Description

複合裝置及其畫面顯示方法 Composite device and screen display method thereof

本發明是有關於一種電子裝置及其畫面顯示方法,且特別是有關於一種以磁性相接之複合裝置及其畫面顯示方法。 The present invention relates to an electronic device and a screen display method thereof, and more particularly to a composite device magnetically connected and a screen display method thereof.

現今消費者對於行動裝置外型的要求傾向輕、薄、短、小,此要求使得行動裝置的體積受到相當限制。對於手機或平板電腦等裝置而言,若要在裝置上同時配置螢幕及鍵盤,勢必得要縮小螢幕的尺寸。為了能夠在有限的空間中配置較大的螢幕,近來發展出一種觸控螢幕,其可同時做為行動裝置的顯示及輸入介面,而能夠省去配置傳統鍵盤的成本及所佔用的面積。 Today's consumer demands for the appearance of mobile devices tend to be light, thin, short, and small, and this requirement makes the size of the mobile device quite limited. For devices such as mobile phones or tablets, if you want to configure the screen and keyboard on the device at the same time, it is necessary to reduce the size of the screen. In order to be able to configure a larger screen in a limited space, a touch screen has recently been developed which can simultaneously serve as a display and input interface for a mobile device, thereby eliminating the cost and area occupied by a conventional keyboard.

為了因應不同應用程式的操作需求,行動裝置會根據各個應用程式執行時的需要,在觸控螢幕上顯示對應的操作介面,以供使用者藉由觸碰的方式操作應用程式的功能。舉例來說,當使用者開啟文件編輯程式時,行動裝置即會在觸控螢幕上顯示虛擬鍵盤,以供使用者輸入文字;當使用者開啟多媒體播放程式時,行動裝置則會在觸控螢幕上顯示播放、暫停、停止、快轉、回轉等控制按鍵,以供使用者操作多媒體播放功能。 In order to meet the operational requirements of different applications, the mobile device displays the corresponding operation interface on the touch screen according to the needs of each application, so that the user can operate the application by touch. For example, when the user opens the file editing program, the mobile device displays a virtual keyboard on the touch screen for the user to input text; when the user opens the multimedia player, the mobile device is on the touch screen. Control buttons such as play, pause, stop, fast forward, and swivel are displayed on the display for the user to operate the multimedia play function.

然而,在觸控螢幕上顯示的鍵盤、控制按鍵等介面仍舊會佔據不小的螢幕顯示空間,從而擠壓到其他內容,使 得使用者難以閱讀。此外,當使用者使用行動裝置接聽電話時,則會因為行動裝置為了避免使用者誤觸觸控螢幕而將其關閉,而無法再對行動裝置進行操作。 However, the keyboard, control buttons and the like displayed on the touch screen still occupy a small screen display space, thereby squeezing to other content, so that It is difficult for users to read. In addition, when the user answers the call using the mobile device, the mobile device can no longer operate the mobile device because the mobile device is turned off to prevent the user from accidentally touching the touch screen.

因此,有必要發展一種可提供更大螢幕顯示空間及使用彈性的行動裝置,以因應各種使用環境。 Therefore, it is necessary to develop a mobile device that can provide a larger screen display space and use flexibility to respond to various usage environments.

有鑑於此,本發明提出一種複合裝置及其畫面顯示方法,利用磁性連接兩個裝置,並根據磁性變化判斷裝置位置,從而改變兩個裝置上顯示的畫面。 In view of the above, the present invention proposes a composite device and a screen display method thereof, which magnetically connect two devices and determine the position of the device according to the magnetic change, thereby changing the screen displayed on the two devices.

