To determine the manner in which the user holds the input device 1, for example, when the control module 13 receives four touch position data, as shown in FIG. 2B, where the Y position of the touch position 2 ι 〜 231 is close and The touch point position of the other touch position 241 is respectively within a predetermined range from the gamma coordinate distance of the touch position 241, and the control module 13 can determine that the user holds the input device by the gesture shown in FIG. 1 Therefore, even if the absolute positions of the touch regions shown in FIGS. 2C to 2E are different from those in FIG. 2B, when the control module 13 receives the two-dimensional position data shown in FIG. 2B to FIG. 2E, the position comes. It is judged that the input devices i are all similar to the gestures. Referring to Figures 3A and 3B, which are schematic diagrams of the input and input mode of the present invention, and the data of the curved touch module. schematic diagram. In Figure 3A, the user will hold the input I at the end of the I, and the thumb 291. : the area 31 on the plane 20, the index finger 292 touches the area of the plane persuasion 32 'the middle finger 293 touches the area % on the plane 2〇, and the mouth 294 touches the area 34 on the plane 2〇, that is, the curved touch Module u 200915130 One-dimensional position 311, a two-dimensional position 32i, a two-dimensional position 33i Y応 two-dimensional position 341. In Fig. 3B, the two-dimensional positions 311 to 331 are close to each other and are lower than the two-dimensional position 314, which is significantly different from the two-dimensional position combination shown in Fig. 2B. 4A and 4], which are schematic diagrams of an input device-wheeling mode of the present invention, and a schematic diagram of the two-dimensional position data of the curved touch module. In Fig. 4A, the user's double surname is from ί 3 into the two ends of the device 1, the left thumb 281 and the index finger 282 49 are rained into the front end of the device 1, that is, the touch area 41 on the plane 20 and 嫂, ' Γί手之指指 291 and index finger 292 hold the touch areas 43 and 44 on the two sides 20 of the input device 1. In the fourth diagram, the curved one-module module 12 inputs a two-dimensional position 4n, a two-dimensional position 421, a package:: 2:3, a two-dimensional position 44, because of the two-dimensional position combination position, and The gamma coordinates are the minimum values and ° ', the second to the second map, and the third-only map - the difference in positional data combinations. One bite of the bite to the garden is called the minimum value and the maximum value of 佶Γί1槛 to define what is not going to be repeated. It is known to those skilled in the art that, as can be seen from the above description, the control module 13 can determine the current user's gesture by the curved touch module position=#料121. i, therefore, the #龙龙组13 location data 121 determines the user's gesture, and then enters the corresponding input mode. Then, the powder device 1 19 ^ control module U according to the surface touch]: Γ 2 2, / 13 to determine that the user is holding the input device f 1 as shown in the second figure, then the control module enters the Liu mode Then, if the user's index finger 292 is touched twice in the area 22 points 200915130, the curved touch module 12 continuously inputs two two-dimensional position data 221 to the control module 13, and the control module is used. The group 13 judges that the user touches twice in the area 2= and generates a control signal of “next page”. If the control group 13 receives two consecutive two-dimensional position data 251, it can be judged that the user bends. The index finger 292 touches twice in the area 25 to generate a "previous page" control signal. Similarly, when the control module 13 determines that the user is holding the input device 1' as shown in FIG. 3A, the control module 13 switches the input device to enter the media playback mode, and then, if the control module 13 receives the continuous The two one-dimensional position data 321' can determine that the user bends the index finger 292 in the area = touch twice, and generates a control signal of "r playback". If the control mode, and *13 receives two consecutive two-dimensional position data 351, it can be judged that the user and the curved index finger 292 are touched twice in the area 35, and an r pause "f control signal" is generated. If the control module π receives a two-dimensional position data moved from the area 32 to the area 35, it can be determined that the user's index finger 292 slides from the area 32 to the area 35, and the control module 13 generates a "fast turn" (fast = The control signal of nvard), on the other hand, if the control module i3 determines that the used index finger 292 is slid from the area 35 to the area 32, a "fast backward" control signal is generated. Similarly, when the control module 13 determines that the user is a dual-handheld input device 1, as shown in FIG. 4A, the control module 13 switches the input device into the keyboard mode, and if the control module 13 receives the region 45 \ f tribute, it will produce - "input character" control signal, and the area of the touch is different, the input character is different, for example, the area 5 is a numeric keypad, the area 451 Enter the number to enter the number 2.