為充分瞭解本發明之目的、特徵及功效,茲藉由下述具體之實施例,並配合所附之圖式,對本發明做一詳細說明,說明如後:參考第1圖,係本發明第一實施例之可編程虛擬鍵盤的輸入方法的方法流程圖。於第1圖中,該可編程虛擬鍵盤的輸入方法係應用於具有觸控顯示面板之電子產品,且該電子產品係安裝有作業系統,例如該電子產品係可為平板電腦、智慧型手機、桌上型電腦、筆記型電腦或可攜式多媒體裝置等需要提供文字與符號輸入的產品。再者,該作業系統係可為Symbian、Windows Mobile、Win 8、iOS、Linux(含Android、Maemo和WebOS)、Palm OS和BlackBerry OS等。In order to fully understand the objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. A method flow diagram of an input method of a programmable virtual keyboard of an embodiment. In the first figure, the input method of the programmable virtual keyboard is applied to an electronic product having a touch display panel, and the electronic product is installed with an operating system, for example, the electronic product can be a tablet computer, a smart phone, Products that require text and symbol input, such as desktops, notebooks, or portable multimedia devices. Furthermore, the operating system can be Symbian, Windows Mobile, Win 8, iOS, Linux (including Android, Maemo, and WebOS), Palm OS, and BlackBerry OS.
該可編程虛擬鍵盤的輸入方法的步驟係起始於步驟S11,係在該作業系統上安裝虛擬輸入區域,以藉由觸碰該觸控顯示面板而操作該虛擬輸入區域,而該虛擬輸入區域係具有複數虛擬按鍵,且該等虛擬按鍵分別地具有預設標準尺寸。於此,該虛擬輸入區域係可定義為虛擬鍵盤,而該虛擬鍵盤係具有該等虛擬按鍵,且每一該虛擬按鍵係可對應有字元按鍵(例如A-Z等)、字符按鍵(例如~!@等)、數字按鍵(例如0-9等)與控制按鍵(Space、Ctrl、TAB、CAPs lock等)。此外,該等虛擬按鍵係具有預設標準尺寸可供使用者觸碰,其中在該預設標準尺寸的範圍(或稱觸碰面積)中係表示具有對應的該字元、該字符、該數字與該控制等的定義,其標準的配置方式係如第2圖所示。於該第2圖中該等虛擬按鍵係以QWERT鍵盤為例說明,且該等虛擬按鍵係具有預設標準尺寸。再者,該圖中亦同時包含電子產品2、觸控顯示面板4與虛擬輸入區域VA,但本發明之實施例並不侷限於此種鍵盤的排列方式與電子產品的形式。The step of inputting the programmable virtual keyboard is started in step S11, and a virtual input area is mounted on the operating system to operate the virtual input area by touching the touch display panel, and the virtual input area There are a plurality of virtual keys, and the virtual keys have preset standard sizes, respectively. Here, the virtual input area can be defined as a virtual keyboard, and the virtual keyboard has the virtual keys, and each of the virtual keys can correspond to a character key (eg, AZ, etc.), a character key (eg, ~! @等), numeric buttons (such as 0-9, etc.) and control buttons (Space, Ctrl, TAB, CAPs lock, etc.). In addition, the virtual button has a preset standard size for the user to touch, wherein the range of the preset standard size (or the touch area) indicates that the character, the character, the number are corresponding. As with the definition of the control, etc., the standard configuration is as shown in Fig. 2. In the second figure, the virtual keys are described by taking a QWERT keyboard as an example, and the virtual keys have preset standard sizes. Furthermore, the figure also includes the electronic product 2, the touch display panel 4 and the virtual input area VA, but the embodiment of the invention is not limited to the arrangement of the keyboard and the form of the electronic product.
