Abstract

A method of providing a graphical user interface includes displaying main presentation content on a screen, displaying a certain user interface element (8, 9) having a first orientation relative to a first section (12) of a boundary of an area of display on the screen and, in response to user interaction with the graphical user interface, re-positioning the certain user interface element (8, 9) relative to the main presentation content and the screen. The orientation of the re-positioned user interface element is changed to a second orientation that is different, relative to the first section (12) of the boundary, from the first orientation, but corresponds, relative to a second section (13) of the boundary, to the first orientation.

[Prior Art] U.S. Patent No. 2006/0244734 discloses a method of facilitating user interaction with an image displayed on a touch surface of a large touch system. At least one area of the display image on the touch surface is regenerated in a user accessible location, and the regenerated area is mapped to a corresponding portion of the display image such that the user and the regenerated area The interaction is translated into an interaction with the corresponding portion of the displayed image. In response to the display 133044.doc 200923760 In the actuation of a trigger button at the bottom corner of the touch surface, an absolutely mirrored pull application is invoked. When the trigger is actuated and the absolute mirror mode is (4)k, the portion of the display image adjacent the top edge of the touch surface is regenerated and mirrored to the bottom edge adjacent the touch surface. If the display image is updated in response to user contact, the regeneration of the top portion of the display image occurs in the re-created portion of the display image that appears adjacent to the bottom of the touch surface.

One problem with the extended method is that it is primarily suitable for screens in an upright position. When the relatively large screen is positioned horizontally, the user can be positioned at any point along the border of the user and wish to interact with the graphical user interface. When the portion adjacent to the opposite edge is mirrored, this causes the position around the screen: the user loses orientation. Furthermore, 'unless the control is located close to the edge, the relatively large area must be mirrored. If the opposite area is not mirrored, but where the area is regenerated (i.e., copied), then the majority of the displayed image is removed from the line of sight and the portion that is close to the user's position remains interactive. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method and a computer for controlling a graphical user interface and a data processing system and computer for matching a large-sized screen for users positioned on each side. Program. This object is achieved by a method according to the invention, the method comprising: /匕133044.doc 200923760 in response to user interaction with the graphical user interface; repositioning relative to the primary presentation content and the screen The particular user interface component; and changing the orientation of the repositioned user interface component to a second orientation that is different from the first orientation of the second orientation relative to the boundary: The second section of the boundary corresponds to the first direction. By relocating the particular user interface element relative to the primary presentation content and the screen (rather than the - section relative to the content to be rendered), other users are less likely to lose orientation. By changing the orientation of the repositioned user interface element to a second orientation (the second orientation is different from the first section of the boundary, but opposite to the boundary) The second segment corresponds to the first orientation, and the repositioned user interface element maintains its orientation relative to the segment of the boundary, wherein the user wishing to interact with it has positioned itself. Therefore, the user interface of the shai can be changed to B 1 g and ® to move T and the range of material positions can be increased. User interaction is allowed to occur on all sides of the screen. In a known example, the second segment is determined based on the location of the repositioned user interface component. An effect is that the method enables the most appropriate orientation to be determined without the need to locate the user. The user can go to the eight-bit w1 too; the position where the face is repositioned is to infer the position of the user. Therefore, a user interface component does not require _ Taguchi to enter the system for further input. In order to control the user interface, the user interface is relocated to one of the new ranges of the range according to the user input. Therefore, the latter can control the specific user interface: where. Therefore, the method is suitable for relatively large screens. At the rectangular camp =: lower, the edge and the location at which the particular user interface component is repositioned along the edge are controllable. In the -: embodiment, in response to interaction with a user of a device, the user interface component is re-defined for use in the touch input. Location This indicates a relatively efficient implementation of the Shai method. Being able to touch these two types is important for efficient use of the interface. It provides a simple and relatively accurate method of where a particular user interface component will be located. 1 In an embodiment, the specific user introduces a new position, and the new position is at the end of the - sequence detection position corresponding to the input to the +... . #触摸输性: This: Any blurring in the case of multiple home touch input positions, this is, for example, a schematic action being dragged. In the embodiment, the specific user interface component is repositioned in response to the traversal detected by the device.

