarded as being mapped to a key value transmitted from the keyboard and a center or one coordinate within a specific area of the terminal screen. The virtual identification area on the terminal screen described below may be one of the virtual buttons 123, the virtual joysticks 121 and 122, and the virtual view movement 124 according to the mapping type.

If it is determined that the virtual identification area 123 is created on the screen, if the virtual identification area is not created, a virtual identification area 123 having mapping information such as a keyboard key value or label received internally, And displays the virtual identification area on the screen. Then, the user touches the identification area generated in the above operation, and maps the game on the joystick 141 or the game button 142 used in the actual game in FIG. When a general key mapped on the keyboard is pressed, a touch event occurs at the center coordinates or arbitrary coordinates in the virtual identification area area.

Generally, the touch event on the terminal screen is classified as touch DOWN, MOVE, UP event.

More specifically, when a specific button is pressed on the keyboard, a touch DOWN event is generated at a coordinate within the virtual identification area, and when a specific button pressed on the keyboard is released, a touch UP event is generated at the same coordinates in the virtual identification area .

Second, keys such as the WASD 111 and the arrow key 112 to be used as direction keys instead of the normal buttons on the keyboard can be designated as the virtual direction key groups 111 and 112. The direction key group includes a virtual joystick area 121 When one key in the direction key group is pressed, it is confirmed whether or not a virtual identification area 121 such as a distinguishable specific image or text to be mapped to the direction key group is generated on the terminal screen.

In the step of verifying whether the virtual identification area is created, if the virtual identification area is not created, a virtual identification area 121 having mapping information such as a virtual joystick ID and a label is generated, On the screen.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a method of mapping an A, W, D, and S "key of a keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention as a direction key group, 2 (a) shows an example of touching in one direction of the mapped virtual mapping area by depressing the keys A, W, D and S "respectively, and FIG. 2 (b) shows an example in which two adjacent keys of the A, W, D, and S "keys are pressed between the two keys.

3 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a touch is controlled by dragging the A, W, D, and S "keys of a keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention from a center 130 of a mapped specific area of a mobile terminal as a direction key group .

FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which, when two adjacent keys among the A, W, D and S "directional key groups of the keyboard according to the embodiment of the present invention are pressed, 4 (a) shows a case where A, W, D and S "are pressed first, and 4 (b) shows a case where W, D, S, A "is pressed first. If two keys are pressed at the same time, dragging occurs diagonally although not shown.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the A key of the "WASD " which can be a direction key group of the keyboard is mapped to the left coordinate 131 of the virtual joystick area 121 of the terminal screen.

Here, the touch event generation mode by the keyboard A key operation is generated in the following two ways. First, when a user presses the A key as shown in FIG. 2A, a touch event is generated at a left point 131 of the virtual joystick area 121 of the terminal screen. When a user presses the A key of the keyboard, A touch down event is generated in the left coordinate 131 from the center and a touch UP event is generated in the left coordinate 131 when the A key of the keyboard is released. The second form is a form in which a touch is dragged to the left point 131 by touching the center coordinate 130 as shown in FIG. 3. When the user presses A, a touch DOWN event is generated at the center coordinate 130 of the virtual joystick area 121 And then moves from the center coordinate to the left point, a touch MOVE event is repeatedly generated, and when the hand A is released (released), a touch UP event is generated at the left point 131. In the touch drag mode, the virtual joystick area 121 can be enlarged to be used as a scrolling function of the top, bottom, left, and right screens. Here, the movement distance and the number of repetitions in the touch MOVE event can be changed more than once, depending on the time previously specified or the time the A key is pressed.

As described above, the W, S, A, and D keys are mapped to four directions of up, down, left, and right so that a touch event can be generated in one of two forms in the virtual joystick area.

Also, when two keys are pressed, a touch event occurs at the midpoint between the two pressed keys. That is, if you press the A key mapped leftward and the W key upward, a touch event occurs at the left and upper 45 degrees, or a touch drag occurs from the center coordinate. A total of eight directional touch events are generated by four key combinations A, W, D, S, A + W, W + D, D + S and S +

In addition, a step of confirming whether to use the view moving mode or the virtual joystick mode can be added when designating the keys that can be used as the direction key, such as the WASD used as the direction key, or the arrow key, as the direction key group 111.

