1333166 HTC95088-0-TW 23643twf.doc/n IX. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for identifying a type of input tool of a user interface, and in particular, various aspects of the above identification method Extend the app. [Prior Art] In the busy and compact life of modern people, everything is about convenience and efficiency. It has become a very common habit. For example, in the case of hand-held splitting such as mobile phones or personal assistants, in addition to being both powerful and lightweight, users will most likely want to turn on and perform the required functions in a very short period of time. . This is especially true for features that users use more often, such as writing a newsletter or querying a call log. Using f to quickly turn on some common functions when operating a handheld device is bound to improve the convenience of the handheld device. In order to meet the above requirements, manufacturers of handheld devices have been designed to have specific functions commonly used on the keyboard or casing of the hand-held device. According to this, when the user presses the hot key, the corresponding commonly used function can be quickly turned on, thereby shortening the time required for searching and opening the function. For example, some mobile phone manufacturers will set a button to turn on the camera function on the side of the phone. When the user presses the button, the camera function of the phone can be activated immediately. However, under the trend of lighter and lighter handheld devices, there is very limited space for manufacturing Weishang to set hotkeys. In addition, the user's requirements for the appearance of the handheld device should not be neglected. In order to ensure that the appearance of the handheld device conforms to the requirements of simplicity and beauty, the manufacturer must control 5 1333166 HTC95088-0-TW 23643twf.doc/ n The number of hotkeys, so only a small number of hotkeys can be used to quickly connect to frequently used functions. 'Because of this', only a very small portion of the functions in the handheld device have corresponding hot keys for the user to quickly turn on. However, when the user wants to perform a function that does not have a corresponding hot key, the user must start the operation by operating the menu. Since the menu of the handheld device is mostly a tree structure, and most of the selections are displayed on the display of the handheld device, the user may need to • point the user interface displayed on the display on the touch sensing device overlapping the display. After entering multiple sub-menus, you can find the desired function options. For some of the more commonly used functions, if you have to open the execution in the above way, it will inevitably take a lot of operation time, which will cause a lot of inconvenience in use. In general, S, at present, most users use the contact or sensing behavior between the finger or the stylus and the touch sensing device to perform the action/'but on a general handheld device, whether through a finger or There is no corresponding difference between the stylus pen and the line-selecting device provided on the handheld device (the user interface shown in Figure 6). However, when the user inputs the touch sensing device by using the handcuffs and the stylus respectively, the inputting features are different. Generally, the stylus is more accurate than the user's finger, and the user can interface with the user. Perform more precise manipulations, such as typing on a virtual keyboard displayed on the display or selecting on a more densely arranged menu. On the other hand, it is more intuitive, quick and convenient for the user to directly move the finger on the touch sensing device, because the action of extracting the stylus can be omitted and the operation can be performed with one hand, although Hand 6 1333166 HTC95088-0-TW 23643twf.doc/n means that the contact area with the touch sensing device is large, and it is easier to accidentally touch other options on the user interface. In summary, the current general handheld devices have some disadvantages. One of the specific functions of the handheld device requires the user to expand the layered menu before selecting and starting. The second is that when the user operates on the user interface displayed on the general handheld device, the manipulation by the stylus is more flexible, which is more troublesome for the user, and if the user operates with the finger, the user It is more convenient, but the flexibility of the control is reduced, and it is easy to cause false touches. It is difficult for the user to achieve the best of both worlds whether using a stylus or a finger. Therefore, if the handheld device can give a different application or operation mode to the user for different input tools, for example, when using a stylus, the handheld device has an application or operation mode suitable for the stylus, and the finger is used. In this case, the handheld device has another application or mode of operation suitable for finger use, which is convenient for the user to use the handheld device. In addition, 'how to choose among these different applications or modes of operation is also the subject of this extension. In addition, the outer casing of the conventional handheld device is usually adjacent to the edge of the display area of the touch control display, and the touch sensing surface of the touch control display is much more convex. Since the protruding portion of the outer casing blocks the touch operation of the input tool (including the finger or the stylus pen) and easily scratches the finger, the user cannot quickly and effectively contact the pixels at the edge of the display area of the touch control display. It is impossible to perform smooth touch operation, and the 'non-display area of the touch control display still has the capability of touch sensing' and the outer casing of the general handheld device usually covers this area 7 1333166 HTC95088-0-TW 23643twf.d〇c /n and let the touch field of the touch control display, in addition to hindering the user's touch operation, the application of the sensing is limited. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, the present invention provides an operating system interface. This operating system is executed by the code to integrate at least one hardware == the type of input tool that recognizes a signal. This operating system program includes the shouting code for touching the human domain, the input tool face code for generating the i signal, and the code for executing the preset function according to the guard.