接著步驟S12,係選擇性地按壓該等虛擬按鍵,以調整該等虛擬按鍵。於此,一併可再參考第2圖,於一實施例中,係可在經任意按壓該等虛擬按鍵之後,在該等虛擬按鍵附近產生至少一調整點AP,以使得使用者可藉由移動該調整點AP以調整該等虛擬按鍵。其中,該調整點AP係根據使用者所欲進行動作的按鍵而產生。於此,係以該調整點AP係鄰近於該虛擬按鍵“T”與“Y”為例說明。於其它實施例中,該虛擬按鍵係可為任意相鄰的虛擬按鍵。Next, in step S12, the virtual keys are selectively pressed to adjust the virtual keys. In this embodiment, the second figure may be further referred to. In an embodiment, at least one adjustment point AP may be generated in the vicinity of the virtual keys after the virtual buttons are pressed arbitrarily, so that the user can The adjustment point AP is moved to adjust the virtual keys. The adjustment point AP is generated according to a button that the user desires to operate. Here, the adjustment point AP is described as an example adjacent to the virtual buttons "T" and "Y". In other embodiments, the virtual button system can be any adjacent virtual button.
再接著步驟S13,係根據移動軌跡移動該等虛擬按鍵,以改變該等虛擬按鍵的該預設標準尺寸與改變在該虛擬輸入區域中該等虛擬按鍵顯示位置之至少其一者。於此,係於後詳細說明。Then, in step S13, the virtual keys are moved according to the movement trajectory to change the preset standard size of the virtual keys and change at least one of the virtual key display positions in the virtual input area. Here, it will be described in detail later.
參考第3圖,係本發明第二實施例之可編程虛擬鍵盤的輸入方法的方法流程圖。於第3圖中,該可編程虛擬鍵盤的輸入方法中的該步驟S13係可進一步說明為步驟S31,係根據移動軌跡移動該調整點,以在該等虛擬按鍵之間建立一自訂按鍵,且該自訂按鍵的尺寸係可藉由該調整點AP進行調整。於此,可一併可參考第4a圖,於第4a圖中,使用者係可藉由該移動軌跡MO朝著左右的方向拉伸,用以在例如該虛擬按鍵“T”與“Y”之間,建立該自訂按鍵SB,且該自訂按鍵SB的按鍵尺寸大小係正相關於該調整點AP根據該移動軌跡MO所移動的距離。換言之,當該移動軌跡MO係朝著左右的方向拉伸時,該自訂按鍵SB的尺寸係會隨之擴大;反之,若該移動軌跡MO係朝著兩該調整點AP的方向進行內縮時,則該自訂按鍵SB的尺寸係會隨之縮減。該第一輸入群組中該等虛擬按鍵的該預設標準尺寸的面積係根據該移動軌跡而增加或減少。此外,該自訂按鍵SB係可透過點選自訂的方式,由使用者自訂該等自訂按鍵SB所對應的該字元、該字符、該數字與該控制等的定義。其中,於一實施例中,該字元、該字符、該數字與該控制等的定義係可在內建的一個虛擬按鍵對應表中進行設定。Referring to Fig. 3, there is shown a flow chart of a method for inputting a programmable virtual keyboard according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, the step S13 in the input method of the programmable virtual keyboard can be further described as step S31, and the adjustment point is moved according to the movement track to establish a custom button between the virtual buttons. And the size of the custom button can be adjusted by the adjustment point AP. In this case, reference may be made to FIG. 4a. In FIG. 4a, the user can be stretched in the left and right directions by the moving track MO for, for example, the virtual buttons "T" and "Y". Between the custom button SB is established, and the button size of the custom button SB is positively related to the distance that the adjustment point AP moves according to the movement trajectory MO. In other words, when the movement track MO is stretched in the left-right direction, the size of the custom button SB is enlarged; otherwise, if the movement track MO is retracted toward the two adjustment points AP, When the size of the custom button SB is reduced, the size of the button SB is reduced. The area of the preset standard size of the virtual buttons in the first input group is increased or decreased according to the movement trajectory. In addition, the custom button SB can be customized by the user, and the user can customize the definition of the character, the character, the number, the control, and the like corresponding to the custom button SB. In one embodiment, the definition of the character, the character, the number, and the control may be set in a virtual key correspondence table built in.