When the virtual direction key group 111 such as the WASD key or the arrow key is designated as the view movement mode and one key in the direction key group is pressed on the keyboard, a touch is made in the key direction in the center coordinate within the mobile full screen area corresponding to the mapped key direction Dragging occurs. By applying this view moving method, it is possible to provide an effect of scrolling up and down, right and left in a game such as an FPS with a direction key.

5 is a diagram illustrating a process of mapping a keyboard event and a touch of a mobile screen and a view movement event through an application connecting a touch event of a keyboard with a mobile screen according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In one aspect of the invention,

The virtual identification areas 121, 122, and 123 generated by mapping the keys of the keyboard and the mobile terminal screen can move, resize, and delete the corresponding areas.

In addition, a trigger display 211 of a specific shape is displayed on one side of the mobile terminal screen, and when the trigger is selected, a menu 221 for mapping the keyboard and the terminal screen control is activated and displayed.

If the keys 111 and 112 or the general keys 113 that can be used as direction keys in the keyboard are pressed while the control mapping menu 221 is open and there is no previously mapped virtual identification area, the virtual joystick 121 ) Or a virtual identification area 123 having information mapped internally to the general key.

When the control mapping menu is opened and the left trigger is selected again, the virtual identification areas mapped with the control mapping screen disappear from the screen. When a user manipulates a direction key or a general key of the keyboard, the terminal connected to the keyboard internally generates an associated touch or view movement event in the virtual identification area coordinates or area previously mapped with the keyboard.

If there is no focus in the text field of the mobile screen, if the text field of the mobile screen has focus, the character corresponding to the key pressed by the keyboard is output to the text field. The touch event can be generated at a coordinate of the virtual identification area on the screen of the mobile terminal. This allows you to simultaneously enter text and touch control with the keyboard.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of controlling touch and movement of a mobile terminal with a game pad by mapping a button or an analog joystick of a game pad according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention with a screen specific region or a view movement control .

As shown in FIG. 6A, when a specific analog joystick 311 is moved in a wired or wireless connection between a game pad and a mobile terminal, coordinate values are generated according to distance and direction from the center coordinates (0, 0) and transmitted to the connected terminals .

The mobile terminal receives the analog stick movement coordinate value from the game pad and checks whether a virtual identifier 321 such as a distinguishable specific image or text that is mapped to the analog stick is generated on the terminal screen.

If the virtual identifier is not generated, the virtual identifier 321 having mapping information such as game pad analog stick ID (Left, Center, Right information) or label received internally is checked ), And displays the virtual identifier on the screen.

If the analog stick mapped by the game pad is moved while the specific analog stick is mapped with a virtual identifier having a specific area on the screen of the terminal, the touch event is detected in relative coordinates within the virtual identifier area of the mobile screen corresponding to the moved coordinates .

When a specific analog stick of the game pad first moves at the center coordinate (0, 0) in the step of generating a touch event at the relative coordinates within the mobile virtual identifier area corresponding to the analog joystick coordinates, Touch DOWN event is generated. When the specific analog stick moves to a coordinate other than the center coordinate in a state in which the previous coordinate of the specific analog stick is not the center coordinate, a touch MOVE event is generated in the relative coordinate within the virtual identifier area. Further, when the specific analog stick moves to the center coordinates in a state where the previous coordinates of the specific analog stick are not the center coordinates, a touch UP event is generated in the relative coordinates within the virtual identifier area corresponding to the previous coordinates of the specific analog stick.

In addition, a step of specifying whether the analog stick of the game pad, which is an external input device, in the mobile terminal is to be used in the view moving mode or the virtual analog stick mode may be added.

In one aspect of the invention,

Generally, the game pad is composed of a general key button 313 and analog sticks 311 and 312. Each of the general buttons of the game pad has a unique key value. When the analog stick is moved by an external force, relative coordinate information (x, y) is generated in accordance with the distance and direction from the center coordinate (0, 0).

