控制清单卷动的方法及电子装置Method and electronic device for controlling list scrolling

技术领域technical field

本发明是有关于一种控制清单卷动的方法，且特别是有关于一种控制清单连续卷动及跳跃卷动的方法及使用该方法的电子装置。 The present invention relates to a method for controlling scrolling of a list, and in particular to a method for controlling continuous scrolling and skipping scrolling of a list and an electronic device using the method. the

背景技术Background technique

为配合现代人繁忙的生活节奏，各种不占空间且携带方便的可携式电子装置也推陈出新。以个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant，PDA)、个人数字助理手机、智能型手机(Smart phone)为例，其不仅具备了传统通讯装置的各项功能，更能让使用者通过其内建的窗口操作系统来达到撰写文件、收发电子邮件、浏览网络或是使用实时通讯软件等目的。 In order to cope with the busy pace of life of modern people, various portable electronic devices that do not take up much space and are easy to carry are also introduced. Taking Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), personal digital assistant mobile phone, and smart phone (Smart phone) as examples, they not only have various functions of traditional communication devices, but also allow users to operating system to achieve the purpose of writing documents, sending and receiving emails, browsing the Internet, or using instant messaging software. the

对于外型要求轻、薄、短、小的可携式电子装置来说，其本身的体积受到相当限制，而其储存的数据则相对庞大，为了在有限的屏幕空间内显示这些数据，一般是采用清单条列的方式将数据一笔笔地呈现在屏幕上，藉以提供使用者浏览及检视。其中，当清单中项目的数目超过屏幕所能容纳的范围时，可携式电子装置一般会在其屏幕边缘额外显示一个卷动轴(scroll bar)，以供使用者通过点选或拖曳的方式来卷动清单，而快速搜寻所欲查询的项目内容。 For portable electronic devices that require light, thin, short, and small appearance, their volume is quite limited, and the data stored in them is relatively large. In order to display these data in a limited screen space, generally The data is presented on the screen in the form of lists and columns, so as to provide users with browsing and viewing. Among them, when the number of items in the list exceeds the range that the screen can accommodate, the portable electronic device generally displays an additional scroll bar (scroll bar) on the edge of the screen for the user to click or drag to scroll through the list and quickly search for the desired item. the

然而，在上述使用卷动轴卷动清单的过程中，使用者必须一边卷动清单一边注意目前卷动到的项目内容。若清单包括较多的项目时，则需要重复点选卷动轴多次或者拖曳较长的距离，才能搜寻到所需的项目。若电子装置是采用触控面板或触控屏幕作为输入接口，则由于这类输入接口的尺寸较小，相对地对于使用者的触碰位置也要求更精确，结果使用者在观察目前卷动的项目内容之余，还需费神地点选及拖曳卷动轴，才能够顺利地找到所需的项目。由此可知，利用卷动轴来卷动清单的方式仍有其缺点，因此有必要提供一种更为直觉且便利的方式，来帮助使用者快速浏览清单并搜寻所需的项目。 However, in the above-mentioned process of scrolling the list using the scroll shaft, the user must pay attention to the content of the currently scrolled item while scrolling the list. If the list includes many items, it is necessary to repeatedly click the scroll wheel several times or drag it for a long distance to find the desired item. If the electronic device uses a touch panel or a touch screen as an input interface, due to the small size of this type of input interface, it is relatively more accurate for the user's touch position. As a result, the user observes the currently scrolling In addition to the item content, it takes a lot of effort to select and drag the scroll to find the desired item smoothly. It can be seen that the method of scrolling the list by using the scroll bar still has its disadvantages, so it is necessary to provide a more intuitive and convenient way to help the user quickly browse the list and search for the desired item. the

The control method of this embodiment is applicable to theelectronic device 100 in FIG. 1 , and the detailed steps of the control list scrolling method of this embodiment are described below in combination with various components in the electronic device 100:

请同时参照图1及图2，首先，在步骤S210中，显示单元110显示包括多个项目的清单，其中该些项目是依照使用者自订或电子装置100预设的分类规则而分类为多个群组，此分类规则例如是项目的名称、类型、日期、作者或档案大小。举例来说，若显示单元110显示包含多个联络人项目的联络人清单，则该些联络人可依照联络人姓名的第一个英文字母自动分类为二十六个群组；另举例来说，该些联络人亦可依照联络人的类型手动分类为不同群组(例如：家族成员、同事、同学、客户及朋友等五个群组)。 Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 at the same time. First, in step S210, thedisplay unit 110 displays a list including a plurality of items, wherein these items are classified into multiple categories according to user-defined or preset classification rules of theelectronic device 100. group, such as the item's name, type, date, author, or file size. For example, if thedisplay unit 110 displays a contact list including multiple contact items, these contacts can be automatically classified into twenty-six groups according to the first English letter of the contact name; , these contacts can also be manually classified into different groups according to the type of contacts (for example: five groups of family members, colleagues, classmates, customers and friends). the

接着，在步骤S220中，触控面板120检测其上使用者的一触控输入。接着，在步骤S230中，判断单元130判断此触控输入的类型。若在步骤S230中，判断单元130判定触控面板120所检测的触控输入为单一触控输入时， 则进入步骤S240。在步骤S240中，控制单元140会以项目为单位来连续卷动清单。详细地说，所述的单一触控输入例如是使用者使用一手指或触控笔(stylus)碰触触控面板120的单点触碰输入，或是使用者使用一手指或触控笔在触控面板120上滑动所产生的的单一滑动输入。在一实施例中，当判断单元130判定此触控输入为单一滑动输入时，则控制单元140例如是以项目为单位，朝此单一滑动输入的滑动方向的相同方向或相反方向连续卷动清单。 Next, in step S220 , thetouch panel 120 detects a user's touch input thereon. Next, in step S230, the judgingunit 130 judges the type of the touch input. If in step S230, the determiningunit 130 determines that the touch input detected by thetouch panel 120 is a single touch input, then enter step S240. In step S240, thecontrol unit 140 continuously scrolls through the list in units of items. In detail, the single touch input is, for example, a single-point touch input in which the user uses a finger or a stylus to touch thetouch panel 120, or the user uses a finger or a stylus to touch thetouch panel 120. A single swipe input generated by swipe on thetouch panel 120 . In one embodiment, when the judgingunit 130 determines that the touch input is a single sliding input, thecontrol unit 140 continuously scrolls the list in the same direction or in the opposite direction to the sliding direction of the single sliding input, for example, in units of items. . the

另一方面，若在步骤S230中，判断单元130判定触控面板120所检测的触控输入为多重触控输入时，则进入步骤S250。在步骤S250中，控制单元140会以群组为单位来跳跃卷动清单。详细地说，所述的多重触控输入例如是使用者同时使用多根手指碰触触控面板120所产生的多点触碰输入；使用者使用的一或多根手指触碰触控面板120，同时其它一或多根手指在触控面板120上滑动所产生的触碰滑动输入；或是使用者同时使用多根手指在触控面板120上滑动所产生的多重滑动输入。在一实施例中，当判断单元130判定此触控输入为双重滑动输入且朝同一方向滑动时，则控制单元140例如是以群组为单位，依照群组的排列顺序，朝此双重滑动输入的滑动方向的相同方向或相反方向跳跃卷动清单。 On the other hand, if in step S230 , if the determiningunit 130 determines that the touch input detected by thetouch panel 120 is a multi-touch input, the process proceeds to step S250 . In step S250, thecontrol unit 140 skips the scrolling list by group. In detail, the multi-touch input is, for example, a multi-touch input generated by the user using multiple fingers to touch thetouch panel 120 at the same time; the user uses one or more fingers to touch thetouch panel 120 , while other one or more fingers slide on thetouch panel 120 to generate a touch slide input; or the user uses multiple fingers to slide on thetouch panel 120 at the same time to generate multiple slide inputs. In one embodiment, when the judgingunit 130 determines that the touch input is a double sliding input and slides in the same direction, thecontrol unit 140, for example, uses a group as a unit, according to the arrangement order of the group, to make the double sliding input Jump in the same direction as the swipe direction or the opposite direction to scroll the list. the

