Description

具有可切换使用者界面以及无阻碍触控操作的电子装置 Electronic device with switchable user interface and unobstructed touch operation

技术领域 technical field

本实用新型是有关于一种电子装置,且特别是有关于具有可切换使用者界面及无阻碍触控操作的电子装置。The utility model relates to an electronic device, in particular to an electronic device with a switchable user interface and unimpeded touch operation.

背景技术 Background technique

随着双指向装置(Pointing Stick and Touch Pad)技术的日新月异,无论是笔记本电脑、手机或是可携式多媒体播放器等电子产品的制造商,皆有利用触控式屏幕来取代传统键盘以做为新一代输入界面的趋势。以手机为例,使用者在操作传统手机时必须一边对照屏幕上的显示画面一边点选键盘,据此才能进行输入文字或选取选单等操作动作。然而,对于操作一个结合触控式屏幕的手机来说,使用者只需通过如触控笔(stylus)等装置,便可以直接在屏幕上输入文字或开启应用程序。由此可见,触控式屏幕实为一种更为便利的输入方式。With the rapid development of the two-pointing device (Pointing Stick and Touch Pad) technology, manufacturers of electronic products such as notebook computers, mobile phones or portable multimedia players are using touch screens to replace traditional keyboards for Trends for the new generation input interface. Taking a mobile phone as an example, when operating a traditional mobile phone, the user must click on the keyboard while comparing the display on the screen, and then perform operations such as inputting text or selecting a menu. However, for operating a mobile phone combined with a touch screen, the user only needs to use a device such as a stylus (stylus) to directly input text on the screen or open an application program. It can be seen that the touch screen is actually a more convenient input method.

但对于某些外型较为轻巧的手持电子装置来说,其触控式屏幕的大小有限,因此制造商在设计使用者界面时,势必得缩小选单的选项的大小,如此一来才能在屏幕上显示较多的功能选项。以内建有视窗操作系统的手持电子装置为例,视窗操作系统所支持的功能种类繁多,且多半是以阶层式选单的方式显示在“开始”功能表中。因此当使用者想要开启某项功能时,必须点选“开始”功能表,接着再从“开始”功能表中找寻欲执行的功能的选单位置,最后点选功能选单上的对应选项以开启该功能。经过逐层点选的动作才能开启需要的选单,对于操作手持电子装置而言无疑将造成相当多的不便。However, for some light-weight handheld electronic devices, the size of the touch screen is limited. Therefore, when designing the user interface, the manufacturer must reduce the size of the menu options so that they can be displayed on the screen. Display more functional options. Taking a handheld electronic device with a built-in Windows operating system as an example, the Windows operating system supports a wide variety of functions, and most of them are displayed in the "Start" menu in the form of hierarchical menus. Therefore, when the user wants to open a certain function, he must click the "Start" menu, then find the menu position of the function to be executed from the "Start" menu, and finally click the corresponding option on the function menu to open it. The function. The desired menu can only be opened by clicking layer by layer, which will undoubtedly cause considerable inconvenience to the operation of the handheld electronic device.

除此之外,倘若使用者不慎遗失触控笔,又或者是当触控笔不在手边时,碍于使用者界面的选项的大小,使用者可能被迫必须通过指尖来进行输入或操作选单等动作。在这样的情况下,则很容易会因为选项太小而选取到错误的选项,以致于开启了非必要的使用者界面。这样一来,使用者必须返回上一层使用者界面并重新进行操作,据此才能开启正确的使用者界面。不难想见,这种情况的发生势必将耗费许多不必要的操作时间。正因如此,如何让使用者能通过手指便可直接在触控式屏幕上顺利地开启各式使用者界面,进而方便地对使用者界面进行操作,绝对是提升操作电子装置便利性的重要因素之一。In addition, if the user accidentally loses the stylus, or when the stylus is not at hand, the user may be forced to use the fingertips to input or operate due to the size of the user interface options. Actions such as menus. In this case, it is easy to select the wrong option because the options are too small, so that unnecessary user interface is opened. In this way, the user must return to the user interface of the previous layer and perform operations again, so as to open the correct user interface. It is not difficult to imagine that the occurrence of this situation will inevitably consume a lot of unnecessary operating time. For this reason, how to enable users to open various user interfaces directly on the touch screen with their fingers, and then operate the user interfaces conveniently, is definitely an important factor in improving the convenience of operating electronic devices. one.