Also, when a specific button 313 is pressed on the game pad rather than the joysticks 311 and 312 in the game pad, the key value of the specific button is transmitted to the mobile terminal.

The terminal receives the key value received from the game pad and checks whether a virtual identifier 323 such as a specific image or text that is mapped to the key value is generated on the screen. Here, the virtual identifier may be a point on the screen or a predetermined size area having a predetermined size. If the virtual identifier 323 is a region having a predetermined size, it is regarded that the key value transmitted from the game pad is mapped to a center or a coordinate within a specific area of the terminal screen. The virtual identifier on the terminal screen shown in the following description may be one of the virtual button 323, the virtual analog sticks 321 and 322, and the virtual view movement 324 according to the mapping type.

If it is determined that the virtual identifier 323 is generated on the screen, if the virtual identifier is not generated, a virtual identifier 323 having mapping information such as a game pad key value or label received internally is generated And displays the virtual identifier on the screen. After mapping, when a specific button is pressed on the game pad, a touch event is generated at the center coordinates or the specific coordinates in the virtual identifier area.

In the step of generating the virtual identifier (323), a virtual identification area is generated at a position calculated by a certain virtual identification area creation position rule, and the virtual identification area creation position designation rule includes an identification area generated before or after And may be linear, circular, or polygonal having a flow of flow.

6B shows a case in which the keys "X", "Y", "A", "B", "R1" A virtual identifier is generated for each of "Y", "A", "B", "R1", and "L1" You can of course create rules from right to left.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of generating a virtual control button of a game according to a certain flow rule with a button of a game pad according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and mapping it to a game screen.

7A shows a case in which virtual identifiers are displayed on the terminal screen in the order of "X", "Y", "B", ""B","A","L1", and "R1". If a virtual identifier is generated in this order in the order of pressing on the game pad, it is easy to map the game control button and the virtual identifier on the game screen. The key value and location of the game button are different for each game pad maker, and the position of the game control button for each game is also different. In such an environment, if a certain flow generation rule is given to the virtual control button as described above, the user can intuitively and more effectively map the game button as shown in FIG. 7B.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a game controller creation screen having various types of rules.

8A sequentially generates virtual identifiers in two lines on the screen for buttons pressed in the order of "X", "Y", "A", "B", "R1", and "L1" in the game pad. 8B is an example of generating a circle. 8C shows an example of linearly generating from left to right by pressing the game pad button in the order of "R1", "L1", "A", "B", "X", and "Y". 8D shows an example of linearly generating from right to left by pressing the game pad button in the order of "R1", "L1", "A", "B", "X", and "Y". In addition, a virtual identifier for the last button pressed may be created at the top of the screen, overlapping at one point on the screen. It is possible to create a virtual identifier by a rule having various ordering order, so that the user can easily memorize a recently pressed button, thereby providing an easier mapping method for the game control general button of the game pad and the game screen .

10 is a diagram illustrating a view moving mode implemented by a joystick of a game pad or a direction key combination of a keyboard.

The view moving mode is a function to move the view of the screen of the shooting target used in the first-person shooting game such as FPS (First-Person Shooter) up and down and left and right. When the analog stick is moved in the external input device, a drag event is generated in the direction of movement of the analog stick in the center coordinates in the mobile full screen area, in the view moving mode or the analog stick mode. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, a direction key group of a generated virtual identification area on the mobile terminal screen corresponding to a joystick or keyboard direction key group of a game pad is designated as a view movement. When you move the joystick on the gamepad or press one key in the directional key group on the keyboard, a touch drag occurs from the center of the screen to the outside of the screen in the direction of the joystick or key. When the generated virtual touch coordinates reach the end of the specified screen or the end of a predetermined area, a touch drag is repeatedly generated from the center of the screen to the outside of the screen, and when the key is released, a touch UP event is generated, And terminates. In this way, a view movement of a 360-degree game can be realized by mapping a specific key of an external controller such as a game pad or a keyboard and a touch control of the screen. This makes it possible for the user to easily control the touch game by using most game pads and keyboards regardless of specific keys or buttons such as game pads and keyboards according to the manufacturer.

