When using electronic devices to view digital content, it is often necessary to find approximate or identical data in the entire digital content. The setting must be switched back and forth between the two applications, and the two digital contents are compared to find the same or the same. data of.

The aforementioned problems are relatively easy to solve in desktop computers and notebook computers. If it is the same digital content, the user can divide the execution window of the application into two parts through the operating system or the built-in function of the application, one part locks the specific data, and the other part quickly Digital content browsing. Another method is to use the image capture program to first capture the image file of the image when the specific data is displayed on the display, and then open the image file with another image program. Then, through the horizontal or vertical side-by-side operation of the two windows (the built-in function of the operating system of the desktop computer), the image file and the digital content are compared.

The foregoing operation mode is only suitable for a desktop computer or a notebook computer. Generally speaking, the handheld electronic device does not provide a function for simultaneously displaying two executable programs in the foreground, so the user must repeatedly and two Switch between programs. In the case of the same digital content, the user must repeatedly browse back and forth through the data to find similar or identical data.

The invention further provides a method for generating a partial static picture, which is suitable for the aforementioned electronic device for generating and displaying a partial still picture in a dynamic picture. The method first sets a partial static hot key with a control module for issuing a trigger command; then the control module continuously outputs a dynamic picture to the display to cause the display to display a dynamic picture. The control module continuously determines whether the local static hotkey issues a trigger command; when the local static hotkey issues a trigger command, the control module loads a frame selection value to generate a static frame in the dynamic picture. The control module then captures the current still image in the still frame; and generates and displays a partial still picture in the still frame according to the captured current still image, and partially overlaps the dynamic picture.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, which illustrate an electronic device 100 capable of generating a partial still picture according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the electronic device 100 displays the continuously changing dynamic picture M when executing the application 112, it may partially freeze to form a partial still picture P for the user to display the information displayed on the partial still picture P and Continuously changing information in the dynamic picture M. The foregoing electronic device 100 can be a desktop computer, an All-In-One Desktop Computer, a Laptop Computer, a Tablet Computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), Smart Phone, Portable Navigation Device (PND), etc.

As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic device 100 includes a storage module 110, an input module 120, a control module 130, and a display 140. The storage module 110, the input module 120, and the display 140 are respectively powered. The connection is made to the control module 130. In addition, the electronic device 100 further includes other functional modules to provide different functions according to the functional requirements of the electronic device 100. The function module can be an independently arranged electronic component and electrically connected to the control module 130. Alternatively, the function module can be a hardware circuit or a software module, and is coupled to the control module 130.

As shown in FIG. 2, the storage module 110 is configured to store an operating system 111, an application 112, and a partial static function code 113 for providing a temporary storage space for program execution. When the electronic device 100 is a computer, the storage module 110 usually includes a combination of a memory and a hard disk. The operating system 111, the application program 112, and the local static function code 113 are installed or stored on the hard disk and loaded. Memory execution. When the electronic device 100 is the portable electronic device 100, the storage module 110 is usually a flash storage device and is divided into a storage memory and a program memory. The storage memory system is used to store data, and the program memory is used to store the operating system 111 and is used as a temporary storage space for the program execution; the application 112 and the local static function code 113 can be stored or installed in the storage memory according to their properties or Program memory.

As shown in "1" and "2", the input module 120 is configured to issue a trigger command T. The input module 120 can be a button group or a touch panel. When the input module 120 is a button group, the local static hot button may be one of a plurality of physical buttons, or a combination of multiple physical buttons. When the input module 120 is a touch panel, the input module 120 is disposed on the display 140. At this time, the display 140 can display a virtual button, and the partial static hot button is the area of the touch panel corresponding to the virtual button on the display 140. , the touch panel can be operated to issue the trigger command T.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the control module 130 is configured to load and execute the operating system 111 from the storage module 110 for booting the electronic device 100. After the power is turned on, the control module 130 loads and executes the application 112 to continuously generate a dynamic picture M, and generates a driving signal S according to the dynamic picture M. At the same time, the control module 130 loads and executes the local static function code 113 after booting to set a partial static hot key in the input module 120 to issue a trigger command T.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the display 140 is configured to receive the driving signal S from the control module 130 to display the dynamic picture M.

When the user operates the local static hotkey, the local static hotkey issues a trigger command T to the control module 130. At this time, the control module 130 loads a frame selection value to generate a static frame in the dynamic image M. F; then control the module 130 and capture the current still image in the static frame F to generate and display a partial static picture P; finally, the control module 130 will display the partial static picture P in the stationary frame F, The overlay is locally overlapped on the dynamic picture M.