另外,传统的手持电子装置的外壳通常紧邻控触显示器的显示区边缘,且较控触显示器的触控感应平面凸出许多。由于外壳凸出部分会阻挡输入工具(包括手指或是触控笔)的控触操作且容易刮伤手指,因此使用者将不能快速且有效接触到控触显示器的显示区边缘的像素,而无法进行很平顺的触控操作,另外,控触显示器的非显示区仍具有触控感应的能力,而一般手持装置的外壳通常会覆盖住这个区域,除阻碍使用者的触控操作外,并让控触显示器的触控感应的应用受到限制。In addition, the shell of the traditional handheld electronic device is usually close to the edge of the display area of the touch display, and protrudes much more than the touch sensing plane of the touch display. Since the protruding part of the shell will block the touch operation of input tools (including fingers or stylus pens) and easily scratch the fingers, the user will not be able to quickly and effectively touch the pixels on the edge of the display area of the touch display, and cannot In addition, the non-display area of the touch display still has the ability of touch sensing, and the shell of the general handheld device usually covers this area, which not only hinders the user's touch operation, but also allows the The application of touch sensing in touch displays is limited.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways

当使用者在使用一个具有触控式显示器(touch display)的电子装置时,若不需经由操作选单便能快速地开启或切换不同的使用者界面,势必能缩短操作时间而增加使用上的效率。本实用新型便是基于上述观点进而发展出的一种使用者界面的操作方法。为了使本实用新型的内容更为明了,以下特举实施例做为本实用新型确实能够据以实施的范例。When a user is using an electronic device with a touch display, if he can quickly open or switch between different user interfaces without going through the operation menu, it will certainly shorten the operation time and increase the efficiency of use . The utility model is an operation method of a user interface developed based on the above viewpoint. In order to make the content of the utility model clearer, the following specific examples are given as examples in which the utility model can indeed be implemented.

图1是依照本实用新型一实施例所绘示的使用者界面的操作方法的流程图。本实施例是说明在具有触控式显示器的电子装置上,经由操作动作而开启使用者界面的详细步骤。其中电子装置包括手机、个人数字助理、智能手机及笔记本电脑等等,在此并不限制其范围。FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an operation method of a user interface according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is to illustrate the detailed steps of opening the user interface through operation actions on the electronic device with a touch-sensitive display. The electronic devices include mobile phones, personal digital assistants, smart phones, and notebook computers, etc., and the scope thereof is not limited here.

请参阅图1,首先如步骤110所示,检测输入工具接触触控式显示器时所产生的接触信号。其中,输入工具例如可以是使用者的手指或是触控笔等等。就触控式显示器的制造技术而言,在图2所绘示的电子装置200中,触控式显示器210可以分为显示区域211及非显示区域213。其中,显示区域211即为一般人所熟悉的触控式屏幕(touch screen)区域,其不仅可以用来显示画面,还可以让使用者利用输入工具直接在显示区域211上进行输入文字或点选选单等操作动作。而非显示区域213虽然无法用以显示画面,但仍具有传感功能,据此能检测输入工具的动作。在本实施例中,触控式显示器210的显示区域211及非显示区域213之间的接触面例如可以是位于同一平面或是不同平面,在此并不限制其范围。Please refer to FIG. 1 , first, as shown in step 110 , a touch signal generated when an input tool touches a touch-sensitive display is detected. Wherein, the input tool may be, for example, a user's finger or a stylus or the like. As far as the manufacturing technology of the touch display is concerned, in the electronic device 200 shown in FIG. 2 , the touch display 210 can be divided into a display area 211 and a non-display area 213 . Among them, the display area 211 is a touch screen (touch screen) area familiar to ordinary people, which can not only be used to display images, but also allow users to use input tools to directly input text or click menus on the display area 211. Wait for the action. Although the non-display area 213 cannot be used for displaying images, it still has a sensing function, so that the action of the input tool can be detected. In this embodiment, the contact surfaces between the display area 211 and the non-display area 213 of the touch-sensitive display 210 may be located on the same plane or different planes, and the scope thereof is not limited here.

