Mobile phone and mobile phone input method

Abstract

The invention discloses a mobile phone input method, which is applied to a mobile phone provided with a roller wheel and a roller wheel key. The roller wheel and the roller wheel key are used to control a cursor in a mobile phone user interface; the roller wheel can roll along clockwise and anticlockwise directions; the roller wheel key can be pressed down or released; the method comprises the following steps of: setting the cursor to indicate a current moving direction and a current position; detecting the state of the roller wheel key and the rolling of the roller wheel; when the roller keyis proved to be in a pressed state by detection, determining the current moving direction according to the rolling of the roller wheel and controlling the cursor to indicate the current moving direction; and when the roller wheel key is in a released state, determining the current position according to the rolling of the roller wheel and controlling the cursor to indicate the current position. The invention also discloses the mobile phone. The application of the method can realize high-speed and high-reliability mobile phone input under the precondition of reducing the manufacturing cost of the mobile phone.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to a mobile phone and a mobile phone input method. Background technique [0002] Currently, the input devices of the mobile phone mainly include a keyboard and a touch screen. Keyboard input and touch screen input each have their advantages and disadvantages: [0003] The cost of the keyboard is relatively low, but since the key frequency of the keyboard input cannot be too high, the speed of the keyboard input cannot be too fast. [0004] The touch screen provides great convenience for user input, but the price of the touch screen is relatively expensive, which makes the cost of the touch screen mobile phone relatively high. Moreover, due to frequent touches, the sensitivity of the touch screen will gradually decrease, resulting in a decrease in its reliability as the usage time increases. In particular, the use of the touch screen must be equipped with a probe, whi...

[0003] The cost of the keyboard is relatively low, but since the key frequency of the keyboard input cannot be too high, the speed of the keyboard input cannot be too fast

[0004] The touch screen provides great convenience for user input, but the price of the touch screen is relatively expensive, which makes the cost of the touch screen mobile phone relatively high.

Moreover, due to frequent touches, the sensitivity of the touch screen will gradually decrease, resulting in a decrease in its reliability over time.

In particular, the use of the touch screen must be equipped with a test pen, which virtually increases the manufacturing cost of the mobile phone and leads to an increase in the size of the mobile phone.
