t: ~ When the generation is busy, the life is +, everything is about convenience and efficiency. u has become a habit. Take the number of mobile phones or individuals: Li, Hand County (10) 'In addition to having both powerful and physical 2 and 5 inches, the user will most likely want to be able to open and execute in a very short time. The function. This is especially true for features that are used by the immortal rather than f (such as writing a newsletter or money call record). If the user can quickly turn on some phase functions while holding the device, it is bound to improve the convenience of the handheld device. In order to meet the above requirements, the manufacturing wasters of handheld devices have been set up with hotkeys for commonly used functions of Linding on the hand-held device_disk or casing at the beginning of design. According to this, when the scan is pressed, the corresponding commonly used functions can be quickly turned on, thereby shortening the time required for searching and opening functions. For example, some mobile phone manufacturers will set a button to turn on the camera power b when the user is pressing the button. 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, the number of empty needles that manufacturers can use to set hotkeys is limited. In addition, the user's requirements for the appearance of the handheld device can not be ignored. In order to ensure that the appearance of the handheld device meets the requirements of simplicity and beauty, the manufacturer must control the design when it is designed. 4 200844836 HTC95088-1-TW 24407twf.doc/ e The number of hotkeys, so only a small number of hotkeys can be used to quickly connect to commonly used functions. Because of this, only a 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 menus are displayed on the display of the handheld device, the user may need to click on the user interface displayed on the display on the touch sensing device overlapping the display. After multiple sub-menus, you can find the desired function options. For some of the more commonly used functions, if you have to perform it every time, it will inevitably consume a lot of operation time, which will cause a lot of inconvenience in use. Most of the users use the touch or stylus of the finger or the stylus to make a point selection and selection. The handheld device provides the input feature. Typing on the ingot or in a denser Sit action makes it awkward: to eliminate the straightening of the finger and to eliminate the action of extracting the stylus and: single: = two factors = 200844836 HTC95088-1-TW 24407twf.doc/e Mistakes::::==The area will be larger -^ The current - general hand county has some shortcomings, its - ^ ^ set a woman's function needs to expand the layer ^ to select this to start . The second is that the user is more flexible in the hands of the county. 'It is more troublesome for the user. If the ==:=, it is difficult to make it difficult, but the operator (4) is flexible. Whether the stylus or the finger is used, if the handheld device can give different applications or operations to the user for different input tools, for example, when using the stylus, the handheld device has a suitable pen-type or Operating the stick, while making the hand-held device have another application or operator that is suitable for finger use, it is more convenient when using the handheld device. In addition, how to choose between different and different modes of operation or operation is also a subject of this extension. - In addition, the outer casing of the Baizhi handheld device is usually adjacent to the edge of the display area of the touch-control display, and the surface of the touch-sensitive device is convex. Since the protruding portion of the outer casing can block the control handle of the input device (including the finger or the stylus) and accommodate the (four) material finger, the user will not be able to quickly and effectively contact the wheel area where the control is not visible.

The above-mentioned features and advantages of the present invention can be more clearly understood. The preferred embodiment of the present invention, together with the drawings, will be described in detail below. Inch V [Embodiment] Square: Handheld device In other words, the user can only press some of the specific functions of the hot key's fir iff. However, the number of hot keys on the handheld device is quickly caught and simultaneously displayed. #1 is bound to increase the operation of the handheld device. *Development (4) Γ" method and handheld device using this method. In order to make the valley of S X clearer, the following specific examples are examples of the invention that can be implemented by 200844836 24407twf.doc/e. The user interface of the present invention is shown in the embodiment of the present invention. The present embodiment is to explain how the handheld device can be replaced according to the input tool when using the Π, i and the ή bell. Detailed steps of the user interface. Among them, I personal digital assistants or smart phones, etc., do not limit their scope here. = When using the input tool to operate the handheld device, first step! The handheld device receives input 2G in a user interface _ ' _ input Guard contact or proximity touch sensor % 'Touch sensor sensing Area, pressure, temperature, or image, according to the type of tools used to determine the input of the guards. Finally, as step f Γ = holding device according to the type of guard _ *, convert and display the corresponding user interface. It should be noted that the above operation method can be divided into two parts, one part is the method of identifying the wheel guards (ie, step iig and step 12〇), and the other part is the method of applying the result depending on the result ( That is, step 130). That is to say, in the method flow shown in the figure, the present invention provides at least the identification method including step 110 and step 12, and the step after step 120 is designed according to actual application requirements. The step UG _ in the figure is the reading of the _ (the user interface conversion). In the actual closing towel, the hand hiding will display the corresponding user interface according to different work and types. For convenience of explanation, the following embodiment t is an example of distinguishing two different input tools, such as a stylus 200844836.

