Embodiment Construction

[0017] An embodiment for inserting a formula at a position on the surface of the content in the user interface is provided. A user interface showing a status bar can be displayed on the computer, the status bar including one or more predetermined calculations. The computer can receive the selection of the predetermined calculation from the status bar in the user interface. The selected predetermined calculation can then be dragged from the status bar and inserted at a drop position on the content surface in the user interface. The computer can then automatically generate a formula corresponding to the selected predetermined calculation in the user interface.

[0018] figure 1 It is a computer screen display of the user interface 100 according to an embodiment, showing that the predetermined calculation 120 is dragged from the status bar 117 to the placement position 155 on the content surface 105; the user interface 100 can be generated by a productivity application executed by ...

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent application of the same name with the filing date of October 24, 2012 and the application number of 201210409069.0. Technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a method of inserting formulas, in particular to a summing formula that is always dragged and dropped. Background technique [0003] Computer productivity applications include functions for users to enter formulas to perform calculations on data, which can be displayed in spreadsheets or forms created by word processing applications. Generally speaking, the task of entering or typing formulas is a difficult task for many users because they must understand all function names and syntax to type formulas in the application. The above tasks are particularly difficult on tablet or touch slate type devices because of the increased difficulty of typing on a virtual keyboard or on-screen keyboard. For example, in many tablet computing devices, users mu...