接下来如步骤120所示,判断接触信号是否位于触控式显示器的特定区域当中。此特定区域包括了靠近显示区域边缘的边缘区域(即由显示区域的边缘向内不超过手指接触尺寸的范围,如图2所示的边缘区域215)、显示区域内的中心区域(即在显示区域中属于边缘区域以外的部分,例如图2所示的中心区域230),或是触控式显示器上的非显示区域(如图2所示的非显示区域213)。Next, as shown in step 120, it is determined whether the contact signal is located in a specific area of the touch-sensitive display. This specific area includes the edge area near the edge of the display area (that is, the range from the edge of the display area inwards that does not exceed the size of the finger contact, such as the edge area 215 shown in Figure 2), the central area in the display area (that is, in the display area) The part of the area other than the edge area, such as the central area 230 shown in FIG. 2 ), or the non-display area on the touch-sensitive display (the non-display area 213 shown in FIG. 2 ).

倘若接触信号位于触控式显示器上的特定区域,接着在步骤130中,判断接触信号的位置是否产生变化。更进一步来说,要判断接触信号的位置使否产生变化首先必须计算出接触信号的移动距离,而这个移动距离可以是在特定时间(例如0.2秒)内所产生的移动距离。接着将移动距离与预设值进行比较,若移动距离大于预设值,那么便判断接触信号的位置有发生变化。也就是说,当接触信号的位置产生变化时即代表输入工具在接触触控式显示器后,于特定时间之内有产生移动。If the touch signal is located in a specific area on the touch-sensitive display, then in step 130, it is determined whether the position of the touch signal changes. Furthermore, to determine whether the position of the contact signal changes, the moving distance of the touching signal must be calculated first, and the moving distance may be the moving distance generated within a specific time (for example, 0.2 seconds). Then the moving distance is compared with the preset value, and if the moving distance is greater than the preset value, then it is determined that the position of the contact signal has changed. That is to say, when the position of the touch signal changes, it means that the input tool moves within a specific time after touching the touch display.

最后如步骤140所示,例如根据特定区域的位置来开启使用者界面。开启使用者界面的方式包括从触控式显示器的显示边缘拖曳显示使用者界面,而在本实施例中是由接触信号最接近显示区域的边缘开始,将使用者界面拖曳显示于显示区域。Finally, as shown in step 140 , the user interface is opened, for example, according to the position of the specific area. The method of opening the user interface includes dragging and displaying the user interface from the display edge of the touch-sensitive display, and in this embodiment, the user interface is dragged and displayed on the display area starting from the edge of the display area closest to the touch signal.

举例来说,倘若在电子装置200上设定用来开启使用者界面的特定区域为边缘区域215。那么在使用者的手指接触边缘区域215,并移动一段超过预设值的移动距离后,新的使用者界面将会从显示区域211的边缘217开始,被拖曳显示于显示区域211中。For example, if the specific area for opening the user interface is set as the edge area 215 on the electronic device 200 . Then, after the user's finger touches the edge area 215 and moves a moving distance exceeding a preset value, a new user interface will be dragged and displayed in the display area 211 starting from the edge 217 of the display area 211 .

在另一实施例中,倘若在电子装置200上设定用来开启使用者界面的特定区域为非显示区域213,使用者可通过以手指触碰非显示区域213上的接触点220并滑动手指,当手指滑动的移动距离超过预设值时,那么电子装置200将会从接触点220所最接近的边缘(即显示区域211的边缘217)开启使用者界面并拖曳显示在显示区域211中。In another embodiment, if the specific area on the electronic device 200 for opening the user interface is set as the non-display area 213, the user can touch the contact point 220 on the non-display area 213 with a finger and slide the finger , when the moving distance of the finger slide exceeds the preset value, then the electronic device 200 will open the user interface from the closest edge of the contact point 220 (ie, the edge 217 of the display area 211 ) and drag and display it in the display area 211 .