When the external input device is a general keyboard rather than a gamepad controller, it is mapped to a virtual view movement with respect to a direction key group of a keyboard such as an arrow key of a keyboard or a "WASD ", and when a specific key in a direction key group is pressed, A drag event is generated from the center coordinate to the end point of the screen, and the screen can be scrolled to be applied to the view movement such as FPS. Like a gamepad controller, you can control the touch or view movement of the terminal screen with a regular keyboard. In this case, even if there is no joystick movement of the game pad or key input of the keyboard, a virtual identifier for frequently used virtual joystick or view movement may be generated in advance for the convenience of the user.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, in the view movement mode, when a joystick of the game pad or a specific key in the direction key group of the keyboard is pressed in a predetermined rule, the key is moved from the center of the screen to the end of the screen, The touch move event 325 can be generated to adjust the view movement sensitivity according to the game.

In one embodiment, the touch conversion sensitivity sets a touch movement interval (distance) and a movement time when a touch DOWN event occurs after a touch DOWN event occurs at the center of the screen by pressing a key in a direction key group, , And the moving time can be reduced by a predetermined rule. In addition, a delay time can be given when moving the first touch movement. Thus, if a specific key in the direction key group is pressed as shown in FIG. 10, the effect that the screen view movement is gradually accelerated to a specific key direction can be obtained, The sensitivity can be adjusted.

It is also possible to set two or more sensitivities with different touch conversion sensitivities for the view movement of the direction key group and assign a specific button key to each of the plurality of touch conversion sensitivities.

When the specific button key is pressed, the directional key group having the view movement mode applies the view movement sensitivity to the mapped touch conversion sensitivity, so that the user can easily select the view movement sensitivity as needed in the game, You can proceed.

You can also set the default sensitivity that is used as the default for touch conversion sensitivity to the view movement of the direction key group and the auxiliary sensitivity that is used while holding down a specific key. When the view of the direction key group is moved, the basic sensitivity is applied. When the specific key mapped to the auxiliary sensitivity is pressed, the view sensitivity is applied to the auxiliary sensitivity. When the specific key mapped to the auxiliary sensitivity is released, the view movement sensitivity can be applied again to the basic sensitivity.

Also, since each mobile game has different view movement sensitivity according to the touch operation method, a method of managing the sensitivity for each specific game is needed. To this end, in the step of setting the touch conversion sensitivity for the view movement of the direction key group, the touch movement sensitivity applied only to the specific direction key group can be set to apply the view movement sensitivity to the direction key group applied to each game have. On the contrary, by setting the touch conversion sensitivity which is applied to all the moving directions of the entire directional key group, it is possible to set and use the view movement sensitivity applied to all the games.

In another embodiment, the point movement of the mouse and the left and right button input of the mouse can be converted into the touch function. By specifying specific buttons on the keyboard or mouse, you can convert the mouse to a touch mode that can be used as a touch function with that particular button. When the mouse is converted into the touch mode, the mouse pointer disappears from the screen when the mouse is moved, and a touch drag event is generated. In accordance with the mouse movement coordinates (movement direction and movement distance) in detail, a touch drag event is generated from the center coordinates of the screen or the preset reference coordinates. If the movement event does not occur for a predetermined time after the movement of the mouse, the touch coordinates start again from the center coordinates of the screen or the preset reference coordinates. In addition, the mouse movement distance and the touch movement distance ratio can be specified so that the mouse movement sensitivity and the touch sensitivity can be relatively adjusted.

Confirming whether a virtual identification area such as a distinguishable specific image or text mapped to the key value is generated on the screen by pressing the left or right button of the mouse; If the virtual identification area is not created, it is determined whether the virtual identification area is created. If the virtual identification area is not created, a virtual identification area such as a specific image or text having mapping information such as the received key value is generated, ; When the mouse button is pressed, a touch event is generated at one coordinate within the virtual identification area, and the left and right buttons of the mouse can be touched at a desired specific position on the screen.

As described above, the convenience of controlling the touch of the terminal and the scroll speed of the view scroll of the screen can be improved through a touch, a view movement, and a control mapping method of the keyboard, the mouse, and the terminal screen.

The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.
