Description

可使用控件操作主機的顯示器You can use the controls to manipulate the display of the host

  本發明是有關於一種顯示器,且特別是有關於一種可使用控件操作主機的顯示器。This invention relates to a display, and more particularly to a display that can operate a host using a control.

  目前具有觸控功能的顯示器,普遍應用於行動裝置,但隨著觸控技術的成熟化,生產成本也隨之降低,在可預見的未來將會有更多不同應用領域的顯示器具有觸控功能,比如桌上型電腦的顯示器。以具有觸控功能的桌上型電腦的顯示器來說,一般會以通用序列匯流排(Universal Serial Bus,USB)傳輸介面來連接顯示器與主機,顯示器所產生的觸控訊號會透過USB傳送至主機,具體而言,使用者是透過顯示器所具有的觸控模組以及USB傳輸介面,以觸控操作的方式來操作主機的作業系統。但是在某些作業環境下,比如畫精密工程圖的情況,觸控操作可能會遇到精確度不足的問題,因此若能以實體按鍵來輔助與微調應能提高觸控操作上的精確度。另外,現有的顯示器一般會設置有用以調整螢幕顯示(On-Screen Display,OSD)選單的控件,比如設置在顯示器的外殼的複數實體按鍵,不過這些按鍵除了調整OSD選單之外別無它用,因此在絕大多數時候這些按鍵是處於閒置的狀態。但是,若要進一步利用這些按鍵亦有困難,因為這些按鍵和主機之間一般並不存在有電性連接的關係。因此,如何利用這些既存的按鍵並輔助觸控操作,仍有待提出解決方案。

Currently, touch-enabled displays are commonly used in mobile devices, but as touch technology matures, production costs also decrease, and more diverse applications in the foreseeable future will have touch functions. , such as the display of a desktop computer. For a display with a touch-enabled desktop computer, a universal serial bus (USB) transmission interface is generally used to connect the display to the host, and the touch signal generated by the display is transmitted to the host through the USB. Specifically, the user operates the host operating system in a touch operation manner through the touch module and the USB transmission interface of the display. However, in some operating environments, such as the drawing of precision drawings, the touch operation may encounter the problem of insufficient accuracy. Therefore, if the physical button can be used to assist and fine-tune, the accuracy of the touch operation should be improved. In addition, existing displays typically have controls that can be used to adjust the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu, such as multiple physical buttons placed on the display's housing, but these buttons have no use other than adjusting the OSD menu. Therefore, most of the time these buttons are in an idle state. However, it is also difficult to further utilize these buttons because there is generally no electrical connection between these buttons and the host. Therefore, how to use these existing buttons and assist the touch operation still needs to propose a solution.

In step S105, each time the mode switching key 172 is pressed, it is sequentially switched between different operation modes.

  步驟S107為切換至觸控操作模式1713,此操作模式為使用顯示器100的觸控功能操作主機200,步驟S109與S111為觸控操作模式1713的運作流程。在步驟S109中,使用者觸碰顯示面板150,使觸控模組130的感測單元131產生訊號,並由觸控控制單元132將產生的訊號處理為主機200可辨識的座標訊號與點擊訊號。在步驟S111中,座標訊號與點擊訊號被傳送至主機200。Step S107 is to switch to the touch operation mode 1713. The operation mode is to operate the host 200 by using the touch function of the display 100. Steps S109 and S111 are the operation flow of the touch operation mode 1713. In step S109, the user touches the display panel 150 to cause the sensing unit 131 of the touch module 130 to generate a signal, and the touch control unit 132 processes the generated signal into a coordinate signal and a click signal recognizable by the host 200. . In step S111, the coordinate signal and the click signal are transmitted to the host 200.