在上述实施例中,被开启的使用者界面例如是包括具有手指可触碰图像(icon)的使用者界面(如图3所示的使用者界面300)、具有手指可触碰影像(image)的使用者界面,而手指可触碰影像例如是应用程序的执行画面的缩图(miniature),如图4所示的使用者界面400,亦或是共同使用者界面(如图5所示的使用者界面500)。In the above-mentioned embodiment, the opened user interface includes, for example, a user interface with a finger-touchable image (icon) (user interface 300 shown in FIG. 3 ), a finger-touchable image (image) user interface, and the finger-touchable image is, for example, a thumbnail (miniature) of the execution screen of the application program, such as the user interface 400 shown in FIG. 4 , or a common user interface (such as the user interface 500).

在另一实施例中,在电子装置上例如已经显示一个既有的使用者界面,使用者可以通过与图1所示的使用者界面的操作方法相同或相似的步骤,由触控式显示器的显示边缘(例如接触信号最接近显示区域的边缘),在既有的使用者界面上开启、切换,或关闭使用者界面。In another embodiment, for example, an existing user interface has been displayed on the electronic device, and the user can use the same or similar steps as the operation method of the user interface shown in FIG. Display the edge (eg, the edge of the touch signal closest to the display area), open, switch, or close the user interface on the existing user interface.

举例来说,通过上述操作方法,使用者可以在具有手指可触碰图像的使用者界面(如图3所示的使用者界面300)上开启共同使用者界面(如图5所示的使用者界面500)。又例如是在包括具有手指可触碰影像的使用者界面(如图4所示的使用者界面400)上开启共同使用者界面(如图5所示的使用者界面500)。此外,使用者还可以在共同使用者界面(如图5所示的使用者界面500)上开启具有手指可触碰图像或手指可触碰影像的使用者界面(如图3及图4所示的使用者界面300与使用者界面400)。或是在一个具有手指可触碰影像(或手指可触碰图像)的使用者界面上开启另一个具有手指可触碰影像(或手指可触碰图像)的使用者界面。For example, through the above operation method, the user can open a common user interface (user interface 300 shown in FIG. 5 ) on a user interface (user interface 300 shown in FIG. interface 500). Another example is to open a common user interface (such as the user interface 500 shown in FIG. 5 ) on a user interface (such as the user interface 400 shown in FIG. 4 ) that includes a finger-touchable image. In addition, the user can also open a user interface (as shown in FIGS. The user interface 300 and the user interface 400). Or start another user interface with a finger-touchable image (or finger-touchable image) on a user interface with a finger-touchable image (or finger-touchable image).

在本实施例中,既有的使用者界面与后来被开启的使用者界面分别位于3D动态使用者界面(3D motion user interface)(如图6所示的3D动态使用者界面610)的两个平面上(例如相邻的两个平面上)。而3D动态使用者界面610可以是多面体(polyhedron)或立方体(cube),在此并不限制其范围。其中,3D动态使用者界面610绕着轴向旋转。举例来说,如图6所示,3D动态使用者界面610例如是绕着X轴611向上旋转、绕着Z轴613向右旋转,亦或绕着倾斜轴向615进行旋转。In this embodiment, the existing user interface and the user interface to be opened later are respectively located in two parts of a 3D dynamic user interface (3D motion user interface) (3D motion user interface 610 as shown in FIG. 6 ). on a plane (for example, on two adjacent planes). The 3D dynamic user interface 610 may be a polyhedron or a cube, and the scope thereof is not limited here. Wherein, the 3D dynamic user interface 610 rotates around the axis. For example, as shown in FIG. 6 , the 3D dynamic user interface 610 rotates upwards around the X-axis 611 , rotates rightward around the Z-axis 613 , or rotates around the tilted axis 615 .

