Description

M335727 96-11-29 VIII. New Description: [New Technology Area] An electronic device for touch operation, and especially for an unobstructed touch operation. [Prior Art]

The lack of busy and compact life #中's everything is about convenience and efficiency. Two or two kinds of very *have life habits. The characteristics of the mobile phone or the number of individuals are 3: 'Besides J? At the same time, it is both powerful and _ ^" , users will most likely want to open and execute the required Wei in a very short time. This is especially true for features that users often use to write inter-messages or to query call logs. If you can quickly turn on some phase functions while you are hiding, it is bound to improve the convenience of the handheld device. In order to meet the above requirements, manufacturers of handheld devices have been designed to meet specific common functions on the handheld device or the casing at the beginning of the design.

= hotkey. According to this, when the user presses the hot lining, the corresponding = common function can be quickly turned on, thereby shortening the time required for searching and opening the function. For example, some mobile phone manufacturers will set a button to turn on the camera function on the side of the phone. When the user presses the button, the camera function of the phone can be activated immediately. However, under the trend of lighter and lighter handheld devices, the manufacturer J9b has very limited space for 5 hotkeys. In addition, the user's requirements for the appearance of the handheld device can not be ignored. In order to ensure that the appearance of the handheld device conforms to the requirements of simplicity and beauty, the manufacturer must control the hotkey of the M335727 96-11-29 during design. The number, so only through a small number of hot keys to achieve the need to quickly connect commonly used functions. Because of this, only a small portion of the functions in the handheld device have corresponding hot keys for the user to quickly turn on. However, when the user wants to perform a function that does not have a hotkey, it must be opened by operating the menu. Since the menu of the handheld device is mostly a tree structure, and the menus are mostly displayed on the display of the handheld device, the user may need 10 纟 and 11 display overlays to display the user interface displayed on the display. Click to enter multiple sub-menus to find the desired function options. For some of the more commonly used functions, if you have to open the execution in the above way, it will inevitably take a lot of operation time, which will cause a lot of inconvenience in use. In general, most users currently use the contact or sensing behavior between a finger or a stylus and a touch sensing device to perform a click action, but on a general handheld device, whether through a finger or a touch. The pen is smashed, and the hand thread is placed on the job to make the interface without a corresponding area (the user interface shown in Figure 6). However, when the user inputs the touch sensing device with the finger and the stylus respectively, the input traits are different. Generally, the stylus is more accurate than the user's finger, and can be performed on the user interface. More sophisticated controls, such as typing on a virtual keyboard that appears to be unobtrusive or on a more densely arranged menu. On the other hand, it is intuitive, quick and convenient for the user to directly perform the finger on the touch sensing device, because the action of extracting the stylus can be omitted and the operation can be performed with one hand, although Hand 5 M335727 96-11-29 ΐ==The area will be larger - In summary, some specific functions of the current handheld device require the user to expand the two orders: the user interface of the display is dropped == holding device The car on the car is flexible, it is more axis for the system, _ user is more convenient, but the flexibility of control is easy to produce, it is difficult for the user to achieve the best of both worlds. (d) In this case, if the handheld device is capable of giving a seat=application or operation mode for different input tools, for example, when using a stylus, the hand-held stylus is used for the purpose of viewing or operating, and the hand is used. W, the hand-held device has a suitable shape for the finger, and the user will feel more convenient when using the hand-held device: the other two are how to extend the problem in the material__ or the operation of the towel. The evaluation is also 疋 习 习 习 习 手 手 魏 魏 魏 魏 魏 魏 通常 通常 通常 通常 通常 魏 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳 外壳Rong (4) injury (four), heart stylus) contact to the touch display H_ zone edge, = fast and smooth touch operation, in addition, control 2 edge =, and can not be able to report the ability to report, and The first year of the second year is not the touch area. The outer casing of the hand-held device usually covers the M335727 96-11-29 area. In addition to hindering the user's touch operation, the touch control is touched. The application of sensing is limited. °° " [New content] In view of this, this creation provides an electronic placement that is unobstructed to control touch operation. In one embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned electronic device has at least two types of handheld devices of the (four) interface. The options for selecting the dots are more dense and suitable for the stylus. For the click to use, the other option for the click is less large, suitable for point-to-point authoring. You can identify the type of input tool according to the different input tools. Preset functions such as user interface. The present invention provides an electronic device for unobstructed touch operation for identifying the type of input tool, including a housing, a touch display, and a processor. The housing has an open σ. The touch display is disposed in the opening of the housing for receiving the operation of the input tool. The touch display device has a touch sensing plane, and the outer surface of the housing does not substantially protrude from the surface of the sensing surface. The processing is purely connected to the touch display to determine the type of the input tool and perform a preset function according to the type of the tool. In the present invention, the input signal is generated when the wheeling tool is touched or close to the touch display device, and the processor determines the wheel tool according to the area, pressure, temperature, or image sensed by the touch display. kind. In an embodiment of the present invention, the processor first records the information of the item contained in the input signal within a specific time, calculates the range of change of the peak in a certain time, and then determines the type of the tool according to the size of the range of variation. This item 7 M335727 96-11-29 can be the position or pressure of the input tool to touch or approach the touch display, or other relevant information. In an embodiment of the present invention, the processor first calculates the number of sensing pads that are sensed on the touch-sensitive display for a specific period of time, and then determines the type of the tool based on the number of sensing pads that generate the sensing.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the preset function may be to switch a corresponding user interface according to the tool type or to turn a certain function on or off according to the type of the tool.

