In addition, the disclosure is not limited to a specific operating system of the mobile terminal, and may include, but is not limited to, iOS, Windows Phone, Symbian, Android, etc., and different mobile terminals may use the same operating system. Different operating systems are also possible.

In the following description of some embodiments of the present disclosure, a mobile electronic device (eg, a smart phone, a tablet, a laptop, etc.) having a touch screen will be exemplified with the solution of the present disclosure. However, it should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the present disclosure is equally applicable to other electronic devices having a touch screen, for example, a desktop computer having a touch screen, used in places like a library, a railway station, a bank ATM machine, and the like. Information inquiry terminal, etc. In addition, it should also be understood that the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the present disclosure is equally applicable to other electronic devices having a non-touch screen, for example, a desktop computer having an LCD/CRT, a positioning device using a mouse, a trackball, a rocker, or the like. Kind of computing device and so on. In fact, any electronic device that may have an operating subject occluding an object to be operated may use a solution according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In the context of the present disclosure, the term "operational subject" may be used to refer to a subject that performs various operations on an "object" displayed on a screen, which may be a physical entity or a virtual entity. In some embodiments, examples of physical entity operations may include, but are not limited to, a finger, a stylus, or any other physical entity that can be used to operate on an object on the touch screen. In some embodiments, examples of virtual entity operations bodies may include, but are not limited to, pointers, cursors, or any other virtual entity that can be used to operate on objects on the display.

The term "displacement" as used herein generally refers to a translation produced by an object on a screen and/or Rotate. For example, in the embodiment shown in Figures 1b and 1c, "displacement" may refer to "moving text" panning to the right. In other embodiments, "displacement" may also include a combination of translation and rotation, simple rotation, and the like.

In the following description of some embodiments of the present disclosure, a mobile electronic device (eg, a smart mobile phone) will be exemplified by the use of a finger. However, as described above, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In general, the solutions of the present disclosure can be applied to input systems on personal computers, mobile phones, tablets, and the like. In some embodiments, the input system can have a character input module for inputting characters, a character selection module for selecting characters, a sensor module for determining whether the selected character is moving, for adding an effect to the character An effect module (eg, color change or translucency/transparency), and a calculation module for calculating a movement path of the selected characters such that they move in a serpentine path as described below. These modules may be physical or virtual modules implemented in software, hardware, firmware, and/or various combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the solution of the present disclosure may be an application (app) downloaded to a smart mobile phone via, for example, a wireless network. The application software can cause the smart mobile phone to implement the method as described in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Hereinafter, a flow of a method for preventing an operation subject from occluding a selected object according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1a to 1d and FIG.

1a to 1d illustrate screen diagrams of a flow for preventing an operation body from occluding an object and preventing an object from occluding each other when a user moves a character string displayed on the touch screen according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Note that in this embodiment, only the content displayed on the screen (touch screen) is shown, which is closely related to the concept of the present disclosure to facilitate the reader's understanding, and does not show other well-known parts, thereby preventing these. Partially, the inventive concept of the present disclosure is not sufficiently prominent.

In Fig. 1a, two lines of text handwritten by a user on a touch screen of a mobile electronic device are shown, which are "this is a line of text" at the upper left and "moved characters" at the lower right. The contents of these two lines of text are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the disclosure. In addition, the relative positions of the two lines of text are not limited to this.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1b, the user can use a finger to click on the character string "moved text" on the lower right side to perform a selection operation. Note that, as shown in FIG. 1c, in this embodiment, the selected location may be on the "shift" word. At this time, after detecting the click operation, the electronic device can automatically shift the line of text (the selected object) to the right by a distance without the user manually. operating. As shown in Figure 1c, the dashed line represents the distance (range) translated to the right, and it may also represent the range of possible coverage/occlusion of the finger at that location. In this case, by shifting the "moving text" to the right by a distance, so that it avoids the area blocked by the finger, so that the user can clearly see and determine the selected without additional operations. Text content.

However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the location selected by the user is not necessarily a "shift" word, but it is possible to select other locations, such as "", "text", etc., or click on the boundary of the words. At the office. At this point, the "moving text" can also be translated a distance to ensure that it is not obscured by the finger and allows the user to clearly see the full content.

In addition, in other embodiments, when, for example, the user clicks on the word "", the distance of the translation is not necessarily that the "moving text" is entirely removed from the area covered by the finger, but only the other is moved. A small distance makes it possible to change the text covered by the finger before and after the movement. In this case, since the user can compare the text before and after the movement, the overall content of the paragraph can also be determined. In other words, in these embodiments, the translational distance causes the "moving text" portion to move out of the area covered by the finger rather than completely removing it.

Moreover, in other embodiments, when, for example, the user clicks on the word "", the segmentation can also be panned, for example, the content to the left of the word "" is shifted to the left, and the word to the right of the word "" The content is panned to the right (the "" word itself can be translated to the left or to the right), thereby forming the effect of splitting the "moving text" so that it avoids the area that the finger touches. In this case as well, the user can clearly see the text content of his selection.

Moreover, in other embodiments, the direction of translation of the selected text is not limited to "left" and/or "right", but may be any suitable direction, such as up, down, bottom left, top right, and the like.