  步驟S113為切換至滑鼠操作模式1711,此操作模式為使用顯示器100的控件並搭配觸控功能來操作主機200,步驟S115至S121為滑鼠操作模式1711的運作流程。在步驟S115中,使用者操作實體控件173產生原始訊號,以及觸碰顯示面板150使觸控模組130產生座標訊號,並且此時觸控模組130不會產生點擊訊號,換言之,是以實體控件173輔助觸控模組130進行更精細的移動並代替觸控模組130進行點擊。在步驟S117中,控件控制單元171將原始訊號模擬為實體滑鼠訊號,具體而言,是分別將操作左鍵1731、右鍵1732與滾輪1734時的訊號模擬為點擊滑鼠左鍵、右鍵以及滑動滾輪時的訊號,在本實施例中,方向鍵1733可模擬為具有左右橫移功能的滑鼠滾輪的左右位移訊號。在步驟S119中,實體滑鼠訊號傳送至觸控模組130。在步驟S121中,座標訊號與實體滑鼠訊號經過觸控控制單元132處理後傳送至主機200。Step S113 is to switch to the mouse operation mode 1711.

In step S115, the user operates the physical control 173 to generate the original signal, and touches the display panel 150 to cause the touch module 130 to generate the coordinate signal, and the touch module 130 does not generate the click signal, in other words, is the entity. The control 173 assists the touch module 130 to perform finer movement and replaces the touch module 130 for clicking. In step S117, the control unit 171 simulates the original signal as a physical mouse signal. Specifically, the signals when the left button 1731, the right button 1732 and the wheel 1734 are operated are respectively simulated as a left click, a right button, and a slide. In the present embodiment, the direction key 1733 can be simulated as a left and right displacement signal of the mouse wheel having the left and right traverse function. In step S119, the physical mouse signal is transmitted to the touch module 130.

  步驟S123為OSD操作模式1712,此操作模式為操作顯示器100的OSD選單,步驟S125與S127為OSD操作模式1712的運作流程。在步驟S125中,實體控件173產生原始訊號以及觸控模組130產生座標訊號與點擊訊號,且控件控制單元171僅接收並傳送原始訊號而不需進一步處理。在步驟S127中,原始訊號、座標訊號與點擊訊號被傳送至OSD模組160,OSD模組160具有OSD選單,以提供使用者透過OSD選單調整顯示器100的相關設定,換言之,使用者在此操作模式可同時使用顯示器100的控件與觸控功能來操作顯示器100的OSD選單。Step S123 is an OSD operation mode 1712, which is an OSD menu for operating the display 100, and steps S125 and S127 are operational flows of the OSD operation mode 1712. In step S125, the physical control 173 generates the original signal and the touch module 130 generates the coordinate signal and the click signal, and the control unit 171 receives and transmits only the original signal without further processing. In step S127, the original signal, the coordinate signal and the click signal are transmitted to the OSD module 160. The OSD module 160 has an OSD menu to provide the user with the related settings of the display 100 through the OSD menu. In other words, the user operates here. The mode can use the controls and touch functions of display 100 to operate the OSD menu of display 100 at the same time.

  步驟S129為自訂操作模式1714,此操作模式為使用者可將顯示器100的控件設定為主機200可使用的快捷鍵,以快捷鍵功能操作主機200,步驟S131至S137為自訂操作模式1714的運作流程。在步驟S131中,實體控件173產生原始訊號,觸控模組130產生座標訊號與點擊訊號。在步驟S133中,原始訊號被控件控制單元171模擬為主機200可辨識的快捷鍵訊號。在步驟S135中,快捷鍵訊號被傳送至觸控模組130。在步驟S137中,快捷鍵訊號、座標訊號與點擊訊號經過觸控控制單元132處理後傳送至主機200。在另一較佳實施例中,在自訂操作模式下,使用者亦可透過虛擬鍵盤以快捷鍵操作主機。Step S129 is a custom operation mode 1714. The operation mode is that the user can set the control of the display 100 as a shortcut key that can be used by the host 200, and operate the host 200 with the shortcut key function, and the steps S131 to S137 are the custom operation mode 1714. operation flow. In step S131, the physical control 173 generates an original signal, and the touch module 130 generates a coordinate signal and a click signal. In step S133, the original signal is simulated by the control control unit 171 as a shortcut key signal recognizable by the host 200. In step S135, the shortcut key signal is transmitted to the touch module 130. In step S137, the shortcut key signal, the coordinate signal and the click signal are processed by the touch control unit 132 and transmitted to the host 200.