再者,除前述實施例中可藉由該調整點AP以該移動軌跡MO移動而達到調整該自訂按鍵SB的按鍵尺寸大小外,在另一實施例中,係可一併參考第4b圖,使用者係同樣可藉由該移動軌跡MO朝著左右的方向拉伸,用以在例如該虛擬按鍵“T”與“Y”之間,建立該自訂按鍵SB,且於前述實施例不同的是,該自訂按鍵SB係不隨著該移動軌跡MO而調整該鍵盤尺寸的大小,而是隨著該移動軌跡MO移動至鄰近的該等虛擬鍵盤,例如該自訂按鍵SB係跟著虛擬按鍵“T”或虛擬按鍵“Y”所屬的列移動。值得注意的是,在虛擬按鍵“T”或虛擬按鍵“Y”之間除了該自訂按鍵SB外,更可分離成左區塊與右區塊的鍵盤區域。In addition, in addition to the foregoing embodiment, the adjustment point AP can be moved by the movement track MO to adjust the size of the button of the custom button SB. In another embodiment, the reference to FIG. 4b can be referred to. The user can also be stretched in the left and right direction by the movement track MO to establish the custom button SB between, for example, the virtual buttons "T" and "Y", and is different in the foregoing embodiment. The custom button SB does not adjust the size of the keyboard size along with the movement track MO, but moves to the adjacent virtual keyboards along with the movement track MO, for example, the custom button SB follows the virtual The column to which the button "T" or the virtual button "Y" belongs moves. It is worth noting that, besides the custom button SB, the virtual button "T" or the virtual button "Y" can be separated into keyboard regions of the left block and the right block.
又接著步驟S32,係重新界定該等虛擬按鍵之預設標準尺寸,以在該觸控顯示面板的顯示範圍內同時顯示該等虛擬按鍵與該自訂按鍵。於此,一併可參考第4圖,由於該自訂按鍵SB的建立,使得在原有的虛擬輸入區域VA的虛擬按鍵SB的數目增加,本發明係提供重新界定該等虛擬按鍵之預設標準尺寸,使得在該虛擬輸入區域VA係可容納該虛擬按鍵與該自訂按鍵SB。此外,隨著該自訂按鍵SB的擴大與縮小係會影響該預設標準尺寸。Then, in step S32, the preset standard sizes of the virtual buttons are redefined to display the virtual buttons and the custom buttons simultaneously in the display range of the touch display panel. Here, as can be referred to FIG. 4, since the number of virtual buttons SB in the original virtual input area VA is increased due to the establishment of the custom button SB, the present invention provides a preset standard for redefining the virtual buttons. The size is such that the virtual button and the custom button SB can be accommodated in the virtual input area VA. In addition, as the expansion and contraction of the custom button SB affects the preset standard size.
接著步驟S33,係根據該調整點選取鄰近該自訂按鍵的該等虛擬按鍵,以設定為第一輸入群組與第二輸入群組。於此,係可一併參考第4圖與第5圖,於第4圖中,位於該自訂按鍵SB左側的該等虛擬按鍵係被定義為第一輸入群組FG,以及右側的該等虛擬按鍵係被定義為第二輸入群組SG。接著參照第5圖,係使用者可藉由拉伸左側的該調整點AP,並以朝向上方的移動軌跡MO’進行移動,使得該第一輸入群組FG的高度係高於該自訂按鍵SB的高度,亦即該第一輸入群組FG與該自訂按鍵SB具有高度差h。於一實施例中,若使用者以前述相反(亦即向下的方向)拉伸左側的該調整點AP,將使得該第一輸入群組FG的高度係低於該自訂按鍵SB的高度。Next, in step S33, the virtual buttons adjacent to the custom button are selected according to the adjustment point to be set as the first input group and the second input group. Here, reference may be made to FIGS. 4 and 5 together. In FIG. 4, the virtual keys located on the left side of the custom button SB are defined as the first input group FG, and the right side of the The virtual key system is defined as the second input group SG. Referring to FIG. 5 , the user can move the adjustment point AP on the left side and move the movement track MO′ toward the upper side, so that the height of the first input group FG is higher than the custom button. The height of the SB, that is, the first input group FG and the custom button SB have a height difference h. In an embodiment, if the user stretches the adjustment point AP on the left side in the opposite direction (ie, the downward direction), the height of the first input group FG is lower than the height of the custom button SB. .
