User interface operation method

Abstract

The invention discloses an operation method of a user interface applicable to a hand-held device, including: receiving an input signal; judging the tool type of an input tool which generates the input signal, wherein the steps for judging the tool type includes: recording information contained in the input signal in a certain time, calculating a change range of the information in the certain time, as well as calculating positions and the pressure change range of the four contact points contacted with the input tool or adjacent to the input tool, and calculating the pressure change range; judging the tool type according to the size of the change range; and opening or closing a user interface guide function according to the tool type, thereby improving the convenience in operating the hand-held devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a user interface operation of an electronic device. 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 requirements, manufacturers of handheld devices set hot keys corresponding to specific commonly used functions on the keyboard or shel...

[0009] In addition, the casing of traditional handheld devices is usually adjacent to the edge of the display area of ​​the touch display, and is much more protruding than the touch-sensitive plane of the touch display.

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
