The dynamic symbol feature device 1 can be various electronic display devices, such as smart phones, tablet computers, A head-mounted display, in which the virtual key device 10 can be a key displayed on the touch screen, a projection display key or a keyboard, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), mixed reality Buttons presented in Mixed reality (MR). The virtual key device 10 includes a plurality of virtual keys 101, the number of which is determined according to the type and function of the keys, and each virtual key 101 has a plurality of sensors 102 to sense the user's input actions. In the figure, a square button 101 is taken as an example. The button 101 includes a main sensing area 101A and peripheral sensing areas a, b, c, and d. The sensing area is equipped with a sensor 102 to sense the user's input action. The main sensing area 101A is mostly located at the center of the key, which is also the main sensing position of the virtual keyboard, in which more sensors 102 or more sensitive sensors 102 may be configured. In the initial state, the symbol feature Sm will be displayed in the main sensing area 101A. The symbol feature Sm is the symbol corresponding to the key function. For example, the display of the A key represents typing in the symbol A, and the display of the Back key represents backing one space.

It can detect the user's input action, but if it deviates from the main sensing area 101A for a long time, the function of the virtual keyboard device 10 or the sensor 102 may be deviated, and the efficiency and accuracy of the key 101 input will decrease. Therefore, the present disclosure uses the memory 20 to record the user's input actions in the preset interval, and records the position of the sensor that generates the sensing signal, which is used as the basis for the dynamic adjustment of the symbol feature, and then the processor 30 executes the dynamic adjustment program to Check whether the sensor is located in the main sensing area 101A. As shown in the figure, the memory 20 records the actual click position T of the user clicking the button in a predetermined interval. The predetermined interval described here may be the initial input period when the user starts to use the virtual button device 10, for example, the first 10 seconds of input recording. In another embodiment, the predetermined interval can also be used The predetermined input times of the user, such as the input record of the first 5 times of this button. The actual click position T sensed is recorded in the memory 20, and the processor 30 executes a dynamic adjustment program to access the record in the memory 20 to determine whether the actual click position T deviates from the main sensing area 101A, if it is confirmed If there is a deviation, the symbol feature Sm is dynamically adjusted. As shown in the figure, when the actual click position T is biased toward the peripheral sensing area d, that is, toward the lower right of the button 101, the processor 30 controls the virtual key device 10 to change the symbol feature Sm It is the newly displayed symbol feature Sn, which is adjusted toward the upper left to make it appear on the newly adjusted display area.

The direction of the dynamic adjustment in the above-mentioned dynamic adjustment program can be the opposite direction that the sensor position deviates from the main sensing area 101A. In this embodiment, the actual click position is biased toward the lower right, so the dynamic adjustment direction is toward the upper left. The adjustment method disclosed in the present disclosure allows the user to adjust the click position to the main sensing area 101A according to the guidance of the symbol feature Sn when operating the button, so that the accuracy of the operation can be effectively improved. As for the dynamically adjusted distance, the new display area can be adjusted according to the average distance between each actual click position and the center point of the main sensing area 101A. The adjusted display area of the symbol feature Sn can be located in the main display area 101A or the peripheral display area a , B, c, d. In another embodiment, in addition to the position change, the symbol feature Sn can also change the original display appearance, display color or display size, such as increasing the distinction of color shades, the viewing angle of the symbol, etc. to increase the effect of adjustment, or changing the symbol feature Sn The size of the display allows the user to focus on the location and so on. The above-mentioned changing modes of the symbol characteristics Sn can be carried out at the same time, or a single adjustment mode can be selected.

Please refer to Figure 2, which is a schematic diagram of a dynamic symbol feature device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Therefore, when the memory of the smart phone records that the sensor position of the click position is not in the main sensing area, the processor will execute a dynamic adjustment program to adjust the symbol characteristics, that is, move to the left or upper left. When the user clicks the symbol feature to the left, the clicked position can fall into the original main sensing area, achieving the effect of dynamic adjustment. In contrast, when the smart phone is tilted to the right, the dynamic adjustment program moves the symbol feature to the right or upper right to achieve the effect of dynamically adjusting the symbol feature.
