Description

Touch screen sliding operation method

The present invention relates to a sliding operation method for a touch screen, and more particularly to a sliding operation method for connecting an audio signal.

At present, interactive devices such as a keyboard, a mouse, a trackpad, a digital tablet, etc., provide various control modes for the user to interact with the computer, thereby realizing more and more precise manipulation and interactivity.

Among them, the touch screens that can be applied to tablet computers and smart phones are most favored by the consumers. At the same time, the functions of the display screen and the track board are combined, so that the user can conveniently and intuitively operate on the touch screen. Replace the keyboard, mouse and trackpad with additional control devices.

However, the operation of the touch screen must be on the screen and touch the function icon with a finger to enable the product function. Inconveniently, for many users who have presbyopia due to their age, it is often difficult to accurately select the function icons to perform the correct functions in the absence of reading glasses and operating on the touch screen. Therefore, the touch screen was originally created to provide convenience for the consumer. Under the above circumstances, the elderly are forced to add extra trouble and reduce their willingness to use.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sliding operation method for connecting an audio signal during a sliding operation so that a user can operate a product function corresponding to an audio signal by hearing rather than visually.

Therefore, one embodiment of the method of the present invention provides a sliding operation method for a touch screen, wherein the sliding operation connects at least two different sound signals, and the sound signal is output according to a sliding sounding principle, and The sound signal corresponds to the two product functions, and is used for the user to select different sound functions by selecting different sound signals (using hearing instead of visual) during the sliding operation. Specifically stated here:

Different audio signals refer to any two different audio signals that the user can distinguish; different product functions, in the present invention, refer to two different functional tasks, such as dialing two different telephone numbers, which is considered Different product features; playing two different songs, also considered different product features. Moreover, since the visual and auditory in nature are different, a plurality of visual options can be presented to the user at the same time for selection, but the audio signals can only be presented one by one for selection, so the present invention embeds the user's sliding. In operation, the user can control the pronunciation rate by the speed of the slide so that it can be clearly identified and the correct choice is made.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the utterance principle is: if a sliding distance, a sliding speed, a sliding time or a sliding direction of the sliding operation meets a preset value, an audible signal is emitted. When an audible signal is emitted, the finger is in a sliding state, which can be followed by a variety of sensible changing actions: such as the finger leaving the screen, the sliding finger changing the sliding direction, touching the screen with another finger, and the like. By adapting each change action to a different function, the user can obtain multiple manipulations here, that is, the user can make different changes. To operate different functions. It is worth mentioning that there is a special corresponding function: the sliding finger changes the sliding direction, enters another stage of the sliding operation, and repeatedly changes the sliding direction to establish a systematic operation structure like a multi-layer folder.

The method of the present invention, which replaces vision with hearing, is developed to help people with poor vision, and its efficacy is obvious. For a person with normal vision, if the invention is used as an auxiliary operation method, it can still be greatly assisted. For example, when the user's eyes are looking at the display screen (for example, watching a movie), the present invention can pass the sound signal, so that the user can perform background control without occupying the screen. In addition, when the user urgently needs to perform certain functions in certain situations, the product function can be quickly activated through the present invention even if the display is not turned on on the screen. Moreover, the present invention has great flexibility because of its independent architecture. In addition to the preset, the user can also change the setting through the chat window: the user can select the function to be controlled (for example, the user can set the corresponding sound signal). The function of the product is to take pictures, photograph, play songs or other functions), and the sound signals corresponding to the functions of the products can be input by themselves, which does not affect the smooth operation of the present invention. It can be seen that the present invention is applicable to most users with normal vision, not just those with poor vision. The invention is simple to slide and call various product functions on the touch screen, and its direct and fast manipulation is like operating virtual shortcut keys, so that electronic products with touch screens, especially mobile phones, add new convenience.

A microcomputer product with a touch screen, in which the product functions are usually arranged in parallel on the screen by a corresponding graphic (or text), allowing the user to select an icon with "eyes" and finger Click on the icon to launch the product features corresponding to the icon. In the present invention, the audio signal is used instead of the graphic, so that each product function corresponds to the sound signal, and each sound signal is sent one by one in a serial manner, so that the user selects an audio signal from the series by "ear" and Respond to activate the product function corresponding to the voice signal. The sound signal can be the various scales or corresponding products expressed by the instrument. The real-life voice of the product function can also provide various voice signals provided by the user.