举例来说，图3A、图3B及图3C是依照本发明一实施例所绘示的控制清单卷动方法的范例。请先参照图3A，本实施例是以联络人清单为例，此联络人清单是依照联络人姓名的第一个字母而分类为二十六个群组。如图3A所示，当联络人清单被开启时，电子装置会依照联络人姓名第一个字母的顺序在屏幕300上显示清单310。其中，由于联络人的数目超过屏幕所能容纳的范围，因此在屏幕上显示的清单310仅包括联络人清单中的前8笔联络人信息。 For example, FIG. 3A , FIG. 3B and FIG. 3C are examples of a method for scrolling a control list according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 3A first. In this embodiment, the contact list is taken as an example. The contact list is classified into 26 groups according to the first letters of the contact names. As shown in FIG. 3A , when the contact list is opened, the electronic device will display alist 310 on thescreen 300 in order of the first letters of the contact names. Wherein, since the number of contacts exceeds the capacity of the screen, thelist 310 displayed on the screen only includes the first 8 contact information in the contact list. the

请参照图3B，当电子装置接收到由使用者所执行的向下单一滑动输入T1时，则会朝向下方连续卷动联络人清单，而显示出清单320。其中，电子装置卷动联络人清单的幅度是以使用者滑动输入的距离而定，而卷动后的联络人清单则可能是其中的任一段连续的清单，例如图3B所示的以字母A、B为开头的清单320。 Referring to FIG. 3B , when the electronic device receives a downward single sliding input T1 performed by the user, it will continuously scroll down the contact list to display alist 320 . Wherein, the range of scrolling the contact list by the electronic device is determined by the distance of the user's sliding input, and the scrolled contact list may be any continuous list, such as the letter A shown in FIG. 3B , B is thelist 320 starting with. the

请参照图3C，当电子装置接收到由使用者所执行的向下双重滑动输入T2时，则会朝向下方跳跃卷动联络人清单，而显示出清单330。其中，电子装置卷动联络人清单的幅度同样是以使用者滑动输入的距离而定，而卷动的顺 序则是以群组的排列顺序而定。需说明的是，电子装置所卷动的联络人清单是依照所卷动到的群组来显示，例如图3C所示的以字母C为开头的清单320。详细地说，在实施跳跃卷动时，电子装置例如是将跳跃卷动后的群组的第一笔联络人数据显示在屏幕300的最上方(即如图3C所示)或是显示在屏幕300的中央，而让使用者能够由该群组的第一笔联络人开始检视所需的联络人数据。 Referring to FIG. 3C , when the electronic device receives the downward double sliding input T2 performed by the user, it will jump and scroll the contact list downwards to display thelist 330 . Wherein, the scrolling range of the contact list by the electronic device is also determined by the user's sliding input distance, and the scrolling order is determined by the arrangement order of the groups. It should be noted that the scrolled contact list of the electronic device is displayed according to the scrolled group, such as thelist 320 beginning with the letter C shown in FIG. 3C . In detail, when performing skip scrolling, the electronic device, for example, displays the first contact data of the group after skip scrolling on the top of the screen 300 (as shown in FIG. 3C ) or on thescreen 300, so that the user can view the required contact information from the first contact of the group. the

综上所述，通过本实施例的控制清单卷动方法，使用者即可通过简单的单指触碰滑动及多指(双指)触碰滑动的操作动作来控制电子装置卷动清单，而达到快速搜寻清单项目的目的。 To sum up, through the control list scrolling method of this embodiment, the user can control the electronic device to scroll the list through simple single-finger touch and slide and multi-finger (two-finger) touch and slide operations. To achieve the purpose of quickly searching list items. the