This information can be used to contact or approach the touch sensor's position or pressure, or other relevant information. In the present invention - the embodiment, the step of determining the kind of the tool includes the following steps. First, the number of sensing pads on the touch sensing device is calculated in a specific time, and then according to the number of sensing pads that generate the sensing. In the embodiment of the invention, the preset function may be to switch the corresponding user interface according to the tool type or to turn on or off a certain function according to the type of the tool. The invention judges the input tool of the input tool when the input tool contacts or approaches the touch sensing deer device of the electronic device, and the contact area, the joint force, the sense, the tool temperature, or the image of the input tool are used to judge the input tool. With kind. ^ And according to the different tool faces, automatically convert and display the corresponding user :: face can also automatically turn on or off specific functions according to the type of tool. This improves the efficiency of switching the user interface while increasing the convenience of operating the electronic device. The above described features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description. [Embodiment] In the case of a handheld device, the user can only quickly turn on certain functions by pressing the hot key, but the number of hot keys of the handheld ^ can provide a quick access to the user. Also show more 1333166 23643twf.doc/n

HTC95〇88-〇-tW 1 user interface of common functions, it is bound to increase the operation of the handheld device. I have developed a method based on the above-mentioned viewpoint and the handheld device using the method. . In order to make the content of this = more clear, the following specific embodiments are examples of the actual implementation of the present invention. 1 is a flow diagram of an it method of a user interface in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Fig. 1. This embodiment is a detailed step of explaining how to automatically convert the corresponding user interface according to the difference of the input tool when using a handheld device. Among them, hand-held splicing includes mobile phones, personal digital assistants or smart phones, etc., and does not limit its scope. When the user operates the handheld device by using the input tool, firstly, as shown in step 11G, the handheld device receives the input in the device interface in step 120, and touches or contacts the touch sensing device according to the wheeling tool. The area, pressure, temperature, or image sensed by the sensing device is used to determine the type of tool used to enter the guard. Finally, if the step = 3 〇 tit holding device converts and displays the corresponding user interface according to the tool type _ column. It should be noted that the above-mentioned operation method can be divided into two parts, one part is the identification method of the wheel human tool (ie, step iiq and step 12〇), and the second part is based on the result. Step 130). That is to say, in the method flow shown in Figure ,, the identification method of step 11G and 12G, and the steps after the step 120 are designed according to actual application requirements. 1333166 HTC95088-0-TW 23643twf.doc/n in Figure 2 is only used to indicate an embodiment of the application (conversion of the user interface). In this embodiment, the handheld device displays the corresponding user interface according to different tool types. For convenience of description, in the following embodiments, two different input tools are distinguished, such as a stylus and a user's finger, and the corresponding users are respectively converted according to two different tool types. The flow of the interface will further illustrate the present invention. Any number of tool types may be included within the scope of the invention. In the following embodiments, the user interface of the corresponding stylus is a general user interface including all functions of the handheld device, and the user interface of the corresponding finger is a common functional interface for displaying some functions of the handheld device. The functions displayed on the common function interface can be preset by the user according to their habits or needs. In this embodiment, there are various methods for judging the types of input tools, and different judging methods require different hardware designs, as shown in the block diagrams of the handheld devices of Figs. 2A to 2D, which are sequentially described below. The handheld device of Figure 2A includes a display 210, a touch sensing device 220, and a processor 23A. The display 21 is used to display a user interface. The touch sensing device 220 is, for example, a touch panel for detecting the operation of the input tool and generating an input signal according to the operation of the input tool. The processor 230 is coupled to the display 210 and the touch sensing device 220.