The sliding operation of the finger on the touch screen can be long or short, the sliding speed can be fast or slow, and can be completely controlled by the user. This feature is suitable for connecting the serial sound signals, so After the "sliding sounding principle" is used to link the sliding operation with the sound signal, the user can follow the "sliding sounding principle" to call out the respective sound signals through the sliding operation.

The principle of sliding sound can be differently planned according to the characteristics of various products, such as:

Principle a: In a tablet computer, an audio signal is sent in sequence for each slide of 1.5 cm, and a sound signal is sent in reverse rotation every 1 cm, and the contact edge line stops emitting an audio signal.

Principle b: In a smart phone, an audio signal is sent in sequence for each slide of 1 cm, and a sound signal is sent in reverse reverse every 0.7 cm, and the contact edge stops emitting an audio signal.

Principle c: In a smart watch, after the sliding direction starts to slide, the sliding direction changes by more than 150 degrees, and an audible signal is sequentially emitted, and the contact edge line stops emitting an audible signal.

Principle d: In a smart phone, when the sliding direction changes more than 150 degrees after starting to slide, if the sliding distance is less than 3 cm, an audible signal is sequentially issued; if the sliding distance is greater than 3 cm, an audible signal is sent in reverse.

The above sliding distance and sliding angle are merely illustrative, and are not limited herein. The sliding sounding principle not only provides the sliding data as described above for verification, but also shapes the sliding mode of the user. For example, the foregoing principle a and principle b are linear sliding, and principle c and principle d are sliding back and forth for a short distance.

When an audible signal is emitted, the finger is in a sliding state, which can be followed by a variety of sensible change actions, and thus can be used to manipulate various product functions, such as:

1. When an audible signal is emitted, the sliding finger stops sliding and leaves the screen. This change action can be used to activate the product function corresponding to the audio signal.

2. Touch the screen with another finger next to it when an audio signal is sent. This change action can be used to activate multiple product functions simultaneously.

3. The sliding finger changes the sliding direction when an audible signal is emitted, and the changing action is used to enter another stage of the sliding operation.

In the actual product, in addition to the preset, a chat window can also be provided, allowing the user to select the product function to be controlled to meet the individual needs.

The implementation of the present invention will be briefly described above with reference to a flow chart. Please refer to FIG. The sliding operation method 100 is as follows: Step 110: preset a sliding sounding principle and a plurality of sound signals, each of which corresponds to a product function. Step 120, sensing sliding data of a continuous sliding operation: distance, time, direction, speed. In step 130, in the sliding operation, the sliding data is compared according to the preset sliding sounding principle. Step 140: In the sliding operation, if the sliding sounding principle is met, each sound signal is sequentially issued. Step 150: In the sliding operation, when an audio signal is sent, if the user makes a preset response, the product function corresponding to the audio signal is activated. For example, when an audio signal is sent, the sliding finger stops sliding and leaves the screen to activate the product function corresponding to the audio signal; or touches the screen with another finger to activate multiple product functions at the same time; or changes with a sliding finger Sliding direction, entering another stage of sliding operation.

In order to explain the detailed operation mode of FIG. 1 in more detail, please refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B simultaneously, which are diagrams according to one embodiment of the present invention. A schematic diagram of the operation of a sliding operation method of the touch screen 200. In this embodiment, the user's finger is slid in the lower left corner of the touch screen 200, so that it can be separated from the currently used sliding gesture without interfering with the original sliding gesture. The present embodiment is only described by the sliding distance of the sliding operation. When the user's finger moves by a first sliding distance DA, the first sliding distance DA conforms to the preset sliding sounding principle, so that the touch screen 200 emits a The sound signal, in this embodiment, the sound signal can be "scale DO". When the user hears "Scale DO", you can understand one of the product functions corresponding to this "Scale", such as photo. When the user hears "Scale DO", the finger can leave the screen to turn on the photo function. However, if the user hears that the "scale" DO finger has not left the screen and continues to slide to the second sliding distance DB, the second sliding distance DB conforms to the preset sliding sounding principle, so that the touch screen 200 emits an audio signal. Scale RE". When the user hears "Scale RE", you can understand one of the product functions corresponding to this "Scale RE", such as photography. When the user hears "Scale RE", the finger can leave the screen to turn on the photography function. In this way, the user can activate the function of the product to be used by using the sound signal, without taking the time to find the function icon, especially when the touch screen 200 is mounted on the smart phone with a small window, the user can omit the tight touch. The control screen 200 finds the steps of the function illustration.