值得注意的是，在一实施例中，电子装置在跳跃卷动清单的同时，还包括所显示清单的前景显示一个群组指示(indication)，以指示出目前卷动到的群组。此群组指示例如是以文字、数字或图标的方式来表现。 It should be noted that, in one embodiment, when the electronic device jumps and scrolls the list, it also includes a group indication displayed in the foreground of the displayed list to indicate the currently scrolled group. The group indication is expressed in the form of characters, numbers or icons, for example. the

举例来说，图4A及图4B是依照本发明一实施例所绘示的控制清单卷动方法的范例。本实施例同样是以联络人清单为例，而图4A的清单410则与图3A的清单310相同，仅显示出联络人清单中的前8笔联络人信息。当电子装置接收到由使用者所执行的向下双重滑动输入T3时，除了会朝向下方跳跃卷动联络人清单以显示清单420外，也会在清单420的前景显示群组指示430，以指示出目前卷动到的群组「C」，而让使用者能够了解目前所卷动到的群组。需注意的是，在一实施例中，电子装置也可以在使用者执行双重滑动输入T3时，只切换显示群组指示430，而不卷动底下的清单410，直到使用者的手指移开触控面板时，电子装置才显示出清单420。 For example, FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B are examples of a method for scrolling a control list according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment also takes the contact list as an example, and thelist 410 in FIG. 4A is the same as thelist 310 in FIG. 3A , only displaying the first 8 contact information in the contact list. When the electronic device receives the downward double sliding input T3 performed by the user, in addition to scrolling the contact list downward to display thelist 420, it will also display agroup indication 430 in the foreground of thelist 420 to indicate Display the group "C" that is currently scrolled to, so that the user can understand the group that is currently scrolled to. It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the electronic device can also switch to display thegroup indication 430 only when the user performs the double sliding input T3, without scrolling thebottom list 410 until the user's finger moves away from the touch screen. When the control panel is opened, the electronic device displays thelist 420. the

在另一实施例中，电子装置可以在显示清单的同时，在清单的前景或清单的边缘另显示一个群组目录，并在电子装置卷动清单时，通过在此群组目录上显示群组指示，以指示出目前卷动到的群组，此群组指示也可以是以文字、数字或图标的方式来表现，另外，群组指示亦例如是以改变字体大小(例如：放大)、改变字型(例如：字体加粗)或是改变颜色等方式显示在群组目录中目前卷动到的群组名称上。 In another embodiment, while displaying the list, the electronic device may display another group directory on the foreground or edge of the list, and when the electronic device scrolls the list, by displaying groups on the group directory Instructions to indicate the group currently scrolled to, this group instruction can also be expressed in the form of text, numbers or icons, in addition, the group instruction can also be changed, for example, by changing the font size (for example: zooming in), changing The font (for example: bold font) or changing the color is displayed on the name of the group currently scrolled to in the group directory. the

举例来说，图5A及图5B是依照本发明另一实施例所绘示的控制清单卷动方法的范例。本实施例同样是以联络人清单为例，而图5A的清单510除了显示出联络人清单中的前8笔联络人信息，在其前景还包括显示群组目录502。此群组目录502为一个卷动轴，其上除了显示联络人数据的所有群组(即 A～Z)之外，还另以放大的方式显示群组指示504，以指示出目前显示的清单510所属的群组「A」。当电子装置接收到由使用者所执行的向下双重滑动输入T4时，除了会朝向下方跳跃卷动联络人清单以显示清单520外，也会切换显示群组指示508，以指示出目前卷动到的群组「C」，而让使用者能够了解目前所卷动到的群组。 For example, FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B are examples of a method for scrolling a control list according to another embodiment of the present invention.