The present invention also provides an electronic device for unobstructed touch operation for identifying the type of input tool, including a housing, a touch display, and a processor. The housing has an opening. The touch display is disposed in the opening of the housing for receiving the operation of the input tool. The touch display panel has a touch sensing plane, and the opening edge of the housing is continuously connected to the touch sensing plane, and the outer surface of the housing does not substantially protrude from the touch sensing plane. The processor is coupled to the touch display to determine the input tool type and perform a preset function according to the type of the tool. When the input tool contacts or approaches the touch device of the electronic device, the tool for inputting the tool can be judged according to the contact area of the input guard, the contact pressure, the salty area, the tool temperature, or the image. According to the different jade surface, the self-conversion and display of the corresponding make and interface. It can also be turned on or off automatically depending on the face of the guard. This improves the efficiency of the user interface and the convenience of the device. #彳乍1子 In order to make the creation and advantages of this creation more clear _ understand, the following 8 M335727 96-11-29 car family example ‘and the accompanying drawings, as detailed below. [Embodiment]

In the current handheld device, the user can only quickly turn on certain functions by pressing the hot key. However, the number of hot keys on the handheld device is limited, and if a user can provide a quick access Displaying the user interface of multiple commonly used functions is bound to increase the convenience of operating the handheld device. This creation is based on the above viewpoints to develop the financial interface of the interface (4). The content of the creation of 31 is more clear, and the following specific examples are examples of how the creation can be implemented. Figure 1 is a flow of the user interface = method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to the implementation instructions for the details of how the handheld device automatically switches the corresponding user interface based on the difference in the input tool when the user is operating the handheld device. i,