In another embodiment, in order to separate the existing sliding operation, the user slides the touch screen 200 with the finger to perform the sliding operation. As shown in FIG. 3A, the user wants to open multiple simultaneously in one sliding operation. Product features (such as turning on "flashlight" and "photography" in a dim environment), when the sound signal is emitted, touch the touch screen 200 with another finger. As shown in Figure 3B, multiple product functions can be activated at the same time.

In still another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, the sound signal emitted by the finger sliding to the first sliding distance DA indicates the sliding starting point of a sub-layer sliding operation, that is, the finger changes the sliding direction here (by The horizontal sliding is changed to straight sliding, that is, the secondary sliding operation is started. For details, please refer to FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B and FIG. 4C, which respectively illustrate an operation diagram of the sliding operation method, a schematic diagram of the sub-layer sliding operation of the sliding operation method, and a schematic diagram of the re-layer sliding operation of the sliding operation method. For example, when the finger slides in the horizontal direction, a human voice "telephone" is issued at the first sliding distance DA, and when the user hears the real voice "telephone", the finger slides down to start the sub-layer sliding operation (not shown). ). During the sub-layer sliding operation, the human voice "Xiaoming" is emitted at the first layer sliding distance DA1, and the human voice "Xiaoying" is issued at the second layer sliding distance DA2, when the user hears the real voice "Xiaoying" The sliding finger stops sliding and leaves the screen, and can be dialed to Xiaoying. If the sliding direction is not changed at the first sliding distance DA and continues to slide (as in FIG. 4B), a human voice "song" is issued at the second sliding distance DB. When the user hears the live voice "song", the user slides down the finger to start the sub-layer sliding operation. During the sub-layer sliding operation, the human voice "Lullaby" is emitted at the first layer sliding distance DB1, and the live voice "Christmas song" is issued at the second layer sliding distance DB2, when the user hears the live voice "Christmas song" The sliding finger stops sliding and leaves the screen to play the track.

In addition, if there are too many "songs", you can slide the sub-layer to connect four live-action voices "Taiwanese", "English", "Mandarin" and "Japanese", and then add a third layer of sliding under the sub-layer sliding. . Therefore, when the sub-layer slides, the human voice "Taiwanese" is emitted at the first layer sliding distance DB1, and the human voice "English" is issued at the second layer sliding distance DB2, and the third layer sliding distance is obtained. The human voice "Mandarin" is issued from the DB3. When the user hears the human voice "Mandarin", the sliding finger can change the sliding direction here (for example, straight slide and then change the cross slide) to enter the layer slide operation again. The layer sliding distance DB3a emits a human voice "Lullaby", and at the second layer sliding distance DB3b, a human voice "Christmas song" is issued. When the user hears the live voice "Christmas song", the sliding finger stops sliding and leaves the screen. This track can be played. As shown in the above embodiment, planning more levels of sliding is like creating a multi-layered folder, which can develop a systematic operation structure, so that users can obtain richer and more diversified maneuverability.

The sound performance in the above embodiment can also be a manifestation of vibration. In addition, the performance of the sound can be distinguished by different output functions by the output scale of the sound. Similarly, the performance of the vibration can also distinguish different product functions by the intensity of the vibration. Only if the product connected by the sliding operation has too many functions, and only the intensity of the vibration is insufficient to distinguish the aforementioned excessive product functions, the output time can be combined to combine various identifiable rhythms to correspond to different product functions. The verification method of the inductive sliding operation is not limited to the sliding distance of the sliding operation, and other such as the sliding time (for example, a scale prompt is issued every 0.5 seconds), and the sliding speed (for example, the faster the sliding speed is, the faster the scale prompt is issued) It is a well-known technology for those skilled in the art, so the other verification methods that can achieve the sensing sliding operation can be applied in the present embodiment.

In addition, in order to avoid overlapping with the current touch screen sliding operation, some sliding operations can be separated from the conventional sliding operation to avoid interference with the sliding operations commonly used by current users, for example:

1. Finger flat screen slide

2. The finger starts to slide from the lower left or lower right corner of the screen.

3. Fingers slide from the left or right border of the screen

Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and the present invention can be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached.