When the dynamic picture M continues to dynamically change with the operation of the electronic device 100, the partial still picture P in the still frame F remains unchanged for the user to compare the dynamic picture M and the partial still picture P.

When the local static hotkey issues a trigger command T and the local static picture P is partially overlaid on the dynamic picture M, the control module 130 cancels the static frame F and removes the partial still picture P. That is to say, in the process of displaying the partial still picture P, if the trigger command T is received again, the control module 130 will stop the display of the partial still picture P.

In addition, the partial static picture P can be translated through the operation of the input module 120. When the input module 120 is a button group, one of the physical buttons, or a combination of a plurality of physical buttons, the multi-directional input button can be used to issue a moving direction command corresponding to a moving direction in the dynamic picture M. When the input module 120 issues the moving direction command, the control module 130 receives the moving direction command, and translates the partial still picture P on the dynamic picture M according to the direction specified by the moving direction instruction.

When the input module 120 is a touch panel, the touch panel corresponds to a region of the partial static image P, and can be a pan motion triggering region. When the pan motion trigger region is operated to generate a moving track, the moving track can be used as a moving direction command. The control module 130 translates the partial still picture P according to the moving track in the dynamic picture M.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the application example of the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device 100 further includes a positioning module 150 electrically connected to the control module 130. The positioning module 150 can be, but is not limited to, globally. Satellite positioning module 150. The application 112 can be a program that provides an electronic map, such as a navigation program.

As shown in FIG. 3, after the application 112 is loaded and executed, the control module 130 activates the positioning module 150 to obtain the current positioning information, and can be provided in the application 112 according to the current positioning information. A corresponding portion is found in the map, and a dynamic picture M is generated to drive the display 140 for display. In addition, the user can also translate the displayed image through the operation of the input module 120 to first move the map displayed by the dynamic image M to a specific location; or switch to another program to display the previously acquired image. Specific area map image.

As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, at this time, the user can issue the trigger signal T by operating the local static hotkey, and generate a frame selection value by the input module 120. After the control module 130 receives the input of the frame selection value by the input module 120, the control module 130 loads the frame selection value to generate a stationary frame F in the current dynamic picture M.

The manner of generating the frame selection value by the input module 120 for loading by the control module 130 includes:

1. The shape of the stationary frame F is preset, for example, a polygonal type (including a rectangle) or a circle; and the frame selection value is a coordinate of a center point coordinate of the stationary frame F and a boundary of the stationary frame F with respect to a coordinate of the center point. position. The user can specify a point in the dynamic picture M as the center point through the input module 120; for example, the input module 120 moves a cursor to the designated point, or when the input module 120 is a touch panel, the user can Directly touch the specified point. When the user operates the input module 120, the center point coordinates of the stationary frame F and the relative position of the boundary of the stationary frame F with respect to the center point coordinate are transmitted to the controller as frame selection values.

2. The stationary frame F is a rectangular shape. The frame selection value is a coordinate value of the stationary frame F with respect to the two corners. The user can specify two points in the dynamic picture M as the two corners through the input module 120; for example, the input module 120 moves a cursor to a specified point, and then moves to another designated point; or when the input module When 120 is a touch panel, the user can directly touch the designated points in sequence. When the user operates the input module 120, the coordinate value of the stationary frame F relative to the two corners is transmitted to the controller as a frame selection value.

As shown in "Figure 5", the application 112 (navigation program) is in the navigation process, although the dynamic picture M is obtained with the positioning module 150. The front positioning information is constantly changing, but the partial static picture P in the static frame F (for example, the area that the user wants to go) will remain unchanged. At this time, the user can compare the dynamic static image M with the local static in the static frame F. Picture P, to determine if it is close to the target.

As shown in "Fig. 6," the partial still picture P in the still frame F can set a transparency. The transparency is 0% in full transparency (that is, the content of the partial still picture P is not displayed), and the corresponding dynamic picture M is completely covered in the still frame F to have a transparency of 100%.

When the transparency is set to be less than 100% and greater than 0%, the partial still picture P is superimposed on the dynamic picture M, instead of completely covering the corresponding dynamic picture M in the still frame F, so the user can still view the partial static The picture P overlaps the dynamic picture M of the portion to maintain the integrity of the message provided by the dynamic picture M.

In addition, the scale between the partial still picture P and the dynamic picture M is not limited to 1 to 1. For example, the partial still picture P may be an enlarged partial still picture, and the dynamic picture M still maintains the original size.