值得注意的是,該第一輸入群組FG中該等虛擬按鍵的該預設標準尺寸的面積係根據該移動軌跡MO’而增加或減少,亦即當改變該調整點AP的位置時,係改變該等虛擬按鍵的該預設標準尺寸的面積,例如該面積擴大使得該第一輸入群組FG具有該高度差h,而非使得該第一輸入群組FG脫離原有在該虛擬輸入區域VA的位置。It should be noted that the area of the preset standard size of the virtual buttons in the first input group FG is increased or decreased according to the movement trajectory MO′, that is, when the position of the adjustment point AP is changed, Changing an area of the preset standard size of the virtual buttons, for example, the area is enlarged such that the first input group FG has the height difference h instead of causing the first input group FG to be detached from the virtual input area The location of the VA.
此外,於一實施例中,該第一輸入群組FG係根據前述的作動,而使得該第一輸入群組FG係超出於或內縮於該虛擬輸入區域VA。In addition, in an embodiment, the first input group FG causes the first input group FG to exceed or contract to the virtual input area VA according to the foregoing operation.
參考第6圖,係本發明第三實施例之可編程虛擬鍵盤的輸入方法的方法流程圖。於第6圖中,於該步驟S32之後係接著步驟S61,係根據該調整點選取鄰近該自訂按鍵的該等虛擬按鍵,以設定為第一輸入群組、第二輸入群組與第三輸入群組。於此,一併參考第7圖,該第一輸入群組FG與該第二輸入群組SG的說明方式係與前述實施例相同,而該第三輸入群組TG係維持地固定在於原來該虛擬輸入區域VA的位置,而不隨該第一輸入群組FG與該第二輸入群組SG的移動而改變。不同的是,於此實施例中,該第三輸入群組TG係除維持地固定在於原來該虛擬輸入區域VA的位置外,該第三輸入群組TG所圍繞的面積係大於原先該第三輸入群組TG之該預設標準尺寸所圍繞的面積。換言之,該第三輸入群組TG係可提供使用者使用具有相較於原先該第三輸入群組TG大的觸控面積,例如該第三輸入群組TG係可為空白按鍵(SPACE)。Referring to FIG. 6, a flowchart of a method for inputting a programmable virtual keyboard according to a third embodiment of the present invention is shown. In FIG. 6 , after step S32, step S61 is followed, and the virtual buttons adjacent to the custom button are selected according to the adjustment point to be set as the first input group, the second input group, and the third Enter the group. Herein, referring to FIG. 7, the first input group FG and the second input group SG are described in the same manner as the foregoing embodiment, and the third input group TG is maintained fixedly in the original The position of the virtual input area VA does not change with the movement of the first input group FG and the second input group SG. The difference is that, in this embodiment, the third input group TG is smaller than the original third area, except that the position of the virtual input area VA is fixed. Enter the area surrounded by the preset standard size of the group TG. In other words, the third input group TG can provide the user with a larger touch area than the original third input group TG. For example, the third input group TG can be a blank button (SPACE).
參考第8圖,係本發明第四實施例之可編程虛擬鍵盤的輸入方法的方法流程圖。於第8圖中,該可編程虛擬鍵盤的輸入方法係更包含步驟S81,係選取該等虛擬按鍵之至少其一者並移動超出該虛擬輸入區域以形成快捷按鍵,且在該虛擬輸入區域保留原有該虛擬按鍵外或者遺留下可再重新對形成該快捷按鍵而在該虛擬輸入區域中所遺留下的虛擬按鍵空間進行按鍵空間配置。於此,係可一併參考第9圖,可自該等虛擬鍵盤中選取一個該虛擬按鍵VB,且該虛擬按鍵係移動超出該虛擬輸入區域VA,而經移出的該虛擬按鍵VB係在原有該虛擬輸入區域VA遺留下一個虛擬按鍵空間VBS。Referring to FIG. 8, a flowchart of a method for inputting a programmable virtual keyboard according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention is shown. In FIG. 8, the input method of the programmable virtual keyboard further includes step S81, selecting at least one of the virtual keys and moving beyond the virtual input area to form a shortcut button, and retaining in the virtual input area. The original virtual button or the leftover may be used to perform key space configuration on the virtual button space left in the virtual input area. In this case, reference may be made to FIG. 9 , and one virtual key VB may be selected from the virtual keyboards, and the virtual key system moves beyond the virtual input area VA, and the removed virtual key VB is in the original The virtual input area VA leaves a virtual key space VBS.
