Problems solved by technology

Since the protruding part of the shell will block the touch operation of input tools (including fingers or stylus pens) and easily scratch the fingers, the user will not be able to quickly and effectively touch the pixels on the edge of the display area of ​​the touch display, and cannot In addition, the non-display area of ​​the touch display still has the ability of touch sensing, and the shell of the general handheld device usually covers this area, which not only hinders the user's touch operation, but also allows the Touch-sensing applications for tactile displays are limited

Embodiment Construction

[0047] With the current handheld devices, users can only quickly open some specific functions by pressing hotkeys. However, the number of hotkeys on handheld devices is limited. A user interface with multiple commonly used functions is bound to increase the convenience of operating the handheld device. The present invention is a method for operating a user interface and a handheld device using the method developed based on the above viewpoint. In order to make the content of the present invention more clear, the following specific examples are given as examples in which the present invention can indeed be implemented.

[0048] figure 1 It is a flow chart of the operation method of the user interface according to an embodiment of the present invention. see figure 1 , this embodiment is to illustrate the detailed steps of how the handheld device automatically switches the corresponding user interface according to the different input tools when the user is operating a handhe...

Abstract

The invention provides a hand-held device and an electronic device which can convert the user interface, wherein, a processor of the electronic device receives the input signal through a touch-control sensing device, determines the type of the input tool which generates the input signal, and then converts the corresponding user interface based on the type of the tool. Besides, the electronic device also can automatically open or close specific functions based on the type of the tool, thereby improving the efficiency of converting the user interface and increasing the convenience in operating electronic devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an identification method of an input tool type of an electronic device, and in particular relates to various extended applications of the above identification method. Background technique [0002] In the busy and compact life of modern people, it has become a very common living habit to emphasize convenience and efficiency in everything. Take handheld devices such as mobile phones or personal digital assistants as an example. In addition to having the characteristics of powerful functions and light weight, users also hope that they can be turned on and executed in a very short time. This is especially true for functions that users use more frequently, such as writing text messages or checking call logs. If the user can quickly activate some commonly used functions when operating the handheld device, the convenience of using the handheld device will certainly be improved. [0003] In order to meet the above requirement...
