【detailed description】

In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, a cursor sliding input method comprises the following steps:

Step S102, acquiring the position of the cursor on the display screen.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , the user controls the cursor to move freely on the display screen 10 by sliding the mouse. First obtain the position of the cursor on the display screen 10 in real time, preferably, record it in the form of pixel coordinates.

Step S104, judging whether the position of the cursor is located at the edge of the display screen, if yes, execute step S106, otherwise end the input step.

Step S106, acquiring the sliding direction of the mouse.

After the position of the cursor on the display screen 10 is obtained, that is, in this embodiment, after the coordinate value of the cursor on the display screen 10 is obtained, it is determined whether the coordinates of the cursor position are the edge of the display screen. If yes, further obtain the sliding direction of the mouse. Since the sliding of the mouse causes the cursor to move freely in the four directions of up, down, left, and right on the display screen 10, the sliding direction of the mouse here can be converted into a direction corresponding to the four directions of the display screen 10, up, down, left, and right. For the case of mouse inversion, only a simple inversion calculation is required. Here, the sliding direction of the mouse can be further quantified as represented by symbols, codes or electrical signals.

Step S108, judging whether the sliding direction of the mouse makes the cursor tend to move out of the display screen, if yes, execute step S110, otherwise end the input step.

Step S110, lock the cursor on the edge of the screen to move, and send a preset command to the command processing system.

After the cursor is at the edge of the display screen 10 and the sliding direction of the mouse is acquired, continue to judge whether the sliding direction of the mouse makes the cursor tend to move out of the display screen 10 . That is, if the cursor is positioned at the left edge of the display screen 10, if the obtained sliding direction of the mouse is also left, then the sliding direction of the mouse makes the cursor tend to move out of the display screen 10 to the left (of course, since the cursor is a virtual image, it does not may move off the monitor screen, hence the term "trend" here).

When it is detected that the cursor tends to move out of the display screen 10 by judging the sliding direction of the mouse, the cursor is locked on the edge of the screen to move, and a preset command is sent to the command processing system. Locking the cursor on the edge of the screen allows the cursor to move along the edge of the display screen without causing the cursor to move out of the screen or disappear.

In this embodiment, preferably, after obtaining the sliding direction of the mouse, the sliding speed of the mouse is also obtained. Before the preset command is sent to the command processing system, the command corresponding to the speed of the sliding speed of the mouse is also predefined.

For example, an instruction for adjusting the volume corresponding to the speed of the mouse's sliding speed is predefined. That is, when the sliding speed of the mouse is fast, the speed of increasing or decreasing the volume is fast; when the speed of sliding of the mouse is slow, the speed of increasing or decreasing the volume is slow.

Preferably, a quantitative display area is also provided on the display screen 10 . After the sliding speed of the mouse is obtained, the obtained sliding speed of the mouse is also displayed proportionally by numerical value or/and animation in the quantitative display area.

As shown in FIG. 2 , a quantitative display area 20 is also preset in the lower left corner of the display screen 10 for quantitatively displaying the size of the mouse sliding speed. The quantization display area 20 includes a number display area 22 and a progress bar 24 . After the sliding speed of the mouse is obtained, it is converted according to a certain ratio, and then can be displayed in the digital display area 22 and the progress bar 24 respectively. Preferably, the color of the progress bar 24 can also be changed according to the sliding speed of the mouse and/or multiple reference speeds can be marked on the progress bar 24 .

Preferably, after the cursor is locked on the edge of the screen and moves, a sound prompt is played to notify the user that the input starts.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , the upper, lower, left, and right edges of the display screen 10 are respectively preset with a plurality of intervals, as indicated by A, B, C, D, E, and F in the figure. After the cursor is locked on the edge of the screen and moved, the range where the cursor is located on the edge of the display screen is also acquired. Before the preset command is sent to the command processing system, the command corresponding to the interval of the edge of the display screen is also predefined.

For example, in this embodiment, the command corresponding to the predefined section A is "zoom in", the command corresponding to section B is "zoom out", and the command corresponding to section C is "restore the original size". Then, when it is acquired that the cursor is located in the A section of the edge of the display screen 10, and the cursor has a tendency to move out of the display screen 10 to the left, an instruction of "zooming in" is sent to the instruction processing system; In the interval C, and the cursor tends to move upwards out of the display screen 10, an instruction "restore the original size" is sent to the instruction processing system.

For another example, in this embodiment, the command corresponding to the predefined section D is "mute", and the command corresponding to section E is "switch desktop". Then, when it is acquired that the cursor is located in the D section on the edge of the display screen 10, adjust the volume to mute; when it is acquired that the cursor is located in the E section on the edge of the display screen 10, then switch the display screen 10 to a predetermined desktop.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 , the cursor sliding input device 100 includes a display 102 for obtaining the position of the cursor, an input device 104 for obtaining the sliding direction of the mouse, and a processor 106 respectively connected to the display 102 and the input device 104 . The processor 106 receives the data including the sliding direction of the mouse sent by the input device 104, and when it detects that the sliding direction of the mouse makes the cursor move out of the screen of the display 102, it sends a preset command to the command processing system and sends it to the display 102. first signal. After receiving the first signal, the display 102 locks the cursor on the edge of the display screen of the display.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , the display 102 includes a display screen 10 . A cursor is displayed on the display screen 10, and the display 102 acquires the position of the cursor in real time, preferably, the position of the cursor is recorded using pixel coordinate values.