圖3是依照本發明一實施例所繪示之複合裝置的畫面顯示方法流程圖。請參照圖3,本實施例的方法適用於上述圖2的複合裝置20,以下即搭配複合裝置20中的各項元件,說明本實施方法的詳細步驟:首先,由主裝置21的第一控制器215或從裝置22的第二控制器225偵測主裝置21上的第一磁性物體214a~214f及從裝置22上的第二磁性物體224a~224f之間的磁性變化,從而判斷第一磁性物體214a~214f與第二磁性物體224a~224f之間的相對位置,並據以判斷主裝置21及從裝置22之間的相對位置(步驟S302)。其中,主裝 置21或從裝置22上例如可配置多個霍爾感測器、磁簧開關等磁場效應感測裝置,而可用來偵測第一磁性物體214a~214f與第二磁性物體224a~224f之間的磁性變化,在此不設限。磁場效應感測裝置所偵測到的磁性變化資料會傳送給第一控制器215或第二控制器225,以供其判斷主裝置21及從裝置22之間的相對位置。 FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a screen display method of a composite device according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the method of the present embodiment is applied to the composite device 20 of FIG. 2 described above. The following is a detailed description of the detailed steps of the implementation method in conjunction with the components in the composite device 20: First, the first control by the main device 21 The second controller 225 of the slave device 225 detects the magnetic change between the first magnetic objects 214a to 214f on the master device 21 and the second magnetic objects 224a to 224f on the slave device 22, thereby determining the first magnetic property. The relative positions between the objects 214a to 214f and the second magnetic objects 224a to 224f are used to determine the relative positions between the master device 21 and the slave device 22 (step S302). Among them, the main installation The magnetic field effect sensing device such as a plurality of Hall sensors and reed switches can be disposed on the device 21 or the slave device 22, and can be used to detect between the first magnetic objects 214a to 214f and the second magnetic objects 224a to 224f. The magnetic change is not limited here. The magnetic change data detected by the magnetic field effect sensing device is transmitted to the first controller 215 or the second controller 225 for determining the relative position between the master device 21 and the slave device 22.

當第一控制器215或第二控制器225判斷主裝置21及從裝置22離開彼此重疊的狀態時,即會利用第一無線傳輸模組212及第二無線傳輸模組222建立無線連結,並透過此無線連結同步主裝置21及從裝置22上相對應的應用程式(步驟S304)。詳言之,在主裝置21及從裝置22彼此重疊的狀態下,從裝置22的第二觸控螢幕221會被主裝置21覆蓋,從而無法提供使用者對其進行操作,也因此沒有必要花費電力或運算資源來執行應用程式。此時,從裝置22例如會進入待機狀態或是僅開啟第二無線傳輸模組222以和主裝置21的第一無線傳輸模組212建立無線連結以傳輸資料。 When the first controller 215 or the second controller 225 determines that the main device 21 and the slave device 22 are separated from each other, the first wireless transmission module 212 and the second wireless transmission module 222 are used to establish a wireless connection, and The corresponding application on the master device 21 and the slave device 22 is synchronized via this wireless connection (step S304). In detail, in a state where the main device 21 and the slave device 22 overlap each other, the second touch screen 221 of the slave device 22 is covered by the main device 21, so that the user cannot be operated, and thus it is not necessary to spend Power or computing resources to execute applications. At this time, the slave device 22 enters the standby state, for example, or only the second wireless transmission module 222 is turned on to establish a wireless connection with the first wireless transmission module 212 of the master device 21 to transmit data.

而當主裝置21及從裝置221離開重疊狀態時,例如當主裝置21被推向從裝置22的側面而進入錯位狀態時,或是當從裝置22自主裝置21上抽離而進入分離狀態時,從裝置22的第二觸控螢幕221的一部分或全部即會露出在外。此時,第二觸控螢幕221的露出部分即可用以輔助主裝置21目前所執行的應用程式。此時,配置在從裝置22上的磁場效應感測裝置即會喚醒從裝置22,藉以建立主裝 置21與從裝置22之間無線連結,並傳送資料。 When the master device 21 and the slave device 221 are separated from the overlapping state, for example, when the master device 21 is pushed toward the side of the slave device 22 to enter the dislocation state, or when the slave device 22 is pulled away from the device 22 to enter the disengaged state. A part or all of the second touch screen 221 of the slave device 22 is exposed. At this time, the exposed portion of the second touch screen 221 can be used to assist the application currently executed by the host device 21. At this time, the magnetic field effect sensing device disposed on the slave device 22 wakes up the slave device 22, thereby establishing the main assembly. The device 21 and the slave device 22 are wirelessly connected and transmit data.

舉例來說,圖4是依照本發明一實施例所繪示之喚醒從裝置以建立無線連結的方法流程圖。請參照圖4,本實施例的方法適用於上述圖2的複合裝置20,以下即搭配複合裝置20中的各項元件,說明本實施方法的詳細步驟:首先,從裝置22例如會利用配置在其上的磁場效應感測裝置偵測主裝置21上的第一磁性物體214a~214f及從裝置22上的第二磁性物體224a~224f之間的磁性變化,從而判斷第一磁性物體214a~214f與第二磁性物體224a~224f之間的相對位置,並據以判斷主裝置21及從裝置22之間的相對位置(步驟S402)。 For example, FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a method for waking up a slave device to establish a wireless link according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the method of the present embodiment is applied to the composite device 20 of FIG. 2 described above. Hereinafter, the detailed steps of the present embodiment are described in conjunction with the components in the composite device 20. First, the slave device 22 is configured, for example, in use. The magnetic field effect sensing device thereon detects the magnetic change between the first magnetic objects 214a to 214f on the main device 21 and the second magnetic objects 224a to 224f on the slave device 22, thereby judging the first magnetic objects 214a to 214f. The relative position with the second magnetic objects 224a to 224f is used to determine the relative position between the master device 21 and the slave device 22 (step S402).