值得一提的是,上述使用者界面的操作方法例如可于任何具备电子计算机能力的系统上来执行。换言之,将上述实施例设计为一电脑程序,利用电脑可读取的记录媒体(例如光盘或硬盘)来存储此电脑程序,并且将其载入至电子计算机系统中,便可执行上述实施例所述的使用者界面的操作方法。It is worth mentioning that the above-mentioned operation method of the user interface can be implemented on any system with electronic computer capabilities, for example. In other words, the above-mentioned embodiment is designed as a computer program, and the computer program is stored in a computer-readable recording medium (such as an optical disc or hard disk), and loaded into a computer system, so that the above-mentioned embodiment can be executed. How to operate the user interface described above.

Please refer to FIG. 7 , the electronic device 700 includes a display 710 , a touch sensing device 720 , a contact signal position detection module 730 and a processing module 740 .

其中,触控感应装置720用以检测输入工具(例如手指或触控笔)的接触信号。在本实施例中,触控感应装置720可以是触控垫(touch pad)或是触控面板(touch panel)。倘若触控感应装置720为触控面板,那么触控感应装置720与显示器710则构成一触控式显示器。据此,触控面板将对应显示器710而包括显示区域及非显示区域,而显示区域及非显示区域可以在同一平面或是不同平面上。Wherein, the touch sensing device 720 is used for detecting a contact signal of an input tool (such as a finger or a stylus). In this embodiment, the touch sensing device 720 may be a touch pad or a touch panel. If the touch sensing device 720 is a touch panel, then the touch sensing device 720 and the display 710 constitute a touch display. Accordingly, the touch panel includes a display area and a non-display area corresponding to the display 710 , and the display area and the non-display area can be on the same plane or on different planes.

与显示器710及触控感应装置720连接的接触信号位置检测模块730则是用以判断接触信号是否位于触控感应装置720的特定区域,在本实施例中,特定区域包括显示区域的边缘区域、边缘区域之外的中心区域,或非显示区域。若接触信号位于特定区域,接触信号位置检测模块730将判断接触信号的位置是否发生变化。The touch signal position detection module 730 connected to the display 710 and the touch sensing device 720 is used to determine whether the touch signal is located in a specific area of the touch sensing device 720. In this embodiment, the specific area includes the edge area of the display area, The central area outside the edge area, or non-display area. If the contact signal is located in a specific area, the contact signal position detection module 730 will determine whether the position of the contact signal changes.

处理模块740连接至接触信号位置检测模块730,并根据接触信号位置检测模块730的判断结果,在接触信号的位置发生变化时,根据特定区域的位置于显示器710上开启并显示使用者界面。The processing module 740 is connected to the touch signal position detection module 730, and according to the judgment result of the touch signal position detection module 730, when the position of the touch signal changes, the user interface is opened and displayed on the display 710 according to the position of the specific area.

使用者可以通过上述实施例所述的使用者界面的操作方法,以手指或触控笔等输入工具对电子装置700进行操作据以开启使用者界面,或是在一个既有的使用者界面上开启另外的使用者界面来取代既有的使用者界面。由于操作方法与上述实施例雷同,故在此不再赘述。The user can operate the electronic device 700 with an input tool such as a finger or a stylus through the operation method of the user interface described in the above-mentioned embodiments to open the user interface, or open the user interface on an existing user interface. Opens another user interface to replace the existing user interface. Since the operation method is the same as the above-mentioned embodiment, it will not be repeated here.

图8是依照本实用新型另一实施例所绘示的使用者界面的操作方法的流程图。本实施例是以通过触控式显示器来切换电子装置的使用者界面的步骤,据以对本实用新型进行更进一步的说明。其中,触控式显示器可以分为显示区域及非显示区域两部分。请参阅图8,首先如步骤810所示,当使用者通过输入工具进行操作动作时,检测输入工具接触触控式显示器的接触信号。其中,输入工具包括了使用者的手指或是触控笔等。FIG. 8 is a flowchart of an operation method of a user interface according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the steps of switching the user interface of the electronic device through the touch-sensitive display are used to further illustrate the present invention. Wherein, the touch display can be divided into two parts, a display area and a non-display area. Please refer to FIG. 8 , first, as shown in step 810 , when the user performs an operation action through the input tool, a contact signal of the input tool touching the touch-sensitive display is detected. Wherein, the input tool includes a user's finger or a stylus.