In this embodiment, the input device 104 is disposed in a mouse, and in other implementation manners, it may also be disposed in devices such as a trackball and a touch pad. The input device 104 is used to obtain the sliding direction of the mouse. Since the sliding of the mouse causes the cursor to move freely in the four directions of up, down, left, and right on the display screen 10, the sliding direction of the mouse here can be converted into a direction corresponding to the four directions of the display screen 10, up, down, left, and right. For the case of mouse inversion, only a simple inversion calculation is required. Here, the sliding direction of the mouse can be further quantified as represented by symbols, codes or electrical signals. The input device 104 sends the obtained sliding direction of the mouse to the processor 106 .

The processor 106 receives the data including the sliding direction of the mouse sent by the input device 104 . When the cursor is at the edge of the display screen 10 and the processor 106 acquires the sliding direction of the mouse, the processor 106 continues to determine whether the sliding direction of the mouse makes the cursor tend to move out of the display screen 10 . That is, when the cursor is positioned at the left edge of the display screen 10, if the obtained sliding direction of the mouse is also left, then the sliding direction of the mouse makes the cursor move out of the display screen 10 to the left (certainly, since the cursor is a virtual image, it cannot may move off the monitor screen, hence the term "trend" here).

When the processor 106 detects that the mouse sliding direction makes the cursor tend to move out of the screen of the display 102 , it sends a preset command to the command processing system and sends a first signal to the display 102 . After receiving the first signal, the display 102 locks the cursor on the edge of the display screen. Locking the cursor to move at the edge of the screen means that the cursor can move along the edge of the screen of the display 102 without causing the cursor to move out of the screen or disappear.

Preferably, the input device 104 also detects the sliding speed of the mouse, and the data sent to the processor 106 also includes the sliding speed of the mouse, preferably represented by symbols, codes or electrical signals. The cursor sliding input device 100 also includes a first memory 108 connected to the processor 106 . Instructions corresponding to the sliding speed of the mouse are stored in the first memory 108 . The processor 106 searches the first memory 108 for corresponding instructions according to the received sliding speed of the mouse, and sends them to the instruction processing system.

For example, the first memory 108 pre-stores an instruction for adjusting the volume which is proportional to the speed of the mouse sliding. Then, when the processor 106 receives a large value of the mouse sliding speed, it uses a large value to adjust the volume amplitude; when the processor 106 receives a small value of the mouse sliding speed, it uses a small value to adjust the volume value. That is, when the sliding speed of the mouse is fast, the speed of increasing or decreasing the volume is fast; when the speed of sliding of the mouse is slow, the speed of increasing or decreasing the volume is slow.

Preferably, a quantitative display area is also provided on the display screen 10 . The data sent by the processor 106 to the display 102 also includes the sliding speed of the mouse, and the display 102 displays the sliding speed in the quantitative display area in a digital or/and animation manner in proportion.

As shown in FIG. 2 , a quantitative display area 20 is also preset in the lower left corner of the display screen 10 for quantitatively displaying the size of the mouse sliding speed. The quantization display area 20 includes a number display area 22 and a progress bar 24 . After the display 102 obtains the sliding speed of the mouse, it converts it according to a certain ratio, and then displays it in the digital display area 22 and the progress bar 24 respectively. Preferably, the color of the progress bar 24 can also be changed according to the sliding speed of the mouse and/or multiple reference speeds can be marked on the progress bar 24 .

Preferably, the cursor sliding input device 100 further includes an audio device 110 connected to the processor 106 . After the processor 106 sends the first signal to the display 102 , it continues to send the second signal to the audio device 110 . After receiving the second signal, the audio device 110 plays a sound prompt for prompting the user to start inputting.

In this embodiment, preferably, as shown in FIG. 2 , the upper, lower, left, and right edges of the display screen 10 are respectively preset with a plurality of intervals, as indicated by A, B, C, D, E, and F in the figure. After the display 102 locks the cursor on the edge of the screen and moves, it also acquires the area where the cursor is located at the edge of the display screen 10 .

The cursor sliding input device 100 also includes a second memory 112 connected to the processor 106 . Instructions corresponding to the intervals on the edge of the display screen 10 are stored in the second memory 112 . The processor 106 searches the second memory 112 for the corresponding instruction according to the area where the cursor is located on the edge of the display screen 10 sent by the display 102, and sends it to the instruction processing system.

For example, in this embodiment, the correspondence between the pre-stored intervals and instructions in the second memory 112 is: the instruction corresponding to the A interval is "zoom in", the instruction corresponding to the B interval is "zoom out", and the instruction corresponding to the C interval is "zoom in". Restore original size". Then, when it is acquired that the cursor is located in the A section of the edge of the display screen 10, and the cursor has a tendency to move out of the display screen 10 to the left, an instruction of "zooming in" is sent to the instruction processing system; In the interval C, and the cursor tends to move upwards out of the display screen 10, an instruction "restore the original size" is sent to the instruction processing system.

For another example, in this embodiment, the command corresponding to the predefined section D is "mute", and the command corresponding to section E is "switch desktop". Then, when it is acquired that the cursor is located in the D section on the edge of the display screen 10, adjust the volume to mute; when it is acquired that the cursor is located in the E section on the edge of the display screen 10, then switch the display screen 10 to a predetermined desktop.

After adopting the above-mentioned cursor sliding input method and device, the user only needs to continuously slide the mouse in one direction to complete the input operation when inputting, and does not need to precisely select a certain area, making the input operation more convenient and faster.

After adding the mouse speed mapping command and the mouse speed quantization display area, the user can be prompted for the current input command. After adding the sound prompt function, it can well remind the user when the input has started, effectively avoiding the user to start repeatedly. After adding the interval mapping instructions on the edge of the display screen, a sample set of input instructions is added to facilitate the user to input various instructions.

The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation modes of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but should not be construed as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