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. Display

c 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 FIG. 2A includes a display 21, a touch sensing step 220, and a processor 230. The display 21 is used to display a user's face. The touch sensing device 220 is, for example, a touch panel for detecting the operation of the input tool and generating an input gas number according to the operation of the input tool. The processor 230 is connected to the display 21 and the touch sensing device 22°,

It is used to judge the user interface of the transmission frequency _, and «work type conversion. T Figure 2Α Touch Sensing Pack £22〇 includes resistive sensing (brain st (four) sensor device) 240. The resistive sensor can sense the input position and pressure, so the input nickname of the touch sensing device 220 includes the input tool contact note that the resistive sensor only has two or two input signals at the same time. Point will distribute money artificial ^ and resistive sensing Ϊ 200844836 m^juoo-l-TW 24407twf.doc / e == two Figure 3A and 3B. The resistive sensor itself can only be used to determine the input of the input tool by the method of the present invention. Work = planting pain. As shown in Fig. 3, the contact point t] to μ of the stylus shown in green is because the contact area of the touch pen is small, so the success is better than the #巾, by the present invention.

= Breaking the hand The input tool of the resistive sensor contact is the contact point of touch=H...4, because the contact area of the finger is larger, 'the body touches the dispersion, ## can be judged to be in contact with the resistive feeling The wheel person I has a finger Γ ==—time can only provide the input point of the contact point, and the method of binding the current month (described in detail below) is processed by $ 23 at the specific time of the segment (10) Continue to record the loss of the people: New Zealand, calculate the range of beans, ^, according to this _ domain _ size _ input tool type. Taking the four contact points of Figs. 3A and 3B as an example, it is assumed that the input signal generated by the contact point is (Xi, Yi, Pi), where 丨 can be i 2 3 4 . The contact pressure of pi at the contact position along the _bit (4) X chain ' Yi is 为 is W. The processor can calculate the average value of position and pressure as follows: X coordinate average: Xa = (xl + X2 + X3 + X4) / 4 Y coordinate average: Ya = (Y1 + Υ 2 + Υ 3 + γ4) / 4 Average pressure: pa = (P1+P2 + P3 + P4)/4 11 200844836 ni^yju66-l-TW 24407twf.doc/e The range of variation of the position and pressure can then be calculated as follows: X coordinate variation range: Xd Called Xa —X1| + |Xa — + |Xa - X3| + |Xa_X4| Y coordinate variation range: Yd= |Ya —γη + |Ya —γ + |Ya~ Y3| + |Ya-Y4| Pressure variation range :Pd=|pa —pi丨+ |pa~p2丨+ |Pa-P3| + |Pa-P4| As for how to determine the type of tool according to the range of position and pressure variation, the details are shown in the flow of Figures 4A to 4C. The following is explained in order. 4A is a flow chart of the input tool type identification side executed by the processor 230 of FIG. 2A, and the flow of FIG. 4A determines the type of the tool according to the variation range of the contact position. First, in step 410, the contact of the input tool is detected, and in step 420, the X, Y coordinates of the contact point are recorded every predetermined sampling time. Next, at step 430, it is checked whether the number of samples is sufficient. If the preset number of processors 230 has been satisfied, the flow proceeds to step 44, otherwise, returns to step 420 to continue recording. Next, the variation range xd, Yd' of the contact position is calculated at step 440. In step 450, it is checked whether Xd < Vx and Yd < Vy, where Vx and Vy are preset ranges of the processor 230. If the range of the two coordinates 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' to convert the user interface to a corresponding common function interface. 12 200844836