The type of tool used to determine the input tool' and the corresponding user interface D according to the type of tool. The touch sensing device 220 of FIG. 2A includes a resistive sensor device 24". Resistive sensor can sense input 1333166 HTC95088-0-TW 23643twf.doc/n

With the contact position and pressure during operation, therefore, the input signal of the device should include the position and pressure of the contact of the input device. 2. Note that the resistance wire detector can only provide one contact point at the same time: The input signal 'and the contact point will be distributed within the contact area of the input device and the electric sensor" as shown in ® 3A and 3B. The resistive flipper itself determines whether there is contact with the input king, and cannot input the type of the tool. Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with the method provided by the present invention to input the plurality of contact points collected in a certain period of time. Signal to determine the type of input tool. As shown in FIG. 3A, the contact points M to t_4 of the stylus pen are relatively concentrated because the contact area of the stylus is small, and the contact with the resistive sensor can be determined by the method provided by the present invention. The input tool is a stylus. FIG. 3B illustrates the contact points t-1 to t_4 of the finger. Since the contact area of the finger is large, the contact point is relatively dispersed. By the method provided by the present invention, the input tool contacting the resistive sensor can be determined as a finger. . Since the resistive sensor can only provide one contact point at the same time

The processor 23, which performs the method provided by the present invention (described in detail below), continuously records the information of the input signal for a certain period of time, calculates the range of the change, and then judges the type of the input tool according to the size of the range of the change. Taking the four contact points of Figs. 3A and 3B as an example, it is assumed that the rounding signal generated by the contact point t_i is (Xi, Yi, Pi)' where i can be 1, 2, 3, 4. Along the "X coordinate of the contact position, Yi is the γ coordinate of the contact position of ti, and pi is the contact pressure of ti. The processor 230 can calculate the average value of the position and pressure as follows: 12 1333166 HTC95088-0-TW 23643twf. Doc/n X Coordinate average: Xa = (X1 + X2 + Χ3 + 4 Y coordinate average: Ya=m+Y2 + Y3 + pressure average: Pa, Pl+P2 + P3+p4)/4' The range is as follows |Xa - X2| Then the position and pressure of the variable X coordinate can be calculated separately: Xd is called 2 + + + Xa-X3| + |Xa-X4|

Y coordinate variation range: Yd = |Ya —Yl| + |Ya-Y3| + |Ya-Y4| + |Ya-Y2| Pressure variation range: Pd=|Pa-P1| + |Pa + |Pa-P3| + |Pa-P4| As for how to classify the position and pressure according to the class, the details of the process as shown in the figure... Figure 4 is the processor of Figure 2-8.

