Description

Touchpad management method and system

technical field

The invention relates to a touch panel management method and system, in particular to a touch panel management method and system of a portable computer.

Background technique

Laptop computers, also known as laptop computers and laptop computers, have become more and more popular because of their convenient portability and ideal cost performance. Laptop computers are generally equipped with a touch panel, which makes the portable computer convenient to use when it is carried out. However, when using a portable computer in a fixed place, the touchpad is still not convenient enough compared with the mouse, so users usually connect an external mouse. However, if the touchpad is not disabled when an external mouse is connected, it is easy to accidentally touch the touchpad when typing on the keyboard, causing the input focus to change, causing unexpected troubles. The current method of disabling the touchpad and enabling the touchpad is generally to press the designated function key, but this needs to manually perform an operation of disabling the touchpad or enabling the touchpad every time the mouse is plugged and unplugged, which brings inconvenience to the user.

The following specific embodiments will further illustrate the present invention in conjunction with the above-mentioned drawings.

Detailed ways

Referring to FIG. 1 , it is an operating environment diagram of a preferred embodiment of the touch panel management system of the present invention. In this embodiment, the touchpad management system 10 runs in a laptop computer 1 , and the laptop computer 1 further includes a touchpad 20 and a memory 30 . The touchpad management system 10 is used for disabling the touchpad 20 when the laptop computer 1 is connected with the mouse 2 , and enabling the touchpad 20 when the laptop computer 1 is not connected with the mouse 2 . The mouse 2 may be a mouse with a USB interface, a mouse with a PS/2 interface, or the like.

Referring to FIG. 2 , it is a functional block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the touch panel management system of the present invention. The touch panel management system 10 can be activated when the portable computer 1 is started, and can also be activated by the user when needed. In this embodiment, the touchpad management system 10 includes a preset module 101 , a monitoring module 102 , a first judging module 103 , a disabling module 104 , a second judging module 105 and an enabling module 106 .

The preset module 101 is used to preset the monitoring frequency for monitoring whether the laptop computer 1 is connected with the mouse 2 , and store the monitoring frequency in the memory 30 . For example, the monitoring frequency can be 2 times per second, and then from the start of the touchpad management system 10, whether the mouse 2 is connected to the portable computer 1 is monitored every 0.5 seconds.

The preset module 101 is also used to preset the enable key for enabling the touchpad 20 and the disable key for disabling the touchpad 20 , and store the enable key and disable key in the memory 30 . The enable key and the disable key can be combination keys of certain function keys on the keyboard of the laptop computer 1 . For example, the enabling key can be a combination key of "Fn+F2". When the Fn key and the F2 key are pressed simultaneously, the touchpad 20 is enabled. When the Fn key and the F3 key are pressed, the touchpad 20 is disabled. Certainly, the enabling key and the disabling key may also be the same, for example, they are both a combination key of "Fn+F3".

The monitoring module 102 is used to monitor whether the laptop computer 1 is connected with the mouse 2 according to the preset monitoring frequency. The method for monitoring whether the laptop computer 1 is connected with the mouse 2 can be: enumerate the devices in the laptop computer 1 operating system, such as USB devices or PS/2 devices, etc., thereby obtaining various devices externally connected to the laptop computer 1 device descriptor, and judge whether there is a mouse 2 externally connected to the laptop computer 1 according to the device descriptor.

The first judging module 103 is used for judging whether the touchpad 20 is enabled when it is detected that the laptop computer 1 is connected to the mouse 2 .

The disabling module 104 is used for simulating a keyboard operation to press a preset disabling key on the laptop 1 when the first judging module 103 judges that the touchpad 20 is enabled, thereby disabling the touchpad 20 . The method of pressing the preset disabled key on the laptop computer 1 by simulating the keyboard operation can be as follows: generating and inputting the keyboard ASCII code (American Standard Code for Information Interchange, American Standard Code for Information Interchange) corresponding to the disabled key.

The second judging module 105 is used for judging whether the touchpad 20 is enabled when it is detected that the laptop computer 1 is not connected to the mouse 2 .

The enabling module 106 is configured to simulate keyboard operations to press a preset enabling key on the laptop 1 when the second judging module 105 judges that the touchpad 20 is not in the enabled state, thereby enabling the touchpad 20 . The method of simulating keyboard operation to press a preset enabling key on the laptop computer 1 may be as follows: generating and inputting the keyboard ASCII code corresponding to the enabling key.

Referring to FIG. 3 , it is a flow chart of a preferred embodiment of the touchpad management method of the present invention.

Before entering step S01, the preset module 101 presets the monitoring frequency for monitoring whether the portable computer 1 is connected with the mouse 2, and enables the enabling key of the touchpad 20 and the disabling key of disabling the touchpad 20, and sets the monitoring frequency , the enabling key and the disabling key are stored in the memory 30.

In step S01, the monitoring module 102 monitors whether the laptop computer 1 is connected with the mouse 2 according to the preset monitoring frequency. If it is detected that the laptop computer 1 is connected with the mouse 2, then step S02 is executed. Mouse 2, then execute step S04.

Step S02, the first judging module 103 judges whether the touchpad 20 is in the enabled state, if the first judging module 103 judges that the touchpad 20 is in the enabled state, then execute step S03, if the first judging module 103 judges that the touchpad 20 is not in the enabled state , the process ends.

Step S03 , the disabling module 104 simulates a keyboard operation and presses a preset disabling key on the laptop 1 , thereby disabling the touchpad 20 and ending the process.

Step S04, the second judging module 105 judges whether the touchpad 20 is in the enabled state, if the second judging module 105 judges that the touchpad 20 is not in the enabled state, then execute step S05, if the second judging module 105 judges that the touchpad 20 is in the enabled state , the process ends.

Step S05 , the enabling module 106 simulates a keyboard operation and presses a preset enabling key on the portable computer 1 , thereby activating the touchpad 20 and ending the process.

The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention without limitation. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
