Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling a display cursor on a touch display device, in particular to a method for accurately controlling the position of the cursor only by a figure of the user. The method comprises: the cursor is displayed on a touch-control display device, touch moving input is carried out on the touch-control display device on a control part which can be turned on selectively, and the received touch moving input is responded; the moving touch locus of the figure on the control part can be followed and maintained by the display cursor. The cursor control method not only can realize the purpose of accurately aiming smaller operational objectives only by a figure of the user, but also needs no extra devices.

Description

Cursor control method

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind ofly how on touching-type monitor, to control display highlighting, refer in particular to a kind of method that only just can accurately control cursor position by user's finger.

Background technology

At present, touch technology more and more is subjected to pursuing of people, hand-hold electronic equipments particularly, as mobile phone, PDA, MP3 etc., and the application of touch technology on personal computing devices becomes more and more widely gradually, as being at present the Trackpad of in notebook computer, using known to the Da Cong, along with the high speed development of electronic age, electronic product will drive in lighter and handier, be easy to carry, as with touch equipment and display in conjunction with being touch-sensitive display, or the user only needs to select to operate by the finger touch display object of appointment.

In the existing computing equipment that touch controller operation is provided, what utilize is a kind of typical cursor operations, be exactly that move the cursor position of definitely following finger, touching under the smaller situation of device, during pinpoint if desired operation, user's finger is difficult to the little display object of aiming, have the situation that touches other display object, this maloperation meeting makes system send wrong instruction, thereby can not finish predetermined purpose, existing solution provides a pointer, because the nib of pointer is compared with finger, can realize a relative accurate localization, but increase the device of computing equipment virtually, it is small and exquisite to satisfy computing equipment, relatively thin requirement, for more and more users that like directly use the finger manipulation of oneself, only how to solve just can be rapid and simple by user's oneself finger the little display object of operation the time, just apparent particularly important.

Therefore need solve this problem for the user provides a kind of easy method.

Summary of the invention

The actual technical matters to be solved of the present invention is how to be implemented in the method that only aims at ad-hoc location on the user interface of similar touch-sensitive display by user's finger accurately.

In order to realize above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, in the computing machine of touch-sensitive display, a kind ofly be used for the method that cursor is controlled input, this method comprises: display highlighting on touch-sensitive display, on the control that alternative is opened the touch of touch-sensitive display is moved input and moved input in response to receiving to touch, display highlighting will be followed and be kept pointing mobile touch track on control.

The method of on touch-sensitive display, controlling cursor of the present invention, not only can satisfy under the situation of touch controller reduced size, only can realize accurately aiming at the purpose of less operand, and not need other extra means, as pointer etc. by user finger.

Embodiment

The present invention is further illustrated below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.

The invention provides on touch-sensitive display with the method for finger control cursor to ad-hoc location, see also illustrated in figures 1 and 2, touch equipment 1 has touch-sensitive display 10, the user can provide input by thefinger 2 of oneself ondisplay 10, on described touch equipment 1, also be provided with analternative control 11 of opening, thiscontrol 11 is similar to the Trackpad on the notebook, or existing mouse, it is emphasized that thiscontrol 11 is operation interfaces, the user can be selectively opened as required, when not opening or closing thiscontrol 11, the finger manipulation of user ontouch control display 10 is absolute the touch entirely, be thatcursor 3 is along with the touch point offinger 2 is moved and moved, vivid says that finger touch point and cursor overlap, and can click, multiple gesture operations such as double-click, promptly absolute touch mode; When finger needs to point to an accurate object, display highlighting 3 on touch-sensitive display 10,open control 11 then, theuser points 2 can touch mobile input to touch-sensitive display 10 thereon, system receives information then, move input in response to receiving to touch, display highlighting 3 will follow and keep the user to point 2 mobile touch track oncontrol 11, when promptly in theuser points 2 zones at thiscontrol 11, operating, the output of similar Trackpad is provided,finger 2 provides relative displacement tocursor 3,cursor 3 will move along withfinger 2mobile control 11 in, thereby realize accurately location, say accurately, after thiscontrol 11 is opened,finger 2 moving on thiscontrol 11, operations such as click,cursor 3 is not followedfinger 2 and is appeared on thesecontrol 11 interfaces, butcursor 3 is relatively moving withfinger 2 moving oncontrol 11 on the original position, under this pattern, finger touch point and cursor heavy and, be relative touch mode, when if the user need click, be the click of the current location of cursor oncontrol 11, vivid says the contact point of finger, be not the display dot of cursor, but cursor is really done a similar motion with finger.

Specifically, whenfinger 2 is operated on thiscontrol 11, provide a relative position to move tocursor 3,finger 2 provides an absolute position to move tocursor 3 not when these control 11 interfaces.

The interface location of above-mentionedcontrol 11, size, outward appearance, attribute users such as color can set arbitrarily according to the hobby of oneself.

See also shown in Figure 3, be another embodiment of the present invention, no matter which kind ofgesture operation points 2 is on touch-sensitive display 10, all can be divided into two kinds of operator schemes, be absolute touch mode and relative touch mode, when the user provides input by oneselffinger 2 ondisplay 10, if when not needing accurately to locate, the finger manipulation of user on touch control display, be absolute the touch entirely, becursor 3 along with the touch point offinger 2 is moved and moved,whole touch display 10 enters absolute touch mode; Whenfinger 2 needs to point to an accurate object,whole touch display 10 is changeable to enter relative touch mode, be thatwhole touch display 10 iscontrol 11, under this relative touch mode, if theuser points 2 and touches on thedisplay 10,cursor 3 can not followedfinger 2 and be appeared on this position, but still be in the original position is position under the absolute touch mode,cursor 3 can move along with moving offinger 2,point 2 operating gestures ondisplay 10 this moment, as click, double-click, pull and wait the corresponding operating of just having realized controlling cursor demonstration place object, the user can accurately navigate to ad-hoc location thus, after finishing this specific touch operation, the user can switch to touch-sensitive display 10 state under the absolute touch mode again.

Based on many fingers touch screen system, or computing machine can the set basis senses touch methods such as relative motion mode of finger number N two fingers, or or open and close control and be implemented in conversion under the absolute and relative pattern.

More than two kinds of technical schemes purpose that will realize be the same, be that the user can only be led to finger and is implemented in accurate location on the touching-type monitor, though the method difference that adopts, but for control open or the switching of pattern all can realize identical effect, method is not all enumerated, but based on this inventive point all in this scope.