The = method flow chart '...the process is based on the connection ==:, in step 420, the contact is recorded every other preset sampling time: X, Y coordinates. Next, in step (4), it is checked whether the number of samples is sufficient, = the preset number of processors 230 has been satisfied, the flow proceeds to step 44, and returns to step 420 to continue recording. Next, in step 440, the variation range of the different contact positions, Yd', is checked in step 450 whether Xd &lt; Vx and &lt; Vy, where ν χ and V y are preset ranges of the processor 230. If the range of the two coordinates is 13 1333166 HTC95088-0-TW 23643twf.doc/n is less than the corresponding preset range, the processor 230 determines in step 460 that the input tool type is a stylus, and converts the user interface into a corresponding common user interface. Otherwise, the processor 230 determines in step 470 that the input tool type is a finger and converts the user interface into a corresponding common function interface. Fig. 4B is a flow chart showing another method for identifying the type of input tool executed by the processor 230. The flow of the item 4B is based on the change of the contact pressure to determine the type of the tool. The processor 23 samples the contact pressure of the input tool every step of step 421, calculates the contact pressure of the helmet at step 441, and then checks in step 451 whether or not pd < Vp, where v is interesting, and the processor 230 is pre-processed. Set the scope. If pd &lt; Vp, the processor 23 is in the cow pair = the input type is determined to be a stylus, and the user interface is converted to the common user interface of i =. Otherwise, the processor 230 determines in step 470 that the second user has a user's interface to convert the month =. The remaining steps of _ are the same as _, and no further discretion of the type of input tool performed by the processor 230 is performed: the two streams j are simultaneously based on the contact position and pressure. Ten ^ 1 ~ contact position of the variable rib diagram range, and contact pressure changes and IM &lt; v, moxibustion in step 4 2 to check whether Xd &lt; VX, Yd < Vy tool type is touched is 'processor 23g In step 働, the input interface is determined. (4);, the use of users to the common use of the job

The face is converted to the corresponding common function interface. The remaining steps of FIG. 4C 1333166 HTC95088-0-TW 23643twf.d〇c/n are the same as those of FIG. 4A and will not be described again. Next is another input tool type identification method under the hardware design. Please refer to FIG. 2B and FIG. 2B is a block diagram of a handheld device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between FIG. 2B and FIG. 2A is that the touch sensing device 220 of FIG. 2A is replaced with a touch sensor including a capacitive sensor device 250. Induction device 221. The capacitive sensor is constructed with a plurality of sensor pads arranged in an array. The sensing pad only produces a capacitive effect on a sufficiently large conductor to sense contact or proximity of the conductor. The finger is a conductor' that causes the sensor pad to sense. If the stylus is made of a conductor, the size is large enough to make the sensor pad feel. Capacitive sensors are typically sensed by scanning, so that multiple sensing pads can be sensed at the same time or in a short period of time. Since the capacitive sensor itself can only judge whether there is contact with the input tool and cannot distinguish the type of the input tool, it is necessary to cooperate with the method provided by the present invention by the input sensed by the plurality of contact pads in a short period of time. Signal to determine the type of input tool. The processor 230 of FIG. 2B, when performing the method provided by the present invention (described in detail below), calculates the magnitude of the sensing area based on the number of sensing pads that are sensed, and distinguishes that the input tool is a finger or a stylus. FIG. 5 is a machine diagram of the input tool type identification method executed by the processor 230 of FIG. 2B. First, at step 51, the contact or proximity of the input tool is measured every other sampling time, and then at step 52, it is checked whether the sensing pad is inductive. If not, go back to step 51 and continue to detect. If so, when step 530' calculates the input tool to operate the touch sensing device 221 in the pre-fabrication_setting, the sensing of the HTC95088-0-TW 23643twf.doc/n is generated in the capacitive sensor 25A. The number of pads. It is then checked in step 540 whether the number of sensing pads is less than a preset value of the processor 230. If the number of sensing pads is less than a preset value, the processor 230 determines in step 550 that the input tool type is a stylus and converts the user interface to a corresponding common user interface. Otherwise, the processor 230 determines in step 560 that the input tool type is a finger and converts the user interface into a corresponding common function interface. The above preset values can be set according to the density of the unit area of the sensor pad. 2C is a block diagram of a handheld device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between FIG. 2C and FIG. 2A is that the touch sensing device 220 of FIG. 2A is replaced with a touch sensing device 222 including a temperature sensor 260. In this embodiment, the processor 230 determines the type of the tool according to the tool temperature when the input tool contacts or approaches the touch sensing device 222. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2C simultaneously, when the user operates on the touch sensing device 222 by using the input tool, the processor 230 receives the corresponding input signal (step no). At this time, the processor 230 detects the temperature of the tool when the input tool is operated through the temperature sensor 260, and compares the tool temperature with a preset temperature (for example, the average of the room temperature and the body temperature). If the tool temperature is less than the preset temperature, the processor 230 determines that the input tool is a stylus, and otherwise determines that the input tool is a finger (step 120). Next, processor 230 displays a corresponding common user interface or common function interface on display 210 in accordance with the tool class, as described in the previous embodiment (step 130). In addition to utilizing differences in area, pressure, and temperature to determine the type of workmanship, in the embodiment of Figure 2D, processor 230 may also utilize image recognition techniques to determine the type of tool. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 21 simultaneously. FIG. 2D is a block diagram of a handheld device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between FIG. 2A and FIG. 2A is that the touch sensing of FIG. 2A is used. The agricultural device (10) is replaced with a touch sensing device i 223 including an image removal slit 270. When the user operates on the touch sensing device 223 using the wheel man tool, in step 11A, the processor (10) receives the input signal through the touch sensing device 223. Next, in step 12, the processor 230 controls the image capture|setting 27() extraction to include the input work = ' ^ according to the characteristics or size of the input guard in the image (dimen - to determine the tool type. For example, the processor 230 can determine the type of the tool at the edge of the tool through the image recognition technology, or calculate the size of the input tool in the image to determine the type of the tool. The _ input tool is a stylus, and in step 四 (4), the interface 1 processor 23 determines the input tool as a hand step 〇 and displays the phase function interface through the display.

Mr] The processor in the handheld device can adjust the user interface according to the tool _ user interface. When the processor determines that the input tool is a stylus, the option on the face 600 is displayed in a normal size. After the stomach is turned into the finger of the money, the 7m^ option is fully enlarged to the size of the hand-operated operation. As shown in the figure (10), it is convenient for the person to make the face through the finger. ^ operation. The above options include items such as images (lcon) or images (images) that can be selected with the input tool. In addition to the user interface of the handheld device according to the type of input tool, the handheld device of this month can also perform various preset functions in different ways according to the type of input tool, as shown in the figure. The process of 8 is shown. FIG. 8 is a flow diagram of a user interface operation method performed by the handheld device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The process is described in detail below. First, the processor of the handheld device receives the input signal through the control sensing device (step 810), determines the type of the input tool that generates the input parameter (step 820), and then executes the preset function according to the tool class (step 830). For example, the preset function may convert the corresponding user interface according to the type of the tool (step 84A), and the related details are included in the previous embodiment, and are not described again. The pre-pong function b of step 83 can also turn on or off the specific function according to the type of the tool (step 850). The processor can also perform other preset functions depending on the type of tool, and is not limited to the above examples. The specific function of step 8 50 may be a user interface navigation (br〇wsing) function. The user interface navigation functions described above may include user interface panning, user interface scrolling, or both (step 860). For example, when the input tool is a stylus, the user interface panning and scrolling function is turned off. When the input tool is a finger, the user interface panning and scrolling function is turned on, so that the user can pan or scroll the user interface by moving the finger. Display content. The detailed flow of step 860 is shown in Figure 8B. First, in step 861, it is judged that the input tool type is a finger, and the user interface panning and scrolling function is turned on. At step 862, it is checked if the contact or proximity of the finger has been removed. That is, whether the finger has left the touch sensing device. If not already left, the user interface translation function is performed in step 863, and the user interface 18 1333166 HTC95088-0-TW 23643twf.doc/n is panned as the user's finger moves. On the other hand, if the finger has left the touch sensing device, it is checked in step 864 if there is a movement while the finger is away. If there is no movement, the process ends here. If there is movement, proceed to