Hand-held device (4) machine, personal digital assistant or smart phone, etc. This does not limit its scope. t When the time input device is placed in the opponent county, the 3 hand-held device receives the input in a user interface. In step 12G, the device should be placed according to the contact or proximity touch of the input device. The area, pressure, temperature, or image sensed by the touch sensing device is determined by the input device. The handheld device is based on the user interface of the tool type 22 2 step 130. The profit of the paste, the corresponding aspect of the conversion surface, it should be noted that the above operation method can be divided into two parts, one of which is a method for identifying the type of the input tool (ie, step n〇 and steps). 120), a part of which is a method of applying the identification result (ie, step 130). That is to say, in the method flow shown in FIG. 1, the present invention provides at least the identification method including step 110 and step 120, and the steps after step 120 are designed according to actual application requirements. Step 13G in the figure 仅 is only used in the embodiment (the conversion of the user interface). The corresponding user interface is displayed according to different tool types in the actual _ towel's hand county. For convenience of description, in the following embodiments, two different input tools are distinguished, such as a stylus and a user's finger, and the corresponding use is converted according to two different types of royal articles. The process of the interface to further explain the creation. In this creative range, the shot includes any number of tool types. In the following embodiments, the user interface corresponding to the stylus is a general user interface including all functions of the hand = device, and (4) the user of the finger is the phase function interface of some functions of the display device. The function of the 龄 1 α 1 function surface can be preset by the user according to his or her habit or demand. There are a variety of ways to pay for the types of people, different == the same hardware design as shown in Figure 2Α to 2D of the handheld device block diagram, the following description. 220, Figure 2 ί holding i including the display, 21 〇, touch sensing device touch the two dollars $23G. Display 21. It is used to display the user interface, input the operation of the tool, and the panel ("Saki uses price measurement," and generates an input signal M335727 96-11-29 according to the operation of the wheeling tool. The processor 230 is coupled to The display 21A and the touch sensing device 22 are used to determine the type of the tool for inputting the tool, and convert the corresponding user interface according to the type of the tool. The touch sensing device 220 of FIG. 2A includes a resistive sensor device. 240. The resistive sensor can sense the contact position and pressure when the input tool is operated, so the input signal provided by the touch sensing device 22 includes information such as the position and pressure of the input tool contact. It is worth noting that the resistive sensor At the same time, only one contact point input signal can be provided, and the contact point is distributed in the connection between the input tool and the resistive sensor, as shown in Figures 3A and 3B. The resistive sensor itself can only Determine whether there is contact with the input tool and cannot distinguish the type of the input tool. Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with the method provided by this creation by collecting it within a certain period of time. The input signals of the plurality of contact points are used to determine the type of the input tool. As shown in FIG. 3A, the contact point of the stylus is t-Ι to t_4. Because the contact area of the stylus is small, the contact points are concentrated. The method of the present invention can be laid out with a resistive _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Finger. Since the sensor can only provide the input point of the contact point at the same time, the processor provided by the author (described in detail below) 230 i = segment specific time __ record input峨 information, calculate its variable consumption and then judge the type of input tool according to the size of this variation range. Take the four contact points of Figure 3A and 3β as an example, suppose the contact point w, the input of 11 M335727 96-11-29 The signal is (Xi, Yi, Pi) 'where i can be 1, 2, 3 4.) ^ is the X coordinate of the contact position of t., Yi is the Y position of the contact position of ti "' 7 is the contact pressure of t_i The processor 230 can calculate the average value of the flat X coordinate of the not-average seven position and pressure, respectively: Xa = (Xl+X2 + X3) + X4)/4 Y Coordinate average: Ya = (Yl +Υ2 + Υ3 + γ4)/4 Pressure average: Pa = (Pl+P2 + p3+p4)/4 Then the position and pressure can be calculated separately. ^ X coordinate variation range: Xd = |Xa —Χη + + IXa-X3 Bu|Xa - Χ4| γ Coordinate variation range·· Yd = |Ya —Y1| + |v.V0j + IVa-Y3| + |Ya_Y4| ' Y2'