接触信号检测完毕之后,如步骤820所示,判断此接触信号是否位于触控式显示器的特定区域。在本实施例中,特定区域例如是触控式显示器的显示区域的边缘区域(如图2所示的边缘区域215),边缘区域之外的中心区域(如图2所示的中心区域230),或是非显示区域(如图2所示的边缘区域213)。After the touch signal is detected, as shown in step 820, it is determined whether the touch signal is located in a specific area of the touch-sensitive display. In this embodiment, the specific area is, for example, an edge area (edge area 215 as shown in FIG. 2 ) of the display area of the touch-sensitive display, and a central area outside the edge area (central area 230 as shown in FIG. 2 ). , or a non-display area (the edge area 213 shown in FIG. 2 ).

若接触信号是位于特定区域之中,那么如步骤830所示,判断接触信号的位置是否发生变化。举例来说,当使用者以拖曳的方式在触控式显示器上移动输入工具时,输入工具与触控式显示器接触的接触信号位置便会产生变化,据此将可计算出接触信号的移动距离。当此移动距离大于预设值时,则判断接触信号的位置有发生变化。更进一步来说,通过计算接触信号在特定时间内的移动距离,并通过比较移动距离与预设值来判断接触信号是否产生变化,将可以避免把使用者利用输入工具来点选选项的动作,误认为是要切换使用者界面的动作,据此避免引起电子装置产生错误的反应。If the touch signal is located in the specific area, then as shown in step 830, it is determined whether the position of the touch signal changes. For example, when the user moves the input tool on the touch-sensitive display by dragging, the position of the contact signal where the input tool touches the touch-sensitive display will change, and the moving distance of the touch signal can be calculated accordingly . When the moving distance is greater than the preset value, it is determined that the position of the contact signal has changed. Furthermore, by calculating the moving distance of the contact signal within a specific time, and judging whether the contact signal has changed by comparing the moving distance with the preset value, it will be possible to avoid the action of the user using the input tool to click on the option, Mistaking it as an action to switch the user interface, so as to prevent the electronic device from causing a wrong response.

最后如步骤840所示,根据接触信号的移动方向切换至使用者界面。其中,切换至使用者界面的方式包括由相对移动方向的反方向所指向触控式显示器的显示边缘,拖曳显示使用者界面。在本实施例中,使用者界面例如是包括具有手指可触碰图像的使用者界面(如图3所示的使用者界面300),又或者是包括具有手指可触碰影像的使用者界面(如图4所示的使用者界面400),其中手指可触碰影像例如是应用程序的执行画面的缩图,亦或是共同使用者界面(如图5所示的使用者界面500)。Finally, as shown in step 840, switch to the user interface according to the moving direction of the contact signal. Wherein, the way of switching to the user interface includes pointing to the display edge of the touch-sensitive display in the opposite direction of the relative moving direction, and dragging to display the user interface. In this embodiment, the user interface includes, for example, a user interface with a finger-touchable image (such as the user interface 300 shown in FIG. 3 ), or a user interface with a finger-touchable image ( The user interface 400 shown in FIG. 4 ), wherein the finger-touchable image is, for example, a thumbnail of the execution screen of the application program, or a common user interface (such as the user interface 500 shown in FIG. 5 ).

举例来说,若电子装置的特定区域为图2所示的中心区域230,且输入工具与触控式显示器接触所产生的接触信号位于接触点231。那么当使用者以拖曳的方式在触控式显示器上向右移动输入工具,且移动距离大于预设值时,使用者界面将由边缘233(即从接触点231向左指向的显示区域的边缘)滑出并显示在显示区域211。For example, if the specific area of the electronic device is the central area 230 shown in FIG. 2 , and the contact signal generated by the contact of the input tool with the touch-sensitive display is located at the contact point 231 . Then when the user moves the input tool to the right on the touch-sensitive display in a dragging manner, and when the moving distance is greater than a preset value, the user interface will be defined by the edge 233 (that is, the edge of the display area pointed to the left from the contact point 231 ). slide out and display in the display area 211 .