step shame 5' to perform the user interface scrolling function, so that the user interface scrolls with the direction in which the finger moves. Alternatively, the particular function of step 850 can be a multiple selection function (step 870). For example, when the input tool is a stylus, the multi-selection function is enabled, so that the user can simultaneously select multiple data items or function items on the user interface by using the stylus, and the multi-selection function is turned off when the input tool is a finger, so that the user Only a single item can be selected at a time. Because the accuracy of the finger is not as easy to misselect as the stylus, it can improve the accuracy and efficiency of use. The detailed flow of step 870 is shown in Figure gc. First, in step 871, it is judged that the input tool type is a stylus, and the multiple selection function is turned on. Then in step 872, it is checked whether the stylus contacts or approaches the area of the touch sensing device to cover any options. If not, the process ends here. If so, in step 873 all options covered by the contact area are selected. In addition, after the processor determines the type of the input tool by performing the identification method provided by the present invention, other specific functions may be turned on or off according to the type of the input tool, and are not limited to the above examples. That is to say, in the method flow shown in FIG. 8A, the identification method provided by the present invention includes at least steps 810 and 820, and the steps after step 820 can be designed according to actual application requirements. Steps 83 to 87 of Figure 8 are only used to respectively represent a plurality of embodiments on the application. The handheld device of the above embodiment can be extended to a general electronic device, and the above 1333166 HTC95088-0-TW 23643twf.d〇c/n ==:= port or the sub-device _ operating system or application, program and other hard functions . The above-mentioned recording medium that can be read by the electronic device can be read by the Hi brain, and its operation is basically the same, and will not be described again.

It is an independent ‘two components, for example: using the display device and the touch sensing device 抻 salt temple α /, the display is not used to display the user interface, touch two: &amp; receive the round signal. In other embodiments of the present invention, the control sense device can constitute a touch display, as shown in FIG. 9α, FIG. 9A is a perspective view of a handheld electronic device with an unobstructed touch operation according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. A sectional view of the electronic device of 9. The electronic device includes a housing 9 (Π, a touch display 9〇2, and a processor 903. The housing 901 has an outer surface 904 and an accommodating space 905, and the accommodating space is provided by an opening 9 on the outer surface 904. The touch display 902 includes a display 907 and a touch sensing device 9〇 8. The display 907 is disposed in the housing space 9〇5 of the housing 910. The touch sensing device 908 is disposed in the housing. The opening 906 of the outer surface 904 of the body 901 is configured to receive an input tool. The touch sensing device 908 has a touch sensing plane 909, and the touch sensing plane 909 includes a display area 91 〇 and a non-display area 911. The edge of the opening 906 of the body 901 is continuously connected to the touch sensing plane 9〇9, and the outer surface 904 of the housing 901 does not protrude from the touch sensing plane 909, and the housing 901 referred to herein does not include the handheld electronic device. The hot key or the button is on. The processor 903 is lightly connected to the display 907 touch sensing device 908 for judging the type of the input tool, and executing the pre-processing according to the type of work: 20 1333166 HTC95088-0-TW 23643twf.doc/n Set the function. It is worth noting that The outer surface 904 of the housing 901 does not protrude from the touch sensing plane 909. The housing surface 904 and the touch sensing plane 909 correspond to a continuous smooth surface, allowing the input tool to move without any hindrance. The non-display area 911 exposed by the control sensing plane 909 is not covered by the housing 901 as is conventional. Therefore, in the design of the handheld electronic device, in addition to allowing the input tool to move without any hindrance, the Φ can be fully charged. With the non-display area 911, more applications for touch operations that are more convenient for the user are added. As in the previous embodiment, the area, pressure, and temperature of the touch sensing device 908 can be operated by the processor 903 according to the input tool. Or the image judges the input tool type. The details of the judgment process and the execution of the preset function have been found in the previous embodiments, and the description will not be repeated. In summary, the present invention can determine the type of the tool of the input tool and according to the type of the tool. Different to convert the corresponding user interface, or perform a variety of preset functions in different ways. This way, not only provides a quick turn® Different types of user interface methods also allow the user to operate the handheld device in a more convenient manner, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of use.
