Description

Electronic device input system and method

Technical field

The present invention is relevant for a kind of electronic device input system and method, especially about a kind of electronic device input system and method that is used for the multimedia player or the information processing platform.

Background technology

In recent years, multimedia player, the information processing platform or similar devices development are rapidly, it is controlled and also gradually hommization of display mode, changeing differentiation gradually by passing type mode shows and steer mode to graphical, the user is provided operation-interface more easily, as disclosing a kind of multiwindow formula operating and controlling interface for electronic information platform in the TaiWan, China I262436 patent specification, comprise a parent window opening module, one subwindow opening module, an one subwindow operational module and a functional unit operational module, it utilizes parent window opening module and subwindow opening module to open and arrange the window menu of choosing, right its all arranged with rectangular window, when the window of opening on average during divided frame, can cause picture to stay the room of not using, and with the mode of rectangular arranged when choosing, also cause operational inconvenience and attractive in appearance on problem, therefore, the menu module of rectangular arranged is a kind of input mode of more not hommization in the use.

As from the foregoing, existing electronic device input system and method obviously still have inconvenience and exist with disappearance on reality is used, and can treat in addition improver.

Therefore, the waiting of the above-mentioned disappearance of inventor's thoughts improved, and is that the spy concentrates on studies and cooperates the utilization of scientific principle, proposes a kind of reasonable in design and effectively improve the present invention of above-mentioned disappearance finally.

Summary of the invention

In view of above existing shortcoming, fundamental purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of arc shooting formula menu that has, and controls electronic device input system and method easily.

For reaching above-mentioned purpose, the invention provides a kind of electronic device input system and method, reach simple and easy input interface and the output interface controlled by the mode of user's touch-control, and avoid the too much or very few problem of menu quantity with the menu of arc or circular arrangement.

Electronic device input system comprises a touch panel, has the interface of input and output simultaneously; One data storage module has an image storage unit and a functional menu storage element, and this image storage unit is in order to store several images, and this functional menu storage unit stores is corresponding to the functional menu and the corresponding functional parameter of this image; An and processor, read image stored in this image storage unit and be shown in this touch panel, put middle demonstration with a circular image, and make other image do annular arrangement and specify each image correspondence one to be stored in the correlation function menu of functional menu storage element around this circular image of putting middle demonstration, this circular image that shows in putting is shown in zone on the touch panel in order to receive a direction signal and a confirmation signal, after this processor is chosen the image that is shown in this touch panel according to this direction signal, read out corresponding image in this image storage unit and replace the image that has been shown in this touch panel, this processor reads the correlation function menu in this functional menu storage unit and reads corresponding image in this image storage unit according to this confirmation signal, and with this functional menu specify correspond to corresponding image after, these images are shown in this touch panel and replace the image that has been shown in this touch panel.

The step of this electronic installation input method comprises:

(1) reads image stored in the image storage unit and be shown in a touch panel with a processor, and put middle demonstration with a circular image, the circular image that makes other image show in putting around this is done annular arrangement and is specified each image correspondence one to be stored in the correlation function menu of a functional menu storage element;

(2) read the circular image that shows in putting by this by this processor and be shown in regional received signal on the touch panel;

(3) judge whether to receive a direction signal by this processor, if have, then analyzing this direction signal is clockwise direction or counter clockwise direction, and makes it be shown in this touch panel to replace the image that has shown after reading relevant image, if not, then carry out next step;

(4) judge whether to receive a confirmation signal by this processor, if no confirmation signal, resumes step (2) then, if confirmation signal is arranged, after then reading corresponding image and functional menu, these images are shown in the image that this contact panel has shown with replacement, and these functional menus appointments are corresponded to relevant image, and carry out next step; And

(5) by this processor, carry out the interior function of this functional menu and read corresponding image according to this this function, this image is shown in this contact panel.

The mode of arranging in the rectangular array mode compared to the electronic device input system and the method for prior art, electronic device input system of the present invention and method can be avoided menu quantity number to cause in the mode of arc shooting and arrange inconvenience and inaesthetic problem, to improve the disappearance of prior art.

Hence one can see that, uses the various shortcomings that electronic device input system of the present invention and method can solve prior art, so that provide succinct and make things convenient for load module, and effectively reduces the operational inconvenience of user, the real disappearance that has overcome prior art.
