Description

 Touch sensing area shape sensing area for input device {Areas in the touch input device shaped image sensing area chiyong}

The present invention generally relates to a sensed area shape associated with a touch sensing device.

Currently there are many ways of input devices to perform operations in today's computer systems. These actions are typically paged, scrolling, panning, zooming, using keyboards, joysticks and mice, and using hand gestures to rotate, push or pull sideways. , And so on.

Keyboard and mouse devices are input devices, which generally operate mechanical switches. They use contact points to move the operation signals using the Yes and No methods, and use a combination of keys to direct and move small pointers on the screen. Electronic devices that direct and input directions with a combination of hand gestures have emerged, and manipulating electronic devices using touch screen pads will make people more demanding in the future.

Using electronic devices with one hand gesture, the user's fingers cross the touchpad or move in a specific direction to reflect the user's instructions on a small screen and make specific selections to provide limited control.

On the other hand, the touch screen is a display screen having a structure of a conductive panel and glass covering a flat screen, or in the case of a touch pad, input and output in a combination used as a material for reinforced plastics and aluminum film, etc. Run

In this process, the means for touching and instructing commands on the screen until recently have been performed by the role of a switch, which has been continuously used on the touch screen due to touch, but recently, a few additional command processes were added by adding a command by hand. In the state, they pointed directly to the GUI object using electronic devices and combined the elements to execute commands and reflect the user's instructions on the small electronic devices.

As the user's various needs and the development of more electronic devices are in the process of requiring new input means, and the development of touch screen technology requires more various users' input methods.

 It is developed from the method of operating with a limited fingertip, and it is possible to instruct additional functions more variously and quickly apply the input combination by grasping the shape of the detection area by using the shape of the detection area in contact with the touch screen. Instructing the operation of can realize the performance of the rapidly developing electronic devices with more input means.

Apple Computer, Inc., U. S. Patent Nos. 5,612, 719 and 5,590, 219, assigned to U. S., describe some other use of gestures and U. S. Patents 5,612, 719 respond to at least two different button gestures made on or near a button on a screen. An on-screen button is disclosed and US Pat. No. 5,590,219 discloses a patented method for recognizing an elliptical gesture input on a display screen of a computer system and recently improved gestures for a touch sensitive input device.

It is used to catch objects that are the easiest action when a variety of ubiquitous environment and emergency occurs by using the detection area in the situation where the user's hand movement is limited in terms of the touch sensing device of small and large electronic devices. As it can be used to press the fingers and palms, the user command process utilizing the sensing area shape is required to advance the user-centered electronics.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for processing an input using the shape of the sensing area to be touched.

The method of the present invention includes reading data from a multipoint touch screen. The data relates to the input of a touch sensitive area shape associated with the touch screen. The method also includes identifying the shape, size, and distribution of the at least one multipoint region based on data from the multipoint touch screen.

 In another embodiment of the present invention, the present invention relates to a method for sensing the shape, size, and distribution of a sensing area.

The method of the present invention includes detecting a sensing area shape on the surface of the touch sensing area, measuring and comparing the input length and shape with each other when operated for a predetermined time, and simultaneously detecting a plurality of sensing area shapes in different sensing areas. do.

 The method of the present invention includes the step of sensing a plurality of touch sensing area shapes at the same time at least two or more separate sensing areas by the input and operation time of the length, shape and shape.

Input of each touch sensing area shape is shortcut key and program exit, power button, image object and icon link, enlarge and reduce to a certain size, save and call page, return to page, copy and save page, delete, emergency contact, direction key Etc. have different functions.

The method also includes generating a different command for each detected detection zone shape.

In another embodiment of the invention, the invention is directed to a sensing area shape method.

The detection area shape measures the shape of the area, so that the electronic device can identify and infer what the user is in the process of operation and use. For example, if the user just grabbed the handle when exercising on the exercise machine, the exercise would occur, and if the signal disappeared from the handle and the chair, the user would expect to stop working or take a break.

In the method and method of the present invention, the click portion is changed upward in selecting an image object which is a small icon by using an electronic device, and the click confirmation image object that is the target target is accurately identified, enlarged and reduced by the method used in the existing computer. It will be used as a means to improve the user environment and to connect the existing computer network base more efficiently in using multi-network communication and electronic information with faster internet search and work efficiency.

Conventional input devices using keyboards and mice are not suitable for the ubiquitous environment. Recently, a specific signal is connected to the GUI by using a gesture of a finger and is used as an input device of an electronic device. However, the user's hand motion is limited to one hand only. It is limited to operation.

This method is not used as an input means by utilizing the shape of the sensing area, and the user's hand is pressed in the shape of the fingers and palms of the fingertips and more various areas and other users' postures. If you take advantage of this and use the touch screen contact points and coordinates, users can move to the touch screen screen or make a touch of a finger when there is an urgent situation or a situation that requires urgent selection when panic. By pressing according to the shape of the sensing area of the finger shape, the command of the electronic device may be connected to the 119 according to the user's preference, or the like may be input to the electronic device.

Commands specified in the present invention can be used to perform a variety of tasks and to perform a variety of operations of the electronic device without using both hands when exercising or working, it is more easy to use input means and do not utilize the keyboard and mouse If you use the detection area in a user-centered electronic device environment, you can improve the inconvenience caused by difficult input process on smart phones, electronic pads, and large touch screens.

When touching or using electronic devices in terms of the use of touch sensing devices of small electronic devices and large electronic devices, electronic devices can be used as an input means for checking the user's condition or as a tool that can utilize electronic devices without placing a handle during operation. When playing with electronic devices, it is more convenient for the user to use and to adjust the direction than to turn the finger or draw a line, rather than turning the finger or drawing a line.

In the situation where the user's hand movement is limited, using the detection area, the user's center of gravity can use the finger and palm pressing action as the easiest action is used when catching an object when a diverse and ubiquitous environment and an emergency occurs. In order to advance the device, a user command process using a sensing area shape is required.