當磁場效應感測裝置在偵測到主裝置21及從裝置22離開彼此重疊的狀態時,例如會透過通用輸入輸出(General purpose input/output,GPIO)接腳發送一個觸發訊號至從裝置22,以喚醒從裝置22(步驟S404)。而從裝置22在接收到觸發訊號後,則會從待機狀態中甦醒,並啟動第二無線傳輸模組222,以搜尋主裝置21的第一無線傳輸模組212(步驟S406),並進而與主裝置21的第二無線傳輸模組212建立無線連結(步驟S408)。之後,主裝置21的第一控制器215即可透過上述的無線連結傳送其目前執行之應用程式的同步訊號至從裝置22,以控制從裝置22的第二控制器225啟動相同的應用程式。 When the magnetic field effect sensing device detects that the main device 21 and the slave device 22 are separated from each other, for example, a trigger signal is sent to the slave device 22 through a general purpose input/output (GPIO) pin. The slave device 22 is woken up (step S404). After receiving the trigger signal, the slave device 22 wakes up from the standby state, and activates the second wireless transmission module 222 to search for the first wireless transmission module 212 of the master device 21 (step S406), and further The second wireless transmission module 212 of the main device 21 establishes a wireless connection (step S408). Thereafter, the first controller 215 of the master device 21 can transmit the synchronization signal of the currently executing application to the slave device 22 through the wireless connection to control the second controller 225 of the slave device 22 to launch the same application.

需說明的是,在喚醒從裝置22之後,磁場效應感測裝置仍會繼續偵測磁性的變化,以判斷主裝置21及從裝置 22之間的相對位置,而當判斷主裝置21及從裝置22回復到彼此重疊的狀態時,主裝置21例如會透過無線連結傳送待機指令至從裝置22,控制從裝置22進入待機模式,以節省電力。 It should be noted that after waking up the slave device 22, the magnetic field effect sensing device will continue to detect the change of the magnetic force to determine the master device 21 and the slave device. When the relative position between the main device 21 and the slave device 22 is restored to overlap with each other, the main device 21 transmits a standby command to the slave device 22 via the wireless link, for example, to control the slave device 22 to enter the standby mode. Save electricity.

此外,在本實施例中,除了以側面連結的狀態之外,主裝置21及從裝置22之間一直是處於分離(未有硬體連結)的狀態,而僅利用無線連結傳輸必要的資料。而由於無線連結的傳輸頻寬有限,若要在兩個裝置上協同執行相同應用程式的功能,較佳的方案是在主裝置21及從裝置22上分別安裝應用程式,並在其中一個裝置執行應用程式時,藉由同步的方式,啟動另一個裝置上對應的應用程式,並藉由兩個裝置的溝通,在各自的觸控螢幕上顯示對應的操作畫面,藉以達到增加螢幕顯示空間及使用彈性的目的。 Further, in the present embodiment, the main device 21 and the slave device 22 are always separated (without hardware connection) except for the state in which the side faces are connected, and only the necessary information is transmitted by the wireless connection. Since the transmission bandwidth of the wireless connection is limited, if the functions of the same application are to be performed cooperatively on the two devices, it is preferable to install the application on the main device 21 and the slave device 22, and execute the program on one of the devices. When the application is used, the corresponding application on another device is activated by synchronization, and the corresponding operation screen is displayed on the respective touch screens by communication between the two devices, thereby increasing the display space and using the screen. The purpose of elasticity.