匕A斗52 Please note that the above-mentioned user's gesture of taking the input device is only limited to 200915130. Anything that can be accessed through the two-dimensional position data 121 is within the protection scope of the present invention. It can be a multi-mode switching function of the present invention, which includes two copies; 11 is another schematic diagram of an embodiment. In the figure, the input device 5 J curved touch module 12 and a control module 53. Isr: The body of the god is a pen-like body having a cylindrical surface, but the two bodies "the body 11 may be - a cone, a sphere or any geometry as needed. The curved touch module 12 is disposed on the body=12=/input a two-dimensional position data 121. The curved touch module 12 is preferably a flexible touch panel. The material 53 trains the two-dimensional position according to the geometrical characteristics of the body 11 and then according to the input mode of the three-dimensional position data 5C tool Jut device_5. Please refer to FIG. 5B and Hanwei Guangli to display the two-dimensional coordinate diagram of the curved touch module of the present invention, and the schematic diagram of the X-axis of the curved touch module of the present invention, _Ζ, coordinates. For convenience, it is connected below the curved touch module 12 shown in FIG. 5, and in fact, when the curved touch module 12 is disposed on the body u, the two edges are connected to form a cylinder. . According to the geometrical characteristics of the cylinder, the γ of the three-dimensional coordinates, the axis of the two-dimensional coordinates of the axis-surface touch module, such as the axis shown in the 2β figure, and the X-segment and the squatting standard are converted by the curved surface touch mode. The X-axis of the dimensional coordinates is obtained as shown in the second figure. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5C, the curved touch module 12 completely covers the body 11 (cylinder). Therefore, the axis coordinates of the curved touch module 12 can be divided into four equal parts, respectively. Corresponds to latitude, 9 degrees, 18 degrees and 27 degrees. 12 200915130 For example, 5, the maximum χ J pixel of the de-curved touch module 12, and the radius of the body is 4 256 / π (π is a circle: rate), and the X (two) position is converted into χ, ζ, Coordinate position (7), X ί = set to Χ, _ Ζ, coordinate position is still, 573 position is converted into Χ, _ Ζ, coordinate position (7) purely 384 pixels position is converted into χ, _ ζ, When the coordinates of the coordinates of the coordinates of 俨2 are linear, the position angle of the coordinates can be Χ Χ Ζ, _Ζ, for example, the X of the position 59 is 43 pixels, which is the distance from the position |571 to the position still = The angle 592 of position 59 is 3 degrees (9 〇 / 3 = 3 〇), so it can be two: the X' coordinate of 59 is rxc 〇 s3 〇. ’ ζ, the coordinates are as follows. . , ground, if the X coordinate of position 58 is 192 pixels, then the angle % of position 582 is 135 degrees (192/256=3/4 '180x3/4=135) ', then the X of position 58 is coordinates rxcosl35. , z, coordinates _ηΐ35. . By means of the above, it can be known that the two-dimensional coordinates of the curved touch module 12 can be converted into a three-dimensional coordinate by analyzing the characteristics of the body covered by the curved control 12 . By converting the one-dimensional coordinates into three-dimensional coordinates, more information can be generated for the use of the old-fashioned input, for example, in Figure 6A, since the position 294 is attached to the tiger's mouth. The bit f should be located on the face of the input device 5 facing downward, that is, its z, the coordinate should be a negative value (γ shown in Fig. 6 and the axis is parallel to the device). However, the user often does not notice the axial direction of the wheeling device during operation. In order to increase the operational convenience of the input device 5, the control module can adjust the axial direction according to the touch area of the user. Taking the input device as an example, the control module 53 first converts the two-dimensional coordinates of the positions 291 to 294 into three-dimensional coordinates, and judges that the user is holding the input device 5 according to the three-dimensional coordinates 13 200915130. The similarity of the system is not described here. The control module 53 then adjusts the parameters used in the above conversion process by using the three-dimensional coordinates of the position 294 in accordance with the feature of the position 294 on the downward side of the input device 1 so that the conversion of the three-dimensional coordinates is more in line with the input. Set the state of being taken. The dry module 53 controls the signal according to the three-dimensional position data 531 and the switched ί iiiii. Since the two-dimensional coordinate data is converted into the direction of the touch displacement, a more accurate judgment can be made, which shows that the input device of the present invention is not intended to be converted into three-dimensional coordinates by the three-dimensional coordinates. Since the movement to position 61, and the movement from position 62 to position 63, the shift to white is the upward displacement 'so the control module 5 =. If there is no conversion of the three-dimensional coordinates, the position modulo 63 is changed from time to time, and the control mode is controlled, and the control signal of the error is generated. The above is only an example and not a limitation. Any equivalent modifications or changes made to the singularity and the stipulations of the stipulations shall be included in the scope of the appended patent application.