The range is as follows: |Xa — X2| Pressure variation range: Pd=|Pa —Pl| + im + 丨Pa~P3| +丨Pa — P4| — 21 As for how to judge the tool type according to the range of position and pressure ~ 'fine Lang is shown in the flow of Figure 4AHC, and the following is explained in order. The identification ^ is the input tool type executed by the processor 230 of FIG. 2A; and the figure: Γ The process is based on the variation of the contact position = 〃 pain. The first step of detecting the input tool at step 41 is to record the Y coordinate of the contact point at a preset sampling time every step of step 420. Next, in step 430, it is checked whether the number of samples is sufficient. If 12 M335727 96-11-29 has satisfied the preset number of processors 230, the flow proceeds to step 440, otherwise returns to step 420 to continue recording. Next, at step 440, the variation range 接触 (1, Yd of the contact position is calculated, and it is checked in step 450 whether Xd < Vx and Yd < Vy, where Vx • is the preset range of the processor 230. If the two coordinates vary The processor 230 determines that the input tool type is a stylus and converts the user interface into a corresponding common user interface in step 460. Otherwise, the processor 230 determines in step 470 that the input tool type is a finger. The user interface is converted into a corresponding common function interface. Fig. 4B is a flow chart of another input tool type identification method performed by the processor 230, and the flow of Fig. 4B is based on the variation range of the contact pressure to determine the type of the tool. 230 records the contact pressure of the input tool at intervals of sampling time in step 421, calculates the k-motion range Pd' of the contact pressure in step 441 and then checks in step 451 whether < Vp, which is the preset range of the processor 230. If pd < Vp, the processor 23 determines in step 460 that the input tool type is a stylus, and converts the user interface into a corresponding common user. Otherwise, the processor 230 determines in step 470 that the input tool type is a finger, and converts the user interface into a corresponding common function interface. The remaining steps in FIG. 4B are the same as those in FIG. 4 and are not described. FIG. 4C is a processor. Another type of input tool type identification method performed by 230 is a J-process diagram, and the flow of FIG. 4C is to determine the type of the tool based on the contact position and the pressure at the same time. The processor 23() samples the sample every second in step 422. The contact position and pressure of the input tool are recorded, and in step 442, the variation range Xd, Yd of the contact position and the contact pressure change 13 M335727 96-11-29 range Pd are calculated, and then in step 452, it is checked whether Xd < Vx, Yd < Vy and Pd < Vp. If so, the processor 230 determines in step 460 that the input tool type is a stylus and converts the user interface to a corresponding common user interface. Otherwise, the processor 230 determines the input tool in step 470. The type is finger 'converts the user interface to the corresponding common function interface. The rest of the steps in Figure 4C are the same as in Figure 4A, and will not be described again. Next is another input tool under the hardware design. For the class identification method, please refer to FIG. 2B and FIG. 5. FIG. 2B is a block diagram of a handheld device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between FIG. 2B and FIG. 2A is that the touch sensing device 220 of FIG. 2A is replaced by a capacitive type. The touch sensing device 22 of the capacitive sensing device 250 has a plurality of arrayed sensing pads (sens〇rpad). The sensing pad only produces a capacitive effect on a sufficiently large conductor. The contact or proximity of the conductor is sensed. The finger is a conductor that can sense the sensor pad. If the stylus is made of guides and clothes, the size of the stylus is large enough to make the sensor pad feel. Capacitive sensing is generally based on the fact that it is profitable or arbitrarily. In the short (four), there are many sensing pads to generate the induction. Because capacitive sensing = can only judge whether there is a system of input and loss, and can not distinguish the type of tool, so it is necessary to cooperate with the method provided by this creation, in short When the input is sent to the operator, and the processor 230 of FIG. 2B is executed by the method provided by the present creation, the size of the U product can be calculated according to the number of sensing pads that are sensed, and the output is determined. The human tool is a finger or a stylus. # ° is the type of input tool executed by the processing of the graph 230. M335727 96-11-29 Method flow chart. First, in step 51G, the sampling time is detected every other time, and then the sensing is generated in (4) _ _ & If not, _step (10) continues to the side. If yes, = step 53G, when the input tool operates the touch sensing device 221 within a predetermined time period of the pre-(four)-segment, the number of induced inductive turns is generated in the capacitive sensor 25A. Then, at step (10), it is checked whether the number of the money pads is less than the preset value of the processing benefit 23G. If the number of sensors is less than the preset value, the processor 230 selects the type of the input tool as a stylus in step 55, and converts the user interface to the common user interface of the rider. The remuneration processor 23 〇 determines that the input tool face is a finger, and converts the user interface into a corresponding common function. The above _ setting value can be set according to the density of the unit area of the sensing unit. 2C is a block diagram of a handheld device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between FIG. 2c and FIG. 2A is that the touch sensing device 22 of FIG. 2A is replaced with a touch sensing device 222 including a μ-degree sensing 260. In the present embodiment, the processing is 230 判断 to determine the type of the tool based on the tool temperature at which the input tool contacts or approaches the touch sensing device 8. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2C simultaneously, when the user operates on the touch sensing device 222 by using the input tool, the processing state 230 will receive the corresponding rounding signal (step 11A). At this time, the processor 230 detects the temperature of the tool when the input tool is operated through the temperature sensor 26, and compares the tool temperature with a preset temperature (for example, an average value of room temperature and body temperature). If the redware temperature is less than the preset temperature, the processor 230 determines that the input tool is a stylus, and otherwise determines that the input tool is a finger (step 120). Next, the processor 23 displays the corresponding common user interface or common function interface on the display ϋ 21G according to the tool type 15 M335727 96-11-29, as described in the previous embodiment (step 130). In addition to utilizing differences in area, pressure, and temperature to determine the type of tool. In the embodiment of Figure 2D, the processor 23 can also utilize image recognition techniques to determine the type of tool. Please refer to FIG. 2D and FIG. 2D, FIG. 21) is a block diagram of a handheld device according to another embodiment of the present invention, and the main difference between FIG. 2A is that the touch sensing device 22 of FIG. 2A is replaced by an image capturing device 270. Touch sensing device 223. When the user operates on the touch sensing device 223 by using the input tool, in step 11, the user receives the input signal through the touch sensing device 223. Then, in step 12, the processor 230 controls the image capturing device 27 to capture the type of the tool including the input tool, and according to the characteristics or dimensions of the input guard in the image (dimensi〇n) . For example, the processor 23G can obtain the edge wheel feature of the input tool in the image through the image recognition============================================================================== Compare to judge the type of I. If you are crying, the input jade is a stylus, and the 13G is displayed through the display: silk as a common user interface. If the processing 11 23G judges the input work and the hand = especially in step 130, the common function interface is displayed through the display 21 . ί: It is the processor in the handheld device that can be used to convert and display the interface according to the type of tool. The whole user interface is selected as follows: 6 I lifts 5 brothers, when dealing with 11 touches, 31 For the stylus, the option on the user interface _ is displayed in the normal size, and when the (four) broken wheel tool is used as the user's finger, 16 M335727 96-11-29 will make = The option is fully magnified to the finger-operable 7 user interface 700, which is convenient for the user interface. The above options include items such as an input image or an image. In addition to the different types of input tools, the handheld device of Benchuang = can also be converted according to the type of input tool.