A thought action (which is identified as an instruction) must be made to re-position the specific user interface component 133044.doc •10- 200923760. In one embodiment, the particular user interface component is repositioned in response to a touch input detected in a reserved area of the screen. The effect is that the touch input relating to the rearrangement of the user interface elements and the touch input for the application controlled by the time interface interface generally do not accurately correspond to the user interface element. Rather, the reserved area may be located where the user can reach the reserved area. The effect is that there is no need to provide an indicator device, such as a cursor controlled by a joystick. In one embodiment, the particular one of the plurality of removable user interface elements is selected based on a user-touched-detected location relative to a location of another user interface component displayed on the screen. Make eight-sided components.

The input sequence resulting in the repositioning of the particular user interface elements is also shorter, thus improving the efficiency of use of available resources. In one embodiment, the specific user interface component is selected from a plurality of removable user interfaces (4) by: providing a visual indication of the plurality of removable user interfaces; the selection of the noon is in response to the graphic User selection of the user interface; and &quot; domain response to interact with the graphical user interface, select 133044.doc 200923760 to select these mobile user interface user interface components . The second component is suitable for user interaction without the need for touch input at the original location of the particular user interface component. In one embodiment, the particular use device includes an interface widget for converting user base input to input data for use by a data processing device. Ten #^中'm has a simple user interface component that interacts with it. The ability of the interface m to read the 4 provided thereon is relatively important, such that the present embodiment represents an implementation that improves the efficiency of the graphical user interface. In one embodiment, the particular use of the user interface is limited to a location within a reserved area of the area surrounding the display of the primary presentation content. One effect is the ability to be able to collide and to find that 4 is primarily present in the field of view of all potential users around the screen. The f month condition τ ' § hai 4 retention area _ is positioned along the boundary of the display area. One effect is to improve the efficiency of the Teutian search for user interface elements being repositioned. It is only possible to locate the particular user's interface that is potentially accessible from the edge of the screen. The system for controlling a graphical user interface in accordance with the present invention is configured to cause the predetermined and special user interface component to be displayed in a new location 'the new location has —筮— The first orientation of the second orientation relative to the boundary 133044.doc 12 200923760 is different from the first orientation, but a second section relative to the boundary corresponds to the first orientation. In an embodiment, the system is configured to perform a method in accordance with the present invention. According to another aspect, the data processing system in accordance with the present invention includes a system for controlling a graphical user interface. According to another aspect, the computer program according to the present invention comprises a set of fingers f k. : when incorporated in a machine readable medium, the system having the capability of having information can perform a method according to the present invention method. [Embodiment]: A data processing apparatus 1 introduced for illustrative purposes includes a central processing unit 2 and a main memory 3. The data processing device further includes a "material storage device 4" for storing data in a computer-style horse. A graphical user interface batch &gt; ▲ and ρ (7) Motian interact with these applications when they are executed. The one-step inclusion-displaying material processing device has a device 5 and a graphic processing unit 6. The display device 5 comprises a relatively large size screen of about one mega-meter. In / case t ' the curtain is provided in the frame and supported by - so that the screen can be placed ° below "eight" against the general horizontal plane t. Due to the features described in the following, multiple users use this graphically to go to the eight &amp; amps, 兀4 planes and interact efficiently with the user interface. An input device can be accessed from: + _ w ^ to detect the touch input of the cemetery of the display device 5. The main r丄J on the screen is included in an electric Μ彳; surface wave touch screen panel, electric F panel, - touch screen panel or a strain gauge I33044.doc -13- 200923760 touch screen panel Or, the wheeling device may be based on a spread signal technique or sonic pulse recognition, or an array of infrared sensors, such as an interruption of a modulated beam of light adjacent the surface of the screen of the display device 5. In the following, it will be assumed that the input device is capable of simultaneously detecting touch inputs at a plurality of locations on the screen. Referring to Figure 2', a first interface tool set 8 and a second interface tool set 9 are displayed in the display area of the screen. The first interface tool set 8 and the second interface tool set 9 are placed in a first reserved area bounded by an internal boundary 1 〇 and an external boundary 丨丨. The inner boundary 丨〇 and the outer