Hluy^u^-l-Tw 24407twf.doc/e = 4= Another type of input tool type executed by the processor 230 is 4 maps. The flow of the 4B is based on the variation range of the contact pressure to determine the type of the tool. The processor 23 records the contact pressure of the input tool at the time of sampling every step 421, calculates the contact range Pd of the contact pressure at step 441, and then checks in step 451 whether or not pd < Vp, where vp is a pre-process of 230 Set the scope. If pd <, the processor 23 彻 steps to determine that the input tool face is a stylus, and the user interface is converted into a corresponding common user interface. Otherwise, the processor 23 determines in step 47 that the input tool type is a finger, and the user interface is converted into a corresponding common function interface. The remaining steps of FIG. 4B are the same as those of FIG. 4B and will not be described again. 4C is a flow chart of another method for identifying the type of input tool performed by the processor 230. The flow of FIG. 4C is to determine the type of the tool based on the range of variation of the contact position and the pressure. The processor 23 records the contact position and pressure of the input tool at intervals of sampling time in step 422, and varies the range xd, Yd of the different contact position and the variation range Pd' of the contact pressure in step 442. Then, in step 452, it is checked whether xd < Vx, Yd < Vy and Pd < VP. If so, the processor 230 determines in step 460 that the input tool type is a stylus and converts the user interface to a corresponding common user interface. Otherwise, the processor 23 determines in step 470 that the input tool type is a finger and converts the user interface into a corresponding common function interface. The remaining steps of FIG. 4C 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 to replace the 13 200844836 muy3U»5-l-TW 24407 twf.doc/e touch sensing device 220 of FIG. 2A with the A touch sensing device 221 of a capacitive sensor device 250. 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 and the size is large enough, the sensor pad can also be sensed. 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 capacitive sensing is only capable of determining whether there is contact with the input tool itself, 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 a plurality of contact pads in a short period of time. Signal to determine the type of input tool. The processor 23 of FIG. 2B, when performing the method provided by the present invention (described in detail below), can calculate the size of the sensing area according to the number of sensing pads that are sensed, and distinguish that the input tool is a finger or a stylus . FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the method of identifying the type of input tool executed by the processor 230 of FIG. 2B. First, at step 51, the contact or proximity of the input tool is detected every other sampling time, and then in step 52, it is checked whether the sensing pad is inductive. If not, go back to step 51 and continue to detect. If so, proceeding to step 530, when the input tool is operated to operate the touch sensing device 221 within a predetermined period of time, the number of sensing turns of the sensor is measured. Then in the step, it is checked whether the number of pads in the upper box is small = the preset value of the processor 230. If the number of sensing pads is less than the preset value, the processor 230 determines in step 55 that the type of the input tool is a stylus and converts the user interface into a corresponding common user interface. Otherwise, the processor 23 determines that the input tool type is a finger and converts the user interface into a corresponding common function interface by using the method of the input tool type as a finger at 14 200844836 muy^u^-l>TW 24407twf.doc/e. 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 based on the tool temperature that the input tool contacts or approaches the touch sensing device 222. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2c at the same time. When the user performs an operation on the touch sensing device 222 by using the input tool, the processing 230 will receive the corresponding input signal (step 11〇). The Guardian 230 will detect the temperature of the tool when the input tool is operated through the temperature sensor 260, and compare the tool temperature with a preset temperature (for example, the average of room temperature and body temperature). If the cookware temperature is less than the preset temperature, the processor 23G determines that the input tool is a stylus, and otherwise determines that the input tool is a finger (step 120). Next, the processor 23() displays the corresponding common user interface or common function 'I side' on the display JJ21G according to the tool species, as described in the previous embodiment (step 13A). In addition to utilizing differences in area, pressure, and temperature to determine the type of tool, in the embodiment of Figure 2D, processor 23 techniques determine the type of tool. The social gentlemen's association Minggu, t's use the house Feng Bie I /, Li Liubei Ming 冋% to see Figure 1 and Figure 2D, Figure 2D is another hand-block diagram of the other embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 When the user uses the input tool to make a reservation on the touch sense, in step 110, the processor 230 transmits 15 200844836 HTC95088-1-TW 24407twf.doc/e 223 receives an input signal. Next, in step 120, the processor 230 (4) image capture device includes a H that includes the input work and determines the tool type according to the feature or ruler ___ of the input tool in the image. For example, the processor 23〇=the technique acquires the edge surface of the wheeled jade, etc., and the wide tool is used. Or it is to calculate the size of the input tool in the image and compare it with the size of the reference object to determine the tool face. If the location 230 determines that the input tool is a stylus, then in step 13 (), the user interface is displayed through the display state 210. If the processor 23 determines that the input is a finger, the common function interface is displayed through the display 21 in step 130. It is worth mentioning that the processor in the handheld device can adjust the size of the user interface options when converting and displaying the user interface according to the tool surface. For example, when processing the input tool to turn off the input pen, as shown in Fig. 6, the option on the user interface is shown in general. However, when the processor determines that the input tool is the user's finger, the user interface option is fully enlarged to the finger operable size, as shown in the user interface of FIG. 7 Make