As shown in the flow of Figure 8. Fig. 8 is a flow chart showing the operation method of the money interface in accordance with the creation of this hand-beauty. The process details are described below. First, the hand-held processor receives the input signal through the touch sensing device (step 810), determines the type of the input tool that generates the input signal (step), and then executes the preset function according to the work surface (step 830). For example, the preset function may be to convert the corresponding user interface according to the type of the tool (step 84A), and the related details are included in the previous embodiment, and are not described again. Step 83〇^ The preset function can also be to turn specific functions on or off according to the type of tool.

(Step 850). The processor can also perform other preset functions depending on the type of tool, and is not limited to the above examples. The specific function of step 8 50 may be a user interface navigation (br〇wsing) power month h*. The user interface navigation functions described above may include user interface panning, user interface scrolling, or both (step 860). For example, when the input tool is a stylus, the user interface panning and scrolling function is turned off, and when the input tool is a finger, the user interface panning and scrolling function is turned on, so that the user can pan or scroll the user interface by moving the finger. Display content. 17 M335727 96-11-29 Confucianism The detailed process is shown in Figure 8B. First at step 861

:: The second tool type is finger, which opens the user interface translation and scrolling power. At 4 862, it is checked whether the contact or proximity state of the finger has been removed. That is, whether the finger has left the _ field should be installed. If not yet, in step 863, the user interface is translated and the user interface is moved by the user's interface. On the other hand, if the finger has left the touch sensing device, it is checked in step 864 if there is a movement while the finger is away. If there is no secret, the process ends here. If there is a move, proceed to step 865' to execute the user interface age, and let the user scroll in the direction of the hand.