Moreover, in other embodiments, the object selected by the user is not limited to text, but may be other objects such as icons, still pictures, videos, and the like. In this case, the same processing as described above can be performed on these objects, for example, shifting to the upper right such that it moves out of the finger coverage area as a whole, and shifts to the lower left 45 degrees so that it partially moves out of the finger coverage area, for example, 1/3 from the left end. Split left to right to avoid finger coverage and so on.

Moreover, in other embodiments, when the user clicks on the object, other display effects may also be employed to enable the user to clearly determine the content of the selected object. For example, it is possible to perform effects such as rotation, discoloration, and transparency on the selected object. For example, in one embodiment, when the user clicks on a map In the case of a piece, the picture can be translated not only, but also rotated so that the object is rotated (and/or translated) by the tip of the finger or even the other part of the hand (eg, the length of the entire finger, the palm, etc.) Outside the blocking area. Moreover, in one embodiment, the selected object can also be discolored and/or transparent such that the user can clearly distinguish the selected object from other adjacent objects.

Moreover, in other embodiments, when the touch screen supports operations such as multi-touch, the user can manipulate the entered text with one or more fingers. For example, when the user clicks the "moving" word and the "word" in the "moving text" with two fingers, the "moving text" can be displaced to avoid the range blocked by the two fingers. The word "shift" can be left in place. In this case, the "cut" operation effect on the text can be realized, and at the same time, the user can clearly determine the cut piece of text, that is, "moving text". Of course, in still other embodiments, other visual effects such as rotation/discoloration/transparency may be employed for the segment of the cut text.

Returning to the embodiment shown in Figures 1b and 1c. As described above, in this embodiment, when the user clicks "moving text", it is shifted to the right by a distance such that it as a whole avoids the area covered by the finger. Next, in Fig. 1d, the "moving text" can be moved to the position "this is a line of characters" without lifting the finger. In this case, in order to facilitate the user to see "this is a line of text" as the background, the "moving text" can be made transparent, so that the "moving text" is translucent or transparent, so that the user can clearly see Text as background. Moreover, in other embodiments, "this is a line of text" as a background may also be transparent to enable the user to clearly see the text in motion.

In addition, when the object to be operated is an icon, a picture, a video, a flash, or the like, the operation can be similarly performed.

FIG. 2 illustrates a screen diagram for preventing objects from occluding each other when a user moves a character string displayed on the touch screen according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment is similar to the partial operation of the embodiment shown in Figures 1a - 1d, except that in the operation shown in Figure 1d, the operation shown in Figure 2 can be used instead.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, when the user drags "moved text" to pass between "this is a line of text" and "this is another line", as shown in FIG. 2, "moving text" can be made. "Advance in a serpentine way." That is, when the user drags "moved text" through "this is a line of text" and "this is another When the line is "between", the "moving text" is no longer moved as a whole, but in units of each word, and the adjacent words are advanced in a connection manner that can be relatively displaced, thereby avoiding the following situation: "Moving The text "as a whole, cannot be relatively displaced between its adjacent words, so when it passes between "this is a line of text" and "this is another line", it is inevitable with the two lines of text At least a portion overlaps. By avoiding this situation, each word in the "moving text" can pass between the two lines of text in a manner that does not completely obscure the two lines of text, forming a so-called serpentine shape. route.

In this embodiment, the case where text is passed between two other lines of text is explained. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In fact, even if there is no "this is another line", you can pass the "moving text" alongside the "this is a line of text" in a serpentine route. For example, when dragging "moving text" under "this is a line of text", you can make a small shift in each word in "moving text" after "this is a line of text" to avoid Overlap and occlude each other.

In addition, in other embodiments, although the user does not directly operate on the object "this is a line of text" and "this is another line", they can be displaced to avoid the "moved text" currently being operated. ". For example, when the user passes "moving text" between "this is a line of text" and "this is another line", the "moving text" can be made not to advance in a serpentine manner, but instead to " This is a line of text "and "this is another line" may overlap with the "moving text" part of the displacement, etc., to prevent them from overlapping with the "moving text", thus forming these two lines of text to avoid "moving text" "The visual effect."

Moreover, the present disclosure is not limited to passing a line of text between two lines of text, which may be a line of text passing through another line of text. For example, you can pass "moving text" between "one" and "row" in "This is a line of text" and make "this is one" pan to the left and "line text" to the right, thus Avoid "moving text." Similarly, this also applies to other objects such as pictures, videos, FLASH, etc.

Further, in some embodiments, when it is found through calculation that there is no such thing as "moving text" (first object) from "this is a line of text" (second object) and "this is another line" (second object) The first object and/or the second object may be displayed in a translucent or transparent manner when passing through or along a serpentine route, thereby avoiding occlusion of the other party. Of course, the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, these operational objects may be rendered translucent/transparent even in the presence of such serpentine routes.

An operation method for avoiding operation of an occlusion object and avoiding mutual occlusion of an object according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has been described in detail above with reference to FIGS. 1a to 1d and FIG. By employing these methods, the present disclosure implements a good solution for a character entry system. As the user moves the entered characters, the visual effects of these characters become clearer and smarter.

Further, the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be implemented as an application that can be installed on a personal computer, a mobile phone, a tablet, or the like. The application can have the following functional modules: a character input module that enables a user to input characters as usual through hardware of the electronic device (eg, keyboard, tablet, character recognizer, and/or speech recognizer, etc.); buttons or buttons, Switch between input mode and selection mode.