boundary 丨丨 are encoded into software that enables the graphical user interface to be provided. These boundaries are not physical boundaries. The inner boundary 1 is surrounded by a central area 14 of the screen, and the primary presentation of the graphical user interface is displayed in the central area 14 when in use. In Fig. 2, the first interface tool set 8 and the second interface tool set 9 are displayed in an upright orientation at a first position relative to a first edge 12 of the display area of the screen. The first edge 12 is the closest segment of the boundary of the display area of the screen. If a user at a second edge 13 wishes to use, for example, the first interface tool set 8', the user enters a schematic action illustrated in FIG. 3 by a sequence of detected positions 15 of the touch input. This unintentional action is entered in a second reserved area defined by the boundary of the border 16 and the display area of the screen. Referring to Figure 6, the data processing device detects a touch input (step 17)&apos; in the second reserved area and subsequently detects the appropriate indication 18) for moving the first interface tool set 8. In the description of the example: Example 133044.doc 14 200923760, the data processing apparatus 1 selects the first interface tool set 8 and the second interface tool set 9 according to the gesture action detected in the previous step 18. One of the appropriate (step 19). A final position i5d of the detected sequence position corresponds to a new position of the first interface tool set 8 determined by the data processing device 1 (step 20). If the new location is within the first reserved area defined by the inner boundary 10 and the outer boundary 则, the first interface tool set 8 is repositioned (step 2!) in a second location, such as This is illustrated in Figure 5. During this process, the orientation of the first interface tool set 8 is changed to a second orientation. The second orientation is different from the orientation at the first location relative to the first edge 丨2. J, the second orientation of the second edge is the same as the original orientation relative to the second edge 12 with respect to the second edge. The first interface tool set 8 maintains the same orientation of the closest segment of the boundary of the display area of the &quot;Hai screen&quot;. In the illustrated embodiment, it is also applicable to the intermediate position (Fig. 4, the first interface tool set 8 is closest to a third edge 22 at the intermediate position. In this position, the first interface tool The set 8 has the same orientation relative to the third edge 22 as it is relative to the first edge 12 in its original position. The screen view of Figure 4 is along the screen of the first interface tool set 8 along the screen. The boundary of the display area moves within the first reserved area and may actually be displayed to the user. In another embodiment, the intermediate position is not displayed during repositioning. In the case depicted in Figure 5, The first &quot;face tool set 8' can be further repositioned or the second interface tool set 9 can be repositioned. To allow the same type of gesture to be used, select the first interface tool 133044.doc •15- 200923760 Episode 8 The step 19 of the second interface tool set 9 is based on a user's touch input position of the position of the first interface tool set 8 on the screen of the chest screen. Therefore, the library is also in the box. ~ — one α The pre-determined type of touch input-first-debt measurement position sequence 23 will mean that the first interface worker 8 will be repositioned, and a second detection position sequence of the touch wheel means that The second interface tool set 9 will be repositioned. f In the embodiment (the embodiment shown in the figure), the specific user interface component is selected from a plurality of movable users&quot; Providing a visual indication of a current selection of one of a plurality of movable user interface elements; responding to a touch input in the form of a specific portion of the intentional action within the second reserved area defined by the boundary 16 The peripheral edge of the first interface tool set 8 and the second interface tool set 9 are highlighted, the highlight display provides a visual indication of the current selection; the positional movement in response to the touch input (eg, via current Select the desired change in the selection and drag a few gestures along the second reserved area to the left or to the right, "Select is changed" and the highlight display moves to follow the current selection. ^ First - interface tool set 8 and The user of the second interface tool set 9 is required to perform the gesture in response to the interaction with the user of the graphical user interface to enable the mobile user interface. The current selector of the component becomes the particular user interface component that is repositioned. Completion of the appropriate touch input sequence includes lifting an unintended action to provide a touch input sequence plus a second gesture (eg, in a Place a second bump next to a finger, and then release the U and then both, or change the orientation as the gesture is dragged across the screen. 133044.doc -16· 200923760 An alternative embodiment of the two embodiments discussed first determines the gesture to select and - repositions the interface and sets 89. In any case, the interface tools 8, 9 move through the interface with the interface The first reserved area 佯/..., the orientation of the face tool set relative to the closest segment of the boundary of the display area of the screen. Therefore, it is possible to use these interface tools more efficiently by any of the various service users around the company.