回到圖3的流程,在主裝置21及從裝置22的應用程式同步之後,主裝置21的第一控制器215例如會根據主裝置21及從裝置22之間的相對位置,於主裝置21的第一觸控螢幕211及從裝置22的第二觸控螢幕221上個別顯示應用程式的操作畫面(步驟S306)。其中,主裝置21的第一控制器215例如會依據主裝置21及從裝置22之間的錯位距離,改變在主裝置21之第一觸控螢幕211以及在從裝置22之第二觸控螢幕221上顯示的應用程式的操作畫面。例如,第一控制器215可根據錯位後第二觸控螢幕221所露出的大小來決定在從裝置22之第二觸控螢幕221上顯示的操作畫面。此操作畫面包括用以操作主裝置21所顯示之 操作畫面的鍵盤、捲軸、遙桿或觸控板,在此不設限。 Returning to the flow of FIG. 3, after the application programs of the master device 21 and the slave device 22 are synchronized, the first controller 215 of the master device 21 is, for example, based on the relative position between the master device 21 and the slave device 22, in the master device 21. The first touch screen 211 and the second touch screen 221 of the slave device 22 individually display an operation screen of the application (step S306). The first controller 215 of the main device 21 changes the first touch screen 211 of the main device 21 and the second touch screen of the slave device 22, for example, according to the misalignment distance between the main device 21 and the slave device 22. The operation screen of the application displayed on 221. For example, the first controller 215 can determine an operation screen displayed on the second touch screen 221 of the slave device 22 according to the size of the second touch screen 221 after the misalignment. This operation screen includes operations for operating the main device 21 The keyboard, reel, joystick or touchpad of the operation screen are not limited here.

舉例來說,圖5A及圖5B是依照本發明一實施例所繪示之複合裝置在不同錯位方式下所顯示之操作畫面的範例。請參照圖5A,主裝置51例如正在執行文件512的瀏覽功能。此時,若使用者將複合裝置50的主裝置51朝從裝置52的側面推移約四分之一的寬度時,從裝置42的觸控螢幕521僅露出四分之一,而從裝置52例如會在觸控螢幕521的露出部分上顯示出捲軸522,以供使用者用來捲動主裝置51之觸控螢幕511上顯示的文件。請參照圖5B,主裝置51例如正在執行即時通訊功能。此時,若使用者將複合裝置50的主裝置51朝從裝置52的側面推移約四分之三的寬度時,從裝置52的觸控螢幕521已露出四分之三,而從裝置52例如會在觸控螢幕521的露出部分上顯示出虛擬鍵盤523,以供使用者對主裝置51之觸控螢幕511上所顯示的訊息輸入欄513進行字元輸入。 For example, FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B are diagrams showing an example of an operation screen displayed by a composite device in different misalignment modes according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 5A, the main device 51 is, for example, executing the browsing function of the file 512. At this time, if the user pushes the main device 51 of the composite device 50 by about a quarter of the width of the device 52, only one quarter of the touch screen 521 of the device 42 is exposed, and the slave device 52, for example, A reel 522 is displayed on the exposed portion of the touch screen 521 for the user to scroll the document displayed on the touch screen 511 of the main device 51. Referring to FIG. 5B, the main device 51 is, for example, performing an instant messaging function. At this time, if the user pushes the main device 51 of the composite device 50 by about three-quarters of the width from the side of the device 52, the touch screen 521 of the slave device 52 is exposed by three quarters, and the slave device 52, for example, A virtual keyboard 523 is displayed on the exposed portion of the touch screen 521 for the user to perform character input on the message input field 513 displayed on the touch screen 511 of the main device 51.

需說明的是,在上述實施例中,為了能讓複合裝置20的主裝置21及從裝置22在錯位、分離等狀態下仍能夠彼此溝通以傳輸資料,主裝置21及從裝置22之間係採用無線連結傳輸例如控制指令等資料,以同步兩裝置之間的狀態,使其中的應用程式可分工合作來執行使用者所操作的功能,並在各自的觸控螢幕上顯示所執行之應用程式的對應畫面。 It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, in order to enable the main device 21 and the slave device 22 of the composite device 20 to communicate with each other to transmit data in a state of being displaced or separated, the main device 21 and the slave device 22 are connected. Using wireless links to transmit information such as control commands to synchronize the state between the two devices, so that the applications can work together to perform the functions operated by the user and display the executed applications on their respective touch screens. Corresponding screen.

然而,在另一實施例中,當主裝置21被使用者推向從裝置22的側面,直到兩個裝置是以側面相連接時,位於兩 裝置側面的第一接腳213及第二接腳223會彼此連接,從而提供主裝置21及從裝置22之間的有線連結。此連結可提供較大的資料傳輸頻寬,而可用以傳輸資料量較大的操作畫面、觸碰訊號等資料。以下則舉一實施例詳細說明。 However, in another embodiment, when the main device 21 is pushed by the user to the side of the slave device 22 until the two devices are connected by the side, they are located at two The first pin 213 and the second pin 223 on the side of the device are connected to each other to provide a wired connection between the main device 21 and the slave device 22. This link provides a large data transmission bandwidth and can be used to transfer data such as operation screens and touch signals. The following is a detailed description of an embodiment.

