Electronic device input system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an electronic device input system and method for controlling the electronic device. The electronic device input system includes a touch control panel; a data storage module; and a processor. The touch control panel simultaneously has input and output interfaces. The data storage module is provided with an image storage element, for storing a plurality of images; and a function menu storage element, for storing the function menu of the image and the corresponding functional parameters. The processor reads the images stored in the image storage element and displays the images on the touch control panel. A circular image is displayed in center, and other images are annularly arranged surrounding the circular image displayed in the center; and each image is appointed to be in corresponding with a related function menu stored in the function menu storage element. The circular image displayed in the center is displayed in areas on the touch control panel for receiving a direction signal and an acknowledgement signal. The processor selects images that have been displayed on the touch control panel according to the direction signal, and then reads out corresponding images in the image storage element to substitute the images that have been displayed on the touch control panel; the processor reads out related function menu in the function menu storage element and reads the corresponding images in the image storage element according to the acknowledgement signal, appoints the function menu to the corresponding images, and then display the images on the touch control panel and substitute the images that have been displayed on the touch control panel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electronic device input system and method, in particular to an electronic device input system and method for a multimedia player or an information processing platform. Background technique [0002] In recent years, multimedia players, information processing platforms, or similar devices have developed rapidly, and their control and display methods have gradually become more humanized. They have gradually evolved from the past text mode to graphical display and control mode, providing users with more convenient An operation interface, such as a multi-window electronic information platform control interface disclosed in the Chinese Taiwan No. I262436 patent specification, includes a parent window opening module, a sub-window opening module, a sub-window control module and a functional unit control module.

[0002] In recent years, multimedia players, information processing platforms, or similar devices have developed rapidly, and their control and display methods have gradually become more humanized. They have gradually evolved from the past text mode to graphical display and control mode, providing users with more convenient An operation interface, such as a multi-window electronic information platform control interface disclosed in the Chinese Taiwan No. I262436 patent specification, includes a parent window opening module, a sub-window opening module, a sub-window control module and a functional unit control module. Use the main window opening module and sub-window opening module to open and arrange the selected window menus, but they are all arranged in rectangular windows. When the opened windows cannot divide the screen evenly, it will cause unused space on the screen, and the rectangles will be used. The arrangement method also causes inconvenience in operation and aesthetic problems when selecting. Therefore, the menu modules arranged in a rectangle are a less user-friendly input method in use.

[0003] From the above, it can be seen that the existing electronic device input system and method obviously still have inconveniences and deficiencies in actual use, and those that can be improved