在另一实施例中,在电子装置上例如已经开启了一个既有的使用者界面,使用者可以通过与上述实施例类似的操作方式来切换这个既有的使用者界面。而切换使用者界面包括了关闭既有的使用者界面,在既有的使用者界面上开启另一个使用者界面、或是从既有的使用者界面切换至另一个使用者界面。举例来说,通过上述操作方法,可以将电子装置上具有手指可触碰图像或手指可触碰影像的使用者界面(如图3与图4所示的使用者界面300及使用者界面400)切换为共同使用者界面(如图5所示的使用者界面500)。反之,亦可将共同使用者界面切换为具有手指可触碰图像或手指可触碰影像的使用者界面。除此之外,还可以将具有手指可触碰图像或手指可触碰影像的使用者界面切换为同样具有手指可触碰图像或手指可触碰影像的另外的使用者界面。In another embodiment, for example, an existing user interface has been opened on the electronic device, and the user can switch the existing user interface through an operation similar to the above-mentioned embodiment. Switching the user interface includes closing the existing user interface, opening another user interface on the existing user interface, or switching from the existing user interface to another user interface. For example, through the above operation method, the user interface (user interface 300 and user interface 400 shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. Switch to a common user interface (user interface 500 shown in FIG. 5 ). Conversely, the common user interface can also be switched to a user interface with a finger-touchable image or a finger-touchable image. Besides, it is also possible to switch the user interface with the finger touchable image or the finger touchable image into another user interface also having the finger touchable image or the finger touchable image.

在本实施例中,既有的使用者界面与后来所开启的使用者界面分别位于3D动态使用者界面(如图6所示的3D动态使用者界面610)的两个平面上(例如相邻的两个平面上)。而3D动态使用者界面610可以是多面体或立方体。如图6所示,3D动态使用者界面610绕着轴向旋转。举例来说,3D动态使用者界面610例如是绕着X轴611向上旋转、绕着Z轴613向右旋转,亦或绕着倾斜轴向615进行旋转。In this embodiment, the existing user interface and the user interface opened later are respectively located on two planes (for example adjacent to each other) of the 3D dynamic user interface (3D dynamic user interface 610 shown in FIG. 6 ). on both planes). The 3D dynamic user interface 610 can be a polyhedron or a cube. As shown in FIG. 6 , the 3D dynamic user interface 610 rotates around the axis. For example, the 3D dynamic user interface 610 rotates upwards around the X-axis 611 , rotates rightward around the Z-axis 613 , or rotates around the tilted axis 615 .

上述使用者界面的操作方法例如可于任何具备电子计算机能力的系统上来执行。也就是说,将上述实施例设计为一电脑程序后,利用电脑可读取的记录媒体(例如光盘或硬盘)来存储电脑程序,并且将其载入至电子计算机系统中,便可执行上述实施例所述的使用者界面的操作方法。The operation method of the above user interface can be implemented on any system with electronic computer capability, for example. That is to say, after the above-mentioned embodiment is designed as a computer program, a computer-readable recording medium (such as an optical disc or hard disk) is used to store the computer program, and it is loaded into an electronic computer system to execute the above-mentioned implementation. How to operate the user interface described in the example.

The touch display 1002 includes a display 1007 and a touch sensing device 1008 . The display 1007 is disposed in the accommodating space 1005 of the casing 1001 . The touch sensing device 1008 is disposed in the opening 1006 of the outer surface 1004 of the housing 1001 for receiving a touch signal generated by an input tool. The touch sensing device 1008 has a touch sensing plane 1009 , and the touch sensing plane 1009 includes a display area 1010 and a non-display area 1011 . The edge of the opening 1006 of the housing 1001 is in continuous contact with the touch-sensing plane 1009, and the outer surface 1004 of the housing 1001 does not protrude from the touch-sensing plane 1009, and the housing 1001 referred to here does not include the hand-held electronic device. hotkeys or keys.