圖6是依照本發明一實施例所繪示之複合裝置的畫面顯示方法流程圖。請參照圖6,本實施例的方法適用於上述圖2的複合裝置20,以下即搭配複合裝置20中的各項元件,說明本實施方法的詳細步驟:首先,由主裝置21的第一控制器215或從裝置22的第二控制器225偵測主裝置21上的第一磁性物體214a~214f及從裝置22上的第二磁性物體224a~224f之間的磁性變化,從而判斷第一磁性物體214a~214f與第二磁性物體224a~224f之間的相對位置,並據以判斷主裝置21及從裝置22之間的相對位置(步驟S602)。 FIG. 6 is a flow chart of a screen display method of a composite device according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 6, the method of the present embodiment is applied to the composite device 20 of FIG. 2 described above. Hereinafter, the detailed steps of the present embodiment are described in conjunction with the components in the composite device 20. First, the first control by the main device 21 The second controller 225 of the slave device 225 detects the magnetic change between the first magnetic objects 214a to 214f on the master device 21 and the second magnetic objects 224a to 224f on the slave device 22, thereby determining the first magnetic property. The relative positions between the objects 214a to 214f and the second magnetic objects 224a to 224f are used to determine the relative positions between the master device 21 and the slave device 22 (step S602).

當第一控制器215判斷主裝置21及從裝置22是以側面(即主裝置21上配置有第一接腳213的側面及從裝置22上配置有第二接腳223的側面)彼此連接時,第一控制器215即會透過由第一無線傳輸模組212及第二無線傳輸模組222所建立的無線連結傳送切換指令至從裝置22的第二控制器225,以將複合裝置20的主控權交給從裝置22(步驟S604)。而第二控制器225在接收到切換指令時,例如會透過第一接腳213及第二接腳223的有線連結取得主裝置21目前正在執行之應用程式的狀態資料,以接續執行應用程式(步驟S606),並透過有線連結將要在主裝置 21之第一觸控螢幕211上顯示的應用程式的操作畫面傳輸至主裝置21上顯示(步驟S608)。 When the first controller 215 determines that the main device 21 and the slave device 22 are connected to each other on the side (that is, the side on which the first pin 213 is disposed on the main device 21 and the side on which the second pin 223 is disposed on the device 22) The first controller 215 transmits a switching command to the second controller 225 of the slave device 22 through the wireless link established by the first wireless transmission module 212 and the second wireless transmission module 222 to The master is handed over to the slave device 22 (step S604). When the second controller 225 receives the switching instruction, for example, the status information of the application currently being executed by the main device 21 is obtained through the wired connection of the first pin 213 and the second pin 223, so as to execute the application ( Step S606), and through the wired link will be in the main device The operation screen of the application displayed on the first touch screen 211 of 21 is transmitted to the main device 21 for display (step S608).

詳言之,根據所取得之主裝置21的狀態資料,第二控制器225即可接續在主裝置21之後,繼續執行原先由主裝置21所執行之應用程式的功能,而根據主裝置21之第一觸控螢幕211所偵測到之觸碰操作的資料,第二控制器225則可執行相應的功能。此外,第二控制器225在取得主控權之後,例如會將其第二觸控螢幕221與主裝置21的第一觸控螢幕211整合,以顯示單一個操作畫面(分上下顯示),藉此可達到擴大螢幕顯示空間的功效。 In detail, according to the obtained status data of the main device 21, the second controller 225 can continue to execute the function of the application originally executed by the main device 21 after the main device 21, and according to the main device 21 The second controller 225 can perform the corresponding function on the data of the touch operation detected by the first touch screen 211. In addition, after the second controller 225 obtains the master control, for example, the second touch screen 221 is integrated with the first touch screen 211 of the main device 21 to display a single operation screen (displayed up and down). This can achieve the effect of expanding the display space of the screen.