Alternatively, the particular function of step 850 can be a multiple selection function (step 870). For example, when the input tool is a stylus, the multi-selection function is enabled, so that the user can simultaneously select a plurality of poor items or function items on the user interface by using the stylus, and the input tool is a multi-select function when the finger is off. Let users - only select single-items. Because the accuracy of the finger is not as good as the stylus's misplaced, it can improve the precision and efficiency of use. The detailed flow of step 870 is shown in Figure 8C. First, in step 871, it is judged that the input tool type is a stylus, and the multiple selection function is turned on. Then, in step 872, it is checked whether the area where the stylus contacts or approaches the touch sensing device has any options. If not, the process ends here. If so, in step 873 all options covered by the contact area are selected. In addition, after the implementation of the creative method provided by the author determines the input tool_class, the input tool_class can also be used to open or close other specific functions, not limited to the above examples. That is to say, in the method flow of FIG. 18 M335727 96-11-29 8A, the identification method provided by the present invention includes at least step 810 and step 82, and the step after step (4) is visible. Designed for application needs. Steps 83A through 10(10) in Fig. 8A are only used to respectively represent a plurality of embodiments on the application. • The handheld farm in the above example can be extended to a general electronic device. The above methods can be used to implement the operating system or application of the county or electronic device to integrate hardware such as electronic devices. Features. The above • Job secrets should be stored in a computer-readable recording medium, which can be executed by the handlers of the turtle device. The operation is basically the same and will not be described again. In the embodiment of Figures 2A through 2D, the display and the touch sensing device are two separate components. The display is used to display a user interface, and the touch sensing device is configured to receive an input signal. In other embodiments of the present invention, the display state and the touch sensing device may constitute a touch display, as shown in FIGS. 9a and 9B. 9A is a perspective view of a handheld electronic device with an unobstructed touch operation according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9B is a cross-sectional view of the electronic device of FIG. 9A.

The accommodating space communicates with the outside through an opening 9 〇 6 on the outer surface 904. The touch display 902 includes a display 907 and a touch and salt 奘 奘 乡 乡 TM 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 ================================================================= operating. The touch sensing device 9A has a touch sensing plane 909, and the touch sensing plane 909 includes display areas 9'10 and 19 • M335727 96-11-29 non.., and 9U. The edge of the housing 901 ^ 906 is continuously connected to the touch sensing plane 909, and the outer surface 9 〇 4 of the housing 9 不 1 does not protrude from the touch sensing plane 909, and the housing 901 referred to herein does not include Hold the hotkey or button on the device. The processor 903 is coupled to the display 9〇7 and the touch sensing device 9〇8 for determining the type of the input tool and performing the preset function according to the type. It should be noted that since the outer surface 9〇4 of the housing 901 does not protrude from the 10 touch sensing plane 909, the housing surface 904 and the touch sensing plane 9〇9 are equivalent to a continuous smooth surface, which allows the input tool to be Move operations without hindrance. Moreover, since the non-display area 9U exposed by the touch sensing plane 909 is not covered by the housing 901 as is conventional, the handheld electronic device can be moved in an unimpeded manner. In addition to the operation, it is possible to use the non-display area 911 to add more touch-sensitive applications that make the user feel more convenient. As with the previous embodiment, the processor 903 can determine the type of input tool based on the area, pressure, temperature, or image of the touch sensing device 908 when the input tool is operated. Details regarding the judgment process and the execution of the preset function have been found in the uranium surface embodiment, and the description will not be repeated. In summary, the creation can judge the type of tools of the input tool, and convert the corresponding user interface according to the type of the tool, or perform various preset functions in different ways. This not only provides a means of quickly switching between different types of user interfaces, but also allows the user to operate the handheld device in a more convenient manner, thereby increasing the efficiency and convenience of use.