接著步驟S82,係判斷鄰近於該虛擬按鍵空間的該等虛擬按鍵是否為空白按鍵。於此,若判斷鄰近該虛擬按鍵空間VBS的按鍵係該空白按鍵時,則接著執行步驟S83,係當該虛擬按鍵係為空白按鍵時,合併該虛擬按鍵空間VBS與該空白按鍵以增加該空白按鍵之該預設標準尺寸所圍繞的面積。於此,又可一併參照第10圖,該空白按鍵係合併該虛擬按鍵空間VBS的面積,使得該空白按鍵的面積較先前的面積為大(例如第9圖中該空白按鍵的面積)。Next, in step S82, it is determined whether the virtual keys adjacent to the virtual button space are blank buttons. In this case, if it is determined that the button adjacent to the virtual button space VBS is the blank button, then step S83 is performed, when the virtual button is a blank button, the virtual button space VBS and the blank button are merged to increase the blank. The area around which the preset standard size of the button is. In this case, referring to FIG. 10, the blank button combines the area of the virtual button space VBS such that the area of the blank button is larger than the previous area (for example, the area of the blank button in FIG. 9).
於此,若判斷鄰近該虛擬按鍵空間VBS的按鍵係非為該空白按鍵時,則執行步驟S84,係當該虛擬按鍵係非為空白按鍵且同時該虛擬按鍵空間二側的該等虛擬按鍵之其中一者亦鄰近該空白按鍵時,選取位於該虛擬按鍵空間與該空白按鍵之間的該虛擬按鍵,並交換該虛擬按鍵與該虛擬按鍵空間的位置。於此,可一併參照第11圖,當虛擬按鍵空間VBS鄰近的該虛擬按鍵非為該空白按鍵時,則進一步判斷鄰近虛擬按鍵空間VBS的該等虛擬按鍵之何者係又鄰近該空白按鍵,以此為例該虛擬按鍵VC係滿足該條件。故該虛擬按鍵VC係與該虛擬按鍵空間VBS交換,以形成如第12圖的狀態。In this case, if it is determined that the button adjacent to the virtual button space VBS is not the blank button, step S84 is performed, when the virtual button is not a blank button and the virtual buttons on the two sides of the virtual button space are simultaneously When one of the blank buttons is adjacent to the blank button, the virtual button located between the virtual button space and the blank button is selected, and the position of the virtual button and the virtual button space is exchanged. In this case, referring to FIG. 11 , when the virtual button adjacent to the virtual button space VBS is not the blank button, it is further determined which of the virtual buttons adjacent to the virtual button space VBS is adjacent to the blank button. Taking this as an example, the virtual key VC satisfies this condition. Therefore, the virtual key VC is exchanged with the virtual key space VBS to form a state as shown in FIG.

Here, referring to FIG. 14 together, the virtual button space VBS is generated by moving the blank button to the shortcut button, and if there is another virtual button space in the virtual input area VA at this time. The VBS may consider whether to move the virtual keys adjacent to the blank button to the virtual key space VBS outside the virtual key space VBS that is not generated by the blank key.
此外在步驟S131之後更可接著步驟S132,係在該虛擬輸入區域刪除整行或整列皆為該虛擬按鍵空間的行或列。若該虛擬按鍵空間VBS係的數量係足以移動鄰近該空白按鍵所產生的該虛擬按鍵空間VBS的該等虛擬按鍵,使得可如同第15圖所示,該虛擬輸入區域VA內的該等虛擬鍵盤的行數較第14圖中的該等虛擬鍵盤的行數為少。其中,缺少的行係皆為該虛擬按鍵空間。於另一實施例中上述的狀態係同樣也適用同列皆為該虛擬按鍵空間時,刪除全部皆為該虛擬按鍵空間的該列。In addition, after step S131, step S132 is further performed, in which the entire row or the entire column is deleted as a row or column of the virtual key space. If the number of virtual key space VBS systems is sufficient to move the virtual keys adjacent to the virtual key space VBS generated by the blank keys, such virtual keyboards in the virtual input area VA can be as shown in FIG. The number of rows is less than the number of rows of the virtual keyboards in Figure 14. Among them, the missing line is the virtual button space.