舉例來說,圖7是依照本發明一實施例所繪示之複合裝置在側面連接方式下所顯示之操作畫面的範例。請參照圖7,若使用者原本是利用主裝置71瀏覽網頁,則當複合裝置70的主控權交給從裝置72時,從裝置72例如會經由上述的有線連結或無線連結取得主裝置71所瀏覽之網頁的網址,並重新連結此網址以開啟相同的網頁。其中,從裝置72例如會將此網頁上半部的畫面712資料透過上述的有線連結傳送至主裝置71,以顯示在主裝置71的觸控螢幕711上,同時將此網頁下半部的畫面722直接顯示在觸控螢幕721,從而將觸控螢幕711與觸控螢幕721的顯示空間整合,以提供使用者更大的螢幕顯示空間來瀏覽網頁。 For example, FIG. 7 is an example of an operation screen displayed by a composite device in a side connection manner according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 7, if the user originally browses the webpage by the main device 71, when the master control of the composite device 70 is handed over to the slave device 72, the slave device 72 obtains the master device 71 via the above-mentioned wired connection or wireless connection, for example. The URL of the webpage being viewed and relinking this URL to open the same webpage. For example, the slave device 72 transmits the data of the screen 712 of the upper half of the webpage to the main device 71 through the above-mentioned wired connection to be displayed on the touch screen 711 of the main device 71, and simultaneously displays the screen of the lower half of the webpage. The 722 is directly displayed on the touch screen 721, thereby integrating the touch screen 711 with the display space of the touch screen 721 to provide a larger screen display space for the user to browse the webpage.

需說明的是,基於成本考量,本發明可選擇在主裝置及從裝置其中之一配置運算能力較強的處理器,而在另一裝置中配置基本運算能力的處理器,且進一步依據主裝置 及從裝置之間的連接態樣,選擇將複合裝置的主控權交由主裝置或從裝置,從而控制複合裝置的整體運作。 It should be noted that, based on cost considerations, the present invention may select a processor with strong computing capability in one of the master device and the slave device, and a processor with basic computing capabilities in another device, and further according to the master device. And from the connection between the devices, the master control of the composite device is selected to be transferred to the master device or the slave device, thereby controlling the overall operation of the composite device.

舉例來說,主裝置可作為功能手機(feature phone),其上可配置數據機(modem),而可提供電話撥接或簡訊收發等基本通訊功能。由於這些功能對於處理器運算能力的要求不高,因此主裝置上可僅配置運算能力較低的單核心或雙核心處理器。相對地,從裝置則可作為個人數位助理或平板電腦,其上可安裝許多應用程式,而提供多媒體播放、網頁瀏覽、遊戲等多樣化的功能。這些功能對於處理器運算能力的要求較高,因此從裝置上可配置運算能力較強的四核心處理器。 For example, the main device can function as a feature phone on which a modem can be configured to provide basic communication functions such as dial-up or SMS. Since these functions are not very demanding on the processor's computing power, only a single-core or dual-core processor with low computing power can be configured on the master device. In contrast, the slave device can be used as a personal digital assistant or tablet, on which many applications can be installed, and various functions such as multimedia playback, web browsing, and games are provided. These functions have higher requirements on the computing power of the processor, so a four-core processor with strong computing power can be configured from the device.

此外,在主裝置及從裝置彼此分離的情況下,使用者還可利用主裝置透過無線連結控制從裝置執行功能,並要求從裝置將執行結果透過無線連結回傳至主裝置。或者,使用者也可直接在從裝置操作功能,而從裝置也會將執行結果透過無線連結回傳至主裝置。藉此,可提供使用者操作複合裝置的彈性。 In addition, in the case where the master device and the slave device are separated from each other, the user can also use the master device to control the slave device to perform a function through the wireless link, and request the slave device to transmit the execution result back to the master device through the wireless link. Alternatively, the user can also operate the function directly on the slave device, and the slave device will also transmit the execution result back to the master device via the wireless link. Thereby, the flexibility of the user to operate the composite device can be provided.

綜上所述,本發明之複合裝置及其畫面顯示方法係利用磁性連接兩個裝置,並偵測磁性變化以判斷兩個裝置之間的重疊、錯位、側面連接、分離等狀態,並在兩個裝置自彼此重疊的狀態分離時,由主裝置喚醒從裝置,並同步啟動從裝置上相對應的應用程式,以便在兩個裝置上顯示相同應用程式的不同畫面。藉此,可提供更大的螢幕顯示空間及使用彈性。 In summary, the composite device of the present invention and its screen display method utilize magnetic connection of two devices, and detect magnetic changes to determine the state of overlap, misalignment, side connection, separation, etc. between the two devices, and in two When the devices are separated from each other, the slave device wakes up the slave device and simultaneously activates the corresponding application on the slave device to display different screens of the same application on both devices. This provides greater screen display space and flexibility.

雖然本發明已以實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內,當可作些許之更動與潤飾,故本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention, and any one of ordinary skill in the art can make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