When the user sends the trigger signal T again by operating the local static hotkey, since the static frame F and the partial still picture P already exist, the control module 130 stops the display of the partial still picture P, and restores the normal motion picture M. display.

The foregoing "figure 4" to "figure 6" are merely illustrative and are not the only application mode of the present invention. Another application of the present invention can be the reading of a text file. For example, when an e-book reader is opened as the application 112 to read a text file, the user can flip the page to the comment bar, and select a specific annotation in the annotation column by setting the still frame F. Then the user reads the text file content from the beginning, and the previously selected specific annotation will continue to be displayed in the static frame F in the static frame F, so that the user can read the text file content while comparing the previously selected specific annotation.

Referring to the "FIG. 7" and "Figure 8", based on the electronic device 100 described above, the present invention provides a method for generating a partial still picture P, which is suitable for an electronic device 100 having a display 140 for use in a dynamic picture M. A partial static picture P is generated and displayed. The following description of the method of generating the partial still picture P includes the following steps.

First, the control module 130 first loads the local static function code 113, causes the local static function code 113 to be executed in the background, and sets a partial static hot key to issue a trigger command T, as shown in step 110. .

Then, the control module 130 loads an application, and the application continuously generates the dynamic image M, or the control module 130 continuously outputs the dynamic image M to the display 140 according to the basic functions executed by the operating system 111, so that the display 140 is displayed. The dynamic picture M is as shown in step 120.

The control module 130 performs a determination loop to continuously determine whether the local static hotkey issues the trigger command T, as shown in step 130.

When the local static hotkey issues the trigger command T, the control module 130 loads a frame selection value to generate a still frame F in the dynamic picture M, as shown in step 140. The aforementioned partial static hotkey is a physical button or a virtual button corresponding to a touch panel display.

When the value of the loading frame is selected, the control module 130 may first accept the input of the frame selection value, as shown in step 141.

The frame selection value may be set in advance and stored in the storage module 110; or the frame selection value may be input through the input module 120 such as a button group or a touch panel; or, the frame selection value is a prior value. It is set and stored in the storage module 110, and some of the frame selection values are input through the input module 120 such as a button group or a touch panel.

The frame selection value includes the type and position of the stationary frame F, that is, the center point coordinate of the stationary frame F and the relative position of the boundary of the stationary frame F with respect to the coordinates of the center point.

In a specific embodiment, the type of the stationary frame F is set and stored in advance. In the storage module 110, the stationary frame F may be of a polygonal type (including a triangle and a rectangle) or a circle. The center point coordinate of the stationary frame F is input through an input module 120 such as a button group or a touch panel. The stationary frame F can be defined on the display screen of the display 140 by the center point coordinates and the relative position of the boundary of the stationary frame F with respect to the center point coordinates.

In another case where the touch panel is used as the input module 120, the stationary frame F is a rectangular shape, and the frame selection value is a coordinate value of the stationary frame F with respect to the two corners, and the input is directly selected through the touch panel.

The control module 130 captures the current still image in the still frame F according to the portion of the frame F selected in the dynamic frame M, as shown in step 150.

The control module 130 generates and displays a partial still picture P in the static frame F according to the captured current still image, and locally overlaps the dynamic picture M, as shown in step 160.

As shown in FIG. 6, at this time, the display 140 displays the partial still picture P in the still frame F, but the dynamic picture M will continue to update the picture according to the operation of the electronic device 100, but the still frame F The local static picture P in the image remains unchanged.

When the local static picture P is partially overlapped on the dynamic picture M, the control module 130 performs a determination loop to continuously determine whether the local static hot key issues the trigger command T, as shown in step 170.

When the local static hotkey issues the trigger command T, and the local static picture P is partially overlapped on the dynamic picture M, the control module 130 cancels the static frame F and removes the partial static picture P, so that the dynamic picture M is restored. The complete display, as shown in step 180. Then, the control module 130 returns to step 120 to re-determine whether to perform the job of generating the partial still picture next time.

In addition, when the control module 130 continuously determines whether the local static hot key issues the trigger command T, it can also determine whether the input module 120 issues a moving direction command. If the input module 120 issues the moving direction command, the control module 130 receives the moving direction command, and shifts the partial still picture P on the dynamic picture M according to the direction or the moving track specified by the moving direction command.

Through the electronic device and method provided by the present invention, the user can quickly set a specific area in the dynamic picture as a partial still picture without additionally launching other other images and capturing processing software; and the partial static picture is continuously overlapped On the dynamic screen, the user can quickly compare local still pictures and dynamic pictures containing specific messages to quickly obtain the same or similar information in the dynamic picture.