It interface into the sang. The above options include items such as images (lcon) or images (images) that can be selected with the input tool. The hand county of the present invention converts different user interfaces according to the type of the input tool, and can also display different ways according to the type of the input tool, as shown in the flow of Fig. 8. Figure 8 is a flow diagram of a user interface operation method performed by the device in accordance with the present invention. W ball, . Tian Zhuming are as follows. First, the processor of the handheld device passes through the contact 16 200844836 niL.yju56-l-TW 24407twf.doc/e

The control sensing device receives the input signal (step 810), determines the type of input tool that generated the input signal (step 820), and then performs a preset function based on the type of tool (step 830). For example, the preset function may be to 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 preset function of step 83〇 may also be to turn a specific function on or off according to the type of the tool (step 850). The processor can also perform other preset functions depending on the type of tool', not limited to the above examples. The specific function of step 850 may be a user interface navigation (br〇wsing) power month b. The user interface navigation function may include a user interface translation b (banning), a user interface scrolling function (scr〇uing), or both (step 860). For example, when the input tool is a stylus, the user interface panning and scrolling function is turned off, and when the input device is a finger, the user interface pans and scrolls, so that the user can pan or scroll the user by the finger. The display content of the interface. The fine stream of y 86 〇 is shown in Figure 8B. First, in the step, the 骑1 riding finger is programmed to open the user interface translation and scrolling function. Check whether the _ or proximity state of the finger has been unlocked. In step _2 = control the sensing device. If you have not moved away from the "private movement". On the other hand, if the finger has 865' execution user interface has moved' then enter the step force month b 'break user interface with finger movement 200844836 HJLUWU (10)-l-TW 24407twf. The doc/e direction is scrolled. On the other hand, the specific function of step 850 may be multiple selection j (step 870). For example, when the input tool is a stylus, the $^^ function is turned on, so that the user can use the touch. The pen also selects the data item or function item on the user interface. When the input tool is a finger, the multi-function is turned off, so that the user can only select a single item at a time. Because the finger is not as good as the stylus, it is easy to mis-select. The detailed flow of the precision and the change rate can be improved as shown in Fig. 8C. First, in step (7), the input tool type is judged to be a stylus, and the multiple selection function is turned on. Step 872 checks the stylus contact. Or the area close to the touch sensing device has any options covered. If not, the process ends here. If there is any option in step 873 to select the area covered by the contact area, 跣 In addition, After performing the identification method provided by the present invention to determine the type of the input tool, 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. The method of this job is at least ^ : 1 wide step 820 ' and the steps after step 820 can be designed according to the application of the Bayer application. The steps in Figure 8A should only be used to divide the financial shirt. The handheld device of the above embodiment can extend the method flow or can be executed by the handheld device or the electronic device to integrate the functions of the hardware such as the electronic device. The computer-readable recording medium can be executed by the processor of the electronic device, and its operation is basically the same, and is no longer described. 18 200844836 24407twf.d〇c/e iff Μ i 2D ^Importing, display and touch sensing device疋The display device is configured to display a user interface control device for receiving an input signal.
